It is easy to say that the local supervision officials and the collection of people's demands are easy, but how to ensure the integrity of these people so that they do not fall into corruption themselves, or simply collude with the local officials to oppress the peasants, this is a difficult problem, after all, there is a lot of silver in front of them, and they only need to say a word to the head to make a fortune.

Thinking about it, he walked around the courtyard in a daze, and when the guards saw him in deep thought, they didn't dare to disturb him, so they let him go, and when they looked up again, they said that there were still too few literati available to them.

"Hey, how did I get here?" Li Jing said suspiciously, looking at the room in front of him, this is obviously the room where Chen Mengji is being held, but he has come here, so just go in and ask him.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Chen Mengji didn't look up, he shook his head and looked at this collection of poems, and refused to be thousands of miles away, "There is no need to persuade the old man, the old man would rather be so lonely and old for a lifetime, and he will definitely not be a thief!" ”

"Why is Chen Zhixian so depressed?" Li Jing smiled, didn't care, sat directly on the stool next to him, took a pot of water and poured himself a cup, took a sip, saw the resentment on Chen Mengji's face, and knew what was going on, "Don't annoy me, the county has to be a last resort, it's really desperate." ”

It is said that Chen Mengji wants to kill Li Jing in his dreams at the moment, he is doing a good and decent Chunxian county order, even if there is no hope of promotion for a while, it is like being a prisoner now, and the whole family is called to fill the army, all of this in his opinion, Li Jing is forced, and he naturally has no good face to look at, "My lord is not busy with official business, what are you doing here!" ”

"Naturally, official business is busy, but I have something to do, don't Chen Zhixian want to know?" Li Jing looked at this person playfully, a few months ago he was his own parents, but now he has been reduced to the point where he can only express his emotions through poetry collections, and he eats and sleeps and eats without any pursuit, which is really a pity.

But what he wants to say, but what Chen Mengji thinks about day and night, he is not afraid that he will not take the bait, only looking at the furnishings in this room, Chen Mengji snorted secretly, and secretly said I have nothing to talk about with you, a thief, not more than half a sentence, not the same way is not for the sake of conspiracy, and meeting enemies like Li Jing does not distinguish between life and death, even if his own temperament is good.

"Master Li can just say it if he has something to say, I don't like Chen for wasting food, just ask someone to drag me out and cut me down, anyway, Chen is only bent on dying quickly." Chen Mengji said this sincerely, and his swollen and red face showed that he only hated in his heart.

How not to hate? I want him to read poetry and books in the cold window, and finally rank among the top three, let out a magistrate of the county, the old mother at home is alive, and he has to be a good wife and husband and children, working at home, the whole family is looking forward to his glory day and night, and suddenly an incident arises, not only is he deeply trapped in the den of thieves, but also recognized by the imperial court as the root of the civil unrest in Shanxi.

When the news of his family's arrest came to Wei Bo'an, Chen Mengji had the mind to hang himself at that time, he didn't care about his future and fate, but for his relatives who took care of him in every way, now he was dragged into this way, how could he bear it!

"Dead?" Li Jing smiled and shook his head, "You have an old mother who is still alive, and you have a good wife and orphan son, once you die, how will they live?" ”

Looking at Li Jing's playful smile, Chen Mengji couldn't wait to tear his mouth, Sanqing Tiankong Sage is above, there are such despicable and shameless people living in the world, I am really ashamed to be in his company, isn't it all your fault that my family is so down-and-out now? !

I also saw him threaten with his own family, he gritted his teeth with hatred, but looking at the hateful face in front of him, he couldn't raise the mind of resisting, he was really a weak scholar with no power to restrain the chicken, if he started to do it, he would have to be beaten into a pig's head by Li Jing, so he turned his head away, never looked at him again, and read it directly with a book.

"Your wife and children, I have sent someone to look for it, and yesterday I sent a letter back, redeeming myself with three hundred taels of silver, and I am rushing back day and night, how is this matter?" It's just that after a while, Li Jing suddenly threw out a sentence, which suddenly made Chen Mengji so shocked that he couldn't sit still anymore, and suddenly turned his head and stared at him, "Are you telling the truth?!" ”

"You are a prisoner, a wanted criminal of the imperial court, what good is it for me to lie to you?" Li Jing smiled, looking at the "Si" calligraphy hanging in the middle of the room, but he thought about it so much, there was no eagerness to talk to him, but Chen Mengji didn't care so much, he got up straight behind him, and asked eagerly, "What does Master Li want to do, but please say it clearly." ”

Although his family and his own position were all lost by Li Jing, who said that the current situation is stronger than others, he also had to temporarily seek skin with the tiger, and talked with Li Jing about the conditions, since Li Jing has the ability to redeem his family, he naturally has the ability to make his whole family die together.

