Li Xu took the reorganized list of house searches by Ma Shuli and the confessions of Tian Hu and others to find Liu Jian.

Liu Jian looked in a good mood. When he saw Li Xu, he waved to him in and smiled and said, "You have become famous today, and everyone in the city knows it."

Li Xu sat on the roving chair next to him with a big horse with a golden sword and said, "Since I have made great contributions, is Uncle Liu going to repay me? Let the court grant me a title like a champion marquis or something?"

Liu Jian said angrily: "Champion Marquis? You really dare to say that you shoot a small leader of the thief army and dare to be the champion Marquis? You are not afraid that the champion Marquis will come to you from below and say something."

Li Xu laughed and said, "Actually, I don't want to be a champion. I still want to live a hundred years old. By the way, Uncle Liu, you look good, you are happy to say anything good."

Liu Jian smiled and handed over a list of money and grain donations by the gentry and people in the county.

There are twenty or thirty people listed on the list. The money donated by these people is thousands of taels, and the fewest is one or two hundred taels.

The food is more than one hundred stones, and the food is less than ten stones.

Some people donate money only, some people donate only food, and some people donate money and food.

In addition to money and grain, there are also materials such as cloth, linen, shoes, straw ropes, etc., which are all kinds of.

There was even a butcher named Chai at the end donating 200 kilograms of pork to reward the army.

Total, the silver was nearly 4,982 taels, more than 340 stones of food, and the amount of other materials was quite considerable.

After reading it, Li Xu sighed: "Everyone is a dog-slaughtering person. Only with his parents and officials who love the people as much as their children can he be grateful and repay the people."

Liu Jian laughed and scolded, "You don't have to put gold on my face. These people come to the yamen to thank you, the county magistrate. If you are not in the yamen, I can only accept these feelings for you."

Come and thank yourself? Li Xu was really moved after hearing this.

Although there are these hypocritical scumbags led by the King of Kings, there are many people who are as simple and lovely as on this list.

He could have used the advantages of the system to occupy the mountain as king, robbed everywhere, and quickly expanded his strength to become a hero who dominated the country, but he was not willing to do that from the bottom of his heart.

Among them is the reason why he did not want others to talk about him in the future as a robber. The deeper reason is that he did not want the innocent people on this land to suffer unnecessary disasters and endure unnecessary suffering.

In his heart, the people on this land are his future people. Whether he wants to take charge of a country or rule the world, there is no reason to harm his own people.

So since he has the opportunity to follow the right path and achieve his goal, there is no reason to choose another path full of blood and tears of ordinary people.

When he came to be the small and indifferent official of Sanshui County, he was not only the reason why he had to use the power and resources of the government to provide convenience for himself, the most fundamental reason was that he wanted to personally protect this land and the people on this land, so as not to let them be harmed by the thief army.

Although fighting for the world is a competition among ambitious people, the ordinary people are the ones who suffer in the end.

Although Li Xu knew that this was inevitable, he was still willing to make such suffering less.

These thoughts were not clear before, and he had thought about them deeply, but he saw this list and heard Liu Jian's words, he could see his true thoughts clearly.

If a king treats his ministers as his hands and feet, then his ministers regard him as his confidant; if a king treats his ministers as dogs and horses, then his ministers regard him as his countrymen; if a king treats his ministers as earth, then his ministers regard him as enemies.

He protected the people, and no matter what his original intention was, he received the gratitude from the people, which was a kind of reward for the superiors.

Li Xu felt that such a people deserve his protection.

Liu Jian saw Li Xu's emotional changes and smiled and said, "They will see what you do for the people. Officials benefit the people and ensure the safety of the people is a matter of duty, but because of this, the people are grateful to them. It is really shameful to say."

Li Xu nodded in agreement and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Liu, I will definitely not let down the love of the simple elders. Come, Uncle Liu see this."

He first handed the confession of Tian Hu and others to Liu Jian.

After reading it one by one, Liu Jian browsed, his face turned pale, and he suddenly slapped the table and said angrily: "Wang Chengyin, a scumbag, has been slap in the court's salary for decades, but he is so crazy. If he fails once, he wants to do it again. He should be cut into pieces and be a slave to his descendants for severe punishment."

Although he was prepared in his heart, the words Wang Chengyin said on these confessions still made Liu Jian, a county magistrate with a very good temper, want to cut him off on the spot.

After cursing for a few words, Liu Jian's mood quickly calmed down and looked at Li Xu and said, "At your speed, has the Wang family been sealed?"

Li Xu smiled and said, "Uncle Liu is very careful and is about to report to you. This is a list, you can take a look. If you think it is not enough, I will torture the old turtle in prison to see if he has any hidden property."

However, Wang Zhuzhu is still in a coma, and Li Xu just said that.

As he said that, he handed Liu Jian the list of house searches that Ma Shuli had revised.

After taking it, Liu Jian said in surprise: "The Wang family's wealth is so rich?"

However, when I remembered the little money and food that the king used to fool him for perfunctory, I couldn't help but feel angry again and cursed: "This guy colluded with a thief and paid such a large price, but he was unwilling to pay more money and food to support the yamen. He is really a thief who deserves to be killed!"

Li Xu naturally wouldn't say that the number on this list is only 30% of the real number. He was worried that Liu Jian would ask, but he didn't expect that Liu Jian would think there were already a lot.

This is also Liu Jian underestimated the ability of these local rich men to make money, so he did not notice the trick.

He said to Li Xu: "You leave half of these confiscated property and put it in the county warehouse, and you can move the remaining half to the town Yong camp. After today's battle, there will definitely be more people who will apply for the recruitment, and these money and grains will come in handy."

Li Xu didn't expect that there would be such a good thing, so he naturally agreed. He talked casually about sending people to search the house outside the city. Liu Jian said directly: "After I copied it back, I will still be the same rule. I will leave half of the remaining half for you to recruit the township heroes. Now the township heroes camp is not enough weapons, armor and horses, and these property can be used to build and buy these materials."

Li Xu nodded, but said, "Uncle Liu, although we won a game today, the main force of the thief army may come to take revenge soon. If the people who confiscated the house encounter the main force of the thief army halfway, it will be in trouble."

Liu Jian frowned when he heard this, thought for a while and instructed: "What you are considering is reasonable. These farms are all in the west, which is the direction of the thief army. Go back and send someone to inform me that if you encounter a thief army, let the troops in the village camp not take into account the property and quickly withdraw to the city. As long as you protect yourself, you will take it back in the future."

Li Xu was secretly happy. This was the secret lock he buried in advance. If the team that was really raided from the house was robbed, he would have a reason.

Immediately gave me a flattery: "Uncle Liu is open-minded. As the saying goes, "As long as you have lost people, all the characters will exist; if you have lost people, all the characters will be lost. Uncle Liu's realm is so high that his little nephew is not as good as you."
