Jiangzhou Governor's Mansion.
Gao Shilian received the imperial edict from Chang'an.
"Okay, Your Majesty's Holy Judgment!"
After reading the imperial edict, Gao Shilian saw that His Majesty's opinions on how to deal with the matter coincided with his own, and he praised him excitedly.
"Inform officials at all levels of the state government to go to the governor's office now." Gao Shilian said to the steward who was standing by.
"Yes."
The butler bowed, lowered his head and walked out quickly.
Soon officials at all levels from Jiangzhou arrived at the Governor's Mansion, and a large group of people filled the spacious hall.
Jiangzhou Sima Li Gan and others stood at the front of the crowd.
Gao Shilian sat on the front seat, looked around at the officials in front of the hall, and asked calmly.
"Are everyone here?"
"Master Governor, everyone is here."
A man dressed as a clerk stood up and said respectfully reply.
"Yes."
Gao Shilian nodded.
His sharp eyes swept across the faces of the officials below, and when he glanced at Inspector Yang, he paused for several breaths.
Inspector Yang felt uncomfortable being stared at.
His heart trembled, and cold sweat broke out on his palms.
"I have an imperial edict here from Chang'an. Li Sima, please read it to everyone."
"Yes, sir."
Jiangzhou Sima Li Gan took the imperial edict from Gao Shilian with both hands respectfully, and then read it loudly.
As Li Gan continued to read, the expressions of the officials in front of the hall changed drastically.
It turns out that they lied about the flood, and Chang'an knew everything about it.
This is an edict of accountability!
"It's over!"
Inspector Yang's face turned pale with fright, his hands and feet became weak and he almost fell down.
If I had known better, I would not have been greedy. What should I do now?
He was sweating profusely and his mind was spinning rapidly, thinking of ways to save himself.
Soon, Inspector Yang heard a sound that frightened him.
"Come here, take down the inspector Yang Hong."
"Deng Deng stared."
Two soldiers rushed in from outside the gate. Immediately detain Yang Hong.
"Gao Jishi, I'm wronged, I didn't do anything!"
Supervisor Yang Hong struggled hard and cried loudly for mercy.
"Humph, it's unfair! Li Sima reads Yang Hong's evidence of guilt!"
Gao Shilian slammed his palm on the table, and then handed Li Gan a piece of paper filled with evidence of guilt.
After listening to Li Gan read out the evidence of his crime, the officials in the hall looked at Yang Hong with hatred.
"In Jishan County, more than a dozen villages were submerged by floods, and the people were displaced and homeless despite the heavy rain."
After receiving a large amount of money, the supervisory envoy Yang Hong It is written that Jishan County was not affected by the disaster, and under the governance of the county magistrate, the people lived and worked happily.
Of course, Yang Hong was not only corrupt, but Gao Shilian also found out many of his violations of law and discipline.
Gao Shilian showed no mercy to Yang Hong, who was begging for mercy, and said with a cold face and waved his sleeves.
"Drag him out and put him in prison, and I will kill him on another day!"
When Yang Hong was dragged out, he shouted, "Gao Shilian, I am a member of the Yang family in Hongnong. You can't kill me." Me!"
Gao Shilian's expression was unmoved.
"Come, go to Jishan County, capture the county magistrate Wei Ping and escort him back to the state capital."
After Yang Hong was dealt with, Gao Shilian sent people to Jishan County again. Shan County captured Wei Ping.
It is a disaster for those who live in the dead body to keep it.
A county cannot be without its chief official, so Gao Shilian sent someone from the state capital to temporarily take over Jishan County.
...
Longmen County.
Wang Jian took Xu Hu to drink tea at Ma Zhou's mansion.
There were also Li Fugui, Zhu Youcai and other members of the business alliance in the room.
Majiazhuang’s wine shop in the county has been renovated, and the opening time has been set, which is tomorrow.
Wang Jian came to the county town to invite Ma Zhou and people from the business alliance to attend the opening day.
And as an important guest, Ma Zhou also had to take the lead in cutting the ribbon.
