The night was already dark, and the half-crescent moon rose from the eastern sky, hiding in the treetops to probe his brain. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe stars in the sky are shining, and pearls are like filling the canopy, and a heavenly river runs through it in the middle.

The wind blows from the Yellow River, with coolness, with the smell of earth, wafting on the land on the banks of the Yellow River.

Li Shen raised his head, inhaled a breath of wind from the Yellow River into his stomach deeply, and looked at the starry sky. He stood in the courtyard of the Three Emperors Temple, under the ginkgo tree covered with silver radiance, and did not move for a long time.

Enyin entered the office, and his parents went early, and the difficulties encountered in the officialdom were incomprehensible to people like Xu Ping. The setbacks encountered by Xu Ping are not worth mentioning here at all. He started as a county magistrate, struggled for more than ten years, almost never made any mistakes, and made outstanding political achievements, so that he could achieve his current position as a general judge. As soon as Xu Ping came out, he was appointed as a general judge, and he served two terms for six years, and then he was promoted rapidly, and he was already ranked as an attendant in his twenties.

There are 10,000 civil and military officials in the Great Song Dynasty, how many people can be attendants? Li Shen didn't dare to think that he would be able to have such a day. But he never gave up hope, and still moved forward step by step.

When he was appointed as the commander of Yanshan County, he opened a warehouse to release grain, mobilized large households to help him, distributed chaff to the poor, and saved many people's lives, which was the beginning of his start in officialdom. Disaster relief is not as good as disaster prevention, and it is based on this understanding that after many years of thinking and practice, Li Shen launched the Seedlings Loan. Including Li Di, who sentenced Mengzhou, they all admired his initiative and actively supported it. Unexpectedly, he hit a nail here in Xu Ping.

Li Shen could feel Xu Ping's attitude just now, and Xu Ping did not agree with the Qingmiao loan from his heart, thinking that it would basically not play a role. All arrangements are made with the aim of not producing bad consequences for the Seedlings Loan.

Are you really wrong? Or was it because of the coincidence that Xu Ping encountered something in the disaster year? But wasn't the original intention of the first introduction of the Epimeter Loan to prevent disasters?

Li Shen closed his eyes, only feeling like a numb heart.

Anyway, let's do what Xu Ping tells first. Not to mention the duty of inspecting the local area with the patrol of the river, the identity of the deputy envoy of the third division of salt and iron alone makes the current Li Shen have to do this. The misappropriation of money-saving materials, strictly speaking, is the misappropriation of the money and grain stored in the local area by the Third Division, and the matter can be big or small, and the fate of Li Shen in the officialdom has been pinched in the hands of the Third Division. Xu Ping is under the three divisions and one person, what can Li Shen do?

Xu Ping didn't bother with this matter, and now it is clear that the process is not complicated. In order to prevent disasters, Li Shen issued a loan to the local government, and Jiang Dayou, as the protector, was unwilling to lose his money in vain because the people had fled, so he asked his subordinates to pretend to be the public officials of Heyin County and go around to arrest the fleeing farmers in other places according to the convenience of the previous practice. In the end, who is right and who is wrong Xu Ping doesn't want to know, and most things in the world can't tell right from wrong, as long as Li Shen clarifies the situation in Heyin County, don't delay the opening of the canal after the autumn.

As for the previous matter, find out which one is a traitor and a criminal department, and the law is in violation of discipline, and if you should catch it, you will hit the board, if you are fined and confiscated property, if you confiscate your property, if you confiscate the army, if you kill the head, you will kill the head. That's the end of the matter, nothing else.

Li Shen can call the shots in all this, Li Di will not pull his hands, even the Criminal Department and the Transshipment Department only have the responsibility of supervision. People are here, and it should be done cleanly.

Early the next morning, Xu Ping got up to wash, and as soon as he left the door, he saw Li Shen standing outside the door.

After saluting and greeting, Li Shen asked, "To be systematized, I don't know what to order this year?" ”

Xu Ping said: "After breakfast in a while, I will take someone to inspect the river." You stay in the Three Emperors Temple, I will send a few people to you, today I will first interrogate the fugitive Sun Fengnian's family brought on the road and the three people who pretended to be the public, and remember the confession. What the hell is going on, we have to find out. - By the way, don't be embarrassed by the people surnamed Sun, it's not a last resort, who will leave their hometown? They are all poor people. ”

"I remember."

After instructing Li Shen, Xu Ping went to have breakfast, and after breakfast, he took Lu Fang and others to the Yellow River, continued to survey the rivers along the way, and found out the actual situation.

Seeing off Xu Ping and his entourage, Li Shen called an entourage and said to him: "You go to the county office, see what happened to Yao County's order today, and come back to report to me." By the way, by the way, tell him that in the future, let him write a letter to me every day about the affairs in the yamen. ”

The entourage promised, turned around and walked out of the temple gate, and went to the county seat not far away.

As Yao Zeguang's top boss, not to mention that Xu Ping is here, it's just himself, Yao Zeguang should also get up early every day to ask for instructions. This Xu Ping has already gone out, and there is no shadow of Yao Zeguang yet, and Li Shen is very dissatisfied in his heart.

After all the orders, Li Shen sighed and said to the Mengzhou officials brought by him: "Go and move a table and a few chairs, and mention Sun Fengnian's family!" ”

The public official should have crossed hands, someone went to move tables and chairs, and separated the two of them with the bridge and road army left by Xu Ping, and went to the side room next to them to bring Sun Fengnian and his wife and Sun Erlang out.

Sun Fengnian returned to Heyin County with Xu Ping and his entourage, and entertained his family with food and drink every day, but no one came to ask a word, so it was inevitable that he would feel uneasy. When I heard someone shouting for me to question, I was even more frightened.

When I arrived at the ginkgo tree in the courtyard, I saw an official in his thirties and forties sitting on a chair behind a desk, and a table was placed diagonally next to him, and someone was sitting there holding a pen and paper. There were five or six people standing on the other side, and at first glance they were the public servants in the yamen, and they all looked vicious.

Sun Fengnian stepped forward tremblingly, and someone from the public standing on the side shouted: "When you see the general judge of this state, don't hurry up and salute!" ”

Sun Fengnian shuddered, stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and saluted: "Xiaomin Sun Fengnian, I have seen the judge." ”

Li Shen looked at him and said in a deep voice: "You are Sun Fengnian, a Heyin resident who fled with his family?" Get up and speak. ”

Sun Fengnian thanked him, stood up, stood with his family, and looked carefully at the judge behind the table.

Mengzhou, because it is too close to Xijing Henan Mansion, often has ministers from the court to come to be the governor, and at this time, the civil affairs in the state are decided by the general judge. As a common person here, Sun Fengnian was not surprised, knowing that the official in front of him was the biggest official in the state, and he was in charge of the life and death of these small people.

Li Shen coughed lightly and asked in a deep voice, "Sun Fengnian, why did you flee with your family?" But he borrowed a loan from the government and was unable to repay it due to a disaster, so he fled to avoid debts? ”

Hearing this, Sun Fengnian's eyes widened suddenly, and he said loudly: "Official, what kind of green seedling loan, the little one has never heard of it!" My family moved because it was hard to live here because the harvest was not good this year. Listening to the boaters in the Yellow River, Kaifeng Mansion is short of manpower, and there are camp and field affairs to recruit people, go there to ask for a way to live! (To be continued.) )
