After the salted fish is married

Liangzhou Liwei

The guards, who had experienced many battles, were easy to deal with a few yamen servants. After a while, they tied up a few yamen servants and came to the carriage.In front of the carriage, the girl and her family were weeping in each other's arms. Inside the carriage, Ji Song was looking at the evidence presented by the girl with a serious face.

Unexpectedly, the government in Liangzhou would be corrupted to such an extent, forcing good people into prostitution and encroaching on people's property... The most terrifying thing is that officials and officials protect each other.I thought that Liangzhou was close to the Chiling Army, and the officials here had to restrain themselves, but it turned out that I was naive.

The officialdom and the battlefield are two different worlds. On the battlefield, fighting openly and secretly can cost one's life at worst.But the sly dogs in the officialdom can't see or touch them, and once they get entangled, they don't know how they died.

It seems that there is no way to hand over the matter of raising ducks to the Liangzhou government. Not only that, most of the officials in Liangzhou have to be dismounted.

Ji Song's eyes shone coldly, he carefully folded up the evidence presented by the girl and put it in his bag with him.Then he raised his head and looked at Yan Xining: "A'Ning, you wait here, I will go to the city to meet the governor of Liangzhou."

If it was Ji Song before, he would think twice about whether to mobilize the army before taking action. Now Liangzhou is his fiefdom.In other words, he is the king of Liangzhou, and all officials in Liangzhou are appointed by him. Does he still fear a few civil servants?Even if they jumped the wall in a hurry, Ji Song and the others were not vegetarians.

Yan Xining originally wanted to go into the city with Ji Song, but seeing Ji Song's eyes, he felt that his past would become Ji Song's burden instead: "Okay. Be careful, I'll wait for you here."

Seeing the anxiety in Yan Xining's eyes, Ji Song smiled and touched his face: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

The guards and soldiers of the Chiling Army galloped wildly, and the carriage of Rong Wangfu galloped towards the city of Pingchang County.Yan Xining stood on the official road and looked at the direction the carriage was leaving. He didn't look away until the carriage was no longer in sight.

Now he is the most senior person among the people present, when he heard the yamen servants begging for mercy, he said coldly: "Shut their mouths."

When an official does not make decisions for the people, it is better to go home and sell sweet potatoes.What's the use of officials who carelessly ask for human lives?Yamen servants who do not distinguish between black and white are lackeys.

The remaining guards gagged the mouths of the yamen servants, and then tied them up into a ball.Seeing the arrogant yamen servants like this, the passers-by were very happy: "Okay! These bastards should have been dealt with long ago!"

The members of the Huang family even shed tears of joy. They supported each other and were about to kneel down for Yan Xining.Yan Xining quickly helped them up: "Get up, get up."

After saying this, Yan Xining bowed his hands to the surrounding people: "Don't worry, the prince will give everyone justice." After a pause, Yan Xining added: "Please go back and tell your neighbors: King Rong has arrived in Liangzhou , if you have any grievances and injustices, you can bring evidence to find me or King Rong."

As soon as the words fell, the eyes of the people in Pingchang County suddenly brightened, and they chattered: "Princess, can the prince really take care of everything?" "Can I also sue the scorpion in the village for taking over my property? !"

Yan Xining said solemnly: "As long as there is real evidence, King Rong will take care of it."

The people were very excited, and they shouted loudly: "Go, go back and tell the folks! The people who make decisions for us are here!" Dozens of people on the road scattered away, and they couldn't even see their shadows for a while.

Yan Xining's head was dripping with cold sweat, he scratched his cheek with some hesitation.He only thought that more evidence would lead to more corrupt officials, but did he inadvertently cause trouble for Ji Song?

Wang Wenyue stood blankly by the side of the road and looked at Yan Xining's back. Xi Ning had changed a lot.Along the way, he clearly saw Xining's growth.He is no longer the cowardly and timid Xining, now he is strong enough to be able to stand on his own.

Seeing the family members in ragged clothes and in a state of embarrassment, Yan Xining felt that they needed a good rest.But his own carriage was gone, and after looking left and right, he locked on someone who could help: "Wen Yue, can you borrow someone from you?"

Wang Wenyue hurried forward: "Hey, good, good."

After being touched by Yan Xining, Wang Wenyue came back to his senses.What happened just now was too sudden, he had only heard about the incident of blocking the sedan chair to sue the imperial court, but he never expected to witness it with his own eyes once in his lifetime.

