Wang Hong's face was extremely ugly, he took a deep breath, and pretended to be calm: "Lord Lin, don't wronged the lower officials, we have been officials for many years to fulfill our duties, and we do not seek merit but also no fault." ”

"Dedication?"

Lin Cang couldn't help but sneer, "Do you think that if you say it nicely, you can cover up the mistakes you have made?" ”

The food at today's banquet may definitely solve the problem of satiety for thousands of people.

The corrupt officials gathered here obviously did not care about the lives of these people.

"Lord Lin, the lower officials are worthy of the great summer son, they are conscientious, and they have never been greedy for money other than Yulu. If the adults don't believe it, the lower officials are willing to cooperate with the investigation. ”

Wang Hong has completely calmed down at this moment, and what he said with his head held high is justified.

It's like how natural it is for him to take a concubine and put on a feast.

Lin Cang glared and whistled at the sky, and countless secret guards emerged.

Lin Cang flicked his sleeves and said: "Go check immediately, and you must not miss anyone present." ”

After a while, everyone present was taken down indiscriminately.

Before Wang Hong left, he still ran to Nangong Jingrong's side without giving up.

"Fifth Highness, do you still want to connive at Lord Lin's misdeeds? Xia Guan is an official of the imperial court, and even if Lord Lin suspects that Xia Guan is guilty, he must make His Majesty clear. ”

"Only by receiving His Majesty's will can he be qualified to judge the lower officials."

Nangong Jingrong didn't even look at him, and said to Lin Cang leisurely, "Lord Lin, hurry up and find out, this king is still waiting to return to Beijing." ”

Lin Cang waved his hand and smiled knowingly, "Obey, His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince." ”

Turned around and raised his foot directly, and kicked him hard.

Wang Hongna could withstand Lin Cang's kick, flew directly behind him, and fell to the ground half a second later.

Lin Cang said coldly: "You talk a lot of nonsense, and my ears are buzzing when I hear it." ”

"Now shut up for me, and let you answer whatever you want, and don't say a word of nonsense, understand?"

Wang Hong's eyes widened, clutching his chest in pain, not daring to say anything more.

Lin Cang's cold light flashed suddenly, "The imperial court has allocated a lot of silver, but the situation in the four cities in the south is not optimistic, what is the catharsy here?" ”

"Recruit it truthfully, or the official will kill you immediately."

Wang Hong was so frightened that he was drenched in a cold sweat, looked at Lin Cang nervously, and said respectfully, "Lord Lin, the lower officials really don't know." ”

"If you don't eat soft and hard, it's really damned."

There was a stab.

The sword shadow flew by, and Wang Hong's right ear fell off, and blood flowed everywhere in an instant.

Wang Hong covered his broken ears with panic on his face, feeling Lin Cang's cold gaze, and trembling with fear, "My lord, Rao... Spare your life! The small ones must be told truthfully. ”

Lin Cang continued indifferently: "Then you can tell me clearly, what is the greasy here?" ”

Wang Hong panicked in his heart.

It's not that he doesn't know what's going on here, but he doesn't dare to say it.

If you offend the upper side by saying it, you will inevitably die, not to mention that Lin Cang will also kill him.

Just when he was entangled, Lin Cang smiled, "I'm an impatient, don't let me wait too long, otherwise the sword has no eyes, and I can't guarantee what I will do." ”

Lin Cang's eyes were fixed on him, and the expression on his face was cloudy.

Privately embezzled the money and silver of the imperial court, and it is very likely that they secretly colluded with the ministers of Beijing, and the officials of the three cities in the south protected each other, forming a close relationship network.

This situation is too bizarre, a bit like a prelude to a rebellion.

Thinking of this, Lin Cang looked Wang Hong up and down with a scrutinizing gaze.

Lin Cang's gaze was too aggressive, and Wang Hong's face was like ashes

Hurriedly explained: "My lord, the lower officials are loyal to Great Xia, except for the imperial court, Lu Wan does not dare to take a penny, but the minister has only accepted some gifts from merchants, please enlighten your lordship." ”

The collusion between officials and businessmen is indeed reasonable.

But Lin Cang always felt that something was wrong with the three cities in the south.

He continued to look at Wang Hong without any expression.

