Seeing the sudden appearance of the figure, several people finally let go of their hanging hearts. The familiar figure and the straightforward style, how could everyone not recognize who this person is?
Luo Wu, the supreme commander of the Jinyi Guards, the commander of the garrison, and the personal bodyguard of Qin Huaidao. Several people thought that since they had secretly followed Wang Shengzhi on this trip, Luo Wu would not come. Now it seems that they were wrong.
Qin Huaidao looked at the figure and breathed a sigh of relief, he finally arrived.
After meeting, several people looked at each other and smiled.
"Now it seems that His Majesty has won. Even Luo Wu has been transferred as a back-up. It can be said that he has planned the strategy with every detail." Cheng Chumo said with a smile.
"Call me Brother Qin." Qin Huaidao lowered his voice: "Cheng Chumo, I don't want to emphasize this matter anymore. If you do it again, you can return to Chang'an to be your military honorary and powerful person. Don't join me."
The identity of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty will only be exposed when it is time to be exposed. At other times, it is best to hide it.
What he said scared Cheng Chumo so much that he begged for mercy again and again, fearing that Qin Huaidao was serious and wouldn't let him play anymore. If he really ran back to Chang'an and lived in those big houses every day without being able to get out, he would have to go to court to meet with the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Law.
Who can stand the airs of the top ten generals played by the officials?
After this scare, now not only Cheng Chumo but also Fang Yiai and others have remembered this request.
The county captain was tied up tightly. After regaining consciousness on the first day of the new year, he looked at these important figures in front of him and couldn't laugh or cry.
The big shots in Chang'an would sometimes say they were, and then lie to him and say they weren't. Do big shots all like to play like this?
There were small complaints, but more importantly, he was happy. He had bet on the right card. The moment the county captain's sword was swung at him, he was completely freed from the sinful body and followed these big shots.
, it is not certain that there will be better opportunities in the future.
As for the county magistrate and county captain, in his opinion, they are all worthy of death.
After asking the first graders, they found out that the kidnapped person was the Lantian County Captain, so they tortured the County Lieutenant who had done all kinds of bad things.
The county lieutenant stopped pretending. This was a case he and the county magistrate had committed together. In the spirit of a dead Taoist friend but a poor Taoist, he sold the county magistrate and others backhand, just to save his family.
He is also a cheerful person.
After learning what happened in Lantian County, Qin Huaidao and these generals became angry.
County magistrates are called parent officials. First, because the imperial power does not extend to the county. Although they are prefectures and counties, their power in the county is infinitely magnified without being under jurisdiction. They can be called local emperors. Second, they can easily decide the life and death of the people.
Apart from anything else, a large sum of money can be collected by just making an imperial order in the county. As for investigating the authenticity of the imperial order, who can do it except those big shots?
If we really want to take action against him, before the court comes to deal with it, the person who complained and his whole family will be secretly executed by the county magistrate, and then it will be made into a murder case without any evidence. The best result is nothing more than a situation of death and destruction. It is not worth the risk.
Therefore, the quality of a place depends entirely on the quality of its local officials.
Over the years, local governments have implemented policies and implemented policies, and a tacit understanding has been formed with local officials. Everyone should get what they want, but don't go too far. You need to have your cake and eat it too, after all, the people also need a way to survive.
As long as the county magistrate maintains superficial stability and does some shady things behind the scenes, there will basically be no problems.
It's just that times have changed. The establishment of the Han Dynasty and the introduction of the concept of equality for all have made all officials who were immersed in the old routine period panic. The fittest will survive, and the unfit can only find other ways out within their own creed.
Qin Huaidao left Luo Wu to stare at the county captain and Chu Yi, and took the remaining people into the woods to discuss what to do next.
"The matter is already very clear. The magistrate of Lantian County colluded with the county captain. I estimate that the entire Lantian County officials are rotten and need to be vigorously rectified." Qin Huaidao said.
"Remediation?" After hearing these two words, several people became excited. They may not be good at asking them to talk about words, but if it comes to fighting or something, not many people in the whole group can suppress them.
Cheng Chumo asked: "What kind of rectification method?"
Qin Huaidao smiled softly: "Isn't Luo Wu here? Wang Shengzhi's sniper regiment apparently has other tasks and needs to lurk. Luo Wu's garrison can be used from morning to night. When I transferred him, I asked him to
I brought a group of confidants with me."
Cheng Chumo and Luo Zhang understood instantly. Only Fang Yiai hadn't figured out the situation yet. He asked Qin Huaidao: "So what should we do?"
"It's easy, rush into Lantian County, arrest the county magistrate, and rectify the administration!"
The cold moon is like a knife, hanging high in the night.
The magistrate of Lantian County woke up suddenly in the government office. For some reason, after the magistrate went out tonight, he kept feeling flustered, as if something unknown was about to happen.
The imperial court has just recently finished the enthronement and imperial examinations, and is undergoing drastic reforms. According to usual practice, it will take half a year to conduct an inventory of various places, so he still has a lot of time to make money quickly.
It's just that His Majesty is not the same as before, and the changes he has made are astonishing. Even the county magistrate is not sure whether the old rules will work.
The bright moon hangs in the sky, and it is now setting in the west. It will be dawn soon, and the county captain has not returned yet, so maybe there is an accident on the way.
Fortunately, the county magistrate is also someone who has experienced strong winds and waves. Even if there is an accident, it should not be a big deal. As long as the government troops on the state road do not come, he will have a chance to escape.
Perhaps it is difficult to catch people tonight, and it is unknown that the county captain will return late.
With a sense of luck, the magistrate kept pacing the inner court, not even thinking of wearing a formal robe.
At this moment, a city guard came to report.
"Your Excellency, the County Magistrate, the County Lieutenant has returned."
"That's great, I'll welcome you personally." The county magistrate was overjoyed. He grabbed a piece of clothing, put it on and hurried out. He made up his mind to stop working after catching this batch. He would collect more Lantian jade and stay away from this place.
Change your identity and have a happy life.
Climbing to the top of the city, the county magistrate felt a little relieved when he actually saw the black cavalry wearing mountain demon masks outside the city. Each of these black cavalry had a person tied to the back of the horse. Among them, the person captured by the county magistrate was tall.
He is strong and has the mold of a top-notch worker.
It's just that he always felt something was wrong.
In order to be safe, the county magistrate shouted down: "Who is coming?"
At this time, the county captain was held back by Luo Wu, who was disguised as a laborer, with a dagger. When he saw the county magistrate again, he still questioned himself and couldn't help but cursed.
"Can't you recognize me? Magistrate Zhang."
Sure enough it was him.
The county magistrate was overjoyed and quickly ordered the city guards to open the city gate. After the city gate was opened, these black cavalry filed in and poured into all directions of the county.
