Chapter 363: The case is taken over by the Governor of Nanxun Town

Feng Buyi, Zeng Shicai, and Song Siren suddenly felt a chill creep up their backs.

The look in Li Changan's eyes suddenly changed.

This killing intent...

Why is it so scary!?

Not talking about literature, even in martial arts, their realm is much higher than Li Changan's.

But at this time, they seemed to have encountered a natural enemy.

Li Changan seems to have the power of life and death over them.

It can easily determine their life or death.

How strong is his martial arts?

What did Uncle Zhongyong do when he returned from the battlefield in Fengchuan?

In the past, I only heard fragments of words from some people.

I learned that Li Changan killed countless people on the battlefield of Fengchuan Three Thousand Miles, and almost single-handedly turned the tide of the war.

I originally thought it was a deliberate exaggeration to request a seal for him.

Now it seems that it may be true as the rumors said.

A martial artist at the peak of the seventh rank can suppress the genius of the earth-level demon race at the same level!

Li Changan looked at the file in his hand. Every time he said a word, the murderous aura in his body became stronger.

"Fifty thousand taels of disaster relief silver."

"The county governor took 150,000 taels, the county magistrate swallowed 100,000 taels, and the remaining twelve county magistrates each received 20,000 taels..."

"In the end, the silver used for disaster relief was only ten thousand taels?"

"Three million jins of disaster relief grains... each county was allocated 50,000 jins, and all the remaining rice grains were sold to Fucheng Grain Store."

One by one, one by one, they seem to be just numbers, but behind these numbers, how many lives are covered?

One pound of grain can sustain a common person for three full days.

If these disaster relief funds could really be delivered to the people, why would they end up in this situation?

No wonder so many people died in the three southern prefectures.

No wonder the people I saw along the way were all half dead.

No wonder there are dozens of grain stores in Fucheng, with so much grain that the granaries can barely contain it.

These scum!

Li Changan laughed angrily, the murderous aura in his body almost condensed into substance, and asked, "Where is Magistrate Zhang's case?"

Feng Bujie replied, "When Magistrate Zhang's body was found, the skin and flesh had already rotted."

"Only the residual poison can be found on the bones."

"We checked all the people who had contact with Magistrate Zhang before his death, and finally found a shift leader in Zewu County."

"But on the third day after County Magistrate Zhang died, the head yamen officer also died in the flood, and his body was not found..."

Li Changan's breath was stagnant, and cracks appeared on the ground under his feet.

"So this case is settled like this?"

Li Changan turned to look at Feng Buyi, "Is this what you have found out in the past few days?"

Feng Buyi lowered his head in shame, "People have been dead for too long, and many clues have long been cut off."

"Where are the family members of the squad leader?" Li Changan turned his attention to the wilderness.

"Without family, I have always lived alone."

"No relatives? No one you have any contact with?" Li Changan asked again.

Feng Buyi lowered his head and said,

"My only relative died three years ago. As for who he had contact with, we checked almost everyone in the county government."

"Including the common people, we also asked a lot. The scope is too large and there is no doubt."

Li Changan twitched his lips, but found that he couldn't express his anger.

He knew that what Feng Buyi said was true.

He has been dead for several months, and there is no evidence except a skeleton, let alone uncovering the real mastermind.

"Therefore, Magistrate Zhang was undoubtedly murdered, but the real culprit could not be found."

Feng Buyi and the other two nodded.

Li Changan looked through the thick files in his hand.

There are records about disaster relief money and grain, as well as various clues about the death of County Magistrate Zhang.

It is indeed extremely detailed.

Even the many twists and turns of the relationship have been investigated.

But in the end it came down to the front line of the squad leader.

Can't find the reason at all.

No one knows why the squad leader poisoned Magistrate Zhang.

Li Changan put away the file, "From the perspective of the distribution of disaster relief money and food, if I suspect that the governor and the county magistrate, as well as the county magistrates of the twelve counties, killed Magistrate Zhang, there should be no problem, right?"

"Actually, we also have this suspicion, so we checked it out." Feng Buyi nodded and said,

"But because of the disaster relief, all the chief officials met frequently."

"It is impossible to determine who is behind this."

Li Changan raised his feet and walked forward, "How will the court deal with the charges of swallowing up disaster relief funds and reselling disaster relief grains?"

