"My lord, are you trying to capture all the officials in Linlang County?"

Seeing the familiar faces being taken down after arriving, Li Zaiye felt that Wang Deshun and Zhao Muqing must be crazy.

Although he is the county governor, he has taken the post in a different place and his influence is limited.

But most of the others are locals from Linlang County, and their family influence is here.

"Instead of worrying about us, County Sheriff Li should think carefully about whether your family and the noble person you are talking about will be implicated if your incident comes to light!"

Wang Deshun is not worried about the family troubles behind these officials.

On the contrary, if they really started to make trouble, he would never tolerate it.

The more noise the case makes, the greater his credit will naturally be.

If someone wants to give him credit, how could he refuse?

However, Wang Deshun felt that 90% of the families behind these people would not dare to complain.

How many brainless people do you have to do to risk an entire family for one person?

Besides, they came with the power to put down the Manichaean rebellion, who would dare to make a mistake?

Li Zaiye quickly figured everything out.

At this point, he understood that the situation was over.

But he didn't understand. When they met yesterday, the conversation between them was still normal. How come they turned around and everything changed?

At this time, Li Zaiye could not imagine that all this was just because he gave birth to a great son.

After capturing these officials from Linlang County, Wang Deshun and Zhao Muqing had people post notices in the city, asking the people in the city to report and expose the illegal actions of these officials.

But obviously, it has no effect.

There are many things that people just hear about.

Many of the victims have either moved away from their families or have been buried.

Linlang County has been managed into a monolithic state by these officials.

"Eunuch Wang, this is not the way to go!"

They arrested people, but without conclusive evidence and just relying on hearsay, it was impossible to punish these people.

Zhao Muqing is a general who fights hard and charges hard, and plays scheming, which is obviously inferior to him.

Wang Deshun has been in the palace for a long time and understands people's hearts and calculations, but this time the situation is a little different. The most important thing is that here, they are not familiar with the place.

They were able to deal with this group of people, but the family power behind these officials was still there, and the people reported them, but who would dare to come forward to testify? Aren't you afraid of revenge?

"How about asking that person?"

Zhao Muqing thought of Shen Yunyao, "Uncle Guo and his wife are from Liucheng, Linlang County, and are more familiar with the situation here than you and me!"

"Then, try it!"

Wang Deshun thought for a moment and thought it would be a good idea to ask Shen Yunyao.

After hearing what Wang Deshun said, Shen Yunyao just thought about it for a moment before giving her opinion.

"My lord, you can think of letting Liucheng County Lord serve as the temporary governor of Linlang County. How come you don't know how to let others from those official families replace them?"

"Even if they are from the same clan, they may not be of the same mind!"

Shen Yunyao's simple words made Wang Deshun suddenly enlightened.

Isn't this operation the same as in the court?

Fight against each other!

"Thank you, madam, our family has been taught a lesson!"

Wang Deshun quickly withdrew.

Not long after, the situation changed drastically.

The common people did not come forward to report these people, but their compatriots jumped out.

Even more people were arrested after pulling out carrots and bringing out the mud.

"Shocking!"

Wang Deshun was really shocked when he looked at the evidence of crimes reported by these people one by one.

There are so many sins hidden under the seemingly calm water.

"How dare they?" Zhao Muqing couldn't figure it out either.

These people have turned Linlang County into Dayong's country within a country.

Setting up private courts, killing people, and colluding with the Manichaeans, there was nothing they dared not do.

"If our guess is correct, Manichaeism plays a huge role here!"

After Wang Deshun discovered that someone was colluding with Manichaeism to eradicate dissidents, he understood how all this happened.

If the Manichaeans want to revolt, they need the support of the people. But the world is peaceful and the people have enough food and clothing. How can they rebel against those who want to lose their heads?

If there are no natural disasters, then create man-made disasters.

With just a little guidance, the dudes from these families will fall into the trap, and then, step by step, they will nibble away and lure these families bit by bit to grab more benefits.

If they hadn't discovered it in time, once the Manichaeans rebelled, they would have been able to make the families in Linlang County obey their orders with the evidence they had.

"Commander Zhao, go and interrogate the leaders of the Manichaean sect. They must have more detailed evidence of guilt in their hands!"

Wang Deshun is a good person, and he grasped the key immediately.

Many times, when some officials commit corruption and never return, it does not mean that they have completely lost their conscience.

But, they had no choice.

The evidence of the crime is in the hands of others. If they don't want to be unlucky, they can only serve others honestly.

In this way, the official position is preserved and there is still money available.

Slowly, bit by bit, they fell deeper and deeper.

Manichaeism is still anxious!

If they continue to encroach little by little in this way, the scale of their uprising in the future will only become larger.

"I must give your Majesty some advice!"

Wang Deshun has seen a lot in this matter.

As long as he clarifies all this in the memorial, he will definitely gain His Majesty's favor and be reused.

This is his chance to show off his ambition!

……

When Ou Feng arrived in the county town, people were stupid until what happened in the county town.

He always thought that Shen Yunyao and his party had left Linlang County long ago, but he never thought that instead of leaving, they suppressed the Manichean rebellion and captured all the officials in the county.

"Master Ou, it would be great if you came!"

Seeing Ou Feng's arrival, Wang Deshun felt that they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Although Wang Deshun is not completely ignorant about governing the people and government, he is actually somewhat powerless.

Professional matters still have to be left to professionals.

Ou Feng wanted to cry.

It's true that he wanted to get promoted, but he didn't want to die from exhaustion.

Most of the officials in Linlang County were arrested, leaving only three or two big cats and kittens, marginalized figures who were usually depressed.

Ou Feng didn't know whether these people were talented or not, but he knew that these people couldn't manage the entire Linlang County.

"Eunuch Wang, even if you put a knife to my neck now, I can't settle everything here!"

"I don't have anyone under my command, and I don't know how to clone myself!"

"It's okay, there's someone, there's someone!"

Those members of the family sold their own people, didn't they just want a chance to rise to power?

Wang Deshun had promised that as long as they had the ability, they would have the opportunity to become officials.

"Lord, how to judge what these people can do is up to you!"

"However, our family has to tell you that these people can be used for a while."

"Thank you, father-in-law, for the pointer. I understand!"

Ou Feng instantly understood what Wang Deshun meant. This was a warning to him not to become the second best to Li Zaiye.
