Chapter 210: Catch the ducks on the shelves

Incomparably miserable howls came from the courtyard of the Great Xia Governor's Mansion, and these screams could be heard from a dozen streets in the distance. Along with the screams, there was a dull loud sound of iron rods hitting the **. The muscles were broken, the bones were shattered, the stone slabs under the human body were shattered into pieces by the huge force, and all kinds of delicate but unusually layered sounds kept coming, and the people near the Duzao Mansion hid their faces one by one, not knowing what had happened in this most powerful yamen in the past two years.

In the first courtyard of the Governor's Mansion, there were hundreds of officials from various ministries of the Governor's Mansion wearing purple robes. Their pants were ripped to their knees, and Bai swayed and carried an iron rod with a child's head thick and long, beating these people's buttocks one after another according to Xia Jie's instructions. 'Bang bang', Bai is now extremely powerful, and the iron rod is also a special material and special color, cast in hardware alloy, and there are countless spells carved on it that break the magic shield, and when it blows down, it is really smashed on the bodies of these officials.

'Bang bang bang', a few sticks fell, and the official of the Governor's Mansion who was beaten by Bai screamed miserably, his pelvis and thigh bones were smashed to pieces, flesh and blood sprayed several feet away, and half of his vertebrae were shattered. A few big witches of the Li Wu Hall on the side smiled at the official without smiling: "Honestly follow Xia Jie's words to confess, don't suffer a little, let's help you heal your injuries." If you don't want to confess, we don't care. ”

Several of the great witches of the Li Wu Hall pinched the witch seal of the 'Aoki Resurrection Spell' very gloomily, and the green light slashed back and forth against the official's body, but they refused to fall into place. Hearing the ridicule of these witches, the psychological defense line suddenly collapsed, and he howled honestly: "I confess, I confess! I privately swallowed 3,000 square meters of top-grade jade, 57,200 square meters of high-grade jade, 31,700 jin of pure gold, 98,900 jin of silver, more than 100,000 jin of red copper and bronze, 200,000 head of livestock, 38 women of people, and the title deeds of dozens of mountains and forests and pastures privately occupied by me, all of which are in the secret room of my private house. ”

Xia Jie's face was so gloomy that he could scrape off a layer of frost. He waved his hand and snorted coldly: "Qing Yan, you took someone to raid his house and copied all his greedy belongings." Then, whatever you want, you have to confess to me all the ink-greedy officials he knows. Let's make a detailed calculation of one account and one account. ”

Qing Yan's eyes widened, nodded nervously, and tugged on the sleeve of a big witch beside him, and cautiously walked to the screaming official. After looking at this official curiously for a while, Qing Yan ordered with a smile on his face: "Use the powder of 'Drunken Dragon Grass' to relieve his pain, don't cure him first." When we take out the treasures that Brother Xia Jie wants, let's talk about it. ”

A group of big witches carried this official away, Xia Jie pointed to the frightened officials next to him, and sneered: "Bai, next." Hit me hard, hit me hard, and I'll treat you to roast whole beef later. ”

"Wow!" Bai's saliva was about to flow out, he stretched out his long tongue and licked his mouth, 'quack' laughed wildly for a while, and suddenly jumped up in the air more than a hundred feet high, the iron rod danced a stick flower in his hand, and the sound of 'whew' stirred up a wave of white air, and hit the white ass of an official. I only heard a crisp sound of 'crackling', the two white and elastic buttocks burst open like bombs, and the white bones under the white muscles were beaten to shreds, and the official also let out a 'whoop~~~' scream, and immediately raised his two hands and howled: "Fierce weather, fierce weather, the lower official is guilty, I confess, I confess!"

For three days and three nights, Xia Jie, who led the counterinsurgency army back to Anyi City, did not take a step out of the governor's mansion, and even Xia Jie did not have the heart to participate in the celebration banquet set by Lu Jie. He took a great witch from the Li Wu Palace, carefully tortured and interrogated those officials under the Governor's Mansion, and took out all the huge amounts of money they were greedy for. However, Xia Jie needs to continue to clean up, and there are still more than 100,000 officials under the Governor's Mansion, especially those officials who are carrying out the task of urging and requisitioning all kinds of materials, if they want to dig out the problems on them, God knows how much time it will take.

