Chapter 96

"Old horse! Please interrogate this housekeeper surnamed Gu alone later, as long as you can get him to speak, you can use any method to pry his mouth open as soon as possible!" Du Long whispered to the old horse who was taking notes road.

He didn't know that there would be such a big move in Fengli County this time, otherwise he would ask his family for more people.

Seeing that the old horse was ordered to leave, Du Long looked at his friends with a wry smile and said, "Which one of you is better at writing, please come up and help me be a recorder!"

"I'll come, I'll come!" Su Jinbao, a restless guy, immediately said courageously, as if he was afraid that others would rob him, he walked over to the paperwork and sat down in a dignified manner, and then turned to Zeng Wan'er He said with a dry smile, "Wan'er, could you help me grind the ink?"

Being invited by him so brazenly, although Zeng Wan'er blushed with shame, she, the daughter of the Libu Shangshu family, knew that today was not the time to joke, she resolutely came out of the line, and for the first time listened to Su Jinbao's words, obediently Stand next to the copywriter and help grind the ink!

In the hall, Qian Jinlong trembled even more when he saw his big butler tied up behind him for interrogation. It seemed that he also knew that he might be in big trouble this time!

After Lao Ma was asked to interrogate Gu Chen in person, the trial in the government hall continued. In order to save time, Du Long tried his best to interrogate some relatively serious cases. Only in this way could the prefect Qian Jinlong be charged with a more serious crime!

As time passed, when Du Long and the others were furious by those appalling and unimaginable cases, the figures of Lao Ma and Fu Bo finally appeared outside the lobby.

Due to the additional review of the various account books of the City Lord's Mansion, it took Fu Bo two hours to sort out the accounts, and he rushed to report to Du Long.

"Old Ma, it's up to you to report the result of the interrogation first!" Du Long saw the smile on Lao Ma's face and knew that he had the result of the interrogation.

"Yes! Master, Gu Chen has already confessed completely! This is his confession, with his handprint and seal on it!" The old horse handed over a confession, which listed a lot of criminal evidence, and there was an eye-catching Red handprint!

After receiving the confession, Du Long browsed through it roughly, and then asked Uncle Fu at the side: "Uncle Fu! Did you find anything inappropriate after reviewing the accounts of the government office and the city lord's mansion?"

"Yes! The accounts of the government office have obviously been tampered with. In recent years, the accounts have been calculated and have been losing money every year. For the past ten years, Fengli County has owed the county magistrate Jinlong 126,510 money. Sixteen gold coins!"

"Afterwards, I found the real bills of Fengli County in recent years in the account books brought back from the City Lord's Mansion. After calculating, Fengli County not only has no losses every year, but also has a little profit. It's a pity that it all fell into Qian Jinlong's pocket!"

"Besides, we also found out from the internal account books of the City Lord's Mansion that they not only make a deficit in Fengli County's fiscal and taxation every year, but also seek huge personal profits through private gold mining, human trafficking, and monopolizing salt and grain industries!"

Snapped!

In the lobby, after hearing Fu Bo explain everything clearly, Du Long slammed the gavel and roared, "Bold Qian Jinlong! What do you have to argue about the numerous crimes you have committed?"

"My lord! You are wronged! You really are wronged!" At this moment, Fatty Qian was still repeating these words nervously.

"Are you saying that you are wronged? Could it be that the grievances of countless people in the hall are all fake? You are a county guard, and you are paid hundreds of gold coins every year! Even if you don't eat or drink for a hundred years, don't you? Can you borrow hundreds of thousands of gold coins to subsidize the daily expenses of Fengli County?" Du Long angrily shouted disdainfully.

Soon, the officials of Fengli County who were first brought down for interrogation, under the pressure of being frank and lenient but resisting strictness, finally some people could not bear the pressure to confess. Du Long directly ordered them to be brought to court one by one to confront Qian Jinlong !

Facing the facts, Fatty Qian finally collapsed, and actually shouted in public: "I have the backing of Prime Minister Zuo Fan De, you can't treat me like this! Otherwise, Lord Zuo Xiang will definitely make you look good in the future!"

For Fatty Qian who took the initiative to call out the protective umbrella behind the scenes, Du Long had already burst into laughter from the bottom of his heart. If he called out Fan's name in public like this, even if he couldn't be brought down for the time being, at least he would be able to respect Fan in the hearts of the people. The seeds of hatred were planted!

"Hmph! It's no use supporting you today even if I'm the king of heaven! Come on, take Qian Jinlong, the governor of the county, Gu Chen, the housekeeper, and... to parade in the streets!" Du Long didn't care what kind of backer this fat man brought out, No matter how awesome the surname Fan was, he couldn't compare to the imperial decree promulgated by the emperor himself, but he has the right to kill first and then play in the territory!

Already, a group of soldiers rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and pulled down the criminals who committed Taotian crimes one by one. Most of the officials and nobles who had been kneeling on the ground were taken away immediately, only a few who committed crimes The crime is not too serious and has not been named by Du Long!

Thus, a good show began to be staged in the city of Fengli County. The once majestic governor Qian Jinlong and his subordinate officials and nobles were imprisoned in several carriages that held criminals and wandered along the street. Let the people in the county throw some rotten vegetables, rotten eggs, and broken stones on them.

In this regard, Du Long didn't have time to deal with these people anymore, and started to arrange the house raids, and the first target was naturally the wealthy City Lord's Mansion!

His method is very simple, directly put all the family members in the mansion into prisons, arrest all those who are in charge and interrogate them later, all the guards of the mansion temporarily take them into custody pending review, and keep the ordinary servants of the mansion temporarily.

There is no way, the city lord's mansion in Nuoda can't be left alone, in the future this will be his own territory, don't let it go to waste!

After taking over the City Lord's Mansion, Du Long settled down with several good friends, and then took Princess Huofeng, Fu Bo, and Lao Ma to the warehouse of the City Lord's Mansion. When the door of the warehouse was opened, they were all shocked!

This is a warehouse located behind the city lord's living room. Inside is a basement with a radius of nearly 50 meters, filled with various treasures, the most conspicuous of which is the golden mountain made of gold bars!

Next to Jinshan, there are more than a dozen boxes of various jewelry, as well as precious materials such as monster skins and pills, which are special products of the Monster Forest, and many precious antique calligraphy and paintings, etc. Classified and stored neatly.

"Oh my god! Husband, just by copying this place, we will spend our lives forever!" Even a princess like Huofeng, who was born in a royal family, was stunned by the treasure house in front of her.

"Hey! I don't know how much money Qian Jinlong took from the common people! Don't think there is a lot of money here. If you really want to return the money to the people, it may not be enough to spend! After all, destruction is always better than construction. It's not easy, and it won't happen overnight if people want to regain confidence in Fengli County!" Du Long replied in a low voice.

For three consecutive days, a group of corrupt officials were dragged out to parade in the street. The lord du concubine issued a notice that after three days of parading in the street, the corrupt officials would be tried publicly in the square outside the government office of Fengli County!

During this period of time, Du Long was not idle either. Apart from the richest city lord's mansion being raided by those corrupt officials, other noble officials who committed Taotian's crimes were not spared, and all their properties were confiscated. All detained and awaiting trial!

The treasure vault in the City Lord's Mansion was long gone, and Du Long had to clear out a building in the City Lord's Mansion to temporarily store the countless money that had not been confiscated!

In just three days, the money accumulated in Du Long's hands reached a terrifying level. He never dreamed that such a backward and poor place could have such a harvest!
