Mo Junyang's inquiry into Shi Qingxue was immediately overturned, and he took the initiative to confess, "Actually, Shen Luo and Zichao are here."
Shi Qingxue showed a look of surprise, and she understood why Yan Xu sent so many people to assassinate Mo Junyang but was easily overturned.
Wei Zichao must have brought a lot of people from Kyoto, but they were all hidden in the dark. Yan Xu couldn't even jump up and down even if he wanted to.
Qingxue pursed her lower lip and asked again: "Did they tell you that Wu Xiong is Mo Junhao's man, and they also provided food and salary for Mo Junhao's rebellion?"
Mo Junyang nodded, "This also explains the whereabouts of the disaster relief money and grain sent by the imperial court. However, the news was a little late. When Zichao and the others went to stop Wu Xiong today, Wu Xiong had already escaped, but one person was left behind. Jiangzhou County Magistrate Yin Liangzhi."
"What did he say?" Shi Qingxue asked eagerly.
"A corpse, a letter in blood, what do you think you can say?"
Mo Junyang smiled sarcastically, "Yin Liangzhi alone took the responsibility for colluding with Yan Xu to embezzle disaster relief funds and harm the people of Jiangzhou."
Shi Qingxue lowered her eyes in disappointment and muttered unhappily: "Tsk, everyone is dead, so they can't help but make up nonsense."
Mo Junyang said no more.
But now, Takeo's line has been broken, and Jiangzhou City is still left with a lot of mess that has not been resolved.
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.
Yan Xu will undoubtedly die, and all officials involved must be severely punished. However, the biggest problem now is that there is no way to make this heinous crime public.
Cannibalism also caused those people to die from being infected with corpse poison.
Shi Qingxue couldn't even think about the consequences of such an inhumane thing once the common people knew about it.
The political power is unstable, the society is in turmoil, and even the country may be destroyed.
Shi Qingxue couldn't help but shudder when she thought about it, but what could she do
Mo Junyang saw her troubles and explained softly: "The people must not know about using human flesh to make porridge, but Yan Xu formed a clique for personal gain, was corrupt and perverted the law, and embezzled the money and grain for disaster relief. It is a sure thing, and he can't escape it." .”
It's just that those innocent people who died because of Yan Xu's madness may never be able to get their names corrected, and just disappear silently into history.
"The dead are gone. No matter how much we do, they will never come back to life. All we can do is avenge them. Even if it is not so justifiable, at least the revenge is truly avenged."
Mo Junyang was always able to accurately find Shi Qingxue's troubled areas, and then used the simplest principles to make her come around.
Although Shi Qingxue still felt uncomfortable, she did not get into trouble with this matter.
Just like Mo Junyang said, we can't let the entire Mo Dynasty be buried with Yan Xu because of the bad things he did, right
"Then we must not spare Yan Xu lightly, even if we cut him into pieces!" Shi Qingxue gritted her teeth angrily, feeling that letting Yan Xu die so easily was an advantage for this dog official.
Mo Junyang naturally agreed, "Don't worry, I have asked Zi Chao to send someone to send a message back to Kyoto. This dog official will not live for more than half a month."
Shi Qingxue finally felt a little happier, and discussed with Mo Junyang how to clean up the remaining officials who were colluding with Yan Xu, Yin Liangzhi and others, and how to deal with the mess in Jiangzhou.
Mo Junyang is very experienced in this kind of thing. He first swiftly dismissed all the officials involved from office and held accountable them, shocking all parties. Then he punished those officials who were more or less aware of Yan Xu's crimes and frightened them hard. After a while, he was still let go.
After all, the huge Jiangzhou still needs those officials to manage. If the entire Jiangzhou is emptied of officials, then Jiangzhou will really be in chaos.
To scare people, even if those officials have evil intentions, they will not have the courage to do evil again.
As for those officials who were desperately suppressed because they were unwilling to collude with Yan Xu's party, they were supported by Mo Junyang, and the official vacancies in Jiangzhou were basically filled in just half a month.
A total of seventeen officials were dismissed from office due to Yan Xu in the Jiangzhou case, nine of whom were to be executed, and the rest were sentenced to imprisonment or above.
Basically all of these officials hold important positions in Jiangzhou, but after Mo Junyang's adjustment, even without these people, the management of Jiangzhou Mansion will not be affected at all.
The only question now is who should be the governor of Jiangzhou
It stands to reason that all the high-ranking officials have been questioned, and the largest remaining official is Ye Zhirong, the general judge of Jiangzhou. It is Ye Zhirong who should fill the vacancy.
However, Ye Zhirong refused to be promoted. Instead, he felt that as a general judge, he not only failed to expose Yan Xu's crimes, but also chose to avoid it because he was afraid of death. He was ashamed of the innocent people of Jiangzhou who died tragically and refused to accept the appointment of the Jiangzhou magistrate. One position.
Although it is feasible to transfer officials from Kyoto to Jiangzhou, Jiangzhou is now in dire straits and is waiting for development. It will definitely not work if the officials transferred from outside are not familiar with the situation in Jiangzhou.
"Do you have any other candidates?" Shi Qingxue asked in a low voice.
Mo Junyang rarely showed some hesitation, "There is someone who might be suitable."
Shi Qingxue tilted her head and thought for a moment, "Xiao Qijun?"
