Three days later.

Chuan Cheng.

Nangong Jingrong, Lin Cang and the four brothers of the An family came to Sichuan City in plainclothes.

"Your Highness, Lord Lin, it's all clear."

"Your Majesty not only exempted and exempted all land taxes in Daxia, allocated money to various localities to build local development, and even gave several times more grain money to the disaster area than in previous years."

"But only 30% of the imperial court appropriations in the four southern cities fell into practice, and most of the disaster relief funds were all gone."

"Not only the four cities in the south, but most of the cities in Great Xia have this problem, but the four cities in the south are the most serious, presumably because the people have been in dire straits for a long time before they will be used by people with intentions to revolt."

Anton knelt on the ground and said indignantly.

The four brothers of their An family investigated the four cities in the south for several days, and often saw the people in the fields sighing and miserable, but those bureaucrats and magnates were nostalgic for fireworks and wine, and they were happy.

Seeing that they were extremely angry, they wanted to take off the black gauze hats of the group of people immediately.

Nangong Jingrong couldn't help but roar angrily: "Is it the other way around? The silver of the court also dares to be greedy, it is really a mouse's eye, and it is not a pity to die. ”

Lin Cang's face was as usual, no matter what era it was, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were indispensable, but they only suffered the people at the bottom.

In the past, he was an ordinary person, and he had the share of being slaughtered by others.

I still remember that when his family pooled money to help him pay a down payment to buy an off-plan house, he thought it was the beginning of a better future, but he fell into the trap of the developer.

The developer's capital chain was broken, and the house directly became an unfinished building, and countless ordinary people like him not only lost all their family wealth, but also ended up homeless.

They had no way to denounce it, so they could only swallow the blood steamed buns handed by the developer with tears in their eyes.

But now it's different, in this day and age he has rights.

Lin Cang's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said: "The four of you will follow that group of corrupt officials, as long as someone dares to demand taxes from the people, they will be cut directly on the spot, and if anything happens, I, Lin Cang, will bear it alone." ”

Nangong Jingrong was stunned for a moment, took out his token, and added: "Take this additional person to watch all the bureaucrats, behead corrupt officials, and cut down corrupt officials, it's all up to you to deal with." And in case of a good official who is wrong, the prince personally came to the door to apologize. ”

Anton was a little surprised, "The status of the fifth prince is noble, how can this group of petty officials be qualified to make the prince apologize?" ”

"As long as he is a good official, this prince will be reused, so what's the harm in apologizing to him?"

Lin Cang smiled, "The fifth prince really understands the righteousness, and I deeply admire it. ”

His eyes suddenly fell on Anton, and when he saw that his face was serious, he couldn't help but tease: "Brother An has worked hard recently, I remember that you have also passed the Double Ten, right?" ”

"Yes, Lord Lin."

"Is there a marriage arrangement at home?"

Anton's face changed, his eyes flashed a little gloomy, and his voice suddenly became a little choked, "No, our four brothers have been orphans since childhood, and they have no father or mother and no family patriarch, so no one worries about us." ”

"That's good." Lin Cang suddenly smiled, "You four brothers have worked hard all these years. ”

His laughter made everyone a little confused, and they looked at Lin Cang for some reason.

"Have you ever seen the only daughter of Governor Sun?" Under everyone's attention, Lin Cang grinned and said, "I think you are quite suitable, why don't I go out and match you?" ”

Anton's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly waved his hand to refuse, and blurted out: "Thanks to the love of adults, I don't like women." ”

"My lord, after the investigation of the lower officials during this time, the prefect of Chuancheng is the most suspicious, he has a large amount of silver in the treasury, according to the spies to report that this dog official often has correspondence with the capital."

"Moreover, he lingers in the Qinglou every day, and he is very familiar with the Qinglou up and down, no matter how he looks at it, he looks like the biggest corrupt official."

Anton wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with a serious face.

The daughter of Governor Sun's mansion, he has seen it.

It's as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, and you will never forget it just by looking at it.

But this beauty asks for Lord Lin by name every day, and it is difficult not to doubt the relationship between them with such enthusiasm and flattery.

Lord Lin must be joking with himself, how can they imagine a woman who is directly subordinate to Shangguan.

Lin Cang already thought that Sun Ruoxin was troublesome, and he really wanted to get rid of this cowhide plaster.

But these are indeed insignificant compared to the serious matters of handling cases.

His face sank, "It's actually the capital, presumably there must be a backer from the forces in Beijing, and this group of people dares to be so rampant." ”

Nangong Jingrong's face was pale, and he said coldly: "Immediately send the prefect of Sichuan City to this official for questioning." ”

After a while, the Governor of Chuancheng Su was taken to Nangong Jingrong and Lin Cang by the Five Flowers.

Anton directly threw his fist at the head of the Su prefect.

The three brothers of the An family even gave him a full set of irritable slams, with full firepower, and directly hit him unhuman.

Nangong Jingrong raised his hand to signal, and Anton stopped his hand and took down the strip of cloth stuffed in Su Zhifu's mouth.

Governor Su didn't care about the pain, and crawled to Nangong Jingrong's feet in panic, "Your Highness, I don't know why the lower official annoyed you?" ”

Nangong Jingrong said disdainfully, "I didn't expect you to be the biggest corrupt official, Anton, hurry up and drag it down and cut it down." ”

"Wronged! Your Highness, the officials have been wronged. ”

Su Zhifu's nervous heart rose to his throat, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately.

