In the government office, apart from Qian and Huang, the other three patriarchs are all in their prime.

It is unavoidable that they are full of ambition when they are new to the family, and there is still a bit of unconcealable sharpness in their expressions. Fortunately, the three of them know how to restrain themselves and know how to measure. Everything is based on Qian and Huang.

Qian Yousen is over sixty years old, five feet tall, and looks like a kind-hearted old man, but in fact he is thoughtful and extremely insidious. Early in the morning, he specially asked someone to re-do the accounts in order to prevent the new official from taking office.

This meeting did not find anything wrong, turned around and gave everyone a look, and said goodbye to Wang Zhe with a smile and cupped hands.

Liang Zijun also wanted to go to the warehouse to check the government bank. Qian Yousen ordered the Huang family to hand over the key, "You are not here, and the county government affairs are discussed by everyone. If there is any mistake, just send someone to ask. We will cooperate to deal with it."

Liang Zijun nodded, and stretched out his arms to invite, "Since that's the case, Mr. Wang should also go together, so that there will be no discrepancies at that time, and it will be difficult to deal with the imperial court."

Wang Zhe was in a dilemma, so he had no choice but to stand up and show Lao Qian.

Qian Yousen sighed slightly sadly, "To tell you the truth, the government bank has been wiped out long ago. If the county hadn't raised funds on its own these years, even the city wall would not be able to repair it..."

"Yes, yes, if it weren't for the lack of money, we wouldn't be able to see the government office go to waste..." Huang Dao also replied with a sad face.

But after listening to several people's complaints, Liang Zijun sneered and turned to ask Wang Zhe, "Where have all the taxes been used over the years? Even if the former corrupted the law, he wouldn't have stolen the money of the past two years, right?"

Wang Zhe quickly questioned the five families, and Qian Yousen calmly explained, "In fact, due to the frequent floods in recent years, the villagers raised funds to repair the river, and the government office owed a lot of money, which has not been settled yet...so In addition to submitting the tax to the court, the rest is used to repay the debt."

"Without the approval from the county government, you dare to embezzle tax money without authorization. Is this matter known to the governor or not?" Bolin accused indifferently.

Wang Zhe hurriedly responded, "This matter is indeed allowed by the lower officials. Floods occur frequently, and the common people are in dire straits. If it were not for the generous help of these five families, the river course is still unmanageable. The lower officials have to collect money from the people for the sake of the people."

Liang Zijun waved his hand, there is no evidence, this matter can't be explained at all, "I don't want to pay attention to the previous bad debts. As for how much money the government office still owes you, you can ask whoever made the order back then."

Qian Yousen did not expect that the new magistrate would dare to renege on the debt, and he wanted to use this to give him a bad reputation first, but he never thought that this guy would be so thick-skinned that he could easily blame the Zhizhou... But, how dare they face Wang Zhe Want money?

The repair of the river course was created out of nothing, and the tax money was also handed over to Wang Zhe year by year. If this would reveal the matter, they would really be ungrateful.

At that moment, the five people pretended to be at a disadvantage and remained silent. Liang Zijun also let them put on airs, and asked, "In order to relieve the disaster of drought and flood, the imperial court specially issued an order to control grain. In the first year, tax was turned into grain, and you, Yu, were chosen." state boundaries?"

Wang Zhe originally wanted to get away quickly, but he didn't expect that this guy was not only thick-skinned but also a fine person. He faltered and said that it was not too early, and he had to go back to the government office to work.

How could Liang Zijun let him go?Open the granary in a big way, and start counting in front of everyone.

The more Bolin looked at the guilty and sweaty faces of the six people, the more he wanted to laugh. After they checked, he coughed secretly, "Is the number right?"

Liang Zijun shook his head pretending to be puzzled and sighed, pointing to the account book and asked, "Feng County has more than [-] households, and there are more than [-] people recorded in the book alone. Calculated based on three strong men and four women and children in each household, the amount of food is far away." More than these……"

"Is there any concealment?" Wang Zhe wiped off the sweat on his forehead, wondering inwardly.

