Zhang Yi was secretly locked up in a private house near the county school, he didn't sleep all night last night, his eyes were red, and his heart was full of despair.

Last night, Lu Yougen interrogated him until midnight, and he denied any other accusations except that he would collect students' hearts during the New Year's holidays.

For what Gao County Ling wanted, he resolutely denied it, and he was now counting on County Cheng Yang Han to save him.

At this moment, the door 'banged!' With a sound, Lu Yougen, the head of the capital, walked in.

He glanced at Zhang Yi with a smile, "Did Professor Zhang sleep well last night?" ”

Zhang Yi snorted and ignored him.

Lu Yougen sat down and said lightly: "Today, the county magistrate Gao came to your county school dormitory, and the scenery behind the bookshelves in your room is good!" ”

Zhang Yi's face changed greatly, his voice changed tone, and he shouted: "You can't just enter my room, I'm not a criminal?" ”

"Then explain what happened to your chest of gold?"

Zhang Yi screamed and pounced, Lu Yougen raised his foot, the foot board pressed against his small chest, and with a gentle push, Zhang Yi stumbled, took a few steps back, and sat on the ground with his ass.

He was anxious and hateful, and he didn't know what to do, so he simply lay on the ground and cried, and kicked his little legs in the air.

"Kill me! I'm not alive anymore! ”

Lu Yougen squatted in front of him and said coldly: "So far, there have been one hundred and fifty letters accusing you, and we have found gold, all the human and material evidence, according to the law of the Great Song Dynasty, your crime must be one hundred rods, exile to Qiongzhou, but Gao County Ling Nian is a scholar, and if you want to give you a chance, it depends on whether you can fight for it." ”

Zhang Yi sat up and shouted, "Give me back the gold, I'll say anything!" ”

"You are so stupid, how can you return that gold to you? I'll tell you the truth, I found three letters under your box, in fact, Gao Xianling no longer needs your confession, but he takes pity on you and gives you a chance. ”

Lu Yougen said coldly: "You are a smart person, as long as the county order and the county Cheng reach a compromise, all the black cauldron will be borne by you, and only by writing a letter of denunciation, the county order will have a reason to punish you lightly." ”

Zhang Yi was completely frightened, he thought that Yang Han thought that he had harmed his nephew, and he would definitely let himself carry the black pot, and he would never spare himself.

He simply let it go, "Okay! I write, I write! ”

Lu Yougen was overjoyed and ordered someone to bring paper and pencils, and Zhang Yi immediately wrote an indictment exposing the county Cheng Yang Han for accepting bribes from him, and signed it.

This indictment is combined with the three letters from Yang Han to form a complete chain of evidence, and it is difficult for Yang Han to turn over.

Lu Yougen looked at the indictment, glanced at Zhang Yi a little strangely, shook his head and said: "You are generous in giving gifts, you only make 8,000 yuan, but you give 10,000 yuan in gifts." ”

"What did you say?" Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment.

"We only found fifty catties of gold in your room, isn't that eight thousand yuan?"

Zhang Yi was stunned like a lightning strike, Lu Yougen ignored him, and hurried to the county government to hand over the errand.

The door slammed shut, and the outside was locked with chains.

Zhang Yi suddenly rushed forward, grabbed the wooden fence on the window and shook it desperately, and shouted in the direction of the county government, "Gao Fei, you are the most greedy and black-hearted person in the world." ”

．．．．．．．．．

The county ordered Gao Fei to meddle in the affairs of the county school, and the county Cheng Yang Han only got the news yesterday afternoon.

At that time, Zhang Yi had already been transferred and secretly imprisoned.

Yang Han couldn't care about his nephew at this time, and Gao Fei's sneak attack caught him off guard, on the one hand, he looked around for Zhang Yi's whereabouts, and on the other hand, he sent someone to inform Zhang Yi's brother.

Zhang Yi's brother is a teacher of Fuxue, Yang Han hopes to use his hand to put pressure on Gao Fei and release Zhang Yi, but from yesterday to now, Zhang Yi's brother has always remained silent.

Yang Han went to visit the county lieutenant Ma last night, but the wife of the county lieutenant told him that the county lieutenant had gone to Taihu Lake on business and could not come back for the past two days, so he obviously deliberately avoided it.

