The rain trickled down and crackled against the roof above the workshop, in stark contrast to the dead silence beneath the roof.

The workers in the workshop gathered at the back in fear, the horror on their faces was not hidden, but everyone's hands had already begun to subconsciously touch the shovels and planks, and no one knew what would happen next.

And the treasurers who were standing in front of them and presiding over the strike were even more frightened, looking at Lord Qincha sitting on a chair at the door of the workshop, no one paid attention to the dead Chief Xiao, and no one even dared to look at the tragic scene of the separation of the corpses next to the furnace, but just stared at Fan Xian's gentle and soft face in horror, and everyone's feet subconsciously retreated.

One person retreated, ten people retreated, everyone retreated, and the footsteps of the treasurers retreated rustled, like millipedes crawling in the desert, but the workshop was only so large in total, and most of the space was taken up by thinly dressed workers, so where could these treasurers in cyan clothes retreat?

Fan Xian looked at the scene in front of him, subconsciously shook his head, and said in a harmonious voice: "This official is not a blindly cruel person, you workers should not be afraid, what the court investigated is only the matter of the treasurer's corruption and deduction of salary, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

The workers at the back looked at each other twice, and their minds were a little calm, but they did not dare to fully believe that the young official was still holding the handle of the shovel in his hand.

"You...... Even if you are an official of the imperial court, how can you kill people indiscriminately!" a treasurer finally couldn't stand the pressure of silence and cried out in a shrill voice.

At this time, Ma Kai, the deputy envoy of the operation department, was standing behind Fan Xian stupidly, he didn't expect Fan Xian to say a word. I cut off the head of a big shop owner first! This matter has made a big deal today, but how should it end!

His voice trembled, and he said in shock and anger: "Lord Qincha, this ...... Why is that? everything is negotiable...... It's over, it's over. ”

In Ma Kai's heart, the most important thing in the inner library is the group of treasurers in front of him, and only these people know how to maintain the inner library. Even if you Fan Xian cut off dozens of heads today and force these treasurers to comply, but what about the future? The treasurers do things with resentment, who knows what will become of the inner treasury?

What's more, there are two big fang owners who are also making a labor tide, if you know that you killed Xiao of Jiafang, which has aroused public resentment, the strike has really continued...... Oh my God! If you really kill all the people, who will do the work? Do you expect those workers who can't read a single word?

Fan Xian ignored the helpless deputy envoy beside him, motioned for Su Wenmao to lean over, and then said to everyone in the fang, "Listen to me word by word!"

Everyone was stunned.

Su Wenmao took out a few pieces of paper from his wet lotus clothes. After squinting at it, he began to read aloud.

"Today, it is found out that Xiao Jing, the head of the three major workshops of the Inner Treasury Transfer Division, has committed many evil and illegal acts since the first year. ”

Su Wenmao frowned and glanced at the uneasy treasurers, and continued: "In March of the second year of Qingli, Xiao Jing concealed the Tongshan mine disaster and ate the dead for five years, totaling 13,700 taels. On July 9, the fourth year of Qingli, Xiao Jing bribed the lord of Suzhou. 700 acres of fertile land were purchased at a low price. In the first month of the sixth year of Qingli, the three major owners headed by Xiao Jing and a treasurer owed more than 10,000 wages to the workers. Caused a riot, 14 people were killed and more than 50 were injured......"

I don't know how many of the charges have been listed, and Su Wenmao's mouth was a little dry when he read it, so he only heard him say at the end: "His crime is unforgivable, according to the Qing law, he should be beheaded." ”

Then he took out a number of title deeds from his bosom, and the confession of the lord of Suzhou. and relevant evidence.

"Don't ask me for evidence again. Fan Xian then said: "I keep the witnesses, and there are a lot of physical evidence, such as Xiao Jing, since this official is in charge of the inner treasury, he will never keep it." ”

The workers, who were trembling and restless, listened to Lord Chincha's discussion. Listening to the accusations, I suddenly remembered how domineering Xiao Jing was on weekdays. How harsh and vicious the workers were to the ground, I suddenly felt that Lord Qincha had killed well!

