The strongest Marquis in history

Li Wuji turned around to inform.

Immediately after, Chen Qinglong and Qin An entered and bowed respectfully to Wang Qi.

Chen Qinglong said: "Your Highness, the three intelligence bureau officers who were arrested have already asked clearly. They are in collusion with Zeng Zigong, and they have already received Li Shanquan's money, regardless of the news of the Japanese, and have not reported it. So, what news does the North Korean Central Intelligence Bureau have?" I don’t even know. The staff of the Intelligence Bureau have neglected their duties, and it’s because of my negligence in management. I’m guilty, please forgive me.”

Wang Qidao: "This matter has nothing to do with you. I know your disposition. It only involves the Intelligence Bureau, and management needs to be strengthened. If this is the case for local personnel, just don't do it."

Chen Qinglong said: "The minister will definitely rectify the Intelligence Bureau."

Wang Qi nodded, looked at Qin An, and asked, "What about the Supervision Department?"

Qin An said: "There are two people in the Supervision Department who are responsible for supervising the situation in Zhang'an County. The people in the Supervision Department, like the Intelligence Bureau, are also in collusion with Zeng Zigong and have also collected money from the Li family. People from the three parties colluded together to frame Long Ying. Now the two members of the Supervision Department are constantly begging for mercy, hoping to be lenient."

Wang Qi said coldly: "The Japanese invasion caused such huge casualties. The people in the Supervision Department are duty-bound. They even want to be lenient with Zeng Zigong? How is that possible!"

"If you don't kill them, this king will never give up."

"Decree that Zeng Zigong, Li Shanquan, and people from the Supervision Department and the Intelligence Bureau will be executed outside Nancheng at noon tomorrow. Let the people of Zhang'an County know about this."

Wang Qi was very angry.

This time, the situation in Zhang'an County was beyond his expectations.Not only corruption, but also collusion with the Japanese.

Chen Qinglong and Qin An bowed in response, then turned around and went down to make arrangements.

Zhou Zishan said: "Your Highness, I have a consideration for my humble position."

Wang Qi said: "Say!"

Zhou Zishan said: "When Li Shanquan and others are executed tomorrow, it can be said that Li Shanquan colluded with the Japanese. Here, Zeng Zigong, there is no need to mention that he colluded with the Japanese. After all, Zeng Zigong is an official and represents the court of Qi State. Once Zeng Zigong colludes with the Japanese , the people are in an uproar, and it is easy to be disappointed with the court."

Wang Qi shook his head and said, "There's nothing to say. This matter is to be told to let the people know. At the same time, let the people know my king's determination to rectify."

Zhou Zishan sighed when he heard it, he couldn't persuade Wang Qi to make a decision.

Wang Qi said: "Go down and rest, I be quiet, Wang."

"Yes!"

Zhou Zishan got up and left.

Wang Qi sat alone in the tent with a serious expression on his face.Because of Zeng Zigong's incident, a real situation was suddenly opened up. This is the case locally, and there must be many such situations in Qi State.

Wang Qi was a little decadent.

These people are really inappropriate.

But Wang Qi's decadence was crushed in a blink of an eye.He cheered up, and his killing intent rose even more.

If there is corruption, deal with it.

Whoever is corrupt will be killed.

Wang Qi didn't believe that anyone's head could be bigger than his knife.What's more, if the world is directly peaceful and everything in Qi country is gone, wouldn't it be too boring.

Wang Qi's thoughts gradually calmed down.

He waited for tomorrow's kill.

Kill one to warn the hundred, kill the chickens to warn the monkeys, and let everyone in Qi know what happened to Zeng Zigong in Zhang'an County.As long as one dares to corrupt, this is a lesson for the past.

Chapter 710 An Wei Xun

Zhang'an County, Wei Family.

This is a local scholarly family. When it comes to money, the Wei family is not rich.In terms of connections, the Wei family is not particularly strong, but the Wei family's scholarly heirloom passed down for hundreds of years has a high prestige in Zhang'an County.Especially among scholars in Zhang'an County, he has a high influence.

The head of the Wei family's generation, named Wei Tang, is about 60 years old, with a very decent style, and he studies classics and is a learned scholar.Here in Zhang'an County, Wei Tang is the leading scholar.

Wei Tang has always looked down on Li Shanquan.In the past, Li Shanquan wanted to worship Wei Tang as his teacher, and wanted to study under Wei Tang's school.Li Shanquan was a philistine, and he used all means, Wei Tang never accepted Li Shanquan.

The Wei family and the Li family have never had any contact with each other.

The two sides have nothing to do with each other.

Before the Japanese invaded the territory of Zhang'an County, the Wei family gathered all the family members to resist, and the Wei family had a master-level enshrined, so they barely defended.At that time, more than two hundred families fought to the death, and more than a hundred people died in the battle. In the end, the Japanese did not want to waste time or continue to waste their troops, so they retreated.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Japanese were unwilling to kill and injure more, if they really wanted to forcefully attack the Wei family, the Wei family would have to be taken down as well.

