Zhang Hao only took a stick of incense to let Zhu Biao, who had been pampered since childhood, enjoy all the tricks in the prison, and became an honest person who knew everything and said everything, and even explained the matter of bedwetting at a few years, not to mention other things.

At this time, Zhu Biao's confession document of colluding with the concubine in Ximen Qingfu to seize the family property was placed on the table in the flower hall of the back ya.

After reading it, Hu Zhixian slapped the table and said angrily: "This pair of filthy men and women who are incorruptible and shameless dare to do such an ugly thing!" ”

"Hey, hey, hey......" Qian Zhubo sneered: "Dulonggang Sanzhuang has a huge self-sustaining power, and we county officials are all lukewarm, lack of courtesy, and the accidental death of several county lieutenants is estimated to have been done by them, I didn't expect the children of the Zhu family to be caught by Li Dutou, this time they must take off a layer of skin!" ”

Li Nan had already investigated that when Hu Zhixian and Qian Zhu Bo came to Yanggu County to take office, the Zhu family, the Li family, and the Hu family were the overlords of this place, and not only did not come to visit Shanggong, but also ignored their decrees many times.

In the hearts of these two old foxes, they must be full of bad feelings towards these three villages, as long as Li Nan sends Zhu Biao to them, there will definitely be a good show to watch.

After scolding the people of Sanzhuang, Qian Zhu Bo remembered the accidents of the previous county lieutenants, and couldn't help but worry: "It's okay to take the opportunity to punish Zhujiazhuang, but if you really force them, I'm afraid that the vicious dog will bite people!" ”

When Hu Zhixian heard this, he also thought of this stubble at this time, and secretly thought that although money and face are important, his life is even more precious.

"Hahaha, the two adults don't have to worry about this." In order to calm their hearts, Li Nan smiled and took out another confession from his arms and handed it to the two.

This confession states that the three county lieutenants before and after, because after finding out about the sale of illicit salt by the three families in Dulonggang, they were secretly killed by the Zhu family, the Li family and the Hu family, because Zhu Biao was deeply favored by Zhu Chaofeng, so these things were not hidden from him, and the Zhu family's attack was led by Zhu Biao himself.

After seeing it, Qian Zhubo made up his mind, exhaled and raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Hahaha, Erlang, this thing is the evidence of the crime, I don't know how you let that Zhu Biao recruit it?" ”

Li Nan said lightly: "Under Miki, why can't you ask for it? Zhu Biao has not been through the hardships and pains of the world, how can he keep it a secret? ”

Since he had this charge in his hand, the money owner said with confidence: "In this way, as long as we hand over this thing to Dongping Mansion, the imperial court will definitely send troops to exterminate Dulonggang Sanzhuang!" ”

"This must not happen!" Seeing Hu Zhixian groaning, it seemed that he also had this intention, and Li Nan hurriedly stopped.

After seeing Li Nan's methods, Hu Zhixian and Qian Zhubo have also changed their opinions about him a lot, at least they don't think that he is a small official with no ambitions.

Hu Zhixian looked at Li Nan and said, "Erlang, why not?" ”

"The imperial court sent troops to exterminate Dulonggang and Sanzhuang, not only is this matter not good to the two adults at all, if the officials are not satisfied, then maybe they will be accused of conniving at banditry."

Hu Zhixian and Qian Zhubo glanced at each other, they were familiar with officialdom, and they knew that the situation that Li Nan said was really likely to happen.

Nowadays, there are no loyal people in the DPRK, and the people who control the government are all villains like Cai Jing, Wang Hao, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, and Zhu Mian, and many local officials are also scheming.