Look at his young age, how can he be so familiar with people's livelihood?In the past years, all the people who have worked here are scholars who have been promoted regardless of their careers. How could they know the tricks behind the scenes? The reason why they framed the previous county magistrates for embezzling public funds was also because they suffered from this loss during the handover.

Qian Yousen hurriedly bowed, "The county government has no responsibilities, and some unruly people refuse to pay taxes, so we have nothing to do. In addition, each village collects its own statistics and pays taxes on a per capita basis. unavoidable"

"Ridiculous! Who dares to refuse to pay taxes? Come on, why don't you quickly arrest and serve him?" Liang Zijun shouted in a fake tiger's prestige.

The Yacha looked at each other in blank dismay, secretly thinking that the new county magistrate was a big official, and he didn't know what the master had in his hands, so why did he listen to him alone?

Wang Zhe knocked out his teeth and swallowed, and waved his hand to order ten government officials to go to the countryside to arrest people.

Liang Zijun picked up a wooden stick casually, punctured a bag of grain with all his strength, twirled the shriveled grains, and scolded, "It's so courageous to make up old grain!"

The five of them, together with Wang Zhe, were taken aback, and it was too late to stop them.Liang Zijun poked up, down, left, and right one by one, and at the bottom, he found a pocket mixed with wheat bran in disguise.

At this point, even Qian Yousen became uneasy. He lowered his head and thought for a long time before he had to say, "Feng County is poor in land, and this year's rain has not been harvested. It is really helpless for the farmer to shoddy it. Wait until the master sends someone to investigate. Surely we will know who did it..."

Want to change the subject and bully him?Liang Zijun said sinisterly, "Oh? I don't know which supervisor collected the grain? He dared to store it in the granary without even looking at it. Could it be that he knowingly committed a crime? Did he steal the money? Or did he receive some benefits in private?"

Wang Zhe flattered Mr. Liang for his insight, and then turned his head and shouted, "Who is in charge of harvesting the grain? It's useless for me to trust you so much. Let you monitor it yourself."

Qian Yousen's brows fluttered, and he quickly laid the blame on other five families. Wang Zhe immediately sent someone to arrest him and bring him back to the provincial capital for questioning. He promised again and again that he would thoroughly investigate the matter.

It's no wonder that there is no shady deed in such a confrontation.Liang Zijun knew very well that this matter would not be settled, so he didn't hold on to it, sold him to save face, and handed him over to the government office.

Although it was only a side branch that was caught, they were all brothers of the same root. Qian Yousen said with embarrassment that he was not feeling well, and wanted to resign one step ahead.

The other four families were also afraid of causing trouble, so they repeatedly pleaded guilty and asked to resign.Liang Zijun didn't stop him either, he just said that if there was any mistake, he would definitely come to the door to look for it.

The corners of Wang Zhe's lips twitched slightly and he bowed to accept the order, and five government servants were detained to wait for dispatch, and then he escorted them back with a flustered expression.

He thought to himself that this person is not only a powerful person, but also a cunning and well-informed person. It can only be seen from the fact that he looks at the overall situation and does not make troubles for petty gains. This person must not be an easy person.

But how could he, a scholar, know how to distinguish?Even he had a hard time recognizing Chen Liang at a glance, could it be that he really came from a farmer?

When the people left, Liang Zijun covered his nose and snorted, "I smelled musty early in the morning. Is this landlord for nothing?"

Bolin picked up a handful of wheat grains, rubbed them together and asked, "I guess we're set for this loss, what should we do in the future?"

Liang Zijun also understands that the five families are pushing the blame, and the taxes will definitely not be recovered.Let the Lord take on such a huge loss-making business, if he doesn't get it back from several families, he won't be Liang Zijun.

"Let's put this down first, the most important thing right now is to recruit manpower." Liang Zijun poked his head to look at the lazy clerk.

Counting the ten people who went to the countryside to arrest people, there were only fifteen servants. It would be an impossible task to regain Feng County with these unsatisfactory things. Zhe left the eyeliner on purpose.

At this time, there is an urgent need for confidantes, masters, yamen servants, eyeliners... If the two poor commanders want to get things done, there are more than one or two things to worry about.

