Zuo Aoran glanced at Yang Xiao who was pleading, and thought in his heart: "This Yang Xiao has a deep foundation in Zhuo County. If he is let go, it will cause endless troubles and become a serious problem for me. Then only
…”
"Where did you transport all the money and food from the treasury?" Zuo Aoran asked.
Yang Qiang quickly replied: "It's in my warehouse at home. I'm willing to take you to retrieve it."
Zuo Aoran nodded, sighed, and then said: "I also want to spare your life, but your crime is too serious. If you don't kill him, the people will not be angry!" Yang Xiao was shocked when he heard this, and immediately started crying and begging for mercy.
.
Zuo Aoran ignored him and ordered Jiang Yiqu: "Drag him down and kill him!"
After a while, Jiang Yiqu came to Zuo Aoran with a bloody head. Zuo Aoran felt so happy. This was the sense of accomplishment of killing corrupt officials. Zuo Aoran was still thinking: "The Independent Commission Against Corruption of Hong Kong probably has
If you don’t handle corruption yourself, you’ll be guilty! Haha!”
"You..." Zuo Aoran pointed at the frightened little official who was lying on the ground, and was about to speak. The little official was so frightened that he hurriedly begged for mercy: "Sir, spare your life! I didn't take any money from the treasury."
A penny and a penny!" As he spoke, he kowtowed without listening, and the sound of "bang bang" kept coming. At this time, the little official's mental fear was on the verge of collapse.
"What are you talking about? Who said I want to kill you! The chief culprit has been killed. As for the other people, I will not hold them accountable. What you did in the past and what you are doing now, but from today on, everything must be done according to my rules.
Do you understand?" Zuo Aoran's words contained both grace and power.
The junior official was stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that the new adult would let him go and retain his position. He himself had embezzled a lot, as much as a few thousand taels. Wait.
After this burst of limelight, I ran away quickly. If I was found out, my life would be lost. The junior official knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, the prefect, for not killing me! I will definitely be the only one."
Your Majesty’s orders are obeyed!”
Zuo Aoran nodded with satisfaction, and then asked, "What's your name?" Seeing that the clerk was still kneeling on the ground, he added, "Stand up and answer."
"Thank you, sir." The clerk stood up and replied respectfully: "My name is Li Yong."
"Li Yong, go and notify the others and ask them to come to the lobby. I have something to say." Zuo Aoran ordered.
"Yes, little one, let's go right away." Li Yong responded.
Soon, about ten people came to the lobby. They didn't know what happened, so they asked each other about the people they knew. Anyone who had a good relationship with Li Yong asked Li Yong, but how could Li Yong dare to cause chaos without permission?
He just shook his head and said nothing. This made everyone vaguely feel that something big had happened.
In the midst of the commotion, Zuo Aoran and Jiang Yiqu came out.
The scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone's eyes first fell on Zuo Aoran who was standing in front. Apart from feeling a little strange, they had no other thoughts. But when everyone's eyes moved to Jiang Yiqu who was standing behind Zuo Aoran.
Everyone couldn't help but be surprised when he was wearing it, except for the surprise
In addition to Jiang Yiqu's majesty, everyone was more surprised by the object in Jiang Yiqu's hand. It was a human head. However, because the hair of the human head covered most of the face, no one recognized the identity of the human head. Of course,
Except for one person, that person is Li Yong.
"Who are you? Why are you in the government office? What are you holding in your hands?" A middle-aged man stood up and asked. It was obvious that this middle-aged man had considerable prestige among everyone.
Zuo Aoran did not answer him, but glanced at Jiang Yiqu who was standing aside. So Jiang Yiqu used his free hand to take out his official certificate and showed it to the middle-aged class leader. The middle-aged class leader was surprised at first, but when he saw clearly the official
After reading the above content, he immediately knelt down.
"The humble Gao Tanglong has met you, sir."
At this time, others felt a little confused, but since the prestigious Gao Tanglong knelt down, others followed suit.
"Everyone, please get up. No need to be polite," Zuo Aoran said.
"Thank you, Lord Prefect." Everyone said in unison.
Then Gao Tanglong stood on the steps in front of Zuo Aoran and shouted to everyone: "Brothers, this is the new governor sent by the imperial court."
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that the young man in front of them was actually the new governor.
Gao Tanglong felt a little excited in his heart, but also a little expectant. He was an upright man, and he had been very depressed working under the corrupt official named Yang for these years. He very much hoped that the new governor would be an upright and good official.
Gao Tanglong had been paying attention to the human head in Jiang Yiqu's hand, so he asked tactfully: "Sir, is this head...?"
Zuo Aoran signaled him to calm down, then looked at the crowd and raised his voice: "The first thing I want to tell you is that the former Zhuo County Prefect lost his treasury money and food because of embezzlement, and when I asked him, he actually
The person who wanted to murder me was killed by my guards on the spot, and this head belongs to Yang Xiao." Following Zuo Aoran's words, Jiang Yiqu took a step forward and raised the head high, exuding a fierce aura.
It makes people afraid to look directly.
Zuo Aoran glanced at the faces of these people one by one, and saw that everyone looked shocked. Except for a few people with different expressions, most of the other people's expressions and reactions were normal. Zuo Aoran remained silent.
I took note of those people.
"How...how could this happen?!" Gao Tanglong exclaimed.
"Will this prefect still lie to you? His murderers are still lying in the lobby. You take people to put them in cells." Zuo Aoran said.
Gao Tanglong immediately called a dozen people and ran into the lobby, only to see dozens of former prefect's confidants lying on the ground. The situation was indeed as Zuo Aoran said just now.
Gao Tanglong frowned. He never thought that the former prefect would be so crazy that he wanted to murder court officials! But sadly, he ended up with his body and head missing. At the same time, Gao Tanglong was a little frightened: "These are lying on the ground
The guys on the ground are all famous ruthless characters in Zhuo County, but they were actually defeated by the tall guard next to the prefect! And it was obvious that the tall guard did not use any weapons! What kind of thing was this?
What kind of martial arts!"
After being stunned for a moment, Gao Tanglong immediately ordered: "Tie these guys up and put them in a cell."
"Yes." Everyone agreed in unison, with a hint of excitement on their faces.
Everyone usually suffers from the cowardice of this group of scoundrels, and this time they can finally vent their anger.
Zuo Aoran and Jiang Yiqu were waiting in the lobby, and the clerk named Li Yong was standing aside. The scattered people outside the lobby did not disperse because they did not have Zuo Aoran's order. While Gaotang was escorting people to their cells, they
, Zuo Aoran asked Li Yong some information about Gao Tanglong.
According to what Li Yong said, combined with Gao Tanglong's previous performance, Zuo Aoran thought that Gao Tanglong should be trustworthy after careful analysis. Of course, Li Yong might tell lies, but Zuo Aoran did not think so.
Don't worry because these things are easily verified.
