I will be the master of Xuande

Chapter 494 How beneficial is the knife in Liu Jian's hand!
"Dong dong dong dong!"

The drum beating sounded enough to shake the entire mountain city from the county office mansion.

As for the local officials who were escorted to the government office by Hebei sergeants, their faces were pale and their hands trembled slightly, as if they couldn't hide their fear at the moment.

Zhang Fei sat at the main seat, Zhao Yun sat at his lower seat, and Zhang Yang was guarded by Zhang Fei's personal guards and knelt in front of the hall, with his head bowed, with an expression of dissatisfaction.

When I was young, a group of officials entered the eldest son's county office one after another. These people were all Zhang Yang's former subordinates, but now seeing their chief kneeling there, none of the Shangdang officials would pay more attention to Zhang Yang.

After they glanced at Zhang Yang, they immediately looked away and stood on both sides of the hall with their heads down.

Although Zhang Yang has been in Shangdang for many years, he has not given much kindness to Shangdang. After all, he is not a man of integrity. , and later returned to Yuan Shao, it can be said that he is a fool who attaches great importance to personal interests.

It is not a wrong thing to value personal interests, but it is difficult to win people's hearts because of excessive emphasis on personal interests while ignoring the interests that others deserve.

Seeing that almost all the officials in the county who were supposed to come had arrived, Zhang Fei immediately ordered his subordinates to take out the roster and roll their names one by one to see who hadn't arrived yet.

Soon, the personnel checks were completed, and there were still five officials from the county office in the eldest son's county seat.

Zhang Fei asked if the news had been delivered to the five people, but his subordinates told them that the summons had been delivered, but the five people did not come because they did not come on purpose.

Zhang Fei nodded without saying much, and then interrogated Zhang Yang in public.

Seeing Zhang Fei finally interrogating himself, Zhang Yang hurriedly said loudly: "Yi Degong! The last official is innocent!"

"Guilty or not, you didn't say it yourself, I need to interrogate and verify."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Fei looked at everyone present, and said in a voice like thunder: "The general led the heavenly soldiers to conquer the traitor Luan Tiyu Fuluo, do you know?"

The officials who belonged to the Shangdang present were suddenly unprepared when Zhang Fei asked them, and they didn't know how to answer.

Seeing that no one answered, Zhang Fei's face turned dark all of a sudden.

He yelled viciously: "Why don't you answer!"

This roar scared all the officials present into a trance.

Zhang Fei's voice was really too loud, like thunder, which made everyone present nervous.

When I was young, I saw an official from Shangdang County standing up and bowing to Zhang Fei: "Master Zhang, General Fuyuan led his troops into Bingzhou to conquer Luan Tiyu Fuluo's grand plan, we all know about it."

Zhang Fei stared at the official seriously: "Wait, you know, General Fuyuan is involved in the matter of collecting 20 shi for food and grass in the Shangdang?"

Everyone, you look at me, and I look at you.

"When you return to the country, we also know about it."

"Then Shangdang, what preparations have you made?"

All the officials did not answer again.

"Say!"

A thunderous sound exploded in the hall again.

An official stood up in a hurry and said to Zhang Fei: "Minister of the State, all affairs in the county, whether they are official documents from the state or superiors, will be completed as official documents, and there will be archives to check, so that they can be planned at the end of the year... Later, the county's official documents on raising grain and grass can be transferred out for Zhang Guoxiang's review."

A smile appeared on Zhang Fei's always serious and cold face.

"Since there are archives to check, what are you waiting for? I would like to trouble you to call out the files quickly... You all go, and supervise each other to prevent anyone from secretly cheating. Zilong, you go with them!"

"Here!"

Zhao Yun cupped his hands at Zhang Fei, then stood up, and said to the Shangdang county officials present: "It is my duty, Yun needs to accompany you all, and after the check is completed, please sign your name with me. Let’s make a proof and deliver it to Chang’an!”

How can the officials of Shangdang refuse to obey?

Afterwards, they led Zhao Yun to the warehouse where the archives were stored, retrieved the archives related to General Fuyuan's conquest of Yufulo, and recorded them uniformly.

In the final transfer procedure, Zhao Yun and all the officials signed and pledged as proof.

Returning to the main hall with those files, under the supervision of Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, the officials of Shangdang opened all the files related to the grain collection this time, and asked the officials of the county office to record the main and detailed contents. Finally, everyone present The person signs and pledges again.

