Dang County Government Office
In the back hall, Su Zhao saw Lu Chen, the governor of Dang County at that time, and all the officials in the county, big and small, all gathered in the hall.
Su Zhao was sitting on a chair, holding a teacup in his hand, fiddled with the floating tea leaves with the lid of the teapot, behind him Fan Xiaoyao was standing in a black robe with a sword in his arms.
Su Zhao raised a pair of indifferent eyes and walked past the officials in Dang County.
To be precise, it is hopeful.
Lu Chen, the prefect of Dangjun, Yu Song, the prefect of the county, and Shi, the prefect of the county, these are the three giants in handling government affairs in the county, and they are all directly appointed by the central government.
These are not Qianshi officials, they are all Shangguan Qi, and the Qi column is bright yellow.
Not far away is the meritorious Cao, the five officials, and the postal supervisor. This is the right Cao official in the county, who has been serving for the people of Dang County all the year round.
The so-called aristocratic family of the prefecture, with a powerful family, is talking about this generation.
A little further away, there are the subordinate officials of the sect, headed by the master book, who can be regarded as the cronies and assistant officials who were removed by the county guard on their own, and then listed as Cao assistant officials, headed by Hu Cao.
"Why isn't Yan Qing here?" the young Junhou asked with a frown.
Lu Chen cautiously said: "Duke Yan is in the posthouse in the city, and I have sent someone to call for Duke Yan to come. I have asked Mr. Yan to stay at the government office before, but Mr. Yan declined."
Su Zhao's expression turned cold, and he said, "The intention of coming to Dang County alone, everyone should know that the local fate is a traitor, against the central court, the governor of Lu County, do you know about this?"
There is no need to go around in circles, just ask directly, and this attitude almost makes the temperature of the hot flower hall drop a few degrees.
The officials of the county government almost buried their heads in the ground.
Lu Chen's complexion changed slightly, and he couldn't speak for a moment. Facing the questioning of the young prince opposite, he felt his scalp numb. Observe... not long after, the truth will come to light."
"Hum." Su Zhao put the teacup on the small table beside him, and all the officials in the hall felt awe-inspiring.
Su Zhao asked: "Did the villains who besieged the post and harassed the imperial envoy ever go to prison for interrogation?"
Lu Chen said: "The leader of the group, there are five of them, they are already in prison, it's just..."
"Just what?"
"Last night, he was killed in prison by gangsters." Lu Chen said with a pale face and trembling voice.
Speaking of which, he also felt strange.
"Yesterday, what a coincidence. Gu just arrived in Dang County today, and these bandits were silenced one day in advance. Is this a warning to Yu Gu?" Su Zhao sneered.
There is almost no need for reasoning. Most likely, he reported the news of Xingdang County to the counties through his residence. Although he deliberately did not inform the post station, someone was still watching his car.
"I'm waiting for death!" Lu Chen's complexion changed suddenly, he knelt down on the ground and lowered his head, his heart was trembling at the moment, who would dare to threaten the young prince above.
"The minister is guilty of death!"
Afterwards, Dangjun County Prime Minister, Chang Shi and other subordinate officials knelt down in black and white, and voices of pleading guilty kept coming and going.
"In Dang County, at the beginning of the year, there were bandits and bandits gathered together to cause chaos, and they were wiped out with a large army alone, but how long has it passed? The lonely court officials came to preside over the new deal, and there were powerful subordinates who, because of fate, colluded with traffic and obstructed the imperial government. Even the relatives of the imperial envoys were attacked and killed, what is Dang County going to do?" Su Zhao looked at the officials in the county, and he dared to conclude that at least half of them were against the New Deal, especially the officials in the county.
Of course, he didn't blame Lu Chen. He had just assumed office, and it was unlikely that he would be in cahoots with the powerful and powerful Dangjun.
At this moment, two groups of people hurriedly came from outside the government office, one of them was led by an old man, it was Yan Chang, and behind him was Qu Kai, the capital of the imperial army, and the captain of Dangjun County. They all walked towards the back hall quickly.
There is another group, Gao Yuanhua, the inspector censor stationed in Dang County, and Zhou Chongtao, the inspector of the inspection department, with a look of panic on his face, who also came in a hurry.
The two of them were not working in the county office, one was taking a nap at home, and the other was drinking in a restaurant in the city. When they heard that Marquis Su came to the county town in person, they came to the county office in a hurry.
Then two groups of people stood back and forth outside the hall, and were stopped by the forbidden army.
"My subject, Yan Chang, please see Your Majesty." Yan Chang cupped his hands and said.
Gao Yuanhua, the supervisory censor, and Zhou Chongtao, the inspector, also begged to see him loudly.
