Chapter 054 In-depth investigation

The county captain was a little confused when he heard this.

Su Nian'an explained: "It is said that He Miao who died was the youngest son of the county magistrate. Where are his other sons?"

The county lieutenant frowned and said, "He also has two sons, one in the county and one in another county."

Su Nian'an continued to ask: "The son in the county is the eldest son?"

The county captain nodded, "Is there any problem?"

While Su Nian'an recalled the situation in his previous life, he thought about the whole incident, and also completed part of the causes of the Li Ling'er incident.

Thinking of this, she said: "What is his son doing in the county?"

The county lieutenant thought for a while and said, "I heard that I am working under the clan of Chang Shi to earn a living."

After hearing this, I finally understood why the governor asked the county magistrate to be secretly investigated.

Su Nian'an carefully selected some of the things he knew and said, "Chang Shi should be at odds with the Governor."

The county lieutenant frowned, "I don't dare to speak nonsense about the affairs of important people in the county."

The last time the governor came for an unannounced visit, he only had a quick meeting with the officials of Qiantang City and then went back. Therefore, the officials received very little effective information.

Su Nian'an shook his head secretly. These pedantic and upright officials sometimes were unlovable.

"Ignoring everything else for now, the county magistrate should have already taken his side."

The county captain nodded as if he had some understanding.

Su Nian'an continued: "If this opportunity is used well, it will also be an opportunity for you."

The county lieutenant smiled bitterly and said: "As a child of ordinary people, my ability to strive for my current status is basically over. In fact, I don't have any more ideas."

"Prince General Xiang Ning has the guts! How will you know if you can do it if you don't work hard?"

When the wife heard this, she also shook the county captain's hand vigorously. The county captain held the wife's hand with his backhand and smiled at her.

Su Nian'an put her hand on her forehead and said, "Two of you, there are others here!"

After hearing this, the lady blushed. If she hadn't wanted to know some information and do her best to help her husband, she would have wanted to run away.

After thinking for a while, Su Nian'an asked again: "Does your Excellency know some of the corruption of the county magistrate?"

The county captain nodded and said, "I also got some news recently. The county magistrate secretly raised some bandits to help them rob the countryside, occupy mountains and roads, collect protection fees from passing merchants, etc."

"Well! It should be more than that. Let's dig as deep as possible! We have to take the initiative as soon as possible and report to the governor. Otherwise, we will be the passive ones."

The county captain nodded, "Then what should I do?"

"Start with the movements of Commander Wang and the county magistrate. The county magistrate will not do such obvious things."

The county lieutenant looked at the master on the side and said, "Immediately arrange for people to start the investigation. Pay attention to confidentiality."

After the master received the order, he immediately went out to make arrangements.



The next day, early morning.

Su Nian'an led everyone to exercise as a routine. Now she feels that she has lost at least five kilograms. Aunt Zheng has lost more weight, at least eight kilograms.

The round face shows signs of transforming into an oval face.

Xiu Yi Xuan's business is still very good, including three other branches.

An industry chain has now been established. As Su Nian'an continues to launch new products, people are constantly coming to try them out.

Xiu Yi Xuan basically single-handedly changed the way people dress in Qiantang City.

Moreover, Su Nian'an has been living in the county captain's house since the county captain came back. The county captain announced to the outside world that he hired a counselor.

Su Nian'an always wore a cloak when traveling with the county captain.

So it didn't attract much attention.

And in the past half month, there have been many reminders of the mature sister sound in Su Nianan's mind.

In the end, Sister Yu couldn't stand it anymore, so she just concentrated on calculating all the reminders together, and then Su Nian'an got reminders every day.

"Successfully helped 38,250 people. Calculated based on the national destiny, life expectancy increased by ten minutes."

The governor should have listened to her suggestion and used Baduanjin in army training.

Su Nian'an also breathed a sigh of relief. Some things about the governor should be able to be reversed.



The county magistrate's office was hung with white cloth, and mournful music sounded.

Some gray hair appeared on the magistrate's temples overnight, while the beautiful middle-aged woman's eyes were red and swollen, and she was very sad.

At this time, the people in the city realized that the county magistrate's family had actually lost their youngest son, and the man with gray hair had given up his son with black hair.

Coupled with the propaganda of the city guard, the people all knew that He Miao was killed by bandits on the way to provide disaster relief.

The people in the city who did not know the truth began to praise the county magistrate more and more, and the county magistrate's reputation also grew.

This was something the county magistrate did not expect. Of course, he also did not expect to gain the people's support in this way.

At night, Commander Wang came back after a long journey.

He also brought back several civilians and soldiers.

The common people are just a few people among the confused onlookers, and the soldiers are two people in the county captain's army.

From the people's mouths, Commander Wang obtained the fact that when they left the village to receive disaster relief, the relief team was surrounded and killed by hungry fleeing bandits, and the bandits were killed by the county captain.

No valuable information was obtained, but instead the people were asked to praise the county captain.

The county magistrate's face turned dark at that time. Commander Wang Tong watched his words and quickly asked people to take several people away.

It's a little unusual for two soldiers.

When Commander Wang brought the two soldiers to the living room, the county magistrate was still angry.

After the county magistrate calmed down, Commander Wang ordered two soldiers to tell the magistrate what happened again, and the magistrate keenly discovered the problem.

Staring at the two soldiers sharply, "Are you lying?"

The two soldiers looked at each other, their eyes flickering, but they still shook their heads calmly, "Your Excellency, you are overthinking. Everything we said is true."

The county magistrate smiled gloomily and said: "You two are both from Qiantang, and you have to be responsible for certain things."

The two of them still didn't speak. Seeing this, the county magistrate's face darkened, "Then let me ask you, when will you catch the remnants of those bandits?"

The two replied: "Yesterday morning."

"Then after you captured these people, did you escort them back to the city directly?"

The two nodded, "Yes, we will be guarding you all the way back to the city."

The county magistrate's smile was a little breathtaking, "Eight or nine thousand people, can't they guard eight or nine hundred unarmed people?"

The two still nodded and said: "When people's desire to escape is aroused, there is still a lot of energy."

The expression on the county magistrate's face completely calmed down, "It depends on the situation. When the comparison is so huge, why do I not believe it!"

The two of them seemed to have some doubts, but after all, they were not close associates of the county magistrate and knew very little, so the county magistrate couldn't ask anything.

But, for him, he doesn't need too many facts.

His own judgment was enough. Thinking of this, he waved the two soldiers to go down.
