Chapter 28 Dongzhi in Distress Next
He fought and retreated to the wall. Finally, he didn't have to be attacked on all sides. Yunye whispered to Hong Yu, "You protect the military division, I'll kill those two leaders." With that, I was about to get up,
At this time, the sound of the opening of the gong came from afar,
Zhe's face changed and there was a roar. Several villains and the officer fled. Those who were stunned for a moment, stopped one after another, and looked at the back of the officer running away at a loss.
Soon, a team of people arrived quickly, led by the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and the Supervision Department. They had just entered the city on the agreed day. When they heard the people's comments about the chaos here, everyone was afraid that it was related to the military division, so they rushed over immediately.
He Ran didn't have time to talk to them. He ordered Hong Yu, "Go and hunt down the two bastards."
Looking at the more than 200 guards on guard, He Ran had a bottom in his heart. With these two hundred people alone, even the defenders of Dongzhi City rebelled together, it was not enough to be afraid.
The officials were shocked to hear Yunye's story, and asked the military division to leave the city temporarily and quickly mobilized the surrounding people in case of an accident.
He Ran shook his head gently and sent the order, "Ret to the east gate and guard according to the city." Then he took out the military charm and gave it to the herdsman, and ordered him to quickly adjust the people of the surrounding cities to help,
The general of the East Gate couldn't help but panic when he saw the adults who had just entered the city and returned. The servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice ordered loudly, "The military division has a life. You should give up the East Gate as soon as possible and escort around."
I heard that the military division actually arrived here. How dare the guard say more? He hurriedly led the soldiers down the tower,
He Ran stopped him and said, "You go to the Zhongzhou inspector An Li, the city guard Zuo Yu and the city jurisdiction to come to see me."
Seeing this popularity, the general expected to be a military division. He was frightened and made a promise and ran to the city.
When he went to the tower, He Ran felt that his back pain was unbearable. The accompanying military doctor hurriedly bandaged him to stop the bleeding. Mingqin Chaduo's soul could not help crying beside him,
He Ran smiled at her with pain and said, "It's fine. Don't worry about it."
After the dressing, He Ran sat on the seat spread on the horse road with a pale face. The officials stared at the official road below angrily on both sides, waiting for the arrival of the officials of Dongzhi City.
The spy of the surveillance department who was cut off has died. He Ran called the other two and asked, "Have you found anything these days?"
One person said: "The people here have been threatened and dare not talk about the Bai brothers. We bribed a few bold people with money. According to them, the rich businessman Jinhu made friends with the government and always bullied the city. It was clear that he wanted to buy Bai Er's house with seventy taels of silver, but in private, he only gave seven taels, and the rest was After paying later, the Bai brothers naturally did not do it. Jinhu ordered the slaves to beat the Bai brothers. The two of them rose up to resist, resulting in a murder.
Another person reported: "We have verified that at least nine officials in Dongzhi City have received bribes from Jinhu, and the officialdom is dirty. Many former dignitaries who are tired of evil deeds have not been dealt with, but have bought official positions and continue to be on the evil side."
He Ran said lightly, "You don't have to hide the scandals in your supervision department. It's so dirty. The Zhongzhou Inspection Department can't escape. You haven't heard of anything, have you?"
The two looked at each other and reported, "In the situation we have found, the Patrol Department has done nothing. Some people have reported that they are in the same way as the government of Dongzhicheng to protect each other."
"This is an obvious thing." He Ran pointed to the left court of the supervision department, "Go and report it to your master of the left court in detail."
Zuo Yuan Fuxi's face was extremely ugly. He took the two of them aside and asked them carefully.
After waiting for less than a cup of tea, Zuo Yan, the city guard, came in a panic. He had heard that the military division almost died in the city. He ran to the tower to see this situation, and his legs were soft and knelt on the ground, and his face was like dust that he couldn't say a word.
He Ran said coldly, "Lord Zuo, it seems that you are guilty."
Zuo Yu said in a trembling voice, "The lower official has no governance and is not good at eliminating evil, so that the military division is in danger in the eastern border, and the lower official is guilty of death."
He Ran snorted coldly and said, "It turns out that you don't know sin yet."
At this time, An Li, the inspectors of Zhongyu and Zhongzhou under the jurisdiction of the city, came one after another. When they saw Zuo Yu kneeling on the ground, the two of them couldn't help kneeling down,
He Ran took a look at Zhongyu's clothes and said, "You are under the jurisdiction of Dongzhi City."
Zhongyu hurriedly replied, "Yes, subordinate Zhongyu."
He Ran stared at him and asked, "Who was the murderer just now?"
At this time, Zhong Yu, who interrogated those villains, happened to pass by. Seeing that Zhong Yu couldn't answer, he said, "One is Zhe Huang, and the one who leads the soldiers is a leader, called armor." Then he fell in He Ran's ear and said, "The person whose wrist was cut off is Zong Huang's best friend. He has confessed that Zong Huang and Zong Jia are sworn brothers. Zong Huang's two brothers joined the Shun army and died in the war one after another. He hated the military division to the bone. This time, he hit the opportunity and wanted to avenge his two brothers to the death."