I don't know what the number of these five princes is, why did they shout and cut off their heads when they first met?

"Hehe, are you embarrassed to say that you are wronged?" Lin Cang pursed his lips and continued disdainfully: "Where did the gold and silver in your treasury come from, and what is the matter with the daily correspondence with the capital?" ”

"Wronged, the little one is honest and honest, he has never done that, Lord Lin don't pour dirty water on the little one."

Governor Su rolled his eyes and continued: "The governor of the silver is temporarily stored here by me, as for what he is for, the lower officials don't know..."

"Governor of Huzhou?"

Lin Cang frowned, looked at Nangong Jingrong and nodded, and carefully inquired about all the relationships in the four cities in the south.

Su Zhifu was locked by Anton's throat, and he was so frightened that he gave up resistance, and he knew everything about it.

Listening to what he said, the temperature in the audience plummeted.

Feeling the suffocating depression, Governor Su wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked cautiously: "Fifth Highness, Lord Lin, the lower officials have finished speaking, can you let go of the official's life?" ”

The expressions of the two of them were quite solemn, and they still underestimated the complexity of the four cities in the south.

I thought that the Huzhou rebellion would be tricky enough, and the other cities had been governed by Great Xia for a hundred years, so it was not difficult to solve it.

Listening to what the prefect of Su said, the problems of the other three cities are even more serious.

The Huzhou riots took place on the open side, and these three cities were secretly colluding...

Originally, the treasury was empty, and the minds of this group of people were very peaceful.

Since the treasury was full, and the imperial court allocated countless silver taels to invest in the construction of various places, the whole situation has become treacherous, and most of the silver money has disappeared, and then all kinds of onerous taxes.

Huzhou's disaster relief funds are only the fuse, and the people's livelihood is grieving, and the displacement is the fundamental.

However, the local government wantonly drove away and insulted all the refugees, and even pointed the army that was originally used to protect the people at the innocent people, leaving the people in purgatory and miserable on earth.

Nangong Jingrong suddenly had murderous intent in his heart, "If you don't get rid of the moths in Great Xia, if you continue to develop like this, Great Xia will completely lose the hearts of the people, and the country will die." ”

Lin Cang took a deep breath, "Your Highness, this group of bloodthirsty ants is not to be feared, and the backers hiding behind them are the most difficult to deal with. ”

Hearing this, Nangong Jingrong's face was grim, and he said coldly: "It doesn't matter who the backer is, this matter involves the Great Xia River, and my father will never sit idly by." ”

"Quickly polish the ink for this prince, and this prince will report this matter to his father, and it is up to his father to decide."

This way.

Anton kicked Su Governor's Mansion fiercely, "It is impossible for the silver money of the imperial court to disappear out of thin air, it is all because of you corrupt officials and corrupt officials, who have made the Great Xia country into a miasma." ”

"You eat fat and round, dress so luxuriously, and your house is decorated extremely luxuriously, no matter how you look at it, you look like a corrupt official."

Lin Cang looked at the Su Governor's Mansion and said in a cold tone: "Even if it is the governor who collects money and tyranny, but in order to please your superiors, you voluntarily become a tool for the tiger, as the parent official of Sichuan City, ignoring the life and death of the people of Sichuan City, these alone are enough for you to die a hundred times." ”

Su Zhifu was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he choked up with a slight tremble: "Xiaguan is really wronged, I was just transferred to Chuancheng two months ago, and everything in the mansion has nothing to do with Xiaguan." ”

Lin Cang raised his eyebrows and scolded with disdain: "I see that your virtue is fat and round, and you don't look like a good official, and you must have done a lot of nonsense in the old jurisdiction." ”

"Anton, why are you brothers still stunned, hurry up and drag them down and cut them down."

"Yes."

Su Zhifu was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground like mud, and cried like rain of tears: "My lord, Xia Guan really hasn't done that, wronged, Xia Guan has been fat since he was a child, it is a family inheritance, this really can't blame the villain." ”

"Let's listen to it, until now, I still want to frame my ancestors and punish them together, so unkind and unfilial, I don't deserve to live in the world at all, so I quickly fell down and cut down."

Su Zhifu choked directly, no matter what he said, the other party had thousands of reasons to reply to him.

It is clear that he wants to kill himself, and it seems that he can't escape death today.

At the same time, Nangong Jingrong suddenly thought of something, "Brother Lin, he is still useful, and he can be a witness to return to Beijing to restore his life." ”

Hearing this, Lin Cang nodded.

Thinking about it in his heart, he looked at Su Zhifu again and asked, "Do you want to make a mistake for your merits?" ”

Su Zhifu nodded frantically, "Yes." ”

Lin Cang continued; "We're going to disguise ourselves now and go to the Huzhou Governor's Mansion to find evidence, you can help us cover up, no problem, right?"

Now, it was Nangong Jingrong's turn to be puzzled.

Lin Cang tacitly explained: "If we go directly to investigate, I'm afraid it will cause trouble, so it's better to take advantage of the defenselessness of those ministers and directly interrogate them on the spot." ”

"Wonderful! Brother Lin's plan is wonderful. Nangong Jingrong smiled and nodded.
