The imperially-given iron coupon has another title among the people, the gold medal for avoiding death!

"I've made a reservation in the Soldier." Chang Sen shouted, "Because of this case, I must find out!"

As he said that, he grinned and said, "If you let the Huguang Administration Commissioner check it by itself, then it wouldn't be his mother's left hand and right hand, will he never be able to find it clearly?"

"Since I want to investigate, I will investigate it to the end! The iron coupon of the elixir gift from Emperor Taizu Gao is here, and something happens to me. Anyway, I can't die if I have this thing!"

"You can't die!"

Yan Zheng's face was ashamed and said in his heart, "But I don't know how many people will die in the Huguang Administration!"

Chang Sen was dispatched troops into the city, which was clearly intended to make a big deal.

If this fire is led from Wuchang Prefecture to the entire Huguang Administration, how many people will fall to the ground?

The entire Huguang Province must be a bloody storm, who can stay out of the matter?

Thinking of this, I closed my eyes solemnly and painfully, and walked down the court with a distraught spirit.

"Be careful, sir!"

But he staggered suddenly. If it weren't for the yamen runners next to him who were quick-witted, he would have fallen on the spot.

"I have half a year left...I have retired and returned home after half a year left. I have been away from the seventh-rank magistrate to the third-rank magistrate for the rest of my life, and I have been away for forty years...I have been dreaming for forty years, all of my life is empty!"

~~

"Master, this Yan Zheng is a well-known good man!"

Among the crowd in the hall, He Guangyi whispered to Zhu Yunxi, "I haven't heard of anyone who has ever been blushing with him forty years. Everyone says he... "

"What did you say?" Zhu Yunxi asked coldly.

"Treat!"

"Hmph!" Zhu Yunxiu snorted coldly, "I'm afraid it's not that he is timid, but that he has always been used to pretending to be confused! Pretending to be confused is even more annoying than being really confused!"

Suddenly, a bang!

Zhu Yunxi was startled by the sudden whistle.

He saw Chang Sen standing in the hall and shouting, "Come on, catch the Wuchang prefect and ask me!"

"Ha!" Zhu Yunxi smiled bitterly, "Is he addicted to checking?"

~~

After half a cup of tea, the frightened Wuchang prefect Zhang Qian was taken to the lobby of the inspector.

As soon as he entered the door, his eyes suddenly condensed.

Because he saw that his brother-in-law Bai Buyi was curled up on the ground at this moment, and his body kept sucking, just like... a maggot in the toilet.

"You are the governor of Wuchang Zhang Qian?" Chang Sen asked loudly in the hall.

"Secretary Zhang Qian, I have met Chang Hou!" Zhang Qian was still a little brave enough to stand and perform the rituals.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chang Sen's personal soldier Chang Dabiao stepped forward with his waist knife.

"Stop, what are you doing?" Chang Sen asked.

Chang Dabiao was stunned, "Mr. Marquis, didn't the old rules knock off one leg first?"

"Go roll!" Chang Sen cursed, "He is a serious official from the third-rank official. How can he break his legs just by breaking them!"

The prefects of the prefecture are mostly fourth or fifth rank official positions.

Wuchang is not only the capital of Huguang and also a major port in the world, so Zhang Qian, the governor of Wuchang, is one level higher in his official position.

If he had nothing unexpected, he would continue to follow the official career. If he was lucky, he would first be the inspector, and then the governor of a province and the chief officials of the border during ten years.

"Here, give him the file!" Chang Sen nodded.

The document in the classroom recorded the criminal's confession of the testimony, and handed it to Zhang Qian in his hands.

Zhang Qian's hands were trembling, but he still tried hard to maintain his appearance. But after taking it, he couldn't stand it no matter how he looked.

"He!" Chang Sen pointed to Qian Dayong from the Shipbuilding Department and said, "Is this true?"

