Soon enough, the guard jumped back suddenly, pulled out the sharp sword from his waist and blocked it in front of him.
At the same time, dozens of guards rushed out from both sides of the alley, surrounding Xin Gong.
XinGou was shocked, clenched the sword in his hand, pointed it at the guard, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you?"
He has been in battle for a long time, and it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary guard to avoid his sneak attack.
The guard snorted coldly: "Wei Xi, the commander of Kuaiji County! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"
Xin Gou cursed secretly, but blamed Feng Tuo first: "Every time I go to Xianyang, my elder brother takes the young master with him, but he lets me stay behind in Changsha County." If I had been to Xianyang, how could I not know Wei Xi! '
If Feng Tuo knew Xin Gou's thoughts, he would probably vomit blood! You didn't listen to my advice, and now you blame me for not taking you out to see the world?
When Wei Xi saw him, his eyes widened with anger, he shouted: "I'll capture you if you don't let me go!"
Knowing that he was in a certain death situation, Xin Gou sneered: "Zhang Liang was unjust and killed my wife and children. Today I can't avenge my family, so why should I live?"
After saying that, he directly swung his sword and killed himself!
Wei Xi frowned and walked up quickly. Zhang Liang and Zhang Li also walked out quickly behind him.
Wei Xi probed Xin Gou's breath with his hand, turned around and shook his head at the few people.
Zhang Li narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "He didn't forget to take out the Feng Tuo before he died. This letter is quite loyal to Feng Tuo."
Zhang Liang turned his head and looked at Zhang Yue in surprise.
"Does the Sheriff know him?"
Zhang Li nodded: "We had a close relationship."
Zhang Liang's face turned pale when he heard this, and he bowed and bowed.
"Thanks to the governor today, otherwise the good general would have died here."
Zhang Yue laughed and returned the salute.
"Master Zhang, please don't be polite, it's my duty. Now that Xin Gou is dead, even if he is the county lieutenant beside Feng Tuo, there is no way to prove that Feng Tuo sent him here. What are Master Zhang's plans next?"
Zhang Liang frowned slightly and thought for a while.
"Now I don't know if His Majesty already knows what happened in Changsha County. If I send a report, I may still be intercepted by Feng Tuo's people. With good intentions, we should remain unchanged in the face of all changes. If Feng Tuo learns of Xin Gou's death and knows that we are ready, He must be wary and won’t send anyone to assassinate him in the short term. If His Majesty doesn’t report back within ten days, Liang will go there himself!”
Zhang Li nodded slightly and did not persuade Zhang Liang.
"This is what we have to do for now. If Mr. Zhang wants to return to Xianyang in ten days, I will order Wei Xi to accompany you."
Zhang Liang smiled slightly: "Thank you, Lord Sheriff."
Three days later, Zhou Zhe rushed all the way to Changsha County with my edict.
He didn't stop on the way and went straight to the Xiangxian County Sheriff's Mansion.
The moment Feng Tuo saw Zhou Zhan, he already knew that the matter had been exposed.
The people sent to Xianyang to inquire about the news haven't come back yet. Feng Yuan doesn't know what the situation is. XinGou is still waiting for news about him in Wu County. Now there is no news from the three parties, but Yushi Zhongcheng came to Changsha County first. The situation is over!
When Zhou Zhe saw that Feng Tuo was not talking nonsense, he announced on the spot that he would be dismissed from the post of county guard and he would be the acting county guard.
After Feng Tuo listened to the edict brought by Zhou Zhe, his face was ashen and he said feebly: "Where is my son Feng Yuan?"
Zhou Zhe was afraid that he would be forced to take risks. After all, he was still on his territory. He said calmly: "In Xianyang Prison. But your Majesty only ordered people to imprison him and did not torture him. Feng Tuo, if you still care about yourself My son and family will go to jail honestly. Your Majesty is kind and will deal with it leniently."
In fact, I don't know whether Zhou Zhe used torture on Feng Yuan, but it was just to stabilize Feng Tuo.
Feng Tuo nodded, as if the years that had not aged for more than ten years suddenly began to carve wrinkles on his face. In just a quarter of an hour, he felt that he was already extremely old.
"But according to His Majesty's decree."
Five days later, Zhang Liang received my report and re-wrote a report about the assassination and gave it to the visitor to bring back to me.
Twenty days later, Zhou Zhe wrote a detailed report on the situation in Changsha County and sent it to Xianyang.
Xianyang Palace, court meeting.
My gloomy expression made everyone in the hall feel a deep chill.
"You have all heard what Feng Jie said just now. I have been in power for three years, and I think that I consider everything for the head of Guizhou and for the sake of the Qin Dynasty. But what about you? You have no sympathy for the head of Guizhou. For the official robes you wear, Use deceit to deceive superiors and deceive inferiors!"
"Forgot the Kuaiji Rebellion? The Sishui Rebellion is still around the corner! If the Great Qin Dynasty had officials like Feng Tuo, it would only be a matter of time before the Great Qin Dynasty died in the second generation! How can we talk about the foundation of all generations?!"
Everyone quickly bowed their heads and said in unison: "I am guilty!"
The Fengtuo incident sounded a wake-up call for me. I originally thought that the people's rebellion was simply because they didn't have enough to eat, so I would find a way to increase food production. As long as there is food to eat, the people will naturally live a stable life. The abundant food in the national treasury blinded my eyes, making me eager to consider threats from the outside and ignoring the problems that still existed internally.
Corruption, which has been unstoppable since the formation of human society, is one of the main reasons that undermines the foundation of a country. They will be greedy in rich places, and they will be greedy in poor places. If they cannot be greedy too much, then they will be greedy less. In short, I came to be this official, and if I leave without greed for money, it seems like my trip was in vain.
"I have ordered Yu He to go to various counties and counties to thoroughly investigate officials at all levels after ending the Baiyue incident. Any officials found to be inhumane or corrupt will not tolerate it!"
"In addition, Feng Jie is responsible for supervising the officials in Xianyang and investigating them one by one! Anyone who has a huge amount of property in his family whose origin cannot be explained will be dismissed from his post and investigated!"
Everyone was shocked, it seemed that His Majesty was really coming. As an official in the court, how many people dare to pat their chests and say that they have never been greedy?
No one is a saint. Even if you don't take the initiative to be greedy, someone will hunt you and make you accept some benefits without knowing it. Corruption can range from small to large, from a box of tea or a bag of specialty products to millions of dollars in corruption. One year is enough!
After I finished making arrangements, Meng Yi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the case has now been verified. Feng Tuo was charged with ten counts of concealing land, exorbitant taxes, oppressing the head of Guizhou, committing murder, and conspiring to form a party; his son Feng Yuan was convicted of murder. Five people, dozens of injured, and the crime of raping civilian women. According to the laws and clans, please make your decision."
Without hesitation, I waved my hand and said, "Judgment in accordance with the law."
"In addition, Zhang Liang was granted the title of censor of the Jiangnan Dao Supervisor, established the Kuaiji County, and supervised the eight counties in the south of the Yangtze River; and Jie Wu was appointed the governor of Changsha County."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Outside Xiang County, Changsha County.
Feng Tuo looked up to the sky and cursed, with endless filthy words coming out of his mouth.
"Fusu, you are such a treacherous villain! You clearly promised that you would only kill me and spare my family. But now you have betrayed your promise! Villain! I curse the great Qin Dynasty to perish in your hands!"
Zhou Zhe frowned, stood up and shouted: "Execution!"
As the words fell, the five green cows emitted white smoke from their nostrils and roared in five directions.
A quarter of an hour later, Feng Tuo's screams gradually subsided...
