I was a salted fish in ancient times

Since that night, Xiao Shan has left everything to Zong Qing.According to his original words, since he doesn't know how to investigate cases, he naturally needs Zong Qing to do more errands.

Wait for Zong Qing to finish his investigation and give him the result.

Zong Qing also knew that Xiao Shan didn't want to get too involved in these matters.

The result that the emperor wants needs to be obtained from him, and Xiao Shan's too much participation is prone to accidents.

Xiao Shan knew very well in his heart that as long as Zong Qing was still that pure minister, he would have to report the matter of Liangzhou truthfully. This time, the matter of Liu Jingxuan had very little impact on the crown prince.

Zong Qing felt that he could not understand Xiao Shan more and more.From these few days of contact, it can be seen that Xiao Shan is not really stupid, on the contrary, he is smart, but he just doesn't follow the right path.

The methods she uses are also too extreme, and she doesn't want to suffer at all, and she has the kind of temperament that gets by, and doesn't have much pursuit of other beauties of power, status and so on.

Even he, a pure minister, has clear eyes and a bright heart. He was born in the royal family. As a prince, everyone's eyes will be fixed on the position under the emperor's buttocks, Xiao Shan is not.Apart from making good friends with the prince, he has never made friends with powerful officials, and his relationship with his grandfather's family is ordinary, and he acts willfully.Scholars don't like him, and no one standing in the hall has read a few books, which also means that Xiao Shan is not liked by scholars.

But after thinking about it, this may not be a smart choice.

The emperor valued the crown prince. As long as the crown prince ascends the throne smoothly, Xiao Shan will become the most proud and trusted prince of the new emperor. The time when the spring breeze will be proud will be far more than the time when fighting is not necessarily successful.

Maybe smart people are often people like Xiao Shan who don't have much desire.

Although the emperor often said that Xiao Shan was stupid, ignorant and incompetent, the emperor trusted Xiao Shan and was the most tolerant.In these years, apart from Xiao Shan, Zong Qing had never heard of or seen anyone who dared to be so rowdy and presumptuous in front of the emperor.

Zong Qing thought about this, then shook his head, and smiled silently to himself.Right now, he still has a lot of things to do, and he is actually thinking about other people's things here.I don't know what kind of leisure I am doing.

***

According to Xiao Shan's thinking, Zong Qing should tell him after clearing up everything.

After all, Zong Qing he knew had this temperament.

During this period, he can relax completely, and then walk around with Xie Zhui.Apart from those bad things, Liangzhou is still a place with more customs and customs, and there are many places to stroll.

Xiao Shan had a good idea, but Zong Qing didn't play his cards logically.

The case at hand made some progress, so he was going to report to Xiao Shan.

Xiao Shan tried to persuade him at first, saying that it was totally unnecessary.

Ke Zongqing rejected his kindness with righteous words, and said eloquently: "The emperor ordered the ministers and the prince to investigate the case together. Even if the prince does not investigate, he still has the responsibility of supervision. I dare not act arbitrarily."

Xiao Shan couldn't help but wonder if Zong Qing saw that he was too idle and felt unbalanced, so he did this on purpose.After thinking about it, Zong Qing had a very good reputation as a pure minister, so he should not have done such childish things.

It's just a very simple division of responsibilities, it's really unnecessary for Zong Qing to make it so complicated.

Especially after knowing Xiao Shan's plan, Zong Qing even persuaded him bluntly: "The prince should not go out at this time. Now the managers of several major businesses are in custody. Although there is a reason for the incident, it is still chaotic outside. The prince and the prince Going out still has certain risks, if you wait until all the dust settles, it will not be too late for Wang Ye and Wang Jun to go out again."

Zong Qing not only said this to him, but also to Xie Zhui.

Xie Zhui thought he could protect Xiao Shan's safety, but he still felt that there was a certain risk, so he lost interest in visiting Liangzhou City.

