People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 282

Leaving Haorenju and walking on the cold street, Li Dingyi said with some emotion: "Huang Sicao's performance is a bit poor."

"Whatever you do, you have to bear the price." Kang Yao looked at Xi Ying who had been waiting for him on the side of the street, nodded, and ordered: "You go first, according to the order of the prince, first secretly monitor people Get up and take a look by the way to see who is in contact with him."

"Here!" Xi Ying bowed and agreed, then quickly got on his horse and left.

At this moment, the pedestrians on the street were completely gone, and Xi Ying's figure quickly dissipated, leaving only the empty sound of horseshoes on the street.

Li Dingyi withdrew his gaze, looked at Kang Yao, and asked with some uncertainty: "The county lieutenant suspects that he is in the county government, and there are still people from the Tianyin sect?"

"This is inevitable. As a member of the Fa Cao army, Huang Ziming has too many ways to attract people into the county government. Now is the time to fish them out." The appearance of the rough man in Haorenjuli before.

Li Dingyi looked at Kang Yao in surprise, his mind sank, he was another guy who hid himself very deeply.

For a long time, in the cognition of others, Kang Yao was just a big boss who only knew about military affairs, and it was difficult to achieve his ambitions in a place like Dongyang, but who would have thought that he would have a deep understanding of Facao's rules, It seemed that everyone underestimated him.

Not long after, the two had already returned to the county government office.

The county government office was brightly lit, and there were figures constantly busy in every duty room.

"As soon as the king of Nanchang arrives in Dongyang, besides Hao Canjun's case, the autumn tax this year will be the most pressing issue. Everyone will become nervous." Li Ding looked at Kang Yao and said in a low voice: "Brother Kang Xian, no matter what the truth is, , it is inappropriate to disclose the matter of Huang's participation in the army at this time, how about I find a side room and send someone to call him over to avoid human eyes for review?"

"What the master secretary said is reasonable. I originally thought of going in directly to arrest people and then interrogate them quickly. Now, according to the master book's method, I may be able to see something more." Kang Yao nodded with a face, and then said: "Everything is as it should be." Let the master arrange."

Under the light and shadow, the corner of Li Dingyi's mouth twitched undetectably, but then he said with a smile: "We still need to find a reason for this matter, why don't we use the matter of the nuclear field to call someone here."

"Then we have to borrow the name of the master book." Kang Yao bowed his hands very politely.

In the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the Yongye land and the Koufen land where the common people had to pay taxes, there were also many nobles and officials’ Xun land, job-fen land, and public land that did not need to pay taxes to the court. Therefore, Xun land often occurred. , the division of land by duties, and the occupation of common people's Yongye land by public land.

The prefectures and counties must report to the court every six months the number of Xuntian, Dufentian, and Gongxitian, which is a white book.

Every three years, the number of people's Yongye fields and Koufen fields are reviewed, which is a yellow book.

During the three years, the taxes collected from the common people were approved according to the previous review.

Throughout the three years, the prefectural and county government offices need to carefully re-check and review these numbers, but in fact, more often than not, they are fabricating the numbers to deceive the court.

Once every three years, there is enough time for them to compile the fake yellow book.

But today, Li Xuan came.

Huang Ziming, even though he was suspended from the post of law cao because of the inappropriate handling of Hao Yuan's affairs, he still retains the power of this cao.

On the one hand, it was because Li Xuan wanted to stabilize Huang Ziming, on the other hand, it was also a matter of Hu Cao, and it was really urgent.

Among the Dongyang County Yamen, Li Dingyi had the most dealings with Huang Ziming in this regard, and it was best for him to take the lead at this time.

Li Dingyi and Kang Yao left quickly, but they didn't notice that a thin figure was hiding behind one of his pillars, eavesdropping on their every word and deed.

……

Soon, Li Dingyi and Kang Yao found a remote value room.

After some discussions between the two, Li Dingyi called the palm book under him, and Kang Yao also called a sergeant under him. leave at the same time.

At this time, Kang Yao and Li Dingyi looked at each other with deep meaning in their eyes.

The window of the duty room is open, and through the window of the duty room, one can clearly see the diagonally opposite corridor.

Although their value room is remote, they can see most of the courtyard.

There are several weeping willows planted in the courtyard, and there are two small flower beds in the center, in which some flowers and plants such as peonies, peonies, chrysanthemums are randomly planted.

Those were done by the county magistrate Huang Jin, but since he was sick and recuperated, no one cared about them.

Gradually covered with weeds, looks green.

After a while, Huang Ziming came out from behind the palm book with a calm face, but kept his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.

Under the colonnade on one side, a soldier stood behind, just in the blind spot of Huang Ziming's sight.

But Huang Ziming didn't seem to care about this, he seemed to be thinking about something all the time.

Kang Yao looked at Li Dingyi subconsciously, Li Dingyi slightly shook his head in doubt, his face was unusually solemn.

Suddenly, there seemed to be some unexpected sound, and Li Dingyi's palm book subconsciously looked towards the grass on the right.

At this moment, suddenly, a green silk thread sprang up from the grass, and rushed to Huang Ziming's throat like lightning.

