Since he was engaged, Lord Wei's children were all taken away by Lord Qiao, so he didn't dare to testify, so he could only whisper back in a weak voice: "Lord Qiao doesn't know about this matter."

Nangong Keqing snorted coldly, "What you said about not knowing is collusion with bandits to secretly communicate news, or is it referring to buying-official betrayal?" ”

"Xiaguan...... Xia Guan ......, "Which of these is a capital crime!" Lord Wei even trembled when he spoke, trembling like a sieve.

"Come on, bring people to prisoners, bandit leaders." Nangong Keqing called the nickname unprofessionally.

At this time, the jailer in the cell crawled and panicked: "The county lord...... Bandits, bandits committed suicide by poisoning overnight. ”

At this moment, Lord Qiao showed a smug smile, "The bandit committed suicide in fear of crime, and you can't convict this official without evidence." ”

At this point, Master Qiao finally showed the appearance of a villain, which was very rampant.

He shouted unconvinced: "County lord, according to the law of Liuli Kingdom, there is no evidence, you can't convict, a county lord dares to convict the court officials, and the official will sue and meet the emperor."

Nangong Keqing narrowed her eyes, and her cold gaze made people feel stunned, "Master Qiao, how did you conclude that these bandits committed suicide in fear of crime?" Are you sure you're not killing people? ”

"This ...... What is this not suicide in fear of sin? Master Qiao said with some humility.

"Master Qiao, you are really the master who does not cry when he sees the coffin. Okay, the lord of this county will let you die clearly, what is the death of a bandit? If you want to play death with the lord of this county, you are not qualified. ”

Lord Qiao was a little frightened, the momentum of this county lord made his battle-hardened official authority be severely suppressed, and he didn't know what bad things would happen next.

Nangong Keqing threw the letters ruthlessly uncovered from Lord Qiao's mansion one by one in front of him, "This is the evidence of your collusion with Lord Wei in exchange for Shang Jia's information. ”

Master Qiao reached out and picked up a letter, it was the letter in the secret room of his study, how could it be in the hands of the county lord?

"If not enough, there are still ...... here It's all evidence of your collusion with the bandits. Nangong Keqing said as she took out dozens of letters in her hand, and the name of Lord Qiao, Qiao Fengshan, was written impressively.

Coincidentally, I received a secret letter from Heizi last night, which contained Qiao Fengshan's correspondence, but Nangong Keqing laughed badly.

God help me!

"It's all fake." Master Qiao kept shirking, but he didn't admit it.

"Don't admit your guilt, do you! Okay, the lord of this county will show you someone. ”

At this time, the six sons of the secret guard walked in with a person and said, "My subordinates have been guarding outside the cell for five nights, and finally let my subordinates catch the poisoner."

Liuzi kicked down angrily and kicked the poisoned person to his knees, "It's him, he is Qiao Fengshan's personal guard, and he sneakily came twice, this is the poison that his subordinates found from him." ”

Nangong Keqing knelt on the table, looked at him coldly, and said, "Master Qiao, do you know this person?" Dare you say that it is a bandit who committed suicide in fear of crime? Where did he get the poison? Explain to the lord of the county. ”

Lord Qiao broke out in a cold sweat, closed his eyes and didn't dare to look at it, and flatly denied it, "This official ...... I don't know. ”

"Master Joe...... Lord Qiao, save your subordinates! The guards were a little frightened and asked for help.

"Your adults don't know you...... Then you can only think that you deserve to be unlucky, come on, drag it out and behead ......" Nangong Keqing threatened.

In the face of such a threat, such a battle, the guards were terrified, and he cried and shouted: "My lord, help, the villain is doing something for you!" You can't ignore the villain! Didn't you let the little ones cast this poison? The villain doesn't want to die......"

Suddenly, Master Qiao couldn't support it, his body shook, and he shouted to the kneeling guards: "You dare to slander the imperial court officials...... Say, "Who commanded you?" ”

The guards trembled, looking at the strange Lord Qiao in front of them aggrievedly, unable to speak.

Nangong Keqing looked at Lord Wei who was trembling on the side, and asked in a long voice, "Wei ...... My lord? ”

"The lower officials are recruited, and the lower officials are recruited...... Lord Qiao and Lord Qiao tied up the children of the ministers, and the lower officials didn't dare to identify them......" Lord Wei cried and said it all out.

Nangong Keqing stood up suddenly, her eyes were extremely sharp, and her voice was cold and solemn: "As an official of the imperial court, you don't do anything, but do such a thing that hurts heaven and reason, the evidence of the crime is conclusive, and you are still stubborn when you die, what does the court want you to do?" ”

"The Book of the People, framing the court officials, colluding with bandits, which is not a capital crime? Not to mention the crime of buying-selling officials. Someone comes, press down the two adults, and behead them at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon. ”

Master Qiao panicked, scared, and shouted angrily: "You don't have the right to kill the official of the imperial court, this official has to face the saint."

"Oh! The lord of this county forgot to tell you that before leaving, my father put the northern county under the jurisdiction of Rong'an County, and now, the lord of this county is the lord of the entire northern county and Rong'an County, and he can formulate laws to sanction court officials, you, why not accept it? "In other words, now North County is subordinate to Rongan County, and the county is the largest.

