Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 732

"Mr. Chao, I beg you."

"I salute you!"

"Let it go! Can you let it go?!"

Liu Jia, the governor of Pei County, stared wide-eyed at this moment, holding Chao Cuo's hand firmly, his eyes were full of panic.

When Chao Cuo first came here, Liu Jia also used the ancestral aggressive method, wanting Chao Cuo to help him rectify the local area. Thinking of what he said at that time, Liu Jia is now anxious to Slap yourself a few times.

He knew that Chao Cuo was very ruthless and decisive, but he didn't expect him to be so ruthless.

Chao Cuo, who had just arrived in the locality, acted harmless to humans and animals. He was bullied by the tyrants, big clans, and rangers, and even his subordinate officials couldn't handle it. The big clan he was particularly vigilant about, the local officials who had been dissatisfied with him for a long time, and even the temple ministers were all talking about the fact that the Sangong who once pointed out the country could not manage even a small county.

The most dramatic thing is that the systems that bound him were all set up by himself.

Come on, use your own method to defeat your own system!

See if you have the face to take advantage of the loopholes in your own system!
Just as everyone was waiting to see a good show, the silent Chao Cuo suddenly broke out.

Chao Cuo proved that truly talented people will not be comfortable living in different environments.

He first cleaned up his own county government, adopted three rounds of assessment, eliminated a large number of rich children, and absorbed a large number of talented officials from the bottom. Contact them and ask them to send people to jointly investigate with him. When the local big clan heard the news, they panicked. , the big clan were afraid that they would be involved in the matter of the ranger, so they immediately cast aside their secret support for the ranger.

Many ranger leaders from rich families were taken back by their families and were not allowed to go out again.

The ranger group lost support, Chao Cuo struck out, they were directly defeated and fled one after another.

Only at this time did Dazu understand that Chao Cuo's target was these rangers. Once the rangers were lost, Dazu would have no one to deal with many shady matters, unless they took huge risks and ended up in person.

After cutting off the connection between the big clan and the ranger, Chao Cuo set his sights on the powerful.

Chao Cuo led the officials directly to the local township, and lived in the homes of those common people. Every day, people would return to the county government office with a lot of papers, pretending to collect criminal evidence, and even released some rumors. Haoqiang couldn't sit still immediately, and began to clean up his criminal evidence in a hurry, and began to silence some insiders. Chao Cuo attacked again. More than 400 powerful tribesmen who committed serious crimes were arrested.

At this moment, the big family began to tremble, and began to rush to organize, frantically filed a letter to the temple, suing Chao Cuo for lynching, embezzlement, and abuse of duty, and he was about to sue him for treason.

And this is what Chao Cuo was waiting for. When the governor's office came to investigate him again, Chao Cuo said he would accept their lawsuit, but if there is no evidence of guilt, please sit back.

Dazu's scalp tingled with fright.

Is there any place that can stand the counterclaim? I hurriedly sent someone to withdraw the lawsuit, but it was too late. The governor began to investigate the case of Chao Cuo, and all the people who sued him were brought in. If they want to make a countersuit, the big man is not allowed to sue anonymously. Anonymous lawsuits are not accepted by the temple, so the identities of the litigants can easily be found.

If it is proved that Chao Cuo did not commit those mistakes, then the person who appealed to him will be imprisoned for the same crime.

Chao Cuo smiled all over his face. These are all the rules he made. Could it be that he still can't play with his own rules?These savages underestimated themselves too much!I have to let them see what Dahan Sangong is.

Chao Cuo brought down many big families by sitting back, including Chehou's family, and many people were from other counties, because the counties are adjacent to each other, and the interests of each other are very intertwined. After getting rid of these people, negotiate with them again, asking them to expose other people's crimes. The more they expose, the more they will be pardoned for their own crimes. A lot of evidence of your crime has been exposed, and you have the illusion that everyone has gone home.

Ever since, they began to expose each other and started a large-scale dog-eat-dog scene.

