Qu Qingze knew very well that the Jinyiwei had seen many such situations. Now Li Zixiong has entered this state. He actually wanted to use force, that is, kill all members of the investigation team, and then he said that the responsibility was all over the bandits. It was indeed rare to be so crazy.

"Li Zixiong, as the governor of Shaanxi Prefecture and an official of the court, you are so bold and arrogant, but you still know that there are national laws."

Qu Qingze did not say that he was righteous, and his tone was even a little calm.

Of course, Li Zixiong couldn't listen to such dissuasion at this moment. In his opinion, at this time, it was already a life-and-death struggle. If his behavior was exposed, the Shangfang Sword in Su Tiancheng's hand was not a vegetarian. Even the people above him might not be able to protect it. If Su Tiancheng did not have the Shangfang Sword in his hand, everything was still unclear.

"Haha, the national law, I am the governor of Shanzhou. Here, my words are national law, Qu Qingze. Do you not understand such a simple truth?"

"So, I must accept the conditions proposed by Lord Li."

When Li Zixiong heard Qu Qingze say such words, he seemed to have seen a life-saving straw. He thought that Qu Qingze was still afraid of death. As long as he tied Qu Qingze together, many things in the future would be easier.

"Master Qu, a master of the times is a hero. You have had such an understanding of this, so why did you get to this point? But I won't care so much. You come to Shanzhou for inspection. Thank you for your hard work. I took out two thousand taels of gold to express my feelings. In fact, I really want to make friends with Master Qu, and there are many friends and multiple ways."

"Wait, Lord Li. The magistrate trusts me so much. If I conceal the situation in Shanzhou and are spread by the brothers in the inspection team, I am afraid I will have no life to enjoy it with the gold you gave me."

"How great is this? The inspectors, Lord Qu, can trust you, even if you name them, leave the rest to me, and keep you nothing."

There was no expression on Qu Qingze's face, and he suddenly felt it was very interesting. Why is Li Zixiong so crazy? Does he have such a big support? The Shangfang sword in Su Tiancheng's hand is not a vegetarian.

"Mr. Li, we have never met before. I dare not trust you so much."

"Master Qu. We hit it off at first sight. In fact, this is an official to live a better life. Just say that Shanzhou is a barren land, and the people may not have food to eat. They may not be able to get promoted. If they live with their salary, they may not be able to support their families. In such a poor and backward land, why should they be stubborn? I am also a Jinshi during the Tianqi period. Look at my classmates, who are in the capital and live a very smooth life, why should I endure hardships?"

"I don't agree with what Lord Li said. Although I have not been able to achieve such fame, the words I hear are very different from what you say."

"Haha, this is your naivety. Those who are officials are not in person or behind the scenes. The ones they say are actually full of thieves and prostitutes. If you don't have money, don't think about promotion in your life. Why should the cabinet promote you? The magistrate and the governor recommend you? If you rely on the salary of the court, your family can't support you, where can you get the money you get?"

Li Zixiong's expression became a little contemptuous, obviously thinking that Qu Qingze was just a naughty man. Although he was not necessarily very young, he had no idea about the rules in the officialdom.

"Master Qu, it's not that I said you, I don't have money, you are nothing. Just say, I, the magistrate of Shanzhou, the official in the capital, who would like to come here? Not to mention the capital, just say that the officials around the governor and the officials around the governor are unable to avoid it. In this place of Shanzhou, everyone must listen to what I say, but when I arrived in Luoyang and Kaifeng, what am I? Just an official like me will never be able to see the emperor in my life. Why should I get promoted? So, if you have power, you don't have to be an official in vain. In fact, you are the same. Take advantage of this opportunity to make more money. If you have money, you still have to worry about not being able to become an official in a good place."

A sneer also appeared on Qu Qingze's face.

"Mr. Li, this is a bit biased. You are well aware of the way, but now you are still staying in Shanzhou, why haven't you found a way to be promoted?"

"You don't understand this. Two years ago, I was still the magistrate of the Qixiang County, a seventh-rank magistrate. I can become a fifth-rank magistrate. This is the achievement. It will be three years soon. The court will conduct external investigations. At that time, work hard and promotion will be a natural thing."

"It's not necessarily the case. The prefect has just taken office. If you have a bad impression of you, how can you get promoted?"

