Chapter 156: Rich and Wealthy

When the city gate was about to be closed after dark, Jiang Feng and his party returned to the palace in a mighty way, and the guards guarding the gate looked at these people, except for the leader of a hundred households, the rest were dressed as caretakers. But when they came in, they were all bullish, and the guards seemed to be transparent.

A young guard guarding the city gate was suddenly a little angry, and when he was about to go over to look for trouble, he was dragged by a few old men behind him, and a person scolded in a low voice:

"Are you blind, you don't see the blood on their bodies, you go out at noon and you're still clean, go and look for death?"

The guard reacted at this time, and when he looked closely, there was a faint bloody smell in his nose, and he immediately took a few steps back, not daring to say anything.

In the second hall of the prefect's yamen, it was rare that the lights were still bright when it was so dark, and more than a dozen officials sat together with big eyes, just exchanging faces with each other and not daring to say anything. Tie Ding, who was standing inside and outside, didn't care at all that these people in front of him were officials of several grades.

It's just a vigilant guard with a big knife, even if it's out of Gong, someone will follow closely, and there are people there to guard it tightly, as for the officials, they have long been sent back by the prefect of the king in the name of rest. These officials have been officials for a long time, and they are naturally experts in observing words and feelings.

The sky was getting dark, and they believed that even if the daring hundred households wanted to attack Dongjiazhuang, less than two hours in the afternoon would not be enough. I didn't believe that Jiang Feng came back that night like he said, and I really thought that I was going to 'warm wine and kill Huaxiong'. But the officers were more and more frightened in their hearts, for when it was getting dark, and the house was lit by the servants who had lit the candles, the young men who were called guards were actually guarding them, and their faces were darkened as the sky became darker.

They kept looking at the sky outside, and then looked back at everyone inside, and at the same time touched the big knife in their hands, that kind of look was really creepy.

The hearts of every official were getting higher and higher, and suddenly they heard the noisy voices of horses and people coming out of the main hall of the yamen, and the expressions of the iron men guarding the officials changed, and several people greeted them, and a few people drew their big knives and stood in the room. Wang Zhifu swallowed a mouthful of spit involuntarily, why is the knife still out of the sheath, this atmosphere is not right.

There was a shout from the front:

"Brothers, the master is back!"

The expressions of several iron men in the room relaxed suddenly, and the big knives in their hands were inserted back into the scabbards, and almost at the same time, the dozen or so officials who were restless there all let out a long breath, and there was an inexplicable feeling of escaping the catastrophe in their hearts.

Jiang Feng pushed the door from the outside and walked in, threw a burden in his hand to the ground, and said nonchalantly:

"Dong Qianping, who connived at his relatives as thieves and ignored the laws of the Ming Dynasty, stubbornly resisted the imperial court and instructed his subordinates to kill the officials, and he was already cut off by me."

A few iron men in the room hurriedly went over to untie their burdens, and it was Dong Qianping's head, and it was too late to make it bloody, and these officials had already vomited in the morning. But I saw the scene on the ground. I think of drinking tea and drinking with this old man on weekdays, calling each other brothers and sisters, and being very affectionate. But now this person's head is in front of him, and his face is full of hideousness, and suddenly someone can't help but retch.

It was still the prefect Wang's reaction that was faster, squeezed out a smile on his face, and clenched his fists with the attitude of treating Shangguan:

"Lord Jiang has returned from suppressing bandits, it is really hard, the soldiers and civilians of Dengzhou must be remembered, I don't know if there is any damage to your subordinates?"

The surrounding officials reacted when they heard it, and secretly scolded themselves in their hearts, you look at the reaction of the Wang prefect's mansion, no wonder the other party is the prefect, as long as they can stand up, they all stand up, and the words of the stammering are unconscious, or they denounce Dong Qianping as a disaster in the township, or praise Jiang Feng for eliminating harm for the people, and also ask Jiang Feng's subordinates how the casualties are.

You must know that in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the only reliance of the generals was their personal soldiers and family members. Although the number of these people is very small, but when they fight, they are all one as ten, absolutely absolute main force, watching Jiang Feng take these people under his command to go out to exterminate the Dong family, presumably with his own soldiers, it must be quite concerned about casualties, and it seems that he is concerned about the key place when he asks about it.

