"Bad harvest? Haven't heard of BIBS Loan? Listening to Sun Fengnian's words, Li Shen sneered. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "If you don't move early, don't move late, just when the Seedlings Loan is about to recover the principal and interest, who will believe it?" ”

Sun Fengnian was so anxious that his face turned red: "Official, the imperial court decree that the households must move after the crops of the current season are harvested, the taxes are paid and the division from the main family is completed, and the small ones can only be relocated at this time!" ”

"Uh-huh!" Li Shen coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, he forgot that this really shouldn't be, "So, you've never heard of Qingmiao Loan?" But when Heyin County reported to the state, most farmers borrowed one stone or two stones, so could they still make false reports! ”

"I don't know if it's small, anyway, my family hasn't taken out a loan, and the neighbors around me haven't heard of anyone taking out a loan, and the officials are aware of it!"

Seeing that what Sun Fengnian said didn't seem to be a lie, Li Shen's brows couldn't help frowning.

Although the total amount of loans in Heyin County is not much, and the total amount of money and grain is less than 500 guan stone, the coverage of a small county with only more than 1,000 households is not small. It is reasonable for Sun Fengnian to have never taken out a loan from his own family, but it is unreasonable to say that there are no relatives and neighbors, and they have not even heard of it.

Could it be that the money and grain were not lent out at all, but were swallowed by some people?

Thinking of this, Li Shen couldn't help but feel chills all over his body.

If that happens, it's a big deal. The requirement for the green seedling loan is that the county government directly lends money, and in the face of each farmer, it does not go through the hands and feet of its team. Some people swallowed it privately, but not one of the people in the county government could escape.

Thinking of the slippery nature of the county order Yao Zeguang, nine times out of ten he will push this matter to the master Zhong Hui. Zhong Hui is old and lacks energy, who knows what he will do? Anyway, he doesn't have the ability to do it himself.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the matter was serious, Li Shen put on a straight face and said to Sun Fengnian: "What you said is true?" The green seedling loan is issued by the state, which is related to hundreds of people, and they dare to tell lies and be carefully punished! ”

"In front of the officials, where does the little one dare to have half a lie? If you don't believe me, go to the small village and ask! ”

"I will!" Li Shen's face sank like water, and he said heavily.

At this point, it is no longer interesting to ask further, Li Shen has long been clear about the disaster situation in Heyin County, and he doesn't need to know anything from Sun Fengnian's mouth.

Waving his hand to bring Sun Fengnian's family back, Li Shen asked the entourage who came back from the county government in a deep voice: "You go to the county government today, what is Yao County Ling busy with?" ”

"Back to the officials, there have been big insects in the Guangwu Mountain area of the county that have hurt people during the day recently, and Yao County ordered people to check it out. He said that this is a major matter of human life, and there is no delay at all, and when he returns, he will be sentenced here to ask for guilt. ”

Li Shen sneered and ignored Yao Zeguang again. What kind of big insects hurt people, this kind of shadowless thing is **** in Heyin County, Yao Zeguang is busy running around every day. are all people who have been mixed in officialdom for so many years, where do they not know what his idea is? It's nothing more than letting yourself not be idle for a moment, and hiding more important things from the past.

The more Yao Zeguang was like this, the more Li Shen believed that there must be some major malpractices in Heyin County, and everyone hid it and didn't dare to let it know. As an official, if he is played like this by his subordinate officials, what future do you want in the officialdom? As the responsibility of supervising the officials under his rule, Yao Zeguang's accident and Li Shen will also be implicated.

After thinking for a while, Li Shen said to his entourage: "Bring those three fake dukes up!" Go, borrow a few boards from the bridge and road army to be made by Xu, and wait for the order on the side! ”

Follow the promise and go your separate ways.

The Qiaodao Xiang Army is an army formation, and it comes out with a military staff, ready to punish those who break the law. The people brought by Li Shen did not bring these torture instruments, so they had to borrow them first.

In a moment, the three of them were escorted up, and when they saw the attendants standing on both sides holding a few military staffs, their hearts trembled at first. Cane punishment is the highest punishment that the county government can use, and then you must send the prisoner to the state capital, these three people are all natives of Heyin County, and the most severe punishment they have ever seen is to beat the board, so they are naturally afraid.

Escorted to Li Shen's table, the three of them involuntarily knelt down, shouting injustice.

Li Shen slapped the table and asked sharply, "Report your name and place of origin!" ”

The man in the middle hurriedly said: "The little Pan San, the one on the left hand Li Qianyong, and the one on the right hand Gou Shilang are all native of Heyin County, born and raised. ”

Li Shen snorted: "Say, why pretend to be a public servant and go to Kaifeng Mansion to arrest good people!" ”

Pan San was stunned, rolled his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Little dare to ask, dare to ask what kind of official is above?" ”

Hearing this, the entourage around Li Shen was annoyed and shouted: "What an arrogant thief, when you get here, you dare to talk nonsense and ask the name of the official!" What you are in front of is the general judgment of this state, which is in charge of the civil affairs of Mengzhou, and you, as a citizen under your rule, don't know it in person, come on, slap your mouth! ”

As soon as the words fell, someone came over, grabbed Pan San and slapped a few mouths.

