In the exclamation, the official who crawled in with a rolling belt saw that his lord was being held hostage, and he was so surprised that he forgot what to say, and the county commander shook his beard angrily, for fear of angering Zhang Xian, he really killed him, and held back his anger and shouted:

"What to do in a panic, say something slowly, but no matter what, without the order of the official, don't act rashly!"

The official was also at a loss in his heart, and said tremblingly:

"Big, big, big, big, all of them are surrounded by Zhang's family outside, they are densely armed with spears, one by one fierce and vicious, big, big, about six or seven hundred people, our county government brothers and Zhang County Lieutenant's family have been tied up, just, just, just let me in to report the news."

The official had just finished speaking in fear, the county magistrate opened his mouth wide, looked at Zhang Xian with wide eyes, wiped the sweat beads that appeared densely on his forehead, and a woman from outside hurriedly ran in and knelt down and said:

"Master, the master is not good, I am Mrs. maid Cuihua, a group of people call themselves the Zhang family, saying that they are on the orders of the master, come to collect the arrears, they broke into the master's house, three or two to tie up all the guards, the lady was so frightened that she fainted, they rummaged through the cabinets in the adult's bedroom, and put the adult's gold, silver, jewelry, account books and letters all in the living room, and then let the slave come to report the news."

When the county magistrate heard what the maid said, his face suddenly turned pale, bloodless, and instantly turned from white to black, from black to purple, and his hands began to tremble.

When Zhang Xian's uncles looked at everything that happened in the clouds and fog in front of them, they were shocked by Zhang Xian's big hand, what else could they say, now it is the transposition of the host and guest, and I am a knife for the fish and the flesh. At this time, a purple-clothed family member under Daniel Zhang ran in and said to Uncle Zhang Xian:

"The head of the family, it's not good, our manpower has been mobilized to the ancestral hall, and the family has been occupied by the patriarch, and now the lady is tied up, and they turned out the letter you wrote to the county lord from the head of the family's study, and they asked me to report to the head of the family."

When this Ding finished speaking, the entire Zhang ancestral hall was silent, all of them seemed to be petrified, and as far as the eye could see, there was only Zhang Xian, who was lightweight, and Wang Fu, who was not shocked, and even Zhang Xian's father, mother and Nianxin were stunned.

Everyone was thinking in their hearts, to say that this Zhang Xian sent his family to take down the eldest uncle's family, although it can be regarded as a little disobedient, but it is acceptable for a reason, but a young hairy guy dares to directly send someone to directly attack the county commander's family to take people, and search out a huge amount of dirty silver and all the dirty bribe account books, how bold and earth-shattering is this?

At this moment, a burly man walked in like a giant tower, and the person who came was Niu Dameng, the first fierce general under Zhang Xian, this Niu Dameng saw everything in front of him, and there was no other person's surprised expression at all, as if Zhang Xian held the county official and the uncle of the Zhang clan hostage with a knife, and usually just ate and dressed, he simply walked up to Zhang Xian without squinting and whispered a few words.

After Zhang Xian listened, he put away the short knife with a smile, asked Niu Dameng and Wang Jiaotou to bring people in to drive several uncles and cousins out of the living room, and immediately ran down to untie the ropes for his father, mother and Nianxin, and asked Niu Dameng to send him home, and arranged it properly, Zhang Xian walked to the county order unhurriedly, and said with a smile:

"I said that the county lord, now the entire Zhang ancestral hall is left with you and me, straight to the point, it is really a three-year small county order, 100,000 snowflakes of silver, the county lord is really a good hand at making money, you have more than 10,000 taels of silver in your home, more than 50,000 taels of silver tickets, plus your copper coins, gold and silver jewelry and those famous calligraphy and paintings, the dirty silver that the county lord is greedy for ink, how can it be converted to no less than 80,000 taels, think that the military rations escorted by me in Yangzhou are worth thousands of taels of silver, and they can support the border soldiers to kill the enemy and defend the country, your 80,000 taels of snowflake silver, It is enough for the border soldiers to spend more than half a year's military expenses. This Yangzhou is also one of the richest places in my Great Song Dynasty, you can imagine, how clean do you have to scrape the land of Yangzhou City? If your bribery account books that were sent to us appear now on the case of the squire of the Ministry of War and the case of Li Tingzhi Li of Yangzhou Governor, the county lord should think about it, with Lord Li's jealous and hateful character, it seems that it is difficult to keep the head of the county lord! ”

After listening to Zhang Xian's words, the county order's half-dead body, which was already scared, immediately knelt down for Zhang Xian, his face was pale, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop twitching, then Li Tingzhi was notoriously jealous and hateful, if the account book and evidence really fell into his hands, or let the emperor know, his head was small, and he was going to overturn the backer behind him, and his family didn't even have the qualifications to serve in the army, and he would definitely be secretly exterminated by them, the county order grabbed Zhang Xian's clothes with trembling hands, and said with a sad face:

"Lord Zhang, this official, oh, no, I'm a dog official with no eyes, I shouldn't offend Lord Zhang, I'm the old and the young, a family of more than 60 people, if I am really caught by Lord Li, I will really destroy the clan? Lord Zhang, you also know that once the backstage of the DPRK and the Central Committee involved in my account book find out that I have bribed and made an account book, destroying my clan is like pinching a little ant to death, those people and officials really can't afford to offend, and please spare my life, I, the dog official, I will beat myself in the mouth to relieve your anger to your lord! ”

After the county order was finished, he knelt down for Zhang Xian at once, kowtowed like pounding garlic, until there were blood marks on his forehead, and then he opened the bow left and right and slapped his big mouth. Zhang Xian thought of the evaluation of the Great Song Dynasty in later generations, the GDP output of the whole country accounted for 80% of the world's GDP, the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty is really not covered, according to a Hong Kong historian, the per capita GDP of the Great Song Dynasty reached 7.5 taels of silver, and the GDP of these rich places in Yangzhou and Hangzhou reached more than 50 taels of silver per capita. Zhang Xian had more important things to do, so he said coldly:

"Okay, since Lord County is so sincere, I want to help you, but first, this official has been dismissed from his official position by Lord County, and he has been burdened with many cases, so he is powerless, and secondly, I don't know how to help Lord County with those gold, silver, jewelry and account books of yours!"

