Liu Qingshan, who came to inquire, nodded his head and said, "Yes, about this matter, Qingrui's analysis is quite accurate!" ”

Qin Xuan saw that Liu Qingshan also said the same, and after thinking about it for a while, he asked: "Okay, Qingrui's words, I also think there is some truth, but what should we do at this moment?" ”

Liu Qingshan shook his head slightly and said: "Well, in fact, the old man is not very clear, but it is best to wait for the rain to stop, go to the river embankment to have a look, maybe you can find any problems!" There is also a good talk with Master Yang, the old man always feels that Master Yang seems to know something! ”

Qin Xuan nodded thoughtfully, and said, "Well, then wait for the rain to stop before making a decision!" After a pause, he spoke again: "As for Master Yang, I will take the time to talk to him!" ”

The heavy rain didn't seem to stop, and it wasn't until the third day that he reluctantly left. Looking at the long-lost daylight, Qin Xuan's mood also became better, standing at the door, raising his head slightly, enjoying the cordial warmth.

Li Qingrui came slowly, walked in front of Qin Xuan, and said with a smile: "Childe, the sun is shining, I'm afraid that in a few days, the water level of the river will move down, and we can go to investigate!" ”

Qin Xuan heard Li Qingrui's words and blurted out: "Yes, if I don't go again, maybe the people of Baojia Village will doubt me!" ”

"Hehe-Childe, I can ask us to investigate the matter of the river embankment, and it is best to repair the river embankment under the guise of repairing the river embankment, so as not to be seen by the Jiang family, and then cause some unnecessary trouble!"

Hearing this, Qin Xuan turned his head to look at Li Qingrui, nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Not bad, Qingrui!" You think about things more comprehensively than me, and you are more suitable to be the county magistrate! ”

"Childe, you are really good at laughing, let me stand aside and take a look, maybe I can still see something, if I am asked to be in charge of something, it will not be as smart as Childe!"

When Qin Xuan heard this, he secretly said in his heart: Actually, I just heard a lot of things in the later life, if I take it seriously, I am really not as good as Qingrui, it seems that I have to learn from Qingrui...... Qin Xuan thought to himself for a long time, and blurted out: "Qingrui, you are just too modest!" Okay, let's not talk about it, come with me to meet Master Yang! ”

In the right courtyard of the county government, in the inner hall, Yang Linqiu squatted in the corner, turning over an old wooden box. muttered to himself, "It seems that it's time for these things to appear too!" ”

Qin Xuan, who happened to walk to the door, heard this, walked in with a smile, and asked, "Master Yang, what should appear, can you let this official also take a look?" ”

When Yang Linqiu heard this, he hurriedly turned around, and when he saw Qin Xuan, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "What did the adults say, these things were originally the things that the lower officials were going to give to the adults!" ”

Qin Xuan walked towards Yang Linqiu and asked with a hint of curiosity, "Give it to this official?" I want to see it! ”

Walking to the side of the wooden box, Qin Xuan bent down and picked up a folded book in the box, and flipped through it. I saw Qin Xuan's face slowly become solemn, frowned, and asked softly: "Master Yang, can what is written on this folding book be true?" ”

Yang Linqiu smiled slightly, nodded, and replied: "That's natural, this is all collected by Xia Guan in recent years, and he has spent a lot of time making a special trip!" ”

Qin Xuan closed the folded book in his hand and said excitedly: "Master Yang, you have really done the official a great favor!" ”

Yang Linqiu still looked calm and relaxed, and said slowly: "Could it be that Lord Qin left Kyoto, and the Fang Xiang didn't explain the situation to the adults?" ”

Qin Xuan couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and suddenly felt that the Yang master book in front of him must not be simple, and replied with a little respect: "The Fang minister only said that he would be transferred to Yuhang as the county commander, but in fact, he had something to do, but he never explained it to him!" ”

Yang Linqiu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This Fang Xuanling, he actually let you come here without knowing it, he really dares!" ”

Qin Xuan thought about it for a moment from Yang Linqiu's words, and then said with a smile: "Listening to Master Yang's words, I'm afraid it has a lot to do with the room!" ”

"Yes, Xia Guan and Fang Xuanling used to be friends in the same village!"

Qin Xuan nodded slightly and said: "In this case, presumably what Fang Xiang refers to, Master Yang should also know, then explain it to me!" ”

Yang Linqiu glanced at Qin Xuan and said with a smile: "In recent years, the salt tax in Hangzhou has been greedy for ink, and the lower officials have secretly investigated for several years, and finally found this box of evidence. But I didn't expect that after waiting for a month, I would wait for an adult to come to take office! Later, the lower official received a letter from the prime minister, stating that His Majesty asked the adult to come and deal with the lower official together! ”

When Qin Xuan heard this, he said apologetically: "Hey, I really didn't expect that coming down would hinder Master Yang's future!" ”

Yang Linqiu stretched out his hand and waved it, and said with a smile: "In recent days, the lower officials have observed the adults for a long time, and the adults' handling of the silkworm cocoons is admirable!" So, Xia Guan also figured out that instead of getting this credit alone, it is better to investigate the case with adults and make contributions! ”

"That'...... In the next first, thank you for the great grace of Master Yang! Qin Xuan bowed deeply, then changed his words and asked: "Even if you and I find out something, just with a Yuhang County Order and a Yuhang Master Book, I'm afraid we won't be able to influence Hangzhou's salt tax and greed for ink!" ”

