Under the strong pressure of Li Hao, Lin Dayong finally chose to follow his heart and did it steadily, explaining the dirty things that Qishan County Magistrate and his two brother-in-law had done clearly.

Looking at the white and black cues in front of him, Li Hao stretched out his finger and bounced it: "Good, it's written very clearly."

"Yes." Lin Dayong stood aside with a bow and stuttered like a small supper: "Criminal, can the lord leave?"

Li Hao's face sank: "Let's go? Where are you calling?"

Lin Dayong said with difficulty: "Didn't the prince say that as long as I write down all the dirty things they did, I can go back?"

"Haha..." Li Hao stared at Lin Dayong with a smile for a while: "What do you mean that you have been very clean for so many years? Have you never eaten empty salary or drunk soldier blood?"

"I, I..." Li Hao's question made it difficult for Lin Dayong to answer.

In fact, lower-level officers like him have 100% habit of getting empty wages, but sometimes there are more and sometimes there are fewer. If no one investigates it, then there will naturally be nothing. But now that Li Hao wants to intervene, the person being investigated will definitely not be able to escape.

Don’t say whether Li Hao has this power. I am the Minister of War. I don’t know how many people are flattering him. If you don’t even have to say a word, someone will do it for him.

Thinking of this, Lin Dayong seemed to accept his fate: "Criminal, just give me orders if you have any questions, and the villain will do his best."

"How come this sounds like I'm threatening you?"

"No, the villain doesn't mean this." Nervously, Lin Dayong didn't even dare to call himself the officials. He called himself the villain one by one, looking very embarrassed, and there was no way he could have the majesty he usually had in front of the people.

Li Hao nodded, feeling that he was almost invincible, and he coughed and cleared his throat: "You don't have to feel wronged by Lin. I, Li Dejian, are also a famous person in Chang'an City after all. You, a small captain, are not even considered an ant in my eyes."

"Yes, yes, yes, the prince respects villains, so he jokes with them." Lin Dayong flattered with a sweet dog-like smile.

"Whatever you think." Li Hao waved his hand indifferently: "Now you have a task. You have five days to take your people in these five days to dig out ten wells for me in four directions outside the city, east, west, south, and north. If you can complete it, you will not be punished for the past and cannot be completed..."

Li Hao did not continue to say the following words, but the fool could hear the meaning of the words.

Lin Dayong knew that this was his last chance, so he could not care whether he could complete the task. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, the prince, the villain must do his best. If he cannot complete the task, he would like to come and see him."

Li Hao waved his hand unhappily and asked him to go out to work quickly and not continue to be annoying here.

After Lin Dayong left, Xi Junmai then leaned in from outside and tried to ask: "General, are we not leaving?"

"What are you going? The Qishan County Magistrate was beaten to death by Tiezhu for a moment of excitement. If we just leave like this, how can we do such a mess? Will the people of Qishan still survive?"

What does it have to do with me? You obviously asked me to kill him.

"Young Master, you obviously asked me to do it."

Li Hao glared at his eyes and said, "I said, Zhuzi, when is it now? Why are you still caring about the details? Then, you will take more than 20 people to Qishan County Magistrate to gather all the yamen runners to guard the useful wells, and then arrange for the people in the city to get water by the well."

Tiezhu opened his mouth, but found in vain that he could not say anything about his unscrupulous young master, so he could only go out in depressedly and ask some people to run to the city to maintain order.

After sending Tiezhu away, Li Hao sat in the room that originally belonged to Lin Dayong in a daze.

After several days of traveling, he was already exhausted at this time. But when he thought of the lost people outside, he couldn't sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to be able to see countless corpses lying on the side of the road.

The rich family smells of wine and meat, and there are bones that are frozen to death on the road.

Most of the officials in the Tang Dynasty were good, diligent and hardworking.

But there are always a small number of scumbags who, after they became officials through certain channels, did not want to make decisions for the people at all, but only cared about their own enjoyment. It is precisely because of this that the magistrate of the Qing Dynasty for three years and 100,000 snowflakes and silver.

After all, Li Hao did not regret his behavior at the county magistrate. He just killed a county magistrate. With his identity and status, he could withstand it. At worst, he would go to Li Er to make trouble. Anyway, there was an old man in front of him, so he would never chop off his head.

