Thirty, feel at ease

The Wei of Shangrao County was named Yu. He learned that the county magistrate was beaten and the constable who went to arrest him was broken again. He was so indignant that he ordered fifty horses overnight. The archer rushed to Yongfeng Town and found out that the salt merchant named Zhou lived in the "Wynn Inn". He sent someone to block the front and back doors of the inn to prevent the thieves from escaping. He was about to break the door and catch the thieves, but he heard the noise in the inn and looked inside through the crack of the door. Wow, the yard is full of soldiers. Where are the soldiers? Could it be that they are going to rebel?

The inn gate opened, General Qi and Judge Fan walked out side by side, and General Qi shouted: "What are you going to do?" A piece of talisman was revealed: "Does anyone recognize this talisman?"

When the county magistrate Yu stepped forward, he was shocked. This was the trumpet of the fifth-rank General Guidelang. Why is there a general living in this inn? He quickly bowed and said, "Yu Chang, the county magistrate of Shangrao, dare you ask which army he is? What kind of official positions are there when passing through our county? Why didn't Beizhi receive the official letter?"

General Qi said: "I am the general of Fenghua Army. This is Mr. Fan, the judge of Fenghua Protectorate. What is the reason why you lead troops around my inn late at night?"

Yu County Wei Lianlian bowed: "I came to arrest a Jinling salt merchant. I never wanted to offend the two adults. Please forgive me!"

Judge Fan said: "Have the Huang governor of your residence not arrived yet?"

County Magistrate Yu said in surprise: "Is Lord Huang coming here? I don't know."

Judge Fan said, "You are waiting outside the door, and Lord Huang will arrive later." He and General Qi returned to the inn, and the door closed with a "slam".

County Magistrate Yu quickly ordered the horse and the archer lined up and waited in front of the inn for half an hour. When he saw a few torches coming from afar, he was indeed the governor Huang.

Governor Huang rushed over with several state officials, but saw so many soldiers and horses in front of the "Wynn Inn" and the person who came to meet was Yu County Wei of Shangrao County, and asked, "What are Lord Yu doing here?"

The Yu County Magistrate said, "Mr. Huang, the lower lord is here to wait for the Lord. Judge Fan of Fenghua Army and General Gui Delang are waiting for the Lord to arrive in the inn."

Governor Huang asked in confusion: "Judge Fan of Fenghua Army?" Then he suddenly realized that Zhou Xuan, the Marquis of Xinzhou, had a close relationship with the Fenghua Army, and it was normal for Zhou Xuan to come to Xinzhou to accompany him. He immediately went to knock on the door and said loudly: "Huang Yuan, the governor of Xinzhou, asked to see Grand Secretary Zhou."

County Magistrate Yu was confused behind the scenes. He wasn’t he judge Fan of Fenghua Army? Why is he the Grand Secretary Zhou again? Which Grand Secretary Zhou?

At the opening of the inn gate, Judge Fan greeted him and bowed, "Mr. Huang, the lower official Fan Yong has been waiting for a long time."

Governor Huang recognized Judge Fan and quickly returned the ceremony: "It turns out that Lord Fan is here, and the officials are really rude and know nothing. Lord Fan, can Mr. Zhou be there?"

Judge Fan nodded and said, "The Marquis summoned Lord Huang to discuss matters, Lord Huang asked--"

Governor Huang followed Judge Fan in, and the rest were waiting outside the inn gate.

Zhou Xuan met with Governor Huang in the guest room, and there were Li Tao's nephew and uncle and Sanchi around him. After meeting Governor Huang, he took the emperor's secret order to show it to Governor Huang.

When inspecting the six states, they have the right to act cheaply. What does it mean to act cheaply? They can be executed first and then report! Huang Gongshi was alert and bowed and said, "The emperor is driven by the emperor."

Zhou Xuan then said to Judge Fan: "Mr. Fan, please briefly describe what I have encountered since I entered Xinzhou."

Judge Fan went from having met a constable on Boshan Road yesterday to searching for a car to the Xie family casino today and was talking about the incident of robber Brown Sugar trying to murder the Hou of Xinzhou. Governor Huang sweated more and more on his forehead. Finally, he knelt down and apologized: "The officials are incompetent and have no way to govern the prefecture. Please punish the emperor."

