After rebirth, I became the villain's Mr.

In the front hall of the palace, there was an uninvited guest. Although this person was dressed in ordinary clothes, he had a heroic face, a dignified appearance, and a majestic aura. One could tell at a glance that this person was by no means an ordinary person.

However, at this moment, this middle-aged man with outstanding temperament was looking nervously at Wei Lingxue who was sitting above him.His Royal Highness Zhao Wang is not very old, but his whole body is as cold as ice, which makes people feel intimidated when they meet him. Even Shen Jieyi, who has been in the battlefield for a long time, will be shocked by that kind of kingly aura.

Wei Lingxue was reading a letter with a smile. This letter was exactly the one written by Wei Rongyu to the administrative and military chief of Ning Province. After reading it, he sneered and said, "My second child is really messing around." He handed the letter to the person next to him Tao Jiusi.

The letter asked Cai Xiangnan and Shen Jieyi to report to him the movements of Wei Chengxue and Tao Jiusi at any time, and also asked them to act harshly to force Tao Jiusi back to Beijing Luo as soon as possible.If you are obedient and do this well, it is no problem to be promoted to an official rank. If you are not good at doing things, then be careful about the head and so on.

Judging from the font, it is not Wei Ronghe's own handwriting, it should be written by someone else.

Cai Xiangnan read the letter, and immediately complied without saying a word, and even deducted seven cents from the money for water and disaster relief.But Shen Jieyi is a member of the military, straightforward and loyal. First, he can't understand the shady tricks behind the prince, and second, he has some contact with Wei Lingxue in private. Knowing that His Royal Highness Zhao Wang is definitely not a thing in the pool, he is willing to treat each other with sincerity , and then hastily braved the heavy rain from the camp to Ningjin to ask to see Wei Lingxue.

Seeing that Wei Chengxue had read the letter, Shen Jieyi clasped his fists together, and said in a dignified manner: "The crown prince asked me and Cai Xiangnan to make things difficult for His Highness. I absolutely cannot agree to such a thing, so I came here to inform His Highness."

Wei Lingxue glanced at Shen Jieyi casually, and he was still thinking about the commander of the capital.

The Commander-in-Chief is the highest military officer in the land of David. If he intends to stand on his side, then many things will be easy to handle in the future. If he is in trouble with himself, he should get rid of him as soon as possible.So, is this Shen Jieyi loyal to him or is he acting on occasion?Wei Nexue thought silently in his heart, but he was not in a hurry, he had plenty of ways to test this commander in the future.

After reading the letter, Tao Jiusi handed it back, and said with a gentle smile, "The commander really has a heart to tell the matter at the risk of violating the prince. But... Tao still has something to ask."

Shen Jieyi said seriously: "Mr. Tao, please."

Tao Jiusi still smiled: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince and King Zhao, it's clear at a glance who has the upper hand. I don't know why Mr. Shen chose to betray the Crown Prince?"

In the eyes of the world, if you don't take the broad road, but choose to jump on this thorny path, everyone will doubt it.

Shen Jieyi knew that he would definitely have to submit a letter of honor for his surrender, and the weight of this letter is far from enough at present, so he did not explain, but only promised: "Your Highness, sir, Lu Fangweng said that 'to be born is to be an official, and to be dead is to be famous' A man is alive to establish a lifetime of merit, and this official is optimistic about His Royal Highness Zhao Wang, this is my reason. I know that what I say now is false, and no matter how determined I am, it is not as direct as actual action. I Shen Jieyi put a sentence here today, if His Highness has any orders, Shen will definitely obey them seriously. If the banner is raised in the future, Shen will be the first to respond, regardless of the consequences."

Shen Jieyi's words were sincere, but what they planned was definitely not a trivial matter, so Tao Jiusi nodded and said vaguely, "We are all planning for David."

In fact, Tao Jiusi knew very well that this Shen Jieyi was one of the generals under the command of the Japanese defender Xuexue, a vanguard who contributed to Jingluo, and was very brave and good at fighting.But he knew about the future, Wei Lingxue didn't know, so he deliberately asked Shen Jieyi to explain himself, and gave Wei Lingxue a basis for judgment.

Sure enough, Wei Nexue nodded after hearing this.He doesn't show himself now, not to mention that no one will send spies to him, even if they do, they will never use such an excuse.

Wei Lingxue pondered for a while, then raised the corners of his mouth lightly, "Lord Shen, the river is flooded, the people are displaced, the chief envoy of Ning Province is hanging high, and the Zhao Palace has no money and no one. matter, would you like to hear it?"

Shen Jieyi solemnly said: "Please speak, Your Highness."

Wei Lingxue stood up, walked to the window, watched the heavy rain outside, and said slowly: "Master Shen, please send soldiers with water skills to rescue people and disasters along the Li River."

When Shen Jieyi heard that such a trivial matter was nothing to worry about, he immediately said loudly: "It is imperative!"

At this time, the sound of rain outside the window was majestic, like the horn of an expedition.

Wei Lingxue acted vigorously and resolutely, God acted resolutely, not only that, but also generously, sending out big raindrops.Although the disaster relief was carried out in an orderly manner, the rain did not improve.What is even more speechless is that the money that Cai Xiangnan withheld from his teeth was not directly handed over to King Zhao, but distributed layer by layer.

