On the first day when Qin Shiyi arrived in Ganzhou, he took over the government office and the garrison barracks with the emperor's sword in hand.
Most of the Ganzhou Battalion has left the camp to maintain the northward grain road, but the remaining troops and horses are enough to control the overall situation.
After fully taking over the administration and military of Ganzhou, Qin Shiyi began to investigate the corruption in Ganzhou. This investigation was devastating.
First of all, Qin Shiyi discovered that Ganzhou Xuanjian Division was corrupt, did not obey the instructions, and leaked the details of his investigation.
So on the third day, the Ganzhou Xuanjian Sifu Yamen was captured by the Ganzhou Battalion.
On the fourth day, Sicheng of Ganzhou Xuanjian Division and dozens of his subordinates were sent to Caishikou by Qin Shiyi with evidence of corruption and violation of law collected from the people.
There is no need to go through review by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple. Qin Shiyi is an imperial envoy, and holding the Emperor's sword, he can kill first and then report!
At this moment, Ganzhou officials truly realized that Qin Shiyi was serious.
No one dares to touch the Xuanjian Division as soon as they come up. Only Qin Shiyi dares to be so stubborn. This is why the emperor sent him here.
We must give Ganzhou a bright future.
On the fifth day, Qin Shiyi, who took the confession of the Xuanjian Division official, sent troops to surround the mansion of the prefectural government official.
All the yamen at all levels in Ganzhou, except for a few or two innocent ones, were all unable to be investigated and were neatly sent to the yamen dungeon.
Only one day later, enough evidence was found to convict them. Qin Shiyi showed no mercy and beheaded them all in public.
Only the fourth-grade palace was left behind and sent to the capital. This was to prevent others from saying that he had fabricated the facts and abused the power bestowed by the emperor.
As for the replacement candidates for the yamen officials at all levels in Ganzhou, they had already arrived with Qin Shiyi, and the county magistrates from the government office to each county were basically changed.
Those who could survive in Qin Shiyi's hands were not only those who had not committed any crime, but also those who had a particularly good reputation among the people.
Some who were complicit or failed to report the information could not escape, or at least were dismissed from their positions and imprisoned.
This operation made it difficult for the officials in Ganzhou to live, but the people gathered at the gate of the government office and shouted "Master Qingtian" and gave Qin Shiyi the Wanmin Umbrella.
It can be seen that these officials have been preying on the people for a long time.
And Qin Shiyi's evil reputation has been completely spread, and now everyone in the capital knows that he is killing people in Ganzhou.
The reputation of "Qin Yidao" has also completely spread.
There was a big earthquake in the officialdom, but the people of Ganzhou ushered in a new world.
Children's songs singing Qin Shiyi were quickly compiled and spread in the streets and alleys of Ganzhou.
People took to the streets and beat gongs and drums, as if they were returning to the clear sky.
At this time, officials who went to Suzhou stayed at Ganzhou Guanyi.
…
Qin Shiyi naturally learned about the disaster in Suzhou. Ganzhou was only two or three days away from Suzhou, and some refugees had already arrived near Ganzhou.
In Ganzhou, although the government has not ordered disaster relief, the Tai'an Chamber of Commerce has already given out porridge outside the city.
However, for the sake of Ganzhou's image, the original state officials did not allow these refugees to enter towns at all levels in Ganzhou and only allowed them to disperse outside.
These refugees have also become a factor of instability. When they have no food to eat, many people take desperate risks. As a result, outside Ganzhou City, there are more "bandits" who block the road and demand money and food.
But if you look closely, you will find that these robbers don't even have decent weapons, and they just pick up sticks.
Officials who went to Suzhou also used this as an excuse, saying that they were injured by the attack of refugees and wanted to stay in Ganzhou for a few days to recuperate.
When Qin Shiyi got the news, he was still dealing with the moths in the state capital and had no time to care about the officials passing by.
By the time he remembered it, two days had passed.
"Are the officials who went to Suzhou to reorganize the state government's yamen set off?" Qin Shiyi was reading the confessions of some prisoners. Someone mentioned Suzhou, and he remembered those people and asked casually.
The newly-appointed Master Xinfutai of the state capital on the side said quickly: "I have gone to see them, but they haven't set off yet. They said it was a difficult journey and they suffered a lot. Some people even fell ill."
"Is someone sick?" Qin Shiyi put down what he was doing and became concerned.
Futai: "A few days ago, a man was infected with lung disease during the trip, and his body was sent back to his hometown."