When Jiang Feng thought of the dead Tie Ding, he felt extremely sorry in his heart, and his face was a little unsightly. Zhang Liang, who followed behind, saw that his master did not answer. Just there he said with a big grin:

"The three hundred nurses of the Dong family were all cut off by us, and one of our brothers was broken."

As for bringing a captive, Jiang Feng had already ordered it, so he didn't need to tell the people here, so he naturally didn't mention it, but he didn't expect that after he said this, the officials in the room who were still polite just now suddenly opened their eyes suddenly, with an extremely incredible expression.

Zhang Liang was taken aback by such a reaction, and after a while, he reacted, remembered what the master said, wiped the corners of his eyes very dry, and pretended to be excited:

"At that time, the official brother who followed us was stabbed to death by the spear of the leader of the Dong Bandit Courtyard at the door, and everyone was furious, and they were killed under the leadership of the master...... In this way, those people were beheaded. ”

At this time, Zhang Liang looked at the expressions of these people in front of him who were shining under the lamplight, and he was a little overwhelmed, Jiang Feng had already relieved his strength, and looked at the official's reaction with great interest, wondering why these people were so surprised?

This time, it was the general judge surnamed Dong who was the first to react, and said in a trembling voice there:

"The Dong family's guards were once more than a hundred of the hundreds of guards who dealt with Dengzhou's left and right guards, and they were not left behind at all, and they were called 'the Dong family's three hundred guards can be five thousand soldiers and horses', and more than two thousand horse bandits were killed by the Dong family's guards that year."

Speaking of this as if it was difficult to swallow, there he said:

"How many people are there this time, Lord Jiang, actually ...... ......"

The people around him also reacted from surprise, they all agreed with each other, Jiang Feng felt very incredible when he heard all this, did his subordinates already be so strong, when he fought with those nurses, he didn't feel how strong those nurses were.

Jiang Feng waved his hand, and several iron men who were guarding there immediately leaned over and ordered them to go out and get some food, and then went to call Zhao Xiucai to come over, and those people nodded.

"The bandits of the Dong family have been exterminated by me, how to get rid of the official documents and files of your lords?"

You can't be merciful when you kill someone, but you must complete the formalities afterwards, otherwise it will be difficult for someone to grab the handle, hearing Jiang Feng's question, the officials in the house looked at each other a few times, and the bitter lord who cried in the courtyard during the day, those stolen goods. This matter has already been decided, but officialdom pays attention to being alone, not offending others, and not causing trouble for yourself.

Although it is said that the Dong family has been destroyed, Dong Long is still working as a pusher in Jinan Mansion, who knows if there is any disaster behind this matter, and who knows if there are still people lurking outside the Dong family. Thinking of this, officials at all levels, from the prefect of the Wang Mansion to the lower levels, were just competing with each other with their eyes there.

Looking at these people in front of him who didn't want to bear any responsibility, Jiang Feng didn't make a sound, but Zhang Liang was a little impatient, and the big axe in his hand slammed heavily on the green brick. The officials were all beaten, and at this time, they suddenly remembered that there were more than 100 heads in the afternoon, as well as the big knife in Tie Ding's hand, and took a closer look at the two young people in front of them, Jiang Feng and Zhang Liang's bodies were also bloodstained.

Wang Zhifu cleared his throat and stood up, and said loudly:

"It's really a shame that there is such a horrific case under the rule of this government, since Lord Jiang has eliminated harm for the people, we have to do our part, I don't think you should go home tonight, let's finish the paperwork first, what do you think?"

On the ground, Dong Qianping's bloody head was there, the blade of the big axe was shining there, and there was something I couldn't understand, and everyone simply agreed, no book, no master, no servant. The helpers are not around, they are pampered on weekdays, and the officials of all grades who are not willing to work are unbelievably diligent, and in the room where the yamen deals with things, they quickly handle all the documents clearly, and the seals are all around, and they are covered after writing.

In fact, it is not complicated, that is, the process and judgment of the case and the specific process are clearly written, and then the list of pleadings and stolen goods is attached, and then reported to the yamen of the political envoy, and the above approves it.

