"Not only that, Linjing County Yamen not only refused to accept insect eggs. After we could no longer bear to beat the drum outside the county Yamen, the county magistrate refused to come out to see him. Instead, the yamen runners came out to drive us away with sticks. Dear Shangguan, we are all veterans who serve the country, how can we bear this anger? Several pavilions fought with the yamen runners and were arrested. Brother Huang and I were not afraid of trouble, but felt that there was something wrong here and we must let Shangguan know. So we swallowed our anger and sneaked away for today!"

Before Liu Ming finished speaking, Kara sounded two times in the audience seat. However, two old men Jiang Wei and Zhang Yi both broke the armrests of the new seats. Zhang Yi stood up with a flushed face, and rushed to Zhang Hui in an instant and kicked him hard: "A man! How brave! How dare you treat the warrior who serves the country like this! Is it not good to bully our general's sword?"

"Bao~~! Being arrogant, how can you lynch yourself in the court? General of the chariot and cavalry, please leave!"

"Hmph! A man, I will definitely give you a good look later!" Zhang Yi, who was still in anger, had not completely lost his mind, and knew that his actions just now were inappropriate. He hurriedly bowed to the people in the hall and left hurriedly.

"Two pavilions, where did you go next?"

"Report to Shangguan, we immediately transferred to the prefect's office to ask for the prefect Chang."

"Chang Xu, the official who led the offender!"

Then Chang Xu, who was brought up, cursed at Chang Ji as soon as he came to the court: "Chang Maotong, you are a cunning and mean cruel official! For the sake of your reputation, you even dare to frame your own brother! I am afraid that it is not that you will not be able to enter the ancestral hall in the future!"

"Hmph, Chang Xu, your relationship with me is at home. In this court, there is only official business. I ask you, do you recognize these two?"

"I have a lot of work all day long, how can I write down everyone one by one?"

"Can you recognize it?"

"I don't know!"

"Shan, two pavilions, you beat the drums of the prefect's house. Will the prefect meet?"

"No!"

"Then what happened after you beat the drum?"

"Report to all the officials, after we beat the drum, the soldiers of the prefect's palace came out to receive it quickly and immediately spread it to the inside. But soon they came back and told me that the prefect was still lying in the mansion and had not yet got up. The prefect asked us to come again tomorrow."

"Then did you go the next day?"

Speaking of this, the two pavilions smiled bitterly: "Shangguan, before we walked away from the prefect's mansion, we saw the yamen runners from Linjing County chasing us. How dare you go again the next day? No matter how, I can only escape from Linjing County immediately and head straight to Hanzhong."

"Why did you go to Hanzhong?"

"We had our former comrades in the army, and we were the ones who served as Chief Qu in the army. Only after he was supported by us did we quickly get in touch with us."

"Is this a crime infringing officials Chang Xu? Is this a matter? I'll bring it to you truthfully!"

Chang Xu's face changed, but finally sighed: "It's true that this happened. It was winter that day, and it was cold. I suffered from wind and cold that day and it was difficult to get up. So I asked them to come again tomorrow. But I definitely did not inform Linjing County Government..."

"Bao~~! The offender Chang Xu, the offender Qiao Xi, the Prime Minister Zhuge, and the Grand Sima Guan repeatedly declared that each yamen must set up a big drum. When the drum sounds, as long as the chief official is still in the official yamen, as long as he is not dying of illness, he must get up immediately and open the door to meet the case. What did you do? Can you tell me your guilt?"

"…Chang Xu knew the crime."

"Qiao Xi is not convinced! That day, the officials were not in the yamen at all. Even if they beat the drum, how could they know?"

"Hmph! Of course you are not in the yamen! I visited Linjing for half a month privately. The local people said that you traveled all day long and sang to each other with the children of local aristocratic families. You almost never work in the county government office and handed over all the affairs to the county magistrate. When did you stay in the county government again?"

"this……"

"Hmph! Let's talk about your two things for now. There are other crimes to be investigated later. Zhang Hui, do you know the crime?"

"The officials... the officials strictly control the standards in order not to waste the country's wealth. What crimes are there? Of course, in this process, they are a little stricter, but this is a minor matter..."

It can be said that Zhang Hui's methods are commonly used by the great families throughout the ages - the more the country encounters danger, the more famine the people encounter. The more a good opportunity for the great families to expand.

There was a major disaster in Guanzhong, and there was no harvest. At first, Sima Yan imported disaster relief food here. After Ji Han took control of the place, he implemented the policy of changing the food for insect eggs. Objectively speaking, these policies were extremely unfavorable to the aristocratic families. When the people had food, they would not sell their land to survive, nor would they sell themselves to the manors of the aristocratic families to surrender. In this way, the once-in-a-lifetime expansion opportunity would slip away!

Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity that Qiao Xi was extremely impatient and not good at handling common affairs. Zhang Hui gained Qiao Xi's trust through superficial flattery and successfully stole all the powers in the county. Then, through various means, the people in the county could not survive. After that, the Zhang family's manor would naturally come out to be a good person. Now, it's not that I want to expand, but that I can't survive if I don't expand.

