Chapter 4053: The future is dark

Liu Ye thought for a while. Although he was a bit eager, three days were basically enough. Wei Jun itself was a breakthrough. Li Fu's situation was very clear and his future was very broad. It was impossible at this time to turn to the bureaucrats who were in tandem with each other.

"After I'm sure, I will tell you about it." Liu Ye nodded and said.

Liu Ye did not dare to delay, and quickly brought his guards to investigate. Soon a large amount of factual intelligence was collected, and Liu Ye's scalp was numb.

As a grain-producing area in the north, under the adjustment of Chen Xi’s talent, the weather is absolutely smooth. However, according to the people of Wei County this year, Wei County is no longer reduced in production, and should be regarded as a dead end, but it is obvious that Li Fu has rejected this. Things are suppressed.

At least Changan didn’t know about this. Although the people of Wei County were also complaining about it, Wei County opened a warehouse to release grain and compensated the people who had no harvest according to the amount of grain produced last year, and according to Liu Ye’s previous memory. For the content, Wei Jun paid the summer grain tax.

No, that's not right. Liu Ye suddenly remembered one thing. Their tax was only paid in name, and they are still holding on in Wei County. They only reported the tax paid, and then waited for the end of the year for verification.

Thinking of this, Liu Ye had a numb scalp. He didn't even dare to think whether Wei Jun's official warehouse really had grain and grass. After putting grain and empty payment, Wei Jun's grain warehouse should be empty.

After that, Liu Ye quickly started the investigation based on this well-known clue, and visited a lot of people. The people basically had no concealment about this matter. To be precise, this matter could not be concealed at all, and the personnel involved were too wide.

There is no doubt that the summer grain in the seventh year of Yuanfeng, the people of Wei County who planted new seeds basically had no harvest. Li Fu immediately put the grain to suppress this incident, and all the bandit incidents did not really start half a year ago. .

To be precise, it only appeared after Xia Mai grew up. In this case, Liu Ye's eyes were already gloomy, but he still had a lot of uncertainty.

However, when Liu Ye investigated to the evening of the next day, a team of people surrounded Liu Ye and the investigation team.

The leading county lieutenant, if it was Liu Bei, would definitely know him here, but unfortunately, Liu Ye didn’t know him. The county lieutenant blocked the entire street before and after, and surrounded Liu Ye in the middle. At this moment, Liu Ye's face looked Tie Qing, even several possibilities emerged in his mind.

"As reported by the local people, you may be the accomplices of the thief and the bandits last time. Come with us." Wei Jun's county lieutenant Wang Chen looked at Liu Ye with a gloomy expression, and the fifty-year-old Wang Chen looked at him. The suffocation made Liu Ye understand that none of the guards he brought might be able to beat the county lieutenant.

"Investigators sent under Chang'an." Liu Ye saw the surrounding county soldiers close together, and decisively took out the seal he had prepared before coming.

The county lieutenant Wang Chen saw this scene, his pupils shrank slightly, and then his face became heavier.

Liu Ye was confused and his heart sank, but there was no direct confrontation. Instead, he was arrested. After all, at this point in this matter, Liu Ye had already seen more bad things from the look on the opposite side. The problem now lies in , What happened to the last wave of personnel sent to Chang'an.

Or more directly, are there really investigators sent to the last wave?

Wang Chen took Liu Ye and a group of people directly to the government office. Li Fu of the government office was a little familiar when he saw Liu Ye. When Ye, there was a vague impression.

"The county guard, we have caught another group of people who may be the remnants of the thieves and bandits." Wang Chen said with a fist. "The people he led are quite powerful. If it weren't for the other party's direct resistance, the county soldiers would have suffered more than a dozen casualties. name."

"?" Li Fu was stunned when he heard the words, and then looked at Liu Ye, the more he looked more and more familiar, while Liu Ye was moving his wrist at this time, looking flatly at Liu Ye, and then there was a bright light in his mind, and he hurried up. Untied the rope for Liu Ye.

"Quickly, quickly, quickly untie it. This time it is the investigator sent from Chang'an." Li Fu was almost crying, and he couldn't untie the rope. He quickly greeted Wang Chen, Wang Chen with a simple expression. The hemp rope was cut with two strokes of the knife.

"Doctor Liu, I'm sorry, we are really a little nervous lately, and treat you as a gangster's remnant. This time the matter is too big. I have sent a report to Chang'an before, but I haven't dealt with it before. Okay. , The Chang'an investigation team came and took us to a deeper pit." Li Fu almost cried out to explain, what this is all about.

I finally filled in the pit that I didn’t know who dug myself before, and solved the Chang'an investigation team that brought me to the pit for the second time. But it was to get Wei Jun back on track, in order to avoid such things from happening again. , Even asked the county lieutenant to lead the team to strengthen the management of Weijun, and as a result, the Taizhong doctor Liu Ye was arrested.

