In the county government hall, Li Weiguo wrote down in detail the disaster situation in Chongming County, such as Yan Zhanngcheng dù, tenant farmers' troubles, Xiao Yang and other county officials who were corrupt and bent the law, as well as agreeing to reduce or exempt the taxes of landlords and merchants such as Su, Zhou, Zan and Yan in order to help the victims.

At this time, Wu Yong and Zhang Xiaoliu came together, and the former said excitedly: "Congratulations, my lord, the 200,000 stone grain promised by Su, Zhou, Zan and Yan has arrived at the county granary, plus the 20,000 taels of silver in the county government's inventory, which is enough to support the adults to complete the great feat of work for relief, and the people of Chongming County are now saved, thanks to the benevolence and righteousness of the adults, and the humble representatives of the 200,000 people of Chongming County thank you for saving their lives." ”

Li Weiguo said with a smile: "Wu Hufang has won the award!" Lord Ben just did what he had to do, and if it weren't for Wu Hufang's mediation, I'm afraid there wouldn't be such a good situation at the moment. To save 200,000 people in Chongming County from dire straits, Wu Hufang made great contributions. ”

Wu Yong saw that Li Weiguo could do great things at a young age, but his demeanor was humble, without any arrogance, and he couldn't help but have more admiration for him in his heart.

At this time, Zhang Xiaoliu also said with the icing on the cake: "Young Master Qiqi, the petitioners outside the yamen have all dispersed. According to the instructions of the young master, the Yamen Workshop led them to the villages and towns of the county to build embankments, dig canals, and rebuild their homes. ”

After receiving this news, Li Weiguo was also very pleased, he was able to benefit one party, and was praised and praised by 200,000 people, and a sense of honor still arose in his heart, which was very comfortable.

It turns out that being a good official is like this!

Li Weiguo secretly thought, if it is enough to govern a county, what about a state, a province, or even a country?

What would it be like for hundreds of millions of people to thank you and praise you?

If you want future generations to remember you forever, then you can't be mediocre, you have to do something big.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo's heart was suddenly full of pride.

"The post-disaster reconstruction work is arduous, and there must be no room for sloppiness. Little Liuzi, you lead people to strengthen patrols and maintain law and order, but those who take advantage of people's danger to commit adultery will be severely punished. Wu Hufang must manage the distribution of money and grain well, and in line with the principle of working more and getting more, working less and getting less, and not working hard, arouse the enthusiasm of the disaster victims, and do their best to complete the post-disaster reconstruction work, and there must be no mistakes. ”

Li Weiguo decisively assigned tasks to Zhang Xiaoliu and Wu Yong, and the two immediately agreed.

"Wu Hufang stays for a while, there is something I want to ask you about in this county."

Li Weiguo stopped Wu Yong and took out the county government accounts to show him.

After reading the deficit in the accounts calculated by Li Weiguo, Wu Yong couldn't help but be shocked, and blurted out: "There is a deficit of 320,000 taels of silver?" This--this Xiao Master Book is too bold and reckless! ”

Sure enough, it's Xiao Yang's handiwork!

Li Weiguo had long suspected that Master Xiao had made a false account, but at this moment, he was confirmed from Wu Yong's mouth, and he was even more sure that there must be some ulterior secret behind it.

"Listening to Wu Hufang's tone, this Master Xiao has done such a bold thing before?"

Seeing Li Weiguo ask, Wu Yong replied: "Don't hide it, this Xiao master book has outstanding ability in making false accounts, there were several county commanders who wanted to investigate Xiao master book's lack of public funds, but unfortunately Xiao master book's accounts are too shrewd, no matter how you check it, you can't find out the problem, but you were falsely accused of misapproving public funds by Xiao master book, and you were either imprisoned or exiled, and later the county order simply succumbed and didn't dare to check Xiao master book again, which is also the main reason why the county government is all looking at Xiao master book, and he really can't fight him. ”

Wu Yong paused, it was difficult to hide the surprise in his heart, and continued: "It's just that, according to the humble understanding, Master Xiao's false account deficit is only tens of thousands of taels of silver each time, I didn't expect that this time there would be a loss of 320,000 taels at once, and what is even more unexpected is that the adult is so young that he can find such a huge deficit in the accounts made by Master Xiao, which really surprises and admires the humble position." ”

Li Weiguo smiled slightly, although Xiao Yang's fake accounts are both hidden and clever, as long as he grasps the basic principles and laws of purchase, sale and inventory, even the most complex fake accounts can still be found clearly.

However, before Xiao Yang only lost tens of thousands of taels of silver every time he made false accounts, but now he has lost 320,000 taels of silver at once, and the conspiracy has been revealed, which makes Li Weiguo even more vigilant.

"Are you saying that Xiao Yang used fake accounts to bring down those county orders who disobeyed his will?"

