The Three Kingdoms: Summoned generals at the beginning, shocking Cao Cao

Chapter 311 Corrupt officials, undercover investigation

Seeing them tidy up, Liu Bian put one arm around the other: "Zhen's concubines can't just stay in the palace and enjoy themselves. You have contributed a lot to this reform, and the effect is also very good.

We must continue to maintain it in the future. A huge empire cannot be defended by soldiers alone.

Many management talents are also needed. They must be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and the princes will be entrusted when they become adults.It also needs a lot of talents. To manage your own feudal country well and take good care of the people is the minimum requirement I have for them. "

Bao Si: "Yes, Your Majesty, after returning to the palace, the courtiers and concubines will discipline the princes and princesses well, and organize the younger sisters to study hard."

Liu Bian's purpose is very simple, he just wants to jump out of the daily management work of the big man, and concentrate on embarking on the expedition to find the stele of longevity.

It would be best to find it before loved ones were old, and he wasn't sure what the effects and limitations of the elixir of longevity were like.The sooner you find it, the better, and the industrialization reform is only to accelerate the expansion faster.

The Han soldiers are responsible for occupying the land, and the culture is responsible for winning people's hearts. When the time comes, I only need to go on tour around the place to get reminders and find the stele.

This is a grand goal that requires countless people to complete and a lot of time.

Looking at Liu Bian's resolute and handsome face, Zhao Feiyan and Bao Si were fascinated by those eyes that were as deep as the starry sky.

Half a day passed, and the carriage hadn't gone far from Chang'an.Liu Bian ordered to get off the car to rest, and the servants quickly set up a tent, and everyone who was fed by Zhao Feiyan's snack pack had no appetite.

Liu Bian asked the servant to prepare some food, and then sat in the tent with Bao Si and Zhao Feiyan and waited.

Suddenly there was a noise outside, Liu Bian ordered the servant to go to check, and the servant reported after a while, saying that a group of people were going to Chang'an to file a complaint.

Liu Bian ordered his servants to bring the leader. An old man and a young man came in. They did not know Liu Bian's identity, and Liu Bian did not reveal his identity.

Arrange for the two to sit down and order the servants to serve them something to eat.Bao Si was careful and asked the servants to prepare some food for the people outside.

The two of them walked for a long time, they were already very hungry, thanked Liu Bian for his hospitality and started to gobble it up.

Liu Bian was not in a hurry, he waited for the two of them to eat enough before asking: "I heard from the servant that the two of you and your fellow villagers are going to Chang'an to sue, who and what are you suing?"

Just as the young man was about to speak, the old man tugged at his sleeve: "It's all folks talking nonsense. We are going to the front to find some errands, not to sue."

The old man saw Liu Bian's attire accompanied by two beauties, just looking at Liu Bian's aura was higher than that of the county magistrate he saw yesterday, he must be a very rich man.

I and my party are going to sue the prefect's family. If the crime falls into the hands of someone who is familiar with the prefect, I am afraid it will be difficult to get good results.

Liu Bian could see that he was perfunctory, so he asked the servant to take out the official certificate signed by Wei Zheng. The young man could read and knew that Liu Bian was the censor, so he told the old man about Liu Bian's identity.

The old man knew that the emperor of the Han Dynasty governed the country strictly and would not allow corrupt officials to run rampant in the village, so the officials of the Overwatch Council were all reliable people and would never engage in favoritism or fraud.

So he told what happened to himself and his fellow villagers: "My lord, we are villagers from Sanhekou Village, Huayin County, because the imperial court sent officials into the mountains to investigate and found copper mines.

Yu Kang, the son of the prefect Yu Yuan, hired us to mine copper mines. The copper mines mined at the beginning were transported by people sent by the imperial court, and the money was easily settled.

Later, an official said that copper mining was too slow and asked me to speed up the progress. I thought I could make more money, but there was no objection.

Later, a large number of slaves came to mine copper mines, and I lost my job.But mining copper mines is extremely tiring, so I will continue to farm. "

The young man was so anxious that he interrupted the old man and continued: "Later Yu Kang asked us to smelt copper for him in the village, and we had to smelt a hundred kilograms of copper every day. We knew that this was private smelting and refused to follow him, but we didn't know that he even indulged in evil deeds. The servant injured someone and beat my father to death. He exposed his body in the wilderness and was not allowed to collect it."

As he spoke, he fell to the ground and cried, and the old man patted him: "Dalang Wang was learning copper smelting techniques in the school in the city. We sent someone to call him back. Yu Kang didn't dare to hurt him, so he set fire to the village to destroy the evidence. Yiqianguan asked us to find another way of life, and we decided to go to Chang'an to file a complaint because we couldn't survive."

Just as Liu Bian was about to get angry after hearing this, Zhao Feiyan jumped up: "The law of the big man is strict, and the censor is upright, and such evil things will happen. Your Majesty... my lord, you must be the master for them."

"Get up, this matter has been taken care of by the official. Go and inform everyone, and go to Huayin instead."

Liu Bian was very angry that this place is not far from Chang'an, yet such evil deeds would happen.He asked people to take the two of them out to rest and called Zhou Bo.

Liu Bian was furious, and said coldly, "Zhou Bo, send someone back to Chang'an and tell Wei Zheng to go to Huayin."

"The minister takes orders!" After finishing speaking, he withdrew.

The two Qingqi rode away, and it took only half a day to arrive at Chang'an, which is sixty miles away from Huayin. It would be difficult to go with this group of old and weak women and children, so Zhou Bo sent people to look for carts around .

When everything was ready, Liu Bian led the people on the road. Instead of riding in a cart, he rode a Wuzhi and walked with Zhou Bo.

"You keep two people here for a while, and when Wei Zheng comes, tell him not to reveal my identity. I will pretend to be an official under him and just watch him handle the case."

"My lord, I obey." Zhou Bo saluted immediately and then slowed down to give instructions to the inner guard.

Huayin is not far away, and it is faster to go with a carriage.After more than two hours, Zhou Bo pointed to the hillside in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, after passing the hillside in front is the suburb of Huayin City."

Liu Bian nodded: "Tell everyone to speed up, we will rest after entering Huayin City."

Zhou Bo resigned and went to inform everyone that Liu Bian was about to urge Wu Zai to speed up when he saw a figure standing on the slope in the distance, looking towards this side.

His eyesight could not be better than that of Liu Bian. Liu Bian saw a man wearing leather armor and carrying a knife, which did not look like a good person.But this place is not far from Huayin City, how come there are bad people coming and going?
It seemed that Huayin's problem was not small, so Zhou Bo called over and pointed at Yuanchuan's dirt slope, "I don't think that man looks like a good man. I'm afraid there is an ambush on the dirt slope. He must be targeting the people who are complaining. You lead people to protect the empress and the people, and I will go and subdue them."

Although he knew that Liu Bian's force was invincible in the world, Zhou Bo did not dare to let him charge forward alone: ​​"Your Majesty, I will go and investigate first, and then I ask Your Majesty to make a decision."

Liu Bian was flustered with anger, and his hands were itchy.How could he listen to Zhou Bo's words: "Okay, let's carry out the order."

Zhou Bo didn't dare to persuade him anymore, he cupped his hands and said, "Your servant, take orders."

Liu Bian instigated Wu Zai, took the long spear handed over by Zhou Bo and sprinted towards the slope.
