After discussing with Wu Dashao of Yanyuan last night, Wang Fulin asked Steward Zhao to come forward, ran around the city of Hangzhou all night, exchanged nearly 500 yuan of cash silver, that is, more than 400,000 copper coins, and almost wiped out the inventory of several money shops. But it is because of this huge amount of money that it plays a vital role in recruiting and surrendering people in the industry.

Therefore, except for Zhong Nanfeng and others, who finally followed Wang Fulin and Yan Yuan and his party out of Beixinguan, the others have been trapped for a long time. Although it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net, it is still much better than the consequences of people running away in a swarm. Because Yan Yuan personally inspected and repeatedly preached that he would deal with this matter in the spirit of leniency, only investigating the first evil, not coercing and obeying, and the feelings of hundreds of people were barely stable. But if you really want to talk about deterrence, it is because of the Qi family's army. Therefore, when he saw Zhong Nanfeng appear with Yan Yuan, a burst of angry shouts suddenly erupted around him.

"Zhong Nanfeng, you actually became a lackey of the government and deceived your own brothers!"

"What did you fight the Japanese in those years, you bastard!"

"Shut up all of them!" But this flurry of scolding was suddenly suppressed by Zhong Nanfeng's violent shouting, "The responsibility for this trouble, Lao Tzu made a clear statement in front of Yan Fuzun, Lao Tzu is all alone, and if he wants to fight and kill Lao Tzu, who dares to be dissatisfied?" ”

In an instant, there was silence all around. Although when he coaxed Zhong Nanfeng to negotiate with Yan Yuan, many leaders had this idea, but at this time, he really heard such an answer. Even if many of them are desperately thinking about how to escape at this time. How to beat people out. It was all silent. Of course, there may not be only one sin, but since the greatest sin is willing to be confronted, then most of the others can be mispunished or even exonerated. This means that they don't have to leave their hometowns, they don't have to be bandits, and they don't have to be incognito, all in all, Zhong Nanfeng's promise solves what they fear the most.

Seeing that all the people were silent. Zhong Nanfeng sat cross-legged on the ground at this time, although no one tied him up, and no messenger stepped forward to look at him, but he didn't dodge or dodge, as if he was ready to be killed, which still attracted a lot of cheers from all around. In the industry, people originally admired courage and martial arts the most, Zhong Nanfeng was already very famous in the past, but how can it compare to the current demeanor of taking responsibility alone? Even the brothers under his command who were separated from him before and were arrested after leaving the customs all felt that they were not with the wrong person. In comparison. The other leaders were inevitably in a state of amazement, until an official in a green robe stepped forward.

"This official Hangzhou Mansion pushes Huang Long. The matter of Beixinguan is too serious, so the trial will be concluded immediately before dusk today according to the severity of the crime. It's still the words that Yan Fuzun said before, only blame the first evil, and don't ask about the rest. The court heard it in person, and the official was the assistant. ”

Although it was this Huang Tuiguan who came over to reiterate the purpose on behalf of Yan Yuan, most people still breathed a sigh of relief. Especially if you can have a result before dusk, you don't have to be confined in this kind of place to blow cold wind at night, which is even more good news. But the next words of this Huang Tuiguan made them all chuckle in their hearts.

"This time, there are many riots in the lake villas, and the incident of hitting Beixinguan has alarmed the three divisions, and I am afraid that it will reach the sky in a few days. As for you, even if the Emperor is really exempted from punishment, if you dare to continue to do your old business in the lake villa, you will be dealt with strictly! ”

Huang Long, the official of Hangzhou Prefecture, was the same year as Ye Junyao and Shu Bangru, however, he was not dissatisfied with this official position. If Wang Fulin was here at the moment, he would definitely have a very common language with this person, because this Huang Tuiguan happened to be at the bottom of all the three hundred and twenty-nine jinshi in the second year of Longqing, and he happened to be the last in the exam! It's just that Huang Tuiguan also has a little regret about the court examination after the palace examination, because the benevolent brother Xu Qiuyu, who was ranked one above him and ranked three hundred and twenty-eight, was actually admitted to the Shujishi Pavilion!

But he has only envied others for a while, and since he took office as the governor of Hangzhou, he has also been conscientious. After Yan Yuan took office, he has always been sincerely assisted, so for today's big case, Yan Yuan actually went to the court in person, instead of pushing him or his subordinates, Huang Long is still very grateful and admired. At this moment, after hearing his warning, there was a small commotion, and he immediately shouted solemnly: "Fuzun is already an extrajudicial grace, if you can't take care of Fuzun's hard work, then in the future, as the official of Hangzhou Prefecture, you can only see one and catch one, and catch one strictly, don't blame me for not saying anything first!" ”

Huang Tuiguan's words are very heavy, but for the people below, it is certainly a relief to be able to get a light hair, but it is a heavy burden to lose their livelihood. For a moment, although there was silence all around, there was a heavy pressure in this silence. Zhong Nanfeng's eyelids also jumped, and he was about to angrily question the conditions that Yan Yuan agreed to him, but he saw a few brothers who had sent Yan Yuan's group out from Beixinguan with him before running over here. These people were silently allowed by Yan Yuan not to be questioned, but now they suddenly appeared, and he couldn't help but be shocked and angry, it was Huo Ran who got up.