"Let's divide into two groups..." Liang Zijun waved his hands and listened to his ears.

After hearing this, Bolin's eyes widened, and he shouted with doubts on his face, "Don't die!"

Liang Zijun quickly covered his mouth, and muttered in a low voice, "My lord, this is also a dangerous move by soldiers, and you will be born after you die!"

Bolin slapped his hand away in discouragement, and complained, "The soldiers and bandits are colluding, don't shoot yourself in the end with a rock!"

Liang Zijun sneered, he could only resort to extraordinary means in extraordinary times, and King Jing would take care of it for him, and he dared to do even the most stupid things.Besides, even though He Lianshan is a horse bandit, he has never committed any crimes of murder and extortion. He used his power to go to the mountain to command security and relieve the court of banditry.

Immediately, the two ordered the Yamen's servants to lock the granary tightly, arrange the carriages, horses and luggage, and stepped into the backyard of the Yamen's office.

These five families are really only doing superficial work, and the court can still see people, but the backyard is overgrown with weeds, how can people live in the collapsed houses?

Liang Zijun knocked off the old spider silk, waved his hands to blow away the dust in the room, clapped his hands and cursed, "Damn, clean up a clean place first!"

The two rolled up their arms and sleeves and scrubbed it again. Looking around at the main hall, which was the only place where people could live, Bolin sighed with a smile, "I didn't expect that you and I would also be crowded in a shabby room."

"Master, sleep on the bed!" Liang Zijun hugged the quilt and couldn't get up on the bed.

Bolin glanced at the ground, then looked up at the slightly translucent roof, lifted the luggage and pushed the man inside.

Liang Zijun shrank into the corner of the wall with his arms around the quilt, and exclaimed in a funny way, "I'm a married man, I don't have any special hobbies."

"Get out, what's wrong with you when I rarely sleep with you?" Bolin raised his eyebrows, and said to him lazily, "boring!"

"You have something to talk about, so let's talk to you~" Liang Zijun lay on his stomach and poked him, and began to plan the next plan with a broken mouth.

Bolin turned his back to him, muttering to himself, I really don’t know how Chen Qing endured it, this guy has changed a lot from his predecessors, he knew this kind of virtue, and he really regrets coming to this muddy water...

"Hello! Asleep?" Liang Zijun poked his head to see him sleeping peacefully with his eyes closed, and started scratching the wall boredly.

The father misses his wife... This broken ground, broken bed, and broken house, how can I make do if my wife is not here?

Early the next morning, as soon as the two of them went out, they were stared at fiercely by fifteen pairs of eyes.

Liang Zijun coughed secretly, waved his hands and told, "The government office is simple, you can arrange it yourself, and you don't have to wait for the meals, just go to the street to eat something by yourself."

The corners of Bolin's mouth twitched slightly, and he followed quickly, passing the hungry yamen servant who had spent the night in a broken house.

Everyone watched the unscrupulous magistrate go out, and turned to discuss "what should I do?"

"What can we do? Let's find an inn to settle down first, there is no way to live in this broken place!"

"Who will pay for the money?"

"It's deducted like that, even if you have money, you won't pay the shop for us"

"If you want me to say, let's forget about the pick, and save yourself from being angry with him here!"

"Bah! Forgot how the master explained it? Go back and take off this official skin!"

"Ahem... Let me ask first, how do you deal with these people?"

Just came out out of breath, staring at the thugs who had been captured, everyone slowly besieged the city, and beat them violently under the terrified expressions of several people.

After fighting enough, they were locked in the dungeon. As for bringing them into court?Wait until the magistrate thinks about it!

Liang Zijun strolled around the street without combing his hair or washing his face. After a long time of picking, he stopped in front of a slightly clean shop.

The clerk lost his rice spoon in fright, and ran back to the kitchen chattering. After a while, the owner came to treat him himself.He waited carefully while bowing and wiping the table. After breakfast, he rushed to send the God of Plague away without even daring to ask for money.

Bolin could somewhat understand the dialect, and said in a low voice, "He is afraid of being blamed by the Qian family, that's why he is so afraid."

