Han official!

Chapter 65: Zhang Family
Guo Jie was also stunned, not understanding why the Maoling Ling's face looked so ugly.

He was an official under Zhao Yu and did not care about the opinion of the Maoling Magistrate.

"Mr. Zhao."

Guo Jie jumped off the open carriage and bowed, saying, "Qiu Jing of Kunchi has been kidnapping and selling off dozens of doctors. A minor official accidentally saw this. Qiu Jing actually attacked and killed officials at the government temple. All members of the Qiu family have been executed."

Executed?

Genocide!

Guo Jie knew that Zhao Yu was a cruel official, and he still felt a little nervous when he heard that he had wiped out Qiu Jing's entire family.

After all, several people dying at once is a major case.

He killed nearly two hundred people at one time.

"Good! Good! Good!"

Zhao Yu clapped his hands, laughed heartily, and cheered three times. Seeing Guo Jie's anxious expression, he consoled him, "It's only a few hundred men. As long as there aren't more than a thousand, it's fine. If anything happens, even if the Chief Justice, one of the Nine Ministers, comes to question you, I have this official to defend you."

Zhang Tang said sternly, "Everything is in accordance with the law. You are my subordinate, and I will protect you."

"You guys!"

The Maoling Magistrate couldn't bear to see the harmonious relationship between the senior and junior officials. He threw his sleeves hard and left the Chang'an official temple in anger: "Wan Zimeng and Wan Zhang are such incompetent dogs. How dare they give away 20,000 dan of millet from me."

"Guo Jie!"

Wan Zimeng's face was filled with anger. He gripped the two-foot sword at his waist tightly, his old face full of sorrow. "If my grandson Wanzhang dies at your hands and your family fortune is depleted, I will avenge my grandson."

"Mr. Zhao."

Before he could finish, Yu Sikong hurried in with someone and said, "Lei Bei, the number one swordsman in Huainan, has arrived. He said he's here to turn himself in. Wan Zhang, the grandson of Wan Zimeng, the flag chief of Liushi, wanted to kill him to make a name for himself. Lei Bei killed Wan Zhang."

Lei. Lei quilt?

Wan Zimeng was stunned for a moment.

No more words of revenge.

Liu An, King of Huainan, repeatedly summoned Lei Bei to be a high-ranking guest in his residence.

Wan Zimeng was a low-ranking guest of Dou Ying, the Marquis of Weiqi. How could he dare to seek revenge on Lei Bei? He could only swallow the bitter fruit of his grandson Wan Zhang's brutal murder.

His body slumped, as if he had aged ten years, and he staggered out of the Chang'an official temple.

Guo Jie frowned. Since they had already made enemies, he had to wipe out the entire Wan family in Liushi.

Keeping it is always a disaster.

"Ah."

Zhao Yu sneered, staring at Wan Zimeng's figure and said, "Guo Jie, I order you to go to Liushi and investigate whether the Wan family in Liushi has been corrupt and abused their power over the years. If you find any, you will execute them."

Guo Jie was overjoyed, and like a sleepy pillow, he cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Lord Zhao. This clerk will thoroughly inspect the entire Wan family in Liushi."

The Wan family in Liushi is really stupid.

Why offend the cruel official Zhao Yu when there are so many people to offend?

Thousands of dukes, ministers, marquises, and members of the Liu clan died at the hands of Zhao Yu.

Forehead.
Also.

Neither Zhao Yu nor Zhang Tang has become a cruel official feared by officials all over the world.

They were just two of the more famous cruel officials in the Chang'an government.

Guo Jie thought to himself that standing in line is a technical job. No matter how capable one is within the system, it is not as good as standing in line.

The future trend is to closely follow the footsteps of Zhao Yu and Zhang Tang.

At least you can survive the purges.

"Guo Jie."

Before Zhang Tang returned to his seat, he thought of something: "Twenty thousand dan of millet can buy you a title and atone for four lives. Return and hand over four volumes of love letters. Your love letters, or those of your relatives and friends, can all atone for your sins. Also, write down the major cases in Kunchi and hand them over to this official."

Writing a love letter means closing the case directly.

