A few days later, Wei Xiaobao issued a notice, and all streets and alleys were posted, asking the people to report the crimes of the magistrates, regardless of the size of the officials, if it was true, each person would be rewarded with 50 taels of silver.
The people are lively now, with Lord Wei sitting in Yangzhou, everyone has the bottom in their hearts, plus there is a reward for the report, and they all flock to He Yuan, Wei Xiaobao has set up an office in the front hall of He Yuan, and there is a special person responsible for receiving the people.

Wait, there is everything to say, Wei Xiaobao asked people to write them down one by one, and let the people sign and draw them.
As soon as Wei Xiaobao did this, all the officials in Yangzhou were shocked, and said in their hearts, they just received the money a few days ago, and now they are going to arrest us for the evidence of our crimes.
"Lord Wei, what are you?" Wu Zhirong was sweating profusely, I don't know if he came here, or if he was not sure, and he was sweating profusely.
"Come on, Governor Wu, please take a seat, don't worry, let's talk slowly." Wei Xiaobao pulled Wu Zhirong to sit down, and said in his heart, let your kid be proud for two more days.
Wei Xiaobao explained, "We share our worries for the court, and we are sincere, but it is inevitable that we will not be suspicious, and even the saints will be suspicious, thinking that our money is not coming from the right way, and there is a suspicion of looting the people, what do you say Wu Zhifu?" ”
"Lord Wei Mingjian, these are all lowly properties that have been sold for many years, and they are by no means looting the people, let alone improper and illegal gains." Wu Zhirong hurriedly explained, but looking at Wei Xiaobao's straight eyes, he didn't have the slightest confidence, he was just quibbling with himself.
Wei Xiaobao laughed, "Governor Wu, we are all our own people, what are you pretending to be honest with me, and the money is not coming properly, what should we do?" The official just doesn't want outsiders to criticize, so he made this decision and made a show, let's do this, others know that Yangzhou deals with corrupt officials harshly, who would believe that the silver handed over to the court will come from the wrong way? You tell me? Brother Wu. ”
"The lord is clever and despicable and admired, but this people, in case they say that they show their mouths..."Before the words fell, Wei Xiaobao smiled, "Hey... Governor Wu still can't trust this official? Now that the official is in the same boat as you, how can he frame you? Wei Xiaobao comforted.
After settling the officials one by one, Wei Xiaobao wrote a secret letter, along with the written evidence of Wu Zhirong's rebellion, the complaint of the people, and the 10 million taels of silver tickets, which were sent to the imperial court.
