"Criminal officer Huang Chuan, meet Li Xianggong." Huang Chuan knocked his head nine times, his forehead was bleeding, and he wanted to continue knocking.

Li Zhongyi didn't squeak at first, and waited for Huang Chuan to kowtow nine times, and then he gave Chu Xiong a look.

Chu Xiong took two steps forward, supported Huang Chuan's shoulder socket with one hand, and lifted him up steadily.

"Huang Chuan, you are the only talent recommended to me by Lao Li Xianggong, so you can still kneel here in peace. I also know that you are not deeply involved, but you are just deliberately pretending to be confused. Li Zhongyi stood in front of the door of the house with his hands in his hands, and walked towards the house, without looking at Huang Chuan at all.

Huang Chuan wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and followed behind Li Zhongyi in three steps and two steps, lest he be included in the list of severe sanctions.

Several times, Huang Chuan almost fell because of his weak legs and shortness of breath, but Chu Xiong just didn't see it, he was Li Zhongyi's cronies, and it was his duty to protect the safety of the lord, so there was no reason to deal with Huang Chuan.

Li Zhongyi walked unhurriedly in the house of Huangchuan, he had always heard that Huangchuan was relatively honest, but he was a little timid and afraid.

Seeing is believing, hearing is false!

The devil is always in the details!

Li Zhongyi brought the troops very suddenly, and even if Huang Chuan had the intention to cover it up, it was difficult to do everything to the extent that he was covered, and it was easy to expose flaws.

Li Zhongyi didn't enter the main room, but asked Chu Xiong to pick up a small servant and led the way to the kitchen.

Food, clothing, shelter and transportation are the necessities of human survival, and they are also the aspects that are most likely to be exposed.

The people in the house were all wearing coarse linen clothes, and Li Zhongyi saw it in his eyes, but he didn't make a sound.

The people in the kitchen had long been controlled, and when Li Zhongyi went in, the iron pot on the stove was still steaming.

Li Zhongyi leaned over, lifted the lid of the pot and saw that it was a pot of boiling water. He has the bad habit of cooking breakfast or stir-frying, and it is clear that this time is the time for the meal, and it should be boiling water to prepare steamed cakes.

Sure enough, near the big iron pot, Li Zhongyi found a steaming drawer with raw cakes. There are four layers of steaming drawers, and the raw cakes are very hard and severely yellowed, apparently because the cooks have not yet mastered the technique of fully fermenting the pasta.

Li Zhongyi walked around the kitchen, and there was no meat or fish on the countertop, only a few plates of pickled radish strips and a black sauce.

As Li Zhongyi's super foodie, he didn't even know what kind of sauce it was, he leaned over and sniffed it, and the black sauce had a faint sour taste.

After leaving the kitchen, Li Zhongyi successively inspected the bedroom of the master room, the residence of the servants, and even the firewood room where the sundries were stacked.

In the end, Li Zhongyi came to a conclusion: Huang Chuan belongs to the so-called "clean officials" who have very good personal ethics but have no ability to govern the county.

Objectively speaking, if people are only moral, Li Zhongyi should promote and reuse "clean officials" like Huang Chuan. However, Li Zhongyi knows a truth very well in his heart: Except for a very few exemplary officials with moral purity, the vast majority of bureaucrats are lay people with seven emotions and six desires.

As the saying goes, people die for money, and birds die for food!

For bureaucrats at all levels, it is their personal needs that are met by eating and taking cards under clever names. Some of the ill-gotten gains received by corrupt officials were used to curry favor with their bosses and buy bigger officials. The other part is used for all kinds of extravagant expenses of their own families, such as recruiting beautiful concubines, buying land and property, etc., which is the source of their motivation to become officials for thousands of miles.

Even the widely circulated so-called "Hai Qingtian", that is, the well-known Hai Rui, he has married three wives, of which two have divorced wives and one has died.

Not only that, Hai Rui, Hai Qingtian also has three beautiful concubines. You must know that in the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for a county official to afford a concubine.

In addition, after Hai Qingtian was dismissed and returned to his hometown, he paid money to buy a lot of land.

Another Qingtian is Bao Qingtian, this Bao Qingtian is not far from Li Zhongyi's era.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has always been kind to civil officials, and the salaries of civil officials are surprisingly high. As far as Li Zhongyi, the prime minister who entrusted Gu is concerned, he can get 300,000 copper coins (that is, 300 yuan) per month, 20 silk horses in spring and winter, 30 silk horses, and 100 taels of winter cotton.

The above is just Li Zhongyi's net income, and the rice, firewood, salt, sauce, vinegar, tea, wine, kitchen materials, mutton and other things issued by the imperial court on a monthly basis are even more than they can eat. In addition, Li Zhongyi's Yuan Sui has as many as 100 names, and their food, clothing, housing and transportation are all covered by the imperial court.

Therefore, Hai Qingtian's income cannot be investigated, and Bao Qingtian is a real high salary.

After Li Zhongyi turned around, he returned to the main room of the house, and Huang Chuan was already kneeling indoors.

"Xianggong, the criminal official knows that he is incompetent, and he has not stopped the spread of the cult, please Xianggong does not need to think about the old feelings, despite the heavy punishment." The more correct Huang Chuan's confession attitude is, the more uncomfortable Li Zhongyi's heart will become, and it will be difficult to calm down.

The incompetent Huang Chuan almost ruined Li Zhongyi's big event, and he should be killed. But the problem is that according to the materials that Li Zhongyi has at hand, Huang Chuan did not collude with the people in Linzi County, nor did he receive half a penny of black money.

