Yushu Sashimi Department

Zhuojun
Zhuojun prefecture
"Yin Qi, you must die! You must die!"

The clothes of the prefect of Zhuojun were disheveled, and he was pushed to the ground by the servants of the governor. Even the hair crown fell to the ground, and his hair was disheveled, but this is not the point. He was beaten to death, and this incident was revealed, and he was caught by Yin Qi, the governor of Youzhou.

"Hmph! You colluded with the powerful and harmed the common people. Is it reasonable?" Yin Qi knew that he had no way of turning back. From the moment he became a cruel official, he was the sharp knife in the emperor's hand, helping the emperor to eradicate all enemies, and those enemies of the emperor, Although they did not dare to oppose the emperor openly, they dared to confront the emperor's sharp knife.

Therefore, once the emperor abandoned him, he would immediately be attacked by the powerful gentry. If he wanted to survive, he could only hug the emperor's thigh tightly.

In the past, he ransacked so many families and families, and it was impossible for the powerful nobles to accept his refuge, so he had no choice but to rely on the emperor.

"Come on, take it away!"

Yin Qi has no other means to deal with these local officials and powerful gentry, that is, torture them after they are captured, and rely on torture to capture their accomplices.

"You cruel official! You will be stigmatized forever!" Hearing that he was about to be taken away, the prefect of Zhuojun struggled.

"It will be a matter of the future, but you have to die now!" Yin Qi sneered, and ordered the capital officials to imprison the prefect of Zhuojun in the dungeon of Zhuojun, and sent the governor to Chang'an to arrest the governor of Youzhou. In the anti-corruption thunder operation, he caught such a big tiger as the prefect of Zhuojun and reported it to the emperor.

Although the governor has only six hundred stones, he belongs directly to the emperor just like the visitor, and the three princes and nine ministers have no right to ask the governor what to do.

Liaodong County
"This damn imperial court eagle dog, is he really here?" Li Yao, the county lieutenant, cursed in a low voice.

"Which county did the governor go to cut leeks now?" Wang Changzhi was also the first to hear such a novelty as the governor, and he still treated him as a former visitor.

As for the Youzhou Governor's Department, hehe... The tyrants don't agree with such a division of regions, they still use counties as divisions.

"I heard that the cruel official Yin Qi has already arrived in Yuyang County, and I think he will come to our Liaodong County in a year or two." Juncheng Zhang Shou also frowned: "It's also fortunate that our Liaodong County is far away, and the governor started to monitor from west to east. , I have just finished inspecting Bohai County, Zhuo County, and Shanggu County, and I am going to Yuyang County for inspection."

"On the way of the governor's supervision, there are many officials and powerful people who suffered disasters. Many county officials and powerful people were arrested. One strongman has an in-law relationship with the three princes of the court. Even with such a strong background, he was arrested by Yin Qi and ransacked his house. ,terrible!"

"Even the prefect of Zhuojun was arrested and sent to Chang'an to be beheaded!"

"The court is serious this time!"

When Zhang Shou, Li Yao, and Guo Jing said something to each other, they were very scared.

The emperor suddenly set up this governor, clearly to deliberately target them, the powerful gentry.

"What kind of governor is this? Does he love money?" Wang Changzhi asked, he wanted to use money to stun people sent by the court according to the previous method.

There is no money when paying taxes to the court, but there is money when bribing officials, everyone is like this.

"This Yin Qi doesn't seem to love money. The prefect of Zhuojun wanted to use money to send him out of Zhuojun earlier, but Yin Qi directly investigated Zhuojun and uprooted many officials and powerful gentry in Zhuojun." Zhang Shou shook his head and replied.

"Oh? Then does he love his name?" Wang Changzhi asked again, stroking his goatee.

"It seems that he is also a person who doesn't care about his legacy." Li Yao replied.

"Don't love money, don't you love fame?" Wang Changzhi fell into deep thought: "This is really difficult."

"This person is not invulnerable." At this time, Guo Jing, the magistrate of Pingguo County, said with a smile.

"Huh? Patriarch Guo, please tell me." Wang Changzhi asked quickly.

