Great Military Division

Chapter 275 Iron-blooded means to pacify Xinye!Liu Da'er's road is finally paved!

"Come on! Move all the copybooks to the hall."

"Hurry up, don't waste time."

Sure enough, only when the knife rests on the neck can it really work.

The soldiers of the guard clasped their fists together and said sonorously, "Qi Tingwei, when the villain left, they were sorting out the files, and the two of them kept writing, looking very flustered."

"Oh?"

How can Xu Wei not know that they are making a fake, but there is no evidence for this kind of thing, so naturally he can't talk nonsense.

He just turned his head slowly, his sharp eyes were like sharp swords, and he swept across the trembling two people: "You two really have a heart."

"Ting Wei really misunderstood."

At the side, Cheng Wei hurriedly helped to soften the accent, for fear that these two people with poor psychological quality would reveal their secrets: "I'm busy these days, and I really don't have time to sort out the files, so I can only fill in temporarily."

"Ah yes."

The master book below hurriedly agreed: "We have to measure the land every day, and we have to distribute farm tools to the people who signed up. We are so busy with all kinds of things, so we don't have time to record them."

A trick to coax ghosts.

Although it is not long before the responsibility letter for farming and production tasks is issued, it can be filled only by the memory of the brain. Unless this person has a photographic memory and the ability to memorize extensively, it is impossible to do it.

It is clear.

Look at these two cowardly guys, how can they be such strange people.

However, Xu Wei didn't bother to expose it. As a court lieutenant, he naturally knew the importance of evidence. It was difficult to convince the public to judge a case by guesswork, especially when it came to dismissing a county magistrate.

"In that case, let's present it."

Xu Wei didn't delve into it, but just waved his hand, motioning for someone to bring up the copy.

"Here."

The master in the palace didn't dare to hesitate, he got up and took the scroll and presented it with both hands.

Xu Chang took it and passed it on to Xu Wei before he stepped aside.

Xu Wei opened up the browsing.

Hey!
It really is.
Some words, the ink is not dry yet.

He carefully combed through the above data, and asked, "Cheng County, how many of you are responsible for measuring the land?"

Cheng Wei frowned, hesitating: "Ah, this"

He hurriedly looked at the master book, who blurted out: "12 people."

Cheng Wei hurriedly echoed: "The lower officials are not in charge of specific affairs, so I don't know. I hope the company will forgive me."

Xu Yan was not annoyed, and said with a light smile, "It doesn't matter, as long as someone can answer it, it is very clear in our farming production task responsibility statement that the county magistrate is the main responsibility, and the rest of the county officials are jointly and severally responsible."

Cheng Wei nodded with a black face: "Yes, it is true."

Xu Yan continued to browse, and at the same time ordered: "Find out the case file of Yutian in Xinye County, and I will check it carefully."

The chief bookkeeper nodded, and hurriedly searched for it: "Here."

"Recently, the list of common people who signed up for farming."

"."

"There is also a copy of the distribution of farm tools."

"."

"The situation of tax fields in recent years."

"."

Xu Wei is an old supervisor.

After all, supervision and reporting were originally the job of the governor.

Let alone a small Xinye County, what about the entire Jingzhou?
Isn't it still being pinched to death by Xu Yan?

No one knows better than Xu Wei the correlation between various data.

He doesn't even need to conduct on-site monitoring and visits, he can find out the contradictions from the correlation of the data, and even guess which ones are fake and which ones are real.

Just as he was checking the authenticity of Xinye's copywriting materials.

Outside Xinye City.

Yu Fan looked at the wasteland all over the land, no one was cultivating it, and his heart suddenly became cold.

Compared with the hustle and bustle of Wancheng at the moment, Xinye is like a big theater when the music is over, lonely and desolate.

Even, let alone comparing with Wancheng, even comparing with the Deng family and Yin family in the same county, they are still not angry at all.

This is not laziness, but inaction at all.

As long as there is a little movement, it will not become what it is now.

A group of people holding farm tools stood in the field, looking forward to it, but they were unable to go to work for a long time.

"Damn Xinyeling!"

Yu Fan took a deep breath, and the anger in his heart boiled completely.

"Yu Yushi."

