When Yun heard this, he hurriedly said, "Sir, please wait!"

Li Hao raised his eyebrows: "What do you have to say to Mrs. Cao?"

Yun said slowly: "The civilian woman is a wife and a family. She doesn't know where the official documents are, but the son is the chief minister of the prefecture of the Ting, so she should know." She said and winked at Cao Qingyun.

Although Cao Qingyun was very angry, he understood Yun's eyes and said in great discomfort: "I saw my father moved some books from the governor's mansion to the study room, perhaps the official documents that the adults were looking for."

Li Hao narrowed his eyes when he heard this. Yun's sudden compromise did not surprise him. He also vaguely guessed that there should be something shameful in Cao's mansion, so he didn't dare to search for it. Should he forcefully search it and see what monsters and monsters are hidden in this demon nest.

Li Hao finally gave up this idea. He had only two purposes for coming here this time. First, he wanted to get back the official documents, and secondly, he wanted to give the other party a warning so that they could know that his new governor was not a soft persimmon. After all, under the current situation, it was useless to just surrender. He had to be strong when he was backed by the 500-right Guard.

However, he cannot break up now. If he is forced too hard, he is very likely to be out of control. After all, Cao Tian’s backstage is Gao Chang, so he is still a little afraid of this.

Since the Cao family told him that the official documents were in the study, Li Hao was not embarrassed, so he asked them to lead the way to the study, retrieved a report of the official documents, and then returned to the governor's mansion.

That night, Li Hao began to read the official documents, but the government did not read in advance, and looked at money, grain and military affairs. After reading it, as Li Hao expected, the Tingzhou money treasury was empty. As for Zhechong Wei Mansion, he actually recruited two thousand soldiers, which had long exceeded the system. However, this was a border defense town, and it was understandable that the Wei Mansion had exceeded the system. However, Cao Tian was a man from Gaochang and he did not have to worry about other countries' invasion. Under such a premise, he recruited so many soldiers that he had to make Li Hao think about it.

After roughly reading the official documents, it was already late at night. There was still something big to do tomorrow, so Li Hao went to bed and rested.

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, Li Hao got up and punched in the yard for half an hour. At the third hour of Mao, he sent Lu Yun, Li Yuanzhong and Peng Hai to invite three officials to meet him, namely Si Cang, Treasurer, and the three judges of the Si Bing. The official positions of the Judgment Department were still under Sima and the Chief Secretary. Compared with the governor, they were very arrogant. Yesterday, Li Hao sent someone to summon him, but none of them came. It doesn't matter. Li Hao was already prepared today. Lu Yun and others would invite him, and if he didn't come, he would tie him up.

Not long after, Si Cang, Treasurer, and Si Bing all came. Seeing their unhappy appearance, they could expect that Lu Yun and others would definitely not be very friendly in their invitations. Since Lu Yun and the others had all played black faces, Li Hao played blushing and smiled when they met: "I will introduce myself. My official's surname is Li Hao, and he is the new governor of Tingzhou. He took office yesterday and didn't invite three people to come. He had to send the General of the Right Guard and the Captain Zhaowu to invite them. It's really hard for the three of them to invite them."

Although he smiled very friendly, his words were not friendly at all. The three of them were shocked when they heard this. Unexpectedly, Peng Hai and the others had such high positions. The General of the Right Guard, even in Chang'an, was awesome and actually ran for the new governor. They suddenly felt that the young governor in front of them was very mysterious and hurriedly said, "Don't dare."

Li Hao continued to ask with a smile: "At the beginning of my office, I want to manage Tingzhou well. If you have to manage one of the provinces, first ask about the money and grain. The two judges of the warehouses in the warehouses in Tingzhou, how much grain is there in this warehouse? How much money is there?"

When the two of them were stunned when they heard this, they looked at each other without answering. Li Hao frowned unhappy and said coldly: "Are the two judges who are in charge of the position of the corpse and know nothing about their own affairs?"

