"Jiang...you are Jiang...Master Jiang!" Guo Shuyu cried, "I am so young that I am so blind. I don't know that the great master is the famous hero of Fuhu! Jiang Dacheng, your name is the hero of Fuhuhu.

It was passed from Jinshan County to us, you are a well-deserved hero!”

Jiang Lie took back the Pingxue Sword, kicked Guo Shuyu down, and said angrily: "I still have to thank you for your blessing. If you don't have you, I wouldn't have the chance to have the title of the Great Hero of Fuhu!"

Guo Shuyu lay on the ground, not daring to scream in pain, but just said in confusion: "Thank you my blessing? Why did Lord Jiang say this?"

"Did you have about 200 workers who are working under your command of the river embankment on strike and resign?" Jiang Lie asked.

Guo Shuyu nodded without hesitation: "That's the case."

Jiang Lie snorted coldly: "I'll let you know the truth! The two hundred tiger spirits who had committed crimes in Jinshan were originally the workers who built river embankments under your command! They originally wanted to be content with their own self-discipline like ordinary humans.

Life is like you, a damn corrupt official, who doesn’t pay wages, forcing the beastly nature of those tiger spirits and forcing them to Jinshan!”

Guo Shuyu widened his eyes and his lips twitched: "Impossible...No...How could this be..."

"Sir Guo, so, is this really the case for you to deduct wages?" Jiang Lie crossed Guo Shuyu's body, leaned down, and stared at Guo Shuyu's eyes.

Guo Shuyu responded with a vague look on his face: "Well... there is indeed this...but..."

"But what?" Jiang Lie said and inserted the Pingxue Sword in his hand into Guo Shuyu's ear.

"But...but... the money allocated by the court was in my hands, and there was only a lot left, and it was not enough to pay them wages. I admit that I am greedy, and I am not a clean official, but

Really... the high-ranking official on my head is much more greedy than me!" Guo Shuyu's facial muscles kept trembling, and each word was said when the teeth collided at a rapid speed.

Jiang Lie was not surprised by this. After all, Hou Weilan had said that their superiors deducted their wages, and their superiors were also deducted by their superiors.

"Since you have said that you know that the high-ranking officials on your head are much more greedy than you, why don't you report them, but instead learn from them to encourage this kind of unhealthy trend?" Jiang Lie continued to ask.

Guo Shuyu said in tears: "Master Jiang, the lower official is a low-level local official. He is a gentle person. He has never seen the emperor or visited the Shenliu City. Even if I write to His Majesty, the memorial will never be sent to him.

Beijing! If I report them in the memorial, they will definitely intercept the memorial halfway, and my life will not be guaranteed!"

"So, are you still innocent?" Jiang Lie lowered his head and leaned closer to Guo Shuyu's face.

Guo Shuyu quickly shook his head gently: "I am innocent, I am innocent, I must be innocent! I am guilty, I am a sinner!"

Jiang Lie pulled up the Pingxue Sword, inserted it back into the scabbard around his waist, raised his head to stretch his muscles and bones: "How much money you have greedy and how much wages you owe, you'd better take it from real things, and then owe it now first

All the workers' wages are paid in one go. I believe you can afford the money. After all, you can build such a paradise villa and invite so many beautiful girls to play music and drink with you. Even if you are tight

No matter how bad you are, you can always pay off your debts if you sell your mansion."

"Sure! Sure! Give me two days, I will pay off all the debts!" ​​Guo Shuyu said, lowering his voice, "Mr. Jiang, I am willing to be punished, but I can't just punish me, the big ones on my head

Officials must also be punished!"

Jiang Lie nodded and said, "Don't worry, the net of heaven is vast and unlimited. No corrupt officials can be missing. Everyone has to be dismissed, sued, and punished."

Guo Shuyu gasped: "Thank you... Thank you Lord Jiang..."

"Mr. Guo's position will be replaced by the new official I brought." Jiang Lie helped Guo Shuyu up and smiled, "Mr. Guo, prepare the money as soon as possible and pay back all the debts first. By the way, those of Hou Weilan and others

Now in Jinshan County, you can send their money to the county magistrate Yu Xinhuang, Yu, who knows what you know in your mind.”

"I... obey the order!" Guo Shuyu bowed to Jiang Lie tremblingly.

One of the four officials sent by the Ministry of Personnel immediately replaced Guo Shuyu's original position, and the other three found an inn with Jiang Lie and Duan Biao to stay in.

That night, Jiang Lie and Duan Biao rode their horses to the banks of the Linmuka River.

The riverside is full of lanterns and torches, and a large number of workers are working, and there are still crowds of people. It can be seen that these workers who are working hard are not just to make a living, but really want to build them.

The embankment of the mother river of the Haolinmuka River.

"Which one is more harmful to natural disasters or man-made disasters?" Jiang Lie looked at the crowd working and couldn't help asking.

Duan Biao asked, "Why did the Grand Marshal say this?"

Jiang Lie sighed and said, "The Linmuka River has flooded the river, causing the river to burst. This is a natural disaster, which is unpredictable and inevitable. Of course, people can reduce the number of rivers that are more solid.