Thinking of this, Li Hao focused on the confession written by Lin Dayong, and his brows frowned slightly.

Ding Keshuang, the magistrate of Qishan County, was from Xingyang...

Why are there aristocratic families involved everywhere? A small Qishan County actually created half of the Zheng family. I don’t know if it was a folk remedy or a main house. If it was a main house, it would be a bit late.

But thinking about it, in this Tang Dynasty, where the imperial examination was just implemented and even the famous system was not implemented, the selection of grassroots officials could not avoid the mountain of aristocratic families.

After all, there are too few poor families who can pass the Jinshi. To put it bluntly, more officials actually come from recommendations from aristocratic families or nobles.

Alas, I just hope that those aristocratic families can get some face and not cause trouble for such a greedy guy.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Hao said to Xi Junmai, who was squatting outside on the ground counting ants, "Junmai, arrange a few people to copy a few confessions and post them onto the signboard at the entrance of the yamen."

"Oh." Xi Junmai agreed, came in and took the confession and walked out, stood at the door and shouted: "Is there anyone who can write?"

‘Hula…’, except for the twenty people who were watching outside and leaving with Tiezhu, the remaining forty and fifty people stood up together: “I will!”

Xi Junbu: "..."

I am a dignified captain and only know how to write his own name. You big-headed soldiers are making trouble, right?

Xi Junmai cursed angrily: "Everyone is out of here. What I want is someone who knows how to write, but only someone who knows his own name doesn't count."

"We can write." Someone in the crowd said in a dull sense of life and death.

Xi Jun was unhappy at that time. He was playing around, but why didn’t he watch it? He didn’t see the general inside, his nose was not a nose, his face, his face, he was not a face.

"You all know how to write? Do you know what the charge is to deceive Shangguan?"

Among the guards, some of them were familiar with Xi Junbu and said with grievance: "We could write, but when we were in Ling Mansion, we didn't know how many laps we were punished to run because we learned to write."

It hurts my heart.

Xi Junmai wanted to cry without tears.

With these guys who came back from the sea, they were all very literate, but they were just illiterate.

The more I thought about it, the more I felt more and more disturbed. Xi Junmai simply stuffed the confession I held in his hand into the hands of the guards: "Take it, copy one for each person. The general said that before dark today, the whole city must be posted, so that all the people in Qishan County can see it."

I have to say that when Li Hao was in Ling Mansion, he was not in vain to let those big-headed soldiers learn to write. Although they were a little awkward as soon as they picked up the pen, they got into a state as they wrote. The pen was not long and the snake was written.

One, two, looking at the guards who originally belonged to Lingfu, who are now under the title of the Landing Brigade, and came forward to copy them one by one, Xi Junmai felt particularly wronged.

Very angry!

He was even unable to match a group of big-headed soldiers. How could I survive in the future?

...

Five days passed in a flash. When the sun rose on the sixth day, Lin Dayong dragged his tired body and returned to the garrison with two hundred indestructible soldiers.

In five days, forty deep wells, Lin Dayong almost lost half his life even if he was in good health.

However, Lin Dayong was still very happy to see the people outside the city who were thirsty and dying, who could thirst for water.

"All done?" Just as Lin Dayong arranged for his subordinates to rest, Li Hao appeared behind him and asked lightly.

"It's over." Seeing Li Hao again, Lin Dayong's joy just now was gone, and only the fear in his eyes was left, for fear that he would make another monster.

Li Hao did not notice Lin Dayong's performance. He had actually walked around the city these days and had some grasp of the progress of digging the well, knowing that he had not lie to him.

"Okay, since you have completed the task within the specified time, we will expose the past things and continue to be your chief lieutenant from today. However, don't get involved in this kind of personal gain in the future, otherwise you will be careful not to lose your life that day."

In the past, Lin Dayong would definitely not take Li Hao's words to heart. After all, he was just a passing immortal, so he could just send him away respectfully.

But now, Li Hao showed his cruel side, killing a Qishan County Magistrate as soon as he said he could kill him, and even kill him, and he still wanted to make his crimes over the years public. Whenever he thought about this, Lin Dayong felt his trembling.

