At the beginning of November, a group of people led by Luo Qing, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, arrived in Nanchang City, because they were ordered by Emperor Yongle to thoroughly investigate the case of Li Yuntian's embezzlement of ink, and belonged to the imperial court sent down the Qincha, so a group of officials from the Jiangxi Political Division, the Inspectorate Department and the Capital Division personally went out of the city to greet them. Watch the latest chapter of Perfect World, and look at it quickly.

Luo Qing did not stay in Nanchang City for long, and set off for Jiujiang City the next day, but he did not immediately interrogate Li Yuntian, who was imprisoned in an official residence, but took the lead in inspecting the case of suppressing bandits in Hukou County.

Since Long Ye's bandits' nest is in the waters of Linjiang Mansion, this time the extermination of Long Ye's water bandits is regarded as a joint case between Jiujiang Mansion and Linjiang Mansion, with Jiujiang Mansion as the main and Linjiang Mansion as the secondary.

Therefore, the prefect of Linjiang Prefecture also rushed to Jiujiang Mansion, and in addition to the more than 1,000 water bandits detained on the boundary of Jiujiang Prefecture, the remaining three or four hundred water bandits were detained in Linjiang Mansion.

At the end of August, Yang Demin signed a document with the prefect of Linjiang Prefecture to assist in the suppression of bandits, which was implemented by Yang Demin on his own initiative.

According to that document, the prefect of Linjiang Prefecture allowed people from Jiujiang Prefecture to enter the waters of Linjiang Prefecture to suppress bandits, which gave Zhao Hua and others a legal basis for cross-regional law enforcement.

Not only the prefect of Linjiang Mansion, but even Yang Demin left it behind after signing this document, where did he think that Li Yuntian was so bold that he actually thought of ending the lair of Master Long.

After on-the-spot investigation, Luo Qing and the others could already confirm that the victory reported by Jiujiang Mansion to suppress bandits was true, and it was impossible for those black and oppressive water bandits in the cell to deceive under any circumstances.

Therefore, Luo Qing quickly wrote to Emperor Yongle to indicate the matter, and according to the usual practice, after the trial of Li Yuntian's case was concluded, all those who had meritorious service in suppressing bandits would be rewarded by the imperial court.

Naturally, the greatest credit belongs to Li Yuntian, but unfortunately he is now a guilty body, and he can only receive this credit when the greedy ink case is over, because once he is found guilty, then this credit is likely to be deprived.

Li Yuntian's hip injury has healed, and his daily range of activities is a small courtyard that is strictly guarded, and he has never been so leisurely and comfortable as he is now.

For Li Yuntian, the longer this kind of leisurely life, the more beneficial it is for him, and it is obvious that Cui Hui has lost control of the current situation, and he may not have sent someone down to investigate his case.

Although he doesn't know anything about the development of the case, Li Yuntian believes that as long as it is a lie, there will be flaws in the end, and what he loves to do now is to wait and see what happens, and find a way to find out the flaws during the court trial and expose the lies on the other side.

After solving the matter of the water bandits, Luo Qing began to deal with Li Yuntian's greed for ink, at this time, the people of the household department had already checked the accounts of the Chen family, the Zheng family and the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, and there was no problem with the slightest problem, and there was no problem with any money.

The Ministry of Industry also carefully inspected the newly built water conservancy, roads, bridges, and wharves in Hukou County, and they came to a conclusion that the materials used in these projects were all genuine, and there was no act of cutting corners, and the quality of the works was of high quality.

Luo Qing led people to conduct spot checks on those projects, and sure enough, as the people from the Ministry of Industry said, the quality was superior and extremely strong.

However, what impressed Luo Qing the most was Baishui Town, and when he went to inspect the newly repaired wharf in Baishui Town, he took him to the Baishui Town Trading Market.

