For seven or eight days in a row, Xie Zhi, Wang Shouren and others were all in a mess, not having fun everywhere, even if they went back to the county office, they were also playing chess and drinking tea, and the county had never dealt with a single thing.

Finally, on the eighth day of He Liang's absence, he returned to the county government at night.

When He Liang came back, Xie Zhi did not delay, and immediately summoned Wang Shouren and others.

Don't look at the past few days, Xie Zhi has taken a few people around eating, drinking and having fun, in fact, he has long wanted to solve the Ma family and Fei Zheng and other filthy officials.

He is the magistrate of the clouds, that Fei Zheng is a small official, and he really treats himself as a green onion, do you really think that you can be the master of the county's affairs?

After Liu Jin and Zhang Yong accompanied Zhu Houzhao into the door, Zhu Houzhao still had good eyesight, and then ordered: "You two go to guard outside the door." ”

Zhu Hou did as instructed, Liu Jin didn't dare to say more even if he didn't want to, and walked out.

After several people arrived, Xie Zhicai said to He Liang: "Tell me about the situation you have inquired about." ”

He Liang did not hesitate, 1510 said: "In the past few days, the villain has walked more than 50 villages, and the situation is similar to what the Zhang family father and son said.

But after that, Yang Taihe was appointed as the county governor of Yunzhong, and under his protection, the Ma family quickly occupied the people's fertile land with various scoundrel methods, and within a few years, most of the fertile land in the county fell into the hands of the Ma family.

Because Ma Jinxue was a person, he did not need to pay taxes, and Yang Taihe wanted to maintain his political achievements, so he collected taxes from those people with inferior fields.

The people were forced to have no choice, so they had to go to the countryside to escape the famine, Yang Taihe for the sake of his own face, how could he allow the people of the county to go out, and sent messengers to block them, and the people could not get out and had no way to live, so they could only occupy the mountains and become bandits. ”

Zhu Houzhao patted the table and said: "In the small clouds, there is such a place to hide dirt and dirt, how did the patrol investigate, and he was able to tolerate Yang Taihe to do evil for nine years, and now Yang Taihe has been promoted to the county?" I had to tell my father about it immediately. ”

Wang Shouren, Tang Yin and Xu Jing all stared at Zhu Houzhao with blank eyes.

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, and asked rhetorically: "Is what this palace said wrong?" ”

The three of them didn't answer, but Xie Zhi said: "What His Royal Highness said is all right, Yang Taihe and the Ma family's behavior is hateful, but this is not the general situation of the entire Ming Dynasty. ”

Immediately, Xie Zhi asked, "Is there any news about Yang Tai and Jingzhong Amen Road?" ”

He Liang shook his head and said: "I don't know this, but some people say that Yang Taihe once searched for women everywhere to send them to the backer in Beijing." ”

"Still a womanizer?"

Then, Xie Zhi turned his head to Zhu Houzhao and asked, "Is there such a person among the high-ranking officials in Beijing?" ”

Zhu Houzhao didn't think about it, so he said, "Shou Ninghou? ”

After answering, he was puzzled: "Shou Ninghou's reputation in Beijing is stinky, how can he still be in cahoots with him." ”

This guy is really unfilial, Zhang Heling is still his uncle, does he say this about his uncle?

As soon as Zhu Hou said this, a few crows flew in front of the eyes of the few people present.

Wang Shouren coughed and said: "Xie Zhi, the key now is to break the iron network composed of the Ma family and the group of officials in the county government, as for the backer of Yang Taihe in Beijing, it is not yet time to consider." ”

Xie Zhi pondered for a moment, and then said, "Tell me about the situation of the Ma family." ”

He Liang then replied: "Ma Tiannan has two sons, Ma Jinxue is the eldest son, and there is a young son, thirteen or fourteen years old, who can be regarded as Ma Tiannan's old son... Oh... It's called Ma Jinqian, with the power of the Ma family, bullying men and women, doing all kinds of evil, the villagers can be said to hate it to the core, Ma Jinxue has two sons and a daughter, the eldest is more than five years old, and the younger one has only passed the full moon a few months ago..."

When He Liang said this, Xie Zhi pulled up a meaningful smile and said, "I have thought of a way, Ma Tiannan is old and has a son, and he spoils Ma Jinqian more than his grandson, right?" ”

He Liang nodded and said, "That's right." ”

Xie Zhi took out some broken silver from his body and handed it to He Liangdao: "You go to the theater to find a few people..."

He Liang took the silver, Xie Zhiyi hid it, and directly introduced his plan in front of several people.

As soon as Xie Zhi's plan was finished, Zhu Houzhao immediately said happily: "Ha... Xie Wu, your strategy is good enough, frame Ma Jin to beat people to death, and then pretend to be a prison robber to rescue Ma Jinqian, so that you can go to Ma's house to search and arrest in an open manner, so that the Ma family's crimes can be firmly grasped in our hands? ”

Xie Zhi is an upright person, although Zhu Houzhao is praising him, he can't say that Zhu Houzhao is right.

