In Xiangyang County Government, Guo Hao sat in the position of the magistrate.

The prefect Du Song was trembling on the side, and the main figures such as Wang Ying, Guang Ji, Xing Chi were kneeling below.

"Mr. Du, is Wang Ying an official in your jurisdiction?"

"yes."

"So you don't know what he did?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, the Lord, the Lord really doesn't know..."

"hehe……"

Guo Hao sneered, he really didn't know if he didn't check it, and he was shocked when he checked it.

After two days of investigation, it was found that one million guan and one hundred thousand pieces of silk were found from Guangji Temple alone. This is not a small number.

In addition to these, Guangji Temple also has 30,000 acres of fertile land, more than ten places in Xiangyang City, and more than one hundred thousand yuan in loan accounts.

If a group of monks had such great wealth, no one would believe it if they were all from Monk Guangji.

The magistrate Wang Ying cannot escape the relationship. Now that the official has gone to Wang Ying's home, it is believed that the results will not take long.

Just as Guo Hao was waiting for the result, the drum in the county government was ringing, and the sound of the drum made everyone smart, because since the imperial court reformed the officials, some civil cases were no longer handled by the county government.

"Reported, someone outside beats the drum and says he wants to seek justice!"

Guo Hao was energetic when he heard this. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing. After all, it was normal for death in troubled times, and the government's inaction has penetrated into the hearts of the people.

Now that someone beats the drum to seek justice, it means that the people have begun to trust the government. Guo Hao waved his hand and said, "Bring people up!"

Soon, the yamen runners took the person up, and the person came was like a father and daughter. The father looked about fifty years old and his daughter seemed to be in his twenties.

"Sir, make the decision for the people!"

The two of them knelt on the ground when they came up, and Guo Hao said in a deep voice: "What's wrong with you? Just tell me!"

It was Guo Hao's first trial, but he did a good job. The prefect dared not interrupt, and Guangji and others were taken aside.

"Sir, I want to advertise Guangji Temple and occupy my land. My son went to the government to seek justice, but was locked up by the government. His whereabouts are still unknown..."

The old man said, tears flowing all over his face, and the woman next to him cried constantly. Guo Hao frowned when he heard this. The so-called whereabouts of unknown origin are probably dead. This is the utmost responsibility of human life!

"Guangji, how do you explain this matter!"

"this……"

Guangji didn't know how to explain it, so he turned to look at Wang Ying. Wang Ying's face looked a little ugly at this time. In fact, these things were not what he wanted to do, but he didn't dare to say about the person behind him.

When Guo Hao saw the expressions of the two, he knew that this matter was not simple, and there must be a mastermind behind the scenes, so he said, "I already know this matter. You can go down and you will give you an explanation!"

After Guo Hao finished speaking, there was an official sentencing him to send the two out. Guo Hao didn't want to reveal his identity, but in the eyes of the two, Guo Hao was protecting each other.

"God, please open your eyes. As long as my son can come back, I don't want anything..."

The old man cried to the sky, and many people couldn't bear it when they saw it, but they couldn't tell the truth. What Guo Hao promised him would definitely do, and he still needed to wait.

Guo Hao had no choice but to do so. Fortunately, he discovered it in time, otherwise something might not have happened. In fact, he was very clear about some things. If he did business without the support of the government, it would be impossible to gain a foothold.

Although this is an unspoken rule, it cannot be a reason for corruption. If local officials have political achievements, the court will also issue rewards.

I am afraid that some people are not greedy and have a lucky mentality, and think that it is nothing to take less, and some things will not be known to others.

Little did he know that Guo Hao was already kind enough to them, and he didn't care about minor problems, as long as he did not lose the general situation.

Moreover, Qiunan and Li Fu did not respond to the matter in Xiangzhou. Either the other party was too secretive, or the person was too special.

An hour later, the search at Wang Ying's house ended, which surprised Guo Hao. Wang Ying's family really didn't have much money.

"Just that's it, will there be somewhere else?"

Li Hui shook his head: "We have searched all the places related to Wang Ying, and it can be seen from the account book of Guangji Temple that there is indeed not much contact between Guangji Temple and the county government."

Guo Hao didn't believe it very much. Since he had not accepted bribes, why did Wang Ying cover up with Guangji Temple?

Although Zhao Kuangyin donated money to the temple, he rarely came here. Wang Ying wanted to please Zhao Kuangyin, so there was no need to do so.