This is not bad, Ning province is full of corruption, every time a level is passed, money disappears, as little as one-tenth, and the courageous ones dare to embezzle nearly half of the money.While fighting the flood ahead and waiting for relief, all levels in Ning Province still have the mind to play with power, and they don't take the disaster and the lives of the people as the same thing at all.

Yao Wangze looked at the interrogation results handed over by Zhu Shunli, and said angrily: "It's too hateful! It's too hateful!"

Although he is usually stable and calm in times of crisis, he is still furious when he sees such behaviors that ignore the life and death of the people and only care about their own pockets.

Su Qingquan snorted coldly, and said: "The Lizhou government is the most excessive. It is obviously the place with the worst flood, but the magistrate took half of the appropriation to build a new house for the concubine. Your Highness is in charge of disaster relief. These people dare to do this. How dare you do this?" big."

Tao Jiusi also thinks the same way now, His Royal Highness Zhao personally intervened in the matter, so many people can't tolerate it.To be the sword of the king, if you don't establish prestige, you will never wait for the awe of others

Tao Jiusi said meaningfully: "Ning Province has a lot of evils, it seems that it's time for a complete change."

Wei Lingxue smiled coldly, got up and sketched on the map of Ning Province behind him, and said solemnly: "Take these few places for surgery!"

Five days later, the palace guards were divided into four teams, each with weapons, led by Ye Liufeng, Ye Huixue, Yao Wangze, and Su Qingquan, and went straight to the four state capitals of Lizhou, Yuanzhou, Danzhou, and Zhizhou. Check the account and force the magistrate to hand over the money that was swallowed. If he doesn't cooperate, Wei Lingxue ordered to cut it off directly without reporting it.

The magistrates all straightened their backs at the beginning, some said they were going to appeal, some asked if there was any king's law, but the guards of the palace didn't care so much, they just listened to King Zhao's order, and buzzed their respective swords, guns, axes and axes rattle.It didn't take long for these magistrates to understand that King Zhao was serious this time, whether to die immediately or save his life to turn around later, most of them chose the former and handed over the embezzled relief money.

But everyone didn't expect that Wei Chengxue was the one who left trouble for himself. After handing over the money, they were all taken back to the palace. King Zhao personally met everyone and expressed enthusiastically that you would pay back the money you have pocketed this time. It is far from enough, only by spitting out all the money that has been embezzled over the years, will there be a chance of survival.

The magistrates looked at each other, started a new round of hesitation, and handed over the money, wouldn't that just add guilt to King Zhao's handling of them?If you don't pay the money, maybe Mr. Cai will come to protect himself.

Within a few days, Cai Xiangnan really came to King Zhao's mansion in a fit of rage to question his teacher.

Tao Jiusi didn't let him enter the main hall, so he threw a pile of account books and evidence on him, and shouted angrily: "Lord Cai, your subordinates have solid evidence of corruption and bribery. Your Highness has already reported to the court. Is it possible that you come to protect them now?" Is it collusion? His Royal Highness is working hard to rule the country, and the most disgusting thing is to lie to others, and Mr. Cai is going to send it to the door, so that His Highness will set a bad example?"

Cai Xiangnan was in a bit of a dilemma. Although the prince said he would support him, he did not agree to support all the officials in the four states. Moreover, he heard that Fang Zongqi, the Tai Fu next to the prince, was the most innocent and jealous. Who is really not sure.

Losing is not losing, Cai Xiangnan said a few harsh words, and then left angrily.Tao Jiusi deliberately told this matter to several magistrates. Seeing that their immediate superiors did not protect themselves, they couldn't bear the pressure one after another, and sold off the embezzled money that had been exchanged for house antiques, just to save their lives.

Regardless of these pleadings, Wei Chengxue, the four magistrates arrested by King Zhao's Mansion were all guilty of heinous crimes, fish and meat for the common people, and caused chaos in the village. He ordered Zhu Shunli to list the crimes of the four people one by one, and posted them all over the streets of Ning Province. , and then picked a day, pressed the four of them to the Lihe River for interrogation and beheaded together, and warned the remaining prefects in Ning province to put their heart into disaster relief and work seriously, otherwise they would end up like the prefects of the four prefectures of Liyuan Danzhi.

Strange to say, since these four all-permitting magistrates were killed, the heavy rain in Ning Province has gradually stopped, and the people have lamented that it is God who stopped the disaster after seeing the wicked, and all this is due to King Zhao. Your insight and benevolence!

For a time, King Zhao's reputation became even stronger in Ning Province.

At the end of the year, under the leadership of Xia Kaiyan, the dam was rebuilt, and several river channels connected to the Li River were also dredged. If there is heavy rain in the future, the flood will never overflow here.

Xia Kaiyan and Zhu Shunli returned to Ningjin before the New Year's Eve. Both of them lost a lot of weight, especially Xia Kaiyan, who used to be romantic and suave, was on the front line day and night. , It has a bit of vicissitudes and mature charm.

However, the whole palace finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After the autumn rain, Ning Province has come to the snowy season, which means that the winter is coming and the end of the year is approaching.This year, Prince Zhao's Mansion has done a lot of important things, and the entire mansion is exhausted. Wei Lingxue intends to let everyone have a good year and take a few days off to have a good rest.But before the Spring Festival, another unexpected guest came to Prince Zhao's Mansion.
