In the lobby of the county government, Li Weiguo wrote down the severity of the disaster in Chongming County, the tenant farmers causing trouble, Xiao Yang and other county government officials corruption and abuse of power, and agreed to reduce taxes from landlords and merchants such as Su, Zhou, Zan, Yan and others in detail in the official documents. After preparing to seal wax and seal, he sent someone to report it to the prefect of the Zhili Prefecture of Taicang.

At this time, Wu Yong and Zhang Xiaoliu came together. The former said excitedly: "Congratulations to the 200,000 s of grain promised by the four families of Su, Zhou, Zan and Yan, have been transported to the county government's granary. The 200,000 taels of silver in the county government are enough to support the adults to complete the great feat of labor-for-relief. The people of Chongming County are now saved, and they rely on the benevolence and righteousness of the adults. The 200,000 people of Chongming County thanked the adults for their help."

Li Weiguo smiled and said, "Wuhufang has been awarded too much! I have only done what I should do. If Wuhufang had not mediated it, I would probably not have such a good situation at this moment. Saving the 200,000 people in Chongming County was in dire straits, and Wuhufang made great contributions."

Seeing that Li Weiguo was able to accomplish great things at a young age, Wu Yong couldn't help but admire him more.

At this time, Zhang Xiaoliu also added icing on the cake and said: "Young Master, the petitioners outside the yamen have dispersed. According to the yamen's instructions, the yamen workshop will lead them to the villages and towns in the county to build dams, dig canals, and rebuild their homes. I believe that before the next season of farming, all the people will be able to live in peace and thank the adults for their kindness."

Li Weiguo was also very pleased to receive this news. He was able to benefit the people and received praise from 200,000 people. A sense of honor still arises in his heart, which is very comfortable.

It turns out that being a good official feels like this!

Li Weiguo thought to himself that if he still manages a county, what about this, then what about a state, a province, or even a country?

What would it feel like to make hundreds of millions of people grateful and praise you?

In life, you will come and go naked. Only reputation can be passed down through the ages, or be famous for thousands of years, or be infamous for thousands of years. If you want future generations to remember you forever, then you cannot be mediocre and have to do something big.

Thinking of this, Li Weiguo was suddenly full of heroism.

"The post-disaster reconstruction work is heavy and there is no sloppy. Xiao Liuzi, you lead people to strengthen patrols and maintain public order, but those who take advantage of others' dangers will be severely punished and not loaned. Wu's house must manage the distribution of money and grain. Based on the principle of more work, more work and less work, and no work cannot be obtained, mobilize the enthusiasm of the victims, and complete the post-disaster reconstruction work as soon as possible, and there must be no mistakes."

Li Weiguo decisively assigned tasks to Zhang Xiaoliu and Wu Yong, and the two agreed immediately.

"Stay a house in Wuhu. I want to ask you about something in this county."

Li Weiguo called Wu Yong and took out the county government accounts for him.

After reading the amount of the accounts deficit calculated by Li Weiguo, Wu Yong was shocked and blurted out: "I actually lost 320,000 taels of silver? This - this Xiao Zhuan is too bold and arrogant!"

It was indeed Xiao Yang's work!

Li Weiguo had long suspected that the bookkeeper Xiao had made a fake account. At this moment, he got confirmation from Wu Yong and was even more certain that there must be something ulterior motive behind this.

"I heard from Wu Hufang that this Master Xiao has done such a bold and arrogant thing before?"

Seeing Li Weiguo asking, Wu Yong replied: "To be honest, this Xiao Zhuan is outstanding in making false accounts. Several county magistrates wanted to investigate Xiao Zhuan's deficit of public funds. Unfortunately, the accounts Xiao Zhuan was too smart. No matter how they investigated, they could not find any problem. Instead, they were falsely accused of losing public funds by Xiao Zhuan. They were either imprisoned or exiled. Later, the county magistrate simply surrendered and did not dare to investigate Xiao Zhuan again. This is also the main reason why the county government is following Xiao Zhuan's leader, and he really can't beat him."

Wu Yong paused, unable to hide his surprise, and continued: "But, according to Bei Zhi, Xiao Zhuan lost money for fake accounts and lost money only tens of thousands of taels of silver every time. Unexpectedly, he lost 320,000 taels at once. What he didn't expect was that at a young age, he could find such a huge deficit problem in the accounts made by Xiao Zhuan, which really surprised Bei Zhi, and Bei Zhi admired it."

Li Weiguo smiled slightly. Although Xiao Yang's fake accounts were both hidden and clever, as long as he mastered the basic principles and rules of purchase, sales and inventory, he could still find out even the most complex fake accounts.

