"What a wicked man." Wen Jin said angrily.

In Nangang City, only the Yao family can make the head catcher refuse to accept gifts, and only they can drive the government to act for the tiger, Wen Jin was silent for a while, and asked her husband: "What should we do now?" ”

Qian Jun smiled: "They are forcing me to show my identity." ”

"Alas, the people have been in office for a long time, and I have forgotten who you are." Wen Jin patted his chest embarrassedly, "I thought just now that we had to go to the court and have a heated argument with the officials so that we wouldn't be thrown into prison." ”

"Huh!" Qian Jun smiled, "If I can be reasonable, I might as well talk to those officials about the laws of the imperial court, but I am afraid that our family will be directly thrown into prison, and then die like that without knowing it, and finally have a bad reputation for wanton killing servants." ”

Wen Jin also thinks so, and now that Qian Jun has only one way to disclose his identity.

The name of Xiao Guogong's son-in-law is far from deterring the Yao family, but will cause them to be more crazy persecution, and this idea flashed in Wen Jin's mind, and it was automatically abandoned.

Seeing that Qian Jun didn't buy it at all, let alone obediently follow him to the yamen, he asked people to move a chair, sat down in the courtyard in a big way, and suddenly became angry: "Do you want to rebel?" ”

"We can't afford to wear such a big hat!" Wang Jie had already received Qian Jun's signal, but he still saluted first and then said: "The matter is obvious, someone wants to harm our master, you don't help track down the murderer, but you want to bring the bitter master to the yamen, why did you come?" ”

"This is what it takes to solve the case, you know what." The head-catcher said in a fierce voice.

"Need to solve the case? Can we also pay for silver insurance? Why won't you say yes? Is this also what is needed to solve the case? ”

"You foreigners, who will vouch for it?"

"How do you know no one is willing to vouch?"

The head catcher gritted his teeth: "I want to see who will vouch for you now!" ”

Xie Qixian and Fu Chengwa's family were waiting outside the courtyard, just now something happened, Wang Jie was afraid that the other party would let the master go to the official office, and he had already sent someone to invite, followed by these two families, as well as a few righteous men who confronted the head catcher that day, most of them were homeless and mouthless, although they were a little easy and tired on weekdays, but they were chivalrous and liked to fight unevenly, after that incident, Qian Jun had instructed Wang Jie and Chen Kai to invite them to eat and drink and play, and they became good friends.

The head catcher didn't expect Wang Mingmen to turn around and bring back a group of locals, including the chief of this area, his face darkened, and he asked those people suspiciously: "Are you willing to vouch for a foreigner?" He's a criminal, and you're going to sit with him. ”

Wang Jie picked up on the side: "Pay attention to the wording of your words, our master is not a criminal, if you want to threaten the guarantor, forcibly detain our master to the yamen, be careful that you can't eat and walk around." ”

"Can't eat and walk around? I don't know how you can get me going! The headcatcher smiled cruelly, "You are suspected of spending money to bribe your neighbors to ask for bail, and together with them, you will be escorted to the yamen and wait for the trial of the county magistrate." ”

Among the several guarantors, some were afraid of changing their faces, but most of them were angry: "If you do this, is there still a royal law?" Xie Qixian asked.

"We are the king's law, whoever dares to resist arrest will be punished as a rebel, and they will all be taken away!"

At this moment, Wang Hugu, who was guarding the door, sent someone to report the news: "Master, wife, the garrison has surrounded the house." ”

"Toast and don't eat and drink!" The head catcher snorted coldly and arrogantly kicked Xie Qixian, who was closest to him.

Wang Jie was furious and slapped the head of the shop: "Open your dog's eyes wide, do you know who our master is?" Dare to go wild here, I don't want to live anymore. After speaking, he couldn't help but say, ripped open the collar of the head catcher, and pulled out a money bag from his chest, "You accepted bribes, bent the law for bribes, and framed good people, we will send you to the government for punishment!" ”

The head catcher trembled with anger, he had always accused others, and he had never met someone who was accused: "You, you rebel!" ”

"What else would you do besides buttoning up a big hat?" Wang Jie said as he made his move, and Chen Kai took the opportunity to come over, put down the head catcher, and tied it up.

A few catchers were dumbfounded, standing aside at a loss, they didn't understand how an ordinary businessman could have such courage.

