Chapter 307 Arriving at Ji'an City

Lin Cunde's words made Peng Shi very surprised and couldn't believe it!

And Lin Cunde asked him to wait and see how many acres the county magistrates in Ji'an Prefecture had!

"Are they so brave? With so many acres of land, plus those shops and mansions, it's worth tens of thousands of taels! How can a county magistrate get tens of thousands of taels?" Peng Shi still looked at Lin Cunde in disbelief. said.

"The least!" Lin Cunde reminded again.

"This, this, they don't want to die?" Peng Shi still couldn't believe it.

"There are ministers above, there are elders protecting them, and they also send things to the officials above in exchange for peace! Why do you think there was a pause last time when the Central Military Governor's Mansion was reorganized? It was because they found that after reorganizing the guard post, they could actually Involving civil servants, you think it's ridiculous or not!" Lin Cunde smiled and explained.

The reason why Lin Cunde said this to Peng Shi was because he wanted him to understand that the officials below were not as honest as he saw!

Moreover, Peng Shi had been in the capital before and had never served as a local official, so he did not know the following situations.

"This, eh!" Peng Shi didn't know what to say at this moment. Lin Cunde's words just now subverted his understanding. In his opinion, most of those county magistrates were candidates, Jinshi, and scholars. , how can you do such a thing?

"Are you free these days? Forget it, you should go back. Your father is not in good health!" Lin Cunde felt something was wrong after saying that. Peng Shi's father was paralyzed in bed!

Originally, Lin Cunde wanted Peng Shi to take a look here to see how many of the officials in Ji'an Prefecture had problems and how big their problems were!

In order to correct Peng Shi's thinking, don't pay attention to disciples, colleagues, etc. You don't even know what some people are doing below!

Rather than protecting them, it is better to protect the people, get that salary, and feel at ease!

"It doesn't matter. I'll send my servants back and notify my two younger brothers to ask them to take care of my father. We can still free up a few days!" Peng Shi knew that Lin Cunde wanted to let him see the situation in Ji'an, and Peng Shi Want to see it too!

Another thing is that Peng Shi also hopes to have a good relationship with Lin Cunde. He hopes to return to the capital after Ding You's term expires. With Lin Cunde's help, it will be easier for him to be an official!

"Well, if that's possible, you can stay with me for a few days!" Lin Cunde nodded and said to Peng Shi.

"Okay!" Peng Shi nodded!

Soon, Qiu Shuang prepared a gift for Peng Shi. Lin Cunde gave the gift to Peng Shi. Peng Shi was very grateful, and then asked the servant he brought to take these things back to his hometown, and then pick him up at Ji'an Mansion. Own.

Lin Cunde's servants quickly packed their things, and Lin Cunde took Peng Shi to Ji'an Mansion!

Originally, Lin Cunde didn't plan to go to Ji'an Mansion today and wanted Zhang Lirong to come directly to his home. But when Peng Shi came, the plan changed!

For Lin Cunde, the Ji'an government's anti-corruption and implementation of the New Deal is not important. What is important is to let Peng Shi have an understanding of the behavior of the officials below and let him know how ridiculous and hateful the things done by the previous cabinet were!

Lin Cunde hoped to pull Peng Shi out of those so-called clean streams or alliances, and let him focus on doing something for the people!

After all, Peng Shi was the top pick, the top pick just two years ago!

There is no doubt about ability and talent!

The key is to understand, to re-understand what he heard and saw in the cabinet before, and what are the motives behind the ministers in the cabinet!

Are they really serving the people wholeheartedly, or do they all have their own interests?

Soon, Lin Cunde and the others arrived at Ji'an Mansion!

Zhang Lirong learned that Lin Cunde had come to Ji'an Mansion, and he quickly went to the city gate to greet him!

After Lin Cunde and Zhang Lirong finished talking last time, Zhang Lirong felt much calmer. Moreover, he is now also counting the data on the corvee, ding and consumption in Ji'an Prefecture!

This is not obvious, it is shocking at first glance, and from the data, Zhang Lirong knew that the colleagues in Ji'an Prefecture, as well as the general magistrates, and the referees all had problems, and even the low-ranking officials below had problems. This made Zhang Lirong very angry!

But he did all this secretly without informing his subordinates!

In the past few days, several county magistrates have come to see him. After all, he is the only one who has seen Lin Cunde, and no other officials have seen him!

Therefore, they hoped that Zhang Lirong could lead them to Lin Cunde's mansion and visit Lin Cunde again!

Zhang Lirong did not agree, and even said that Lin Cunde would come over in the next few days!

Unexpectedly, Lin Cunde came here today!

Soon, Lin Cunde's team arrived at the gate of Ji'an Prefecture. Lin Cunde learned that Zhang Lirong had come to greet him, and many officials were also there. Lin Cunde stopped the carriage and got off the carriage himself!

Zhang Lirong took the officials to salute Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde nodded and said to Zhang Lirong, "I will be staying in Ji'an Mansion these days. Can you arrange a place to stay?"

"Yes!" Zhang Lirong nodded quickly and continued: "The accommodation has been arranged a long time ago and has been cleaned up. I will ask someone to clean it up again later!"