Feng Buyi and the others quickly followed,

"The county magistrate with a smaller amount should be moved one level to the left. The county magistrate with a larger amount will either be demoted three levels in a row or have his or her house raided. Everything depends on the outcome of the trial."

Song Siren was the son of the minister of Dali Temple, and he was very aware of the case of swallowing up disaster relief funds.

"Not a single beheading? Just a painless demotion?" Li Changan looked at Song Siren.

"Yes." Song Siren nodded.

There seemed to be a purple halo flowing in Li Changan's eyes, "Because they swallowed up the disaster relief food and starved so many people to death, is it all in vain?"

Song Siren didn't speak anymore, just shook his head.

Li Changan sneered, "As expected."

The only case that can be truly convicted is the case of embezzlement of money and food for disaster relief.

Even the final punishment was just a demotion with no impact!

It falls today and rises tomorrow.

This kind of routine works every time!

Li Changan stopped and said, "In other words, if it is handed over to the court for trial, the case will end here?"

"Yes..." Song Siren just nodded and saw the council token in front of him, "Sir councilor, is this...?"

Li Changan held the council token in his hand and said, "Take my token and go get someone!"

"The county governor, the county seat, and the twelve county magistrates were all arrested and brought to justice."

"I won't bother the court with this case. The Nanxun Town and Fu Division will be fully responsible for it!"

Boom!

It's like thunder in the void.

Feng Buyi, Zeng Shicai and Song Siren were so shocked that their minds swayed and their eyes widened unconsciously.

"Senior...Sir!"

"This... this is against the laws of the imperial court, and will definitely be prosecuted by the imperial court..."

Li Changan put the token of consultation into Song Siren's hand, "The Southern Patrol Town and Fu Division has the power to act arbitrarily during the disaster relief period."

"Now, the Yunyang County embezzlement of money and food for disaster relief is under the jurisdiction of the Southern Patrol Division!"

"Go and bring the person to me, and I will hear the case in public at the Zewu County Government Office!"

Song Siren looked at the council token in his hand and asked hesitantly, "Dare you, dare I ask the councilor how you plan to hear this case?"

Li Changan turned around and walked into the field, and the sound reached the ears of the three of them,

"The governor of Yunyang County, the county magistrate, and the magistrates of twelve counties embezzled 500,000 taels of silver and 3 million jins of grain for disaster relief, causing the people to starve to death and the death toll was huge, so... we must be executed!"

boom……

The expressions of Feng Buyi and the other three people suddenly changed.

The three words "Zhan Li Jue" were like a sharp blade, filled with murderous intent, hanging in their hearts.

The murderous nature of this loyal and brave uncle is so terrifying!?

"Sen, Sir..." Zeng Shicai bravely followed Li Changan and said,

"This case is important. These fourteen chief officials are all direct descendants of the Fourth Academy and the First Supervisor. The Academy will not sit idly by and ignore it."

"And it is safest to leave such a case to Dali Temple for trial."

"If you are involved in this kind of case, you will only suffer countless criticisms."

"Criticism?" Li Changan pointed to the people building roads in the distance, "Is it the criticism of the people, or the criticism of those who can't even convict people of their lives?"

"This case must be heard by the Southern Patrol Division!"

"But... shouldn't the town governor be responsible for trying such a case?" Zeng Shicai was still trying to persuade him, "It's better to hand this case over to the town governor..."

"The governor asked me to handle all external affairs for him!" Li Changan said, "Arrest the person quickly and bring him to justice!"

"Tomorrow at noon, I will hear the case publicly at the Zewu County Government Office."



Feng Buyi and the others looked solemn and quickly left the field.

"You didn't stop him?" Song Siren looked at Zeng Shicai.

Zeng Shicai shook his head helplessly, "It's not like you didn't see it. I tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen at all."

"If you handle the disaster relief well, you will definitely be promoted to a higher position when you return. Why do you need to go through this muddy water?"

"But this loyal and brave man seems to be determined to kill his head."

Feng Buyi looked solemn, "Send the news back quickly."

"Li Chang'an is so crazy. He actually dared to raise a butcher's knife and kill fourteen chief officials of a county in one go!"

"This matter is too big. We must not let him continue the case, otherwise we will incur the wrath of the Fourth Court and the First Prison, and neither you nor I will be spared."