However, the problems that have been cleaned up in just these three days and three nights have shocked Xia Jie's heart, and with his current state of mind, he is almost fainted from being frightened.

Breaking the county order and destroying the officials, Xia Jie finally understood how deeply the low-level petty officials hurt the people once they were ruthless. From the confessions of the hundreds of officials directly under his jurisdiction, Xia Jie understood that the rebellion of the Northwest Countries was just a little faster because of the instigation of Bai Python, but in fact, without Bai Python and Yi Hao and others stirring up trouble, the Northwest Countries must also rebel.

The daughters of the Northwest Hou were all defiled by the officials of the Governor's Mansion by violence, and the father of the Northwest Hou was even more severely punished with rods in front of countless subjects, the treasury of the Dayu Kingdom was exhausted, the people had no overnight food at home, and the once rich country was as dilapidated as a broken tile kiln in just two or three years. Xia Jie thought to himself that if he was a northwestern, he would have led the army to attack Anyi City a long time ago.

Throwing away the thick confession case file casually, Xia Jie looked up to the sky and sighed: "Evil! Fuck, Xuanwu Xiahou, one of my four spirits, how can he get involved in these filthy deeds?"

Xia Jie, who was a little disheartened for a while, shook his head, he had already made another decision. Since his original intention of becoming an official in Great Xia was not for the sake of high-ranking officials, and since his motivation to gain high positions and power in Great Xia was only for the blood feud of his family, then, with his current strength and power, it is enough to take revenge on the current Dongyi people. The government of Great Xia has suddenly been eroded to this point, why do you still want to get involved in this troubled water? When she thought that she had been cursed and cursed by many people behind her back in the past two years, Xia Jie felt terrified.

Early in the morning of the second day, carrying a case file several feet thick, Xia Jie went straight to the palace and asked to see him.

It was the time of the Great Dynasty Meeting, and the civil and military generals of Great Xia were there to tell the story of the Northwest Rebellion with great interest, and gave high praise to the outstanding performance of young generals such as Xia Jie and Xingtian Dafeng. As soon as he heard that Xia Jie was asking to see Xia Jie outside the hall, Lu Jie, who was very interested, immediately laughed and said, "Xuan, let Xia Jie come in." What has he been doing these days? Causing the ghosts of the Governor's Mansion to cry and howl? Ah, I heard the screams of those people, and the little dolls in the neighboring ministers' mansions were scared to the point of crying at night!"

The courtiers laughed loudly at the same time, and only Xing Tian'e tilted his head to look at the main entrance of the main hall with a puzzled face. He didn't believe that Xia Jie, a kind, simple, and steady barbarian, would be a tyrannical chief who had nothing to do and had fun beating his subordinate officials. This kind of casual beating of subordinate officials is really a lot in Great Xia, but Xia Jie is not like this kind of person?

Grabbing his beard hard, Xing Tian'e's eyes turned quickly, sweeping over Prime Minister Bi and Sangong for a while, and sweeping over the smiling face of Xuqi for a while.

Xia Jie, who had a gloomy face, grabbed the thick pile of case files and strode into the main hall, and after he bowed down to Lu Gui, he shouted loudly: "The king, the minister thinks that he is not virtuous enough, and his prestige and strength are not enough to be qualified for the post of supervising minister, so the minister asks for resignation from the post of supervising minister, and also asks the king for permission." He clenched his hands into fists, bowed deeply to Xu, and casually threw the pile of case files to the attendant beside him.

Xing Tian'e was so excited that he almost didn't pull off his beard. He covered his aching chin and shouted in a low voice: "Xia Jie, why are you okay to resign from the post of Minister of Supervision?" Xing Tian'e was really anxious, and with the huge power of the Minister of Supervision and Creation to mobilize the financial and material resources of the whole country of Great Xia, how many benefits did the Xingtian family have gained from it in the past two years? Although the current Xingtian family doesn't care about the benefits of those property, land deeds, etc., but it is better to have benefits than no benefits? Especially through the Supervision Mansion, how many people have been placed by the Xingtian family to go to other departments?

The minister of Great Xia has always been desperate to climb up, and I have never heard of anyone who resigned voluntarily, but Xia Jie has set a precedent since the founding of Great Xia. He looked at Xia Jie very curiously, shook his head puzzled, and said, "What? You don't want to be the minister of the superintendent?

