The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 818 Dismissal
On the eighth day of February, Gaohui County, Longying Prefecture.

In the county government office, Hu Lizhen, the county magistrate, was dressed in an official uniform, with an awe-inspiring look on his face.

Since the confrontation with Gao Wenbai, he has been completely ignored in the past few days, and he can be said to be hindered everywhere in his work.

But even so, within the scope of his ability, he used various means to clean up several big households.

Today, he originally planned to go out again, but a messenger came from the government office, telling him that the magistrate will arrive in a while.

So now, Hu Lizhen can only stay in the county government office, waiting for Gao Wenbai to come over and the two will fight.

About half an hour later, there was movement from outside the county government office.

The county magistrate and others all went out to greet him, but Hu Lizhen was still sitting on his seat, and he didn't move at all.

After a while, the prefect Gao Wenbai walked in with a gloomy look on his face.

Entering the lobby, Gao Wenbo asked sharply: "Hu Lizhen, you are presumptuous. Why don't you welcome the Shangguan when he arrives?"

Getting up from the chair, Hu Lizhen calmly replied: "Gaofutai, the Dajin law said that the Shangguan must personally greet him when he arrives?"

"you……"

Regarding this, Gao Wenbo really didn't know what to say, because it was indeed not a legal requirement.

Sneered twice, to cover up his embarrassment, Gao Wenbai took the official document from his entourage, and said: "This is an official document from the Ministry of Officials. Because you plundered people's wealth and were domineering, after I reported to the court, the Ministry of Officials dismissed you. The post of county magistrate!"

There have been a lot of changes recently, as long as the reasons are sufficient and the officials are not appointed by Zhao Yanxun himself, it is not difficult to get rid of a county magistrate.

Of course, it takes a lot of people to work together.

Hearing Gao Wenbai's words, Hu Lizhen was full of disbelief.

"Show him!"

The county magistrate took the official document from Gao Wenbai and put it on Hu Lizhen's case.

Looking carefully, Hu Lizhen clenched his hands tightly, with anger burning in his eyes.

Seeing Hu Lizhen's expression, Gao Wenbo felt relieved. He came here in person today just for the scene in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, Gao Wenbo said coldly: "This person is no longer a magistrate, it seems that he should not sit in the hall anymore!"

The side is pleased to understand, as if he is about to step forward to push people away.

"I'll go by myself!" Hu Lizhen angrily scolded.

Although he has been expelled from the magistrate, he still has a sense of righteousness. At this moment, he roared angrily, and directly silenced everyone present.

After saying that, Hu Lizhen flicked his sleeves, then got up and left the lobby.

Looking at Hu Lizhen's back, Gao Wenbo sneered and said, "I'll go back with my house in a while, the people from the yamen are waiting for you!"

The people from the procuratorate were waiting, which meant that Hu Lizhen's crimes were still to be investigated. Obviously, Gao Wenbai had killed him.

Everyone in the county government had a clearer understanding of Gao Wenbai's ruthlessness.

After a while, Hu Lizhen packed her things and was taken away by Gao Wenbai from the county office.

In order to humiliate him intentionally, Gao Wenbai put on a pretense and forcibly invited him to take a carriage with him in the name of pity for his difficult hike.

"You are also in your thirties, and you have been working as a county magistrate for five years. How can you be so ignorant?"

"It's your own fault for getting into this situation now!"

In the face of ridicule, although he has lost his official position at this moment, although he will still be reduced to a prisoner, Hu Lizhen has no intention of admitting defeat at all.

"The sun is shining, you will not be rampant for long!" Hu Lizhen angrily scolded.

With a sneer, Gao Wenbo said: "You are really simple-minded, and you think it's just my intention to end up in this situation?"

Now that Hu Lizhen will be questioned, Gao Wenbo is in a good mood, so he thought of teaching Hu Lizhen a lesson.

I just heard him go on to say: "I have always been an official, and I have to cling to my boss, win over sages, form an alliance, and have the same interests..."

"Only when you are in office can you feel like a fish in water, and when you are in charge, you can have a good face. Only in this way can you have further opportunities!"

Speaking of this, Gao Wenbo's tone turned cold, and he said: "And you are an official, not only did you not establish a good relationship, but you also offended everyone, everyone will naturally punish you!"

"So you're thinking wrong, it's not that I want to suppress you, but that the officialdom can't tolerate you!"

Gao Wenbai thought that his words would hurt Hu Lizhen, but the latter didn't feel it at all at the moment.

"Gaofutai, do you think you are right if you say more?"

