Three Four Three, Purple Flames in the Courtyard Make Spring Mist (10)

PS: Thank you for the big ban~~ Thank you for your support~~~ Thank you! Finally, please remember to vote for some recommendation~~

Zhao Shicheng never thought that he would end his life with this way of death. When the burrs of the hemp rope pierced into his delicate neck, unprecedented fear and pressure enveloped his head. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind: I'm going to die.

No wife and children, no parents and relatives, no glory and wealth, only-

I'm going to die!

The hemp rope gradually tightened, and Zhao Shicheng felt the heat emitted by the murderer behind him. The severe pain on his neck quickly brought a tingling feeling like burning lungs.

Zhao Shicheng waved his arm irresistibly, as if he could pull some air into his shriveled lungs.

finally……

"I, let's do it..." Zhao Shicheng held his energy and squeezed out three words.

The ropes on the neck loosened, the hot blood poured into the brain, and the cool air poured into the lungs.

Zhao Shicheng knelt on the ground like a broken sack, sucking the turbid air in the dungeon with big mouthfuls, but it seemed like he was enjoying the most beautiful meal in his life.

"Mr. Zhao has decided to ask?" Li Sanli released the hemp rope and walked slowly to Zhao Shicheng.

Zhao Shicheng's face was covered in tears and his face was filled with tears, and he burst into tears. He didn't know why he had said the terrible three words just now, nor did he know why he could not die bravely... But he knew one thing, he would never want to go to the gate of hell again to make a speech.

"I've taken it!" Zhao Shicheng cried in a hoarse voice like a bullied child: "It's okay to call anything. I've taken it..."

"The only one who dies in the hardships of the ages." Li Sanli laughed without any concern.

Zhao Shicheng raised his head, as if he knew his weight. He said unrestrainedly: "Wu Weiye cannot do a case with my confession alone!" He seemed to want to find some dignity, but the facts knocked him to pieces.

"Wu Weiye? Is it Wumei Village? Is it Wumei Village in Kunshan?" Someone shouted loudly in a cell in the dungeon: "I am Mr. Wu's fellow countryman! I have been a co-magistrate of Weihui Mansion! I know everything about the enemy and rebellion in the county of Fuli! Let me see Mr. Wu!"

"So too! I know too! I have been a promoter!"

"I am Jiyuan Dianshi! I want to report the thief! Let me go!"

...

For a moment, the entire cell heard the sound of reporting the traitor, all of which were officials from all over the county of Huaiqing and Weihui prefectures.

Li Sanli was stunned, but he had already understood in an instant. He had accidentally staged a scene of killing a chicken to warn the monkey. These people thought they would be executed because of collusion with the enemy and surrender, and hurriedly surrendered to the new master.

As for those so-called "reports", you don't need to ask, as long as Mr. Wu reveals some clues, these people will bite them crazy at all costs.

This is normal. If it weren't for the greedy and fearful death, how could the thief come to surrender the thief and the official comes to surrender? A scholar with a solar term had already been killed and achieved success when the city was broken.

Wu Weiye never thought that there were so many Allied troops in the dungeon.

According to the work outline, each prefecture and county will give priority to completing the work task of registering households and all citizens. After consolidating the foundation of rule, the old officials will be screened and punished.

The Eastern Palace did this in Shandong at that time because the Eastern Palace servants had basic staff and there was no need to directly use these old officials. Wu Weiye did not know how to adapt and only knew that he could be a trap according to the work plan, so he would naturally get half the result with twice the effort.

Fortunately, it's not too late to know.

Wu Weiye opened the court overnight and interrogated these new and old prisoners. As long as they did not lead the thief to resist the king's army, they were asked to move from the dungeon to the Chenghuang Temple. Although there were still yamen runners guarding it, it was finally a good place with beds and beds. There was no need to worry that someone would take their lives with hemp ropes.

Some of these people had resisted when they came to attack the thieves, but they were outnumbered and could only surrender. These people became the first batch of officials who made meritorious service, with detailed work arrangements and returned to the position of "serving the people". The first thing they had to do now is to dig out the "second remnants" of the enemy and bandits in the city and eliminate the roots.

