【Qingxi County Magistrate Chang Ming.】
Chang Ming, who was named, slowly lowered his head, and the eyes of the civil and military officials fell on him inconspicuously.
Emperor Yuan suspected that he had heard it wrong. Xie Xu's eyes looked as if he wanted to kill someone!
Chang'an County and Qingxi County are two large counties near the capital, under the administration of Jingzhao Yin Xie Xu.
These two counties are different from other counties. There are no official positions such as governor and military governor above the county magistrates.
The magistrates of the two counties were also the only two in Daxia who were invited by Emperor Yuan to attend court and listen to government affairs. They were of the sixth rank.
Jiang Yueyang was very shocked. Even though she was ignorant, she knew that County Magistrate Chang was promoted by Xie Xu.
In the eyes of outsiders, Xie Xu and Chang Ming are master and apprentice.
Xie Xu is only loyal to His Majesty. Now that Chang Ming has become a corrupt official, it is hard not to doubt Xie Xu's loyalty to Daxia and His Majesty.
The system asked: [Host, is this a little unexpected? ]
Jiang Yueyang nodded and said "hmm", not just a little bit, but she absolutely did not expect it.
[Actually, I didn’t expect that, so I didn’t pay much attention to him before. ]
Everyone: We didn’t expect that either!
Jiang Yueyang urged: [Tell me what happened in detail? ]
[Strictly speaking, the real corrupt official was not Mr. Chang, but his brother-in-law, the magistrate of Yunshan County. He did not participate in it, which was considered as knowing the truth but not reporting it.
Half a year ago, when the magistrate of Yunshan County went to the countryside to encourage people to cultivate agriculture and sericulture, his followers accidentally discovered a gold mine in a cave.
【Gold mine! How many gold mines are there? 】
Jiang Yueyang's eyes were rolling with money symbols, and her open mouth seemed like she was about to drool in the next second.
The system smiled maliciously: [No matter how much you have, it doesn’t belong to the host, unless you want to be a corrupt official.]
Jiang Yueyang was instantly awakened from her daydream, and in a trance she seemed to see golden wings flying away from her eyes.
Then, she said something shocking: [Xiaogua, do you think I have the potential to be a corrupt official? ]
Civil and military officials: No!
Minister Jiang: Haha...the head on my head is starting to shake again.
Emperor Yuan glanced at her with disdain. With your inner thoughts that even a solid wall can't hide, you still want to be a corrupt official?
You only have the potential to piss people off to death!
The system said tactfully: [Host, we should have some self-awareness. ]
Jiang Yueyang snorted, "Can't you let me dream for a moment? A beautiful dream of lying in a pile of gold."
In her previous life, she dreamed every day of living in a house made of Mao Zedong's banknotes.
When the boss tells you to get out if you don't want to work here anymore, pick up a brick and beat him to death!
Then he said in a cool manner: I quit!
Jiang Yueyang was dreaming about a beautiful dream, but the system gave her a sentence, [Then, the host woke up the next day and found himself moving bricks under the scorching sun on a construction site? ]
Jiang Yueyang: [……]
The beautiful dream shattered into slag like glass...
Phew!
Emperor Yuan was not in the mood to laugh at first, but he couldn't help it when he thought of the scene of Jiang Yueyang moving bricks at the construction site with a dusty face.
Not to mention the others, they were already laughing in their hearts at this moment.
Jiang Yueyang pulled the corner of his mouth, [Little melon, your skin is itchy again? ]
[No, no.]
[Why are you talking so much nonsense? Why don’t you continue talking! ]
The system made two "oh" sounds, and the servant informed the Yunshan County Magistrate of the matter. After discussion, the two decided to keep the matter secret and mine gold on their own.
In order to prevent the secret of the gold mine from leaking out, the magistrate of Yunshan County arrested all the villagers in that village.
The young and strong men went into the caves to mine for gold, while the elderly, the weak, women and children were temporarily kept in their care.
During this period, Chang brought his wife and children to visit his brother-in-law, the magistrate of Yunshan County. Then, he discovered the gold mine.
When the magistrate of Yunshan County saw that Lord Chang was going to report him, he immediately arrested Lord Chang's wife and children to threaten him.
He also threatened that if he dared to report it, the villagers in the mine and his wife and children would all die.
Lord Chang compromised for the sake of those people's lives.
But he didn't know that a month ago, all the people who went into the cave to mine for gold died of overwork because they mined day and night.
The magistrate of Yunshan County knew that only the dead could keep secrets forever, so he buried all the living villagers alive. Even the children who could not speak were not spared.
The people who were cheerful just now fell silent in an instant, and the whole hall was as silent as death.
Chang Ming suddenly raised his head. They were all... all dead?
After hearing this, Jiang Yueyang was so angry that her voice was shaking, [How dare he bury the whole village alive! ]
[People die for money, birds die for food, there is nothing we dare not do. 】
Jiang Yueyang glared at Chang Ming fiercely, [Idiot!]
Chang Ming lowered his head and shed tears. He didn't know, he really didn't know that there was a massacre in the village.
The sword in Xie Xu's hand clanged, as if it would break free from the scabbard and fly out in the next second.
Emperor Yuan gave General Zhenguo a wink, and General Zhenguo understood and walked to Xie Xu and grabbed his arm.
He whispered to Xie Xu, "Calm down."
Over there, the system continued: [After all the villagers died, he arranged for his own people to enter the village disguised as villagers, and let the prisoners in the jail enter the mine to mine.
As of half a month ago, the gold mine was completely mined. All the prisoners who survived were buried in the mine.
After hearing this, Jiang Yueyang fell silent.
Seeing that everyone looked lifeless, Emperor Yuan coughed violently a few times.
Zuo Xiang and others came back to their senses and continued to pretend to discuss things.
Those who need to be reported should be reported, and those who need to be impeached should be impeached.
When Jiang Yueyang came back to his senses, they were discussing the autumn hunt three days later.
[Autumn hunting? Didn't Your Majesty reject this proposal last time? Why are you bringing it up again today? ]
System: [Changed my mind. 】
[Your Majesty is really moody. No, three days from now is a holiday! How can Your Majesty occupy our holiday! ]
Emperor Yuan: “…”
Civil and Military Officials: Your focus is always surprising.
[Host, I just heard the emperor say that he will have three days of autumn hunting, so you don't have to go to work for two days.]
[Even if that's the case, you can't take up my rest time. ]
The system suddenly remembered something, [Host, it seems that your day off was deducted by the emperor. ]
Jiang Yueyang: [……]
