After more than two hours of travel, Qin Ming and his party arrived at Yingtianfu.

Ying Tianfu was only a hundred kilometers away from the imperial capital Shuntian Mansion, and after arriving, the prosperity of Ying Tianfu also surprised Qin Ming.

It is worthy of being the imperial capital a hundred years ago, and the degree of prosperity is just not as good as the imperial capital.

"In such a prosperous place, there are corrupt officials, and the corrupt officials must be rich." Qin Ming sighed.

Soon, the county magistrate took Qin Ming into the city, and then took Qin Ming through the bustling streets to the Yingtian Mansion in the center of the city.

When he arrived outside the yamen, the county ordered him to get off the horse, came to Qin Ming's sedan chair, and said, "My lord, how can the lower officials cooperate with you?" ”

Qin Ming thought for a while and said, "I'll find a place to live nearby, and then you can find a way to get all the evidence of their corruption in place for me, and when the time comes, I will go to the government office in person." ”

The county commander thought about it, Qin Ming didn't want to enter the government now, wouldn't he be able to let the government kill him?

But after thinking about it again, too, Qin Ming didn't go in now, just so he had the opportunity to collude with Ying Tianfu Yin.

So he nodded: "Okay lord, you can stay at the round-trip inn opposite, and the lower official will help you collect evidence." ”

Qin Ming nodded: "Okay, remember, when the evidence is complete, the official will go to the mansion!" ”

This was deliberately said to the county magistrate.

The county order wanted Qin Ming to enter the mansion and let the mansion kill Qin Ming, before that, he didn't dare to touch Qin Ming, what if he was found out?

Therefore, this big official must be killed by Fu Yin, so,

But Qin Ming said that he had to see the evidence before entering the palace.

Therefore, the magistrate must provide Qin Ming with evidence of their corruption before he can lure Qin Ming into the government.

Thinking of this, after he sent Qin Ming to an inn opposite, the county magistrate went to the government office.

In the palace, a middle-aged man in his forties was sitting in an official uniform, in the back hall.

"Master, the county order of Huahe County is here." A master stepped forward and spoke.

The middle-aged man Fu Yin said disdainfully: "As soon as the tax money was paid, he came to the mansion, hmph, is it because his share is too little?" ”

"That'...... Missing? Master asked.

Fu Yin thought for a moment and said, "Let him come in!" ”

Not long after, the county magistrate of Huahe County came into the hall, bowed down and said, "Xiaguan Huahe County magistrate, I have seen Lord Yin." ”

The middle-aged man snorted: "Qian Zhixian, why did you come to see Benfu Yin this time?" ”

"Go back to your lordship, if you encounter a little trouble...... the prefectural order has not yet finished.

Fu Yin snorted and said, "Think you have too little?" This mansion tells you that the new emperor is on the throne, named Qin Ming, you should have heard of it.

Although this is young, he is not a master to be messed with, during his official period, he was able to make hundreds of officials hot, and now he is the emperor who is in power, our good life may not be easy?

Therefore, this time, I will not only pay the tax according to the thirty-one, but also pay more, so that it seems that we should not only not evade taxes, but also overpay taxes, and we will inevitably be praised, not suspicious. ”

Hearing this, Qian Zhixian was anxious: "That's not what Xia Guan meant...... What Xia Guan means is that this time, the imperial court has sent someone to check on us! ”

"What?" Ying Tianfu Yin was stunned for a moment, then got up from the chair and said, "What's the matter?" What do you mean? ”

"Lord Yin, there is a young man in Huahe County, Xiaguan, who has a jade pendant in his hand that only officials of the fourth grade or above hold, he said that he was sent by the imperial court to investigate land reform and tax issues, and he has noticed that more than a dozen counties in our Yingtianfu are corrupt."

Hearing this, Fu Yin's face turned pale.

Qin Ming's terrible, as the Yin of Sanpin Mansion, he knows it too well.

