Wang Qi talked about the situation of exterminating the Japanese people in Luzi Island, and then said again that he would encircle and suppress the Japanese people at sea. At the same time, he called on the people who knew the situation of the Japanese people to take the initiative to report the news so that the government could take action.

After Wang Qi arranged to go down, the army disembarked and landed, and temporarily stationed on the shore.

The team rested and was delayed for a day.

On this day, six common people came to see him and told them about the Japanese.

Wang Qi gathered all the news, and it was still Wei Xun who led the way to sea.In just ten days, Wang Qi and his team wiped out all the Japanese people in the surrounding area.

Entering September, the weather gradually cools down.

On this day, the people led by Wang Qi returned to the barracks on the shore of Haixi Ferry.

Wei Xun's [-] soldiers have been drawn from Yan Chixing's command and handed over to Wei Xun as commander.

Inside the Chinese army tent.

Wang Qiduan sat on the main seat, looked down at Wei Xun, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Xun, you can arrange it yourself when it comes to the warships to be built. For the materials and money you need, you can go directly to the governor of Kuaiji, and he will do his best. support."

Wei Xun frowned, and said, "King Qi, about Zuo Yuneng, governor of Kuaiji County, it is said that he is not a good official. In short, Zuo Yuneng is also a corrupt person."

Wang Qidao: "I have already arranged for people to investigate Zuo Yuneng's situation. There is nothing to worry about. The newly appointed governor of Kuaiji will fully support you."

Wei Xun said: "Qi Wang is wise."

The officials of the prefect of Kuaiji have changed, and everything will be easier.

Wang Qi's eyes fell on Zhou Zishan, and he said: "Military Master, you can only go once when you go to Japan as an envoy. After all, the Japanese people at sea have been encircled and suppressed, so you can go to Japan as an envoy."

Zhou Zishan said: "I have no shirkable responsibility."

In fact, he also wanted to go to Wa country to have a look, and learn about the situation of Wa country along the way.The follow-up Qi State is to destroy the Wa State, and will not maintain a peaceful situation with the Wa State.

Going to test it now and find out the bottom line will help you start a war in the future.

Wang Qi nodded and said: "Since that's the case, the military division will leave earlier. This king is also preparing to leave for Shanyin County in Kuaiji County. After about half a month, Kuaiji County should investigate clearly."

"I obey my orders!"

Wei Xun and Zhou Zishan answered in unison.

After making arrangements, Wang Qi set off for Shanyin County with more than a hundred personal guards under his command.

On the way to Shanyin County, Wang Qi had already arranged for soldiers to send a message at a speed of [-] miles, ordering Cui Dongshan to release Long Ying and let him come to Shanyin County.

Chapter 718 Talent is Rare

Kuaiji County, Shanyin County.

This is where the county government is located. Compared with Zhang'an County and other surrounding places, Shanyin County is more prosperous.

Sheriff's Mansion, in the study.

The prefect Zuo Yuneng was painting, which was his favorite thing to do.If he thinks he has drawn a proud painting, he can look for opportunities to sell it.

This is a profitable business, so Zuo Yu can paint when he has nothing to do.

A picture that Zuo Yuneng is currently drawing is a picture of an old cow eating grass.In the painting, the head of the cow is facing the sky, the tail of the cow is swinging, but the body of the cow is skinny, and there are some weeds on the ground, which looks quite weird.

After Zuo Yuneng finished the last stroke, he picked up the pen to sign and seal it, and then looked at it carefully.He nodded in satisfaction, and said to himself: "Yes, yes, this painting of an old cow eating grass has profound meaning and contains more truth. This painting is worth at least 10 taels of silver. Find a chance and get these businessmen Gather it up and let them appreciate it."

He was very happy.

Glad to have drawn such a picture.

"Bang! Bang!!"

A knock on the door sounded from outside the room.

Zuo Yuneng ordered: "Come in!"

The door creaked, and a thin figure entered, but it was Ling Ran.He bowed to Zuo Yuneng and said respectfully, "My lord."

Zuo Yuneng asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Ling Ran said: "From Zhang'an County, news just came that King Qi wiped out the entire Zhang'an County Linhai Japanese people, including Saburo Hattori and Kazuo Murata, all of them were killed. All the Japanese people were massacred without recruiting a single person. "

Zuo Yuneng laughed and said: "It is a good thing to kill all the Japanese people. The Japanese people have been killed. Zeng Zigong, Li Shanquan and others are already dead. All of them have died without proof, so it has nothing to do with me. What's more, Zeng Zigong It’s been almost half a month since Gong and the others died, and they were not investigated before, and they will not be investigated now.”

