In the Qin Imperial Palace, Ying Zheng and Chu Yuening reviewed the results of these days.
In the hall, the Jinyiwei were dressed in Feiyu uniforms and embroidered spring swords on their waists, looking heroic and majestic.
The commander of the Black Ice Guard, who was temporarily serving as an instructor, had a blank expression on his face, but he was envious to the point of crying in his heart.
Why do the Black Ice Guards wear ordinary black clothes, while the Brocade Guards wear gorgeous brocade robes?
"I established the Jinyiwei to punish corrupt officials throughout the world."
"Now that you have pursued him, you must remember your responsibilities and not slack off in the future."
"Power and wealth, I can give them and I can take them away."
Ying Zheng's phoenix eyes swept across the young faces with a cold gaze, revealing the emperor's aura and majesty.
"Yes! We are loyal to Your Majesty and will fulfill our duties!"
The Jinyiweis all had solemn expressions and firm tones, without any sign of wavering.
"good!"
Ying Zheng nodded with satisfaction and asked Zhao Gaoduan to bring another tray.
On it were placed golden tokens with the four large characters "The First Emperor was present in person" engraved on them.
The noble and majestic emperor personally distributed the golden tokens to each Jinyiwei.
"Hold this token and come as if I were here in person. Anyone who tries to stop me will be killed without mercy!"
"I will obey your majesty's order!"
The Jinyiwei were all excited to be appreciated and valued by His Majesty, and a sense of responsibility and justice arose in their hearts.
I wish I could chop off a few corrupt officials’ heads right away and live up to Your Majesty’s high expectations.
"Let's start with Handan County."
"Yes! We obey your orders."
After receiving the order, the Jinyiwei retreated respectfully.
Ying Zheng turned his gaze to the leader of the Black Ice Guard and spoke in a gentle voice.
"The Black Ice Guards have made great contributions to the Great Qin. I will never forget them."
"You are my trusted confidants, and I still need your cooperation and supervision in the affairs of the Jinyiwei."
Just two sentences instantly dissipated the imbalance in the Black Ice Guard leader's heart.
As expected, His Majesty still trusts us Black Ice Guards the most!
They must perform well and surpass those pretty boys, huh.
"I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust!"
After the palace returned to calm, Chu Yuening looked at Ying Zheng with a smile.
"A Zheng's ability to control his subordinates is truly amazing."
"A mere trick, not as good as my first counselor."
With the patrol and arrest of the Jinyiwei, the first shot of the Qin Dynasty's anti-corruption campaign was fired.
Inside the Handan County government office.
The county magistrate, who had just been released from prison yesterday, looked at the token that read "The First Emperor is here in person" with trepidation.
"I wonder what the lords are doing?"
"Your Majesty has ordered us to arrest corrupt officials. This is the list from Handan County."
The Jinyiwei coldly threw a piece of paper at the county magistrate.
The county magistrate took it with trembling hands, and the dense crowd of names made his eyes go dark.
Even if he has never engaged in corruption or bribery, he cannot escape the blame for failing to manage his subordinates and failing to supervise them properly because he has a group of subordinates who hold him back.
The county magistrate gave a wry smile.
You old fellow, County Magistrate, just die. You have implicated me.
"My Lords, I will order the arrest of the criminal immediately."
"No need. We have already apprehended the criminal. Please, sir, take him to the jail and execute him at noon tomorrow."
The Jinyiwei waved their hands, and officials, tied up like dumplings, were thrown in one after another.
On the second day, the people in the city and the nearby villagers came to watch the execution.
Those terrified faces were completely different from their previous arrogant and domineering appearance that relied on their official status.
The people, who had been extorted of money and food, bullied and beaten, finally released the evil in their hearts when they saw the miserable appearance of the culprits.
Even though the prisoners cried bitterly, repented and begged for mercy, the knife still fell on their heads.
The people cheered and cried with joy.
The mountain that once crushed them was finally crushed into powder.
The village chief in the crowd also smiled after many days. They no longer had to live in fear every day.
"We, the Jinyiwei, have received your Majesty's special order to apprehend corrupt officials throughout the land."
"The people of the Great Qin will never be oppressed."
After the execution, the Jinyiwei held a golden token and announced in a deep voice, the four words "The First Emperor is here in person" sounded majestic and sacred in the sunlight.
As soon as the words fell, the crowd was silent for a second.
Then the voice of "Long live His Majesty!" resounded throughout Handan.
Xiaxiang County, Sishui County.
"Brother Yu, those petty officials who bullied us have been arrested by the Imperial Guards sent by His Majesty!"
"Yeah..."
"Brother Yu, isn't life getting better and better now? Why are you clinging to the past?"
"I don't know... maybe we are wrong..."
In a village in Luling County, Jiujiang County.
"Get out of here! If you stop me, I'll sell your daughter too!"
"Sir! Please leave us some food! How are we going to survive in the winter?"
"Go to hell!"
"Wife! Wife, are you okay?!"
In the room, the little girl trembled as she heard the terrible noise outside, holding half a sweet potato tightly in her hand.
Suddenly, there was a bang from the door, and a cold sound was heard.
"Jinyiwei is investigating a case. Lay down your weapons and surrender."
"What Jinyiwei? Do you know my father is...ah! Save...me..."
"Bang!"
It was the sound of heavy flesh hitting the muddy ground.
The kitchen was quiet.
After beheading the evil official, Guan Qinghong politely declined the farmer's gift of thanks.
Just as I was about to go to the next location with my colleagues, I suddenly felt a slight tug at the hem of my clothes.
Looking down, I saw a little girl with a dirty face holding half a sweet potato, her clear big eyes filled with gratitude.
"Good brother, eat!"
Seeing that Guan Qinghong didn't say anything, the little girl became anxious and stood on tiptoe to lift the sweet potato higher.
