Chapter 285 Key point

It's not that Yang Liang didn't have the intention to kill people and silence them, but if only a county magistrate died, and the master died again, it would inevitably arouse others' suspicion.

Besides, even if you keep this master, there may not be any trouble. No one will care if others speak lightly.

There is nothing wrong in the first place, so don't let yourself add any unnecessary extravagance and cause trouble again.

Yang Liang came to the county government office and sat down behind the public case. Under the hall was an old man wearing linen clothes and leaning on a cane.

Yang Liang said: "Who is this person in the hall? Where is his family name?"

"Sir, my name is Niu Changshui, and he is a native of Min'an County."

Yang Liang nodded and said: "You are quite old. Who do you want to sue when you come to this court today?"

"Old man, if no one else sues, the one who wants to sue is Long Xiaowu, the magistrate of Min'an County."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was stunned.

"Be bold!"

However, Yang Liang estimated that the matter was close to ten, and all that was missing was some evidence.

This Long Xiaowu is neither greedy for money nor lustful, and his living expenses are not considered luxurious.

"Sir, this leg was destroyed in the hands of Long Xiaowu."

Yang Liangxin is no more than a police officer in Min'an County, so it is naturally up to the Silver Knife Guard to find out the truth.

Yang Liang did not expect that there would be more than ten cases involving Long Xiaowu.

This man's surname was Zhao, and his name was Zhao Dahai. He was born with five big and three thick bodies.

Today's case, no matter what, must be investigated to get to the bottom of it. If you slander Magistrate Long, I will never forgive you. If it is true, I will not show favoritism.

As he spoke, he broke down in tears.

The master's legs trembled and he lay on the ground in fear, saying, "Sir, this matter has nothing to do with me. The student has no knowledge at all."

"Sir, the old man is from Sanshui Village, Min'an County. There are three fathers and sons in his family. He also has two sons, all of whom are adults.

Everyone in the hall was shocked when they saw that his calf was bare and had been cut off at the knee.

Yang Liang said: "Are you going to rebel?"

Yang Liang cupped his hands and said: "I have been ordered by the imperial court to make decisions for the people. I must be worthy of the blue sky above and the common people below.

"It's nothing, just digging for minerals and making some weapons."

Only the little old man was a blessing in disguise and escaped with his life because his left leg was broken by a boulder.

"Okay."

After Zhao Dahai saw Yang Liang, he knelt on the ground with a plop and said: "My lord, I am wronged. I don't know anything. It was all what Lord Long ordered me to do."

The old man knelt on the ground and slowly rolled up the trouser leg of his left leg.

When Yang Liang heard what he said, he knew that it was most likely true.

Come here, according to what this old man said, go and find out this matter quickly. "

But at the same time, he did not regard the people of Min'an County as human beings. He was completely treated as a pig and sheep to feed in his own pen. He bullied the weak and levied excessive taxes, which had already caused anger and resentment in Min'an County.

Yang Liang snorted coldly and said: "If you recruit me according to the truth, I may spare your life and tell you what you have done in normal times."

As soon as everyone heard this, they understood that Yang Liang had no intention of defending Long Xiaowu, so they stepped forward and complained one after another.

Yang Liang stretched out his hand and said: "Bring him to court. If I don't get to know today's case clearly, I won't let you throw dirty water on me. It doesn't matter if you slander me, I am a clean man who will clean himself up. Ke Long County Magistrate He has passed away and his name cannot be tarnished.

I have been on the run as a fugitive on the streets, and finally I got to the Imperial Envoy. I asked the Imperial Envoy to make the decision with me. "

Yang Liang opened his eyes wide. The Dasheng Dynasty had extremely strict control over this aspect. Large-scale casting of weapons was a serious crime of genocide.

After a while, the people sent by Silver Knife Guard to inquire about the information came back and brought back the person in charge of the mine.

Hundreds of people were found in his mine, all of whom were kidnapped by Long Xiaowu. Many of them died of starvation and exhaustion.

Wu Dao stood up, raised his hands and agreed.

Because there is an iron mine near Sanshui Village, which originally had an owner. After Long Xiaowu took office, he took possession of it and took my father and son abducted to mine with him. My two sons died of exhaustion.

Considering your age, I won't fight you today. You can drag me down with you. "

Come on, come on, tell me again, what do you want to sue Magistrate Long? "

"slow!"

"My lord, I am unjustly accused. I want to sue Long Xiaowu for forcing his life. You officials protect each other. Even when I get to the underworld, I will sound the drum and complain."

"weapon?"

Now the hall was surrounded by people, all looking at him. Today, I was supposed to investigate the case for Long Xiaowu. No matter how much I checked, I found Long Xiaowu.

Yang Liang's face was as dark as water, and he gave the master a cold look.

He raised his head and saw many people gathered in the hall, so he said: "I am sitting here today. If there is any grievance, please report it as soon as possible. No matter who is involved, I will get to the bottom of it."

Yang Liang said solemnly, "What exactly is going on? Tell me one by one?"