Chen Dao clasped his hands and cupped his fists: "What should we do?"

Yu Fan let out a breath, and waved his big hand: "Go, go back to the county government office, if you don't dismiss this thief, I, Yu Fan, swear to be a man."

Chen Dao and the others accompanied them all the way, also filled with righteous indignation: "Here."

present.

Everyone got on their horses and galloped all the way to the county seat.

However, they have just left the fields, and have not yet set foot on the official road to the city.

When passing the roadside tea shop.

The cautious Chen Dao suddenly sensed something was wrong.

This tea shop clearly serves the people working in the fields and the passing merchants.

Logically speaking, having three or five customers is considered a very good business.

But rather.
There are two to thirty people in the tea shop.

Although they are all dressed in coarse linen and linen, with hoes and other things beside them, they look like common people in the fields, but each of them has a vigorous figure, far taller and taller than ordinary people.

of course!

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is.

When the group of them rode out from the rice paddies, the eyes of this group of people all focused on it. Many people took their hands from the food table and touched the bottom of the table, and a murderous look flashed in their eyes. .

"Yu Yushi, there is a situation."

Chen Dao grabbed the rein with one hand, and touched the first knife at his waist with the other.

"Assassination?"

Yu Fan sneered coldly, and reminded softly: "Chen Sima, remember to leave two survivors. I was worried that there was no way to kill me, and he actually came to the door on his own initiative."

"I try my best."

Chen Dao didn't dare to speak to death.

After all, it is not clear what the other party's situation is at present.

"Chen Sima, can you give me a spear?"

Although Yu Fan is a civil servant, he is good at using spears.

This point, even the late Chen Dao, has heard of it.

"I don't have a war spear, but can I have an iron spear?"

Chen Dao handed over his weapon casually.

"This"

Yu Fan didn't dare to take over.

Chen Dao naturally understood Yu Fan's scruples: "Hold it, if you can protect yourself, I will feel at ease."

Yu Fan then took the iron gun: "Don't worry Chen Junhou."

Chen Dao nodded: "That's very good."

drive-!
When he jumped forward with his horse, he only heard a "hands-on", and the ground was violent, and several tripping ropes were stretched from it, completely preventing the possibility of the horse flying forward.

Hee woo hoo-!
Chen Dao subconsciously reined in the reins, sat down on the horse, raised its head and neighed, and almost stood up. If the horse hadn't been equipped with the three treasures of equestrianism, and Chen Dao desperately clamped the horse's belly, he might have been overturned to the ground by him.

but
Fortunately, Chen Dao had expected it a long time ago, and he galloped forward, keeping a distance from his soldiers, giving Yu Fan and the others enough time to react, otherwise, even if the tripping rope didn't trip him, it would trip others.

Hee woo hoo-!
The loud and clear horse cries continued one after another, one after another.

Although there were only eleven war horses, the momentum was still frightening, causing a burst of smoke and dust.

With a clatter, Chen Daocang drew out the Huanshou knife, and shouted sharply: "The enemy is attacking, protect Yu Yushi."

The guards shouted in unison: "Here."

Immediately.

There are four people guarding Yu Fan in the center, each holding a weapon, to guard against death.

The rest of the people were on guard against the assassins flying up from both sides.

Chen Dao's reaction was nothing short of unpleasant.

His eyes flickered left and right, although he only glanced lightly, he saw more than a dozen broad-headed crossbows set up, shooting at the cavalry on the road in a wave that was almost crazy.

boom! boom! boom!
The crossbow strings vibrate, and the arrows of the crossbow are like stars.

This is by no means an ordinary grass bandit, it must be a fierce soldier in the army.

Chen Dao was taken aback!
He didn't quite believe it at first, it would be the magistrate of Xinye County who killed him.

But now, with the facts in front of him, he had no choice but to believe it.

It's crazy!

It's too crazy!
In broad daylight, the universe is clear, and it is unreasonable to dare to set up an ambush to kill the imperial court official.

The anger in Chen Dao's heart burned up, turned into a powerful force, and kept waving the Huan Shou knife in his hand.

Clang!Clang!Clang!
The blade is like a flower, swaying left and right.

He blocked all the arrows coming from both sides, none of them could get close to him.

but
Although Chen Dao could barely block it.

