Wang Che sent the imperial historian to inspect all parts of Guanzhong, and the results of this inspection shocked Wang Che.

In the past, the imperial court paid more attention to the Central Plains, after all, the Central Plains was densely populated, the land was fertile, and all kinds of water conservancy and irrigation were perfect, and it was one of the foundations of the Wang family like Jinling and Huai'an.

The great cadres attached great importance to Guanzhong one level lower than the previous ones, when the Huai State beat the Qin State very badly, coupled with the continuous use of Guanzhong population to migrate to the Western Regions, the Hehuang Valley and Bashu, even if there is the Weihe Plain, fertile fields for thousands of miles, but because of the imperial court's policy on the Loess Plateau, it has always been weaker than the Central Plains.

Later, because of the opening of the Silk Road, Guanzhong also received a lot of benefits, and many people became richer and richer because of the trade route, and wealth made people crazy, and it was also because wealth made people have no scruples. Therefore, various gray industries have also emerged.

Even because of the dangerous places in various parts of Guanzhong, there are some bandits, the number of these bandits is not large, most of them hide in dangerous places, and they usually do not harass the people, but rob the merchants.

These bandits worked with the local nobles and magnates to sell the looted goods at low prices. Once the government sent troops to exterminate them, these bandits either broke down into pieces and hid them, or occupied dangerous places.

The township soldiers in various places were not regular troops, they were not well trained, and their numbers were not large, and they could not be exterminated for a time in the face of bandits who occupied advantageous and dangerous places and were covered by nobles and heroes.

What's more, because officials in various places are rogue officials, as long as these bandits do not rob the people, they generally do not attack.

After seeing the performance of the Imperial Historian's secret visit, Wang Che's face was gloomy. After the purge of the Imperial History Tower, this group of young Imperial Historians are all young people who have just arrived in the blood and gas, and they are far from being comparable to the Imperial History with that kind of twilight and slippery sophistication.

Wang Che sent Wang Zong and the imperial historian Xue Chao, and the embroidered envoy commanded Deng Sheng to supervise the office.

Fengxiang County is located west of Chang'an, and since the Daqian occupied Hetao and Hexi, its status as a military town has been reduced.

Daxingfang, located in the north of the city, is the richest area here. Early in the morning, Li Zhao woke up, he slept less when he was older, the snow had stopped last night, Li Zhao wore wool weaving and went to the brocade to walk into the hospital for activities, and then prepared to drink a bowl of goat milk porridge, at this time, the housekeeper came to report something.

Hearing the report from the housekeeper, Li Zhao's face immediately became gloomy, and then said, "Call the third child, I have something to order." ”

"Yes!" The butler hurried away.

Soon a man who looked similar to Li Zhao and was so strong that he hurried over, this person seemed to have just had a strenuous exercise, sweating profusely, sat down directly, picked up the teacup and poured it first, and then said: "What is the big brother looking for me?" ”

"Recently, the imperial court sent a new inspector to inspect the imperial history to inspect Guanzhong, you ordered to go down, let those people be honest, and go home first." Li Zhao said directly.

"A new patrol history? What are you afraid of, as long as you give enough money, they are the same as the ones before! Li Jian said nonchalantly.

Li Zhao shook his head and said: "This time is different, the new emperor ascends the throne, even if it is for show, don't confront the general trend of the imperial court, go!" ”

"Yes, big brother!" Li Jian nodded and got up to leave.

I heard that not long ago, several nobles in the capital were exiled from their homes, and this majesty is not a soft-hearted person.

"Surround the Li Mansion, don't let anyone go!"

Early in the morning, before the city gate was opened, a large number of troops came to the north of the city, and the gate of the Li family was directly knocked open by the soldiers, and then the wolf-like soldiers rushed in.

After Li Zhao, who was eating breakfast, got the news, his face changed suddenly, and he hurriedly ordered a few henchmen to flee through the back door with San Lang. Then he hurriedly sent someone to notify the county guard and ask the county guard for help.

As soon as the order was given, a large number of soldiers had already rushed in.

Li Zhao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Who are you waiting for, you dare to trespass on the mansion of this lord!" ”

After seeing Li Zhao, Jiang Lie, the official embroidered envoy at the head, directly took out an order signed by Xue Chao, the imperial historian, and Deng Sheng, the commander of the embroidered envoy: "Li Zhao raised bandits, bought and sold women, disregarded human lives, and robbed and killed the caravan Ben Dubo was ordered to arrest you and the rest of the family!" ”

"Li Zhao, your incident has happened!"

Li Zhaoru's face changed suddenly when he was struck by lightning, he stood up straight with the support of the housekeeper, and hurriedly said: "General, misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" ”

"My Li family is a nobleman, loyal to the country, how can I raise bandits? It must be a mistake, a mistake, I want to see the county guard, I want to see the county guard! ”

"The county guard? Hehe, the county guard has been arrested and taken out of prison, and the men will naturally be able to imagine it! The embroidered clothes made Du Bo sneer, and said that he didn't look at Li Zhao, who was stunned, and waved his hand directly: "Catch it!" ”

These embroidered envoys were all sent from Luoyang, the divine capital, and they were not afraid of these local snakes at all, even if Li Zhao was an earl, they would not be used, and they would be taken down directly.

Suddenly, a soldier ran over and reported: "Dubo, someone at the back door tried to escape, but he just happened to be caught!" ”

Li Zhao's face became even more ugly.

The arrest of an earl is a big event in the county, let alone the arrest of the county guard.

After Li Zhao was arrested, he was not imprisoned, but directly interrogated, and at the same time there were some bandits who were arrested.

"Do you know who he is?" Imperial Doctor Xue Chao asked directly.

Those bandits had no backbone, and after some torture, they had confessed, and immediately said: "He is Li Zhao, the county's Lord Li!" ”

"Say them one by one, who are you, how do you know him, and what is your relationship with him? And what have you done? ”

"I'll come first, I'm a bandit from Feiyun Village, once we robbed a merchant and wanted to sell the stolen goods, I secretly followed the big boss, and found that he changed his clothes several times after entering the city, and finally came to Li's house."

"Later, once the big boss got drunk and inadvertently said that the Li family was our backstage."

"You say!" Xue Chao pointed to another person next to him.

"I abduct and sell women and children, and the Li family runs the largest green building in the county, and many of our women and children are handed over to them to sell."

"Nonsense, Doctor Xue, Hugh wants to listen to them, Benjue doesn't know them at all! They're framing me! I think that my Fengxiang Li family is the founding father, and I have a good land and a beautiful house, how can the high-ranking official Houlu go back to do this kind of thing? Li Zhao did not admit it, and shouted injustice.

"Dare to quibble!"

Xue Chao smiled coldly and ordered Li Zhao's men to be pulled out. These subordinates are not hard-core, they have been tortured again, and they continue to confess one by one.

Where it was robbed from, where the transaction location was, and who he traded with were all clearly explained, and Li Zhao's face became more and more pale.
