1048. The Elevated Bailihou

Ding Tongfu naturally knew what Li Pojun was doing when he came to him, so he immediately didn't wait for Li Pojun to answer, and bowed straight and said: "Your Highness Mingjian, the matter of the Xue family is really irrelevant to the officials, it is all because the county lieutenant Zheng Tong coveted the Xue family's family business, and sought the Xue family's ferry business with the Hu family in Fenhewan, so he framed Xue Xiong, and the officials were also powerless."

said that Ding Tongfu was also aggrieved and sad.

Li Pojun raised his eyebrows and asked directly: "Ding County is the Marquis of Baili here, and the county is respected, how can he not manage a county lieutenant?" ”

The county order is in charge of the land of 100 miles, and it is the leader who is respected alone in the county, so it is also commonly known as the Baili Hou, and the county is respected. Although "Bailihou" belongs to grassroots cadres, it is the foundation on which the country depends for its livelihood - Gai Qi is not only to implement the central government's principles and policies, laws and regulations; The "first person responsible" to ensure the completion of the annual collection of money and grain taxes and the maintenance of local public order and political stability, and the direct "four people" (i.e., managers, farmers, industrialists, and merchants) are the "parent officials" of the local people, and they are also the largest officials that the local people can see, so generally speaking, in a county, the county order is the largest.

Ding Tongfu was even more bitter when he heard this, and said sadly: "Xia Guan was born poor, fortunately in the world of great governance, the sage Mingde, and was able to be awarded the imperial examination, and as a foreigner, the Zheng family is a local wealthy family, but they don't take Xia Guan seriously." The talents of the lower officials are lacking, so that the power in the county is controlled, and they are ashamed, and the county order of the lower officials is just an empty shelf."

Li Pojun was also moved when he heard it, although he had already expected this to be the case, listening to Ding Tongfu's crying, it seemed that the situation in Longmen was more complicated than he imagined.

Liu Zhi on the side was also quite unnatural when he heard this, although he held his head high and his face was expressionless, but his heart was also empty, he was the main book, and the county lieutenant Yiwu Yiwen assisted the county order to govern a county, and now the county order was set aside, if he Liu Zhushu did not participate, it was unbelievable.

Liu Zhi has been friends with the Xue family since he became the master of Longmen, and the officials and businessmen colluded, although he did not do any bad things that hurt nature and reason, and violated the law and discipline, but there are many people who secretly use power for personal gain, just like Zheng Tong colluded with the Hu family, they are all supported by their own money bags, as for the foreign Ding County Order, I am sorry, I am sorry, I have to be helpless when I look at the two assistants of Yiwen and Wuwu, and you have to be helpless.

Li Pojun also glanced at Liu Zhi inadvertently, and he could guess a rough idea, because Xue Xiantu said that Liu Zhi and Xue Xiong often correspond, an official, a businessman, and if there is nothing to do with each other, it is a ghost.

After pondering for a moment, Li Pojun looked at Liu Zhi and said directly: "Master Liu, take my order, go to the prison to raise Xue Xiong, unseal the Xue Mansion, and tomorrow, I will rest in the Xue Mansion." After saying that, he looked at Er Xue again, "The two brothers led the troops together."

Xue Rengui and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, and they went out with Liu Zhi.

Li Pojun is not only the crown prince of the dynasty, but also a pacifying envoy, bailing out a suspect who has not yet been convicted from a county, it is very easy, in this small dragon gate, no one dares to disobey.

After Liu Zhi left, Li Pojun got up and walked to Ding Tongfu and helped him to take a seat, "Ding Xianzun has been wronged, don't worry, since I met him this time, I will definitely return Longmen to a bright future."

Although this Ding Tongfu is said to be mediocre in ability, but there is no problem with a heart, this is a typical Confucian scholar, reading sage books and sages has poetry and books, and there is no problem with a heart for the country and the people, but the specific work is a lack of ability, Li Pojun can't blame him, because it is not easy for a poor scholar to come out of the imperial examination, and being able to be admitted to the imperial examination shows that this person is smart and educated, as long as he has a heart, he is not afraid of no ability, Li Pojun believes that a person like Ding Tongfu can only give him a stage and give him space and time to grow. It is not impossible to become a good official with both talent and morality.

Ding Tongfu, who was born in poverty, is at least more reliable than those children of a family, as can be seen by looking at the white official robe on his body.

Hearing Li Pojun's words, Ding Tongfu was grateful and thankful, but he couldn't help but be a little worried, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince patted Zheng Tong down and walked away, wouldn't he be unlucky in the end, you must know that although Zheng Tong will fall, but there is still the Zheng family behind it, the Zheng family in Longmen, and even the Zheng family in Jiangzhou, and even the unreachable Xingyang Zheng family, none of which can be resisted by Ding Tongfu, a poor county commander.

Li Pojun saw that his eyes were worried, and he also smiled and said: "Ding Xianzun, give you a task, cooperate with Jingyang, and thoroughly investigate the Zheng family together, I want all the evidence of the Zheng family's violations of law and discipline, and before I leave in three days, I will definitely eradicate this cancer for the people of Longmen."

Ding Tongfu heard this, his eyes widened, he couldn't believe it, until Li Zhen on the side stepped forward to greet him and said something like asking Ding Xianzun to cooperate, Ding Tongfu reacted, the old tears were ruffled, and he directly bowed to his clothes: "Your Highness is wise, and the officials thank Your Highness for your great grace for the people of Longmen."

Li Pojun smiled and waved his hand, let them go down, Li Zhen went to discuss the matter with Ding Tongfu to verify, there are only three days, they have to hurry, at least they can't rest before the time comes, Li Pojun just arranged, just go to sleep.

However, Li Pojun gradually fell asleep, but there was an undercurrent surging outside.

In the east of the city, Zheng Mansion, this is a mansion that is several times larger and more luxurious than Xue Mansion, covering a wide area, at this time, the backyard of Zheng Mansion, in the study of a small courtyard with an elegant environment.

Zheng Tong knelt and sat at the bottom, not daring to raise his head, the top was an old man with white hair, about sixty years old, it was the old lady of Zheng Mansion, even if the old lady cultivated his self-cultivation and was not easy to be angry, but at this time, he looked at his son with anger in his eyes, and shouted with hatred: "Since you have sent him to prison, why don't you deal with him as soon as possible, what great thing can you achieve by procrastination and trampling to this day." If it is solved as soon as possible, there will be no proof of death at that time, even if he Xue Dalang comes back, it is better now, as long as Xue Xiong is released from prison, how will you end up? ”

Zheng Tong is over forty years old, tall and strong, his appearance is quite majestic, and his chin and beard are even more vigorous, but in front of the old man, he bows his head and does not dare to be presumptuous.

Hearing the old man's reprimand, Zheng Tong hurriedly said: "Father, don't worry, when I come back, I will let Ying'er go to the prison to solve that Xue Xiong, I expect that at this time, Xue Xiong has become a dead body." Although there are many people who know about this matter, as soon as Xue Xiong dies, there is no evidence at all, that is, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to stand up for the Xue family, and he can't help us." Zheng Tong explained quite confidently.
