"Is you that stupid?"

got Du Lan's eyes, and the tenth elder brother didn't care, "Before the lord hanged the dog official, he had already asked who the people who stole and sold the grain stored in the official warehouse, and even the account book, the master got it!" ”

If it weren't for the real evidence, even if the tenth elder brother listened to Du Lan's advice and did the right thing for the sky, it would be impossible for him to be so crazy. Of the officials in the entire county, more than 50 people were hanged by the tenth elder brother at the head of the city.

Such a brutal killing, when the news reaches the capital, it will inevitably be another uproar.

And the entire chain of interests of stealing and selling official grain, it is impossible for Kangxi not to see it. With Brother Shi's heavy hand, if Kangxi is lenient with the other officials involved in the case, how can he appease people's hearts?

"Lord Wang, you are amazing!"

Looking at the appearance of the tenth elder brother's cocked tail, Du Lan didn't mind praising him.

This time, Brother Ten did it beautifully. It not only punished those local dog officials, but also gave others a strong deterrent, and even affected the adults who were high in the temples in the capital.

If the imperial court does not severely punish these dog officials, then the forty thieves will still appear.

Speaking of the name of the Forty Thieves, it is purely Du Lan's bad taste.

The tenth elder brother agreed to use this name, but in fact, it was also pure to confuse the public.

Forty thieves, as soon as you hear the name, the number of this gang of horse bandits should be forty. In this way, if there are comrades of these dog officials who want to take revenge, then what awaits them will be a very cruel sinkhole.

Brother Ten was complacent here, and on the other side, the people in the interest chain who stole and sold official food responded as soon as they received the news.

A conspiracy against the Forty Thieves quickly unfolded.

Several villages and towns were sacked by forty thieves in a row, and the local government sent them to Beijing one by one, asking the imperial court to send troops to eliminate the thieves.

And all this, Ten Elder Brother and Du Lan knew nothing.

……

In the capital, Kangxi was a little haggard.

After all, he is old, and he has been worried too much since he was very young, and Kangxi at this time, although he looks like he is in the prime of life, he is actually a little powerless to the government.

The death of Prince Yu also had a considerable impact on Kangxi.

When the local help-seeking chapters were sent one after another, Kangxi found the prince.

"If the imperial court sends troops to eliminate thieves, who do you think is appropriate?"

Kangxi put a stack of recitals in front of the prince, among which there was naturally a share of the disaster sent by the tenth elder brother, and the officials did not act, and even resold the official grain.

"Let's take a look at these first!"

At this moment, Kangxi was actually wondering in his heart whether to let the prince slowly take over the power from his hands. And this time it was a test.

His previous words were actually a trap.

If the prince couldn't even see this trap, Kangxi would be very disappointed in the prince.

The prince read the chapters one by one, and during the period, he also read the chapter of the tenth elder brother, and as for the excerpt of the local government's request for help, the prince just picked up a few copies and read them, and then put down the excerpt.

"Huang Ama, the sons think that sending troops to eliminate thieves is not a top priority. The most important thing at the moment is to provide disaster relief and investigate the theft and sale of official food by the local government! ”

"What about the forty thieves?"

Kangxi was quite satisfied with the prince's answer, so he continued to ask.

"Forty thieves are just a minor issue. Even, Erchen thought that the forty thieves who killed the officials and the forty thieves who slaughtered the people in villages and towns were not the same group. ”