Xie Zhui insisted on refusing to go out, and Xiao Shan couldn't force him, let alone leave him to go out by himself.

So Xiao Shan's daily life is more than listening to Zong Qing's report on work.

Listen to how he interrogates Liu Jingxuan today, how he interrogates those businessmen tomorrow, and how he interrogates those beauties later.

In short, Zong Qing is very busy every day.

Needless to say about Liu Jingxuan, the interrogation was fast and accurate.

Those businessmen are old and cunning, and everyone sees such things as overdressing, so they admit it. They don't even admit to other charges, such as the crime of pulling officials to work for them, let alone admitting to it. The charge of homicide even unified the statement that Liu Jingxuan took the initiative to extort bribes from them, and Liu Jingxuan was the one who killed because Liu Jingxuan was afraid that the matter would be exposed.As for how to kill them, they don't know.

In short, according to this group of businessmen, Liu Jingxuan is a corrupt official, and they have evidence of how much money he has embezzled.

Because this incident has been investigated for a few days without any special progress.

Punishment was also used, but those people just refused to admit it, and pushed everything to Liu Jingxuan.They are innocent, and Liu Jingxuan forced them to collude with officials and businessmen.

They are ordinary businessmen, how can they fight against being an official.

Zong Qing reported to Xiao Shan that there was no progress. He detained several businessmen and interrogated them separately. He even pretended that someone had confessed, but he couldn't pry them open.

Seeing Zong Qing's pensive expression, Xiao Shan didn't have any worries at all. He couldn't help asking: "Lord Zong, if they don't recruit, what else can you do to get them recruited?"

Zong Qing hurriedly said: "I have already tried Liu San, Liu San's testimony is not much different from Liu Jingxuan's, and it also involved some problems in the subordinate counties of Liangzhou. With Liu San's testimony, I will testify those who have The county magistrate who found out the problem is using capital punishment on these people, and someone will confess."

"You're not afraid of trouble, are you planning to stay in Liangzhou for a year or so?" Xiao Shan couldn't help muttering after hearing this, he didn't want to stay here any longer, he wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible.So he lowered his face and continued, "Master Zong, I feel that since I can't open their mouths from here, I should lead someone to copy their homes."

Zong Qing was taken aback for a moment, thinking that he was a little angry, why did he change from investigating the case to ransacking the house.

Xiao Shan continued: "Their clothes are more modest. The king suspects that their house is not clean, and it is reasonable to have more modest things."

After saying this, he chuckled coldly twice: "One family, each house and each household will have evil intentions, not to mention they are four. Marriage and intermarriage have conflicts of interests. When disaster strikes, it's not about flying separately. Search them After the house, pick the one with the least crimes and the least crimes from it and let him meet his family members, let him think more about the future of his descendants, the king doesn't believe that he can't pry their mouths open."

Zong Qing: "..."

He separated the four of them for the purpose of dividing them up. Looking at it now, Xiao Shan's extreme method might be more effective.

"If there is a problem in the county below, it will be much easier to pull out the radish from above to bring out the mud. There are also President Zhao and President Wang in the chamber of commerce. Their families are not necessarily united, and they may not Everyone is as heartless as they are. Those younger generations, the wives, aunts and servants in the backyard, their outer rooms and the people in the romantic field related to them have to check more, and there are always people who can't understand them. Or people who have a grudge against them or who want to get out of their control. It’s far better to divide from within these people than to have them twist together.”

Zong Qing was stunned for a moment. He was always open and honest in his investigations. He would investigate anyone who had a problem. He would investigate unswervingly. He could always find out the truth, but it took a long time.Listening to Xiao Shan talking about this not-so-bright solution now, he feels that the concepts formed over the years have been severely impacted.

Xiao Shan doesn't care if his heart is hurt or not, what he wants most now is for Zong Qing to figure out these things as soon as possible.

After talking about his thoughts, Xiao Shan sent people away.In the next few days, Zong Qing finally stopped bothering him.