Moreover, in the past, he had the identity of the imperial court as a barrier, and Li Jing also added to his sword soldiers, but now he has even lost his position as the magistrate of the county, and has become a criminal minister of the imperial court.

"He's a cheerful guy." Li Jing turned his head and looked at him for a while, and he didn't know what to think in his heart, "Just tell you clearly, there are no civil servants under me now, I want to recruit you to be my clerk with the army, are you willing?" ”

I was afraid that he would not will, and then said, "Now you have nowhere to go, the court will liquidate you sooner or later, once you get out of my territory, you must have to go to the prison of Tianfu, the former governor of Xuanda, Zhang Zongheng, also sent Wei Bo'an, the governor of Daizhou, to come to ask for you, or did I send you away, what do you think now?" ”

Chen Mengji smiled bitterly, sure enough, this is it, after ten years of hard study, do you want to end up on an errand to help the thief? It's a pity that he was asked to die, he didn't want to, not to mention that he was only in his thirties, and he didn't enjoy much in this world, the concern of his wife and children, and he lost his temper, otherwise he was really that kind of temperamental, I am afraid that at the beginning of Li Jing's army, when he broke the county seat, he would enter other counties like the county, either hanged himself or threw himself into a well and died.

In Li Jing's eyes, this is a typical literati face, not only to be a ****, but also to set up an archway, the end is hateful, but who makes himself have no better choice? Chen Mengji is not a talented person, but he has been the magistrate of the imperial court, and he knows more than himself.

In the future, whether it is used to deal with the imperial court, or to assist in dealing with official problems, they are all good hands, and it is better than smearing their own eyes.

"Can you allow a little to think about a thing or two?" Chen Mengji has no other way at the moment, the lives of his wife and children, but they are all in Li Jing's hands, if he annoys him, he will die together as a family, which will make him embarrassed, be a thief, unwilling, don't obey, his life can't be saved, and he is in a dilemma.

Although Li Jing likes to cut the mess with knives, but in this matter, there is really no good way, so he can only grind slowly, and drop the sentence, "Your wife and children are old and young, I am good at raising myself, but I am by no means a good temperament, if you procrastinate, it is inevitable to call the guillotine to go through, I will give you a seven-day time limit, if you refuse to reply, then don't blame me for being ruthless!" ”

As he spoke, only Chen Mengji, whose scalp was numb and stunned, was in place, and went out by himself......

"Lord, do you have any doubts about presenting the account books today?" On the moon and eyebrows, there was still no rest in the general army's mansion, and torches were lit everywhere in important places, and Li Jing summoned Li Denggao and Guo Sheng, who was stationed in Chunxian County to the west, to discuss military and political affairs.

"I'll talk about it later," Li Jing waved his hand, interrupting Li Denggao's words, but turned his head to look at Guo Sheng, who was a representative of the original army and household soldiers who he pulled up, seeing that he didn't squint, straightened his waist and sat on the stool, and sighed in his heart, now he is also a general, and he has become the brigade leader of the first brigade, "Guo Sheng, do you remember that day?" ”

Guo Sheng was puzzled, and it was difficult to answer, so he listened to Li Jing and said, "On that day, you led the army to suppress the bandits, but you were imprisoned in the prison, hungry and yellow-skinned, have you ever thought that there is a time when you command an army of seven or eight thousand today?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Guo Sheng suddenly didn't dare to sit down, and immediately got up and wanted to kneel down, but when he saw Li Jing smiling, he started to stop it, and immediately stood meticulously and hugged his fists, "The last general has always remembered, one day I dare not forget, the last general can have today, it is all the great grace of the lord, regardless of the previous suspicions, I am allowed to be rich, great kindness, and the last general is unforgettable!" ”

"That's not right!" Li Jing shook his head and got up and said, "You can have today, it's all your own credit, otherwise the army can't serve you, how can I promote you to be a brigade leader for no reason?" Therefore, such words will not be mentioned again in the future. ”

He knows that Guo Sheng is a person, he has great skills, and he has not been reused, for giving him space to play and sparing no effort to promote his benefactor, he must be gracious, with this layer of kindness as a foundation, in the future, he only needs to continue to give grace and power, and he can firmly control him, so Li Jing can be regarded as revealing his true feelings to him, and he spoke with his heart.

Guo Sheng was eaten to death by Li Jing, just like a technician in the future, he has no ability, but he has no ability to study, and when he meets someone who can reuse them, he is naturally desperate, and at this moment, seeing Li Jing's words so open-minded and generous, he is grateful from the bottom of his heart, but he doesn't know how to tell it, so he can only choke and say, "The last general is willing to send an envoy for the great cause of the Lord and the public, and he will never give up!"
