Chapter 820 Release him immediately
"Wu...Wu Desi? Oh my god!"
The moment the officer who stopped Chai Yan saw the badge, he almost fell to the ground.
"Where is Zhang Peigu?" Chai Yan spoke very arrogantly.
When the officer saw him calling Zhang Tongzhi by his name, how could he dare to doubt his identity? He pointed at the door and said tremblingly: "Inside...inside..."
Chai Yan said arrogantly: "Go and tell him immediately that Wude Secretary Chai Yan has come to settle a score with him!"
The officer was stunned. His first reaction was that Zhang Tongzhi had committed something and someone from Wude Division had come to arrest him.
"Yes, yes...yes, sir..."
Then, the officer turned around and ran inside.
After the officer left, Chai Yan looked back at Cheng Jiu, and then walked into the government office as if strolling.
At this time, the other officers on duty had already seen that the situation was bad and hid far away, for fear of getting in his eyes and causing trouble to themselves.
After Chai Yan entered the door and walked for a while, several officials in a hurry appeared in front of him.
Chai Yan recognized the fat official walking in the front at a glance. He was Zhang Peigu Zhang Tongzhi who succeeded Lang Xiong in managing Yaozhou affairs after his fall.
The two sides met each other, one speeding up and trotting, the other walking leisurely, and soon they stood together.
"I didn't know that when Mr. Chai came, I was disappointed to see him from afar!"
Zhang Peigu took the lead in saluting with his hands raised, and several unfamiliar officials around him also followed suit.
Chai Yan smiled coldly and said in a neutral tone: "Zhang Peigu, you are getting more and more courageous, and you are almost catching up with your proud figure!"
"Why did Mr. Chai say this? Your Majesty... Your Majesty... No, no, no... I don't understand..."
Zhang Peigu suddenly looked stunned, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. He had no idea that he had offended Chai Yan in any way.
"I don't understand? I don't understand why you are stuttering?" Chai Yan asked with a sullen face.
"No, no, no..." Zhang Peigu's nervous heartbeat accelerated and he couldn't help but swallowed.
Several officials around him also lowered their heads, looking at their noses and hearts, not daring to make a sound.
Suddenly, Chai Yan's tone changed and he said slightly exaggeratedly: "Master Zhang, you have lost weight!"
Zhang Peigu didn't dare to answer. He was confused by Chai Yan. He said he was fat in the last sentence, but why did he say he was thin in the next sentence?
In fact, Chai Yan was telling the truth. Compared with the last time he saw Zhang Peigu, he was indeed obviously thinner now.
"Is it because I have worked so hard and racked my brains to please His Highness the Wise King that I am too tired and too nervous?" Chai Yan said.
Zhang Peigu was promoted to the position of Fifth-Rank Tongzhi, so he was certainly not a fool. As soon as he heard Chai Yan's words, he quickly figured out the hidden meaning.
Chai Yan was sarcastically trying to curry favor with the wise king, so he dared not take him seriously! Zhang Peigu thought to himself.
After Zhang Peigu turned pale with shock, his face was full of grievance: "I really don't know where I offended Mr. Chai, I hope Mr. Chai will make it clear!"
Chai Yan pretended to be annoyed. After his chest rose and fell a few times, he asked in a deep voice: "Master Zhang, may I ask you why you captured my people?"
"Ah?" Zhang Peigu was stunned, with a confused look on his face.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Peigu turned to look at the officials beside him and asked with his eyes what was going on.
The officials around him also shook their heads hurriedly, their movements were quite consistent, and their expressions were more confused than the last.
Chai Yangao frowned and asked, "You don't know?"
Zhang Peigu immediately shook his head and asked: "Sir Chai, who is the person you are talking about? Tell me, and I will immediately send someone to the prison to find out. If your person is really arrested by mistake, please tell me."
They must be punished severely!"
The officials around Zhang Peigu nodded in unison again, and the scene suddenly became funny.
This scene made Chai Yan almost laugh, but he still controlled his expression and asked: "You want me to say it here?"
"Ah, no no... Mr. Chai, please come in!" Zhang Peigu immediately moved out of the way and asked diligently.
But in fact, Zhang Peigu was complaining in his heart, am I the one who wants to speak here? Is it you?
Accompanied by Zhang Peigu, Chai Yan came to the flower hall. As soon as he sat down, someone brought tea and cakes to him.
Chai Yan took a sip of tea and then said: "Master Zhang, find someone to get all the portraits of wanted criminals recently."
Zhang Peigu hurriedly obeyed and ordered someone to bring a tall stack of official documents and portraits of sea arresters.
"Secretary Chai, here are the official documents and portraits of sea arrests in the past three months. Please take a look at them!" Zhang Peigu said carefully.
Chai Yan said displeased: "Are you kidding me? Who asked you to bring such a thick pile? One month... no, the last half month will be enough!"
"Yes...the lower official is stupid..."
Zhang Peigu blamed himself repeatedly, and then he and others sorted out the official documents from the sea arrests that had lasted for half a month.
"Sir Chai, these are for half a month, please take a look!" Zhang Peigu is fat and sweats easily when he moves. At this time, there are a lot of sweat beads on his forehead.
Chai Yan took it unceremoniously, then crossed his legs and looked through the pages one by one...
It didn't take long for Chai Yan to pick out two of these portraits.
"See clearly, these two are my people...here, this one was arrested by you just a few days ago...tuktuktuk..."
Chai Yan said while poking at one of the portraits with his finger.
Zhang Peigu hurriedly looked at the name under the portrait and muttered in a low voice: "Ge Hong, a fugitive..."
With that said, Zhang Peigu and the officials in the hall looked at Chai Yan with doubts, hoping to hear his explanation.
Chai Yan did not explain at all, but asked confidently: "What happened to the fugitive? Can't the fugitive be my person?"
Zhang Peigu bravely pointed to Ge Hong's Haiping document and said: "Chai Si, look at it. This man was rescued by his accomplices on the way to exile, so he escaped..."
"Stop it!" Chai Yan suddenly interrupted Zhang Peigu, and then said impatiently: "I say Mr. Zhang, can you stop being so rigid! Let me ask you, where am I from... Wude
Is that right?”
Zhang Peigu nodded quickly.
"Let me ask you again, if local officials are corrupt, bend the law, pay bribes and accept bribes, who should be responsible for arresting them?" Chai Yan asked again.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Peigu and several other officials felt a little guilty. When it comes to giving and receiving bribes, no one here is clean!
"Of course...of course it is an official from the Wude Department like Secretary Chai who will be responsible for the arrest..." Zhang Peigudui said with a smile.
Chai Yan nodded in response and said: "That's right! Then let me ask you again, how did our Wude Division learn about the evidence that local officials were corrupt, perverted the law, and offered and accepted bribes?"
"Nature is made of..."
Zhang Peigu got stuck in the middle of a sentence. Now he finally understood what Chai Yan wanted to express after going in such a big circle!
"Sir Chai...are you saying that these...two people are...your secret spies?" Zhang Peigu stuttered again.
Already.
Chai Yan glanced sideways at Zhang Peigu and said coldly: "Master Zhang, you finally understand..."
Zhang Peigu came back to his senses and suddenly shouted to an official in the hall: "Take the portrait and go to the prison quickly and let him go. Let him go immediately!"
