Chapter 73: Is Li Jin a human or a demon?

When Hu Weiyong explained his intention in front of Li Jin's mansion, he thought that he would be able to meet Li Jin smoothly.

But when Menzi heard that Hu Weiyong was from the capital, he opened his mouth directly for two hundred taels of silver, otherwise there was no need to talk about it.

After all, Hu Weiyong was secretly investigating, and he couldn't reveal his identity, but he was still angry by the door in front of him.

After the communication was fruitless, Hu Weiyong participated in politics in a Chinese book province, but he was turned away by a small county order because he didn't bring any money.

This made Hu Weiyong think it was a great shame.

But after Hu Weiyong calmed down, he was shocked by Li Jin's audacity.

You must know that the most hated thing by the emperor today is corrupt officials, but now Li Jin is blatantly asking for bribes in front of the door, this is really a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers.

Or is there a backer behind it?

Before Hu Weiyong figured out Li Jin's heels, he still decided not to startle the snake for the time being.

In Hu Weiyong's view, this Shanghu County is simply specially built for their Huaixi Group.

There is a thriving business, a large population, and countless wealth, as long as they occupy this place, then their Huaixi party can stand tall in the imperial court.

To put it mildly, when the time comes, even if Zhu Yuanzhang wants to move them, he has to weigh them.

After Hu Weiyong was sure that he would not see Li Jin, he planned to return to the capital.

He wanted to explain the situation here to Li Shanchang as soon as possible, and then discuss the next attitude towards Shanghu County.

Just as Hu Weiyong was on the way to leave Shanghu County, he saw someone holding a banner with the words that the county order of Shanghu County intended to rebel.

This made Hu Weiyong overjoyed.

Hurriedly called these people into the carriage and asked about the situation.

"Are you saying that Li Jin actually recruited more than 3,000 soldiers in Yiwu County?"

After Hu Weiyong heard the words of several people, his eyes suddenly widened.

What does that mean? Could it be that Li Jin is secretly training the army and wants to rebel?

Hu Weiyong thought about it, Shanghu County is so prosperous, there is money and food, if it really rebels, it is really hard to say.

After all, since ancient times, the basis for rebellion is money and food.

Based on Hu Weiyong's understanding in Shanghu County, needless to say, the money and grain in Shanghu County must be piled up.

Hu Weiyong immediately brought all these people with him, and he was even more kind and comforting on the way.

These people may be important witnesses for themselves to deal with Li Jin in the future.

Thinking of these, Hu Weiyong thought of being insulted by Menzi in front of Li Jinmen, which made him hate Li Jin and Wu.

Soon, Hu Weiyong returned to the capital with these people.

didn't go home, he directly took these people and rushed to Li Shanchang's house non-stop.

At this time, it was not early, and Li Shanchang fell asleep in his concubine's house, which was Li Shanchang's fourth concubine.

From the first year of Hongwu to the fourth year of Hongwu, the speed of one year was basically maintained.

Hearing that Hu Weiyong asked to see him, Li Shanchang knew that the matter in Shanghu County had a result, and he didn't have time to say goodbye to his concubine, so Li Shanchang put on his pajamas and walked out.

In the living room, Hu Weiyong's face was tired, but his eyes were shining.

"Teacher, the disciple has already found out about the matter of Shanghu County."

The moment he saw Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong stood up and said to Li Shanchang excitedly.

And when Li Shanchang saw Hu Weiyong's appearance, he knew the affairs of Shanghu County, and he was inseparable from ten.

"Exactly as it was rumored?"

Unexpectedly, Hu Weiyong shook his head and said excitedly:

"It's all over it, teacher, this is a gift from God to our Huaixi honor!"

"There is gold everywhere, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Shanghu County is a place where every inch of land is valuable."

Hu Weiyong told Li Shanchang everything he had investigated in Shanghu County in the past few days.

After hearing Hu Weiyong's words, Li Shanchang also showed an incredible expression on his face.

Then he stroked his beard, frowned slightly, and lowered his head to begin to think.

After a while, Li Shanchang finally raised his head and asked Hu Weiyong:

"What do you think about this?"

"Teacher, shall we make a move?"

Hu Weiyong said very bluntly, for a place like Shanghu County, even he couldn't help but salivate.

If it is said that before leaving from Shanghu County, Hu Weiyong still thought that he could win over Li Jin.

But these people he met on the road directly changed Hu Weiyong's psychology.

Although Li Jin is also from Huaixi, he is not from the Huaixi noble background, and it is unknown whether he has the same heart as them.

In this case, wouldn't it be more stable to directly remove this Li Jin from the position of the county magistrate of Shanghu County and replace him with his own people?

Li Shanchang nodded lightly and asked again:

"Are the people you're looking for?"

"Don't make trouble for us when the time comes!"

"You know, those people in Zhedong have been staring at us, if we make a mistake at this time, they will never let go of this opportunity."

Hu Weiyong had just been promoted, and he felt that Zhu Yuanzhang attached great importance to it, and he didn't take this group of people in eastern Zhejiang very seriously, so he said directly:

"Rest assured, there will be no problems in this matter."

"Rebellion is a big crime, no matter what, Li Jin will be removed from the position of the county commander, as for whether he can survive or not, it depends on the emperor's intentions."

Li Shanchang understands Zhu Yuanzhang's mind better than Hu Weiyong.

If it really involves the level of rebellion, let alone Li Jin, even if it is Zhu Yuanzhang's own nephew, he can kill him.

"If the real crime is confirmed, this Li Jin will be dead."

"It's just that the old man is a little pity for his talent."

"Wei Yong, how do you say he managed to make Shanghu County so prosperous in such a short period of time?"

Even Li Shanchang, who has the title of Xiao He's talent, can't help but marvel at Li Jin's methods.

After all, the prosperity of Shanghu County has reached a terrifying level, making it difficult to imagine this unpredictable means.

Hu Weiyong didn't care in his heart, no matter how powerful the means were, he didn't have to die in the hands of Hu Weiyong in the end.

If the emperor knows this Li Jin's ability to reach the sky, how can this court still have his Hu Weiyong's early days?

"Teacher, Li Jin is not our person after all, and it is better to clear this unstable factor as soon as possible."

Li Shanchang didn't say anything more, but just told Hu Weiyong to settle those who were brought back.

"You can rest and rest for the next few days, and when you are on duty, you can bring this matter up."

"The so-called three fires for new officials to take office, take this Li Jin as your first fire."

Subsequently, Li Shanchang asked Hu Weiyong to go home, and he continued to return to the concubine's room, grinding his ears and temples.

....

In the blink of an eye, it was another three days.

In the early dynasties, Zhu Yuanzhang handled the political affairs of various ministries in an orderly manner.

"Emperor Qi, Weichen reported the county order of Shanghu County, had bad intentions, illegally recruited sergeants in Shanghu County, trained secretly, and plotted to rebel!"

Hu Weiyong's words successfully attracted the attention of civil and military officials to him, who had just taken office in Zhongshu Province to participate in politics.