After Jiang Feng picked it up and looked at it, he almost thought that these things were not done by himself, and the officials below, especially the Wang Governor's Mansion, breathed a long sigh when they saw the expression on Jiang Feng's face, thinking that this matter can be regarded as the end, how did this evil star come to Dengzhou Mansion, and I don't know how troublesome it will be to get along in the future, but if I deal with it today, I will deal with it.

The iron dings over there sent a few steaming steamed buns, all of them were hungry for a day, and the officials didn't care about anything else, they rushed up, everyone grabbed a few in their hands and gobbled them up there, and the prefect Wang over there looked at Jiang Feng happy, desperately swallowed the steamed buns in his mouth, and asked politely:

"Master Jiang, do you think everyone should go back and rest?"

"Wait a minute"

When the officials heard this, they were surprised again, could there be anything else?

Zhao Xiucai walked in with more than a dozen bulging envelopes in his hands, and smiled according to the name on the envelope.

"This time, Dong Bandit's family has a total of 20,000 acres of land, which is really a huge area and has done many evils."

Zhao Xiucai said slowly there, and some officials were stunned: Isn't it more than 100,000 mu, and after opening the envelope, I immediately understood in my heart that although the title deed was written in Dong Qianping's name, the official in charge of the land sale certificate was sitting in this room.

More than a dozen officials immediately got busy 'tirelessly', stamping and transferring the ownership of these land deeds, and the sad look on everyone's faces was swept away, and everyone smiled. Wang Zhifu looked at the five thousand taels of silver bills in the envelope, as well as the land title deed of eight thousand acres close to the prefecture, and suddenly thought in his heart:

"This Jiang Feng is really good, why didn't you come to Dengzhou earlier!!"

Some officials were even more unbearable there, thinking that the other landlords in Dengzhou City had similar bad deeds, so that this Lord Jiang was exterminated in the past, wouldn't it be a small fortune?

The saber rattling of the day was tense, and everyone was happy at night, and Jiang Feng was also quite neat, tens of thousands of taels of silver, tens of thousands of acres of land were given out, and there was not much to ask for, and everyone left a receipt. More than a dozen officials are not afraid, the other party's knives are all in front of you, and it is a simple matter to kill you. This kind of getting such a huge amount of money is nothing more than writing an IOU.

Everyone happily unloaded the receipt, stamped and signed, and the day's affairs were over, Jiang Feng left a sentence when he left, "Today's matter is offended, please eat and drink with the brothers of the yamen" and two hundred taels of silver, and then walked away.

After Jiang Feng left, his subordinates naturally would not stay in the yamen, and the yamen, which had been lively for a day, suddenly became deserted, and the dozen or so officials sitting in front of the bookcase, the prefect, and the same knowledge all the way to the main book below all looked at each other, and felt that today's events were incredible, but the heads and stolen goods in the courtyard, and the silver tickets and land deeds in their hands all showed that this matter was not a dream.

And it really happened, and after a while, the prefect stood up, cleared his throat and whispered:

"Today's matter, we also see what kind of person this Jiang Feng is, everyone has also benefited, how to do it in the future does not need to be said by this mansion, I think you all know the severity."

The sharp blade on the neck and the silver ticket title deed in his hand, who would not know the severity, the officials in this room naturally have a number in their hearts, and they all stood up and arched their hands and said:

"Naturally, they know how to do it!"

Jiang Feng and his entourage had already arrived at the inn where they were staying, and as soon as they entered the house, Su Guanyue and Liu Fangrui, who had not been seen for a long time, threw themselves into his arms and cried bitterly, and the little girl Su Guanxue happily circled around Jiang Feng, after all, since Jiang Feng and they met, it was the first time that they had been separated for such a long time.

Originally, it was supposed to be a bitter and short Spring Festival, but Jiang Feng showed Su Guanyue the account book seized in Dong's house, Su Guanyue was quite keen on this, but he didn't feel unkind, Su Guanyue, who was good at the way of wealth, was quite interested in the entries marked with sea characters on the account book, and said after a long time:

"Every time the silver taels come in and out, it is more than 5,000 taels, and there will be so much cash and goods business for a small landlord in Fucheng, could it be that this Dong family also has a business at sea!?"
