Chapter 174 I Don't Believe That Chu Xian Is So Amazing

Next, Lu Jianzhi called out the names of several officials. With Hou Jing as a lesson learned from the past, they all came out on their knees and confessed their crimes.

These are all in important positions, but they are not greedy enough. Some of them are Hou Jing's party. This time, nearly half of the officials in Zhenxi City were arrested.

This time, the officialdom of the entire Zhenxi City was considered a big cleansing, and it was not easy for those who survived. Many people secretly rejoiced that they did not do evil and were not greedy, otherwise, they would definitely not be able to escape this time.

After arresting the guilty officials, the next step is to reward the meritorious ones.

This time, the defense against the monster clan has meritorious deeds from all over the country, and even local officials have set an example. Naturally, there are many people who have meritorious deeds.

The guilty person was taken down, and the other officials also left. At this moment, only Su Wenzheng, Gu Qingzhou, Peng Sihai, the imperial envoy of the Holy Dynasty, and the censor Lu Jianzhi were left in the room.

From the beginning to the end, the imperial envoy didn't say a word, but no one dared to underestimate it.

After all, it was an imperial envoy sent by the Holy Dynasty.

At this moment, closing the door to talk, the imperial envoy also smiled and said: "Several adults have the courage to take responsibility, and I will report these truthfully. However, to be honest, several of them are the pillars of the Holy Dynasty. Whether it is resignation or demotion, That is only temporary, even if a few adults are willing, the Holy Dynasty will not waste talents, if you stay here for a few years, maybe not only the reinstatement of the council officer, but even a promotion."

This is indeed the truth, Su Wenzheng and others just smiled and didn't speak.

"The appointment of several adults will not be issued until a few days later, so during this period of time, several of them can still exercise power. How to reward those who have made great contributions to the fight against demons in various places, I have to ask several adults to work hard and make a final decision." Afterwards, draw up a report on the results and report it to the Holy Dynasty." The imperial envoy continued.

Obviously, it is the states that exercise the decision-making power in terms of rewards and punishments for the officials below.

To put it simply, it is up to the state capitals of each state to decide who is meritorious and what to award. At that time, as long as the results are reported, the Holy Dynasty will not interfere.

After speaking, the censor left.

After closing the door again, Su Wenzheng said, "Master Gu, just tell me."

Gu Qingzhou nodded: "Everywhere has begun to sort out those who have made great contributions to the fight against demons. There are officials, officials, and people. However, the governor and I both know very well. This time, who is the person who has made the most contribution."

Su Wenzheng nodded, and glanced at Peng Sihai, but the latter closed his eyes and rested, obviously not wanting to participate in this kind of affairs.

It also fits his character.

Su Wenzheng nodded, and said: "Chuxian, the prime minister of Dinghai County, he wrote to me before, and the letter said very clearly that after the beginning of spring, there will be a blood moon coming, and the monster clan will invade. Please take precautions as soon as possible. Believe me. I didn't believe it at the time. After all, apart from the legendary old man Tianji, who can really predict the future? But even the old man Tianji, in my opinion, should be just a better charlatan. No one can predict the future , I read the letter at the time and didn’t take it seriously, but I still asked people to investigate, and at the same time arranged for Mr. Peng to mobilize the army just in case, only then did I know that this Chu Xian actually wrote a letter to Mr. Peng.”

"That's right, not only me, Master Gu also received it. I heard that he even wrote a letter to Cui Huanzhi, the inspector censor. This is also the reason why the emperor sent the imperial envoy so quickly this time." Peng Sihai said at this time.

Gu Qingzhou looked solemn, but he said: "This Chu Xian, how did he know that there would be a blood moon coming, and how did he know that the monster clan would invade at that time? This is very suspicious."

At this time, Lu Jianzhi, the censor next to him, said, "I know something about this."

When Su Wenzheng and Gu Qingzhou heard this, they immediately said, "Sir Lu, tell me."

Lu Jianzhi nodded, and told the story of the people writing a blood letter against Dinghai County Chancellor Chu Xian: "At first, I thought this Chu Xian was a corrupt official who took money and broke the law, so on the day I went to Dinghai County, He was dismissed. Who would have thought that this person, Fei Fei, was not afraid of me, the imperial censor, but could still be so calm that he would have someone treat me well, and he would also specifically stop him and ask the cook to serve me some snacks. This detail may not be understood by others, but I But it is clear, because I have a bad appetite and eat carefully. Although it is not a secret, all I know are close friends. As the magistrate of a county, a person who has never met me, can actually I know, it's really special."

"Could it be a coincidence?" Peng Sihai beside him asked curiously.

Lu Jianzhi shook his head: "I thought so too at first, but then I thought about it, that Chu Xian deliberately confessed to let the cook take care of him, he must have meant something, otherwise, how could he say that if it were someone else? How dare you say such a thing? I think, that Chu Xian knew something about me. He said that at the time, and he was telling me from the side to let me understand that he knew who I was and wanted me to investigate more carefully. He, I didn't understand at the time, but later, I finally figured it out."

