Zhu Linxi went out of the Linbei Mansion. Riding a big horse for transfer, I hurried to the suburbs.

There are already more than 200 killers gathering, and they are preparing to attack at Linbei Mansion at night. Their purpose is not only to get rid of Zhu Linxi, but even to kill his little fiancée as much as possible to prevent future troubles.

Zhu Linxi planned to catch these people off guard when they were not ready, and catch them all.

And it has to be done quickly. You must know that behind these people, there are two waves of killers who are rushing in the direction of Lin Beifu.

Zhu Linxi planned to kill all those people together.

He took dozens of people with him on the surface this time, but in fact, he secretly brought a full five hundred secret guards. to draw the serpent out of the hole and to lead those into the bait.

He wanted to see how many hole cards his princess Erniang and two brothers still had in their hands?

Before Wang Jibao married into Shaoguo, he wanted to eliminate as many people as possible who might endanger them.

When he arrived in the suburbs, the scroll stepped forward to inform him of the other party's personnel distribution.

Zhu Linxi asked someone to bring a pen and paper and drew the distribution of the other party's personnel. At the same time, arrange most of his men to concentrate on attacking one place, and then immediately move to attack another. A small number of people act as a pick-up, just in case.

What he mainly adopted was the so-called "superior force" combat policy.

That is, somewhere, Zhu Linxi will use 300 people to deal with 50 or 60 people on the other side. Then the three hundred men went to another place to deal with the fifty or sixty people gathered in another place.

He wants to keep his manpower in absolute advantage at all times to achieve the goal of beating his opponents in groups.

If only 500 dark guards were used against the opponent's 200 people, his side would definitely achieve the final victory. But then there is a high probability that there will be casualties on your side.

These were all brothers who were born and died with him, and he didn't want them to lose their lives in vain. And it's not easy to train another batch of Dark Guards.

If this combat policy is adopted, it is completely possible to minimize the losses of your side. And it will also give the opponent a mental shock, and can even let his side win without a fight.

After formulating the battle plan, the book was ordered to go down and deploy.

After a short time, the scroll returned and nodded to Zhu Linxi.

Zhu Linxi raised his hand high and waved it down.

His men and horses immediately rushed to the opponent's first attack point.

Before the other party could react, the heads had already been harvested by Zhu Linxi's men. This kind of feeling of beating up the opponent in a group is not only very refreshing for the people involved, but also for the people watching from the sidelines.

Zhu Linxi completely fought all the way back to Shaoguo. Wang Jibao: In fact, the turmoil on their side has never been interrupted.

After Zhu Linxi left, Wang Jibao and Wang Yuxun had a secret talk.

"Third brother, is there a problem with Mo County that you checked?" Wang Jibao asked.

"I did some false accounts, but it wasn't a big problem."

Wang Yuxun's magistrate of Mo County was one of the two people who didn't talk much. Another one who didn't say much was the county magistrate of Jiangbei County, where the affected Linjiang Village belonged.

"How are your two counties doing?" Wang Yuxun asked Wang Jibaodao.

Wang Jibao thought for a while and replied: "The magistrate of Tongji County is a real corrupt official. Both the county treasury and the granary are empty. Being able to do this is also related to the father of his concubine, that is, the master of their county surname Fang. I don't think there's anything suspicious about this person other than greed. ”

Wang Jibao suddenly thought that he had brought that Master Fang back to the mansion prison and had not yet dealt with it. So he continued: "By the way, third brother, I arrested the master surnamed Fang on the charge of obstructing the yamen's errand. After that, you can also take a good look at what else Fan Dayong, the magistrate of Tongji County, has done from his mouth. ”

"Hmm. I will sort out their affairs later, and report them to the emperor together. ”

Wang Jibao went on to say the problems she found during her trip to Linyang: "On the contrary, whether it is the county government treasury or the granary in Linyang County, it is exactly the same as recorded in the account book. It can be described as 'perfect'. Don't you think that the more perfect it is, the more worthy of our doubts? ”

Wang Yuxun nodded and motioned for Wang Jibao to continue analyzing.

Encouraging, Wang Jibao continued: "Especially the year before last, the entire Fengbei County was hit by a snowstorm. Other counties have written to the local prefects and yamen, hoping that the imperial court will reduce taxes for that year and in the following years. On the contrary, only their county did not report it. And the strangest thing is that I went through the account books of their county that year, and actually collected all the taxes of their county that year. Is it true that their county is not the only one that has not been affected? ”

Wang Yuxun thought for a while and replied, "After I came, I looked through the notes of the government. Among them, the snow disaster of the previous year was recorded, and it is true that only one county in Linyang County was not affected. ”

"Is it true that there has not been a disaster?" Wang Jibao always felt that there was something strange about this, but she couldn't say it.