"Lord Qin, don't be like this! As long as the adult borrows Jiang Kejin to repair the river embankment and collect money, the lower officials have their own ways to assist the adults to deal with the matter of Hangzhou's embezzlement of ink! For now, adults should hurry up and deal with the matter of the embankment! As Yang Linqiu spoke, he took out a folding book from the wooden box, handed it to Qin Xuan, and continued: "Here is a list of people who have repaired the river embankment over the years, and it has been clearly written how these personnel assisted Jiang Kejin in collecting money. Adults can take them down one by one, and they will be interrogated! ”

Qin Xuan took the folding book given by Yang Linqiu, opened it immediately, and after reading it carefully for a long time, he walked straight to the desk on the side, copied the name on the folding book, turned around and said, "Qingrui, gather the officials!" ”

After a short time, Qin Xuan changed into his official robe and stood on the steps at the entrance of the lobby of the right courtyard of the county government, and the thirty or forty officials below stood majestically.

Qin Xuan coughed lightly and shouted loudly: "This official has secretly investigated recently, and learned that the people who repaired the embankment of the Nanqu River in previous years cut corners in private. Therefore, today, I am ready to take everyone to take people and capture these scourges one by one! ”

"Yes—" Qi brushed the ground, making Qin Xuan very happy.

"Zhou Ronghao, with ten servants. Take this list, take down all the people written on it, and put them in prison directly! Qin Xuan turned his head to look at Zhou Ronghao and said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Zhou Ronghao stepped forward to take the straw paper, turned around and ordered the ten officials, and turned to leave.

Qin Xuan looked at the remaining servants, and then shouted: "The rest of the people, wait for you, go to the Jiang family with this official!" ”

Qin Xuan rushed to Jiang's house with nearly thirty servants and rushed directly into the mansion.

Jiang Kejin, who came to hear the news, hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Lord Qin, what do you mean by this?" ”

Qin Xuan smiled slightly: "I'm really sorry, Jiang Kejin, someone told this official that you borrowed the matter of repairing the embankment of the Nanqu River to collect money." ”

When Jiang Kejin heard this, he immediately panicked and shouted: "I didn't, I repaired the embankment of the Nanqu River for the sake of the people of Baojia Village, this is a good deed!" ”

Qin Xuan snorted coldly and said with a smile: "These words, I will say them when this official interrogates them!" After speaking, he turned to the official and said, "Seal up the Jiang family on the spot, and no one will be allowed to come in, and no one will be allowed to go out!" ”

Jiang Kejin saw that Qin Xuan was serious, so he shouted loudly: "Qin Xuan, you are taking the opportunity to take revenge on me!" Don't think that you can be lawless with a small county order, and don't forget that you still have Hangzhou Thorn Mansion above you! ”

Qin Xuan pursed his lips and said, "What, Jiang Kejin, are you scared, bring out your uncle to scare the official?" ”

"Lao Tzu will scare you, after this incident, Lao Tzu and you are not finished!"

Qin Xuan turned around and gave Jiang Kejin a big mouth, and said sharply: "Jiang Kejin, do you think you have done such a hurtful thing, will there be a future?" ”

As soon as Qin Xuanzhi finished speaking, a woman walked out from the side, smiled slightly, and said, "Lord Qin, what a great majesty!" Is it so sure that the Jiang family will be eaten? ”

Qin Xuan looked sideways when he heard this, saw the gorgeously dressed woman, and asked, "Who are you, this official is investigating the case, is it possible that you still want a woman to interfere?" ”

The woman smiled slightly and said, "The little woman Jiang Kongshi is Jiang Kejin's wife, and my lord wants to arrest my husband, can't I still ask?" ”

Qin Xuan smiled lightly. "What's the use, you ask? This matter has been ascertained by the official, and there is a lot of evidence! ”

Jiang Kejin on the side shouted loudly: "Qin Xuan, you wait, when my uncle knows about this, he will definitely give me justice!" ”

When the woman heard this, she whispered, "Master, don't be entangled with this guy, you can go to prison for a few days, and leave the rest to me!" ”

Qin Xuan looked at the husband and wife who had reached this juncture, and still had such confidence, and asked casually, "Really?" I want to see, what can you do? He turned his head to Li Qingrui and Xing Honglin and said, "Li Qingrui and Xing Honglin, you two will stay in the Jiang family, remember what the official said just now!" ”

Li Qingrui bowed slightly: "My lord, in my opinion, you should be able to enter and not out, in case someone outside the Jiang family learns the news and wantonly spreads rumors, it will not be good!" ”

Hearing this, Qin Xuan nodded, and said, "Okay, then you are allowed to enter or not to go out!" ”

When the woman on the side heard this, her face became solemn, and she stretched out her hand and pointed at Qin Xuan. "You-even if you're a county magistrate, you can't imprison us for no reason!"

"Humph!" Qin Xuan snorted coldly, then turned around and pointed at the two officials, and said, "You two will bring Jiang Kejin to the prison for this official, and the rest of the people will work hard for a day or two to guard the Jiang family!" ”

"Yes!"

Back at the county office, Qin Xuan rushed straight to the prison, sat in the middle of the prison, and waited for a while, Zhou Ronghao brought the people on the list back to the cell. Qin Xuan took the straw paper from Zhou Ronghao's hand and began to interrogate them one by one.
