Li Xiuyuan walked into the gloomy lobby.

He stood with his hands in his hands at the moment, quietly watching the plaque hanging from the mirror above the lobby.

In this gloomy lobby, the pure copper plaque also looks dull, there are many cracks on it, and the plaque seems to have fallen, and the position is not correct enough.

Standing here for a long time, Li Xiuyuan could even smell the faint smell of blood wafting from the entire hall.

It is believed that there were countless people who shouted grievances in this hall, and blood was splashed five steps.

At this moment, a sneaky black shadow suddenly appeared behind the beams and pillars of the lobby, this person was wearing an official hat, his head was fat, but his body was very thin, he looked very weird, he was crawling along the beams at the moment, as if he felt something uncomfortable, and wanted to leave here, but because of it

The movement was slow, but he couldn't leave immediately, so he could only slowly crawl along the beams towards the inner hall.

At the moment, for some reason.

A ray of slanting sun spilled in from outside the lobby, and the sunlight fell on Li Xiuyuan's body, and the entire dim lobby gradually became brighter.

The resentment that pervades the surroundings is rapidly dissipating, and the dim and oppressive feeling is gradually disappearing.

"Puff~!"

The big-headed ghost on the beam of the house was illuminated by the sun, and immediately fell off the beam, he shook his head, picked up the official hat that had fallen on the ground, and straightened it, and then tried to crawl to the dark place next to it.

"Resentment and greed breed evil like you? There is something like you entrenched in the lobby, and anyone who becomes a prefect is afraid that he will quickly degenerate, am I right, greedy ghost?" Li Xiuyuan looked at the little ghost with a bloated head and couldn't move on his stomach, and his expression was slightly cold.

This little ghost is not a pure ghost, but evil thoughts, greed manifestations, can affect people's minds, and people who are not strong enough will be bewitched and depraved.

It's like some people can't restrain their desires when they arrive at the Qinglou.

It's not that the Qinglou woman seduces, but the Qinglou is full of lust, which will unconsciously lure you to fall, just like gambling in the gambling stalls, full of gold and silver wealth, and it will also confuse you, so that you are blinded by money and do a lot of profit-seeking things.

This is also the reason why cultivators should avoid red dust.

And when these evil thoughts and desires accumulate in too many quantities, they will manifest this evil.

The ghost that Li Xiuyuan saw was a greedy ghost, manifested by the evil idea of corruption and bribery, if an official sat here and was given gifts and bribes, this greedy ghost would come out and bewitch you in the bottom of your heart, and let you fall into depravity step by step.

Of course, the degeneration of officials is not because of this ghost, but because there are one corrupt and bribed-taking Yamen officials after another to breed such evil.

Then this evil deceive the people who later entered the yamen.

Therefore, the more depraved and corrupt the place becomes, the more depraved and corrupt it becomes, and even those who have a little righteousness will soon be assimilated.

If a yamen is still like this, if it is enlarged, the entire Great Song Dynasty is also like this, then there will be a problem with this dynasty, and then it will not be far from changing the dynasty.

"My lord, I have summoned all the people who are now on duty in the yamen according to my lord's orders. At this time, Cui Wei walked in and gave a salute with a fist.

At this moment, outside the lobby, officials, scribes, and servants from the yamen walked in one after another.

"Very well, let them all stand in line, I want to speak. Li Xiu said from afar, he casually pulled out the Tai'a sword at his waist and threw the sword.

Instantly, the sword pierced the greedy ghost's body and nailed it to the ground.

The greedy ghost let out a miserable cry, like the creak of an old wooden door.

Cui Wei saw the little ghost at this time, and immediately his eyelids jumped, and his whole body subconsciously tensed, revealing a vigilant look.

How is it possible that there are still little ghosts entrenched in the yamen?

He also knew that it was impossible to breed ghosts in the yamen, and even if there were resentful ghosts reporting crimes, they could only linger at the yamen, unless they got the county order, and the prefect allowed the ghosts to enter the yamen.

And this little ghost obviously did not come in from the outside, but was bred in this yamen.

However, under the sword of Tai'a, the imp quickly disappeared with a few screams.

For such evil ghosts, Li Xiuyuan killed them directly without even thinking about it.

But such a scene fell on those civil officials, but the eyes of the little officials couldn't help but be a little nervous, they saw Li Xiuyuan throwing the sword out and standing on the ground, and they thought they were standing up.