The fact that Guo Jie surrendered 20,000 dan of grain twice, totaling 40,000 dan, cemented his reputation as an honest and upright official in the minds of Zhao Yu and Zhang Tang.

Zhang Tang trusted Guo Jie quite a bit, so he closed the case directly without conducting a trial.

Zei Cao and Yu Sikong looked at Guo Jie differently, with a little more caution, thinking that this was the first time Zhang Tang trusted someone so much.

"Mr. Zhang, please take a look."

Guo Jie had already written the love letter. On the way here, he dictated it and Yi Shuo wrote it down.

He handed over the letter and said, "This clerk has already written it in advance. It records the entire process of this case in detail, from the time when a man named Tian Dian from Qili kidnapped a doctor in Chang'an City, to the time when Qiu Jing used the doctor to induce the birth of a bezoar. Everything is recorded in the file, without any omission."

Tian Dian from Qili?
Zhao Yu and Zhang Tang stopped walking at the same time, turned around suddenly, and stared at Guo Jie with surprise in their eyes.

An insignificant Tian Dian.

It seems like he has become an important person.

"Thief Cao, Prison Sikong."

Zhao Yu's expression was filled with a mixture of cruelty and excitement. "Immediately bring the thief catcher and the prison officer with me to Qili to apprehend the wanted criminal. Remember not to let any of them escape, haha!"

He was so excited that he couldn't help laughing. "Also, go call the lieutenant and recruit some night watchmen to go to Qili together."

Zhao Yu hurriedly left the Chang'an official temple with the thief Cao and the prison Sikong and went to Qili to capture the wanted criminal, without worrying about offending the relatives living in Qili.

Zhang Tang also hurried away. Halfway through, he suddenly turned back and said, "Bring the guards from the Gaojie Duting with you. Remember to open the five armors, put on armor and hold shields, and rush to the Lumen of Qili as soon as possible."

Guo Jie was confused and didn't know what was going on.

A small Tian Dian.

There's no need to mobilize such a large force.

The capital's Public Security Bureau, prison, and People's Armed Forces Department, plus his position as the Public Security Bureau chief of a district bureau.

Four departments jointly handled the case.

Guo Jie came from within the system, and when he heard that two departments were jointly handling a case, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart, let alone four departments jointly handling a case.

He immediately went back to open the Five Armor Storehouses, put on fish-scale armor, and hurried to the gate of Qili with twenty guards wearing red-ribboned armor.

"Injustice!"

"How dare you arrest me!"

"Hurry and go find Marquis Xuanping."

Guo Jie had just arrived at the gate of the neighborhood when he heard a commotion in the neighborhood and the thieves and police were arresting people.

Or rush into the house of the in-laws and arrest people!
Guo Jie was shocked: "Are Lord Zhao and Lord Zhang trying to arrest my relatives?!"

The prison officer, who was standing guard at the gate, nodded and said, "The one they arrested is Zhang Shou."

Who?
Zhang Shou!

Guo Jie was completely shocked. Not only was a relative of the emperor arrested, but he was also a high-ranking relative of the Zhang family.

The Zhang family, a family of relatives by marriage, came from Empress Zhang Yan during the reign of Emperor Hui of Han.

The Zhang family is not only the empress's maternal relative, but also the descendant of Zhang Ao, the Marquis of Xuanping, one of the 18 marquises appointed at the beginning of the Han Dynasty.

Zhang Ao's son Zhang Yan was even canonized by Empress Lü as the King of Lu Yuan, a king of a different surname.

Later, the kings of different surnames were abolished, and Zhang Yan's two younger brothers, Zhang Shou, were granted the title of Marquis of Lechang, and Zhang Chi was granted the title of Marquis of Xindu.

A family with three marquises shows its nobility.

It was not until the death of Empress Dowager Lü that the titles of the brothers Zhang Yan and Zhang Shou were abolished.

Later, Emperor Wen ascended the throne and re-enfeoffed Zhang Yan as Marquis of Nangong, and his son Zhang Ou inherited his ancestor's title as Marquis of Xuanping.

Only seventeen years had passed since Emperor Wen of Han, and the Zhang family, the foreign relatives of the Han Dynasty, were still prominent foreign relatives.

He was actually arrested by Zhao Yu and Zhang Tang on the pretext of something?