Zhou Xuan learned from Li Tao’s uncle and the inn by Mr. Song that the governor Huang was not showing his evil deeds, but was just incompetent, and could not restrain the Zou County Magistrate and the Yongfeng Xie family to do evil, so he said, "Mr. Huang, please get up--"

Then, Grand Secretary Zhou said in the emotional tone of Zhuge Liang's "Memorial of the Emperor": "Mr. Huang, my ancestral home is Yongfeng, Xinzhou. I love this land very deeply. I visit it in my hometown thousands of miles away. But what I saw and heard in my hometown made me sad. What life did my fellow villagers live? They were bullied and humiliated by bullies, occupied by fertile land, and forced to become hired farmers. Some left their hometowns and made other living. Many people sold their children and daughters. Lord Huang was a Mingfu in Xinzhou. Didn't he hear about these things? He just wanted to see the people being hungry and cold and displaced?"

The governor Huang sweated like a slurry and said repeatedly: "The lower official is guilty, and the lower official is guilty!"

Zhou Xuan said: "Mr. Huang was also deceived by villains, so the government orders were not implemented. Now I am here to try my best to get rid of this stubborn disease for Yongfeng. Will Master Huang help me?"

Governor Huang quickly said, "I hope to attach the master to the end of the horse and make the punishment."

Zhou Xuan said: "Okay, there are fifty horses and archers from Shangrao County outside the inn. Lord Huang immediately took them to capture Xie Laoliu."

The governor Huang looked embarrassed and hesitated a little, so he heard Zhou Xuan say coldly: "Master Huang is in a dilemma? Then don't bother Lord Huang, I'll send someone else."

Huang was shocked. He knew what Zhou Xuan meant, that was to remove him from his post. The six states had this power, and Zhou Xuan was a popular person in the court. He could not tell which one was more important. He immediately bowed and said, "Give up the person immediately." He turned around and was about to go out.

Zhou Xuan said: "Let's go - Lord Huang, it's a question whether the horse from Shangrao County can be used. One of them secretly ran away from the Xie family to report the news. How can you arrest someone?"

Governor Huang looked ashamed. Zhou Xuan was telling the truth. The Shangrao County Government had a close relationship with the Xie family. It was a pity that he, a governor who was in charge of one state and three counties, could not call the county magistrate. He said ashamed: "Then the officials immediately transfer troops from the state?"

Zhou Xuan said: "No need, is it necessary to mobilize a group of troops to capture a Xie Laoliu? I will let General Qi, the general of Guidelang of Fenghua, go with you, and there are fifty soldiers in the palace to listen to it."

According to Zhou Xuan's intention, General Qi and Huang led fifty soldiers from Fenghua Mansion, as well as the timid bandit and Niu Mansion. Niu Mansion has woken up, and Zhou Xuan promised to spare him and not die. He would take him to trick Xie Laoliu into opening the door. If he forced himself to break through, Xie's manor had a garden protection river and a suspension bridge, which would be very troublesome.

When the governor Huang went out, he ordered his subordinates to restrain the county magistrate Yu and his men from taking off their horses and archers, and were not allowed to leave this step. Then he led his troops out of the town overnight with General Qi.

County Magistrate Yu didn't know what happened, so he had to stand outside the "Wynn Inn" overnight.

Zhou Xuan didn't go to bed in the middle of the night. At dawn, General Qi Hongliang shouted: "Marty, the man has been captured, Xie Laoliu and Xie Laoba."

Zhou Xuan got up quickly. Xiao Xun had already prepared the toiletries. While combing Zhou Xuan's hair quickly, he took out a Xuan mirror for Zhou Xuan to take a look. Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "It's very combing." When he went out to the front yard of the inn, he saw Xie Laoliu tied up and kneeling under the grapefruit tree in the yard. There was a younger one next to him, with a very similar appearance to Xie Laoliu, and he should be Xie Laoba.

Xie Laoliu was still stalking his neck and shouting: "Mr. Huang, my Xie family is a prominent family in Shangrao and has always benefited his hometown. Why did Lord Huang send troops to arrest my brothers late at night? What law did we violate?"

Zhou Xuan walked to the yard and said with a smile: "Mr. Xie, we are meeting again."

