Early the next morning, Li Yanzhi went in person and sent Liu and Tao to the county government. The case file and his own letters were delivered to both of them. The two of them drove more than a dozen carts full of these goods in the direction of the county government.

After Liu and Tao had already walked out of the half-day scene, Li Yanzhi summoned Cui Yang and Qin Dayong to escort Fan's shopkeeper who had unlocked the torture equipment to a prisoner car, and also escorted them in the direction of the county government. The shopkeeper Fan came out of the dungeon by himself, and when he saw that the jailer guarding him had unshackled him, he couldn't help but be surprised, thinking that this Sima, who was temporarily acting for the affairs of the county government, would release him. However, when he saw the broken prisoner car, his heart sank into the bottomless abyss again.

Li Yanzhi slowly watched the prisoner car drive out of the courtyard where the county government prison was located, and his heart settled down a little. His only doubt here was that it had happened so far, and for so many days, the local scholars on whom the shopkeeper Fan relied did not come forward. This incident made him feel relieved when he was puzzled. Originally, Lingju County was such a palm-sized place. There are many shallow kings, and those scholars are exactly where he cares. However, these people did not know whether they were interested in it, or whether they knew that it was useless to ask him for help. They were all silent, which also saved him a lot of trouble.

Returning to the county government again, Li Yanzhi, who was relieved, had already taken out the book and began to count the sealed treasures of the shopkeeper Fan. With this resource, at least the matter of the pension can be easily solved at the moment. The remaining assets are also enough to support the expenses of the Lingju county soldiers. Ordnance armor and other things are enough to replace a stubble. It should be able to build this county soldier into an elite army.

Li Yanzhi looked at the account books that recorded assets, but after a while, he remembered something, called the people on duty outside, and looked up, but it was Zhang Xing and Liao Rulong. He got up and asked the two: "Before, I said that I would treat the family of the shopkeeper Fan well, I don't know where they live now?" Can you still arrange all the meals every day? ”

When Zhang Xing heard this, he arched his hand and said: "Sima, the family members of the shopkeeper Fan, we all take good care of them according to the order, and we dare not neglect it in the slightest." There are 37 of them, and they still live in the Dou Mansion Courtyard. The daily meals are paid for by the county government. Thirty or forty men were to be fed at each meal, and then they were sent to send them to the service. Sima advised, did not dare to make a mistake. ”

Li Yanzhi nodded when he heard this, and said: "What will happen to Shopkeeper Fan now has not yet been decided, and his family will have to take care of him." Nowadays, running errands in the county government is not as good as in the army, as long as it does not violate military discipline, it can be reckless. In the affairs of the county government, you must be careful everywhere. If you can't decide, report it to me. Don't make your own decisions. If you cause a catastrophe, I may not be able to help you get rid of the troubles you encounter in the future. ”

Liao Rulong bowed and saluted, "What Sima said is extremely true, and we will keep it in mind. One day in the county government will be cautious for one day. If there is a mistake, I hope Sima will correct it. ”

Li Yanzhi nodded and said, "That being the case, of course it's the best." Liu Jiwu is also going to the county government on an errand now, and I am afraid that he will not be able to come back for a while. You need to pay more attention these days. When I first took charge of the county ministry, there are many places where you have not been taken care of, and if you find anything wrong, you can tell me clearly. ”

After Li Yanzhi sat back in the case, he continued to flip through the account books that recorded the seized items. After the two saluted, they also slowly withdrew from the main hall of the county government.

A day later, at noon, Liu Jiwu and Tao Heng finally returned to the county government with more than a dozen carts of belongings. When Taishou saw the more than a dozen carts full of belongings, he almost couldn't close his mouth in shock. He quietly called Liu and Tao aside, and asked sharply, "What are you doing here!" Li Dingdong, what good did he do in Lingju County! ”

Hearing this, Liu Jiwu looked embarrassed, thinking that if he told Xin Taishou the matter as it was, he would obviously not be able to explain it for a while. So he untied the cloth bag on his body and handed over the files and letters of the case of greedy military rations for Mo that Li Yanzhi had sorted out, as well as the list of more than a dozen truckloads of goods and goods he had brought this time, all of which were handed over to Xin Taishou for inspection.