He thought Zhang Qian would deny the argument and refuse to admit it.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Qian put down the file and smiled, "Go back to the marquis, every sentence is true!" He said, looking up, "Not only is every sentence true, but the things the officials do are far more than this!"

"You are a bachelor!" Chang Sen said, touching his beard.

Not only was he surprised, but Zhu Yunxiu was also surprised.

And at this moment, Zhang Qian sighed, then looked around the crowd, as if searching for something.

"Xiaguan has known for a long time that there must be the day when the matter was revealed!" Zhang Qian smiled bitterly, "So, when Changhou's men arrested Xia Guan Nei, Xiaguan obviously had the opportunity to disguise himself from the city, but he was still willing to die!"

"I know that you will still do this one day?" Chang Sen said angrily.

"It's not that the officials are greedy for money, but..." Zhang Qian smiled self-deprecatingly, "I have to use money everywhere in life!" As he said that, he pointed at Qian Dayong and sneered, "You said in your confession that I will threaten and tempt you, so that you can all listen to me!"

Speaking of this, he laughed again, "But when you are dividing money, aren't you very happy?"

As he said that, his eyes suddenly changed, "I also heard that you haven't moved the money you have allocated in the past few years. You are going to take it out for filial piety and activities, and strive to find a prosperous place to be a county magistrate, right?"

"No, no, no...!" Qian Dayong shook his head quickly.

"I don't blame you for pushing everything on my head, but I have to make it clear at this point!" Zhang Qian said again, "Your ships from the Ship Department are renting for merchants to sell goods, but Datou went directly to the Ship Department. What I took every month is just your filial piety, right?"

Without waiting for Qian Dayong to speak, Zhang Qian looked at Chang Sen, "I asked them to do bad things, but more because they respect me and let me protect them from doing worse things!"

"There is also the Engineering Department, and the officials are involved. However, whether it is building river embankments, roads, drainage, etc., the specific people who work are all found by the Engineering Department themselves... They also ate the big head by themselves!"

"And the Xu family's case!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Ping'an, who was kneeling, looked at Zhang Qian angrily, his eyes as if he was a knife.

"Don't blame me. At the beginning, I told them that if a person dies, he should give money, and he should pay more money to suppress the matter!" Zhang Qian smiled, "The people below are confused. They are afraid that things will make a big deal, and then they threaten and intimidate you, so that they demolish your house and destroy your household registration documents... People stare at Heyaner Street all day long, those families with dead people at home!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Qian sighed, "When I really know, your anger will no longer be solved with money, right? Do you still have to go to Beijing to file a complaint? Then the official had to abide by the behavior of the people below. He can't treat you well and let you really complain, right?"

"Dog official!" Xu Ping'an cursed gritted his teeth.

"Dog official!" Zhang Qian sneered, "Does dozens of lives have indeed occurred under the rule of this official. But in recent years, Wuchang has become more and more prosperous, with taxes ranked among the top three in the Ming Dynasty, and business travel from south to north is like clouds!"

"The merchant ships waiting to dock on the Yangtze River must line up... Not to mention how much tax has been added to the court. Just those merchants are looking for people to unload goods, food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even the wanderings... Haha, all the poor people in Wuchang Prefecture benefit from it, right?"

"I am corrupt, but I have also given more jobs to the poor people in Wuchang Prefecture! Otherwise, where can you get so many livelihoods in your dirty and scattered outer city?"

"You ask yourself, even if you carry a load to sell hot dry noodles, is the business better than before?"

The only voice in the hall was Zhang Qian, and the sound of him slowly rang.

Zhu Yunxiu in the crowd always felt that he was saying this to himself.

~

"Oh, then so, you have some achievements?" Chang Sen sneered.

"Don't dare!" Zhang Qian continued to laugh again, "Wrong is wrong! The lower officials are greedy and greedy! But the lower officials are not greedy. If the lower officials are not greedy, the lower officials are also greedy. If the lower officials are not greedy, the higher officials are also greedy, and the higher officials are also greedy for money!"

