Chapter 179: Pawn
Kong Zhang sneered, the tone of the young man and woman in front of him was too big. How could the words spoken in private reach the ears of the emperor. Besides, they are also salty and don't worry about eating turnips, what is disrespectful and what is rebellious, is it the turn of these two guys who are not as old as themselves?
Kong Zhang was about to give the order to go down and let his subordinates take down these two people and deal with them according to the rules of He Xinglong, when suddenly a strange sound came from his ears.
There are few pedestrians on the street, and even when there are many people, they may not be able to make such a neat and majestic footsteps. It was the sound of at least hundreds of thousands of people trotting forward neatly. Countless soles of feet stepped on the ground in unison, and countless footsteps made a loud noise, constantly echoing in the sky over Anzhou. The ground seemed to tremble slightly, as if it felt endless fear.
Kong Zhang's face changed drastically, looking left and right, rows of troops poured in from both sides of the street, and in a moment, the small big food street was full, and hundreds of archers appeared on the rooftops, bending their bows and arrows to aim at Kong Zhang and the others. And the officers kept shouting, and with their commands, the soldiers drew their waist knives in unison, and the palpitating sound of metal rubbing against the scabbard shocked everyone who was prosperous.
The two officials who were watching the wind at the entrance of the street had already changed their faces with fright, and they retreated to Kong Zhang's side tremblingly, and said in a trembling voice: "It's the wolf's tooth unit of the Anzhou Prosecutor's Office. β
Kong Zhang grew up in the rivers and lakes, ruthless and poisonous, otherwise he would not be able to become the largest brand name on Andong Road. The wind and waves he has seen are unimaginable to many. It can be seen that the well-informed Kong Zhang is also a little confused at the moment, Anton has almost been eaten by him, and he still has the identity of a legitimate businessman on the surface. It is not uncommon to enter and exit the governor's palace, and I don't know how many Anton officials have honored him, and they are all over the yamen. Only in the wolf tooth army, Kong Zhang has nothing to do with it.
The duty of the Wolf Tooth Force is to counter the rebellion, and this is the only place where they are useful. On the ground of Anton, there are few stupid hats that pull flags and rebel, and the wolf's tooth troops stay in the barracks all day long, and many people have forgotten their existence. This army has nothing to do with the locality, Kong Zhang asked himself that he had a very personal relationship with Old Man Feng and others in the branch office of the Prosecutor's Office, and he didn't need to deal with the Wolf Tooth Army at all, so he really didn't know a few people in the Wolf Tooth Force.
But the army in front of him is no joke, hundreds of snow swords, hundreds of bows and arrows that have been wound, all pointed and prosperous.
"Ask their officers, what's going on?" Kong Zhang said to the two officials in a deep voice: "If you can get out, go to Governor Cao immediately." β
There was no need to bother them, the team of the wolf's tooth troops got out of the way, and out came a tall and burly man, who did not wear a military uniform, but only wore the official uniform of the governor of the Inspector's Office, and walked slowly with his bare hands.
"This general ......" Kong Zhang took out his usual means of dealing with the government and greeted him warmly.
Unexpectedly, the man didn't look at him at all, but strode in front of Qin Fei, hugged his fists and said: "Li Hunu led the wolf's tooth army of eight hundred and fifty people, and when I see that the fireworks signal has been assembled, please show the town governor." β
Kong Zhang hurriedly stretched out his little thumb, inserted it into his ear and scratched it vigorously, Town Governor? It's not a joke, is it?
"Shopkeeper Kong......" Qin Fei sighed faintly: "You should know what the Prosecutor's Office does, right?" β
"Knowing ......" Kong Zhang's brain turned very fast, he is an experienced old Jianghu, kicking on the iron plate, if he begs for mercy or hard top, it is usually a dead end, only improvisation, seeing the wind and making the rudder is the right way.
"Your men teasing Her Royal Highness. Now that you have brought another hundred and eighty people to chat with me, what is the intention of the shopkeeper Kong? β
Kong Zhang's fingers in his ears hadn't been taken out yet, and he almost punctured his eardrums: "Princess? β
If time could be turned back, Kong Zhang would rather chop Shao Dapeng and the four of them into meat sauce, feed them all to the dogs, and then sprinkle the dog feces into the ground, so that they will never be able to live forever.
"You can think about it slowly, our account, and we'll settle it later."
Qin Fei dropped a sentence with a smile, then walked up to the two officials, and asked in a deep voice, "Which official of the yamen are the two?" β
The two officials were so frightened that they almost couldn't even speak, and after a while, one of them had the courage to say: "The villain is the ...... of the prefect's yamen investigation team."
"You are eating the imperial court, and your duty is to keep the place safe, why have you become the watchdog of Hexinglong?" Qin Fei pretended to be puzzled and asked.
"Governor Qin, be gracious...... We're just a little bit of a ghost! The two officials fell to their knees, begging for mercy.
Qin Fei didn't pay attention to it, and said leisurely: "With your two unpopular officials, you are not qualified to be called brothers and sisters with the shopkeeper of He Xinglong. Since he can say that he will transfer people, presumably the head of your prefect's yamen investigation team should be very familiar with the shopkeeper Kong, right? β
The two officials looked at each other, how dare they say this.
