Chapter 1323
Meeting Rong Jin
However, suddenly a hundred soldiers burst out from nowhere, holding ropes in their hands, stringing Cui Wen, Qin Baotou and others together and dragging them away to the county government office.
Even the evil slaves and government servants who sneaked away to report the news were caught and tied up.
Chu Yin returned to the handsome manor.
It's just that she doesn't look very good.
Zi Su didn't dare to ask her, so she only pulled Liao Dong to ask what happened. Liao Dong simply said, "My lady is still hungry."
Mu Xiang had already asked the kitchen to prepare quickly, and soon the food was on the table, but the previous joy was gone.
Chu Yin only took a few bites before putting down his chopsticks, and returned to the banquet room without anyone accompanying him, "You all go to eat, and come back after eating.
"Also, pay attention. If Rong Jin comes back, let him come to see me as soon as possible."
About half an hour after Chu Yin came back, Rong Jin rushed back and immediately went to the study to see Chu Yin.
Chu Yin's mood had been adjusted, and he asked in a warm voice: "Have you eaten yet? If not, there are still ingredients in the kitchen. Let me make some more for you."
Rong Jin hurriedly bowed and said, "I've already eaten. I ate with the Marquis and the others."
Chu Yin then nodded, ordered someone to move his seat, and said: "The Marquis told me that you know something about the officials in the Western Region. Now I want to know the details, and then sort out and summarize them."
Rong Jin didn't know what happened to Chu Yin, so when she asked, he told her everything. He also asked people to go to his residence to get all the written records he had made.
Chu Yin asked while flipping through the pages: "Do you know the relationship between them?"
"Yes, not too many," Rong Jin answered truthfully, "After all, my subordinates haven't been here too long. And the people here live relatively scattered.
"And their government is not like other places... There are towns and villages below the county magistrate, and it takes a long time to visit a town.
“Almost every village chief is appointed directly by the county magistrate.
"The village elders are in name only. Basically, they are the county magistrate and county captain patrolling. If they find any cases, they will report them.
"Further up is the Zhizhou, with nine counties and one prefecture. The higher up the Zhizhou, there is no prefect but a governor, and there is one governor for the five prefectures. They can also be regarded as feudal officials.
"For example, Tong County under our feet belongs to Anan Prefecture and is under the jurisdiction of Dayong Governor Cui Jiutang."
Chu Yin paused and sneered slightly: "So, it seems that I have stirred a hornet's nest today?"
Rong Jin was stunned, "What do you think Madam said?"
Chu Yin glanced at Rendong, who then told what happened today.
Rong Jin's face turned cold, "Madam, please leave this matter to your subordinates."
"No need," Chu Yin waved his hand, "I have already sent someone."
Rong Jin hesitated for a moment, "However, as far as my subordinates know, the magistrate of Tong County was recommended by Cui Jiutang. I'm afraid it won't be handled fairly."
Chu Yin said calmly: "I never thought he would deal with it impartially, but I still have to go through this scene."
Rong Jin lowered his head and thought for a moment. It was about his wife, and the Marquis would definitely get the news as soon as possible. Maybe he would have sent someone to deal with it, so he would no longer insist.
Chu Yin called Mu Xiang and Zi Su over to help, and spent an entire afternoon listing all the local officials and their families. As for their relationship with each other, further investigation was needed.
Chu Yin said: "Don't worry about the two masters, Rong Jin, you still have to handle this matter. During the investigation, not only the wives of these officials must be investigated, but also the relationship between the favored concubines must be found out."
Even the evil slaves and government servants who sneaked away to report the news were caught and tied up.
