The people in charge of the investigation arrived quickly, and the entire Jianyi was in a panic.
I thought everything would be settled. After all, I submitted the investigation materials through the official system, and I no longer had to rush around like I did before.
Daxia was able to establish itself for over 800 years. I don't believe it would become so decadent.
The county magistrate was arrested by the inspector and brought to justice smoothly without encountering any major obstacles.
I secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but I didn't relax completely. I still sent people to keep an eye on the Wang and Li families.
I haven't forgotten the lesson from before. Once someone comes to investigate, the Wang and Li families will urgently transfer grain from their respective granaries to fill the official war granaries to deal with the inspection.
But this time, I did not publicly announce the investigation materials in advance. There was simply not enough time in a short period of time, and the Wang and Li families had no time to transfer grain.
As long as the inspector takes a look at the granary, he will naturally be able to find relevant evidence.
By then, if the county magistrate confesses, everything will be solved.
The inspector was also quite decisive. After quietly arresting the county magistrate, he immediately went to the granary.
Then, the granary caught fire.
Daxia was indeed not hopelessly corrupt, but Jianyi had become corrupt to an unimaginable degree.
I can hardly imagine that such a shocking event could happen.
What shocked me even more was yet to come.
The magistrate of Jianyi County hanged himself in the prison of the county government office. The official report said that he committed suicide out of fear of punishment.
Jianyi stationed troops at the suggested location, and the ordnance officer also committed suicide by drinking poison shortly afterwards.
The inspector angrily investigated the relevant circumstances. Although the evidence was not completely destroyed, all the remaining evidence and account books pointed the blame to the county magistrate Han Qiong.
Well, all the sins are on a dead person, which makes sense.
Anyway, there was no way Han Qiong would stand up and speak.
Soon after, the investigation results came out.
Han Qiong, the magistrate of Jianyi County, deceived his superiors and subordinates, exploited the people, and engaged in corruption.
The money that the court used to build river embankments every year was embezzled, causing the embankments to fall into disrepair over the years.
Poor management of the grain warehouse led to a fire in the grain warehouse.
His son Han Lide oppressed the people, rode his horse in the street to injure people, colluded with local ruffians, and took pleasure in killing people in Moshan. He was sentenced to be executed in Caishikou in the autumn.
The report on the river embankment investigation was very detailed, including how the relevant responsible persons were instructed to handle the matter and how the embezzled money was used to build luxurious mansions.
As for the fact that County Magistrate Han Qiong had more than a dozen concubines, all these little things were recorded in it.
But there was no report on the true situation of the granary; everything was lost in the fire.
The flames were extremely fierce. It was secretly set by someone who had cultivated relevant flame energy and added special ignition materials.
The huge granary was burned to ashes, leaving only white ash on the ground.
I went to see it, it was white and quite clean.
The matter ended like this, the county magistrate died, and the quartermaster died.
Jianyi seemed to have changed, but it hadn't changed at all.
I received two small merits as rewards from above, which I exchanged for the first three levels of the "Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva".
My practice of the Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva went smoothly. When I was walking in Jianyi, I could often absorb inexplicable negative energy, which seemed to be the ghost in the legend.
To ordinary people, it may be a scary ghost, but to me who practices the Sutra of the Past Vows of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, it is a special elixir for practice.
After the county magistrate committed suicide in prison out of fear of punishment, all the negative energy that flowed into my body gradually transformed into a special kind of heat current, greatly accelerating the speed of clearing my meridians and washing my marrow.
I personally look at it in conjunction with the annotations of the ancient sages in the scriptures.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's great wish is to cleanse hell, eliminate the resentment of all wronged souls, and allow them to reincarnate.
I don’t know if reincarnation really exists in this world, but the resentment of many ghosts and spirits that were absorbed into my body seemed to have really disappeared.
Many wronged souls were satisfied to see the legendary "honest judge" die.
But I am not satisfied!
I know who the real culprit is. The county magistrate is one of them, and the Wang and Li families are also important figures.
There are also the Jianyi garrison that has besieged the Weiyuan Escort Agency many times. These people are all involved in this incident.
The result was that only the county magistrate died, and the ecology of Jianyi would not change much.
In previous attempts, Jianyi had changed its county magistrate, but Jianyi was still the original Jianyi, and the situation of the charcoal seller would not change.
The living conditions of more characters will not change.
The charcoal seller is satisfied, but I am not!
But before I could express my dissatisfaction, the Wang and Li families took revenge.
I was attacked in the dark of night, and three people who had undergone marrow cleansing and blood transfusion joined forces to besiege me.
For me, who hadn't even completed the first marrow cleansing and blood transfusion, this was a dead end.
Well, they died.
I never realized that standing behind Jinyiwei General Xue Cheng would be so comfortable.
This Jinyiwei general flag, a seventh-rank official, had powerful swordsmanship. With just two strikes, he killed all three people who had undergone marrow cleansing and blood transfusion.
Their identities were not difficult to distinguish, and Xue Cheng could easily tell them apart.
All three were well-known criminals in the underworld. They had been wanted by various places, but they had never been brought to justice.
With a little analysis, I can guess that these are probably killers sent by the Wang and Li families.
But I am a secret guard of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, and my identity will not be exposed normally.
The corresponding investigation materials were also submitted through Xue Cheng, the general flag of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