Si Cang hurriedly said, "Return to the governor, the soil in Tingzhou is poor and not suitable for planting, so there is no grain stored in the warehouse."

"Oh." Li Hao didn't say much, and turned to look at the treasurer, "Where is the treasurer?"

The Treasurer replied: "Sir, Tingzhou is a place of bitter and cold, and people's livelihood is difficult, so the treasury is empty."

"No money or food?" Li Hao sneered when he heard this, "When the taxes are entrusted back to Beijing after the autumn, what will you ask me to pay?"

The two of them buried their heads and kept silent, and the meaning was very obvious, and that was not their business.

Li Hao picked up the account books of the warehouse and the treasury from the table and smiled, "The two judges, the fake accounts are good, not to mention the distant ones. From the first month of last year to now, you have made thirteen fake accounts, with a total of 5,800 stagnants of public funds and 1,800 stagnants of grain. Do you think this official can't see it?"

He said that he smashed two books of account books on the faces of the two, and the two were so scared that their faces were pale. They never expected that although the new governor was not old, he was so capable that he could see through the fake accounts they made at a glance, and he said it clearly. You must know that the fake accounts they made could definitely be fake and had never been exposed to the previous governors.

The two of them were sweating in cold sweat on their foreheads. Li Hao returned to his official position and sat down, and suddenly slapped the table: "Kneel down!"

The two were so scared that they both knelt down and complained that they were wronged. Li Hao was too lazy to see them and said coldly: "We are still colleagues just now, but now you are already criminals. It doesn't matter. As long as you tell us where you are going to lose money and food, I will definitely give it a lighter."

"There is absolutely no shortage of money and food in Beizhi. Please observe clearly!" The two beg for mercy and refused to admit it.

Li Hao seemed to have expected them to say this, and sneered: "Okay, the evidence is as strong as a mountain, and I still refuse to admit it. I want to see who can save you! People come!"

Two right guards walked in, and Li Hao said slowly: "Take them to prison and wait for the defeat!"

"Yes!" The two right guards immediately besieged the two of them.

Li Hao picked up his brush and wrote a memorial, stamped it with an official seal, and handed it to Peng Hai, saying, "Send someone to send a fast horse to Xizhou Post Station, leave from Xizhou Post Station, and send it to Chang'an. Remember, don't go from Tingzhou Post Station, as Tingzhou Post Station may not be trusted."

"Yes!" After taking the memorial, he turned around and went out to find a right guard, and gave him some advice and sent him away.

Li Hao then picked up the pen and wrote it out again, and then stamped it with an official seal. At this time, Peng Hai had just come in from outside the door, and Li Hao handed him the official document and said, "You hold this official document and take someone to search the mansions of the two. These two people are extremely cunning. Since they have lost money and food, some of them must be filled with their own pockets. If you have any gains, come and repay me immediately."

"Yes!" Peng Hai took the official document and prepared to set off.

Li Hao suddenly said again: "Wait a minute, when searching, pay attention to the underground. Some people like to bury money and other things underground."

Peng Hai responded again, then turned around and went out, and took everyone to the two judges of the warehouse warehouse to search.

The two jailing custody departments of the warehouse were imprisoned, and two positions were vacant. Li Hao asked Lu Yun to call Qin Wei in and asked: "Qin Wei, can you settle the accounts?"

Qin Wei smiled indifferently and bowed, "Sir, this is the villain's old job."

Li Hao said happily: "There are two positions in Tingzhou Sicang and Treasury. Are you interested?"

Qin Wei's face turned solemn when he heard this, he tidied up his clothes, knelt down, and said, "It is Qin Wei's lifelong wish to contribute to the court."

"Okay!" Li Hao wrote a job certificate, stamped with an official seal, and said, "Then, I will appoint you to temporarily serve as the Tingzhou Warehouse Treasury. It will be probated for three months. If you do your duty and responsibility, I will submit a report to the court and ask for you."

