Chapter 17: You're a Bad Kid
Seeing the prince Jiang Hong's dedication to the position of chief catcher, Li Xing had to sigh that he was worthy of running his own business, and he was attentive.
In less than two hours, the prince had already replaced all the three classes of officials with people from Woniu Mountain, and arranged for them to be on duty.
The entire county government resumed operation again, and Li Xing was in a very good mood at this time.
When he returned to the Houya study, he began to write letters to Xing Guogong, as well as the recitals that were handed over to the emperor.
The identity and background of those ordinary mountain bandits in Hewoniu Mountain were described in detail, and as for those who were in charge, he didn't say it, because both Xing Guogong and the emperor knew it.
He believed that when they read the letters, they would understand his intentions.
So he just wrote in the recital; "I hope that Your Majesty will exempt those mountain bandits from their crimes, let them make meritorious contributions, and become an important force in maintaining local peace."
After writing these, Li Xing asked Li Gou'er to send them to the post station.
Li Gou'er left, and Li Xing was about to make some tea to moisten his throat.
Yang You, Master Yang, ran over again.
first greeted Li Xing, and then opened his mouth to say the purpose of coming this time, or worry.
"My lord, isn't it a bit of a hurry to dismiss all the officials and let the people of Woniu Mountain go to the top? In case those officials who returned were dissatisfied, if they joined forces, the entire Lingwu might fall into chaos. ”
"Also, Woniu Mountain is a mountain bandit after all, and I am worried that it will be difficult for them to change their identities so quickly."
Regarding the government officials will make trouble in the future and make a stumbling block, Li Xing really thought of it.
Even he was in a hurry to do this, just hoping that those dismissed officials would make trouble.
In this way, he can follow the vine and find the real person behind the scenes.
As for the mountain bandits in Woniu Mountain, he was not worried.
After all, it was the shadow guard who personally helped the prince train, and if he couldn't even do this little thing, then the shadow guard should be disbanded.
"Mr. Yang, please be seated."
Li Xing beckoned Yang You to sit down, and then said with a smile: "To tell you the truth, this official just wants to let them make trouble, the bigger the trouble, the better, it is best to let those old foxes behind them also move." ”
"My lord, the students don't agree with your approach, and now that the Lingwu drought has not been resolved, it is unwise to rashly cause chaos."
How could Yang You not guess Li Xing's intentions.
But he knew even more about the energy of those intertwined big families in Lingwu County.
As long as these people behind the scenes control the food and salt needed for people's livelihood to skyrocket, the people who can barely make ends meet may not even be able to eat.
Yang You finished worrying, but Li Xing smiled.
"The chief catcher has personally gone over to take over Chang Ping, and with the grain that Chang Ping has won, I'm not afraid of them messing around."
"But there may not be food for closing the position."
Yang Youxin said, adults are still too young, how can they naively think that there is food in Changping?
"I know, so I told the chief arrester to take down all the people and interrogate them if they find that there is a shortage of grain in Taiping."
After Li Xing finished speaking, Yang You's face showed incredulity, but he quickly reacted.
This time I thought about it a little too much, the county magistrate is the son of Xing Guogong, even if he doesn't follow the rules, the officials of the state government probably won't dare to offend him.
It's just that he doesn't know that Li Xing's current reliance is not on his cheap father, but on His Royal Highness the Prince.
Even if extreme methods are used to recover food and then use work for relief to the victims, His Majesty the Emperor knows that the crown prince is involved, even if some laws are violated, I am afraid that he will turn a blind eye.
"Adults know what to expect, students are relieved, and there is one more thing to remind adults."
"What?"
"If the student's expectation is good, the person pretending to be a mountain bandit should be the daughter of Jiang County Tusi, and adults need to be a little more careful."
Tusi is an extremely special existence in Great Xia, they listen to the tune and do not listen to the announcement, especially the Tusi chief, which is equivalent to the soil emperor of a place, and even the state capital cannot govern.
Even in the previous dynasty, the county order offended the Tusi and was beheaded by the Tusi, and the emperor also punished the family of the county order in order to appease the Tusi.
Although Great Xia is a strong country, it is also very cautious in dealing with the issue of Toast.
Therefore, as long as it is a local official, it generally does not have a conflict with the Tusi, and even if it does happen, it is generally tolerated.
"Okay, I know, if Mr. Yang has nothing else to do, let's step back first!"
Li Xing's head was big again, he didn't expect that a small border county would have so many bad things.
Thinking of those ancient ministers who started from the county order, and they have been passed down through the ages, he only admires in his heart.
"Hey, let's take it one step at a time!"
He took a deep breath, regained some composure, and read a book for a while before he lay down to sleep.
At noon the next day, Li Xing, who was sleeping in Zhengxiang, was dragged up by Jiang Hong.
"As a county magistrate, with the imperial court's salary, you sleep until three poles a day, are you worthy of Your Majesty's trust in you? Hurry up and take care of business. ”
Li Xing was a little speechless, and Jiang Hong grabbed his hand.
While rubbing his eyes, he yawned and said: "You are the chief catcher, I am the county commander, I can take care of you, you can't manage me, besides, Master Yang is responsible for praying for rain, and you are responsible for the security of the county, so I will sleep a little longer, it's okay." ”
"As a court official, how can you be so lazy? You have the court money, don't you feel bad? ”
As soon as Jiang Hong's words came out, Li Xing directly gave him a caring look for the mentally retarded.
Only then did he say: "As long as you do practical things for the people and do your best for the stability of the country, you will not lose, and even I feel that there is less money!" ”
"Okay, okay, you have a point."
Jiang Hong suddenly felt that he was powerless to refute, and hurriedly got down to business: "As you guessed, Chang Ping's position has been hollowed out, and the second is in charge...... No, it's Ouyang Xiong, the head of the arrest team, who interrogated him overnight, and the results have already been released, this is all the confessions. ”
After speaking, Jiang Hong handed a stack of rice paper to Li Xing.
Li Xing took it and began to read it in detail.
The record in this is very detailed, and it took Li Xing a full stick of incense to read it.
After reading it, he had to pay for the profession of the shadow guard, which was very detailed in the interrogation record.
It's very clear when you traded, with whom, where and who you greeted.
And the confessions of these people corroborate each other.
"Do you want to arrest all these profiteers?"
Jiang Hong asked, but Li Xing smiled and said: "Don't worry, arresting them now is just to recover some food, it's not cost-effective, you have to wait for them to jump up, it's cost-effective." ”
"You kid, that's bad."
Jiang Hong was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes rolled, and he understood the meaning of Li Xing's words.