As for the resentment towards Li Shanquan, Wei Tang was also extremely resentful.Wei Tang knew that Li Shanquan had been doing business with the Japanese at sea in the early years.This time the Japanese entered the county, there must be a reason for the Li family.

However, Wei Tang's soft words could not change the situation.After all, the sheriff's office is on the Li family's side, and the county government is backing Li Shanquan, so he can only protect himself temporarily.

In the backyard of the Wei family, in the study.

Wei Tang is reading a book. The classic he studies is "Shangshu", which is the most classic Confucian classic.

While Wei Tang was reading a book, suddenly there was an urgent knock on the door, followed by a clear voice: "Grandfather, it's me. My grandson has something to see me."

"Come in!"

Wei Tang gave an order.

Crunch!

The door was pushed open, and a young man in his 20s entered.

The young man's name is Wei Xun, he is the eldest grandson of Wei Tang, he has a rather eccentric personality, but he is extremely intelligent.When Wei Xun saw Wei Tang, he was very excited and said, "Grandfather, it's a great thing, the Li family is finished, the Li family is down."

"what?"

After Wei Tang heard it, a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

Originally, he wanted to scold Wei Xun for being frizzy.Wei Tang was very surprised by Wei Xun's news, and even couldn't restrain the excitement in his heart. He said, "The Li family is so well-behaved and mighty, why did it suddenly fall?"

Wei Xun said: "King Qi came to our Zhang'an County and took Li Shanquan and Zeng Zigong together. These people were all arrested in the barracks. It is even said that the supervision department and intelligence bureau personnel in our Zhang'an County have all been taken down."

Wei Tang said, "This is a good thing!"

Wei Xun continued: "Right now, news about Li Shanquan and Zeng Zigong is spreading throughout Zhang'an County. King Qi also said that at noon tomorrow, there will be a public trial of Li Shanquan and Zeng Zigong outside Nancheng. It is said to be a public trial, but it is actually killing people. "

After Wei Tang finished listening, his old face was full of excitement.

He stroked the beard under his chin with trembling hands, stood up and said: "God has eyes, God has eyes! These damned people have harmed the people and our Zhang'an County. They should have been dealt with long ago. They are not dead. , God can hardly appease the anger. Qi Wang is really wise, Qi Wang is wise!"

Qi State implements a benevolent government, and the people of Zhang'an County have a good life. A decent scholar like Wei Tang is very supportive.

Wei Xun said with a smile: "Grandfather, my grandson has already concluded that Zeng Zigong and Li Shanquan won't last long. It's not that they don't keep secrets, but that they colluded with the Japanese and caused Yan Chixing to be defeated and injured."

"When this incident spread, the court was shaken. How could King Qi not deal with it?"

"It's just that my grandson had expected that King Qi would arrange for someone to come to our Zhang'an County to investigate. I didn't expect that the daughter of King Qi would actually handle the matter in person."

"In this way, King Qi will definitely encircle and suppress the Japanese."

"Otherwise, I wouldn't come here in person."

Wei Xun was very eager and said: "In Zhang'an County, I have gone to sea several times, and I have been to Luzi Island, so I know the situation of the Japanese people best. Grandfather and grandson are going to meet King Qi and lead the way for King Qi. Grandfather please allow me."

This is the purpose of Wei Xun's visit.

He is the eldest grandson of the Wei family, and he is good at reading, but Wei Xun prefers to dispatch troops on the battlefield.In particular, he likes to gallop on the sea, wandering in the blue sea, that is the joy of life.

It's just that Wei Tang always disagreed, and Wei Xun had no choice.

Wei Tang frowned and said, "Do you still want to join the army?"

As a traditional scholar, what Wei Tang thinks is the inheritance of family tradition, which must be passed down from generation to generation.Maybe the family will be silent for a while, but as long as the family continues to pass on and read books from generation to generation, there will always be someone who can revitalize the family.

It's just that Wei Xun always wanted to join the army, and he didn't want to devote himself to research.

Wei Xun said: "Grandfather, my grandson has always wanted to join the army and go to sea to see. My grandson wants to see what it's like to go to sea from our Zhang'an County."

"In order to fulfill my grandson's first dream, I can only join the army and go to the sea to expand the territory for King Qi. Then my grandson's dream of joining the army and going to sea will be fulfilled, and I will have no regrets in this life."

"When my grandson was young, grandfather, you once said that when young people are young, they should be aggressive and aggressive. They should go out and do it without fear."

"Now, how do you stop it?"

Wei Xun looked expectant and said, "Especially this time, King Qi will definitely encircle and suppress the Japanese. Grandfather, this is the only chance for my grandson to join the army, and my grandson doesn't want to miss it."

After hearing this, Wei Tang fell silent.

