Chapter 173 Someone Has to Take the Blame (Third Watch Comes)

The people of Dinghai County were naturally convinced when they heard that Mr. Chu came back to preside over the overall situation, and now that Chu Xian was speaking, no one dared not to listen to it. The lesson from the past was there.

Zhang Kang'an's family, who was the most troublesome before, was because he was smart and didn't listen to Lord Chu. In the end, his family was ruined and his family was destroyed. Even the whole Hedi Village was massacred by the monsters.

This is the bloody lesson.

Fortunately, Zhang Kang'an's son and daughter were rescued by Master Chu after the Zhang family was still alive, which at least gave everyone a comfort.

At this time, Chu Xian knew the details of the Yaozu invasion this time, including the destruction of two counties and tens of thousands of civilians who were killed or injured.

In fact, this is not bad. Chu Xian knew that his previous "rattling" still had an effect. Otherwise, not only two counties fell this time, but the number would be many times higher.

Everyone knew that Chu Xian was going to make a contribution this time.

Many officials actually came to make friends with Chu Xian in advance, most of them sent various gifts for the reason of gratitude, and even some officials came to visit and express condolences in person. Suddenly, Dinghai County was extremely lively.

Chu Xian did not return those gifts of thanks, but took them all as they were ordered, but they were all included in the county's account and distributed to rebuild their homes.

……

Zhenxi City, at the moment in the city mansion, the government decree, the chief secretary, etc. are all standing tremblingly, because now, officials of their level are not qualified to sit.

Because in the hall, Liangzhou Inspector, Liangzhou Governor, Liangzhou Military Mansion Sima, and Shengchao Pingyao Imperial Envoy are all present. I dare not.

Of course, the most important thing is that they knew that they had neglected their duties in the matter of defending against the monster clan, and they knew that the Shangguan was here to hold them accountable, so they were worried and sweated for a long time.

At this moment, the governor of Liangzhou is talking about the process of the Yaozu invasion, including which places were breached, how many casualties, and which places did a good job, which can be used as a reference for praise. Of course, the focus is on the reaction speed and counterattack strength of the state capital this time. Well, not only the governor personally went out, but the speed with which soldiers and horses were mobilized from all over the country was also remarkable.

The demon clan and demon king who were slaughtered should be mentioned more emphatically.

This is a convention, which sounds nice, but obviously, everyone knows that's not the point.

No matter how fast the counterattack was this time, no matter how many demon kings were beheaded this time, it is beyond doubt that the entire Liangzhou was negligent in defense. No one can shirk responsibility for this, especially the place under the jurisdiction of Zhenxi City. This is the focus of the Yaozu invasion this time, the counties lost and the people killed and injured are the most.

These all require someone to take responsibility.

The question is, who will bear the burden?

From top to bottom, all the officials in Zhenxi Mansion are afraid to speak out. After all, this time the incident is too big. If it is really investigated, they count as one, and they don't want to get rid of the responsibility.

These officials were all afraid in their hearts, they were all afraid that the blame would fall on them, and they all hoped that someone would take the blame for them, so they lowered their heads and remained silent.

After a short silence, Su Wenzheng, the governor of Liangzhou, stood up suddenly and said, "The city government is responsible for the negligence of the county defense, and the state government is responsible for the negligence of the city defense. I am the governor of Liangzhou. I should take the main responsibility for this matter." , Yesterday I wrote to Shengchao Shoufu Pavilion to resign, and Shoufu Pavilion has given permission, allowing me to retire and return to my hometown."

In a word, everyone's hearts jumped wildly.

Who would have thought that Lord Inspector would resign on his own initiative because of this matter. This responsibility is indeed admirable, but the problem is that Lord Inspector has already 'resigned', so what should they do?
And those who know the inside story know that Su Wenzheng's hometown is also in a county on the border of Liangzhou. He resigned because of guilt, and wanted to go back to the border. With him, Daxiu, at least that area can be guaranteed to be free from worries for decades. .

This can be regarded as a punishment for himself.

Even if the governor is like this, the officials below should not think that they can get away with it this time.

After Su Wenzheng finished speaking, Gu Qingzhou, governor of Liangzhou, also said: "I am the governor of Liangzhou. I have not supervised well, and I can't escape the responsibility. I have written a letter, allowing me to demote myself to three ranks, and go to Huaishan County to serve as the county magistrate."

The officials of the city government were already sweating profusely.

Mr. Changshi actually demoted himself to three levels for this matter. The dignified governor Shi, who is a fifth rank, actually became the county magistrate of the eighth rank. This is simply slapping them in the face.

Just think about it carefully, and you will know that the county that Gu Qingzhou said to go to is one of the two counties that were slaughtered this time, Huaishan County.

A large county was slaughtered overnight by the monster clan. Gu Qingzhou's move is to take responsibility and rebuild Huaishan County.

Sima Peng Sihai of the military mansion also got up at this moment. He is a martial arts master, and his momentum is so strong that no one dares to look at him. At this moment, this martial arts master who is over [-] years old said: "Master Gu, go to Huaishan. Then I will go to Runjiang County."

