As the saying goes, pull out the radish and bring out the mud.
The corruption case in the Golden Phoenix Country was a typical example.
The entire Ningyuan Guard General Military Headquarters was swept up from top to bottom.
There were two deputy commanders, four generals, guerrilla generals, camp officers, garrisons, and even generals.
None of these people were not greedy.
However, Zhu Heng did not choose to wipe them all out.
Other than those who were extremely corrupt, as long as he had some ability, he could rope in the rest.
After all, Zhu Heng did not have so many trusted aides to fill these holes.
However, he had already done his best.
As the dust was about to settle on Ning Yuanwei's side.
Zhu Heng immediately decided to expand the business. He found a secret account book in the mansion of the Golden Phoenix Country.
With this trump card, he could do whatever he wanted. Even Chongzhen would not be able to say anything.
Besides, Chongzhen was someone who could not tolerate sand in his eyes.
If no one investigated, then nothing would happen. Once he found out that someone was greedy for his money, he would take the initiative to hand the butcher knife to Zhu Heng.
"Next target, Shanhaiguan General Li Ruzhen.”
Looking at the glaring name on the account book, Zhu Heng finally decided to make a move on him.
The reason was very simple. This arrogant but incompetent Chief Soldier Li did not really buy it.
After all, Li Chengliang had been guarding Liaodong for more than 40 years.
If he hadn't been impeached by the censor because of his extravagance and corruption, he would probably have been able to rise to a higher level.
Li Chengliang and Li Rusong, the most influential members of the Li family, were already dead.
However, the influence of the Li family could not be underestimated. It was normal that he did not buy Zhu Heng's words.
Since that was the case, how could he keep him?
Although the Li family had great influence in Liaodong, the highest official position was only him, the commander of Shanhaiguan.
Moreover, the Zu family's influence in Liaodong was not small.
Zhu Heng and the Zu family working together to deal with the Li family was a piece of cake.
As for whether this would allow the Zu family to dominate Liaodong, Zhu Heng was not worried at all.
To a small Zu Family, it was just a piece of dough in his hands that he could knead as he pleased.
After Li Ruzhen was taken down by Zhu Heng and his personal guards.
Instantly, the entire Liaodong officialdom was shaken.
Everyone thought that Zhu Heng was only targeting the Golden Phoenix Country, who had offended him before.
However, after Li Ruzhen was arrested, everyone understood that this corruption case was no longer limited to Ning Yuan.
This newly appointed Liaodong Military Governor obviously wanted to expand to the entire Liaodong.
His goal was naturally self-evident. He wanted to use this opportunity to reorganize the entire Liaodong officialdom.
Immediately, many of the officials began to panic.
At the same time, the Li family in Shanhaiguan also took action.
They couldn't just watch as Zhu Heng threw Li Ruzhen, their family head, into prison.
They wanted to counterattack.
When someone was worried, there would naturally be someone who was happy.
Zhu Heng's actions also gave hope to many people who had the ability but were not successful.
Of course, there were also some political speculators.
As more and more people were involved in this corruption case, more and more positions were vacated.
The entire Liaodong region was in turmoil because of this.
Very soon, the Li family came looking for him. The arrival of the person also surprised Zhu Heng.
In the hall of the Overseer's Office, Zhu Heng sat on the main seat and looked at the gentle woman standing in the middle of the hall.
"I am Li Wangshu, the eldest daughter of the Li family.”
"I've long heard of Uncle Pinglu's glorious battle achievements. I wanted to witness his bravery back then, but I didn't expect it to come true so soon.”
A person's voice was just like her voice. This gentle woman's tone was also extremely gentle. Listening to her speak was a kind of enjoyment.
Unfortunately, her entire face was covered by a veil, and her true appearance could not be seen.
However, from her eyes that were like stars, she was definitely a beautiful woman.
However, Zhu Heng wasn't someone who couldn't walk on the path when he saw a beautiful woman.
He couldn't help but chuckle as he stared at the woman in the arena and said,""What's wrong? Your Li family has no tricks up your sleeve. Are you trying to use a honey trap on me?”
The gentle woman's face turned slightly red, and her eyebrows furrowed slightly. A trace of anger flashed in her eyes.
"My Li family is full of loyalty. We won't use such despicable methods.”
"Although I am only a woman, I am also one of the leaders of the Li family and am in charge of the family business.”
The meaning of her words was also very obvious. She was telling Zhu Heng that she was not a vase.
Zhu Heng's interest was piqued.
"Oh? Looks like I've underestimated Miss Li. I'm very curious what bargaining chips you brought this time.”
Li w.a.n. gshu looked deeply at Zhu Heng and then slightly lowered his head.
"As long as Uncle Pinglu lets my brother go, my entire Li family will follow Uncle Pinglu's lead.”
Li w.a.n. gshu had obviously seen Li Ruzhen and understood why he was targeted by Zhu Heng.
She knew very well that the Li family wanted to establish themselves in Liaodong.
Then, they had to submit to this powerful Liaodong Overseer.
Otherwise, the Li family would probably be in danger of being destroyed in the future.
Moreover, this young Count Pinglu was known as the reincarnation of Huo Qubing.
At the age of 20, he became the Right Governor of the Ming Dynasty, the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, and the Liaodong Governor.
His future was limitless.
Since the Li family had already declined, if they wanted to rise again, they needed to report to someone.
A hint of surprise appeared in Zhu Heng's eyes.
He didn't expect the woman in front of him to be so decisive.
Moreover, since she was able to come here, she must have convinced the people in the family. It seemed that she had some tricks up her sleeve.
This made Zhu Heng very interested in this woman.
"Alright, but I have another condition.”
Li Wangshu raised his eyes and asked,"Please speak."”
Zhu Heng raised his eyebrows and said in a frivolous tone,"Take off your veil and let me have a look. I don't like others acting mysterious in front of me.”
Li w.a.n. gshu's body shook slightly and his hands hidden in his sleeves couldn't help but clench.
After a few seconds, she finally made a decision.
When the veil fell, even though he had seen many peerless beauties in the future, he could not help but feel stunned.
This made Zhu Heng's interest in her reach its peak.
Zhu Heng looked at her a few times until she felt uneasy.
"Very good, you've shown me your sincerity. I can let Li Ruzhen go, but I don't want to see him again.”
"Go and deal with his matters first before you come to see me. I have an errand for you.”
"If you do it well, I will ensure that your Li family will be rich forever.”
Li w.a.n. gshu's eyes flashed with joy. He bowed and said,"Thank you, Uncle Pinglu, for not killing me.”
