Xie Xiuwen was a little surprised, but he regained his composure after a while.

"I heard him say before that he wanted to be released as an official so that he could do some practical things for the people. Unexpectedly, this time he would think of sending him to the Xiangzhou government."

Zhao Yue didn't pay too much attention to Xie Lin. After all, he was not a direct descendant of the Xie family. The one Zhao Yue paid the most close attention to was the Xie family of Anhe Street.

"The Holy Majesty has decreed that the official title is the sixth rank, and the parent official of a county."

He didn't say too much, but Xie Xiuwen understood everything.

Unless it is a big county, the grade of the county magistrate cannot reach the sixth grade.

Xie Xiuwen was silent for a moment and said: "Xie Lin deserves this important task. Now that the officials of Xiangzhou Prefecture are involved in the incident, the people's prestige of the court has been shaken a little. He can propose to release it at this time, which shows his determination .”

Zhao Yue smiled: "You think highly of him."

Xie Xiuwen raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing.

Ten days later, Xie Xiuwen and Xie Lin met in Xiangzhou Mansion.

The two made an appointment at a tea house by the river.

"In a few days, the results of the college examination will be released. At that time, I will return to Beijing to take my order. If you have any difficulties in Xiangzhou Mansion in the future, you can write to me."

"Brother Zicheng, don't worry, my younger brother will definitely disturb you from time to time."

After talking and laughing, the way of getting along between the two has returned to normal.

Before Xie Xiuwen left, he handed him a thick letter and told him to read it after he arrived at the county government.

"They are just some of my suggestions. Maybe you can use them. I hope the people of Xiangzhou Prefecture can live and work in peace and contentment. In a few years, Xiangzhou Prefecture will produce some students who are famous all over the world."

"I wish so."

When Xie Lin released the letter this time, he naturally brought his family members with him. When he went back to the study and read the letter, he felt restless for a long time.

These are all practical ways to solve the people's plight. Xie Xiuwen told him without any conditions and without reservation. Xie Lin's admiration for his brother was beyond words.

This time Xie Xiuwen stayed in Xiangzhou Mansion until June before he was able to return to Beijing for his mission.

Originally, they were investigating a case of false registration in Xiangzhou Prefecture. Unexpectedly, they also discovered a case of imperial examination fraud that took place several years ago.

Who would have thought that dozens of officials from the Xiangzhou Prefecture would be implicated just by being a scholar.

Not only that, when the house was searched, evidence was found that officials at all levels had embezzled money without paying taxes, and a large amount of gold and silver was also discovered, which was really an unexpected surprise.

It wasn't until all the officials in Xiangzhou Prefecture were imprisoned by Zhao Yue that Beijing heard the news. Who would have thought that Xie Xiuwen went to Xiangzhou Prefecture and directly killed all the local officials?
This time, there was a major earthquake in the officialdom of Xiangzhou Prefecture.

The one who lost the most was naturally Mr. Qin Ge.

Qin mansion, study room.

Qin Ge sat crookedly on the couch, his face a bit haggard.

He has already asked for two days of sick leave. If he continues to rest, he is afraid that there will be some unpleasant voices from the court.

"Old Qin Ge, you must take good care of yourself, you are the backbone of us!"

Xie Mingyi and Liu Qing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, both came to visit the sick. Firstly, they wanted to find out if Mr. Ge was really ill; hands on.

Mr. Qin Ge smiled helplessly: "I am getting older. If your Majesty wants to do practical things and become the emperor of the ages, he must rely on more young ministers. This is also inevitable. As we get older, we should give more support to the young people. There’s nothing wrong with giving way.”

Xie Mingyi was the first to disagree: "Where did Mr. Qin Ge say this? It's because we are old and lack of energy, but these experiences are all for nothing? The old saying is good, there is no hair on the mouth , the work is not secure. Then Xie Xiuwen is really too courageous. He went to the Xiangzhou government and took down all the officials without making a sound. What do other local officials think of this? What will we do with this job in the future?"

Liu Qing also deeply agrees: "Officials are mostly not easy to send out. According to the rules of our ancestors, if you can't go back to your hometown to work, it's just that some opportunities are good, and you can barely return to a place adjacent to your hometown to be an official. So, there are many problems. Now Xie Xiuwen's move really scared the courtiers."

The more Xie Mingyi thought about it, the more angry he became: "A few years ago, in the corruption case in Taiyuan, the Holy One only cut down a few, and most officials still only reprimanded but did not convict. What does this mean? Those of us who are officials in Beijing , You can’t think about showing off in everything. Even the Holy Majesty knows to leave some room, but this Xie Xiuwen doesn’t know the importance.”

These words spoke to Mr. Qin Ge's heart.

It's just that he is an old fox, and he knows some things well, but he will never say them clearly.

"Lord Xie, don't be angry. From my point of view, after Xie Xiuwen returns to Beijing, I'm afraid he won't get well. I'm afraid he still hasn't figured out the truth that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. Although we have also sent people to take over, it still depends on the attitude of the Holy One."

What Liu Qing meant was that he did not believe that the emperor would really wipe out the entire Xiangzhou government officialdom. The emperor would always leave some leeway for these veterans, and the governor of Xiangzhou had been praised during the late emperor's time. Just for this, the emperor It will always be dealt with lightly.

Qin Ge listened for a while, and then said: "These criminals will be escorted back to the capital. At that time, I have to trouble the two adults to walk around. Let's work together in the same dynasty. See how many can be saved, and how many can be saved. one."

The implication is that everyone thinks of a way together, and we can't really annihilate these people, otherwise it will be of no benefit to them if it is spread.

This point, Xie Mingyi and Liu Qing naturally also know it well.

Xie Xiuwen returned to Beijing first. The matter of escorting prisoners was not under his control. That was the matter of the Governor's Mansion.

He had expected that this trip would not be peaceful, but he did not expect that some people would be so bold.

Li Shan dealt with a man in black, then turned to help Li Si. Although Douzi and Chen Shuang were not as skilled as them, they were still holding big swords and were ready to attack.

Xie Xiuwen had expected that someone would want his life, but he didn't expect the other party to be so eager. He had just left the boundary of Xiangzhou Mansion, and couldn't bear it anymore.

"My lord, don't come out. The current situation is in our favor. It won't take long for these men in black to be executed."

Although Xie Xiuwen was scared, he still raised the curtain and looked outside. Sure enough, seven or eight corpses fell on the ground, and several people were surrounded by Li Shan and the others. There was no longer any threat.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking that before leaving, he not only deliberately said that he would take the waterway, but also deliberately arranged for someone to make a false shot, but he did not expect that his whereabouts were still exposed.

Did someone around me have an inner ghost, or did it leak from Zhao Yue?
When the last person was kicked to the ground, Xie Xiuwen quickly shouted: "Keep alive!"
