After Cai Xun and Liu Qi had a confidential conversation, they said goodbye and left.

After Cai Xun left, Liu Qi continued to handle official affairs in Xiangyang.

As expected, Liu Biao made up his mind and pushed all the affairs of Jingzhou to Liu Qi. He completely acted as a hands-off shopkeeper, recuperating in peace and not caring about worldly affairs.

The entire power of Jingzhou has now completely fallen into Liu Qi's hands.

Military and political unity!

After finishing today's affairs, Liu Qi immediately ordered the driver of the mansion to harness the chariot and take him to the newly established Dali Temple Office in Xiangyang City.

The newly appointed Dali Temple Lieutenant Liu Ye has not left. He is still at the Dali Temple Office, reviewing the cases handed over from the county office and the state capital, one by one.

Liu Qi did not let anyone outside the government go in to report, but walked into the main hall where Liu Ye was trying the case.

Liu Ye was very serious. Even if Liu Qi came in, he didn't notice it. He still lowered his head and looked at the file seriously.

It wasn't until Liu Qi poured himself a glass of water on Liu Ye's desk, and then sat across from Liu Ye while drinking, that Liu Ye felt as if he had just woken up from a big dream.

When he raised his head, he met Liu Qi's eyes.

"Junhou?!" Liu Ye woke up from a dream and hurriedly stood up and bowed his hands: "Liu Ye has seen Junhou! When did Junhou come?"

While drinking water, Liu Qi stretched his head to look at the files on Liu Ye's desk and said, "It doesn't take long, it takes about one or two sticks of incense."

Liu Ye was very ashamed when he heard this.

After one or two sticks of incense, he didn't notice Liu Qi's whereabouts. If he were replaced by a Shangguan who likes to find fault, he, the newly appointed captain of Dali Temple, would probably be done with it.

"What time is it now? It's already dark, and you're still at the official office?"

Liu Ye said with a slight embarrassment: "I have nothing to do when I go home. It's better to handle official business here. After all, the Dali Temple Office has just been established. It has taken on so many cases at once. If I don't have to put some thought into it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to support it. "

"Well, you have to spend some time, don't neglect your wife and children at home." Liu Qi said with a smile: "They have just come to Jingzhou, are they used to the food and accommodation?"

"Thanks to your concern and your proper arrangements, my family and I are very accustomed to living in Jingzhou. The water, soil and water here in Jingzhou are the same as those of the Huaihe River. It is very nice and comfortable."

Liu Qi smiled and nodded, saying: "That's good... Well, when I said goodbye to Zi Yang, I was very worried about him. Now that Zi Yang has returned to Jingzhou with Yuan Zhi, it is really a great joy for Liu Qi. From now on How happy it is for you and I to work together!"

"The ruler attaches great importance to Liu Ye, so Liu Ye must fulfill his duties and do his best to repay the ruler."

"Between our fellow sects, there is no need to say so many polite words." Liu Qi smiled, waved his hand, and said, "The Guard Agency has already summarized the investigation intelligence to you?"

"Give it." Liu Ye stood up, clapped his hands, and ten officials carried a total of five trays into the hall and placed the trays in front of him and Liu Qi.

"Yuan Zhi personally sent people to send the relevant files about who contacted the Yuan family in the north and Wang Yun of Luoyang to the Dali Temple Wei. Ye reviewed them for days and summarized them in detail, and asked the prince to review them."

Liu Qi was very impressed by Liu Ye's high efficiency.

"Very good. If that's the case, then I can choose a day to beat these traitors myself." Liu Qi squatted down, flipping through the list on the tray one by one, and said coldly.

Liu Ye stood up from his seat, walked to Liu Qi, and squatted next to him.

He looked at the thick slips on the ground, was silent for a while, and then asked: "Junhou, how do you plan to deal with these scholars who took advantage of Liu Jingzhou's critical illness and secretly contacted the Yuan family in the north and Wang Yun of Luoyang?

?Kill them?"

"Of course you can't kill. Although there is collusion, if so many people are accused, I'm afraid it will cause a radical change, so I want to give it a proper beating for the time being."

Liu Ye stroked his beard, squinted his eyes and thought for a long time, then said: "Since the Lord intends to beat, then according to Liu Ye, it is not convenient for the Lord to interrogate himself... After all, after the beating, he still has to give

These scholars have some room for maneuver, and as the Lord of the Ten Counties, the final act of selling favors needs to be done by the Lord himself."

Liu Qi nodded suddenly upon hearing this, secretly thinking that this was really the truth.

In the past, I did most of the work of beating others up myself, because at that time I was the second-in-command in Jingzhou, and Liu Biao was the first-in-command. Naturally, Liu Biao was required to be the peacemaker, and he was naturally required to share the worries of his father.

Dry.

But now, Liu Qi is already the leader of ten counties. From now on, he needs to change his role, from someone who shares others' worries to someone who wants others to share their worries for him.

"Well, in that case, according to the regulations, the Guards Department and the Criminal Bureau will first jointly arrest these people who are colluding with foreign enemies, and then they will be handed over to your Dali Temple Department for trial according to the regulations. These new government agencies of yours have just been established.

This time is considered an opening for you... Remember, everything must abide by the regulations, and cases must be judged and judged with reason and evidence. You must not unjustly accuse a good person, and of course you cannot let a bad person go... Do you understand?"

Liu Ye cupped his hands and said, "Just don't worry, Lord."

…

So, while Man Chong went to various counties to carry out disaster relief inspections against powerful officials in various places, these newly established judicial agencies in Xiangyang City began to act intensively again.

First, Zhang Yun and Xu Shu from the Guard Bureau took the lead and started arresting people using the intelligence detected by the Guard Bureau.

Cooperating with them was the Criminal Department led by Liu Yao.

Liu Yao was Liu Qi's same clan, a Han clan kinsman, and dependent on Liu Qi, so he was trustworthy, so Liu Qi put the newly established Criminal Department in charge of him and his three generals.

But in addition to being a clan member of the Han Dynasty, Liu Yao was also a famous scholar of Confucian classics. He was really reluctant to arrest scholars based on the intelligence listed by the Guards Office headed by Zhang Yun.

But the responsibility lay, and Zhang Yun also provided strong evidence, so Liu Yao had to do it.

As the plague in Xiangyang City gradually subsided, another vigorous campaign to eradicate the cancer began.

The Guards Bureau cooperated with the Criminal Bureau and began to arrest people on a large scale within Nan County, and sent them to the Dali Temple Bureau under the control of Liu Ye. Liu Ye personally presided over the trial and determined the crime based on the evidence and the results of the interrogation.

Within a few days, thirty-one people in Xiangyang City alone were detained by Liu Ye and awaiting punishment for secretly colluding with Yuan Shao and having evil intentions.

The scholars were intertwined and had complex relationships with each other, and the phenomenon of cliques was serious. Thirty-one officials from the Northern Confucian School of Confucian Studies were arrested in Xiangyang City. Naturally, the scholars with the same party affiliation could not sit still.

The Guards Department, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple Department are now the highest-level secret service agencies, law enforcement agencies, and judicial structures in Xiangyang City. Of course, we cannot reason with them.