Liang Zijun raised his eyes and looked around, and he saw pedestrians on the street avoiding them, and the shops closed their doors to thank customers. There were still a few shops waiting to see, but seeing him sweeping over, even the only two two-story buildings were snapped shut doors and windows.

Hehe... It was the first time he was treated like this, and Mr. Liang was overjoyed.

He could still laugh at this juncture, and Bolin really convinced him.

The two went back to the house, cleaned up and left the county government office to the government servants to take care of them. They took their horses and set off separately.

Bo Lin went to the provincial capital to find Li Shu and borrowed money, while Liang Zijun went to Panshanling to borrow money from the bandits!

Leaving aside Liang Zijun, Bo Lin came back after a two-day ride on horseback. He thought that Chen Qing must have been waiting anxiously, but he didn't expect that as soon as he entered the door, he saw a room full of people busy cleaning grapes.

When Li Shuhe saw someone enter the door, he smiled and raised his hand to greet him, and then asked Chen Qing for advice in a low voice.

A carriage stopped outside the door, and the man yelled in the local dialect, "Get out of the way! Didn't you see that this is about to unload?"

Bolin was dragged aside, and two assistants carried the huge clay pots to the yard.

Liang Jia skillfully led the staff to move to the backyard, and then greeted Bo Lin, "There is still leftovers in the kitchen, you can make do with it first..."

Bolin rubbed his nose and fetched water to wash his face. After eating leftovers, he paced and asked, "Drying grapes again?"

Chen Qing shook his head and asked with a smile, "Is Feng County going well?"

Bo Lin shook his head and smiled wryly, Li Shuhe said with a smile, "I guess you have to come back to find me, it's not too early to wait."

Bolin asked for a long time before he realized that it was fruit wine.

When they visited yesterday, Li Shuhe brought the mincemeal wine they had been thinking about for a long time.After hearing this, Chen Qing laughed and said that although the mincemeat is fragrant, it is far less mellow than the grapes. Li Shuhe was very interested after hearing this, and specially invited the old man who came to brew wine to brew wine together.

As there were still grapes to sell at the end of autumn, everyone bought all the grapes in the market to make wine, and bought wine vats to ferment them. By coincidence, they were caught by Bolin for this delivery.

"You really have a lot of time to spare, the other end of Feng County is almost on fire." Bolin smiled wryly.

"No hurry, I have a plan in mind, and I made an appointment with two classmates to go with me early in the morning." Li Shuhe said and went to help.

Bo Lin was in a hurry to arrest people and go back to the county, but Li Shu and Xingzi had to wait for the grapes to enter the urn before they would leave.

As a last resort, Bo Lin could only magnify his move, "That bastard Liang Zijun is climbing the mountain!"

Chen Qing and Li Shuhe looked up after hearing the words, and after a while they laughed in a low voice, "I guess I'm going to Zhao'an. Since Brother Liang dares to go, he must be confident."

"With his three-inch tongue, the dead can tell the truth," Chen Qing echoed.

Bolin sighed, where did you get your confidence?

Chen Qing smiled and said nothing, because he is my husband Liang Zijun~

Chen Qing really had a high opinion of Liang Zijun. After going up the mountain, before he could see Helian Mountain, he was beaten up by the reckless men under his command, and then hanged up by the second master to show the public.

Liang Zijun shouted his throat, and then called He Lianshan out.

"You dare to come here!" He Lianshan pointed at the dog officer with a machete.

Liang Zijun chuckled, "Is it true that your mountain is a dragon's pool and a tiger's den? If you dare to come, you will not be afraid of death!"

With a wave of He Lianshan's hand, the machete weighing more than ten catties chopped into the mud at an angle. If it wasn't for Liang Zijun's quick legs, he would have cut off his foot.

"Fuck you! Speak up if you have something to say! Why are you using knives and guns..." Liang Zijun hung his feet in the air, breaking out in a cold sweat.

The Erdangjia chatted with He Lianshan, stretched out his hand to wipe his neck, and Liang Zijun hurriedly begged for mercy. Damn it, a good man doesn't suffer from immediate losses. Sooner or later, He Lianshan will kneel down and call him grandpa!

