After hearing Di Renjie's words, Zhao Yifang was furious and shouted loudly: "What a clever mouth! After a while, I will let you know what life is worse than death!"

As he said that, he patted the agglomeration and shouted loudly: "Bold and unruly people, when you see me, you will not only not kneel down, but also speak shamelessly. I will hereby condemn you for your contempt! Come on! Stop me fifty boards, regardless of life or death!"

Di Renjie stood in the hall and saw the yamen runners on both sides rushing up, and shouted angrily: "Who dares to act rashly?" A roar was so majestic that it shocked the yamen runners and looked at each other and dared not move forward.

Seeing this, Zhao Yifang was furious and shouted at the yamen runners: "I won't come forward yet!"

At this time, the master standing beside Zhao Yifang was secretly surprised to see Di Renjie's performance, and quickly lowered his head and whispered a few times with Zhao Yifang. After hearing the master's words, Zhao Yifang looked at Di Renjie again, panted and suppressed his anger in his heart, and snorted heavily.

The yamen runners standing under the mission untied the ropes on the five people, waved their hands again, and the yamen runners quickly retreated. Zhao Yifang took a deep breath and said coldly: "If the master hadn't said good things for you, now, you would have been fragile!"

Di Renjie looked at Zhao Yifang disdainfully and sneered. Zhao Yifang was secretly angry when he saw this and slapped the awkward: "What's your name? Where is the man? What's the business? What's the matter for me in Jingzhou? I won't give me some real tricks!"

Di Renjie sneered and said slowly: "I am here, my surname is Di, his name is Renjie, and he is from Bingzhou. He is a senior secretary of Longtu Pavilion, and was appointed as an envoy to be demoted to the commander of the Jingzhou Grand Commander! He is ordered by the imperial envoy to all military and political affairs in Jingzhou!"

...

The hall became silent for a moment, and everyone was stunned, especially Zhao Yifang's cold sweat immediately oozed out of his forehead.

Zhao Yifang's eyes suddenly turned, he slapped the agglomeration and shouted: "Bold and unruly people, how dare you pretend to be the imperial envoy! Do you say you are the imperial envoy, do you have any certificate?"

Di Renjie looked at Zhao Yifang coldly, waved his hand to Li Yuanfang beside him. Li Yuanfang nodded and took out a bright yellow brocade cover from his arms, raised it above his head, and said aloud: "The imperial edict is here!"

Seeing this, Zhao Yifang couldn't help but tremble, and his mind was in chaos and didn't know how to deal with it. Seeing this, Li Yuanfang shouted at Zhao Yifang: "Zhao Yifang, you are so brave. You don't kneel when you see the imperial edict?"

At this moment, a neat footsteps came from outside the hall. Di Renjie turned around and looked out the hall. He saw a hundred thousand-magic guards in military uniforms entering the front yard of the hall, saluting Di Renjie, and then placing them on both sides with swords.

Soon, a large group of purple-robed officials walked in bustlingly. When they arrived in the yard, they stood in order according to their grades. The leader was a fat-faced official with a big belly and a fat face. He lifted his clothes and knelt on his knees and said, "Prince, Jingzhou Governor Zhu Guozhi led Jingzhou officials to welcome the imperial envoy!" The officials behind him also knelt down and shouted to pay homage.

Di Renjie hurriedly walked out of the hall, smiled and bowed to the Jingzhou officials kneeling on the ground, saying, "Please get up, sir!" Hearing Di Renjie's words, Zhu Guozhi led the crowd to thank him, and then stood up. After saying that, Di Renjie turned around and entered the hall. Seeing this, Zhu Guozhi and others hurriedly followed him into the hall.

At this time, Zhao Yifang's mind was still in chaos, and he stood on the side of the case without hesitation, forgot to retreat to the audience. Zhu Guozhi entered the hall and couldn't help but cough and said, "Mr. Zhao! Is it too rude for you to stand on the side of the case so openly? You shouldn't get down quickly! Stand down on the side."

Zhao Yifang suddenly woke up and hurried down to Di Renjie and bowed, "I am humble and rude, I hope the imperial envoy will forgive me!"

Di Renjie laughed and waved his hand and said, "It's just Lord Zhao!" Zhao Yifang hurriedly stepped aside and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his hands.

Di Renjie walked to the case and sat down, pointed to Li Yuanfang on the right side next to him and said, "This is Li Yuanfang, the general of the Qianniu Guard who was appointed by the emperor to follow the Zuo Ben Pavilion!" He pointed to Zeng Tai on the left and said, "This is Zeng Tai, the censor of Jingzhou, the imperial censor!"

