Rebirth: From being expelled from the imperial court to becoming a high-ranking official

After finalizing the plan with Fu Jiao, Wei Chengji returned to the study room in the front and called over the county magistrate Yang Shi and the registrar Wu Hui.

"Yang County Magistrate, you must immediately arrange to post notices. Ask all the landowners who previously owned the riverside land to come and re-issue the land deeds so that each can claim back their own land.

In addition, ask the household office to recheck and report the river beach.”

The county magistrate was shocked: "Sir, the hole has just been filled, and now we have to hand in most of it when we report it. The account book..."

Wei Chengji said angrily, "How could I not know the hole in the account? Who caused this mess and angered the inspector? I just don't know what benefit this incident will bring to him."

As he spoke, Wei Chengji glanced at the Dianshi meaningfully.

The Dianshi was immediately shocked: "Sir, I don't know how that petition got in there! I had checked it beforehand, so I handed it in without even looking at it."

Wei Chengji originally wanted to scold Wu Hui and ask him what benefit he would get from doing such a thing, but at this point he suddenly didn't want to say more.

Anyway, Wu Dianshi can't stay here for a few more days.

"You go out first. The county magistrate and I have a few things to discuss."

The Dianshi also had his own grievances.

"My Lord, this matter will not benefit me at all! Someone must be plotting to drive a wedge between you and me!"

He doesn't want this to happen even more than Wei Chengji.

With the previous incident of mistakenly collecting river encroachment fees on the river beach as an example, the inspector was able to get his job done and there was no need to worry too much about the Jin Biao case.

As the person most likely to be pushed out as a scapegoat in the Jin Biao case, he was happier than Wei Chengji.

Seeing that the whole matter was basically settled, he finally put his mind at ease, but who knew that such a thing would suddenly happen.

Now that I have dealt with all the other matters, it would be difficult to find enough issues to complete the inspection.

In the end, we will inevitably return to the Golden Label case.

Judging from the inspector's attitude, he will certainly try his best not to affect Wei Chengji.

It is impossible to completely blame the clerks at that time for this matter.

Who else could it be? Wasn't it me who had participated in it from the beginning to the end, and wasn't just a pawn?

Wei Chengji no longer wanted to listen to his explanation, but waved his hand impatiently and said, "Go down, I still have things to deal with."

The Dianshi had no choice but to leave the study in a hurry.

The county magistrate, who had been watching silently, finally spoke up and said, "Sir, I think it's unlikely that Wu Dianshi did it.

He is a very courageous person. Not to mention that this matter has no benefit to him, even if it is beneficial to him, he dare not do it openly. "

Wei Chengji glanced at the county magistrate, who was always low-key and seemed invisible, and was somewhat surprised that he would speak for the registrar.

But then he thought again, after all, the county magistrate had been with Wu Hui for a long time, and they probably had some feelings for each other, so he couldn't help but speak up for Wu Hui.

"Forget it, let's not talk about him. Anyway, the thing has already happened, and it doesn't matter who did it. The most urgent thing now is to think about how to fill this hole.

County Magistrate Yang has been in Fuyu for many years and knows the situation better than I do. Do you have any good ideas?"

Wei Chengji had served as county magistrate for many years and had always been arbitrary. He neither liked to listen to the suggestions of his subordinates nor was willing to share power with them.

Therefore, the county magistrates under his command were often sidelined and just a decoration.

Now the registrar whom he had always trusted had caused such a trouble, and the idea of ​​embezzling money from the river proposed by his trusted advisor had also caused such a big trouble.

If he wanted to find someone to discuss countermeasures with, he could only think of the county magistrate who had little presence.

The notice to return the river beach was quickly sent out, and Zhang San and Li Si, who had been keeping an eye on the county magistrate, were now completely relieved.

"Let's go back. Let's go to Fengle Village first to tell Zhuzi's family and Mr. Qin's childhood friend."

It always takes a while for a notice to be transmitted from the county to the village. When Zhang San and Li Si brought the letter back, the people in Fengle Village didn't know about it yet.

Zhuzi's wife was a little skeptical at first, until she heard that they were working together with Zhuzi, then she believed it and thanked them profusely.

Chen Er had seen Zhang San and Li Si before when he was sending Qin Yunhe off, and he recognized them as soon as they arrived.

When Chen Er heard that the county had returned the land, he was also very excited, and the light in his eyes brightened a little: "Yes, Awen...Did Lord Qin ask for it to be returned?"

Zhang San and Li Si naturally couldn't say that, so they said, "Brother Chen has misunderstood. Lord Qin doesn't know about this."

Then he pointed in the direction of the county town and said, "Of course, the county magistrate is kind-hearted and considerate of the people's suffering."

Chen Er said quickly, "Yes, yes, the county magistrate is kind. You two have worked hard to deliver the letter. Please have some simple food and drink here at noon."

The two men declined twice, but then thought that having a meal was no big deal, so they agreed.

Yunniang cooked some home-cooked dishes and bought some wine. Chen Er accompanied the two of them as they ate and chatted.

After just a few words, Zhang San and Li Si realized that Chen Er was an honest and decent man, and they couldn't help but give him a few more words of advice.

"… Anyway, the land has been returned, so there is no need to rush to get the land deed. Just don't delay the spring planting...

We came directly from the county. It will probably take some time for this matter to spread to the village, so don’t mention it to the villagers yet..."

Chen Er wrote down everything he heard and waited for the captain to tell him about it in a few days before leaving.

Soon, the county issued another announcement.

Dianshi Wu Hui neglected his duties and deceived his superiors, which almost led to a wrongful conviction. He was also suspected of helping Jin Biao cover up the crime, so the inspector sentenced him to be dismissed from his post as Dianshi, put him in shackles for 15 days, and beaten with the cane 30 times.

County Magistrate Wei Chengji was biased in his listening to one side of the story and made a sloppy judgment in the case of Yan Jinshi. He was fined one year's salary and kept under observation for further action.

Xu Ningfu

Recently, news about the suppression of bandits has been coming back one after another.

Captain Xu Xing was ordered to lead his troops to Qushan.

In order to prevent the bandits from getting wind of the news and escaping in advance, Xu Xing divided his soldiers into small groups and sent them to ambush near the place where the bandits appeared in Qushan.

After waiting for a few days, when another passerby was robbed, Xu Xing led the crowd out to prepare for the capture.

However, the bandits were very alert and turned around and fled back into the mountains when they saw that the situation was not good.

Xu Xing led his men in pursuit, but the terrain of Qushan Mountain was complex and the bandits disappeared once they entered the deep mountains.

The soldiers of the Hundred Households Unit searched the mountains for many days but could not find any trace of the bandits. They only found the bandits' stronghold, but it was deserted.

Xu Xing knew that the bandits would probably not show up in the short term, so he sent his men to ask the prefect whether he should continue the ambush.

The prefect also knew that it was not a good idea to continue wasting time like this, so he ordered Xu Xing to lead the troops back to the base temporarily.

Qin Yunhe was quite disappointed when he found out about this. It seemed that this matter was indeed difficult to resolve in a short time.

On this day, Qin Yunhe was handling official business in the study when Li Chang came in with a letter, looking very excited.

"Sir, it's done. We're getting our river beach back."
