Fan Jingwen has always been very strong, but this time he didn't speak, didn't explain and justify, and didn't intercede for Liu Zeqing and others, he has been silently watching Su Tiancheng deal with everything, maybe in his heart, he is already thinking about what to do as an official, what to do.

Following Su Tiancheng into Haiyan County, looking at the sergeant of the Inspection Division who was captured by the Jiangning battalion, Fan Jingwen's face still had no expression. Su Tiancheng's words, he is very clear, the spearhead is not only pointed at the local government in Zhejiang, but also directly at the imperial court, remember that when the Liukou was exterminated, the imperial court's army was also unscrupulous, exploiting the people, killing good and risking merit, doing everything, the imperial court is a little indifferent to such a thing, in the final analysis, the imperial court pays attention to the elimination of opponents, and does not pay attention to the interests of the people at all.

Su Tiancheng practiced and put the interests of the people in a very high position, which Fan Jingwen did not expect, sometimes, the so-called urgent power, the outline of the flexible, is not impossible, as long as the compensation is done afterwards, it is enough, but Su Tiancheng's insistence makes the terrible feeling in Fan Jingwen's heart more and more clear, the so-called winner of the people's hearts wins the world, the indifference of the court and Su Tiancheng's attention, the contrast between the two is too obvious, does this mean that the world will be occupied by Su Tiancheng, Ordinary people can really live a good life.

Fan Jingwen has to have such an idea, if Su Tiancheng practices it, he really cares about the interests of the people and the prosperity of the country, what is wrong with such a person to rule the world, the prosperous Tang Dynasty of the year, Li Yuan and Li Shimin's father and son, didn't they also get the world through rebellion.

Entered the lobby of the county office. The county and the lord Bo and others were all caught, but the county governor fled, and before the Jiangning battalion attacked, he fled to Jiaxing Fucheng.

The dignified magistrate was not able to lead the sergeants to resist, but fled first. This made Fan Jingwen very embarrassed.

An unusual interrogation began, and Su Tiancheng was personally responsible for the interrogation.

First of all, it needs to be clear that the county magistrate fled, the county Cheng and the lord Bo Weilu did not have time to escape, the answer was somewhat unexpected, it turned out that the county Cheng and the lord Bo both had concubines in the county, because they wanted to escape with the concubines, so they delayed time, and they received the news that the Jiangning battalion attacked the county seat. It didn't take long, thinking that there would be a certain amount of resistance time, enough for them to escape, but they didn't expect that the Jiangning battalion's movements were too fast, so they didn't have time to escape.

When the soldiers caught them, they seized several bags of fine soft, and found a lot of gold and silver, as well as some valuable jewelry, and so on. According to the income of the county and the lord, it is impossible to save this amount of gold and silver. And both of them have concubines, so they should be unable to make ends meet.

Su Tiancheng asked about the origin of these gold, silver and jewelry, and the county lord and the lord bowed their heads and refused to say anything.

At this time, Fan Jingwen stood up and disclosed his identity. Ask the county and the lord to tell the truth.

Hearing Fan Jingwen indicate his identity, the bodies of the county and the lord began to tremble, and this time the two of them did not hold on for long, and quickly knelt down, saying that these gold and silver jewelry and so on. They were all sent by Liu Zeqing, and more were sent to the magistrates, and what they got was only a small amount.

Su Tiancheng did not let the two of them go easily, and continued to ask the two of them, how much gold and silver treasures Liu Zeqing sent, why did he send these gold and silver treasures, who got the gold and silver treasures, and so on.

The latter complaint is much simpler, Liu Zeqing sent gold, silver and jewelry, the main purpose is to let the local people ignore the demands of the people, not only do not care about the people's demands, but also help suppress them, because this is an order of the imperial court, the army needs to levy food and wages, and the traitors need to be exterminated, and the people should actively support it, as long as there are people to complain, it must be in collusion with the anti-thieves, it is against the imperial court, it is a chaotic party, and it must be arrested and put in prison.

Of course, the county government did it in accordance with Liu Zeqing's requirements, in fact, not only the county government, but also the state government and the government government, and the common people should not think about the matter of filing a complaint at all, as for the matter of insulting the women in the family, the light ones ignore such things, and the heavy ones say that the women do not abide by the women's way and collude with the sergeants, which is a crime that should be killed.

After such treatment, who dares to complain, even those gentry and rich households, do not dare to speak, of course, some rich and powerful gentry and rich households, there is no problem, they either have family members in the capital as officials, or have a certain amount of power, will not suffer any damage, the loss is still ordinary people, businessmen and rich households.