In the entire Pei County, more than sixteen great families were exposed, including Jianchenghou's lineage, Manghou's lineage, Fenghou's lineage, and the clan Chao Cuo immediately wrote to the prefect's office, demanding that they be arrested , put to death!

Liu Jia's legs gave way, and he came to see Chao Cuo overnight.

At this moment, he held Chao Cuo's hand tightly, his face pale, "Mr. Chao, there are more than 1000 people who you have written to arrest. Among them, either the surname is Lu or the surname is Liu, and all of them are from the Marquis of Che. There are even a few people who are close relatives of Xiao Xiang. These are not distant relatives. Half of them, I have to take possession of myself and salute when I see them. I still have to seriously consider it. I can’t be so eager. If we really want to investigate so many people, the temple will explode tomorrow, and Guo Zongzheng will be alarmed."

Liu Jia has always been a bold person. He has never been afraid of being punished when he grows up.

But this time, the situation is a little special.

The big clans can be arrested, but there is no need to uproot them. It’s okay to uproot the other big clans, but it’s a bit too much to pull out the royal family and descendants. Are you trying to rectify the place or seek to usurp the throne?You want to kill the Fengxian clan completely, right? ?
Chao Cuo was unmoved, with a stern face, he reprimanded angrily: "The reason why the situation here is so bad is because of people like you!!"

"As a county guard, I dare not deal with it impartially. Do you still want to protect these sinners?! What about the clan, what about the descendants?! Even if Lu Lu broke the law, I would dare to chop off his head! But Are these ordinary clans stronger than the princes and kings?! Let them suck the blood of the people in the local area, is that how you are the county guard?!"

He was clearly a superior, but after being reprimanded by Chao Cuo, Liu Jia turned pale and bowed his head, not daring to refute.

"We can handle things properly. We will first catch those who do the most evil. Others are known to deal with the queen mother slowly to protect her weaknesses. The line of Jiancheng Hou is the closest one to the queen mother. As for the clan, of course your majesty will not protect them However, Zongzheng will definitely intervene. These people are related to princes and kings from all over the world. This matter is really tricky. Lord Chao, this is a place, not a temple. You only have a hundred soldiers under your command, and there is no majesty around , not to mention the North and South Army"

When Chao Cuo heard this, he suddenly laughed.

"A real man, serve the country wholeheartedly, take loyalty and filial piety as the foundation, and benevolence and integrity as the key link. If you have millions of soldiers in your heart, why are you afraid of others?! Even if you die, you will not say goodbye!!"

Chao Cuo picked up his sword and said to the small official not far away: "Call the soldiers, come with me to get them!!"

"No! No!"

Liu Jia yelled, "Even if you want to take people, you have to wait for the county soldiers to come!! You have less than a hundred people under your command, and these big clans have more than a thousand servants and tenants. And many big clans are from other counties. Do you think officials from other counties will help you deal with them?!"

"That's just right, they have overstepped and colluded with local officials. If they attack me, then you will have a chance to eradicate them!"

Chao Cuo directly pushed Liu Jia away, and rushed out of the door in armor and holding a sword.

Liu Jia froze in place, trying to persuade him to stay, but couldn't say anything.

This man is crazy.

When Chao Cuo walked out of the county government office, there were young officials standing in front of him. These people looked a little scared, and there was a gleam in their eyes looking at Chao Cuo.

And the soldiers standing behind them were panting heavily at the moment.

Chao Cuo frowned, "Everyone, it's not that I am in a hurry to make meritorious service, but because these people are now eliminating the evidence against themselves. If you delay for one more day, their evidence will be one less. If there is not enough Evidence, they are not guilty enough to die, then they will come back to bully the people. When I came to the county, I didn’t do anything. It’s just that, the whole county is much more lively. Facts have proved that as long as these people are still there, the place cannot be governed well. To implement ten thousand benevolent policies, it is better to kill a villain who does evil. This is for everyone. My hometown, you can get rid of the thieves with me!!"

"only!!!"

Everyone agreed, Chao Cuo took the lead and walked out of the county government office, and many other officials followed without the slightest hesitation.

Among them are several old people who worked as officials here before Chao Cuo, and they also passed the examination.

