Chapter 371 Zhao Ying: Let them do it according to their own wishes

County Sheriff's Office.

West across the courtyard.

Although Zhao Ying asked his men to take this opportunity to temporarily take over the affairs of the Changsha County Sheriff's Mansion, he did not occupy the prison cells of the officials in the County Sheriff's Mansion. Instead, he asked his men to clear out two additional courtyards. He took his own troops and moved in.

In the wing room that Zhao Ying temporarily used as a study.

Zhang Liang, who looked tired, walked in quickly with a pile of documents in his arms.

"Lord, all the information you requested has been sorted out..."

Looking at Zhang Liang, who looked tired and had bloodshot eyes, Zhao Ying knew that Zhang Liang had barely blinked in the past two days in order to lead everyone to complete the sorting of Changsha County information as soon as possible.He nodded and said harmoniously.

"Zifang, thank you for your hard work——"

Zhang Liang returned the gift with a respectful expression.

"This is my duty. I dare not say that it is hard work. Speaking of which, the method passed down by His Highness is more effective. Otherwise, it would take us a lot of time just to sort out these things..."

Having said this, Zhang Liang hesitated for a moment and then spoke.

"But - Lord, the people below have not blinked for two days and two nights since entering the city until now. If they stay up any longer, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on..."

Zhao Ying nodded.

"You and everyone have worked hard these past two days. If something happens here, I will definitely take credit for everyone..."

When Zhao Ying said this, he turned around and ordered Zhui Gu beside him.

"You go down and inform everyone, go eat something first and take a rest..."

Zhui Gu hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but persuade him.

"Your Highness, you haven't slept for two days and two nights. Why don't you go and take a rest first? Things can't be done in a short while..."

Zhao Ying smiled and waved his hands.

"It's okay..."

This was the first time he had endured such a long period of time after time travel, but Zhao Ying found that his body seemed to be able to endure it quite well. Even now, he was still full of energy and did not feel much tired.

Zhao Ying took the information that Zhang Liang brought over and read through it at a glance.

Originally, if he wanted to obtain such first-hand information, he might have to go through some twists and turns, and when it fell into his hands, he didn't know how many processes it would go through.

Now, with the assassination incident under the bridge, he took over the governor's mansion.

The entire county governor's mansion suddenly fell into his hands.

The information Zhang Liang brought over was something he had worked overtime to compile over the past two days.

In this world, there is no yamen that is absolutely clean. No matter how strict the laws of Daqin are, they cannot be exempted from vulgarity. If we really want to thoroughly investigate, who has no oily hands on his hands and no dirt on his buttocks?
This is also the reason why everyone in the county governor's mansion was still so uneasy after being forcibly taken over by Zhao Ying, even though they had already prepared for it.

After all, they did not expect that there would be such a scene as an assassination in the street, nor did they expect that the emperor's eldest grandson would act so forcefully and domineeringly, disregarding public opinion, and use this excuse to directly take over the affairs of the county.

The situation has exceeded their original expectations.

"Your Highness, Sheriff Wood and others have arrived..."

Zhao Ying then put down the information in his hand and gave instructions calmly.

"Let them in..."

Soon.

Wood and others filed in.

"I pay my respects to His Highness the Emperor's Grandson..."

Zhao Ying looked at these Changsha County officials who were forced to take charge without saying a word. When he saw that each of them was getting more and more embarrassed, he winked at Zhang Liang and gave a faint order.

"Send this information to everyone and take a look..."

Zhang Liang obeyed and found the information in his hand.

Wood just glanced at it, and he couldn't help but sweat on his forehead and his clothes were soaked with sweat. The county officials behind him were even more unbearable. Many of them were already trembling with blood and their faces were as pale as dust.

They really couldn't understand how the emperor's eldest grandson was able to sort out these things from the vast amount of information in just two days.According to their experience, if they really wanted to find out something, even if they had specialized talents, they would not be able to find it to this extent within ten days and a half.

"Puff-"

Some people were already paralyzed and fell to their knees.

Zhao Ying directly selected the two who were colluding with the local wealthy families, were the most unscrupulous and had the worst behavior, and had them dragged down and chopped on the spot. Then he turned his head, looked around at the earth-colored officials, and said calmly to Zhang Liang commanded.

"Okay, put it away..."

Without waiting for them to think more, the information in their hands was taken away. Then, in their surprised eyes, Zhao Ying directly threw the information that was finally found out directly in front of them into the brazier in front of them. inside.

The flames rose instantly, and the ashes rolled up rose in the flames.

The scene in front of them made their hearts, which were already in their throats, slightly relax.

"I don't know what His Highness has ordered, but I will do my best to repay Your Highness for your forgiveness!"

