"What's the matter, it's not falling yet?"

After Fan Yong finished speaking, he couldn't help but sneer. In his opinion, this county lieutenant is really reckless, so flustered, where is there a little bit of the prestige of the chief, if it falls in the eyes of outsiders, wouldn't it be a loss of face in the county temple.

"County Jun, the sky hasn't fallen yet, but the sky in this Jiangyi is about to collapse!"

After hearing the county lieutenant's words, Fan Yong suddenly stopped sneering, and he also noticed at this time that the county lieutenant's words were mixed with unusual panic, so he hurriedly asked:

"What do you mean, make it clear!"

"These days, some people have been secretly visiting the county temple officials and the length of the big names in the city!"

"Smack!"

As soon as Fan Yong heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and he slammed the table in front of him in a momentary gaffe, and after feeling the sharp pain from the palm of his hand, he hurriedly asked:

"Who is it?"

Asking in his mouth, Fan Yong also secretly thought in his heart, this Jiangyi, he thought that everything was under his control, even the arrogant and domineering Xiliang soldiers were bribed by him with money, who else could go against him?

Is there a postal supervisor sent by the Hedong County Government?

No way!

Fan Yong instantly overturned this idea. At present, Jiangyi has become a front city to defend against the white wave thieves, and the northern governor of the county government will definitely not be in danger to visit him privately, and the money and silk that he secretly conveyed to the Hedong county government have not been interrupted, and it is impossible for the Hedong county government to send people to Jiangyi at this time.

Could it be those Xiliang soldiers outside the city?

It was the county lieutenant who gave him doubts that solved Fan Yong's doubts.

"Who is secretly investigating, I don't know in the beginning, because it is rumored that there are people inside and outside the city recently who are secretly visiting us, although I don't believe it in my heart, but I still sent someone to look for traces, and as a result, I really caught two people who were secretly visiting the county temple."

"How, where are the people, and who commanded them?"

Faced with Fan Yong's hurried inquiry, the county lieutenant looked helpless, he shook his head, and said:

"Although the person was caught, a team of Xiliang soldiers came from behind, and in the name of chasing and arresting the White Wave Thief spy, they snatched the person!"

"Are you sure it was the Xiliang soldiers who snatched the people?"

"The people I sent saw with their own eyes, those soldiers were held by armor, and their faces were fierce, except for the Xiliang soldiers, Jiangyi couldn't find another such soldiers and horses!"

"That's it!"

Hearing the county lieutenant's affirmative answer, Fan Yong only said this. His face was now covered with a thick haze, and he pursed his lips, and his calm face could no longer speak.

After being silent for a long time, Fan Yong spoke again and said:

"Quickly send someone to gather all the families in the city, and let their parents go to the county temple to discuss this matter, and remember to tell each family to act in secret."

After receiving the order, the county lieutenant hurriedly ran out again. Fan Yong looked at the back of the county lieutenant running in a hurry, and his heart was not uneasy, and he hurriedly ordered that the county officials, chief bookkeepers, and gong cao in the county temple should all come to the lobby and prepare to talk to them first.

The top priority is to find out, what is the purpose of Xiliangbing's actions?

Is it to take the handle of the county temple and the surname, and then ask for more goods from himself and others? Or is it that at the beginning, they were confusing themselves and others, but in the field, they were trying to wipe out all the people on their own side?

Fan Yong shook his head anxiously, and when he heard the bad news, he couldn't tell the difference, and his mind was already in turmoil at this time.

Soon, the county officials in the county temple, such as the county officials, Gong Cao, and the chief bookkeeper, came to the hall one after another, and there were also parents with big surnames in the city who hurried to the county temple.

After hearing what the county lieutenant said, everyone gathered in the hall also panicked, and they couldn't figure out each other, didn't Xiliangbing's interactions with his own side over the past few days become more and more serious, and suddenly sent someone to investigate their guilt, what did they want to do?

Dangkou Lieutenant is specially set up for thieves, and has no power to manage civil affairs, let alone the right to visit the county temple officials and the length of the surname in the city, even if the Xiliang soldiers succeed in getting the evidence of the crime and get it to the Hedong County Government, the county government will not necessarily believe it, not to mention, they also have people in the county government, and the Xiliang soldiers will run to the county government on their behalf, and if they don't get fishy, it will already be calculated, where can they still be moved?

Just when everyone in the hall was confused and puzzled, suddenly another county official stumbled in from the outside, Fan Yong suddenly heard the bad news today, and his heart was already irritable and anxious, and now seeing this county official so flustered, a greater sense of unease suddenly rose in his heart.

"No-no, there is a group of Xiliang soldiers from outside the county temple!"

"Ahh This-this!! ”

The words of the county officials who ran in were like thunder on the ground, which instantly caused panic among the people in the hall, and some people trembled, their eyes were erratic, and they had a tendency to run away when they saw that the situation was not good.

"What's the panic, since you're here, let's see, what do they want?"

Fan Yong also saw the embarrassment of everyone in the hall, he simply got up from the chief position, walked down the hall, and glared at the panicked people, he could only use words to force calm, giving everyone a false impression of fearlessness, which barely calmed down everyone's emotions.

And the Xiliang soldiers outside came very quickly, almost all the way in.

Ma Lin and Meng Tu first drove into the county temple with a cadre of armor soldiers, and then rushed into the hall without any scruples, all of them showed their fierce faces, glaring at the people in the hall, as if they had seen prey.

Subsequently, Yan Xing brought Xi Zhicai, Zhou Liang, Zheng Duo and other scribes and personal guards to the hall.

