The person Liu Changqing asked for Xiao Yuan was Qi Ying.

Qi Ying is a person who investigates murder cases, and he has a set.

However, if he is asked to investigate the corruption case of officials, it will definitely not work, but if he cooperates with Liu Changqing, it will have to be said twice.

What's more, he is strong in martial arts, and he can also protect his safety by the side of Liu Changqing, an upright civil official.

Seeing that he was still in shock, Ye Cheng smiled again and said, "Xiao Qi, this time may be an opportunity, if you do it well, the future is immeasurable." ”

Hearing this, Qi Ying also suddenly became excited, and hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Thank you for your promotion!" ”

"Huh?" Ye Cheng waved his hand: "It's not my intention this time, but someone named you." ”

"Let's go and get ready."

"No!"

Two days later, outside the east gate of Qinzhou.

Liu Changqing and Qi Ying were both dressed in civilian clothes, and the latter also carried a burden on his shoulders, obviously acting as Liu Changqing's entourage.

"Come, take it." First, Liu Changqing said, and at the same time handed over a sharp sword.

"What is this?" Qi Ying took it in confusion.

"The King's Sabre."

"What!?" Qi Ying was shocked when he heard this.

Liu Changqing looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Put it away and keep it carefully, if this sword is lost, you and I will not be able to protect our heads." ”

"Yes, yes, I understand, please rest assured." Qi Ying swallowed his saliva, hurriedly and carefully wrapped the sword of King Qin, and tied it tightly to himself.

After doing this, he couldn't help but say: "My lord, since you have been appointed as the inspector of Liangzhou, and Wang Jian is here, then in the opinion of humble duty, why not directly reveal your identity, sit in Liangzhou, and then peel off the cocoon to find out the truth." ”

What he said is equivalent to controlling the scene of the murder and then looking for clues.

Obviously, a major corruption case involves officialdom and is not comparable to ordinary cases.

Liu Changqing also shook his head and said: "No, if the upper and lower officials know in advance that the official is coming, they will definitely urgently pack up the official documents, use their authority, arrange everything, and fill in the loopholes, and when we arrive, it will be an airtight wall." ”

"Well, what the adults said is not unreasonable." Qi Ying nodded and asked again, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Let's hurry first."

The two were dressed in civilian clothes, and one rode a horse, galloping on the official road.

Rushing all the way, resting in the middle, not mentioning these, when Liu Changqing arrived at the cool land, it was already a few days later.

Under the rule of Jinling, Fu'an County.

At present, it seems to be in time to catch the market, in the morning, the county is very lively, the streets can be described as people coming and going, the sound of selling is endless.

The two led the horses and walked in the market, Qi Ying said: "It seems that this place is still very prosperous, the small county town is so lively." ”

"Liangguo has a foundation, and the foundation of local counties and townships is better than that of Qindi." Liu Changqing said: "With the addition of my country's decree, people's livelihood will only be richer, and it is reasonable to have this phenomenon." ”

"Judging from this, how do you know if the officials here are corrupt." Qi Ying said.

Liu Changqing shook his head: "The surface of the bazaar can only show that the people's livelihood is not bad, and it cannot be generalized. ”

Having said this, he also stretched out his hand towards Qi Ying: "Borrow some money." ”

"What?" Qi Ying didn't react a little.

"Don't you smell such fragrant pancakes?" Liu Changqing said with a smile, not to mention how thick his skin was.

"......" Qi Ying was speechless for a while, and said with a sad face: "I said my lord, the lowly officials are lowly, you won't buy a cake, and you have to cheat the lowly money, right?" ”

"Oh, you don't talk nonsense, I forgot to bring money when I went out, besides, I don't know, your Lord Ye, has complained to the king several times, and how much benefit has been won for you, you officers, life is nourishing!" Liu Changqing said.

"......" Qi Ying was speechless again, and had to take out a broken silver from his arms with great reluctance.

"It's stingy." Liu Changqing didn't forget to mutter.

You know, he is the Liangzhou Inspector, if this spreads, it will have to make people laugh off their big teeth, and it is estimated that he will not even have Xiao Yuan's face light.

The two of them had just bought two pancakes in front of the stall, when a commotion broke out in the street ahead.

"Get out of the way! All up! ”

"Get out of the way!"

There are government officials who are opening the way ahead.

Behind is a luxurious carriage, protected from the market, which can only walk slowly.

The horse's hooves trampled lightly, and the carriage passed by the two men.

Looking at this scene, Liu Changqing also asked curiously at the stall owner, "Who is this?" Such a big shelf. ”

The hawker stall owner tiptoed and looked: "Two outsiders, right?" Don't know this? The concubine of the county lord Xinna. ”

"Oh?" Hearing this, Liu Changqing's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked: "It's just a concubine of the county order, is that so?" ”

"What's this? Who is the county master? This is just one of them, I heard that during this time, the county lord has already accepted seven or eight concubines. The stall owner said casually, anyway, it has nothing to do with their people.

But when he heard these words in Liu Changqing's ears, he had to make him think deeply, and he couldn't help but glance at Qi Ying.

Qin State officials, it is normal to take concubines, and with the problems of the times, Xiao Yuan has never had any restrictions in this regard.

But a small county order takes seven or eight concubines, which is a problem.

Ordinary concubines, most of whom are beautiful young women, if they accept one, they will have to get some money, with their official salaries, how can they afford to raise so much?

After the two of them left the stall and walked to a secluded place, Qi Ying didn't forget to say: "My lord, it seems that the Fu'an County Order is much richer than you?" ”

"Interesting." Liu Changqing said with a smile.

"What are you going to do?"

Liu Changqing thought for a while and said: "Since you think there is a problem, then check it, start with the county order, and it will not lose a good entry point, as you said, with his identity, he must not have any defenses now, and we will catch him off guard." ”

At the same time, in the Fu'an County Government.

Directly above the main seat, there was a middle-aged man, and the Fu'an County Commander sat next to him, looking respectful, obviously, the man was his superior.

After frowning, the man immediately said: "You have been too ostentatious during this time, taking many concubines, be careful of causing trouble." ”

"What's this, what's this?" Fu'an County ordered: "Can my country have a clear rule that officials are not allowed to take concubines? What's more, the lower officials govern a county in Fu'an, and they do not exploit the people, everything is done in accordance with the national decree, who can say anything? ”

"But your official salary is not enough to support it." The man said.

"This ......" The Fu'an County Commander first paused, and then laughed: "Such a trivial matter, Lord He Lao will personally run it." ”

"Stupid!" The man scolded unceremoniously, then got up and walked away.