Although the current trading market looks a little depressed because of the impact of Li Yuntian's case and the fact that it is in the off-season, the scale and momentum of the market are still refreshing to him, and it seems that Li Yuntian has put a lot of effort here.

After Luo Qing and his party entered Baishui Town, the Baishui Town Inspection Division was responsible for maintaining order at the scene, Luo Qing saw that the sergeants of the Inspection Division were all strong and energetic, and he was very surprised in his heart, it seemed that the sergeants of these Inspection Division were not inferior to the most elite border troops of the Ming Dynasty.

Later, Luo Qingcai learned from Cheng Wangyu of Hukou County, who accompanied him to investigate the case, that the Baishui Town Inspection Division implemented a recruitment system, and was not forced to recruit people like other inspection departments, so it was able to recruit high-quality soldiers, which was also the main reason why the Baishui Town Inspection Division was able to win in previous battles with water bandits.

In addition to the bandit tax collected by the county, the military salary of the sergeant of the Baishui Town Inspection Department has been gradually transferred to the public security tax levied by the merchants of Baishui Town, and the bandit tax will be abolished after the water bandits on Poyang Lake are exterminated, and the public security tax will become an important source of military salary for the Baishui Town Inspection Department.

Luo Qing understood that the Baishui Town Trading Market and the Baishui Town Inspection Division were actually complementary to each other, and the two sides promoted each other and grew together, so that the burden of the people was relieved.

As for Li Yuntian's reputation among the people, it is not to be said, Luo Qing and others can meet local people kneeling on the side of the road to shout grievances to Li Yuntian wherever they go.

The people have a scale in their hearts, and their thoughts are simple, and whoever is good to them will be remembered in their hearts.

In Luo Qing's view, it is not easy for Li Yuntian's magistrate to be this position, and if he is not greedy for ink, he can definitely be called a model of the Ming magistrate and a model of the new science and technology jinshi.

Not only that, Luo Qing also listened to the opinions of the officials of Jiujiang Prefecture on Li Yuntian, he was looking for someone to talk to alone, and as a result, everyone spoke highly of Li Yuntian, it seems that Li Yuntian is a good person in the officialdom, and no one took the opportunity to fall into the ground.

After some on-the-spot investigation, Luo Qing already had a rough inference in his heart about whether Li Yuntian was greedy for ink, and what he had to do now was to open a court to try the case and find out the truth of the case.

In late November, Li Yuntian and Luo Qing finally interrogated Li Yuntian, and the location was set at the Jiujiang Mansion Office, which made Jiujiang City empty of thousands of people, and people surrounded the government office, so that Yang Demin had to mobilize a large number of people to maintain order.

Jiujiang City's ** readjusted the handicap, due to Luo Qing and others' inspection in Hukou County some time ago, the well-informed ** bosses have raised the odds that Li Yuntian is a corrupt official, and lowered the odds of Li Yuntian being a clean official, so that the odds of the two are in balance.

This means that it is impossible to judge whether Li Yuntian can win this lawsuit now.

The night before the opening of the hall, Li Yuntian was asked to take a shower, and the shaver repaired his hairstyle, and he immediately realized from this unusual behavior that he was about to be arraigned, and his heart was both expectant and a little apprehensive.

According to the process, Luo Qing took the lead in arraignating the accusers of the case, Shi An, Liu Ming and Gu Manfu, before it was Li Yuntian and Lu Cao's turn.

In order to avoid Li Yuntian and Lu Calyx from confessing, when waiting for Luo Qing's summons in the wing room of the back hall, the two were separated and detained, Li Yuntian sat on the chair and closed his eyes to recuperate, today's court trial will be his first tough battle after coming to Hukou County, and I don't know how Lu Calyx, Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou are doing now.

"Li Zhixian, it's time for you to go to court!" I don't know how long it took, but a servant walked into the room and said to Li Yuntian in a deep voice.

Li Yuntian opened his eyes, got up and tidied up the official robe and black yarn on his body, and strode out with the official, through the corridor and courtyard, and entered the lobby through the side door.

