"How are you doing...?"

Li Zhan sat in the back yamen, Ying Lao, Ouyang Ye, Gao Hu, Turkus Shang, Changkong... standing in front of Li Zhan in line.

"Brother back to the master...all tasks have been completed according to your instructions." Old Ying bowed slightly.

"Have you found one hundred thousand dans of grain?"

After Li Zhan asked, Ouyang Ye walked forward and said, "We have found them all, in Liu Tingshan's granary. However, after tonight, Liu Tingshan has prepared a large ship to transport the food away."

"This is going to cut off the prince's retreat...!" Li Zhan shook his head with a smile.

"That Cui Lin is more ruthless than the previous Cui Xu... He doesn't give the prince a chance at all..." Gao Hu said slightly.

"Okay...!" Li Zhan laughed: "In this way, I don't feel guilty, so that's it... I'm going to take action at night. We have to kill with one blow and catch the other party off guard."

"As for orders..."

....................................

The time is 20 o'clock in the evening, which is the hour of Mao.

At the entrance of the government office of Hongtong County, Li Chengqian was brave and rode a dark horse and shouted fiercely to his guards and 3,000 soldiers from the Tang Dynasty: "I was ordered by my father to take charge of Hongtong County. I originally thought that after the Zhou Shiren incident, the gentry in Hongtong County would work with Gu to manage Hongtong County well. After all, this is their hometown, and the people who were affected are also their villagers.

It’s just that the lone and the most wrong thing is that some gentry in Hongtong County are just rebellious parties. How could these rebellious parties be for the sake of Hongtong County? They just want Hongtong County to get worse and worse.

They don’t care about the villagers at all...you say... should such a gentry and rioter should be killed?"

"Does it deserve to kill...kill...kill...kill...!"

Looking at the soldiers whose momentum had been adjusted, Li Chengqian smiled slightly and said, "Okay... Then today I will take you to talk about the gentry and rioters in Hongtong County to copy it."

"As for orders..."

Morale was like a rainbow, Li Chengqian waved his sword and pointed the army, and his target was the Cui family in Hongtong County.

At this time, the Cui family had no idea that their catastrophe was coming. At this time, the Cui family had already entered a rest time, and the candlelight was swaying in the corridor.

Several servants patrolled the Cui family's courtyard with lanterns.

In the room, Cui Lin and his favorite concubine were doing what many people were doing.

Before Cui Lin could enjoy the calmness of all this, suddenly, a huge door was cracked.

"Bang..." The sound was very huge, it was the sound of using a giant tree to directly knock the door open.

After the sound rang out, the inspectors immediately went to check. However, when the servants arrived at the door, almost all of them knelt down because they were thousands of soldiers holding bows and arrows and spears... and they walked into the Cui family in neat steps.

Although the Cui family is brave, they are not idiots. Compared with well-trained soldiers, they are nothing, so it is wise to choose to surrender.

After the servants knelt down, the Cui family's manager rushed out in the second wave. Compared with the servants, the managers were still arrogant enough and cursed at the beginning, but before they could even get the second round of cursing.

"Kill..." A ruthless voice sounded behind Li Chengqian.

A row of feather arrows shot out without hesitation. This was the shooting of Li Chengqian's East Palace Guard.

Several managers of the Cui family fell into a pool of blood.

"Hou Guangliang..." Li Zhan's voice sounded!

"The last one is here..." Hou Guangliang immediately bowed.

"Search the East Courtyard! Block it, kill it without mercy!"

"As for the order..." Hou Guangliang waved his hand and immediately led a team of soldiers to the East Courtyard.

"Du He...!"

"I am in a humble position..."

"Search the West Courtyard...! Block it, kill it without mercy..."

"As for your order!" Du He also took the order and left.

Li Zhan gave the order slowly, while Li Chengqian stood beside Li Zhan with his sword and looked around with a protective attitude. It took less than a quarter of an hour.

Hou Guangliang came back and was escorting someone, either someone else or Cui Lin, following the thing in his hand. This thing shocked Li Chengqian. It turned out to be a dragon robe.

"You really want to rebel..." Li Chengqian shouted in shock when he looked at Cui Lin.

"No...No, I never thought of rebelling. Your Highness, I was wronged, someone wanted to wrong me." Cui Lin also showed a terrifying expression at this time and shouted for rebellion, because rebellion would kill the nine clans.

But just after Cui Lin had just called for injustice, Du He rushed back happily, and shouted happily while rushing: "I found it, found it, all the 500,000 guan allocated by the imperial court to Hongtong County have been found."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, and it was slashed with Cui Lin, who had just shouted wronged.

"Okay...!" Li Chengqian shouted angrily: "You dare to call for justice... You embezzled all the funds for disaster relief from the court to your home. I think it's just for your military expenses. It's wronged, but you're wronged.

Someone is here... drag it on me..."

But before Li Chengqian could cut his words, Li Zhan said at this time: "Correl up and wait for His Majesty to deal with it."

"Brother...!" Li Chengqian turned around and looked at Li Zhan.

Li Zhan said to Li Chengqian: "Your Majesty must be the master of rebellion. The prince should not interfere with the affairs, oh... By the way, although you can't cut off this Cui Lin, you can ask where the other rebellion military expenditures of the Cui family are, and the whereabouts of the 100,000 dan of grain allocated by His Majesty. I believe that the food allocated by His Majesty must still be in Hongtong County."

"I understand...hum... I will let this Cui Lin spit out everything I know." Li Chengqian stared at Cui Lin and said angrily.

Afterwards, Li Chengqian pried Cui Lin's mouth open after only a while of punishment. The food allocated by the court was indeed still there, and it was all in Liu Tingshan's granary.

Li Chengqian immediately returned to Hongtong County in a fierce manner and copied out all the grain from Liu Tingshan's granary.

To be honest, Li Zhan had known this result for a long time, but he still felt very shocked. These aristocratic families were really too greedy.

In fact, you can be greedy, but you must at least keep some to make the people live. Li Zhan couldn't understand why corrupt officials from ancient times to the present have to fish out of their own waters.

Some people will definitely say, the corrupt official you wrote is so stupid, why don’t you let go of the money in your hands? It’s not a good thing to give the prince a personal favor by 100,000 harbors of grain.

Yes... you said nothing wrong, but what corrupt officials think is different from you.

Yuan Zai of the Tang Dynasty... He was a corrupt official. This guy had a hobby and was keen on building large-scale buildings and building houses. This was also an indispensable part of all the trilogies of corrupt officials. The houses he built actually occupied the three fangs of Daning, Anren and Changshou. There were 109 fangs in the capital of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, and Yuan Zai occupied the third one, which shows how large the scale and the number of buildings were.

He also built a garden-style private house in the eastern capital Luoyang. After confiscation, it could be converted into a royal garden. But the most amazing thing is that there were 800 stones of pepper among the items confiscated. According to some calculations, one stone in the Tang Dynasty was 79,320 grams, so 800 stones was 64 tons now.

If you are so greedy, aren’t you just seeking death and have no scruples at all?

Chen Ziqiang, the right prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty... This guy is even more powerful. He sells official positions "openly and upright". He relies on his qualifications as a powerful figure, Han Zhou, who was corrupt and abused the law and did everything. He sent people to negotiate the price for anyone who sought an official, and then "openly and uprightly" the official positions. Local officials sent official documents to the capital, and the letter must indicate "to offer some things together". Anyone who did not write them will not open them at all.

Are these people stupid?

So the idea of ​​a corrupt official is that he is different from yours and you cannot think about the problem from his perspective.