Xie Laoliu was stunned when he saw Zhou Xuan. Yesterday, after Zhou Xuan and his friends left, Xie Laoliu was waiting for the arrival of brown sugar in the manor. In the second half of the night, he heard from the shopkeeper that Manager Niu had come with the manor of brown sugar. He put down Kuoban Bridge and opened the village gate. Fifty soldiers from Fenghua Palace rushed in and caught Xie Laoliu and also caught Xie Laoba.

Xie Laoliu didn't understand what was going on. When he asked on the way, the soldiers of Fenghua Palace punched and kicked him, which made him dare not speak. In the dark, he didn't see clearly that the person who led the army was Huang. He didn't see it until dawn. He asked loudly. When he saw Zhou Xuan, he realized that this matter was related to Zhou Xuan and said angrily: "Mr. Huang, you are protecting a salt merchant. How much money did this salt merchant give you? Does Xie send you less money every year?"

Huang's skin was swollen and he drank his life: "Put the mouth."

Two Fenghua soldiers looked at General Qi, and General Qi nodded, and then they slapped Xie Laoliu in the face with a "crackling" sound.

Governor Huang said angrily: "Damn the bad guy, you dare to talk nonsense. This is the Grand Secretary of Jixian Palace, Marquis Zhou. How dare you marry a robber, Brown Candy, to murder Marquis Zhou. Your Xie family has been fish and meat for a long time. This time, you should be full of evil deeds!"

Xie Laoliu was so shocked that he forgot the pain. He looked at Zhou Xuan with his eyes wide open and could not speak.

Zhou Xuan said lightly: "Mr. Xie, your casino is bad enough. If you win the money, you can send someone to grab it back. If you win too much, you will have to make money and kill you. You can do this without capital transactions easily."

Old man Xie's cheeks were swollen, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding. He smiled and said, "It turns out that it was Marquis of Xinzhou, Marquis of Marquis Zhou. It's a misunderstanding. How dare Xiaomin offend Marquis Zhou! It's all misunderstandings."

Zhou Xuan turned to Governor Huang, and General Qi and others said, "Immediately transfer Xie Laoliu, Brown Tang and others to the government office. I want to uproot the evil forces of Shangrao."

The owner of the "Yongfeng Inn" did not sleep all night and made pastry, so he asked Zhou Xuan and others to have a full meal. Before leaving, he asked the Marquis Zhou to write the five big words "Serve the People", smiled mockingly, circled the five words, and asked the owner to take another paper and write four big words - "Safe in peace."

At the beginning of Chen Shi, Zhou Xuan and his party left Yongfeng, and Li Tao accompanied him, and Zhou Xuan was determined to promote him.

When Yu County Magistrate arrested the Xie brothers, his hands and feet were so scared that the fifty horses, the archers were all frightened and uneasy. They didn't eat breakfast and followed the Fenghua Prefecture soldiers on hungry days.

At the beginning of Chen Shi, a large group of people entered Shangrao County and went directly to the governor's yamen. Huang ordered Yu County Magistrate and his subordinates to leave without permission. He sent another military commander in the state to order a hundred troops. Huang and General Qi divided the troops into two groups to arrest the Zou County Magistrate and the Xie Family Boyichang to arrest the rest of the Xie family tigers.

Superintendent Huang knew in his heart that since the Xie family had moved, the Zou family would definitely not be able to escape. Now, only by loyally working for Zhou Xuan can he escape the earth-shaking disaster in the Xinzhou officialdom.

Zhou Xuan sat in the hall of the Criminal Prison and the Constitutional Department of the Governor's Yamen. The governor of Xinzhou was accompanied by the judicial officials and the governors respectfully. Judge Fan, Li Tao, Sanchi and others were all there. Fairy Jingyi, Lin Hanyun and others were arranged to rest in the inner court of the governor's office. The manager of the governor's office received the order of Huang to let the governor's wife entertain the subordinates of these Zhou marquis.

Mrs. Huang naturally thought that the wife of Marquis Zhou was coming, but she didn't know which one was Marquis. The woman's crown was definitely not. Another one was a little girl, and the other two were very beautiful, one was ten, seven or eight years old, but she was dressed as a concubine, and the other was gorgeous and noble, but she looked only fifteen or sixteen years old, so she didn't look like Marquis Marquis. She only had a woman in her early twenties, so she said to the woman: "I am Zhao, paying homage to Marquis Zhou."

