120. The farce of the county government(1/2)
Jiang Zhen was in a bad mood when he left Hexi Village.
Although he traveled through the ancient times, he had never had much recognition of the world. Now, he felt even more powerless.
His people were everywhere on the docks of Hexi Village. Those people looked at him worriedly, but they did not dare to approach him who was surrounded by yamen runners because they were afraid of the government.
In modern times, although 100% fairness is not achieved, it can at least be called equal to everyone, but what about here?
This is a place where imperial power is supreme, and the government has very, very powerful power.
The Jiang family was all good, and they were not able to live their lives now. He had never done anything to the Jiang family. Under such circumstances, the Jiang family could sue him, and the imperial envoy mentioned by Zheng Yi could actually capture him.
A long time ago, Jiang Zhen actually had some concerns, worried that his life would not be guaranteed in this place. When Zhao Jinge just discovered that he was pregnant, he was also worried about the future of his child and worried that his child might encounter injustice in the future.
And now, he himself encountered unfairness.
Jiang Zhen's face was as deep as water, and he followed the yamen runners on their boat, and then asked, "Where am I going?"
Jiang Zhen was just a civilian. Not only was he not afraid when he saw them, he looked like an old man? One of the yamen runners was dissatisfied and reached out to push Jiang Zhen: "Be honest with me... Ouch!"
His hand was caught by Jiang Zhen.
"What do you want to do?" All the yamen runners around looked at Jiang Zhen with alert. Jiang Zhen looked at Zhou Maohe who was following him: "Mr. Zhou, before you even arrived at the yamen, do you want someone to lynch his body?"
"Nonsense!" Zhou Maohe said angrily. He didn't like being wronged by others. He said immediately: "Let go of this person, and after the interrogation, see what else he can say!"
The yamen runners let Jiang Zhen go in disappointment. Jiang Zhen ignored them and went straight into a room next to him.
This time, it’s not big or small.
However, Lord Zhou obviously wanted to make a big deal. Even when he spoke, he involved the county magistrate of He Cheng County. This time he probably had the intention of coming for the Zheng family.
I don’t know if it was the Zheng family who implicated him or if he became a breakthrough for the Zheng family.
Jiang Zhen heard Zheng Yi mention this Lord Zhou. At that time, Zheng Yi obviously didn't take this Lord Zhou seriously, so he must have made some preparations, but he didn't know why Lord Zhou suddenly appeared in Hexi Village before this.
Jiang Zhen was confused, but he did not go into it. He soon began to think about his current situation and began to think about what he should do and what he could do.
Then, he found...
Now...he can't do anything.
He actually had the ability to escape from this ship, but now he is no longer alone. He has Zhao Jin Ge Zhao Mingzhu, and Zhao Liu Family Zhao Fugui...
Once he ran away, what should these people do?
If you can keep it...
Jiang Zhen clenched his fists tightly, unable to control his emotions, and at the same time, he suddenly thought of many things in history.
After returning to Hexi Village from Beijing, he wanted to live a good life, start an escort agency and make some money, have some small power, and then live his peaceful life in Hexi Village...
But, is there really a peaceful day in this world?
It was Zheng Yi's uncle, the second-rank official of the dynasty. Maybe he would be confiscated and dismissed from office when he made a mistake, let alone a small character like him.
Now, to others, he may be like an ant, and he can be crushed to death at will.
He is not capable of becoming an official, so his business can grow bigger, but so what if he grows bigger? Maybe he will be killed by others as a fattening chicken!
Is such a thing rare in this world? Throughout history, are there still fewer people who have been killed for no reason?
Maybe he can avoid all this, but what about his pearl?
Where are his children?
If it were in modern times, he could say generously that children and grandchildren have their own blessings, because there would always be peace for life without encountering events with extremely low probability, but who can guarantee it here?
Jiang Zhen's heart, which had been slowly settled down because of his biological child, suddenly became moved.
Closed his eyes, Jiang Zhen slowly calmed himself down.
Not only Jiang Zhen was taken away by Zhou Mao and Hexi Village, but also Old Man Jiang and Mrs. Jiang, and Jiang Chengcai Jiang Chengxiang.
As for Zhu Shufen and Huang Min, they stayed at home to take care of their children.
The Jiang family also has a separate cabin to stay. Looking at everything around, Old Mrs. Jiang was so surprised.
She touched the decorations in the room and wanted to take them away in her arms...
"Mom, don't move around, it will be bad if it is broken." Jiang Chengxiang reminded.
"Okay, I won't move." Old Mrs. Jiang stopped moving and asked again: "Cheng Xiang, this time... can we succeed?"
"Mom, it will definitely succeed. This imperial envoy is here to help us!" Jiang Chengxiang said. He had also seen the Da Qilu, and Jiang Zhen was definitely illegal!
"That's good, that's good." Old Mrs. Jiang smiled.
The Jiang family was very proud. At this moment, Zheng Yi was staying in Zheng's mansion, but he was full of anxiety.
The Jiang family was all good, but Jiang Zhen did not attack the Jiang family. In addition, Jiang Zhen had already married into the Zhao family, so he never took the Jiang family to heart. Now it seems... if he had known this, he would have given the family far away!