Watching everyone leave, they looked at each other, and then smiled wryly.

"Are you going?"

"In these years of mediocrity. I thought I would get through it like this. Kill a few of them. Our lives are cheap, and death is not a loss."

"Hahaha, let's go!!"

The first thing Chao Cuo rushed to was the mansion of the local rich Lu Gengshi.

This Lu Gengshi, a close relative of the Lu family, was granted the title of Marquis of Teng and served as Liu Ying's doctor.

He previously served as a school lieutenant in the Southern Army, and when Zhou Yafu went to the Southern Army, he was kicked out. He did not return to his Marquis, but came here, because his property is here, and both he and Empress Lu He is a single father, but when the Lu family offended someone, he fled to Qiao with his family. When he was not here, his children used his reputation to do evil everywhere, making friends with rangers, sheltering sinners, colluding with officials, The most serious thing they have done is to get involved in the local salt mines, sell private salt, and privately smelt iron for sale.

But now that Lu Gengshi has returned home, they are even more arrogant.

In the entire county, their clan was the only one with the strongest strength, and Chao Cuo didn't go after those miscellaneous fish first, and rushed directly to the strongest.

When Chao Cuo led the soldiers, walked out of the county office in a mighty way, and rushed towards his mansion, it aroused the panic of the people, and the people along the road avoided one after another, watching them heading eastward without any hesitation. The vendors slowly put away their stalls, the farmers turned around and prepared to return to their homes, but the scholars seemed a little excited and started discussing loudly.

"Duke Chao is finally going to attack Marquis Teng!"

The scholars chatted loudly, and the common people lowered their heads and listened to their conversation.

"Mr. Chao is risking his life completely. That Marquis Teng is not easy to provoke. It is said that he fought in the Southern Army, and he was in charge of guarding the Changle Palace because of the close relationship between the Queen Mother and His Majesty."

"Heh, how many evil things have their family done in these years? They bullied the market and even occupied the bookstore. It's ridiculous that the virtuous people who entered the Imperial Academy every year in the past are still from their family. Where did they come from? Virtue?!"

"Although Mr. Chao is a cruel official, he is still worthy of admiration. You really have courage. If you can really get rid of this evil, I will never scold him again."

"Duke Chao is His Majesty's former servant. Although Marquis Teng is strong, he may not dare to attack him."

At this moment, Lu Gengshi was sitting in the mansion, surrounded by a large number of local rich patriarchs. Lu Gengshi's face looked very ugly, and his brows were furrowed. He really didn't want to provoke Chao Cuo, a mad dog.

But he, who had been in Chang'an for a long time, knew very well what Chao Cuo was like.

This guy won't let go easily.

And those patriarchs are still persuading, "Your Majesty, this guy is so bold and reckless. Relying on His Majesty's favor, he does all sorts of evil. When he just came to Qiao, he caused anger and resentment. If we don't get rid of this thief, we will be uneasy."

"You're talking nonsense! Don't I know him? How can I get rid of him? He is His Majesty's sacrificial servant. You can try to touch him? Your Majesty is in Liang Guo today. If you do him now, believe it or not, His Majesty will be able to do it tomorrow." Come over and chop your head off?!"

After all, Lu Gengshi had seen big scenes before, and he didn't go up like them.

"Then let him be so nonsense?"

"Of course not. In terms of locality, we have always been strong. Your Majesty loves you, but I have been guarding the Changle Palace for a long time. My aunt loves me very much. This time when I returned to my hometown, she sent people to send a large number of Chinese clothes as a gift. Reward reward me for my devotion to my duties these years, I dare not move him easily, and he can't move easily. I will get rid of those who slander us first. I have heard many rumors and falsely accused us of crimes. These things should be cleared first."

While they were talking, someone suddenly rushed in.

"Your Majesty!! It's not good!! Chao Cuo is leading people towards us, and the county officials have brought them."

"what?!"

Lu Geng couldn't bear it any longer.

"After I returned home, I cleaned up the bad children in the family, sent people to plead guilty to him many times, and gave him enough face, but he dared to do anything to me?! Do you really think that I have no one to protect me in the court?! My surname is Lu!!!"