He Ran nodded slightly. He knew that if there was no reason, these people would not have acted like this,
Hearing that it was his subordinates who committed the murder, Zhongyu's face immediately turned pale,
He Ran said, "You really have two ways to lead the army, and your men are very brave."
Zhongyu stammered, "Slower...Slower official doesn't know, these two people...the two people..."
He Ran interrupted harshly, "Why don't you go and arrest me quickly?"
Zhongyu said that his legs were weak and he couldn't stand up. He adjusted his body and climbed two steps before he could stand up. He staggered away,
An Li, who was kneeling beside him, saw that the military division's eyes turned to him, and he couldn't help shivering. Relying on his familiarity with the military division, he squeezed out a smile and said, "I don't know that the military division is coming in person, and I haven't had time to welcome the military division to forgive me. This is not the place to speak. Please ask the military division to the government office."
He Ran looked at him with a smile and said, "I dare not do this. Although my military division has been in the army for many years, he has seen countless dangerous and fierce positions, and he is not small. But this Dongzhi City is governed by you like a Longtan Tiger Cave. I have tasted it. The blood on my back has not stopped. How can I dare to enter again?"
An Li lowered his head with a guilty heart,
He Ran raised his voice and said, "Lord An, with your loyalty, the king entrusted the important task of the inspectors of the five cities in Zhongzhou. You didn't do anything to be ashamed of the king."
An Li's forehead showed a layer of sweat, and her body began to tremble slightly,
He Ran looked at Zuo Yu again and said, "Think about it, do you want to talk to the general when you go back, or plead guilty here? As you all know, I rarely treat people with nine clans, but if you want me to be too consuming, don't blame me for being merciless."
When Zuo Yan heard the words, he knelt down and took two steps, trembling all over and said, "I confess my guilt."
He Ran said coldly, "You'd better think about it all, so that I don't find out that there is a concealment." With that, he ordered the officials of the Supervision Department, "Let him stay first and let him write down all the guilt by himself."
After escorting Zuo Yu, he turned to An Li again, "What about you?"
An Li saw that Zuo Yu had given in, and it was useless for him to carry it to death. He said sadly, "I want to see the king."
He Ran shook his head and said, "It's really beyond my expectation. How can you face the king?"
An Li knew that he would die and did not kneel down. He sat sideways on the ground and looked at him and said, "I took some bribes, but in the past, what I did was still a clean official. Of course, I am worthy of meeting the king. If you have the courage, let me impeach you face to face. Your new policy has no way for the officials to live. You should be here. Do adults sincerely support the new policy? They just have to give in to you.
When Zhong Qian saw that his words were rude, he wanted to come forward and do it.
He Ran raised his hand to stop him, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Oh, is that so?" With his eyes on both sides, he glanced at the officials standing on both sides,
Fu Xi, the left court of the Supervision Department, said angrily, "At this time, you still say such a thing. The face of the Supervision Department has been lost by you. Don't think that everyone is greedy for money like you. The Supervision Department is mostly clean under Lord Kou. It's the first time I've seen you like this."
Qi Yan, the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, snorted and said, "Lord An, you'd better not talk about me in it. I dare not say anything about others. Before, I was just a small official. I did my duty and promoted to the servant step by step. I am very sorry for the kindness of the court. I dare not make a wrong step every day, so I dare not mention it, but the integrity dared to patted on the chest. I sincerely support the New Deal. Although I am not good at learning, I also know how to benefit the people. Those who have never had the New Deal in the ages, and those who are dedicated to the people will support the New Deal. These colleagues around me all think like salt as expected.
The officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice nodded in agreement, and the officials of the Supervision Department also looked at An Li with a sneer,
An Li laughed wildly and said, "Under his ** power, you naturally want to say this, timid little people."
He Ran looked at him coldly and said, "What you say is people like you who care about the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. If you have your own heart, you think that the hearts of officials in the world are dirty."
"Do you dare to let me meet the king?" An Li asked around his neck,
He Ran smiled and said, "How dare you do this? Since you think there is nothing wrong with your actions, write down everything that should be written first. It's better not to hide anything, so as not to find out that even the king's face will be lost by you in the future. If you dare to do it, you won't refuse this."
An Li's chest heaved violently and thought for a while, "I dare to bear what I do, and I won't admit what others have framed."
He Ran smiled and said, "Listening to this, you feel guilty and framed. Only those who always want to frame others are always beware of being framed by others. If you really hide the corruption, I will find all the evidence for you. At that time, it depends on the size of your guilt. Don't blame me. Give you a chance."
An Li stared straight at the ground and bit his lips. It seemed that he was making a difficult trade-off in his heart.
He Ran said to the servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, "Leave his matter to your Ministry of Criminal Justice. Although I don't doubt the members of the Supervision Department, it's better to avoid it."
Cry salt ordered his men to take An Li down to look at him,
