"What?"

Guo Chengyou was furious and said, "How dare this fellow!"

Arresting the Wang family members is one thing, but confiscating their property is problematic.

Because he often communicated with Wang Qian, and also with Wang Qian's brother Wang Zai, there was a transfer of interests between them, and there might be evidence in the Wang family.

So he must not let the other party raid the Wang family’s house.

"Why didn't you stop it?"

Guo Chengyou asked loudly.

County Magistrate Shi smiled bitterly and said, "There are hundreds of imperial guards here, how could I dare to stop them?"

"Hmm"

Guo Chengyou sobered up immediately and figured out the situation after a little thought.

The current situation is that the other party is relying on its troops to forcibly search for evidence.

Then he must get ahead of the opponent and stop him.

If necessary, if the other party really gets evidence, he will find a way to destroy the evidence.

Even if it offends the nobles in Bianliang, it doesn't matter. After all, the Liu family is not a big family.

As long as everything is taken care of afterwards and a deal is negotiated with the Liu family, Liu Bin, a junior, probably won't be able to cause any trouble even if he wants to uphold justice.

So what should we do?

The other side has regular troops.

But he has it too.

The Song Dynasty was divided into the Imperial Guards and the Wing Guards. The Imperial Guards were mainly stationed on the northern border. In addition, there were Imperial Guards stationed in the Four Capitals, Huainan, Huaibei, Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The local armies of each prefecture were mainly composed of wing troops, but Bozhou also had a royal guard.

On weekdays, Guo Chengyou always treated the imperial guards and the wing troops as his own private army, and the imperial guards protected him when he went in and out. These are recorded in many historical materials.

Therefore, Guo Chengyou had more than 2,000 local troops and a battalion of imperial guards consisting of several hundred people.

Guo Chengyou said without hesitation: "Let's go to Ling County now."

He changed into his official uniform and ordered his men to mobilize the troops.

In less than half an hour, the Bozhou wing troops and the imperial guards were ready and hurried towards the direction of Ling County.

At the same time, Zhao Jun had led people to raid the home of the landlord Wang.

The whole county was in an uproar.

A large number of people who had not yet slept ran over to watch the fun.

This landlord Wang was obviously not a good person. A lot of evidence was found in his home, including correspondence, forged account books, and a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry, money, treasures, land deeds, and so on.

Many of them were obtained through trickery and robbery.

Moreover, this guy likes to show off. He even talked to his friends in letters about how he tricked farmers into giving up their land.

If the tenants have no money to pay the rent, they are forced to sell their children. Cases like this are right in front of us.

"The crimes of the Song Dynasty landlords and officials were truly undisguised."

Looking at the evidence in his hand, Zhao Jun could only sigh.

Just like in history when Han Qi investigated the four prime ministers Wang Sui, Chen Yaozuo, Han Yi and Shi Lizhong, the breakthrough point was also their letters.

Why did people in the Northern Song Dynasty like to talk about bad things in letters?

This is actually not a side story. For example, if you want to go somewhere, certain processes that happen in the middle are actually part of the main story. The main storyline of the protagonist is to reform the Song Dynasty, make the Song Dynasty strong, investigate corruption, conduct research at the grassroots level, and prepare for the future. These are also part of the main storyline.
