Chapter 938 The Imperial Court Shakes
Above the main hall of the Luyi County Yamen, the princess Li Mingda looked at a middle-aged unsightly official in front of her. Is this the corrupt county magistrate Wei Song?Li Mingda thought to himself, although this person looks like a bit of a philistine, overall, his image is not bad, and no one would think that he would be the person behind the sheep's head mountain.

"Wei Song, are you convicted?" Li Mingda said sharply.

The county magistrate immediately knelt down, "I don't know what has offended the princess, and I am willing to make amends to the princess."

Bai Dingguo sneered and said, "What a cunning official, do you think the princess is a three-year-old kid who came to play games with you?"

"My princess has found out a few days ago that you have committed heinous crimes long ago by colluding with the sheep-head bandits and amassing money for the disaster. What else do you have to say?" Li Mingda asked again.

Who knew that the county magistrate was stunned when he heard this. It turned out that it had something to do with Mount Yangtou. Related.

Wei Song, who was still kneeling and laughing with him, stood up unhurriedly, bowed his hands to Li Mingda, and said solemnly: "Although the lower official is only the most humble county magistrate in the Tang Dynasty, he also thinks that Officials are innocent and worthy of the common people.

Today, the princess actually framed a subordinate official for colluding with the bandits of Yangtou Mountain, so loyal and traitorous framed Zhongliang, is there any law in the Tang Dynasty? "

"I knew you wanted to deny it. This is the confession made by the bandit leader of Yangtou Mountain. The harvest of the crime in that year and that month, as well as the dividends for your confession, are all clear. I really didn't expect that you, a small county Ling, in just five years, actually amassed 50 taels of wealth, which is fatter than the bandits who robbed others.

In fact, those bandits are the eagle dogs you raised to make money, what a good way. "The third child of the Bai family threw out a confession with bloody fingerprints.

But Wei Song didn't even look at it. In his opinion, the princess in front of him was just a girl's film, and the guards were quite young. How could he fight against an old fritter who had been in the officialdom for many years?
"Why do you want to add a crime? You say I have colluded with bandits? Just a piece of paper will ruin my reputation for many years. Don't say that Wei doesn't admit it today. Never bow your head."

Li Mingda looked back at the second son of the Bai family in embarrassment, the meaning was obvious, he had no choice, what do you think?

The second child of the Bai family stepped forward with a sneer and said, "We knew you would deny it when we came, and we didn't expect to gain anything.

But it is impossible for evildoers to escape the law. Although we have insufficient evidence, we have a way to make you confess your evil deeds one by one. I hope you are really innocent, otherwise we will be very disappointed. "

"You, who are you? Do you still want to be tortured into a trick? Come, take them down for me. They pretend to be the princess of the Tang Dynasty, and take them all down for me." Wei Song panicked. From the words of the young man in front of him, he heard Out of [-] points of fear.

However, the yamen servants in a small county town are the opponents of the Bai family brothers. In less than a few rounds, more than a dozen yamen servants were all knocked to the ground. Is to be sentenced.

Half an hour later, the third child of the Bai family came out with a solemn expression and a confession.

"How about the third child? Can you gain a lot? Seeing you like this, could it be that we made a mistake and caused trouble?" The second child asked anxiously.

The youngest Bai Guangyao shook his head and said: "It is indeed a big trouble, but it was not caused by us, but by the county magistrate who confessed. He is not a big fish behind the scenes. There are others behind him, and they have a great background."

"Oh? What? In a small Luyi County, in a small Yangtou Mountain, is there any big person who can't pay attention? Who is so disregarding status?"

"Hehe, no one cares about one mountain and one county, but according to the confession of the Luyi county magistrate, that person controls no less than 40 counties in the entire surrounding area of ​​Luoyang and even [-]% of Henan Province. Luyi County alone is worth five years. If you pay [-] taels of silver, how much money can the people behind the scenes make?" The third child of the Bai family said solemnly.

Everyone was shocked, this account is too easy to calculate, at least 200 million taels of silver, this figure may not be considered anything in the eyes of the richest man Bai Fan, but in the eyes of anyone in Datang, or even in the imperial treasury In front of him, 200 million taels is a huge sum of money, which is the tax revenue of the entire Henan Province for a year.

"Hey, who is this person? Who is so generous and dares to embezzle so much money? Doesn't the father know anything about it?" Li Mingda exclaimed.

The second child of the Bai family guessed: "It can't be the governor of Luoyang, General Zhang Liang, right? In this land of Luoyang, besides him, I don't know who has such great energy."

The third child of the Bai family nodded slowly: "It is Zhang Liang. Although the county magistrate is just guessing, there is nothing wrong with it. Often the news channels of the court are not as accurate as those of the people. In any case, Zhang Liang's layout of the Luyi County The guilt of the land is proved."

"Then what should we do now? We can't solve such a big matter." Li Mingda said.

Bai Dingguo nodded and said: "It's not too late, I'll ask the reliable brothers of the Beggar Gang to send this evidence to Chang'an urgently. If something happened in Luyi County, Zhang Liang will know soon. We don't have much time, so I'm afraid we will startle the snake. "

When Li Er of the imperial court received this confession, it was already five days later. Although he was pleasantly surprised that his youngest daughter also knew how to share the country's worries and punished corrupt officials, but when she saw Zhang Liang, she felt like My heart skipped a beat.

The governor of Luoyang, Zhang Liang, once a general under his own command, entrusted him with a heavy responsibility to sit in Luoyang, the eastern capital. Unexpectedly, after 20 years, he was always praised as the most stable in the eastern capital, but today he gave himself A blow to the head, it seems that he has been operating in Luoyang for too long, and I blame myself for being too nostalgic, and I can't let the general go to the battlefield, so let him hold the rear firmly.

"Come here, the king of Jin and Li Ji, Minister of the Ministry of War, will come quickly."

In five days, the story of Yangtou Mountain had already been spread in Henan Province, and Zhang Liang in Luoyang also got the news. Although he was a little vigilant, he thought that it was only the Green Forest incident that affected his own interests, and it was not too much. care.

But as soon as Li Ji's army in Chang'an City moved, Luoyang immediately received the news. As the most important person in Luoyang, Zhang Liang could not have no eyeliner in Chang'an. No, there are post office public telegraphs in some big cities.

"Li Ji sent troops to Luoyang in a menacing manner. It seems that there is something wrong. Could it be that His Majesty has noticed something? Come on, quickly go to Luyi County to investigate and see what happened there?" Zhang Liang panicked.