"In the past few days, officials have experienced frostbite, broken legs, strokes, and hemiplegia... Anyway, they all seem to be a little acclimated and have each suffered from some illness."
Qin Shiyi noticed something unusual: "Are you all sick?"
"Oh, there is a good one, Zhang Lili, the newly appointed master of Suzhou. He has no symptoms. But he is alone. It is useless even if he goes to Suzhou. We can only wait for these officials to recover and go on the road together."
Qin Shiyi also knew what he was saying.
"Have you asked the doctor to take a look?" Qin Shiyi asked.
Futai shook his head: "I don't know why, they don't seem to care about their own illness, but they still force their subordinates to hire doctors for them."
"Huh?" Qin Shiyi was suspicious.
He said: "Tomorrow morning, come with me to visit those adults."
…
The next day, Guanyi.
Qin Shiyi brought the new team of Ganzhou Prefecture Yamen to the place where Suzhou officials were staying.
But I heard whispers in the room.
"The doctor said that my foot will be healed in a few days, and I can't hold it any longer."
"Is the old Chinese medicine doctor in Ganzhou so good? I had a fracture, and he actually connected it for me. It doesn't hurt anymore... How can I still get sick?"
"Master Zhang, is it your turn to get sick?"
Listening to the words in the room that were calling for business, Qin Shiyi's face suddenly became uncertain.
"The official has never informed them that they will be coming today..." Ganzhou Futai said calmly.
Qin Shiyi understood that he was afraid that the government had already known that the calculations of these Suzhou officials were just for him to witness in person.
After all, it would be very unfavorable to mention something without evidence in front of the superior, and snitching would not be liked in any situation.
If Qin Shiyi had not deliberately broken this scene, the government should have informed Suzhou officials long ago and prepared to welcome the imperial envoy early this morning.
"Bang--"
Qin Shiyi suddenly opened the door, startling all the officials inside.
"who!?"
"presumptuous!"
Everyone in the room subconsciously scolded them, thinking that the inn clerk did not understand the rules. But when they saw the newly appointed Master of the Futai, and he was only standing behind a middle-aged official, everyone felt that something was wrong.
"This lord is..." Zhang Daoli was shocked. How much did they hear about everyone's conversation just now?
Qin Shiyi held the Emperor's sword in his hand and said coldly: "I, Qin Shiyi, the Censor of Zuodu, Censor, have come to Ganzhou to investigate evil spirits under the emperor's order!"
"But I didn't expect that I missed some of you scum!"
"Lord Qin?" Zhang Lili, Feng Bin and others were immediately stunned and glared at Ganzhou Futai.
Why didn't you notify me in advance that such a big shot was coming?
Qin Shiyi was too lazy to say anything. He heard everything he should have heard just now and directly ordered: "Get it for me!"
"yes!"
The Ganzhou government police officers who were waiting behind came forward and detained all the dozen or so people in the room.
Qin Shiyi took a deep look at Ganzhou Futai and nodded to him with satisfaction.
"Master Yu, you are well prepared," Qin Shiyi said.
Of course he could see that this Yu Huaiyin must have done it on purpose, just to get rid of these incompetent Suzhou officials.
Otherwise, they would not have not notified them, and even the police officers who arrested these officials would have prepared so many people in advance.
"Master Qin, Master Imperial Envoy, what are you doing, and which royal law have we violated?" Feng Bin struggled and was forced to lower his voice, but he still had to ask with all his strength.
Zhang Lidu said nothing. He expected that the conversation just now had been heard clearly and he had no face to argue.
"Which royal law did you break?"
"You have been greedy and derelict in your duties, betrayed the imperial court's holy grace, ignored the victims of the Suzhou disaster and the people, and wasted years of reading the books of sages. How can you be recommended to an official position with such a face and character?"
Qin Shiyi said coldly: "I would like to check carefully who are the people behind your recommendation!"
Qin Shiyi not only wanted to capture these losers, he also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity of having great power to investigate and deal with those who recommended them as officials.
If a person with such a character can pass the examination, he will naturally have to pay for it. Nowadays, the method of selecting talents in the world mostly adopts the Zhongzheng system, and the imperial examination has just begun.
The newcomers who entered the court as officials were all supported by aristocratic families or local factions.
The nature of the Zhongzheng system means that this kind of recommendation is highly subjective and extremely difficult to be fair and strict.
However, Qin Shiyi would not let go of such a useless person.
