At this time, I heard Cui Yuanting say: "Not only the officials, but also the servants in the yamen have also been replaced. Master Li can go down to draw up a plan first, and then we will discuss the specific details. ”

The servants are not the same as the officials. Theoretically, the officers were filled by the common people who served in the upper ranks.

The Great Xuan Dynasty stipulated that, in addition to the bureaucrats and aristocrats, each Cheng Ding was required to serve 20 days of conscription every year, and went to places where the state needed them to serve, such as going to the yamen in the prefecture and county, repairing the salt pond equipment, cultivating the official fields, building water conservancy, repairing the city, porters, guarding the bridge, etc., and also included military service.

Of course, some people don't want to serve, so they have to replace them with silk or cloth, which is called "losing and serving on behalf of others".

But when the county government is not as good as other places, there are many benefits in this, so some idle people collude with the county officials to occupy a certain position for a long time, and use various means to get benefits from the people, which is also a ringworm disease in the township.

It seems that the county order is going to purge the yamen from top to bottom!

Li Ye had a burst of anticipation in his heart, and he saluted Cui Yuanting respectfully: "Obey!" ”

At this moment, in the study hall of the second courtyard, Captain Pi was walking around irritably, and on the high chair behind him, Jiang Xiancheng closed his eyes and said nothing.

Captain Pi couldn't bear it anymore, so he pounced on Jiang Xiancheng's side: "Old Jiang, you have something to say!" Those people were all arrested by Cui Yuanting! ”

Jiang Xiancheng lifted his eyelids: "What are they doing with us when they are arrested?" ”

Captain Pi was choked and said hurriedly: "Why don't you do our business?" That's not our ......."

Jiang Xiancheng leaned at him: "Why don't you make a louder noise?" You open the door and go out and shout! ”

Captain Pi opened his mouth helplessly, said "hey", and paced again.

Jiang Xiancheng was irritated: "Can you sit down?" You're so busy giving me a headache! ”

Lieutenant Pi sighed heavily, and sat down in the chair next to him: "Why is this Cui Yuanting so annoying!" originally thought he was a bare pole, when did he gather a group of people? If it weren't for these people, the fire would have been put on a long time ago today, and he, Cui Yuanting, would have been waiting to lose his official position and go to prison! ”

Jiang Xiancheng closed his eyelids again and said gloomily: "What's the use of saying this now?" Hmph, he will win people over, Li Ye's waste doesn't dare to fart under my hands, I didn't expect to give up yet, he thought that he would have a bright future if he took refuge in Cui Yuanting? Humph......"

Captain Pi smacked his mouth and said, "Li Ye's waste can wait and talk about it, those who were arrested ......"

Jiang Xiancheng raised his eyelids, looked at the nearby Pi County Lieutenant fixedly, and said in his heart: Li Ye is a waste, you are more wasteful than him.

But after all, he was the captain of a county, so he couldn't say it too badly, so he said: "Those people have been in the business for a long time, so they naturally know what to do after they go in, and there are also the guards and those prison guards, what is there to worry about." ”

After such a little bit, Captain Pi also understood.

The county jail has its own set of operating rules, and under the management of the warden Feng Juwan, it can be said that it is dark.

Although the prison should theoretically be in charge of the three items of "soldiers, law, and soldiers", Feng Juwan listened to Jiang Xiancheng's greetings the most.

The people who Jiang Xiancheng had beckoned to enter the county prison, if he wanted to live, he would live, and if he died, he would naturally not be able to live.

County Lieutenant Pi suddenly thought of something: "As soon as Cui Yuanting came, Li Ye immediately threw himself over, and the county lieutenant Gao ...... there."

Jiang Tongfan turned his face to him, and was just about to speak, when there was a knock outside the door.

"Who?" Jiang Xiancheng asked.

"It's me, Gao Kun."

Jiang Xiancheng and Pi County Lieutenant glanced at each other, and Pi County Lieutenant got up to open the door.

"Oh, old man! Come on in. "Captain Pi greeted him cordially.

Gao Kun nodded, came in and said to the county officer: "County Cheng, is it convenient to say a few words?" ”

Jiang Xiancheng sat up straight from the chair and patted the chair next to him: "What's the matter?" Sit down and say. ”

Captain Gao glanced at Captain Pi consciously or unconsciously, who was staring at himself with his eyes straight and his neck straight, looking at him like a goose.

Jiang Xiancheng smiled and said to Pi County Lieutenant: "Old Pi, close the door." ”

Lieutenant Pi closed the door from the inside "obediently", and then walked to Jiang and Gao with his eyes open, but found that the high chair he was sitting on was occupied by the high county lieutenant, so he had to touch his nose and sit on a low drum pier next to him.

Jiang Xiancheng and Gao Xianwei glanced at him with complicated expressions, and the latter was unconscious, stretching his neck and waiting for the next step.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiancheng had no choice but to smile and said: "Captain Pi is not an outsider, you can say it." ”

Lieutenant Gao nodded: "The big case by the White River ......"

He deliberately lowered his voice and agreed to pay attention to the expressions of the two people around him, only to see Bai He's words mentioned, Jiang and Pi's attention immediately increased.

Lieutenant Gao: "I checked for a few days, I had no clue, and to be honest, it was very stressful. ”

This kind of big case, against the county order, and so many people died, in fact, not only the county, Cui Yuanting has also reported to the imperial court, and the state office will definitely send someone to inquire into this matter in the near future.

But at present, the pressure is mainly focused on the area of Gao County Lieutenant.

There is a time limit for solving the case, and this kind of big case is two months at most, and if there is no conclusion for two months, he will be affected by both Gao County Lieutenant and Jiang Xiancheng.

Other cases can't be solved, so you can find a way to find someone to blame, I'm afraid no yamen will do this kind of thing, but this method will not work in Cui Yuanting's case.

So the pressure on Lieutenant Gao these days is really great.

Jiang Xiancheng touched his short beard and said, "Is there really no clue at all?" ”

Lieutenant Gao thought for a while: "If you want to say that there is a point, this point is still reminded by Cui Countyling, the characteristics of the corpses of those black-clothed people show that they are likely to be strong archers before their deaths, and they are strong bows that draw more than three stones." ”

Jiang Xiancheng was stunned: "More than three stones? It has to be a strong archer in the Hebei Lulong Army, or the Northwest Shuofang Army! ”

Jiang and Gao fell silent for a while, and Captain Pi looked left and right for some reason.

After a while, Jiang Xian Chengcai frowned and said: "This kind of strong archer is one in a thousand talents, and they are very precious, who would send several such people to kill a small county commander at once?" ”

Lieutenant Gao was also silent, and being able to send such a handicraft shows that Cui Yuanting's enemies are extraordinary.

Suddenly, I heard Jiang Xiancheng stroking his palms and laughing: "Good, good!" Just report it like that. ”

Lieutenant Gao looked at Jiang Xiancheng suspiciously, and Jiang Xiancheng got up excitedly: "If you report this conclusion, you will point to Lu Longjun or Shuofang Army!" Of these two, which one of them is the court that the court dares to offend easily? ”

"The military of Heshuo surrendered, and their vigilance against the imperial court was never let go for a moment; And Shuo Fangjun is the biggest contributor to the counterinsurgency, hehe, no one in the imperial court dares to exonerate himself. ”

"The biggest possibility of this matter is that if you press it silently, Cui Yuanting's people will die in vain; If it is revealed, Cui Yuanting will offend the two armies at once, and we don't need to do it, and Cui Yuanting will not think about it in the future. ”
