    Chapter 210: Catch the ducks and put them on the shelves

    Extremely miserable howls came from the courtyard of Daxia Governor's Mansion, and these powerful screams could be heard from a dozen streets away.  Along with the screams, there was a dull and loud sound of iron rods hitting the breasts.  Muscles were broken, bones were shattered, and the stone slabs under the human body were shattered into pieces by the huge force. Various delicate but extremely distinct sounds continued to be heard, and the people near the Duzao Mansion were heard hiding their faces and walking away.  I don¡¯t know what happened in this yamen, which has been the most powerful in the past two years.

    In the long and wide first courtyard of the Governor's Mansion, hundreds of officials from various departments of the Governor's Mansion in purple robes were lying on their backs.  Their pants were pulled down to their knees. Bai was swinging an iron rod that was as thick as a child's head and was beating the butts of these people one after another according to Xia Jie's instructions.  'Bang bang', Bai is now extremely powerful. The iron rod is also specially made with special materials. It is made of metal alloy and has countless spells specifically designed to break the witchcraft shield engraved on it. With one blow, it will really hit these officials.  on the body.

    ¡®Bang bang bang¡¯, several sticks hit him, and the Supervisory Mansion official who was beaten by Bai screamed. His pelvis and thigh bones were smashed to pieces, blood and flesh sprayed out several feet away, and half of his spine was shattered.  Several great witches from the Li Witch Hall on the side smiled at the official with a smile on their face and said: "Just follow Xia Jie's instructions to sacrifice the witches honestly. You will suffer less and we will help you heal your injuries. If so,  If you don¡¯t want to explain it, we don¡¯t care.¡±

    Several great witches from the Li Witch Palace held the witch seals of the 'Aoki Resurrection Curse' in a sinister manner, streaks of green light streaking back and forth against the official's body, but they refused to fall into place.  The official's witchcraft power was blocked, and he was severely injured by Bai using the iron rod that was specially designed to break witchcraft power. He was in so much pain that his soul was in pain. Hearing the ridicule of these powerful witches, his psychological defense suddenly collapsed, and he honestly howled: "I  Confess, I will confess! I confiscated three thousand cubic meters of top-grade jade, fifty-seven thousand two hundred cubic meters of top-grade jade, thirty-one thousand seven hundred kilograms of fine gold, ninety-eight thousand nine hundred kilograms of silver, and ten tons of red copper and bronze.  Tens of thousands of catties, 200,000 livestock, thirty-eight civilian women, and the title deeds to dozens of privately owned mountains, forests, and pastures are all in the secret room of my private house."

    Xia Jie¡¯s face was so gloomy that a layer of frost could be scraped off.  He waved his hand and snorted coldly: "Qingmin, you take people to confiscate his home and take out all his greedy property. Then, torture him as you like, and you will torture all the corrupt officials he knows."  Explain it to me. Let's calculate each account in detail."

    Qing Min opened his eyes wide and nodded nervously. He firmly grabbed the sleeve of a great witch next to him and carefully walked to the official who was screaming in agony.  After looking at the official curiously for a while, Qingmin ordered with a smile on his face: "Use the powder of 'Drunken Dragon Grass' to relieve his pain. Don't cure him yet. After taking out the treasures that Brother Xia Jie wanted,  Let¡¯s talk about it later.¡±

    A group of big witches carried the official away. Xia Jie pointed to the officials beside him who were turning blue with fright, and sneered: "Bai, next. Beat me hard, hard, I'll treat you later."  You eat roasted whole beef.¡±

    "Chi!" Bai's saliva almost flowed out. He stretched out his long tongue and licked his mouth. He laughed wildly for a while and suddenly jumped up to a height of more than a hundred feet in the air. The iron rod danced in his hand.  A stick stirred up a white wave of air with a 'whoosh' sound, and hit an official's white buttocks heavily.  There was only a crackling sound, and the white and elastic buttocks exploded like bombs. The white bones under the white muscles were beaten to pieces, and the officer also let out a "Ouch~~"  ~' screamed, and immediately raised both hands and screamed: "Meng Tianhou, Meng Tianhou, I am guilty, I will confess, I will confess!"

    For three days and three nights, Xia Jie, who led the anti-rebellion army back to Anyi City, did not take a step out of the Governor's Mansion. He even had no intention of attending the celebration banquet hosted by Lu Gui.  He brought a group of great witches from the Li Witch Palace, carefully tortured and interrogated the officials under the Supervisory House, and took out all the huge amounts of property they had embezzled.  However, there are still hundreds of thousands of officials under the Supervisory Mansion who need to be cleaned up by Xia Jie, especially those who perform the task of urging and requisitioning various materials. If you want to dig out the problems on them, God knows how much time it will take.  .

