"Ozawa, it's been three days, can you tell me what I'm waiting for?"

"..."

"You said you would take me to punish corrupt officials, but you didn't leave the house for three days in a row. Are you lying to me?"

backyard.

Lu Zhixuan was nagging a lot.

These days, she has been bored to death!

Lu Zhixuan originally thought that by following her younger brother, she could punish a few corrupt officials in Yuzhou Mansion.

But who would have thought that after moving into another courtyard, time passed quietly for three days, and my brother also lay in bed for three whole days!

Is sleeping really more important than punishing corrupt officials? ?

Beside her, Lu Shaoze was playing with a gravel in his hand, leaning on the rockery and looking at the sky.

Listening to his elder sister chattering in his ears, Lu Shaoze was really a little dizzy.

I stayed in another hospital for three days, and my sister nagged me for three days.

How long will it take for this temper to change?

"Auntie, can you calm down for a moment, calm down and wait for a while?"

"Then tell sister your plan, and she won't bother you anymore."

"only……"

As soon as Lu Shaoze spoke, a figure quickly approached.

It is Guan Hai.

"Sir, Yan Zixiao is here."

"Oh? Finally here?"

After waiting for three days, this guy still did not disappoint me!

Lu Shaoze smiled and turned around to say:

"Let's go and meet him."

After saying that, he lifted up his feet and walked away.

It's been three days, and I don't know which scapegoat this guy has introduced?

"Yes." Guan Hai responded and followed closely.

Lu Zhixuan was left on the spot, scratching her head in confusion.

"Yan Zixiao? Is he the one my brother is waiting for??"



Front lobby.

When Lu Shaoze arrived, Yan Zixiao had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Lu Shaoze coming with a few people, Yan Zixiao hurriedly stepped forward and saluted:

"I'm going to pay my respects to Mr. Lu."

"Master Yan, I'm sorry, I wonder why you came here today?"

Lu Shaoze just glanced behind Yan Zixiao and waved his hand with a smile.

After hearing what Lu Shaoze asked, Yan Zixiao's face instantly flashed with anger.

Immediately afterwards, he looked back angrily at the person behind him and scolded:

"Zhang Zhong, please inform me of your crime quickly. If you conceal anything, I will not let you go leniently!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Magistrate Zhang Zhong, who was kneeling behind him, nodded in a panic.

"Xiaguan confesses that Xiaguan's heart has been deceived by lard. I would like to ask you to spare Xiaguan's life for the sake of past kindness..."

"explain!"

Bang~bang~bang~

Following Yan Zixiao's cold snort, Zhang Zhong did not dare to hesitate at all.

While kowtowing crazily, he recounted his crimes.

"The lower officials are greedy for vanity and have betrayed the emperor's grace. Zhang Zhong deserves death!"

"The thing is like this..."

As Zhang Zhong spoke eloquently, Lu Shaoze turned his attention to him.

What Zhang Zhong said is all in one word: greed!

In fact, the matter is very simple. The subordinates send money, and he collects money to help conceal the affairs of various counties.

However, there are many officials involved.

There are 19 counties under the jurisdiction of Yuzhou Prefecture, and officials from 17 counties have bribed him to a greater or lesser extent!

The stolen silver he collected was hundreds of thousands of taels!

But apart from greed, other things have nothing to do with him.

But, one scapegoat is enough!

Thinking of this, Lu Shaoze immediately curled up his lips and ordered to Guan Hai:

"Please also ask Mr. Guan to lead a trip to each county. All officials involved will be executed on the spot as long as the evidence is solid!"

"I humble my position and take orders."

Guan Hai responded, turned around, picked up Zhang Zhong and left.

For a time, only three people were left in the huge front hall.

After Guan Hai left, Yan Zixiao bent his knees and knelt on the ground with a thud without saying a word.

"If you hadn't come here and exposed Zhang Zhong's flaws, I might still be kept in the dark."

"Yan's lax governance allowed such a moth to hide in Yuzhou Prefecture for ten years. Please punish me!"

Yan Zixiao burst into tears and his tone was sad.

Those who don’t know better think that he is a good and upright official!

At least, that's what Lu Zhixuan thinks now.

Seeing Yan Zixiao crying so hard, she couldn't help but pulled Lu Shaoze's arm and reminded:

"Ozawa, he..."

"nothing."

Turning back to signal his sister to calm down, Lu Shaoze turned around and his face instantly turned cold.

"Sir Yan, Zhang Zhong's incident has nothing to do with you, but it is a fact that your rule is not strict!"

"Although I am interested in partiality, I can't ignore my Dakang law!"

"However, my lord is working hard to govern this place in Yuzhou Prefecture. There is no merit but hard work."

"How about I temporarily remove you from your official position? After you go to Beijing with me to meet the Holy Spirit, how about you let the Holy One decide?"

Lu Shaoze's ability to tell lies with open eyes cannot be ignored.

Now that he has been convicted, Yan Zixiao is asked to accompany him to Beijing to meet the saint, so that he can be prepared on the road!

Lu Shaoze didn't believe it. Since he had poisoned him, how could he not have a back-up plan?

Not letting him see the results with his own eyes would be a shame for his laborious planning!

When Yan Zixiao heard this, he collapsed on the ground with a face ashen as death.

After a long time, he stood up and bowed with a bitter look on his face:

"Your Majesty's great love, I will definitely keep it in my heart for the rest of my life!"

For his acting skills, it would be a shame not to award him an Oscar.

Tsk tsk~

"I also ask you to go back to your home and wait. When the matter in Yuzhou is over, I will send someone to notify you to return to Beijing together."

"From Yan Mousheng."

Then he saluted Lu Shaoze, and Yan Zixiao walked out of the lobby in despair.

The back is sluggish, as if he suddenly looks much older at this moment?

However, as soon as he left the hospital, Yan Zixiao's expression suddenly changed 180 degrees.

The corners of his mouth raised, and a sneer appeared immediately!

"Haha, take me back to the capital with you? Then let's see if you, the prince of Dingguo, have what it takes!"

"Hmph~"

My heart snorted coldly, and my murderous intention arose spontaneously. .



Front lobby.

After watching Yan Zixiao leave, Lu Shaoze just shook his head and smiled, and planned to go back to sleep.

The opportunity has been given by himself, it depends on whether Yan Zixiao can seize it!

But at this moment.

Lu Zhixuan, who noticed the inexplicable smile on Lu Shaoze's lips, immediately took a step forward and stood in front of her younger brother.

Then he asked with some confusion:

"Ozawa, why are you laughing?"

"No? Sister, are you mistaken?"

"Hmph, you still want to lie to me? Let me guess~"

Lu Zhixuan frowned and walked around her brother.

When Lu Shaoze turned around and was dazzled, he asked slightly in surprise:

"Are you doubting Yan Zixiao?"

"Yo, when did you become smarter?"

Lu Shaoze was also a little surprised.

With my sister's brain, she can actually see that?

What a miracle~

"Lu Shaoze!"

"So in your eyes, your sister and I are a fool?"

Lu Zhixuan was so angry that she tried to pull Lu's ear.

However, Lu Shaoze reacted faster and ran away in a flash.

"That's what you think, I didn't say anything..."