Taking the case file handed over by the attendant next to him, he opened a book casually and glanced at it, gasping as if he had a toothache. He said dumbfoundedly: "An ordinary Treasury Order of the Governor's Mansion has privately coveted tens of thousands of square meters of beautiful jade, and hundreds of thousands of catties of pure gold and silver?

Xia Jie said coldly: "Your Majesty, there are 3,600 people under the Governor's Mansion, and there are 128,000 large and small warehouses, which have accumulated countless burdens needed on the construction site. Half of them fell into the hands of this group of bastards. He said angrily: "The minister thinks that he is not worthy of the mouth of the people of the world, so he also asks the king to be gracious, and the minister resigns from the position of superintendent." ”

Fu Gui and Fu Bi Xiangcheng and many courtiers quickly exchanged glances. He motioned for his chamberlains to hand over the files to the ministers below, who took turns flipping through them, as if they were all aware of these things for the first time, and at the same time shouted in surprise.

Xia Jie sneered in his heart. These people are really good at pretending. Which of the officials of the Governor's Mansion is not from a large or small Wu family? If you want to talk about the rights and wrongs committed by these officials, their family masters will not know that Xia Jie is ten thousand people who do not believe it. These moths made a fortune by virtue of the power of the Governor's Mansion, and Xia Jie didn't mind. But they harmed the people, and in the end, all the sins were passed on to Xia Jie's head, and Xia Jie was absolutely unwilling to do it.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and finally he laughed dryly: "Fierce weather, well, ah, that, Xia Jie, don't be the minister of supervision." Glancing at the courtiers in the hall, he said in a very high-pitched manner: "However, Xia Jie's achievements in the past two years, this king, and all the ministers, are all in their eyes. Therefore, this king will reward Xia Jie heavily. ”

No one said a word, reward, reward, these courtiers didn't care about this at all. What they care about is who's going to take over the position of Superintendent? It's a fat position. Looking at the small officials under the Supervision Mansion who have made such a large sum, it can only be said that Xia Jie, the Minister of Supervision and Manufacturing, is too honest and does not even have the ability to make money. Alas, it was indeed a barbarian who came out of the mountains and forests. If a son of a witch family sits in the position of the minister of supervision, wouldn't that be ......

After a while, seeing the changing faces of the courtiers, he smiled with satisfaction. Very good, another great opportunity to divide the courtiers. He happily dragged out his voice, and asked very flatly: "Then~~~, this successor~~~, do you have a candidate for your ministers?"

Xing Tian'e flicked his fingers, and a wisp of strong wind silently slammed into Xia Jie's thigh. Xia Jie only felt a pain in his thigh, and looked at Xing Tian'e fiercely. Xing Tian'e looked at Xia Jie 'pitifully', his eyes blinking desperately, and he put autumn waves at Xia Jie. Xia Jie's heart felt a chill, and even the white above his head made a vomiting motion. Grinning, Xia Jie hugged his fist at Lu Hui and smiled bitterly: "King, the minister thinks that Captain Hei Xuan and Captain Xuan Biao are the best candidates. ”

Xiang Liuhui suddenly interjected, and he laughed and said: "The words of Mengtianhou are bad, the relationship between Xingtian Gale, Xingtian Xuanxuan Leech and Mengtianhou is known to everyone in the court." But ......."

Xia Jie smiled faintly and said lazily: "However, the one who controls Jianmu now belongs to the Li Wu Palace." Except for the eldest brother of Xingtian, I am afraid that no one can greet the many great witches in the Li Wu Palace. ”

Xiang Liuhui was dumbfounded, and Feng Feng and Shen Gongli looked at Xia Jie with great disgust, how did this barbarian suddenly become so treacherous and hateful? With them as the ministers of supervision, at least the great witches of the Li Wu Hall will not deliberately delay the progress?"

He waited for the people of the Xingtian family to take the initiative to ask for the position of the minister of supervision, otherwise how could he divide the relationship between the Xingtian family and many other Wu families? In the past, Xia Jie, a friend of the Xingtian family, took the important position of the minister of supervision, and that's it, the other heads of the Wu family could still bear it. But now that the direct family members of your Xingtian family have become the ministers of supervision, can other Wu families allow your Xingtian family to live happily for a few years?