Now, the first thing they think of is that this person surnamed Qian is dying, and they want to rebel, and then, they think of the surname Qian, in Jurong, but the highest existence, it won't be this surname Qian is a royal noble, who came here for a private visit?

A slightly older catcher whispered his thoughts, and the rest were so frightened that they were drenched in cold sweat, their faces were pale, and they wanted to kneel and beg for mercy with trembling, but they were afraid of making a mistake in judgment and losing their faces, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

A few guarantors were also a little scared, after all, they were ordinary people, and they had always been shorter than officials, where had they ever seen a head catcher tied up? What's more, the door has been blocked by the garrison outside, could it be that this person really wants to rebel? Several people were also flustered, their faces were pale, they had not been in contact with Qian Jun for a long time, but they just felt that this person was righteous and capable, but he definitely had no intention of forming a gang to rebel.

It was Xie Qixian who came back to his senses first: "Our owner will never be the kind of person who doesn't know the seriousness, he is really wronged today, maybe he wants to make a big deal out of it, so that those dog officials don't dare to act rashly." ”

"Well, it must be so, those dog officers are really excessive, and they actually came with troops from the garrison." These words were said crookedly, and several of the guarantors turned pale again, and they had no courage to confront them, let alone the soldiers.

Don't say that ordinary people, even the famous Xiucai met the soldiers, they couldn't explain it clearly, several people were muttering together, and they saw the garrison coming.

What is the situation, the guard has a flickering look in his eyes, a look of panic, and his usual majesty?

A few ordinary people couldn't understand it, but those few officials were different, and they immediately determined that the speculation just now was correct, and when the garrison man knelt in front of Qian Jun, he also knelt down.

The garrison's head slammed on the ground, and there was a bang: "The subordinate has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, he collided with the general, and he asked the general to forgive him!" ”

Qian Junyi stretched out his hand: "You bring the troops over, do you have a marching order from the imperial court?" ”

Private soldiers, that is a capital crime, the garrison suddenly had a cold sweat on his face, and said in the future: "The prefect sent someone to inform, and there is no military order!" ”

Seeing that Qian Jun waved his hand, as if he wanted to take him down, the garrison hurriedly said: "The people sent by the prefect came with me, and I have a witness." ”

Jurong's army had such a rule, that is, in order to maintain law and order, the magistrate could mobilize an army of less than 100 people without asking for instructions.

"Go, bring the man!"

The garrison gave an order to the pro-soldiers who were kneeling behind them, and two pro-soldiers ran out, and in less than a tea time, the two came back with pale faces: "Master Mo ran away." ”

The garrison sweated like rain, his mouth smacked a few times, and he kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Please be aware of the general, the subordinate is indeed here on order, not to transfer troops privately." ”

Seeing Qian Jun looking at him coldly and not speaking, he was even more flustered, and he could only kowtow vigorously to justify.

"It's not the first time you've colluded with the prefect, right? What other bad things have you done before? Qian Jun suddenly asked.

The guard was stunned for a moment, lowered his head and did not speak.

"That means you're going to take care of today's events?"

The garrison trembled, this is a capital crime, a hundred deaths, he has worked hard for so many years, and it is easy to have the current wealth and glory, he doesn't want to be someone else's scapegoat.

Qian Jun saw that he lowered his head, but the fingers on the ground were hooked back and straightened, proving that he was calculating, so he didn't push him so quickly.

Jurong Dynasty has experienced five dynasties in the world, emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts, and the generals will eat empty salaries at most, as long as they do not lose their camps, most of them will not commit capital crimes, Qian Jun expected that this person would not be blackened for the magistrate.

Sure enough, after Qian Jun drank a cup of tea, the garrison said in a low voice: "The prefect Yu Wen has only transferred troops in the winter of the past few years, and at that time, there was a village where the people refused to serve the labor, and led the troops to suppress it. ”

"Why not?"

"In the past few years, in order to repair bridges and pave roads, men over the age of fifteen and under fifty-five in Nangang City have to do fifty or sixty days of hard labor, and they can't stand it."

"That part of the bridge was built, and that road was paved?"