    However, just the problems that were cleared up in these three days and nights have shocked Xia Jie. With his current state of mind, he almost fainted from fright.

    After destroying the county magistrate and exterminating the officials, Xia Jie finally understood how serious the harm to the people would be if the lower-level officials became ruthless.  From the confessions of hundreds of officials directly under his jurisdiction, Xia Jie finally understood that the rebellion of the northwest countries was just a little faster because of Bai Zhi's instigation. In fact, there was no such thing as Bai Zhi, Yi Hao and others.  If you stir up trouble inside, the northwest countries will definitely oppose it.

    The daughters of the Northwestern Marquis were allThe officials of the Supervisory Mansion were defiled by violence, and the father of the Northwestern Marquis was tortured with a cane in front of countless subjects. The treasury of Dayu State was drained, and the people had no overnight food in their homes. The once prosperous country was in ruins.  In just two or three years, it was as dilapidated as a broken kiln.  Xia Jie thought that if he were the Marquis of the Northwest, he would have led his army to attack Anyi City long ago.

    Throwing away the thick confession file, Xia Jie looked up to the sky and sighed: "What a sin! Damn it, how can Xuanwu Xiahou, one of my four spirits, get involved in such dirty deeds?"

    Xia Jie, who felt a little frustrated for a moment, shook his head and had already made another decision.  Since his original intention of becoming an official in Daxia was not to be a high-ranking official and rich in salary, and since his subsequent motivation to obtain high positions and power in Daxia was only for the blood feud of his family, then, with his current strength and influence, he is enough to become a high-ranking official in Daxia.  The Dongyi people took revenge.  The government of Great Xia suddenly deteriorated to this point. Why do I still want to get involved in this muddy water?  Xia Jie's hair stood on end when he thought about how many people had cursed him behind his back and cursed him in the past two years.

    Early in the morning of the second day, Xia Jie went straight to the palace, carrying a case file several feet thick, asking to see Lu Gui.

    That day happened to be the time for the Great Court Meeting, where the civil servants and generals of Great Xia were enthusiastically recounting the process of countering the rebellion in the northwest, and spoke highly of the outstanding performance of young generals such as Xia Jie and Xingtian Dafeng.  As soon as he heard that Xia Jie was asking to see Lu Gui outside the palace, Lu Gui, who was in great interest, immediately laughed and said: "Xuan, just ask Xia Jie to come in. What has he been doing these days? Making the governor's house cry and howl?"  Ah, I heard that the screams of those people scared the little babies in the neighboring ministers¡¯ houses to the point where they cried at night!¡±

    The ministers laughed loudly at the same time, only Xing Tiane tilted his head and looked at the main entrance of the hall with a puzzled expression.  He did not believe that Xia Jie, a kind, simple and steady barbarian, could be a tyrannical chief who would beat his subordinates for fun when he had nothing to do.  There are quite a few officials in Daxia who beat their subordinates at will when they have nothing to do, but doesn't Xia Jie look like this kind of person?

    Holding his beard hard, Xing Tiane's eyes moved quickly, sometimes scanning Bi Xiangcheng, and sometimes Lu Gui's smiling face.

    Xia Jie, with a gloomy face, strode into the main hall grabbing the thick pile of case files. After bowing and saluting Lu Gui, he shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I think that my moral character is insufficient, and my prestige and strength are not enough to be qualified for the position of governor.  Therefore, I would like to resign from the position of Supervising Minister, and please give me your permission." He clasped his fists with both hands, bowed deeply to Lu Gui, and threw the pile of files to the chamberlain beside Lu Gui.

    Xing Tiane was so excited that he almost pulled out his beard.  He covered his aching chin and shouted in a low voice: "Xia Jie, why did you resign from the position of Minister of Construction?" Xing Tiane was really anxious, so he relied on the Minister of Supervision to mobilize the huge financial and material power of the whole country  , How much benefit has the Xingtian family gained from it in the past two years?  Although the current Xingtian family doesn't care about the benefits such as property and land deeds, but it's better to have benefits than no benefits, right?  Especially through the Supervisory Office, how many people did the Xingtian family place in other departments?