But the soldiers under his command were not so lucky.

Under the pincer attack from left and right, they could defend one side, but it was difficult to defend the other side.

In an instant, two people were hit, one was in the middle of the scene, reluctantly supported with pain, and the other was hit by an arrow from his horse, and rampaged uncontrollably in all directions.

"Damn!"

Chen Dao secretly chewed.

If it is one-on-one, or even one-on-two, or three-on-one, they have certain advantages.

But now, the opponent's strength is several times that of theirs, and they also have strong crossbows, which provide long-range fire suppression. If they defend passively, they will only end up being eaten away step by step.

"kill-!"

Chen Dao made a decisive decision and gave an order.

Immediately.

He turned his horse and turned around, taking advantage of the time when the strong crossbow reset the bowstring, holding the Huanshou knife, he rushed straight at the face, raised and lowered the knife, and kept waving it. The bright red juice flew around with the broken limbs and arms. appalling.

As if it was just a blink of an eye.

There were as many as five or six enemy soldiers who died in Chen Dao's hands, but Chen Dao didn't bother, he tore open a hole, and rushed straight at the crossbowmen in the back row, scaring the crossbowmen who were resetting their bowstrings. The gallbladder cracks and the soul flies, and immediately disperses like birds and beasts.

but
How could they outrun a war horse.

Chen Dao galloped his horse, his strikes were as fast as lightning, and charged all the way. After killing three or five crossbowmen, he turned his head and looked back. The guards were fighting fiercely with the assassins. People are extremely at ease.

Sure enough, you can protect yourself!

That being the case, Chen Dao can do whatever he wants.

drive-!
He galloped on his horse, raised his knife and dropped it, constantly harvesting the lives of the assassins around him.

After driving away the assassins on one side, Chen Dao turned his horse to the other side, and cooperated with Yu Fan to attack and kill the other assassins.

"Chen Junhou, catch alive!"

"rest assured!"

"County lieutenant, hurry up—!"

"County lieutenant?"

Chen Dao was taken aback for a moment.

Look up.

But seeing, a man flew on his horse and made a gesture to ride away.

Chen Dao slashed the soldier to death, and immediately clamped the horse's belly, and the horse sat down and neighed like a golden lightning, and rushed out:

"Thief, where are you going!"

"Eat a certain knife."

"what?"

County Wei was surprised.

He only felt a cold murderous aura, rushing in from the back of his spine, quickly flooding his whole body, and the cold sweat broke out all over his body, soaking all his clothes and armor in an instant.

Suddenly turned back.

Sen Leng's blade suddenly fell.

clang-!
A crisp sound.

The county lieutenant raised his knife to block, and his arms went numb, as if he had hit a mountain peak.

With just one cut, his mouth was ripped apart, and the pain of tearing made him lose his grip on the Huanshou knife in his hand, and it flew out of his hand, whirling and spinning.

"Damn!"

When the county lieutenant was startled, a shadow crossed his eyes.

next second.

He flew out from the horse, fell to the ground with a thud, and when he got up, a cold Huan Shou knife rested on his neck.

"do not move."

Chen Dao said in a cold voice.

"Humph."

The county lieutenant snorted softly, turned around abruptly, bright red juice spurted out from his neck, the artery was actually severed by the blade, he thumped twice on the spot, and then fell silent.

"Ah, this"

Even Chen Dao himself did not expect such a result.

He hurriedly turned his head to look at Yu Fan.

Yu Fan sighed: "Chen Junhou, I don't blame you for this matter, let's find another way."

Chen Dao frowned and asked, "Can Yushi have a solution?"

"Don't worry."

Yu Fan waved his hand to interrupt, and fell into deep thought: "Let me think about it."

Chen Dao nodded, not daring to speak.

*****
In the city, the county government.

Xu Yan picked up a pen to record some things.

About an hour later.

He put down the copybook, put the pen aside, took a long breath, and looked up at Cheng Wei: "Cheng County, do you admit your mistakes yourself, or do you want me to help you admit your mistakes?"

"This"

Cheng Wei frowned slightly, thinking for a long time.

During this period of time, although Xu Yan kept writing down something, he never spoke, which made Cheng Wei completely uncertain whether Xu Yan knew something or was deliberately bluffing.

