Throughout the ages, the official word has two mouths, even if it is a small servant, it has great power.

Although it is difficult to provoke the powerful, in a small Qingming County, how can many people dare not dare to become officials because of the situation of the powerful?

Hua Lang looked at **, his face was puzzled, and ** seemed to see Hua Lang's doubts, so he hurriedly explained: "We have three powerful people in Qingming County, these three powerful people are fighting all day long, our county government is caught in it, it is really embarrassing, they sue the powerful man today, and the powerful person sues the powerful man tomorrow, our official catches it not, and if it is not, it is not caught by the head-on, and it immediately provokes the magnate, and the other magnate is watching the excitement from the sidelines, It's hard for us to be a servant here! ”

After saying this, he couldn't help but sigh, and after Hua Lang listened to these words, he more or less had some understanding, and these understandings made him feel that these powerful people in Qingming County were really hateful, and they were the reason why the officials of Qingming County were not enough.

And Hua Lang felt that if he wanted the county government of Qingming County to be able to normalize and prevent the prison escape from happening again, it was important to find a way to let those powerful people know a little restraint.

Therefore, Hua Lang asked: "I don't know that the three powerful people in Qingming County are all those three powerful people, how can they become powerful people?" ”

**Seeing Hua Lang ask about this, he guessed Hua Lang's intentions, and after guessing it, he was quite happy in his heart, so he hurriedly replied: "The three powerful people in Qingming County are Zhang Tongzhang's family, Longwulong's family, and Fengqingfeng's family. Long Wu Long family, this Long Wu has an elder brother, named Long Si, who is the prefect in Yangzhou, because of this relationship, the Long family is also a powerful person in our Qingming County, and it is quite powerful; And Feng Qingfeng's family, Feng Qing's sister Feng Miao is a concubine in the palace, and they are also national relatives, and it is difficult to provoke. ”

After listening to the explanation of **, Hua Lang nodded, throughout the ages, there have been many people who are fox and fake tigers, these people rely on their own power to do nonsense in Qingming County, if Hua Lang doesn't know, and if he knows, he must find a way to suppress their sharpness.

Hua Lang pondered silently, and then asked: "The powerful are only one aspect, in addition to the powerful, what is the other reason for the lack of officials in your Qingming County?" ”

** The face was very bad, and he was very helpless, and said: "I'm ashamed, although my Qingming County is a rich land, but because there are too many powerful people, and they occupy most of the industries in our Qingming County, it is extremely difficult to tax them, so my Qingming County can be regarded as a poor place. ”

Hearing that Qingming County is almost unable to get the money for the officials, Hualang is very shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, he can also understand that most of the income of the county government in ancient times was taxes, and the tax matter is very difficult to do.

Then there are the magnates, although the magnates do not have the right to tax exemption, but they are powerful, they just don't pay taxes, how can the people in the county government tolerate them?

Thinking about it, this powerless ** is really good enough to be the county magistrate in this Qingming County.

After understanding the hardships of **, Hua Lang feels that these two things can actually be said to be one thing, as long as those powerful people are suppressed, these problems will be solved, but if you want to fight these powerful people, it is not an easy thing, although Hua Lang is not afraid of these people, but in the internal affairs of Qingming County, it is not easy for a person like him to interfere with such a person without official rank, unless those people are involved, Hua Lang can use the power given to him by the emperor.

None of these problems can be solved overnight, so Hua Lang is not in a hurry, and the most important thing now is to catch the two escaped fugitives, and after catching them, Hua Lang can come up with several ways to teach those powerful people a lesson.

After understanding these things in Qingming County, Hua Lang stood up and said: "I will find a way to solve these things that Lord Liu said, now we will solve the fugitive's matter first, and the search cannot be relaxed for a moment, let's go to investigate Lu Dan's killing of Zhang Yu first, I think if we can return Lu Dan's innocence, he should surrender." ”

** didn't agree with what Hua Lang said, but he didn't dare to say anything else, just nodded: "I hope so." ”

After separating from **, Hua Lang and Wen Mengyin walked directly to Zhang Tong's mansion, at this time the weather was unusually hot, there were not many pedestrians on the street, and occasionally they could meet a few officials on the street in the door-to-door check, they were very tired, but because of the seriousness of the situation, they did not dare to have any slack.

After Hua Lang saw them, he shook his head helplessly, looking for them in this way is tantamount to finding a needle, trying to catch those two fugitives, but I am afraid it will not be easy.

But just when Hua Lang thought that it would not be easy for these officials to catch the fugitives, there were several officials on the opposite side who were rushing to the direction of the county government with one person, and several of these people were officials from Huainan City, so they knew Hua Lang, Hua Lang saw a few of them, a little surprised, and asked, "Who is this person you arrested?" ”

"Back to the playboy, this is the Li De who escaped from prison."

When Hua Lang heard that he had caught Li De, he immediately became interested and asked, "How did you catch him?" ”

"This boy has a mother-in-law in his family, and his mother-in-law gave birth to a son, and he wants to go home to see his son, and our people are in ambush at his house, and as soon as he returns, we will catch him."

People, even if they are wicked, have an innate inseparability for family affection, although Li De is a murderer, but he has a strong love for his son, so it is normal to be arrested.

It's just such a person, but he doesn't know how to cherish it, he obviously has a family, but why would he kill others?

Many criminals do not live a peaceful life, but when they make a mistake, they wave goodbye to the peaceful life.

Things in the world are so cruel, Hua Lang sighed, and then continued to ask, "Does he know where that Lu Dan is?" ”