However, Xiao Yang only lost tens of thousands of taels of silver every time he made a fake account, but now he is out of normal condition and suddenly loses 320,000 taels of silver. The conspiracy has become obvious, which makes Li Weiguo even more vigilant.

"You mean Xiao Yang used fake accounts to bring down those county magistrates who did not obey his will?"

"According to my speculation, this is the case! Most of the county magistrates who refused to bow to Xiao Yang were dismissed because of a deficit of public funds. Before the incident, the account handled by Xiao Director Xiao had no problems. But when the leader sent someone to inspect, the chief magistrate immediately pointed out the deficit of the accounts and provided the county magistrate with a deficit of public funds." Wu Yong was not sure, but he expressed his judgment.

Li Weiguo snorted coldly and said in a clear mind: "It seems that Master Xiao really respects this county. The previous few entrants had a deficit of tens of thousands of taels, but when I came to me, it would be a deficit of more than 300,000 taels. This is the rhythm of killing me!"

Wu Yong frowned and said, "This matter has a lesson, so I have to be careful. From the perspective of humble officials, the reason why Xiao Yang has not attacked the adults is because he has just taken office and can easily say that the deficit is left by the former county magistrate. However, if the adults have not found out the problems in the account in a few months, then there will be no excuses and will definitely be put to death by Xiao Yang."

Li Weiguo nodded, agreed with Wu Yong's opinion, and then asked: "In the view of Wu's house, how should this county solve this problem?"

Wu Yong thought for a while and said, "In his humble opinion, there are people above Xiao Yang who have a close relationship with the prefect of Taicangzhou, Zhili, and the governor of Liangjiang, Lu Jianying, and Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang. If Xiao Yang takes the initiative to attack, the Lord will be very passive. It would be better to report the account issue to the court now. Even if Xiao Yang has someone to protect him and cannot be punished, at least it has nothing to do with the Lord."

It actually has something to do with Lu Jianying!

As expected, this was a situation from the beginning. It was a grand killing situation that Lu Jianying carefully arranged for Li Weiguo, and he wanted to kill Li Weiguo.

Your daughter Lu Jianying, if you don’t take this revenge, I will write it backwards!

Li Weiguo guessed that the person behind the scenes was Lu Jianying, and he felt very angry. When he thought of Lu Jianying's son-in-law Jiangning prefect Wu Liang persecuted the Li family, the new and old hatreds were mixed up and he was immediately furious.

"Is there any way to use this account problem to kill Xiao Yang? Even if he can't kill him, at least he will be disgusted with that old thief Lu Jianying!"

"I'm so disgusted with Lu Jianying's - that old thief?" Wu Yong was stunned when he heard this. He was a smart man and soon understood the hostile relationship between Li Weiguo and Lu Jianying. This makes sense why Xiao Yang insisted on killing Li Weiguo.

Although Wu Yong did not understand what hatred there was between Li Weiguo and Lu Jianying, he was a fair person. He admired Li Weiguo's attitude towards being an official and benefiting the people in Wu Yong's eyes was a good master who deserves his help and service.

Thinking of this, Wu Yong also felt energetic and suggested: "It is not difficult for the lord to kill Xiao Yang. You just need to secretly send the account investigation to the Grandpa Liu Jianzhang, who is an important official of the previous dynasty. He was demoted to Su Song Taidao for supporting the sixth prince Yi? The lord was demoted to Su Song Taidao for failing to fight for the throne. Lu Jianying was the fourth prince of the previous dynasty, who was the slave of the current emperor's residence. Both sides were mortal enemies. If he learned that the lord wanted to deal with Lu Jianying and kill his minions, Xiao Yang, he would definitely help."

Through Wu Yong's words, Li Weiguo not only had a way to deal with Xiao Yang, but also learned some secrets of fighting against Xiao Yang in the previous dynasty. Lu Jianying was actually a slave during the Qiandi period of Xianfeng. Lu Jianying wanted to kill the Li family because Li Weiguo's wife Fu Shanxiang's father was his mortal enemy. This shows that Fu Shanxiang's father was the sixth prince Prince Gong Yi? The person there. When Yi and Xianfeng failed to compete for the throne, it was no wonder that Xianfeng killed Yi? one party as soon as he ascended the throne, the one who was imprisoned, and the one who was exiled, and eventually implicated Li Weiguo's family.

It turns out that the mastermind behind the scenes is the Imperial Party!

Until now, Li Weiguo finally confirmed the mastermind behind the frame-up of the Li family, the imperial party that supported Xianfeng back then.

Before, the enemy was dark and we were clear, but now the enemy behind the scenes has revealed the tip of the iceberg. For Li Weiguo, he has a clear direction of revenge and is no longer passive.
