as expected!
Ying Ziye smiled coldly and said, "The county governor is an official serving the people!"
"Now that the murderer has been found, we will not pursue the matter further."
"But! The body of County Cheng Li Fu was skinned and stuffed with straw and hung in front of the Yamen of the County Cheng Mansion!"
"Let everyone in the world see what happens to corrupt officials, so as to be vigilant!"
"What!!!"
All the officials were stunned on the spot.
A flash of anger flashed in Bai Ye's eyes.
This eighth young master has such a cruel heart!
"Here, I'll obey!"
Bai Ye and Cheng Yang responded respectfully.
After saying that, Ying Ziye waved his hand and asked Bai Ye to lead the way to the government office.
In the county government office.
Ying Ziye flipped through a series of bamboo slips that recorded Chen County's financial affairs and people's livelihood, including account books and taxes.
"Where are the corrupt officials under the command of the county magistrate?"
Bai Ye was sitting at the lower table. After hearing the inquiry, he immediately replied: "Reporting to His Highness the Eighth Young Master, all the embezzled money has been put into the treasury!"
"Ah!"
Ying Ziye couldn't help but be amused. What's the difference between putting it in the treasury and leaving it in Bai Ye's hands? !
"No need to charge it into the treasury!"
"As the saying goes, take it from the people, use it for the people, and spread all the money among the people."
"this……"
Shiro hesitated.
"Um?!"
Ying Ziye snorted coldly.
Although Bai Ye was dissatisfied, he had no choice but to bow and say, "I obey!"
"in addition!"
Ying Ziye looked directly at Bai Ye with burning eyes, and ordered in a cold voice: "Let's make arrangements now. Taxes and other things will be collected in accordance with the regulations of the empire and decrees will be issued."
"This afternoon, when I work with you to return the money gained from corruption to the people, it is a good time to make an announcement!"
"Here!"
Bai Ye responded respectfully.
It's almost afternoon.
Bai Ye led the county soldiers to carry wooden and iron boxes one by one, and headed towards the busy city.
When you open the box, you will find that it is full of money, all obtained from corruption!
"Fathers and fellow villagers!"
Ying Ziye was dressed in white, with a solemn face and a warm smile.
"I am the eighth son of the Great Qin Empire, and I have been ordered by my father to patrol the world eastward!"
"The Eighth Young Master of Great Qin???"
The faces of the people showed surprise, shocked by Ying Ziye's identity.
"The county magistrate Li Fu was corrupt, forcibly levied high taxes, and ordered the county soldiers to arrest children and teenagers. When he heard about my arrival, he committed suicide out of fear of crime!"
Ying Ziye looked solemn and clapped his hands.
Immediately, some county soldiers carried out the body of the county magistrate.
"Dead! Really dead!"
The shocked eyes of the people were filled with unprecedented excitement.
However, he did not dare to express his inner joy too much.
"Now those children captured by the Blood Warriors have been sent home by my master."
"The proceeds from his corruption and bribery are all here!"
"Today, I will distribute this money to you!!!"
"What?"
"This money...give it to us??"
The people looked at Ying Ziye in shock, sometimes looking at the boxes filled with money piled aside.
Ying Ziye waved his hand and said, "Now, everyone can line up to receive the money!"
"My master has found those corruption record books. The amount of extra money each person paid is clearly recorded and will be returned according to their status!"
After the words fell, although all the people showed joy, they were timid and did not dare to step forward.
Seeing this, Sheriff Bai Ye and Cheng Yang and the other officials secretly sneered.
On the other hand, Ying Ziye's brows were furrowed and his face became increasingly gloomy.
Obviously these people have been squeezed and scared. Even if the decision is made for them now, they are still afraid of the tyranny of the county governor and others.
He was afraid that if he took the money and Ying Ziye left, he would be retaliated against.
At this moment, Bai Ye slowly stepped forward and shouted loudly: "You deserve all this money, take it!"
The words fell slowly.
After hearing the governor's words, a group of common people dared to come forward to collect the money, and lined up in a long line to receive the overcharged taxes according to their status.
Dusk is falling!
At night, Ying Ziye refused to accept Bai Ye's invitation, but led everyone to stay at the inn.
"The county governor Bai Ye, the county captain Cheng Yang, and the dead county prime minister Li Fu..."
Ying Ziye's eyes were deep and his words were cold as he said: "This entire Chen County is in complete rotten state. All the officials from top to bottom are working together and colluding with each other!"
"Oppressing the people, imposing high taxes, arresting children, and doing all kinds of evil!"
It's time!
There was a knock on the door.
"Master!"
"Come in!"
Ying Ziye spoke out.
The bad guy stepped in and said respectfully: "Master Qi, all the money distributed to the people during the day has been collected!"
At this moment, Ying Ziye's expression became colder and grimmer.
"I didn't expect that Bai Ye, Cheng Yang and others would be so unscrupulous and impatient!"
"Young master is still in charge of Chen County. They dare to act like this. Not only did they get their money back, they also paid it today and collected it tonight!"
"I can't even pretend to wait for the young master to leave before I can get my money back!"
Although Hou Qing was usually calm, he was angry because of the cruel oppression of the Li people.
"Sir, I'm going to kill Bai Ye, Cheng Yang and others!"
Hou Qing's face was full of anger, and his eyes showed murderous intent.
Ying Ziye raised his hand slightly, blocking his steps, and said with murderous intent: "We still don't know their purpose or the person behind it."
"Don't act rashly!"
Yuan Tiangang asked: "Master, how will we settle these people next?"
Ying Ziye had regained his composure at this time and said calmly: "Just pretend everything never happened."
Inside the Sheriff's Mansion!
Bai Ye sneered, looking at the boxes of money that had been confiscated, he couldn't help but get carried away, and looked up to the sky laughing.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"You're just the eighth young master. Although your status and cultivation are higher than mine and you have the emperor's mandate, so what?!"
"In this Chenjun county, I am the master of everything!"
Bai Ye snorted coldly and said with a disdainful expression: "If you want to fight with me, you are still too young, Mr. Eighth."
Bai Ye looked at the towering figure wearing jet black armor and asked lightly: "Have the herbs and other supplies been sent out?"
The armor worn by the majestic figure is almost the same as that of the Blood Warrior. The only difference is that there is a touch of blazing gold on the arms and chest, which is different from the red color of the Blood Warrior.
It is the blood warrior commander!
The blood warrior commander replied: "Reporting to your lord, the team has already delivered the goods and set off, and all those who knew about it have been silenced."
"No one will know the whereabouts of these things!"
Bai Ye nodded slightly, looked cautious, and said in a cold voice: "Find a way to catch the children who ran away."
"When everything is settled here, you and I won't need to stay here anymore."
"At that time, the king will give other generous rewards!"
"Here."
