When Yongzheng dressed as Lin Ruhai

Chapter 63

The money for building the dam is the most likely to be embezzled by corrupt officials, so it is also what Lin Ruhai should pay attention to the most.Even if those officials can change the account, no matter how well the account is done, it is inevitable that some problems will occur. If some clues can be found from this account, then they can follow the clues to find out where the dam is. A section was faked.

Because of this, when he finally arrived in Henan, the first thing Lin Ruhai did along the way was to call the local officials responsible for building the dam and ask them to hand over the account books in their hands so that he and the people he brought could check the accounts.

Lin Ruhai checked the accounts in his previous life, and he also knew that it was really difficult to find out what was in the accounts, because generally speaking, there were two copies of these accounts, one was true and the other was fake, but Lin Ruhai was never an accountant. A prisoner.

He doesn't just want to find what he wants from the ledger, and the reason why he wants to check the ledger in such a big way is because he wants the local officials in Henan to turn their attention to it and confuse everyone's attention. If so, then I can take other actions.

Of course, it is not easy to deceive those old and treacherous officials, and this group of people is the most difficult to deal with.

However, when dealing with this group of people, even if Lin Ruhai does not have the prominent status in his previous life to support him, making them feel scruples and dare not do anything, but in this life Lin Ruhai has Tu Junpu as his backer, even if these officials do not want to Keep your hands, but Lin Ruhai also has a gold medal given by Tu Junpu as if I came in person, so he can do things cheaply, and he can even dispatch troops and generals to kill first and then play.

In the previous life, Lin Ruhai was not able to let go of his fists as he is now. On the contrary, because he was a prince and prince, sometimes he would restrain his hands and feet because of this status, so as not to accidentally break a taboo, and then be beaten by the officials, which would attract the emperor. Amma's suspicion.

So, this life is actually a lot easier.

However, thanks to Tu Junpu, if someone else is the emperor, I am afraid that Lin Ruhai will not be able to relax like this. Instead, he will be restrained everywhere as in his previous life, and even live in fear.

In this way, it is impossible to tell whether this reincarnation is a blessing in disguise.

Because of the care of Tu Junpu, Lin Ruhai brought a lot of family members, so he left more than a dozen people to check the accounts, and some servants guarded in the posthouse, and he brought his closest subordinates I plan to come to a private visit on Weibo to find out the people's sentiments.

Lin Ruhai brought his confidants to Puyang County on the north bank of the Yellow River, but saw that the people were still going about their activities as usual, and the market on the street was also very lively, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

But even so, Lin Ruhai couldn't help frowning tightly.

Tan Xiaojun on the side was a little curious when he saw it. He has always been a man from Shandong who can't hide his words, so he stepped forward and asked softly, "Is there something on your mind?"

Lin Ruhai nodded, pointed at the people in Puyang County and said, "Do you think there is anything wrong here?"

"Isn't it right?" Qin Xiaojun scratched his hair, observed the surroundings according to Lin Ruhai's instructions, thought for a while, and said: "It seems that the county magistrate of Puyang County is a rare good official, otherwise he will rule How can the common people in this country not be worried about the coming disaster of the Yellow River, and they still behave in the same way on weekdays, without a trace of worry on their faces."

"Really?" Lin Ruhai's voice didn't fluctuate at all, and the question he uttered didn't sound like a question, but the tone sounded like a statement. "The Yellow River has been ruled and defended every year, but it still breaks its embankment every year. Even if there is a good official in Puyang County, how can he control the officials in the whole Henan. And as long as there is a problem here, there will be a problem. If there is no negligence, no matter how well the river dam in Puyang County is built, how can it be spared."

"This..." Qin Xiaojun frowned when he heard the words: "Your Excellency, you mean that there are frauds in Puyang County?"

"Xiaojun, I remember that your hometown is also near the Yellow River?" Lin Ruhai didn't answer Qin Limin's question directly, but changed the subject instead.

Qin Xiaojun has been with Lin Ruhai for ten years. As a martial artist, although he doesn't like to use his brain very much, but after following him for a long time, he also understands that his master always likes to throw bricks and sparks when he says and does things, so he doesn't care about Lin Ruhai's answers. Doesn't look surprising.He nodded and added his hometown.

"The villain's hometown is Taiqian County in Shandong Province. It's really close to the Yellow River, and it's on the river's edge." Qin Xiaojun thought for a while, and then said, "Speaking of which, it's close to Henan."

"In this way, you have gained a lot of convenience." Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Since you are here, I will give you half a month's leave when things are settled, and allow you to go home and have a good time with your relatives at home."

"Thank you, master." Tan Xiaojun immediately grinned when he heard this, and he looked more and more simple and honest.

"However..." Lin Ruhai changed the subject and said, "Since your home is on the edge of the Yellow River, let's recall, after Ling Xun, did the people in your hometown have such a carefree life?" What does it look like? Regardless of whether the local officials are good or not, do the people really have no worries about the Yellow River blocking the embankment? Even if they don’t live as usual, there will never be a trace of worry on their faces.”

Only then did Qin Xiaojun suddenly realize: "From this point of view, there are indeed tricks in Puyang County." Afterwards, Qin Limin said again: "Master, do you want the villain to trick these people together with others?"

"No need, it's just useless. The people in this county are under the control of others, and even the running dogs of the county magistrate are mixing with these people, so they dare not even show a trace of worry. In this way, you What else can we find out from it?" Lin Ruhai thought for a while, and then said firmly: "Forget it, those lackeys must have seen our unfamiliar faces, so we might as well pretend to be businessmen, and then find an inn first Settle down and leave the county magistrate tomorrow."

"Leave tomorrow?" Qin Xiaojun asked in surprise, "Then we won't investigate?"

"How can we not investigate." Lin Ruhai shook his head, "It's just that we need to dispel their guard first, and then find another reason to come back. How can we get the answers we want from the people..." Lin Ruhai moved his lips He squeezed it tightly, obviously not yet drawn a conclusion.

In the end, he said, "Let's play by ear when the time comes."

After Lin Ruhai made his decision, he led a group of people to find a house and stayed in a clean inn.

Lin Ruhai was well prepared for this trip, because he had thought of pretending to be a businessman in order to get away from the identity of the imperial envoy so as to get some clues from the people, so he packed two carriages of spices early on as a request Things for sale.

Although scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants belong to the last class, but those who travel across states and provinces, only their identity as merchants will not arouse suspicion, and people will be on guard.

Lin Ruhai has always been considerate in his work, even coming to Puyang County is a good time, so when he arrived in this county, the sun in the sky had already set in the west, so it would not be too abrupt to find an inn for one night.

Lin Ruhai and his party did attract the attention of the county officials, but they saw that there was nothing suspicious about their party, so they were not in a hurry to step forward to test, so as not to startle the snake, they sent a person to report to the county magistrate, intending to Follow orders.

It's just that the county magistrate, Zhao Limin, couldn't immediately conclude that those people would be imperial envoys, so after hesitating for a while, he asked the people below not to make unnecessary movements for the time being, and to watch the movement first, before saying anything else.

Therefore, Lin Ruhai stayed in the inn for one night, but he was safe and peaceful.

In the early morning of the second day, Lin Ruhai got up under the service of his servants, and after washing up, he went downstairs to the lobby to have breakfast.

At that time, Lin Ruhai's subordinates woke up early, but Lin Ruhai was much later than usual.
