"Haha, the two brothers are honest. When Yu Zhong heard the names of these two brothers, he couldn't help but think of how Erlongshan met them in the first place.

"Don't worry, they are under my hands, they are quite safe, and tomorrow I will wait for my business, and bring them two to meet you. Xie Huchen replied.

"But Huchen you mentioned the matter of the secret account of Yixian County, I think you still have to deal with it carefully, when we brought down Cao Xiangui, I didn't expect this matter to leave a future trouble, but now it seems that it has created an opportunity for Chen Jing. Yu Zhong said.

"This is also the result of the struggle between the DPRK and China, and it is not something that you and I can control, we can only see the moves. Xie Huchen said.

"Well, if you need my help, just tell me that I'll have to go to Tiger Roaring Heights in a few days to attend the inauguration ceremony of their new owner, and when I get back, I'll be free to play this game with you. Yu replied.

Who could be more reliable than a brother, Yu Zhong has always done what he said, and he has never disappointed everyone.

Fighting tigers and brothers, not to mention that they have been closer than brothers since childhood.

The next day, all the counties under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou had arrived, which was the first time since Zhuang Menglong took office that the counties were convened to discuss the meeting.

Xie Huchen saw that the people on this place all had their own ghosts, and their hearts were different, so he really disdained to be with them, but this officialdom was originally a place of intrigue and deceit.

A group of people kept patting the horse at Zhuang Menglong, making Xie Huchen sit here like a pins and needles, and he only felt disgusting.

This Zhuang Menglong didn't seem to care about these flattering people, and kept his attention on Xie Huchen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is one of us who is more special, he is the Qipin Zhixian appointed by the emperor before the emperor, I think everyone knows who it is. As soon as Zhuang Menglong's words came out, the other magistrates present all looked at Xie Huchen.

Xie Huchen secretly said in his heart, isn't this an enemy for him?

As soon as these words fell, Xie Huchen looked at it, and sure enough, there was something wrong with the eyes of the people in this hall.

"Lord Xie, why don't you just share with us here what you played on the top of the Golden Palace today, and let you all listen to your insights. Although Zhuang Menglong said with a smile on his face, in Xie Huchen's eyes, there was a knife hidden in his smile.

His move is equivalent to roasting Xie Huchen on the fire, if he agrees, in the eyes of everyone, he is arrogant, and if he doesn't agree, he will refute Zhuang Menglong's face, in short, it is not pleasing to both sides.

I saw that Xie Huchen was not in a hurry, stood up and made a gesture, and said: "Lord Zhuang, colleagues, in fact, although the emperor appointed me alone, his intention is to reflect the emperor's common compassion and love for us and other grassroots officials. ”

As soon as he said this, the audience whispered and nodded their heads in praise, and it was obvious that everyone was very interested in his words.

Xie Huchen paused, and then continued: "The prelude to the emperor is right, the younger generation is just a few superficial sights, but I read from the ardent expectations of the saint that he regards me and other colleagues as the cornerstone of the country's attention, otherwise how could the saint personally confer on me a small seven-rank county, it is really borrowing the face of your colleagues." ”

Zhuang Menglong originally wanted to embarrass Xie Huchen, but he didn't expect to be dissolved by Xie Huchen's simple words, and his expression was slightly surprised.

But that's not the topic of the day.

Zhuang Menglong took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and said: "Okay, all my colleagues are gathered together today, and I am also the first acquaintance with you. ”

Xie Huchen thought to himself, this was all an appetizer just now, and now it can be regarded as a main meal.

The other magistrates present began to talk about it, nothing more than some painless things, adding fuel and vinegar to show that they were governing the county well, and they all kept their mouths shut about this dark account.

At this time, Xie Huchen saw that the other magistrates also had their own ghosts, coping with Zhuang Menglong, and did not hand over the secret accounts, it seemed that they all wanted to fill their pockets.

Come to think of it, if you have paid all the dark debts, today's meeting will not be necessary.

Xie Huchen also kept silent at this time, and became a bystander on the side, he wanted to see how Zhuang Menglong made a move.

"Master Zhang, I heard rumors that there are workers in your county who repair the river to make trouble, what is the reason?" Zhuang Menglong didn't raise his eyelids, and suddenly changed his words.

One of the magistrates present immediately panicked, and hurriedly got up and said, "Go back to your lordship, this is all a rumor spread by someone, and your lord knows it...... When the last Zhizhou Lord Jin was in office, he levied taxes and oppressed the people, and his subordinates had long been unaccustomed to it, but now that the Lord is in charge of Jiangzhou, I will definitely follow Lord Zhuang and do it loyally. ”

"Master Hu, I heard that you married Concubine Fang a few days ago, where is the girl?" Zhuang Menglong asked again.