When the county official heard what Zhang Xian said, he breathed a sigh of relief, did the officialdom still understand? Immediately said:

"Master Zhang, it has now been investigated clearly, in order to occupy the family property, the uncle of the adult clan falsely accused Zhang Xian, a promising young man in this county, of privately raising soldiers, and this official was deceived for a while, but fortunately the final investigation made it clear that this is completely an ordinary family member, and this official will immediately remove Daniel Zhang from the post of county lieutenant, and will be imprisoned together with the uncle of the adult clan for trial; As for the case of the county government soldiers denouncing the murder of the soldiers, it was purely because these soldiers colluded with the mountain bandits and took the blame on themselves. In addition, Lord Zhang successfully completed the imperial mission this time, and the official appointed Zhang Xian as the governor of Yangzhou County; Finally, the official wants to correct Mr. Zhang, the official has always been honest, the eighty taels of silver that Mr. Zhang found in the official's house were actually borrowed from Mr. Zhang, and now the official immediately arranged for someone to return the eighty taels of silver, all, all, all to Mr. Zhang, the account book is actually a few books, and they were also given to Mr. Zhang, and after Mr. Zhang received it, the official went home, Mr. Zhang, do you think this arrangement is good? ”

Even Zhang Xian, who came through the crossing, faced with a face of lies, turning his hands into clouds and rain, and a righteous and awe-inspiring county official, was also stunned by surprise, 80,000 taels of silver instantly said that he borrowed 80 taels of silver for himself, and repeated it all three times, I have to admire the shrewdness of this officialdom old oilman, since this old boy is willing to give away all the family property and evidence of his bribery in order to save his life, and he wants to develop and grow now, what he lacks is money.

Zhang Xian didn't think about it, if he really gave this county official to Li Tingzhi to do it, although he immediately became a celebrity in Yangzhou and was grateful to the people, but when the entire Great Song Dynasty was dominated by corrupt officials, the atmosphere of officialdom and cultural degradation was nothing more than a change of county order to continue to loot the people, and after this county official was punished by the Ming Dynasty, then his backstage was bound to immediately oppose himself, with his current strength, even if he could deal with it, he would kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, and he would lose both. It's better to accept this money for the time being, Xu Tu developed, Zhang Xian said with a smile:

"Since the county lord has said so, the lower officials will be reluctant to make it difficult, and the next will not be an example, but there is one point, if the adult is worth more than five hundred taels of silver before he leaves office, then how can the account books appear on the case of Lord Li, understand?"

"Understand, I must do what Master Zhang asks! Oh, Lord Zhang, you see that this official immediately went out to explain the cause of today's matter, dismissed Daniel Zhang, several of Lord Zhang's clan uncles were taken into custody together, and arranged for someone to return the eighty taels of silver borrowed from Lord Zhang and the books intact. ”

Zhang Xian smiled, it is indeed easy to talk to smart people, no wonder this old boy can be the county official of the rich land of the Great Song Dynasty, with this cheekiness, Zhang Xian really can't learn, so he motioned to the county official to go out and deal with it.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, Zhang Xian's three uncles and cousins, at the beginning, were still dreaming of dividing up Zhang Xian's family property and letting the boss be the patriarch, who knew that the fourth child's wild son did not play cards according to the routine at all, and directly sent people to surround the ancestral hall not to say, but also to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle, and boldly sent people to their own homes and county orders' homes, turned out the dirty silver and bribery account books, the third and fourth complained that the boss should not offend Zhang Xian, the boss of the Zhang family was already holding back the fire, and then the second and third were all counted, Immediately said:

"What's it called? When you said that you wanted to divide the property of the four old families, you were more active than anyone else, but now that the boat has capsized, you can't have some dignity and backbone? ”

As soon as the boss finished speaking, the county order walked out side by side with Zhang Xian with a smile, and the county order told the previous discussion with Zhang Xian's ancestral hall, when Daniel Zhang heard that the county lord had removed him from the post of county lieutenant and was going to prison with his father and two uncles to await trial, he sat on the ground in a daze, pointing at Zhang Xian, "You... You... You ..... "Daniel Zhang you haven't said a complete sentence for a long time, with Daniel Zhang thinking, you can't understand at all why this imposter cousin can turn the corner every time, why he succeeds every time, but the final result is self-helping! Could it be that there are demons and gods helping him? Or is this cousin really wronged?

The ugliness, hypocrisy and shamelessness of human nature were immediately presented in front of Zhang Xian again, because Zhang Xian's three uncles and several cousins were not able to live before, and they wanted to kill their family, and in a blink of an eye, they all knelt on the ground and begged themselves to let them go.

Zhang Xian was grabbed by several clan uncles and cousins and begged for mercy, noncommittal, Zhang Xian stretched out his finger and pointed to a place.