"No, I've brought my servants. You can send someone to take them there later. Okay, let's go to the government office!" Lin Cunde said and turned around and got in the car without talking to Zhang Lirong any more!

If Lin Cunde was like this before, Zhang Lirong might be frightened, but now, he is not afraid anymore. He knows that Lin Cunde does not want to talk to those officials. Many of the officials behind him will probably be arrested!

Soon, Lin Cunde and the others arrived at the Yamen of Ji'an Mansion!

Lin Cunde went directly in and sat on the main seat in the lobby!

Then look at the officials below!

"Sir, I wonder if you have any instructions for coming here today?" Zhang Lirong stood up and said to Lin Cunde.

"Introduce these people!" Lin Cunde said to Zhang Lirong.

When Zhang Lirong heard this, he immediately began to introduce him. The officials who were introduced were very excited and thought they would have a chance to get close to Lin Cunde today!

They did not expect that Lin Cunde wanted to know who needed to be arrested here.

When the officials heard the introduction, they immediately stood up and smiled flatteringly at Lin Cunde. Lin Cunde just nodded! Soon, Zhang Lirong finished the introduction. Lin Cunde was sighing in his heart at this moment. There were more than 20 officials sitting here, large and small. Only three officials had no problems, and all the others had problems!

Lin Cunde waved his hand outside, and dozens of Jinyi guards rushed in immediately!

"This, this, and him, if we don't arrest him, we will arrest all the others and ransack their homes!" Lin Cunde pointed to the few officials who had no problems and said to the hundred households in Jinyiwei.

"Yes, sir!" The hundred households waved their hands, and the Jinyi guards rushed forward and directly controlled the officials.

"My lord, my lord, why is this happening?"

"My lord, I am unjustly accused! My lord, I am unjustly accused!"

"Have mercy, my lord, have mercy!"

The officials below were all panicked and shouting randomly!

"There is no need to cry for injustice, and there is no need to cry for mercy. You know what you have done, how much money you have embezzled, and how much people's wealth you have plundered. You know that you are still crying for injustice?" Lin Cunde looked at the officials impatiently and said.

"Sir, there are no subordinates!" One of the officials said to Lin Cunde.

"You don't. You are one of the magistrates of Ji'an Prefecture. Your hometown is in Jiujiang Prefecture. You have bought more than 4,000 acres of land in Jiujiang Prefecture in the past few years. You say no? Please explain to me, where does this money come from? of?

Also, your brother has bought more than 7,000 acres of land in the past few years. How much of it is yours? Your brother is still a person with leg problems. He couldn't do farm work at home before. Now he has 7,000 acres of land. How much of it is yours? Let me explain, come on, if you can prove that the money for purchasing the land came from a legal source, I will let you go immediately, and I will give you a promotion and make you a Tongzhi! Lin Cunde pointed at the general judge and said with contempt.

At this moment, the general judge was completely exhausted and no longer dared to refute!

"Don't say that I don't care about the officials in my hometown, and don't say that I don't take care of you! To be honest, I will try my best to protect your family. At the very least, I will let your women not join the Jiaofang Department, and the men will be given to your family. Leave one to stay in your hometown, so that your family will not be extinct. Twenty acres of land will be left for you! The rest will all belong to the court!

Whether you say it or not is up to you. Don't take any chances. If I find out that you are hiding anything, I'm sorry, but the previous promise doesn't count as not saying it, and I will increase the punishment!

If you don't die this time, you will probably be exiled. There is still a chance of survival in exile, so fight for it yourself! "Lin Cunde sat there and looked at the officials and said.

All those officials lowered their heads, and no one dared to look at Lin Cunde. Lin Cunde could come to arrest them, so it seemed that he had something under control!

"Take it away and bring it to the cell in Ji'an Mansion. You let all the jailers leave the cell and you take over. Magistrate Zhang, you and Jin Yiwei will interrogate together. Tomorrow, someone will come from Zhejiang. You will conduct a surprise interrogation first!" Lin Cunde He said to the people below.

"Yes, sir!" Zhang Lirong and Jin Yiwei Baihu immediately said with their hands in hand.

Those people were soon taken away!

Zhang Lirong stood there and sighed with emotion. Apart from himself, there were only three people left!

"I'll go to the place where I live, and you can interrogate me!" Lin Cunde stood up and said to Zhang Lirong.

"Farewell, Your Majesty!" Zhang Lirong said, cupping his hands to Lin Cunde.

Soon, Lin Cunde took Peng Shi to the residence arranged by Zhang Lirong, which was not bad! Entered the hospital three times and kept it very clean!

Peng Shi just followed Lin Cunde to the Yamen of Ji'an Prefecture, and he also saw Lin Cunde's style of doing things, arresting him as he said, without talking nonsense.

"Sir, is it inappropriate to arrest like this? Is there any evidence?" Peng Shi still asked doubtfully. It's terrible that there are only four people left in one government office.

"How dare I arrest someone without evidence? Just wait. The interrogation report will probably be sent in the evening, and you will know by yourself when the time comes!" Lin Cunde said to Peng Shi with a smile.