Xin Taishou asked the two to follow him to the main hall, then opened the stack of files, took a rough look, and then looked up and asked the two people sitting on the next futon: "There is such a thing?" Li Dingdong has already beheaded all the prisoners in the general? ”

"At noon the day before yesterday, Sima beheaded four prisoners in the camp together......" Liu Jiwu said with a solemn expression: "Li Sima Yan and these people who are greedy for ink are gritting their teeth. At this time, these four people were beheaded together, and there was a discussion to warn the generals in the army. Moreover, although they were beheaded by Sima because of their corruption of ink, Sima still said that he could not cause trouble to his family, and he did not embarrass the family of the offending official, which is enough to be called benevolent and righteous. ”

Xin Fei nodded when he heard this, and then opened the letter that Li Yanzhi wrote to him, looked at it carefully for a while, suddenly frowned, and then asked Liu Jiwu: "In addition to handing over these things to me, didn't you Li Sima tell you some other things?" ”

Liu Jiwu shook his head when he heard this, and said, "Sima only asked us to hand over these things to the Fu Jun, and did not say anything else. ”

Xin Taishou looked at the letter again, and then lightly buckled it on a few cases, and said, "I know, wait a minute, I will ask the county government scribe to sign a few Kanhe to you, as evidence." After saying that, Xin Peng turned his head to the back hall and said, "Xin Ke, send the two of you to rest in the post house!" ”

Hearing the voice, an old servant came out of the back hall, bowed down to receive the order, and then came to Liu Jiwu and Tao Heng, and said, "Two, please come with me." Liu Jiwu and Tao Heng glanced at each other, and then looked at Xin Taishou, who closed his eyes after a few cases, and then walked out slowly behind Na Xin Ke.

After the two of them walked out of the gate of the county mansion and walked away, Xin Taishou, who was sitting behind a few cases, suddenly opened his eyes and said angrily: "Okay, you Li Dingdong, what kind of hot potato did you throw to the king of this mansion!" ”

While yelling angrily, Taishou turned over the letter again, and a sentence was written in vague words: "Laying hens can be kept, don't kill them to take eggs." Fu Jun Mingjian. ”

"You also know that he has a hot hand, why did he trap me!" Xin Taishou got up and paced repeatedly in the room, then turned the screen angrily and walked towards the back hall.

Half a day later, the inventory of the goods that had been brought in had been completed. Xin Taishou issued a letter for Liu and Tao, and then the two returned to Lingju with their subordinates. After less than half an hour, Shopkeeper Fan arrived at the county government under the escort of Qin Dayong and Cui Yang. Xin Taishou looked at the hot potato that Li Yanzhi threw at him, and his heart was mixed for a while.

Xin Fei ordered the left and right soldiers to open the prisoner cart and let the shopkeeper Fan out, and then took him to the hall, retreated left and right, took out the confession in the copy of the file handed over to him by Li Yanzhi, and then asked the shopkeeper Fan: "This confession, but you committed it yourself?" Li Sima has ever embarrassed you? ”

Shopkeeper Fan was not sure about the relationship between the county government Taishou and the Sima of Lingju County, so he was also a little hesitant when he heard his question. After thinking about it for a while, he still leaned down and bowed: "This confession is indeed a confession of Xiaomin. Li Sima has never embarrassed me, but the villain has been blinded by lard for a while, and has committed such a big crime, so I beg the prince to forgive me......"

"Collusion with lieutenant generals in the army, shoddy, reselling military rations for profit! You know what kind of sin you have committed! Faced with Shopkeeper Fan's understatement, Xin Fei was also a little annoyed in his heart, and even reprimanded. When the shopkeeper heard Xin Peng's words, he sweated like pulp for a while, and bowed to the ground tremblingly, but he couldn't say a word......
