A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

Chapter 111: Raid on Tianjing Prefecture Yamen

Li Jingchen was also stunned.

But, it’s not impossible to think about it.

Two months should be enough to conduct an inspection in a provincial capital to understand whether the people have enough money to survive the winter and whether the local finances and taxation are reasonable, so that the Ministry of Revenue can make planning adjustments for the coming year.

But where to go?

"The Tianjing Prefecture in the south has always been relatively poor, so we should focus on patrolling and caring for it. What do you think, Your Majesty?"

"allow."

Governor Jiang Guodong received the order.

After court dismissal, Jiang Guodong went home to change out of his official uniform, told his wife that he was about to go on a tour of the south, asked her to pack his luggage quickly, and then left.

The coachman drove the carriage to the Grand Tutor's Mansion. When the doorman saw him, he immediately went to greet him and took him to Zhao Wenbo's study.

Zhao Zhifeng, who arrived earlier than him, was also in the study.

"sit down."

"is teacher."

Jiang Guodong saw that Zhao Zhifeng was a little hesitant, and didn't know whether it was convenient to ask his questions.

"Are you wondering why we suddenly asked you to go to the Southern Tianjing Mansion?"

"Yes."

Zhao Wenbo informed him of the secret report he had received about the numerous crimes committed by Kong De, the prefect of Tianjing Prefecture, and the Gan family, and avoided the matter of Yang Lijun, not wanting to create any more trouble for the time being.

Jiang Guodong was shocked.

When he went to Tianjing Prefecture for inspection two years ago, he did not find any of these things, and no people stood up to appeal for justice or seek help. He also felt that although the prefect Kong De looked unreliable, he was still doing a good job.

I never thought that I was deceived by him.

This was due to the efforts of Gan Yuelun and Duan Buqun, who spent a lot of money to find out his whereabouts in advance and dealt with those who wanted to sue him in advance, thus keeping the matter secret.

After all, the governor cannot stay for long, so it would be fine if he could avoid the limelight.

Duan Buqun is ruthless in his actions. If the victim's family is not destroyed, he will have something to hold against him that will make him afraid to act rashly. This is why Gan Yuelun likes to cooperate with him.

"Teacher...is this true?"

He still couldn't believe it.

"Really? I burned the evidence to prevent anyone from being exposed."

Zhao Wenbo glanced at Zhao Zhifeng and said to Jiang Guodong, "Go to Tianjing Mansion first. There is a secret agent there who will contact you. After you verify and confirm the authenticity of the evidence, give me a memorial and I will report it to the emperor."

"I'll send Zhifeng over to assist you with this case. He's careful and good at finding evidence and conducting interrogations. I'm assured that you two will be with me."

“Try to keep other people out of the way.”

Jiang Guodong understood that this was to prevent the credit from being taken away by others, or to prevent the people behind Tianjing Prefecture's prefect Kong De from taking advantage of the situation.

"Okay, teacher." Jiang Guodong stood up and bowed: "I will set off in the next two days. I will definitely find out the truth of the matter and will not let these bad apples go."

"Well, you can go back now. Don't tell anyone about what happened today."

"Yes."

Jiang Guodong left, and Zhao Zhifeng also left after half an hour.

This time, there was no news from Duan Buqun and with the obstruction of Old Wang, when Jiang Guodong and his men arrived at the gate of Tianjing Prefecture's government office, the officer who was yawning and leaning against the wall and almost falling asleep had not yet reacted.

His performance was completely different from the last time he came.

Jiang Guodong had a plan in mind.

"Go, pass on a message."

"Yes, my lord."

The guard behind Jiang Guodong stepped forward and shouted with full energy: "Mr. Governor Jiang Guodong is here. Please inform the prefect to come and greet him."

The dozing officer was startled.

As he thought about what he had just heard, his face turned pale.

The Governor is here!

But they didn’t receive the message!

"The Governor, Mr. Jiang Guodong, is here. Please inform the prefect to come and greet him."

The guard spoke loudly again.

The two officers were sweating profusely and their legs were shaking.

How could Jiang Guodong not understand?

It's already the end of the Si hour, and I'm afraid Kong De hasn't come to the yamen to report for duty yet.

The guards were not stupid. Looking at the officer's face and demeanor, they could roughly guess what was going on.

He looked back at Jiang Guodong, waiting for his next instructions.

"I'll go in and wait for him. Go and tell Lord Kong."

Jiang Guodong raised his leg and walked towards the yamen.

The officers dared not stop them, and one of them almost ran towards Kongde's mansion using both feet.

Jiang Guodong and his guards walked into the government office and found someone there.

They were Conde's staff, two or three of them were drinking tea and chatting, and the documents they were supposed to be processing were scattered and piled on the table, making it a mess.

Seeing someone coming in, a large group of them, those people were startled.

Take a closer look.

Their knees went weak and they all knelt down.

Governor, Jiang Guodong.

"Good fun, everyone."

Jiang Guodong greeted with a forced smile.

ok~

If he still doesn't understand that he has been fooled by Kong De all along when he came to inspect, then he is really hopelessly stupid!

"Your Excellency the Governor..."

The staff members didn't dare to respond and just asked Kong De to come and rescue them quickly.

However, at this moment, Kongde was still sleeping soundly in bed.

The officials from the government office came to Kongde's mansion and knocked on the door anxiously, causing the doorman to curse at them.

"Who are you? Are you looking for death? Do you know where this place is!?"

He started cursing as soon as he opened the door.

"Young man, I'm Xiao Xu, an official from the government office. Please tell the prefect that the governor is here!"

The doorman who opened the door wanted to curse a few more times, but when he heard what the officer Xiao Xu said, he was shocked and quickly turned around to find the housekeeper.

When the housekeeper heard this, he knew something bad had happened!

Go to the main courtyard and find Kong De immediately.

"Master! Master!"

The housekeeper didn't care too much at the moment and knocked on the door repeatedly.

Conde was awakened.

"Who is this? Are you looking for death?!"

I feel very grouchy when I wake up.

"Master! The governor is here! He's in the government office now!"

"What Governor..."

Before he could finish, Kong De's fat body trembled, and he immediately sat up and got out of bed, picked up a piece of clothing and put it on.

Opening the door, he asked nervously, "Who are you talking about! The Governor!?"

"The messenger from the government office came to pass on the message, so it shouldn't be false."

The housekeeper was also sweating with anxiety.

"Damn it! Why is he here!" Kong De went back to the house to find clothes. His concubine also helped him to arrange his clothes: "Damn it! Why is there no news!"

He put on his clothes while cursing. After a while, he was dressed neatly and went out, heading straight for the prefectural government office.

Jiang Guodong sat at the top, drinking tea, while his staff stood below with their heads down, breathing very lightly.

This was the scene that Conde saw when he arrived at the door of the office.

"Governor, I'm really sorry. I had a stomachache yesterday and didn't get a rest all night. I was late for work this morning. I accept the punishment, I accept the punishment."

As soon as Kong De entered the door, he confessed his crime. His reasons were not far-fetched and he did a good job on the surface.

"Is Master Kong feeling better now?"

His eyes were puffy and his steps were unsteady, it really looked like that.

Of course, this can also happen if you indulge in excessive sexual activities.

"I'm feeling better now. Thank you for your concern, Governor."

Kong De took over the conversation and asked carefully, "Why did the governor come here suddenly?"
