"This Chen Mohuai and his ilk are really insatiable, when I sneaked into the secret cellar of his mansion last year, I found a lot of money and treasures hidden, I didn't expect that what I saw was only a scale and half a claw.

"Over the years, they have embezzled more than 300,000 taels of bribes, which is really staggering! I wonder what Lord Xing plans to do with these stolen silver and property? ”

Xing Wenxin saw that Shao Xi asked about the most sensitive matter of money, and hurriedly replied cautiously: "Naturally, it is necessary to hand over all of them, and these are just kept by the lower officials for the time being." ”

Shao Xi showed a mysterious smile on his face, and said to Xing Wenxin in a low voice: "I don't think you have to hand it all over, just leave you 100,000 taels!" ”

When Xing Wenxin heard this, he immediately panicked.

He couldn't imagine that Shao Xi would say such a thing to him in such a public place, although his voice was already very low, but if it was heard by someone with a heart, wouldn't it be impossible to wash it clean?

Hurriedly refused in a low voice: "Huh? Leave me 100,000 taels? What does Master Shao mean by this? This is absolutely unacceptable! ”

Shao Xi looked at his nervous appearance and was amused.

said to him unabashedly: "Lord Xing, where did you think of this official?" I said I would leave you 100,000 taels, but I didn't want to bribe you!

"These 100,000 taels are reserved for the people of Qingshan County, so Chen Mohuai and other corrupt officials have been in trouble in Qingshan County for many years, causing the people to suffer and the people to make a living.

"Now I leave you this 100,000 taels in the hope that Lord Xing will make proper use of it for the benefit of the local people, and it can be regarded as giving them some compensation for the suffering they have suffered over the years.

"As for how to use this money, it is completely up to you, Lord Xing, to decide, and you can still trust Lord Xing's official character."

Hearing Shao Xi say this, Xing Wenxin finally breathed a sigh of relief, he really scared him a lot just now, because he couldn't figure out what Shao Xi was.

I have to say that no matter how honest an official is, facing the temptation of 100,000 taels of silver, no one dares to say that he is completely sure that he will not waver.

And Xing Wenxin is a person who attaches great importance to his official reputation, and Chen Mohuai and others did not think of buying him at the beginning, but fortunately, he was determined enough to not be in the same league as those people.

But now Shao Xi's mouth is 100,000 taels, you must know that he can't save this 100,000 taels of silver even if he doesn't eat or drink for a few lifetimes, and he is afraid that his heart will be shaken in the face of such a temptation.

Secondly, this money is all registered, and it is to be handed over to the Jingyuan treasury, even if he has the courage to fight the idea of this money!

As soon as Shao Xi opened his mouth, he was going to take out nearly thirty percent to give him, this was going to lose his head, how could he not panic?

Finally, according to his understanding of Shao Xi, although Shao Xi behaved differently from ordinary people, he was a person with good conduct and evil hatred, and now he suddenly said such things to him, which made him feel that Shao Xi did not trust him for a while, and was deliberately testing him.

Xing Wenxin was wondering if he had done something wrong that caused Shao Xi's misunderstanding, so Shao Xi would test him so much?

If Shao Xi really lost his trust in him and doubted him, God knows if this Lord Shao would have participated in his own book in front of the Holy Master?

I have been a county official for so many years conscientiously and steadfastly, and I have only been a county guard for a few months, and I have also taken drastic measures to eliminate the accumulated evils and eliminate the bandits.

This has just achieved some results, and it is precisely when we want to show our strength in Qingshan County and benefit the people, if we lose the trust of the saint in ourselves, won't our career be ruined, and it will be difficult to repay our ambitions from now on?

Then all the hard work of the first half of his life turned into a handful of ashes, how could he not be nervous?

"Lord Shao, these stolen silver and property have all been registered and have to be handed over, so it is really inappropriate for me to be intercepted by Qingshan County for 100,000 taels, please think twice."

At this time, Shao Xi was continuing to flip through the account book in his hand, which happened to turn to the past few months in Qingshan County to exterminate all kinds of bandits, and confiscated all kinds of stolen silver and stolen goods from everywhere, totaling more than 100,000 taels.

This is nearly 500,000 taels compared with the previous more than 300,000 taels, although this is not worth mentioning compared with the Zhao family who were investigated in Yujiang County at the beginning, but you must know that this Qingshan County and that Yujiang County cannot be compared.

This is just a small remote county, and the local area is not rich, and the collusion of officials and bandits to loot so much people's fat and ointment is simply a heinous crime that cannot be forgiven!

Shao Xi was watching, but when he heard Xing Wenxin worried about this kind of thing, he smiled and put the account book back on the table.

said to Xing Wenxin: "Lord Xing don't have to worry about this matter, since this official is acting on behalf of the Holy Lord, he naturally has the right to make decisions on all relevant matters, as long as this matter is raised by me, the Holy Lord will not ask about it."

"If you think it's inappropriate for you to leave behind the stolen silver confiscated from those corrupt officials, these properties and silver confiscated by your Qingshan County in the past few months to exterminate bandits and robbers from all walks of life are the income of your Lord Xing and the officials to govern the place, isn't it the same for this official to let you keep it for your own use?

