"Here, keep your dog's eyes open and take a good look!"

"You thief who deceives the king, are you worthy of me?!"

Seeing this familiar paper, Guo Cai was instantly stunned.

He shook his hands and picked up the paper.

When I saw the above content, I instantly shuddered.

All of the five sheets of paper were dictated by him.

Served as the commander of Qinghe County. ”

At the beginning of his tenure, he received 3,000 silver tickets from the local government and awarded him hundreds of acres of land from more than a dozen villagers.

When he was promoted to the prefect of Yangzhou, he used his power to impeach three prefects who had a personal vendetta, and secretly ordered people to poison them and poison them to death on the way to exile at the border pass.

When he was promoted to governor of Jiangbei......

looked at all the bad deeds since he became an official, all of them were clearly recorded on paper.

Guo Cai was frightened and frightened, and his face was full of disbelief: "This ...... What's going on?! ”

"These confessions, I obviously confessed to the two adults of black and white impermanence!"

"It should stay in the underworld, how can it appear in the yang?!"

Just when Guo Cai was stunned, he suddenly fixed his eyes.

Several figures walked out of the screen behind Emperor Yongle.

Except for the prince he is more familiar with.

There were three women standing beside him, one in black and one in white......

Isn't it the black and white impermanence that just interrogated himself?!

In addition, there is the unlucky female ghost who was torn to shreds and thrown into the oil pan to be fried.

At this moment, he is also standing in front of himself.

"Black and white impermanence?"

"You ...... Why are you here?! ”

Looking at Guo Cai's bewildered appearance, the Kraken was directly amused and laughed out loud.

Yuanling, who has always been cold on weekdays, can't help but laugh at this time.

"Lord Guo, this broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, where does the black and white impermanence come from?"

"Eighty percent of you did bad things, so you are afraid of ghosts."

Guo Cai's pupils shrank suddenly, and a trace of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

He finally reacted

I've been fooled!

was deceived by a few little women.

confessed to all the crimes he had committed in his life.

was stripped of a simple ploy, and there were no bottoms left.

"Fuck ......"

Guo Cai was frightened, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

The originally frightened face gradually became hideous and distorted, and his eyes revealed a thick sense of ruthlessness.

"Lu Yuan, you dare to set up a trap to harm Lao Tzu......"

"Lao Tzu fought with you!"

Guo Cai's eyes were red, like an angry beast, desperate to pounce on Lu Yuan.

"Bold!"

Zhanhong and Yuan Zhen's eyes widened angrily, and they subconsciously drew their knives out of their sheaths and wanted to step forward to escort them.

The prince was attacked, but it was nothing.

But if Your Majesty is affected by this madman.

As personal guards, they will not escape the blame for their deaths.

"It doesn't matter."

Emperor Yongle smiled and waved his hand.

Because at this time, Lu Yuanzheng stood with his arms folded with a smile, looking at Guo Cai with a sympathetic look like a retarded eye.

Every time a grandchild shows this kind of expression, it means that everything is under control.

Sure enough.

watched Guo Cai pounce in front of Lu Yuan like a mad dog.

Lingju, Lingling, and Liu Ninglu were all indifferent, as if they didn't bother to make a move at all.

It was the Kraken who gave Lu Yuan some face, and waved his palm lightly, knocking Guo Cai to the ground.

Guo Cai's whole face turned the color of pig liver, and a touch of scarlet blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

He landed on his hands and feet, desperately trying to get up.

Yuan Zhen waved his hand, and the four Qing Cangwei rushed forward, and the sharp embroidered spring knife was unsheathed and placed on Guo Cai's neck, pushing him to his knees, unable to move.

"Sinner Guo Cai, still don't know the crime?!"

Emperor Yongle was condescending, glaring angrily, and shouted, "You received the grace of the imperial court and gave the Jiangbei Political Secretary, and you should have fulfilled your duties and protected the territory and the people. ”

"But you have failed the grace of God, bent the law for personal gain, abused your power, coveted silver taels, and slaughtered the faithful!"

"A corrupt official like you, I will never spare it!"

"Listen to the order!"

"Take off his black veil, strip off his official robe!"

Looking at Emperor Yongle's domineering appearance with angry eyes, the Kraken couldn't help but show a light of worship.

I didn't expect this old man to be kind and angry on weekdays, just like the old man next door.

But when it comes to things, it is like a changed person in an instant, domineering and majestic.

Is this the charm that is unique to old men?

Lu Yuan smiled, too surprised.

Emperor Yongle's reaction at this time was basically exactly the same as he imagined.

His own emperor, although he is not as rigid and heroic as Hong Wuye, is bloodthirsty and murderous.

