Chapter 161: Burning Fire in Yuzhou (Part 2) Seeking the Moon
Song Zheng perked up and immediately walked over to take a look, but he couldn't help but be disappointed. In Xiao Xumi's realm, there were neatly placed many large jade tickets and a few spiritual treasures that were not suitable for Ximen Hong. Other than that, there were no
Something was missing, but the clues he hoped to get were not found.
Just when he was about to turn around and leave, his eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at several large jade tickets.
…
Everyone in the state government office was waiting cautiously outside the gate. Pedestrians coming and going from the surrounding streets saw these "gentlemen" who were usually aloof and haughty, now like quails in the cold wind, with their necks and hunched bodies, and they felt a sense of sadness in their hearts.
It was an indescribable pleasure that he actually recognized the new Mr. Song.
These officials in Yuzhou, under the leadership of Ximen Hong, had a very bad reputation among the people.
There was a sound of footsteps inside the yamen, and the officials outside immediately became nervous. Song Zheng walked out surrounded by people, looked at the officials, pointed at one of them and said, "Bring them here."
"Yes!" The soldiers pounced on him like wolves and tigers. The official was also a literary cultivator, but his level was not high. How could he be a match for a group of martial cultivators? He was trembling all over and was lifted in by Long Yiwei.
When he arrived in front of Song Zheng, he was already crying and knelt down: "Master Song... spare, spare my life!"
Song Zheng didn't expect it to be so easy, and asked coldly: "Puzhao, do you know your sin?"
"I know that I am guilty, please have mercy on me. If you want to ask me anything, I will tell you everything I know."
Song Zheng nodded. When he met a good person, it was easy to deal with it: "I want to ask you, why did you bribe Ximen Hong?"
"The lower official wants the position of mine supervisor in Liu County."
Song Zheng was stunned. Liu County is just a county under the jurisdiction of Yuzhou. A mine supervisor is worth four million yuan in jade?
Among those large jade tickets, four were put in recently, and the traces of the soul of the person who sent them were clear, and it was none other than Pu Zhao in front of him.
"Is this really just for this?"
"It's absolutely true." Seeing that he didn't seem to believe it, Pu Zhao's voice was filled with tears again: "I will never dare to hide it. The original mine supervisor of Liu County was killed ten days ago, and everyone was jealous of the vacant seat. Secretly,
For the event, I gave him four million as a gift, but I didn’t really know what to do. I heard that Zhou Chenqian, Su Fengtian and the others gave him as much as me."
Song Zheng touched his chin. A few days ago, he told the emperor that Yuzhou was rich in minerals and the sects of aristocratic families were often as wealthy as the country. Of course, he was trying to deceive the emperor. But what happened today really refreshed his understanding and made him understand
There is a new understanding of mineral oil and water.
With four million yuan in jade, you may not be able to buy a mine supervisor in a lower county!
"What is your relationship with Pu Shijia?"
Pu Zhao probably heard about Long Yiwei's plan to arrest Pu Shijia, so he quickly cleared up the relationship: "Sir, Xiaguan and he are only distant relatives. They have been in the fifth service and rarely interact with each other on weekdays.
Pu Shijia is a popular person in front of Ximen Hong. How can he see such a down-and-out person like Shangguan? If Xiaguan has any important relationship with him, he is just a mine supervisor in the lower county. If he says a word in front of Ximen Hong, it will be worse than
I still have to put these four million yuan in jade to good use."
Song Zheng thought about it and felt that it did make sense, so he said: "Go down and explain everything about the dirty deal between you and Ximen Hong. If you dare to hide it, I will punish you all over the house!"
Pu Zhao trembled: "Yes, I will never dare to hide anything."
After Pu Zhao was taken away, he told Shi Zhonghe: "Get paper and pen." He wrote down some names and gave them to Li Sanyan: "Bring all these people in."
Shi Zhonghe was confused, but Li Sanyan understood what the adult meant and went away with a bad smile.
Soon there was a cry of injustice outside the yamen gate. Those named by Song Zheng were all corrupt ministers who he found clues from the yamen official documents.
But when they went out to arrest people at this time, it seemed that Pu Zhao had turned them in. So while everyone was crying out for injustice, they also cursed Pu Zhao in their hearts. Pu Zhao was forced to become Mr. Song's "accomplice".
If Song Zheng needs someone to help with matters in Yuzhou, apart from Long Yiwei, Pu Zhao is now the most trustworthy.
Song Zheng interrogated these people one by one, and the evidence was conclusive. They protested several times, and then they all withered.
Song Zheng stroked his pen: Conquer the house!
Chang Shun looked at the side and was stunned. He knew at least 70% of the officials arrested by the Lord. They were all registered in the Longyi Guard. It was not that the Yuzhou Longyi Guard did not know that they were corrupt, but
The people above didn't say anything about it, so the people below won't be too troublesome.
But even Chang Shun didn't know about the other 30%. His Excellency found them all within a few hours. This ability impressed Old Long Yiwei Chang Shun.
After interrogating these people, Song Zheng calculated and found that it would not be a problem to collect several hundred million yuan to deal with the emperor. He was ready to stop there for the time being, but suddenly thought of something and ordered: "Go and call Mei Bingsi.
