Suddenly, he encountered a major case of the disappearance of 50 or 60 children in Jinshan Temple, and Xiaoyuan's one-day trip to Jinshan came to an abrupt end.

The group was led by Qin Zhan, with two or three hundred people, got off Jinshan and took a ferry back to Jingkou, and did not stop, but went directly to the gate of Zhenjiang Mansion.

Fang Yuan ordered two or three hundred villagers to sit directly at the door of the government office, blocked the Zhenjiang government office tightly, and ordered Chigutai to go to the government to beat the drum and voice grievances.

Chigutai violently waved his arms and beat the drum, and suddenly the drum shook loudly, straight into the sky, and the surrounding Zhenjiang people surrounded one after another, and in less than a quarter of an hour, there were hundreds of people.

More than a dozen officials came out of the yamen, and when the leader saw these villagers who had come to beg for the missing children, he looked disgusted, so he stepped forward with a waist knife to drive people away.

Qin Zhan stopped in front of the villagers, and angrily reprimanded the officials who stepped forward and said, "The people are wronged, and the Zhenjiang Yamen not only does not make the decisions, but also drives people out by force, is there any royal law?" ”

Seeing that there was still someone who dared to be the first bird, the head of the government officer waved his waist knife and gestured in front of Qin Zhan, "Dare to come to the government office, are you looking for death?" ”

Qin Zhan looked at the head of the government without fear, and said coldly, "I only ask you, the people beat the drum and voice their grievances, this case, will the Zhenjiang Mansion accept it or not?" ”

The head of the official saw that he had an extraordinary bearing, and the people accompanying him were all calm, Chigutai, and a few brocade guards were even stronger, and at first glance they were capable of beating at least ten people by one person. With the vision that he has been a servant for many years, he really can't see the details of this line of people, and in line with the principle of prudence, he secretly decided that it would be better to make less trouble.

The head of the government glanced at Song Qing on the side, this is a person who can be bullied, and suddenly became angry again, and shouted, "Song Qing, you have resigned for two months, and now you have brought people back to the government to make trouble, do you still want the fame on your body?" ”

Fame is the lifeblood of a scholar, and he has studied hard for ten years, in order to be such a fame, otherwise why would Fan Jinzhong go crazy?

Song Qing also let go, raised his head and said, "Even if you don't want to be famous, I also want to seek justice for the villagers, let the prefect Wang Bingjian, and the same knowledge Zhang Wanzhong come out to give the villagers an explanation, the lives of dozens of children, Zhenjiang Mansion still doesn't care." ”

The head of the official looked around, and there were more and more people watching, and they were all talking about it. Such a stalemate also ruined the reputation of the yamen, and when he arrived in front of the prefect Wang Bingjian, he was about to be scolded again, so he ordered everyone to wait at the gate of the yamen, and immediately entered the yamen to report.

After a while, a middle-aged literati wearing a black veil and wearing an official uniform, escorted by several officials, went out of the yamen, and when he saw Song Qing, he shouted loudly, "Song Qing, if you come to the government to make trouble again, the prefect will immediately revoke your reputation for raising people, do you believe it or not." ”

Song Qing saw that the person who came was Zhenjiang Prefect - Wang Bingjian, and he was also angry, and said angrily, "Let's reform!" Leather! Today I have to ask for an explanation for the villagers. ”

The villagers cried and shouted, shouting injustice, asking the Zhenjiang government to come forward to track down the whereabouts of the child.

The prefect Wang Bingjian coldly shouted at the villagers, "Zhenjiang Mansion is peaceful every year, where did the disappearance of the child come from?" Your child only occasionally gets lost, and goes home to wait for a few days, and it's not too late to report it when you don't return. ”

This Zhenjiang prefect Wang Bingjian did not solve such a big case, but tried his best to cover it up, whitewash the peace, and he was undoubtedly a faint official and a mixed official, Fang Yuan was furious when he heard it, and he glanced at Qin Zhan.

Qin Zhan got Fang Yuan's hint and said coldly, "It's been half a year since the villagers reported the case, they really got lost by accident, they should have gone home a long time ago, and the Zhenjiang Mansion still didn't investigate this case?" If you find out which step, you should always give an answer. ”

Wang Bingjian's gaze swept over Qin Zhan, who took the lead in making trouble, and when he saw this person's demeanor, he was usually the master of a commanding person, but he didn't see his identity, and couldn't help frowning and said, "Your Excellency?" ”

Qin Zhan snorted coldly and said, "A businessman who walks on his feet, seeing that the road is uneven, asked a few more words. ”

Dare to come to the gate of the yamen and shout, where will there be a passing foot merchant?

Wang Bingjian secretly became suspicious, recently Yangzhou City came to the princess of the capital, Nan Zhili went to congratulate the officials are not a few, it is difficult to ensure that there are not a few court officials to visit the Jingkou across the water, sightseeing.

At this juncture when many officials gather, more things are better than less, in case political enemies take the handle and affect their careers, it will be more than worth the loss.