Seeing that there were not only the officials of the county temple in the hall, but also some of the parents with the surname who had met at the banquet that night, Yan Xing smiled and said:

"Gentlemen, don't you want to gather here again today, don't come unharmed?"

In the face of Yan Xing's greetings, the county officials and surnames in the hall looked sideways, but no one dared to speak, or Fan Yong made a decision, stepped forward with a smile, and said tentatively:

"The school captain is so idle, why did he suddenly come to the county temple today, and he didn't let people report it? We are discussing the matter of requisitioning Ding Zhuang and replenishing the military supplies with grain and grain, since the captain is also here, it is just right, the big surnames in the city have the intention of rewarding the king, but the number of money valleys is geometric, and we must also discuss with the school captain!"

Seeing that Fan Yong still wanted to use the bribe of Qiangu Bubo to stabilize himself, Yan Xing smiled, and didn't care about anyone in the hall anymore, he strode directly and walked to the top of the hall with a cadre of scribes.

"Since all the gentlemen have important things to discuss, then it's okay, the captain of this school also has a big event to announce in front of everyone, since everyone is almost here, let's do everything together."

Fan Yong watched Yan Xing sit in his place unceremoniously, and a little fierceness suddenly flashed in his eyes, but after he caught a glimpse of those armor soldiers in the hall, he slowly retracted the fierceness in his eyes.

"I don't know what the captain said, but what is it?"

At this time, the people in the hall also sensed the danger of the sword soldiers, these Xiliang soldiers were not only not good, but also this tone was obviously coming for themselves and others.

The county Cheng looked at the soldiers standing on both sides of the hall, and his mouth became a little dry for a while, and he couldn't help but hurriedly ask.

"Yuan Shan, let's talk about it!"

Yan Xing stood high in the hall, looked around at the county officials and the big surnames who were sitting or standing in the hall, and ignored the county officials, and turned his head to let Zhou Liang on the side go out to read out the crimes of the county officials and surnames that he had visited in the past few days.

"No!"

Zhou Liang held the dossier in his hand, and after hearing Yan Xing's order, he hurriedly agreed, then unfolded the dossier in his hand and began to read:

"Fan Yong, the chief of Shoujiangyi, and the magistrates of Sizhong County and the county lieutenants, dereliction of duty in guarding the border, expropriating tyranny, collecting more than 2 million more than 2 million yuan in total, and bending the law, accepting nearly one million money from the big surnames in the city, and watching the powerful surname Hao commit illegal things such as thieves and killings, forcibly marrying wives, and seizing people's family property."

"In addition, he teamed up with the temple to guard the thieves of the gold and the cang, and was greedy for military money and grain, totaling more than 36,000 yuan. He also teamed up with the Qian family in the city to make profits by lending money, and his capital reached tens of millions. Connived at the theft of salt and iron under his rule, and the white wave thief Kou Tong. Assign county officials to set up checkpoints along the way, exploit and rob the fleeing people's property, kill the displaced people without permission, and fabricate charges for no reason, send the people in the city to prison, and torture them to death······"

After Zhou Liang and others secretly visited and collected and sorted out the files, Yan Xing and others who saw the files were all shocked, and Fan Yong, the head of Jiangyi, was rampant, taking advantage of the turmoil in Hedong and the unquiet situation in the place, in order to seek heavy funds for their own families, the degree of wealth accumulation can be said to have reached a frenzied attitude.

Not only in the name of preparing for the military quarters of the garrison at the front, but they wantonly forcibly expropriated money, overcharged money, accepted bribes from the big names in the city, and sat idly by and turned a blind eye to their crimes such as murder and concealment of their families. Moreover, he took advantage of the current geographical location of Jiangyi on the front line to lend money for profit, smuggle salt and iron, and use various charges to send prisoners and city residents to the fugitives and city residents, and transfer their money into the government to seize the opportunity to grab goods.

This is why when they first came to Jiangyi, Yan Xing, Zhou Liang and others saw that the fleeing people bypassed Jiangyi one after another, and the residents of the city left the city in a hurry.

For them, although the white wave thief is like a wolf and a tiger, but the harsh government is fiercer than the tiger, and the officials in this city are more dangerous than the white wave thief, so they can't avoid fear and can only flee in a hurry.

And now that they heard that someone had announced their own crimes one by one, Fan Yong, as well as the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, Gong Cao, the chief bookkeeper and others, all of them all changed color, they were not only shocked that Yan Xing and others were able to investigate so many of their own crimes, but also frightened of the methods shown by Yan Xing, who had been lurking for many days and finally tried to see the dagger.

"Shou Jiangyi Chief, can you plead guilty?"

After Zhou Liang finished reading a lot of crimes of the county temple officials, Yan Xing looked at Fan Yong and the others in the hall whose faces had changed greatly, and added such a sentence at the end.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and suddenly someone burst into a sneer.

"It's ridiculous, it's all nonsense, according to the imperial decree, the lieutenant has no right to inquire about the affairs of the local county, even if the county temple is guilty, the county government should send the superintendent of mail and the department of the county to investigate in detail."

"The captain of the school is in Jiangyi, and he does not want to march to pacify the thieves, but he oversteps his position and holds the head of the county temple, and the one who is guilty is the school captain. Although the county magistrate is trying to defend Jiangyi, but the imperial court and the county government are majestic, how can they allow the erection to slander, and this place of the county temple is rampant! ”

Seeing that Yan Xing looked like a teacher asking for guilt and refusing to give up, Fan Yong, who was frightened, also became emboldened, simply tore his face, moved out the imperial decree and the banner of the Hedong County Government, and confronted Yan Xing head-on desperately.