Cheng Wei didn't want to sit still, but was worried about losing this opportunity, so he could only try to ask: "Ting Wei, is there something wrong with our copy?"

"Humph!"

Xu Yanxu snorted softly, and said calmly: "I have to admit that your Xinye County Chief Recorder's Office is still hardworking, and there are basically no problems with some accounting transactions."

Cheng Wei heaved a sigh of relief, but still did not take it lightly: "Tingwei, please allow me to say a word of justice. Although the imperial court's decree to revitalize the land is good, it is really not that easy to implement it in practice."

"Xinye County is very special. There are not only aristocratic families such as the Deng family, Yin family, and Lai family, but also wealthy families such as the Zhao family and Li family. Family."

Before the words finished, Xu Yan directly interrupted with a wave of his hand: "It seems that Cheng County doesn't intend to be honest. If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude."

"kindness?"

Cheng Wei's heart skipped a beat: "What does Tingwei mean?"

Xu Yan said softly: "Your account clearly states that you obtained 460 pieces of brand-new agricultural tools from the Kong family's iron shop in Xinye, plus the 830 pieces found from the Kong family in Xinye, making a total of nine. Thirteen hundred pieces."

"However, this number does not match the number of people who signed up for farming, and the actual number of agricultural tools distributed to the people also does not match, but it is clearly recorded in the copybook that the distribution has been completed."

"Cheng County."

Xu Wei's voice was flat, but it was sonorous and powerful, and said loudly: "How do you explain this?"

Cheng Wei was stunned, and suddenly said dumbly: "This, this."

The master bookkeeper hurriedly explained: "It's a mistake in the copybook, and it hasn't been distributed yet."

"Oh?"

Xu Yan immediately turned to the master book: "The implication is that the data on this account should match the actual surplus in the warehouse, right?"

The chief secretary hurriedly nodded: "It's right! It must be right!"

Xu Yan sneered: "Where is Xu Chang?"

"The end is here."

"Now send someone to the warehouse to check, quickly count the actual surplus, and then report to me."

"Here."

Xu Chang responded, and then said, "Cheng County, do you dare to send someone to lead the way?"

Cheng Wei was startled, and subconsciously rolled his throat: "Yes!"

"Where is Master Lu?"

"exist."

"Take people to the warehouse to check."

"Here."

Xu Chang winked at the people beside him.

The soldiers bowed their hands and immediately followed out.

but
This is not finished.

Xu Wei continued: "The Kong family has 630 acres of land in Xinye, but there are as many as 3 people in Xinye who signed up to cultivate the fields, which proves that a large number of people did not divide the fields. "

"Who are these people? Who is the one who distributed the farmland? Why isn't there any reflection in Cheng County's accounts? Could it be that the farmland hasn't been distributed yet?"

Cheng Wei knew he couldn't escape: "This"

Xu Wei continued to attack: "Even if the wasteland has not been opened up yet, and the labor force has not been fully arranged, the original tenants of the Kong family should be the same as before according to the government's decree. Where is your account?"

Cheng Wei was nervous, sweating and ecstatic: "It should be that we haven't had time to make statistics in the future. We have been busy measuring recently, thinking that it won't be too late to record after the farming is on the right track."

"Humph!"

Xu Yan snorted softly, but didn't expose his sophistry, and said: "According to the farming production task responsibility letter issued by the imperial court, each county should implement farming and land reclamation simultaneously according to the actual situation."

"Since you are measuring, where is the distribution record of the measured land? What kind of farm tools did the person receive? How many people are there in the family?"

At this moment, Cheng Wei's scalp was already numb, and his back felt cold.

He really couldn't believe it.

Xu Yan actually checked in such detail that even as the county magistrate, he was not quite clear about certain things.

A thin layer of beads of sweat appeared on Cheng Wei's forehead.

Facing Xu Jiao, he knew that he had no way to recover, and now he could only wait for the news from the county lieutenant. If he succeeded in one blow, he could use this to frighten Xu Jiao, divert his attention, and give himself a chance to make amends.

"Cheng County."

