On the main hall of Luyi County, Princess Li Mingda looked at a middle-aged official in front of her with a disrespectful appearance. This is the corrupt county magistrate Wei Song? Li Mingda thought to himself that although this person is a tyrant, his overall image is pretty good, and it is impossible for people to imagine that he will be the person behind Yangtou Mountain.

"Wei Song, do you know your guilt?" Li Mingda sternly said.

The county magistrate knelt down immediately, "I don't know what happened that the princess has angered the princess, but the prince is willing to apologize to the princess."

Bai Dingguo sneered: "What a treacherous official. Do you think the princess is a three-year-old child who comes to play games with you?"

"This princess has found out a few days ago that you have colluded with sheep-headed bandits and made a fortune in the village and have committed a ten-nosed crime. What else do you have to say?" Li Mingda said again.

Who knew that when he heard this, the county magistrate was stunned. It turned out that it had something to do with Yangtou Mountain. No wonder there was a rumor coming yesterday and saying that there was movement in the green forest and Yangtou Mountain was not at ease. It seems that it was related to the princess and her group.

Wei Song, who was kneeling and laughing, stood up calmly, bowed to Li Mingda, and said seriously: "Although Xiaguan is only the humblest county magistrate of the Tang Dynasty, he also thinks that his official innocence is worthy of the people.

Today, the princess actually accused the Xiaguan of colluding with the bandits in Yangtoushan. She was so loyal and treacherous that she was framed by loyalty and kindness. Is there any law of the Tang Dynasty?”

"I knew you were going to deny it. This was the confession of the bandit leader who wrote the crime in that year and that month, and the dividends he offered to you were all clear. I really didn't expect that you, a small county magistrate, would actually make 500,000 taels of money in just five years, which was more than the bandits who robbed them.

In fact, those bandits are the hawks you raise to make money. What a good way." The third brother of the Bai family threw out a confession with a bloody handprint.

But Wei Song didn't even look at it. In his opinion, the princess in front of him was just a girl, and the guards were quite young. How could he beat him, an old man who had been in the officialdom for many years?

"What's wrong with the crime to be added? You said I colluded with bandits? Just a document will ruin my reputation for many years. Don't say that Wei refused to admit it today. Even if he talks about this matter, Wei will never bow his head."

Li Mingda looked back in embarrassment and looked at the second son of the Bai family. The meaning was obvious. He had no idea. What do you think?

The second son of the Bai family sneered and stepped forward and said, "When we came, we knew you would deny it, and we didn't think about what you would gain.

But those who do evil cannot escape the French Open. Although we have insufficient evidence, we have ways to let you explain your evil deeds one by one. I hope you are really innocent, otherwise we will be very disappointed."

"Who are you? Do you still want to betray them? Come and take them down for me. They pretend to be the princess of the Tang Dynasty and take them all down for me." Wei Song was panicked. From the words of the young man in front of him, he heard twelve degrees of fear.

But the yamen runners in a small county town were rivals of the Bai brothers? In less than a few rounds, more than a dozen yamen runners were beaten to the ground. The third brother of the Bai family arrested the county magistrate and came to the back hall of the county yamen. It was obvious that they were going to be sentenced.

Half an hour later, the third son of the Bai family came out with a serious confession.

"How about the third brother? Have you gained a lot? Depending on your way, could we make a mistake and have trouble?" the second brother asked anxiously.

The third brother Bai Guangyao shook his head and said, "It's indeed a big trouble, but it was not caused by us, but by the county magistrate. He is not a big fish behind the scenes. There are others behind him, and he has a very big identity."

"Oh? Why? In a small Luyi County, there is still a big shot in the small Yangtou Mountain? Who is so ignoring his identity?"

"Haha, no one cares about every mountain or county, but according to the Luyi County Magistrate, the man controlled no less than 30 county governments around Luoyang and even Henan Road. He paid 400,000 taels of silver in just one Luyi County in five years. How much money can the person behind the scenes make?" said the third son of the Bai family solemnly.

Everyone was shocked. This account was too easy to make up for. At least 12 million taels of silver. This number may not be big in the eyes of the richest man Bai Fan, but in the eyes of anyone in the Tang Dynasty, or even in front of the imperial treasury, 12 million taels is a huge sum of money. This is the tax revenue of the entire Henan Road for a year.

"Who is this person? Who is this person who makes such a big deal and dares to embezzle so much money? Doesn't your father know at all?" Li Mingda exclaimed.

The second son of the Bai family guessed: "It's not the governor of Luoyang, General Zhang Liang, in this Luoyang land, I don't know who has such great energy."

The third son of the Bai family nodded slowly: "It was Zhang Liang. Although this county magistrate was just speculating, there was no groundlessness. Often, the information channels of the court were not as accurate as those of the people. In any case, Zhang Liang's guilt for laying out the land of Luyi County was confirmed."

"What should I do now? Such a big thing can't be solved with us." Li Mingda said.

Bai Dingguo nodded and said, "No need to delay, I will go to the Beggars' Sect's reliable brothers, Eight Hundred Miles, to send this evidence to Chang'an. Something happened in Luyi County. Zhang Liang will soon know that we don't have much time, so we are afraid of alarming the enemy."

When Li Er from the court received this confession, it was already five days later. Although he was surprised that his youngest daughter knew to share the country's worries and punish corrupt officials, he was shocked when he saw Zhang Liang.

Luoyang Governor Zhang Liang, this general who was once under his command, entrusted him with important responsibilities after he took office, allowing him to take charge of Luoyang, the eastern capital. Unexpectedly, twenty years have passed and he has always praised him for being the most stable in Dongdu, but today he gave himself a blow. It seems that he has been operating in Luoyang for too long, and he blamed himself for being too nostalgic and unable to let the general go to the battlefield. Then let him firmly hold the rear.

"Come here, it is said that King Jin and Minister of War Li Ji came quickly."

In five days, the incident of Yangtou Mountain had already spread on Henan Road, and Zhang Liang of Luoyang also received news. Although he was a little vigilant, he thought that it was just the Green Forest incident that affected his own interests and did not care too much.

However, when Li Ji's army in Chang'an City moved, Luoyang immediately received news that Zhang Liang, as the number one important member of Luoyang, could not have no spy in Chang'an. Moreover, in this era, telegraph machines have basically become popular, and there are no private hands, and there are also public telegraphs for post offices in some big cities.