And Ji Song's reaction was beyond his expectation. Wang Wenyue thought that Ji Song would appease the emotions of the Huang family first, and then make a long-term plan.However, he rushed into the city with his guards and generals... Ask yourself, he doesn't have the courage.

Wang Wenyue quickly greeted his servants: "Take them down and have a good rest."

The servants of the Wang family were well-trained, and after a while several members of the Huang family finished washing and put on clean clothes.The doctor of the palace diagnosed their pulse, and the cook also served them delicious meals.

The girl kneeling in front of the carriage asking for help was named Huang Caiwei, and she was the daughter of Sima Huang Xingjian of Liangzhou.Ever since Huang Xingjian's collection of evidence was known to the governor, the adult son of the Huang family has been imprisoned, and his life and death are now uncertain.The female family members of the Huang family escaped with the help of loyal servants, but unfortunately they were caught by the government servants just after they escaped from the city.

Huang Caiwei hung up with tears dripping while eating: "Fortunately, I met King Rong and Princess Wang. Without you, our family's grievances would never be cleared up."

Yan Xining comforted in a soft voice: "Don't worry, as long as the evidence is solid, the prince will definitely decide for you."

In fact, he doesn't understand evidence, he doesn't know much about Chu Liao's official position, and he doesn't know much about the interests involved.All he knew was that when Ji Song looked at the evidence, his expression was serious, and there was murderous look in his eyes.It was the first time he saw Ji Song showing such an expression, and he knew intuitively that the evidence that Huang Caiwei brought with her life was very important.

Huang Caiwei wiped away her tears, and she showed a reassuring smile: "I know, my father often speaks well of His Royal Highness Rong Wang in front of us. If there was no Rong Wang, Liangzhou would have been occupied by Liaoxia long ago."

Just when Yan Xining was about to say something, he heard the guard knock on the carriage hurriedly: "Princess, there are many common people on the official road."

Yan Xining poked his head out from the carriage, and saw hundreds of people appearing on the official road, they danced with joy and joy: "King Rong is here! King Rong is here to make decisions for us! Everyone, go kowtow to King Rong! "

Yan Xining: ...

He just wanted to say that King Rong has already entered the city, and now he is just... a rookie!

Liangzhou Governor's Mansion is located on the best street in Pingchang City. Today is the [-]th birthday of Liangzhou Governor Jiang Yi's old mother. Before Shen Shi arrived, the Governor's Mansion was already crowded.The officials coming and going were full of smiles, and the Governor's Mansion was beaming with joy.

In the side hall of the governor's mansion, Jiang Yi was chatting with Zhou Ye, the prefect of Pingchang.Zhou Ye sighed sadly: "My right eyelid has been twitching today, and I always feel that something is going to happen."

Jiang Yi took a sip of the tea in his hand, and said with a light smile, "Maybe it's because Ji Rongchuan is coming to Liangzhou." According to the eyeliner's report, Ji Song should arrive in Liangzhou in a few days.

Zhou Ye sighed: "Lord Inspector, I really can't figure it out. You said Ji Rongchuan can't just be an idle prince? He didn't choose such a good place as Sufu and Guangfu, but chose Liangzhou. It's good now, so it's so good We were caught off guard."

Jiang Yi smiled all over his face, and he said slowly: "Look at you, you messed up before the others came."

Zhou Ye was bitter: "There are too many thugs who want to sue recently, and there is no room for them to be locked up in the prison. I feel uneasy if these people don't die!"

Jiang Yi smiled slightly: "Even if those people are dead, do you believe that after Ji Rongchuan comes to Liangzhou, there will still be unsightly people who will sue? The troublesome people can't be killed."

Zhou Ye became even more distressed: "I heard that Ji Rongchuan is jealous of evil, and is deeply loved by the people in the capital. If someone really sues him, he will definitely not let it go due to his temperament."

Jiang Yi laughed: "You don't understand, do you? Ji Rongchuan wanted fame before because he wanted the position above. But now that his legs are useless, he has no chance of being in that position anymore. He still wants to be famous." What is Minxin doing? Don’t forget, we are officials in Liangzhou, even if someone sues him, who will help him? Isn’t it still us officials?”

