The atmosphere in the government office in the new day is still solemn, only half a day. The impact brought by yesterday's incident on officials naturally did not dissipate so easily. Many people are still worried whether they will be implicated. After all, in the yamen, no one's butt is clean.

So when the prefect passed the message again and asked everyone to gather in the lobby, everyone's heart was shocked, and they guessed who he was going to attack again. And because yesterday's momentum was ahead, Wei Liang didn't have to ring the gong again this time, so the whole yamen could accept the order and appear in the lobby on time.

When he then stepped into the hall and glanced at the gaze of his subordinates randomly, many people lowered their heads in awe and did not dare to have contact with his eyes. Only the magistrate Li Youzhen looked up at this time, and even had a bit of provocation in his eyes.

He had already guessed that he would have to take action against him next. Wei Liang made a quick judgment, but his steps did not stop. After quickly coming to the long case, he sat down and spoke slowly: "My colleagues, I believe you all have their own ideas after going back yesterday. I am the same with this official, and I have a lot of feelings.

"I really didn't expect that Yang Wanquan, who was regarded as a good assistant by me and entrusted by the court, was such a greedy and lawless person. This is really a shame for my Songjiang Prefecture Office. But at the same time, I also understood a profound truth from this matter, that is, the strengths and weaknesses of a person are not about how he looks on the surface, but about what he did behind his back. Punishment Li Tong, do you think what I said is right?"

"What the prefect said is that the lower officials think so. Some people seem to be hypocritical and always call themselves a gentleman and a pillar of the court, but in fact, it is hard to say what they think and do secretly." Facing the prefect Wei's name and question, Li Youzhen was not afraid at all, and even replied with a deep meaning. As for who the person he was talking about, you can think about it yourself.

Wei Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled faintly: "Yes, so you have to listen to your words and actions to see someone. But more importantly, you must understand what he has done behind his back and how many shameful property he has hidden in his home. But I wonder how much property is there in your mansion, Punisher Li Tong?"

This is already very clear. Obviously, today we have to use the same trick again and take action against Judge Li Tong. Everyone in the hall who came over was shocked and all of them looked flustered. The prefect wanted to take Judge Li Tong down again. Then, can others be saved?

Li Youzhen, who should be most panicked, then looked calm and nodded with a smile: "What the lord said is that this is indeed the most convenient way to exclude dissidents. However, some things cannot be repeated. If you use them too much, they will only cause disaster to yourself. No, it should be said that such things are impossible to do, and that will only make people feel uneasy and then do some unscrupulous things."

"What do you mean?" Wei Liang's heart tightened and stared at the other party and asked.

"The lower officials are just saying a truth. The adults are still young and have only been in the officialdom for a few years. I believe they are still unfamiliar with the current situation of officials in various places in Dayue. As a subordinate, the lower officials should remind you to prevent you from making a big mistake without knowing it."

After pausing, Li Youzhen's eyes quickly swept across the many officials in the hall. After seeing them again, they were shocked and laughed: "If there is only one person in a yamen, he should die naturally; but if it is the opposite, he is the only one who is honest and has nothing to do, and everyone else has made mistakes? Should this person also die? Tell me, is this the truth?"

The many officials and servants inside and outside the hall were all embarrassed at this time. Although they did not really agree with him, the answer was clear only by looking at their expressions.

Wei Liang's face sank: "Do you want to compete with the public and compete with me?"

"No, the officials are not so brave. I said that they are just a fact. After all, I am just a second-ranking official in the government office. How dare I go against the prefect? ​​But do you really think that no one in Songjiang Prefecture can cure you?"

"Huh?" Wei Liang leaned forward slightly, "Who are you referring to?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a neat footsteps sounded from the outside, accompanied by an order: "Enclose me here!" It even alarmed everyone inside and outside the lobby. Everyone turned their heads and looked out. They saw an army with complete armor and bows and swords in their hands spread out quickly, and completely surrounded the large area of ​​the lobby according to the formation. At the same time, people continued to emerge from the walls over there, all of them were archers, and they took a bow and arrow, making up for all possible loopholes and blind spots.

This time, many officials inside and outside the hall were all turtles in the jar and fish in the net. Looking at the weapons that shined in the sun, everyone showed panic. Some officials even shouted: "You... who are you? How dare you trespass the government office? Is this going to rebel?"

