What can I do?

The county kept asking himself in his heart.

How to deal with this matter? Chen Letian and the others have already gone to the Chengdu Governor's Mansion or the Shu Prince's Mansion to file a complaint. The Shu Wangfu sued, once the crime was confirmed, the Shu Wangfu would not protect him. After all, the King of Shu is not familiar with him at all, a small county order bandit, what is such a big courage not to kill and keep it?

If he goes to the Governor's Mansion to complain, then maybe there is still room for things to turn around, after all, the Governor is a classmate with him. If you remember some old feelings, even if you don't cover him, you can give him a lighter sentence and exile for a few years, maybe it's still possible.

It's just that the classmate was a tendon back then, and once at the farewell banquet, he patted his chest and said that in the future, he will be an official and will definitely enforce the law impartially, and will never bend the law for personal gain.

I don't know if there have been any changes over the years.

This night, the county lord tossed and turned and didn't fall asleep all night, and when it was almost dawn, he suddenly figured it out.

Just like some time ago, he suddenly figured out that even if he died, there was nothing to be afraid of now. The sons and daughters were sent out. When rumors of gangsters in the county were surging, he arranged for his son and daughter to go out as soon as possible.

He had already arranged the future, so what was there to be afraid of now, or he was ready to fail, so why worry about it now?

From the beginning, he was destined to be unable to turn back, so if he could arrange the aftermath properly, there would be nothing to be afraid of.

I'm afraid that nothing will be arranged, and the child will be implicated.

The eldest son joined the Northern Army, the younger son was sent out to study, and the daughter was also sent out to live temporarily under other pretexts.

The county lord came to a house next door to the county office. This mansion is the place to meet the killer middleman, and it can be regarded as a separate garden for the county lord. But this is only secretly, on the surface, this mansion belongs to a wealthy merchant in Bazhong City. The reason why it seems that there is a house next to the county government is to follow the principle that the most dangerous place is the safest.

No one would have thought that this house belonged to the county, so they didn't expect that the county lord would be here, so the county lord would arrange some less glorious ones

When things happen, they can be very hidden.

Today, the county lord made an appointment here, and it was the owner of this house, Jiang Huan, a wealthy businessman in Bazhong City. Jiang Huan just turned fifty years old this year, but because he is well maintained, he looks only in his early forties. Because of the perennial martial arts practice, it looks very strong, even in this spring when the thick clothes have not been taken off, you can see the posture of the tiger's back and the bear's waist.

However, in front of the county lord, Jiang Huan was very humble, which was also the posture that a businessman should have in front of the county magistrate.

"Jiang Huan, how long have you been with me?" The county lord sat on the chair and looked up at Jiang Huan.

Jiang Huan stood aside and bowed his head and arched his hand: "It's fifteen or sixteen years." ”

The county said: "I have earned a lot of silver from you over the years, I believe in you, put the silver on you to make money, in the end I still have to thank you." ”

When Jiang Huan heard this, he said with a panicked face: "Why did my lord say this. Thanks to the love of adults and the blessing of adults, my business has been booming over the years, and even Chengdu has opened a shop. After a pause, Jiang Huan gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, don't worry about the silver in my hand, there is no problem, and no one can find out anything." The little one has always been obedient to the orders of the adults, and he does not keep accounts or papers, but it all depends on my brain to remember. As soon as he said this, Jiang Huan broke out in a cold sweat on his back. Recent rumors in the city... He's scared, too.

The county said: "What you did was right, you did what I said, there was no risk." It's just that we've all been negligent a little. ”

Jiang Huan didn't understand.

The county zun continued: "No account books, no pen and paper, after your operation, it is indeed impossible to find out anything." However, although there is no longer any paper material carrying evidence, there is still a lot of living evidence. For example, the people you handle under your hands, although they are all in charge of each person, can still leave traces. Especially... What if you are arrested?" Before the words fell, the county lord's gaze was like lightning shooting towards Jiang Huan.

Jiang Huan was stunned for a moment, and then knelt down with a soft knee: "My lord, the villain will never betray the adult, the adult and the villain."

I don't know each other, I don't have any contact...", and sweaty, banging and kowtowing, as if he was even working on an iron head.

Lord Xianzun seemed to be very satisfied with Jiang Huan's way of doing this, and only when Jiang Huan's head broke did he speak slowly: "Okay, get up." ”

Jiang Huan didn't dare to get up: "The villain is sincere to the adult, if it weren't for the adult, the villain would still be a small vendor at most." Even if the villain dies, he will never say anything!" to express his loyalty, at this time, Jiang Huan only hated that he had read less, and he couldn't say anything more loyal.

"Arise, I have known your faithfulness. The county raised his hand: "I came today, I just wanted to discuss this matter with you, you know, now the rumors outside are very fierce, I must prepare in advance, although the opponent may not be able to find anything, but I also have to prepare." You know what I mean?"

Jiang Huan stood up cautiously and pondered for a moment, as if he was thinking about the words of the county lord, and then whispered: "Otherwise, the villain won't go out these days, just stay here, so that the adults can come and ask at any time." ”

Lord Xianzun smiled, it is obvious that Jiang Huan means that I will be grounded here, you can rest assured. But the county lord shook his head and said, "You are very smart, I knew about it more than ten years ago, so I have been using you." In these extraordinary times, as long as we can get through it smoothly, you will be free in the future and you will no longer have to listen to me. You don't have to stay here, what should you do, I'm just here to ask you about the situation, you tell me about last year. ”

Jiang Huan quietly wiped his sweat and reported to the county lord the income of the silver that the county had put in his hands in the past year. This is a routine report to the county every year, which is similar to how much the county has accumulated principal and interest last year, and how much more than the previous year.

In fact, Jiang Huan can also be regarded as the confidant of the county. The county has ten henchmen in the mall. These ten henchmen are all relatively large merchants, and the amount of silver that can be digested every year is tens of thousands of taels of silver, and there are thousands of taels of small ones. As for the other smaller merchants, they were all arranged by Zhao Biao, and the county lord did not contact them. They didn't know that the biggest proprietor above was the county lord. In this way, the risk to the prefectural lord can be minimized to the greatest extent.