Mo Junyang's eyes lit up, surprised and delighted, apparently Shi Qingxue had guessed what he was thinking.
"How did you think of him?" Shi Qingxue was a little confused.
Although she also guessed that Mo Junyang was optimistic about Xiao Qijun, it was too big a span for a prefect master to be promoted several levels to become a prefect.
What's more, Xiao Qijun also has the identity of a horse bandit leader behind his back. Can such a person really be qualified for the post of Jiangzhou magistrate
Mo Junyang: "First, he understands the situation in Jiangzhou and has good abilities. If he is willing to do it and has Ye Zhirong to help him, he will definitely be able to do it well; second, in the eyes of many people, he is still Yan Xu's Man, even if those little fish I let go are not fat, they must have eaten Yan Xu's 'bait' to some extent. Using a Yan Xu person can make them feel more at ease..."
"But don't forget his relationship with Blackwater Village. In essence, he is still a thief!" Shi Qingxue couldn't help but remind him.
If a thief becomes an official, let alone the former prefect master, and now he directly becomes the prefect, wouldn't it be a bit too random
Are you really not worried that Xiao Qijun is stealing from others and using the entire Jiangzhou City as his own granary
"Different positions lead to different behaviors. Xiao Qijun was a bandit before, so it is normal to go against the government, but if he becomes an official, he will naturally not do banditry again.
Xiao Qijun is a talent and I believe he will do the right thing. "
Mo Junyang seemed to be very confident in this Xiao Qijun.
But Shi Qingxue didn't understand, "Why does it have to be him?"
"Third, it's because of his identity." Mo Junyang said his reasons leisurely.
Qingxue was confused. How could a bandit leader be suitable to be the governor of a city
Mo Junyang chuckled and said: "Although the bandits in Heishui Village are not like the bandits in other places who burn, kill, loot and commit all kinds of evil, they are standing on the opposite side of the imperial court. Now their bosses have become the prefects of the city. What do you think? Can Blackwater Village continue to cause trouble?"
"Huh?" Shi Qingxue was stunned, and it took a while to understand what Mo Junyang meant.
Are you actually thinking of recruiting people in this way
If you really catch the thief first, capture the king. The boss has surrendered to the government. Even if the brothers in Heishui Village want to continue to be bandits, they can't.
What a plan to kill two birds with one stone!
Shi Qingxue was worried that Xiao Qijun might not be willing to be the prefect of Jiangzhou.
Given the current miserable situation in Jiangzhou, the responsibilities of a city's prefect are heavy, and he won't be able to earn any money within three to five years. It's definitely a thankless job, and maybe it's not as easy as being a bandit leader.
Mo Junyang smiled on the ground, "It depends on who will persuade Xiao Qijun."
Qingxue's eyes suddenly lit up, she looked at Mo Junyang for a moment, and shouted confidently: "Ye Zhixin!"
She almost forgot that Xiao Qijun had always been thinking about Ye Zhixin, but Ye Zhixin was still an official girl. If Xiao Qijun had been a thief, even if he had not done anything harmful, he would definitely not be able to marry Ye Zhixin.
As long as they work hard on this, they are not afraid that Xiao Qijun will not agree.
"It's just that Miss Ye likes you, but she's afraid that if Xiao Qijun agrees, she still won't be able to achieve a good thing." When Shi Qingxue mentioned Ye Zhixin's little thoughts towards Mo Junyang, she felt a little uncomfortable, and her tone of voice A little strange too.
Mo Jun raised his eyebrows and said with a calm expression, "What does this have to do with me?"
Shi Qingxue carefully observed the man's expression and found that he really didn't care about this at all.
Also, in Mo Junyang's eyes, except for Shi Qingxue, everyone else's feelings have nothing to do with him.
And he never cared about things that didn't concern him.
Shi Qingxue was choked, and then realized that she was a bit silly to be jealous about such a thing.
"Ahem!" Shi Qingxue coughed twice and changed the subject with a blushing face, "What about that? Now that even the post of prefect has been decided, Jiangzhou City has basically settled down. We are just waiting for a reply from Kyoto. Come, if Yan Xu is dealt with, then everything will be settled!"
Shi Qingxue had a wonderful thought. If it were not a procedural issue, she would have been impatient to wait for Kyoto's reply and would directly punish Yan Xu Lingchi to calm the public's anger. Letting such a scum live another day in this world would be a waste of food and air.
Yan Xu is dead anyway!
But it was only after July and a half that the news from Kyoto came, and Shi Qingxue felt what it meant to be slapped in the face.
The eunuchs in the palace brought the decree of Emperor Moren and Mo Junyu: because of the new emperor's wedding, he would be granted a general amnesty, and Yan Xu would be spared the death penalty, and he would be distributed to the frontiers to show the emperor's favor.
After Yan Xu heard the edict read out by the eunuch, he was confused at first, but then he suddenly came to his senses, an ecstatic expression appeared on his face, and he jumped up from the ground.
"I don't have to die anymore? I don't have to die anymore! Great, great!"
The eunuch's face sank, and he said coldly: "Why don't you hurry up and accept the order to thank me?"
Yan Xu immediately knelt down, knocked his head loudly, and said hurriedly: "The guilty minister thanks the Lord for his kindness. The guilty minister thanks the Lord for his kindness. The guilty minister will definitely change his ways in the future to thank God for his kindness..."
