In the back hall of Huating County, Yang Zhen and the guests of honor of Nazhi County sat facing each other, and outside the hall were several brothers of Jinyiwei watching, so that those errand officials in the yamen did not dare to approach here. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

After carefully looking at the county magistrate in front of him, who was not too old or small, and his appearance was still a little delicate, Yang Zhen couldn't help but sigh: "The county magistrate is really so bold, I don't know where the name is?" ”

"Xiaguan Wenbin has seen Lord Yang Zhenfu, if you talk about boldness, you will not dare to compare with you no matter what. You dared to fight with your direct boss a few years ago, and when you arrived in the capital, you fought with Feng Bao, who was in power for a while, compared to you, what is my doing? The county magistrate said, glancing at Yang Zhen with a smile.

Yang Zhen didn't expect that the other party still knew a lot about himself, and couldn't help but be stunned: "Lin Zhixian really has a heart, and even I know these things so clearly." ”

"Not only these, but Yang Zhenfu's various actions in Shanxi are also known to the officials." Speaking of this, Yu Wenbin smiled: "This is all mentioned by my friend Zhong Yu in the same department. ”

"It turns out that Your Excellency and Lord Zhong are friends?" Yang Zhen suddenly showed a little smile on his face when he heard this, no wonder a small Qipin county commander could know so many things about himself, if it was just the matter of the battle between the capital and Feng Bao, after all, that matter is now known to the world, but the past in Hangzhou before is not something he can understand.

"I'm ashamed, at that time, Xia Guan only won a three-rank fellow jinshi, and after several years of stumbling, he was able to enter the official. Until now, he is still only mixed with a seven-grade Zhi County, and my friend is already one of the few high-ranking officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Although he said that, there was no depression, chagrin or envy on his face, and he looked very indifferent.

Yang Zhen smiled and said: "In fact, the level of official position is only temporary, a good official like you in Lin Zhixian who is willing to think about the people will always have a bright day." ”

"Really? Then it will be more to inherit Yang Zhen's auspicious words. Lin Xianling's expression was neither happy nor sad, and he replied lightly.

With Zhong Yu's relationship, the distance between the two was easily shortened a lot, and Yang Zhen no longer went around in any circles, but immediately said his intention: "This official came here this time to investigate the impeachment of the Xu family in Lin Zhi County. ”

"Your Majesty has seen my impeachment?" Wei Wenbin was shocked at this time, and his body shook and almost bounced off the chair.

Seeing that the other party didn't know about this, Yang Zhen frowned slightly, but it soon became clear. Although he has an old friend of Zhong Yu as a high-ranking official, it is impossible for Zhong Yu to talk to him about the situation in the DPRK and China. Not to mention that the emperor still issued a decree this time, Zhong Yu himself knew that there was such a thing, and Lin Zhi County, who was thousands of miles away, naturally knew the details.

After thinking about this, he nodded and said, "Yes, this is the reason why I said that Lin County made you bold before." The Xu family's protégés and former officials in the court are still everywhere, and you dare to impeach one after another, this move alone is not something that a brave person can do. ”

"Huh...... Yang Zhenfu is too famous, and the lower officials can't afford it. Yu Wenbin smiled reluctantly, and only said after a little hesitation: "In fact, before coming here to serve as the county commander, although I had the intention to do something for the people during my tenure, I never thought of being an enemy of the Xu family who had been entrenched here for many years. It was only later that I encountered some changes, which made me have this thought, and now I am in the same water as the Xu family. ”

"Oh? But what happened to give you such courage? Yang Zhen was unconsciously curious. He is indeed very strange, as a small Qipin county commander and such a protégé of the Xu family are all over the world, and in Huating County, he is even a behemoth that covers the sky with one hand as an enemy, what kind of stimulation does this have to make him make up his mind so much, and he has never wavered.

Originally, Lin Zhixian wanted to ask Yang Zhen about the details of the investigation, but seeing that the other party suddenly asked like this, he also held it in his heart for too long, and he urgently needed to find someone to confide in, so he told the story after a period of silence: "It was more than half a year ago, Xia Guan was just transferred here, and something happened after entering Huating County......

More than half a year ago, Yi Wenbin came to Huating County with two relatives, originally just wanted to be the county commander in An'an, and after a few years, see if he could be promoted. Although according to the rules of the imperial court, officials like him who were born in the same jinshi always had some stumbles in promotion, but his previous official resume was not bad, so he had the opportunity to be transferred to Jiangnan as an official.

