Chapter 154: Dare to go against the Son of Heaven
Passers-by saw that the two were anxious. , he didn't feel it in his heart, but he still chose to calm down and said: "This brother, you don't have to be so alarmed, please listen to me emphasis."
The two of them nodded stiffly, and pricked up their ears.
I saw that the passer-by sighed, and patiently explained: "This brother, don't you know, a few days ago, a group of bandits appeared in the mountains near us, and they can be said to do all kinds of evil, but when the county master went to suppress the bandits, he let him escape."
"Escaped?" At this time, the words of passers-by have completely attracted the attention of the two, and they have already integrated themselves into it.
Passers-by sighed and nodded: "Yes, since then, the county magistrate has collected money from our people for various reasons, such as making weapons to supplement food or something, and there are still a lot of reasons." He even copied several wealthy merchants on the charge of harboring bandits, and in the eyes of our people, he was even more hateful than those bandits. With that, he lamented and bowed his head in embarrassment.
"By the way......" Li Jianguo was so angry that he almost missed his mouth, and then he had an idea: "May I ask if the government is following this road?"
The passer-by nodded heavily and persuaded bitterly: "Yes, but the county master is not an ordinary county master, if the two Xiang find him to comment, I advise you to save your energy." With that, he shook his head, and turned away.
After the passers-by left, Li Jianguo's heart was instantly revealed: "What exterminate the bandits' den?" I think it's clearly a play that has nothing to do with me. ”
Li Wenju replied: "The emperor is right, as a bandit, how could he expose his whereabouts so easily in this Dazhou County, not to mention that these bandits could not grow up in the homes of wealthy merchants even if they were stupid. , but the dog official used this reason to raid the home of a rich merchant, isn't this cheap? ”
Li Jianguo snorted angrily, bit his mouth and said fiercely: "This dog official, Shun will definitely cut off your head!"
After speaking, the two of them soon came to the gate of the official mansion.
The sight in front of me is simply shocking!
It turned out to be the local people, with silver bags in their hands, and they lined up to pay the money with bitter faces one by one.
Li Jianguo suddenly clenched his fists, and his eyebrows were also full of murderous aura, "This dog official of his grandmother is really shameless!" ”
Li Wen raised his hand and raised it, temporarily stunned by the bath water of the saint, "Emperor Chao, please calm down, let's go in and have a look." ”
After talking to the gatekeeper, he went in and reported to the county magistrate: "Go back to the county magistrate, and say that I want to see you because of the bandits."
The county magistrate's heart directly started to think crookedly, "Is there really someone who doesn't know what is good or bad, and wants to ask the official for money." He smiled proudly when he wanted to play, "Let those two boys in."
Li Jianguo, as the Son of Heaven, was used to this, so he naturally didn't look a little scared in front of him, and directly took Li Wenju and walked into the official mansion with a straight waist.
Seeing that the two of them were not at all formal, the dog official immediately slapped the table and said angrily, "Bold, I don't kneel down when I see this official." ”
Li Jianguo glanced at the dog official and snorted coldly: "I just want to ask the county master, are there bandits here?"
The dog officer bit his lip and said slowly: "That was half a year ago, what's the matter, did you two capture this group of bandits?" After speaking, she looked at Li Jianguo with questioning eyes.
However, after Li Jianguo looked at each other, he just smiled coldly: "I didn't catch the bandits, I want to ask you again today."
The dog officer turned his head directly and made a condescending appearance, "Since you haven't caught the bandits, what qualifications do you have to talk to Master Ben here?" After saying that, he gave an order. When he saw his subordinates driving him out, Li Jianguo immediately took out the token: "Do you think the two of us dare to come in casually and tell you that we are officials of the imperial court, and we came here to investigate the people's feelings in accordance with the holy decree."
"This ......" The dog official was actually completely empty-hearted, but he still pretended to be very calm: "Two adults, what do you want to know?"
Li Jianguo also had a rare deal with him, and went straight to the point: "I want to know, why are those people outside the mansion queuing up here to pay money?"
The dog officer instantly sweated bitterly, he looked sad, and pretended to be a scoundrel and pitiful: "Don't get me wrong, my lord, I collected some money from the people, just to make enough for the bandits, make weapons to exterminate the bandits, there is absolutely no corruption!"
Looking at the false expression of the dog official, Li Jianguo felt disgusted in his heart, and asked on the spot: "If the bandits are small, why do you need to collect so much silver to make weapons, if the bandits are big, then why don't you report to the court?" Yes! Li Jianguo roared on the spot, without the slightest emotion.
Hou Guan was so frightened that he retreated directly to the wall, but he still wanted to defend himself: "It's not that the lower officials don't want to report to the court, they just don't have time."