However, the resentment in the eyes of those treasurers became more and more serious, and some people shouted in dissatisfaction: "Even if you want to punish the crime, you must open a court to try the case...... If you want to add sin, there is no excuse!"

Ma Kai, the deputy envoy standing behind Fan Xian, when he listened to Su Wenmao's recitation of the guilt, he knew that Lord Qincha was making excuses, and Xiao Jing did these things, in fact, the officials of the Inner Treasury Transfer Department knew it in their hearts, but even if they had to punish the crime according to Qing Law, they were ...... You can't just kill indiscriminately!

After all, Ma Kai wanted to maintain a good situation with Fan Xian because of his cousin Ren Shaoan's relationship, so no matter how much he disagreed with Fan Xian's style of acting, he forcibly kept his mouth shut and did not question.

He didn't question it, but there were still henchmen left by the eldest princess in the transfer department who refused to let go of this big opportunity, and said sinisterly: "My lord is decisive, it's just ...... It seems that such a corrupt person should open a court and let him admit it himself, so that he can be vigilant, and the adults have given the treasurers a three-day period, and the time for these three days has not yet arrived, so it is inevitable that they will ......"

The treasurers trembled, but they did not give up, and listened to the officials in the ranks to help them speak, and they were even more bold to make a noise.

Fan Xian didn't turn his head at all, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his lips: "This official is the chief envoy of the Supervision Yuan, and he is also the chief envoy of the Inner Treasury Transfer Department, and the Supervision Yuan is responsible for investigating the case...... The official did not behead him with these charges. ”

He bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Instigating the workers to make trouble, strike, and resist His Majesty's will, can't this official kill such a kingless and fatherless person?"

Qing Lu is meticulous, it seems that there is no harm in doing such a thing as murder, but killing people in a blatant manner like Fan Xian needs an excellent excuse, if he only uses Xiao Jing's lawlessness as a rope to justify his killing, it will give the officials and treasurers an excellent opportunity to refute - beheading people without asking about the case is unjustifiable in any yamen.

But Fan Xian is very down-to-earth, and he clearly verified Xiao Jingdi's crimes. But he said that he was beheaded because the other party did not respect His Majesty's will...... The will is the most illusory, and as a messenger, he certainly has the final right to interpret.

And Xiao Jing's crimes investigated by the Supervision Yuan are also very necessary, and in the future, he will fight a lawsuit in the Kyoto court, and these forced to buy good land. The crime of bullying people to death is enough to silence doubts afterwards.

At present, killing people is powerful, and collecting evidence afterwards to block the mouths of the world, this is the long-term arrangement.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

There was already a person dead in the big fang of Jiafang, and the workers had expectations of Lord Qincha, the treasurers were as timid as rats, and the officials could not accuse Fan Xian to his face although they had ghosts in their hearts, and the situation stabilized slightly.

After a while, the labor tide of Party B's two squares also subsided, but those two reasons

So Ye Shen dealt with two people, Shan Da. So it took a little more time, and the two of them were not as bold as Fan Xian, who only dared to arrest people, but did not dare to kill people.

The treasurers of the other two squares were escorted into the large workshop by the sergeants, and the workers were strictly forbidden to stay in the workshops.

It's just that the army's swords and guns are cold, and the crossbows and arrows of the supervision institute are pressing, and no matter how crowded the crowd is, they don't dare to move half a minute.

Look at this scene. The officials of the Transshipment Division who came to the workshop with Fan Xian were shocked! The officials didn't know until this time that Lord Qincha had already made arrangements for the situation on the last day of the Three Days Order, and he seemed to have guessed that the treasurers would react aggressively!

For a time, those cronies and officials in Xinyang were all disappointed. It seems that this mess is not big today, but at the same time, they are also expecting that Fan Xian will be more ruthless later, and it is best to offend all the treasurers - in the future, the production of the inner treasury will be reduced, and the quality will decline, see how you explain to Your Majesty!

After waiting for a moment of silence in the workshop, Fan Xian stood up from his chair, and a few small puffs of water that had been flowing in the lotus clothes flowed to the ground.