He punched the case in front of him, and he was extremely angry.

Everyone was so frightened that their faces were pale and they dared not speak.

But Lu Gengshi stood up, "We can't let this guy act unscrupulously anymore. If this guy keeps going on like this, it won't be easy for us to get rid of those who smear us. He may also frame us for other crimes. At that time, It will be even more difficult for us to get away. Let's arrest him first and then find out his criminal evidence. I will directly write a letter to the Queen Mother, asking the Queen Mother to decide for us. As long as the criminal evidence is detailed, the unlucky thing is that Chao is wrong. Even if Chao Cuo is related to His Majesty, as long as his charges are proven, the Empress Dowager will not spare him lightly."

Hearing Lu Gengshi's words, everyone couldn't help feeling cold. Lu Gengshi's words also had other meanings. The queen mother took serious evidence of crimes. If Chao Cuo wrote their crimes, then of course the queen mother would not forgive them lightly.

"Call the servant. Let's arrest him first."

"His current letter must have not been approved, and there is no consent from the county. He came to arrest me in private, and I countered it. There is nothing wrong with it, as long as it doesn't hurt him."

Soon, Chao Cuo appeared in front of the prince's mansion.

There were nearly a hundred people, but Lu Gengshi had already made preparations. He led the people to stand in front of the door, and behind him were many old soldiers, all of whom were soldiers in the Southern Army. Put those soldiers on the opposite side in your eyes.

"Chao Cuo!! How dare you bring someone to assassinate me?!"

"I'm here to arrest you!"

"Return to the case? You little county magistrate, what qualifications do you have to arrest me and bring me to justice? Do you have a county magistrate? Where are the officials from the Department of History?! You are clearly here to kill me! Because I have your criminal evidence!! "

Lu Gengshi said loudly: "Chao Cuo came to silence me, I have no choice but to fight back!! Come on! Take them down!!"

As soon as he gave an order, the servants immediately filed out from the gate of the mansion. Hundreds of mighty people, armed with various weapons, easily surrounded the soldiers led by Chao Cuo.

The officials and soldiers around Chao Cuo carefully looked at the surrounding enemies. They were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and even weapons.

Chao Cuo was not afraid, pushed away the soldiers in front of him, and walked directly to the front.

He pointed at Lu Gengshi who was holding a strong crossbow opposite him, and gestured to his chest.

"Come on, shoot here!"

At this moment, in the county magistrate's mansion, Liu Jia rubbed his forehead, and tore up the order just written in front of him again, "It's very troublesome to arrest one Lu Gengshi, and so many people are to be arrested. It's simply."

He gritted his teeth, stood up, and said to Bie Jia who was beside him: "Pack up our things, let's go back to the administration first, bring our soldiers and come here."

Don't say anything, helped him pack up the documents, then took off his official seal and put it aside.

Liu Jia was shocked, "You are?"

"When you came here, you said that you would try your best to rectify the situation here. You are not afraid of the rich, and you have achieved little by arresting those who do evil. You said that it is because there are no competent officials to handle this matter for you. Now There are people like Chao Cuo who want to get rid of the scourge of the place, but you stop and dare not go to help me. I assisted you at the beginning because I admired your bravery and courage, but now, you are so withdrawn, But it’s really disappointing. I’m going to help Lord Chao. During these years, we have been helpless against these evil clans. Lord Chao wants to attack them all by himself. How dare I not help him? Please forgive me and say goodbye!”

Don't drive, turn around and leave here.

Liu Jia stayed where he was, unable to move.

The servants under Lu Gengshi's command approached step by step, those old soldiers mixed in with them, and kept hitting the ground with their weapons, causing noises, but the ordinary soldiers under Chao Cuo's command were taken aback, and the opponent's Behavior is like a civet cat playing a mouse, constantly reducing the encirclement net.

Lu Gengshi grinned grimly, and ordered: "Don't hurt Chao Cuo, the rest of the officials and soldiers are dead or alive."

In the distance, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps.