Xu Yan glanced down at his records, and continued to attack: "Especially this one, the twelve of you have measured 360 acres, even if you work in groups of three, there are four groups in total, you can do the math yourself. How much to measure?"

Cheng Wei suddenly faltered: "Ting Wei, the lower officials are afraid that they will not be able to do things well and anger the court, so they are obsessed with ghosts and want to pretend to be fake and get away with it."

"really."

"It's because"

Cheng Wei was thinking like lightning, trying to make an excuse: "It's because I haven't been able to adapt to this work situation. I beg you to give me another chance. When the next node arrives, I promise to complete all the node content on time."

"Humph!"

At this moment, there was an angry snort from outside the hall.

A familiar voice came into the main hall: "Cheng County, are you not doing well? Or do you want to deliberately delay the timing of farming and harm the imperial court's great farming business?"

Xu Yan looked up.

but see
Yu Fan and Chen Daozhi rushed in, and there was still a lot of bright red blood on his body: "Zhongxiang, you are... what's going on?"

Yu Fan took a deep breath, and his eyes fell on Cheng Wei, who looked terrified: "Tingwei should ask Cheng County. On our way back to the city, a group of assassins suddenly appeared and almost killed us."

"Cheng County!"

Yu Fan stared fiercely at the other party, and approached slowly: "Did you take the initiative to explain? Or should I explain it for you?"

Cheng Wei gulped, "I don't know what you are talking about?"

Yu Fan sneered: "Very good! I wish you wouldn't admit it."

"Marquis Chen."

"exist."

"Send someone to bring them up and let them face to face."

"Here."

Chen Dao cupped his hands and fists, and walked out of the hall.

When the voice of "Be honest, go quickly" sounded outside the hall.

In the hall, Cheng Wei let out a thud, and collapsed on the hand, before Chen Dao came back, he kowtowed one after another: "I'll do it! I'll do it all! The assassination of Yu Yushi was actually proposed by the county lieutenant, and the subordinate officials didn't intervene. "

"As for the delay in farming, it's because the lower officials are obsessed with taking stolen money from the Zhao family in Xinye. They want to delay for a while and force the tenants who escaped from the Zhao family to go back."

"but."

Cheng Wei hurriedly added: "These stolen money was not taken by the lower officials alone, but by the county lieutenant, master bookkeeper, meritorious officials, etc. I hope the court lieutenant will check it out."

hiss-!
Yu Fan had a look of disbelief: "That's right! It's a good thing that the county lieutenant didn't confess to you until he died. I didn't expect that you didn't support yourself, and you didn't call yourself."

"what?"

Cheng Wei stared like a bell, and his face turned green with anger: "Wait...how dare you lie to me?"

Chen Dao snorted coldly: "If you don't lie to you, you thief, how can you not call yourself!"

Cheng Wei's eyeballs almost burst: "I, I, I."

Xu Yan said coldly: "Heaven's evil is still forgiven; self-inflicted evil, you can't live! You just wait for the court's sanction."

"Tingwei!"

Yu Fan leaned forward and cupped his hands: "Xinye Ling failed to implement the relevant duties in accordance with the agricultural production task responsibility statement. According to the reward and punishment regulations, he should be dismissed immediately and investigated. The county lieutenant and chief secretary are equally guilty."

"it is good!"

Xu Yan made a decisive decision and said sonorously: "Yu Yushi quickly drafted a memorial and reported the specific situation of Xinye County to His Majesty. Xinye County cannot be left without an owner for a day, otherwise it will definitely delay the general plan of farming."

Yu Fan nodded, "Here."

Cheng Wei knew that he was powerless, and completely limp on his hands, without any movement.

Xu Yan ordered sonorously: "Xu Sima."

Xu Chang cupped his hands: "The end is here."

"Arrest Xinye County Magistrate Cheng Wei, chief secretary, meritorious officials and other relevant responsible personnel and bring them to justice. Send someone to send a letter to His Majesty at night, and send a new county magistrate to take up the post as soon as possible. There must be no mistakes."

"Here."

"Yu Yushi."

"exist."

"In addition to drafting the memorial, you should also draw up a notice and post it to reassure the people. Before the new county magistrate takes office, we cannot leave Xinye."

"Here."

　Thank you [System Vendor] for the reward of 100 coins!