"As for the captured weapons and horses, they are also left for you to strengthen the local military defense, and the matter is so decided, Lord Xing, you can rest assured."

Xing Wenxin saw that Shao Xi had found such a suitable reason for himself to receive this silver tael, and he was simply grateful to Shao Xi.

This Qingshan County was not a rich place in the first place, and after so many years of looting by Chen Mohuai and others, coupled with the fact that a lot of manpower and material resources were used to encircle and suppress bandits from all walks of life some time ago, Xing Wenxin's hands are indeed very tight now.

Although it can't be said that there is no rice to cook, but the governance of the place is inseparable from money, and there are many things that cannot be done with this tight hand.

Shao Xi's decision was tantamount to a timely rain, which helped the local government solve all the financial problems at once, and Xing Wenxin could do a lot for the local people with this resource in his hands.

In addition, the weapons and horses mentioned by Shao Xi solved the problem of insufficient local military funds, which was a great help to both Qingshan County and Xing Wenxin himself.

Xing Wenxin has been a county leader here for many years, and he doesn't know much about local affairs, but the more he understands, the more worried he becomes, the previous Chen Mohuai left him such a big mess, if there is no external help, he can't solve it in a short time.

Shao Xi's arrangement is equivalent to helping him completely pave the way, and it is naturally easy to do things with money, and if Qingshan County is not well governed in the future, it will be his business.

In fact, Shao Xi did this out of trust in Xing Wenxin, and the biggest problem he helped Xing Wenxin settle down, and Xing Wenxin had no reason not to govern the local area well.

How to do it next depends on Xing Wenxin's own.

Xing Wenxin led officials at all levels in the county to stand up and toast Shao Xi to thank him, and now in their eyes, Shao Xi is not just a boss official who came to the capital on business, but Shao Xi at this moment is the God of Wealth in Qingshan County.

Not long after these newly appointed officials arrived in Qingshan County, they all wanted to make some achievements, but without money and food in their hands, no matter how many ideas they had, they would have nowhere to show their skills.

Now it's okay, Shao Xi helped them solve the most difficult thing, how can they not be grateful?

Shao Xi waved his hand to everyone and motioned for everyone to sit down, and only then did he officially enter the topic.

"Lord Xing, regarding the criminal Chen Mohuai and others, the Criminal Department and Dali Temple only convicted them, as for how to deal with it, the Holy Lord personally promised that the official could make his own decision.

"I will not be the slightest soft-hearted towards these people, and I hope that Lord Xing and all the adults here can cooperate with this official, and this official will thank you in advance."

Among all the people present, Xing Wenxin knew the most about this case, and when he heard Shao Xi's words, Xing Wenxin got up and left his seat, and solemnly bowed to Shao Xi.

said with a solemn face: "These are all things that are within my equal share, then Chen Mohuai and others are extremely evil, and they deserve it, how dare we have half a bit of prevarication in this matter?"

"Although the official saw what happened a year ago, he was powerless, and he didn't expect them to be so shameless and filthy, and the subordinate officials were ashamed of Lord Shao, how dare they be Lord Shao's thanks now?"

Shao Xi raised his hand to help Xing Wenxin and said, "What does this matter have to do with Lord Xing?" Even I didn't have time to save people, let alone Lord Xing? Lord Xing is not ashamed of me, and the culprit of everything is the group of shameless people.

"In the next two days, you will find out those who have been implicated in vain, and I will put those who deserve death to death in public, and you only need to prepare the venue and manpower in advance."

What Shao Xi wants to do and how to do it, Xing Wenxin's heart is very clear.

Shao Xi's trip is not only to carry out official business, but also to avenge personal revenge, and his personal vendetta is even personally intervened by the current saint, and Chen Mohuai and others don't even need to guess the fate of them.

However, from Shao Xi's expression and tone, Xing Wenxin already felt what kind of means Shao Xi would use, which might be the most cruel scene he had ever seen in his life.

However, his heart was extremely happy, if it weren't for Shao Xi's appearance, he didn't know how many years that group of people would have been in trouble in Qingshan County?

Now Shao Xi is not only venting his anger for himself, but also for the people of the entire Qingshan County, so Xing Wenxin feels that no matter what cruel means Shao Xi uses to deal with Chen Mohuai and the others, it is not too much.

"Your Excellency, please rest assured, the correct matter will soon have a result, according to the lower officials, it is better for the adults to be promoted tomorrow, since the disposal of these people does not need to wait until after the autumn of the next year, the adults might as well decide as soon as possible, not only to return justice to the local people and Mrs. Zun, but also to warn those who will be officials in the future."

Shao Xi picked up the wine glass on the table, and signaled to Xing Wenxin and the officials present: "This matter is so decided, and there will be all of you here in the next time, until the construction of my wife's cemetery is completed, I will have to bother everyone here to take care of it in the future, this official is here to thank you!" ”

After speaking, Shao Xi raised his head and drank the wine in the cup.

At this time, Lao Wu, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but shiver when he saw Shao Xi's gloomy face.