Su Zhao was in the flower hall and said, "Let them all come in."
Not long after, Yan Chang and others filed in, saluted and saw everyone kneeling in the hall, all of them looked alarmed.
Su Zhao looked at Yan Chang, his eyes softened a bit, and said: "I have read Yan Qing's memorial, but I never thought that the villains under Dang County's rule are so insane!"
"Your Majesty, the old ministers are useless, and the people's grievances boiled over, causing chaos, which alarmed Your Majesty." Yan Chang looked ashamed and said, cupping his hands.
Su Zhao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Yan Qing doesn't need to blame himself, Gu Yuan also intends to come to Dang County in person. The previous tour to the south was only to control the river, and only to watch the flowers on horseback. Now it can be regarded as a chance."
At this moment, the two monarchs and ministers were chatting in front of a crowd of officials, big and small, who were kneeling on the ground, but it made everyone even more anxious.
"What's going on with you two?" Su Zhao looked at Gao Yuanhua, the censor of the prefecture, and Zhou Chongtao, the inspector, and asked, frowning.
Seeing the majestic demeanor of the young gentleman compared to when he was in Wenyi, Gao Yuanhua was terrified, and immediately knelt down on the ground, leaning over to plead guilty and said: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being late. .”
The inspection envoy Zhou Chongtao also imitated the example and knelt down to plead guilty.
Smelling the faint smell of alcohol on Zhou Chongtao, Su Zhao frowned, and said, "Except for Lu Chen, the governor of Dang County, Gao Yuanhua, the censor, and Zhou Chongtao, the patrol envoy, the rest go down to deal with the county affairs."
The county official who was kneeling on the ground quickly got up to thank him, and withdrew in twos and threes.
All of a sudden, in the flower hall, the next two groups of sons and the county guard Lu Chen remained.
"What's going on in Dang County? Who was behind the attack not long ago?" Su Zhao asked in a cold voice, "Inspector Zhou, you are in charge of police and robbery in Dang County, don't tell Gu, then You don't recognize the five people who died!"
Zhou Chongtao's body trembled, and a trace of fear appeared on his resolute face, and he said: "Your Majesty, I really don't know about humble positions."
"I don't know?" Su Zhao smiled contemptuously, and said in a deep voice, "Come here, take this dog down!"
"promise!"
Immediately, from under the eaves of the corridor outside the flower hall, accompanied by the rustling of nail leaves, several sergeants entered the hall, without any explanation, they grabbed Zhou Chongtao's hands and shoulders.
Zhou Chongtao's face changed suddenly, and he raised a middle-aged face covered with beards, his eyes were full of fear: "Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to me in my humble position?"
Qi and blood are secretly surging in the dantian, with the potential to violently rise.
"How dare you argue even now! The five of you last night, didn't you secretly collude with bandits in the rivers and lakes to kill people to silence them?" Su Zhao said coldly.
"I've been wronged by a humble job!" Zhou Chongtao's heart was shaken, but he still shouted for grievances.
"Injustice?"
Su Zhao's eyes flickered coldly, and he sneered, just now the officials of Dang County knelt down on the ground, Anan listened to their hearts, only this week's inspection envoy entered the hall, saw all the county officials kneeling, his thoughts fluctuated for a while, and he let out The details of the murder last night.
In fact, after just one night, it was hard not to think about it.
As Su Zhao said, in An'an's voice transmission of spiritual thoughts, Lang Sheng told the details of how Zhou Chongtao accepted bribes and how he was corrupted by the Dou family's offering of beautiful ladies.
The words are like knives, and the words are detailed, as if they have seen it in person.
"There is a god at three feet above your head. If you want people to know it, you have to do nothing unless you do nothing. You are the inspector of a county, but you open your eyes for Qiang Zonghao and ignore the righteousness of the court. It is really hateful! Come on, tell me this Arrest them and interrogate them more severely!" Su Zhao said in a deep voice.
At this moment, Zhou Chongtao could still bear it, and said, "I see, who dares to take me!"
As he said that, blood surged up all over his body, a cold light flashed in his sleeve, and a dagger, wrapped in innate essence, stabbed at Su Zhao murderously, and said with a grinning grin: "Your fool, take your life!"
"Bold!" At this moment, everyone in the hall yelled coldly in unison, Qu Kai and Dangjun County Lieutenant stepped forward to save him.
However, there was one person who was faster and intercepted him with his sword light.
Su Zhao's face was silent, he clearly didn't even look at the attacking dagger, picked up the teacup on the side, sipped it, and said lightly: "Xiao'er, stay alive!"
Fan Xiao responded, and the sword light in his palm suddenly deflected, and the sword light that was originally aimed straight at the neck fell on Zhou Chongtao's arm holding the dagger.