...

Everything that happened in Qishan County has naturally been introduced to Chang'an.

When he learned that the Qishan County Magistrate was directly ordered to be executed by Li Hao, the Zheng family, who had a long time ago, was furious. The new and old hatreds combined together made many younger generations clamor to fight against the first disaster in Chang'an, in order not to steam buns and fight for the breath.

"I've turned against him, I've actually dared to touch our Zheng family. Li Dejian is so brave."

"Honor, please give me a bullet stamp. Impeach Li Dejian's eyes are unpredictable and he is involved in the local area."

"Li Dejian is a person. I really think that if you are favored by Your Majesty, you can do whatever you want. You are simply underestimating the heroes of the world."

The head of the Zheng family heard the comments between the juniors and snorted angrily: "It's enough, just shut up."

"Head of the family, is my elder brother dead in vain? After all, he is also a member of the Zheng family. If he is harmed like this, how will the other families view my Zheng family?"

The person who spoke was Zheng Keshuang's younger brother. He was about twenty years old and had a rebellious temperament. He didn't look like a good person.

The head of the Zheng family rubbed his temples with a headache: "Then what do you want? Don't forget that Zheng Keshuang was corrupt and abused the law, and exploited the people first. Under his rule, the people of Qishan had even reached the point where they had to spend money to buy even if they had to drink water."

"Murder and repay your life, and pay your debts." The young man raised his head and said hatefully: "Who knows whether those things are true? Maybe it's just rumors that were fabricated afterwards. Anyway, my elder brother is dead, and there is no evidence of death. It's not Li Dejian's disaster that he can say whatever he wants."

"You are right. Even if Keshuang is wrong, Li Dejian shouldn't have done such a ruthless move. Since he has stepped on the face of my Zheng family, what can I do if my Zheng family fights him?"

The shouts made the head of the Zheng family one with two big heads.

From a rational point of view, he did not think that Li Hao's move was deliberately targeting the Zheng family. After all, the two families did not have any deep hatred. If the family's children had not really provoked him, he would not have taken such a ruthless move.

But the head of the Zheng family couldn't say such words. Even if he knew that the mistake was not on Li Hao, in order to unite the entire family and increase the cohesion of the big family, he would write a letter to impeach him.

As he thought about it, the head of the Zheng family became a little distracted and his thoughts were floating wherever he drifted.

Only the young generation is still clamoring for revenge.

The Zheng family, a large family for hundreds of years, looked like the people in their eyes like livestock raised at home, sucking blood, eating meat, and exploiting them, as for them to stand out...

The ancients said that good things are good, if you are poor, you will be able to keep your body alone, and if you are prosperous, you will be able to help the world.

The Zheng family is very "poor", so naturally they can only protect themselves.

...

On the other side, Li Er had two different memorials on his desk.

One is from the Weizhou Governor, and the other is from the Qizhou Governor.

The Weizhou Assassin praised Li Hao very much, saying that it was up to the prince to escape the predicament of water shortage from Weizhou. Otherwise, the people of Weizhou would have no choice but to have a life of their own.

The memorial of the Qizhou Assassin was completely opposite, saying that Li Hao was arbitrary and arrogant because of his favor, and casually interfered in local government affairs, and used cruel means to persecute the Qizhou County Magistrate to his death.

Li Erleng looked back and forth on the two memorials, and finally fell on the Qizhou envoy's envoy, gritted his teeth and said, "Come on, let me tell you that the leader of the Zheng clan came to the palace to see you."

"No." The eunuch Lin Xi agreed habitually, and then reacted: "Your Majesty, don't you look for Duke Wei?"

"No need." Li Er waved his hand and snorted coldly: "You can just go and pass the message. What are you doing if you ask so much."

Well, I'm flattering and slapping my legs.

Lin Xi didn't dare to say more nonsense, so he ran to find someone.

In the huge imperial study room, Li Er stood up with his hands behind his back, looked at the sky full of clouds outside, and murmured: "Does the tiger think I am a sick cat? I really want to see what kind of ability does the Zheng family have? How dare I take the blame for the world and abandon the people. Do you really think that I will tolerate you for the rest of your life?!"