"
Mei Bingsi stood at the back of everyone in the state government yamen. He was a scribe in the yamen. His daily job was to sort out the documents submitted by the local government.
These copywriters are all finalized, and their work is not heavy and they have no sense of existence. Even an ordinary government servant has more money than him.
Therefore, when Mei Bingsi was called out, she was shocked: There was indeed nothing wrong with her.
He was quite magnanimous. When he came to Song Zheng, he performed formal formalities and did not kneel down: "I have seen Mr. Song."
Song Zheng nodded and asked: "I suddenly remembered something, so I asked you to ask. The Liu County Mine Supervisor was killed ten days ago. Has the case been cleared up? Why is there no final official document?"
Liu County is under Changhe County, and Mei Bingsi has always been responsible for the documents sent by Changhe County. He is very familiar with his business and immediately said: "Liu County Mine Supervisor Wang Ji'an was found dead in his concubine's bed ten days ago.
, the concubine and a nursing home martial artist disappeared, and sixty large jade notes from the Wang family also disappeared. The local people in Liuxian County suspected that the concubine and the nursing home had an affair, so they teamed up to kill Wang Ji'an, and then involved
The money absconded, but they never caught the criminal, and the case has remained open."
Song Zheng nodded, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can go down."
He thought for a while and ordered Changshun to go out: "Tell the others, don't slack off when doing your job with peace of mind, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless under the law."
"Yes." Chang Shun went out to the gate, gathered the remaining officials, and conveyed Master Song's oral instructions. The remaining officials were already trembling and responded one after another. Chang Shun then waved his hand and put them into the yamen.
Everyone goes on errands.
Song Zheng secretly observed that everyone was working hard and nodded with satisfaction. He had just arrived, so of course he had to establish his authority, otherwise these old yamen officials would definitely try their best to set up obstacles for himself.
Fortunately, all plots and means are powerless under the butcher's knife.
When Chang Shun came back, he said, "Go and have a look at Pu Shijia's house."
"yes."
He went to arrest Pu Shijia last night but failed. He had already ordered people to surround Pu Shijia's house. The family members who could not escape in time were imprisoned in the house and guarded in place.
After Song Zheng went in and took a look, he also shook his head. Pu Shijia was the chief arrester and was very experienced. He did not leave any clues at home. Chang Shun said at the side: "Pu Shijia is not a local, but he has served as an official in Yuzhou for dozens of years."
In 2000, he married a concubine with four wives locally, but he never had any children. So he ran away alone without any worries."
Song Zheng walked around this rather large house, but it can't be said that he gained nothing. At least he found traces of Pu Shijia's soul.
Passing by a small courtyard, there were several old plum trees planted in the yard, and two captains were guarding the door. A beautiful woman wanted to go out with a cold face, but was stopped by two captains.
Long Yiwei was not a good person. The two captains smiled evilly and looked at the mature woman's tall breasts and plump buttocks: "Going out? Hey, what's the matter with your men?"
You got it, and you thought you were a madam?"
The woman couldn't stand this look, her face flushed with anger, and she gritted her teeth and cursed: "What a reckless beast. When my master comes back, you will know how powerful he is and regret being so frivolous today!"
The two captains laughed evilly again, looked at each other and pushed forward together, using their bodies to lean against the woman, forcing her to step back with a blushing face: "Ma'am, why don't you go back, your master?
Don't think about it, if he doesn't come back, he will be dead."
Song Zheng happened to be passing by and frowned when he saw this scene.
Chang Shun could see that the master didn't like this kind of behavior, so he cursed: "Idiot, the sister of Zui Chunlou can't get rid of your evil fire? It's embarrassing here, so get back here."
The two captains were startled, and turned around to see Chang Shun and Song Zheng. They shrunk their necks and stood back dejectedly. But the woman was even more embarrassed. Chang Shun's words seemed to compare her with the woman from Zui Chun Tower.
Song Zheng glanced at her and left without stopping. The woman suddenly shouted from behind: "Look at your official robe, are you the new Song Zheng?"
Song Zheng stopped and nodded: "It's me."
The woman regained her composure and said with a cold and arrogant expression: "I am a woman, but I still want to advise you: Don't do anything impossible!"
Song Zheng frowned and asked, "Speak clearly."
The woman sneered and said: "My lord, your power seems to be overwhelming today, but you are still a local official. Compared to the nobles in the capital, your power today is only a matter of a word.
The water depth in Yuzhou is beyond the imagination of adults. If I were an adult, I would stop it. You have captured Ximenhong and got what you want. If you continue to investigate, you will be in trouble. You will regret it later.
Too late."
Chang Shun cursed angrily: "Where did you come from, crazy woman? Who do you think you are? You dare to talk nonsense about Master Song!"
Song Zheng just smiled and walked away.
Seeing that they didn't believe it, the woman sneered from behind and said: "A frog in the well. Do you think I am talking nonsense? You, Song Zheng, are powerful today, but how is it compared to Zhou Bangsen ten years ago? What was the result of his coming to Lingnan? The emperor decreed
, the car broke apart and died!”
Song Zheng stopped, and the woman said from behind: "Who do you think brought down Zhou Bangsen? Humph."