Ling Ran said: "My lord, we still have to be more cautious and not be careless."

Zuo Yuneng said: "I know what to do, I won't be careless during this time."

Ling Ran said, "It's good that my lord understands."

In fact, Ling Ran was still quite worried in his heart.Zuo Yu can regard wealth as his life, constantly amassing money and accumulating a lot of money.Zuo Yuneng doesn't spend money on a large scale, and he doesn't have any special hobbies, he just likes to collect money.

"Report!"

At this moment, another attendant entered.

The attendant reported: "My lord, King Qi's personal guards have sent a message. King Qi has brought a group of personal guards to Shanyin County. Now, King Qi is estimated to be more than ten miles away from Shanyin County. "

"understood!"

Zuo Yuneng waved his hand, and the attendant retreated.

Zuo Yuneng looked at Ling Ran and said, "Sir, King Qi specially arranged for someone to send a message. Do you think it is possible for Wang Qi to deal with me this time?"

Ling Ran shook his head, and said, "Your Excellency has never taken any drastic actions, not to mention all situations are handled in a low-key manner. Therefore, this time's matter should not matter. After all, King Qi came to Zhang'an County to deal with the Japanese."

"If it wasn't for that idiot Zeng Zigong, who joined forces with the Li family to collude with the Japanese, the King of Qi would never have paid attention to us in Kuaiji County. The King of Qi is always busy, so he has no time to pay attention to us."

Ling Ran said, "My lord, don't worry."

After Zuo Yu could hear it, he nodded and said, "That's the truth."

Ling Ran said, "We are welcoming them normally now."

Zuo Yuneng said: "Go and make arrangements, we will go to the south gate later and meet you at the gate."

"Yes!"

Ling Ran replied again.

He turned around and went down to make arrangements, and within a quarter of an hour, everything was properly arranged.All the officials of the Sheriff's Mansion assembled, and then went to the gate of the city together with Zuo Yuneng.

A group of people arrived and waited.

Fortunately, the weather in September is already quite cool. Although the sun is shining, it is not as hot as in July and August.Standing at the gate of the city, there are still gusts of cool wind blowing, which is quite refreshing.

While Zuo Yuneng and the others were waiting, time passed in a hurry, and suddenly there was a sound of horseshoes ahead.But a group of more than a hundred cavalry came at a fast gallop.

"Here we come, King Qi is here."

In the crowd, someone shouted loudly.

Zuo Yuneng pulled himself together, straightened his clothes, and his face became serious.After all, this was the first time seeing Wang Qi, Zuo Yuneng was still a little nervous.

Zuo Yu can look towards the official road in front of him. Under the golden autumn sun, the official road is full of smoke and dust.Not long after, I saw Wang Qi and his party, less than a hundred steps away from the county seat.

At this time, the rushing team began to slow down.

Zuo Yuneng carried his robe even more, and led the people forward first.When there were still about ten steps away from Wang Qi's team, Zuo Yuneng put his hands together and saluted, "Xiaguan Zuo Yuneng, Governor of Kuaiji County, pays homage to King Qi."

"Meet the King of Qi."

Everyone else saluted together.

Everyone had serious expressions on their faces. After all, facing Wang Qi, they were all nervous.

Wang Qi is the lord of Qi.

One word from Wang Qi can decide their life or death.Once Wang Qi is unhappy, all of them can't even think about having a good life. Even if Wang Qi sees who is unhappy, his good life will come to an end.

Wang Qi didn't care about these saluting people, his eyes fell on Zuo Yuneng, and he asked, "Are you Zuo Yuneng?"

"Yes!"

Zuo Yu could answer.

His heart tightened, and he always felt that something was wrong.

Wang Qi flicked his sleeve and said, "Come here, take it!"

The soldier got the order, and immediately stepped forward, directly erecting Zuo Yuneng.This scene stunned the officials of the prefect's mansion.Zuo Yuneng himself was in a daze, he didn't expect Wang Qi to arrest him directly, without any words or signs.

Zuo Yuneng shouted: "King Qi, I was wronged, I was wronged, what are you arresting me for?"

Wang Qi smiled coldly, and said: "I haven't even said why I arrested you. You said you were wronged. You are not a guilty conscience. Why are you saying this?"

Zuo Yuneng said: "King Qi, please show me why the officials were arrested."

