The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

Chapter 216: Clues provided by Li 4: Sales channels of "opium"

"what!"

"Long live the King of the State!"

Seeing that all the officials in the county government were killed by Ye Feng, all the people kneeling on the ground shouted loudly.

Xun Huo never figured it out until his death. He was obviously the son of the second son of the Xun family and a omnipotent figure in the entire Dongyou County. So why did Ye Feng dare to kill him?

"Minister Su, you are responsible for counting the situation of all officials. No one should be left out. Arrest them all and exterminate their three clans!" Ye Feng looked at Su Hong and conveyed the order directly.

"As ordered!"

Su Hong also knew that the corpses along the way made Ye Feng too angry. That's why there is a saying "The rich are feasting and drinking, while the poor are freezing to death on the streets."

At this time, Ye Feng stepped forward, looked at the people, and said loudly: "I heard that there was a constable in Yulin County named Li Si. I wonder where he is now?"

"Lord Zhenguojun, that Li Si is a good man. Although he is a constable in Yulin County, he is unwilling to go along with Xun Huo and others. He wanted to appeal to the court several times, but was beaten half to death by Xun Huo. I heard that he is imprisoned in a cell." An old man said to Ye Feng.

"Duan Peng, take your men to the Heavenly Prison and bring this constable Li Si here." Ye Feng looked at the captain Duan Peng not far away and spoke slowly.

Now that the county magistrate and the officials of Yulin County have been completely killed, someone has to deal with the affairs of Yulin County. Since Li Si dared to risk offending Xun Huo and wanted to appeal to the court, he should be a good county magistrate and be upright.

"As ordered!"

Duan Peng turned around and led more than a dozen soldiers towards the Tianlao in Yulin County.

About half an hour.

Madam Xinling led people to search the entire government office, and then came to Ye Feng, her face full of anger. As a woman, she heard about the experiences of the women who were captured, and said, "Master Ye, nearly a hundred young women were found in the government office. After questioning, they all turned out to be from Yulin County. They were all captured by Xun Huo and brought to the government office. How should these women be dealt with?"

"Let it go."

Ye Feng shook his head and couldn't help sighing in his heart. It was shocking that a small county magistrate could wantonly ruin so many young women.

"Your Majesty, two warehouses were found in the government office, filled with more than 100,000 taels of gold, nearly 1 million taels of silver, and a lot of other treasures." Lao Xu led people to search the government office and found the two warehouses. He came to Ye Feng and reported truthfully.

"These gold and silver treasures were all obtained at the cost of the lives of the people of Yulin County. When the new county magistrate takes office, he will be in charge of the matter. He will count the number of people in each household, distribute the tax to each household, and distribute all the money to the people. They should be able to survive the coming winter."

Ye Feng did not put the gold and silver into the national treasury. He was very clear about the people in Yulin County. It was already late autumn, and if they had no money to buy food, who knows how many people would starve to death.

"I, Li Si, the humble commoner, pays homage to the Lord of the State!"

Duan Peng was followed by a middle-aged man in prison clothes, who was Li Si. He had a stern face, and his prison clothes were covered in bloodstains, and there were several scars on his face.

When Li Si was following Duan Peng on the way, he learned that Ye Feng had just arrived in Yulin County and killed all the corrupt officials including Xun Huo without leaving a single one alive. He was filled with gratitude.

"Are you Li Si, the constable of Yulin County? I heard that last year, you united many people and wanted to appeal to the court, but were captured by Xun Huo. Do you regret it?" Ye Feng looked at Li Si who was kneeling on the ground in front of him. The latter had pure eyes and a firm expression. He was indeed very good.

"Your Majesty, I, the humble Li Si, have done my best to fight against the treacherous and wicked in this life, and I will have no regrets even if I die!" Li Si said in a powerful voice.

Ye Feng took a few steps forward, looked at the people, and said loudly: "My fellow villagers, if I promote Li Si to be the magistrate of Yulin County, would you agree?"

"We are willing... willing... Constable Li is kind-hearted and upright."

"Zhen Guojun is wise, and Li Si is a good official."

"He used to lead people to help us build roads, repair canals, and catch bandits, sparing no effort."

……

The many people standing in the front were all very excited. They were just wondering whether after Xun Huo was beheaded, someone from the Xun family would be arranged to be the county magistrate again.

"Li Si, there are frozen corpses on the roads of Yulin County and the people are displaced. Now I appoint you as the county magistrate. Do you have the confidence to lead the people of Yulin County to reverse the decline?" Ye Feng turned around, looked at Li Si who was still kneeling on the ground, and asked in a loud voice.

"Your Majesty, Li Si will never delay. If a commoner starves to death in Yulin County in the future, Li Si is willing to commit suicide to apologize!" Li Si's face was determined and he clenched his fists tightly.

"In that case, then get up!" Ye Feng smiled and looked at the kneeling Li Si, and said slowly: "I will stay in Yulin County until noon tomorrow. You can start to select the county magistrate's office runners and the officials you need. You will arrange the money that Xun Huo has embezzled over the years. Don't let me down, understand?"

"Thank you, Lord Zhen Guo!"

As he spoke, Li Si was about to kneel down in front of Ye Feng again, but Ye Feng stopped him and said, "I don't like red tape. What I want is your ability to act."

In this way, Li Si worked as a constable in Yulin County for many years and had great abilities. He secretly found out the warehouse where Xun Huo stored grain. There were several granaries full of grain, as well as silver and money. It was not a problem for the people of Yulin County to survive the cold winter.

……

at dusk.

Li Si quickly came to Ye Feng and said softly, "Your Majesty, I have discovered a shocking secret in recent years and would like to report it to you."

"Oh...what secret?"

Ye Feng was a little surprised. Li Si didn't report this in front of everyone during the day. It was obvious that this secret was important, so he thought of reporting it alone in the evening.

"I suspect that Lord Changlin is secretly making 'opium poison' and harming the people. I implore Lord Zhenguo to enforce justice and get rid of Lord Changlin." Li Si said in a low voice.

"Is there opium poison in Yulin County?"

Ye Feng frowned slightly. When he left Changlin County, he burned all the "opium flowers" and killed all the people who made them. If he could get rid of all the people who were arranged by Zhao Changlin to sell "opium poison", he would surely be able to find evidence of Zhao Changlin selling "opium poison".

"Yeah!" Li Si nodded and said, "After investigation, the opium poppy in the entire Dongyou County was transferred by people from a small village. They all collected the opium poppy from Changlin County."

"It seems that you are a good detective. You have a sharp eye and are able to investigate such information." Ye Feng stood up, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "You lead the way. I will mobilize the army to catch them all and kill them all."

"As you command!" Li Si's face was filled with excitement, and he immediately said, "There is a junior master among them, please bring more people with you, Lord Zhenguo."

"rest assured."

Ye Feng walked out of the yard and told Madam Xinling to take Lao Xu and Duan Peng with him, and then followed Li Si to the outside of Yulin County.