"Why are you here?"

"Clock, we can't watch you alone!" The person at the head was Yang Wencai, who had built Zhong Nanfeng before and didn't have to look at Yan Yuan and his party. Although it turned out that his judgment was a little wrong, at this moment he sat down beside Zhong Nanfeng, and when the other brothers also sat around, he lowered his voice and said, "It's not that the little official Wang who entered Beixinguan with the Zun of the Shan Mansion came to us and mentioned something. Yan Fuzun agreed to your conditions, but the specific matter Wang Xiaoguan said that he was responsible, and he said that he would find a way for us. That's why I thought I'd bring you here and discuss it with you. ”

Zhong Nanfeng was so angry that he wanted to raise his arms and turn his face, but when he heard such an explanation, he was suddenly a little confused. That Xiao Xiucai was able to take the old pawn of the Qi family army as a guard, he had always had some guesses and fears about the identity of others, and he was caught off guard by someone before, but he was taken by others to let him go, so he looked down on people even more. Therefore, when he heard that Wang Fulin would actually have something to offer to his brothers, he couldn't help but throw away his anger and asked cautiously, "What did he say?" ”

Yang Wencai sounds like a scholar's name, but in fact, he has indeed read books for a few years, knows how to read, and can settle accounts, this is a rare talent in the industry, and he is Zhong Nanfeng's right-hand man. He sorted out what he had heard from Wang Fulin before, and motioned to the other brothers to look around and not let people listen to them, so he whispered: "Wang Xiaoguan said that so many people have been arrested this time, but why have some of them not been arrested?" That's because people have signboards, shops, and they look like a line, and they haven't been arrested this time, so of course they won't make trouble, unlike us who seem to show off their might, but in fact, no one can afford it. ”

Seeing Zhong Nanfeng's rigid face all of a sudden, Yang Wencai hurriedly said: "Zhong Tou, don't be angry, we were all very annoyed at that time, but what he said is not unreasonable, although these more than ten miles of lake villas, I am afraid that there are many of us, but if you really want to say that there are few people who can afford it." Those who are well mixed with each other have hung bright gold-lettered signboards, some of them are for those wealthy businessmen's bodyguards, and some are for those rich families, and they rarely eat in the market. We don't have such a way, we can only mess around at the bottom. So this time Zhong Tou is not afraid of being convicted of a crime, and the little official Wang said that for the sake of this chivalrous courage, he is willing to give us a way. ”

Is it really that good?

Zhong Nanfeng couldn't believe it. In his eyes, there are few rich people who are good to talk to, and they have too many eyes. What if he had lost his head this time, or had he been forced into hard labor or conscription, and what if he had not been there, and the brothers had been deceived? He clenched his fists, struggling in his heart, but he didn't want Yang Wencai to say another sentence that he could hardly believe.

"Wang Xiaoguan said, it doesn't matter if Zhong Er doesn't believe it now, he doesn't need to make a decision right away, he can wait for Dufu to finish hearing this case at dusk, and then make a decision."

Yan Yuan actually planned to cut through the chaos quickly and solve this sudden big case quickly, which many people didn't expect. At dusk, Governor Wu Lian's order arrived, and the real Qi family army of 500 people appeared on the stage, replacing the original imposters. The whole process moves quickly, and there is no room for people in the line to react. At the next public trial, Yan Yuan directly judged that the first thirteen people under the first evil Zhong Nanfeng should have been sentenced to death, but he took the initiative to surrender and did not hurt anyone, and the leader Zhong Nanfeng and the other two people were sent to Jimen to fill the army, and the remaining ten people were sent to the salt field for three years of hard labor!

The rest of the sinners, although pardoned and not held accountable, were given food and drink, and were responsible for repairing all the damaged facilities and wharves in Beixinguan, and repairing the city wall of Hangzhou, which had been in disrepair for a long time, anyway, a total of half a year of hard labor, and the matter was directly handed over to the official Huang Long. What's more, the bounties previously issued are still valid and cannot be recovered.

It is said that even those who are condemned as the chief evils hang their heads and sigh in frustration and are unlucky, but more often they find that the punishment is slight, the reward is in their arms, and the labor is labor, but at least they are still in the city, and the people who have work and food are relieved. As for the merchants who came to see the lively lake villas, they didn't dare to be too optimistic. Wait until the labor period of those little minions expires and then put them on the market, isn't it still the same as before?

As for Zhong Nanfeng, when he heard the word Jizhen, his head banged loudly, and he didn't care about anything else. He finally understood what Yang Wencai meant by what he said before, doesn't it mean that he, the leader of the battle who has beaten the Japanese bandits, will go to the command of Qi Jiguang Qi Dashuai, who has killed I don't know how many Japanese robbers and has a thunderous reputation?
