Datang: My father is the head bodyguard

After such a not-so-pleasant feast, these officials began to return to the main hall to accept their upcoming report.

Yuchi Baoqi read out a long list of names, ranging from the provincial governor of a state to the county magistrate. All the officials whose names were read out looked like they had thorns on their backs and were trembling with fear.

"The names mentioned above had no merit or demerit in last year's administration..."

Hearing the words "no merit, no fault" uttered from Yuchi Baoqi's mouth, many officials felt relieved and slumped to the ground, feeling lucky that they had escaped.

But Yuchi Baoqi's ensuing questions made these officials start to worry.

"No merit, no fault. Is it okay if someone else does it? Does it have to be you?"

"Besides, in the area under his jurisdiction, there is no development, and he prevaricates and ignores the demands of the people. In one year, the county government only accepted seven cases, four of which were related to his own family, and there were also life cases! "

"You think so, Tian Juzhang?"

The official whose name was called obeyed and walked quickly from outside the palace to the palace. He almost made a fool of himself and said, "Xiaguan... Xianguantian raises the seal. It's unjust!"

Li Shimin snorted coldly: "What are your grievances? You only accept seven cases a year, and they are all closely related to your own family. Isn't this just using power for personal gain?"

Tian Juzhang took out a roll of red and white cloth from his arms and raised it above his head with trembling hands: "Xiaguan can't manage the affairs of a county. Under the governance of Xiaguan, Pingyang County does not close the doors at night and does not pick up leftovers. There simply are not that many cases to deal with." accepted."

"As for the seven cases accepted, three of them were fugitives who fled to our county to hide. They were discovered by the people in the county and sent to the county government."

Li Shimin narrowed his eyes slightly: "Avoiding the important and choosing the light, what about the four cases related to you?"

Tian Juzhang hesitated for a long time: "There are several widows in the county. There are no boys in the family. The county government found a few weavers to work as helpers. However, some rogue rumors spread that the widows were having an affair with people in the county government."

Tian Juzhang choked up as he spoke: "Two of the widows hanged themselves in front of the county government office that night to prove their innocence. The remaining few also resigned from their jobs as weavers... They wanted to leave the county and go outside... Go to Yangzhou and sell yourself into a brothel!"

"Pingyang County is so big, can't it accommodate a few women?!"

Tian Juzhang held up the scroll in his hand and said: "Our Pingyang County is the most populous county in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. The people of Xiaguan County sued Yao Silian, the governor and author of Yuhang, for not wanting to make progress and sitting in the pavilion writing history books every day. "

"Pingyang County's industrial upgrading plan has been rejected many times, Your Majesty! Pingyang County has been a major printing county since ancient times. Vigorously developing the printing and textile industries will allow the people of Pingyang County to live a good life, and allow the people of Tang Dynasty to use Books and silk are more affordable, but Yao Silian...he stalled many times."

Wang De took the cloth roll in Tian Juzhang's hand and unfolded it. It was densely covered with names and bloody fingerprints. Yuchi Baoqi took it and looked at it, then looked at Li Shimin.

"Your Majesty, I think it would be better for Yao Silian, who is a scholar, not to be placed in a local post. It would be better to find a capable official to replace him and let him return to Chang'an to study in peace."

"Tian Juzhang, my father-in-law has wronged you. When you return to Pingyang County, you can take fifteen reserve officials from the Royal Academy with you to help you vigorously develop various industries in Pingyang County."

Li Shimin looked at the Wanmin book placed on the imperial case: "I will reward you with a treasure of 50,000 taels. I will transfer Yao Silian back to Chang'an. The governor of Yuhang will find someone else. Where is Yao Silian?"

Wang De handed over a memorial: "Your Majesty, Yao Silian is ill and has submitted a memorial. The contents of this report are all in the memorial."

Li Shimin opened the memorial and took a look at it. They were all nonsense anecdotes about historical revision, and he threw it back to Wang De.

Yuchi Baoqi read out the names of many more officials, and after completing the work report, an inspection period was added. The inspection content included the people's livelihood, economy, infrastructure, living standards, and residents' happiness in the areas under his jurisdiction.

From now on, there are only a few officials from other provinces left in the Taiji Hall, and the rest are officials from the capital of Chang'an. Yuchi Baoqi's expression is also half-smiling.

"Jiangxi Observer Li Sen, the Shangrao Coal Mine on Jiangnan West Road collapsed, burying 347 miners. Why didn't the imperial court hear any news?"

Li Sen looked at Li Qianyi, the governor of Chizhou, who was standing next to him, with a very surprised expression. His subconscious reaction was clearly visible to Yuchi Baoqi and Li Shimin.

Li Shimin waved his hand, and Zhang Ananda walked up to Li Sen with a large number of Baiqisi's secret documents: "Li Sen, please take a look."

Li Sen tremblingly took the file from Chamberlain Zhang's hand. There were a lot of blood spatters on the file, as well as a lot of bloody palm prints. This also showed how difficult it was for these files to get to Li Shimin's court.

[In the summer of the eighth year of Zhenguan, large-scale chain collapses occurred in Shangrao’s No. 7 and No. 8 coal mines, Shangrao County was closed, and Zaoban went to various villages outside the city. 】

[Seven hundred horsemen sneaked into the county magistrate's office. Everywhere they looked was silver, countless treasures and banknotes were piled up, and the red coral and jade trees in the courtyard were more than ten feet tall. 】

[Entering the secret room of the rockery revealed that the number of miners buried and missing in the collapse was 347, half of whom were under the age of fifteen. 】

Li Sen's eyes were filled with shock. Under his eyes, as an observer of Jiangnan West Road, the coal mine collapsed and buried more than 300 people. This happened at least half a year ago, but he didn't know anything about it.

Li Shimin winked at Zhang Anan, and seven hundred knights came out. The armors, pockets and armaments of these hundred knights were all stained with dark red blood.

The armors on some of the hundreds of knights still showed signs of being chopped and broken.

"After ascertaining the list of missing and buried miners, my group of hundreds of cavalry began to evacuate in an orderly manner. We happened to encounter the county magistrate entering the county government office with a group of people wearing dark blue robes. There were about four hundred people in total."

"Out of Baiqi's responsibilities, the Shangrao County Magistrate led so many unknown and unidentified people into the county government office. Our Baiqi team hid in the dark and observed."

"We have restored all the objects after evacuating the rockery secret room, and copied the list and files, but the county magistrate somehow knew that someone had entered the secret room."

"The backyard of the county government is not big. Our group Baiqi took the initiative to show up on the edge of being discovered and informed Baiqi's identity."

"Unexpectedly, those people in dark green robes not only refused to surrender, but also dared to fight back at us. My group of hundreds of cavalry immediately organized a counterattack, reloaded and fired in an orderly manner and evacuated towards the gate of the county government office."

"Many of those enemies threw torches at us to interfere with our sight, and then went around and killed our group of hundreds of cavalry from the dark. Some even used crossbows to shoot at us. Fortunately, it was getting late, so we killed the general from the county government office. Come out and meet up with the Baiqi who are responsible for the retreat."
