Three hundred and twentieth nine chapters county guard
Zhao Jin looked around. Houses had collapsed and ruins were everywhere. Some temporary thatched houses could be seen, and it was unknown how many victims were crowded there.
Zhao Jin was outside and looked in from the door. It was full of victims, all in ragged clothes.
There are still many victims who are clearing the ruins, and there is a pile of thatch beside them.
"Did they build thatched houses spontaneously or was it arranged by the government?" Zhao Jin asked.
The soldier glanced at him and said, "Spontaneously, the government office is extremely busy right now, so there is nowhere left to take care of this."
"However," a smile appeared on the soldier's face, "these thatches were bought by the governor!"
In the past, there was no need to buy things like thatch.
But now, it is not easy to find dry thatch in the entire city.
Speaking of the county guard, the soldiers were full of praise and said: "The county guard is really a good official. He has been in office for so many years, and none of the people in Hedong County does not admire him!"
Hearing this, Zhao Jin's heart moved and he said calmly: "Oh? I think the governor who came to Hedong County must have done a lot of things that benefit the people to make you admire him so much."
"Of course!" the soldier said with some pride: "After the flood broke out and the court's disaster relief money was robbed by bandits, the county governor sold his property and bought food to give porridge to the victims every day."
"If not, I don't know how many people will die!"
Selling property...
From the current point of view, the Lord Sheriff is indeed a good official, but he is still the most suspicious.
"I would like to ask, have you found any information about the current case of disaster bank robbery?"
The soldier scratched his head and said, "I don't know this little guy, but those two groups of bandits are the only ones who have the courage to go against the government and rob such a large amount of official silver."
"Have they been here for a long time?" Zhao Jin smiled and said, "The matter of the disaster silver being robbed is of great importance. I am really worried, so I asked more questions."
"It should, it should, but the county governor will know better about this."
Zhao Jin nodded slightly and tried a few more words to make sure that the other party did not know these things before giving up.
Chen Xiao folded his arms beside him and watched Zhao Jin test the soldiers with cold eyes, while Zhao Xingzhi listened carefully and looked for loopholes.
When the three of them arrived at the government office, Fang Zhengshan was not there.
The county magistrate came forward eagerly, "Your Highness, Lord Marquis, Colonel Chen, please come in!"
Zhao Xingzhi walked at the front, frowned slightly and asked, "Where is Mr. Fang?"
"Well," the county magistrate looked a little embarrassed, "Master Fang is giving porridge to the people right now, so he didn't come to greet you. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Zhao Jin curled his lips and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's words are serious. Mr. Fang is doing things for the people. How can we blame him?"
"Hey!" Jun Cheng looked very happy.
Zhao Jin and others followed Jun Cheng to the flower hall, and soon a maid came to serve tea.
Zhao Xingzhi was about to ask about the current situation in Hedong County when he saw a Yamen guard coming in and whispering a few words in the ear of the county magistrate.
The Jun Cheng looked troubled. Seeing this, Zhao Xingzhi held the teacup and said quietly: "If you have something to do, Jun Cheng, just go and get busy."
"This..." The county magistrate hesitated for a moment, then cupped his hands towards Zhao Xingzhi and others and said, "Then, I'll excuse you."
After the county magistrate left, Zhao Xingzhi looked at Zhao Jin and asked, "Marquis Xuanping, what do you think?"
"As of now, there are no clues." Zhao Jin shook his head and looked at the flower hall of the government office.
Just looking at the government office, what the soldier said is true.
Except for some necessary furniture, there is almost nothing else in the entire government office.
There is not even a single calligraphy or painting on the wall, nor are there any precious ornaments such as vases.
Zhao Jin took a look at the only vase. It was a cheap vase that didn't cost even a tael of silver.
Chen Xiao said in a somewhat sharp tone: "Now, does Marquis Xuanping still doubt Fang Zhengshan?"
"Captain Chen." Zhao Jin turned his head and looked at Chen Xiao, "As long as the person behind the robbery of the disaster money is not found for a day, Fang Zhengshan will be suspected."
"Not only Fangzhengshan, but also officials of all sizes in Hedong County cannot escape suspicion."
Chen Xiao was silent for a moment and twitched the corner of his mouth, "Suspicions are suspicions, but if Marquis Xuanping resorts to the trick of subduing and beating, the lower officials will not let it go."
After hearing this, Zhao Jin finally understood why Chen Xiao had always been so disgusted with his suspicion of Fang Zhengshan, but until now, there had been no significant practical action to stop him from continuing to doubt Fang Zhengshan.
Although Chen Xiao believed in Fang Zhengshan, he also understood that Fang Zhengshan could not be cleared of suspicion for the time being. He was just worried that Zhao Jin would eventually surrender.
Zhao Jin chuckled lightly and said, "Colonel Chen, if you have anything to say, please speak up. It's not like I have never handled a case. Unless it has been determined, how can I ever try to beat him into a trick?"
After knowing who the people traveling with him were, he went to get to know Zhao Jin and Zhao Xingzhi.
He thought about it and found that there were indeed no relevant rumors.
"It's best this way." Chen Xiao said, rubbing his neck.
After saying that, he stood up and walked outside.
"Chen Xiao."
This was the first time that Zhao Jin called Chen Xiao by his name, with a warning in his tone.
"I understand that Hedong County is your hometown, and Fangzheng Mountain is popular among the people. It is human nature for you to prefer Fangzheng Mountain, but..."
Zhao Jin knocked on the table with his fingers and said in a dull voice, "If you leak the news to Fang Zhengshan and Chen Xiao, I am not a soft-hearted or indecisive person."
Chen Xiao sneered, "This official is not a fool."
After saying a few words, Chen Xiao directly raised his feet and left.
Zhao Xingzhi muttered depressedly, "This Chen Xiao is too arrogant."
"He was beaten less." Zhao Jin looked calm and even took a sip of tea leisurely. "Junche was not like this when he first came to Yunzhou."
Thinking of Qi Yunche's temperament and comparing it with Chen Xiao, Zhao Xingzhi nodded in agreement and said, "Both of them are the same."
"I don't deserve a beating."
"I don't deserve a beating."
Zhao Jin and Zhao Xingzhi said in unison.
The two looked at each other and laughed.
"Marquis Xuanping, what are your plans?" Zhao Xingzhi first expressed his thoughts, "Fang Zhengshan's reputation among the people is too high, we cannot touch him rashly."
"Furthermore, there are too many officials, big and small, in Hedong County, so it is impractical to check them one by one."
"How about we stay put and investigate the current situation secretly, and then see if we can find any clues."
"As long as it has been done, there will be no traces." Zhao Jin narrowed his eyes slightly, "We can observe it for a few days and then investigate."
Zhao Jin put the teacup in his hand on the table and lost the thought of drinking tea.
