Chapter 81: Li Xin is imprisoned

According to Li Xin's thoughts, the first thing to do now is to destroy the evidence, and strive to solve all these things when Hao Jian comes to his senses.

The bandits besieged the city, and according to Li Xin's thoughts, even if Hao Jian had great ability, it was impossible to solve all the problems, so there was still a lot of time left for them.

The bandits in Qingxi County are difficult to deal with, this is known to everyone, and even the border army of the Dakang Dynasty has once appeared in front of them, not to mention a small Jiupin Zhi County, which naturally has only the unlucky share in front of this group of people.

"Yo, Li Xiancheng, what are you busy with?"

However, something that made Li Xin's head tighten still happened, and no one expected that Hao Jian would actually appear at the gate at this time, looking at Li Xin with a smile.

Li Xin, who was originally bald, saw Hao Jian, and his face changed slightly: "No, Lord Hao, you want to take over Qingxi County, I naturally want to prepare the accounts of Qingxi County for you, so that you can see it!" ”

"I see, what is burning outside?"

Hao Jian smiled, then took out a dozen accounts and threw them on the table in front of him.

Fortunately, his reaction speed was still good, and after appearing with the people, he still snatched a lot of accounts from Chang Wei and other officials, especially some key accounts, and he kept all the key accounts.

Seeing the accounts on the table, Li Xin's face changed: "Since Lord Hao has already found it, then there is no way for the lower officials." ”

These evidences were fatal to Li Xin, especially since these accounts also appeared in Hao Jian's hands, and it could be said that they wanted his life.

Although he didn't know what Hao Jian had done in Qingxi County before, he understood that this Hao Jian was not as simple as he thought.

Originally, Li Xin also wanted to use his subordinate officials to resist, after all, he still had combat effectiveness such as government servants and military households, but after Hao Jian spread out the accounts, more than a dozen Praetorian Guard soldiers popped up around Hao Jian, and without saying a word, he tied up all the classics, scribes and others around Li Xin.

"I didn't expect Lord Hao to solve the bandit problem so quickly, it was Li's carelessness."

At this time, Li Xin naturally had no choice but to admit defeat, put his hand in front of Hao Jian, and made a gesture of surrender.

As Hao Jian nodded, the Praetorian Guards also acted quickly and detained Li Xinye.

At this time, the corruption group headed by Li Xin in Qingxi County was finally collected by Hao Jian.

"It's troublesome now, the entire Qingxi County officials have been imprisoned, and I am the only one left who knows the county."

Hao Jian looked at the captured documents and officials and frowned, after all, this Li Xin has been entrenched in Qingxi County for too long, which one has nothing to do with Li Xin? Even though He Yanzheng, a big family, has a life-and-death enmity with Li Xin, it can be seen that Li Xin's face is still smiling, and he only dares to draw circles at home and curse others.

After a long time, the rules specified by Li Xin were the unwritten laws of Qingxi County, and they became regulations, although there was no explicit text, but with the development of events, everyone was finally united into a whole.

At this time, only Hao Jian had a headache.

Fortunately, he still has Li Daozheng and Duan Zichong and others by his side, and even has 10,000 Praetorian Guards as the backing, so he doesn't need to be the commander of the light pole.

In the next time, Hao Jian naturally reviewed these ledgers and accounts. After all, the bandits will not attack again in a short time, and even if they continue to attack, Hao Jian will have a way to scare them back.

Zhou Tai was frightened back for three or four miles before stabilizing the team, and asked one of the people who was exploring the path before: "There is an ambush inside, have you looked carefully?" ”

After all, Zhou Tai had fought in a serious battle, and he also knew the sophistry of the soldiers, especially after retreating for such a long time but no one chased him out, Hao Jian closed the city gate instead, which made Zhou Tai have to be suspicious.

"No, I didn't see ...... clearly"

It was only at this time that the bandits who were exploring the path suddenly remembered that they really didn't seem to see many ambushes before, but only saw a lot of people rushing towards them, and they were also driven by fear to shout the slogan of ambush.

At this time, Zhou Tai also realized that he might have been fooled, and immediately ordered hundreds of strong generals to prepare to attack back.