The next moment, Huang Ziming yelled in pain, covered his throat with his hands, and fell sideways on the ground. He only twitched twice, and then there was no more movement.

With a "bang", Li Dingyi had already knocked open the door, rushed out with a face full of panic, and shouted loudly at the same time: "What happened, what is going on?"

In the other duty rooms, many people were not disturbed by Li Dingyi's voice, and opened the windows and doors one after another to stick their heads out.

When they saw Huang Ziming lying on the ground, everyone's expressions changed.

A while ago, Sihu joined the army and Hao Yuan died, whether he died of illness or was murdered, he was dead. Now with the addition of Huang Ziming, who joined the army from justice, what happened to them in Dongyang County.

If Huang Jin, the county magistrate who was sick and recuperating, was included, one-third of the official affairs of Dongyang County had been lost.

At this time, the county Wei Kangyao suddenly walked out with a sullen face.

"What are you looking at? Are you already busy with the things at hand, why don't you hurry back?" Kang Yao looked at everyone with cold eyes, and the next moment, the windows and doors were closed one after another.

This is the county government office, and those who can survive here are extremely sensitive people, what things should be involved in, what things should not be involved, and they can't even ask, they are very clear.

Although all the windows were closed, Kang Yao knew that someone must be watching their every move through the windows.

Kang Yao walked up to Zhang Book step by step, glanced at the body bent over the ground, and asked coldly, "What's going on?"

"Snake, is there a snake?" Zhang Bu pointed tremblingly at the flowers, and said with an ugly face; "Just now a snake suddenly flew out of the flowers, and then it bit Huang Canjun's neck..."

"Where's the snake?" Kang Yao looked at the grass beside him, his gaze was full, but he couldn't find anything.

"It was still there just now." Zhang Shu's face twitched several times in a row, subconsciously going to look for it.

"Aren't you afraid of death?" Li Dingyi suddenly let out a low voice, Zhang Shu's footsteps immediately stopped, and he looked at Li Dingyi a little at a loss.

At this time, Li Ding looked at Kang Yao with a calm expression: "Lieutenant Kang, the man is dead now, the most important thing is to carry him down first, and then find the assistant."

"Okay, let's do it like this." Kang Yao agreed without the slightest hesitation, then looked around, and said in a low voice, "Come on."

An order was issued, and the next moment, several sergeants had already turned out from behind the pillars, and then walked quickly in front of Kang Yao, clasped their hands and said, "County lieutenant!"

"Carry him to the house over there." Kang Yao pointed at the house where they were before, and several soldiers at the scene immediately lifted the body and quickly walked towards the house.

Li Dingyi followed Kang Yao and walked towards that room together, his face was a little embarrassed.

Ever since Kang Yao and Xi Ying took over the guards of the entire county government, there were countless people watching carefully.

The arresters who were supposed to be in the county government office were all kept in Haorenju by Li Xuan and Gu Tan at this time.

The manpower that Li Dingyi can use is pitifully small, and even if he is not careful, he will expose himself.

Looking at this room sitting at the edge of a row of value rooms, Li Dingyi breathed a sigh of relief.

At the beginning, he chose this value room because although this value room was remote, but when he came here, he had to go through other value rooms, and if something happened, it would immediately alarm everyone.

Lifting his feet, stepping over the threshold, looking at the corpse placed in the innermost part of the room, Li Dingyi was a little surprised, but he still walked in and said: "Lieutenant Kang, should I call Wu Zuo now. "

"No need, the performances that should be performed have already been performed, so there is no need to continue." Kang Yao turned sideways and looked at Li Dingyi.

A bad thought immediately rose in Li Dingyi's heart, he subconsciously looked at the corpse on the ground, and then his face changed drastically.

Some corpses that were in the blind corner of his line of sight just now turned their heads, and their faces clearly appeared in front of his eyes.

"Xi joins the army!" Li Dingyi's expression changed instantly, he turned around suddenly, and strode towards the door.

However, before he reached the door, two figures appeared behind the door at the same time.

One of them was Huang Ziming, who should be lying on the ground at this moment.

And the other one, in Li Dingyi's impression, was Gu Tan, the county magistrate who was left in a good place by Li Xuan.

"Gu Xiancheng, why are you here?" Li Dingyi's face had become extremely ugly, and he couldn't help taking several steps back.

"Of course it's to see you reveal your true colors!" Gu Tan glanced at Li Dingyi, then walked in directly.

Huang Ziming followed behind him and walked past Li Dingyi, staring at him all the time, eyes full of resentment.

Li Dingyi didn't say anything else, he took a deep look at Huang Ziming, and then looked at Gu Tan.

"Sima, I don't know where the King of Nanchang is now. He designed all of this, right?" Li Dingyi stared at Gu Tan. Before this evening, everything in Dongyang was under his control, but Now, everything is out of his control.

The only variable in this process is the Nanchang County King Li Xuan who suddenly came to Dongyang.

Li Dingyi was absolutely sure that it was the Prince of Nanchang who planned all of this behind the scenes.
