The corners of Lu Haosheng's eyes twitched, and he shouted sharply: "What a bold man, King Qi is an auxiliary country today, and you are ...... to speak disrespectfully!" ”

Qiu Ruxue persuaded with a smile: "Lord Lu, they are all ignorant subordinates, so you don't have to worry about them." He said to the soldier, "Go and call Zhizhou to come over." ”

The soldiers were polite when they saw Qiu Ruxue, and they were also a little afraid of Qiu Ruxue, so someone entered the mansion at that moment, and soon, the soldiers came out and said, "Sun Zhizhou let you in." ”

Lu Haosheng snorted coldly, he didn't care about it at this time, but he was thinking about going back and calculating the account, and when he entered the mansion, it was just that Qiu Ruxue and others had swords on them, so naturally they couldn't all enter the Zhizhou Mansion, Qiu Ruxue and others didn't want to go inside, they rushed for a few days, they were a little tired, but they just remembered Chu Huan's instructions to protect Lu Haosheng's thoughtfulness, and at that moment Qiu Ruxue asked his subordinates to go to the city to find an inn to settle down, and then send two people over to wait.

The Governor's Mansion was burned to that state, so it was naturally impossible to stay in it, before Qiu Ruxue came, Chu Huan allocated enough entanglement and expenses, and Qiu Ruxue had to secretly establish a "Shadow Guard" on this trip, gather manpower, and have special funds, Lu Haosheng might be depressed for the silver, but Qiu Ruxue and these people did not have the slightest worry.

Qiu Ruxue knife does not leave his body, the soldier saw Qiu Ruxue's momentum, but he did not dare to stop it, Lu Haosheng was in front, Qiu Ruxue was behind, and when he arrived in the hall, he saw a middle-aged official in his early forties in official uniform holding a teacup, leisurely tasting tea, although he saw Lu Haosheng enter the hall, but he did not mean to get up, glanced at it, put down the teacup, Lu Haosheng had already walked into the hall, with his hands behind his back, looking at the middle-aged official with an expressionless face, but a pair of eyes were cold and abnormal.

"Who is Your Excellency?" The official looked at Lu Haosheng and asked lightly, "They said that you are the governor sent by the King of Qi?" ”

Lu Haosheng sneered: "After seeing the governor, still don't you pay homage?" ”

The official immediately laughed, as if he had heard something extremely funny, and sat on the chair with his back against the chair, "If you had seen someone, you would have broken your legs." You say you're the new governor, and the officer believes you're the new governor? Is there a person on the street called Hanako, shouting that he is the governor, and the official will also kneel down to pay respects? ”

"You're ......!" Lu Haosheng changed color, raised his hand and pointed at the official, "You dare to blaspheme the governor?" ”

The official got up slowly, put his hands behind his back, and walked in front of Lu Haosheng, Qiu Ruxue was outside the hall at this time, and did not come in, Chu Huan's instructions, he naturally did not forget, how Lu Haosheng did in Beishan, Qiu Ruxue watched coldly, and did not have to interfere.

"This official sues you, a few days ago, there were still people pretending to be Qincha and trying to cheat the silver." The official said lightly: "Do you know what the result is?" Broke his legs, cut his tongue, and threw it outside the city, now afraid that he has been taken by a wild wolf...... I ask you, you said that you are the new governor who has been sent, but does it have a will? ”

"Naturally." Lu Haosheng held back his anger and took out a document from his arms, "This is the appointment document personally approved by His Royal Highness the King of Fuguo Qi, open your eyes and see it clearly." ”

The official took the appointment paperwork, glanced at it, and threw it on the ground, and said coldly: "Come on, pull down this bold fanatic who pretends to be the governor and cut down ......!" ”

A few soldiers outside the door were about to rush in, and Qiu Ruxue said in a deep voice: "Wait." Holding the sword soldiers, across the door, several soldiers were stunned, and at this time they had already heard Lu Haosheng shouting angrily: "This is the appointment document approved by the prince of Qi, you ...... How dare you blaspheme like this? Hurriedly picked it up and said sharply: "You should be the one who should be beheaded." ”

"You said that it is a document approved by the prince of Qi, can there be the seal of the king of Qi on it? But with a signature, dare you say that it was signed by King Qi? The official said coldly: "Also, why doesn't there be the seal of the Governor of Chu on this?" It must be fake. ”

