At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

When twenty or thirty officials at the scene began to confess their own problems one after another.

Some officials who remained in place gradually showed some hesitation in their resolute expressions.

Obviously, the remaining officials are not as clean as they appear.

Xia Yun ignored these people.

Most of these people are officials of the fifth and sixth ranks, and the real big fish in Nanzhili have not arrived yet.

Time flies, and about half an hour has passed.

When the time came to nine o'clock in the evening.

Finally, another team of horse-drawn carriages arrived at Zhangjia Village and soon came to the ancestral hall.

"Ningdu's fourth-rank prefect, Lord Li Mingbo has arrived!"

"The fourth-rank governor of Quanzhou, Lord Wang Jinglun has arrived!"

"The fourth-rank governor of Langzhou, Lord Cai Peiyuan, has arrived!"

"..."

Voices rang out one after another, and more than twenty figures appeared in Xia Yun's sight.

interesting!

Xia Yun looked at the person who suddenly appeared, and a cold arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

According to the regulations of the Daliang Dynasty, lower-level officials were not allowed to announce their names when meeting their superiors, otherwise it would be disrespectful.

All the officials who arrived at Zhangjia Village had been working in officialdom for many years.

It is impossible that he doesn't even know these official rules!

This is clearly meant to show him a warning!

"Excuse me, where is the new governor of Zhejiang and Southern Zhili, Lord Xia Yunxia?"

When these twenty or so people walked to the center, the leader seemed not to have seen Xia Yun in the bright red official robe, and deliberately asked a soldier.

Hearing this, Xia Yun knew that these guys were deliberately provoking him.

Then he gave Chong Heihu a look to signal him.

Chong Heihu immediately stepped forward quickly, and when he got in front of the leading official, he kicked him mercilessly!

"boom!"

Chong Heihu's sudden action shocked the officials who had just arrived.

These people had never expected that Xia Yun's subordinates would be so ferocious!

"You have a big list! I am the fourth-rank governor of Quanzhou. Who the hell are you? How dare you hit me!"

The middle-aged official who was kicked to the ground by Chong Heihu struggled to get up from the ground, with an uncontrollable anger rising in his eyes.

However, just as he was about to continue arguing.

Chong Heihu, with an expressionless face, kicked out again!

"boom!"

Wang Jinglun fell heavily to the ground again, feeling the severe pain all over his body, and he grimaced.

"If you dare to make a loud noise again, I will kill you without mercy!"

Finally a response came from Chong Heihu's mouth.

Chong Heihu drew out the long sword from his waist and placed the tip of the sword across Wang Jinglun's head.

At this time, the faces of the officials who had just arrived at the scene were extremely pale.

They thought that there was strength in numbers, and that with their status as fourth-rank officials, they would be able to give Xia Yun a hard time.

But now it seems that they have greatly underestimated Xia Yun's ruthlessness!

Seeing that Wang Jinglun had stopped making any sound, Chong Heihu put his sword back to his waist. However, soon after, he signaled the two soldiers behind him to tie up Wang Jinglun.

"stop!"

The fourth-rank Ningdu prefect, upon seeing this scene, turned extremely pale and spoke in a deep voice.

"We are all officials appointed by the imperial court! How dare Lord Xia insult us like this!"

As the prefect of Ningdu, Lee Myung-bak held a very high position in Nanzhili, and at this time he set his sights directly on Xia Yun.

"You dare to talk to an adult like that? You must be tired of living!"

Chong Heihu, who had just put away his sword, suddenly kicked out again, knocking Lee Myung-bak to the ground.

"Look at all these officials around you, who do you think you are?"

"If you dare to make noise again, don't blame me for cutting off your tongue!"

Chong Heihu put one foot on Lee Myung-bak's head, spat on his face, and had murderous intent in his eyes.

Lee Myung-bak and the twenty or so officials behind him finally reacted after hearing what was said.

In addition to them, there were dozens of other officials at the scene.

But right now, those people seemed to be taking notes or something like that.

It was at this time that Chen Bao came to Xia Yun with a confession in his hand.

"Sir, this is Cheng Qing's confession."

Chen Bao carefully handed Cheng Qing's confession to Xia Yun.

Xia Yun took a closer look and a strange look suddenly appeared on his face.

As the first official to plead guilty voluntarily, Cheng Qing confessed to corruption and bribery. It turned out that when he first arrived in Nanzhili, he accepted 200 taels of tea money as a reward from the former governor Su Chen.

"..."

For a moment, Xia Yun just felt funny.

A mere two hundred taels of silver is a considerable sum of money for ordinary people, but for officials in the Jiangnan region, it is at most the cost of a meal in a restaurant.

The fact that Cheng Qing is serious about something to this extent is enough to show that he is actually a pretty good official.

Xia Yun then waved his hand and called Cheng Qing to his side.

"From now on, you are the governor of Quanzhou."

With just a few words, Xia Yun promoted Cheng Qing on the spot.

When Cheng Qing heard this, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

Didn’t Xia Yun want them to confess their guilt voluntarily?

How come I got promoted after I confessed my guilt?

At the same time, Wang Jinglun, the governor of Quanzhou, had just been tied up.

After hearing that Xia Yun promoted Cheng Qing, he reacted quickly!

"Xia Yun! I am a fourth-rank official recommended by the young minister! You have no right to dismiss me!"

Wang Jinglun struggled and shouted loudly.

In his opinion, if he mentioned the title of Young Minister, Xia Yun would be more or less afraid.

However, the fact is that after Xia Yun heard that Wang Jinglun was an official recommended by the young minister, he did not feel the slightest fear in his heart.

Instead, a gleam of brilliance appeared in his eyes.

He was worried that he couldn't find a place to take revenge on Xu Miao, but he didn't expect that this guy would dare to self-destruct!

"Cheng Qing, I will only give you one hour to find out the truth about Wang Jinglun and Zhang Quanzhong colluding to arrest the men of Chengtang County."

Xia Yun withdrew his gaze from Wang Jinglun and then looked at Cheng Qing and said.

Upon hearing this, all the officials present, including Cheng Qing, were shocked!

At this time, they finally understood why Xia Yun appeared in this remote Zhangjia Village and why all officials had to come here.

It turns out that the reason for all this was because of Zhang Quanzhong who had been beaten into a pig's head!

In just a few breaths, all the officials present cast resentful glances towards Zhang Quanzhong.

If it weren't for this stupid guy.

They won't be here today!

"Yes! Your lord!"

After realizing that Xia Yun was planning to use him, Cheng Qing immediately accepted Xia Yun's order without any hesitation.

"Take him inside for questioning."

Xia Yun nodded and signaled Cheng Qing to take the man to the ancestral hall for interrogation.
