This is why Lin Tai didn't know much about A Fei's abilities, and also because Lin Tai didn't believe that anyone would really investigate in detail.
Because they weren't the only group of people brought along on the way.
He dared not ask for details, nor could he ask.
But I guess they'll just ask around and check the household registration and travel permit.
If you resist, even if you can escape at the time, what about later? How will you get out of the county?
He never dreamed that Company Commander Zhao would find out his background.
They were taken separately to Magistrate Song Zhen.
Their troops were only responsible for checking people and conducting the most basic inquiries; if there were any problems, they would be handed over to the government.
Song Zhen also didn't sleep all night. The search in various places uncovered many people who had come looking for their hometown, probably several hundred people.
The soldiers simply sifted through people from other places, and those confirmed to be from Xunwang Township were sent to the county government one after another. Of course, this also included suspicious persons from other places besides Xunwang Township.
With too many people, Song Zhen had no choice but to ask Qi Xiuwen for help.
Qi Xiuwen sent people to interrogate them separately.
The vast majority of people who come to Wangxiang are misled into coming to Bian'ai County.
They agreed on a time to cause trouble together.
Surprisingly, most of them were brought by the village chief.
A thorough investigation revealed that these village chiefs were all appointed by Lin Tai, and they only needed to obey Lin Tai's orders.
No matter how many good or bad things they do, as long as they don't embezzle or accept bribes and get reported to Lin Tai, they'll be fine.
Therefore, these village chiefs are particularly cunning. They never openly embezzle or accept bribes; they always do things to make money in secret.
They are using the guise of developing villages and building their hometown.
Moreover, they don't need to pay tribute to Lin Tai; they can reap all the benefits themselves.
Lin Tai's subordinates, including officials and clerks, did not dare to openly embezzle or accept bribes, but instead used the same methods to gain benefits.
In the end, the common people suffered even more.
They even blamed all their suffering on the policies of Chenxi, because the policies they received were a mix of truth and falsehood.
Therefore, the people of Xunwang Township are not very grateful to Chenxi, and some even resent him.
"The first group claimed to be a righteous army, but it turned into a turmoil. The next group claimed to be for the people, but our lives are still very hard."
One of the ordinary people, having no other choice, said those words.
Therefore, no matter how good the policies from above are, if they are not implemented or are only superficially implemented at the lower levels, then the people will suffer even more.
After questioning them thoroughly, aside from determining some of the village chief's crimes, the others were just incidental cases and should not be punished too severely.
When Lin Tai and the others were brought over, Song Zhen was the first to see the interrogation record, and his eyes lit up immediately.
This is a real big fish.
Everything started because of him.
They thought that after searching for so long, they hadn't been able to find Lin Tai and that he had already run away.
I didn't expect him to be hiding. If it weren't for a stroke of luck and the staff's diligence, we really wouldn't have been able to catch him.
Lin Tai, who was being held captive, realized that something was wrong, but by then, he couldn't escape.
Song Zhen summoned Qi Xiuwen directly; Lin Tai's matter was a big deal.
Qi Xiuwen then reported to Shen Xi.
It was already morning. As Chenxi ate her soft steamed buns, she said, "Let Xiuwen handle it. I trust him."
"Xiuyan, go and assist Xiuwen."
"yes."
Xing Xiuyan finished her meal in a few bites and immediately went outside.
"What's the rush? You're in such a hurry to eat."
Di Yingxue covered her mouth and laughed, "We can't keep the Premier waiting for Xiuyan, can we?"
Shenxi was taken aback: "I wonder if Xiuwen has eaten yet."
"I don't think so. The Premier always eats at the designated time, and it's not lunchtime yet."
Shen Xi then directly summoned a messenger: "Let the Prime Minister in."
When Qi Xiuwen came in, Xing Xiuyan followed behind him, looking completely bewildered.
Chenxi pointed to a spot to the side: "Xiuwen, sit down and eat something before you go."
Qi Xiuwen thought something was wrong with Shen Xi, but it turned out to be food for him.
He couldn't help but smile wryly: "Chief, Lin Tai's matter is important."
Chenxi picked up another small steamed bun: "Sit down, eat first, then we'll talk. He's not important."
We already know most of the details, and all we can ask are for some specifics. No matter how detailed they are, they are all about how the arrangements were made and who was there to meet us.
Lin Tai is just a bookish, incompetent scholar who excels at exams.
Reading more books is useless.
For someone like that, how you arrange things or where it is doesn't really matter.
Helpless, Qi Xiuwen could only sit at the small table to the side, where Li Qin served him breakfast.
"Then I will trouble you, sir."
The food here is always better than anywhere else.
Even if others learn Li Qin's skills, they will always fall short of the original.
"There's no need for such formalities between us; you are my most important subordinate."
Qi Xiuwen smiled wryly: "Last time, the commander said that Zhao Rong was your most important subordinate."
Chen Xi said awkwardly, "They're all important."
Qi Xiuwen remained silent, adhering to the principle of not speaking while eating or sleeping; he never wanted to discuss matters during meals.
Shen Xi wiped her mouth; she was already full.
Qi Xiuwen had eaten at Shen Xi's place more than once, so he was not bothered by Shen Xi leaving the table after finishing his meal.
Not only Qi Xiuwen had eaten at Shen Xi's place, but many of Shen Xi's subordinates had also eaten there for free.
There's no other reason than Li Qin's exceptional skill.
After rinsing her mouth, Shenxi went into the inner room and looked at Shenyue, who was still frowning on the bed, and couldn't help but feel resentful.
Lin Tai is quite something, causing chaos in the county town, which ended up frightening Shen Yue.
The child, who was a little over three years old but not yet four, fell ill after being frightened, especially since the weather had turned cold these past few days.
Shenxi touched Shenyue's forehead and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The fever is finally under control.
In ancient times, even a common cold could be fatal.
Moreover, although the epidemic is no longer a problem, the virus still exists. Once infected, the symptoms will worsen if it mixes with other viruses.
This is also one of the reasons why she doesn't deal with things; she wants to stay by Shen Yue's side.
Besides, Lin Tai really isn't worth her trouble.
Whether we catch them or not, it's not a big deal.
The county town has been stabilized. The villagers of Xunwang Township who have not yet reached the county town have been intercepted by the army on the way and arrested on the spot. The rest can be left to Qi Xiuwen and his men.
Her task is to discover talent, make good use of talent, formulate major policies and strategies, and unite the core forces, so that she doesn't have to handle everything.
Shenxi knows her strengths and weaknesses, and her greatest strength lies in her ability to discover and utilize talent.
Moreover, she provided guidelines and strategies to unite these people towards a clear goal, which was the greatest success.
"Big sister, I'm thirsty."
Shen Yue's face was pale, and she looked at Shen Xi very weakly.
