Fusu also knew that he couldn't ask anything tonight.

Although he has a noble status, he doesn't know the specific situation of Yunyang.

As long as there is no definite evidence, he can't rashly say that this county order is lying.

Fusu withdrew his eyes from his body and chuckled:

"Well, let's rest tonight, and I'll talk about it tomorrow."

Seeing that he finally stopped asking, Jing Kaizhong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said again and again:

"Yes, yes, the lower officials have already arranged it, Gongzi and Lord Taicang Ling, please come with me."

It's night, the county hall.

After spending two days in a row, Fusu also felt tired.

But there is still important work to be done.

He called Han Min and asked:

"Yunyang County Cheng and the county lieutenant, can you find out?"

In ordinary county seats, there is only one magistrate in the county order, and the rest of the lords are all assistants and are in charge of local ownership.

But in a large county like Yunyang, there are three people.

County order, county officer, county lieutenant.

The county commander is in charge of the subordinate townships, the county governor is responsible for assisting in political affairs, and the county lieutenant is responsible for public security in the county and arresting thieves.

Fusu thought that when he arrived, the three main officials of a county would come to greet him.

Who knew that until the end of the meal, there were no two figures.

Inevitably startled, he didn't directly ask the county order.

only privately arranged for Han Min to investigate:

The first is to explore the identities and characteristics of these two people.

The second is that the nobles came, and the two did not know where they went.

"Back to Gongzi, it is said that the county Cheng went to the subordinate township to do business and did not return."

"County Lieutenant Chu Yan, I have never lived in the county government, and I have returned to my residence early after finishing today."

"The strange thing is that the county commander knew that the prince was coming, but he didn't tell Chu Yan."

Fu Su curled his fingers and lightly clasped the table, "It seems that this Chu Yan and Jing Kaizhong are not of the same mind." ”

"Childe guessed right, that Chu Yan has a fiery temperament, and he is upright, and he will not turn around."

The official said that Chu Yan had collided with the county order many times, and the two were very incompatible, and they were cold-faced when they met on weekdays.

There is such an inside story in this, Fu Su's eyes flashed slightly, and he said softly:

"In this way, it is in our favor."

"What does Childe mean?"

Fusu raised his eyes and commanded in a deep voice:

"You arrange for two close attendants to go to the county lieutenant's residence to watch, and invite someone to me tomorrow morning before he goes to see Jing Kaizhong."

The two were deliberating.

"Buckle up."

It was interrupted by a few knocks.

Gan Ji stepped forward.

"Childe, the granary in the county is not as good as the county order said, but the number is very small, which is inconsistent with Yunyang's harvest in previous years."

"As for the locust plague, there is, but it is not as serious as the county order said, and it was controlled after only a few acres of land were damaged."

The locust plague was indeed a lie and a lie.

Since the locust plague was not so serious that Yunyang County almost did not harvest last year.

Then these tens of thousands of stone grain are not in the granary, where did they go?

Did he hide it in order to hide it?

Since this Jing Kai has a heart to hide, it will definitely not be easy for people to find.

Fusu didn't plan to waste effort on this.

If you want food, you still have to pry open Jing Kaizhong's mouth.

He is a mercenary person, and holding the handle will naturally make him obediently obey orders.

This strange county lieutenant may be the breakthrough.

In the early morning of the second day, Chu Yan was taken away by his attendants as soon as he went out.

Confused, he was brought to Fusu.

When his subordinates reported that it was Gongzi Fusu in front of him, Chu Yan was surprised, and then happily made a big salute.

"I've always heard of the son's name, and I see it today."

"Xiaguan, Xiaguan is overjoyed, and if you are rude, please ask Gongzi Haihan."

Seeing that his respectful meaning did not seem to be a lie, Fusu was not overly flattering like Jing Kaizhong, but made people feel disgusted.

He picked up Chu Yan and asked tentatively:

"I didn't see the county lieutenant last night, and I was rashly invited this morning, and I should be the one who was rude."

Chu Yan was surprised, "Childe arrived yesterday?" ”

Fusu was also puzzled:

"Yesterday, the county commander was hospitable, but Lord Chu didn't know?"

Chu Yan thought he was blaming, and the eldest son of the first emperor came in person.

As one of the county officials, he actually left early and did not greet him.

Immediately knelt on the ground in panic: "Xia Guan really doesn't know." ”

Then there is a difficult color on the face,

"Don't hide it from the son, Xiaguan and Lord Jing have always been at odds, I think he won't tell me if he knows."

"This is why, the county order and the county lieutenant should complement each other and jointly govern a county Qingping."

"It's not good for you two to be like this."

"What Gongzi taught me is that it's just that Jing Kaizhong is this person, and he is really not worthy of being the head of this county."

When Chu Yan said this, his eyes were disgusted and resentful, and he seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with this county commander.

When Fusu saw his appearance, he said in his heart that there was really something inside.

He winked at Han Min.

Han Min immediately took his attendants out, closed the door and stood guard at the door.

Fusu leaned over to help Chu Yan up, and said warmly:

"Lord Chu doesn't have to be like this, Fusu has never cared about these false courtesies."

"But Lord Fang Cai is so indignant, why is it?"

Chu Yan has admired Fusu Gongzi for a long time, and when he saw someone here, he didn't hesitate, and talked endlessly.

He said:

"Childe doesn't know, that Jing Kaizhong was able to make this county order in Yunyang County because of the shadow of his ancestors."

"But after he took office, he didn't want to make progress, he only knew how to have fun and enjoyed all day long, and he didn't care about the people's livelihood at all."

"That's it, a month ago, I noticed that there was something wrong with the granary, and Yunyang County is a rich grain producing area."

"But every time the grain tax collected from the people is not long after it is put into storage, there is not much left."

"At first, Jing Kai re-tweeted that it was used to dig ditches and repair official roads, but it was not the case."

Speaking of this, Chu Yan's eyes were already red, and he was extremely angry at Jing Kaizhong's actions.

Fusu saw it in his eyes, and said in his heart that this person's joy and anger were in words.

is too upright and flamboyant, no wonder it is incompatible with Jing Kai.

He slowly poured the tea and handed it to Chu Yan, motioning for him to speak slowly.

Only then did Chu Yan realize that he had been rude in front of Fusu again, and he looked at him with a look of restraint, and then said bitterly:

"Xia Guan never thought that the silver money that disappeared in the past was all filled by Jing Kai and moved to his own use."

"And the grain in the granary was also resold privately by him to make a profit!"

As soon as these words came out, Mo said that Fusu was surprised, and even Han Min outside the door frowned.

At first, this was a common occurrence among remote magistrates.

But as the laws of Great Qin became stricter and stricter, the wind of greed and greed converged a little.

It's just that I never thought that on the edge of the capital, at the feet of the first emperor, there are still officials who dare to do this kind of embezzlement of money and taxes and reselling grain.

Fusu sank his gaze, and the deep meaning in his eyes grew stronger.

When he came out this time, his secondary responsibility was to inspect the local officials and take the opportunity to eradicate the Great Qin moth.

Unexpectedly, this start is a heinous leech

Jing Kaizhong has been here for so many years, and he doesn't know how much blood he has squeezed out of the people, and how much grain and taxes he has sucked up in Yunyang.