"I surmise so! Most of the county magistrates who refused to bow to Xiao Yang were dismissed because of the lack of public funds, and there was no problem with the accounts handled by Xiao Zhushu before the case, but when the boss sent someone to inspect it, Xiao Zhushu immediately pointed out the deficit in the accounts and charged the county magistrate with misappropriation of public funds. Wu Yong was not sure, but he said his judgment.

Li Weiguo snorted coldly, and said in his heart: "It seems that this Xiao Master Book really looks up to this county, the previous ones were tens of thousands of taels of deficits, and to me it is more than 300,000 taels of deficits, this is the rhythm that wants to kill me!" ”

Wu Yong suddenly frowned and said: "There is a lesson from the past in this matter, and adults have to guard against it." From the humble point of view, the reason why Xiao Yang has not yet challenged the adult is because the adult has just arrived, and he can lightly say that the deficit is left over from the previous county order, but if the adult has not found out the problem in the accounts after a few months, the adult will have no excuse at that time, and he will inevitably be put to death by Xiao Yang. ”

Li Weiguo nodded, agreeing with Wu Yong's opinion, and asked: "In Wu Hufang's opinion, how should this county solve this problem?" ”

Wu Yong thought for a while and said: "In my humble opinion, there are people above Xiao Yang, and they have a lot of relationship with the prefect of Taicang Prefecture in Zhili, as well as the governor of Liangjiang, Lu Jianying, Lord Lu, if you wait until Xiao Yang takes the initiative to make trouble, the adults will be very passive, if you report the account problem to the court now, even if Xiao Yang has someone to protect him and cannot punish the crime, but at least it has nothing to do with the adult." ”

It has something to do with Lu Jianying!

Sure enough, from the very beginning, this was a game, and it was a big killing game carefully arranged by Lu Jianying for Li Weiguo, and he wanted to put Li Weiguo to death.

Your Lu Jianying, if you don't avenge Lao Tzu's name, write it upside down!

After Li Weiguo guessed that the mastermind behind the scenes was Lu Jianying, he had a lot of hatred in his heart, thinking of Lu Jianying's son-in-law Wu Liang, the prefect of Jiangning, who persecuted the Li family, and the new hatred and old hatred were superimposed, and he was immediately angry.

"Is there a way to use this account problem to kill Xiao Yang, even if he can't kill him, at least disgust Lu Jianying's old thief!"

"Disgusting Lu Jianying—that old thief?" Wu Yong was stunned when he heard this, he was a smart man, and he quickly understood the hostile relationship between Li Weiguo and Lu Jianying, so it made sense why Xiao Yang had to put Li Weiguo to death.

Although Wu Yong didn't understand what kind of hatred there was between Li Weiguo and Lu Jianying, he was more righteous, appreciated Li Weiguo's attitude as an official, and benefited the people on one side, and in Wu Yong's eyes, he was a good master worthy of his help and service.

Thinking of this, Wu Yong also came to the spirit, and said: "If you want to kill Xiao Yang, it is not difficult, you only need to secretly send the investigation of the accounts to Lord Liu Jianzhang of Su Song Taidao, this Liu Jianzhang Lord Liu is an important minister of the former dynasty, because he supports the sixth elder brother?" Failed to seize the heir and was demoted to Su Song Taidao, and Lu Jianying was the fourth elder brother of the previous dynasty, that is, the slave of the current emperor's palace, the two sides are mortal enemies, if he learns that the adult wants to deal with Lu Jianying and kill his minion Xiao Yang, he will definitely help. ”

Through Wu Yong's words, Li Weiguo not only has a way to deal with Xiao Yang, but also learned some secrets about the struggle for the throne in the previous dynasty, this Lu Jianying turned out to be a slave during the Xianfeng Qiandi period, and Lu Jianying wanted to put the Li family to death, because Li Weiguo's wife Fu Shanxiang's father was his rival, which shows that Fu Shanxiang's father is the sixth elder brother Gong Prince Yi? The people over there. Back then? Failed to compete for the throne with Xianfeng, is it any wonder that Xianfeng took the throne as soon as he ascended the throne? The killing of the party, the imprisonment of the prisoners, and the distribution of the distribution eventually implicated Li Weiguo's family.

It turns out that the mastermind behind the scenes is a group of people from the Imperial Party!

Until this moment, Li Weiguo finally determined that the mastermind behind the framing of the Li family was the imperial party faction that supported Xianfeng back then.

In the past, the enemy was dark and I was clear, but now the enemy behind the scenes has revealed the tip of the iceberg, and for Li Weiguo, he has a clear direction for revenge and is no longer passive.

Li Weiguo clenched his fists, and said secretly in his heart: "Emperors, you wash your necks and wait, Lao Tzu will start by killing your minions Xiao Yang, then Wu Liang, the prefect of Jiangning, Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang, then those ministers who stay in the capital, and finally Xianfeng Lao'er, if you dare to hurt my Li Weiguo's relatives, Lao Tzu will send you all to hell!" ”
