Although most of the people Fang Jie ticked off on the roster had low official positions, their positions were very important. It's like screws one by one, which look inconspicuous, but if they fall off, some functions will fail. It is often that such people are easily ignored, and once ignored, problems will arise.
Most of these people are working in the Zhuqueshan camp. Some of them went out to inspect the Quartet. They probably haven’t received the news yet. Fang Xie’s investigation is so vigorous this time, even if some people know about it and have a good relationship with the person being investigated. He didn't dare to leak the news privately, anyone who was involved in this level could see it and hear it. Dugu Wenxiu deliberately buried Fang Jie's sentence of killing and killing to some people, just to tell them, you should be smarter.
less than ten days
Zhang Chu, who was on inspection outside, was brought back.
Counting the days, there are still four or five days before Sang Sasha's due date.
Except for Zhang Chu, all the people brought back by Xiaoqi school were gathered in the meeting hall of Suzaku mountain. Even now, in fact, now they don't know what happened. When the Xiao Riding School called them here, they were not violent, they were very polite.
So some of them even thought that Fang Jie had summoned them to hold a separate meeting. After all, the people who were arrested this time were all people in the same functional scope.
"Do you know what's going on?"
"I don't know, but it can't be a bad thing..."
"That can't be guaranteed. As soon as the lord comes back, we will gather us together. Who knows if something went wrong in any link?"
When this man spoke, he used the word link with a strong tone.
"Do not worry."
One of them smiled and said, "Didn't you hear that Mrs. Sang is about to give birth, what can happen on such a happy day?"
Everyone immediately laughed knowingly.
"You're right."
The voice came in from outside the door, and everyone was startled. They looked back, and saw Fang Jie walked in slowly from the door with his hands behind his hands, followed by a team of Xiaoqi School. Looking at the hands of those Xiao cavalry school on the handle of the knife, everyone suddenly felt a kind of fear. These civil servants didn't know that it was the murderous aura carried by a person who had killed many people, especially when such a person was about to kill again, the murderous aura was the strongest.
Fang Jie walked through the crowd, walked slowly to the chair in the middle and sat down. Unlike usual, he did not let these officials sit down.
"Before I entered the door just now, I heard someone say that my family is about to have a baby. I am very happy. Thank you in advance. This is indeed great joy. You all take this as great joy. I am very grateful."
Fang Jie first cupped his fists, and the people below quickly bowed their heads in response.
"There's another sentence in it that's also true."
Fang Jie changed his tone, looked at the people below and said slowly: "Someone said before that my child will be born in a few days, so nothing will happen. This is true, so I am in a hurry Hurry back from Subei Road, and do everything that needs to be done before my child is born."
Fang Jie leaned back and pointed outside: "Bring someone, some of you may know him. After a while, those who know him will come to me by themselves. I will respect you as a man."
Chen Xiaoru, who was standing at the door of the meeting hall, beckoned, and then four Xiao cavalry schools escorted two people in from the outside. These two people were wearing heavy handcuffs and shackles, and the sound made by the iron chains rubbing against the bluestone floor was so harsh when they walked.
Although the county magistrate Lou was bloody and bloody from fifty slaps on the mouth in Pinggu County, after more than ten days, this face was already vaguely recognizable. Followed by his brother-in-law Feng Yizheng, who was obviously injured much more seriously than him, but luckily he didn't hurt his face.
When seeing these two people, the faces of several officials in the hall changed involuntarily.
Fang Jie looked at the crowd and shook his head slightly. Then he fixed his eyes on the face of County Magistrate Lou, stayed there for a while, and suddenly smiled: "I haven't said thank you to County Magistrate Lou, but I've already gone through the world of money exchange for the three thousand taels of silver you gave me." I took it out of my bank and made some toy wooden beds for my child who is about to be born. The rest of the money will be used to buy wine, because there will be a banquet to celebrate after a while."
County magistrate Lou heard the voice somewhat familiar, and his mind was a little blurred. He heard this and subconsciously looked up. Then he saw Fang Xie's face, a face he would never forget. It seems that no matter when and where, in the eyes of everyone, Fang Xie is a person who is easy to be remembered.
"It's you!"
County magistrate Lou was furious: "You took my money, why did you betray me!"
He was not so stupid in the first place, he had suffered too much mental torture in the past ten days, and he was fascinated all day long. Now he saw Fang Jie who was sitting high on the top, but he didn't react. After yelling these words, he suddenly realized something, his face suddenly turned pale, and then he sat down on the ground, his eyes were loose: "How could this be...how could it be you..."
"You ungrateful thing!"
Feng Yizheng is a real idiot. The reason why he was able to become a superstar is because of the care of County Magistrate Lou. This person does not use his brain at all.
He raised his chained fingers to Fang Jie: "Take the money from my brother-in-law, and still tell the truth! Who dares to bully my brother-in-law who has been in Pinggu County for so many years? I advise you to let us go obediently." Yes! Let me tell you, there are adults in the Suzaku Mountain camp who are friends with my brother-in-law, don’t say I didn’t warn you! Be careful, you don’t even know how you died!”
"Shut up you idiot!"