    Lu Gui was also puzzled for a while. The ministers of Daxia have always worked hard to climb up. I have never heard of anyone resigning voluntarily. Xia Jie has set a precedent since the founding of Daxia.  He looked at Xia Jie in confusion, shook his head in confusion and said, "What? You don't want to be the supervising minister anymore? Meng Tianhou, Xia Jie, didn't you do a great job?"

    After receiving the case file handed over by the chamberlain, Lu Gui casually opened one and glanced at it, gasping as if he had a toothache.  He said blankly: "An ordinary treasury officer in the governor's office secretly embezzled tens of thousands of cubic meters of jade, hundreds of thousands of kilograms of fine gold and silver? How many treasuries are there in the governor's office?"

    Xia Jie said coldly: "Your Majesty, there are 3,600 people in the Treasury under the Supervisory Mansion. There are 128,000 large and small warehouses, which have accumulated countless luggage needed on the construction site. Half of them fell into this group of gangsters.  In the hands of the tent." He said angrily: "I think I am not worthy of the people of the world, so I would like to ask the king to show mercy and allow me to resign from the position of supervising minister."

    Lu Gui, the Prime Minister and the many ministers exchanged glances quickly.  He signaled the chamberlains to hand over these case files to the many ministers below. The ministers took turns looking through the case files. Each of them seemed to know these things for the first time, and at the same time they made a fuss and shouted.

    Xia Jie sneered in his heart.  These people really know how to put on a show.  Which official in the Supervisory Mansion is not from a large or small witch family?  As for the rights and wrongs committed by these officials, their family heads would not know it, and Xia Jie would not believe it.  Xia Jie didn't mind that these worms were getting rich by relying on the power of the governor's office.  But they harmed the people, and in the end all the blame was passed on to Xia Jie. Xia Jie was absolutely not willing to take advantage of them.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?After a long while, Lu Gui finally laughed dryly: "Meng Tianhou, um, ah, um, Xia Jie, I won't be the supervising minister anymore." Glancing at the ministers in the hall, Lu Gui  He said very loudly: "However, Xia Jie's achievements in the past two years are all seen by me and all the ministers. Therefore, I will reward Xia Jie heavily."

    No one said anything, just reward, reward, these ministers don't care about this at all.  What they care about is, who will take over the position of Supervisor?  This is a very fat position.  Looking at the small officials under the Supervisory Office who have made such a huge sum, it can only be said that Xia Jie, the Supervisory Minister, is too honest about his duties and does not even know how to make money.  Alas, he is indeed a barbarian from the mountains and forests.  If a descendant of the Wu family takes the position of supervising minister, wouldn't it be

    After a while, Lu Gui smiled with satisfaction when he saw the changing expressions of his ministers.  Very good, another great opportunity to divide the ministers.  He drawled out his voice happily and asked very calmly: "So~~~, this successor~~~, do you have any candidates?"

    Xing Tiane flicked his finger, and a wisp of strong wind silently hit Xia Jie's thigh.  Xia Jie felt a pain in his thigh and looked at Xing Tiane sharply.  Xing Tiane looked at Xia Jie pitifully, blinking his eyes desperately and looking at Xia Jie.  Xia Jie felt a chill in his heart, and even Bai Bai on top of his head made a motion of vomiting.  Grinning, Xia Jie hugged his fists towards Lu Gui and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, I think that Heishi Army Lieutenant Xingtian Dafeng and Xuanbiao Army Lieutenant Xingtian Xuanzhi are the best candidates."

    Xiang Liubi suddenly interrupted. He chuckled and said, "Meng Tianhou is wrong. The relationship between Xingtian Dafeng, Xingtian Xuanzhi and Meng Tianhou is known to everyone in the court. But"

    Xia Jie smiled faintly and said lazily: "But, the one who controls Jianmu now belongs to Li Wu Palace. Except for Brother Xingtian and the others, I am afraid no one can recruit the many great wizards in Li Wu Palace."

    Xiang Liubi was dumbfounded. Fang Fengyi and Shen Gongli looked at Xia Jie angrily. Why did this barbarian suddenly become so cunning and hateful?  Only Xing Tian'e smiled brightly and said to Lu Gui: "Your Majesty, Meng Tianhou and Li Wuzun are 'close friends'. Hahahahaha, my family Dafeng and Xuanzhi also have such a close relationship with Li Wuzun."  Since they are the supervising ministers, at least the great witches of Li Wu Palace will not deliberately delay the progress?"