Yang Han almost didn't sleep last night, he was so anxious by this incident, he couldn't figure it out, Gao Fei, who had been doing nothing, suddenly became powerful?

Of course, Yang Han would not think that this was the effect of Fan Ning and other three young county students coming to see the trial.

They may be prodigies, a little smarter, a little precocious, and a little more knowledgeable than their peers.

But if a county order even needs a few stinky children to guide the power struggle, Yang Han will not believe it if he kills him.

Yang Han felt that it should be his nephew's accident, so that Gao Fei, who had been holding back, seized the opportunity, just like Gao Fei himself said, he had actually received a complaint letter from his parents a long time ago.

Come to think of it, there is only this reason.

Goofy crouched beside him like a poisonous snake, pretending to do nothing to paralyze himself, but he waited for the opportunity to move, and when the opportunity came, he pierced the heart with a sword.

Yang Han sighed that Gao Fei was powerful, much more powerful than the previous county commander Li Yun, Li Yun was just relying on his backstage to be strong, and this Gao Fei was an old treacherous and cunning who was good at disguise.

At this time, Yang Han was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, walking around the official room with his hands in his hands.

"Have you searched for it?"

Yang Han yelled at several of his subordinates: "Could it be that he will fly into the sky?" ”

A few hands were embarrassed, "Qiqi County, Wu County is too big, we only have a few people, and we can't find it at all." ”

Yang Han can use very few subordinates, Gao Fei pulled Lu Yougen over, most of the officials were controlled by Gao Fei, there were only three or four officials left in the county government, and the other officials were sent out by Lu Yougen for various reasons.

Yang Han sighed, he knew that he shouldn't be afraid of offending County Lieutenant Ma, and how good it would be to win Lu Yougen into his henchman first.

At this moment, a heavy cough came from outside, and then the voice of the county commander Gao Fei came, "Is Yang Xiancheng free?" ”

Yang Han was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "Why is the Gao County Order here?" ”

Gao Fei smiled, "I just happened to be idle, come and talk to the county!" ”

Of course, Yang Han knew that Gao Fei was not good, where was there nothing to do, and it was clearly a showdown with himself.

Yang Han suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, it was likely that Gao Fei already had evidence against him in his hands.

At this time, he had no choice, so he had to laugh dryly, "The county gentleman rarely comes to my side, rare guest!" This way, please! ”

Yang Han invited Gao Fei to sit down in the reception hall, and ordered someone to serve tea.

"How's the nephew doing?" Goofy asked with concern.

"Thank you for the county's concern, I am asking a famous doctor for treatment, I heard that there is a doctor surnamed Fan in Mudu Town who is very famous for treating injuries and bones, and I have sent someone to invite it."

"Does the murderer have any eyebrows?" Goofy asked again.

Yang Han shook his head and said with a wry smile: "But seeing that Pingjiang Mansion only focused on Wu County for investigation, but did not investigate Changzhou County at all, I knew that their investigation was just a formality, and sooner or later it would have to be handed over to us, but I have vaguely guessed who did it." ”

"Who is it?" Gao Fei hurriedly asked.

"It's a person that the county jun would never have imagined, and that is my nephew's mentor Zhang Yi."

Goofy was taken aback, "How could it be him?" ”

Yang Han said coldly: "This person is despicable and vicious, unscrupulous for the sake of his superiors, he wants to be a teacher, so he injured my nephew and blamed Zhao Xiuwen." ”

"Does the county have any evidence?"

Yang Han shook his head, "If there was evidence, I wouldn't have let him go a long time ago." ”

Gao Fei didn't think so, Yang Han was deliberately distancing himself from Zhang Yi!

Thinking that saying a few bad things about Zhang Yi would make his subordinates merciful, it was too naïve.

Gao Fei took a sip of tea, and then said slowly: "In the past two days, I have investigated some students' parents in the county school to complain about Zhang Yifeng selling county school places.

The results of the investigation can be described as shocking, Gufeng Academy has become a place of dirty transactions, eighty or ninety students who can't even memorize the "Analects" and "Mencius", and they are grandly messing around in the county school, giving Zhang Yi fifteen yuan every year, and becoming his protégés.

There are also many audit students, in order to get a place in the county school, they bribed Zhang Yi for tens to hundreds, which has become an open fact.

