Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty-Fourth: Go to War
On that day, Li Min transformed into a businessman and among the people, he heard many people's resentment towards the county magistrate Cheng Hu.
It turns out that this county magistrate comes from the Cheng family, one of the four great families in Yizhou.
The Cheng family and the Zhao family are working together and do all kinds of bad things.
It can be said that the people are full of complaints against them.
And after hearing these, the most authentic voices from the common people.
Li Min's face couldn't help but reveal a thoughtful look.
It seems that Yizhou is almost broken to the core.
It has almost reached the point where it cannot be destroyed or established.
If people are like this, then let's just make a bigger fuss tomorrow!
On the same day, Xue Rengui sent a private soldier and quietly returned to Yizhou City.
…
On the second day, at three o'clock in the morning, the county magistrate Cheng Hucai went to the county government office in a leisurely manner in a sedan chair with eight carriages.
Along the way, there were government officials in front of us to clear the way, and all the people on the street had to retreat, which was very impressive.
Unexpectedly, today there is a person who has no eyesight and does not understand current affairs.
Today, there was a group of more than ten people who unexpectedly came up to me face to face.
Those government officials shouted arrogantly from afar: "People in front of you, why don't you get out of here quickly? Didn't you see that Magistrate Cheng is coming? If you don't get out of here quickly, I won't break your legs."
Xue Rengui, who was in front of Li Min, heard this and said in a deep voice: "How dare you speak to the Governor like this? How many heads have you grown? Why don't you quickly ask your county magistrate to come and pay homage to the Governor!"
Grand Governor?
Hearing this name, the yamen official who called out felt his legs weak and almost fell to his knees on the ground.
This is the name of a person and the shadow of a tree.
This great governor has not done many good things since he came to Yizhou.
Of course, these are all for officials like them.
To the common people, it can be said that everything this governor has done is a good thing.
But this time, the Governor came to their Lingchi County, maybe there was nothing good going on, right?
These government officials immediately rolled and crawled to the sedan chair of the county magistrate Cheng Hu.
He said in panic: "Magistrate Cheng, Magistrate Cheng, something bad is going to happen, something is going to go wrong!"
At this time, Cheng Hu, who was sleeping in the sedan chair, suddenly became furious when he heard the Yamen yelling outside.
"You are so angry with your mother. Is the sky falling or something? If you don't tell the county magistrate today that you are ugly, I will have my legs broken by you!"
The Yamen servant couldn't help but trembled and said: "Mr. Cheng, the Grand Governor, the Grand Governor is right in front!"
Bang!
Plop!
Unexpectedly, when he heard that the Grand Governor was right in front of him, who had just called him so arrogantly, he was so frightened that he fell off the sedan chair.
As for Cheng Hu, after falling off the sedan chair, he didn't care about the pain or the wrinkled clothes.
He got up from the ground in a pee, and Cheng Hu hurriedly greeted him.
Don't look at the fact that Cheng Hu is usually ruthless and arrogant.
But in front of the Commander-in-Chief, who had just captured Zhao Youcai and confiscated Zhao Youcai's house, Cheng Hu felt very guilty.
His proud family background was not worth mentioning in front of the Grand Governor.
Soon, Cheng Hu came to Li Min and saluted quickly: "Your Majesty, Cheng Hu, pays homage to the Governor!"
At this time, because of Li Min's appearance, those government officials naturally did not dare to clear the way.
The people nearby saw the excitement and gathered around.
For a time, the place was surrounded by a large circle and attracted more and more people.
And Li Min did this deliberately, to send such a message to the people of Yizhou.
Li Min couldn't help but ask Cheng Hu: "Mr. Cheng, when I asked you how many people there were in Lingchi County, you told me that there were 10,000 people in Lingchi County, and I gave you 10,000 catties."
Salt. And I ordered you to sell these ten thousand kilograms of salt at a price of thirty cents per kilogram according to each person's share of one kilogram. I wonder if you have done this?"
"This, this..."
Hearing Li Min's question, sweat dripped from Cheng Hu's forehead.
After a long while, he stammered: "Go back, go back to the Governor, all of them are sold!"
"Huh?" After hearing Cheng Hu's words, Li Min couldn't help but shouted: "But how come the news that the governor heard with his own ears is not consistent with what you said? How did the governor hear that those people did not
Where can I buy the refined salt produced by this governor?"
After hearing Li Min's words, the sweat on Cheng Hu's forehead became thicker and thicker.
In Lingchi County, he was a local emperor, but here, he speaks the truth.
Being comfortable for too long gave him a mysterious confidence in his ability to control Lingchi County.
I don't think anything that happened here could be known to the Governor.
This is also the reason why he dared to resist the orders of the Grand Governor.
But the appearance of the Grand Governor today caused his mysterious self-confidence to collapse in an instant.
After a long while, Cheng Hu said with difficulty: "The Governor, the lower official, um, the refined salt distributed by the Governor, the lower official has not yet distributed it! It's all in the warehouse, yes, it's all in the warehouse!"
Hearing Cheng Hu's words, Li Min sneered and said, "Very good, then you can take me to the warehouse to have a look now!"
Originally, Cheng Hu was still praising his wit.
But when he heard the Grand Governor's request, his heart suddenly went cold.
Those refined salts had long been sold by him at a high price.
In Cheng Hu's view, the Zhao family is eager to sell off its salt reserves, so the people will definitely be in need of salt.
This matter will never be leaked.
Therefore, when selling salt, one is called unscrupulous.
But I never expected that the Governor would appear in Lingchi County as if falling from the sky, and even wanted to see his warehouse!
At this moment, Cheng Hu was scared to death!
After a long while, Cheng Hu couldn't help but stammered: "Grand Governor, this, this, you came the way you came, and asked the subordinates to hold a banquet for you to wash away the dust. After the meal, how about we go to see the warehouse?"
Governor, look -"
Li Minhan said with a face: "Don't be verbose, lead the way to the warehouse!"
Cheng Hu's face was livid. Facing this incompetent governor, he could only lead the way.
Just as he turned around, Cheng Hu winked at his master.
Cheng Hu knew very well that today, the Governor came well prepared, and he must be in trouble today.
The only person who can save him now is the governor Lin Jie.
This great governor had just arrived in Yizhou for less than a month, and he had captured Zhao Youcai, the magistrate of Chengdu County.
And just a few days later, he had to capture himself again.
How many counties are there in the entire Yizhou?
If Lin Jie cannot protect Zhao Youcai and himself, then Lin Jie, the governor, will completely lose control of Yizhou.