Although he is the governor of Yingtianfu, he will also rush over to the imperial capital sometimes in important early dynasties.

I often see Qin Ming cleaning up those ministers in the court, especially the Shuntian Mansion Yin, who is at the same level as him, has been planted in his hands several times.

Therefore, he is not Yingtianfu Yin, who is often in the imperial capital, it is better not to be targeted by Qin Ming.

So, he looked a little flustered and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

So, the county magistrate told him what had happened.

Shuntianfu Yin frowned: "Have you asked, what kind of official is he?" ”

"He didn't say it, but he came to us openly, and there would be no fake." Zhixian said.

Fu Yin was silent for a moment and said: "Although there are many young people in the imperial court now because of the imperial examination, but those above the fourth grade, about twenty years old, no?" ”

"So...... Lord Fu Yin said he might be a fake? The county magistrate asked.

"Whether it's true or not, don't be careless, and never expose corruption!" Fu Yin said.

The county commander nodded: "The lower official also thinks so, the lower official thinks that if he really investigates us and reports to the imperial court at that time, I am afraid that we will only have a dead end." ”

"What do you think?" Fu Yin squinted at the county order.

The county order said: "I believe that the county orders of more than a dozen other counties all want this guy, whether it is true or not, to die!" ”

Fu Yin nodded: "Okay, it's a big thing, no matter whether he is an official or not, he has to die, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be us who die." ”

"That's right, Lord Fu Yin, but now there is a problem, if you want to kill him, you can't go to the inn where he lives to kill him openly. Even if you secretly let people kill them, they will be exposed.

Therefore, the lower officials felt that they had to let him enter the government, and then let him die, and then bury him unconsciously, so he should not know that such an official had come. ”

"What you say makes sense, killing outside, it's easy to expose." Fu Yin nodded, and then said:

"Look, what's the solution?"

"Back to the mansion, Lord Yin, this kid has a request, he wants me to investigate the evidence of our corruption to him, and he will take the evidence into the mansion to trouble you." The county magistrate said with a smile:

"It's a big deal for us to give him some evidence, let him rest assured, and then trick him into the government, and when the time comes, kill him, God doesn't know, ghosts don't know, what do you think?"

Fu Yin thought for a while and said: "You have to have bait for fishing, so let's do it, anyway, he is also a dead man, and he also has the facts of our corruption, it doesn't matter if the evidence is given to him or not, the point is that he has to die!" ”

After finishing speaking, he turned to his master and said, "You sort out the accounts, use them as evidence bait, and let the Qian County Order bring it to that guy." ”

He also said to Qian County: "In addition, try to let him come to the county office at night, so that he can be cleaned up when the time comes." ”

"Xia Guan understands, don't worry." Qian County Ling said, the result of this year's tax private accounts and public accounts.

It is recorded in the public ledger that thirty-one-one-sum of the tax is collected from each household.

Private accounts record the taxes and grain actually collected.

The corruption in this can be seen at a glance.

In the inn, Qian County Ling gave the accounts to Qin Ming and said, "My lord, Xia Guan is fortunate not to be dishonored!" ”

Qin Ming smiled strangely and said, "It's so easy to get the accounts?" Qian County Order, this should be Tianfu Yin, could it be handed over to you by himself? ”

"No, no, no, this is stolen by the lower officials at the risk of their lives, in order to atone for ......their sins," Qian County Ling said.

Qin Ming didn't know the Tao here, sneered, and didn't debunk it, saying:

"Now that the evidence is in hand, let's go, we will meet this Fu Yin and wipe out all these corrupt guys!"

"This ...... My lord, Fu Yin is not in the palace, I asked the next person, and I will come back in the evening! Qian County Ling hurriedly said.

Qin Ming glanced at Qian County's order and said, "I said, this account was handed over to you by Fu Yin himself, can he not be in the mansion?" ”。

Qian County Ling was stunned when he heard this, this is not a joke?

In an instant, a bad premonition came to his heart!