In the whole process, there was no corruption or bribery, no false accounts. There was only one flaw in the law enforcement. In fact, it is not wrong to say that Zhang Hui was full of his personal pockets and the villagers were not wrong. However, in terms of law, there was insufficient evidence!

"Hmph, Zhang Hui, you still have to resist stubbornly. I asked you, when the people of Linjing County see that you do not collect insect eggs, they want to cross mountains and ridges to carry the insect eggs to the adjacent county to pay for payment. How did you do it?"

"Of course, we have to send yamen runners to stop them. We can't let them deceive the officials in neighboring counties."

"The people are angry. What do you do if you have a conflict with the yamen runners?"

"In order to save public funds, the number of runners in each county is relatively small. When forced, the subordinate officials sent slaves from the manor to help runners maintain order."

"Then what?"

"Then, all these unruly people went back."

"Hmph, it's really a cunning and shameless person! Come on, bring the witness Wang San."

"Kaomin Wang San, please pay homage to all the officials."

"Wang San, where are you from? What kind of business do you do?"

"Caomin is a local person from Anfengting, Linjing County, who makes a living by farming. Before this year, Caomin had more than 20 mu of land in his home, and Caomin, his mother, wife, and son, and a total of four people."

"What happened to your pavilion after the county government refused to accept your pupil after the pavilion commander was forced to escape?"

"Report to all Shangguans, because the insect eggs were rejected. There was no food in the pavilion. In order not to starve to death, the Jingzhuang in the pavilion carried the insect eggs to the next county under the guidance of the pavilion leader, thinking about whether it could be collected there. As a result, more than ten men of our group were ambushed by the men from the Zhangjia Manor on the road. Seven of them were beaten to death on the spot. Even the son of the pavilion leader, who was only sixteen years old, was also beaten to death. Caomin was hit by a stick on his head and rolled down the mound. After waking up, he quietly returned to the T pavilion and hid. Then he always worked in private visits to our pavilion..."

"Hahaha." Looking at Zhang Hui who was trembling, Chang Ji smiled cruelly: "I didn't expect there would be fish that missed the net? Do you want to say that this is the troublemaker I have found to frame you? Should I take you to the mound of seven people buried in Linjing County to take a look? Should I ask this Wang San to come to your manor to identify those evil slaves? Should I invite the victims who are now forced to join your manor to come to court one by one?"

Looking at Zhang Hui who was already limp, Chang Ji slapped the awkward again: "In the sixth year of Yanxing, Linjing County Government refused to accept the worm eggs of the victims in disguise. The relevant officials blundered the national policy of providing relief to the victims and forced the victims to sell themselves as slaves to come to an end. Come on, let these criminals sign and seal! Next, the spring farming in Linjing County and Anding County was not valid, and the case of ineffective jumping was investigated and eliminated."

With the most core figure in this series of cases, Zhang Hui's spiritual defense was defeated. The next case was much smoother to hear. But the more this happened, the more frightened and angry the people who were listening.

In Linjing's spring plowing, all the oxes sent from Chang'an entered the Zhang family's manor. No ordinary people were given any of them.

The curved plow technology was not organized to come to the county government to study in a concentrated manner.

The investigation of the jumping balls gathered and investigated, and Linjing County was not carried out at all. The prefect of Anding County was also lazy and ineffective. The spring plowing, promotion of the curved plow technology and investigation of the jumping balls in all counties in Anding County all depended on the conscience and sense of responsibility of the county magistrates of each county.

Not only that, Linjing County Government did have corruption in the process of collecting insect eggs: it made things difficult for the insect eggs of Han people, and in addition to making things difficult for the insect eggs handed over by foreign races, it also bought them at a low price.

At the same time, during this year's spring plowing, the Juqu Ministry, which grazed in Linjing County, repeatedly warned the Linjing County Government and the Anding Prefecture's Office. It stated that in some places with sparse vegetation, there were jumping groups beginning to gather. However, the county and county governments responded extremely slowly.

The prefect of Anding, Chang Xu, and the governor of Linjing County, Qiao Xi, were not just about the issue of being lazy and lazy. They have repeatedly accepted property, servants and maids from local families (mainly Zhang Hui). After investigation, the cumulative amount has reached nearly three million...

"In summary, the supervisor's suggestions for handling the above many criminals are: Zhang Hui, the governor of Linjing County, beheaded and confiscated his home. The evil slaves who committed crimes under his command, who were killed by someone, were beheaded. All the land and servants in his manor were included in the national list. Qiao Xi, the governor of Linjing County, accepted bribes, was lazy and inaction, was dismissed, confiscated, and was fined one million yuan. Chang Xu, the prefect of Anding, accepted bribes, was lazy and confiscated, was fined two million yuan! Do you have any objections to all the officials?"

Ganling King Liu Yong sighed: "Entertainment of punishment is fair, no objection. What does Grand Sima think? Well, Grand Sima?"
