Jiangyou County has changed.

This is the most rumored thing in Jiangyou County recently. No one would have thought that Chen Gui, who had been rampant in Jiangyou County for many years, was sentenced to a prison overnight and committed suicide overnight. It is said that after leaving a suicide note and confession, Chen Gui took off his belt and committed suicide in prison while the prison guards were not paying attention. This made the people of Jiangyou happy and a little regretful: One sentence made him die too easily.

What he did in Jiangyou in recent years was to hit five thunders and lingchi was not too much to execute him. At least he had to separate his body and die without a complete body. Now this way of death is really a bit cheaper for him, especially the families of the victims. Seeing the county magistrate stand up for them and ask them to write confessions and papers, he thought he could get justice, but he didn't expect that before he went to court, Chen Gui had already committed suicide, but he felt a little disappointed.

Although Chen Gui was dead, the news about him has never stopped. Even the excitement and prosperity of the Spring Festival cannot make the people of Jiangyou County feel less relevant to this matter. Now the streets and alleys are discussing matters related to Chen Gui:

"Brother Zhao, have you heard that Chen Batian committed suicide in prison. God opens his eyes."

"I heard that you only know now? Chen Gui has done so many bad things and finally got retribution. The ancients said it well, good rewards will be good, bad rewards will be bad rewards. It is not that the time has not come. Now, if King Yama wants to accept you in the third update, how can you keep you until the fifth update? Retribution, you will die well."

"You have heard that there are too few things. My nephew did it in the yamen. He knows a lot. This time, Chen Gui can be said to be betrayal of his relatives. Those confidants who were trained in the past rushed to report Chen Gui's evil deeds to the county magistrate."

A man wearing a Confucian shirt also said happily: "This is the kindness of the county master. He imitated the Prime Minister Cao of the Three Kingdoms, burned all the correspondence between Jiang County officials and Chen Gui, and ordered that the past be forgiven. Those people had no future troubles. Only then did they actively report Chen Gui's evil deeds and punish the evil leader. In this way, Jiangyou's prosperity and stability can be maintained and major turmoil can avoid great turmoil. Now it is a mess. Besides, it is a wasteland. Jiangyou's villagers and elders can't afford to toss."

Another old man dressed in an old farmer heard this and nodded and said, "Mr. Xu said that God has eyes and sent us a Lu Qingtian. As soon as he made a move, he returned us a bright world, the blessing of Jiangyou, the blessing of Jiangyou."

"Have you heard that? Lu Qingtian sent Captain Cao to the Chen family to search the house. The Chen Batian surnamed is also today, so he will be raided."

"Then Chen Gui's store has also been closed."

"I heard that the county master wants to take out the silver from it and compensate the people who were harmed by Chen Gui. He is really the Master Qingtian."

"that is."

Chen Gui has dominated Jiang County for many years. To be honest, the Chen County government is well aware of the principle that hard work is easy to break, and it is full of damage. It is hidden in daily life. Sometimes it is still the image of a good man. His cunning does not mean that his son, nephew and other relatives are highly aware of it. On the contrary, they are all cheating people. They relied on his power and acted rampantly. When something happened, he naturally wiped his butt. Over time, the people placed all resentment on him. When he was in power, they did not dare to say it. Now that he fell down, they naturally cheered.

There are two families with deep hatreds. After Chen Gui died, they even bought firecrackers to set them off in the street, calling it "Send the God of Plague."

When Chen Gui fell, Wang You's people were excited and rushed to tell each other. Even inside and outside the yamen, there was also a joyful atmosphere. Yes, it was a joyful atmosphere: the new county publicly burned down letters from a group of people who had communicated with Chen Gui, and did not investigate in the past. In order to stabilize people's hearts, Cao Hu secretly gave everyone a peace of mind: the benefits they received in the past do not need to be returned, and the treatment in the future would have to be bad.

This is so grand. The people from the county government spread early in the morning. The new county magistrate was a person with a big hand and eyes. After experiencing the matter of Chen Gui, he seemed to be so clever. Everyone admired Lu Haoshan. Anyway, the home party did not fight against the western family. As long as there was food and Yueyin, who would be the emperor? So, they followed Lu Haoshan's advice and did their best to do things, competing with this amazing county magistrate.

I am satisfied with keeping my job. As for the old love? The friendship of the past? Please, can it be eaten as a meal? In order to draw a clear line, they also took the initiative to report Chen Gui's crimes.

Lu Haoshan was in a good mood, and he won Chen Gui in one fell swoop, conquered the hearts of the county government, and established his own prestige. It can be said that he killed three birds with one stone. By the way, through the seizure of Chen Gui's family property, he obtained a large amount of money. Chen Gui has been the county magistrate for many years, making money well and managing well, and accumulating a lot of wealth, which happened to make Lu Haoshan cheaper, which is also the reason why Lu Haoshan is happy.

Recruiting soldiers requires capital. If you make a fortune at once, can Lu Haoshan not be excited?

In fact, Chen Gui was indeed rich. He knew that he had a lot of money before he searched his house. When he searched his house, he was even more shocked. Silver ingots and gold bricks, rare antiques, luxury houses and shops, fields and jewelry, various fur goods, etc., made people confused. Not to mention anything else, the cash and silver alone amounted to more than 70,000 taels, such as those slaves and maids, have not counted.

At this moment, in the county garage, Lu Haoshan took Cao Hu and Zhou Dayuan to check the property, and they were all confused. Cao Hu was saliva when he saw so much wealth.

"This Chen Gui is so greedy that he actually shaves so much money and ointment, and he deserves it." Cao Hu said a little sourly.

This is not anger. If I sit in the position of the county magistrate, I will make money. I am just angry and have been following Chen Gui for many years. This old man eats meat and doesn't even distinguish between his bones. He feels a little unbalanced.