Lin Ning quickly flashed aside, and Lin Hanyun smiled and said, "There is no Mrs. Zhou here. Mrs. Zhou is still in Jiangzhou. This is the third sister-in-law. I am the sister of Marquis Zhou. This is the sister of Marquis Zhou. This is the personal maid of Marquis Zhou. This is the personal maid of Marquis Zhou. This is——”

Lin Hanyun looked at Xiahou Liusu and said reluctantly: "She is the concubine of Marquis Zhou."

Mrs. Huang naturally received warmly.

Zhou Xuanjing in the hall of the Criminal and Constitutional Department was waiting for the criminal to be arrested. After waiting for about a short time, Huang led the men back first and arrested the magistrate of Zou County, together with the county government's magistrate, the magistrate of the county government, and the captain. He tied up the county magistrate Yu on the spot. Fifty horses and archers from the county archers were all taken away and were on standby.

After a while, General Qi and the Xinzhou Military Master Cao escorted a group of people, and captured the second, third, fourth, fifth, seventh, and tenth of Xie's tenth tigers, just escaped from the ninth, and several managers of Xie's casino.

The Xie brothers and his group of people were still very arrogant and shouted: "My elder brother is an official in Beijing. If you want to touch my Xie family, you have to think twice."

Zhou Xuan said coldly: "Your elder brother is Xie Yuanhao, right? I remember it. I will dismiss him from his post when he returns to Beijing."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eight tigers of Xie were silent.

All the people who should be arrested were temporarily arrested, and then the cumbersome trial began. Zhou Xuan knew that the trial was not three days and it would be endless in two days. Moreover, he was not in good condition about the trial. He immediately entrusted Judge Fan to let Judge Fan join the Governor Huang, the judicial chief of Xinzhou, and Li Tao to thoroughly investigate all kinds of illegal matters of Zou County Magistrate and the Xie family's Shihu colluded with the robber Brown Sugar. He brought Sanqi and Fu himself to ask the Governor's Office to invite Fairy Jingyi and the others out.

Fairy Jingyi came out and asked, "Brother Xuan, is the matter handled properly?"

Zhou Xuan said: "It's still under trial. If I have to be tried for a while, I'm not good at trial, so I let Lord Fan go and handle it. Sister Daoyun, how about we go to Lu Yuquan today? If we don't go to Lu Yuquan in Xinzhou, it's like going to Baoshan and returning empty-handed."

Lin Hanyun smiled and said, "Brother Zhou Xuan, you are so open-minded. If something happened to your hometown, you still want to play. You are more playful than me. You are the number one Marquis of Tang State."

Fairy Jingyi was about to blame Lin Hanyun, but Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Hanyun is right. I am just playing with wine and singing. What is my life? How can I not play? Could it be that if something happens to my hometown, I will look like I have a deep grudge and a depressed whole day?"

Xiahou Liusu observed his face and said, "Young Master is about to take advantage of this bully to the people of his hometown, and he is just about to be proud and cheerful."

Zhou Xuan glanced at Xiahou Liusu and smiled and said, "Liusu is right. In the future, the people of Yongfeng will celebrate today - the second day of May as a festival. Let's go and visit Lu Yuquan."

Zhou Xuan asked the governor's office to lead the way and rode a horse to visit "Lu Yuquan". On the way, he heard the people of Xinzhou talking about the arrest of Shihu of the Xie family and Zou County Magistrate. They were both happy and worried. Needless to say, they were worried that they would release the evil people after a while, so it was not the time to be happy.

Zhou Xuan and his party went out of the north gate of Shangrao and came to the Tea Mountain where Lu Yu lived in seclusion. When they saw the "Lu Yuquan", they were disappointed. They saw the ruins, the ground was gravel, and the spring water on the rouge ground was still clear, but the surroundings were really broken, and the nearby "Tea God Temple" was also shaking and dangerous!

Lin Hanyun shouted: "Wow, the tea god Lu Yu is so pitiful. Why do people in Xinzhou so disrespect this person is so unrespected!"