The county magistrate Lou cursed in a trembling voice: "You haven't knelt down and pleaded guilty! He is... Duke Zhen!"
Feng Yizheng was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he suddenly let out a strange cry, his face turned pale, and he fell straight backwards, fainting from fright.
…
…
Fang Jie looked at the people below, and everyone who stood up couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "Why can't I let myself leave with a bit of a man's dignity?"
All the people below lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak, or even breathe loudly.
"I said before that greed is the constant driving force for people to move forward. Only greed can have fighting spirit. Greed for victory, greed for status, greed for the world... But if the word greed is followed by the word money, the taste will really change. The money I gave you is not enough? Isn’t it? It’s because seeing a lot of money gives me a sense of satisfaction, peace of mind, and comfort in my heart. It’s even as refreshing as when you hugged a woman and shook it for the last time, right? "
Fang Jie stood up, walked down slowly, and walked in front of those people one by one: "I never expect anyone to be able to do the four words of selfless dedication, because I can't do it myself. Everyone said that I To be nice to the common people is because only in this way can the common people treat me well. To put it bluntly, this is also a kind of selfishness. Although the money I give you cannot make you rich and rich, but the family wants to eat whatever they want and wear whatever they want Is it enough to wear anything?"
Fang Jie sighed: "At this time, you will want an antique? A curio?"
He looked at those people, there was no disappointment or anger in his tone, nothing, just like the water of Xuanwu Lake.
"Actually, greed is human nature, and I didn't want to use heavy codes. Although I didn't say it explicitly, I was tolerant to you. I didn't just know that you are greedy, but because you are still doing things even though you are greedy. So I brought you all here today because your greed has crossed the line."
Fang Jie walked up to County Magistrate Lou and looked at the pale-faced man: "Because you are so greedy, there will be such people who are domineering in the local area. If such people exist, the common people will Will suffer. Guess, I will allow someone to destroy the image of the Black Banner Army that I have worked so hard to build in the hearts of the people?"
He pointed to one of them and asked, "If you were me and I were you, would you allow me to do that?"
The man trembled in fright, and dared not answer.
"Just don't tell me you're a first-time offender."
Fang Jie went back to the chair and sat down, and glanced at them; "I have too much blood on my hands, but I never want to be stained with the blood of my own people. The blood of the enemy will make my fighting spirit high, and My own blood will only make me sad... I said so much, not to educate you to reform, you have no chance, I just want you to understand better."
Some people trembled and fell down in fright, while others knelt down with a plop.
"My lord... I don't ask for forgiveness, I only ask for the death penalty! I don't dare to argue, but I beg my lord to give me a chance to repent. I have talents in my heart, and I can do things for you! I can also do things for the Black Banner Army !"
Someone fell to the ground and begged.
Fang Jie shook his head: "You are able to serve as officials in the Black Banner Army because of your talent and learning. I have been thinking for the past two days, if you bear with it, I will take you to the highest place in the future , At that time, no matter how greedy you are, you may be able to greedy more. But you are too anxious, really too anxious."
"Tell me, why are you greedy?"
Fang Jie pointed to one of them. The man's eyes were full of tears, but he dared not speak.
"Don't dare to say?"
Fang Jie rubbed his temples, and seemed to have a headache: "Let me help you... the reason why you are so eager to be greedy now is partly because of your nature, and partly because you don't believe that I can go to the end. You are looking for something for yourself." A way out. If the Black Banner Army is defeated and our party is killed, you have money in your hands, and you can live comfortably at the worst.”
Fang Jie paused for a moment: "If I were you, maybe I would think the same... But unfortunately, I am me, and you are you."
"Chen Xiaoru..."
Fang Jie waved his hand and ordered: "Since they have nothing to say, let's take them all down. Interrogate how to interrogate, how to deal with what to do. For you people, I refused Dugu's request to resign, and demoted him two years. Level, if you feel that you have been wronged, think about whether he has been wronged."
He seemed too lazy to say anything more, with a tired expression on his face: "When I send them back on the road, each person will add an extra bowl of wine, and treat it as the wedding wine I invite you to drink. My child is about to be born... Seeing blood, I have to wait for him I finished it before the birth and waited happily for his birth. I remember that the people in the Central Plains have always had a custom, for blessing, when the baby is born, a little cinnabar red will be dotted on the forehead... I will borrow your blood, thank you."
Chen Xiaoru greeted, and the Xiaoqi school from the brigade rushed in and dragged everyone out. Most of those people were frightened, but few of them begged and howled.
"Notify Huangyang Road, Beihui Road, Nanhui Road, Yongbei Road, Pingshang Road, Yunnan Road, Subei Road...wherever our Black Banner Army is under the rule, Xiaoqi School will strictly investigate such cases."
He turned to look at Dugu Wenxiu: "Are you a literati, or you will host..."
After saying this, he got up and left.
Chen Xiaoru glanced at Fang Jie's back, and clasped his fists at Dugu Wenxiu: "My lord, my lord trusts you because you are honest and fair."
Dugu Wenxiu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "My lord uses me, the reason has already been said just now... I am a literati, so I don't have any murderous intent... My lord, he... feels distressed."