Jiang Yi continued to analyze: "He chose Liangzhou simply because Liangzhou is close to the Chiling Army. The mountains here are high and the emperor is far away. No one can control him here. Don't worry, when he arrives in Liangzhou, I will have a way to deal with him Besides, wouldn't it be better to have him in Liangzhou? If Ji Rongchuan is on the same boat as us in the future, wouldn't we have more peace of mind?"

"As long as our Liangzhou officials are twisted together, what can King Rong do? He can't kill the officials of Liangzhou, can he?"

Zhou Ye breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes! My lord's analysis is correct. Which of the officials in Liangzhou doesn't have anything on them now? Even if Ji Rongchuan comes to Liangzhou, he won't be able to move all the officials for a while. What do you say That's right, he always needs people to do things for him. If the next official is him, he will definitely deal with Liangzhou officials."

The wanton laughter of the two came from the side hall. At this moment, the servants of the mansion rushed in and passed the message: "My lord! There are people outside claiming to be the left and right generals of the Chi Ling Army."

Jiang Yi was delighted when he heard it: "Did you see that? It is said that the Chi Ling Army is resolute and decisive, but now it looks like a good way. Seeing that their coach is coming to Liangzhou, they will come to deal with us "Today is Jiang Yi's mother's [-]th birthday, and it is normal for the generals of the Chi Ling Army to come to pay their respects.

Zhou Ye's right eyelid twitched twice, he touched his eyelid and stood up with a smile: "I understand, they are here to seek cooperation. They want to stage a reconciliation between generals and prime ministers in front of King Rong!"

Jiang Yi nodded in satisfaction: "Don't panic, Huang Xingjian and the others are nothing to worry about. In this world, after all, whoever has the most power will listen to whom."

Pang Wenyuan and Wu Chengkai stood in front of the Governor's Mansion, listening to the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras in the mansion, Wu Chengkai spat in a low voice: "Dog officials." The people of Liangzhou were severely harmed by these officials, but they were extravagant and really enjoyed it. .

Pang Wenyuan had a smile on his face: "Brother Wu, don't get angry, lest you startle the snake."

Not long after, Jiang Yi came out with the prefect and several officials under his command: "General Pang, General Wu, I didn't expect the two generals to come to Jiang's mansion today. It's really..."

Pang Wenyuan forced a smile on his face. He cupped his hands and stepped forward, then suddenly raised his leg and kicked Jiang Yi's knee.There was a crisp 'click', and Jiang Yi's left leg snapped.

Wu Chengkai chuckled: "Brother Pang, you're wrong. Don't get angry after you've agreed?" Wu Chengkai stepped forward with an uppercut. Zhou Ye screamed and flew several meters away.

As soon as the Chiling Army made a move, most of the officials who greeted the door were knocked down instantly, and the rest squatted down in horror, not knowing what happened.

Jiang Yi's head was covered with sweat, and he fell to the ground with his left leg twisted in a strange posture.The severe pain made him unable to speak coherently: "Pang Wenyuan! Wu Chengkai! It is a felony to beat an imperial court official! You are finished. If the official does not make a copy, please refer to your book."

At this time, everyone heard the sound of the ruts rolling, and Jiang Yi looked up with difficulty. He saw a pair of legs, a pair of legs sitting in a wheelchair.Looking up, Ji Song's cold and handsome face appeared in his sight.

Ji Song looked at Jiang Yi coldly: "Who do you want to join?"

There were people coming and going on the long street outside the governor's mansion, and in less than two cups of tea, the news of King Rong's beating spread like the wind across Pingchang City.When the people learned that it was the governor Jiang Yi and the Pingchang prefect Zhou Ye who were beaten, they ran out of their homes excitedly and rushed to the long street.

There is a happy event in the Governor's Mansion today, and half of the officials in Liangzhou have come here.The soldiers and guards of the Chiling Army guarded the three gates of the Governor's Mansion, and now the Governor's Mansion has become an iron barrel, which can only be entered but not exited.

Ji Song felt that today was a good day, otherwise how could he meet most of the officials in Liangzhou so quickly?It's just that he didn't expect this scene to be the first meeting with Liangzhou officials. It's so ironic.

After learning of Ji Song's identity, the Liangzhou officials knelt in the courtyard.Ji Song's wheelchair was lying in front of the gate of the Governor's Mansion, and on his knees was the package that Huang Caiwei desperately protected.At this time, he opened the package and took out the letters one by one. These were all ironclad proofs that Liangzhou officials were protecting each other and doing evil. Every time he opened a letter, Ji Song's anger grew a little bit.