Bongbuk County is mountainous, and as long as you catch up with the years when there is a lot of snow, the people who live in the mountains are vulnerable to disasters. It's like Linjiang Village a few days ago.

"Probably not. The year before was clearly recorded in his books, and the taxes of that year were the same as in previous years. Wang Yuxun also felt a little weird.

How can it be that only one county, Linyang County, has not been affected by the disaster? This is really incredible.

Forget it, let's listen to my sister's doubts.

"So what do you think is wrong with anything else?"

Also, why has he been working in Linyang County for more than 20 years? He said that he was reluctant to move because he had been in one place for a long time. If I remember correctly, Xu Boyang is a native of Dongyang in the south. You say, how can there be a person who stays in a foreign country for so long, and does not want to be promoted, but also does not want to return to his hometown? ”

The ancients had a stronger desire than modern people to return to their roots. And from ancient times to the present, I have never heard of anyone who has the opportunity to rise to the top and give up on their own initiative? And the most important point is that from the praise of the local people, he called him Xu Qingtian, and said that he had never collected any harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

Judging from the scale of the backyard of the county government in Linjiang County, he should be regarded as a clean official, otherwise he is a rather low-key person.

Since this man is not greedy for ink, nor does he have fish and flesh, it means that he has not gained much benefit from this position at all.

Since there is no benefit, no benefit, and no very necessary reason, then he must have hidden some unknown secret in doing so.

"Hearing you say this, I also think that he really has a lot of suspicions. Especially why did this person stay in Linyang County for so long? Unless there is something in Linyang County that can attract him. Wang Yuxun said while thinking.

Wang Jibao interjected: "It shouldn't be a person, it's a thing?" ”

Wang Yuxun nodded and said, "That's right, it's these two." When it comes to people, his wife and children are all around, and it shouldn't be them. And I haven't heard of any confidantes in him who need to be taken care of locally and can't leave. Besides, he was an orphan and had no elders. These can be denied. So what other possibility do you think it's because of someone who has stayed here for so long? ”

Wang Jibao was also constantly pondering, but it really made her think of a possibility.

"Third brother, do you think he is repaying someone's kindness? For example, the grace of saving lives, the grace of knowing and so on. It is estimated that the favor is too small to be likely. ”

Wang Yuxun touched his crisp and neat chin and said, "What you said is indeed very possible. However, if you want to find out this, you have to check it before he came to Fengbei County or when he first took office. It's been more than 20 years, and it won't take a while to find out. Let's put down the clues of the person first, and then see if there is something that is the reason why he stays here? Could that have something to do with what we came to investigate? ”

"Things? Unless it's a mountain of gold and silver. Wang Xibao said casually as if joking.

Hearing Wang Jibao say this, Wang Yuxun actually opened his brain.

Said seriously: "Jin Shan? Silver Mountain? There are many mountains here, and there may be mountains of gold and silver. Think about it, what else did you hear about when you went to Linyang County? ”

Wang Jibao was stunned at first, "Huh? Then he smiled and said, "I just said it casually." You're serious! ”

Wang Yuxun's expression was quite serious, not like he was joking with Wang Jibao.

He said seriously: "Don't you think this has a lot to do with the loss of the disaster victims, the displaced people, and the group of exiled prisoners? Do you think about it, why are there so many young and strong young men who have died and disappeared for no reason all these years? And the old and infirm, as well as the women and children, survived even more. Especially the exiles, they originally came here to fill the army, but in recent years, there have been very few such people in the army. Don't you think it's weird? ”

Wang Yuxun paused and continued: "Also, before we came here, didn't the emperor receive a secret letter saying that there was a problem in Linbei Mansion, and it might also endanger the big problem of Jiangshan Sheji. That's why the emperor let us and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come here? ”

The reason why Emperor Yongsheng sent Wang Yuxun to Linbei Mansion was because the original Linbei Governor was dismissed for corruption and bribery and needed a new prefect, because he received that secret letter.

Wang Yuxun happened to be unemployed at home, and was brought over by Emperor Yongsheng.

The reason why Wang Jibao also came with him, in addition to Wang Jibao taking the initiative to come here to help Wang Yuxun take care of the inner house, there is also a main reason that Wang Jibao's status is noble, and he can shock a group of people here.

Later, they asked them to take Xia Lixuan into the army, in addition to protecting Xia Lixuan, one of the main reasons is that the major events related to the society mentioned in the secret letter are likely to be related to the army.

And the person most likely to be involved is the head of the Pingbei Army, that is, Chen Guangyi, the general of Pingbei.
