I write novels to become a saint

Chapter 191
"What did these savages eat in your shop?"

Lin Qian's title made the barbarians around glared, but they didn't dare to act rashly. Lin Qian's actions three days ago made them understand that the new government lord was not easy to mess with.

"The beef, and the rabbit meat, are the hares that the Orion outside the city just killed yesterday!" Jin Di blurted out, and this demeanor made Lin Qian basically sure of the truth of the matter.

At this time, Lin Qian looked at the barbarians and asked, "Have you ever eaten these things in his shop?"

"no!"

The barbarians insisted, and looked at Lin Qian confidently. They did eat it, but does Lin Qian have evidence?
Without evidence, how dare Lin Qian do anything to them?
They just wanted to use this method to attack Lin Qian's prestige, making what Lin Qian said to the public three days ago like fart, I just bullied you guys, what's wrong?What can you do with us?
You can't even keep the people of Daqian, will they trust you in the future?
"Okay, I'll give you one last chance, have you ever eaten these things in his shop?"

Lin Qian's calm expression made them feel a little trembling, but they still insisted, "No, we have never eaten beef or rabbit meat in his shop, not to mention rabbit meat, we have never even seen rabbit fur!"

They were sure that without evidence, Lin Qian couldn't do anything to them. They were not the ordinary barbarians a few days ago. Stationed in Hongdu to provide protection for the barbarian merchants, if there is no evidence, if they make any mistakes, Zuo Xianwang will not be polite to this mansion.

When the time comes, the new government lord will be left without food, and he doesn't believe that the government lord will not even care about his own future.

"very good!"

Lin Qian showed a sneer, and the cold light in his eyes pierced the hearts of these savages like a sharp knife, giving them a chill and an ominous premonition.

"Brother Zhao, are you proficient in sword skills?" Lin Qian looked at Zhao Mengyuan, the Governor of Xuanjing Division, who was protecting him.

"It's okay!"

Zhao Mengyuan stroked the long knife around his waist with his left hand, this sentence is still modest, Xuan Jingsi's standard weapon is the long knife, and Zhao Mengyuan is famous for his sword skills, how could his sword skills be just Shang Ke.

"it is good!"

Lin Qian nodded, looked at Xuan Jingsi who escorted the barbarians over, pointed at the barbarians, "Go, take off their clothes!"

Seeing Lin Qian's serious expression, the barbarians panicked, "You can't kill us!"

"We are the subordinates of King Zuo Xian!"

"You can't kill us without proof!"

These savages immediately revealed their identities, and at the same time, the savages surrounding them also stretched their hands into their clothes, intending to save people if there was a disagreement.

"When did I say I was going to kill you?"

"I'm not going to kill you, I just want to get some evidence from you."

"Brother Zhao, I'm sorry, cut them open and see if they ate rabbit meat today!"

As Lin Qian waved his hand, hundreds of Xuan Jingsi rushed out from all directions. Every barbarian watching had two Xuan Jingsi staring at them, completely controlling them.

This change made a barbarian old man in the crowd turn pale. He forgot that although they have been tyrannical and domineering in Hongdu these years, this place is after all a place for big gangsters!

"My lord, I don't want any money for this meal, my lord, why don't we just forget about this matter!"

Seeing this scene, Jin Di, who complained, panicked and said hastily.

How could a normal store dare to sue these barbarians, even if he wins the case, he will face revenge from these barbarians in the future, he is just a pawn arranged by the barbarians.

Seeing that his master was about to be killed, he naturally just wanted to stop it quickly, otherwise, he would also face the barbarian's revenge in the future.

Xuan Jing Si Qianhu also stepped forward to dissuade them, "They are the subordinates of King Zuo Xian, if they attack them for no reason, then King Zuo Xian will blame them, maybe they will send their troops south."

The battle ten years ago seemed to have completely broken their bones, and now when it comes to the barbarian army, they can't help showing a look of fear.

Lin Qian was not afraid, if the barbarians were really that powerful, they would have sent their troops south and wiped out the country long ago, so why did they wait until now without any movement.

Even better, Uwe showed his timidity at the Dagan Poetry Conference, and told him clearly that the barbarians are not that strong!

He shook his head firmly and looked at Jin Di, "Family has family rules, state has state laws!"

"Now you say that they ate your food, not only refused to pay you, but also injured you, and they refused to admit it, so I had to disembowel them to see if there was any rabbit meat in their intestines. They have rabbit meat in their intestines, they deserve what they deserve!"

"If you can't find the rabbit meat, you are making a false accusation, and you will have to kill for your life!"

Jin Di froze in place immediately, he didn't expect Lin Qian to be so tough.

The lips of the savages on the side also trembled. At one point, they even wanted to admit that they had eaten for nothing.

However, Zhao Mengyuan's knife is faster!

Before they confessed their crimes, the knife flashed, and the stomachs of the four savages were cut open, and their white intestines flowed out all over the floor.

