"A Mr. Zheng sacrifices himself for others and works hard without caring about his own life. A Mr. Zheng is upright and would rather break than bend."
Liu Qubing looked at Zheng Zhongqi who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Zheng Aiqing, how many sons do you have?"
"this……"
Zheng Zhongqi was just slightly dazed, and immediately responded fluently: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for caring so much. The capital is quite far from Baihu County, so I didn't know the truth. Now, Wei Chen's son is working for your Majesty and is still in prison. Please immediately
Arrest the Baihu County magistrate and find out the truth as soon as possible."
Liu Qubing shook his head: "I'm tired, please leave first."
"Wei Chen resigns."
Cao Yansheng and others answered at the same time.
Zheng Zhongqi lowered his head slightly. He originally thought Liu Qubing would comply, but he did not expect that he would choose to respond with silence.
But, so what.
If you catch your own son, you have to pay the price.
He also lowered his head, gritted his teeth and said, "Wei Chen, please retire."
After the crowd was gone and the hall became empty again, Liu Qubing took out the official document from Baihu County and read it carefully again.
"Your Majesty."
Eunuch Ade came over quickly at this time, knelt on the ground and said: "We have found out clearly. Zheng Jiabao has rushed to Baihu County with his personal followers. According to the time, we can arrive tonight."
"well……"
Liu Qubing threw the official document on the table and said, "He is a good minister. I can't protect him."
…
After the four important ministers withdrew, news had spread in the capital - Zheng Mingti of the Zheng family had been arrested.
The whole capital was shocked.
This is incredible.
Everyone's first thought is that this thing is fake.
He can't be real either.
Now the rumors are becoming more and more unrealistic.
The dignified son of Zheng Guogong, how dare you arrest the six gates, and how dare you arrest the inner fish dragon guard!
Why should I arrest a small county magistrate?
It's true that people spread rumors with just one mouth and then refute them, and people nowadays are becoming less and less public-minded.
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, a person came to the front of the hall in a hurry. Dong Qingshu had just changed his clothes.
"Master Qi, the matter has been investigated clearly. Zheng Mingti has really been arrested."
"Is it true?" Dong Qingshu frowned: "Is there something wrong with this county magistrate's head?"
Last time, Li Xing completely offended the scholars in the world, and Dong Qingshu is the representative of the scholars in the world.
This means that his career is almost over.
Now, he had offended the Duke's government again. Dong Qingshu had a clear vision of this man's future: a dead end.
"Master, my subordinates have found out that Zheng Jiabao from the Duke's Mansion has taken people to Baihu County."
"well……"
Dong Qingshu shook his head and said nothing more.
At this moment, conversations like this were happening all over the capital.
After all, it was quite a big news, and everyone couldn't help but get together to discuss it. Of course, the most important thing was to discuss how this idiot magistrate would die.
Was he stabbed by Zheng Jiabao's knife, or was he sneaked to the capital, where he was first tortured in every possible way and then executed according to the Daqian King's method.
His death is certain, the key is how he dies.
Anyway, there is no shortage of people who died unjustly in Daqian. Li Xing's fate is nothing more than a lesson to those who will come after him.
…
At this moment, Baihu County.
Li Xing knew nothing about the approaching crisis. He was busy interviewing candidates.
After the notice was posted, the effect was surprisingly good, and there was an endless stream of people applying for the job.
Survival has always been difficult, especially here. There are also many idle people in Baihu County who have nothing to do and cannot find a job.
The job of the county government can at least be responsible for three meals a day, which is considered good.
However, they cannot find jobs elsewhere, and they may not be qualified for county government jobs.
Some are missing an eye, some are lame in one leg, and some are stammering when speaking.
Looking at it this way, Zhao Lei and the others are much more pleasing to the eye.
Finally, the horse picked out the best from a thousand miles away, picked out a pair of brothers, and brought them to Li Xing in person.
The brothers were named Zhang Long and Zhang Hu. They were tall and tall, like two black iron towers.
"They look like a pair of doorkeepers!"
"Your Majesty is right, I am going to deploy them to guard the city gate."
From Ma Qianli's point of view, this is the top priority. Now that Baihu County is well established and there are more people, it's a pity that taxes have been unable to be collected.
Ma Qianli's plan was to place brothers Zhang Long and Zhang Hu at the south gate to collect taxes from merchants.
"Ah, ah, ah."
Zhang Long and Zhang Hu opened their mouths wide, but no sound came out.
"Um?"
Li Xing frowned: "They can't speak?"
"My throat has been damaged by taking medicine. Even though I can't speak, my heart is very sharp." Ma Qianli pointed to his ears: "You can hear everything."
"But can they keep an eye on the city gate?"
"There will be no problem in this way." Ma Qianli said: "People come and go, and they rarely have to deal with money. If you are mute and can't speak, you can't ask for bribes."
"Well……"
Li Xingdao: "If they dare to play tricks, I will enforce the law like a mountain."
Li Xing thought to himself, let them contribute points to me, even the people around me can't let go.
"Ah, ah, ah."
Zhang Long and Zhang Hu immediately handed over their hands, indicating that they did not have the courage.
Ma Qianli sent the two men directly to the south gate, and then continued to recruit people.
Li Xing was a little bored by himself, but Ye'an in Baihu County was getting better and better, forming a positive cycle.
This has seriously affected Li Xing’s points income.
Li Xing had nothing to do, so he simply held the standard long knife from Yulongwei and meditated on the Twenty-Four Knives of the Spring and Autumn Period in the backyard.
Last time, the system temporarily assigned the Twenty-Four Events of Spring and Autumn Period - Jingzhe, so all that was left was the memory.
Li Xing tried to pull this pose out of his mind through memory.
Holding the knife in both hands, he walked in circles in the backyard over and over again, trying to pull out the lightning in his mind.
Gradually, Li Xing entered a state where he forgot both things and me, as if all that was left in the world was the knife in his hand.
"My lord, my lord..."
Ma Qianli's voice destroyed Li Xing's state of enlightenment. Li Xing glanced at him and stuffed a marrow-cleansing pill into his mouth.
"Sir, something bad happened. Someone broke into the city gate."
"Um?"
Li Xing frowned strangely: "It's fine, the city gate has always been fine, why did something happen just after Zhang Long and Zhang Hu took office!"
"I can't explain it in one sentence, please just follow me."
Zhang Long and Zhang Hu just took office today, and the response was generally good. Ma Qianli made a special trip with Feng Tianlei and several people to maintain order, and he was not averse to collecting taxes and visiting merchants.
After all, the taxes in Baihu County are not high, and the industry and security are good. You can save a lot of time and energy by going here.
Everyone was very excited when they saw the money being spent in vain. With money, they would get a salary, and maybe even a bonus.
At this time, a group of people came from outside the city, all dressed in black, each competing vigorously.
Zhang Long, Zhang Hu, and everyone came forward, wanting to know their identities.
Then, for some unknown reason, the leading man took action and beat the person.
He called me back again and again and said: "I don't have to spend money to go to a brothel in the capital."