But Hao Jian has already explained how to deal with it next, as long as Zhou Tai counterattacks them, they will open the city gate again, this time they will really prepare an ambush, as long as Zhou Tai really dares to enter the city, then Zhou Tai will have a better time.

Zhou Tai, who had suffered a loss, frowned when he saw that the city gate was actually open again, this time there were no welcoming people at the city gate, not even a single person.

Without thinking about it, Zhou Tai decided that this was an empty city plan that Hao Jian had sung once, so he gave an order to his henchmen around him and rushed towards the city.

This result is naturally conceivable, just rushed into the city gate, and before he had occupied Chengnei for a long time, the rain of arrows in the sky was coming towards Zhou Tai. Although the Praetorian Guard has not had a flash ancient battlefield for a long time, it still has conventional combat capabilities, such as a simple bow and arrows, after all, it is often performed for the emperor to see, so a rain of arrows still injured many people, and even Zhou Tai himself ate an arrow.

Zhou Tai, who was ambushed, naturally didn't dare to stay, so he had to retreat with Queen Rencang: "Hao Jian, you wait for me, I will come back one day." ”

After Zhou Tai left, he left directly with the bandits, after all, this time in Qingxi County, their wolf's tooth village was a big shame, and it was shameless to continue to besiege the city.

The thieves are gone, this is a fortunate thing, after all, Qingxi County has been bullied by the thieves for so many years, and finally took revenge today, and couldn't help but win once, and was able to capture many thieves in one fell swoop, which is the biggest harvest for the people of Qingxi County.

After all, in the eyes of the people, evil cannot prevail over good, and if there is a first time, there will be a second time.

Not only was the problem of the bandits solved that made the people of Qingxi County so happy, but just now it was reported from the county government that Li Xin was arrested, and Chang Wei, the inspector, was arrested, and even the post of the county government could not escape.

So the whole Qingxi County was boiling, and the people applauded, and after looking forward to it for a long time, the wicked finally tasted the evil fruits.

It can be said that the whole Qingxi County is very happy today, just like a festival, almost all the people are full of lights, and they are happy.

"Okay, Lord Hao Jianhao has finally made a force!"

Among them, the happiest is the big family He Yanzheng, after he heard that Li Xin was finally imprisoned, he was very happy to open his small ancestral hall, throw Li Xin's spiritual seat on the ground, and laughed.

Finally, after many years of worship, and the curse of drawing circles in the corner has a response, He Yanzheng is naturally very happy, and when he gives an order to let the house prepare food, he can invite Hao Jian and others to his house to treat.

The people outside were happy, but Hao Jian was sad.

There is no other reason, he checked the evidence of Li Xin's crime, a large part of the sparse article, but the number of people involved is too much, the county government documents, small officials, canons, officials, sedan chair drivers, craftsmen, post officials and a series of officials, none of them are not related to Li Xin.

If it is really to be dealt with strictly, I am afraid that hundreds of people from the back office of the entire Qingxi County will have to go in.

Originally, there was a shortage of two-thirds of the officials in Qingxi County, large and small, and then all the officials, sedan chair men, and servants were arrested, not only did no one do anything in Qingxi County, but the local heroes and strongmen also did not do it on the second day, after all, most of the local officials came from these families.

"It's really hateful that such a small Qingxi County has been exploited so badly that it has become a small empire."

Looking at the account book, even Li Daozheng, who has been in officialdom for a long time, widened his eyes, he didn't expect that this is just a small border county, although the strategic location is important, but it is still not as big as a big city like Jingshi, but the numbers in and out of this account book also made his eyes widen.

Hao Jian glanced at the account book and sighed: "What I'm worried about is not the corruption and exploitation on it, but half of the income on this account book has fallen into the hands of others, which shows that this corruption empire is not as simple as a small Qingxi County!" ”

He also knows a lot about ancient Hao Jian, and he has also heard that the ancient bureaucratic system is prone to corruption and corruption.