He looked at the crowd of treasurers in front of him. I saw that these treasurers were still unconvinced in their eyes, and the treasurers who had been escorted from the two squares were even more arrogant, and they didn't seem to know what was going on.

"It's all in the right place. He smiled softly and said, "Last night it rained heavily, and this workshop was extinguished, what about you? Why is it that the treasurer of the workshop, which is obviously thirty or forty miles away, is near the yamen today? Even if the workshop is closed due to rain. You should also go to your own shop and watch, it's too early, have you already gone and turned back?"

He said to himself, and the treasurers, through the explanation of the treasurer left in the shop earlier, finally knew what had happened before, and their faces gradually turned pale.

Fan Xian shook his head and said: "This is good, you have been convicted of the strike, and the official has started to kill." ”

After the unnatural death of Chief Xiao, through verbal transmission, the treasurers now finally know that Lord Qincha is really a ruthless character who kills people without blinking, listening to this faint sentence, the treasurers exploded with a buzz, some begged for mercy, some still scolded their mothers, and some people's eyes turned straight, as if they wanted to see where there was a dog hole in this workshop to drill out, the crowd gradually dispersed, and the situation was slightly chaotic, but the army and the supervision yuan on the periphery watched tightly, and forced everyone back.

Two people were squeezed out of the treasurer, not bystanders, but the three leaders of the labor tide, the chief treasurer of the two workshops.

These two lords were in high spirits in the largest workshop under each autonomy, and they commanded the treasurer and the workers to strike like a river, and their words were outrageous, and the momentum was amazing, although the workers looked at him with strength and unintentionally, but hundreds of treasurers were extremely moved by what they said, thinking that with the wisdom in their own heads, the court would not be willing to punish severely, of course, these two directors also strictly ordered the treasurers to be extremely respectful to Lord Qincha, what we want is that the money in the family will not be taken away by the court, not really to rebel。

Unexpectedly, the strike was only a while, and countless soldiers and secret agents of the Supervision Institute rushed from outside the fang, facing the weapons, the words of the two principals suddenly lost their power, and they were obediently tied up and escorted here, but they still had confidence all the way, thinking that they were acting in a measured manner, and you were not good at it.

Unexpectedly, Lord Qincha did not act in a measured manner. After standing in the crowd for a while, the two directors realized that they had conspired with them to dismiss the construction site Director Xiao...... Actually dead!

The two principals stood outside the crowd, looked around in the workshop, and finally found Xiao Jing's body on the edge of the furnace, the blood stains and skulls instantly shocked their hearts, and the two of them cried sadly: "Lord Xiao...... Lord Xiao!"

There are knives and guns all around. So they didn't dare to go to the fireside to mourn, but they still raised their heads and glanced at Fan Xian with extremely resentful eyes, knowing that they probably couldn't escape today.

Fan Xian didn't look at them, just tilted his head slightly, listening to Shan Da's report, when he knew that Bingfang was as usual, and the technicians of the three departments of the Supervision Institute had all taken over, and no one dared to take advantage of the chaos to do something, so he was relieved. And at this time. A tiger guard who was supposed to be stationed in the mansion quietly passed the officials, came to Fan Xian's side, leaned into his ear and said, "The one in the mansion wants to go out for a walk." ”

The reason why Bingfang is important is because the place responsible for the production of ordnance ships and other vital things, if the secrets of that place are leaked, on the battlefield in the future, I don't know how many more young people will die in Qingguo, Fan Xian does not dare to take this responsibility, originally listened to Shan Da's report and felt a little relieved, but listened to Huwei's report. His brow furrowed again.

Begonia disguised as a maidservant girl and followed her, she could hide from officials, from many people, but she couldn't hide from Gundam's eagle-like eyes. Although Fan Xian found out that he had made this big mistake, it was impossible to make up for it, but fortunately, the Qi Nian team was secretly staring, and Huwei did not release any news to the outside, which made him feel a little relieved and began to wonder again.

But now is not the time to deal with this matter, the one that Huwei is referring to...... Naturally, it is Begonia, it seems that the village girl knows that it is lively today. I'm afraid I just want to take the opportunity to do something.