Zhou Xuan sighed and walked to the edge of "Lu Yuquan". He saw the spring water like a mirror, illuminating the eyebrows and eyes. The water was slightly creamy. He scooped the water and drank it. The fragrance was sweet and sweet, and said, "It is worthy of being the fourth spring in the world. It is like a stunning beauty. Although her clothes are torn, it is hard to hide her beauty."

Lin Hanyun smiled and said, "Brother Zhou Xuan should dress up this beautiful woman well."

Fairy Jingyi said, "Brother Xuan, come and see, this is a poem written by the poet Meng Jiao for Lu Yu."

Zhou Xuan walked over and saw a poem engraved on a falling stone tablet - "Inscription on Lu Hongjian Shangrao New Mountain House" "I startled the Wuling style and moved to the edge of this rock. Opening the pavilion is like storing clouds, and chiseling stones to get the spring first. Screaming the bamboos and blowing lightly, chanting the flowers into a new chapter. Then I know the noble feelings and get rid of the fate of the district."

Zhou Xuanfu Monument said: "I will rebuild Lu Yuquan. By the way, let's take the name of Sister Daoyun, who is a tea fairy."

Fairy Jingyi said half-shyly and half-angrily: "It's best to use your tea magic name."

Lin Hanyun smiled and said, "I'm right, the tea god, tea fairy, and tea demon gathered next to Lu Yuquan, a grand event!"

Zhou Xuan asked Laifu to pack a jar of spring water and took it back, and bought five kilograms of "Xinzhou Yinhao Tea" produced in Tea Mountain from nearby tea farmers. After sniffing it, he felt that the tea tasted good. Unfortunately, the government was incompetent and did not know how to promote this tea, so he did not even build the "Tea God Temple". It's a pity!

It was already Shen Shi when everyone returned to the city. As soon as they arrived at the governor's yamen, they saw hundreds of villagers gathered outside the yamen and shouted:

"Release Xie Good Man, Xie Good Man is not guilty!"

"Zou County Magistrate loves the people as much as his son, but Zou County Magistrate is wronged!"

"If we do not release the eight brothers of Zou County Magistrate and Xie Shanren, we and the villagers will go to Zhaowu Protectorate to file a complaint and go to the capital to file a complaint!"

"Yes, my fellow villagers in Yongfeng Town asked for the Zou County Magistrate and Xie Shanren to immediately restore the post of Zou County Magistrate. The people of Shangrao cannot do without such good officials!"

"Thank you good people is the hope of the villagers. You build bridges and roads, help the poor and the needy, and do countless good deeds. If such a great kind person is arrested, then we, the common people, will not live and die in front of this state yamen together!"

...

Zhou Xuan sneered: "Zou, the Xie family is indeed mixed and powerful, and has encouraged so many people to gather to cause trouble. Hehe, love the people as a son, a great charity, there are such funny things in the world!" He called the supervisor of the governor's office to his side and said a few words.

The governor of the governor's office immediately called a few people and went to the streets and alleys of the county town to shout: "Someone asked to release corrupt officials Zou and Bull Xie. The villagers all went to the state office to check it out. You must not let corrupt officials Zou and Bull Xie be acquitted, otherwise we young people will not be able to live a life!"

With a response, hundreds of people gathered soon. When they arrived at the front of the state yamen, there were already thousands of people with great momentum. The hundreds of people who were encouraged by the Zou and Xie families immediately disappeared, and they were all speechless and could not speak.

Zhou Xuan asked Fairy Jingyi and the others to return to the governor's mansion first. He stood in front of the gate of the state yamen, with fifty Fenghua Army guards around him, and Sanchi followed closely.

Zhou Xuan said loudly: "Friends and fellow villagers, next Zhou Xuan, his ancestral home is Yongfeng, Xinzhou, and he is a second-rank Grand Secretary——" He should report the rank of the villagers, otherwise they would not know how old you are, and they would think that the Grand Secretary is not as good as the county magistrate.

Thousands of people said "wow", "Wow, the official of the second rank, Zou Corrupt Official is the seventh rank, and the second rank is the seventh rank, which is not enough to cure the corrupt official of Zou.

Fifty soldiers from Fenghua Palace said in unison: "Master Zhou is upright and upright! Eliminate the harm for the people!"

Thousands of Xinzhou people also shouted like this, the people just need to guide them. There is that atmosphere and they can do whatever they want.
Chapter completed!