Wood looked at the emperor's eldest grandson, who was young but had a calm face and remained calm. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and he honestly stepped forward and bowed deeply.

Wood's action immediately reminded everyone, and they all stepped forward and saluted with fear.

"I am willing to do your best for His Highness..."

Although the information that made them horrified was burned in front of them, who can guarantee that His Highness the Emperor Changsun did not hide a copy in his hands?
At this time, if you can't straighten your position, you will really be in trouble with yourself.

When Zhao Ying saw everyone, he suddenly dwarfed a lot. Then he stood up and stepped forward with a warm smile. He helped Wood and others in front of him with his own hands, looked around, and said in a sincere voice.

"You gentlemen, you don't have to be like this. No one can make mistakes without being a sage. If you can correct your mistakes, there is no greater good..."

Naturally, it is impossible for Zhao Ying to really catch all the officials in Changsha County.

If that were the case, not to mention that many people were not guilty in the first place, even if they were really unpardonable, he couldn't really do that.

Otherwise, if a group of officials were all sacked, it would definitely shock the world and deal a fatal blow to the credibility of the court.The common people don't care whose position you stand on, nor how determined you are to regulate the government and make decisions for the people. Their eyes will only see that there are no officials in the Qin Dynasty who are not corrupt, the government is corrupt, and the morality is not up to par. .

Instead of doing this, it is better to let them perform meritorious service and use their remaining energy.What's more, I am in Changsha County and am not familiar with the place. If I want to do some things well, I really cannot do without these subordinates who have been working in Changsha County for many years.

With the cooperation of these local officials in Changsha County, Zhao Ying finally had something good in his hands.

Otherwise, if this group of people is secretly restricting things, many things will become very troublesome.

Soon, there were clues about the assassination of the emperor's grandson.Three days later.

After personal inspection by the governor of Changsha County and personal verification by dozens of officials in Changsha County, it was determined that the matter was related to the six wealthy families in Changsha County: Xiao, He, Yuan, Zhen, Zuo and Gongsun.

So, the cavalry stood out!
Song Wu, the county lieutenant, personally led the troops and swept the whole city.

The six aristocratic families that had been in Changsha County for hundreds of years were broken into, and all the heads of the six surnamed families were arrested!

There are hundreds of people implicated!In Changsha County, there was a sudden rumbling, and people were on guard.

in prison.

Gongsun Lu, the haggard and old head of the Gongsun family, looked at Wood standing in front of him and couldn't help but curse.

"There is no need to accuse me of any crime. Mr. Wu, I have always been respectful to you. Why do you want to frame me out of thin air today? What are your motives?"

Wood sighed, raised his sleeve, and gently wiped the saliva that was accidentally sprayed on his face by Gongsun Lu, with a calm expression.

"Master Gongsun, please respect yourself. This county guard is law-abiding and honest. I have never accepted a bribe from you..."

Hearing this, Gongsun Lu couldn't help but snorted coldly and said no more.

After all, it’s all about clicking.

It would be of no benefit to me if she really found out about the governor.

"Old Patriarch, you might as well think carefully about who did this..."

After Sheriff Wood finished speaking, he walked up to the lord of his hometown, Sun Lu, and gave him a very covert look. Gongsun Lu immediately "understood". This must mean that the Sheriff has remembered his own benefits and wants to take care of him secretly.

With this thought, he immediately understood.

The somewhat haggard face also had a relaxed smile for the first time.Stretching his big hands, Shi Shiran sat down cross-legged on the haystack in the cell, and glanced at Wood lightly.

"The Meng family in the west of the city usually has gangs in their home and collects armored soldiers. I am worried that in my opinion, their relationship is indispensable in the assassination of the emperor's eldest grandson..."

When Wood heard this, his eyelids twitched and he took another look at him.

The Meng family in the west of the city mentioned by Gongsun Lu was a large family living next to the Gongsun family. The ancestors of the Meng family were originally far inferior to the Gongsun family, but in recent years, the Meng family has managed their business well and their family property has expanded rapidly. He already has the intention to surpass the Gongsun family.

In addition, the two ethnic groups live next to each other, so there is a lot of competition in the family's industries.

Gongsun Lu, this old thief, is already in jail, but he still wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife and trick the Meng family.However, at this time, Wood had already guessed the thoughts of His Royal Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson, and knew that this time he might become a murderous weapon in the hands of the eldest emperor's grandson and a resounding scapegoat.

Immediately, he smiled, cupped his hands at Gongsun Lu without comment, and turned away.

With Gongsun Lu's identification, he, the governor of Changsha County, could justifiably send troops to arrest the Meng family.

Soon, the Sheriff's Mansion once again came out with its cavalry, and captured the Meng family, the Lu family and the He family in one fell swoop.

