The Heroine’s Route is Wrong

When Guo Yanjin and Zhongshe Li Zhao socialized with local officials, Zhao Qingyi did not participate too much.

He is a prince, not an ordinary prince. Although the chief envoy of Hedong is a believer in the king, he still dare not easily offend Guo Yanjin. After all, eggs can't be put in a basket. If the king of faith is successful, he can get a greater honor, but the prince hasn't seen a decline at this time.

When Guo Yanjin was busy in front of him, Zhao Qingyi and her team were also secretly busy. Zhou Zhen returned to Guo Yanjin to listen to it, but Cao Jing still followed her with his true identity.

Walking and investigating in the countryside near Taiyuan, because Cao Jing and the three young apprentices are also from Hedong and have similar accents, it is quite convenient.

Guo Yanjin also ordered the officials in front to arrange for the refugees to return to their hometowns to rush to cultivate, while working with local officials and Guang Tongchen, even if there were those who were crying for poverty, he could make a temporary concession.

Five days later, Zhao Qingyi and Cao Jingcai returned to the prince's court to advise him in a low-key manner.

Zhao Qingyi asked Cao Jing to hand over the things to Guo Yanjin. Guo Yanjin looked at several pieces of paper that read "License for Grain", "Li Sanlang, Lijia Village, Qingxu County, Taiyuan Prefecture, Taiyuan, Hedong Province, finished paying for the 19th year of Yongsheng's money and food" September 8th, 19th year of Guan Yongsheng".

This "grain acceptance license" is also stamped with the county government's seal, as well as the signature of the county owner Bo Sunyun and the village wise Li Gui.

Guo Yanjin looked at several other "grain receiving licenses", including those for 19 years of Yongsheng, 18 years of Yongsheng and 20 years of Yongsheng. He couldn't help but slapped the table with anger, and cursed, "That's unreasonable! They are so courageous!" "

Zhao Qingyi took a sip of tea and said lightly: "His Royal Highness, be careful that your hands hurt..."

Cao Jing couldn't help admiring Young Master Zhao's attitude towards His Highness. It seemed that His Highness trusted him in whatever he did, and sometimes even coaxed him.

Guo Yanjin stood up, walked with his hand, looked at Zhao Qingyi and said, "You are busy without seeing people for several days?"

Zhao Qingyi said: "Otherwise? Is this useful to you?"

Guo Yanjin took the seat again and said fiercely, "How can they deny it!"

Zhao Qingyi said leisurely: "Taiyuan is the place of Longxing in the former Tang Dynasty. It is known as the Dragon City in history. It was Emperor Sejong's personal conquest of Taiyuan. After their resistance, after the Northern Han Dynasty was destroyed, the city of Taiyuan was burned and razed to ruins. Later, the Taiyuan area in the east of the river was always difficult. Regardless, the Lvliang Mountain bandits in the west have been plagued for years. Emperor Gaozong and the present-day sages only practiced the method of gentleness, and Taiyuan has only re-emerged. This kind of forgiveness makes the officials below courageous, and the people have not seen it well. As the saying goes. , Xing, the people suffer, die, and the people suffer.” (Note: In history, the Northern Song Dynasty destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong’s personal conquest was strongly resisted by the people of Taiyuan. This place is emptied. Don’t do textual research.)

Guo Yanjin said, "Can't you tell the truth?"

Zhao Qingyi laughed, Guo Yanjin ignored her, looked at Cao Jing, and asked, "Cao Qing, come on."

Cao Jing said: "His Royal Highness, in the opinion of Young Master Zhao and the ministers, this black-and-white license to accept grain is also a key to the current situation."

Guo Yanjin took a sip of tea: "Go on."

Cao Jing said: "For example, in Qingxu County, the sage exempted Qingxu County's imperial grain three years ago. If the county magistrate re-levies it and commits the crime of deceiving the emperor, the county magistrate can be dismissed and detained for trial."

Guo Yanjin nodded, and said, "Is this going to stun the snake?"

Cao Jing said: "If you don't rush and startle the snake, how can the snake come out? The officials underneath gave your Highness a false account, which is difficult for your Highness to investigate. But later, someone exposed that they had resisted the decree and levied the imperial rations. This was a capital crime of ransacking the house. Not for themselves, but for their sake. The family will also confess some things and some people, and recover the corrupted money."

