In the county town, a yard with strict security

"Sir, there are many people dead in the city. Are we really not going to show up?"

The adult said lightly: "How come the official is dead?"

"No."

"Can the people suffer?"

"No."

The adult sneered: "Why do you have to come forward? The world of the world is in the world, what does it have to do with our Jiantiansi? As for those merchants who dare to get involved, they will have to bear the corresponding consequences!"

"But some did not interfere, but were implicated innocently..."

"Hehe, you are too naive. Where do you get innocent people from this world? Moreover, these merchants like to stock up on goods, buy low and sell high, raise prices, and exploit the people to make black money. None of them are clean, so it's better to die more."

“…”

In another majestic high hall

'Bang'

"Lawless! Lawless! What does he want to do? Ah? Do you really think that this county can't do anything to him?" Yan Rui was so angry that he smashed the cup in his hand and roared loudly.

As a county magistrate, he knew the rules of the court and the world, but because of such a big mess and so many people died, do you really think that he, the county magistrate, is a decoration? Moreover, if the news spreads, his official evaluation will be affected.

His staff stood beside him, looking at his nose and his nose, and he didn't dare to persuade him.

"Think three times, is there any movement in the Jiantiansi?" Yan Rui cursed for a while, and suddenly turned his head and asked.

Hearing the question, Zuo Sansi said, "Sir, there is no movement."

Yan Rui stomped his feet and roared again: "What are these guys doing? Don't care about such a big thing, should the people in this county go out before they go out? This county must study their books!"

Zuo Sansi turned into a statue again. He knew that the county magistrate was not qualified to be a seventh-rank county magistrate who wanted to participate in the Tianshi Department.

Yan Rui scolded for a while but had no choice but to do anything. The Jiantiansi formed its own system and was directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor. They didn't want to move themselves, so who could make the move?

"Okay, okay! No one cares, then this county will..."

"Report! The master, county magistrate, county magistrate and lord Bo, three masters from the family have been dispatched and have now entered the mansion of three merchants!" At this time, a yamen runs into the interior and reports loudly.

"..." Yan Rui blocked his chest in one breath, and he couldn't faint.

Even these three families took action, so what else would he ask? Will he lock the three families together and put them in jail? He is just a foreign county magistrate, so how can he win over the three major families in the county together?

Before he could recover, another yamen runner came to report, "Sir, Fang Chen, the head of the Fang family, is looking for a meeting outside."

"Head of the Fang family?" Yan Rui breathed a deep breath and tried hard to calm himself down, but he couldn't remember who the person was.

Zuo Sansi immediately reminded: "Sir, it's the boy Fang, the Weihai Gang."

Yan Rui suddenly realized, no wonder he was familiar with him, and then he smiled angrily, "It's so good, I dare to come to see me. I'm so brave. I want to see what this bold and arrogant madman wants to say and pass him in to me." As he said that, he put on his crown robe, turned around and sat down in the main seat.

Soon, Fang Chen was brought in.

Walking into the main hall, Fang Chen didn't look much, shook his sleeves, clasped his fists and bowed to the end, and shouted: "Caomin Fang Chen, pay homage to the county master!"

There is no kneeling ceremony in this world, even if you go to court in the palace, you will just bow your tribute.

The warrior stands tall and qi and blood rush around the night, and has an unyielding will. The stronger the strength, the stronger the mood. There is no weak person who can enter and exit the imperial court and rank in the Golden Palace. Therefore, even the emperor dare not let the ministers kneel down.

Even the emperor doesn’t have to kneel down, who dares to kneel down?

Therefore, what Fang Chen gave now is the highest gift.

Yan Rui was slightly stunned when he saw his attitude. He thought that the other party was young and had such strength and status, and would definitely be full of arrogance. He did not expect to see him in the big week and immediately looked up to him a little.

But when I thought of what he did, I felt angry again, and immediately raised my airs and snorted coldly: "I can't stand your great gift. If you hold a grudge against me, I might lose my whole family one day."

When Fang Chen heard this, the magistrate was very dissatisfied with what he did, but he was not panicked and shouted: "Caomin, sir, there is a reason for today's affairs, and sir, so the grass people cannot do it. I hope you can report it!"

"What a person cannot do it. Can he destroy dozens of families and kill thousands of families?" Yan Rui sneered, "Okay, why can't you? I will listen to your argument."