The garrison shrank for a moment: "The road to Lao Heling and the bridge to the river are repaired." ”

"Laoheling is densely populated, the city is luxuriant, and the roads in Nangang City are not passable, does it bring a lot of inconvenience to the people?"

The guard bowed his head deeply: "No. ”

"Then, you say, why build a road to the barren mountains and mountains?"

“……”

"Don't you say yes? Well, today's matter will fall on you. ”

"General—" the garrison prayed, "I don't know, it's all Lord Yu's opinion, and the lowly position is just an order." ”

"Huh? Is it? ”

A gentle word, it seems that there can be a thousand weights, he has never seen such a coercive person, it is really a royal noble, extraordinary, the garrison is almost paralyzed to the ground, and obediently said: "Old Heling is the ancestral graveyard of Yao Zhongtang's family, and Lord Yu is here to tie up Yao Zhongtang." ”

"Does Yao Zhongtang know?"

"This, I don't know, Lord Yu used to be the magistrate of Dongcheng County, Nangang City, and in front of him was the prefect Jiang, this road was built for four years, and Lord Yu and Lord Jiang were both promoted to officials."

"Master Jiang?"

"Well, it's the current Jiangzuo Patrol Salt Road Daotai."

"Oh?" Qian Jun smiled knowingly, it was a fat difference, fat and oily, no wonder Yu Wen wanted to stammer the Yao family so much.

Sui Hu Lao Du, who followed Qian Jun, is still an all-rounder who can write and martial arts, his martial arts are good, and his writing is also good, as soon as Qian Jun began to interrogate, he took a pen and started to make a record, at this time, he let Qian Jun read the transcript, and then handed it to Wang Shoubei and asked him to sign.

By this time, Wang Shoubei was completely unable to control himself

Besides, the prefect's staff, Lao Mo Fei, ran back and reported to his master Yu Wen: "I have encountered hard stubble." ”

"Who's coming?"

"I don't know, Wang Shoubei looked at a waist card, and immediately softened, and stood behind him, only thinking that the waist card was ebony and gold-inlay, very luxurious and exquisite, but he didn't see what was on it, but he just felt that the person was extraordinary."

"Even if it's a patrol for a private visit to Weifu, it's not as big as Yao Zhongtang, what is Wang Shoubei afraid of?" Yu Wen couldn't figure it out, "Could it be that it's someone from the military department?" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible, how could the patrol press show his waist card, and only the people of the military department were like that.

"Lao Mo, you ran back like this, you miscalculated, if you are a member of the military department, it will be a big crime for the king to guard and transfer troops privately."

"Huh? The military department's? What is the military department doing here? I still think it's a chincha, maybe it's the guards around the emperor or something, so I have a waist card, maybe it's which prince came down. ”

"No, the prince trusted by the emperor is only Prince Ren, the old prince has not been in good health all these years, and he can't even go to the court, how can he come to our remote corner from thousands of miles away?"

The two couldn't guess, Lao Mo didn't think it was from the military department, he didn't want to go back to testify for Wang Shoubei, Yu Wen couldn't make up his mind, he was not a capable person, but he hugged the right thigh, and he soared to become the prefect, and his character is the kind of Wu Dalang who opened a shop, and he can't tolerate a master, and several staff members are also mediocre, and the only thing that can show his hand is to pat on the back, one is better than the other, not only patting him flutteringly, but also making several masters of the Yao family tight.

"What now?" After going around for a long time, the two returned to this issue, Yu Wen gathered several staff members, and everyone agreed that they should immediately tell the second master of the Yao family and ask him to decide.

The Yao family was also in chaos at this time, Zhang Mao didn't expect that only an unrelated person died by poisoning, and even the whole process of the matter could not implicate Qian Jun and Wen Jin, he thought that in this way, he would force Qian Jun to go to the yamen, take the opportunity to get rid of this person, but he miscalculated again.

If Qian Jun faked his death, he would be a bully, Yao Guangyuan saw that the emperor did not know, so he expected that Qian Jun would not easily expose his true identity, before Yu Wen arrived at Yao's house, the Yao family who was investigating at the door of Qian's house had already run back to report the news, Yu Wen couldn't think of what that waist card was, Zhang Maosui was not so stupid: "This king is guarded, and he obediently went in to die?" He didn't want to think about it, just set up a crime of plotting against him, and put that yard of people on the spot to correct the law, wouldn't he understand the matter? What a fool! ”

"Master Zhang thinks, what should we do now?" Yao Zhiyuan clenched his fists and asked.

