The originally harmonious atmosphere was made nervous by Mao Wenlong's words, and from Mao Wenlong's words, it was obvious that he was warning Jiang Tianxing.

The latter was stunned for a moment, and then immediately reacted. Jiang Tianxing is also a smart person, he knows that his corruption cannot be hidden from the ubiquitous secret guards. Therefore, there is no need to defend himself in front of Mao Wenlong.

After Jiang Tianxing thought for a short time, he immediately returned to Mao Wenlong: "Chief soldier, the lower officials are indeed greedy for some money. But the subordinate officer also has a hard time, and hopes that the general soldier can give the subordinate a chance to explain. ”

Taking retreat as advance, true or false, Jiang Tianxing is worthy of being an old fox in the officialdom, and he is not nervous at all.

"No problem, this general soldier just wants to give you a chance to explain, so he didn't do it to you immediately. Now, you can explain the reasons for your corruption. Mao Wenlong still looked indifferent.

Seeing Mao Wenlong's expression, Jiang Tianxing began to feel apprehensive in his heart, but he no longer had any room for maneuver. He could only bite the bullet and act according to the plan he had thought of earlier.

After pondering deeply, Jiang Tianxing cheered himself up in his heart, and then explained: "Chief soldier, Xia Guan has always been an official in the north, and has never set foot in the south. When I first came here, I didn't know the place well, and I didn't want to find a credible person to consult with when I was doing things. And on the side of the city, corruption is already rampant, if the officials want to gain a firm foothold here, they can govern the city well. You have to blend in with the environment here, so you have to be corrupt as well. ”

Corruption is corruption, Jiang Tianxing's explanation is so natural. Mao Wenlong frowned, and there was a faint murderous intent on his body.

Daming has just been unified, and it is a good time for development. At a time when all industries are waiting to be prosperous, these big men who are parents and officials have begun to steal by force in secret.

In this regard, Mao Wenlong was naturally very angry in his heart, but he also understood that not all what Jiang Tianxing said at present was fiction. It has been less than a year since the unification of the Ming Dynasty, and the system in the officialdom is still very imperfect. And there are many people who still follow the system of the previous dynasty, and some local parents and officials still use some officials of the previous dynasty.

In other words, the gentry class left over from the previous dynasty has not been disintegrated. It is only a short period of incubation and then it begins to sprout again, which is a big thing that cannot be ignored, and it is necessary to use a strong hand to nip these bad signs in the bud.

Mao Wenlong looked up at Jiang Tianxing, and he suddenly felt that the person in front of him could just become an example to warn others and future generations.

"Oh, so you're still corrupt, aren't you?" Mao Wenlong's voice suddenly became extremely cold.

"The chief soldier is angry, and the subordinate has absolutely no such thoughts. Moreover, the money embezzled by the lower officials was recorded, and he never used any of the money he embezzled. Jiang Tianxing began to get nervous, and after speaking, he took out an account book directly from his arms and slowly handed it to Mao Wenlong.

Jiang Tianxing is like a lonely boat in the sea at the moment, and there is a possibility of being submerged by the wind and waves at any time. As the prefect of Guangzhou, his status is not small.

Even in the face of Hong Chengchou, he didn't have to be completely low-voiced. Only when he encountered Mao Wenlong, an alternative, he had to worry about his own life.

Since he started to be greedy for money, he has been restrained, and he has always been thinking about Hong Chengchou's bottom line. In order not to push yourself to a dead end, however, people are always not as good as heaven. Jiang Tianxing expected everything, but he didn't expect that it would be Mao Wenlong himself who investigated his corruption.

Accidents always came too suddenly, and Jiang Tianxing was completely caught off guard at the moment. The power of imperial power is undoubtedly displayed, and the brilliance of feudalism is shining on it.

Mao Wenlong hesitated for a moment, and then reached out to take Jiang Tianxing's account book. After casually turning the two pages and looking at them a few times, Mao Wenlong lost interest.

Because he had already made up his mind to use Jiang Tianxing to make an example of him. Shock the current parents of the entire Ming Dynasty and let them all understand a truth. He, the emperor, will never allow any corruption.

With the above reasons, Mao Wenlong no longer has to care about how much money Jiang Tianxing is greedy for. Whether or not he has used these ill-gotten gains, these are not important, as long as Jiang Tianxing is corrupt and confirms this matter, he will not be allowed to have any distinction.

His face became even more gloomy, and the murderous intent on Mao Wenlong's body was even stronger, and even began to show it in his eyes.

Jiang Tianxing suddenly realized that something was wrong, and he was just about to open his mouth to plead with Mao Wenlong, but Mao Wenlong was one step ahead of him, and said coldly: "Come on, take ......"

"General soldier ......" Jiang Tianxing, who was stunned, suddenly exclaimed!

But before he could finish speaking, the two guards had already strode forward, and then pressed him to the ground. Jiang Tianxing, who was oppressed, couldn't shout at all, and suddenly his fat face turned red, and his eyes were full of anxiety.

Mao Wenlong looked at him indifferently, waved his hand to signal the guards not to use too much force, and then said coldly: "According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, you are indeed guilty of not death, but at this time, it is not as good as before, and you can only be blamed for committing crimes at the hands of the general soldier." ”

After a pause, Mao Wenlong continued: "Do you have any last wishes, read it for your meritorious service in governing the city, and give you some compensation!" ”

Jiang Tianxing's face had turned dead gray, and he had fully understood Mao Wenlong's intentions. According to Mao Wenlong, he Jiang Tianxing is certain to die today.

As the saying goes, accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, and there is another sentence that the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. Just like now, Mao Wenlong made it clear that he wanted to kill himself and give a warning to other corrupt officials in the world.

"Chief soldier, the minister is guilty! The minister has no last wishes, but hopes that the general soldier will not offend my family. All the crimes, the subordinate officials are willing to bear it. Jiang Tianxing said properly.

Death is not terrible, what is terrible is the involvement of family members or clansmen. As long as these are not implicated, Jiang Tianxing will die without regrets.

Mao Wenlong didn't hesitate at all, he nodded and said, "Don't worry, your matter will not implicate your family." ”

waved his hand to let the guards escort Jiang Tianxing down and guard him, and then, Mao Wenlong beckoned Adou to his side. Muttered in his ear for a while, Adou nodded frequently as he listened.

Soon after, after Mao Wenlong finished speaking, Adou said goodbye and left. Adou also left with a thousand dark guards, and one by one they were murderous and began to rush into the city.

Under the shroud of night, the city was very peaceful, but the arrival of the secret guard quickly broke this peace!