But there is absolutely zero tolerance for corrupt officials and cool officials.

Plus this place, too sensitive.

Where is this?

Yangzhou!

Just a few short decades ago.

Yang Xian, who was the prefect of Yangzhou at the time, was stripped of his skin by Hong Wuye for bullying the monarch and strictly enforcing the law.

In just a few decades, Yangzhou has produced another corrupt official.

Moreover, this Guo Cai is definitely worse than Yang Xian in the past.

At the beginning, Lieqian had just established the country, and Yangzhou was devastated due to years of war.

In the once prosperous Yangzhou City, there are only a dozen families left.

In troubled times, it has been the same since ancient times.

Although Yang Xian is a cool official, he did make Yangzhou fully restored in just three years, and the people prospered, regaining its former glory.

His ability and talent, naturally, there is no need to question.

As for the fact that he lost power and was killed, to a greater extent, it was because of the scourge of party strife.

However, Guo Cai is different.

What Guo Cai inherited was a prosperous and rich Yangzhou city.

However, he still strictly enforces the law, embezzles money and accepts bribes, uses his power privately, and kills innocents indiscriminately.

Heaven will not tolerate the actions of such wicked people.

It is clearly devouring the hearts of the people of the Lieqian Dynasty!

If you don't kill, what's more!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty spares your life!"

Guo Cai's face changed suddenly, and he said in a trembling voice, "The villain was forced by Lord Li to do this!" ”

"It's all Lord Li who instructed the villain!"

"Huh?"

Emperor Yongle frowned slightly, "Which Lord Li?" ”

"It's the Governor of Liangjiang, Lord Li Guan!"

In order to survive, Guo Cai was already in a panic, and directly poured beans into a bamboo tube and said everything.

"When the villain first arrived on the Liangjiang River, Lord Li Guan sent someone to find me and asked me to act according to his orders from now on, otherwise I would not be able to make this county order."

"Over the years, half of every tael of silver that the villain has been greedy for has gone into Lord Li's pocket!"

"When it comes to corruption in Liangjiang, Master Li is the mastermind!"

"Heh, Guo Cai, you are not small."

Emperor Yongle sneered, "They are all dying, and they dare to spew blood and slander the officials of the imperial court." ”

"You are a shameless person, and you are also worthy of being a political envoy of the third grade?"

Seeing this scene, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile slightly, looking at Liu Ninglu on the side.

"How, am I right?"

"Li Guan was in the Enke University Examination and entered the office with good results in the palace examination."

"Because he was born tall and talented, the emperor appreciated him very much, saying that he was the pillar of the country sent by God."

"Over the years, it was the emperor Chrysostom who promoted him all the way to the governor of Liangjiang."

"How could the emperor easily take down the courtiers he promoted and slap himself in the face?"

Liu Ninglu nodded thoughtfully, "The prince is really far-sighted. ”

"Then what should we do?"

"Wait."

Lu Yuan smiled lightly, "The emperor is so smart, he can be called the Holy Lord Mingjun. ”

"A Guo Cai's words may not make him believe it"

"But if all the officials we take down along the way, they will point the finger at Li Guan."

"If the emperor appreciates him, how can he not think about it?"

"At that time, we will take the opportunity to bring out that evidence."

"I will teach him Li Guan, and he will never recover!"

……

While Lu Yuan was speaking, Gu Shiqing had already summed up thirteen felonies from his confession and read them out one by one.

"Heh, he is corrupt and perverts the law, bullying the king and harming the people, what an all-round corrupt official."

Emperor Yongle smiled coldly and said sharply: "Listen to the order!" ”

"Jiangbei political envoy Guo Cai, the crime is extremely heinous, and the crime is unforgivable!"

"Tomorrow afternoon, parade through the streets, and make a decision!

"Push down, take prisoner!"

"No!"

Guo Cai's face changed suddenly, and he shouted in shock, "The emperor spares his life, spares his life!" ”

But the two Qing Cangwei directly dragged him down, and didn't give him a chance to quibble at all.

In the early morning of the next day, Emperor Yongle led Lu Yuan and others to leave Yangzhou, and went straight to Songjiang Mansion for the next stop.

Under Lu Yuan's recommendation, the important mission of supervising and beheading was handed over to Yang Zilong.

At noon, a prisoner car slowly drove out of the official residence.

The one in the car is Guo Cai!

When the people along the street saw this, they were all stunned.

"This ...... Isn't this Lord Guo?! ”

"How did you end up like this?"

Yang Zilong stood at the front of the queue and said loudly, "Fellow villagers, there is no need to be surprised. ”

"Guo Cai, the former political envoy of Jiangbei, has injured and abused the people for many years, bullied the monarch, embezzled money for personal gain, and killed innocents indiscriminately."