After speaking of this, Su Tian's cost can not be asked, his purpose has been achieved, through the property carried by the county and the lord, Su Tiancheng still has a lot of doubts, to say that Jiaxing, Huzhou and Hangzhou are the three prefectures, there are many states and counties under their jurisdiction, can it be said that Liu Zeqing is so generous, and the lord of the county government is so much gold and silver jewelry, this is inevitably a little unreasonable, Liu Zeqing's starting point is to let the local people go together, then you only need to focus on making friends with the chief officials of Fuzhou and county, and the rest of the meaning, But the property owned by the county and the lord is obviously wrong.

At this time, the soldier who was in charge of searching the residence of the county magistrate brought three large boxes.

After opening the box, it was full of gold, silver and jewelry, and at first estimate, it was worth more than 100,000 taels of silver.

Seeing these three boxes of jewelry, Su Tiancheng understood, he began to continue to ask, this time he asked very carefully, how many gold, silver and jewelry did Liu Zeqing send someone, how many times did they send and so on.

The spirit of the county and the lord Bo has collapsed, and they soon began to tell the truth, it turned out that Liu Zeqing did not send much gold, silver and jewelry, and it fell on the heads of the county and the lord Bo, it was nothing at all, these gold and silver jewelry were all accumulated by them on weekdays, and the implication was that they were obtained by corruption.

The soldiers who searched the residence of the county lord and the lord also came to the lobby, and they found some silver, silk and other things, which were of great value.

In the process of Su Tiancheng's questioning, Fan Jingwen's face gradually turned the color of pig liver, every time Su Tiancheng asked, it seemed to be aimed at him, a small county and the lord, the officials of the eighth and ninth grades, can be so corrupt and pervert the law, think about what it will look like, and then think about it, for what Liukou made a rebellion a few years ago, for what the repeated failures of the imperial court, for what huge place, can only rely on the Jiangning battalion to exterminate the Liukou and defeat the Houjin Tartars, all the answers are about to come out, It turns out that the court he Fan Jingwen supported has become like this below, which can be said to be rotten to the root, if a large-scale purge and rectification is not carried out, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty will not have the possibility of being strong.

Fan Jingwen understands one thing better, that is, the spread of party struggle in the imperial court, this kind of party struggle has become more and more mature, and has developed to the point where it is almost uncontrollable, Fan Jingwen is a native of Wuqiao, Hejian Prefecture, Beizhili, and most of the officials in the imperial court are from the south, which is also because the students in the south are generally more powerful, and there are more people who can stand out from the imperial examination. In this way, officials and families support each other and grow stronger, and in order to be able to hold power for a long time, they have to form their own factions and protect their own rights and interests, which has led to more and more fierce party struggles.

The power of the southern family is very huge, almost to the point where it cannot be solved, in the early years of Chongzhen, the north suffered a large-scale drought and flood disaster, countless deaths, the court once wanted to let the south come to relief, but such a request was vetoed by many southern ministers in the court, they can control the government, they have to protect their own interests, as for the rise and fall of the country, that is the next thing they consider.

Fan Jingwen knows these situations, and Su Tiancheng must also be clear.

If Su Tiancheng wants to protect the interests of the people, it will inevitably touch the interests of these big families, and it is impossible to take into account the two completely.

Fan Jingwen knew that what Su Tiancheng insisted on was correct no matter what level it was, and it really became a problem to overthrow these correct things and maintain the decaying and declining imperial court.

After the end of the inquiry, Su Tiancheng asked that all the confiscated gold, silver, jewelry and other things be registered and stored in the treasury, and no one was allowed to touch them, these are the property of the people of Haiyan County, taken from the people for the people, and now it is the time when the green and yellow are not accepted, after the exploitation of the government and Liu Zeqing's tossing, I don't know how many people in Ludao can't survive, these gold, silver and jewelry must be used to relieve the people, and the Jiangning camp will also take out a part of the grain to help the people on a large scale.

After arranging all these things, Su Tiancheng is going to start arranging big things, that is, to exterminate the 100,000 army led by Liu Zeqing, which is not something to talk about casually.

Su Tiancheng did not ask Fan Jingwen and others to recuse themselves, but Fan Jingwen took the initiative to leave the lobby of the county government, this is the core matter of the Jiangning Camp to discuss, he is not Su Tiancheng's person, he represents the imperial court, it is not appropriate to listen here, Yan Zizhang followed him away, but Wu Weiye stayed and did not leave.

Su Tiancheng smiled and patted Wu Weiye on the shoulder, he knew that Wu Weiye had made a choice with practical actions, in the end, it was the temple test of Tanhua, after being tempered in the imperial court and Shaanxi, the understanding was different. (To be continued......)
