The other assistants, clerks and servants in Jingzhao Mansion rushed over when they heard the news. They stood up according to their grade and shifts, saluted Liang Qiuhe respectfully, and then stood quietly, waiting for him to speak.

This is considered a rule in the officialdom. After taking office, officials took the lead in giving a lecture. One is to introduce themselves, the other is to boost morale. If necessary, they can also establish a strong position.

Liang Qiuhe glanced at the people in front of him and said lightly: "No need to be polite. I am the official Liang Qiuhe, thanks to His Majesty's trust, and ordered me to temporarily act as the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture. I hope you can assist me with my heart to manage the affairs of the capital well and serve the emperor's kindness in the future."

"A subordinate (lower position) must do his best."

Everyone responded in unison.

Liang Qiuhe nodded slightly: "Take the list of each house, the silver warehouse, grain warehouse, and material warehouse account books, and check it out with me."

This is a necessary matter for a new official to take office, check the accounts and count the personnel.

First, find out if your ex is deficit, don’t leave any holes, and finally let yourself take the blame.

Second, I will also count the actual number of people in the yamen to see if anyone has received a salary, and by the way, I will have a general understanding of the situation of subordinates.

"yes."

The clerks from each room received the order and hurried out of the lobby and took the list and account books.

Liang Qiuhe continued: "Who is the Case Library?"

An official came out and bowed and said, "I am in a humble position."

Liang Qiuhe glanced at him: "I believe you have heard of Changlefang. Such a big case happened under the capital city. His Majesty Long Yan was furious and ordered the Demon Suppressing Office Li Zhengwei to thoroughly investigate the case.

This is Li Zhengwei. Today, he came to the government office with me to investigate the matter. He also took the missing case files that the government office had received in the past three years and asked Li Zhengwei to check it out."

This was discussed with Liang Qiuhe before Li Xiuran just came.

Captain Huang's heart suddenly jumped, and his eyes flashed.

"yes."

The clerk of the document warehouse received the order and quickly walked out of the lobby.

After a while, the clerks from each room returned to the lobby with the list and account books.

The clerk of the document warehouse also walked back quickly with a stack of files.

"Is this the only one?" Li Xiuran looked at the handed file, a thick stack, and looked quite a lot, but compared with the number of people abducted, it was obviously much worse.

The clerk said: "In the past three years, all the missing cases reported by the government office have been here."

The document warehouse is only responsible for storing and managing files, not handling cases, and cannot involve covering up Changlefang, so there is no need to conceal it.

Li Xiuran nodded slightly, took the file, took advantage of Liang Qiuhe's list and began to count the personnel on the spot, opened the file, and looked through it one by one.

After Liang Qiuhe finished counting the personnel and checking the accounts, Li Xiuran also read the file roughly.

"Can you see any problem?" Liang Qiuhe glanced at him: "It just so happens that everyone in the government office is here. Li Zhengwei has anything to ask, just ask directly."

Li Xiuran nodded and looked at everyone and said, "Who investigated these missing cases?"

A little uneasy flashed across the faces of the detectives, and they looked at Captain Huang at the same time.

The latter bit the bullet and left the line and bowed: "It is managed by the man who is led by the man."

Li Xiuran looked at him and said lightly: "Three years, there are 192 missing cases, why has Captain Huang not found out any of them?"

Captain Huang's heart was thrilled and said, "The person who reported the case basically did not provide any useful clues. Bei Zhi really had no idea how to start. After checking it, there was no progress. The government office had other cases to investigate, so it could only be put on hold for the time being."

"Yeah?"

Li Xiuran narrowed his eyes slightly, picked up the file and picked out two copies, and said lightly: "In October of the first year of Tianshu, Fan Yanfu, a citizen of the capital, came to report the case. His wife Wang went out to buy rouge and water, and disappeared from then on.

In January of the second year of Tianshu, Hong Chenggang, a citizen of the capital, came to report the case. His daughter, Hong Sanmei, had no news after leaving home. Before leaving home, she said she wanted to buy some rouge powder.

Both cases involve rouge powder, and one of the gangs that abducted people in Changlefang in the city was Yanzhizhai. Didn’t you even see such an obvious clue?”

Huang's face changed slightly, and his mind changed suddenly: "The two cases were separated by several months. I didn't remember that it was because of the negligence of the position. I asked the adults to punish me."

"Is it negligence or intentional cover-up, and I don't want to investigate?" Liang Qiuhe said in a deep voice: "Don't you still give honest explanation?"

Captain Huang denied: "My master knows that humble officials are really just a temporary negligence, and they are definitely not trying to cover up anyone!"

"Hmph! It seems that you won't be punished."

Liang Qiuhe snorted coldly and shouted: "Come on, take him down and hit fifty boards first."

Captain Huang's face changed drastically, and he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy: "Sir, please tell me, you really don't cover up Changlefang. It's really just a moment of negligence. Please tell me, please tell me!"

All the yamen runners showed hesitation and no one stepped forward.

Liang Qiuhe's face darkened: "What, is this official's words useless? Do you have to do it yourself?"

"Don't dare, don't dare."

The head of the Zaoban hurriedly stepped out and scolded his subordinates: "Why don't you hurry up and take down the Huang Captain as the adults told me."

Several soap officials hurried forward, and the two pressed down the Huang captain. They held water and fire sticks, stood on both sides one on the left and one on the right, swung the sticks and started beating.

"Bang!"

A dull sound followed by a scream: "Ah! Sir, please spare me, Bei Zhi really doesn't cover up Changlefang!"

Captain Huang begged for mercy.

Unfortunately, Liang Qiuhe was indifferent.

Li Xiuran looked at the two men who were hitting the board and sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Stop, stop hitting it now."

The two soap officials stopped with a confused look on their faces.

Captain Huang looked at him in surprise.

Liang Qiuhe looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Li Xiuran looked at the two side guards next to him: "You two will fight the remaining boards, use some strength."

After all, he was a captain, and he was very clear about the tricks in the yamen. If the soap official was willing, he could have different effects.

First, it will damage the skin but not the bones, and second, it will damage the bones but not the skin.

The two seemed to have used all their strength just now, and the yellow captain also screamed miserably, but every time the board fell, they would close the energy in the middle, allowing the board to fall freely. The posture was very strong, but the water was obviously released.

"yes."

Two side guards bowed their orders and walked towards the Zaoye.

Huang's head's face froze and his heart trembled suddenly. He knew that Li Xiuran saw the tricks of Zao Li, and that if he had his own people, he would have to take action.

Just as they were about to beg for mercy, the two side guards took the water and fire sticks, swung them up and hit him hard.

"Bang!"

A dull sound.

Huang Captain Huang's throat instantly let out a muffled groan, his eyes suddenly glared, and he did not scream like before, but a layer of fine beads of sweat instantly floated on his forehead, and the pain was obviously far more than before.