Lu Qi immediately patted the wrench and said: "Wonderful, it is Xingtian Dafeng who is the minister of supervision, and Xingtian Xuanxuan Leech is the deputy minister of supervision." Well, Gongtian Hou Andorra and Shuntian Hou Thor are the left and right orders, and they are responsible for providing all kinds of equipment to assist in the progress of the project. That's it. ”

Xia Jie's ears twitched, how could Andor and Thor be able to provide those construction machinery again? It seemed that as soon as he left the construction site, they immediately jumped out, what are these two boys going to do?

Xing Tian'e rushed out of the train excitedly, and thanked him: "The king is the most wise. Hahahaha, although the king can rest assured, there are strong winds and leeches, and the progress of Zhentian Tower will definitely ......"

"Huh?" Lu Hui and Xiang Liuhui and the others glared at Xing Tian'e at the same time. The name of 'Zhentian Tower', there are still many courtiers in the court who don't know the mystery in it. Xing Tian'e just smiled, and didn't care at all. His eyes were prismatic, and he glared at Xiang Liuhui and the others viciously, and the powerful power forced Xiang Liuhui and the others to turn their heads and not dare to look at him.

Seeing Xing Tian'e acting so strongly, he was even more angry in his heart. He blinked his eyes, and suddenly smiled and asked, "Since Meng Tianhou has resigned from the position of the superintendent of the minister. Then, I don't know if you have the leisure time to contribute to Da Xia?" looked at Xia Jie with a smile, his eyes were like windmills, and everyone present knew that he wanted to calculate Xia Jie, but what was there to calculate? Why did he calculate Xia Jie?

Xia Jie opened his mouth, well, it seems that after he resigned from the post of superintendent, he really didn't have much to do. To manage the territory of the thirty-six states in the sea area? Now that the states have long lost their military and political power, it is impossible to go to the tax collector of Great Xia under the false name of Daxia? Go back to that piece of land to manage their own forces? Uh, it seems that last time the Tongtian Dao people brought Shang Tang to borrow land for themselves, and they lent Shang Tang all the clan land within a radius of more than 20,000 miles left to him by the Xingtian family, but he didn't have a single acre of land in his hands......

Thinking about it, Xia Jie really couldn't find anything to do for a while. He couldn't just lead the barbarian army under his command to attack Dongyi? Five million barbarian troops were not enough for the Dongyi people to swallow in one bite.

Just thinking about it here, Lu Qi had already clapped his hands and smiled: "Wonderful, since there is nothing to do in the fierce weather, then, let's contribute to my Great Xia." In the future, the rebellious party on the four sides of my Great Xia will all depend on you Xia Jie. Lu Qi said with a smile: "If there is such a rebellion as Northwest Hou, it will be up to the fierce weather to lead the army to quell the rebellion." ”

Without waiting for Xia Jie to reject his royal order, Lu Ji had already jumped up and walked towards the inner palace. As he walked, he smiled and said, "That's it, the matter is settled, let's go and form a counterinsurgency army as soon as possible." If you want a military salary, the king will give it, if you want weapons and armor, the king will give it, and if you want powerful witchcraft weapons, the king will also give it. It's just that the people in this army can only rely on the fierce weather to wait for themselves. Great Xia has really lacked military strength recently!"

By the time Xia Jie came back to his senses, he had already run away without a shadow.

Xia Jie's heart was angry, okay, he had just gotten rid of the notoriety of 'Xia Papi' in the Governor's Mansion, and now he was going to be the executioner of the suppression of the rebellion.

Whether it is to be the minister of supervision, requisitioning materials and manpower from all over the world, or being the commander of the counterinsurgency army to quell the rebellion of all parties, this is a position that will be cursed by the common people in every way. Xia Jie's anger, there is no way to say it.

This is clearly chasing ducks on the shelves, in a word, it is not to let you Xia Jie stop.

Xia Jie crooked his mouth, lowered his head and pondered for a while, and suddenly sneered: "Okay, Lao Tzu, this duck, just jumped on the shelf." Asking for money for money, asking for things for things, that's what you said. ”
