The things they discussed, saying that some of them were good was to explain to His Highness, and some of them were unpleasant, they were perfunctory to His Highness.

How could such a thing be known to him?

"Your Highness has just been put on the side by this field, and the person he hates the most at this time is probably the person who deceived him, if we can be honest with His Highness, he may understand our distress."

"But if he sees through that we are prevaricating him, then it is difficult to say what will happen."

Zhang Wuji's words were finished, and everyone thought so.

"Then the official will go to the palace now."

"Eh, Anle is in a hurry, it's not time yet."

"Why is that?"

"We need to show some sincerity first, at least make some eyebrows on the few things just now, so that we can report to Your Highness."

An Le thought for a while, stood up from the couch, and said with his hands in his hands: "That official will go to see His Highness in person in three days, I hope that all my colleagues can walk hand in hand, and don't let this official leave empty-handed." ”

"Yui!"

In the next three days, the entire city of Changyi became a pot of porridge.

But it is orderly in chaos, and it is only orderly.

The pavilion guards had to practice every day, and the number of patrols in the city could not be increased, and at the same time, the number of guards at each city gate was also increased, and the intensity of the investigation was greatly strengthened.

Jian Kou took a few pavilion guards in disguise and rode to the direction of Onozawa in the north, and among these pavilion pawns was the young man Liu Xiang.

Their task was to trace the traces of the Song bandits as much as possible.

And the busiest place is the county prison, which is not a big county prison with dozens of people at once, and it suddenly seems crowded.

In addition to the corrupt officials who were caught first, in the next three days, new people were sent in every day, and they were all merchants who had done business in Hetian.

There are some acquaintances who have weakened their legs as soon as they enter the county prison, and they confess their sins as if pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

But there are still some people who fantasize about being tough and protecting their ill-gotten gains.

But without exception, these rather hard-headed guys were all forced by waterboarding to shake everything out in the end, and none of them dared to hide anything.

On the first day alone, the amount of money "confiscated" from the hands of these corrupt and profiteers reached as much as 7 million, which is getting closer and closer to the figure of 8 million.

The experience of screening this prefectural order may not be rich enough, but it is very meticulous in doing things. Early every morning, he would take someone to the county jail to guard it, and as long as the clues were found in it and handed it to him, he would take someone to check it according to the map.

So much so that in the past few days, when the thin dogs in Changyi City saw Zhen Fu, they would hang their ears and hide in the dark alley with their tails between them.

Early in the morning of the third day, after drinking two large bowls of millet porridge in the county temple, Zhen Wei brought people to the lieutenant's mansion early as usual.

When he walked into the county prison, he heard the sound of torture of prisoners coming from inside the torture cell.

Zhen Wei didn't wait too long, and Fa Cao Shi Chen Xiu came out of the county prison.

"The subordinate asked Zhen Envoy Jun'an."

"Chen Caoshi doesn't have to be formal."

The rank of the county order is 600 stones, and Chen Xiu is a subordinate of the lieutenant's mansion, and the two have no affiliation, so their identities are not much different.

What's more, both of them are straight and straight at all, so their tempers are also right, so naturally there is less hypocrisy.

"Chen Caoshi, this is hard, and he started to work so early."

"I'm not hard, I just need to ask questions on the side, and it's He Prison who works hard."

It was the people of Facao who were tortured in the lobby of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but it was the prison and the jailer who were tortured in this county prison.

"Isn't it up to you to pry open the mouths of these filthy officials in the end?"

"Hehe, few of these people caught are really hard-core, and they will all be recruited with a little torture."

"How many people have been arrested now?" Zhen asked, he was only responsible for arresting the profiteers in Changyi County, and he didn't know much about the others.

"A total of twenty-eight corrupt officials have been arrested, and many of them are officials from other counties, and the Prime Minister's Government has also sent the edict to the counties.

Chen Xiu stretched out two fingers, this number was really a little shocking to Zhen.

"And that's not all, who knows if these more than 100 people will confess to more people?"

In this way, there are not three or four hundred officials arrested, and I am afraid that they will not be able to stop.

There are more than 2,000 large and small officials in the entire Changyi country, and three or four hundred people have been taken down at once, which is nothing less than a small exchange of blood.

The two of them looked at the county prison behind them, and they were afraid that it would be overcrowded for a long time.

"This time, An Le Xiang was forced into a corner by His Highness."

Zhen Wei is not yet forty years old, and the handful of goatee under his cheeks makes people look very capable.

The two words he said meant something, and he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Anle.

"This is not necessarily a good thing, the officialdom of this Changyi country is also going to change." Chen Xiu, the Fa Cao Shi, actually "complained".

"Yes, it is indeed merciful to be merciful, but it is a little too indulgent to treat the subordinates, and I don't know how many subordinates who have made mistakes have been let go." When Zhen said this, there seemed to be anger in his eyes.

"Maybe An Le Xiang wants to get a good name as a follower."

As soon as Chen Xiu's words came out, the two of them laughed in unison, as if there was some mockery.

There is no superiority or inferiority between a follower and a cool official. The former emphasizes moral education and is a believer in Confucianism; The latter emphasizes the rule of law and is a supporter of Legalism.

The two are yin and yang, and one is indispensable, but the reputation of the followers is better, and it is easy to get the praise of the county officials, so naturally many people want to package themselves as followers.

And Chen Xiu and Zhen Wei are obviously representatives of cool officials, and it is normal to be dissatisfied with An Le.

"But if you want me to say, this highness is really a wonderful person, he usually looks rebellious, but he didn't expect to force Changyi to kill, it's really a mistake." There was some sighing in Zhen Wei's words.

"Brother Zhen has never thought about a thing?"

"What?"

"Perhaps, didn't this Highness stumble by mistake?"

"Brother Chen, please advise." Zhen Wei is the county magistrate of Changyi County, and he is not "qualified" to participate in the virtuous meeting summoned at the palace on the fifteenth day of each month, so he doesn't know Liu He so well.

"His Royal Highness is different from the previous Highness, he treats the servants and hired workers in the palace very kindly, and he is not like a person who does not know the importance of making such a big disturbance, I am afraid it is not a whim."

Chen Xiu and Zhen Wei are still very knowledgeable, and they know that there are some things that can't be said further, so the gossip will stop here, because if you talk about it further, I'm afraid it will be easy to tell the truth.

"That's it, these are all things that the officials who are more than two thousand stones and two thousand stones should think about, you and I just need to do the things at hand."

"Exactly!"

The two played haha for a while before they began to talk about today's topic.