Even Wei Liang, his body was also stiff at this moment, staring at the movement outside. After a while, he slowly moved back to the only calm and composed judge Li Tong. His voice suddenly became cold: "Li Youzhen, did you recruit these military horses? Are you going to rebel?"

Seeing that the overall situation was settled, Li Youzhen looked relaxed and grinned, smiling quite flamboyantly: "It's so ugly that sir. What does rebellion mean? They are the official troops of Songjiang Prefecture. Isn't it natural to enter the city to quell the chaos? As for why they came, I have to ask Master Tai, you, yourself."

Just when Wei Liang was asked by his words, his face turned pale and he was speechless, a burly and tall general, with a majestic figure, strode. He was wearing a full set of armor and a long sword hanging around his waist. Every step he took, there would be friction between the armor leaves and make a clanging sound, making him show a more astonishing momentum, just like a tiger going down the mountain to find food. Now the many officials in the hall are a bunch of delicacies in front of him.

"Liao Qinghui, Liao Dutong..." Wei Liang spoke again and called out his identity as the visitor. He had been in office for two or three months, and had met and talked several times with the head of Songjiang military officer, so he naturally recognized him.

"Hello, how about the magistrate Wei?" Liao Qinghui walked into the lobby step by step and soon stood beside Li Youzhen, facing the magistrate two meters away. His eyes were like a knife, and he had a gaze with Wei Liang without any allowance. He continued, "I heard that the magistrate had made an innocent act of wronging and was here to persuade the magistrate to stop as soon as possible. Lord Yang Tongzhi has been working diligently in Songjiang for many years and has done many good things. Everyone sees it. How could he violate the law and be imprisoned in prison?"

Wei Liang's body trembled slightly, but not because of fear, but because of anger. He really didn't expect these guys to be so lawless. He just took someone yesterday and dared to play military advice with him today.

I thought that the people in the border areas like the southwest were fierce and unwilling to be transformed by the king, so there would be thieves who relied on their troops to commit crimes. I didn’t expect that such a wealthy place as Jiangnan would be the same.

However, he also understood that anger and accusations were useless at this time, and only calm response was the key, so he forced his anger to confront him: "So, are you trying to use the outside troops to force me to release the person and admit that he is innocent?"

"It would be great if you really can do this. Haven't you scholars always said that knowing your mistakes can improve your mistakes?"

"What's wrong with me? Yang Wanquan and Yang Tianyou have embezzled public funds and exploited the people for many years. I have found a large amount of money and land deeds from their homes. Can't I commit them to their crimes? And you, Liao Qinghui, suddenly came to the capital city to force you, which is enough to show that you are the same as them, and you must have gained many benefits from it. Now you dare to talk about what you can correct your mistakes in front of me. It's really a big deal of the world, and you're inverting black and white. Do you really think that I'll be afraid of you?"

Wei Liang, who was originally thinking about how to stabilize the opponent's Xu Tu's countermeasure, suddenly broke out because of the other party's words and directly responded. This time, the prefect Wei was really amazing. When he raised his eyes and his hands, his powerful aura had been suppressed, which shocked Liao Qinghui's heart and his steps shrank slightly.

Then he reacted again and hummed, "What's the use of saying these high-sounding words? An official who had just arrived in Songjiang and knew nothing about it really thought that what he did was right? But he didn't know that if he really did what you said, Songjiang would inevitably be in chaos in a few months, and then you would be the real sinner.

"I don't have the intention to rush with you here, just ask you the last sentence, "Will you let go of the person? Do you want to hand over the right? If you don't want to agree, I will help you!"

Seeing Liao Dutong's righteous look, Wei Liang almost got angry. It was said that the scholar was unreasonable when he met a soldier. Today he had learned the taste of it. This guy had his own set of fallacies and used it to refute his own truth. It was really outrageous!

Of course, more importantly, the other party holds military power and does have the ability to make everything happen according to his wishes.

At this moment, Wei Liang finally understood why all the Songjiang prefects before him were undermined. It’s because they were not good enough, but because they were really too strong in the enemy. Even if they did this, they would have to bow their heads as long as they shine this trump card.