"Don't have time?" Li Jianguo bit his mouth lightly and snorted coldly again: "That official is asking you, do you always think that the rich businessmen here are harboring criminals?"
The dog official thought that the opportunity had come, and began to quibble self-righteously: "Behind the bandit mountain is a dead end, where can the bandits who are caught in the net escape, so Xia Guan suspects that he has something to do with these rich businessmen, so he hides them, so that Xia Guan has not been able to capture these bandits until now!"
When Li Jianguo heard it, he raised his head and laughed on the spot, and the dog official's eyes straightened when he saw it.
"Bandits have always been treacherous and cunning, will they choose a mountain of death, will they be stupid enough to go among the rich merchants themselves, will they throw themselves into the net?"
When the dog official saw Li Jianguo's angry and murderous eyes, his heart suddenly fell into fear, but he still worked hard to argue for himself: "What is the relationship between these bandits and those rich businessmen, so ......?"
Li Jianguo didn't want to hear his one-sided quibbles at all, so he directly poked out his sore spot on the spot: "Since you asked the people to pay the silver, you are doing the right thing." Then there must be a ledger record, and this is given to the household department, so what about the ledger? ”
The guest officer left a way back, and immediately asked his subordinates to bring the account book and hand it to Li Jianguo, wanting to clear his name.
But Li Jianguo opened the account book, only looked at it twice, and immediately threw it on the ground, and gave an order: "Arrest this dog official for me."
After speaking, the soldiers who were hiding beside Li Jianguo immediately rushed into the official mansion and directly captured the local official.
"Your Excellency has been wronged, wronged!" The struggling body, the face full of grievances.
And Li Jianguo didn't even look at him, and made a direct gesture: "Drag him out."
Then Li Jianguo also walked out of the official mansion, but the moment he walked out of the official mansion, he saw that the people outside the mansion knelt down to thank him, Li Jianguo saw his kind face and bent down: "Everyone, please get up quickly, these are what we should do."
From the people, Li Jianguo said frankly: "Ladies and gentlemen, our saint said that whoever goes against the people is against the saint, so these officials who brutalize the people must not stay, and now the official will send someone to detain that person back to the capital, and what awaits him will be a hundred times the price!"
When the people heard this, they immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "The grass people thank the saint for his kindness!" ”
Li Jianguo couldn't stop this formation even if he wanted to, and then thanks to Li Wenju beside him, these people stood up: "Everyone, you are all small fish in his river." Therefore, the Holy Lord has decreed that he will establish governorships in various states and counties and send the court's virtuous ministers to take office, if you have any grievances, you can report and complain, but if there is a problem with this governor's office, then everyone here can go to the Holy Lord, clarify the facts, and after the Holy God finds out, they will all be severely punished! ”
After the people thanked them unanimously, the escorted prisoner car was also delivered, and Li Jianguo directly kicked his dog official into the prison cell and began to parade through the streets.
And when he was parading through the streets, what the dog official brought was only the scolding and angry words of the people.
The matter of the dog official was finally resolved, but the sorrow on Li Jianguo's face did not decrease in the slightest, and Li Wenju naturally had to worry when he saw it, "Emperor Chao, now that the matter of the dog official has been resolved, and now that you are on the way back to Jincheng, what else do you have to worry about!" ”
Li Jianguo sighed, and directly sighed Li Wenju probed his heart: "Shun is thinking that even the life of the people in such relatively wealthy prefectures and counties is still like this, let alone the villagers living in poor places." With that, he shook his head mournfully, his eyes full of self-reproach.
When Li Wenju saw this, he hurriedly supported his shoulders and comforted: "Don't be sad, Emperor Chao, after all, not everything can be done in one step."
Li Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief and ordered: "I want to go to the poor countryside to see."
Li Wenju nodded, and it didn't take long for them to come to the countryside.
But Li Jianguo did not visit directly, and "" was an inspiration, let Li Wenju hurt him, and then lay in the field by himself, waiting for the arrival of the people.
Soon, a pleasant voice reached his ears.
"Mother, take a look at the front and see if there is anyone in front of you?"
Li Jianguo quietly opened his eyes, only to see the mother and daughter rushing over, and suddenly closed their eyes and remained motionless.
Seeing the strange man in front of them so pitiful, the mother and son even showed bitterness on their faces, and the mother also confessed: "This strong man, it seems that he must have been injured and left here."
The ignorant child then asked, "But why was this uncle wounded?"
The wise mother didn't want to waste any more time, so she directly helped Li Jianguo's body up, "Don't ask about this first, it's important to save people." Fast! ”
With a gesture, the mother and his son worked together to bring Li Jianguo back to their home, and invited the conscience doctor in the village.
At this moment, Li Jianguo's heart already felt an unusually warm heart. Then I only heard the doctor who diagnosed the disease......
