The rise of the prince

Chapter 440 Zhang Gui's End
How could he not panic, things were going well at first, he made his fortune, he had so many backers behind him, no one was afraid, his gift was also accepted by Pingnan King, and Pingnan King didn't seem to have a thorough investigation at first Meaning, just sweep the streets and wipe the walls all day long.

He understands this point, after all, it is right to love cleanliness, as long as he doesn't make any big moves, the more chaos in Jiangzhou, the more lucrative people like them are, and if there is no chaos, it will be difficult for them to start.

But for some reason, it has only been two months, and he is still happy, drinking and listening to music everywhere, and the wind direction has changed!

His brother-in-law, Rooster, had fewer and fewer people, and it became more and more difficult to mix. Once everyone obeyed the law, they would not dare to show off because they were too conspicuous!
Zhang Gui is not an idiot, if one hundred people were robbed in Jiangzhou City in one day, it doesn't matter if fifty of them were done by his brother-in-law's subordinates, because the government can't manage it, and if there are too many people, they can be fooled.

But if only two people in Jiangzhou are robbed every day, and one of them is done by his people, then something will happen!Even if there are people above, once or twice is fine, but if there are too many, the above will not be able to accommodate him.

But in Jiangzhou now, let alone every day, even every three to five days, such a thing does not happen once!
The people below dared to do it, and when someone shouted, not to mention the poor officials, the people around couldn't get used to it, and surrounded them all at once, and couldn't get away at all. Several people below have been taken down because of this.

What makes his scalp tingle is that King Pingnan seems to see that the problem lies in the prison, and he has nothing to do with locking everyone in the Xiangjun camp outside the city.

What puzzled him the most was that a large number of people under him and his brother-in-law were caught for things like refusing to pay for food, petty theft, littering on the street, and fighting due to vindictiveness. The yamen servants under him seem to have eyes of the sky, and they are sure to catch every one!

In just over half a month, the subordinates were rushed to get close to half of them!
Zhang Gui was so frightened that he repeatedly told his brother-in-law to discipline his subordinates, to pay for meals, not to do petty theft, not to throw things in the street, not to fight with others, not to
But after the instruction, he regretted it instantly, patted his head and was clever, mother, what is the difference between this and those ordinary people?
Now he was in a cold sweat and shivered in his heart, this is not giving them a way out!
How did King Pingnan do it, how did he do it? He couldn't figure it out, but he felt cold in his heart, trembling with fear, yes, if they couldn't do those things, then what's the difference between them and ordinary people?
King Pingnan cut off their way of life from the root!But he realized it later.
The more Zhang Gui thought about it, the more afraid he became, and the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't sleep
After thinking about it, he stood up and told his wife, "Go, go and pack up."

His wife was cleaning the hall, and she was a little confused when he said this: "What are you doing?"

"Don't ask too much, just clean it up if you tell me, we are moving, don't take those useless ones, bring more silver, and your valuable jewelry, go, hurry up." He said while pushing, let The wife went to clean up.

"I'll go and tell my little brother." The wife turned her head.

Zhang Gui waved his hand: "You don't have to worry, I'll go to him personally and tell him, pack up your things!" He couldn't wait any longer, and hurried out the door.

As soon as he went out, he hailed the sedan chair and hurried away, but he didn't notice that someone on the other side of the river had already taken his whereabouts into his eyes.

"My lord, Zhang Gui, the cell leader, married one room at first and had two concubines. Later, his wife died early, and his death was a little unclear. It is said that he went out to buy vegetables in the morning, fell into the water and died, and then the eldest sister of the rooster married I got Zhang Gui, the cell leader, and became a regular wife." Zhou Tongzheng reported to Li Xingzhou in the lobby of the transfer envoy's government office.

"However, I asked in great detail." Li Xingzhou said.

"Thank you, Lord, for your compliment. At first we couldn't inquire about it. We inquired near the riverside building, and almost got called. Later, we thought about going to the camp outside the city to inquire. Many of the prisoners inside knew about it, because many of them were Working under Rooster." Zhou Tong said proudly.

"However, his ex-wife's death is okay. It was Xia Tian. There are many people in the morning, and there are people coming and going by the river. How could he just watch people drown?"

Li Xingzhou nodded: "From this point of view, Zhang Gui, the cell leader, can't run away. He is quite smart. Taking advantage of his position, he used his position to scoop up people from the prison to curry favor with the higher authorities to protect him. Everything. I also know that I am avoiding suspicion and let my brother-in-law handle it."

"My lord, if this kind of person is not removed, Jiangzhou will have no peace."

Li Xingzhou naturally knew that if the criminals were not punished, it would be the greatest contempt for the law, and the government would lose its prestige. As time passed, no one would listen to it, and chaos would begin.

"Let people keep an eye on him, especially these few days." Li Xing said: "It's time for him to be anxious. When he is in a hurry, he will start begging for help. Once he asks for help, he should start using the accumulated upper-level connections. Where he went and which house he went to in the past two days, he must remember clearly, and there must be no mistakes."

"Yes, don't worry, my lord, we are the best at doing these things!" Zhou Tong vowed.

Li Xingzhou thought for a while, and then told him: "It doesn't matter if you are discovered, but there is one thing to remember, that is, you must memorize everything. If you really can't see clearly, you should get closer. If you leave Zhang Gui, you should understand yourself." situation."

Zhou Tong was a little puzzled, but he still nodded and wrote it down.

When Zhou Tong left, He Qian, who had been hiding behind the screen for a long time, rushed out, stepped forward excitedly, and asked him puzzled, "Why aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

Li Xingzhou smiled and sat down on the official chair: "I'll tell you when I pour you a cup of tea."

He Qian hesitated for a moment, and poured tea for him with a pouted mouth. Li Xingzhou took a sip comfortably and said, "When catching corruption, the most important thing is evidence. A mouth is not enough. It just so happens that I have plenty of evidence."

"What evidence?" He Qian asked him curiously.

"They bribed me with money."

"." He Qian was speechless, "Are you stupid? Then you are also guilty of accepting bribes, which is not clear."

"Why can't you tell?" Li Xingzhou smiled wickedly: "It took me two months to eat those rice noodles, and then I found out that there was silver in it. I used the tables and chairs for two months, and the tables and chairs just happened to be broken. Did you find out that there is silver in it?"

"It doesn't make sense, it weighs so much, even a pig knows it's wrong." He Qian gave him a white look, and then squeezed his chair and sat down.

"Little girl, politics is not about investigating crimes. All I want is a reason." Li Xingzhou rubbed her little head with a smile.

He Qian dodged: "You're just a little girl, so what if I'm not young anymore, you can't scare them."

"That's right, I'm just scared. Sometimes, being scared can scare people to death."