Wang Qidao: "If you want people not to know, you have to do nothing. You are in Kuaiji County, wantonly grabbing money, and even the paintings that look like ghost paintings can sell more than [-] taels of silver. That's why you were arrested."

"As the parent official of a county, I don't think about how to develop the place, or how to make the people live a better life. Instead, I just focus on grabbing money and people, and if you don't arrest who?"

"Do you think that this king is not aware of your contacts with Zeng Zigong and Li Shanquan? Or do you think that this king is only here for the Japanese and will not deal with you."

Wang Qi's words were sharp, and every sentence pierced his heart.

Zuo Yu was stunned when he heard these words.

Finished!

His affairs were exposed.

Zuo Yuneng was a little lucky before, thinking that he would not be taken down, so he didn't take any action.Now that Wang Qi has made it clear, especially Zeng Zigong and Li Shanquan, obviously everything has been verified.

He couldn't avoid it at all, and he couldn't justify it. This is an iron-clad fact.

Zuo Yuneng's legs went limp, his expression frightened.If the soldiers hadn't supported him, he would have fallen to the ground directly.

Zuo Yuneng's psychological defense collapsed, and he hurriedly said: "King Qi, I know I was wrong. King Qi, I kept all the money I collected and never used it. My money is all in the house!"

Wang Qi snorted, waved his hand, and the soldiers escorted Zuo Yuneng back to the queue, then Wang Qi glanced at the county magistrate, chief secretary and other officials of the county guard's mansion, and waved his hand again, taking everyone down.

"Enter the city!"

Wang Qi arrested everyone before going to the Sheriff's Mansion.

He handled the case directly at the Sheriff's Office.

Wang Qi did not waste time, and immediately brought Zuo Yuneng to trial. Compared with Zeng Zigong, Li Shanquan and others, Zuo Yuneng was even more strange, and he was single-minded in trying his best to grab money.Whether it is from the counties, or from local businessmen, or from the common people, as long as there is a way to make money, he will try his best.

In addition, Zuo Yuneng even openly sells officials. For local officials at the county level, he clearly marks the price and writes down the price of the official position. As long as there is enough money, Zuo Yuneng can be satisfied.

It's a complete mess of ecology.

After Wang Qi interrogated Zuo Yuneng, he also interrogated Zuo Yuneng's account books, which recorded all his money.After Wang Qi flipped through it, he was also speechless.The amount recorded in the account book is as much as 980 taels of silver.

This is not a small amount.

It is really shocking that a county guard has seized nearly 1000 million taels of silver in a short period of time.We must know that today's Kuaiji County is not considered rich, but it has grabbed so much money.

Wang Qi was even more angry at Zuo Yuneng's behavior, and even more disappointed with the local supervisory department.The supervision of local officials is now in the territory of Qi State. In terms of duties, it is the task of the Supervision Department, not the responsibility of the Intelligence Bureau.

From the line of Zuo Yuneng, Wang Qi was interrogated one by one, and after the entire interrogation, almost none of the officials in the county guard's mansion were clean, and all of them were taken down.

The county magistrate of Shanyin County is no exception, he is also greedy for money.

Wang Qi was removed one by one, and everyone was sent to prison.

Wang Qi is temporarily stationed in Kuaiji County, and he personally handles all the affairs of the Sheriff's Mansion.While Wang Qi was dealing with matters, he was also learning about the situation in Kuaiji County.Under the auspices of Wang Qi, in just three days, the operation of Kuaiji County resumed.

During this period, Wang Qi found capable people among the small officials in Kuaiji County.

This person's name is Jiang Hu, and he is a petty official. In fact, he is not a petty official.

He has been working in Hucao, because the officials of Hucao and many other officials in other cao have vegetarian meals, but many specific matters are handled by Jiang Hu.

He is well aware of the government affairs of the entire county governor's mansion, and he is also clear about the administration of the entire Kuaiji County.

When Wang Qi arranged for a small official of the county guard's mansion who had never had any problems to do things, Jiang Hu stood out. He handled things meticulously and very well.

Even Wang Qi couldn't fault it.

This is the talent of a county guard, even if Jiang Hu governs a county, there is no problem at all.

Wang Qi observed for another two days and was sure that Jiang Hu was good, so he directly arranged someone to inform Jiang Hu to come to the study.

Li Wuji went down to inform that Jiang Hu was coming soon.

It was the first time Wang Qi saw Jiang Hu. The Jiang Hu in front of his eyes looked quite old. At a glance, at least forty years old, even the temples were already gray, giving people the vicissitudes of life.
