Datang: Integrate three times the combat power of Lv Bu at the beginning

clang!clang!clang……

Fighting close to each other, the flames blazed.

Li Chengqian held a horizontal knife in one hand, and his dance was watertight, like a vast sea, stretching endlessly.

In just one round, three black-clothed men with different heads were beheaded by him.

The people in black around looked at Li Chengqian in the encirclement, feeling fearful and horrified.

This strength is too astonishing.

Their fighting power, they themselves know in their hearts, although they are not first-class masters, their strength is considered top-notch.

In the territory of Henan, there are few opponents.

But now, he was forced to such a situation by Li Chengqian alone.

Beside them, the accomplices who fought against Xue Rengui were not having a good time either.

Although Xue Rengui was not as perverted as Li Chengqian, he still had two deaths and one injury in three rounds, an astonishing record.

"That's it?" Li Chengqian glanced at them contemptuously, "Is this the capital for you to show off your might in front of me?"

The leading man in black felt unwilling, and said in a deep voice: "Go on! Go all out, don't show mercy."

Whoosh!

He took the lead, shouted loudly, and turned into a black shadow, rushing towards Li Chengqian.

In just a moment, the man in black was already in front of Li Chengqian.

He stopped abruptly, and the dagger in his right hand, like a poisonous snake ejected from a bush, bit Li Chengqian fiercely with its sharp fangs exposed.

Li Chengqian stood like a pine, motionless, his eyes fixed on the attack trajectory of the man in black.

With a slight lift of the horizontal knife in his hand, he directly stopped the short knife that was still galloping in mid-air.

block!

When the swords met, the huge momentum made the man in black's arm numb.

At this moment, his eyes were dull, and there was a storm in his heart.

"How...how is this possible?" The man in black murmured, "My attack was intercepted."

He had been a killer all his life, but this was the first time he encountered this scene.

It's not that he has never met a strong opponent, but the gap between him and Li Chengqian is like a gap that cannot be bridged.

Although the man in black was shocked, Li Chengqian would not give him time to think.

The moment he blocked his attack, the horizontal knife in Li Chengqian's hand had already turned around.

Slashed towards the neck of the man in black.

puff……

The moment the blade slashed across, blood spurted out along his neck.

dang...

The dagger in the hand of the man in black fell to the ground.

He clasped his hands tightly, the wound on his neck, his eyes were full of despair and unwillingness.

In the second round of fighting with Li Chengqian, the man in black had blood spattered for five steps and died.

The rest of the men in black were all terrified, it happened so suddenly.

However, in just a short moment, the two leaders of the team had become Li Chengqian's dead souls.

Just when they were terrified.

Li Chengqian had already turned into a ray of white light, charging towards them.

He said that no one can leave alive today.

Li Chengqian is like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, cutting through the mess quickly, only for a while.

The dozen or so men in black who besieged him fell to the ground one after another, dying tragically in the dark alley.

Soon...

The battle on Xue Rengui's side has also ended, leaving no one alive.

At the same time, under the leadership of Xu Yingrui, the Songzhou Army arrived late.

Xu Yingrui's official rank is Shaowu Colonel of the sixth rank. Although his official position is low, he is already the biggest general in the Songzhou Army.

Among the generals of the Songzhou Army, he was the only one who was innocent.

It's just because he has no background, no backing, and he climbed up little by little relying on his own merits.

Li Chengqian specially ordered him to be the commander-in-chief of the Songzhou Army, that is, the acting commander-in-chief.

If he performed extremely well during the assessment period, then Li Chengqian would make an exception and promote him as the commander of the Songzhou Army.

"His Royal Highness, are you okay?" Xu Yingrui ran to Li Chengqian and asked in concern.

Li Chengqian shook his head, and said lightly: "It's okay, just clean up here, and check their identities by the way."

Xu Yingrui cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

into the night...

The officials in Songzhou City, who were guilty, wrote down their evidence.

There are many people who commit heinous crimes and commit suicide by hanging white damasks.

Those who did not have the courage were all dragged outside Songzhou City by Li Chengqian and beheaded.

There are dozens of officials, large and small, in the whole city, and less than 15 of them survived in the end.

This is the sorrow of Datang and the misfortune of the people of Songzhou.

The next day...

Wang Xuance rushed to Songzhou City, accompanied by Su Dingfang.

The two of them came first, and the large force escorted the grain and grass, and they had already rushed to Caozhou, Songzhou, Bozhou and Xuzhou.

Disaster relief and arrest operations were carried out almost simultaneously.

When the four states stabilized.

In these four states, officials and generals, large and small, have arrested nearly 500 people.

