Chapter 174: Lord Yueying
The governor Fa Zheng introduced the bureaucrats of Yizhou to Huang Yueying one by one. The officials were extremely respectful. In their eyes, the governor was no longer as simple as a boss. According to rumors from Chang'an, these officials who were very good at observing words and expressions have regarded this beautiful inspector as their future mistress! Naturally, they must be extremely respectful to the mistress!
After meeting the officials, Huang Yueying got on the carriage again. Fa Zheng led all the officials to support the carriage and entered Chengdu City. He walked along the main street of Chengdu to the governor's office. As the road was not closed, along the way, the curious people crowded on both sides of the street, stretched their necks and looked around, talking a lot. The men looked very excited, while the women all looked envious, and some were a bit handsome and looked very dissatisfied. They might think that if they could meet the general, they would definitely be so glorious.
The carriage stopped in front of the Governor's Office, and Huang Yueying walked off the carriage with the help of the female guards. Fa Zheng, Huang Quan, and Zhang Song came up to invite him. Huang Yueying walked into the gate under the escort of four female guards, and the officials followed closely according to the official ranks.
When he entered the lobby, Huang Yueying sat down at the top. Four female guards stood on the left and right with swords, showing a heroic look.
Fa Zheng led the bureaucrats to worship, and Huang Yueying represented Zhang Lang, which should be considered by Dali.
After the ceremony, the officials stood on the left and right sides according to their ranks. Fa Zheng stood at the left and right. Zhang Song stood at the second place, and Huang Quan stood at the right and Huang Quan had a special identity. He was both the prefect of Shu County and the other party in Yizhou.
Huang Yueying glanced at the officials and sang in her clear and moving voice: "I am here this time, one is to inspect the people's livelihood instead of the general, and the other is to inspect the local administration. I hope you can cooperate closely with me and not to let down the general's expectations."
The officials immediately clasped their fists and said, "We will help the adults complete their mission!"
Huang Yueying nodded and glanced at Fa Zheng, "Master Fa Zheng..."
Fa Zheng said intimately: 'Here',' quickly stepped out and clasped his fists to promise: "I am here." Huang Yueying said: "Before I came, the general told me: I am filial, honest, loyal and reliable, honest, and have good ruling skills. But why is corruption in the officialdom of Yizhou turned into a trend?"
As soon as these words were said, many officials present couldn't help but feel heartbroken; Zhang Song glanced at Fa Zheng, thinking that he had already received his gift last night, he was not very worried.
Fa Zheng clasped his fists and said, "My dear, I have never dared to slack off since I took office. I have conducted open and secret investigations for several months and have basically found out the circumstances of bureaucrats embezzling, bribery and using power for personal gain. I'll wait for the master to examine it!" Then he took out the memorial from the crowd and presented it with both hands.
The officials in question all had their hearts tightly, staring at the memorial in Fazheng's hand, and some were praying silently.
A female guard came down to take the memorial and submitted it to Huang Yueying.
Huang Yueying took the memorial, opened it, and looked carefully. The hall was extremely quiet and the atmosphere was a bit solemn. Some officials kept wiping their sweat with their sleeves, but Zhang Song looked like an old god.
Huang Yueying put down the memorial book and raised her head.
Many officials couldn't help but feel nervous and swallowed.
Huang Yueying glanced at the officials and his eyes were fixed on Zhang Song, "Mr. Zhang Song."
Zhang Song was stunned and subconsciously looked at Fa Zheng, but Fa Zheng deliberately did not look at him.
"Zhang Song, haven't you heard the lord call you?" a female guard shouted sternly.
Zhang Song came back to his senses and hurried out to clasp his fists and said, "I'm here." Huang Yueying picked up Fa Zheng's memorial, frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Zhang Song, this pointed out your three major crimes!" Zhang Song was shocked and looked at Fa Zheng suddenly. Fa Zheng did not look at him at all.
Huang Yueying pressed the memorial, "One of which, he accepted bribes from merchants, colluded with officials and businessmen, and sought improper benefits; the other was a crime of falsely accusing others of robbing women; the third was a tax reduction and squandering himself. What do you have to say about these three major crimes?"
Zhang Song was afraid and angry, pointed at Fa Zheng and roared: "Fa Zheng, you harm me!"
Huang Yueying frowned, "Rareless!"
Zhang Song shuddered and hurriedly pointed at Fa Zheng and said to Huang Yueying, "Sir, Fa Zheng is not a good thing either! He also accepted my bribe last night, two night pearls as big as pigeon eggs!"
Huang Yueying said lightly: "Fa Zheng's memorial has already explained that it is difficult for him to return it to you in front of you, so he has handed over the two night pearls to the treasury!"
Zhang Song was stunned, and suddenly rushed towards Fa Zheng hysterically, grabbed Fa Zheng's still fighting, and scolded him: "You two-faced bastard! I, Zhang Song, are really blind!"
Two female guards stepped forward and took off Zhang Song, but he still shouted and scolded him. Fa Zheng Jing said sternly: "As the governor, I have the responsibility to report the officials' illegal behavior to the lord! Although I have a lot of personal relationships with me, I cannot abandon justice because of personal relationships!"
"Bah! You hypocrite!..." Zhang Songwu kept scolding himself.
Huang Yueying shouted coldly: "Take Zhang Song down and temporarily lock him in the prison of the governor's mansion, wait for the disposal!" Zhang Song was shocked and shouted anxiously: "I have made great contributions to my lord! You can't treat me like this!"
Huang Yueying sighed, "You have made great contributions to your lord! It is precisely because of this that the lord specifically reminded me before I left Chang'an: Be sure to implement Zhang Song's affairs and never wrongly accuse him! Zhang Song, you have made great contributions to your lord, so the lord will give you a heavy responsibility! But when you are in office, you do not benefit the people, but you are corrupt and abused by the law. The lord really wants to let you go in your personal relationship! But the law is unwilling tolerate you, and forgive you, what is the justice of those people who are persecuted by you? Zhang Song, don't blame anyone, blame yourself! Have you forgotten how your lord told you when he left Yizhou? Have you forgotten all?"
Zhang Song was stunned.
Huang Yueying waved her hand and said, "Take it down."
The two female guards immediately dragged Zhang Song down. Zhang Song shouted anxiously: "I am a meritorious minister, you can't treat me like this! I am a meritorious minister..."
Zhang Song was dragged away, and the scene became quieter again, and the atmosphere was more depressing than before!
Huang Yueying glanced at everyone, handed the memorial to the female guard beside her, and ordered: "Call it according to the list above." The female guard opened the memorial and read it loudly, "Li Shi, Fang Kai..." and recited the names of more than a dozen people in one breath. The officials who were pronounced the names were trembling all over.
Huang Yueying's eyes were very cold, "Come on!"
Chapter completed!
