79. Chapter 79
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said! This is the land of Fengli County, which is given to Madulong, and has full authority over all government affairs of Fengli County, and all government officials under the jurisdiction of Fengli County are under its full control, and enjoy the right to cut first and then play in their fiefdoms, Qin here!"
Above the hall, Du Long read out aloud the holy decree issued by the emperor himself, and under the hall, the face of Qian Jinlong, the county guard who was still full of fat and red, instantly turned pale.
Since the founding of the Haotian Empire, there has been a precedent for a lord to rule a fief with full authority, and he understands very well the meaning of the so-called full power, that is to say, from now on, he, the emperor of the county and city far away from the emperor of the sky, can only obey the rebuke of this new lord!
What frightened him the most was the last one of the decrees—cut first and then play!
In this way, the new lord sitting in the hall immediately became a terrifying existence that could take his life at any time, and he could feel the new lord's dissatisfaction with him from beginning to end, do you think he could not be horrified?!
"Ladies and gentlemen, have you heard the contents of the Emperor's decree clearly?!What are your opinions?!" Du Long looked condescendingly at the group of people kneeling and trembling below, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly to reveal a playful smile.
"Don't dare, don't dare! I will definitely obey the reprimand of the concubine in the future!" "Where did the corrupt officials and corrupt officials below dare to have any objection to the emperor's will, their heads all pointed like chickens pecking rice.
"Very good!" Du Long nodded in satisfaction, and then shouted with a gaze: "Fu Bo!"
"The subordinates are here!" In the crowd, Fu Bo reacted smartly and reacted that he was shouting at himself, and reflexively responded loudly, looking at Du Long with a look of admiration on his face, and he had already secretly decided in his heart that he would follow the little young master with an iron heart in the future!
"You immediately take someone to take over the financial department of the government office, and be sure to sort out the financial revenue and expenditure situation within half an hour!" Du Long commanded in a deep voice.
"Subordinates obey!" Fu Bo respectfully received the order, and then went out with his dozen men.
"Come on, tie up the former county guard Qian Jinlong and all the Fengli County officials to me!" On both sides of the lobby, after arranging for people to block the county government office, they immediately led dozens of people back to separate the two generals on both sides, and immediately unceremoniously sent people to tie up all the things that should be tied.
"Your Royal Highness, Princess, I don't know what crime we have committed, why did you tie us all up?!" Qian Fatty's face turned pale, but he still pretended to be calm and asked loudly.
"Shut up Lao Tzu! Otherwise, be careful that I will be tortured! Someone come, except for the county guard Qian Jinlong, bring all the other officials down for interrogation separately!" Du Long completely ignored the protest of the county guard Qian Fat Man, and continued to give the latest instructions.
Soon, a wolf-like soldier came up and took down a group of tied officials, and Du Long continued: "Sun Lin!"
With a bang, Sun Lin, who was wearing battle armor, walked to the front of the hall with excitement on his face, knelt down on one knee and said loudly: "The last general!"
"You lead the royal guards and the Li family generals to each fifty, go and seal off the city lord's mansion for me, no one is allowed to enter and leave at will, all the family guards in the palace are gathered for me, and they are not allowed to move around at will, if there is any disobedience, they will be killed!" Du Long took out an arrow from the desk and threw it down.
"The last general will take the order!" After Sun Lin received the order loudly, he picked up the arrow and directly gathered the people and horses!
"Old horse!"
"The last general!" In the crowd, Lao Ma, who was born in martial arts, never thought that he would have his own share on this occasion, and he was nervous for a while, and he actually regarded himself as a general, and almost didn't make Du Long, who was serious in the hall, laugh.
"You take a few generals out of the gate of the mansion and invite a group of people from Fengli County to come in and watch the trial of the case!" Du Long forced a smile and explained his meaning loudly.
"The last general will take the order!" Lao Ma could only make a mistake at the moment, and after answering the question, he took a few Du family generals out of the mansion, and after a while, he brought in a group of people from the county outside the mansion.
There were already many people watching the arrival of the two teams of elite divisions, so Lao Ma invited nearly 100 people into the courtyard outside the mansion hall with almost no effort.
"Fellow villagers, fathers and elders! I am Du Long, the newly appointed lord of Fengli County! Have you seen it? What is tied to the hall is the Fengli County Shouqian Jinlong! The master of the clan has made a private visit all the way and learned that Qian Jinlong has embezzled and accepted bribes, supported those sinners who illegally mined gold mines, and also disregarded the lives of the people under his rule, and arbitrarily collected taxes, resulting in Fengli County having a poor life for so many years!"
"Today, the master of the power will try this corrupt official and corrupt official, and Fengli County will be a blue sky! If you have any grievances, you can tell them one by one, and the master of the ability will definitely seek justice for everyone!"
Du Longgao stood on the main seat and shouted loudly to the people outside the hall, those county people looked at the fat man tied up in the hall in disbelief, and everyone recognized that it was really the damn county guard Qian Fat!
However, for many years, although many people have shown their intentions, no one dares to be the bird that comes out, what happened today is too sudden, they can't believe that all this is true!
"Lord Lord!" Just when Du Long wanted to continue to say two words to encourage the people below, an older man who looked very learned spoke loudly, and he took the lead, Du Long immediately smiled, as long as someone dared to speak, everything would be easy.
"Do you have any questions, old man?!" replied Du Long in the most amiable tone possible, obviously afraid that being too serious would scare people into speaking.