When the officials in the hall saw Di Renjie's introduction, they hurriedly bowed and said, "I have met two sirs!" Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai also hurriedly bowed and returned the gift.

Di Renjie coughed softly and said seriously: "General Li, Xuan Shengyu!"

Li Yuanfang bowed to Di Renjie, raised his imperial edict and said loudly: "The governor of Jingzhou, general of Jingzhou and other subordinates, welcome the sages!"

All the officials in the hall fell to the ground and shouted: "Long live the imperial edict, long live! Long live! Long live!"

Seeing the officials kneeling down and bowing, Li Yuanfang picked up the imperial edict and bowed to Di Renjie. Di Renjie took it with both hands and slowly spread it:

"In accordance with the heavens, the emperor ordered: Now there is a sudden flood in Jingzhou, causing the displaced people. I am very worried about it! Jingzhou is a national vein and is particularly important! Because he specially sent the cabinet to participate in politics, the Grand Secretary of Longtu Pavilion Di Renjie was demoted to the ambassador of Huguang Road and the governor of Jingzhou. He promoted all military and political affairs in Jingzhou to patrol and inspect the people's conditions, provide relief to the people, rectify the administration of officials, and do things in a cheap way. He goes like I personally! I admire this!"

All the officials said in unison: "Long live! Long live! Long live!" Di Renjie put away the imperial edict and handed it to Li Yuanfang. He smiled and said, "Sir, please get up!" The officials kowtowed again and stood up.

After Di Renjie was in the case, he glanced at the officials of Jingzhou in the hall and said in a righteous voice: "My lords, this time, our cabinet has received the grace of the holy, and has promoted the deposed envoy of Huguang Road. This is for the people's livelihood, floods and administration, and the saints are uneasy." As he said, he looked at Zhao Yifang and said: "After entering Jingzhou, all the way to see and hear, all the things that are seen and heard are Zhao Yibao, the brother of Zhao Yibao, who is domineering, bullying the good, and occupying the land of the people..."

Zhao Yifang raised his head in shock, and Di Renjie said again: "The local government office is in harmony with Zhao Yibao, causing the people to suffer, and there is no way to sue the officials, and the situation is worrying! Lord Zhao, what our cabinet says is not bad!"

Zhao Yifang's face was as dark as the face, and he coughed lightly, and went out to defend himself: "Sir! There are indeed people in the place who do evil under the banner of Zhao Yibao, but if it is said that it is because of Zhao Yibao that makes the people suffer, is it too much? After all, Zhao Yibao always gives money to buy land!"

When Di Renjie saw that Zhao Yibao forced his argument and sneered, "It's exaggerated? The slaves of the Zhao family are openly selling the land of the people in the countryside. Those who don't sell them will punch and kick them. Several people in the Zhaojiazhuang were beaten to death. Is this an exaggerated statement?"

Di Renjie continued: "The people in the countryside came to the yamen to file a lawsuit. Your subordinates would arrest the person who sued him regardless of the truth. They would kill him on the spot because the villagers were dissatisfied and struggled! Is this an exaggeration?"

The officials standing below were upset when they heard this, "What's the point of killing the people before the government office?" Some officials exclaimed.

Zhao Yibao's face turned red and white: "Big...sir...I..."

Di Renjie said again: "I won't say anything else. Your subordinate captain is powerful, fierce and domineering. He is unsure about beating the high-ranking fourth-rank Qianniu Guard General in the court. Is this an exaggeration?" When he heard Di Renjie beating the court general, the yamen runner standing beside him was pale and trembling all over, and he could hardly stand.

The officials in the hall were surprised and inexplicably said to themselves, "A little yamen runner dared to beat a fourth-rank general in the court. He was so impatient!"

This is Li Yuanfang, who also said coldly: "What should be the crime of beating the imperial envoy of the court?"

Zhao Yifang gritted his teeth and said, "The family should be confiscated and the clan should be exterminated!"

When the mao-faced yamen runner heard this, his legs trembled even more. He knelt on the ground with a "thump", kowtowed like pounding garlic, and shouted loudly: "The villain really doesn't know the identity of the general. I hope the general will forgive him! Let the young one be spared!"

Di Renjie stood up, spared the case and walked down and said, "You beat the imperial envoy for death, but you don't know it and you can still excuse me. However, you oppress the people and take down your lives without forgiveness! The person comes, take this thief! Drag it out of the gate and behead it for the public!"