The corners of Pan San's mouth oozed blood, and when he saw that the people around him were fierce, he didn't dare to cry out, but he secretly cursed in his heart. Such a big Mengzhou, if it weren't for today's events, he would never have seen the general judgment of Zhizhou in his life, why should he know what this official looks like? If you don't ask clearly, how will he reply?

Li Shen just looked at it coldly, and waited for his palm to pass his mouth before he asked again: "Say, who made you pretend to be a public person?" What is in mind? ”

Pan San wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said aggrievedly: "The official knows that the three young people are originally public officials in the county, where did the fake come from?" went to Kaifeng Mansion to arrest people, and he received Li Zheng's pleadings, saying that the tenants in his house were illegally moved. This is against the decree of the imperial court, and the little ones naturally rush to the starry night, and it is a business to do it there! ”

"Business? You say it's business, it's business? Li Shen sneered again and again, "Since it's official business, take the documents from the county yamen and look at it, if there is half a fraud, hum-"

Pan San was a little confused: "I don't know what kind of document the official said?" The little ones came from a poor background and grew up to be illiterate, but the village scrivener told us what was written in the main script, so they rushed away. ”

Hearing this, Li Shen frowned: "Office affairs, didn't you go through the county office?" It's just a township scrivener, and then what kind of pleadings do you have, so you go through the state and county to get people? ”

Pan San straightened his chest and said with some pride: "Report to the official, the little one is now in front of the elders of his hometown, and it is a small matter to chase and flee with thieves." There is such an unlaw-abiding thing in the township, so naturally go and get it in the starry night! ”

"What a mess!" Li Shen slapped the table suddenly, "An elder, with two village warriors, dares to go to other states and counties to get people, and dares to say that he is a public man!" How can there be such rules in the world?! ”

Pan San was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "Official, we have always been like this here. There is chaos in the township, and it is all a few of us elders who arrest people and do the affairs of the official family, and we also have our name in the yamen, of course, we are public people! ”

Li Shen looked at Pan San, who had a serious face, and only felt that his head was as big as a fight.

In the county government, although the three titles of public servant, official and messenger are sometimes confused, most of the time they are still distinct. Most of the officials are organized, and Yueyue leads Yulu and has a higher status. The public servants go to the county government to serve on errands, and there is no money, but they do do public affairs, such as the front of the ya. Just this year, because the battle in front of the Yaqian was too heavy, and he had served one or two terms without committing a crime, he could be turned into a general of the third division and become a public official. The errand is only a temporary errand, and the actual identity is the people, and he can only assist the officials and the public to do things, which is the case with Pan San.

Here in Heyin County, because the people are strong and the officials are weak, what public officials usually don't care about things at all, but just accompany the county order Yao Ze Guangdong Township to Xixiang every day, either looking for pigs or chickens, and don't care about any serious things. If something happens to the people, unless it is a big case such as a life lawsuit, it is a few elders who have arrested people and sent them down themselves.

has been like this for many years, Pan San naturally thinks that this is the case all over the world, his words are much more effective than the people in the yamen, and he still looks down on those people from his heart.

The three giants in the countryside, Li Zheng, the township scrivener and the elder, because Li Zheng is responsible for urging the department to pay taxes, is actually a guarantor of the tax payment of the households under his rule, and others have to go out of his house if they do not pay taxes, so they are heavy labor. One of the township scriveners and elders is in charge of the uploading and issuing of court decrees, persuading farmers and mulberries, and the other is in charge of public security, which is relatively easy and powerful.

Regardless of the affairs of the countryside in Heyin County, naturally all affairs are discussed by the three giants. Pan Sanxing discussed it with Li Zheng and the township scrivener before, and felt that he had received a holy decree, why was it not a public office?

I couldn't tell these small people clearly, and the power of the county government couldn't be counted on, and the more Li Shen thought about it, the more annoyed he felt. Relying on himself alone, as well as these entourages, it is impossible to figure out what is going on here. Xu Ping brought a lot of people, but they were busy on the Yellow River beach every day, and they were in the army, and they were not easy on civil affairs.

After thinking about it, Li Shen said to the entourage beside him: "You rushed back to Mengzhou in the starry night today, told the governor of the state, and asked the state's record officer to join the army and bring his right-hand man to come over and handle the case with me." The affairs in the state, for the time being, will be handed over to Lu to judge, and he will be in charge of everything, and he will send someone here to ask me about major matters. ”

The retinue bowed and promised.

Li Shen said again: "Make it clear to Chen Lushen, the matter here is urgent, let him put down all the things in his hands, and bring someone to hurry up tomorrow." -- Xu Beizhi will not stay in Heyin County all the time, and he must handle the matter properly before he leaves, otherwise the matter will be reported, whether it is the supervisor of Jingxi Road or the imperial court, we will not be able to say.
