In Ling County, with Guo Chengyou suddenly being captured, all the imperial guards defected and the situation suddenly became completely different.

In the county government office, Jiang Dalang, Huang Sanlang and others acted arrogantly and scolded many officials.

The officials smiled reluctantly and did not dare to take any action.

joke.

Their immediate superior, County Magistrate Shi, was arrested, and their immediate superior's immediate superior, Magistrate Guo, was also arrested.

No matter how great the dissatisfaction was, it had disappeared now that Zhao Jun had revealed his identity.

Jiang Dalang and others ordered the people in the yamen to issue notices, asking the people of Peng County to actively expose the evidence of the Wang family's crimes and reveal them one by one.

In just one morning, a large number of people came to the county government office to report the case, but there was no official in the government office responsible for handling the matter.

Soon after Zhao Jun cleared away all the obstacles, the efficiency of the government suddenly increased.

The truth of what the Wang family did was revealed. It was not just about drowning Fang Caixia and her daughter's bones. They also occupied the people's farmland, oppressed the local people, abducted women, and occupied land deeds.

If tenants didn't pay rent, they were forced to sell their children. The Wang family was known for their tyranny and robbing people without paying. Their despicable deeds were so numerous that even the county clerks couldn't list them all.

It turns out that the people of Ling County dared to be angry but dared not speak out.

Now that Zhao Jun has arrived, even County Magistrate Shi, who merely accepted bribes from the Wang family and was not deeply involved in the Wang family's affairs, has been dismissed, let alone others.

So they all came immediately, fearing that they would be too late to sue the Wang family and get back their stolen land, daughters, etc.

The whole morning, Ling County was bustling with activity.

Zhao Jun did not stay in the county, but returned to the boat. He gave orders for what needed to be done and then ordered his men to go to Qiao County, the capital of Bozhou.

Then I slept on the boat.

I had a good sleep.

After getting up, we arrived in Qiao County.

Zhao Jun got off the boat.

It was already afternoon, and the large ship was docked at the Woshui Wharf in Qiao County.

The canal was open to navigation at noon. Zhao Jun returned to the boat and took a nap, while the army took the group of people by land and went directly to Qiao County.

By the time Zhao Jun had enough sleep, the boat had already entered the Wo Shui River along the canal and arrived at the Qiao County wharf.

But Zhao Jun was still sleeping, so the guards did not disturb him. They stayed at the dock and waited for him to wake up naturally.

At this moment, the soldiers were raiding the Bozhou government office, and all the officials in Bozhou were waiting outside the dock in fear.

More than twenty or thirty officials, including the Tongpan of Bozhou, the signing judge, the judge, the prosecutor, the secretary, the registrar, the manager, the judicial officer, the household officer, the militia commander, as well as the magistrate, the chief clerk, the county lieutenant, and so on, were waiting outside.

As soon as Zhao Jun arrived in Bozhou, he arrested their immediate superior, Guo Chengyou. Moreover, Guo Chengyou had a powerful background, was born in the Eastern Palace, and had been with Zhao Zhen since childhood. If he arrested someone like him, what about them?

So everyone here was very cautious. Even though Zhao Jun was fast asleep on the boat, and even though they had been waiting here for more than an hour, no one dared to complain.

Seeing Zhao Jun finally disembark, they hurried over and bowed, saying, "Your subordinates pay their respects to the Magistrate."

"Um."

Zhao Jun nodded, then ignored them and said, "Lead the way to Bozhou Prefecture."

"yes."

The second-in-command of Bozhou, the Tongpan, hurriedly led the way.

There were more than a hundred Imperial City Guards on Zhao Jun's boat. Under their protection, the group went straight into the city.

The people in the city were watching this large army from afar, and the city gates were crowded with people inside and outside.

The people were talking about it.

"Look, it's Zhiyuan getting off the boat."

"I've heard that the Magistrate is known as the Honourable Judge in Kaifeng Prefecture for his ruthless tactics. It's true."

"That corrupt official, Magistrate Guo, should have been arrested long ago."

"Yes, Guo's arrogance and domineering behavior deserves his punishment. Now that the prefect is here, he deserves this fate."

The people of Bozhou had suffered from the harm caused by Guo Chengyou for a long time. When they learned that Guo Chengyou had been arrested, they were very happy and rushed to tell each other and spread the news.

With the arrival of Zhao Zhiyuan, there is justice.

Zhao Jun and his group went straight to the Bozhou government office.

At this moment, the Bozhou government office was quite lively, and the soldiers were exhausted. They had not slept all night last night, but they still performed their duties conscientiously. They confiscated the houses of those who needed them and guarded Zhao Jun, and did not dare to slack off in the slightest.

But people are not made of iron, especially after the two families were raided. The Wang family had a lot of stuff, and it took an entire night to move it all onto the boat. The remaining stuff was left with people in Ling County to watch over.

Compared with the Wang family, Guo Chengyou is no less wealthy. There are countless boxes of all kinds of stolen money and treasures piled up in his mansion.

When Zhao Jun arrived, Huang Sanlang, who was in charge of the confiscation, stepped forward to report, "Reporting to the Magistrate, we have searched the Bozhou government office and seized nine boxes of stolen goods. We haven't yet calculated the amount of stolen money, but the gold and silver alone are worth 70,000 to 80,000 strings of cash, as well as other valuable calligraphy and paintings, antiques, and treasures."

"alright."

Zhao Jun nodded, glanced around, and after seeing the exhausted Imperial Guards, he said thoughtfully, "Seal up all the stolen goods and put them in the government office. When the time comes, we'll count them together with the Wang family's stolen goods, send them back to Bianliang, and hand them over to the national treasury. However, we'll seize 20,000 strings of cash, and every soldier in the battalion will be rewarded with 10 strings!"

"yes."

Huang Sanlang and the surrounding imperial guards who heard this were overjoyed.

Originally, they thought that following Zhao Jun out would be a tough job. Not only did they have to travel a lot, but they also had to walk overland all the way, which would make the men and horses tired and unable to get any rest.
