Chapter 91 Di is here to rectify the officialdom and investigate major cases!
"To report to the Heavenly Lord, the Little God and others have helped Han Xiangzi eradicate the Qi'er Sect and resolve the calamity, so I came here to deliver the order."
The red-faced God King and others came to the Miaoyan Palace and bowed down to worship the Taiyi God-Saving God who was sitting on the nine-color lotus.
"You are tired, but it is hard work. If you give widely, you should be rewarded with blessings."
Seeing this, Taiyi, Lord of the Sufferings, nodded slightly and said with satisfaction.
After saying this, the red-faced God King and others were overjoyed.
To be able to receive such praise from the Heavenly Lord, I think this trip to the human world will be very successful.
After a while, several people stopped disturbing them, exited Miaoyan Palace, and returned to Qingxuan Zuofu.
……
It's night.
While Han Xiangzi was sitting cross-legged on a futon with his eyes closed and meditating, he suddenly felt something in his heart and looked up at the canary flying outside the house.
With a casual move, the canary landed.
Han Xiangzi took off the letter from its leg, opened it and looked at it carefully.
"Oh, they actually sent Duke Di to Weizhou to investigate the Qi family's case. It seems that the imperial court is more concerned about this matter than I imagined..."
After reading the letter from Zhou Governor, Han Xiangzi lowered his head, thoughtfully.
Han Xiangzi was already familiar with the name of Di Gong, whether in his previous life or in this life.
When he was still in Chang'an, his great-uncle Han Yu praised him highly.
It is said that he is a minister of the dragon and governs the world. One Kui of Di Gong is enough.
Although it is suspected of exaggeration, it still shows that Di Gong is an important minister of the country.
Han Xiangzi can rest assured that the case of the Qi family will be investigated and handled by him.
Of course, Han Xiangzi naturally did not give up on Zhou's request for help.
After briefly recalling the criminal evidence of the Qi family collected in the past few days, as well as what Taoist Bai Xu, Elder Hongying and others saw and heard during their visit to Weizhou, Han Xiangzi felt a little ink, so he wrote a letter in detail and wrote to
Sent by Governor Zhou.
However, the place he sent this time was not Qizhou, but Weizhou!
……
Three days later.
That Zhou Yan led three servants and arrived in Weizhou.
As soon as he came to Weizhou, he rushed to find out about Duke Di.
He was afraid that Judge Dee would arrive before him.
Fortunately, after some inquiries, we found out that Mr. Di Ge had not arrived in Weizhou yet
Now, Duke Di has not arrived, and Zhou Yan does not have the imperial edict in hand, so it is inconvenient to rush to the capital of Weizhou.
Therefore, Zhou Yan could only walk around the streets and alleys of Weizhou City to find out from the people what the reputation of the Qi family was like.
As a result, those who questioned them shook their heads and sighed when they heard about the Qi clan.
It is said that the Qi clan often acted arrogantly and bullied the market. They not only forced good people into prostitution, but also acted violently.
What's more important is that the Qi clan colluded with the Weizhou Prefecture and cleverly set up tax items. In addition to the necessary taxes and commercial taxes issued by the court, they also collected other taxes, exorbitant levies and miscellaneous taxes.
This has also caused the people of this state to suffer terribly.
Anyway...
Whenever the Qi family is mentioned, there are always complaints.
After half a day, Zhou Yan was shocked.
I thought that the last time Qizhou suffered a disaster caused by three foxes, making the people miserable, it was already terrible.
Clinker is even worse in Weizhou!
The aristocratic families are here to promote the way of kingship and act alone.
Looking at it this way, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away.
Suddenly, Zhou Yan was filled with emotions.
……
In the evening of that day, when Zhou Yan was preparing to find a posthouse to rest, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves on the street, and the shouts continued.
Suddenly, the crowd became commotion and crowded.
Zhou Yan looked up and saw a school captain riding a tall horse, holding a whip, shouting loudly on the street, asking the people to vacate the venue.
Behind him, hundreds of soldiers sprinted out with spears in hand, lined up on both sides, and headed straight to the city gate.
After half a stick of incense, some sharp-eyed people saw the officials of Weizhou, big and small, walking toward the city gate in a panic.
"What's going on?"
"Did any important people come to Weizhou for such a big battle?"
"I heard that an imperial minister was sent here from the imperial court, but I don't know if it's true or not?"
"Who is the imperial envoy?"
"Who knows?"
"..."
All the people crowded together and talked a lot.
When Zhou Yan heard this, he already understood.
I'm afraid this Di Ge Lao has come to Weizhou!
Thinking of this, he and his servant walked towards the city gate.
When he arrived at the gate of the city, he found that all officials from Weizhou, big and small, had gathered here. Many of them had sad faces and looked worried.
Obviously, what is the situation in Weizhou now?
These officials know it very well.
The imperial minister who came here this time is the famous Di Renjie!
Prime minister of the world, assistant minister of the generation!
Everyone still doesn’t know what a big event happened in Weizhou, but the imperial court actually asked Mr. Di Ge to take the trouble to come here?
Thinking about this, everyone is also uneasy and on tenterhooks.
In such anxiety, I waited for a quarter of an hour.
Suddenly, there was a puff of smoke in the distance.
Not long after, a carriage, escorted by hundreds of Qianniu Guards, slowly drove into the city gate.
"Qianniuwei?"
Seeing the troops escorting the carriage, the pupils of Weizhou officials, big and small, suddenly shrank.
These Qianniu Guards are the guards of the emperor’s relatives!
At this moment, looking at the carriage, there is no doubt that it is Duke Dee.
Thinking of this, officials of all sizes in Weizhou knelt down towards the carriage.
Among them, the governor of Weizhou even spoke in a long voice:
"I will lower my official position to be the governor of Weizhou, Qi Changzhen, and lead the governor of Weizhou, Sima, and others to respond to their subordinates and come to see the imperial envoy!"
The words fell.
The curtain of the carriage opened and an old man walked out.
He was wearing a blue and gray robe, with a fat body and kind eyes, and a dull look.
The brows may seem peaceful and kind, but in reality there is hidden danger. Once the gentleness on the surface recedes, a terrifying storm will follow!
"Everyone, please stand up!"
When Di Renjie saw this scene, he raised his hands and smiled.
Say it.
Only then did everyone stand up.
Afterwards, Di Renjie looked around at the people in the city, then at the officials from Weizhou, big and small, before he said loudly:
"Di Renjie, a native of Bingzhou, has been favored by the saints. He is now the deposed envoy of Jiannan Road and the governor of Weizhou. He is ordered to promote all important military and political affairs in Weizhou, rectify the administration of officials, and investigate major cases."
The words fell.
The faces of Qi Changzhen and others suddenly changed, and they suddenly became frightened.
I thought Di Renjie was just here for a patrol.
Unexpectedly, now he has become a deposed envoy, coming to Weizhou to rectify the administration of officials!
When you think about the current state of Weizhou?
Qi Changzhen and other officials felt their backs were dripping with sweat and felt weak.
"Di Renjie?"
"Is he the famous detective Di Renjie?"
"Be careful!"
"He is Duke Di, how can we call him by his first name?"
"It is said that Mr. Di Ge loves the people like his own son and is upright. Now that he has come to Weizhou, we can be saved!"
"..."
After Di Renjie introduced himself, the people in that state were immediately excited and in an uproar.
Hearing the voices of people talking, and observing his words and expressions, he found that all officials in Weizhou looked suspicious and fearful when facing him, Di Renjie suddenly came to his senses.
Chapter completed!