    Lu Gui also smiled happily?  He was just waiting for someone from the Xingtian family to take the initiative to ask for the position of supervising minister. Otherwise, how could he differentiate the relationship between the Xingtian family and many other witch families?  Xia Jie, who used to be a friend of the Xingtian family, held the important position of supervising minister, but that was all. Other heads of the Wu family could tolerate it.  But now that a direct member of your Xingtian family has become the Minister of Construction, how many more years can other Wu families allow your Xingtian family to live happily?

    Lu Gui immediately slapped his hands and said: "What's great is that Xingtian Dafeng is the supervising minister, and Xingtian Xuanzhi is the deputy superintendent. Well, Gongtianhou Andor and Shuntianhou Thor are the left and right commanding officers, who are responsible for providing various equipment to assist.  Project progress. That¡¯s it.¡±

    Xia Jie¡¯s ears twitched, why can Andorra and Thor provide those construction machinery again?  It seemed that as soon as he left the construction site, they jumped out immediately. What were these two boys going to do?

    Xing Tian'e rushed out of the train excitedly, thanked Lu Gui and said, "Your Majesty is the most wise. Hahahaha, your Majesty, don't worry, with Gale and Xuan Lee around, the progress of the Tianzhen Tower will definitely"

    "Huh?" Lu Gui, Xiang Liuhui and others glared at Xing Tiane at the same time.  There are still many courtiers in the court who don¡¯t know the mystery behind the name ¡®Tianzhen Tower¡¯.  Xing Tiane just twirled his beard and smiled, completely not caring.  His eyes were piercing, and he glared at Xiang Liuhui and the others fiercely. His powerful power forced Xiang Liuhui and the other three men to turn their heads and not dare to look at him.

    Seeing Xing Tiane's strong behavior, Lu Gui felt even more angry.  He blinked his eyes and suddenly asked with a smile: "Since Meng Tianhou resigned from the position of Supervising Minister, then, I wonder if Meng Tianhou has free time to contribute to Daxia?" Lu Gui looked at Xia Jie with a smile,  His eyes were spinning like windmills. Everyone present knew that he wanted to calculate Xia Jie, but what was there to calculate?  Why does he want to calculate Xia Jie?

    Xia Jie opened his mouth, "Well, it seems that after resigning from the position of Minister of Construction Supervision, he really has nothing to do."  To manage the territory of the thirty-six states in the sea area that belongs to you?  Now that the various states have long lost their military and political power, why not go and use the false name of being the tax collector of Daxia?  Go back to that clan land to manage your own power?  Well, it seems that the last time Taoist Tongtian brought Shang Tang to borrow land from him, he lent all the more than 20,000 miles of clan land left to him by the Xingtian family to Shang Tang, but he didn't even have an acre of land in his hands.  ¡­

    After much deliberation, Xia Jie finally decided?I really can't find anything to do.  He couldn't openly lead his barbarian army to attack Dongyi?  Five million barbarian troops were not enough for the Dongyi people to swallow up.

    While he was thinking here, Lu Gui already clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Wonderful, since there is nothing to do in the fierce weather, then just contribute to my Daxia. From now on, the rebellious parties around my Daxia will all depend on you Xia Jie.  ." Lu Gui said with a smile: "If there is another rebellion like the Northwest Hou, Meng Tianhou will lead the army to put down the rebellion."

    Before Xia Jie could refuse his order, Lu Gui jumped up and walked towards the inner palace.  As he walked, he smiled and said: "That's it, the matter is settled like this. Let's form a counter-rebellion army as soon as possible in Mengtian. If you want military pay, I will give it; if you want weapons and armor, I will give it; if you want powerful witchcraft, I will give it to you.  I will also give you the magical weapons. However, the people in this army can only rely on themselves. Daxia¡¯s military strength is really lacking recently!"

    By the time Xia Jie came to his senses, Lu Gui had already run away and disappeared.

    Xia Jie is angry in his heart. Well, he has just got rid of the bad reputation of "Xia Papi" in the governor's office, and now he has to be the executioner to suppress the rebellion. Is this guy Lu Gui just not wanting to make himself feel better?

    Whether you are serving as the supervising minister to recruit materials and manpower from the world, or as the commander of the counter-rebellion army to quell the rebellion of all parties, this is a position that will be cursed by the common people.  Xia Jie was so angry that there was nothing he could say.

    Lu Gui is clearly trying to get the product on the shelves. In one word, he will not let you Xia Jie stop.