His appearance immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall, and even the people in the courtyard outside the hall stood on tiptoe.

Li Yuntian noticed that there were three strange officials sitting side by side in the lobby that he had never seen, except for the one on the left who was Zheng Sipin, the other two were Zheng Sanpin.

Cui Hui and Yang Demin, as well as the officials of the Jiangxi Political Envoy Department and the Inspectorate Division, sat on the left and right seats under the hall, and there were two groups of people kneeling in the open space in front of the hall, one group was Shi An, Liu Ming and Gu Manfu, and the other group was Green Calyx.

Since the separation in Ruichang County, Li Yuntian saw the green calyx for the first time, and the green calyx looked in good spirits and had a good complexion, which made him secretly relieved, but it was just ...... It's just that the lower abdomen of the green calyx is flat, and it doesn't look like it's five or six months pregnant.

Although he had been mentally prepared, Li Yuntian's eyes still flashed a gloomy look, he knew that the child of the green calyx was gone, and then glanced coldly at Cui Hui who was sitting there, his eyes were full of anger.

Cui Hui saw Li Yuntian's eyes full of hatred, and his brows suddenly wrinkled tightly, he knew that he and Li Yuntian's Liang Zi had grown up, and he would definitely be the kind of opponent you would live and die in the future.

"Li Yuntian, the magistrate of Xiaguan Hukou County, see all the adults." Li Yuntian quickly adjusted his excitement, and after exhaling deeply, he bowed his hand to the officials present and saluted in a deep voice.

"Li Zhixian, this official is Luo Qing, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, this is Lord Chen, the right deputy of the Imperial Palace, and this is Lord Qin, the left Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who was ordered by the emperor to try this case."

Luo Qing showed his identity and intention to Li Yuntian expressionlessly, and looked at him quietly, "Someone accused you of taking bribes, can you plead guilty?" ”

"Lord Luo, Xia Guan has been law-abiding since he took office in Hukou County, and he never dared to take a step beyond Lei Chi." Li Yuntian bowed to Luo Qing and replied loudly.

"Since you didn't do this, then why did your two concubines disappear after the crime?" Luo Qing looked at Li Yuntian with a stern expression, "Could it be that the two of them absconded in fear of crime?" ”

"Lord Luo, although the lower officials don't know where they went, they are willing to use the black veil on their heads as a guarantee, they are definitely not absconding for fear of crime, they must be looking for clues related to this case."

Li Yuntian pondered for a moment, and looked at Luo Qing with a resolute expression, "Xia Guan believes that as long as they find clues, they will definitely come back and wait for the fate of the adults." ”

When he saw that there was only a green calyx kneeling in the lobby, Li Yuntian knew that Chen Ningning and Zheng Wanrou were not caught by the people of the government, of course he knew that it was impossible for the two to escape, so the only reason was that the two went to look for clues related to the case despite their pregnancy.

"The official doesn't have time to wait for them, and if they don't show up when the official is trying the case, then the official can only assume that they accepted the bribes." Luo Qing sneered and looked at Li Yuntian expressionlessly, "Li Zhixian, the people who patrolled the Imperial History Yamen found five thousand taels of silver tickets in your study, and it was verified that it was the money that Shi An gave to your concubine Chen at that time, how do you explain this?" ”

"What?" Li Yuntian couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Cui Hui in surprise, he didn't expect Cui Hui to be so despicable that he would frame him.

Cui Hui sat there with a stern expression, a cold smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, even Li Yuntian couldn't imagine that he would be framed, so not to mention the others, with these five silver tickets and Shi An's confession, then it was a complete chain of evidence, and Li Yuntian couldn't get out of it if he said anything.

Seeing this, the people in the courtyard outside the lobby couldn't help but feel a small commotion, and everyone could see that Li Yuntian was a little caught off guard in the face of the five thousand taels of silver tickets. One
