Chapter 315: The Big Case
Liu Han didn't believe that Li Yan had no woman or home outside, he had been friends with Xue Mi for a year, what kind of person he was, no one knew the Manchu Emperor, he was a stinger, drank flower wine, loved gambling, and dared to cause trouble, but he was by no means a stingy person, Li Yan fought for him many times, and was the best guard by his side, he would never be stingy with such a person, so Li Yan should never be so poor, and he didn't even have the money to recruit fifty soldiers.

Well, even if he pretends to be poor, he can be Li Yan's appearance and talent, there will be no women, there are so many women in the Xue Mansion, can he not look down on any of them? No, unless he doesn't want to be fettered by the Xue Mansion, or be held by others.
"Either you're kind or you're too cautious, but sometimes prudence is a problem. ”
Liu Han sighed deeply, his consciousness was released, and the scene within tens of meters around him was under control, and he turned around and walked into the depths of the alley, this alley is complicated, there are many forks, and there are many exits, it is the best place to get rid of tracking, when he came out of another alley, his clothes had changed, his hair bun had also changed, and everything that could show the identity of the forbidden army officer was gone, replaced by a middle-aged businessman.
Chenguo County, Chenguo County.
Since the assassination of Qincha Pengzhu, the outside of the county government has been heavily guarded, inside the yamen, the tiger guards patrolled day and night, on the street outside the yamen, strangers approached, and the soldiers were all strictly checked, causing a lot of inconvenience to the people.
Today, the atmosphere inside and outside the county government is even more tense, even ordinary people can feel it, the city gate that was originally handled by the county soldiers is replaced by beautifully dressed soldiers today, these soldiers look more powerful and more frightening, the street outside the yamen has been blocked since the morning, and idle people are not allowed to enter.
In the palace, Pengzhu sat high in the hall, staring at the officials of the county with a majestic expression, these officials came from the counties of the county within three days, and sat next to the lobby was Yanzhou Thorn Shi Gao Quan, Gao Quan was in his forties, born in the Gao family of Yuzhou, and was also a student of Yanzhou Songcian Academy.
Sitting on the right side of the canopy pillar is a heroic middle-aged man, this middle-aged man is wearing a brocade robe, a belt around his waist, his hands are on his knees, his eyes are cold, different from others, behind him stood two young officers standing with knives, these two young officers went to that station, adding a bit of murderous aura to the entire hall.
"It's because the emperor has a will," Peng Zhu said here and arched his hand, then picked up a copy of the court mail that Shangshutai had just delivered, and then put the court post down, and then stood up: "Everyone knows that some time ago, the official was assassinated, and some people wanted to kill the official, they were very stupid, thinking that killing the official would prevent the court from verifying the land, I can tell him, this is a dream!" Before leaving the imperial capital, the emperor told me that this land inspection can only succeed and cannot fail, and I said to the emperor that as long as the minister does not die, he will resolutely investigate it! Clear the land for the people of Chen State! If the minister dies, please do not retreat and continue to clear! Continue to investigate!
Speaking of this, Peng Zhu paused: "It has been seven months since I arrived in Chen State, but there has been no progress at all in the matter explained by the emperor.
Peng Zhu remembered the experience of the past seven months and was furious, not to say anything else, he wanted to see the land registration file, but the counties said no, he changed his method, to see the tax files of the counties over the years, but the counties prevaricated, first pushed to the county, found the county guard Huang An, Huang An pushed to Gao Quan, Gao Quan unceremoniously refused, saying that this is not the order of Cao Shangshu, and no one else has the right to check the tax accounts, which will make Peng Zhu angry to death.
It was easy to get the order from Duzhi Cao, but what Pengzhu saw was a confused account, and each county only had a unified account, and there was no detail at all, which meant that it was impossible to see the distribution of land from the accounts.
Peng Zhu was angry, but in the face of the indifferent officialdom of the entire Yanzhou, he had no way, there was once a county guard under the Peng official quietly handed him a certain gate valve land information, but within two days, Peng Zhu looked for him again, he disappeared, Hu Benwei heard the news that this person had been dismissed and sent back to his hometown, the news that the internal guard heard was that this person met mountain bandits on the way back to his hometown, his finances were robbed, and the person disappeared and did not return to his hometown.
Since then, no one has provided any information to Peng Zhu, and gradually, Peng Zhu found that not only him, but even if his subordinates go out, there are people following them, and all the people who come into contact with them have been inexplicably hit afterwards, and the internal guards reported that the four major gate lords of Chen Guo secretly gathered the Shi clan gate lords of Chen Guo and decided to join forces to fight, and their protégés are all over the counties of Chen Guo County.
In desperation, Peng Zhu decided to set off the case, decided to investigate the old case of Chen Guojun, and soon found out two cases from the old case, these two cases involved the Shi family and the Li family of the four major gates of Chen Guo, but what he didn't expect was that before he could provoke it, Yanzhou Assassin Shi Gaoquan intervened, and in the name of cleaning up the old cases, all the old case files of Chen Guojun were transferred to the Assassin's Mansion and tried by him personally.
Peng Zhu had no choice but to impeach Chen Guojun and Yanzhou Assassin Shi Gaoquan, but the emperor out of prudence, issued an edict to severely reprimand Gao Quan and Chen Guojun County, Chen Guojun County Guard took advantage of the situation to apply for resignation, the emperor did not retain the slightest, ordered him to go to his post, let Peng Zhu concurrently lead Chen Guojun County Guard, and at the same time adjusted the Chen Guojun Governor, so that Pengzhu Qincha Guard Captain Guo Wei concurrently served as the Governor of Chen Guojun.