Xie Zhi pulled up a smile and said with a smile: "Who said that so-and-so was going to Ma's house to find a crime?" ”

Zhu Houzhao restrained his smile and asked in surprise, "Don't go to find a crime?" So how are you prepared? ”

Xie Zhi replied: "The officials in the county can't be used, and taking them to the Ma family's crime is not enough for them to cover for the Ma family?" How can just a few of us easily catch the handle of the Ma family? ”

Saying that, Xie Zhi said in an aggravated tone: "If that's the case, then let's take Ma Tiannan directly." ”

Zhu Houzhao was even more surprised, and said in shock: "What should I do if I take Ma Tiannan and can't find evidence?" ”

Zhu Houzhao has a very high IQ, so he doesn't know how to use his brain, and he is not afraid of rust.

Xie Zhibai glanced at Zhu Houzhao, and said angrily: "Who said that there is no evidence, the so-called people do not raise officials and do not investigate, the people in the county have complained many times and have no way, and they can't sue the Ma family, so they will never have the idea of sueping, if we arrest Ma Tiannan, and then issue a notice, someone will come to sue, as long as someone sues, there will be human witnesses, as soon as the human evidence appears, I am afraid that there is no physical evidence, and there are all human and physical evidence, and this matter will not be done?" ”

Zhu Houzhao was full of admiration, took the lead in giving a thumbs up, and said, "High, really high." ”

Wang Shouren also said: "This plan is very appropriate. ”

Tang Yin and Xu Jing also admired each other, and Xu Jing said: "If the Ma family is brought down, Fei Zheng and the others will not be afraid." ”

After discussing countermeasures, He Liang immediately began to act.

At noon the next day, when Xie Zhi and the others were eating, Fei Zheng hurriedly ran in, sweating profusely and panting: "Knowing the county, the Ma family's horses fought and killed people in the East Street before entering, and the county is afraid that a few people will be sent there." ”

He Liang's movements are quite neat.

Xie Zhi was happy in his heart, but he didn't say much, raised his wine glass, and shouted: "Bo'an, Bohu, Father Heng, come, continue to drink." ”

This glass of wine is also a celebration of their start.

A few people drank wine, Xie Zhi took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, and said: "Fei Si is familiar with the things in the county, Fei Si Shi notified the criminal arrest head to take a few people to go, and the county will not go, the Ma family has silver, Fei Si Shi will go around and pay some silver." ”

Several people are staggered.

Fei Zheng was embarrassed for a long time, and finally said: "Zhixian, the person killed before Ma Jin came to the county seat to sing, and the Ma family has already taken out three hundred taels to accommodate, seeing that the group of people has no intention of compromise, I have to sue the official, and I am afraid that it will not work if the county does not go." ”

The Ma family is really wealthy, and if something happens, they will take the silver first.

Xie Zhi looked irritable, threw down his chopsticks, and said, "Trouble, go, go... Zhang Yong, go get the official uniform of this county. ”

Xie Zhi put on a cyan official uniform in the dining hall.

This is the first time Xie Zhi has worn an official robe, although he is only a seven-grade sesame petty official, but he is also an official.

In his previous life, he was just a small person who had only seen the director of the neighborhood committee, but he didn't expect that he would be the leader of a county after crossing over.

After putting on his official clothes, Xie Zhi went directly to East Street under the leadership of Fei Zheng.

There were already officials guarding the east street, and a few people stood in the distance.

At the place of the incident, there was a man lying there, covered in blood, and the blood was almost dyeing the whole street red.

This is too exaggerated, there must be four or five people in this blood.

Xie Zhi covered his mouth and nose with his hands and walked in with a look of disgust, and asked, "Who wants to sue the official?" ”

The man who was not confused stood up and said: "It's a villain, the villain came here to sing and make a living, I wanted to sing for five days, but I didn't think that this happened just after I came here..."

The man still had to explain, Xie Zhi waved his hand and said, "Since it is a lawsuit, take it back to the county government first." ”

The man asked, "Don't do an inquest?" ”

Xie Zhi said angrily: "This county still doesn't know how to try the case? Take them all back..."

After that, Xie Zhi smiled with Ma Tiannan on the side and said: "Ling Lang's county may have to take it back first, but although the head of the Ma family can rest assured, this county will not let Ling Lang suffer." ”

Xie Zhi himself admired his acting skills a little, and the image of a dull and mediocre official made him act vividly.

Ma Tiannan replied with a smile on his face: "This is as it should be, as it should be..."

Of course, Ma Tiannan was relieved that Xie Zhi took Ma to study and went back, and no one in the entire yazhong would not give face to the Ma family.

Even if Ma Jinxue goes to prison, he will not be wronged.
