Zhao Guangcai's eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth and fled from the county government with his family in embarrassment.

Pang Tai finally couldn't help it, the fat on his face wrinkled together, almost blocking his facial features, he hurriedly stepped forward and arched his hand: "My lord! If you don't take this opportunity to deal with Zhao Guangcai, do you still want to watch him fish and meat in the township, and be the one who is in trouble? Can you bear to let the people of Qiantang fall into misery again? ”

The expression on Pang Tai's face was so eager, and the words were so sincere, if it weren't for the shaking fat, Lin He would almost believe that he was a great Qing official for the country and the people.

Yu Huawen glanced at him and said with a smile: "The huge people are as jealous as hatred, which is really the blessing of the people of my Qiantang." ”

Pang Tai also knew that he had gone too far, so he smiled awkwardly: "It should be, it should be."

Yu Huawen ignored him, pondered for a moment, and said: "Huge man, do you really think that just by relying on these things, you can participate in a three-grade founding county marquis?" ”

Pang Tai touched his head strangely and wondered: "Isn't it enough to lead the house slaves to rebel?" ”

"Rebellion?" Yu Huawen shook his head, "This matter, in our opinion, is a rebellion, but in Zhao Guangcai's book, it is just a trivial incident that collided with the county government." ”

"In Zhao Guangcai's recital?" Pang Tai didn't understand it even more, "Zhao Guangcai has a book, and we also have a book!" He is playing right and wrong in front of the saint, and the saint will be able to distinguish the truth from the false! ”

"Huge man, do you know how many processes it takes for me to hand over the book to the saint in the hands of a seven-rank county order?" Yu Huawen asked as he paced towards the inner hall.

Pang Tai followed Yu Huawen's side and shook his head honestly.

"First of all, we must go through the county guard's mansion, followed by the state assassin's mansion, so that we can enter Beijing, and after entering Beijing, we can enter the Zhongshu Province for review, and then enter the hands of the prime minister, and finally we can put it in the holy imperial study. All that takes time can take about one to three months. ”

And Zhao Guangcai, as the founding county marquis, has the exclusive right to play the secret book directly, and he listens to the heavens. As long as he admits that it was a house slave who collided with the county government or something, and then admit his mistake with a better attitude, for the sake of Linjiang Hou Zushang serving the Emperor of the First Yuan, the saint will definitely not deal with him with such a trivial matter, at most he will admonish him and finish the matter. ”

"When our recitals arrive in Jiankang, I'm afraid that the Shengshang's replies to Zhao Guangcai's recitals will come down, and the Zhongshu Province will definitely leave our recitals in China. Therefore, we do not even see the face of the saints. Yu Huawen told Pang Tai about these things, and Pang Tai nodded again and again.

"However, if I don't report this matter, I will catch a pigtail from the Linjiang Marquis Mansion, although this pigtail can't do anything to him, but it is enough for him not to dare to do anything wrong in Qiantang County."

Pang Tai's eyes were full of admiration, he bowed down, bowed to the end and said: "Your Excellency, your lordship admires!" ”

Yu Huawen said softly, and then said: "Huge man, you instructed the cell boss to interrogate Wu Xing strictly, I want to know what Zhao Guangcai wants him to look for!" ”

"Yes, sir!" Pang Tai answered and left the lobby.

Yu Huawen looked at the group of officials below and said again, "Lord Yang Xiao." ”

"The lower official is here!" A middle-aged official, who was about forty years old, hurriedly walked out of the crowd and answered.

Yang Xiao is the Shaofu of Qiantang County, mainly responsible for the expenditure and collection of money in Qiantang County.

Yu Huawen said lightly: "Lord Yang, have you approved the accounts of Qiantang County?" ”

"Lord Hui, Xiaguan...... The lower officials generally approve it once a month. Yang Xiao arched his hand in response, and there seemed to be something unnatural in his voice.