"We must not let that kid hold the prefect, then we have no chance of winning, the top priority is to find a way to get rid of him!"

"Yu Wen will never take refuge in him, that's our people." Yao Wen, the third elder of the Yao family, said from afar.

"Yu Wen has no talent, so he can't count on it at all, but it's a pity that this king is guarded and has soldiers in his hands-" Speaking of this, Zhang Mao struck with both hands, "Yes, he is a businessman, I heard that the business is very large, why not let the city send troops to arrest people?" If he dares to evade taxes, he must dare to accept the consequences. ”

"Tax evasion?" Yao Wenyuan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, "Wonderful, who can tell that he didn't evade taxes?" ”

"Without further ado, send someone to the city as soon as possible."

Qian Jun didn't do business with foreign countries at all, and he couldn't fight with the city's eight poles, so Zhang Mao then wanted to use this to frame him, because the city's shipmaster in Nangang City was the Yamen controlled by the Yao family the most, and there were still hundreds of soldiers there, and his actions were not restricted by the Ministry of War.

The reason why Zhang Maosui used Wang Shoubei at the beginning was to charge Qian Jun with violently resisting the law, but he didn't expect that Wang Shoubei was not his person, and he was directly intimidated by Qian Jun's prestige and lost his effect.

Zhang Mao discussed with the Yao family, made decisions and transferred people to the city, although it was very fast, it took more than three hours, the traffic in this era is a carriage, and Nangang City is not big, and it takes time for them to come and go.

Qian Jun took advantage of this time to subdue the Wang garrison: "Take my brand, you send someone to the barracks and transfer another 200 people to be my guards, if anyone dares to forcibly break in, kill them!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Shoubei replied respectfully.

"Let Wang Jie help you."

"Yes!" Wang Shoubei knew that he had been reduced to a puppet, Wang Jie was not only the one who supervised him, but also the one who made the final decision, and he didn't dare to have a word of complaint.

Qian Jun knew that the Yao family would not give up, and at this moment, he could not be passive in defense, he had to take the initiative to attack. The Yao family is the head snake of the land, controlling the government, all actions, can have a high-sounding reason, Qian Jun wants to start, must be more reasonable than them, just now the king guarded over, Qian Jun already knew that there would be a big fight today, so he mobilized the people who were lurking in Nangang City earlier, and soon knew that the prefect Yu Wen ran to Yao's house first, and then returned to the prefect's yamen in a gloomy manner, and he had an idea in his heart.

When the head catcher Mahan learned of Qian Jun's identity, he also relented and expressed his willingness to work for him. These little people were originally grass on the wall, although they didn't dare to provoke the Yao family, but in the hands of Qian Jun, they didn't dare to resist.

"Lao Du take a few catchers and take a quick trip, go and visit the prefect!" Qian Jun ordered loudly, and then whispered to Lao Du about the steps and main tasks of this operation, and the more Lao Du listened, the more serious his expression became.

Then, Qian Jun sent several powerful people around him one after another, and things were arranged, so he whispered to Wen Jin with a smile: "We should also avoid it." ”

"Are you going to sing an empty city plan?" Wen Jin was afraid that something would change, so he had asked Chunming to pass the order, packed up the simple luggage of himself and his children, took the nurse and other personal servants, entered the empty canned garden from the side door, and then climbed over the wall to the west, bypassed a forest, and climbed over a hill to a neat farmhouse courtyard.

The three caves of the cunning rabbit, Qian Jun had already rented this yard, and hired a neighbor to clean it every day, just in case of accidents.

Wen Jin settled down, then smiled at Zhanyan: "Everything is fine here, you go and do your big business." ”

"Good! I'll pick you up in three days at most. ”

"Well, I'll wait." At this moment, it was already dark, Qian Jun left Chen Kai with two followers to protect his family, and he walked out of the village, on the empty field road, joined the people he left, rode a horse, and returned to Nangang City. Zhang Mao accompanied the tax soldiers of the city and the people guarding Wang to meet unexpectedly outside the courtyard of the Qian family, and they were not prepared in either way, so they fought in such a noisy manner.
