Looking at his back, Ruan Ming was dumbfounded.

It wasn't until Ruan Yang walked in that he finally reacted, and he said again and again: "This, this, Yang'er, what does this Liu Changqing mean?" ”

"Alas!" Ruan Yang sighed and said, "My son has said, don't provoke Liu Changqing, it's good now, my father will come to the door by himself." ”

"Oops! How good is this......" Ruan Ming regretted it after hearing this.

He wanted to befriend Liu Changqing, but he didn't know that he had been used.

After this incident, the Liangzhou officials received the news, and their brows furrowed even deeper.

When we met again to take counsel, someone said:

"Liu Changqing doesn't get in oil and salt, it's not easy to do......"

"Yes, although this person is pedantic, but in the same way, it is not easy to deal with......"

"What's more, we don't know where his breakthrough is now......"

The first official office of Liangzhou.

Qi Ying clasped his fists and saluted: "My lord, there are already some eyebrows. ”

"Oh?" Liu Changqing's spirit was shocked, and he hurriedly motioned for him to continue.

Qi Ying said: "According to many inquiries, since the autumn harvest, the grain merchants in Liangzhou have suddenly increased a lot, and the trade is frequent during this period. ”

"Well, there must be something wrong here." Liu Changqing said: "Let's put it here first, later, we will set up a bureau for grain merchants, now, you first take people to Fu'an County, visit the people, check the number of grains in Fu'an in detail, in addition, ride a fast horse, six hundred miles to expeditious, and send this letter to the royal court." ”

As he spoke, he also handed over a silk letter.

"What is this?" Qi Ying took it and couldn't help but ask curiously.

Liu Changqing didn't hide anything from him, and said bluntly: "It's about the corruption of the Ruan family." ”

"Huh?" Qi Ying was a little puzzled and said: "My lord, our main task is to investigate the big grain corruption case, the Ruan family, it doesn't seem to be implicated, right?" ”

"Any corrupt officials! Can't let it go! Liu Changqing said in a straight voice.

"Yes! Let's do it. Qi Ying took the order and left.

It didn't take long for this six-hundred-mile urgent letter to be delivered to Qinzhou, and because of Liu Changqing's current identity, the letter could go directly to the king.

In the letter, Liu Changqing expounded on Ruan Ming's huge amount of gold and silver, and requested that he be tried and investigated, but after Xiao Yuan read it, he did not give instructions, but pressed it down.

In the back garden, he was walking with Gu Xue, and seeing that he was a little absent-minded, Gu Xue couldn't help asking, "What worries do you have husband?" ”

Xiao Yuan shook his head: "It's still about Liangzhou." ”

Saying that, he said: "The Ruan family doesn't need to do it now, and it can't be done, there are some things, as long as they don't touch the bottom line, they can turn a blind eye, but Liu Changqing is too upright in doing things, I'm really afraid that he will poke out some big basket." ”

When Gu Xue heard this, she said: "If there is no uprightness for him, in the case of Liangzhou, the husband still has important ministers to do?" ”

"Forget it, let him toss, I just need to see the result." Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly.

At the same time, Fu'an County.

In the county government, Qi Yingzheng was wearing armor and a war knife at his waist, stretched out his hand and said, "Lord Lin, please." ”

Looking at Qi Ying and several soldiers behind him, the county commander Lin Youfu said angrily: "It's simply unreasonable!" This county is a dignified court official! What right do you have to do that! Be careful of the official's letter, so that you can't eat and walk around! ”

Qi Ying shook his head: "I don't have this right here, but the person who asked you to go over is the Liangzhou Inspector, and Lord Lin had better move quickly and not humiliate himself." ”

"What...... What the!? Hearing this, Lin Youfu suddenly lost his confidence and was dumbfounded.

After reacting, he also changed from the arrogance just now, and forced a smile: "The patrol envoy is invited, and the lower officials naturally dare not go, but there is still a lot to deal with in the official affairs of the county government......

Qi Ying looked at him coldly and didn't speak, but the meaning was already obvious.

Seeing this, Lin Youfu couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and smiled again: "Okay, okay......"

There was nothing to say all the way, and after bringing back the Fu'an County Order, Qi Ying also immediately asked Liu Changqing to return to him.

After listening to his report, the latter nodded and said, "Bring in the Fu'an County Order." ”

"Yes!"

After a short time, Lin Youfu entered the hall, he was still wearing a county order uniform, and after coming in, he first cautiously glanced at Liu Changqing above, and then bowed over, Shi Li said: "Xiaguan Fu'an County Order, I have seen Lord Liu." ”

"Lord Lin." Liu Changqing glanced at him, then picked up a silk book on the table, and said straight to the point:

"This is the official document you submitted to the county government, which has a detailed description, at the time of the handover, the amount of grain in the entire Fu'an was 30,000 stones, right?"

"Yes, yes." Lin Youfu stood below and replied.

Liu Changqing said: "But after the verification of Lord Qi, Fu'an County has a good harvest this year, and the comprehensive number is actually more than 50,000 stones, can you tell the official that the county government actually received 50,000, but reported that there were only 30,000, where did the 20,000 go?" ”

Lin Youfu seemed to have been prepared for this question, and immediately replied when he heard this: "That's because in the process of counting and transporting, Xiaguan had 20,000 stones of grain and grass, which became moldy in the tide, and was rejected by the county government when it was handed over, so there were only 30,000 stones. ”

"Really?" Liu Changqing sneered: "What about the moldy 20,000 stone grain and grass? Where is it now? ”

"It's in the county government, and the lower officials have other storage, and they don't dare to move it privately."

"In this way, the official has wronged you?" Liu Changqing continued to sneer.

"Lord Liu's words are serious, on behalf of the king, the lord will inspect Liangzhou and summon the lower officials, it should be, it should be."

Lin Youfu said again and again, and the nervousness when he first saw Liu Changqing seemed to calm down with his airtight answer.

I thought that his answer was already perfect, even if he went to check the 20,000 moldy grain, he was not afraid, because it was indeed in the county government.

But who knew that Liu Changqing suddenly slapped the table and said sharply:

"Bold Dog Officer! Dare to deceive the upper and lower levels, perfunctory prevarication! ”

"After you expropriated the grain and grass, you colluded with the grain merchants to exchange the new grain for the old moldy grain, and filled your own pockets, do you think that the official does not know!"

His meaning is already very clear, 50,000 stone of fresh grain and rice, after he got it, in order to make a profit, Lin Youfu took a risk, exchanged 20,000 of them, and replaced them with waste grain.

This plan is not unscrupulous, and for good reason.

But at this moment, how did Liu Changqing know! Lin Youfu was also frightened by this sudden drink, and then forced himself to calm down: "Big ...... My lord is making something out of nothing, framing the lower officials, and the lower officials are not convinced......"

"How dare you quibble! Come! Bring it on! Liu Changqing immediately shouted.