Wang Bingjian had the idea of carefully sailing the ship for ten thousand years, and before he saw the identity of Qin Zhan and his party, his tone softened a little, "There are many inconveniences at the gate of the yamen, and I also invite your Excellency to speak in the palace." ”

Qin Zhan laughed and said, "There is nothing to say to people, it is not me who wants to ask for an explanation, but these villagers, what is the secret that needs to be avoided by the villagers?" ”

Wang Bingjian was commanded by him in public, his face was blue and red, and he barely squeezed out a smile, "This case is being investigated, I can promise the villagers that once there is a result, I will immediately send a government official to inform me, and it will be dispersed today!" ”

He was using the usual procrastination trick in officialdom again, Fang Yuan would not give him this opportunity at all, he walked forward quickly, and said in a cold voice, "Lord Prefect, this case can't be investigated by the Yamen, but we have checked our eyebrows, I heard that it was the Haisha Gang who did it, but is there such a thing?" ”

Wang Bingjian met Fang Yuan's cold gaze, his heart trembled, this person seemed to be familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while, the oppressive momentum on his body was stronger than Qin Zhan before, he didn't dare to look at Fang Yuan, his eyes dodged and said, "Sea Sand Gang? What Seasand Gang? The prefect has never heard of this Haisha Gang! ”

He summoned the head of the government as if in disguise, and deliberately asked, "Lao Liu, have you heard of the Haisha Gang?" ”

Liu Yayi shook his head knowingly, and began to act with him, "I haven't heard of it!" ”

Wang Bingjian coughed and said, "Since someone reported that this Haisha gang committed the crime, why don't you go and verify it, is there such a gang, who is the first culprit, and where is the nest?" ”

Liu Yashi nodded and said, "Yes, yes, the little one will send someone to check immediately." ”

Wang Bingjian angrily reprimanded, "Send someone, you go and check it out in person!" The prefect will also personally supervise the handling of this case, the so-called people are the most important, the community is secondary, the monarch is light, the people's affairs are no small matter, and there must be no perfunctory responsibility. Any gang that dares to commit a traitor and harm the people, and will not tolerate it if it finds one and eliminates the other! ”

Liu Yajun patted his ass and said, "The prefect is a good official who loves the people like a son!" ”

Fang Yuan looked coldly at Wang Bingjian and Liu Yazhi, who sang and harmonized, and performed in public, and laughed angrily, "The prefect is a good official!" Since the prefect personally supervised the case, I believe that the Haisha Gang, who was a traitor, will not be able to escape, and there should be a result within three days, right? ”

He was too lazy to fight with the prefect Wang Bingjian, so he directly gave Wang Bingjian a three-day deadline, and if the Zhenjiang Mansion did not say anything after three days, Fang Yuan would come to ask for an explanation.

Wang Bingjian was respected as a dignified prefect, but Fang Yuan, a boy of unknown origin, solved the case within a time limit, and felt that his face was gloomy. Just wanted to be angry in public, and directly tore his face with Fang Yuan, but when he saw Fang Yuan's handsome and cold face, his heart suddenly burst again, and his perennial sense of officialdom told him that the person in front of him was really a dangerous person.

Wang Bingjian thought about it, his face was cloudy, his eyes flickered, and he finally chose a cautious defensive strategy, "After three days, the prefect will give an answer to the villagers." ”

"What an old fritter, this can be endured!"

Fang originally wanted to provoke Wang Bingjian, a bastard official, and then used the topic to get angry and ripped off his official skin. But in the face of Fang Yuan's ruthless aggressiveness, Wang Bingjian still chose to forbear and retreat, worthy of being an officialdom, and he knew the essence of mixed officialdom to carefully sail the ship of ten thousand years.

Since there was no way to be mad, Fang Yuan could only let him go for the time being, "Lord Prefect, then wait for the good news!" ”

Fang Yuan left these words, and led the group and the people who shouted grievances to leave.

Wang Bingjian looked at the back of Fang Yuan and his party, called Liu Yashi, and said coldly, "Old Liu, go and check!" ”

Liu Yashi stepped forward to curry favor and said, "Lord Prefect, I will immediately go to check the entrance of the Haisha Gang in Jingkou!" ”

Wang Bingjian turned his head sideways and glared at him angrily, "What Haisha Gang are you looking for?" Immediately draw a portrait of the leader and take him to Yingtianfu to find those high-ranking officials to identify and identify him. There is only a three-day deadline, and the identity of this person cannot be found, and the black pot of collusion with the Haisha Gang to be a traitor is up to you! ”

In his opinion, the affairs of the Haisha Gang are not a problem, and they will not be able to make great contributions if they are suppressed, and there is a reason to shirk if they are not suppressed. The only thing that can make him jealous is Fang Yuan's identity, if it is verified that Fang Yuan is just pretending, there is no backstage, and after three days, he will be counted with Fang Yuan's old and new accounts; If it turns out that Fang Yuan is a big man, then he must first prepare a temporary worker to be a scapegoat.

Liu Yashi was so frightened that his face was bloodless, the Haisha Gang not only smuggled smuggled salt, but also robbed the folk children, if he carried this big crime of colluding with the Haisha Gang, ten heads would not be enough to cut off!

Liu Yashi asked embarrassedly, "Lord Prefect, forgive Xiaoxiao's clumsiness, I really don't see which of them is the leader?" ”

Wang Bingjian was so angry that he kicked over, kicking Liu Yashi and falling to the ground, only then did he say coldly, "If you say that you are a dog's eye, you are a dog's eye, and you can't even see who the owner is!" Of course, it's the one who gave me a three-day deadline, the one with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, you think it's the fat man? Very foolish! ”

Liu Yashi turned over and patted the dust on his body, "Yes, yes, the little one will go immediately." ”

Wang Bingjian said again, "Send a few more people to keep an eye on that group of people, if there is any movement, come and report to me at any time, understand?!" ”