Although Wang Changzhi is the prefect and has a higher official position than Guo Jing's county magistrate, this is at the imperial court level. If it is at the gentry level, it can only compare with the strength of the family, so they all call each other the head of the family.

"I once heard that when Yin Qi was attacking the powerful in Chenliu County, he ransomed an oiran from Chenliu County's daughter-in-law by the way. After that oiran died of illness, Yin Qi was depressed for several months." Guo Jing laughed.

"Huh? So I like beauty, haha!" Wang Changzhi thought he had found a flaw in Yin Qi, the governor, so he was also very happy and said, "Is beauty not easy? I asked someone to choose a few beautiful girls from Liaodong County's daughters-in-law. Give it to him, let him get out of Liaodong as soon as possible, it is best not to come to Liaodong."

"Your Majesty, beauty is more about quality than weight. Even a hundred ordinary girls can't compare to a stunning girl. There is a servant girl in my manor who is more beautiful than the oiran among the maids." Guo Jing stroked his beard and said. laugh.

"Oh?" Wang Changzhi was a little surprised, how could this maid of the Guo family be stunning?

Liaoxi County

Linyu County

"My lord, it's getting dark, let's go to the county office of Linyu County to rest for one night, and get up and go to Liaoxi County Mansion tomorrow." Bie Jia said from the side.

He is the second-in-command of the governor. Once the governor has an accident, he will take the lead to deal with the affairs that the governor has not had time to deal with.

Because the current governor is essentially an envoy sent by the emperor to cut leeks, so everyone calls him envoy, which means envoy, and jun is a respectful title for a noble person.

"Ah."

Yin Qi, who was sitting in the carriage, responded casually, and then looked at the girl lying in his arms with a smile.

This girl was given to him by a businessman a few days ago. After the businessman heard that he was the governor, he wanted to have a relationship with him, so he gave him his personal maid.

"Xiaodie, when I have a chance in the future, I will send you to live in Chang'an, and you will be my concubine in the future." Yin Qi couldn't let go of this beautiful girl.

"Thank you, Ambassador." The girl was nestled in Yin Qi's arms. Her name was Xiaodie, and her mother's name was Fu Xiaozhu. Very early on, her mother gave birth to her in Huainan, but she couldn't afford to raise her, so she was taken away. She was sold to a businessman, and after that businessman got tired of playing with her, he sold her to the Guo family in Liaodong County as a maid.

Bie Jia outside the carriage saw the two of them sticking together like glue, and couldn't help but think to himself: What an idiot, you like a bitch like a businessman so much, hehe...

Although he is the second-in-command of the Youzhou Governor's Department, he is different from Yin Qi. He is the second-in-command only because the serious officials are all occupied by the powerful gentry. The department, which is hated by the world's powerful gentry, became an official.

Although he is from a poor family, he has a noble heart. Even if he became the second in command of the Ministry of Governors, it is just a helpless resume. Once he has the opportunity, even if it is just to be a county magistrate, he will take up the post without stopping.

Obviously the resources are monopolized by the powerful gentry, but a low-level poor family like him will never hate the powerful gentry. Instead, they will hate why they are not a member of the gentry, why they cannot be a clean stream, and why they must be cruel officials.

He thought that he could become a member of the gentry by being familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, but those gentry didn't bother to talk to him at all.

Later, he understood.

To become a gentry, the most important thing is never how many books you have read, nor how well you memorized the books left by the saints, nor is your daily behavior in line with etiquette.

Rather, whether there is much land in the family, whether there are many tenant farmers, and whether there are many industries.

As long as the family has enough land, enough tenant farmers, and enough property, they can gradually transform into a noble family by relying on money to become an official.

Otherwise, even if you have read the Four Books and Five Classics to the point of becoming moldy, you will still be the lowest poor family.

Even if a gentry farts in public, as long as his family's fields and property are still there, he is still a gentry.

For a low-level person like him, even if every word and word he utters conforms to etiquette, he is still a low-level person.

A powerful gentry beats a tenant farmer with a whip, and that is still a powerful gentry, and a tenant farmer who has read classical books thoroughly is still a tenant farmer.
