Chapter 564 Breakthrough
Looking at his back, Ruan Ming was stunned.
It was not until Ruan Yang walked in that he realized it. He said repeatedly: "This, this, Yanger, what does this Liu Changqing mean?"
"Oh!" Ruan Yang sighed and said, "I said, don't provoke Liu Changqing. Now, my father will bring trouble to him."
"Oh! What should I do..." Ruan Ming regretted after hearing this.
He wanted to curry favor with Liu Changqing, but he didn't know that he had been used.
After this incident, Liangzhou officials received the news and their brows became even deeper.
When we got together again to discuss, someone said:
"It's not easy to deal with if Liu Changqing doesn't get in..."
"Yes, although this person is pedantic, it is also difficult to deal with..."
"More importantly, we don't know where his breakthrough is now..."
The First Office of Liangzhou.
Qi Ying bowed with fists and said, "Sir, you already have some clues."
"Oh?" Liu Changqing was shocked and hurriedly signaled him to continue.
Qi Ying said: "According to the inquiries from many sources, since the autumn harvest, the number of grain traders in Liangzhou has suddenly increased a lot, and trade has been frequent during this period."
"Well, there must be a problem here." Liu Changqing said seriously: "Let it go first, later, we will set up a plan for grain merchants. Now, you will take people to Fu'an County first, visit the people, and check the number of grains and grains in Fu'an in detail. In addition, you will ride a fast horse and speed up to 600 miles to send this letter to Wang Ting."
As he spoke, he also handed over a silk book.
"Is this?" Qi Ying took it and couldn't help but ask curiously.
Liu Changqing didn't hide anything from him and said bluntly: "It's related to the corruption of the Ruan family."
"Ah?" Qi Ying said a little puzzled, "Sir, our main task is to investigate the major grain corruption case. The Ruan family seems to have no involvement, right?"
"No corrupt official! You can let go!" Liu Changqing said in a serious voice.
"Yes! Let's do it now." Qi Ying took the order and left.
This 600-mile-rush letter was sent to Qinzhou not long after. Due to Liu Changqing's current identity, the letter could be directly reached in front of the king.
In the letter, Liu Changqing explained Ruan Ming’s huge amount of gold and silver and requested a trial and investigation. However, after reading it, Xiao Yuan did not give any instructions, but suppressed it.
In the back garden, he was walking with Gu Xue. Seeing that he was a little absent-minded, Gu Xue couldn't help but ask, "What are your worries, husband?"
Xiao Yuan shook his head: "It's still the case in Liangzhou."
As he said that, he said again: "The Ruan family has no need to do it now, and it cannot do it. Some things can be turned a blind eye as long as they don't touch the bottom line. But Liu Changqing is too upright in doing things. I am really afraid that he will cause a huge mistake."
Gu Xue heard this and said, "If there is no other righteousness, the case of Liangzhou will be handled by the husband and the important officials?"
"Forget it, let him mess around, I just need to see the result." Xiao Yuan smiled bitterly.
At the same time, Fu'an County.
In the county government, Qi Yingzheng was wearing armor and a battle knife hanging on his waist. He reached out and said, "Mr. Lin, please."
Looking at Qi Ying and the soldiers behind him, the county magistrate Lin Youfu said furiously: "It's so outrageous! The county's destiny of the imperial court has appointed an official! What right do you have to do this! Be careful that the official's letter will make you unable to bear it!"
Qi Ying shook his head: "I don't have this right below, but the person who asked you to go there is the Liangzhou inspector. Lord Lin should leave quickly and not humiliate himself."
"What...what!?" Hearing this, Lin Youfu was completely unconfident and was stunned.
After reacting, he immediately changed from his arrogance just now and forced a smile: "The inspector is invited by him, so the subordinates naturally dare not not go. However, there is still a lot to deal with in this county government's official business..."
Qi Ying looked at him coldly and didn't speak, but the meaning was already very obvious.
Seeing this, Lin Youfu couldn't help swallowing and forced a smile again: "Okay, okay..."
He had nothing to say along the way. After bringing the magistrate of Fu'an County, Qi Ying immediately asked Liu Changqing to report his life.
After listening to his report, the latter nodded and said, "Take the magistrate of Fu'an County in."
"yes!"
Soon, Lin Youfu entered the hall. He was still wearing the uniform of a county magistrate. After entering, he looked carefully at Liu Changqing above him, then bowed and bowed, saying, "I have met Lord Liu when I am the magistrate of Fu'an County."
"Mr. Lin." Liu Changqing glanced at him, then picked up a silk book on the table and said straight to the point:
"This is your official document submitted to the county government, which contains a detailed description. At the time of handover, the number of grains and grains in Fu'an was 30,000 stones, right?"
"Yes, yes." Lin Youfu stood below and replied.
Liu Changqing said: "But after Lord Qi's verification, Fu'an County has had good weather this year and has a good harvest. The total number is actually more than 50,000 stones. Can you tell me that the county government actually received 50,000 yuan, but reported only 30,000 yuan. Where did the 20,000 yuan in the middle go?"
Lin Youfu seemed to be prepared for this issue and immediately replied: "That's because the lower officials had 20,000 stones of grain and grass during the statistics and transportation process. When they encountered tides, they were rejected by the county government at the time of handover, so there were only 30,000 stones."
"Is that true?" Liu Changqing sneered: "Where is the moldy 20,000 stone of grain and grass? Where is it now?"
"In the county government, the subordinate officials have already stored other stores and dare not move them privately."
"In this way, I am wronged you?" Liu Changqing continued to sneer.
"Mr. Liu is very serious. The Lord. On behalf of the emperor, he inspects Liangzhou and summons the officials. It should be, it should be."
Lin Youfu said repeatedly, and the nervousness when he first met Liu Changqing seemed to gradually calm down with the airtight answer.
I thought my answer was perfect, and even if I checked the 20,000 bad food, he was not afraid, because he was indeed in the county government.
But Liu Changqing suddenly slapped the table and said sternly:
"Bold dog official! You dare to deceive your superiors and hide your subordinates, and make perfunctory excuses!"
"After you collect grain and grass, you collude with the grain merchants to exchange new grain for old moldy grains, and fill your private bags, thinking that you don't know!"
His meaning was already very clear. After getting the 50,000 shi of fresh grain and rice, Lin Youfu took the risk to make a profit, and replaced 20,000 of them, which was replaced by waste grain. The name was that it became moldy when it encountered tides.
This plan is indecent and has sufficient reasons.
But at this moment, how did Liu Changqing know! Lin Youfu was also frightened by this sudden harsh shout, so he tightened his body, and then he tried to calm down and said, "Great... sir, this is a slander, and he is accusing his subordinates of the emperor, and he is not convinced..."