But within a few days of this adjustment, Pengzhu was assassinated, counting the time of God, this is already the second time he was assassinated after the imperial court proposed to check the land, last time thanks to Liu Han, this time his luck was not so good, he was seriously injured, and the guards around him suffered seven casualties, the emperor was furious, and on the one hand, the imperial doctor was quickly sent to Chen Guojun, and on the other hand, he severely reprimanded the internal guards, and Gonggong Mu ordered all the internal guards of Chen Guojun to be fined for one year, and the head of the internal guards of Chen Guojun recorded a major mistake, and at the same time transferred the main force of the tiger guard to Chen Guojun.
Peng Zhu had been recuperating from his injuries for two whole months, and today his injuries had not completely recovered, so he ordered a meeting of all the county officials, including the county commanders of the following counties.
Peng Zhu picked up a yellow note and raised it from the officials present, and then said: "This is the emperor's edict to me the day before yesterday, in this edict, the emperor clearly told me that the inventory of land must be carried out as soon as possible, and we must not cower and prevaricate! The emperor's mood is very anxious, I am now in the Jin Dynasty full of hidden dangers, you may not know, the grassland disputes have risen again, the imperial court is facing the need to send troops, but the imperial treasury is empty, this year's income of the imperial treasury is less than last year's 20%, my lords, do you know what this means? This means that the imperial court has no money and grain to send troops to the grasslands, and the imperial court has no money and grain to support the troops, and even the military salaries of the border troops cannot be guaranteed! The salaries of the officials of the DPRK and China cannot be guaranteed! Hundreds of thousands of displaced people cannot be resettled! Why do we need to check the land? This is the reason!
Pengzhu's voice was full of excitement, but the officials below were expressionless, all with solemn expressions, and some people secretly looked at the tiger guards outside the door from time to time, and then turned their eyes to the same expressionless assassin Shi Gaoquan, Gao Quan's expression was also solemn, but if he looked closely, there was a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth.
Facing Gao Quan's middle-aged man, it was the newly arrived Tiger Benwei who commanded the Golden Eagle Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng's face was expressionless, and his eyes looked at Gao Quan like a cat looking at a mouse.
"Please make a decree to the prince!" Peng Zhu looked at the indifferent officials, sighed softly, and turned his head to Jiang Feng and said.
Jiang Feng got up and said: "Master Peng, what's the use of saying this, those who have a conscience have long understood, and those who have no conscience will pretend not to understand even if they understand." ”
"Lord Jiang's words are wrong!" Gao Quan interjected coldly: "The imperial court treasury is empty, the homeless people are wailing in the wilderness, we are waiting to read the books of the sages, eat the court and the court, how can we not be in a hurry, we are not in favor of the land inventory, but Lord Peng has not thought about it, the scholar clan is the cornerstone of the imperial court, is the foundation of the Shilin, since ancient times, there are no punishment for the doctor, and the court is not for the lower clan; as soon as Lord Peng arrives, he will target the scholar clan, causing the Shilin to be uneasy and the people's livelihood is in turmoil, and the official has played to the emperor to impeach Lord Peng!"
"Whatever you want," Peng Zhu stared at Gao Quan coldly: "Today, the prince brings the emperor's will, and I ask everyone to follow me to receive the holy will." ”
Peng Zhu said and got down from the main seat and stood in front, when a slightly chubby middle-aged eunuch came out from behind the screen, this middle-aged eunuch looked like he was in his forties, with a red face and a rich appearance.
"Princess-in-law!" said Pengzhu Shili, and the princess laughed a few times, and walked to the back of the bookcase and stopped.
Seeing this eunuch, Gao Quan chuckled in his heart, the letter from the imperial capital did not say that the eunuch head of the former prince's mansion and the current deputy head of the internal guard was out of Beijing, and the emperor's henchman eunuch suddenly appeared in the lobby, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Our family will make an announcement," Wang Gonggong stood behind the bookcase, and glanced down calmly, Gao Quan hurriedly stood beside Pengzhu, and the officials at all levels below stood in a row behind the two of them according to their positions.
"The emperor has an edict! Pengzhu, Gao Quan, and the subordinate counties of Chen Guojun have decrees!"
With this shrill voice, Pengzhu Gaoquan led the kneeling, and the officials at all levels in the hall knelt down again.
"Ministers receive the holy will!"
"Taizu Dingguo, thinking of the collapse of the previous dynasty, is to determine the world's acres of land, but there is always a small night, trying to occupy more fields, resulting in the gradual abolition of Taizu's system, I am anxious, Pengzhu divides the king's worries, the courage to take responsibility, the order to check the land, in order to restore the old system of Taizu, but there are many obstacles, more than half a year, there is no inch, and then Xiaoxiao plots rebellion, openly assassinated, I heard of the inexplicable shock! Yanzhou Assassin History Chen Guo, what is the heart of officials at all levels! Internal guard secret investigation, this rebellion, Chen Guo, many involvement! The deputy head of the internal guard, the Wang's office, has full authority to deal with it, and all the small ones must be captured! There must be no protection in the slightest!
After the prince finished reading it, he closed the holy decree and said to Peng Zhu: "Lord Peng, Lord Gao, after this holy decree is read, our family is going to take people!"
Peng Zhu didn't say anything, Gao Quan looked at Wang Gonggong in surprise: "What does Gonggong mean by this?!"