"The sun is shining, and you will be punished!"

Seeing that Hu Lizhen was so stubborn, Gao Wenbai wanted to laugh at him for being pedantic, but seeing the other party's calm and composed appearance, Gao Wenbai couldn't laugh at all.

"Take him down!" Gao Wenbo said coldly.

Continuing to let Hu Lizhen sit in the car will only make him feel uncomfortable, and of course it is out of sight.

"Hahaha……"

Hearing Hu Lizhen's carefree laughter, Gao Wenbo felt it was extremely harsh.

It took half a day from the county seat to the government office, and the sun had already set when we arrived.

But when Gao Wenbai stepped into the government office, he found that in addition to the inspector, Chen Yushan, the governor of Gyeonggi, also came.

In addition, there is an unfamiliar official in the yamen, Gao Wenbo has no impression of him.

Gao Wenbai hurriedly greeted Chen Yushan and asked, "My lord, what is this?"

Unexpectedly, Chen Yushan didn't look at him at all, but turned to the strange official and said, "Master Liu, this person is Gao Wenbai!"

Chen Yushan's introduction made Gao Wenbai feel bad.

Normally, when introducing someone, you would call your official position first and then your name, but Chen Yushan called you by your name directly, as if... the relationship was born.

"My lord, dare to ask who is this?"

Turning around, the smile on Chen Yushan's face disappeared, and he said, "This is the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Liu Jinghui, Mr. Liu, who is here to investigate your affairs!"

Such a young imperial censor?Most likely, it was the group of people from Longyou... Gao Wenbai secretly thought.

Not to mention, this guy's brain is really turning fast, and he has captured the information very keenly.

Come to check your own business?What did you do?

"You are Gao Wenbo?"

No matter how young the other party was, not only was his rank higher than his own, but he also had a close relationship with the emperor, so he was by no means something that he could underestimate.

Thinking of these, Gao Wenbo replied extremely humbly: "Yes!"

"The one outside is Hu Lizhen, the magistrate of Gaohui County?"

"This person is Hu Lizhen, but he has been dismissed!"

Liu Jinghui glanced at Gao Wenbai, and then said, "That's right, he is no longer the magistrate of Gaohui County, but the supervisory censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

Hearing this, not only Gao Wenbai was shocked, but Hu Lizhen outside the lobby was also shocked.

What's going on here?Dismissed from office for a while, and supervised the censor again.

Seeing that Chen Yushan and the others were silent, Gao Wenbo didn't know until he got into trouble, but at this moment he still tried his best to maintain his composure and asked, "My lord, are you joking? This person was dismissed for a crime, how can he go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Employment?"

"Crime? What crime? What evidence?"

After asking three consecutive questions, Liu Jinghui took out the official document and said, "This is the latest appointment from the Ministry of Officials, do you want to see it?"

Gao Wenbai was about to pick it up, but Chen Yushan gave him a hard look, and the next moment he was covered in cold sweat, why should he look at him even if the master didn't look at him.

With a cold snort, Liu Jinghui said loudly, "Hu Lizhen, hurry up and take over the appointment!"

At this moment, Hu Lizhen felt like a dream, because all this seemed unreal.

From a county magistrate to the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he not only did not dismiss but was promoted.

Walking into the lobby, taking the official letter from Liu Jinghui, and seeing the familiar official seal, Hu Lizhen burst into tears.

After all, the imperial court still has righteousness, and there is hope in this world after all!

Everyone in the hall had their own thoughts, but Liu Jinghui said solemnly: "In the spring, taxes will be raised. Some people took the opportunity to plunder the people's wealth. The emperor Long Yan was furious, and he specially ordered the third department and the household department to conduct a strict investigation!"

"The matter of the Longying Mansion is in charge of the Supervisory Censor Hu Lizhen!"

Looking at Hu Lizhen, Liu Jinghui had a rare smile on his face, and said, "Master Hu, from now on, you are under orders to investigate the case!"

Hearing Liu Jinghui's last sentence, Gao Wenbo froze, and then endless fear lingered in his heart.

Hu Lizhen, as the county magistrate, can make him burn out. Now that he has become an imperial envoy, he still has his own way of life?
At this moment, Gao Wenbai finally understood why Chen Yushan's attitude was cold. It turned out that the old guy had received the wind and wanted to cut it in advance.

Thinking of this, Gao Wenbo heard Hu Lizhen's voice next to his ear.

"Master Gao, are you alright?"

The next moment, Gao Wenbai became so anxious that he passed out directly.
