Meng Xianghu didn't know where these people came from, but he could tell at a glance that these people were not ordinary people. They had a strong evil spirit on their bodies and had really killed people. They were also very strong in figure and were all rare good players.

Five people surrounded him in the middle, and it could be seen from the stand that they blocked all his retreat, and it was impossible to run away.

"What are you doing? Do you know who I am?" Meng Xianghu asked loudly: "Who are you? You dare to treat me like this in the prefect's office!"

At this time, Feng Kuan walked out of it, coughed gently and said, "Meng Qianhu, I'm sorry. I invited you here today because I wanted you to help you with something."

"Master, what's the matter with you? Just tell me. Can we not do it?" Meng Xianghu sneered on his face and said, "But what is this?"

"These people are not mine." Feng Kuan quickly waved his hand and said.

"Who are you?" Meng Xianghu asked angrily at the strong man holding a gun.

It seems that they are asking these people, but in fact they are asking Feng Kuan: Are you kidding? Don’t you know who these people are? This is your prefect’s office!

"Dong Zhong, the Jinyiwei North Town Fushi." Dong Zhong said slowly with a scimitar pressing on his waist.

Upon hearing this, Meng Xianghu took a breath, no wonder Feng Huan couldn't afford to offend him.

He quickly clasped his fists and said, "Meng Xianghu has seen the adults, but I wonder what his adults have to give?"

"Meng Xianghu, whose ancestral home is from Shandong, has hereditary Qianhu. Nine years ago, he bribed 5,000 taels of silver from the Wuxuan Department of the Ministry of Personnel at that time to make up for the shortage of Qianhu in Yancheng. He was eating, drinking, gambling, corruption, collusion with salt merchants, and smuggling salt. I'm right?" Dong Zhong said slowly.

Meng Xianghu was immediately frightened.

I have heard that the Jinyiwei is powerful, but I didn't expect that he could even find out what happened nine years ago.

"Sir, this..." Meng Xianghu said quickly.

Dong Zhong didn't care and said slowly: "According to your crime, you should be arrested and searched. You should also beheaded yourself, and there is nothing to discuss."

Meng Xianghu knelt on the ground with a pounce and hurriedly said, "Sir, I am willing to report it! I am willing to expose it! I am willing to commit crimes and make meritorious service!"

After glanced at Meng Xianghu, Dong Zhong said slowly: "You are a smart person, so I won't hide it anymore. I am the Jinyiwei and a martial artist. We should be considered a family. After your affairs are reported, you should have been sentenced to death. However, there is one thing you did well. You have not eaten much salary in this position for so many years, and you have not drunk much blood in the military, and you have not done anything to steal men and women."

"At most, you collude with salt merchants and embezzle their money. You are more domineering on weekdays, and you have never done anything to kill or rob a woman. Your wife in the Thirteenth House is all bought by yourself, which is a good thing."

Upon hearing this, Meng Xianghu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the cold sweat on his face fell like rain.

He was very grateful to his father, so these things were naturally not something he could think of, but were taught by his father since he was a child.

In his father's words, if you want to stand firm and stand upright, you must have your own code of conduct. As a general, you must be kind to your subordinates, which is your confidant. You don't know if you can have the chance to go to the battlefield in this life, but if you have the chance to go to the battlefield, your confidant is your life. If they cheat you, you may die there. So be good to them and don't drink blood when you have nothing to do; give them more money when you don't have enough money.

Don’t oppress the local people, and don’t do anything about killing and robbing people. Those civil servants are staring at you. If you do this, someone will definitely fight you. No one will care about it once or twice, but there will be someone to care about it. Those civil servants who want to gain reputation will never let you go. You must be low-key.

There is no problem making money, but you can't take all the money.

Meng Xianghu felt so happy when he remembered the things that his father taught him. This time he could save his life, thanks to his father, he would take two beauties to him when he returned.

We are also a filial son. We cannot just enjoy our own enjoyment. We must be filial to our father and let our father enjoy it well in his later years.

Seeing Meng Xianghu being a little lost, Dong Zhong snorted coldly and said, "Don't be too happy too early. There is a noble man who thinks you can save it, so he gave me some instructions. However, whether it can be successful this time depends on yourself."

"Don't worry, sir, as long as you give me instructions, I will have no problem whether I go to the mountain of swords or the sea of ​​fire." Meng Xianghu promised him loudly.

"Is that true?" Dong Zhong said: "Then let me explain your matter."

As soon as these words came out, Meng Xianghu hesitated a little.

Because he was scared.

If you ask yourself to confess your sins, the previous words may be fooling yourself. Once you confess your sins, they may regret it. After all, people are too sarcastic, so who can testify?

Dong Zhong looked at him hesitantly and snorted coldly, "Just judge a gentleman with a villain's heart! You just need to write down how those people do bad things, you don't need to write down your part."

"Thank you, sir!" Meng Xianghu was immediately overjoyed.

In fact, the further investigation of this case, the tighter everyone's hearts became. Everyone discovered the huge interest group hidden behind it.

First of all, the officials in the salt farm were basically corrupted from the lower-level clerks to the upper-level officials. The first thing every official did after taking office was to be corrupted.

If you are a lower-level official, then give the money; if you don’t, just get rid of it. Naturally, someone who is disobedient will reach out to work from above.

Middle and senior officials will find ways to use bribes to give money, gardens, and women as much as possible. These are basic. Even if you have something to do in your family, you will settle everything for you, publish books for you, and make you famous, and you will do whatever you are happy.

If it still cannot be corroded, then find a way to kill it. If you keep your mouth tight, then transfer it away and even get promoted. If it is not strict, then there is no way. There are also many officials who died in office every year in the Ming Dynasty.

In the end, the officials in the salt farm formed a huge interest group, a huge force composed of corrupt officials. As long as you get on this boat, you will be incredible, and it will be a word of death.