Hearing the order, the Qianniu Guards stood outside the hall and tied the squid rope into the hall. The squid face was like a sifter, shaking constantly, and they struggled and shouted, "Sir! Sir! You'll never dare to do it again..."

Seeing the yamen runner shouting for mercy and being dragged down, all the officials in the hall were scared.

Di Renjie looked around with majestic glances at the officials in Jingzhou in the hall and said, "From today on, any official who dares to bully others, rushes around the countryside and exploits the people will be the same as this thief!"

All the officials in the Jingzhou court knelt down and shouted: "Abide by the order of utmost importance!"

Di Renjie returned to the hall and said, "Yuan Fang, Zeng Tai and you two immediately led the army to arrest Zhao Yibao and his thieves, and brought them to justice. They also told the local Zhao Mansion to return all the land occupied by the local Zhao Mansion to the people. Those who have wronged lawsuits must be tried strictly, and it is necessary to make the local government be governed and peaceful!"

Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai quickly bowed to accept the order.

After saying that, Di Renjie stared at Zhao Yifang coldly again, which made Zhao Yifang terrified and collapsed to the ground. He begged repeatedly: "Sir! The officials really don't know what they did, please observe clearly!"

Di Renjie snorted coldly and said, "This cabinet will clearly observe what you do! Come and confiscate Zhao Yifang's official clothes and seal, and throw them into the prison, and wait for the post to fall!" Qianniuwei came in and took Zhao Yifang's official clothes and took him down.

Di Renjie's series of actions made the officials in the hall frightened and uneasy, and the lobby was extremely quiet for a moment.

Seeing the atmosphere in the hall, Di Renjie smiled and said, "You don't need to panic, sir, the Zhao brothers do many evil things, they will do it themselves."

The national law punishes you, as long as you do your work impartially, you will be fine!”

Everyone bowed and bowed and said it was. Zhu Guozhi went out to bow and bowed and said, "As the governor of a state, he could not be aware of everything, which caused the Zhao brothers to be evil in the village, but they did not know at all. It was really a crime that was unforgivable!"

Di Renjie smiled and stroked his beard, saying, "Mr. Zhu, as the governor, you are in charge of Jingzhou and nourishing millions of people. Their responsibilities are so serious. It is impossible to be able to do everything in everything, and everyone can be aware of it. From the time we arrived in Xiangyang, we saw that the victims outside the city were managed by you in an orderly manner. People who were hungry in the capital were really great, and they were able to be called capable ministers and officials!"

Zhu Guozhi was moved to see Di Renjie praise him very much. Of course, he went south alone to Jingzhou and opened up the situation a little in countless difficulties. He didn't want a flood to kill him, and his depression was hard to express. Now the imperial envoy of the court affirmed his achievements in front of all the officials in Jingzhou, which made Zhu Guozhi's heart surging, his eyes flushed slightly, and he saluted Di Renjie with some sobs: "The officials... the officials should not be praised by the ministers, but it is the duty of the ministers!"

Seeing that Zhu Guozhi was like this, Di Renjie secretly praised in his heart. He waved his hand and said, "Our cabinet can only distinguish who it is. Lord Zhu doesn't have to say anything." After that, he said, "This cabinet escorts five million disaster relief silver to Jingzhou to provide relief to the people. You should use your life. If someone dares to intercept the silver privately, or fills his bags with his own pocket to test the law, our cabinet will definitely punish you strictly without lending!"

At this time, the officials in the hall were frightened several times and were already scared. They did not dare to be corrupt and abuse the law. They all bowed to the ground and shouted, "I dare not!"

...

With Di Renjie personally stationed in Xiangyang, how did officials in various prefectures and counties dare not to live? Zhao Yifang's lessons were right in front of him. With the measures of the court's money and grain to support the disaster victims for a while, the measures to help the victims were quickly launched with the care of officials from all walks of life.

Di Renjie would not stay in Xiangyang and left Zeng Tai to coordinate common affairs. He took Li Yuanfang and Ruyan and others to inspect various places in Jingzhou, investigate disaster relief matters, and investigate the local officials and people's customs.

After several times, although there have been strict orders from the imperial envoy, many officials still saw that it was profitable and tried their best to ingest the money for disaster relief, or falsely reported the disaster, lowered the relief standards or exploited them layer by layer, which could rack their brains and make a lot of thoughts. Di Renjie and others were deeply moved. Di Renjie naturally would not show mercy and killed these corrupt and perverted people one by one to serve as a warning.
