    Wang Qi ordered: "Someone, please escort Zeng Zigong up."

    The order was passed on, and after a while, Zeng Zigong was brought up.  He was now in a trance and uneasy.  As soon as the man entered the camp, he immediately knelt on the ground with a plop, knocked his head on the ground, and cried bitterly: "King Qi, the sinner is guilty. The sinner is willing to confess truthfully. I beg King Qi to spare my life!"

    Wang Qi did not answer Zeng Zigong¡¯s words and said: ¡°Now, tell the truth about your crime.¡±

    "Yes, yes, the sinner will give his account."

    Zeng Zigong replied.

    As soon as Wang Qi waved, a soldier handed over pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Zeng Zigong took it. He did not hide anything and wrote everything down truthfully.  Because of the circumstances of this case, even Li Shanquan and others were arrested, and everyone was blamed. He couldn't hide at all, so he could only confess honestly and strive for Wang Qi's leniency.

    Zeng Zigong wrote down the crimes he committed one by one, many of which overlapped with Li Shanquan's information.

    The only thing that doesn¡¯t overlap is that it involves Zuo Yuneng.  When it comes to the governor Zuo Yuneng, Zeng Zigong pays bribes every month.  But it was mainly bribery and nothing else was involved.

    Longying was captured with Zuo Yuneng¡¯s participation.  If not, Longying, the leader of a county, would not have been captured directly, and would have been sent to the Ministry of Punishment for questioning.

    After Wang Qi read it, he said in a deep voice: "Zeng Zigong, as a parent official of Zhang'an County, let alone your plans to become an official. After you took office, instead of benefiting the people, you acted as an aide, oppressed the people, and treated them as  If you are a pig or a dog, you deserve to die."

    Zeng Ziggong said: "King Qi, I have confessed everything. You said you would spare my life."

    Wang Qidao: "When did I, the king, say that I would spare your life?"

    "Spare your life? How can I explain to the people if I spare you? How can these people who were oppressed by you to the point of ruining their families feel at ease? How can the people who were massacred as a result of your collusion with Japanese people rest in peace?"

    "As a parent officer, you don't look like a parent officer at all.,"

    Wang Qi's eyes were full of coldness. He even leaned forward slightly and said, "When you were an official and did evil, did you ever think about sparing the lives of the people and giving them a way to live?"

    Zeng Zigong¡¯s expression suddenly stiffened, and there was a look of fear on his face.

    Wang Qi is determined to kill him.

    Zeng Zigong said quickly: "King Qi, I know where the Japanese live, and I am willing to lead the way. I just ask King Qi to let me live. Even if I am exiled, I will admit it."

    Wang Qidao: "You are still stubborn until now. Unless people like you die, the resentment of the people cannot be eliminated. Anyone who comes, please drag him to custody first, and then kill him at the public trial tomorrow."

    "yes!"

    The soldiers dragged Zeng Zigong down.

    Zeng Zigong struggled and said: "Wang Qi, you are so cold-blooded, you will regret it."

    Wang Qidao: "I never regret it."

    Not long after, Zeng Zigong was dragged down, and only Wang Qi and Zhou Zishan were left in the camp.

    Zhou Zishan said with emotion: "Your Highness, these officials, as long as they are in power and monopolize power, once they harm the people, the impact will be too great."

    Wang Qi nodded and said: "Zeng Zigong is an official in vain, but if local officials do not have the rights, it will be very difficult for them to administer local affairs and govern a country. Rights are a double-edged sword.  If used well, there will be many benefits. If used improperly, it will backfire on itself, and there is nothing we can do about it. If there are too many local constraints, it will be difficult for officials to achieve political achievements."

    Zhou Zishan said: "What His Highness said is true."

    "Report!"

    At this moment, Li Wuji entered and reported: "Your Highness, Chen Qinglong and Qin An want to see you."

    Wang Qidao: "Let them come in."

    "yes!"

    Li Wuji turned around to inform.

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

    Chen Qinglong said: "Your Highness, we have already asked the three intelligence bureau personnel captured. They are in cahoots with Zeng Zigong. They have accepted Li Shanquan's money and ignored the news about the Japanese. They have not reported any news to the Central Intelligence Agency.  I don¡¯t even know. The personnel of the Intelligence Bureau were negligent in their duties and it was due to my negligence in management. I am guilty, please forgive me.¡±

    Wang Qidao: "This matter has nothing to do with you. I know your character. It just involves the Intelligence Bureau, and management must be strengthened. Local personnel, if this is the case, simply don't do it."

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

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

    Qin An said: "Two people from the Supervision Department are responsible for supervising the situation in Zhang'an County. The people from the Supervision Department, like the Intelligence Bureau, are also in cahoots with Zeng Zigong and have also received money from the Li family. People from the three parties colluded together to frame up  Long Ying was killed. Now the two people from the Supervision Department are constantly begging for mercy and hoping for leniency."

    Wang Qi said coldly: "This Japanese invasion has caused such huge casualties. The people of the Supervision Department have no shirking responsibility. They even colluded with Zeng Zigong and still want to be treated leniently? How is it possible?"

    "I will never give up until I kill them."

    "The order is passed down. Zeng Zigong, Li Shanquan, and people from the Supervision Department and the Intelligence Bureau will be executed outside Nancheng at noon tomorrow. This matter will be announced to the entire people of Zhang'an County."

    Wang Qi was very angry.

    The situation in Zhang'an County this time was beyond his expectation.  Not only was he corrupt, but he also colluded with the Japanese.

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

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

    Wang Qidao: "Say!"

    Zhou Zishan said: "When Li Shanquan and others are executed tomorrow, it can be said that Li Shanquan colluded with the Japanese. There is no need to mention Zeng Zigong's collusion with the Japanese. After all, Zeng Zigong is an official and represents the Qi court. Once Zeng Zigong colluded with the Japanese  , the people are in an uproar and are easily disappointed with the court."

    Wang Qi shook his head and said: "There is nothing to say. This matter is just to be told and let the people know. At the same time, it is also to let the people know my determination to rectify things."

    Zhou Zishan sighed after hearing this. He couldn't persuade Wang Qi to do what he decided.

    Wang Qi said: "Go down and rest, I, the king, will be quiet for a while."

    "yes!"

    Zhou Zishan stood up and resigned.

    Wang Qi was sitting alone in the tent, with a solemn expression on his face.  Because of Zeng Zigong's incident, a real situation suddenly opened up. This is the case in the local area. There must be many such situations in Qi State.

    Wang Qi is a little decadent.

    These people are really inappropriate people.

    However, this trace of Wang Qi's decadence was crushed in the blink of an eye.  He cheered up and his murderous intention arose.

    If there is corruption, it will be dealt with.

    Whoever is corrupt will be killed by him.

    Wang Qi didn¡¯t believe that anyone¡¯s head could compare to his sword.  What's more, if the world is at peace and nothing happens in Qi, wouldn't it be too boring?

    Wang Qi's thoughts gradually calmed down.

    He is looking forward to the killing tomorrow.

    Kill one to scare hundreds, kill chickens to scare monkeys, and let everyone in Qi know what happened to Zeng Zigong in Zhang'an County.  As long as someone dares to commit corruption, this is a lesson learned from the past.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