Brother Zhao Jin had already told Zheng Yi about his previous situation and what he had done, and then asked: "Mr. Zheng, what should we do now?"
"You did a good job, let's do it like this..." Zheng Yi and Zhao Jin Ge discussed, and after they said a few words, someone came to report that Zhou Maohe's ship was docking on the dock. He brought many people and had already headed towards the county government.
"Let's go and have a look." Zheng Yi said, taking Brother Zhao Jin out, and as soon as they left the house, they met Feng Jingyuan.
"Young Master Zheng, I heard something happened?" Feng Jingyuan looked at Zheng Yi worriedly.
Zheng Yi had no time to talk to him, and at this time he was already walking outside quickly.
Seeing this, Feng Jingyuan hurriedly followed.
For the people at this time, the imperial envoy was a legendary figure.
Zhou Maohe did not hide his identity this time, and even brought many people in a mighty way. Finally, he was recognized at the dock in Hecheng County.
Originally, people did not dare to approach Zhou Maohe and his group. Even if they knew that the imperial envoy was coming, they would only dare to watch from a distance. In the end, they were afraid that they would not know what Zhou Maohe was here to do.
Then, this time Zhou Mao and his side brought a lot of people.
In addition to the yamen runners, there were also many scholars who highly praised Zhou Maohe. A great scholar from Hexing Mansion, who was close to Zhou Maohe, even asked his disciples to come with Zhou Maohe and borrowed more than 20 servants from his family.
These scholars think they are here to do a big thing, so they are naturally very excited at this moment. They want to know what they are here to do, but in the end, they explain it to the people around them.
So, when Zheng Yi and others arrived, Zhou Mao and his group were surrounded by more and more people, and everyone was still talking about it.
"I heard that the imperial envoy is here to capture the head of the Jin Zhen escort agency."
"Yes, I heard that Jiang Zhen was disobedient and unfilial, and even beat his parents!"
"The people from Jin Zhen's escort agency are pretty good. I didn't expect that their head is such a person."
"Luckily I didn't go to the Jinzhen Escort Agency to do business."
...
When Brother Zhao Jin heard these words, he became more anxious, and Zheng Yi frowned.
Jiang Zhen has indeed done many things.
Now Zhou Maohe has already incited the people in this way, and one of them cannot be handled well...
"A person who is unfilial should cut his head!" an old man said with a stare with a beard blowing.
"I didn't expect Jiang Zhen to be such a person. Fortunately, the imperial envoy was very careful."
"It's not just Jiang Zhen, but also the county magistrate... I heard that Jiang Zhen's mother wanted to sue, but she had no way to sue, so the county magistrate drove the person out directly!"
"Isn't this normal? There is no good thing in the yamen."
...
Zheng Yi's face darkened.
"Mr. Zheng, this matter cannot be handled well, but it will cause trouble for Mr. Zheng. Zheng would better make a quick decision." Feng Jingyuan advised Zheng Yi.
"What a quick decision?" Zheng Yi looked at Feng Jingyuan.
"The hero cut off his arm." Feng Jingyuan said. He felt that Zheng Yi should immediately give up Jiang Zhen at this time and prevent Jiang Zhen from letting him be involved.
When Feng Jingyuan was just speaking, Zhao Jinge didn't understand, but he knew the meaning of "a hero cut off his arm". With a shock, he understood Feng Jingyuan's implication.
Without thinking, Brother Zhao Jin stretched out his fist towards Feng Jingyuan and punched Feng Jingyuan in the nose.
Brother Zhao has always had a good temper, but now, Jiang Zhen has been arrested!
He was full of anxiety. At this moment, someone persuaded Zheng Yi to cut off his arm... Brother Zhao Jin punched him but didn't give up, then grabbed Feng Jingyuan's clothes and threw him to the ground.
Feng Jingyuan's fat body was just thrown to the ground, but he was not angry, and sighed and said, "Brother Zhao Jin, this is really the best way. Don't worry, Young Master Zheng will definitely protect you."
When Feng Jingyuan spoke like this, he secretly glanced at Zheng Yi. He felt that what he had made was definitely a good idea for Zheng Yi. Without Jiang Zhen, wouldn’t the Jin Zhen Escort Agency and Qingfeng Tower all become Zheng Yi’s?
Zheng Yi had a calm face and didn't say anything, but Brother Zhao Jin kicked Feng Jingyuan again at this time.
"Brother Zhao Jin, let's go ahead and take a look." Zheng Yi said to Brother Zhao Jin.
Zheng Yi said this, obviously he was unhappy to give up Jiang Zhen, and Feng Jingyuan couldn't help but frown.
He had offended Jiang Zhen a long time ago and wanted to take this opportunity to suppress Jiang Zhen, but he didn't expect it to fail.
However, Jiang Zhen will have to lose half his life even if he doesn't die.
Feng Jingyuan rubbed the place where he was kicked by Brother Zhao Jin, got up from the ground, followed him like nothing happened. At this time, a servant from the Zheng family ran from a distance with joy on his face: "Young Master Zheng, Young Master Zheng..."