Guo Yanjin frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid this is a wolf's den!"

Guo Yanjin came here lightly and brought dozens of people in total. Now that I think of it, in order to prevent extravagance, the fact that he did this is a big deal.

Zhao Qingyi said: "His Royal Highness, in my opinion, the trial of the private payment of royal food can be handed over to Cao Jing. Although we are in a wolf's den, it is not easy for the officials underneath to unite and commit a great rebellion. If you don't worry about the Taiyuan Army Jiedu, invite someone to transfer the army to take control."

The Taiyuan military ambassador has been attacked for two generations, and it is a giant snake that is bigger than the chief ambassador Liu Jitang.

Guo Yanjin said, "You had planned for a long time. Why didn't you tell me when you were in Pingyang Mansion? Time is so tight now."

Zhao Qingyi smiled bitterly: "I am not a god, how can I be sure to find the evidence I want and the person who is available?"

Guo Yanjin put down the tea bowl and said: "Taiyuan Army Jiedushi Wang Jiren was originally from the time of the first emperor. He was born in general and a famous veteran. The Taiyuan Army is also an elite. It is impossible to transfer troops from Yanyun..."

Zhao Qingyi said: "The Yanyun area is an important border defense area and cannot be easily moved."

"Could it be that the forbidden army from Jingxi Road was transferred here?"

"Jingxi Road is a little farther, the Pingyang Mansion Jianxiong Army can still be used." The army expeditions are all white money, of course, it is to save money for the nearby troops.

"Jianxiong Army? Are they also people who believe in the king? They may not be clean either."

Zhao Qingyi said: "No matter who it is, they don’t know why they are transferred. The Jianxiong army came to Taiyuan, and Fan Mo couldn’t ventilate with the Taiyuan army. The two armies faced each other, and they were susceptible to each other. , It can be balanced. There is a real rebellion, your Highness ascends to call for rebellion, it is also the time for the men of the other side's army to make contributions."

Guo Yanjinfeng's eyes flashed, and said: "This is a dangerous move for soldiers." This woman is really the last bit of support. If one party is dominant, all the soldiers will be vigorous, and he will be empty, in danger, and there will be some people. Checks and balances are different. Fan Mo, Jianxiong Army Jiedushi, is not his person, but he is not a subordinate of Taiyuan Army Jiedushi.

Zhao Qingyi said: "His Royal Highness does not dare?"

Guo Yanjin thinks about it. The children of common people say that wealth and wealth are in danger, but those who do big things don't take risks.

At the moment he wrote two manuscripts, recruited two guards, and asked them to return to Pingyang to find Liu Haowen, and then transferred Jianxiong's army to Taiyuan in a hurry.

Two days later, Guo Yanjin was accompanied by Cao Jing and Li Zhaoxiang to inspect the refugees outside of Taiyuan City. Hedong Road Jiedu also accompanied Liu Jitang.

Suddenly, a group of villagers rushed up on the road and called for injustice. The accompanying officials were shocked and wanted to drive away, but they were stopped by Guo Yanjin, and the people who had called for injustice came up for questioning.

Although the clothes of a father and son were torn, they were washed clean. They picked up the paper and shouted: "Prince Chitose, Cao Min waits for a great grievance, please call the shots!"

Hedong Road Jiedu made Liu Jitang not aware of their grievances, but at this time he called out the grievances. He was guilty of conscience and said: "Since you have wronged your own magistrates, why bother to disturb His Royal Highness Luanjia? It is clearly a spoiler!"

Guo Yanjin said: "Liu Qing, what are you doing? I've come to examine the people's sentiments alone. Since they are unjust, why don't they listen to it if they see it alone?"

Liu Jitang couldn't help resenting that the servants at the bottom were not doing well. They came out today to inspect. Why didn't the people at the bottom clear the scene and got in with such people.

The old farmer cried: "His Royal Highness, sirs, it's not that the Caomin doesn't ask the county master to call the shots. It is the county master Gao Yuanhai of Qingxu County that the Caomin wants to sue!"

Guo Yanjin was surprised when he acted, and said, "What crime are you accusing him of?"