"Thank you for your support!" Qin Wei was ecstatic when he heard this, and kowtowed deeply, with great respect. Jin Li and others outside the hall were so happy to see Qin Wei becoming an official. Although his official position was not very high, he was an important position in charge of money and grain, which was very awesome.

After punishing the two judges of the warehouse warehouse, Li Hao looked at the judges of the military commander again with a smile. The military commander was so full of goose bumps that he saw him. Before Li Hao asked, he knelt down and said repeatedly: "Sir, please spare me. Tingzhou Weifu's over-recruitment is not a villain's idea. Give him a thousand courage, and he must not make decisions without authorization. In fact, it was ordered by the former governor. Moreover, the former governor had asked the court for instructions and obtained the court's approval, the villain was responsible for recruiting soldiers."

Li Hao was stunned when he heard this. He thought about it carefully. Well, everything makes sense. The previous governor was strong and wanted to fight with Cao Tian and protect the Silk Road. However, he was unable to do so and had too few soldiers. So he submitted a memorial to the court, requesting the expansion of the Guardian Mansion and the recruitment of 800 soldiers to 2,000. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin approved it. It can be seen that Li Shimin still attaches great importance to the Silk Road. After all, the border is the most uncontrollable place under the imperial court, and it is very likely that there will be self-respecting.

After hearing what the Si Bing judged the Si Sect, Li Hao didn't say much, waved his hand and asked him to retreat, thinking about something.

Li Yuanzhong, who was standing beside him, saw that he had not spoken for a long time, asked, "Shi Kuang, what are you thinking?"

Li Hao said: "I'm thinking about what should I pay the imperial taxes in two months if I have no money or food in the warehouse."

Lu Yun frowned and said, "This is indeed a difficult problem. Although the taxes of the Tang Dynasty are not high, the system is strict and must not be denied."

Li Hao thought for a while and began to read the official documents again. This time he was looking through the official documents of household registration and tax documents. Then he calculated based on the household registration. The tax paid in Tingzhou this year should be 1,500 trump cards, not a lot. After all, Tingzhou has only more than 20,000 people. Seeing this number, Li Hao breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, if it really doesn't work, then he can only pay his own money first. When he thinks that he wants to lose money, he will feel a little unhappy. He just took office and is going to lose money. What a mess.

The tax affairs will be put on hold for the time being, and Li Hao has begun to consider how to seize power. According to the current situation in Tingzhou, Li Hao feels that if he wants to seize power, he will seize military power first. After all, the great man once said that power is out of the barrel of a gun. This is an indisputable fact. In such a place, whoever has the biggest fist will be tough to speak.

Since he wanted to seize military power, he had to first pull Yun Meng off. Although he was the Zhe Chong Commander, it was difficult for him to lead the troops himself, and he had no time to train soldiers, so he could only hand it over to the left to the left Guoyi Commander. Now the Right Guoyi Commander Wang Yuantai is already his own person. Although he has no status in the Zhe Chong Guard Mansion, as long as he arranges the Zuo Guoyi Commander as his own, the military power will be under his control.

Li Hao thought for a long time, and suddenly Peng Hai rushed in anxiously: "Mr. Li, Bei Zhi found 800 stones of corn and 2800 taels of gold at the homes of Wang Jin, Si Cang and Zhang Cai!"

"Yes, it seems that they have lost money and food for many years, and they have accumulated so much. These two small blood-sucking insects have absorbed so much essence from the people. It's really hateful." At this point, he suddenly stopped, and a flash of inspiration in his mind. A clever plan to seize military power surged into his heart. So he said loudly, "Send the order and let the commander of Zuo Guoyi, Yun Meng, guard these two people well. If there is any mistake, I will only ask him."

After he said that, he raised his lips and showed a mysterious smile. When Lu Yun saw his smile, he knew that he had a trick again, and... someone must be in trouble.