After listening to Li Nan's explanation, Qian Zhubo also felt that his suggestion was a little inappropriate, and hurriedly asked: "Erlang, what do you have to say?" ”

Li Nan said humbly: "This kind of thing should still be decided by the two adults, and I am in a low position, so I won't speak." ”

"Hey." Qian Zhubo pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Now that the three of us are in the same boat, if you have a good idea, just say it, you can't treat me and the county lord as outsiders." ”

Hu Zhixian also said: "Yes, you don't hurt to say it." ”

Seeing that the two of them were looking at him, Li Nan no longer shirked, smiled and said: "Since the two adults don't treat me as an outsider, then I'll say it directly, in case there are some offensive words, please also ask the two Haihan." ”

Since Hu Zhixian and Qian Zhubo insisted on listening, Li Nan also said eloquently: "The two adults traveled thousands of miles to Yanggu County as officials, I guess one is to express their ambitions and benefit the people in the county, and the other is to ask for some money to support their families and contact people, I don't know if what I said is right?" ”

Hu Zhixian really had some ambitions to help the world and enrich the country in his early years, but after years of party struggle, he had long taken this matter lightly.

He is now completely in line with the idea of Qian Zhubo, that is, to make as much money as possible in office, so that at the end of his term, he will have both income to support his family and enough money to support high-ranking officials in Tokyo, so that he can maintain a worry-free career.

Now that the two of them listened to the first half of Li Nan's words, their faces couldn't help but show a slight sense of shame, but the second half of the words spoke to their hearts.

Li Nan continued: "If my expectations are correct, the people of Zhujiazhuang will come to the door in a while, and they want to redeem Zhu Biao with silver money, and the two adults can profit from it. We have in our hands the evidence of Sanzhuang's sale of illicit salt and the rebellion of officials, and we can manipulate them at will after that, so that they dare not act recklessly. ”

After listening to Li Nan's suggestion, Hu Zhixian did not speak, but took a sip of the exquisite blue and white glazed carved tea bowl on the table.

Then Hu Zhixian looked at Li Nan and asked thoughtfully: "Erlang, you can't get too much benefit in this matter, why do you bother to plan so much?" ”

Li Nan didn't expect Hu Zhixian to be so shrewd, and he actually saw that he had another purpose, but fortunately, he had already made up a statement.

"Hehehe."

Li Nan smiled calmly: "Of course, my actions are also a little selfish. A few days ago, the money owner Bo once reminded me that even a small official like me can buy an official position if he has saved enough money, but now that I am still young, I naturally don't want to be a small official for a lifetime, so I came up with a way to earn money. ”

If Li Nan said that he was selfless, then Hu Zhixian and Qian Zhubo would definitely not believe it 100%, but now this selfish explanation makes them have no doubt.

Seeing the two nodding slightly, Li Nan continued: "The two adults still remember Qiu Xiaoyi and Cui Daocheng. ”

Of course, Hu Zhixian and Qian Zhubo remembered this matter, after all, the two thieves collected a lot of gold and silver, so that these two adults also made a small profit.

"We have regulations for all kinds of income in Yanggu County, although this money can be stable, but it takes a long time to accumulate enough money to buy official silver, so I plan to use this matter to borrow armor from the Zhu family, the Li family and the Hu family to sweep away the bandits and bandits in Yanggu County and its surrounding state capitals. In this way, the two adults can not only increase their achievements in suppressing bandits, but also give enough of the stolen goods obtained by the thieves, in addition to the necessary supplies for the soldiers. ”

Li Nan's words made it clear that Hu Zhixian and Qian Zhubo did not need to spend any energy, they could sit and wait for the exploits of the bandits and the captured thieves to come to the door, and the soldiers were damaged, and they were also weakened Sanzhuang's armor guards, which was a good strategy to kill multiple birds with one stone.

Hu Zhixian, who secretly thought about it in his heart, stroked his palms and smiled: "Erlang is young and promising, this way of suppressing thieves and buying officials is good, you can just let it go, as long as there is something that you need my help with, then just ask." ”

When the money owner Bo was about to express his support, the servants outside the door came to report that the people from Zhujiazhuang were coming.

Li Nan got up and said goodbye with interest, and said with a smile when he left: "Since the family has arrived, then I wish the two adults a lot of money!" ”

"Hahaha......" Hu Zhixian laughed and patted Li Nan's shoulder, everything was silent.
