Chapter 174: Dumbfounded
Since it has been decided to take Guo Zhiyuan on the spot, Liu Guangxian naturally does not need to pay a private visit to Weifu, and immediately changed into official uniforms, ordered his entourage to set up a guard of honor, sounded the gong all the way to open the way, and went straight to Gutian County in a majestic manner, and was stopped outside Gutian County.
Liu Guangxian looked at this situation, and was even more sure that Guo Zhiyuan was not a good official, you must know that in this era, the magistrate attaches great importance to the power of the squire, and the magistrate must take the initiative to visit the local famous squire's mansion when he takes office, if a magistrate is jointly sued by the local squire, the situation will be very serious, so Liu Guangxian immediately got out of the car and took over Chen Huaili's joint letter, and when he looked at the charges listed above, it became even more popular, this Guo Zhiyuan is simply scraping the ground! Wouldn't it be even more extreme for the local squires to set up clever names to engage in what kind of justice of the peace to loot money, and to the ordinary people!
At that moment, Liu Guangxian waved his hand arrogantly, and said loudly: "Squires, please hurry up, this official will definitely uphold justice for you, and this official will go to Gutian County to remove Guo Zhiyuan from his post and go to prison to ask for the crime!" ……”
The squires and landlords were secretly happy or unhappy, and they hugged Liu Guangxian and went straight to the county office, Chen Huaili thought that Guo Zhiyuan was about to be unlucky, and he really wanted to look up to the sky and laugh three times, but he couldn't show it in front of Liu Guangxian, and he couldn't bear it hard.
Liu Guangxian took the lead in striding into the county government majestically, and when he thought about it, Guo Zhiyuan would definitely be frightened when he saw him and knelt directly to the ground, such a picture was too much after he served as the governor of the imperial history, but when he walked into the lobby, what he saw was a scene that made him stunned.
I saw a white silk hanging from the county hall hall, and a young man in an official robe was about to hang himself, and a bunch of people next to him followed and persuaded him, but the young man cried with tears in his eyes: "Don't pull me, let me die, I need money everywhere, and it's not enough to split me in half!" I knew I wouldn't be this bullshit county order, I really didn't do it! ……”
Liu Guangxian didn't have to guess to know that the young man must be Guo Zhiyuan, and immediately reprimanded angrily: "What kind of system! Guo Zhiyuan naturally guessed that it was Liu Guangxian, but he deliberately pretended to be confused: "Hey, who are you?!" ”
Liu Guangxian said with a straight face: "This official is to patrol the imperial history Liu Guangxian, Guo Zhiyuan, are you guilty?!" ......", before he finished speaking, Guo Zhiyuan ran over in ecstasy, grabbed his hand, and laughed: "Patrol the imperial history? Then you should be my Shangguan, Lord Liu came just in time, and the lower official has encountered several difficult problems to solve, please help me solve them! ......" said and turned around and shouted to the crowd behind him: "Xie Erhu, don't you want severance pay?" The official really can't take it out, and now that the official's superior is here, you are looking for him for money! ……”
In the crowd, Xie Erhu and the others looked at Guo Zhiyuan's lively appearance and secretly laughed, and hurriedly ran over according to Guo Zhiyuan's previous explanation, knelt in front of Liu Guangxian and hugged Liu Guangxian's thigh, and cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Please make the decision for us, at the beginning, Lord Guo recruited us to be a regiment to train village soldiers in order to fight the bandits, and now that the bandits are finished, they said that they would dismiss us, and they couldn't get the severance pay, isn't this unloading and killing donkeys?" ……”
Liu Guangxian was confused by Xie Erhu and others all at once, and if you think about it carefully, isn't it right in the holy decree that the magistrates of several neighboring counties in Gutian jointly impeached Guo Zhiyuan for arson, causing bandits to be rampant, why did all the bandits be defeated all at once? If you think about it carefully, the journey I came to was indeed peaceful all the way, and there was an endless stream of merchants in the past, so it really didn't look like banditry was rampant.
If Guo Zhiyuan argues by himself, no matter what he says, Liu Guangxian will only think that Guo Zhiyuan is quibbling, but by Xie Erhu and them making such a fuss, Liu Guangxian himself found that things seemed to be a little different from what he thought, he had also heard of it before the Gutian bandits were rampant, Guo Zhiyuan was able to clear the bandits in such a short time, which shows that this Guo Zhiyuan is not like the rumors are useless, he still has some ability, Liu Guangxian couldn't help but hesitate a little.
Chen Huaili, who was following Liu Guangxian, saw that the momentum was not right, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Lord Liu, they are colluding to fool you, don't believe it, this Guo Zhiyuan is very rich, and he has opened a cigarette workshop and a ready-to-wear workshop, and he also collects tolls every day, how can he be short of money!" ……”
Liu Guangxian said yes when he heard it, this Guo Zhiyuan set up a card to charge and exploit passing merchants, but he saw it with his own eyes, this can't be fake! Immediately burst into anger and said: "Guo Zhiyuan, you are so bold, you dare to fool and deceive this official!" ……”
Guo Zhiyuan immediately called out to hit the sky and said: "My lord, this toll is not something that the lower officials want to collect!" At the beginning, the official saw that the official road in Gutian was dilapidated and difficult to walk, and asked the prefect yamen for funds to renovate the official road, and the prefect asked the lower officials to raise their own funds, and the lower officials had to find a few squires to advance money to repair the official road first, but the county government could not pay them back the money and grain, so they had to acquiesce to the passing merchants to collect tolls. ……”
At this time, Sun Chuan and several squires who participated in the road repair business also walked out of the crowd and saluted Liu Guang first: "My lord, I thought that building the road was a great thing for the benefit of Gutian, and it could also allow the people of Gutian to earn some wages to subsidize their families during the slack time, so I agreed to do so, and I invested a lot of money and grain in order to build the road, and now the capital has not been recovered, but Lord Guo said that he would cancel the fee, doesn't this make me wait for nothing?" Besides, the passing merchants are also willing to pay the toll, this road has been repaired, in the past it took them at least a few days to get from Gutian to Fuzhou, but now it only takes more than a day, why not? If you want to cancel the toll, you can just return the money and food we invested in building the road! ……”
Liu Guangxian was stunned when he heard it, yes, he walked all the way, and he really felt that this Gutian official road was much easier to walk than other official roads, very flat and not bumpy, if those passing merchants were reluctant to pay the fee, they were afraid that they would have already made trouble, but when they passed the checkpoint, they did not see any dispute between the passers-by and the checkpoint personnel who charged the fees, it seems that this matter is really my misunderstanding Guo Zhiyuan.
However, Liu Guangxian couldn't pull his face to admit that he was wrong, and coughed a little embarrassedly: "These two things will be said later, Guo Zhiyuan, this official asks you, why do you want to revise the fish scale book privately, so that the people are displaced, and the people are not happy, this fish scale book is compiled by the imperial court, how can you say that it will be revised again?!" ……”
(PS: Recently, a little Kavin, this Kavin is really more bearable than a woman's dystocia, except for the time when I first wrote "Upper Position", I haven't fought so hard for a long time, in order to ensure two more times a day, I have to stay up until two or three o'clock almost every day, and I also hope that if readers think this book is okay, they can give me some responses, leave a word or something in the book review area, which can inspire me to create better, otherwise I don't have a lot of bottom in my heart to write, I don't know if there is a bias in writing.) )