It seems that the key to the problem is still in Guangji Temple. It must be because the person behind it is powerful, so Wang Ying dared not offend him.

"Wang Ying, tell me who instructed you? If you say it, I can give you a chance!"

"I……"

Wang Ying is in a dilemma now. This matter is indeed related to Zhao Kuangyin, but it was not instructed by Zhao Kuangyin, but his younger brother Zhao Tingmei.

Now that Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi are both in the army, Zhao Hongyin thought that all his sons should not be allowed to join the army and that eggs should not be placed in a basket.

Zhao Hongyin fought for a lifetime and knew the cruelty of the battlefield. Now that his two sons are leading troops to fight, an accident may not happen at any time.

So he asked Guo Hao, hoping that Zhao Tingmei could become a civil servant, so that the Zhao family would be both civil and military, and would gain a foothold in military and political affairs in the future.

However, Zhao Tingmei is still very young and does not meet the standards of the court's employment. Zhao Hongyin said he didn't mind the size of officials, so it would be better to let Zhao Tingmei exercise well.

Looking at Zhao Kuangyin's face, Guo Hao agreed and asked the Ministry of Personnel to arrange an official position and come to Fangzhou to become a magistrate.

After Zhao Tingmei arrived in Fangzhou, she first walked around and accidentally learned that her elder brother had lived in Guangji Temple, so she knew about Guangji Temple.

Zhao Tingmei felt it was boring for two years, but both Guo Hao and the Zhao family seemed to have forgotten him. Zhao Tingmei had a domineering and arrogant personality, so she became restless.

Just then, he heard how some temples in the south were made, so he also started to think about it and asked Guangyuan to start making money under the banner of Zhao Kuangyin.

Most of the money in Guangji Temple was spent in Zhao Tingmei's pockets. Zhao Kuangyin knew nothing about it. Qiunan and Li Fu wanted to win over Zhao Kuangyin, so no one said that.

Most of Guo Hao's inner guards are in the north and he really didn't pay attention to the south. If he hadn't happened to pass by this time, he would probably not have discovered the inside story.

With this relationship, no wonder Wang Ying didn’t dare to care, Du Song didn’t dare to say that if they offended Zhao Kuangyin, could they still have a good life?

After the founding of the country for a long time, some trends in the officialdom began to recover, and Guo Hao had no choice but to do so. Who made China like this since ancient times?

What made him most angry was that these people didn’t understand his ideas at all. Now that the country has only been established for more than ten years, this phenomenon has occurred. If it takes decades, it may not be like this.

Seeing that Guo Hao didn't speak, everyone was so angry that they didn't dare to breathe. Guo Hao was full of murderous aura at this time and wanted to kill Zhao Tingmei, but can kill Zhao Tingmei solve the problem?

Besides, Zhao Tingmei cannot be killed, otherwise the Zhao family will not be able to explain, and the officials related to him cannot be killed. After all, the matter is not that bad.

But Guo Hao's intention to kill is already on the rise, and it is impossible not to kill people. If he wants to curb this bad habit, it will depend on who is in trouble next.

"A man from here, I will pass on my will to remove Zhao Tingmei from his position as the magistrate of Fangzhou, and all his property will be confiscated and distributed to the northwest.

Wang Ying, the magistrate of Xiangzhou, was not good at being an official, harmed the people, and was exiled to Hainan. Du Song was not strict in his rule and was fined half a year's salary as a punishment!"

Guo Hao's order was issued, Du Song breathed a sigh of relief, Wang Ying sat on the ground, Zhao Tingmei was not present, but he had no choice.

At this time, the court did not know Guo Hao's decision, but if the cabinet ministers knew about this, they would understand Guo Hao's meaning.

Guo Hao finally made a fuss about the Zhao family. He didn't say anything about his exile in the Northwest, but who doesn't know that Zhao Kuangyi is now in the Northwest.

So Guo Hao still gave Zhao Tingmei a chance, and at the same time he also used this matter to hit the Zhao family. Zhao Tingmei is a troublemaker, so you'd better be optimistic.

The decree was issued, and someone rushed to Beijing and Fangzhou. Zhao Tingmei was shocked by the news. He had originally had Guangji Temple, but he thought life had become interesting. Unexpectedly, in a few days, he would go to the northwest to suffer.

When Zhao Kuangyin learned about this, he deliberately waited for Zhao Tingmei on the road, and after meeting, he slapped him in the face.
