Xiong Wuliang's pro-military camp kidnapped all corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and together with Guo Xiu, he was imprisoned in Shansang County.

As for the Guo Mansion, of course, there is no need to surround it all the time.

They can't run anyway.

Subsequently, the pro-military battalion dispatched troops at the same time and arrested all the corrupt officials involved in the case in many other families, and arrested more than 300 people in total...... The prison in Sansang County was overcrowded.

Among them, the one who caught the least corrupt officials was Zhongli County, which had just been incorporated into Xiong Wuliang's rule.

Probably because Xiong Wuliang was 'notorious' (laughing to death) in Zhongli County, so after the 'cheating order' was issued, the officials of Zhongli County were all restrained......

……

Guo Mansion.

The mansion looked in tatters, with traces of fighting in many places—noticeably less glamorous than the previous day. The most intuitive thing is that the precious tortoiseshell bamboos planted at the door were broken by a reckless sergeant.

Some doors and windows were also broken, and stubble and sawdust were scattered all over the ground, as if they had not had time to clean up.

In the hall, a dozen patriarchs gathered again - but without the vigor of the previous day, replaced by extreme rage.

"Xiong Wuliang! Shaft! How dare so!? ”

"This person sent troops to go straight into our clan's mansion and kidnap the old man's little grandson!"

"I'm the same!"

“……”

Guo Huai sat on the main seat, and only after a while did he say in a deep voice: "Hmph, this Mi Liang really doesn't know what to do." ”

"Don't say that you - even my Guo Mansion, he dares to attack the army!"

"Not only did I take a lot of people, but even the old man's sister-in-law Guo Xiu was arrested by that guy!"

All the patriarchs were filled with righteous indignation.

That Guo Xiu, what a good child!

In addition to relying on his own tyranny on weekdays, he occasionally robbed people's girls, beat farmers, ate, drank, prostituted and gambled, walked eagles and teased dogs, opened gambling houses, and bullied men and women...... There are no faults!

is such a well-behaved good boy, who was actually captured and imprisoned by Xiong Wuliang!

Outrageous!

Think of your own good sons and nephews and good descendants...... Now they have all been captured by that damn Xiong Wuliang - all the patriarchs are angry!

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you still remember that we waited for the blood alliance and made an agreement to advance and retreat together?" Guo Huai said slowly.

"Now that Xiong Wuliang is rampant, it's time for him to pay a heavy price!"

"Guo once sent a letter to the patriarchs, saying that the officials of all ethnic groups had agreed to resign together...... I wonder what the patriarchs think? ”

The patriarchs looked at each other, and then responded angrily: "Now that the skin has been torn, of course we will obey Patriarch Guo's orders." ”

"That's right! Let's resign! ”

"Look at Xiong Wuliang without us, how can he govern his four counties!" The crowd was in high spirits.

Since ancient times, it has been kings and scholars who have ruled the world together...... Although that damn Xiong Wuliang is not a king, the same is true for governing fiefdoms.

Nowadays, seven or eight out of ten of the officials of the fiefdom are from all ethnic groups.

Xiong Wuliang still dares to tear his face with everyone? And with a very tough and arrogant attitude, offending all the families at the same time?

How dare he!

……

Guo Huai couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief when he saw that everyone was in the same attitude.

Although his method is absolutely unacceptable, he is afraid that everyone will not cooperate - if any of them eat inside and outside, they will lose everything.

Fortunately, Xiong Wuliang's penny has no brains, and he offended everyone in one go.

"Good! Since everyone has the same mind, then we will all resign tomorrow! Guo Huai made a decision.

The patriarchs cheered: "Xiong Wuliang, how stupid! ”

"Today I want to see how he governs his fiefdom without us!"

"I don't expect that in two days, Xiong Wuliang will have to let people go obediently."

"Hmph, it's not enough to just release people...... I want him to hand over the management rights and management rights of Quyang Merchant Square, which will be divided equally among all ethnic groups! Moreover, I want Xiong Wuliang to kneel down and beg me! ”

"Not only this time - if Xiong Wuliang has anything in his hand that everyone wants in the future, I will resign together later!" There are already patriarchs imagining a bright future.

This is called a trick of freshness, and it is eaten all over the world.

As long as it succeeds once, everyone unites, and you can take Xiong Wuliang casually in the future.

"That's right! That's it! The patriarchs were in a good mood, as if they had seen Xiong Wuliang anxious and had to come to everyone to grovel and behave for peace.

……

The county lord's mansion of Shansang.

Xiong Wuliang sat on the main seat, majestic.

Yin Qu of Quyang County came to Xiong Wuliang and appeared very excited: "Junhou, a total of 327 officials have been arrested in the four counties under his rule, and all of them have been imprisoned. ”

"The prison is overcrowded, I hope the prince and the marquis will start the trial as soon as possible!"

Xiong Wuliang nodded: "Start the trial of the criminal immediately." ”

"Qu Zi will personally try it, and Ben Hou will be in charge for you!"

Qu Yuan was in high spirits and said yes.

It's so cool-

Although only the four counties of Quyang, Ping'a, Shansang and Zhongli are currently implementing the reforms, Qu Yuan is already excited.

In particular, Xiong Wuliang's clear attitude and support made Qu Yuan the most excited!

Although Xiong Wuliang's original intention to change the law ...... Apparently just trying to take care of their own money bags......

But that's enough!

Finally, let Xiong Wuliang's ass sit on the side that supports the change!

Qu Yuan received the order, and immediately transferred dozens of Legalist students from Quyang Academy to jointly try the case—and their teachers heard that Xiong Wuliang's fiefdom was changing the law, and they all raised their eyebrows, feeling that they were taller than those Confucianism and Taoism masters when they walked.

A Legalist master like Shen Dao was not satisfied just by sending his disciples, and even ran from the academy to Shansang in person.

After all, he also wanted to investigate the application of Legalism in the Chu State on the spot, so that he could study in the future.

It is probably equivalent to a university professor who writes a thesis for academics in later generations, and suddenly finds that there are cases under his nose that can be written into his own paper......

Not surprisingly, the arrival of this Legalist Grandmaster made Qu Yuan very excited.

Qu Yuan was thunderous, and put the name of deputy judge on his head, and just caught the strong man who was cautious.

Be cautious and happy to do this - try more than 300 corrupt officials at one time, even if you look at the whole world, there are not many such opportunities!

Qu Yuan, Shen Dao, and dozens of Legalist students began to judge those corrupt officials day and night.

The process is also simple - the evidence collected by Qing Yuwei is very complete, and the dates and amounts of bribes or blackmails to merchants are clearly listed.

These officials on trial could only plead guilty in the face of overwhelming evidence.

But their attitude is very arrogant!

"Yes, the official did extort ten gold from the merchant, what should he do?" An official in Shansang County looked at Shen Dao with his nostrils and said.

"It's only five hundred dollars, why do you make such a big move?" An official in Ping'a County said.

"Hmph, in two or three days, you will personally send us back!"

"I don't think Xiong Wuliang will dare to do anything to us!"

……

Scald! It's the other way around!

The newcomer was so cautious that he was so angry that he blew his beard and stared!

I don't know if I don't see it, I am shocked when I see it - this Chu State is indeed full of evils, even if these bureaucrats from local big clans are already in prison, they are so arrogant and domineering.

On the contrary, Qu Yuan, who was born in Chu, was not surprised by the arrogance of these officials, but smiled and comforted Shen -