The more Ji Song remained silent, the more uncertain Jiang Yi was.He had dealt with Ji Song before, and in his opinion, Ji Song's temperament was not bad, at least he was not a pedantic person.He felt that even if Ji Song didn't reuse him after he arrived in Liangzhou, he would at least give him the respect he deserved.But looking at the posture in front of him, Ji Song actually wanted to use him to establish his prestige?

The pain in his left leg was so severe that Jiang Yi could only lie on his side on the ground. From his perspective, he could see the upturned eyes of Zhou Ye, the prefect of Liangzhou.At this moment, he was extremely envious of Zhou Ye. He was obviously under attack. Why was Zhou Ye able to faint to death, but he had to suffer both physically and mentally?

Jiang Yi's face turned pale, no matter whether he begged or scolded, Ji Song ignored him.On the contrary, the surrounding people were pointing and pointing at him, and his eyes turned black and white, wishing he could faint.

Sitting at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Ji Song carefully read the letter in his hand.Although the hottest time has passed now, the sun still hurts his body, Jiang Yi was hurt and sunburned, he lowered his head exhausted physically and mentally.

Ji Song said in a deep voice, "Jiang Yi, governor of Liangzhou, what do you want to say?"

Jiang Yi raised his head suddenly, and after moving his lips, he yelled out sadly: "Your official has been wronged! This official is proud of his career, and he will do anything for the sake of the people of Liangzhou. I don't know what crime this official has committed. Let the king see you!" Just lay a cruel hand on the subordinates?"

Ji Song nodded slightly, and he raised the letter in his hand: "Do you know what this is?"

Jiang Yi's heart was beating like a drum. In fact, he had already guessed what the letter in Ji Song's hand was.It's just that he is still betting whether Ji Song will become an enemy of the entire Liangzhou officialdom.

Jiang Yi had a stalk in his neck, and veins popped out on his forehead: "Your official doesn't know!"

Ji Song glanced at it, and he picked out a letter and said loudly: "Is there anyone here who can read and write with a loud voice? My king has some letters here, I hope someone can read them for me."

As soon as the voice fell, four people stood out from the crowd in the field.Ji Song nodded slightly: "Please read it, everyone."

The first person to receive the letter was Wu Laosan, a watchman in Pingchang City.His voice is loud and can carry far in the night.When he got the letter, he was a little nervous, so his voice trembled slightly and his hands trembled.

Standing beside him was King Rong, and King Rong was indeed as handsome as the legend said.Even sitting in a wheelchair, the royal demeanor can be fully displayed.

Ji Song said slowly: "Don't be afraid, Mr. You can just read the contents of the letter aloud."

Ji Song gave Wu Laosan great encouragement, no one has ever called him "Sir" since he grew up, and he didn't expect that the first person to call him that was actually King Rong.Wu Laosan proudly puffed out his chest, and his loud voice with a strong Liangzhou accent sounded in front of the governor's mansion, and people within a hundred meters could hear his voice clearly.

What Wu Laosan read was a letter, a letter written by the Sima of Wenchang County to Jiang Yi, the governor.In the letter, in order to express his gratitude to the governor, Sima helped the governor buy several houses and donated ten thousand taels of silver.

The terrain of Liangzhou is remote, and the people's harvest is not much every year. Most of the people present are worth less than ten taels of silver.And Wenchang County is a poor county in Liangzhou. Sima, who was on duty in Wenchang County, was able to donate ten thousand taels of silver to honor Shangfeng... This is worth remembering.

After Wu Laosan finished reading the first letter, Jiang Yi roared: "The officials refuse to accept, this is a frame-up!"

Ji Song didn't speak, he just told Wu Laosan to continue reading the letter.One letter after another pointed out the interest chain of the officials in Liangzhou's counties. The shocking figures ignited the anger in the hearts of the people, and made the officials kneeling inside and outside the governor's mansion tremble with fear.

After Wu Laosan read a cup of tea, his mouth was dry. After Ji Song thanked him, he asked the second person with a loud voice to continue reading.If there is still a possibility of forgery in the previous letters, then the evidence presented next cannot be forged.