Now, not only Peng Sihai, but also Su Wenzheng and Gu Qingzhou were taken aback for a moment, and were aroused with strong curiosity at the moment.

A small county magistrate dared to play tricks in front of the supervisory censor who came to investigate him. This state of mind was extraordinary.

"What do you want to understand? Then, did Chu Xian find out the problem?" Gu Qingzhou asked.

Lu Jianzhi shook his head: "Speaking of which, this Chu Xian is really clean and honest, not only is he not greedy for any money, but for the county defense of Dinghai County, he also pays money in advance from his own pocket, and this is what I find strange, if an ordinary official , Even if he pays attention to the county defense, it is impossible to be so urgent, as if he knows that the monsters will definitely come, otherwise, in my opinion, with his ability, it is impossible to make many seemingly weird government orders, many of which are Contrary to common sense, these decrees felt weird at the time, some were inexplicable, and some were fussy, but after experiencing the blood moon night and the demon clan's invasion, looking back, any of these decrees were extremely legitimate, as if, a prophet who could Said, if there is no such Chu Xian, Dinghai County will inevitably be the same as Huaishan County and Runjiang County. I just stayed in Dinghai County for a while, at first I didn't understand, but later I figured it out, he is lending my hand to protect his Dinghai County!"

hiss!
Lu Jianzhi's words made Su Wenzheng and the three of them gasp.

"Impossible, how could this Chu Xian plan to such a degree, he is so powerful? I don't believe it." Peng Sihai shook his head again and again.

Even Gu Qingzhou is the same, don't believe it.

The possibility that Lu Jianzhi said was too mysterious, especially at Chu Xian's age, how could he have such power of calculation?
Su Wenzheng seemed to think of something at this time, so he asked an official from Zhenxi City Mansion to come in and ask if the county below had sent any documents during these days.

The official said yes, and Su Wenzheng asked again if it was sent from Dinghai County. The official nodded and said, "Dinghai County sent the most, there must be more than a dozen copies."

"Go and get it!" Su Wenzheng issued an order, how dare the official refuse to obey, he hurriedly went down, but returned after a while, holding a stack of documents in his hand.

"Lord Inspector, what are you going to do?" Peng Sihai asked puzzledly, and Lu Jianzhi was equally puzzled. Only Gu Qingzhou seemed to have thought of something, and went forward to look at it together.

Most of the documents submitted by Dinghai County are official affairs of the county, such as how much was damaged this time, how many people were homeless, and how to pay for the fallen soldiers. In the final analysis, it is to ask the city government for money.

In addition, there are also some ideas for rebuilding the county seat, but there is one article in the document, which is very special, and it was noticed by Su Wenzheng and Gu Qingzhou almost immediately.

"In this document, the last time Dinghai County Prime Minister Chuxian came to Zhenxi City to ask for silver taels for the county defense, but he ran into a fortune-telling warlock in the city. The other party said that he had a bloody disaster, and he left a sentence : The end of the great cold, the beginning of spring, the night of the blood moon, the calamity is coming. This Chu Xian thinks that he has encountered an expert outside the world, and thinks that it may be a prophecy of disaster. However, if you take the words of a charlatan seriously, you will be charged with credulity and slander, so you can only hesitate, think about it, and say that you calculated it yourself. According to the prophecy, there will be a blood moon in early spring. The catastrophe is the invasion of the demon clan, so he wrote to the city and the state. After he returned, while consolidating the county defense, he felt that he should tell the truth. The truth of the statement was reported to the city government... It turns out that this is what happened." After Gu Qingzhou finished speaking, he suddenly realized, and said: "This explains why Chu Xian will strengthen the county defense, and even issue some tough government orders. It was because of a charlatan's words that he believed deeply, but he was worried that others would criticize him, so he deliberately concealed that charlatan. Only later did he feel that something was wrong, so he went to the city government to tell the truth. In this way, things were reasonable gone."

Over there, Peng Sihai and Lu Jianzhi also suddenly realized, and the biggest doubt in their hearts was also solved.

Only Su Wenzheng was still thinking, and then asked: "When was this document submitted?"

Gu Qingzhou was taken aback, looked at the time, and said: "It was more than a month ago."

Su Wenzheng said: "The master of Zhenxi City has neglected his duty. The documents written more than a month ago have not been opened. That is to say, the master has not read them at all."

Gu Qingzhou nodded: "Officials like Zhenxi City Lord Shu should have been abolished a long time ago. If we hadn't accidentally thought about it and wanted to see the official documents reported by Dinghai County, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to find this. A good official has been wronged a bit.”

Over there, Peng Sihai said with a smile: "I think this Chu Xian is just a blind cat who ran into a dead mouse. I guess he is timid. Once he was frightened by a charlatan, he believed it. Fortunately, he believed it. Otherwise, Dinghai County would not be safe." Ah, this can be regarded as a crooked and mistaken meritorious service."
