Three visits to the main hall of the villa, under the plaque of gold paint on a black background.

Li Xuan sat on the left side of the central hall, and Ning Yi sat on the right side of the central hall.

Yu Ze, Wang Bo, and Qiu Zhenmu stood on the left side of Li Xuan's body, while Xu Jin was writing quickly on the table sitting on the side.

Xu Ge knelt on the ground in front of the hall.

Under the scrutiny of everyone, Xu Ge's body straightened, his face was indifferent, and he said, "The villain was indeed born in Caozhou, but he was separated from the Xu clan several generations ago...... In the early years of the next year, he struggled to survive in Yangzhou, and later the imperial court conquered Goguryeo, and the villain went to Baekje with the army."

"You went to Baekje?" Li Xuan suddenly interrupted Xu Ge, frowned and asked, "Back then, it was the British Duke who led the army in the Korean expedition to Goryeo, right?"

"Yes." His Excellency Xu looked at the northeast direction consciously, and said with a hint of reverence in his eyes: "In the first year of Qianfeng, there was turmoil in Goryeo, and His Majesty appointed the British Duke as the head of the march of Liaodong Province, and led 20,000 troops to attack the city and conquer the city, all the way to the city of Pyongyang, and then it took more than a month to conquer Pyongyang, capture the king of Goryeo, Gozang, and destroy Goguryeo."

Li Xuan nodded and said, "This king remembers that after the army triumphed, the sage ordered the British general Goguryeo King Gaozang to hold a prisoner sacrifice ceremony at the tomb of the first emperor Zhao, and then enter the capital and sacrifice prisoners at the Taimiao."

"The prince remembers correctly." Ning Yi, who was sitting on the right side, had a pale face and said, "He has such a meritorious achievement, and he has the rank of Captain of the Nine Rank Ren Yong awarded by the imperial court, and the successive county commanders of Jinhua will recognize that what he said is true for the British princes."

Xu Ge has been able to swagger and deceive in Jinhua for so many years, which is inseparable from his resume.

"I guess you didn't get this rank of Captain Renyong on the battlefield of Dongdao, right?" Li Xuan suddenly looked at Xu Ge coldly.

Xu Ge nodded helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "That's true, although Xiaguan participated in the battle against Goguryeo, as a fellow countryman with the same surname as the British duke, he also received preferential treatment in the army, but unfortunately, before attacking Pyongyang, Xiaguan was shot in the chest, and was later sent back to Yangzhou......

"Even though you were physically wounded, you were not able to participate in the battle against Pyongyang, so your merit is not enough to be honored...... So at this time, when someone comes to you and offers you this, you are very tempted, right?" Li Xuan only said a few words, and told the truth about what happened to Xu Ge back then.

The corners of Xu Ge's mouth twitched slightly, but in the end, he nodded in a deep voice and said, "That's true, it was Qian Qilang who came to the door, and he wanted to take charge of the thousands of acres of fertile land in Jinhua for him, and he didn't have to do anything every year, he didn't have to think about anything, he could get a lot of money, and even had the rank of Captain Renyong."

Speaking of this, the corners of Xu Ge's mouth showed a slight hint of ridicule, and then said disdainfully: "Many people, fighting on the battlefield for a lifetime can not get things, some people just move a little bit of the relationship, and they can easily get their hands, this world, it's really ridiculous!"

Li Xuan ignored this stubble, and directly changed his mouth and asked, "Then what's the matter with the extra 2,000 acres of land, did you send people to fill in the lake and secretly expand your own industry, or did Qian Qilang send people to fill in the lake, conceal the acres of land, and evade taxes?"

Li Xuan's body leaned forward slightly, and a strong sense of oppression hit straight down.

"Does the prince think that the villain can command so many people, fill in so many lakes, and still go unnoticed? Where did these things happen to the villains and outsiders?" Xu Ge shook his head with a wry smile and said, "The prince is to dismantle the villain into eight pieces, and the villain can't do this." Z.br>

"So, everything is done by Qian Qilang." Li Xuan nodded understandingly, then looked at Ning Yi on the side with a calm face and said: "Ning County Order, such a matter, Jinhua County can't be ignorant, someone must have suppressed this matter, this king sees that the Jinhua County government needs to be cleaned up, you come to write a petition, this king will approve it now."

According to the regulations of the imperial court, although Ning Yi was the commander of Jinhua County, Liu Cao joined the army only as a subordinate, not a slave.

For these people, Ning Yi can only temporarily detain the other party, and after the evidence is conclusive, he can submit it to the state government, and after the state government approves it, he can arrest people and send them to prison.

Now that Li Xuan, as a special driver in this state, is here, this procedure can be approved immediately.

"The lower officer obeys." Ning Yi did not hesitate at all, and immediately responded.

The problem now involves Jinhua County, if Ning Yi can't find out the culprit, then he can only bear the blame.

Li Xuan looked at Xu Tu again, and his tone became cold for the first time: "There is another question, the girl in the backyard, did you let you tie it up, or did Qian Qilang let you tie it, to be honest."

"Women don't have to use this kind of indiscriminate means." Xu Ge sneered slightly, raised his head and said, "The reason for this matter, I only heard Qian Qilang say a word, it seems that when this woman's grandfather was fishing by the lake, he inadvertently noticed that something was wrong with the lake and began to investigate, but as soon as he moved, it immediately aroused Qian Qilang's vigilance, and this is what happened later."