To put it simply, it already shows that he also demoted himself to become a county magistrate.

Of the three giants in Liangzhou, one resigned and went home with guilt, and the other two demoted to the third level to become county magistrates. , the most is the lack of supervision, but even so, the three of them never thought of getting away with it.

This is the conduct of Hajj officials.

The order of Zhenxi City Mansion came out at this moment, and then said: "I am convicted, and I am willing to follow Master Gu and go to Huaishan County together. Master Gu arranges what to do, whether it is a master book or a document, even if it is a junior with no rank Officials, lower officials will never complain."

Gu Qingzhou glanced at the Zhenxi City Government Order and knew that the other party was responsible, but this time, they were able to respond so quickly thanks to the other party's advance letter, focusing on the discovery of Dinghai County Prime Minister Chuxian, so they were able to mobilize the army as soon as possible. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to react within a day at that time.

Speaking of which, the other party has done something and made merit.

But the fault is greater than the merit, and letting the other party go down to the county is considered a slight punishment. Thinking of this, Gu Qingzhou said: "Then you, come and be a clerk."

Zhenxi City Mansion Order is the sixth grade, and the clerk is only from the ninth grade, which is enough to be downgraded.

At this moment, the chief secretary of Zhenxi City Mansion is still a little hesitant.

He thought about it, he was just the chief scribe, and the county defense and city defense were not in his charge, so why should he take responsibility?Of course, he didn't dare to say this, but he didn't want to downgrade himself. You must know how much he paid and how much time he spent in order to get to his current position. willing.

Therefore, he is hesitating and wants to delay the time to see the situation.

This is a normal state of mind.

Originally, he was the No. [-] person in Zhenxi City, but now he lowered his head and said nothing. After waiting for a long time, some other officials also kept silent, and some really felt ashamed, or they were degraded. , or resign altogether.

At this moment, Su Wenzheng said: "Supervision Censor, where is Mr. Lu?"

The next moment, a person walked in from outside, it was Lu Jianzhi, the censor who was stationed in Liangzhou.

"Lord Lu, tell me." Su Wenzheng said politely.

Lu Jianzhi nodded, bowed his hands to Su Wenzheng, Gu Qingzhou and Peng Sihai, and said: "The three adults are admirable, and they really set an example for us as officials."

After finishing speaking, Lu Jianzhi had a serious face, looked at the officials in Zhenxi City, and said in a deep voice: "The three adults are willing to take responsibility, but among you, there are real sinners who intend to get away with it. Is the censor a display?"

Angrily reprimanded.

Immediately, many officials felt their hearts beating faster. Obviously, they had a guilty conscience and dared not look at Lu Jianzhi at all.

It's just obvious that in the current situation, if you don't talk, you think it's okay?

too naive.

At that moment, Lu Jianzhi said coldly: "Since you don't want to admit your crimes, let me say it."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly pointed to Hou Jing, the chief secretary of Zhenxi City, and said, "Hou Jing, the chief secretary of Zhenxi Cheng, these years, how many benefits have you been greedy for from below, don't you know yourself? The county defense reported by the county below , How much have you intervened? How much benefit have you gained from it, do you want me to say it in public?"

Hou Jing, the chief secretary over there, was trembling with fright, and his clothes were soaked in cold sweat at this moment.

He was very clear about his crimes, but he still saved a little bit of luck. At this moment, he pretended to be calm and said: "Lord Lu, don't spit blood. Hou is upright and has never done anything wrong."

"How dare you speak hard!" Lu Jianzhi shook his head: "You really won't cry when you see the coffin, come here, and bring Wu Degui, the former county captain of Dinghai County."

Upon hearing Wu Degui's name, Hou Jing's face was as pale as a pig's liver, and he saw Wu Degui being tied up and brought up. It seemed that he had already been tortured, so don't mention the miserable appearance. If Hou Jing was not familiar with Wu Degui, this at first glance Looking at it, I really can't recognize it.

"Wu Degui, I've already told you all the benefits I've given you over the years. You've deducted 20 taels of county defense silver over the years. This is only in one county. What about other counties? I'm afraid it's only a lot more. " Lu Jianzhi's voice was murderous, and he was really angry.

As far as the state capital is concerned, there has never been less money in the lower part of the city, but when it comes to the city capital, it will start to make a name for it and start embezzlement. Otherwise, the defenses of the counties in various places will not be so fragile, just like Huaishan County and Runjiang County. It was because the county defenses were in vain, and as soon as the Yaozu came, they were directly breached, and there was no county army, so naturally there was no resistance, and the city was massacred by the Yaozu.

This is a serious crime, a serious crime enough to kill ten thousand times.

In fact, when Hou Jing saw Wu Degui, Hou Jing already softened.

Wu Degui knew too many things, no matter how hard he tried to deny it, it was useless. Thinking of this, Hou Jing's body tilted and he fell directly to the ground.

"Come on, arrest him!" Lu Jianzhi gave an order, and Hou Jing, the chief secretary of the city government, was locked up by official shackles.