Wang Hong eagerly explained: "The imperial court silver has to go through multiple layers of departmental screening before it can fall into the hands of the local government, according to the speculation of the lower officials, this silver is likely to be passive at that time." ”

"If you really get to the place, there is not much left in your hands, how can the lower officials be corrupt, the lower officials' money has always been innocent......"

"It's always innocent, come here, drag it down for interrogation."

Lin Cang was completely impatient.

As Wang Hong was dragged down, the expression on Lin Cang's face became more and more solemn.

Without the premise of ironclad evidence, he did not dare to rashly ask Wang Hong about the relationship between him and the capital.

If you want this group of people to tell the truth, it seems that you can only use severe punishment.

Nangong Jingrong couldn't help but ask, "Lord Lin, what are you going to do next?" ”

Lin Cang smiled, "Your Highness, did you say that there would have been turmoil in the summer for a long time. ”

Hearing this, Nangong Jingrong's face was gloomy and he didn't reply to his words.

Anton hurriedly reminded: "My lord, my words are serious. ”

Lin Cang shook his head, sighed, and continued: "We went all the way south, and we met very few people with rich lives on the way. ”

"Most of the people are living in misery, but the local officials are rich in food and clothing, and they are greedy for pleasure."

Nangong Jingrong didn't feel good when he heard it, "I just hope that the four cities in the south are like a ring ruler, which can deter the crooked thoughts of those people." ”

"Whatever I see and hear along the way, I will report it to my father, and I believe that my father will handle it properly, and the people will get better and better."

These corrupt officials are like moths in Great Xia, if they are not eliminated as soon as possible, the Great Xia will be eaten up by them sooner or later, and the people will never have a peaceful day.

Only when the thunder strikes and the decapitation of this group of people is changed to beheading, and the exile of the exile will not be tolerated, it is possible to save the Great Xia country.

It has a deterrent effect on other places, so that the people of the world are well fed, clothed, and clothed.

Lin Cang's eyes burst with murderous intent.

Nangong Jingrong saw his abnormality and persuaded: "Pass on the dictate of the prince, according to the laws of Great Xia, all the people involved in the case are corrupt, and even the clan relatives will not be tolerated. ”

At the same time, the officials who were being held in the prison were all frightened and silent.

Most of them in public had a premonition that their death was approaching, and they were already remorseful in their hearts.

Wang Hong scoffed at this, he sat up straight, looked at the group of officials with pale faces, and listened to their cries of Ai Ai.

shouted: "What are you crying about, do you really dare to do anything to us when Lin Cang and the Five Princes do?" It's just pretending to scare us. ”

"As long as we grit our teeth, they have no way out, and they will let us go."

An official's face instantly lit up with hope, "Really? ”

None of them in this group were wronged, and if they were really found out, they would all have to move their heads according to the laws of Great Xia.

"When did this officer lie to you?"

Wang Hong frowned and said: "We are all officials of the imperial court, without His Majesty's will, to move us is to openly disobey the holy will, and it will also cause the entire Great Xia bureaucracy to endanger themselves, as long as they are not stupid, they will never dare to touch us." ”

"After the incident, I will get in touch with the capital and take a good look at them, and then it will be their death."

"However, Lord Lin doesn't seem to scare us."

"Do a full set of plays."

Wang Hong's words were categorical, and his face was quite disdainful, "They just want to take the opportunity to beat us, and they will soon let us go, unless they dare to confront the entire Great Xia bureaucracy." ”

"When they come, we will try our best to please them, give them enough face, and we will be safe and sound."

Wang Hong has been mixed in officialdom for many years, and his ability to observe words and emotions can be called first-class.

His analysis is not unreasonable, according to common sense, Lin Cang and the others will never drive them.

That's when it happened.

Suddenly, there was a commotion.

Anton walked briskly to the cell door with dozens of secret guards.

Looking at the scene in front of him, a trace of excitement flashed in Wang Hong's eyes, and two lines of tears flowed in an instant.

"Please also tell the Fifth Prince, Lord Lin, that we know that we are wrong, and we will definitely take the lead of the Five Princes in the future."

Can.

A lightning-fast sword shadow flew by.

Wang Hong's smile was still on his face, but his head was already rolling.

Everyone looked at the scene in disbelief.

There was a lot of shouting at the scene, and it was quite chaotic.

Anton's face was cold and he repeated Nangong Jingrong's order.