"I'm afraid that this new adult will inevitably have to send a majestic shot, and it seems that he has to deal with it carefully. ”

"I heard that this lord was sent by the minister of the imperial court to temporarily act as the prefect, and he was responsible for thoroughly investigating the Shangyuan Festival fire case, so he had to wait for him well no matter what, so as not to get into trouble. ”

"Even Mr. Cui of the Six Doors was dispatched by him, and this adult's background is not small. ”

These civil officials and old officials have different thoughts in their hearts, and for temporary prefects like Li Xiuyuan, they all treat them in the same way, that is, what this lord says and does what he does, he waits for him in a good voice, and after this limelight, the yamen is still business as usual.

Li Xiuyuan stepped onto the main seat at this moment, sat under the main seat hanging high in the mirror, and then swept his eyes slightly and glanced at these people.

"Is there only such a small number of people in a prefect's yamen? I remember that the imperial court stipulated that there were more than the number of people in a prefect's office, and there were several fewer civil servants, and there was also one less civil official. ”

"Back to my lord, I didn't know that my lord was coming today, so everyone who wasn't on duty went back. An old official replied cautiously.

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said, "Okay, a few fewer people, a few fewer people, anyway, it's not useful, this official has just arrived today, some people may know the origin of this official, some people don't know, but this is not important, the important thing is that from today onwards, this official will temporarily take the position of prefect, here,

The official must not be disobedient, otherwise Hugh blames the official for being ruthless and ruthless. ”

Everyone was submissive, nodding their heads again and again, indicating that they didn't dare.

"Let's talk about the official affairs of the yamen first, today all the officials and clerks who are absent and do not come will be dismissed, and the vacant positions will be filled by the people behind. Li Xiuyuan said calmly.

As soon as these words came out, some people were pleasantly surprised, and some people were surprised.

The surprise was that someone was about to be promoted, and the surprised person was because he didn't expect this new adult to be so bold that he directly dismissed more than a dozen people from their official positions.

"My lord, this is the right to remove these people from their positions, and they have to submit the list to the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Officials will decide. The old man replied respectfully.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I know, so those people feel that it is inappropriate to go to Zhang Yuan of the early officials department, in short, don't let them enter the prefect's yamen tomorrow, whoever is put in will be dismissed from the official position, and in the same way, the vacant official positions will be filled by the people behind, and the civil officials who are not enough will be filled by the civil officials, and the civil officials who are not enough will be filled by the minor officials."

If there is really no one left, it will be recommended by you, and I will hire them as appropriate. ”

"If anyone dares to make trouble in front of the yamen, Cui Wei will give him a charge of being suspected of being a demon of the Five Paths Sect, and put him in a prison cell, and he may be comfortable after being locked up for a few months. ”

"Yes, my lord," Cui Wei was a little surprised.

He has never seen such a messy adult, this is in the capital, and those civil officials in the prefect may have a background behind them.

Of course, Li Xiuyuan understands that he is doing this nonsense, but if he wants to do things in this yamen, he must break up these civil officials and old officials in the yamen, and he can't let them hug each other tightly and collude.

And the best way to do this is naturally to beat a stick indiscriminately, knock down a batch first, and then reward a batch.

Even if these civil officials and old officials hold on tightly, they will definitely have a gap in their hearts.

As for the trouble behind, don't think about it, the trouble is there and can't be bigger than the present.

"In addition, the duty of the yamen will also be taken over by the manpower of the official, all the officials and the head of the team will be in charge of Cui Wei, listen to his orders, and continue until the official leaves office, if anyone feels that the official has something wrong with the handling of the official, you can go to the imperial court to impeach the official, provided that it is your recital

The portion is enough, otherwise don't waste this heart. Li Xiuyuan said lightly.

Everyone hurriedly bowed their heads and bent down, not daring to say anything.

"Do you dare to know in your hearts that that's all for today's lecture, everything will be as usual from tomorrow, in addition, the person in charge of the file will put the file of Fang Shengyu's assassination case on this table before tomorrow morning, and the official will see it tomorrow. ”

"It's not too early, it's all gone. ”

He didn't waste time, just said a few words, and then let everyone go.

Because I didn't think about staying in the yamen for a long time, I didn't bother to care about these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, even if I tried my best to clean up this yamen?

It's not like you're going to be back to normal.