"Governor Chu?" Lu Haosheng couldn't help but clench his fists, "Appoint and remove the Governor of Beishan, and it is the turn of the Governor of Xiguan to seal it?" ”

The official sneered: "Of course, the Governor of Chu has quelled the rebellion, and now that the candidate for the Governor of Beishan is undecided, the will of the Holy Majesty is not enough, otherwise the current situation in the northwest, how can the Governor of Chu sit idly by?" The candidate for the governor of Beishan is so important, how can the governor of Chu not have the slightest news coming? ”

Lu Haosheng was furious, but fortunately, at this time, Qiu Ruxue finally entered the hall, and when the officials saw Lu Haosheng brought to the hall, they changed color slightly, only thinking that Qiu Ruxue was Lu Haosheng's subordinate, with bad intentions, and shouted: "Who are you?" If you don't retreat and bring a knife into the hall, what do you want? He shouted, "Come on, take them down." ”

The soldiers rushed over again, but Qiu Ruxue had already asked, "Are you Sun Yun, the governor of Xinzhou?" ”

"Of course, this official."

"That's good." Qiu Ruxue took out an object from his arms and threw it to Sun Yun, the governor of Xinzhou, "Governor Chu is expected to have twists and turns, you can see for yourself, this is a letter of introduction from Governor Chu, this person is indeed the new governor sent by King Qi, Lord Lu." ”

Sun Yun took it and swept it, but it was clearly written on it, it was Lu Haosheng, the new governor appointed by King Qi, who came to take up the post, and he didn't have too many words, but there was the seal of the governor of Xishan below.

When Sun Yun saw the seal, her expression froze, she became respectful, carefully folded the letter of introduction, presented it to Qiu Ruxue, and asked, "Your Excellency?" ”

Qiu Ruxue said: "I am on an errand by the side of Chu Du, this time I was sent by Chu Du to escort Lord Lu to take up his post, Qiu Ruxue is me." ”

Sun Yun immediately stood in awe, and arched his hand: "It turns out that you are the legendary Qiu Daxia, you have admired it for a long time, and the lower officials have heard of it, there is a righteous Qiu Daxia beside Chu Du, who is powerful in all directions, I see it today, Sansheng is lucky, come quickly, come to tea, Qiu Daxia, please take a seat, please take a seat." Hunched over, invited again and again, Qiu Ruxue snorted his mouth, Sun Yun reacted at this time, walked over to Lu Haosheng and smiled: "Lord Lu, it's really rude, the officials are clumsy, please surrender." ”

Lu Haosheng snorted coldly, and was not polite, and asked: "Sun Yun, this governor asks you, the king of Qi ordered to protect the governor's palace, why did the governor's palace become like that?" ”

Sun Yun arched his hand and said: "Lord Lu, the lower official did borrow an order, saying that he wanted to guard the governor's palace, and the lower official did send someone to guard it, but ...... My lord, the governor's palace burned down like that, there was nothing worth guarding at all, and the lower officials sent people to guard it for a few days, and in the middle of the night, those soldiers ran away by themselves, saying that it was haunted over there......! ”

"Nonsense." Lu Haosheng frowned and said, "How can it be haunted?" ”

"I can't tell this subordinate official, anyway, I went a few times, and they all said that the night was scary, and there were ghosts, so the soldiers didn't dare to go, and the subordinate couldn't kill them?" Sun Yun said: "And there is really nothing there, the fire that should be burned and should not be burned has been burned clean, and there is really no one who goes there, what did it look like at that time, except that the Criminal Department Department sent someone to inspect it and collected a few corpses, which are generally still like that." ”

Qiu Ruxue suddenly interjected: "Where are those coffins?" ”

"Qiu Daxia, I found a yard and parked there first." Sun Yun hurriedly said: "I haven't dared to move, waiting for orders from above to see how to deal with it." ”

Qiu Ruxue nodded slightly and stopped talking.

