Chapter 110: House Arrest Surveillance
"Lord Wenshen, what kind of wind blew you here?" Liu Xian welcomed Wen Shen into the inn, deliberately ignoring the existence of the county lieutenant appointed by Yang Jie.
Suo Qi is one of the few people who practice martial arts among these landlords and tyrants in Yang's County, and he is only in his thirties now, looking strong and powerful, Liu Xian estimates that his strength is between Wang Bao and Wang Bao.
"It wasn't the wind that blew me here." Wen Shen said with a helpless expression: "The county lieutenant Suo came up with Wen Mou, and he was ordered by the county order to escort Wen to Julu County, and to state the truth of Yang's County to the Julu County government about the arrears of the government's purchase of their grain, and apply to the above for the allocation of relief funds for grain purchases. But they also asked the official to hand over the accounts owed to the government by Liu Xiangongzi, and they said that if I am not in the county, then the affairs of the county should be handled by the county commander himself. In this way, the white slip of the grain purchase money you owe to the government should also be kept by the government. ”
Liu Xian's heart sank, he really didn't expect Yang Jie's actions to be so fast and urgent, he had just delivered all the food, and he immediately sent someone to keep an eye on Wen Shen, and wanted to force Wen Shen to apply for a grant from above. And, even hit the idea on his head? Ask Wen for the white slip of the arrears he made to the government?
However, Liu Xian smiled quietly on his face and said, "Hehe, is the county magistrate a little in a hurry?" ”
"The county magistrate may not be at ease, after all, food is not a small number, and the amount of food owed to them is not a small amount. It's understandable to be in a hurry. Wen Shen carried the county lieutenant behind his back, but his eyes kept glancing at Liu Xian.
Liu Xian saw it in his eyes, and turned to Suo Qi and said: "County Lieutenant Suo, let Lord Wenshen apply to the above for the transfer of relief funds for grain purchases, please pass a word to the county order first." Let's just say that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, don't say that Yang's County is now in ruins, and basically has not carried out real governance of the people, and even the re-registration and population statistics required by the government above have not been done. In this way, there is no point for political achievements, so what can Lord Wenshen do to deal with the government above? Also, it has only been two or three days since Ben Gongzi gave soup and food to the people in Yangshi County, and Ben Gongzi is also very busy now, and he has not yet sent someone to the capital to say hello. If you do this, you will not be able to allocate funds at all. ”
"Liu Gongzi's words are wrong, haven't the people of Yangshi County already accepted the relief now? There should be no more starvations of people dying of hunger. Isn't it all slowly recovering? What's more, now the affairs of the county are presided over by our county magistrate, even if Wen County is not in Yang's County, there will be no problem. Now the people of Yangshi County can live and work in peace and contentment. Therefore, it is good to apply to the government above for allocation, after all, it is not possible to apply for transfer all at once. You say, don't you? ”
Suo Qi didn't agree to pass the word to Yang Jie, the county commander, anyway, he said a reason.
"Haha......" Liu Xian laughed, pointed and said: "To say that you are not sensible is not sensible, do you think that the government's money is so easy to take?" If it's really that easy, okay, you can go as you go, anyway, I'll put it here. If you can get it, my Liu Xian's name is written upside down. I advise you to go and talk to the prefectural magistrate. ”
After Liu Xian finished speaking, he said to him: "In addition, those arrears I owe to the government for food, Lord Wenshen will hand them over to the government, anyway, the grain you owe to your government must be returned, and the IOU is in your hand or in the hand of the county order, it is the same." ”
"Huh? It's not ...... No, Liu Xiangongzi, is this a little inappropriate? Wen Shen was shocked when he saw that Liu Xian actually agreed to hand over the IOU to Yang Jie, the county commander, because if these were in Yang Jie's hands, Yang Jie would be able to openly ask Liu Xian for the arrears of grain, which was not a small amount, it was more than 50 million yuan.
Wen Shen gave Liu Xian a look, just to find an opportunity to talk to Liu Xian alone and see what could be done. He felt that Liu Xian's IOUs could not fall into the hands of Yang Jie and them. I am worried that it will bring great trouble to Liu Xian in the future.
Liu Xian stepped forward and said to Wen Shen: "There's nothing wrong with it, just give it to him." ”
"W-Do you really want to give this?"
"It's really fine."
"Okay then......" Wen Shen saw that Liu Xian agreed, and he had nothing to say.
Liu Xian turned to Suo Qi and said, "How is it?" So satisfied, right? Wen County Cheng still needs to stay in Yang's County for the time being, at least the situation in the entire Yang's County must be almost managed. You can't even afford to wait for a few days, right? My arrears are all in your hands, even if the government fails to apply for the money, I, Liu Xian, will return the money to the government. Then you will be able to pay for your food. ”
"Good! This is what Liu Xian said, Gongzi yourself. Suo Qi's face was finally happy, and he said happily: "Then I will go with Wen Xiancheng to state these things to the county magistrate now." ”
"Please, I have something to do right now." Liu Xian made a gesture to see off the guest.
"Hmm...... Come! Suo turned around with satisfaction, and then shouted to the officers and soldiers outside the inn: "Leave two teams of men and horses to protect this Qian Inn." Yang Lie, Bao Tie, you two uncles, you must protect Liu Xian's son without leaving an inch. If Liu Xiangongzi needs to go out of the city to do business, he must report to the captain as soon as possible, and the county lieutenant will personally accompany Liu Xiangongzi to leave the city on business. ”
"What? Lieutenant Suo, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you still dare to restrict Liu Xiangongzi's freedom of action? Wen Shen's face changed at this time, he didn't expect that this county commander Yang Jie not only wanted to send people to keep an eye on him, but even Liu Xian didn't let go, and he didn't shy away from it at all, directly in front of him and Liu Xian, in the name of protecting Liu Xian, in fact, he wanted to monitor and control Liu Xian.
They are doing this just in case, in case the government fails to allocate the money, then they really have to make up their minds about Liu Xian.
Suo Qi, this county lieutenant, like Wang Bao, can command up to 200 officers and soldiers. Now they have sent two teams of officers and soldiers with a full hundred people to guard the Qian Inn, what are they trying to do?
Liu Xian didn't care, grabbed Wen Shen, didn't let Wen Shen question him again, and said to him: "Lord Wenshen, don't be nervous, this time I went to see the county commander, and I applied to him to inspect the subordinate villages and towns around Yang's County, the situation in our county is so difficult, I believe that the situation in the villages and towns below will be worse, and now everything is still focused on helping the people and helping the people." ”
"This ...... All right. ”
