Li Er's words were filled with anger and he was unable to suppress it. However, Qin Feng didn't care at all. Instead, he raised his eyebrows and looked at him.
"Why is Old Master Li so angry? Could it be that he was also disappointed in the court like me?”
？？？
Countless question marks appeared on Li Er's head. The corners of his mouth twitched as he looked at Qin Feng. He felt that his patience had reached its limit.
This rascal was pointing at his nose and scolding him?!!
"Sigh…since we're both of the same kind, then I'll just tell you. I believe Old Master Li will keep this little brat's secret.”
Qin Feng continued to talk to himself.
"Take the case of the cattle for example. I heard from a villager that the cattle were missing near Chang 'an.”
"This matter should indeed be investigated properly to find the murderer and punish him severely.”
"But what did the government do? Instead of carefully investigating the perpetrator, they searched the villages near Chang 'an.”
"Could it be that the government doesn't know that this is a waste of money and manpower? If the government enters the village to search for him, does Old Master Li know what the result will be?”
"What was the result?"
Li Er calmed down when he heard this and listened very seriously.
"The crops were destroyed, and the villagers suffered heavy losses. They might even be framed and taken away by force!”
"Old Master Li, do you know why the government is doing this?”
Qin Feng slammed the table. Li Er's expression changed as he stared at the former.
"Now that the cattle are missing, the government wants to close the case as soon as possible. If they can't find the murderer, there's only one way to do it, and that is to confiscate the cattle of the people!”
"To end this case, we can have both sides, but the people will suffer. This is the root cause of the yamen's large-scale search.”
"Impudent!"
Li Er angrily slammed the table and stood up. He looked at Qin Feng and said angrily,
"How can there be such a thing under the bright sky? How dare you oppress the people like this?!!”
"Hehe, Old Master Li is a businessman. I'm afraid he doesn't know how many people have been wronged.”
Qin Feng spoke with a deep meaning.
"There are quite a few cases of forcing a confession out of torture.”
"Kaoshan Village is located west of Lanshan County. The yamen has been searching for them, so they must have gone through quite a few villages.”
"Why don't Old Master Li and I go for a walk and see if the yamen has found many cattle?”
Qin Feng guessed that the people from the yamen had found the cattle, but he was 99% sure!
Why?
This was because there had been villagers in Reliance Village who had been wrongly accused because of a hundred catties of rice.
Moreover, this was not the first time. The yamen would not return empty-handed. They would do everything they could to make people confess.
When Qin Feng heard about the villagers 'encounter, he remembered it and specially investigated it.
Later on, he understood the source. Everything originated from Li Er's Universal Token!
This guy's original intention was to urge the officials to work hard to solve the cases of the common people. He specially pushed this order, hoping that the world would be peaceful and there would be no more injustice.
In the law, there was a time limit for all kinds of cases to be completed. If the target was not met, it would be considered that the official had not done his job well and would be severely punished!
In the beginning, Li Er tried to implement it, and after half a year, the backlogs of cases in various places were solved, and the reputation was excellent.
Li Er was immediately overjoyed. He made this the official law of the Tang Dynasty, but he did not know that he had buried a disaster.
In his previous life, Qin Feng had read from some unofficial history books that Li Er had mobilized a major reform of the officials during the Zhenguan period.
In that battle, many officials were beheaded. Qin Feng felt that these were all fabricated by the people to blacken Li Er.
However, ever since he transmigrated, he felt that this might really be the case.
Ever since the Heaven and Earth Token, the county government's style had become quite corrupt. This time, when the cattle were stolen, their first priority was definitely to find the cattle and report to them, not to find the murderer!
If innocent people were involved, Qin Feng would feel bad. After all, a cow was the foundation of several farmers.
Moreover, if they investigated further, they would only be able to identify Cheng Chumo and the other idiots. They could just return the stolen cow. Anyway, the Cheng family could afford it.
From the very beginning, Qin Feng only wanted to trick the three Cheng brothers. Who asked these fellows to be so bold and involve themselves in so many things?
Since that was the case, he could only take the risk to remind Li Er.
"Ta Ta Ta…"
At this moment, Cheng Yaojin walked back with big strides and said with a smile,"
"Old Master, those yamen people are gone…Old Master, what's wrong?”
Cheng Yaojin saw Li Er's gloomy face and could not help but scratch his head and ask. The latter said in a deep voice,
"Just now, did anyone in the yamen have cattle?”
" Oh, there are more than a dozen of them. I asked around and they said that the cattle had escaped to the villages and are now being captured one by one…"
"Bang!"
Li Er slammed the table angrily. His eyes were as dark as water, and his anger was almost spurting out.
The cattle fled to the villages? This was the conclusion that the county government came up with? Could it be that a cow would run away from home?
Qin Feng guessed the result with just a guess. What did this mean?
This meant that he was used to this kind of thing!!
"Master, what's wrong…"
Cheng Yaojin did not understand. Fang Xuanling had been listening by the side. At this moment, his heart sank. He stood up and said,
"Old Master, I remembered that I still have some important matters to deal with at home. I'll go home with Old Cheng to do it now, okay?”
This guy obviously knew what to do and found an excuse to leave.
"Yes, hurry up and do it without delay.”
After getting Li Er's approval, Fang Xuanling cupped his hands at Qin Feng and hurriedly dragged Cheng Yaojin away.
"Phew…"
Li Er sat down again. At this moment, his expression was solemn. He actually took the initiative to pour tea for Qin Feng and asked politely,
"Young Master Qin is observant and has extraordinary knowledge, but what does this have to do with a high position in the court? Shouldn't it be the local officials who did not do their job well?!”
This fellow was still a little unconvinced. He felt that he had been tricked by the officials from all over the world.
"Old Master Li, do you know why the local officials are behaving like this?”
"Please explain."
"Universe Token!"
When Qin Feng said this, he was incomparably solemn. He enunciated each word clearly,
"I don't know who came up with this decree. It's a good idea to urge the officials to work hard in handling the case.”
"But…"
"Have you considered the ability of the local officials to carry out this order?”
"Have you considered whether the local officials will conceal the truth and pass it off as the real thing?!”
"Have you considered if the person who monitors can be the eyes of a saint and see the suffering in the hearts of the people?!”
"No!"
"That high-ranking official might have considered it, but he wasn't careful. He was blinded by his appearance and was even complacent.”
"Today, I said that that person is like a block of wood, rotten and unable to be carved. Does Old Master Li agree?!!”
As he finished speaking, Qin Feng was unable to contain his anger and slammed the table again!
With a bang, Li Er, who was stunned by what he heard, jumped up from his stool.
The two of them stared at each other.
The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
