It was almost noon on the 18th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the sky was still gloomy, with the north wind whistling, and the chill was even stronger.

Li Ling stood in the signing room of the second-district house of the county government office, and placed several stacks of documents on the front desk. When he looked at him, he quickly converted the contents of the account book into more familiar numbers, and then calculated it in his mind, and then poured it on the paper.

There were dozens of papers full of numbers like this, all of which were clearly and conclusive evidence of Zhuang Hong and other officials in the county yamen embezzlement and misappropriation of public funds in recent years. It took only two days for Li Ling to sort out many problems hidden under the accounts. It was not that he was really that powerful. It was because the guys who used to do accounts were too rough and could catch all the loopholes without having to spend any effort.

After finishing another account book, Li Ling let out a breath of turbid air and stretched his waist slightly, but his movements were cautious, for fear of cracking the wound again. Then he curled his lips and saw another county magistrate's clerk through the crack of the window that was only half a palm wide. He hurriedly passed by and headed straight to the county magistrate's public room.

"It's almost the last moment. Seventy or eighty people have arrived to visit each other in two days." Li Ling sighed and said, then put down his pen, pushed the door and walked out of the signing room. After walking along the corridor for only a few steps, he had already arrived in front of the largest public room. At this moment, dozens of people were standing there, but no noise was heard. Only Wei Liang, the top of the top, kept tickling the table with his fingers on his face, making people's eyebrows and eyes pounding.

At this time, another person in front of him came hurriedly, and Cao Jin, who was standing by Weiliang, also bent down at the right time and whispered: "County Master, it's noon."

"Um." Wei Liang suddenly sat upright, glanced at his subordinates and swept his eyes over, and said with a smile: "You are not bad, at least you are still following some rules. Who else hasn't arrived?"

An official in the official room hesitated for a moment and then stepped forward and said, "If you want to go back to the county, there are also the official in the household room, the official in the criminal room, the official in the criminal room, the official in the criminal room, the official in the criminal room, the official in the criminal room, and the official in the criminal room, Zhang Gang, and Wang Hai..." This person was also very memorable and clearly reported the names and positions of the officials who were not present.

His performance changed the face of the official Fang Dianli. He was competing for performance and earning merit, but in front of the master, he didn't dare to have an attack, so he could only grit his teeth secretly. Li Ling was happy when he saw him outside. Some people competed for performance like this, which proved that Wei Liang had indeed slowly settled down, which made the people below feel awe.

"Very good, I have written down all my names." Wei Liang nodded and praised, "Since this moment, they have been no longer a member of my Jiangcheng County Government. At that time, the officials' office will go to the notice and post a notice to the whole city."

Feng Qingyundan's words shocked everyone present. This was a real thing. There were twenty people in total, but Wei Magistrate actually broke all the changes in one sentence?

Seeing that they did not respond, Wei Liang frowned again: "What, do you think there is any problem?"

"No...no!" Feeling his momentum, the officials shook their heads and denied it. They had already accepted their orders and came to meet and obeyed the orders, so how could they speak for those people again?

However, the two men at the top changed their expressions slightly, and then Feng Ping said: "County Master, is this too strict? After all, they have been in the county government for many years, and they have worked hard without credit. This way, they have opened up everyone because of a small matter. It is really hard to convince people and it is easy to make everyone below feel heartbroken."

"A small matter? Feng County Magistrate, you think they are not respectful to Shangguan. It was just a small matter that I refused to come to see him after I had already been in the yamen for a few days. Then, in your opinion, what is the big matter?" Today's Wei Liang was completely incompatible with his gentle and handsome appearance. He looked completely aggressive, and his words were even more like a gun and a stick, as sharp as a knife, and he directly refuted Feng Ping to speechlessly.

Seeing that he was completely in control of the situation, Wei Liang became more powerful and said, "When I was working in the capital, I heard that there were one or another bad habits in the local yamen. For example, officials and others acted recklessly and ignored the rules, or relying on the little power in their hands to corrupt the law and bully the people. At that time, I made a decision that as long as I became a local yamen, I must eliminate such phenomena in office. So when I came to Jiangcheng today, I would never allow those who disrespect the superiors and acted recklessly in the yamen."

"Mr. The county magistrate has been admonished, and the low-ranking officials must obey the teachings and dare not be disrespectful." The official who had just expressed his opinion quickly said. With him taking the lead, others followed suit, and Lin Lie also said similar words loudly in it, but his whole spirit was still a little depressed.

Wei Liang then looked at the official carefully and said, "What's your name?"

"The young Chen Xun is now a clerk in the official room." The man immediately felt refreshed and quickly replied loudly.