Huang Chuan did his own thing, but he didn't even do his duty as a magistrate.

"Huang Chuan, you go to Ganghwa Island." Li Zhongyi sighed lightly, and finally decided to let Huang Chuan go.

Uniting all forces that can be united and conspiring together is the most important political bottom line for Li Zhongyi at present. The world has not yet been unified, and it is impossible for Li Zhongyi to kill the "Qing officials" just for the crime of suppressing the Ming Sect, and he is a clean official who is upright, which will offend all the scholars and literati in the opposition.

Huang Chuan was Li Qiong's staff before, and Li Qiong was Li Zhongyi's most important political and military ally.

If Huang Chuan had embezzled and accepted bribes, or even colluded with the cult, Li Zhongyi would have killed him, but it would have been barely justified. The problem is that although Huang Chuan is extremely incompetent, he has a clean breeze on his sleeves and has not taken a penny of dirty money, and Li Qiong may not be able to let go of it in the future.

"Who knows the pain of the times?" Li Zhongyi waved his hand in a flash, preventing Huang Chuan from saying the truth without thinking about it.

Huang Chuan really wants to completely break the window paper, and Li Zhongyi is even more tricky, which is called sitting on wax.

Or did Chu Xiong understand Li Zhongyi's thoughts, he took the initiative to stand up, and while helping Huang Chuan up, he persuaded him in a low voice: "The Lord has been extraordinarily gracious, why don't you hurry up and go out to clean up and go to Jianghua Island early?" ”

"This ...... That ......" Huang Chuan struggled to continue talking, but was brutally covered by Chu Xiong and coerced out.

Li Zhongyi shook his head secretly, such a so-called clean official who has neither eyes nor ability, it is okay.

Huang Chuan is a fool, but Xiao Xuan on the side can see it, this should be the sentence that bad men often say, the official is a nest!

Huang Chuan, who did not have many belongings, was quickly put into a carriage and escorted by a team of guards to the dock to board the ship.

Li Zhongyi saw that the house had been vacated, so he simply ordered to go down and settle down in this house.

A bad man's words, the hard-working Xiao Xuan will have to run and break his leg. She was busy running before and after, boiling water, making tea, and having to clean up the couch and spread the brocade mat.

Bad men like to use their brains to think about things, so they have a bad habit of taking a nap anytime and anywhere, if Xiao Xuan, who is a personal maidservant, does not prepare a brocade mat in advance and light sandalwood to help sleep, the family law of the old Li family is not divided between men and women.

Sure enough, as Xiao Xuan expected, after Li Zhongyi dealt with the official documents he brought with him, he got up and went to the inner room.

Li Zhongyi stood steadily on the edge of the couch, Xiao Sui ran over in three steps and two steps, and while untying the bad man's clothes, he quietly slashed the bad man's chest with an eye knife.

Xiao Sui was still unconvinced, even if Li Zhongyi didn't see Xiao Sui's strange appearance in private, he knew this clearly.

People go to high places, and water flows to low places!

As a famous and noble daughter of the Khitan Kingdom, if Xiao Sui willingly served Li Zhongyi in such a short period of time, it would be logically completely unreasonable.

Li Zhongyi actually didn't take Xiao Sui seriously, and when he was idle, he was just teasing. In the final analysis, no matter how famous Xiao Sui is in history, she is an alien girl after all.

Objectively speaking, even if Xiao Sui gave birth to a son for Li Zhongyi, that son had already lost at the starting line since he was born, and he lost the inheritance of the old Li family early.

After Xiao Xuan waited for Li Zhongyi to lie down, she obediently untied her wide clothes and stripped off only her bra and hollow bottoms.

Li Zhongyi pillowed one hand behind his head, comfortably admiring the beauty of the wide clothes, seeing that Xiao Xuan still wanted to remove the mesh black silk on his long legs, he said in time to stop it, "What are you doing to take it off?" Put it on again, but it's a bit of a hassle. ”

Xiao Xuan replied in a low voice, "Huh." She looked very deferential on the surface, but in her heart she scolded Li Zhongyi.

Except for the back house of the Li family, Xiao Xuan has never seen a woman on her legs, and she has to be covered with so-called mesh full of holes, which is really ugly!

Li Zhongyi had something in his heart, he just hugged Xiao Xuan, closed his eyes and recuperated, and didn't plan to "bully" her.

But the problem is that Li Zhongyi didn't have any distracting thoughts, but made Xiao Xuan angry.

Unlike the women of the Central Plains, Xiao Sui is a woman on the prairie, and her eating habits are also based on beef and mutton as the staple food, and the nutrients in the food can be said to be rich to the extent of overflowing, and the development of all aspects of the body is naturally far superior to that of Han women.

"Don't move, sleep obediently." Li Zhongyi didn't expect that the emotional Xiao Sui would take the initiative to touch him, and he was about to feel the fire.

"Master ......" The fire in Xiao Xuan's heart and the fire in his body were all burning majestically, and his snorting tone was simply seducing a man to launch an invasion immediately.

Li Zhongyi is called a bad man, there is definitely a reason, the more Xiao Xuan's heart is hot, the less he intends to let her get her wish.

In the end, Li Zhongyi recuperated and got up to go out to deal with military affairs. Xiao Sui gritted her teeth, rushed into the clean room with great grievance, scooped up a spoonful of cold water from the bucket, and poured it on herself.

PS: There is at least one more, the big drama in the Central Plains of the Prancing Horse is about to open, ask for the encouragement of the monthly ticket!