For a time, people in Changsha County were panicked. From time to time, you could see officials from the County Sheriff's Office leading the county's troops to mercilessly take down noble families one after another.

Those who wear shackles and chains are mostly dandy sons, and those who mourn along the way are all out of the home of the bells and cauldrons!

This scene really shocked many people.

It also made many people secretly happy.

For example, the Yun family.

When Yun Peng heard that Song Wu, the county lieutenant, had led his men to arrest the head of the Meng family, he couldn't help but frown slightly and cursed in a low voice.

"Could this Song Wu be insane? Where did he get such courage to dare to do something like this?"

But his courage is probably limited to talking in private.The wealthy families in Changsha County were unlucky, but he didn't mind drinking a bowl of soup along with them.

He just sighed for a while, and then immediately called the steward of the house, asking him to immediately prepare money and manpower to take over the assets and land of the Meng family.

After all, it is a rare opportunity to eat human blood steamed buns. If the Meng family is really unlucky, if the Yun family doesn't eat it, wouldn't it be a disgrace to the name of the head of the Yun family?
Yun Fu lowered his head and followed the chief steward Yun Lu out of the Yun family's mansion. He couldn't help but look back.

The mansion was deep, like a beast that could eat people, which made him feel unspeakably depressed.

Walking on the road, looking at the Meng family members who were shackled and scolded by officers and soldiers, Yunfu lowered his head subconsciously. He couldn't help but think about it countless times.

Why isn't such a dirty and ugly family like the Yun family arrested?

Why!

After Gongsun Lu reported his old enemy, the Meng family, his treatment changed significantly. He was even invited out of the noisy cage alone and went to a wing specially vacated for him by Sheriff Wu.

This change made him feel shocked.

Sure enough, misfortunes come with blessings. Being caught here may not be a good thing. Otherwise, how would there be a chance to take advantage of the organization to trap the Meng family?
Gongsun Lu's changes not only made Gongsun Lu feel complacent, but also the other family heads who were captured by the county governor's house couldn't help but become excited. If they could take advantage of this opportunity to add insult to injury, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?
On the one hand, you can exonerate yourself, and on the other hand, you can take the opportunity to eliminate your opponents and expand your own territory.

When he thought of this, Gongsun Lu couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

After all, if he is trapped here, how can he beat up the drowned dog and take advantage of the opportunity to incorporate all the Meng family's properties into his own name?

As a result, the list in front of the emperor's grandson began to gradually expand.

"My lord, so far they have fought against each other and created eleven families..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Liang couldn't help but a hint of awe flashed in his eyes, and his expression became more and more respectful.

"After secret investigation by the minister and Jing Xiaowei, only the head of the Chai family, who was somewhat involved with Mr. Jing of the Chu royal family, did take advantage of his family's connections in the governor's house and took the opportunity to mobilize the manpower patrolling the arch bridge. Jing hid under the arch bridge and created an opportunity to assassinate the lord, but the rest of the people were mostly defiant to the imperial court and were quite resistant..."

Zhang Liang glanced at Zhao Ying's face secretly, and then silently closed the information in his hand.

The development of the situation was almost sudden. He did not expect that His Highness the Emperor Changsun just took advantage of the situation and pushed it casually, and the situation developed to this point.

If at the beginning of the matter, the subordinates in the county governor's house tried to get away with it, guessing the emperor's eldest grandson's intention, and forcefully tried to get involved, then now, the evidence is really conclusive.

This group of guys, who in the past seemed to be harmonious and called each other brothers, started to attack each other, each one being darker and more ruthless than the other one.

After fighting each other, the "evidence" produced was enough to kill someone.

This is a serious crime of secretly colluding with assassins to murder the current emperor's eldest grandson. Even if the emperor's eldest grandson is willing, they can be related to the last fish-belly silk book case.

That would really be a serious crime of confiscating a family and exterminating a clan!

After receiving the information handed over by Zhang Liang, Zhao Ying simply glanced at it, then threw it on the cases aside and said calmly.

"Your Majesty showed great kindness and kindness to the nobles and wealthy families from all over the world. He allowed them to cultivate their own land and manage their family's property with peace of mind, so as to preserve the blood of their ancestors and their former wealth. I didn't expect that they would not care about Your Majesty's kindness. I don't care about His Majesty's kindness, but I have betrayed my trust to this extent..."

Having said this, Zhao Ying glanced at Zhang Liang, who was standing with his hands down.

"Although I am the governor of Jiangnan affairs, these matters are all matters within Changsha County. Commander Wu and Commander Song have fulfilled their duties and fulfilled their responsibilities. It is not appropriate for my highness to intervene rashly. Tell them to let them follow their own rules." Let’s do it if you want…”
