The servant on Yuwen Liao's side went to inquire again. After inquiring for a whole day, he felt more and more that Bei Lexuan was an extraordinary servant.

"That servant doesn't have to do any work, and it seems that the Imperial Envoy cares a lot about that servant, and even looks at him with a hint of affection."

After hearing the report from the servant, Yuwen Liao's eyes lit up and he understood in his heart that this imperial envoy was not interested in women but in men.

As long as he can find out what he likes, he will be able to pull him to his side.

This time Yuwen Liao learned his lesson. To be on the safe side, he went to take a look and verify it in person.

It is indeed seen that the imperial envoy cares very much about the pretty boy beside him, which proves that the imperial envoy likes small officials.

Bei Lexuan had always been dressed as a servant and followed Qin Erlu around, so everyone thought that Bei Lexuan was Qin Erlu's servant.

So on the second night, Yuwen Liao sent two chicks from the small official residence to Qin Erlu.

Thinking that Lord Wen came here with the Imperial Envoy to do business, and that he had always been beside the Imperial Envoy like a lackey, he should have the same preferences, so two minor officials were also given to Lord Wen.

Qin Erlu was completely furious!

"Sir Wen, please present to His Majesty every good deed Lord Yuwen has done, one by one, in detail. If you dare to miss anything, beware of my fists!"

How could Lord Wen dare to miss anything? Even without his instructions, he had to write it clearly and carefully.

He was so angry that Lord Wen, who had a great reputation and was upright, was actually being spied on by Yuwen Nasi through the crack in the door.

Not only is it written clearly in the little notebook, but it also adds embellishments.

Not only is Lord Yuwen not doing anything practical, but the people in the city are so skinny that their bones are just skin and bones, and there are many people starving to death outside the city, while he himself is fat and bloated.

After the imperial envoy arrived, he did not think about helping the imperial envoy to settle the refugees, but only wanted to send women to the imperial envoy through the back door. He did not write about the purpose of using the back door or what he wanted to do.

After all, they confiscated those women, so the backdoor claim was not proven. But even if it was not proven, the emperor knew what Lord Yuwen was up to at a glance.

It’s all because of greed!

It’s a pity that he hit a wall this time!

He deserves it! As an official appointed by the imperial court, he does not work for the people but only thinks about these crooked ways. His career as a prefect has come to an end.

Mr. Wen's little notebook records Yuwen Liao's "heroic" deeds, with dozens of entries every day.

The matter here is considered a top priority and will be reported to the emperor in two or three days.

Therefore, it is true that Lord Wen thought that Yuwen Liao's tenure as prefect had come to an end.

Three days later, the Emperor issued a handwritten order, asking the Imperial Envoy Qin Erlu to collect evidence of Yuwen Liao's corrupt officials. If the evidence is conclusive, there is no need to report it, and he can execute them first and report later. Xuzhou Prefecture will be temporarily under his full management, and a new prefect will take office soon to help him deal with the affairs of Xuzhou Prefecture.

With the emperor's special privilege, Qin Erlu and Lord Wen no longer hid anything, but rolled up their sleeves and got to work collecting evidence directly.

The people of Xuzhou Prefecture have always been exploited and oppressed by the government.

Many people paid high taxes on their farmland every year, but their families were never able to eat enough, and some even starved to death. They hated Yuwen Liao to the core.

But it was not just Yuwen Liao, the same was true for the county magistrates under his jurisdiction.

"Your Excellency, you don't know that every early spring, the government requires every household to pay silver per person, saying that it is for water repair.

In our generation, several villages paid the fee for four consecutive years.

As long as the water conservancy project can be repaired, we are willing to go hungry and only eat one meal a day.

But the government took our money, but they didn’t do anything. They took our money and filled their pockets. As a result, when the drought came this year, the crops that should have been harvested were not irrigated with water. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be a total loss, and there wouldn’t be so many refugees like us!”

"Yes, who wants to wander around these days? Everyone knows that once you leave, it will be difficult to return to your hometown.

If you die outside one day, no one will collect your body.

But if you don’t go out, you’re just waiting to die!”

Qin Erlu and Lord Wen listened to the refugees' stories, visited them one by one, and asked refugees in several places, but they all said the same thing.

Qin Erlu and Lord Wen secretly looked for evidence and secretly visited the county magistrate's office under their jurisdiction, and the evidence was conclusive.

Not only was the Xuzhou prefect Yuwen Liao dismissed, but also the four county magistrates under his jurisdiction and some responsible officials were dismissed.

Because they were corrupt and committed crimes, not only were their official positions removed, but their properties were also confiscated, making them return all the money they had extorted from the people.

The county magistrates under Yuwen Liao's jurisdiction would never allow an imperial envoy to act in this way, saying that he was slandering and dissatisfied, and complaining about injustice.

It doesn’t matter. Who is Qin Erlu?

He is a military officer and has good martial arts skills. If he is not good at literature, then we can just suppress him with force.

I'll just hit the one that jumps around.

If they still refuse to behave after being beaten, he will just execute them first and report later. This is the precedent set by the emperor. In order to prevent more people from being bullied by these bastards, he doesn't mind killing a few people directly.

Moreover, this was a matter of cutting the grass at its roots and eliminating harm for the people, and Qin Erlu had no psychological burden at all when doing so.

Everyone watched as the two county magistrates were beheaded. The others were so frightened that they dared not make any more noise and just let the soldiers hold them down.

Yuwen Liao didn't dare to say anything else. If he really angered the imperial envoy, he felt that he would be the next one to be beheaded.

Even though my house has been ransacked, at least I’m still alive.

In fact, he thought he was still alive, but his life would only last a few more days.

People with such serious crimes as his would be taken to the capital and beheaded at five gates as a warning to the public.

From then on, the remaining officials who had originally had some ideas no longer dared to have any evil thoughts, and even took the initiative to cooperate with the imperial commissioner in handling the case, just hoping to be given a lighter sentence.

That saying that a strong dragon doesn't suppress a local snake is just bullshit!

They just can easily suppress these local tyrants, and suppress them tightly.

Over there, Qin Erlu was cracking down on corrupt officials, and here, Qin Sixi came out of the examination room, and he was simply the most handsome guy in the entire room!

Although he has a scruffy beard, he looks much more energetic than the others.

This was also due to the fact that he himself was in very good health, and the things he brought with him were of the best quality. The food, drinks and daily necessities were all carefully prepared by his family, and even in winter they did not look dirty.

When he left the examination room, he dressed himself up neatly and looked like an outsider, not a candidate.

The other candidates also looked much better than during the Spring Examination. Many of them came out and thanked the Qin family when they saw them.

Candidate A: "Qin's shop has done a great job. Your tent tarpaulin is so useful!"

The candidate said: "Yes, yes. If I hadn't bought the tarpaulin and tent at Qin's shop, I would have missed the exam because of the rain the past two days."

Candidate C: "Forget about the exam. I'm so lucky that I didn't get gonorrhea. This is all thanks to Qin's shop."

Candidate's family: "What a good man, what a good man!"

The candidates were all truly grateful to Qin's shop, which made the Qin family members who came to pick up Qin Sixi feel flattered for a moment. They had never thought of this.