It was a blood book. The merchants in Lingshan County, under the jurisdiction of Pingchang County, sued the government in blood. It described in detail the specific process of the Lingshan County magistrate's ingeniously listing and exploiting them. Every word on it was blood and tears. The back of the blood book was pressed Dozens of blood fingerprints.

Before the blood book was finished, someone in the crowd cried out: "Yes! I am one of the victims! We were forced by the dog officer to live, so we had to drag our families to Pingchang to make a living. Eat, I prove that this blood book is real!"

Unexpectedly, witnesses could be found, which is enough to prove the authenticity of the evidence in Ji Song's hands.A county magistrate can suppress merchants so that they cannot survive, let alone officials above the county magistrate?Hearing the witnesses weeping in the crowd about the suffering they experienced, Ji Song clenched his fists more and more tightly.

Time passed little by little, and the sky gradually darkened.Usually at this point, the people should have finished their day's work and went home, but today they put down what they were doing and gathered in front of the governor's mansion.The long street where the governor's mansion was located was already crowded with people, and the crowd had already occupied several nearby long streets.People who could read and write sorted out the criminal evidence of the corrupt officials, and someone read the criminal evidence loudly to people a few long streets away.

The voices of those who read the evidence were getting louder and louder. Their voices were like sparks that ignited the hatred in everyone's hearts.

When the last piece of evidence was read out, the people roared angrily: "Kill them! Kill them!" Everyone said that the poor people in Liangzhou were poor, but the poor people raised such a group of corrupt officials who trampled on the people His blood and tears are free and easy, what use is it for the common people to want such a corrupt official.

The shouts of the crowd were shaking, and their eyes were full of anger. If it wasn't for the sake of Ji Song and Chi Lingjun, they would have rushed to tear these man-eating officials to pieces.

Seeing such a scene, Jiang Yi was not afraid anymore, he straightened up and sat on the ground to look at Ji Song provocatively.Ji Song waved his hands to calm down the people, but the people were so excited that the generals of the Chiling Army shouted several times before they gradually calmed down.

Ji Song looked at Jiang Yi: "What do you want to say?"

He had asked Jiang Yi about this before, but it was Jiang Yi's stubborn resistance that made him waste so long reading the criminal evidence of these officials.But this is also a good thing, lest people who don't know the inside story randomly intervene in him in the future.

Jiang Yi sneered: "Your Highness can tell that His Royal Highness wants to kill me to gain power. It's just that Your Highness, you are too impulsive. If you take these things out in public, the lower official will not be the only one who will be killed."

As soon as today's incident happened, most of the officials in Liangzhou would be beheaded, and it was the officialdom in Liangzhou that Ji Song wanted to move.It is said that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, and the officialdom in Liangzhou is deeply intertwined.If Ji Song was sensible, it would be fine to punish them in small ways in front of the common people, but if he was not sensible, who would dare to listen to his orders from the officials in Liangzhou in the future?

Ji Song nodded slightly: "I know."

Jiang Yi didn't know where a bad breath came from, and he threatened: "Do you want to abandon the entire Liangzhou officialdom?"

Ji Song's icy eyes passed over Jiang Yi, and he looked around and said after a word: "The officials of the fish and meat people, so what if they are abolished?"

After saying this, Ji Song glanced at Yan Ke: "Behead Jiang Yi."

Yan Ke clasped his fists and saluted: "I obey." He turned around and walked down the steps quickly, and said loudly: "As ordered by King Rong, behead the corrupt official Jiang Yi."

Jiang Yi's body was occupied by great panic. He wanted to back up, but his body was so stiff that he couldn't move.Seeing Yan Ke walking in front of him quickly, Jiang Yi leaned back and trembled uncontrollably: "You can't kill me, you can't kill me, I am a disciple of the Son of Heaven..."

Before the words finished, Yan Ke swung his knife neatly.Jiang Yi's head rolled off his neck, and bright red blood spattered several feet away.The officials behind Jiang Yi were spattered with blood all over their faces, and their bodies shook until they fell limp to the ground.

Ji Song looked around and said solemnly: "Starting from today, we will strictly investigate the officialdom in Liangzhou. Any officials who force good people to become prostitutes and accept bribes in Yurou Township will be executed. This king will never tolerate officials who commit crimes."

The crowd of onlookers was quiet for a moment, and then burst into an earth-shattering cry: "Okay——"