"A drop of red in the hall, thousands of drops of blood from the people." Zhou Dayuan said with some emotion: "A county magistrate has a salary of only more than 30 taels a year. Chen Gui has been in the county government for more than ten years, but it has only been a few years since he was transferred to the eighth-rank county magistrate. The amount is less than 200 taels. However, these family wealth has far exceeded his income. It is obviously the income from corruption and bribery. No wonder the public is extremely angry. County Lord, you are apart from Jiangyou. Now the people of Jiangyou call you Lu Qingtian."

This is a bit heartbroken. Zhou Dayuan has been in charge of household houses and has made a lot of money over the years, but his methods are very concealed and disciplined relatives very strictly. He has always been very low-key. Compared with Chen Gui, he laughed at him for fifty steps. However, Lu Haoshan said that he would only eliminate evil leaders and that other people will not blame him in the past. Therefore, Zhou Dayuan could put himself in the position of a good official to look at this matter with confidence.

Lu Haoshan nodded and said, "It's okay no matter what. Fortunately, thanks to the help of two people, I can only get rid of this big cancer of Jiangyou in one fell swoop."

"Sir, if it weren't for the adults, we would still be deeply trapped in the mud." Zhou Dayuan said hurriedly.

Cao Hu also said directly: "This is a merit for the Lord. Let me say a psychological saying. If the county magistrate had not given us the opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious service, maybe we are all prisoners now. If it weren't for the Lord, I, Cao Hu, would not have been able to get what I wish in this life. I would have been able to bring the beauty back. Please accept Cao's greeting."

After Lu Haoshan threatened Chen Gui, he asked him to write a divorce letter to Li Yunniang. This set Li Yunniang and that case cleared away, without dragging her into the water, and also made her and Chen Gui go together to create the best conditions, making a couple happy. Cao Hu was very grateful for this.

"Please get up quickly," Lu Haoshan quickly helped Chen Gui up and said, "Okay, there is no need to be too polite. You have thanked this many times. As long as you do your best, you will be the best reward for me."

"I dare not obey orders." Cao Hu said immediately.

Zhou Dayuan, who was standing aside, looked at Cao Hu, then Lu Haoshan, and said with a pity: "Sir, although Chen Gui alone took all the charges, he died so easily and spared his family. This is already kind enough. Why do you still have to leave them a fortune? They all laughed secretly for them."

"Sir, Brother Zhou's words make sense. He said that he would not investigate the past and did not need to return the benefits he had won before, but the benefits were all borne by Chen Gui. Many brothers also paid a small amount of money to subsidize them. They were not generous. This time, the house was searched and they were not allowed to be careless. Brothers were jealous when they saw it." Cao Hu said in a low voice: "It's not that the Chen family's people can be cheap."

Seeing Lu Haoshan being dull and silent, although he did not express his opinion, he did not object, Zhou Dayuan said with some difficulty: "Sir, you just scolded me, so that we can't get red envelopes, we can't harass the people anymore, and we can't blackmail merchants, but relying so much money alone can't support our family, and he promises that life is better than Chen Guishi. Sir, what should we do about this?"

Lu Haoshan sat in the upper seat and smiled and asked the two of them to see it. Then he said, "This time the house was searched, the profit was extremely high. All of them were put into the warehouse and kept for public use. It was not Lu's capital that had already been available. As for the welfare issues, I had already made a countermeasure."

"Sir, what are the countermeasures? The villain is stupid. Please tell me clearly." Cao Hu asked curiously immediately.

"Yes, sir, we are your confidants. We are our own people, so don't hide it from us. My old Cao felt like he was being clawed by a cat."

Lu Haoshan smiled slightly and said calmly: "First talk about the treatment of the yamen personnel. If you work with me, you will naturally not treat them unfairly. But we are not Chen Gui. We should take it in a good way. I will not let you collect the money for filial piety. That is for you. The burden on the people is too heavy. Let those officials blackmail the people. Once they get angry or can't survive, they will rebel against the mob. Then we will be in danger. We cannot take risks in this special period. Fortunately, there are more than ten shops under Chen Gui's name and the business is not bad. I have thought about it and continue to operate. The money I earn will be distributed according to grade and merit. It will definitely be better than scaring those poor people, and I can't take it with peace of mind."

"As for keeping 20% ​​of the money for them to be given to their widows, this is a promise, and I cannot violate it. However, many of them still have cases and cannot use their temperament." Lu Haoshan sneered: "I said I would keep 20% of the money, but I didn't say anything to leave them, so I left them the land that was difficult to take action. At that time, as long as I limited the days for them to relocate, they would sell them at any cost. Zhou Sili, you won't miss this good opportunity, right?"

Zhou Dayuan's eyes lit up and he hurriedly said, "I understand, I must do it properly."

"It's all your responsibility at this time." Lu Haoshan turned his head and said to Cao Hu: "If you sell the land, they will move to another place. Captain Cao will escort them out of Jiangyou. I heard that there are many mobs recently, and I've sent them out of Jiangyou County. No matter what you send, it has nothing to do with us."

While speaking, Lu Haoshan deliberately distorted the word "mob" in a long tone. Cao Hu's eyes lit up, and he screamed in his heart. He immediately said happily: "Yes, sir, my subordinates must do it properly."

This trick is so cruel. He gives some difficult fields to cash out, and leaves the country within a limited time, forcing them to sell at a low price. This open robbery can bring a lot of benefits. Cao Hu escorts out of the country and leaves Jiangyou County without caring about it. Looking at Cao Hu's excited face, everyone knows that he is a fat man. The county magistrate has a modest advance and retreat, and he speaks without any water. Zhou Dayuan sighed in his heart: It turns out that a hero is a boy, it's not simple.
