Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 269 Poor County

Thinking of this, Ren Changfeng sat down on the ground.

It’s nothing, my legs are just weak.

If this is the case, then all the officials who presided over the palace examination are suspects.

At least the examiner’s head was no longer safe.

"Come here, tie up Chen Lou for me, arrest all of Chen Lou's family members, and also arrest the governor of Yizhou. Take them back to the capital and hand them over to His Majesty for punishment."

This matter is too big for him to handle, so he should escort the person back to the capital and hand him over to His Majesty for disposal.

"Master Ren, please spare my life. I didn't want to do this. It was my wife who forced me to do it." Even though Chen Lou was escorted by the Imperial Guards and walked a distance away, he still did not give up and begged for mercy from Ren Changfeng.

Ren Changfeng bared his white teeth. What the hell, others had to study hard for ten years to pass the exam, but he just took the exam for them.

It was so easy to become an official, and Ren Changfeng couldn't help feeling a little sad, really just a little.

I remember that during the imperial examination that year, he froze in the examination room for nine days in the cold winter.

Nine days!!!

Do you know how he got through it?

After finally getting out of the examination room, he had a high fever again and almost passed out. By the time of the palace examination, he had not fully recovered.

As a result, he only got the last place in the second class in the exam. After so many years, he finally got the position of Left Censor-in-Chief.

Chen Lou is dead this time!!!

He was Ren Changfeng who said that.

What Chen Lou did was so unfair to the students who studied hard. Even if it was for the sake of appeasing the students of the world, Your Majesty must punish him severely.

The next moment, a trembling voice came: "My Lord! I just cheated a little money, it really has nothing to do with cheating in the imperial examination!"

The master who had just slayed the evil dragon was kneeling on the ground, his whole body limp. Even his fastest brain could not keep up with the speed of events. He just wanted to cheat some money, so how did he get involved in a major case of cheating in the imperial examination?

If this goes wrong, it will implicate the family in a serious crime, he doesn't want it!!

Ren Changfeng looked over and smiled slightly, revealing his white teeth: "I almost forgot about you."

The intention of venting anger on others should not be too obvious.

The master was startled, stood up, and quickly took off his monk's robes. He cried bitterly and begged for mercy from Ren Changfeng: "My lord, I really don't know anything about cheating in the imperial examination. I am just a liar. Prefect Chen is a devout monk, so I just came here to make a living."

"I am not a master. In fact, I have a wife and children. Please forgive me, sir."

"I'll spare you. Daqian has issued an order that those who pretend to be ghosts will be punished with caning for minor offenses and exile for serious offenses. I will sentence you..."

Before Ren Changfeng could announce the verdict, Xu Jinyu's inner voice came through.

[We can't let him go, because of his deception, every time the river floods, Chen Lou doesn't think about repairing the dam, but only about praying to the gods, because many people have died in this matter, a total of 1,326 people.]

[Is the point to cheat people out of money? The point is that so many people died!!!]

[Oh, how should I tell Lord Ren not to let this bastard off so easily?]

Ren Changfeng patted his butt and stood up from the ground. He pretended to be indifferent and took out a notebook from his sleeve. He said in a cold voice: "Because of your deception, a total of 1,236 people died in the flood. Other fertile fields, houses, shops, livestock... I won't talk about these. You are just a liar, so what about those who died in vain because of you?"

The monk couldn't even utter a word this time. More than a thousand people died because of him. No matter how he begged for mercy, it would be useless. A pungent smell came from under the monk's body.

Ren Changfeng waved his hand in disgust, and the guards quickly dragged the man away. The lightest fate for this monk was immediate execution.

Xu Jinyu's belated voice continued to be heard.

[Wow! I understand. They said they asked Ren Changfeng to inspect on behalf of the emperor, but in fact, Ren Changfeng was helping the emperor to deal with these officials! ]

[Look how well prepared they are. The evidence is ready. They will punish anyone who comes across them. They even have evidence of a charlatan. It is impossible that every case of petty theft in every county is recorded clearly.]

[As expected of the most suspicious emperor in the world, the officials working under him have no privacy at all. He might even know exactly where a mole grows on one's buttocks.]

[Could it be possible that there are spies from the inner guard among the maids and eunuchs in my princess's mansion? ]

Ren Changfeng: There is no doubt that the guards, maids and eunuchs in your mansion are all spies. However, these spies are not there to monitor you, but to listen to your inner thoughts and to prepare Your Majesty before you do anything earth-shattering.

So that you won't get into an unmanageable situation.

Ren Changfeng moved his mouth, trying to dispel Xu Jinyu's suspicion, but the next moment...

[But who cares? I haven't done anything bad. I'm a fair girl. You spies can do whatever you want, just don't peek when I'm in the bathroom.]

Ren Changfeng: That’s not the case.

[This emperor is so petty that he even has a record of a charlatan. Hehehehe... Why haven't I met an emperor as magnanimous as the First Emperor? If I were such a magnanimous emperor, would I be able to do whatever I want...]

Xu Jinyu began to imagine what the scene would be like if he met an emperor like the First Qin Emperor.

Ren Changfeng couldn't help but look up at the sky: Your Majesty! I'm sorry, Lord Xu's mind is so active.

Princess Wuyang's eyes were filled with tears: My dear father! I can already guess what your reputation will become after Lord Ren's trip. You are suspicious, stingy, and want to control everything yourself. It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that these people are too hateful.

Only Wei An lowered his head and laughed: Xu Jinyu's brain ability... He wanted to say, Your Majesty has suffered!

The next few days, the county government they passed by was relatively normal. The officials of the county government could not be said to be very people-loving, but at least they looked decent in appearance. In fact, they were just ordinary, and Xu Jinyu and his companions passed by safely.

Everyone arrived in Lantu County that day. Before entering the county town, Ren Changfeng introduced the situation of Lantu County to Xu Jinyu.

"Lantu County was a large county ten years ago, but it has been plagued by disasters since then, either severe drought or floods, mixed with frost and hail. There has not been a year without disasters. Taxes are not collected, and subsidies are needed from the court. Because of the disasters, all kinds of vicious cases have occurred repeatedly in the county, and a large county has been abandoned like this."

"But with the seeds that Lord Xu brought this year, I think the people of Blueprint County will no longer go hungry."

Xu Jinyu nodded when she heard this. With sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, the people in Blueprint County would never go hungry. That was why she took out these seeds early.

No matter what the people above do, as long as the people can fill their stomachs and not starve to death, there will not be so much resentment, and the task of saving the world will be much easier when it is completed.

"The county magistrate of Lantu County has a hard time. He is a good young man, but he has become bald because of all the hard work. When he returned to the capital to report on his work, His Majesty even met with Guo Xin and praised him for his hard work."

Ren Changfeng spoke of Guo Xin with all his praise.

Suddenly Xu Jinyu looked up at Ren Changfeng, then looked down again, and a voice of surprise rang out in his heart.

[Ren Changfeng praised Guo Xin so much, could it be because he accepted Guo Xin's gift? ]