Through investigation, it was learned that after Zhang Yang received Liu Jian's order to collect grain and fodder, although he took the order, he did not make any substantive actions related to the collection of grain and fodder at the local level. war.

After Zhang Fei finished reading these, he threw those bamboo slips in front of Zhang Yang one by one.

"Zhang Yang! The general sent troops to attack the Hun rebels and ordered you to collect 20 shi of grain and grass within [-] days. You agreed verbally, but in fact you delayed the military plan and did nothing. What should you do?! You deserve to be punished!"

Zhang Yang panicked after being scolded by Zhang Fei.

He hurriedly said: "Mr. Yide, I have been wronged in this matter! Although the general has issued a military order to complete the collection of food and grass within fifteen days, I have already sent someone to tell the general that people in Shangdang counties are suffering. There is not enough food and grass, and it is absolutely impossible to gather 20 shi of food in a short time, please allow me a few days to make other arrangements..."

Zhang Fei said slowly: "Then where are the official documents you allocated?"

"This……"

"Hmph! You dare to deny that you are delaying the military plane on purpose? You should be dealt with according to the military law for delaying the military plane! I will behead you today for public display, and I forgive you for not refusing to accept it!"

Zhang Yang panicked when he heard the words: "No, no! It's not for me to deny it, the general did allow me not to prepare food and grass..."

Zhang Fei said slowly: "You said that the general allowed you not to prepare food and fodder, is there any proof?"

"This……"

Hearing this, Zhang Yang almost cried out of breath.

Where can I find evidence for this matter?

These words were all brought back by his envoy, and he didn't even get back a single letter from Liu Jian. They were all verbal promises. How can there be proof?

Suddenly, Zhang Yang seemed to think of something suddenly.

He looked at Zhao Yun as if he had found a savior, and shouted hissingly: "This matter, this matter... Captain Zilong can prove it. Zhao Jun came here last night to send a message on behalf of the general, saying that I am allowed to delay raising food and grass time..."

Zhao Yun said indifferently: "Mr. Zhang, if you talk about evidence, Yun has never said that."

Zhang Yang stared blankly at the solemn Zhao Yun, then at Zhang Fei, who was speaking righteously and sternly, and then looked around at the surrounding county officials, and suddenly shouted like crazy: "You, you You are trying to harm me! You are deliberately framing me! You, you are all despicable villains!"

"Bastard!"

Zhang Fei said furiously, "You deliberately slacked off and delayed the military plane! How dare you speak nonsense here now!"

"Besides, even if the general is sympathetic to the people here and allows the postponement of the requisition of food and grass, but you have done nothing here, and you have done nothing to share the country's worries. Isn't this a crime? When things come to an end, you will not only deny the crime, but also False accusations against others! It's really a car!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Fei glanced back and forth at the officials present with piercing eyes, and said: "The general commanded the imperial court to have arbitrary power over foreigners. Zhang was ordered by the general to be the vanguard of conquering the traitors of the Xiongnu. Liangcao came to investigate this matter, and he has the right to make a decision before the battle!"

"Today, Zhang Yang missed the military plane. The evidence and witnesses are all ready. The crime lies in the theory of military law. It cannot be tolerated... Someone, drag Zhang Yang down and behead him!"

Zhang Yang was terrified, and shouted at Zhang Fei: "Zhang Fei! I am the head of a big county, a prefect, and an official of two thousand stones. How dare you kill me!?"

But Zhang Fei didn't take Zhang Yang's roar seriously at all, he just waved his hands impatiently, and several of Zhang Fei's relatives escorted Zhang Yang to the outside.

Zhang Yang struggled desperately, not wanting to be killed, but to no avail.

"Zhang Fei, Idiot! Zhao Yun, Idiot! I will never let you two go!

In the end, Zhang Yang's head was taken up by the guards, and Zhang Fei ordered people to send Zhang Yang's head and the signatures of all the people present to Liu Jian's place.

As for the five officials who were not present, Zhang Fei did not make things difficult for them. He and Zhao Yun went door-to-door and went to the door in person to invite these five people out, and let them return to the official office, still in their original positions, to win people's hearts and stabilize the situation.

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, these two sharp swords belong to Liu Jian. After years of training by Liu Jian, they have been honed to be extremely sharp. A quick knife to solve problems with thrift!