Li Xuan waved his hand, looked at Xu Ge and said, "In other words, after you captured the people, they haven't moved?"

Xu Ge was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously and said, "That's right, in normal times, Qian Qilang will come quickly......

"That means you've done it a lot of times!" Ning Yi, who was on the side, suddenly slapped the table with a fierce slap, making a loud noise.

"It's useless for Ning County Ling to follow him, these things, I can know it below, it is already the largest scale given by Qian Qilang, as for participating in something, Xia Guan thinks that he is not a cronie of Qian Qilang," Xu Ge can see now that if he really wants to get a life, he has to rely on Li Xuan.

Li Xuan took the confession recorded by Lu Jin in his hand, looked it up and down, and then handed it to Ning Yi and said, "If there is no objection to the Ning County Order, then ask the criminal to sign and draw the confession, and then this king will immediately send this confession to Shendu...... This case is typical!"

Looking at Li Xuan's deep eyes, the words in Ning Yi's mouth were suddenly completely suffocated.

Li Xuan smiled lightly.

Although this method of using others to obtain acres of land is not uncommon in various places, the center of the imperial court may not know much of the truth.

If these things are directly pierced, it is naturally indispensable to offend the wealthy families in the world, but if you can get the appreciation of the emperor and the queen of heaven, then it is definitely cost-effective.

The emperor is now wholeheartedly thinking about the westward expedition, but the supply of food and wages in the world is always insufficient.

If at this time, let him know that there is still such a large piece of tax in the world that is hidden by others.

Li Xuan believes that Li Zhi's eyes will definitely be green and shiny at this time.

"Moreover, the Qian family's hidden field in Jinhua must be more than such a place, and there may be many hidden places in the entire Jinhua place." After a pause, Li Xuan suddenly looked at Ning Yi and asked with a deep gaze, "Ning County Order, do you think this king is waiting for you to find out these things before reporting them, or is it ......?"

"Please wait a minute." Ning Yi hurriedly stood up and said to Li Xuan, "I hope that the prince's subordinates will be merciful, how Jinhua's performance in the past three years is in the prince's thoughts."

The imperial court evaluates its performance every three years, and now two years have passed since the last one.

Ning Yi, who could have taken a step forward, would have affected his future immediately if this matter was not handled well.

"Well, this king will wait a little longer." Li Xuan turned his head to look at Xu Ge, who was kneeling on the ground, and said without hesitation, "Pressing him into the depths of the county jail, no one can visit him without a warrant from this king...... There is also the county government, Ning County Order, it really has to be cleaned well, this king has been in Jinhua for several days, and a real Tianyin bandit has not been found, this is not a good thing."

Li Xuan has never forgotten the real purpose of her trip to Jinhua.

In addition to harvesting rice, the most important thing is to find the hidden traces of the Tianyin Sect in Jinhua.

But up to now, ordinary Tianyin Sect disciples have indeed found a lot, but the real Tianyin Thief has not found a single one.

Ning Yi's face changed slightly, and then he arched his hand and said, "Maybe what the prince said is indeed not bad, in Jinhua, there is really something wrong."

"Then let's look it up." Li Xuan was very satisfied with Ning Yi's attitude, and did not continue to dwell on this matter, and said instead, "Three thousand here

Mu of land, this year, the king will cut all of it to offset the tax amount...... As for how to make up for it later, that's a matter of later, and the most important thing at the moment is that there can't be any problems with the autumn tax.

With these 3,000 mu of grain, the tax collection in Jinhua this year will be greatly advanced, which is a good thing."

Ning Yi reacted quickly, and he immediately understood the subtext in Li Xuan's words.

Using the grain of these 3,000 mu fields to offset the tax amount, the summer harvest will end early, and if the Tianyin Sect can't react in time, the threat to Jinhua will be greatly reduced.

Ning Yi immediately gave up his hand and said gratefully, "The prince is wise."

"It's the county order that is wise, if more hidden fields can be found this time, the Ning county order may be able to take two more steps up, unlike this king, who has to waste many years before he can take another step up." Li Xuan sighed lightly.

Although he is now a state, if he wants to serve as a assassin, he still needs many years of tempering.

It's not something that can be offset by a casual credit or two.

He is a prince, and the credit is not so important to him.

In many cases, grasping the emperor's mind can make him go up more smoothly.

As for the credit, it is not a bad thing to give some of it.

"The prince is really ashamed of others when he says this!" Ning Yi smiled bitterly and bowed his hand, and then said, "The lower official has left for the time being, and after the county government has finished handling all the affairs, he will come to the prince to pay tribute!"

Li Xuan stood up and waved his hand, and Qian Niuwei on the side immediately grabbed Xu Ge, and then handed it over to Jinhua County Catcher.

Seeing them leave Sangu Villa with Ning Yi and Lu Jin.

Standing in front of the gate of the villa, Li Xuan turned sideways and lightly ordered: "Let everyone clean up the villa, we will spend the night here in the next few days."

Yu Ze immediately surrendered.

At this time, Qiu Zhenmu cautiously stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Lord Wang, will I really hand over Xu Ge to the county government like this, do you want to send someone to keep an eye on it, in case Xu Ge dies in the county prison......

"Who will kill him?" Li Xuan suddenly raised her head and looked at Qiu Zhenmu, her eyes full of depth.

"Naturally, it's money...... The subordinates understood, the prince was fishing."

"Yes, now it depends on which fish will be caught."
