Since he had decided to take Guo Zhiyuan down on the spot, Liu Guangxian naturally did not have to go privately. He changed into his official uniform and ordered his followers to show off their ceremonial guards. He rang the gongs all the way and went straight to Gutian County Government. When he walked outside Gutian County, he was stopped again. This time, Chen Huaili took action himself and knelt at the gate of Gutian gentry to stop him and complain.

When Liu Guang first looked at this situation, he was even more convinced that Guo Zhiyuan was not a good official. You should know that local officials attached great importance to the gentry's forces in this era. Local officials should take the initiative to visit the local prestigious gentry's mansion when taking office. If a local official was jointly sued by local gentry, the situation would be very serious. So Liu Guang immediately got off the car and took Chen Huaili and the others' joint letter paper. When he saw the charges listed on it, he became even more popular. Guo Zhiyuan was simply a slaughter! He dared to make a name for local gentry to make the justice of the peace to plunder money, wouldn't he use all the best to ordinary people!

Liu Guangxian waved his hand proudly and said loudly: "Are you all gentry and ask me, I will definitely uphold justice for you and others. I will go to Gutian County to dismiss Guo Zhiyuan on the spot and question him!..."

The gentry and landlords were secretly happy and surrounded Liu Guangxian and headed straight for the county government. Chen Huaili thought that Guo Zhiyuan was about to be in trouble, so he really wanted to laugh three times to the sky, but he couldn't show it in front of Liu Guangxian. He endured it very hard.

Liu Guangxian took the lead in strode into the county government office with great might. When he thought that Guo Zhiyuan would be so scared that he would kneel down to the ground in fear when he saw him. There were too many such scenes after he served as the inspector, but when he walked into the lobby, he saw a scene that stunned him.

I saw a white silk hanging on the lobby of the county government. A young man in an official robe was about to hang himself, but a bunch of people next to him followed and persuaded him. However, the young man cried in tears and said, "Don't pull me, let me die, I'm going to die. I'm not enough to split me in half! If I had known that I wouldn't be such a bullshit county magistrate. It's really not human beings!"

Liu Guang didn't need to guess yet, and knew that the young man must be Guo Zhiyuan. He immediately shouted angrily: "What kind of decent!" Guo Zhiyuan naturally guessed that the person coming was Liu Guangxian, but deliberately pretended to be confused: "Hey, who are you?!"

Liu Guangxian said angrily, "I am the inspector censor Liu Guangxian, Guo Zhiyuan, are you guilty?!" Before he finished speaking, Guo Zhiyuan ran over ecstatically, grabbed his hand, and laughed: "Inspector Censor? Then you should be my Shangguan. Lord Liu came just right, and the subordinate encountered several difficult problems. Please help me solve them!" As he said that, he turned around and shouted to the crowd behind him: "Xie Erhu, aren't you going to severance payment? I really can't take it out. Now the Shangguan of my official is here, you ask him for money!..."

Xie Erhu and others in the crowd looked at Guo Zhiyuan's vivid appearance and were secretly funny. They hurriedly ran over according to Guo Zhiyuan's instructions before, knelt in front of Liu Guangxian and hugged Liu Guangxian's thighs, and cried with tears in their mouths: "Please make the decision for us. Lord Guo recruited us as a group training soldier to fight the bandits. Now that the bandits have finished fighting, they say they want to sever us, but they can't get the severance fee. Isn't this killing the donkey?..."

Liu Guangxian was confused by Xie Erhu and others all at once. After careful consideration, it was not right. The imperial edict said that the magistrates of several nearby counties in Gutian jointly impeached Guo Zhiyuan for trouble, causing the bandits to be rampant, but why did all the bandits be beaten all at once? Recalling carefully, he was indeed peaceful all the way he came, and there was a steady stream of merchants in the past, and it was indeed not like the bandits were rampant.

If Guo Zhiyuan argued by himself, no matter what he said, Liu Guangxian would only think that Guo Zhiyuan was making a quibble. However, after Xie Erhu and the others made such a fuss, Liu Guangxian himself found that the matter seemed to be a little different from what he thought. He had heard of the rampant bandits in Gutian before. Guo Zhiyuan was able to eliminate bandits in such a short time, which shows that Guo Zhiyuan was not useless like the rumor, and he was still capable. Liu Guang couldn't help but hesitate.

Chen Huaili, who was following Liu Guangxian, saw that the momentum was wrong, and hurried forward and said, "Mr. Liu, they are colluding to fool you. Don't believe it. Guo Zhiyuan is very rich. He opens a cigarette workshop and a ready-to-wear workshop. He also charges tolls every day. How could he be short of money!..."

Liu Guangxian said it was right when he heard this. Guo Zhiyuan set up a card and charged to exploit passers-by. He could not make it fake! He immediately said furiously: "Guo Zhiyuan, you are so brave, you dare to fool and deceive me!"

Guo Zhiyuan immediately called the Tiantian Qulu: "Sir, this toll is not something the officials want to collect! When I saw that the official road of Gutian was dilapidated and difficult to move, I asked the prefect to allocate funds to repair the official road. The prefect asked the prefect to raise funds for the self-financing. The prefect had to find a few gentry to pay the money to repair the official road first, but the county government could not take out the money and grain to pay them back, so I had to acquiesce them to collect the toll from the passers-by. The prefect also felt that it was a bit inappropriate and was ready to cancel the card setting fee, but these gentry did not obey!..."

At this time, Sun Chuan and several gentry involved in the road construction business also walked out of the crowd and bowed to Liu Guangxian: "Sir, we thought that building roads was a great thing to benefit Gutian, and that the people of Gutian could earn some wages to subsidize their household income during the slack farm. Before we agreed, we invested a lot of money and grain to build the road, but the capital has not been recovered yet. However, Mr. Guo said that we would cancel the charges. Isn't this a waste of money? Besides, the passers-by also paid the toll voluntarily. The road has been repaired. In the past, it took at least a few days to go from Gutian to Fuzhou. Now it only takes more than one day. Why not do it? If we want to cancel the charges, just return the money and grain we invested in the road construction to us!..."

Liu Guangxian was stunned when he heard this. Yes, he really felt that the Gutian official road was much easier to walk along the way than the other official roads. It was very flat and not bumpy. If the passers-by were reluctant to pay the fee, he would have been in trouble. When he passed the checkpoint, he did not see any disputes between the passers-by and the paid checkpoint personnel. It seems that this matter was really a misunderstanding of Guo Zhiyuan.

However, Liu Guang was unable to stop admitting that he was wrong, and coughed awkwardly, saying, "I will talk about these two things later. Guo Zhiyuan, I asked you why you had to revise the fish scale book privately, causing the people to linger and make the people live in poverty. This fish scale book was compiled by the court. How could you revise it if you said you would revise it?!..."