But this idea was shaken not long after entering the territory of Huating County. Because he saw an unbelievable scene - in front of a village, several big men like wolves and tigers were chasing a family of four with sticks, it was a young couple and two young children who could just walk.

Although there were many villagers around, they did not express anything except a little sympathy in their eyes. However, Yu Wenbin, who was still upright and was the new county magistrate of the county, couldn't bear it, so he immediately brought two relatives to come forward to stop this atrocity.

"Stop! The blue sky and the white sun, under the bright and bright world, you dare to do such a heartbreaking and crazy act, is it really that I have no royal law in the Ming Dynasty? In his shouting, several big men stopped the movement of their hands, but looked at him with strange eyes.

After a while, they smiled and said, "You scholar is a foreigner, don't you even dare to intervene in the affairs of our Xu family?" If you are interested, hurry up and get out of grandpa, or you will be killed! As he spoke, he wanted to do it again.

Before coming to take office, Yu Wenbin already knew the situation in Huating County and how powerful the Xu family was here. He used to fight the idea of not violating the river water with Xujiajingshui, but at this time, he realized that his previous idea was too naïve, they were rampant and domineering in the county, can he not have friction and conflict with the county order?

Seeing the pitiful appearance of the two children who were only three or four years old, as well as the scars on the young couple, Yu Wenbin gritted his teeth and revealed his identity: "I am the new magistrate of Huating County, in front of me, you don't want to hurt people at will." If you don't leave, follow me to the county government to talk! ”

I thought that after showing his official authority, these guys would inevitably be afraid and retreat, but I didn't expect that when I heard him say this, several men even showed a disdainful sneer: "It turns out that you are a new county official, no wonder you dare to take care of this matter." But you don't want to inquire, is our Xu family something that you can manage as a mere Qipin county order? With that, they pounced on them again, and the sticks in their hands struck the poor family of four again.

Even after half a year, when talking about this incident, Yu Wenbin can still remember the miserable scene of screams and blood flying at that time, which made his whole face a little distorted: "...... In this way, they killed this family of four in front of me......"

It was Yang Zhen, a murderer who had countless lives on his hands, and after hearing these words, his cheeks trembled: "They are even children...... These guys are really ruthless! ”

"This is a human, it's clearly a beast!" Yu Wenbin said angrily. After a while, he continued: "Afterwards, when I came to the county office, I naturally refused to let the family of four die in vain, so I took advantage of the momentum of the new official to take down these murderers and bring them to justice.

"But I didn't expect that after I gave this order in the county government, not only did no one receive the order, but everyone came to persuade me, telling me not to go against the Xu family, and said that this kind of thing is extremely common, and these people made mistakes and offended the Xu family, so they were punished!

"Naturally, I couldn't accept such a result, so I personally ordered to bring someone to Xu's house to ask for someone, and as a result, they really asked me to bring it back to the county government. But before I could interrogate them, the next day the murderers disappeared from prison. And this is clearly the people in the county government who let them go privately, but when I want to investigate it again, no one admits it it at all......

"Later, I tried my best to find out all kinds of evidence of the Xu family's crimes, hoping to eliminate this big trouble for the county, but I couldn't do anything. On the contrary, my two cronies also died without explanation...... I swore in front of their corpses that unless I die, I must eradicate the scourge of the Xu family from Huating County! It's a pity that to this day, there is still no effect, except for being called a madman, and you can only get some bullets that have no effect. In the end, Lin Zhixian let out a long sigh, which contained infinite resentment and helplessness.

Listening to the other party's story, Yang Zhen had roughly understood the motive of Yu Wenbin for doing all this, and he also believed how firm he was in the matter of being an enemy of the Xu family. He looked at the other party's eyes, and suddenly said: "Lin Zhixian, you don't have to be so depressed, everything you have done is not completely in vain, at least your latest bullet has entered the capital, and it has been seen by His Majesty, and he even ordered me to come and find out." And I, I will definitely not let the Xu family continue to be as arrogant as before! ”

"You...... Are you really willing to get rid of this scourge for our Huating County? Hearing this, Yan Wenbin's body shook violently, his eyes looked at Yang Zhen fixedly, and asked in a trembling voice. Since he became an enemy of the Xu family, he has been fighting alone, and he really hopes for a helping hand.

Yang Zhen looked back at Yan Wenbin with a firm gaze, and said in an affirmative tone: "Naturally, it's true." And, long before I was here, I was already doing all of this. I came to the county office today, just to hope to talk to you about joining forces with Lin County, you won't disappoint me, right? ”