"Very good. Later, you will organize and copy the names of those who ignore the rules of the county government and post them. Not only in front of the county government, but also in each gate of the county town, there must be no omissions."

"Yes, the younger ones must do things properly."

"Today, I want to tell you what I want to express my request to you, more importantly, I have to cut off the case of the previous few days before the New Year. I really don't want to wait for such a big case that harms the people after I know it. I must find out the truth as soon as possible and let those greedy people pay the price." Wei Liang said, and looked at Li Ling outside the hall again.

"County Master, the Zhuang Dianshi matter is just a one-man statement after all. We have no evidence for the time being, so I'm afraid it's hard to really make a decision?" Feng Ping was anxious when he heard this and quickly raised a question.

Wei Liang was waiting for this question and immediately smiled: "Who said there are only some statements? Li Ling, submit the evidence."

Li Ling hurriedly agreed outside, then held the stack of paper, slowly walked in under the gaze of everyone's strange eyes, and finally put the things on the long case: "County Master, this is the relevant evidence compiled by the Cao people's investigation of the account books and documents in the racks and pavilions in a few days. If there is no omission, in the past five years alone, Zhuang Dianshi embezzled 53,253 taels and three cents of silver with his position and accomplices in some yamen. Among them, there are all taxes that were tapped by him, and the superiors subsidized the work money we used to clear the river. In addition, a large part of them were intercepted in the jute tax mentioned earlier! The more detailed records are all included, so please check them one by one."

What is professionalism? This is professionalism! After Li Ling spoke, he was stunned by everyone present. This guy was so amazing that he actually calculated the number of silver embezzled by Zhuang Dianshi so clearly, and there were zeros, which made it difficult for others to raise objections.

Afterwards, many people were even more uneasy because of this. He didn't say that the money was swallowed by Zhuang Hong alone, and his accomplices. Everyone knew it well. The so-called accomplices mean all of them! By the way, who had never received money from his superiors and colleagues to share the benefits of public service?

Several people's bodies began to tremble. If the county magistrate really wanted to investigate thoroughly, they might be implicated. Not only did they lose their public office, they might even be convicted and sentenced... Thinking about the power of Wei County, they really felt the deep fear and filled their hearts.

But what unexpectedly happened was that Wei Magistrate Wei did not rush to ask about the relevant details, nor did he read the evidence carefully, but nodded and smiled at Li Ling: "Thank you for your hard work, I will be rewarded after this matter."

"Then the grass people thanked the county magistrate." Li Ling smiled, bowed and then left the hall. He knew that the other party had completely grasped these subordinates, not only in terms of momentum, but also in terms of his grasp of these people!

Some things are more panicked and more likely to be devoted to them than to spread them out directly. Just like Cao Cao was burned after defeating Yuan Shao after he got a box of letters from Yuan Shao, his subordinates Wenwu Litong, then Cao Cao burned all the letters on the surface, but in fact, who knows whether he left the real letters, fortunately he used them as a subordinate who was not in the same mind as him in the future? Perhaps because of this, many of Cao Cao's talents did not have another second thought.

Of course, Wei Liang could not reach Cao Mengde's height, so he did not burn the evidence, but kept it to intimidate everyone and make them obedient. Otherwise, as long as the evidence is illuminated, he could easily deal with the law.

So when Li Ling walked out of the hall, the praises and praises from the officials came out behind him. As for Feng Ping, who had doubts before, he was also silent at this moment. In the current atmosphere, speaking for Zhuang Hong was to push himself to the forefront, which was not the price he was willing to pay.

"Since the evidence is conclusive, it is time to interrogate Zhuang Hong. Lin Lie!"

"I am in a humble position."

"You will bring your hands to capture Zhuang Hong for a question. This time I will be tried again. Let's see how he can make a quibble!"

"It's... the humble position obeys the order!" After taking a deep breath, Lin Lie bowed his order, then clicked a few subordinates he could trust, and quickly turned around and left the hall, and soon caught up with Li Ling.

The two passed by and looked at each other. Li Ling's face was full of smiles, while Lin Lie's face was slightly red and he looked a little excited.

"I'll just say it, within three days, it will be clear." Li Ling suddenly said softly.

Lin Lie paused slightly, but said nothing. He just nodded hard and then walked away with his subordinates who followed him.

Next, Li Ling had no intention of listening because he knew that Wei Magistrate Wei had steadily controlled the overall situation and there was no chance of any accident: "So he is really the life of being the protagonist, he is easy and has no time to take all the power of the county government in his hands, and he can complete the harvest." As he said softly, Li Ling felt a little sad. People are more dead than others. When will he have such a protagonist halo?
