The county government of Yandao County is in the west of the county seat. This county government, like most of the county offices in the country, sits in the north and faces south, taking the meaning of righteousness and light. On the central axis, there are the main building gate, lobby, second hall, and third hall, and there are courtyards and account rooms on both sides. According to the official system of the Great Jin Dynasty, a county, there is a county, there is a master, and then what is the history of the record, the history of the main room, the history of the book, the wandering, the sheng, the history of Gong Cao, the small history, the court Peng, the history of the Hu Cao Peng, the history of the law Cao Peng, the history of the Jincang thief, the history of the soldier Cao, the history of the official Cao, the history of the prison and so on. In a county with 300 or more households, there are 28 officials and 6 casual officials, 40 or more officials of 500 or more and 8 casual officials, 53 officials and 12 casual officials of 1,000 households or more, 68 officials and 18 scattered officials of 1,500 households or more, 88 officials and 26 casual officials of more than 3,000 households.

And so many households and officials are on both sides of the road in front of the county government hall. On the east side are the records, the main records, the men, the wanderers, etc., and the west side is the household Cao, the law Cao, the soldier Cao, the official Cao, etc. The east side of the lobby is the county office, and the west side is the main office. The current number of households in Yandao County is more than 2,300 households, and these more than 60 in-service officials stay in the buildings on both sides of the lobby on weekdays.

Gao Ming came to the county government in a hurry, and these people naturally knew the only marquis in Yandao County, and no one stopped him. According to the regulations of the Great Jin Dynasty, anyone below the county magistrate who saw the marquis had to avoid saluting.

After he came in, he went directly to the room where Hu Cao Peng was, and in the stunned eyes of everyone, he slapped the table of Hu Cao Peng and Cao Jian and said loudly: "Why do I actually seal 400 households, but the number of households is only more than 350?"

Hu Cao Peng Cao Jian's heart suddenly suddenly, but his face did not show timidity and said calmly: "It's been so long, why didn't the prince confirm it when he first came?"

I'll go!" Gao Ming was even more furious when he heard this, he was very familiar with this method of beating a rake. Seeing that he didn't say much, his right hand stretched out like lightning, grabbed Cao Jian's chest, and lifted Cao Jian out from behind the table with a force.

Cao Jian is also a nine-rank monk, Gao Ming's movements are too fast, the power is too great, he grabbed the opponent's wrist with both hands and tried to break the opponent's opponent, but this action is useless. Gao Ming's arm was like an iron pillar, and he couldn't move it even with all his might.

Immediately after, he saw Gao Ming's left hand lightning towards his face, and in the exclamation of everyone, there was a crisp sound of "snap", first he felt a hot pain coming from his face, and then he didn't feel it. The entire half of his face was swollen and numb.

Immediately after, he felt an irresistible push in his chest, his body was light, and the whole person flew backwards, and before he could react to what was going on, the person fell heavily on the road outside.

Gao Ming flew up to him and stretched out his foot to kick him. Cao Jian reacted quickly at this time, and he shouted loudly at the fastest speed in his life: "The prince spares his life! ”

Looking at the feet that stopped at the tip of his nose and feeling the strong wind, Cao Jian instantly broke out in a cold sweat. Then he quickly rolled over, hugged Gao Ming's calf tightly, and repeated incoherently with tears in his eyes: "The prince spares his life! ”

"Say, what's going on?" Gao Ming asked sharply, not caring that he was in the county office, and the county officials on the east and west sides stretched their necks to look at him secretly from the house.

"It's a long story," Cao Jian cried with a sad face, and said in his heart that he would deal with this terrible Hades first. I didn't dare to hide it at the moment, and I kept babbling.

It turns out that since the third county magistrate of the Great Jin Dynasty, the actual number of households and the number of households on the roster do not match, not an increase, but a decrease. But for the county magistrate, the number of households is the key data of the state and county assessment, and it is unreasonable to say that the number of households has decreased during his tenure. Therefore, since then, there has been fraud in this number.

Gao Ming sneered in his heart when he heard him say this. If he hadn't listened to what Du Chou told him, he would have really understood the other party. Since the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty, Yizhou has been smooth and weather-free.

Fewer households?

This Nima must have been incorporated into the big family.

These situations, such as Cao Jian, can Cao Peng be unclear?

Can the county magistrate not know?

It's nothing more than a transfer of benefits. After eating, the data was faked, and the pot was given to the next one.

Therefore, although he also sympathized with Hu Cao Peng and Cao Jian, who were crying at his feet and still had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. Whoever is unlucky in this matter, this matter must be investigated, it is not a matter of one person or two people, it is estimated that many large households in the county are implicated.

How big of a mistake is that?

It's not that big. I'm really not afraid to check. It's a big deal to say that the family is dead, that family is running away and so on and so forth. In a disaster year, or in turmoil such as the Yongqin and Qin states, all the previous false data can be erased.

However, he understands and understands, and he knows in his heart that he must not back down.

Why should I bear the burden of your small number of households?

This military service is nothing else, and you can't help yourself with your life on the battlefield.

"Hmph, Lao Tzu has just arrived, and the people of the fiefdom still don't know what to do. If you put more than 40 heads, you will not be scolded by the people in the fief in the future, and you will be scolded by the people outside the fiefdom, and I am afraid that the three words of the big fool will be engraved on the brain. ”

"What, so the way you came up with it was to secretly make my household count inflated? This is the way you came up with it? Do I have the word "bullying" engraved on my face?"

"Prince, the villain knows that he is wrong. Cao Jian repeatedly said forgiveness, but in his heart he said angrily: "Nima, this is about Lao Tzu's." Lao Tzu is doing what he is told. But I don't want this surname Gao to be so domineering. If you are good at discussing, what is the point of the head? But I don't know what kind of mind this Hou Ye has, not to make trouble with such a big thing. ”

Gao Ming didn't know what Cao Jian thought in his heart, and he couldn't have imagined that in Cao Jian's heart, and even in the hearts of countless people, the little head of military service was really nothing. Not to mention that there are dozens of differences, there are hundreds of differences, and as long as the work is done properly, the county and state are not in charge of the affairs of turning a blind eye. No big man would come and count the heads in person.

"I don't care who's right and who's wrong. Gao Ming deliberately raised his voice so that everyone in the county government could hear: "People, I won't have one more." How the problem is solved, that's your business, it's none of mine. This lawsuit is to fight the county guard to the assassin Shi, and I am not afraid. ”

After he said this, he threw off his sleeve robe and left, leaving only everyone in the county office to look at each other.

This dignified Pavilion Marquis, tsk, is really strong, but his brains are not enough.

With this little, who above will be more serious?

As for the following, no one cares if there are a few more or less. This Cao Jian must have gone out today and didn't look at the yellow calendar, and he was unlucky.
