Wei and Jin cooks

Fu Tinghan watched his figure disappear and asked in confusion: "Why did you change your mind?"

Before, she clearly looked like she was going to kill him as a warning to others.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "I have already killed someone. Looking at it today, he was indeed frightened. But before I come, he still violates both yin and yang. He doesn't even show the appearance of obeying yin and yin."

"So killing him is of little use," Zhao Hanzhang's eyes darkened, "Since we want to kill him, let's kill a big one."

Fu Tinghan did not ask her who she wanted to kill, but asked: "Do you plan to use him?"

Zhao Hanzhang nodded, "Use it for now, just look at the day."

Fu Tinghan turned his head and looked outside, only to see that the sky was dim, dark clouds were pressing on the ground, and the north wind was blowing in waves, chilling his bones.

Zhao Hanzhang said: "It's going to snow heavily."

Fu Tinghan's heart sank, it was snowing heavily at this time...

"I don't know how many refugees there are outside, and I don't know what the situation of the local people is. It's easy to kill a county magistrate. If he dies, he will die. But who will prepare relief materials for me and organize the villagers to help themselves?" Zhao Hanzhang said: "He can do things, so let's keep him first."

After saying that, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's really abominable to do nothing if you can and let the situation get worse day by day!"

I really want to beat someone up.

Fu Tinghan's mood did not fluctuate much. He said: "In this era, this attitude is normal, isn't it?"

Zhao Hanzhang lowered his eyes and thought, "So we must first improve the attitude of the officials. At least let them establish a correct attitude."

"Hmph, it's a coincidence. Let's start from Nanyang Kingdom."

Zhao Hanzhang went directly to write the order, stamped it and asked Qiu Wu to send it to various places. He also sent a copy back to Chen County, and Ji Yuan sent the order to other counties.

At night, when snowflakes were falling, Fan Ying braved the snow and came back to report, "Magistrate Gao arranged for the refugees to live in several abandoned houses in the county. He and many wealthy pawnshops in the county rented some bedding and thick clothes." , and charcoal and firewood, I can barely survive the night.”

Zhao Hanzhang asked: "Where is the food?"

"Magistrate Gao used the grain in the county government's warehouse."

Zhao Hanzhang sneered and said to her: "Tell Gao Cheng that I want to check the county government's accounts tomorrow and ask him to prepare the account books for me."

Fan Ying bowed and said, "Yes."

Gao Cheng was so busy that his feet didn't even touch the floor. When he heard the bad news, his eyes darkened slightly.

The bookkeeper who followed him waited closely for him to calm down for a while before saying: "County Lord, we just misappropriated the grain in the warehouse today, and the accounts are not even yet, and even if we tell the truth, the previous accounts..."

Gao Cheng said angrily: "Do you think Zhao Hanzhang doesn't know? Then Fan Ying's eyes are like two lanterns. We moved so much food from the warehouse today, she doesn't know?"

"She specifically told me to check the accounts. She just asked me to find a way to raise relief food myself and was not allowed to misappropriate things from the warehouse."

Although Gao Cheng knew it, he didn't have the guts to refuse Zhao Hanzhang.

He has figured it out now. His life is a fish that has been bitten by Zhao Hanzhang. She is still hesitating whether to take up the line. If she does, he will soon become a dead fish. If he doesn't, he will become a dead fish. He would be able to live with the fishhook for a while longer. Perhaps during this time, he could find a way to break free of the fishhook, or she would be merciful and remove the hook.

Gao Cheng was not naive and knew that the possibility of the latter was almost zero, so he could only find a way to escape by himself, but before he could escape, he had to stay alive.

So after Gao Cheng was heartbroken, he gritted his teeth and said, "Go buy food and make up for the lack of food in the county government warehouse."

Money, of course, comes from high success.

Everyone in Xi'e County who had food actually cooperated. When they saw Gao Cheng rushing to buy food, they were very considerate and sold it to him because the price of food had increased slightly due to the disaster.