The damage caused by the next flood outbreak. However, officials are corrupt, deduct wages, and officials force the people to rebel. This is not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster. River embankments for flood prevention are easy to build, but measures to prevent corrupt officials are difficult to do.

Implement it. Just because Guo Shuyu wanted to bribe me, it can be seen that the unhealthy trends among officials have long become their habits."

Duan Biao pursed his lips: "This time we deal with Guo Shuyu and then deal with his superiors. As long as we kill the chicken to warn the monkey, we can believe that such man-made disasters will be less and less, and corrupt officials will definitely be less and less.

There will be more and more honest officials, and the official style and administration will become better and better!"

Jiang Lie nodded: "Yes, I hope this is the case. As an imperial envoy, I cannot just capture corrupt officials. I also have to be considerate of the people's livelihood and see how the hard-working people in our Shenli Kingdom work and live."

So, Jiang Lie and Duan Biao got off the horse, walked into the workers who built the river bank, communicated with them, learned from them, and experienced the daily life of the lower-class workers in the country.

Two days later, Guo Shuyu had already made up all the wages owed. Jiang Lie asked the officials who replaced Guo Shuyu to put Guo Shuyu under house arrest first, while he took Duan Biao and three other officials to the higher-level yamen.

As soon as the gold medal arrow was shown, Jiang Lie and his group came to the back hall of the yamen without any obstacles.

"My minister Xi Lian, please see the imperial envoy!" A man with gray beard and square face dressed in an official uniform came to the back hall and bowed to Jiang Lie.

Jiang Lie sat on the chair, crossed his legs, looked at the official in front of him, and took a sip of tea: "No gift."

Xi Lian smiled and said, "Since the imperial envoy is visiting, why not say hello in advance? Today, the adults came unexpectedly. The ministers did not prepare to entertain the adults first. There is no good tea in the yamen. The adults will be the generals.

Just try it.”

Jiang Lie smiled and said, "How could he say hello in advance? Isn't it convenient for you to pack your luggage and run away?"

Xi Lian's legs trembled and frowned and said, "Why did the imperial envoy say this?"

"Why do you say this? Are you still pretending to be confused when you understand?" Jiang Lie put down his teacup and changed his other leg and raised it. "I ask you, is the funds for the construction of the river embankment for the Linmuka River passing by you?

”

Xi Lian hesitated for a moment and replied: "There is..."

Jiang Lie stood up and said, "The money for the construction of the river embankment for the Linmuka River was paid by the court and came from the national treasury. You should know what the money means, right? Be honest and lenient, resist and be strict, the court allocated it to you.

Did you embezzle Linmuka River’s money?”

"This..." Xi Lian replied tremblingly, "There is..."

"Very good! Very refreshing! I like refreshing people!" Jiang Lie smiled heartily, "You should be more than the corrupt officials. If you have a share of the money from the court, you will provide all of them. I brought someone to replace him.

Your location.”

Xi Lian asked in a trembling voice: "Sir... I... I know my guilt, I confess, but I should... I will not die, right?"

Jiang Lie nodded and said, "Don't worry, even if you don't worry, you will not die. That is, you will take off your black hat and confiscate your home. There should not be any serious prison disaster. Don't worry.

”

Seeing Xi Lian trembling all over, Jiang Lie asked again: "Do you know what the existence of Linmuka River means? Do you know why Linmuka River is called Linmuka River?"

Xi Lian nodded and replied: "The Linmuka River is the local mother river. It is precisely because it is the mother river that it is called the Linmuka River. The existence of the Linmuka River is of great significance, with hundreds of

Over the years, it has provided a continuous source of water for local residents, and local economic development is inseparable from the aquatic products in the Linmuka River, and the Linmuka River is also a major transportation route connecting many places."

Jiang Lie laughed loudly and said, "Mr. Xi is so knowledgeable and speaks very well! In fact, I only know that the Linmuka River is the mother river. I still can't say it.

Mr. Xi said it, but it was obvious that Mr. Xi knew the Linmuka River very well. Since this is the case, the Linmuka River is very important, so the embankment of the Linmuka River is also particularly important. Why can Mr. Xi still do it?

What happened to embezzle public funds? Does Lord Xi not want the river embankment of Linmuka River to be successfully completed?"

Xi Lian knelt on the ground with a thud and kept squeaking his mouth: "Sir, I am a bastard, I am a bastard, I am a pig or a dog! The Linmuka River is such an important river, the imperial court

The money I gave to Linmuka River was in my hands, but I was fascinated by the fact that I had bad intentions, but I embezzled the money! Even if I die ten thousand times, it is not enough to atone for my sins!"

"A man is not a sage, so who can be without mistakes? If there is something, correct it; if there is nothing, encourage it. If there is nothing, please help me. If you know your mistakes, you can make mistakes. Nothing is great." Jiang Lie helped Xi Lian up and said seriously, "A man has gold under his knees. Although I am an imperial envoy, I am the minister.

Although you have the emperor's gold medal and arrow, although it represents imperial power, you cannot make a kneel to me. It is still good to recognize your mistakes and deserve my respect. Be obedient, say goodbye to your family and bring you

Come to all the officials involved in corruption and follow me to Shenliu City for a walk.”

Xi Lian nodded and said in a trembling voice: "I... obey the order..."
