Cheng Dong felt that his eyelids suddenly jumped, and he was a little panicked, as if he was blocking something.

I opened the window and breathed a sigh of relief, but the uneasiness in my heart grew stronger.

At this time, he heard some noise on the street, so when he walked out of the door, he saw more than a dozen gorgeously decorated carriages, which were high-quality horses or even war horses, slowly running over the streets of Dayang County.

"Whose son-in-law is this?" Cheng Dong asked the people of his own house at the door. On the eastern boundary of the river, the Chehou family gathered, therefore, there were often disciples of the Chehou family who were ordered by the elders of the family to come to Dayang County to worship the gods and sages of the Temple of the Son of Heaven.

It's just that this pomp is too big, right?

More than a dozen carriages, each of which is pulled by a tall head, just these dozen carriages, few of the Chehou in Hedong today can get together.

Not to mention the chauffeurs, each of them was a strong man, and the attendants who escorted the convoy were all fully armed, with a sword at their waists, a longbow and quiver on their backs, and a small group of knights followed the convoy to protect them.

Today, there are only a few people in the Chehou family who can make up this kind of battle, and they can still swagger through the market.

The Pingyang Hou family in this county may be one of them.

But if the Marquis of Pingyang wants to come to Dayang, the official document of the county guard should have arrived in advance!

"Back to the Lord, it is said that it is a high-ranking dignitary from Chang'an!" The next person replied.

"Damn it!" Cheng Dong touched his forehead: "No wonder I've been uneasy recently, it turns out that I want to break the bank!" ”

So he commanded, "Go and find out what this son is doing." Find a place for them to stay, and go and hand me a note to see the son of this family! ”

"No!" The servant nodded. Just keep up with the convoy.

"I hope nothing happens...... Cheng Dong prayed in his heart.

As the county lieutenant of Dayang County, Cheng Dong certainly knows what the current situation is in Dayang.

Once the current situation of Dayang is stabbed to the imperial court and to Chang'an, not to mention anything else, first of all, the government and the opposition will be shaken, and there will definitely be ministers who will hold the Son of Heaven Festival to investigate the matter of Dayang, once that happens. Then, it's not one or two who want to lose their heads.

Since the first emperor ascended the throne, has the head of the local heroes and officials cut off by the emperor of the Han family?

Even Chehou has fallen several times for encroaching on people's land!

Dayang's current situation. Of course Cheng Dong was afraid, and he was afraid to death!

How many times did he dream in the middle of the night that the forbidden army from Chang'an surrounded his home and dragged his family out like dogs......

However, if fear makes people obey the law. So what else do you want Tingwei to do?

Wealth is current. How many people can not be moved?

Today's Dayang, corn is 300 yuan a stone, and a new price a day, and these profits alone are enough for all the landlords to make a smile.

But just by selling rice, it is no longer enough to satisfy the landlords, powerful officials, and businessmen in Dayang County.

The real benefits are: The high price of rice forced ordinary people to sell their fields at a low price. Originally, in Dayang County, one acre of farmland could be worth at least 10,000 yuan, but now, the people can only sell it for 1,000 yuan in order to survive.

Under today's rice prices, it is equivalent to buying land worth 10,000 yuan in the past with only three stones of corn.

Not only that, but some poor people have sold out of their land, what should they do?

In order to survive, for a bite to eat, many poor peasants have become slaves of others.

And this was unthinkable in the past!

In just half a month, Cheng Dong's family bought hundreds of acres of high-quality land and more than a dozen slaves.

Cheng Dong knows this is just the beginning!

From now until next year's autumn harvest, if the imperial court does not act, then most of the peasants in Dayang County will go bankrupt!

It was a feast for the landlords and powerful merchants.

Some people even shouted the slogan of building a family that will last for thousands of years.

Waiting for the next person to leave, Cheng Dong still felt uneasy, so he stomped his foot: "If there is a leak in Dayang County, how can Taishou and the county lieutenant stay out of the matter?" ”

So, he found his eldest son Cheng Tan and said to him: "You go to lie in Anyi, go to see Taishou and the county lieutenant for your father, and inform the Taishou and the county lieutenant of the matter that there are nobles coming from Chang'an, and let them have an idea!" ”

"No!" Cheng Tan was ordered to ride the family's horse and set off in the direction of Anyi.

Dayang's current situation, can it be caused by the infighting between the county guard and the county lieutenant?

Since Zhou Yangyou became the county guard, the officialdom in Hedong has been rotten from the inside out!

Zhou Yangyou, the county guard, although he spared no effort to fight against the powerful forces, but if the sycophants were good, he could also raise his noble hand and even reuse the strong.

And the county lieutenant Shen Tu, the local snake in Hedong, and a group of local officials under his hands, are on the same page as Zhou Yangyou, an outsider.

On the surface, the two of them each pulled a group of people to fight, and they stumbled each other.

However, as the county lieutenant of Qianshi, Cheng Dong knew that the two had a common interest - food!

Last year's bumper harvest in Hedong, in addition to the 1 million stone grain delivered to Guanzhong and the 2 million stone military grain to Aocang, according to tradition, there should also be reserves of the same amount in the local granary of Hedong County, in case of famine or danger in Kanto, the imperial court needs urgently.

But......

A classmate of Cheng Dong who was on an errand in the root warehouse told him that there was only less than 500,000 stone of grain stored in the root warehouse, where did the rest of the grain go? Then only God knows!

In the officialdom of Hedong, some people say that it was the king of Huainan who spent a lot of money to buy the grain in the root warehouse.

It is also said that he saw with his own eyes a trough ship coming from the east, carrying a boatload of grain, down the river to the side of Luoyang.

Some people also say that it was the big businessman of Qi who dredged the way of the county lieutenant and transported the grain to sell.

Anyway, there are all kinds of things to say, true and false, and it is not clear to distinguish between true and false.

But one thing is undoubtedly - at least half of the grain stored in the root warehouse and wet warehouse in Hedong has disappeared.

This is the real reason why the county guard did not dare to rescue the disaster, and the county lieutenant did not say a word!

Because as long as the warehouse is opened, it will expose the horse's feet, and the whole world will know that the granary of the Han family, there are hamsters in Hedong County, and half of the stored grain in Hedong will be gnawed away at one time!

If this matter is kicked out, the entire Hedong County from top to bottom, the officials of more than 800 stones, all have to go to the Tingwei Yamen, and the officers, errands, and Simas who are responsible for the safety of the granary will all lose their heads, and as for the county guards and county lieutenants, they will definitely be exterminated!

This is the reason why the officialdom of Hedong County is silent about the fact that the county guard does not open a position and the county lieutenant does not say a word.

Who would dare to lift the lid?

Whoever exposes it will be counterattacked and torn apart by the officialdom of the entire Hedong County!

Now, there is a nobleman who looks very big in Chang'an City, and Cheng Dong feels that if he can't settle it, then he can only let the county guard and the county lieutenant who started it settle it. (To be continued......)

PS: Wait for another one~

Ahem, it's been very late late, and it's been a ~~~~~~ lately

I can't write during the day, and the place where I live seems to be being demolished recently, and every morning at 10 o'clock, there is a drilling rig rumbling outside, and I can't calm down and think about things and think about the plot.