It's just that if Yang Liang doesn't come, they dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

Yang Liang said angrily: "Just now Magistrate Long was poisoned by a gangster, why are you pouring dirty water on him? Let me tell you, today I am mainly dealing with clues related to the murder case of Lord Long. I am not asking you to falsely accuse Magistrate Long." of.

"rebel?"

Zhao Dahai was startled and shook his head like a rattle: "Don't dare, don't dare, we are all sent to the border."

"What are you sending to the border for?" Yang Liang asked.

At this time, Wu Dao coughed at the side and winked at Yang Liang. Yang Liang nodded and said: "Take the prisoner into custody first, I will ask you questions another day."

Zhao Dahai was taken down, and Yang Liang came to the back hall. Not long after, Wu Dao also came in from the outside.

Yang Liang asked: "Botou Wu, you didn't seem to want me to ask further just now. I wonder why?"

"Your Majesty, I may know some of the key points, but I haven't had time to report them to you yet."

Yang Liang said: "Please enlighten me."

Wu Dao said: "Most of the errands I did before I were at the border, and I heard some occasionally.

Regarding border military expenditures, the imperial court would allocate some money every spring. Sometimes they were shipped directly to the border in the form of weapons and armor.

But the capital city is far away from the Northland, and the journey costs a lot of money. If we can build weapons locally, we can naturally save a lot of gold and silver. "

Yang Liang nodded: "I see, this way the court can also save a lot of money."

"It is true that it was saved, but it was not saved by the imperial court."

Wu Dao said: "The imperial court's expenses are still calculated by transporting them to the border. But these weapons and armor are sold in the capital, and they can be cast locally and shoddy.

I also know a little about Long Xiaowu. I heard that he is an old subordinate of border guard Wang Tong and was sent to Min'an County for the purpose of gaining experience. "

After all, Yang Liang didn't have much contact with officialdom, especially matters in the military. Wu Dao, on the other hand, was a veteran and chatted with Yang Liang about the details inside.

About how the border guards will eat empty wages, how they will pass off inferior equipment, how they will exchange the equipment issued by the imperial court, and even sell it to the enemy...

Yang Liang was stunned when he heard this and said: "These are all serious crimes of deceiving the emperor."

Wu Dao remained silent.

Yang Liangzhong suddenly understood that the current prosperous dynasty was a huge grass-roots team.

If we continue to investigate, everyone is guilty and everyone deserves to die.

Even myself is no exception.

Therefore, we should not investigate too harshly, and we must maintain this grassroots team.

"What I mean is that by the time this matter reaches Long Xiaowu, he is already dead anyway. As for General Wang at the border, we can sell him a favor. The Wang family has a deep foundation in the border and cannot be easily shaken."

Yang Liang also heard that the Wang family in the North was just like a local emperor.

Back then, Wang Ba first plotted to usurp the throne, but the Wang family neither participated nor opposed it.

After the incident, the Wang family's foundation remained intact and they still ruled the North.

I can't touch him yet. If I touch him, there will be no one to guard the North.

"Come on, that's it for now. Once the case here is sorted out, we should continue heading north."

"Sir, there is one more thing. Should we stay in Min'an County tonight, or should we return first?" Wu Dao asked.

"Just stay here. It's troublesome to come and go." Yang Liang thought for a while and said: "My food must be provided by the Silver Sword Guard himself. I don't trust it if it is left to others."

"Don't worry, sir, I'll take care of everything."

Yang Liang sighed and lay down on the Taishi chair to relax. Suddenly, he also offended many people.

Keep one eye open when sleeping and keep an eye open when eating.

Late at night, Yang Liang lit a candle and continued to read the case files on the floor today.

Tonight, he planned to rest here.

Suddenly, a gust of draft blew through the hall, and the candle on the table fluttered about to be extinguished.

Yang Liang suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. He was suddenly startled, thinking that he had just killed Long Xiaowu and occupied his place. Wouldn't he come to settle accounts with him in the middle of the night?

Then I thought about it, I wasn't afraid of him when he was alive, let alone dead.

Besides, he deserves to die in Long Xiaowu.

"My lord, my lord..."

Suddenly someone shouted twice, Yang Liang was startled, and white hair and sweat appeared on his face.

He saw the master standing at the door, looking at him with wide eyes.

Yang Liang said he was not afraid, but he was more or less afraid. After seeing him at this moment, he said angrily: "What are you doing here?"

"My lord, I have come to confess my crime to you."

With that said, the master plopped down on his knees and said: "I am guilty and I deserve to die. I know everything about Long Xiaowu's mining. This is the account book he asked me to keep, and it is all here."

After the master went down, he still felt uneasy after thinking about it.

It would be too easy for Yang Liang to kill him. Of course he would not report him, but would he believe it?

In the end, he made the decision to give in and let Yang Liang take him in as a dog.

Yang Liang opened the account book and saw that the master kept the accounts carefully. But what does this account book mean to me? If found out, everyone should be killed, even if there is no account book.

If you don't want to die, it's useless to have this ledger.

He sighed, leaned on the master's chair, and said, "What's your name?"

"Master Qi, the student's surname is Lan, and his name is Lan Fuzu."

Yang Liangdao: "You call yourself a student, do you think you have studied?"