"Thank you, sir!" Fang Chen said calmly, as if he had not heard his sarcasm, "Caomin is not old, but he also knows that there is a reason for the injustice and the debt is a master, so Caomin initially only wanted to find Lingshemen and a few companies to make trouble. Unexpectedly, he discovered a big thing in the process. The Lingshemen colluded with bandits outside the county and specifically robbed and killed caravans without escorts, forcing merchants to buy merchants to hire escorts at a high price. A group of people under his sect also participated, either providing information for the bandits, or selling stolen goods for the thieves, and obtaining huge benefits."

"So, for the sake of the safety of the Fang family, and for peace in the county, the people of the grass have to kill each other to prevent the people of the county from going out and being harmed by scum by thieves."

Yan Rui looked at him expressionlessly. He really believed you. He could tell such a clumsy excuse. He also wanted to charge the victim merchant as a bandit and whitewash himself. It was such a good plan. Can you be a fool if you are a fool?

But he did not reveal it immediately, and said with a smile: "So that's the case. It's a matter of fate. In this way, the head of the Fang family not only has no mistakes, but has made merits. But..." Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and according to the convention, it was a turning point. "Can the head of the Fang family have evidence? If the personal evidence and physical evidence are present, we can make a decision!"

"Of course there is!" Fang Chen took out an envelope from his arms and handed it respectfully with both hands.

Zuo Sansi took it and quickly opened it and handed it over to Yan Rui.

Yan Rui sneered, spread out the paper and glanced casually, then he couldn't move his eyes away, and he was stunned.

After a while, he came to his senses, folded the paper again, took a deep breath, and said calmly: "Head of the Fang family, are your... evidence all true?"

"The grass people dare not deceive the adults. Every sentence above is true. I will send you ironclad evidence later. I hope the adults will investigate clearly!" Fang Chen said loudly.

"Yeah!" Yan Rui nodded, his tone became calm, "The head of the Fang family is intent. The official has already understood this matter. He will definitely find out the truth and handle it impartially. In addition, Yang County Wei is in charge of the responsibility of public security and robbery in the county, and you need a sect to say a word."

"Thank you for your advice, Caomin will go to inform the county magistrate later."

"Well! So, you go back first!" Yan Rui finished speaking, and wanted to take the cup from the side, but he felt empty. Then he realized that he had just smashed it.

But Fang Chen still retreated with a wink.

After Fang Chen left, Yan Rui anxiously took out the "evidence" and spread it open. He looked carefully and smiled unconsciously on his face.

Zuo Sansi was a little confused and looked at the "evidence" strangely. What kind of "iron evidence" can change the attitude of adults so much. Judging from the size of the paper, it is impossible to contain too much information!

"Haha! Look at it too, this kid is indeed a sensible thing." Yan Rui looked at it for a while before he looked back with satisfaction. He glanced at the look of his aide and couldn't help but smile and handed over the "evidence". This kind of thing cannot be hidden from his confidant, and there is no need to hide it.

Zuo Sansi took it respectfully, and when he saw it, he immediately took a deep breath. Only then did he understand why the adult's attitude changed drastically. The evidence in his hand was clearly a gift list.

The first item is the "30,000 taels of silver". There are also a lot of rare calligraphy and paintings behind it. The beautiful jewelry and jade are also valuable.

Such a valiant gift is probably hard to refuse anyone!

Leaving the county yard, Fang Chen looked back at the "fair and strict" hanging from the door, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Thirty thousand taels are not a decimal point. There are many medium-sized families that have been destroyed, but only two can have assets of 30,000 taels, and those precious jewelry are also worth seven or eight thousand taels of silver. It can be said that Fang Chen gave away all the assets of a medium-sized family and several small families to the county magistrate for free, and he definitely put in a lot of money.

It is said that the county magistrate who destroyed the family and the prefect who destroyed the family have obtained the property of several families for nothing. What else is there to be dissatisfied with?

In his previous life, Qin Emperor unified the world for more than two thousand years, how many people were honest? Like Hai Rui, he could count one hand. If it exceeds it, add another hand, and there can be no more.

He didn't believe that the officials in this world were clean. Of course, if he happened to meet Hai Rui, not Yan Rui, he would only be considered unlucky.

The county master did not disappoint him, and finally reminded him to communicate with the county magistrate.

With the county magistrate nodding, the three major families became accomplices again, and the matter was completely resolved. The hats of the "victims" bandits were taken to the coffin, and they were covered with boards and hammered nails.
Chapter completed!