Yu Huawen nodded and said, "Lord Yang, take the account book of Qian Dahong during his tenure in my study." ”

Yang Xiao raised his head in astonishment, "My lord...... Do you want to check the accounts? ”

"What? As the new prefectural magistrate, I'm checking the accounts, so there's nothing wrong with that. Yu Huawen raised his eyebrows.

Yang Xiao was silent for a long time, and then he sighed: "Alas, adults don't know, in the past six years that Qian Dahong has been in office, my Shaofu has existed in name only!" ”

"What do you mean by that?" The eyebrows on Yu Huawen's forehead furrowed again, and between the two broad eyebrows, three vertical lines were formed, which looked quite majestic.

Although this Qiantang County is in a rich place, there are countless strange things in the county, and Yu Huawen feels that he frowns more today than in a year.

"My lord, after Qian Dahong took office six years ago, he took the account books, claiming that he was responsible for all the money and financial income and expenditure in Qiantang County. So I didn't know anything about the accounts for the past six years. ”

"Until Qian Dahong left office, he did not explain the account books to his subordinates."

"What a big money!" Yu Huawen slapped the table with a "bang" and stood up angrily, "Based on this, I want to refer to him." ”

Yang Xiao sighed, shook his head and said, "My lord, two days ago, this Qian Dahong had already died by the Qiantang wharf. ”

"What!?" Yu Huawen's face was a little ugly, as soon as Qian Dahong died, everything was dead without proof.

Yu Huawen found that this Qiantang County is like a pool of bottomless muddy water, and under this muddy water, there must be some secrets hidden.

"What about corpses? What do you say? Yu Huawen asked.

"The body was in the morgue, and it was said that a sharp weapon was inserted into the spleen and caused death, which was a murder. Because it was a Qipin County Venerable who died, it was said above that someone would be sent to inspect it in person. Yang Xiao reported honestly.

"Hmm." Yu Huawen frowned, pondered for a long time, and asked, "In this county, who is closer to Qian Dahong, and who has a grudge against him?" ”

Yang Xiao hesitated for a moment, and arched his hand: "My lord, there are two people who are close to Qian Dahong, one of them is Zhao Guangcai, the Marquis of Linjiang, and the other is Shen Qinglong, the leader of the Cao Gang in Qiantang. ”

"As for this grudge person, to put it mildly, there is no one in Qiantang County who does not hate this Qian County Commander, so it's really hard to say......"

"Shen Qinglong?" Yu Huawen looked at Yang Xiao and said, "Who is this Shen Qinglong?" ”

Yang Xiao replied: "Shen Qinglong is the leader of the Cao Gang in Qiantang, and he belongs to a local civil force, and usually mainly transports salt and iron to Linjiang County for a living. ”

"Oh?" Yu Huawen became interested, "Responsible for all the salt and iron transportation in the six counties of Linjiang County?" ”

"Exactly, sir. Shen Qinglong has a good reputation in the county. Yang Xiao nodded.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Shen Qinglong usually behaves in a low-key manner and is kind. Although the price of Cao Gang's Cao Gang is relatively high, as long as it is the shipping he is responsible for, it will definitely be delivered to the destination safely. It's just ......" Yang Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just that there is a problem, and he is a frequent visitor to the local Xiaoxiang Pavilion." ”

Yu Huawen nodded, and asked strangely: "Didn't this person encounter water bandits when he was transporting goods?" ”

Yang Xiao shook his head, "I don't know about this matter. It's just that among the county officials, they have never received a report from the Cao Gang about the water bandits. ”

"Hmm." Yu Huawen nodded, knocked on the table rhythmically with his index finger, and after a long while, he said, "Okay, you guys go down, Chang Geng stays." ”

The crowd retreated.

After the people retreated, Lin He walked up to Yu Huawen and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Yu Huawen pondered for a moment, and then said: "Chang Geng, in the name of the Qiantang County Ya, you will come to visit this Shen Qinglong." ”

"Your Excellency doubts him?" Lin He's eyes flashed.

"Well, the matter of the Cao Gang, some can't be explained, I suspect that this person may have something to do with the bandits."

"Okay, then I'll go and get to the bottom of him!" Lin He clenched his fists and nodded.
