Huang Zongxi stared at Zheng Lie not far away and killed all the chasing soldiers, then he smiled, turned to the fat man and said, "Dead fat man, you said that you didn't have bandits, why didn't this group of bandits want to save your life?"

The fat man smiled bitterly and said: "Master Jun, what my lord made an appointment with on the mountain, we are a group of little people who work as errands for others, what else can we do besides listening to the master's arrangement!"

Huang Zongxi nodded and said: "If you did this, it would be easy to do, just behead you, but you are really a miscellaneous servant of the county government, then it will be troublesome, I am afraid that your county grandfather will not be able to escape the responsibility of the bandits! You know, the bandits are going to be killed!"

As soon as Huang Zongxi said this, the fat man was frightened, and he trembled and said: "Master Jun, Master Hou knows about this matter, and Master Hou also acquiesces, how can he get involved with the bandits!"

Huang Zongxi smiled: "Back to the camp, tell Master Hou what you have to do!"

Back in the camp, Wang Zhizheng listened to the confession of the officer, and couldn't help frowning and pacing in the camp account with his hands behind his back, and the captain of the county officer knelt on the ground and asked cautiously: "Master Hou, I said it was a misunderstanding, but the military master just didn't listen!"

Wang Zhizheng turned to stare at her and smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Yes, butt misunderstood, you are just doing errands, don't be afraid, you can't die!"

When Wang Zhizheng said this, everyone knew that their lives were saved, so they all breathed a sigh of relief. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

As a result, Wang Zhizheng sneered and said: "But the fact that your county lord is a bandit has been confirmed by you! If you don't have a bandit, but just send military rations to the mountains for the county lord, it means that the bandits have always been supported by your county lord, and from this level, your lord Dianqing is a bandit!"

The fat man was shocked when he heard Wang Zhizheng finish speaking: "Hou Ye, you don't want to repay the debt, do you? Didn't Hou Ye and my master say that they can support the thieves for a few more months, so that they can successfully Zhao'an......"

"Nonsense!" Wang Zhizheng suddenly scolded: "How many heads do you have enough for Ben Shuai to cut off? You actually said that Ben Shuai agreed to your county master to provide food and grass for the bandits? !

The fat man was also blinded, and he couldn't figure out the specific situation, so he simply pounced and knelt on the ground: "If the Hou Ye has anything to say, just tell my master, you call him to the barracks and ask, the little ones are just doing errands, and they haven't done anything wrong, and they beg the Hou Ye to let ......us go."

Wang Zhizheng waved his hand and said: "You can't go yet, you can't prove that you don't have bandits, you can't go, you will be honest with me in the camp, if anyone dares to escape without authorization, they will be killed on the spot!"

When Wang Zhizheng said the words "kill on the spot", his voice was gloomy and vicious, so frightened that the miscellaneous servants put their heads on the ground and didn't dare to come out!

The fat man begged: "Please also ask the Hou Ye to call the county master over to confront him, try to let us go back as soon as possible, if we can't go back, what can the family do!"

Wang Zhizheng said in disgust: "Cry fart, when did Ben Hou say that he wanted to kill you? As long as you all tell the truth, it was the county magistrate Wang Dianqing who asked you to come, be a good witness, Ben Hou promises to let you go home after this matter is dealt with! Maybe I don't know if I am happy to give you a reward!"

"But as for the edict Wang Dianqing to come over to confront me, I don't dare, after all, he is now suspected of being a bandit, if the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry and comes to assassinate Benhou, it will be troublesome!" Saying this, Wang Zhizheng turned around and strode to the outside of the camp tent, and said to Jiang Nai beside him: "Brother Jiang, please work hard, immediately help me draft a note, detailing what happened today, and then report it to Dali Temple, and let Mao Yilu, the secretary of Dali Temple, send someone to Xicheng County to investigate Wang Dianqing's bandit matter in detail!" Tell Mao Yilu that if the matter is true, then it will be a situation of internal and external attack for Benhou, and the situation is very unfavorable for me! Therefore, please first dismiss the county commander and arrest him, and then ask the Nanjing officials to temporarily dispatch an acting county commander, so that at least the arsenal battalion will not be in the situation of being attacked by the enemy!"

After Wang Zhizheng finished speaking, Jiang Nai arched his hand and said with a smile: "Hou Ye Mingjian, I don't know who is going to be the acting county commander?"

Wang Zhizheng smiled, stared at Jiang Nai, and asked, "Brother Jiang has a suitable candidate in mind?" If there is, use it directly, as long as Brother Jiang thinks it can be used, there must be no problem!"

Jiang Nai laughed and said, "The person I want to use, I don't know if Master Hou dares to use it?"

Wang Zhizheng smiled and stared at Jiang Nai and said, "Brother Jiang, if you think it's appropriate, just recommend it directly to Jinling!

Jiang Nai smiled and said: "Zhou Gong! I think only Zhou Gong knows the mind of the Hou Ye best, and it is most suitable for him to change the commercial tax!"

Wang Zhizheng hesitated for a moment, but thought about what he said just now, he could recommend anyone, so he smiled awkwardly and said: "Brother Jiang, except for Zhou Gong, anyone can do it, Zhou Gong is my entourage, he has never been an official, and he has never done anything, you let him be the acting county magistrate, that's not a joke! I think it's best for you to recommend another one!"

Hearing that Wang Zhizheng didn't want Zhou Gong to go to the county seat, he knew that Wang Zhizheng couldn't do without this left and right hand, so he didn't insist anymore, so he nodded and said: " Okay, since Hou Ye thinks it's not suitable, I'll recommend another person: Wang Dianqing has a clerk under him, he is one of his masters, a native of Shaoxing, of course, he is also a talent who is proficient in business and taxation, because he advised Wang Dianqing to stand on Hou Ye's side, so he has not been reused by Wang Dianqing, and has recently been squeezed out by the henchmen who have been placed in the county government by the ancient classics, so he has simply been idle at home recently, and he does not go to the county government to be an errand! I think this old gentleman can be used!"

Wang Zhizheng gave a satisfied thumbs up after hearing this: "Brother Jiang, I have heard of this person you recommended, Shaoxing Master Wu Xingfang, Mr. Wu, I have heard Chen Zilong mention this person, saying that he is quite famous in Huai'an Mansion! Master is the county master, it is the first time I have heard of it, Brother Jiang really has you! Hahaha!!"

The trap designed by Wang Zhizheng brought about a series of chain reactions, first hearing that the military rations had been robbed, Wang Dianqing was taken aback, and scolded hatefully: "This Wang Zhizheng is too shameless, he even dares to hunt my grain and grass! I want to give the table to the Lord Gu Wendian, and let the Lord Gu Wendian go to the cabinet to participate in his Wang Zhizheng's trouble!"

As soon as Wang Dianqing's words fell, Wu Xingfang, who happened to be on an errand beside him, advised: "No, don't sue Wang Zhizheng, don't sue Wang Zhizheng, think about it, now you send grain and grass to the mountain, this can be said to be listed as a bandit, it can be said that there is no wrong, if you bite Wang Zhizheng again, then the court will investigate, you will be guilty of more crimes! I suggest that the table be revised immediately to explain the situation, present it to the officials, and then ask the officials to take the blame and resign! In this way, Wang Zhizheng has achieved the goal of moving you away from Yancheng County, and there will be no more persecution of you! Only by retreating can we preserve!"