His grandson is talented, ambitious, and even more righteous. He is an excellent son.Among the scholars in the Wei family, Wei Xun is the best. According to Wei Tang's thinking, Wei Xun is the next generation who will be in charge of the family.

However, Wei Xun only wanted to join the army and go to sea, he really didn't want to.It's just that Wei Tang sighed in his heart when he heard his grandson's words, he couldn't bear to break his grandson's mind.

Wei Tang said: "Forget it, the old man will not stop you, just do as you please."

Wei Xun chuckled and said, "Thank you, grandfather, you are the best. Don't worry, don't you have a third brother at home? He is devoted to studying. With him, the classics studied by the Wei family will not be lost."

Wei Tang snorted, and said, "Let's go, the old man will go with you to the barracks to meet the King of Qi. Speaking of which, there was no chance to appeal for him before the matter involving Long Ying. Now that the King of Qi is here, the old man has come I want to talk about it. Anyway, he once worshiped the old man as his teacher. Besides, you can also report your affairs together."

"Yes!"

Wei Xun replied with a smile.

The grandparents and grandchildren left the study room, took a carriage out of the city, and went to the barracks where Wang Qi was.

Chapter 711 Navy Candidates

After Wei Tang, Wei Xun's grandfather and grandson arrived at the military camp outside the city, they asked to see him directly.The soldiers went to report, and after a short time, they came back and brought Wei Tang and Wei Xun into Wang Qi's tent.

Wei Tang and Wei Xun bowed at the same time and stood below.

Wang Qi looked at Wei Tang, and said with a smile: "The name of Duke Wei, I have heard about it after entering Zhang'an County. Wei Gong's family has a long history, and it doesn't join forces with the Li family, which is admirable. The Japanese invaded the plan, and the whole Wei family worked hard. Resisting is extremely brave. Although Zhang'an County is a small place, there are also real heroes in small places."

Knowing more about the situation in Zhang'an County, Wang Qi also knew about the Wei family in Zhang'an County.

After all, this is a big family of poets and book heirs.

Such a family is very nice.

So Wang Qi paid more attention to it.

As soon as Wei Tang heard Wang Qi's words, his old face became even more excited, and he hurriedly said: "The king of Qi praises Miao, I am ashamed to be an old man, and the Wei family is even more ashamed, they can't be praised by the king of Qi."

"Speaking of which, the Li family moved up and down, and finally framed the County Magistrate of Longying. The old man knew that the County Magistrate of Longying was framed, but he was powerless and could only watch."

"The Japanese killed and plundered, and the Wei family's strength was limited, so they could only stand by themselves and resist the Japanese attack. Although they killed more than [-] Japanese, they did their best, and it is really hard to say."

"When Zeng Zigong was the county magistrate, he extorted violently and extorted money. Li Shanquan helped the tyrants to abuse him. The Wei family had no choice but to sweep the door. Such a Wei family really cannot be praised by the king of Qi."

"The old man came here today, especially for the work of County Magistrate Long."

"King Qi, the magistrate of Longying County, is the parent official of Zhang'an County. He is dedicated to planning for the people. He has never been involved in corruption, and it is impossible for him to be corrupt. I implore King Qi to investigate thoroughly."

Having said that, Wei Tang bowed respectfully, which is a true ninety-degree bow.For an old man in his 60s, this is a big gift.

Wang Qi waved his hand and said, "Duke Wei, don't worry about Long Ying. I already know about him. Before I came to Zhang'an County, I met Long Ying. Long Ying's grievances will be wiped clean."

Wei Tang rejoiced and said, "Qi Wang Shengming!"

After a pause, Wei Tang continued: "The other thing that this old man came over was that my grandson Wei Xun insisted on seeing King Qi, and he had something to say to King Qi."

Wang Qi's eyes fell on Wei Xun.

Wei Xun was around twenty years old, with sharp cheeks, sharp brows, and firm eyes. His first impression was very good.

Wang Qi said: "Wei Xun, what do you want to say?"

Wei Xun replied: "Reporting to the King of Qi, I came to visit this time because I am familiar with the situation of the Japanese. The location where the Japanese hide is at Luzi Island in the sea. Not only that, I know the route to Luzi Island, and I can lead the way. , so that King Qi’s ships will avoid the rocks and will not hit the rocks.”

"really?"

Wang Qi raised his brows, with a look of surprise on his face.

There are still people who are familiar with the situation.

This is a good thing.

Although Wang Qi already knew the situation of the Japanese through Li Shanquan's situation.But after all, these messages are nothing compared to being carried by a real person.

Wei Xun said: "King Qi, please rest assured that there will be no problems. I have played in the sea since I was a child, and I know everything about the islands near Zhang'an County. I will never make mistakes."

Wang Qi said: "Yes, you will lead the way when the Japanese are encircled and suppressed this time."

"As ordered!"

Wei Xun replied immediately.
