Chapter Twenty-Seven: Rush to Tongzhou to thoroughly investigate the corruption of ink
Lu Yi doesn't have to worry about it for the time being, presumably Liu Xing will take care of them.
What she has to deal with next is the officials involved in the Huaihe case and how to obtain evidence of their corruption and perversion of the law.
She recruited the secret guards, and asked the dark two in charge of intelligence to be responsible for collecting information about this, and the more detailed the requirements, the better.
Darker was ordered to leave, and before leaving, he presented a booklet.
She opened the pamphlet and found that it contained detailed records of various deeds and rumors about these famous people living in the capital.
There are many anecdotes in it, which makes her a little interested.
Just as she was carefully checking the pamphlet, the chief manager Liu Xing knocked on the door and said softly: "Master, there are a group of officials outside who ask to see them, saying that they are coming by order. ”
Xiao Han was a little surprised, but he didn't expect the speed of these officials to be quite fast. She commanded, "Go, bring them to the antechamber, and I'll go over here." ”
Liu Xing was ordered to leave, she put away the booklet, sorted out her appearance, and took the two maids directly to the front hall.
When Xiao Han arrived in the front hall, these officials were sitting upright, and the subordinates had already served tea and water.
Seeing her come in, these officials saluted one after another: "The lower officials have seen the county lord, and the county lord Wanfu Jin'an." ”
Xiao Han gave a hand: "You adults don't need to be polite, just sit down and talk." ”
After thanking them, all the officials sat back in their original positions, waiting for Xiao Han, who was sitting in a high position, to speak.
Xiao Han picked up the teacup in his hand, took a sip slightly, and then said: "Adults, you may wish to introduce yourself first, such as your name, official position, and what you are good at, so that the county lord can know it in his heart." ”
Several officials looked at each other, sitting next to her right hand, and the middle-aged official with two mustaches got up first and introduced himself: "The official's surname is Zhang, and his reputation is the head of the Criminal Department, and he is good at law. ”
The strong man next to him also got up and introduced: "Xiaguan Liu Biao is the head of the forbidden army, responsible for protecting the safety of the county lord. ”
The official on the left who was at the bottom of the head seemed to be the eldest among them, Mo was about forty years old, his eyes were shining, and he saluted with a smile: "The lower official's surname is Cui, and his name is Guangxi, and he is the supervisor of the imperial history, and he is responsible for supervising the hundred officials. ”
The last one, Xiao Han knew, was Qin Chuan, who had a relationship with him in the household department before, and he was also the youngest official among these people.
He seemed a little shy, bowed his head and said: "Xiaguan's surname is Qin, his name is Chuan, he is the head of the household department, and he is good at calculation. ”
Everyone had been introduced, and she also had a general understanding of these people.
She first asked Cui Guangxi: "Since Cui Yushi is supervising the imperial history, he must understand where to start with the Huaihe case, right?!" ”
Cui Guangxi squinted and smiled: "The county lord asked the lower officials to ask the right person, since the matter originated from the Huai River, it is natural to start from the state town near the Huai River, especially the most severely affected places!" ”
She originally had this plan, and since Cui Guangxi said so, she also pushed the boat down the river and said: "Since Cui Yushi said so, then everyone go back and clean up, and we will set off together tomorrow." As for the matter of the guards, please ask Liu Biao to teach the head. ”
Liu Biao clenched his fists and replied: "Don't worry, the county lord, this matter is on the lower officials!" ”
After these officials left, Liu Xing looked worried: "County Lord, do you really want to wade into this troubled water?!" ”
Xiao Han said lightly: "In this matter, the will of the county lord is not important. The important thing is that the emperor's uncle's patience with these corrupt officials has reached the limit. He needed someone to pull these people out and bring them to him. And that person is me, and whether I want it or not, I can only follow it. ”
It's just that what she doesn't understand is that there are many suitable candidates under the emperor's uncle, why did she take a huge risk and choose her to do this?!
She couldn't figure out what to think, so she simply gave up, and instead thought about what to do next.
According to her memories in her previous life, the place where the Huai River burst was Tongzhou, so Tongzhou was also the most severely affected place, and most of the disaster relief money and grain were also allocated to Tongzhou.
It's just that Tongzhou is not a small place, and if you go directly to the state capital yamen, I'm afraid you won't be able to find anything useful.
She thought of the place where Grandpa was sent to suppress the 'mob' in her previous life, which seemed to belong to Tongzhou, a place called Anning County.
After pondering for a moment, she decided to go to Anning County first.
Tongzhou was the only county in Tongzhou that was hit by a riot, and she suspects that things may not be so simple.
After knowing that Xiao Han was going to go far away, Liu Xing began to get busy, and instructed the people in the house to start preparing various things.
Xiao Han heard the list he had prepared, and he had a headache: "Liu Xing, the county lord is going out to investigate the case, not going on an outing." Things like foxes, stoves, and incense burners, with them are just a drag! ”
Liu Xing said solemnly: "When the county lord travels, naturally you can't let the officials below look down on you, and you naturally have to wear all the things you should bring." ”
Xiao Han directly interrupted Liu Xing's chatter and ordered: "Prepare two court clothes, accessories and a few sets of light clothes for the county lord, and bring more dry food for living." ”
Liu Xing seemed to want to say something, but was directly blocked by Xiao Han: "Don't go yet!" ”
Soon prepared the things she wanted, and after dinner, Xiao Han rested early.
Early the next morning, four officials and a dozen forbidden soldiers in civilian clothes appeared in front of the county lord's mansion.
Just in case, Xiao Han still ordered, except for the person who investigated the news and the person in charge of delivering the message to stay, the rest of the secret guards all followed.
Of course, in order to be afraid of Xiao Qi making trouble, she wrote a letter. and instructed his subordinates to wait for her to leave before sending the letter to the East Palace.
As soon as the sky was bright, two carriages and more than a dozen guards hurriedly left the capital and drove in the direction of Tongzhou.
At the same time, a dark shadow appeared in Emperor Wu'an's bedroom.
Emperor Wu'an, who was changing his clothes, waved away the palace people and said, "Pingle is out of the city?!" ”
The black shadow knelt on one knee and replied respectfully: "If you return to the master, your subordinates have seen the county lord go out of the city with their own eyes. Because there were a lot of secret guards around the county lord, his subordinates were afraid of being discovered, so they had to come back first to report. ”
"Dark Guard, it must have been given by the Duke of Zhenguo, it seems that he loves Pingle a lot. Now that there are the secret guards he has trained, Pingle's safety should be safe. You withdrew all your men and ordered those in Tongzhou to report to me all of Pingle's actions in Tongzhou. I want to see how Pingle is going to solve this problem! ”
"No."
Xiao Han, who had already left Beijing, did not know that his every move was in the hands of the emperor.
At this time, all she was thinking about was how to complete the task assigned to her by the emperor's uncle, stop the people from rioting, and bring the corrupt officials to justice!