But when he really came into contact with this account book, Hao Jiancai couldn't help but sigh, the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes on it were basically nonsense by local officials, and the purpose was to collect money. And the most infuriating thing is that the local squire will prepare a sum of silver every year to hand over to the patrol room, inspection, master, and county order, which is called a reward fee to reward and thank the local officials for their hard work for a year.

It's become an unwritten rule that is paid almost at a certain time of the year.

"Hehe, there is actually my name on it, 100,000 taels a year, and it is divided into four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Oh, it turns out that the so-called ice respect and carbon respect were given by them, and I have always been given by the imperial court! ”

Zhao Guangyi looked at the roster and smiled stupidly, looking very proud.

Of course, as the largest civilian military general at the border gate, Zhao Guangyi, who is a relative of the emperor, will naturally become the core target of bribery. And these so-called ice tributes are given in the summer, which means that you need ice to spend the summer, and this money is regarded as my filial piety to buy ice for you, and the same is true of carbon tribute. Of course, in addition to these, there are other festivals and filial piety, which are calculated to be seven seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver.

Glancing at Zhao Guangyi, Hao Jian sometimes really doesn't know what to say about this King of Guangning, if this thing is handed over to his elder brother, it is estimated that Emperor Xuanyao will definitely make trouble for him, although he will not say that he will be sentenced to death, but it is still possible to be confined for a few days.

"Now that these things are put aside, how should the problem of Qingxi County be solved?"

Hao Jian will naturally solve the problem of corruption, but how can the current state of Qingxi County be solved?

A huge county town has now fallen to the point where no one is available, and now there are princes, county orders, and fallen officials in front of them, but there is no grassroots official.

But the county order still has to operate, and these few people alone are obviously not enough.

"It's not unheard of something like you that hasn't happened before, I remember that there was a county order when the first emperor also encountered something like you, and the method that he came up with in the end was only to punish the first evil, and you can also do it."

After all, Li Daozheng is an old fritter in Guanhai, and he has heard of these things, so as long as he runs his head, he thinks of things, and it doesn't take much effort.

"In this way, the county Cheng Li Xin and the inspector Chang Wei are going to be questioned, and the canons and scribes are to deal with them at their discretion, and if the circumstances are serious, they will directly take the justice, and if they ask a little bit, they will let their families hand over the atonement money, and after paying enough, they will return to the county government office and reduce the income by half in the future."

Hao Jian thought for a while, and then he could only deal with it in this way.

"It's okay to do this~ Naturally, there is no problem, and those officials should be willing."

Li Daozheng touched his beard and nodded, very much agreeing with Hao Jian's way of dealing with it.

Zhao Guangyi didn't pay attention to the matter discussed between Hao Jian and Li Daozheng, but concentrated on studying the account book, shaking his head while looking at it: "I didn't expect that the governor and the Taoist platform were like this, and the three emperor brothers also received money, well, I will look for him after a while, maybe I can get some money!" ”

For Zhao Guangyi, of course, Hao Jian chose to ignore it, after experiencing the baptism of Zhao Guangyi's glorious deeds, Hao Jian could only sigh that the eight characters of the Dakang Dynasty were good, so the toss had not been tossed and collapsed, and it also had the reputation of the prosperous era.

At the same time, Hao Jian is also curious about such a prince, okay~ Things are like this, how did he get elected as the king of this town, is it because he is the brother of the emperor Lao Tzu, and he casually bought a cute in front of the emperor's brother and took office?

So does Zhao Kuangyin also have a problem with his brain?

Now Hao Jian doesn't have time to think about this problem, after all, he still has his own affairs to deal with now, first of all, he has to go to see Li Xin in the prison to see if he can get something out of the mouth of this county Cheng.

Qingxi County is not simple, Hao Jian now feels more and more like this.

No matter how important the position of a local county commander is, it is impossible for a new official to take office, and he is accompanied by a former third-rank officer, followed by the son of a military squire, and there are a thousand palace-exclusive Praetorian Guards in his hands, and an unreliable prince even pops up later.

The reasons for their appearance in Qingxi County are different, but after arriving in Qingxi County, they naturally twisted into a rope, saying that there is no conspiracy behind them, and it is estimated that no one will believe it.
