"What's wrong with the prefect?"

The officials couldn't help but look at each other, but they didn't understand why the prefect, who had always been diligent, was so perfunctory today.

Punishment Lei Tong saw Lin Junran not feeling high and there was nothing important to do, so he rushed to the stunned people: "What are you still standing there? You're all dispersed!"

Although the officials were gushing in their hearts, they did not dare to stay here, and they dispersed one after another.

Mo Fei, wearing the sixth-grade official uniform, did not follow Lei Tui Guan and others to leave, but stood there and touched Lin Weiran's eyes, but the latter handed him a look.

"Mr. Prefect!" Mo Fei stepped forward to salute, but Lin Qingran asked directly: "Brother Ji De, He Jiu almost died in prison. What do you think about this?"

Mo Fei's face immediately turned cold, and he shouted angrily and said, "These people are simply lawless and have no king's laws. They dare to silence things. This matter must be investigated to the end!"

The sound was not small, which caused several officials including Lei Tong, who had just walked into the courtyard, and could not help but look back at this side. They just took a look and left with interest.

Lin Xuran signaled him to whisper and immediately said seriously: "I have this intention. You can take charge of this matter and see if you can find out the person behind the scenes who instructed the assassination!"

Although this possibility is extremely small, it is undoubtedly a direction for investigation, and it also sends a signal to the other party. He is not a person who swallows his anger, and he will bite when he gets an opportunity.

You can make concessions and compromises in the officialdom, but you must not be a slut that you dare not even say anything, otherwise the other party will only become more aggressive and even think that you are weak and can be bullied.

"Receive the order!" Mo Fei's eyes looked murderous and immediately hurried towards the cell.

Lin Weiran looked at Mo Fei who had left in a hurry and felt some comfort in his heart. At least he had a subordinate who could concentrate on doing things, rather than everyone was thinking about exploring their minds to climb up or take a corpse and eat.

It is already May, the harvest season, and it is an important time for the government office to collect grain taxes. At this time of year, Shuntian Government office always has a lot of things to deal with.

Although what happened this morning made him very upset, after returning to the signing room, Lin Weiran slowly devoted himself to official duties.

From Leizhou Prefecture to Guangzhou Prefecture, and to the current Shuntian Prefecture, although he could not change the pattern of the severe gap between the rich and the poor under his rule, he would strive to protect more interests for ordinary people.

Lin Qingran is a hard life and knows the difficulty of living in ordinary people. Although he is unable to promote the one-whip method, and even more so, he is willing to do some practical things for the people under his rule.

When leaving Leizhou Prefecture, an old man said in tears that he was a real good official. The reason was that he paid a bucket of rice, half a basket of silk and a load of vegetables less than in previous years, and he also served ten days less corvee labor.

It was also at that time that he began to seriously reflect on what the people really want.

People are selfish, and people who live in poverty are no exception. Although they do not pursue wealth and honor, they also want to fill their stomachs and have children and grandchildren, so they will naturally attach great importance to this tax.

Although they will not fight against the incumbent officials and dare not accuse the government of excessive taxes, they undoubtedly have a good reputation in their hearts. They must be clear about which incumbent official collects heavy taxes and which official collects light taxes.

Lin Weiran wants to get a good official reputation now, it is obviously not enough to just judge a case like a god. He also needs to reduce the tax burden for the millions of people in Shuntian Prefecture, even if he pays less than a dou of rice in the grain tax.

It was precisely because of this that Lin Qingran attached great importance to the collection of summer taxes. While restraining the greedy mouths below, he also had to find ways to improve the efficiency of tax collection and thus reduce tax losses.

Fortunately, he learned a lot of experience from Leizhou Prefecture and Guangzhou Prefecture, and seemed to be easy to do such things. At least he was confident that he was better than the previous Shuntian Prefectures.

As time goes by, the area of ​​the outside courtyard is exposed to the sun gradually increases, and the shadow area outside the enforced house is getting smaller and smaller.

"Brother, what are you asking me for?"

Hu Niu was wearing a suited cadre and obeyed outside, and her bright big eyes were full of spirit, and she felt a little more lively as a girl.

Lin Xuran was sorting out the transportation route of Liangzhuang's tax grain. When he looked up, he saw the wild girl who suddenly broke in. He was at first lost consciousness, but soon he remembered that he had asked the wild girl to find it, and immediately asked seriously: "You should know the news of He Jiu's assassination?"

"I know! When I entered the yamen, Lao Li told me about such a big thing!" Hu Niu blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked at Lin Weiran seriously and replied.

Lin Qingran didn't care who Lao Li was. After all, there was a large group of officials who wanted to curry favor with this wild girl. He immediately continued: "He Jiu is an important witness who testified the culprit behind the destruction and flooding of the fields. So he cannot die yet. We need to protect him temporarily and hide him temporarily!"

"Brother, just leave it to me. I'm so hiding something amazing!" Hu Niu's eyes lit up immediately, and she slapped her chest and volunteered.

Lin Weiran's forehead turned black and he immediately corrected seriously: "This time it was not something hidden, it was a Tibetan!"

"One thing, just leave it to me!" Hu Niu waved her little hand and said confidently without caring.

Lin Junran was actually not very relieved about Hu Niu. After all, He Jiu's safety is of great importance and is the most important part of the entire plan. No mistakes can occur.

But now, the enemy is in the open, but he is in the dark. Not to mention the yamen runners of the Shuntian Prefecture, even among the officials of the Shuntian Prefecture, there are many private officials of the Shuntian Prefecture. People who interact with the Xu party cannot guarantee who is the "family thief".

There are not many people he can believe now, and Hu Niu is undoubtedly the person he trusts the most. The most important thing is that other officials may be bribed, but this wild girl will not.

Lin Qingran looked at the confident wild girl and finally chose to believe him.

Hu Niu seemed to be trustworthy, and after receiving Lin Junran's order, she also began to make serious arrangements. She first asked the joint business group to send four carriages, and the four carriages were then used in a lot of directions.

There were many strange faces around Shuntian Prefecture, but they paid attention to the every move of Shuntian Prefecture. Especially when the four carriages left, someone immediately followed the carriage.

It seems not difficult to hide alone in Beijing, but there are many forces in the capital, and the eyes and ears are even more spread throughout the city. It is not necessarily an easy task to completely avoid these eyes and ears.