The sudden blow left the Shi family in the city without any room for reaction. The yamen runners holding arms quickly rushed into the Hanoi County Government, arresting the Hanoi County Magistrate, causing the Shi family to lose the contact person in the center. As the police chief, Li Sanli also brought the temporary strong men to the mansion of the wealthy family.

These families have slaves, but these people are just servants responsible for cleaning up. They can go out to bully good people on weekdays, but they are scared to death in the face of the "male-being people" who rushed over. Even if there is resistance in the city, they will be broken through the gate in an instant.

Wu Weiye was so excited that he didn't sleep all night. When it was dawn, he felt a little tired when he looked at the local gentry who was kneeling in the hall.

"Don't be fine, you guys." Wu Weiye sat in the hall with a stern face and greeted the gentry whom he had met just a few days ago.

The people kneeling below felt creepy and shouted for injustice.

Wu Weiye listened to these shouts of injustice, and felt that the Hanlin officials were as big as a fight. He raised his hand and pressed it down with vain. The crying sounds were suppressed, leaving only two choking sounds that could not stop the car.

When everything calmed down, Wu Weiye looked at the black head in the hall, but his mind was blank. The talent of Jinxiu, who had been uttering and laughing, seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and he couldn't even remember the sentence that suited the situation. Everyone thought he was deliberately putting pressure on these gentry, but they didn't urge him.

"Shen Tongzhi, come." Wu Weiye finally gave up his intention to hold back his words and waved to Shen Jiaxian.

The appointment of the Ministry of Personnel has not been given yet, but according to the cheapest power given to the prefect by the Eastern Palace, Wu Weiye could indeed appoint Shen Jiaxian as the acting Tongzhi first.

Shen Jiaxian stepped forward and saluted, "But listen to the instructions of the emperor of the mansion."

Wu Weiye coughed dryly: "This mansion will rush to Luoyang headquarters to clear the rebellion, identify and interrogate the rebellion, and other matters in the mansion will be temporarily dealt with by Shen Tongzhi."

Shen Jiaxian was quite surprised.

He had long hoped to have the opportunity to show his ability to manage the local area. From the "Huangming Notice" in the past few days, it can be seen that the officers and soldiers stopped their pace when they recovered Henan, mainly not because they could not fight, but because they could not manage it.

In this system, Shen Jiaxian can see more clearly: the former Ming Dynasty officialdom and the Eastern Palace system under the leadership of the crown prince were two distinct extremes. The former was extremely decentralized, and local officials did nothing, which was the most virtuous; but now they had to take care of everything, and even the people could not even look at them.

Chen Jiaxian knew that ruling and governing was the highest level of politics, but as a middle-level official of the Ming Dynasty, Mu Shou, he liked the pleasure of everything being mastered.

Wu Weiye's departure created such an opportunity for him. If he could also do the work of registering a household Qimin before Wu Fuzun came back, it would definitely be a contribution of Tongtian.

Chen Jiaxian doesn’t have to worry that Wu Weiye has robbed him of his credit.

In the East Palace administrative system, there is a magical artifact: meeting minutes.

Local officials held a regular meeting at the top and bottom levels on ten days. The meeting process was clear: first, each subordinate reported the situation, then the whole person discussed the gains and losses, and then the Shangguan arranged the tasks according to the current situation. In each process, who made statements, who arranged the arrangements, and who was responsible, wrote clearly, and then the participants signed the documents.

In addition, there are various special meetings and on-site meetings. Although they are not as formal as usual, they are clearly written in black and white and signed by the participants. Regardless of the rewards and punishments afterwards, they are based on this. If they cannot be greedy or reject them.

Wu Weiye left Huaiqing Mansion and could not attend the regular meeting, so he would not have any credit for the work report during this period. As the actual host, Chen Jiaxian's name would appear in every official letter from the government office, and would be requested.

With confidence in one's own abilities, Chen Jiaxing is not worried about doing anything wrong: even the matter of raiding the family is finished, will there be greater guilt for the rest of the final work?

I am afraid that the landlords in the county below will incite civil unrest, so when the situation is unclear, we must first take the magistrates of each county into their hands, and establish police stations and inspection departments as soon as possible, so that they can suppress them if there is anything wrong.

Chen Jiaxian naturally thought of Zhang Sanju's nephews. On his list, except for the magistrate of Meng County, the other five were all children of the Zhang family.