"There are some things that the grass people don't understand in their hearts, and I ask the lord to solve their doubts, as far as the old man knows! The lord of the Haotian Empire does not control the power of the imperial officials in his fiefdom!" the old scholar directly said the doubts in his heart.
"Haha! The old gentleman asked well! First of all, in addition to being the lord of Fengli County, I am also the lord of the current dynasty! This is Her Royal Highness Princess Huofeng next to me! The emperor gave Fengli County to her most beloved Princess Huofeng as a dowry, and also took over this fiefdom with full authority to take over this fiefdom, and also gave the master the power to cut first and then play!"
After listening to Du Long's words, the old man's eyes immediately lit up, and then sorrow came to him, and he fell to the ground on the spot and cried bitterly: "Woo! His Majesty the Emperor of the Haotian Empire has not forgotten our land! The sky has opened its eyes! The big guy quickly kneels down and meets Her Royal Highness the Fire Phoenix Princess and her Lord Du Juma!"
As soon as he shouted like this, he heard a commotion, and the people in the courtyard outside the hall immediately knelt down, and then shouted: "Meet Her Royal Highness the Princess, meet the Lord of the Horse!"
"Your Royal Highness, Lordship, you have to call the shots for us poor people of Fengli County!" the old man cried out with tears in his eyes.
How could Du Long sit still, he immediately got up and left the case, and walked quickly outside the hall to help everyone get up, but all the people of Fengli County, including the old man, knelt on the ground, and looked at him with eager eyes.
"Everyone, rest assured! If I don't help you redress your grievances this time, I will definitely not leave Fengli County! Everyone should get up and slowly tell their grievances, so that the master of power can make decisions for you!" Du Long could only promise loudly.
With his promise, the people who knelt down on the ground stood up one after another under the leadership of the old man, and then listened to the old man tell him about the grievances that had happened to him!
Du Long had already ordered Lao Ma to record on the side, although the emperor gave him the power to cut first and then play, he could kill the guilty first, but he had to have a reasonable excuse, after all, he had to play a reasonable reason after the killing!
It turned out that this old man's surname was the earliest master of the Fengli County Government, and no matter how poor the Fengli County was at that time, the people under his rule had at least three meals to eat!
At the beginning of Qian Jinlong's takeover of Fengli County, the life of the people under the rule of Fengli County began to be in a state of flux, those corrupt officials and corrupt officials only wanted to fill their pockets, Zhang Dian has always been decent, and was deeply loved by the people of Fengli County, he did not want to be with those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and was finally expelled from the county guard's office, and opened a private school in the county town for a living, and earned a little money to support his family by teaching local children!
Seeing that Fengli County was full of black fog, Zhang Dian had entered the capital several times to sue the corrupt officials of Fengli County for all kinds of bad deeds, but unfortunately, no matter how much he went to any yamen in the capital to complain, no one accepted it, and even if it was accepted, the black materials he handed over were all sunk into the sea, and there was no response!
Later, he learned that the county guard Qian Jinlong had the support of Fan De, the left minister, and he had always ignored the lord of Fengli County, and no one dared to accept it when he went to the capital to sue him!
After running the capital several times in a row to no avail, he could only come back disappointed and continue to teach in the private school, never thought that Qian Jinlong knew that he had done against him many times, and he had already held a grudge, not only sent someone to secretly smash the private school, but also kidnapped his daughter Zhang Lin'er, and his life and death are still unknown!
Zhang Dian, who had no way to sue, asked around about the whereabouts of his beloved daughter, and finally heard that after she was tainted by the damn Qian Jinlong, she was sold to the Blue Moon Empire as a slave and a prostitute!
Hearing the news, Zhang Dian vomited blood on the spot and fainted, and since then he has been sick in bed until a year later, and he has not slowly recovered, after the illness, Zhang Dian continued to inquire about his daughter's whereabouts, while teaching in Fengli County, he did not believe that His Majesty the Emperor really gave up the people of Fengli County, and wanted to open his eyes to see when the blue sky of Fengli County, which was covered by a black curtain, would return to Qingming!
Above the lobby, Zhang Dian sadly told the story that happened to him, which moved the listeners, and the listeners wept, and many of the people of Fengli County who surrounded him all cried bitterly, but in order not to disturb him to tell about his grievances, he forcibly suppressed the crying, and the scene made Du Long, a group of noble sons and daughters from the capital, all cry.
"It's so hateful! Such a corrupt official can't get away with his crimes!" Princess Huofeng, who was sitting upright in the lobby, had red eyes, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief from time to time, and shouted angrily.
Syllable!
Du Long's eyes were red, and there was a murderous intent in his eyes, he had never killed anyone, and at this moment, he looked at the fat man who was kneeling and trembling in the hall, and he really hated to cut him with a thousand knives.
"Qian Jinlong, do you have any objection to Zhang Dian's words?!" Du Long asked in a deep voice almost word for word.
Downstairs, the trembling fat shook suddenly, and Qian Jinlong cried bitterly and wailed: "Master Horse, Lord Lord! The lower official has been wronged! You must not believe the words of the chapter and the dian, his own daughter eloped with a wild man, but the charge was placed on the lower official, he was obviously spewing blood!"
"Hmph! You can rest assured! Since I have chosen to hold a public trial against you today, I will definitely find out the evidence!" Du Long was not surprised at all by the argument of the fat man, these old fritters who have been mixed in the officialdom for many years, if you don't come up with evidence to convict him, it is strange that he is willing to admit his guilt!