After tossing around for a while, finally the Patriarch of the Yue family spoke first.

With his precedent, no matter how much other people scold him, they will not be able to stop him, and it will be very easy to get a confession later.

The relationship between these people is just as Xiao Shan said, very fragile. When the chain of the thing called interests is broken, each of them thinks about how to protect their own family members.

The levee, which has been in disrepair for many years, looks extremely strong on the surface, but as long as there is a small gap to leak water, it will only collapse in an instant.

Zong Qing found a lot of things about how this group of people dragged officials into the water, how they controlled them, and how they tied each other's interests together.

The means they use are nothing more than what they like.

Those who like beauties will send them beauties. They have raised many beauties and good-looking little brothers. They will ask people to teach these people poetry and songs and even tune|teach their temperament, so that they can not only be interpreters, but also act coquettishly and pitifully. .

They don't touch such beauties, they just send them to those dignitaries.

If you want to be famous, give him a reputation. They have a deep network and do more things for such officials, so that they feel that things can be done easily and make them feel dependent.

As for those who want to be honest and honest, praise him, Wanmin Umbrella is given away at any time, and the immediate boss hears the most difficult words.Those who like to recite poems and write poems will find talented scholars and beautiful ladies to accompany them, and they can even try to get the poems and paintings of the talented prince Xiao Yi, the fourth prince, to give to those literati.

Money, beauties, fame and so on always have things that can impress people, as long as you are moved, it will be easy to get along with each other in the future.

They are not afraid of people like Liu Jingxuan, because he is hypocritical and his weaknesses are too obvious.

So in the beginning Liu Jingxuan's refusal to them seemed indifferent to them, and they were even betting behind their backs on when Liu Jingxuan would succumb.

The only thing they didn't expect was that Liu Jingxuan's heart was still a little red in black, just a little red, and they were all brought down at once.

The trees fell and the monkeys scattered, and these businessmen quickly revealed the names of the officials they had hooked up with.

Zong Qing watched with horror. Except for the very poor counties below Liangzhou, almost no one could escape the attack of these people, even officials from other states.

It can be said that most of the Jiangnan officials have their names on it.

How much is the question.

Handing over this paperwork, the Jiangnan officials are bound to undergo a major change of blood. With the addition of those evil businessmen, the bloody smell in Liangzhou may not disappear easily in the next few years, and the officials who come to take office will also be fearful in their hearts.

It is a good thing to have fear, because with fear, you will not act too much, and you will know how to exercise your rights.

Xiao Shan looked at it calmly, in this world there is white and there is black, and where there is darkness there is light.

All kinds of causes and effects, sooner or later, no one can escape.

After finishing the work in Liangzhou, Xiao Shan told Zong Qing that he was going back to Beijing.

This time they took the dry road, and the water road has no fate with Xiao Shan in this life.

On the day they left, they escorted many criminal officials. The line was long and spectacular, and many people came to the street to see them off.

In fact, many of them don't even know what Xiao Shan and Zong Qing look like.

But they knew that Liangzhou had changed because of the imperial envoy.

Xiao Shan and Xie Zhui were sitting in the car, when the curtain was accidentally blown by the wind, they saw Jingui in the crowd.

Jingui stood there looking at the carriages and guards of honor, his eyes suddenly became firm.

There are many things in this world that cannot just be heard, the most important thing is to see the result with your own eyes.

He used to think that there was no justice in this world, and all officials were like Liu Jingxuan.

He once thought that even the prince Xiao Shan was just one of these villains, but he was wrong.

There are still upright people and upright officials in this world.

Before most of them walked out of Liangzhou City, Xiao Shan asked Tong Zongqing to say something.

Not long after, Zong Qing got off the sedan chair and said something to the people in Liangzhou City, the emperor is wise, if they want to thank him, they can thank him.

When the common people knelt down and shouted the emperor's wisdom, all the people left slowly.