"Someone!" Qin Fei beckoned: "With my name thorn, please invite the heads of the Cao Prefect's Mansion and the big and small yamen of Anzhou to come to Dashi Street." Of course, I didn't invite them to dinner, but told them that the shopkeeper Kong is now in my hands. If they come, I will not bring anyone back to the Prosecutor's Office, and if they do not, I will follow the procedure. Under the prosecutor's office, there are no clues that can't be asked, if the shopkeeper Kong accidentally says something, it is no wonder that I am on business. β
Qin Fei's words were red. Bare. Naked, Kong Zhang's face is uncertain, and now he is the meat on the knife board, let others slaughter, what can he say?
Nearly 1,000 officers and soldiers besieged Dashi Street, enveloping the entire city of Anzhou in a faint sense of fear. This is something that has never happened in the history of Anzhou, whether it is officialdom or the underworld, they all have their own ways to solve problems. Where is there anyone as unreasonable as Qin Fei? As soon as he moved, the street was sealed off near Qianqiuba, is this to be slaughtered?
Thinking of all the terrible results, Kong Zhang plucked up the courage to walk to Qin Fei's side and said in a low voice: "Governor Qin, as the saying goes, those who don't know are not guilty. As the governor of the town, you are a high-ranking person, why should you be like a villain? Today, as long as the town governor raises his noble hand, and prosperity will be rewarded to the town governor. β
"You're interesting." Qin Fei said with a smile: "Don't say that I won't give you a chance, I'll see how those old men at the yamen come later." β
Qin Fei's famous thorn may not be so powerful, but Kong Zhang was blocked by Qin Fei on Dashi Street, and those officials had to move. As long as there are people in Anzhou City who wear black gauze hats, how many people have not taken Kong Zhang's black money? That's what the Prosecutor's Office does, grab your handle and put it to death. Moreover, Qin Fei came to Anzhou for only three days, so he cut off the inspector and dismissed Mei Fan. Li Hunu was born as a tiger general in the army, and when he arrived in the wolf's tooth army, he packed up the group of rabbit cubs and obeyed them. Anzhou officials are not stunned, and no one wants to have a hard time with Qin Fei.
If it is a stumbling behind the back, give Qin Fei a black knife, they dare. But if you tear your face in front of you, everyone will show your banner and do it, and no one will dare. Offending a congenital peak master in Anzhou City is not much different from offending Pang Zhen in the Eastern Capital. Maybe in the middle of the night, your head will already move.
Many officials rode horses in small sedan chairs to Dashi Street, and the wolf-tooth troops got out of the way and let them in.
The bright blades, the murderous aura, the jumping torches, and Qin Fei's smiling face.
The prefect of Anzhou is surnamed Cao, named Cao Xuan, who has been up and down in the officialdom for more than ten years, and has been mixed up until now, but he is just a prefect in the poor countryside of Anzhou, and his career is not very smooth. Because of this, Cao Xuan is extremely greedy and wants to use money to make up for his unsatisfactory career. Moreover, there is a lot of money, and there are enough stepping stones to go to the eastern capital to smash the door of a certain official, in case, one is careless, and he knocks on a door, who dares to say that Cao Zhifu, who is only in his forties this year, will not be promoted to three levels in a row?
Everything about He Xinglong in Anzhou, Cao Xuan has a number in his heart, not only counting, but he also has a lot of business to take care of with Xinglong.
Last year, Cao Xuan slapped his head and decided to demolish and rebuild the two streets in the city, but the people may not be willing to sell. and Xinglong did not give in, and all kinds of means were used, forcing none of the people on the two streets to live. Through a relative, Lord Cao took the land of those two streets and rebuilt it into a faΓ§ade, earning five times as much inside and out.
The year before last, Cao Xuan had more than 60,000 taels of silver in his hand and didn't know what business to do for a while, so he threw it to He Xinglong and asked Kong Zhang to help him become a loan shark. As for how Kong Zhang put it, he didn't care, he just had to take back 90,000 taels after a year. Kong Zhang is a shopkeeper who can be a man, and the adult said that he would take back 90,000 taels, so can he still make up a whole number?
Cao Xuan and Kong Zhang are already grasshoppers on a rope, and now that Kong Zhang has an accident, if Cao Xuan doesn't save him, then there is only another way - to force him to death.
Cao Xuan got down from the soft sedan chair and saluted Qin Fei: "Governor Qin Zhen came to Anzhou, this official has been entangled in official business, and he has no time to visit, I really didn't expect that I would meet here today." β
"The officials of Anzhou Prefecture are almost here, right?" Qin Fei looked at the dozens of officials and officials who were following behind Cao Xuan.
"Almost all of them are here, actually, we still want to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." Cao Xuan looked at the Ninth Princess with a smile.
Ah Jiu said lightly: "I'm a folk girl now, so you can save this heart." It should be the people's daughter who gives a salute to the adults. β
Saying that, the ninth princess fell into her waist and wanted to give blessings to the officials.
These officials were dumbfounded with fright, who didn't know that the princess's demotion was just a cover, if she really accepted this gift, her career would be over. Cao Xuan hurriedly knelt down, but he was so fat that he almost rolled on the ground, his face was about to touch the soil, and he said repeatedly: "Weichen doesn't dare to accept the princess's gift......"
The officials behind him all bowed down.
The ninth princess took the opportunity to accept the etiquette, and Qin Fei's words came from her ears: "This is the sound of a stick on the head, next, let's watch my performance." β