Qiao Fengshan was completely stupid and sat on the ground.

Nangong Keqing slapped the shocked wood and said sharply: "Drag it down." ”

The people watching all cheered.

The matter came to an end, and all that remained was to completely rectify Rong'an County, and she ordered Lord Du to be the prefect of Rong'an County and the county guard of Beijun for the time being.

Nangong Keqing wrote two letters, one to the emperor, explaining everything in Rong'an County, and asking the emperor to reappoint an official to serve in Bei County.

The other letter to Yu Ling, mainly saying that Rong'an County needs economic construction, and will select a group of suitable candidates for hot pot restaurants, Sihe Medical Halls, and Ni Xiang Yuyi Pavilion and other shops, and rush to Rong'an County to set up a branch as soon as possible.

At the same time, Nangong Keqing posted notices throughout Rong'an County and North County: first, Lord Du's rehabilitation; Second; The county guard of Beijun and Lord Wei were charged with many crimes.

The third issue is the return and compensation of the abducted businessmen and their families, as well as the issue of attracting investment.

As long as the hijacked businesses are willing to come to Rong'an County to invest or do business, there are corresponding subsidies, such as these hijacked businesses are unwilling to invest or do business, they will also compensate for certain economic losses.

Fourth, Beijun is subordinate to Rong'an County, and Du Daren is the governor of Rong'an County, Li Jiaotou played a decisive role in this incident, he is loyal and loyal, and was named a thousand soldiers by Nangong Keqing. He was in charge of the entire prefect's officers and soldiers.

Nangong Keqing's intention was to let everyone know the inside story, and a verdict had been made.

In addition, she wants to let all businesses know the importance she attaches to Rong'an County, as well as the idea of attracting investment, building and developing Rong'an County, changing the status quo of Rong'an County, and making Rong'an County become a large county with the most settlements and the strongest economic development.

Moreover, in order to invigorate the economy, Nangong Keqing issued an announcement to exempt the people from taxes for one year.

Nangong Keqing handed over the 30 million taels that were stolen from the homes of Lord Qiao and Lord Wei and the 20 million that the bandits' nests had paid to Lord Du.

These dirty funds were used as the enabling funds for attracting investment, as well as the overall arrangement of return and compensation, and those people and businessmen were very happy, if it were not for the county lord, how could they still have such a good thing.

Nangong Keqing began to reform in Rong'an County in a big way.

She recorded the entire management idea of Rong'an County in detail and formulated a series of plans.

When this detailed plan was placed in front of Lord Du, Lord Du was surprised, and said that the county lord Jingguo would not let him shave his eyebrows, and he could go into battle to kill the enemy.

But not only that, it turns out that she also knows how to govern the country, in addition to her admiration for the county lord, Lord Du is more impressed by the talent of the county lord, and she is completely obedient.

And the content of this reform: first, she established perfect laws, one of which is that the Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people;

Second, reform internal affairs, develop productive forces, reward farming, and develop animal husbandry;

Third, we should strengthen the construction of people's livelihood, pay attention to education, and build schools. and other housing, medical care, etc. Fourth, develop trade in all walks of life.

After learning about the welfare conditions of Rong'an County, the poor households in the surrounding counties of Rong'an County rushed to come to the county lord with luggage rolls.

Of course, Nangong Keqing's resettlement of these people concocted the resettlement method for the displaced people in the suburbs of Liuli Country, which not only settled down but also had a livelihood.

Farms and animal husbandry have been well developed again, while other people with better living conditions have rented houses or bought houses and settled down in small businesses.

Not only that, Nangong Keqing invested 10 million taels for the maintenance and paving of roads, and the main roads leading to various states, counties and counties, in addition to official roads and commercial roads, have been comprehensively repaired and constructed.

Fortunately, the source of these expenses was the remaining 10 million taels of gold from the cave of Ruiwang at the beginning, and this time they were all used on the blade, and they were also taken from the people for the people.

The next day, Nangong Keqing called the carpenter Yang Jixiang over, gave him a drawing, three million silver, and asked him to build a mansion according to this building, which is simply a modern villa!

It can be said that in the future, this Rong'an County will be her small country, how can there be no mansion!

Of course, the site was rebuilt and added to the mansion of Lord Wei, and the scale was not too large, worthy of the identity of the lord of a country.

On the other hand, the gold mine actually refined more than 400 catties of gold and more than 6,000 taels of silver in a month, which is the heyday of mining in history!

That's what people often say, your family started a mine! Nangong Keqing thought to herself, "If someone asks me in the future, what is your mine?" I will answer for sure, you are right, it is the mining company. ”

Every month, all the gold and silver sent by the gold mine of Kurozi were made into gold bars and ingots, and in the gold and silver escorted over every month, Nangong Keqing divided a quarter and handed it over to the treasury of Liuli State as a tax and offering.

In addition, a quarter of the gold and silver jewelry shop handed over to Old Man Liu was made into jewelry and sold, and the rest was filled into the silver treasury of the county lord's mansion. And arrange Du Daren to do a good job of monthly and annual financial income.

With the mine, she also has to set a small goal of 100 million.
