Chapter 19

Shan Changhe hurried to the imperial study room, and the emperor ordered him to send a group of people to select smart and capable people from the Yulong Guards to go to Baihu County to find out the truth of the matter.

Xiao Maochang was listening on the sidelines and suddenly said: "Your Majesty, although the Yulong Guards should be responsible for this matter, it involves court officials, and Li Shabai is an example of Northern literati, so it is better to let the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple Faction

People will investigate together, and then the Yushitai will supervise the whole process."

When Shan Changhe heard this, his eyelids twitched twice. The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and Yushitai must have stretched their hands too wide.

The emperor thought for a while and said: "That's fine, pass on my will and don't wrongly accuse good people."

The emperor paused, and suddenly he seemed to be in high spirits: "Speaking of which, there is one more thing. Li Xing just caught a thief, and he was none other than Pi Kefeng, a wanted criminal on the list of wanted criminals by both the Ministry of Punishment and the Yulong Guard. I remember that this person was on the list of wanted criminals by the Ministry of Punishment and the Yulong Guard.

Catch him, Yulongwei is also arresting him, he has been at large for many years, there is nothing we can do about him, but he was caught by Li Xing."

After hearing this, Xiao Maochang didn't care too much. Anyway, there were so many wanted criminals, and there were even more wanted criminals who couldn't be caught.

Shan Changhe was shocked and said in disbelief: "Pi Kefeng caught him."

The emperor nodded: "I feel very relieved, I feel very relieved. According to my decree, Pi Kefeng and his gang will be beheaded in Baihu County to serve as a warning to the world!"

As the chief of the Yulong Guards, Shan Changhe was very aware of several difficult prisoners in the department. Pike Feng was one of them. This man was very difficult to catch. The Yulong Guards planned several arrest plans.

In the end, he escaped.

Shan Changhe has always felt deeply regretful.

Today, this man was arrested in Baihu County.

At this moment, Shan Changhe also wanted to go to Baihu County to meet Li Xing for a while.

After everyone dispersed, the Yulong Guard, the Punishment Department, Dali Temple, and Yushitai all selected people to form a temporary investigation team and went to Baihu County to investigate the truth.

By this time, there was already a sensation in the capital.

Cui Jia and his party were divided into several groups, and some people mobilized the forces of teachers, students and classmates from their own families.

Some people contacted the Li family in Huailin, and some mobilized local literati.

Imperial College.

"Mr. Li is a model for intellectuals in the world. For a person like him, if he is arrested for no reason, there is still justice and the king's law."

The Huailin Li family has sent their children to Baihu County to launch a rescue plan against Li Shabai.

The literati in the north rushed to tell each other, but Li Xing was not removed, and justice was punished. Li Xing was not killed, but he was corrupt and perverting the law.

The literati of the Southern Jin Dynasty also exerted pressure on the Daqian Dynasty through diplomatic channels:

"We have a profound friendship with Mr. Li, and I hope you will thoroughly investigate this case and restore Mr. Li's innocence."

Li Xing arrested a random person, causing a nationwide sensation.

…

Currently, Li Xing knows nothing about all this. He is busy doing a big thing while staying in Baihu County:

Build a prison.

Li Xing has great aspirations for the future, and he cannot let prison restrict his development.

As a result, when Li Xing told Ma Qianli and Feng Tianlei about this idea, both of them were very dismissive.

"Sir, there is no need for it." Feng Tianlei said: "The prison is enough, there is no need to repair it."

"Well, prisoners also have human rights. What's more, our current cells are too few, and only ten or twenty people are full." Li Xing expressed deep regret for this.

"Money is needed to build a prison. Do you have money now?"

"Well……"

Li Xing hesitated for a moment and looked at Ma Qianli.

As an official of the imperial court, he was the only one who enjoyed the imperial salary. Ma Qianli, Feng Tianlei and others all needed Li Xing to pay their salaries.

Ma Qianli was silent for a moment and said: "Although we have seized some gold and silver recently, apart from our respective medical expenses, there is not much left."

Hearing this, Feng Tianlei blushed a little, and the medical expenses were mainly spent on him. As the only head catcher in Baihu County, he was the most seriously injured in the last arrest operation, which is a bit embarrassing.

"Sir, there is actually another way." Feng Tianlei said: "Conscription of civil service."

As the magistrate of Baihu County, Li Xing has the power to collect taxes. Civil service is also a type of tax, such as building city walls, digging rivers... all of which can be called upon.

But having this power is one thing, having this ability is another.

The people in Baihu County are fierce, and it may not be possible to collect normal taxes, let alone impose additional corvees.

Li Xing thought about it again and again, and suddenly said: "Don't we still have prisoners?"

Hearing this, Feng Tianlei and Ma Qianli looked at Li Xing together:

You just said that prisoners also have human rights.

…

Li Xing came to the prison again. It was humid and hot here, and there was a stench in the air.

Wang Fan, Zheng Dalong, Pi Kefeng and the others all had expressions of hopelessness.

Li Xing coughed and said, "Tell everyone some good news?"

Zheng Dalong's eyes lit up: "Is the imperial court amnesty for the whole world?"

"It's a beautiful thought."

Li Xingdao: "In view of the fact that your living environment is really bad, I see it in my eyes and am very anxious in my heart. After careful consideration, I decided to improve everyone's living conditions. Let's work together to clean and clean up the garbage."

"Um?"

The group of people all looked at Li Xing with the same look, wondering if the sun was rising from the west.

After a long while, Zheng Dalong raised a question: "We are already dying, why do we need to help you work?"

"Hey, this is a big mistake." Li Xing said.

"Sir, what is Da Miao?" Feng Tianlei asked.

"Da Miao is just not right."

"What's wrong?"

Li Xing coughed and said: "Think about it, if the conditions in the cell are improved, it won't be you who benefit in the end. Even if it's just a day of comfort, it's always good. Don't you want to go on the road cleanly?"

"Besides, this can be considered a good thing. If there really is an underworld, you can save a while when you put it in the frying pan."

Even Bahur, who had kept his eyes closed, opened his eyes and took a deep look at Li Xing.

You listen to what your people say.

However, Li Xing's words are not completely unreasonable. The environment in the dungeon is really terrible. It's humid, stuffy, and full of snakes, insects, rats, and ants. It would be good to clean it up a little... It would be good to go outside for some fresh air.

Under Li Xing's command, a group of prisoners began to work, cleaning out the stagnant water and rotten straw in the dungeon, and spreading lime to disinfect.

On this not-so-hot summer day, a group of people were very busy.

"Brother."

Two of Pi Ke Feng's younger brothers came up to him and grabbed a handful of lime powder in their hands.

Pi Kefeng nodded slightly, and the two younger brothers took the lime powder into their arms.

No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of kitchen knives.

What's more, Baihu County is seriously short of manpower. If everyone rushes in, they may not have a chance.

Zheng Dalong's eyes were darting around, looking for opportunities.

Wang Fan, who remained silent, quietly hid an iron nail in his arms.