The scandal dug out by the way is simply shocking and unbelievable.

In the local bureaucracy system of the Tang Dynasty, it was so corrupt and dirty.

Five hundred officials and generals, what a number.

The political framework of the four states almost collapsed, and nearly two-thirds of the officials were taken down.

Anyone who takes the initiative to commit a crime will be punished with a third class and will not be tolerated.

Passive criminals, according to the circumstances, dismissed or imprisoned.

Li Chengqian didn't rub the sand in his eyes, he would rather catch all the corrupt officials in these four states.

And never leave any of them, outlaws.

Li Chengqian was in Songzhou City, in the Governor's Mansion, looking at the mountain of files, his heart ached.

Not only that, but also letters pleading for these people, stuffed into several baskets.

Li Chengqian didn't look at it, and didn't bother to look at it, so he burned it all up.

There are a few people, even the Li family, Li Shimin's relatives, and his distant cousins.

But this does not prevent Li Chengqian from writing a letter to them, chopping the characters.

If you fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside. If you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world.

The trip to Henan Road was probably the most beheaded officials in history.

So far, most of the disaster relief work has been completed, and the rest is the reconstruction of the disaster area.

But Li Chengqian didn't leave, because the mastermind behind the scenes was about to be dug out by him.

Although he acted decisively, he emphasized evidence.

Without conclusive evidence, Li Chengqian would not judge anyone at will.

But will never let go, any one, corrupt officials.

Chapter 277 The Corruption of Officials Is the Root Cause of Our Great Tang's Destruction

Chang'an City...

palace...

Li Shimin was in the court hall, looking at the disaster relief letter sent back by Li Chengqian.

Civil and military officials, standing in the court hall, have different thoughts.

Li Chengqian did a good job in disaster relief and won the hearts of the people. This matter has already been reported back to the capital.

At the same time, they also knew about Li Chengqian's killing spree in Henan Province.

More than 500 officials who were corrupt and broke the law were abruptly executed by him, and more than 400 people were executed on the spot.

This incident shocked the government and the public, and caused an uproar in the world.

In the court, there were many people who wrote letters of exoneration to Li Chengqian, but he did not give face to anyone.

No matter the kings and grandchildren or the local gentry, no one escaped the law.

boom!

Li Shimin's eyes were scarlet, and he was furious. He patted the letter on the case and said angrily: "There is no law, it is lawless!"

"The court's disaster relief money and food were all stolen by these moths. If it weren't for Chengqian, the victims of the disaster would be wiped out by them as mobs. I don't know."

In Henan Province, the four disaster-stricken states, the deeds of corrupt officials are shocking.

Those who are corrupt, those who pervert the law, those who buy and sell officials, those who slaughter common people, those who rape disaster girls, those who refine human flesh pills...

Countless crimes, heinous and heinous.

Pei Ji stood in the hall trembling.

Changsun Wuji was also uncomfortable. He was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and was in charge of the appointment and removal of civil officials in the world.

He is the first person responsible for so many corrupt officials in the four states of Henan Province.

Li Shimin looked at him and scolded: "Changsun Wuji, you are so poor, how did you become a minister! How did you become a minister of officials, all the officials in the world are dead, maybe you don't even know."

"More than 800 officials, more than 500 corrupt officials, you tell me... how to explain to the people of the world, how to explain to the ancestors."

He roared, and threw the letter in his hand onto Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji hastily stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty calm down, I am guilty of my crime."

In fact, he is also very wronged, he has been the official secretary for less than a year.

The former Minister of the Ministry of Officials was Hou Junji, who was beheaded by Li Chengqian in Gaochang.

The title of Shangshu was passed on to him.

The right servant of Shangshu shot Feng Deyi, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks, His Royal Highness, this matter is too extreme."

"Now my Tang Dynasty is at the time of employing people, but the officials of the four states of Henan Province have been beheaded by His Royal Highness. Will the hearts of these local officials be chilled?"

"Some officials are not guilty of death, but His Royal Highness insists on adding a third class to the crime and beheading them all. The veteran thinks that this has a bad influence and damages His Majesty's reputation through the ages."

Feng Deyi's last words touched Li Shimin's heart.

Li Chengqian is good at everything, but when he does things, he only recognizes the truth, does not recognize people, and never shows mercy to anyone.

He killed so many officials in the four states of Henan Province, obviously to rectify the administration of officials.

But it also shows that the emperor Li Shimin is incompetent and incapable of governing the country.

Li Shimin thought to himself: "I'm not afraid of you killing corrupt officials, but you don't need to make such a big show of it, so that everyone in the world knows it. Where will I put my face?"