"So, the officials are corrupt! Not only are they corrupt themselves, but the officials in Wuchang Mansion, in addition to their annual salary, also have additional income. The officials will take them to greed!"

"They don't stop the officials from stopping them if they have money, and turn a blind eye! As long as... as long as they are within the control of the officials, as long as they don't make trouble all over the world!"

"In this way, they can help the officials and manage Wuchang well!"

Chang Sen sneered, "Skewer!"

"You are not a civil servant. If you don't understand the truth that there is no fish if you don't understand the water! " Zhang Qian smiled faintly, with his hands behind his back as if he was not afraid, but his fingers kept trembling, but betrayed his panic.

"If the lower-ranking official is a clean official, he will be the lower-ranking official, and the position of the prefect cannot be held! If the lower-ranking official is a clean official, he will not be able to make money, and the men of the governor will not be able to sit still!"

Zhang Qian sneered, "They also know how to weigh the pros and cons, and they also know that everything has two sides. Take Wuchang Outer City as an example. Those who should not be taxed cannot be charged taxes!"

"But because merchants gathered and found that they could smuggle and carry taxes, the merchants who traveled to and from Wuchang would stop in the outer city as long as they had their own road!"

"The labor force in the outer city is cheap, the food is cheap, and the living is cheap, and there is no curfew... In this way, I ordered taxes in the outer city!"

"But the taxes in the outer city have been put into the pockets of Xiaguan?" Zhang Qian sneered again, "Marty, you also sent 200,000 yuan in military pay to Wuchang Mansion at the beginning of the year! You don't think that this money was intercepted by Wuchang Mansion to you by the official tax, right?"

"Wuchang Mansion is not so bold to intercept the taxes the emperor requires!" Zhang Qian said again, "But, whether it is Wuchang Mansion or Huguang Dusi, there are many places to spend money... If you don't collect more taxes, where does this money come from?"

"Ha!" Chang Sen sneered, "Are you willing to give up? Are you afraid of being tortured? So you simply don't hide it!"

"The Xiaguan knows that I can't hide it! You can judge that the Xiaguan will have broken legs at most, but if the Jinyiwei comes!" Zhang Qian touched his official uniform with some regret, "The Xiaguan may have his intestines turned open!"

As he said that, he turned his head suddenly and looked at the crowd.

"The incident happened that day. The officials wanted to find the Chief Secretary for Administration, but who knew that they pretended to be sick and disappeared! The officials knew that this matter must be a big deal!"

"Later, I thought again, it is impossible for you, Changhou, to make the General Secretary so afraid. Although you are a noble and foreign relative, you have always been cautious and never interfere in the civil affairs!"

"Then Xu Ping'an is not a relative or acquaintance. Do you need to help him stand up at the brink of bad luck? It's still so big that he can mobilize troops into the city!"

As he said that, he looked at the iron coupon of the alchemy book on the table, and sneered, "When did the Ming Dynasty really take this thing seriously?"

"Bold!" Chang Sen shivered.

"And, the servant found something else!" Zhang Qian turned around again, looked at the crowd, and his eyes finally fell on Zhu Yunxiu. "The servant asked his subordinates and said that the day you met Xu Ping'an, he was taking his nephew to have dinner in the outer city!"

"Haha, how could your nephews go to places like the kind of mixed fish and dragons in the outer city? And the children of the capital have already known the place before they arrived, so how could they come quietly?" Zhang Qian sneered again, "And it is said that it was not you who came first that day, but your nephew!"

"Some people say that Chang Hou that day, you, were like an old servant following your nephew!"

"Plus in Jiujiang a while ago, I have calculated your nephew, which is the current emperor's agenda, so..."

As he said that, Zhang Qian lifted the hem of his official uniform and knelt down in everyone's surprise eyes.

"The Xiaguan knows that he must be unable to escape!"