The old farmer said loudly, "All the villagers in Lijia Village sued Gao Yuanhai, the magistrate of Qingxu County, for deceiving the emperor!"

Liu Jitang said: "A joke! Gao Yuanhai, a small county magistrate, only saw His Royal Highness Jinmian a few days ago, and had no chance to meet the prince. How can you deceive the emperor, and how do you and other minorities know if the county magistrate has deceived the emperor?"

The old farmer’s son said: "This lord, there was also a flood in August three years ago. The Holy Father ordered Qingxu County to be exempted from imperial grain for three years. However, in the past three years, Gao County has not exempted the imperial grain by cents. It is not an anti-decree. Lord?"

Liu Jitang couldn't help being taken aback, and his face paled. It was really difficult to tell this matter in front of the public.

"Presumptuous! You wait for Xiaomin to be slanderous!"

Guo Yanjin said: "Gu really remembers that three years ago, many counties in Hedong exempted the imperial grain for three years, including Qingxu County. Er et al. said that the county magistrate did not exempt the imperial grain for three years. Is there any evidence? "

Several villagers held a tax license and said: "We have a tax license with the signature of the county government's seal and the dealer!"

At this time, Liu Jitang calmed down and looked at Guo Yanjin's attitude, and suddenly guessed that it would not be so simple for these villagers to come and sue officials.

In the past few days, he thought that the prince had gone through the scene and sent off in such a peaceful atmosphere. He heard that he did nothing when he was in Linfen.

If Gao Yuanhai was taken down, he would know a lot, I'm afraid it would be troublesome.

The guard received the food permit, and Guo Yanjin couldn't help being furious when he saw it: "What a high county magistrate! How dare you dare to carry the imperial court Yurou Township? It's not reasonable! Come and bring Gao Yuanhai, I want to hear it personally!"

With a cold sweat on Liu Jitang's forehead, Guo Yanjin said, "Master Liu."

"His Royal Highness Zhecha Weichen."

Guo Yanjin said, "This is in Hele. If one of them is murdered and killed, I will take you alone."

Liu Jitang couldn't help but knelt down and said, "His Royal Highness, Weichen..."

...

On the order of Guo Yanjin, Cao Jing led ten guards and one hundred Taiyuan government officials to Qingxu County to take people and check the county government account books for evidence.

In the afternoon of the next day, the county magistrate Gao Yuanhai and the county chief Bo came to Taiyuan. At the Taiyuan government office, Guo Yanjin appointed Cao Jing's temporary prosecutor to preside over the case, and Hedong Road's prosecutor wanted to avoid suspicion.

This good show made the officials in Taiyuan fear, Zhao Qingyi accompanied Guo Yanjin to the hearing in the hall.

The evidence of the villagers was solid, and the county magistrate Gao Yuanhai could not shirk his responsibility at all. By this time, he would inevitably die, but he was still unwilling to confess.

Guo Yanjin said that if he committed crimes, he would be spared the crime of his family. This trick made the officials present sweat coldly.

Gao Yuanhai fainted at the last pass, presumably he hadn't considered it clearly yet, and Guo Yanjin was not in a hurry.

After Gao Yuanhai fainted, the interrogation was suspended, but he was not detained in the government's prison, but in Guo Yanjin's row.

Zhao Qingyi accompanied Guo Yanjin to see Gao Yuanhai. He was awake at this time, but he was still in fear and entanglement.

Zhao Qingyi invited Guo Yanjin to sit down, and Gao Yuanhai also slid from the couch to the ground, kowtowing: "His Royal Highness, the minister is convicted, please let go of the minister's family..."

Guo Yanjin said, "Do you have anything to say?"

Gao Yuanhai is just a county magistrate. If a small envoy comes, he will point to the Shangguan to protect him, but this is the prince. Although his superiors are the so-called believers in the king, he is just a small county magistrate who has no other backers. If he doesn't work with them, he can't be an official. Besides, it is good.

Gao Yuanhai said: "His Royal Highness, what do you want the Weichen to say, but even if the Weichen said it, is your Highness sure to keep the Weichen’s family at this time?"

Zhao Qingyi said: "I don't dare to say whether your Royal Highness is sure to keep your family, but now if you don't say it, you will be useless. The crime of deceiving the emperor, in the village of fish and meat, must be a capital crime!"