"Now the saint has cut his official position and beheaded him to show the public, in order to comfort the father and elder of Yangzhou."

"Good!"

In the crowd, fierce applause broke out in an instant.

"This Guo Cai should have died a long time ago!"

"At the beginning, my father was working as a government servant, but he was charged with a trumped-up crime and died an unknown death."

"My father and him are obviously made a scapegoat by this dog official!"

"Our family has been in business for generations, honest and duty-bound, and has never paid a tael of taxes!"

"This Guo Cai slandered us for selling illicit salt, confiscated all my property, and sent my three sons to the border as slaves!"

"Dog officer, you have finally suffered from the retribution of the present world!"

"Emperor Shengming, Shengming!"

Rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, like a rainstorm, crackled and slapped on Guo Cai's body.

Many people were so happy that they were so excited that they cried with joy and shouted the emperor's sage.

Some talented people said with a smile, "Fellow villagers, the emperor is certainly a saint and a dictator. ”

"But Guo can confess his guilt and subdue to the wisdom of the prince."

"The prince of the world is the pillar of the Lieqian Dynasty!"

……

Guo Cai, the political envoy of Jiangbei, was dismissed from office and deprived of his post, and paraded through the streets to ask questions.

As soon as this matter came out, it instantly set off an uproar in the entire land of the two rivers.

Jinling, in the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion.

Li Guan looked anxious, pacing back and forth with his hands behind his back, restless.

And in front of him, there stood a dozen or so officials.

All of them are civil and military dignitaries above the four grades in the land of two rivers.

At the same time, these people are also all the henchmen of Li Guan's faction.

"Woe to you, woe to you......"

"The emperor's trip is really not good!"

Li Guan's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You say, what should I do now?" ”

"Your Excellency, you need not panic."

Zhang Xiu, the prefect of the Huiji Mansion, said, "Although Your Majesty beheaded Guo Cai, he did not have any edict against us. ”

"Perhaps, it's just that Guo Cai was too stupid and accidentally leaked the news."

"And that evidence, has it not been exposed?"

Li Guan smiled coldly, "Zhang Xiu, you don't know Your Majesty too well. ”

"Your Majesty treats people well on weekdays and never kills innocents indiscriminately."

"But once the evidence is found, the killing ring is no less than that of Hong Wuye."

"And Your Majesty is extremely calm, and can endure what ordinary people can't bear, and tolerate what ordinary people can't."

"He hasn't issued a holy decree now, and it's likely that he's afraid of startling the snake."

"Perhaps, those letters and lists in the south study have all fallen into the hands of His Majesty!"

Hearing this, the faces of everyone present instantly changed.

Those lists in the South Study have the names of all the people they are present.

If that evidence is really in the hands of the emperor......

Among all of you here, one counts as one, and no one can run.

"My lord, why don't we run away while the emperor is still far away from here?"

Lu Ziyi, the prefect of Luzhou, proposed, "The eyeliner found out that the emperor is on his way to Songjiang, and it will definitely be delayed for some time in Songjiang Mansion." ”

"Taking this opportunity, let's take our family and gold and silver to sail south, isn't it like a fish like the sea, and a bird goes to the sky?"

"Naive."

Li Guan said coldly, "You don't understand Your Majesty at all!" ”

"Who is Your Majesty?"

"Whoever he wants to kill, even if it is the end of the earth, will definitely catch him."

"How about Tatar? How about Varat? What about Uliangha? ”

"If we stay here, we may be able to pay for our crimes with just one life."

"If you run away and are caught by Your Majesty, you will be the Nine Clans of Zhulian!"

Everyone present fell silent, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.

After a long time, Li Guan sighed and said, "That's it." ”

"The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, and wait and see how the times change."

"Lu Ziyi, you immediately ride a fast horse and rush to Songjiang Mansion in the starry night."

"Tell Emperor Wu Kang that it is coming, and that this trip is not good."

"Let him be prepared to destroy all evidence that may be threatening."

"If there is the slightest negligence, then Guo Cai will be his fate!"

……

Matsue Funai.

After listening to the urgent report sent by Lu Ziyi overnight.

Wu Kang was like an ant on a hot pot in an instant, anxious and sad.

"It's over, it's over, it's over......"

"Originally, I heard that Guo Cai was beheaded, and I was about to ask Master Li for instructions on what to do."

"I didn't expect that the emperor would come directly at me!"

"From Yangzhou to Songjiang, passing through the land of Sanzhou, it is 800 miles away."

"The emperor turned a blind eye to these three states and went straight to my Songjiang......"

"Surely you've got my grip on it!"

"I'm going to die!" (End of chapter)