For so many years, he has unscrupulously collected money and sold his school, seriously undermining the order of the county school, but he has never been investigated and punished, which is heartbreaking and incomprehensible. ”

Yang Han's face couldn't hold back, "The lower official is responsible for this matter, the lower official was deceived by his illusion, which caused the county school to lose order, and the lower official will definitely reflect on this matter." ”

Gao Fei took out Zhang Yi's confession and handed it to Yang Han, "Yang Xiancheng might as well take a look." ”

Yang Han took it and hurriedly looked at it, his face suddenly swelled into the color of pig liver, and he slapped the confession on the table heavily.

"That's nonsense, when did I take his money? He just promised to help my nephew go to school, that's all, the county magistrate won't really believe this mad dog that bites people! ”

Gao Fei glanced at Yang Han with a smile, and said lightly: "When I searched Zhang Yi's room, I found three letters, which were actually written to him by the county Cheng, and the content of the letters was simply unbelievable.

However, I suspect that Zhang Yi forged the letter, pretending to be the handwriting of the county Cheng, I wonder if the county Cheng has any impression, two were written five years ago, and one was written last year? ”

Yang Han suddenly poured down like a basin of ice water, his whole body was bitterly cold, and he remembered that he had written a few letters to Zhang Yi when he was on a business trip in the field, asking him to give him at least half of the money from selling the quota.

And last year's letter was to introduce five students to Zhang Yi, asking him to arrange for him to enter the county school, although this letter does not involve money, but as long as you check, your old background will be exposed, these five students, he received 500 yuan in benefits.

Yang Han was flustered and confused in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "It must be fake, I haven't written such a letter." ”

Gao Fei pretended to be relieved, if this is the case, it would be great, I can rest assured to report to the imperial court, and ask the imperial historian to come down and investigate.

Yang Han was stunned.

After a while, he let out a long sigh in his heart, and it seemed that he would not be able to pay the price.

"Actually, I very much support Gao County Ling to come to Wu County to preside over government affairs, originally the county government has some important positions that need to be adjusted, but Gao County Ling has been very busy, it is better to take advantage of this time today, let's have a good communication."

Now that Yang Han has given in, Gao Fei is no longer polite.

He smiled, "The specific government affairs are originally the affairs of the county, how can I meddle casually, so be it!" I'll recommend a charge in charge of the house later, and I'll just ask about the rest. ”

Yang Han was stunned, Gao Fei actually wanted to be in charge of the charge of the household registration house?

Generally, the county government has three secretaries, who hold real power and are the highest-ranking clerks in the county government, equivalent to assistants to the county magistrate.

One of the three attorneys is in charge of civil prosecution cases, and is an assistant to the prefectural magistrate.

One person is in charge of the tax register, which is the assistant of the county and is responsible for supervising the taxation.

Since the land rent and taxes are directly handed over to the various transit envoys, the county is not allowed to act rashly, and no matter how much tax is levied, it has nothing to do with the county, and then the imperial court will allocate the operating funds and personnel to the counties according to the budget.

The monopoly income of all kinds of wine, tea, salt, sugar, spices, etc., has nothing to do with the county, and is collected by the special institutions set up by the imperial court in various places.

The third charger, on the other hand, becomes extremely important and has an important practical interest, and he is responsible for managing the household registration house and other chores.

It is important to know that every county has a large number of official fields and public houses, and the rent obtained from the rental of this piece of land and housing is the largest additional income of each county, and the bonuses and benefits of officials, as well as the salaries of a large number of non-staff personnel, depend on it.

It can also be regarded as the acquiescence of the imperial court to supplement the office expenses of the local government.

It is the small treasury of the county government of Wu County.

Gao Fei named for this position, in fact, he took the financial power of the county government into his own hands, plus he already mastered the 'military power' controlled by the capital.

In this way, Gao Fei controlled the two most important real powers of the county government in his own hands.

Gao Fei saw that Yang Han didn't answer for a long time, so he said lightly: "If the county Cheng feels embarrassed, forget it." ”

Where does Yang Han still have a choice, he pinches the handle in Gao Fei's hands!

Helpless, he had to nod, "Okay! Xiaguan waited for the candidate recommended by the high county order. ”

Yang Han finally compromised, and Gao Fei picked up Zhang Yi's confession from the table and tore it off.

He smiled slightly: "I believe that I will definitely have a happy cooperation with Yang Xiancheng!" ”