Lu Haosheng strode to the chair where Sun Yun was sitting just now, sat down, and said, "Sun Yun, this governor asks you, does Xiao Huanzhang have many stores in Beishan?" It is said that his shop pù is all over the three states of Beishan, not only corrupt and pervert the law, but also manipulate the business of the shop pù behind his back, and exploit a large amount of money, is there such a thing? ”

Sun Yun arched his hand and said: "Xiao Huanzhang's father and son are insatiable and exploit the people, and they deserve death. Lord Lu, although the lower official is the governor of Xinzhou, but there has never been any real power, Xiao Huanzhang is in Shuoquan City, and the yamen of each department is also controlled by his people, although the lower official is nominally the governor of Xinzhou, in fact, the real power cannot be compared with the governor of Qingzhou and Ganzhou, the governor of Tiangao is far away, they are outside, and they can still manage some things in their hands, and the lower official is under Xiao Huanzhang's nose, and he is not willing to exploit the people with him, so he has always been just a name, he knows less, and he does even less......! ”

Lu Haosheng sneered: "Don't be in a hurry to wash away your guilt, Beishan official, whoever is guilty and who is not guilty, this governor will naturally investigate in detail." After a pause, he said: "You first help the governor to sort out Xiao Huanzhang's family wealth, and confiscate all of it, if you do a good job, the governor will naturally open up and give you a chance to atone for your sins." ”

"Lord Lu, sort out Xiao Huanzhang's family wealth?" Sun Yun frowned and said: "This Xiaguan is really powerless, Xiao Huanzhang's family wealth, Xiaguan doesn't know anything, he knows his governor's mansion, but now it is burned to ashes, and the things in the mansion are almost burned, and the things that can still be used in it have been put in the courtyards that have not been burned down, and there is nothing valuable at all, and besides that, Xiaguan doesn't know anything else." ”

"Xiao Huanzhang is corrupt and extravagant, you say that he has nothing of value in the Governor's Palace?" Lu Haosheng sneered: "Sun Yun, you know that Xiao Huanzhang was corrupt and perverted the law and ended up dead, and this governor advises you to think twice." ”

"Lord Lu is saying that the lower officials are greedy for the property of the Governor's Mansion?" Sun Yun's face showed displeasure, "Your Excellency can go to investigate, after the fire burned, the lower officials learned the news, immediately blocked the scene, sent someone to put out the fire, after the fire, it was also in front of everyone to count the property, the remaining things were also sealed in the courtyards of zài, there was nothing valuable at all." If Lord Lu didn't believe it, he could have been punished now, but the lower officials had countless witnesses, and if they bent the law for corruption, the lower officials would really not accept it. ”

"Are you saying that after the fire in Xiao Huanzhang's Governor's Mansion, he couldn't find even a tael of silver?" Lu Haosheng stared at Sun Yun's eyes, "As far as this governor knows, he lives a life of extreme poverty and luxury, there are many antiques, and many utensils in his house are made of gold, silver or jade, is it all gone?" ”

"Although the lower officials are also strange, this is all true." Sun Yun said: "After Xiao Huanzhang died, the Governor's Mansion was the governor's wife, and it is said that before the Governor's Mansion burned down, the Governor's wife dismissed all the people in the Governor's Palace, and everyone gave severance pay...... If the Governor's Mansion really has gold and silver property, I am afraid that the Governor's wife will also handle it. ”

Lu Haosheng's face sank again, and his heart sank too.

"And what about Xiao Huanzhang's storefronts?"

Sun Yun shook his head and said: "Xia Guan doesn't know, since Xiao Huanzhang is operating behind the scenes, of course these places will not let others know, the father and son of the Xiao family are dead, and the Mrs. Xiao is also dead, I'm afraid no one knows which stores are Xiao Huanzhang's private property." ”

Lu Haosheng groaned slightly, and suddenly sneered: "This is not difficult for the governor, and the governor naturally has a way to know." Xiao Huanzhang exploits the people, and the merchants will not avoid it, as long as he goes to the Department of Households to investigate, other shops, he is naturally heavily taxed, and his own shops will naturally evade taxes, as long as it is found in the Department of Households, those shops pay less commercial tax or even do not pay commercial tax, then even if it is not Xiao Huanzhang's industry, it will inevitably collude with Xiao Huanzhang, and all of them will be confiscated. ”

Qiu Ruxue was silent, but he thought in his heart, this Lu Haosheng is not an ordinary person after all, and this method is to the point.

saw that Sun Yun had already shook his head and said, "Lord Lu, the method is excellent, but this thing can't be done." ”

"Why?" Lu Haosheng said in a deep voice: "What the governor wants to do, is there anyone who dares to interfere with it, this governor will definitely investigate the family wealth of the Xiao family's father and son from the Ministry of Households, and no one can stop it." ”

"Lord Lu, it's not that the lower officials don't have the courage to do so, it's just that Beishan no longer has the Household Division." Sun Yun looked weird, "If there is no Zài in the Household Division, the adults naturally have nowhere to check." ”