However, Gao Cheng didn't care anymore. At this time, as long as he could fill up the accounts and prevent Zhao Hanzhang from getting any real evidence, she could kill him easily.

Although she cut him, sometimes no tangible evidence is needed.

Zhao Hanzhang spent one night reading the latest official documents of Xi'e County, and also looked through the household registration and tax account books of Xi'e County to get a preliminary understanding of the situation in Xi'e County.

Fu Tinghan was already sitting among a pile of county annals and account books.

Both of them were a little busy, but in their busy schedule, Zhao Hanzhang even met with the big families in the county in a cordial manner, and learned more about Xi'e County and Nanyang Country from them.

Nanyang Country is a very special place.

It is a neutral country, which shows how important its geographical location is.

And it is precisely because it is so important that the counties here are a bit out of control. Everyone has their own ideas and does not want to listen to the orders of the Nanyang County Governor.

Of course, the Nanyang County Sheriff didn't have any good orders this time. He was the one who took the lead in charging high commercial taxes on passing merchants and expelling refugees.

From the big households in Gaochenghe County, Zhao Hanzhang learned that the governor of Nanyang State not only collected high taxes from passing merchants, but also collected high taxes from them.

"It is said that the King of Nanyang wanted to raise troops to protect the Jin Dynasty, so he had to raise food and grass." Zhao Hanzhang kicked off her shoes, followed the example of people of this era and sat on the mat with her legs crossed, with a brazier at her feet. She sighed and said: "I don't know whether King Nanyang really has such great control over Nanyang Kingdom, or whether Pei He is acting in the name of King Nanyang."

Fu Tinghan: "What are you going to do?"

Zhao Hanzhang said: "Whether this is the intention of King Nanyang or what Pei He did privately, in Yuzhou, there can only be one will, and Nanyang Kingdom belongs to Yuzhou, so you must obey me!"

Zhao Hanzhang had already made up his mind, "Pei He must be replaced."

"But he is the governor of a country. It's not like Prefect Zhang during the war. You can't kill him." Fu Tinghan knew that officialdom has its own rules. If Zhao Hanzhang wanted to attract talents, he had to abide by some rules.

She could kill the county magistrate for dereliction of duty, corruption and bribery, but she could not kill a county magistrate for such reasons without going through trial.

It was an accident for Governor Zhang. It was wartime and it was a time of life and death. It was okay to kill two more governors, but not now.

Zhao Hanzhang also knew this.

She tapped her fingertips, suddenly raised her head and said, "Then I'll let him take the initiative to resign."

"Huh?" Fu Tinghan raised his head and looked at her doubtfully.

Zhao Hanzhang raised his chin slightly and said, "I want him to take the initiative to resign!"

The essence of it is naturally the word "want", so the question is, how can she get Pei He to take the initiative to resign?

Zhao Hanzhang went to bed early, and announced to the public the next day that she was sick from the cold and had to stay behind closed doors to recuperate.

But in fact, she led Qiu Wu to quietly leave Xi'e County, and quickly went to Luyang with only a hundred people.

In the main courtyard behind the county government office, Fu Tinghan was the only one who lived there.

Zhao Erlang lived with the soldiers. He ran in like a gust of wind. He glanced around and didn't see his sister. He immediately went to Fu Tinghan, "Brother-in-law, they said that my sister is sick. Where is she?"

Fu Tinghan said: "I took medicine and fell asleep."

Seeing that Zhao Erlang wanted to go and see it, he said: "It has snowed heavily these past two days, and we have been traveling in the wind for days. You should also be a little bit cold. Do you want to take a bowl of medicine to prevent it?"

Zhao Erlang immediately stood up straight, looked around and said: "Brother-in-law, my sister asked me to lead people to keep an eye on Gao Cheng and not allow him to make any small moves. I went to see him and had dinner in the army at noon and did not come back."

After saying that, he ran away.

Fu Tinghan didn't stop him, shook his head and continued to look down at the county journal in his hand.

See you tomorrow
