The next day, Zhou Zheng got on the carriage, sat in the carriage, and looked at the confessions in his hand.

These are the explanations of the villagers, some paradoxical aspects about the bandits siege yesterday and the Yongping Mansion.

This confession tells a lot, but the description of this matter is a bit strange.

In the confessions of the three of them, some believed that the senior officials of Yongping Prefecture supported them behind their backs, some said that there were big families colluding with bandits, and some said that people from Shanhaiwei were pretending to be bandits.

These confessions were a bit messy, Zhou Zheng slowly watched, looking for clues from it.

Zhou Zheng came and left in a hurry, but it was very different for Shouchang Town.

Many people stood on both sides of the road, without saying a word, but looked very reluctant.

Wang Zhengbai looked at Zhou Zheng's carriage, turned to Wang Baihe, and said, "Uncle San, did the inspector leave like this?"

He repelled the bandits and had no explanation at all, so he left like this?

Wang Baihe held his hands behind his back, with a serious expression and no words.

For some reason, he was very uneasy. This anxiety was not because of fear of bandits, but because of this patrolman.

The inspector easily repelled the bandits last night, but now he left without saying a word, which made him feel like the storm was coming.

When Zhou Zheng arrived in Lulong County (the location of the prefect of Yongping Prefecture), it was already dark that night.

When Zhou Zheng got off the carriage, Yao Tongshun came out of it with an ugly expression and said with a gloomy expression: "Sir, no one can greet you, and no one can wait."

Zhou Zheng looked at the plaque of "Yongping Mansion" that was almost dropped on the door and said, "Is there anyone else in the government office?"

Yao Tongshun's face became increasingly unfair and said, "The magistrate was vacant for more than half a year, but it was abandoned for half a year. No one was overgrown with weeds and dust."

Zhou Zheng listened and turned around at the government office to look at the empty house. Seeing that there was no one, he laughed and said, "That's right, you can find someone to clean up, buy some bedding, and order dinner from the restaurant."

Seeing that Zhou Zheng was still laughing, Yao Tongshun walked closer and whispered: "Sir, the water in Yongping Mansion is quite shallow. It is obvious that someone embarrasses the adults!"

Logically speaking, if an imperial envoy arrived at the local area, local officials should have gathered to greet him, but Yongping Mansion seemed to have no idea at all. No one appeared. The huge prefect's office was abandoned for half a year and no one cared about it!

Zhou Zhengmai stepped in and said with a smile: "Who is embarrassed to say too early? Do things."

The group of people looked very good. Zhou Zheng, who is so old, is so ignorant, and he is so presumptuous!

Everyone was angry and followed Zhou Zheng into the prefect's office.

Yao Tongshun assigned his job and arranged for someone to go out and hire someone, and at the same time inquire about the specific information.

It was getting dark and Yongping Mansion was quiet, especially near the prefect's office, which was even more quiet and terrible, without even a trace of light.

Zhou sat down in a study room that had been cleaned up, standing in front of him, Ding Qi, Shangguan Qing, and a secret guard.

Ding Qi seemed to have received Zhou Zheng's encouragement, and gradually spoke more and looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "Sir, Yongping Mansion is too much, and it needs to be rigorously purged."

Zhou Zheng looked at him and said, "How do you think it should be sanctioned?"

Ding Qi was speechless immediately. He naturally knew the word "reorganization", but how should he rectify it?

Not to mention the prefect, even Zhou Zheng, the inspector, had no right to remove the positions of Yongping Prefecture Chief and the three magistrates. At most, they would write letters to impeach and ask the court to dismiss the court.

If you really want to do this, it won’t be possible. What would the court think if Zhou Zheng impeached local officials just after he took office? Do you think Zhou Zheng is incompetent and unable to use it?

These prefectures and magistrates don’t come one by one, obviously they are in a group. Zhou Zheng is just here and the strong dragon will not suppress the local snake. What can we do?

Seeing that Ding Qi was not speaking, Shangguan Lie immediately said ruthlessly: "Sir, it's easy to deal with! Catch one, ask for a crime directly, and be imprisoned. I think if the others dare not be disobedient!"

Ding Qi immediately shook her head and said, "You can't catch it! If they are opposed to the book, it will be even more difficult for adults to do it."

Shangguan Lie ignored it and said, "Sir, we can't catch it openly, so we will catch it secretly. Anyway, there are bandits everywhere here, and suddenly one or two people are missing, so they can't blame him for not being on the head."

Ding Qi looked at Shangguan Lie and couldn't speak for a moment, so she turned to look at Zhou Zheng.

Even Shangguan Qing blinked and turned to Zhou Zheng.

They all seem to think that this is a solution.

Zhou Zheng shook his head gently and said, "We are the government, not the bandits. We will not make this decision unless we have to. Tomorrow, you can clean up the government office, clean up the sixth house, and then promote the matter that the court granted me 100,000 taels of silver."

Ding Qi reacted the fastest and said, "It's still a wise man! One hundred thousand taels, they will definitely not be able to hide it anymore!"

Shangguan Lie reacted a little slowly and did not understand what to do in promoting the "100,000 taels". Didn't he say "the wealth is not exposed"?

Shangguan Qing suddenly said, "Be careful at night."

Zhou Zhengsu nodded and looked at Ding Qi and said, "You can buy food and other things with someone yourself. Be careful of water and other things, so you can't poison people."

Seeing Zhou Zheng entrusted his important tasks, Ding Qi's face turned red a little excited and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, I'll check every dish and every bit of water clearly, and I will never give them an opportunity to take advantage of it!"

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "Go all."

Several people responded and turned around and left Zhou Zheng's study.

Zhou Zheng saw them leaving, took out the three confessions and his eyes fell on a person's name: Zhang Yonglian.

The Zuofu Cheng of Yongping Prefecture, who is in his fifties, has been in this position, to be precise, as the Zuofu Cheng of Yongping Prefecture, for nearly twenty years.

The county magistrates of the three counties in Yongping Prefecture were either his students or his in-laws. When the prefect was vacant, Yongping Prefecture was simply his family.

Yongping Mansion was quiet all night without any twists and turns.

The next morning, Zhou Zheng got up, squatted in the yard, brushing his teeth with a simple toothbrush, and watching the cleaning servants in the yard.

Shangguan Lie looked at Zhou Zheng brushing his teeth and stared at him with a strange look on his face: "Sir, is your toothbrush a little strange?"

Toothbrushes were found in the Yuan Dynasty, but brushing teeth was not very common. Shangguan Lie knew that the toothbrush in Zhou Zheng's hand was still a bit strange, it seemed to have hair and some white things on it.

Zhou Zheng rinsed a few sips, wiped his mouth, and said, "Has the news spread out?"

Shangguan Lie still stared at Zhou Zheng's toothbrush and said, "It's spread out."

Zhou Zheng stood up and said, "Then another notice is posted, requiring all the current officials in the prefectural office to report their duties to the official immediately. Those who have not arrived at noon will be dismissed."

Zhou Zheng was in charge of the prefecture, and the magistrates of each county were indeed unable to be directly removed from office, but the officials of the prefecture office, such as the Liufang, the Futang, the Xufusi, the Zhaomosi, the Sijusi, etc., were decided in one sentence. You only need to inform the court of filing, and there is no need for the imperial court to appoint it.

Shangguan Lie felt relieved when he heard this and said, "What the sir is saying is, I'll order someone to post it now."
