In May, the third year of Chongzhen.

Zhou Zheng ordered Cao to transform into Jiao to set up a net on ten sides, and a 10,000 army was divided into ten routes, and a vigorous bandit suppression project was carried out in Hejian Prefecture from outside to inside.

Qilian, on the other hand, launched stability actions from the inside out.

The Hejian Mansion was suddenly filled with excitement, and there were countless people stirring up.

In just three days, Cao Bianjiao eliminated more than ten bandits, arrested nearly 300 bandits, and seized countless money and food.

Qilian was prepared and very purposeful. He arrested nearly 100 people in Hejian County in one day!

In Hejian Prefecture, people were in panic and rumors spread everywhere, and all the officials and the people were restless.

Zhou Zheng went to the Hejian Prefecture Office and sat on chess and had tea with Hu Qingzheng.

Behind Hu Qingzheng were He Gong and Wei Chong, the two officials, who watched the two adults drink tea, play chess, lower their heads, and their faces were condensing.

Although Hu Qingzheng was fooling around, his chess skills were pretty good. Looking at Zhou Zheng's scattered chess game, he was smiling in his heart, but sighed helplessly on his face, saying, "No wonder so many people impeach you when they were in the capital. You are so lucky to be able to survive until now."

If the Ming officials want to do things, they will inevitably offend many people with the current chaotic government, so there will be no fewer people who are impeached. The result is that the impeached person will either voluntarily resign or wait to be imprisoned for punishment.

Not to mention these local officials, even the six imperial court departments and the big figures in the cabinet, how many of them can escape?

In just three years of the Chongzhen Dynasty, six ministers had changed, six ministers, and more were found in the six ministers, and there were many other ministers in prison.

The cabinet minister Qian Longxi and the Minister of Justice Qiao Yunsheng were sent to garrison. According to news not long ago, Qiao Yunsheng had died in the garrison.

Zhou Zheng played chess seriously and said, "Will someone impeach you so soon?"

Hu Qingzheng sighed again, looked at the chessboard with no hope, and said, "I guess I'm on the road. Since yesterday, there have been dozens of officials and gentry looking for me to celebrate. What should you do if you say I'm going to do?"

Zhou Zheng lost his son and said lightly: "You either stand up and support me, or you don't say anything. If you talk nonsense, I will put you in the prison department."

Hu Qingzheng looked up at Zhou Zheng, and when he saw that he was not joking, he silently said, "If this continues, you will have a big problem sooner or later."

Zhou Zhengdao: "Everyone is like you, and I, the Ming Dynasty, should be destroyed."

Hu Qingzheng knew that he could not persuade Zhou Zheng, so he said helplessly: "I will try my best to help you find a solution in the court. You... take care of yourself."

Zhou Zheng picked up the teacup and said, "Don't move, I have my own way."

Hu Qingzheng blinked, then picked up the teacup and smashed his mouth. He was very curious about Zhou Zheng's method.

He Gong and Wei Chong listened to the conversation between Hu Qingzheng and Zhou Zheng. The two looked at each other, their eyes were worried and their fears were almost exactly the same.

Hejian Prefecture is different from Yongping Prefecture. It has a large population and is densely populated by gentry. It is close to the capital. It is clear that the capital city knows a little bit, let alone such a big move now.

Qilian arrested people all over Hejian County. Not to mention the rogues, there were many rich second-generation officials and second-generation dandy people. Even some royal relatives and nobles arrested them indiscriminately. This was to break the sky!

Zhou Zheng put down the teacup, looked up at Wei Chong and He Gong, and said, "I want to change the sixth room and the prison department of the government office. Do you have any objections?"

The two of them quickly raised their hands and said, "The official has no objection."

The two of them had already agreed, and their attitude was "no objection". If Zhou Zheng was questioned by the court in the future, it had nothing to do with them.

Zhou Zheng didn't care about them, as long as he didn't cause trouble.

Zhou Zheng said with a hush, "Call everyone in each county, county magistrate, six wings, experience department, prison department and other people here to meet my official position. As long as you don't come, you will be dismissed regardless of the reason."

The officials such as the Sixth House were completely prefects and appointed by the magistrate. They were not considered officials, but only officials. They were the lowest-level existence in the Ming Dynasty officialdom, and were closest to officials, but not officials.

He Gong, Wei Chong hesitated for a while, and said, "Yes, the official will go and pass the order now."

While Zhou Zheng was drinking tea and playing chess with Hu Qingzheng, the Hejian County Government was in trouble.

A middle-aged woman cried and cried to the middle-aged man, and said in a panic: "Master, you are just Yan'er, you can't be taken away..."

The middle-aged man is the magistrate of Hejian County and Ningshan.

Ning Shan raised his eyebrows and shouted with an angry look on his face: "Why do I usually tell you? You cover up all the things he has done for him after doing so many bastards. He thought that everything would be fine if I had me. He was lawless. Now he knew how to cry, it was too late!"

"Master, I know I know I'm wrong. Please save Yan'er. He is only twenty years old and he is still a child. You can't save him to death or not..." The woman cried heartbrokenly, and her face collapsed on the ground with tears in her face, holding Ning Shan's legs tightly.

Ning Shan frowned, but couldn't speak out, and he couldn't vent his anger, and became more and more angry.

At this time, a white-haired old lady, supported by the maid, stepped in quickly, looked at Ning Shan and cried and said anxiously: "Second, you must rescue Yan'er. Our Ning family is the only one. You can't let the Ning family break up..."

Ning Shan saw that my mother had come, and his anger turned into weak helplessness and said, "Mom, I'll think of a solution."

The old lady hurriedly said, "Go quickly!"

The woman on the ground hurried and looked at Ningshan with a nervous look on her face.

Ning Shan felt extremely uncomfortable when he looked at the family's expression and strode out.

Before leaving the yamen, a group of people came to the block.

A middle-aged man with a big belly and a stool-bellied businessman said anxiously: "Mr. Ning, my son has always been a duty and always rules. Lord. Ning, please let him out. I have a lot of filial piety on weekdays. You can just say how much money you have..."

"Mr. Ning, my grandson is only nineteen years old and has always been well-behaved. I must have offended someone. Please let my grandson come out with a clear look. Lord. Ning, you have learned from the county. I have taught you a few days..." said the white-haired county school teacher tremblingly.

"Mr. Ning, although our servants usually cause trouble, they have never sued for death. They are law-abiding. I also ask Lord Ning to be kind to you. The county is not going to build a river, I donate a thousand taels..." He spoke with a gentle and gentle manner, and at first glance he was the descendant of the scholarly family.

More than a dozen people came and threw them at Ningshan with all their words. They were all well-known figures in Hejian Mansion.

Ning Shan had a tense face and even a mouthful.

Why did he say that his son was also arrested? Although the arrested person was a soldier from Hejian County, he was not under his control? He couldn't control him?

Ning Shan had nothing to say, and he was so angry that he turned around and entered the door. The doorman hurriedly closed the door and blocked the group of people who were about to come in.

Ning Shan listened to the shouting outside, and saw the old lady and the wife coming towards him. He frowned, said nothing, and walked towards the back door.