"With money can make the devil push the mill. The prefect just took office. Of course, he has to show integrity. After a long time, it is not the same. I have seen many such officials. I just said that this inspection is not a bluff, and the articles here are big."

Qu Qingze looked at Li Zixiong and didn't say anything. He was a little interested. He didn't expect that Li Zixiong could speak such a big truth, which sounded interesting.

"This kind of inspection is actually to warn the officials below to be clear about their identities and to find out the current situation. If the prefect changes, the ones that should be filial should be filial. If anyone does not know the current affairs, he will definitely be unable to sit steadily."

Qu Qingze shook his head. It seemed that Li Zixiong was not bad. He really put a lot of effort into observing his words and expressions and comprehensions. He was not a fool, but unfortunately his mind was useless. Or after Su Tiancheng came to Henan Prefecture, he could understand the situation in time and make changes, and he would not fall into the current situation.

"Mr. Li, you have said so much, can you listen to me?"

"Mr. Qu said that everything is easy to discuss."

"What I said may not sound good. In fact, you are still very good and have many ideas. If you use these ideas in the key points, it may not be the current situation. The prefect just came to Henan Prefecture and wanted to do something. Why can't you figure it out? The prefect came to Shanzhou to check related matters. At that time, I thought you understood something, but I didn't expect you to understand nothing. It's a pity."

Li Zixiong's face turned bad again.

"What does Master Qu mean by saying this? Are you thinking about enforcing the law impartially? I have been talking so hard for so long. Do you really don't understand?"

Qu Qingze nodded slightly.

"You are right, after talking for so long, it will be difficult for you. As the governor of Shanzhou, you are appointed by the imperial court. Not to mention what you have done before, the magistrate came to Henan Prefecture and wanted to do something, but you didn't listen. You secretly tried your best to fight. I was trusted to come to Shanzhou to check related matters. You tried every means to conceal it. After being exposed, you actually wanted to kill someone to silence. Who do you think you are? Just say that you are so vicious, will I join you in the same way?"

Li Zixiong's face turned pale and he stood up.

"Qu Qingze, if you don't eat toast, please stop blaming me. Next year is your death day. Don't worry, I have told you so much, but I still feel that you are worth making friends. Every year in the future, I will burn paper for you. When I get there, I will think about more things in my mind."

After Li Zixiong finished speaking, he slapped three times.

There was no movement outside, Li Zixiong was a little anxious and slapped three times hard again, but still no response.

"Li Zixiong, no need. Even if you slap your hands, no one will rush out. If you don't believe it, go out and take a look."

Li Zixiong's face was still ashen. He was skeptical. This was the state yamen and it was impossible for ordinary people to come in. He had already made arrangements. Most of the soldiers in the inspection department were ambushed around, waiting for his own signal. His previous staff left silently, just to arrange for the soldiers in the inspection department to go. Did he say that something was wrong?

But there is no such possibility. The staff member has clearly come in and said hello specifically, meaning that everything has been arranged. This staff member is absolutely trustworthy and is very cautious in doing things.

Suddenly, Li Zixiong thought of all the words Qu Qingze said and connected them together. He suddenly realized that although he had made all preparations, Qu Qingze might have prepared more fully.

Qu Qingze knew about this situation, including the magistrates of each county and the magistrate Su Tiancheng knew about it. Since he dared to fight back, wouldn't he make any preparations?

Thinking of this, Li Zixiong's body began to tremble, and he walked out of the second hall tremblingly.

Everything in front of him stunned him.

The staff had been tied up and knelt outside. The soldiers of the inspection department had their weapons confiscated and all knelt behind.

The people who were guarding these people were soldiers in Jiangning Camp wearing armor. Judging from the number of people, there were at least more than a hundred people.

"Pu" Li Zixiong collapsed on the ground, and he knew that everything was over.

I made all the preparations carefully, but in the end I was still trapped in a bigger network. In fact, the prefect had already prepared, and maybe I still hoped that I would do this.

Li Zixiong felt cold all over. He claimed to have a thorough understanding of the worldly style of the officialdom and to understand the mystery. He never thought that this time, he was defeated so miserably. Everything was planned so clearly whether Su Tiancheng was a human or a devil.

There is no medicine for regret in the world, and nothing can be saved.

Qu Qingze also walked out and saw Li Zixiong lying on the ground, with a sneering expression on his face.