This chapter is not finished yet, click on the next page to continue reading.
"Vice President Wang, we will be there tomorrow with generous gifts."
"It would be great if Majiazhuang came to the county to open a wine shop. From now on, we will have an extra place to eat and talk. "
"I heard from the president that Majiazhuang's cooking skills are unparalleled in the world. I've been craving for it for a long time."
Li Fugui and others congratulated Wang Jian. Threatened to show up with generous gifts.
These people do not run wine shops, so if Majiazhuang comes to the county to open a wine shop, it will not conflict with their business.
On the contrary, the food and drinks needed by the wine shop must be purchased from them, which invisibly increases their income.
"Then I will be waiting for you all to come tomorrow."
Wang Jian smiled and held his hands towards them.
After finishing talking, these merchants left one after another.
In the study, only Wang Jian, Ma Zhou and Xu Hu were left.
Xu Hu buried his head in eating cakes and was not interested in what Wang Jian and the others were talking about.
"Brother Ma, have you encountered something difficult?"
Wang Jian looked at Ma Zhou with a frown and a worried look on his face, and couldn't help but asked curiously.
In his impression, Ma ZhouNo matter how big the situation is, he always looks high-spirited.
Rarely have I been so depressed.
From the beginning of the conversation, Ma Zhou forced a smile and Wang Jian could tell that Ma Zhou was in trouble.
There were just too many people, so he didn’t ask.
"Hey, Brother Wang, I feel a little upset for you."
Ma Zhou nodded and sighed.
"Brother Ma, is it convenient to talk about what is bothering you? Maybe I can give you some advice."
"The thing is like this..."
Ma Zhou told the story of receiving Inspector Yang.
After listening, Wang Jian knew what was going on.
It turned out that Ma Zhou did not bribe the supervisor because he was worried that he would cause trouble when he returned.
The efforts of hundreds of officers and soldiers in Longmen County to conduct inspections despite heavy rain were in vain.
Ma Zhou himself didn't care, he just felt ashamed of these officers and soldiers.
But he always sticks to his integrity, which prevents him from doing bribery.
To put it mildly, Ma Zhou is unwilling to join in the evil deeds and is upright and upright.
What is unpleasant to say is that Ma Zhou does not understand the ways of being an official.
Wang Jian patted Ma Zhou on the shoulder and said.
"Brother Ma, a gentleman can be magnanimous and have a clear conscience."
"I believe that Gao Jishi will not be deceived by villains, and your Majesty is not a mediocre person."

Ma Zhou smiled bitterly and said, "Hey, I hope."
Is Longmen County short of money?
There is no shortage.
Since Longmen County took over the Yulong Gang, the county government has a lot of money.
Ma Zhou was not willing to hand over the money to the supervisor in vain. He was more willing to use the money to do work-for-relief.
Give the money to the people so that they can survive this disaster year.
"Knock knock knock."
"Master, good news, good news!"
Outside the door, Ma Zhou's old housekeeper gently knocked He opened the door and said with a bit of surprise in his tone.
"Come in."
After hearing Ma Zhou's words, the old housekeeper gently opened the door, and the wrinkles on his face opened with a smile.
He knew the relationship between Wang Jian and the master, and he did not shy away from telling the news directly.
"Sir, Governor Gao has detained the supervisor who lied about the disaster. It is said that this supervisor is Mr. Yang."
"And the magistrate of Jishan County also He was imprisoned for dereliction of duty and was taken to the governor's office for interrogation."
This was not only good news for Ma Zhou, but also good news for Wang Jian.
Xue Rengui and others offended the magistrate of Jishan County because of Chen Gong's family affairs.
It's good now, Wei Ping was arrested and the potential crisis was resolved.
What a surprise!
After learning that Inspector Yang was caught lying about the disaster, Ma Zhou finally smiled.
"Your Majesty is wise and the governor has great opinions!"
Ma Zhou faced the direction of Chang'an, respectfully, and saluted with his hands in hand.
