21-30

Chapter 21

    The key strategic materials such as pig iron must be purchased by the important officials in the county in person.

    After Li Xun made a preliminary investigation of the personnel structure in the homes of several important officials in the county, as well as their usual style of work, he had some important officials from the county who had been imprisoned brought over.

    A huge change has taken place in the city, and several masters have not yet figured out what happened.

    At first, I just heard that Master Pang was arrested by the county king, and then the county guard led his troops out angrily. Not long after, the county guard's mansion was besieged.

    There were both the guards of the county prince's mansion and the army of the county city, but it was obvious that the guards of the county prince's mansion were the first.

    The leader of the team gave an order, and they, the masters, the masters in the government office, the family members of the county guard, etc., were all arrested, divided into several rooms and put in large prisons.

    Although no news could be heard, it was obvious that the sheriff had fallen.

    Even though the guards of the county prince's mansion who were guards did not treat them harshly, everyone was still as frightened as a bird.

    The county guards are all down, and they, these hozens, are afraid that they will not end well.

    When they were brought out by the guards, they became more and more terrified, thinking that their death was imminent, and when they saw Li Xun, they knelt down tremblingly.

    "See the county king!"

    Li Xun didn't speak, nor did he call out.

    Several people became more and more disturbed, and hurriedly distinguished themselves: "Your Majesty     , please forgive me! The subordinate officials

    have never participated in what the sheriff did!"

The sheriff won’t let us come to welcome you in person!”

    “Your majesty, the subordinates are all forced, it’s the household registration of the civilians who were ordered by the magistrate to change! The magistrates dare not disobey!” “The

    magistrate, my subordinates The official knows that he is wrong, please give me a chance to let the next official pay off the merits, and I will only be loyal to the county king in the future!"

    Several people begged for mercy in various ways, but Zhou Yingting, who was the county magistrate, looked calm and peaceful, without saying a word.

    Li Xun asked him:

    "Zhou Juncheng, why don't you speak?"

    Zhou Yingting kowtowed and said respectfully:

    "If you go back to the county king, I have a clear conscience, and I believe that the county king knows everything and will never kill innocent people by mistake.

    " Xun smiled a little, honest officials are also good at flattering.

    However, Zhou Yingting's character is really good this week. He can still stick to his principles when the other high-ranking officials all turn to the sheriff and choose to join forces.

    Seeing how poor his family was, he also knew that he hadn't received any favors from the sheriff.

    It was precisely because of this that he was squeezed out of the power circle of the entire Sheriff's Mansion and completely emptied out.