Seeing that the dog officer was scared, everyone laughed and laughed, and got a signal from the head of the house before they kicked him into the lobby.

Being pressed to the ground, Liang Zijun presented the facts and reasoned, and seeing that he was still not convinced when he talked dry, he simply took out his gangster air and asked, "Do you still want to take revenge?"

This sentence hit He Lianshan's heart directly, and he stood up and cursed, "Ji Li Gua..."

Liang Zijun bared his teeth and grinned, he roughly understood, "If you want to get revenge, just follow what the Lord said, and I will ensure that you will kill the old dog Qian in an open and honest manner!"

Erdangjia persuaded, "Don't listen to the dog officer's nonsense, maybe he wants to lure us into the city..."

He Lianshan waved his hand, waved away the crowd, closed the door and talked with Liang Zijun for a long time, until the next morning, the two went out together.

"Little ones, pack your things and go to the city to celebrate the New Year!" He Lianshan roared.

A crowd of horse bandits surrounding the courtyard yelled in disbelief, and even the folks who came to join him didn't quite understand what the big master meant.

They had just had their birthday two years ago, so why did they say they wanted to go back?

Liang Zijun waved his hand to stop the chaos of the crowd, "Cough~ Heroes, listen to what Liang said first! I know you don't believe me and call me a dog official, but county officials are also human beings. Don't even you horse bandits come from poor backgrounds? Who said that horse bandits must be treacherous and evil? And who said that there are no good officials who are officials?"

After everyone listened, they gradually extinguished their noise, calmed down and weighed in their hearts silently.

"It's up to me whether it's good or not. It's up to the common people to wear the hats of good officials and bad officials. I came here today for no other reason. I just want to ask everyone, do you want to live a peaceful life? Do you want to hide on the mountain?" For the rest of my life, or bring down the Qian family and return home to live?"

After some questions, everyone felt an inexplicable feeling of returning home. Who doesn't want to live a peaceful life?If it weren't for being forced to survive, who would be willing to go up the mountain to become a bandit?

Liang Zijun continued to encourage and said, "If you don't want to leave, I won't force you. You can still stay on the mountain to plow wasteland and farm. As a county magistrate, I will rectify your names and take off the title of banditry. You are still under the rule of Feng County." Ordinary people!"

"Really or not?" Everyone started discussing, and He Lianshan took advantage of the situation and said, "The woman and the baby will stay on the mountain first, leaving a few brothers to guard the mountain, and the rest will go to the city with me as errands!"

"Business? What kind of job?" The second boss asked first.

"Hehe...of course I'm going to work as an errand in the county government office! From now on, our brother will no longer be a horse bandit!" He Lianshan grinned his white teeth, smiling so that even the scar softened a bit.

"Grandma, the horse bandit is on the job? Isn't the boss teasing us?"

"The bad guy is the master who doesn't need to pay money anywhere, he's much more arrogant than a horse bandit!"

Liang Zijun waved his hand to stop the gangsters who were beaming with joy. If they were not restrained well, the banditry might be hard to get rid of, and it would bring great trouble to Feng County in the future.

He Lianshan received the hint and solemnly stated the established rules three times.

After hearing this, everyone shouted, "This is not allowed, and that is not allowed. I am not comfortable being a gangster yet!"

Liang Zijun snorted, "If you are willing to be a bandit, I don't ask you to come back. If the servants still want to oppress the people, how is it different from Qian and Huang's family?"

The folks who came to join him immediately felt deeply, and they also had a little bit of a good impression of the new county magistrate.

He Lianshan scolded in a deep voice, "What is his grandma thinking? The state-owned state has family rules, and if an official does not benefit the people, he is a dog official! Yamen servants refuse to eliminate violence and peace, but instead bully men and women. What has it to do with local hooligans?" Separate? We are all fed up with this kind of uselessness, so we ran out to find a way to survive, if anyone doesn't want to live a peaceful life, let me go down the mountain now, we don't raise scum on this mountain!"
