"Presumptuous! The IOU contract is stored in the audit room, how can you see it if you want to? If you want to check it, you can go and ask the county to keep the official document! ”

"If there is a county official document, it will naturally be able to consult it, if not, then you can do it yourself!" After speaking, the man didn't say anything more and returned directly to the government office.

Outside the gate, many people have no choice for a while, but if they don't solve it, they will be ruined one by one.

"Everyone, everyone, I heard that the county guard loves the people like a son, as long as we tell the county guard, the county guard will definitely give me justice." A man next to him said triumphantly.

When everyone heard this, they all went in harmony. After seeing these people go to the county to guard the yamen, Li Xuan left with the man. Several people returned to their residences directly, and then changed into the clothes of the patrol imperial historian Yu embroidered clothes, let the guards play the flag, and the group rushed directly to the county guard office.

When Li Xuan came to the county guard office, there was a large group of people surrounding the government office at this time, and the officials of the government office changed their faces after seeing Li Xuan's honor guard, and hurriedly led people forward to carry their luggage.

"I don't know that the inspection of the imperial history is coming, the lower official has missed the welcome, the lower official has notified the county guard, and the county guard will come to greet him later, and please rest in the advanced government office of the imperial history."

Li Xuan originally came for these people, how could he go to the government office to rest, and said directly: "Don't be busy first, let me ask you, what are these people doing in front of the government office?" ”

"This, this" the man hesitated.

"What, do you need to ask the official personally?" Li Xuan said lightly.

"These people are doing it for the seedlings." Hearing Li Xuan's words, the man didn't dare to slack off anymore, and hurriedly said.

"Seedlings loan? What's so easy to deal with this, just let the Sinong Yamen approve it directly? Why are you gathered here? Li Xuan said.

"Shangguan Shangguan, if this is not the case, these people do not meet the regulations." The official hurriedly explained.

Li Xuan smiled indifferently and said, "Where is it not compliant?" ”

"Them."

"But in front of the inspection of the imperial history? At this time, a voice suddenly came, and Li Xuan raised his eyes to see that the person was wearing a county guard uniform, which was the county guard of Tancheng.

"I've seen the county guard!" Li Xuan hurriedly got up and returned the salute. Although he is an inspector of the imperial history and has the duty of inspecting the world, he has a special identity, but he is only an official of 600 stones, and the county guard is a high-ranking official with a rank of more than 2,000 stones. Proper etiquette is a must.

"The imperial history has worked hard from afar, and the official has prepared a banquet, and please appreciate the imperial history." The county keeper said with a smile.

"The county guard has good intentions, the official understands it, these people must have a problem to ask for help, the county guard is a county parent official, it is better to solve the people's worries first, and it doesn't hurt for the official to wait here." Li Xuan said politely.

Gao Qi, the county guard, took a deep look at Li Xuan, and suddenly understood in his heart that this inspection of the imperial history was only for him. Even if the scene in front of him was not done by him, it was inseparable from him.

Gao Qi immediately said: "Since Li Yushi has good intentions, then the county guard will solve problems for the people first." ”

After speaking, he immediately came to those people with his entourage and said, "This official is the county guard Gao Qi, why are you gathered here?" ”

Hearing that it was such a big official as the county guard, these people didn't dare to speak for a while, but fortunately, the village chief had some insight, so he stepped forward and said:

"Master County Shou, we are all villagers of Xiayu Village, just because we have not borrowed Qingmiao loan, but the Si Nong Ya Department said that we have already borrowed, we want to confront it and check the loan documents, but that Si Nong Yan needs the order of the county guard, so I came to ask the county guard to make decisions for us and other small people."

"If there is no loan, why is there an IOU? If there is an IOU document, it is naturally a loan, this matter is simple, send someone to check it to know the truth or falsehood! The county guard said directly.

"Someone, go to the Sinong Yamen with my warrant, and ask them to bring the IOU here, and the official will testify in person."

"Fellow villagers, what do you think?"

"The county keeper is benevolent and loves the people, and it is our blessing to be the master of the people!" Everyone praised.

Soon the official with the warrant came to the Sinong Yamen, and then asked people to come to the county guard yamen with the IOU documents.

The crowd saw the IOUs and began to inspect them.

The documents are all printed in a unified format by the government, and only a few places need to be written, so you only need to pay attention to the signature of the borrower at the back. But when they opened the IOU and looked at it, they saw that it was their names written at the end.

The official said, "It's your name on the paperwork, so there's no problem with this paperwork!" ”

"No, I didn't write this at all, I can't write!" The man said loudly.

"This IOU is fake!"

"Black and white, how is it fake? There is also a seal of the government office on it, don't mess around! The official said dissatisfied.

"Since it wasn't written by someone else, what's going on with this IOU?" Li Xuan asked.

When the official saw that it was the imperial history who asked, he didn't dare to slack off, and immediately said: "Shangguan, you don't know that many of the people who borrowed Qingmiao loans were illiterate, so they often used the scribe to write on their behalf, and then let the people draw them again, so these documents were not written by the people themselves." ”

After hearing this, Li Xuan felt reasonable, and then asked: "If the people are illiterate, how can they know if what they have written is in line with their original meaning?" ”

"Shangguan, every document is signed, a guarantor needs to be present, and after the guarantor has checked that there is no problem, it will be signed and pledged."

"I see!" Li Xuan nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's compare the drawings." ”

The official looked at the county guard, and finally arched his hand: "Only! ”

Immediately let the people draw on the white paper, and then compare it with the paperwork, and after the comparison, the two paintings were sent to the county guard, and after the county guard compared, he handed the paintings to Li Xuan for comparison.

Li Xuan looked at it carefully, these two handprints were exactly the same, and his heart immediately sank, could it really be that these people wanted to repay their debts? But these people are just grass people, without official status, if there is no big thing, how dare they come to the county guard to make trouble?

"Li Yushi, but what do you see?" The county guard watched Li Xuan not speak for a long time and reminded him.

"The two handprints are exactly the same!" Li Xuan glanced at Gao Qi, and then returned the document to the official Si Nong.

"No way, it's not true, you're framing me!" When the man heard this, he couldn't control his emotions and yelled.

"The county guard and the imperial history testify in person, and you dare to make noise, come and take it down and wait for it!" The official next to him scolded.

Li Xuan frowned slightly, and immediately spoke: "The county guard is the parent official here, this person is just a foolish person, just drive it away, don't damage the reputation of the county guard!" ”

Gao Qi waved his hand and asked people to drive the man out.