At this moment, Li Fu really feels that his future is dark, so why struggle?

"What the **** is going on, is there still an investigation team before I come?" Liu Ye ignores other things at this time and points directly to the core of the problem, "Also, what is going on in the summer grain this year, how can there be? So many people will never accept it."

Although Li Fu said that his mentality had collapsed, he responded quickly to Liu Ye’s question, "There is an investigation team, at least as far as I found out, it is indeed sent under Chang'an, and the problem lies in it. Here, these people are not here to deal with problems, but to come to bad things."

"Where are they?" Liu Ye said with a gloomy expression, daring to do this kind of thing, to what extent Liu Ye just thought about it and felt desperate.

"..." Li Fu was silent, some things could not be said.

"Did you kill them?" Liu Ye looked at Li Fu in silence for a while, and he was sure that the dispatched personnel were indeed from Chang'an. You still dare to do it, right?

"I..." Li Fu opened his mouth and didn't say anything in the end. Yes, those bad guys were killed by him, and even thieves and bandits were killed. Those who had digged the pit before were bought by other counties and will dig the pit. Long history and master book recommended by people.

Liu Ye looked at Li Fu, he really didn't know whether Li Fu was worthy of trust at this moment.

"How is the reserve warehouse in the county?" Liu Ye asked as he looked at Li Fu.

"All of them have been converted into money bills, which have been officially pledged at the Wei County bank and paid through Yanzhou channels to pay the grain tax. As for food, we use the government’s reputation to pay for the goods first. The money is in the Wei County bank, and Yanzhou has determined that the money exists. The grain should be on the way." Li Fu said after a moment of silence, Liu Ye felt relieved a lot.

As long as he still thinks about his official career, the problem is not big. What's more, in the case of partial harvest of summer grain, quickly opening a reserve warehouse to avoid the people's riots. In fact, it also shows that Li Fu wants to continue to be an official. In this case, Li Fu Even if there is a problem, at least it is trustworthy to a certain extent.

"Is the payment going to be postponed?" Liu Ye asked, looking at Li Fu.

Obviously, the money pledged by the authorities by the Wei County Bank is actually Wei County’s grain tax, but Wei County Yanzhou Governor Yi Ji said yes. The loss on the way to my side is a bit large. I will convert it into cash. You can help I'll pay for it.

This matter is not against the regulations, it belongs to the kind of hello and me. Yanzhou, as the Central Plains agricultural and grain base, takes a lot of this matter, and it can be regarded as a pleasure to others.

More importantly, this way of paying taxes is conducive to the calculation of national taxation. Therefore, other states and counties give Yanzhou money and let Yanzhou pay for it. There has never been a problem. This is only good from top to bottom, so Li Fu stuffed the money to Wei County Bank and asked Wei County Bank to send a message to Yanzhou Bank, saying that he was paying taxes on his behalf.

Yanzhou is just going through a process, it is impossible to compare and verify it up and down. It will only be verified together at the end of the year. As for this wave of arrival, it is impossible to pretend to be dead when the tax is checked. Does the official hat need it? Can't let Yanzhou cover this shortfall, it's unrealistic.

However, Yanzhou is not unreasonable. We calculate at the end of the year, so you didn't pay the summer grain tax payment. It is enough to pay at the end of the year. If we don't stop us, we will do the calculation.

As a result, Wei Jun has at least half a year's buffer time. After that, there is no doubt that he will misappropriate the funds, buy grain and grass elsewhere, and fill the storage warehouse again. There is no need for extra words. Take your time, do not pay attention to the speed of logistics, and consign and consolidate the order. You can come before the end of the year, but you will send me the voucher first.

In other words, if Liu Ye arrives a few days late, Li Fu can actually pat his chest and say that Weijun’s storage warehouses are full because there is evidence to prove that these warehouses have been used, but they will be filled again after a while. Full, now empty, just because of the process.

Even if Chen Xi hadn’t slashed down and put the rice into the feed, Li Fu could use other settlement methods to get the rice first, fill the treasury, and then rely on turnover to carry this period of time, but Chen Xi Stuck this way.

Li Fu sighed. Now he really feels that his future is dark. He has finally found a route that can avoid all problems and smooth everything out by time. As a result, he met Liu Ye just after the implementation, and then basically everything. Exposed.

Just thinking of this, Li Fu felt that his official career was basically over. What was even more frustrating was that he was working and wanted to do better and wanted to be promoted. Then he was buried in his ancestral grave when he returned to his hometown at the age of 60 or 70. At that time, a few circles were added to the ancestral hall.

The result is not that he did not work, nor that he did not do well, but the most realistic point is that he was calculated by the group of dogs in Jizhou, and more importantly, his methods were a little worse, and he did not completely settle the accounts. .