Rao the people of Hongdu who have a tough folk style, and even the barbarians who kill people like a routine, they still shudder when they see this scene.

Even the Xuanjing divisions at the side couldn't help but be moved by it.

Only Lin Qian still looked at those white intestines with burning eyes.

"Is there rabbit meat and beef in it?" Lin Qian asked.

"Yes, there are a lot of meat scraps, it should be rabbit meat and beef!"

There is a special verification operator who is turning his intestines and gave a positive answer.

"Okay, since it's been verified, they deserve what they deserve."

Lin Qian didn't look at these savages any more, and turned to look at Jin Di, "Jin Di, it's because of my lax discipline, that there are such bullying people in Hongdu. I'll pay for your meal money tomorrow." Send someone to take it to you."

"In the future, if you have any injustice, you can come to the government office as much as you want, and I will deal with it impartially!"

After Lin Qian finished speaking, the audience was silent. Many of the onlookers were full of thoughts, and their gazes at the barbarians around them became hesitant.

The barbarians, on the other hand, were terrified and thought of going back to the barbarians. They looked at the people around them like frightened birds. They had done a lot of bad things in recent years. If they were really investigated, they would be very worried about their own safety.

After all, my compatriots were disemboweled after eating a few free meals. According to this punishment, the things they did were enough to kill them a hundred times.

The farce ended here, and everyone dispersed, but it was foreseeable that this matter would soon spread throughout Hongdu. Lin Qian, the new official's second fire, had already ignited.

"As expected of Lin Tiandao, he is truly a wizard in solving cases!"

After the crowd dispersed, a middle-aged man in white stood up and looked at Lin Qian with a smile. It was Li Mubai who had a friendship with Lin Qian in the southern border army!
"Brother Jian'an is here!"

"Congratulations, brother Jian'an, for breaking through to rank five."

Lin Qian also showed a happy smile, the person he was waiting for finally arrived.

Li Mubai was also very happy, and bowed to Lin Qian again, "I would also like to thank Lin Tiandao, if it weren't for the song "Dead Water" that gave me such a blow in the face, I would have to stay in Annan for the rest of my life, and die alone."

Lin Qian didn't refuse either. The two had communicated on this matter before, but he looked at the girl next to Li Mubai curiously, and asked curiously, "Who is this?"

This girl is wearing a light blue long dress, has clear and bright eyes like autumn water, exquisite and three-dimensional facial features, and an indescribable temperament on her body, as if people can smell the aroma of books, she is indeed a rare beauty.

"Little girl Lin Yuhan, I met Master Lin."

Without Li Mubai's introduction, Lin Yuhan introduced herself.

Originally, she was planning to go to Chang'an to promote new poems, but she was completely impressed by Lin Qian's talent and character at the Dagan Poetry Conference. After hearing that Lin Qian was going to work in Hongdu, she chose to return to Hongdu without hesitation. Here, on the way, I happened to meet Li Mubai who came to Hongdu and also liked new poems. The two hit it off immediately and had a very happy chat, so they went together.

They didn't expect that they all came to look for Lin Qian.

Lin Qian took a second look at Lin Yuhan, he often saw this name on the new list, so he was naturally very familiar with it.

Although there may be many people with the same name in the world, when he sees Lin Yuhan, he knows that this Lin Yuhan is the Lin Yuhan on the new list.

"Reform the tax system?"

In the back hall of the government office, Lin Qian confided to Li Mubai his thoughts on reform.

Lin Yuhan did not appear here. Although Lin Qian knew that she had some talent for writing new poems, she was not as knowledgeable as Li Mubai after all. The reform was extremely important, and it was impossible for him to reveal it to a stranger he just met.

"I'm afraid it won't go so smoothly!" Li Mubai frowned.

Lin Qian's tax reform system, to put it bluntly, is to centralize local finances to the central government. Specifically, in Hongdu Prefecture, it means to centralize the finances of dozens of counties in Hongdu Prefecture to Hongdu Prefecture for unified deployment by the governor.

The total amount of property in hand is reduced, and the space for maneuvering is naturally reduced. The officials in the counties of Hongdu Prefecture are not stupid, and they naturally cannot agree.

Confucian scholars studied hard for ten years, passed the imperial examination, and wanted to be an official. For what?
Of course, it is not ruled out that there are people who have a heart for the world, but more, it is just profitable.

Now that Lin Qian's tax reform is taking food from a tiger's mouth, it's no wonder they agree.

"So we have to control the army first!"

Lin Qian said categorically that power comes from the barrel of a gun, and he will never forget the teacher's wise words.

Hongdu Mansion is an important frontier defense town. Apart from Jinyiweiqian, there are also guards stationed. There are six guards outside Hongdu Mansion alone, with more than [-] soldiers. If you can control these [-] soldiers, then in Hongdu Mansion There will be no hindrances to the reforms!