Another magistrate hurriedly stood up and said, "Lord Zhuang, this ...... This is all nonsense, and the subordinates also remembered that there was a report, the former Zhizhou Lord Jin left an account in Xiaguan, and the subordinates also brought it this time, and they were preparing to dedicate it to Lord Zhuang. ”

Zhuang Menglong nodded with satisfaction, and said, "What, other adults, do you want me to continue?"

The rest of the magistrates immediately panicked and rushed to give the account book.

Xie Huchen couldn't help but laugh secretly in his heart on the side, these people already had a handle in Zhuang Menglong's hands, it seems that this Lord Zhuang is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.

Compared with these people, Xie Huchen sat calmly on the side at the moment, but he looked a little out of place.

This awkward and slightly funny meeting passed like this, Zhuang Menglong harvested nine sets of secret accounts, but the one in Xie Huchen's hand was missing, maybe he didn't know that Xie Huchen had this set of secret accounts in his hand.

After all, the people he sent to Yizhou were all in vain, how could he calculate that Xie Huchen had already made a move.

But at least Xie Huchen saw one thing clearly, this Zhuang Menglong City Mansion is extremely deep, and if he wants to dig out clues from him and follow the vine to Chen Jing, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort.

And at this moment, Zhuang Menglong's heart also has his own calculations.

"My lord, when we meet today, do you think Xie Zhi County of Yi County will take refuge in you and do things for us?" asked Huang Yibai.

"What do you think?" Zhuang Menglong smiled slyly.

"The subordinates saw that this Lord Xie was just a literati, just a sour person, where could he fight the adult, and the last time I went to see him, he also replied that he would find out the matter of this secret account and report it to the adult. Huang Yibai replied.

"I don't think he's simple, although the prince doesn't have any official position, but after all, he is a cronie of the future Son of Heaven, how many people covet it, but he treats it as a mustard, and comes to Yi County to be the magistrate of this county. If you are young and have such a mind, how can you be a person who is willing to be subordinate?" Zhuang Menglong said thoroughly.

"What my lord said is very true, then what should we do with him next, if he is not from our side, it will be very troublesome. Huang Yibai said worriedly.

"It doesn't matter, after all, he is still a young man, it is normal to be arrogant, plus the epidemic that has lasted for several months, I think that the secret account is not in his hands, we will step up the search first, as for him, let's observe for a while. Zhuang Menglong said.

"Your Excellency. Huang Yibai flattered.

"Taishi Chen sent me to Jiangzhou, hoping that we can grasp Cao Xiangui's power in Jiangzhou as soon as possible, and then fully grasp the tax dark account system of the left road in Jiangnan. Zhuang Menglong said thoughtfully.

"Tang Jian, my subordinates heard that he was Cao Xiangui's nephew. Huang Yibai replied.

"That's right, as Cao Xiangui's nephew, he was not implicated in the Cao case, and he still controls the military and political power on the left side of Jiangnan, this person should not be underestimated. Zhuang Menglong said.

Early the next morning, Xie Huchen took Wang Da and Wang Xiaoer to Yu's house.

When the two brothers saw Yu Chong, they were grateful to Dade, grateful, grateful, and grateful, and gave Yu Zhong a whole circle.

A few people were chatting energetically, and Yu Feiyan walked in.

"Ah, isn't this the eldest lady who helped us on the street yesterday. Wang Da exclaimed in surprise.

"Yo, it's you. Feiyan laughed.

"Feiyan, are you nosy again?" Yu Zhong still knows what kind of character his sister is.

"The eldest lady is the same as Yu Shaoxia, they are both chivalrous and courageous, hehe, our brothers have received so much kindness from your Yu family, and we can't repay it in this life. Wang Xiaoer replied.

"You two should follow the dust well, and you should thank me. Yu Zhong said.

The two brothers said yes again and again.

"We'll leave Huiyi County in a while, after all, there are still many things in the county waiting for me to go back and deal with. Xie Huchen said.

"Feiyan and I will give you a ride in a moment. Yu Zhong said.

"Brother Yu, please stay, this Jiangzhou's new governor Zhuang Menglong has a lot of city government, I estimate that you will meet him sooner or later, you should pay a little attention." Xie Huchen replied.

"Don't worry, I'll help you keep an eye on this Zhuang Menglong in Jiangzhou, it seems that we are really a treasure here, and there are some not simple characters here." Yu Zhong quipped.

Xie Huchen and the others said goodbye to Yu Zhong and returned to Yixian.

This time he came to Jiangzhou, it can be said that Zhuang Menglong was temporarily stabilized, and I think he would not trouble Xie Huchen for a while.

But he received nine sets of secret accounts, and now only Xie Huchen is left with this set, and he can't hide it for long, and he will know sooner or later.

Compared with the entire set of tax dark account system left by Cao Xiangui, this set of account books in Xie Huchen's hand is just a drop in the ocean, but if it is used for fishing, it should also be a good bait.

Xie Huchen already had a plan in mind at this time, he wanted to make good use of this bait and catch a few big fish.