Fan Xian said calmly: "Don't go out, keep an eye on her, use all methods, and leave her in the house today." ”

Seven tiger guards against begonias are exactly the standard configuration on the meadow last year. Fan Xian wasn't worried about anything. And once the force is opposed, Begonia knows its determination. Naturally, it will be quiet.

After dealing with his own affairs, Fan Xian returned his gaze to the field and said, "Tie up these two sinners who instigated trouble and fought against the imperial court." ”

Some soldiers had already stepped forward to tie up the two principals, and although the treasurers showed horror and hatred on their faces, no one dared to come forward to help, on the one hand, the violent machines were in front, and on the other hand, these treasurers had earned all the money over the years, and they no longer had the courage to fight. The more money a person has, the less courage he has, and Fan Xian sees this matter very clearly.

"Master Fan!"

The two principals did not resist, and somewhat numbly allowed the sergeant to tie his hands, but the head of Yifang still stared at Fan Xian's face faintly: "If you want to kill, you will kill!

"Are you threatening this official?" Fan Xian laughed, "On the way before I came, I once said a word...... If Butcher Zhang dies, will he have to eat hairy pigs? Without you little treasurers, wouldn't this official take care of the inner treasury?"

The owner of the second workshop laughed miserably, "Yes, we did underestimate your determination as Lord Chincha, but you also seem to underestimate these inconspicuous workshops!"

His last sentence was simply shouted, obviously desperate, but it was even more like turning into a ghost to see how Fan Xian abolished the inner library

Ruthless.

......

......

Fan Xian glanced at Su Wenmao, Su Wenmao took out another case file from the lotus clothes, calmed his face, and began to read out the names of each person according to the names written on the paper.

"Zhang San, Li Si, Wang Ba, Long Jiu......"

As the names of these dragon sets were pronounced one by one, the faces of more than a dozen people in the treasurer's crowd suddenly turned pale, and they didn't know if they were about to be the same as Master Xiao of Jiafang! A few of them were trembling with their legs, and their pants were actually wet.

Su Wenmao glanced at these people in disgust, not understanding why Lord Tisi did this, and after swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he said with a dark face: "You can come out, Lord Qincha will pardon your innocence, and I will write to the court tomorrow to guarantee you." ”

These treasurers who were named suddenly became stupid, thinking that it was hell, but who knew that there was a cool spring and seventy-two ** heavens!

In the puzzled and jealous eyes of the treasurers around them, these dozen treasurers walked out of the crowd stupidly and walked in front of Fan Xiandi. He knelt down with a puff and thanked Lord Chincha, but he didn't understand why this was happening.

Fan Xian smiled gently, helped these treasurers up with both hands, and said in a harmonious voice while pretending: "Being able to hold the real guilt of the three principals, and being able to know that there are so many illegal things among the treasurers, it all depends on your righteousness to kill your relatives." Wholeheartedly loyal to the imperial court, otherwise the official would really know that the inner treasury was in such a mess, and he didn't know that someone dared to instigate a strike and make trouble today...... If you are located in the country, the official will naturally not be treated badly. ”

There was an uproar in the market, it turned out that these dozen or so treasurers turned out to be internal ghosts! Even the officials behind Fan Xian were dumbfounded, thinking that it had only been three days since Lord Qin sent him to the inner library, how could he have developed so many eyeliners, and the name of the secret agent of the Supervision Yuan was really not false.

And the treasurers knew that the dozen or so colleagues who were invited out by Fan Xian had betrayed themselves in secret. couldn't help but be furious, although he didn't dare to come forward and beat him, he also scolded fiercely, and foul language flew all over the sky and got into the ears of those traitors.

What about those traitor treasurers? Originally, they loved Xiao Fan to death, but at this time, they hated Xiao Fan to death, yes, they secretly returned the treasury silver, and secretly said a few words about the things they had heard of, but ...... Where is there a little Fan that Lord said so seriously. I only found out about this strike last night, where did I have time to report it, as for Director Xiao and the other two directors...... Oh my. I just want to be a beautiful wallgrass, where do I dare to offend the head of the treasurers!

The treasurers referred to by these thousands of people looked at each other, wanting to cry without tears, even if Fan Xian let them go today, but today he pointed out his shameless betrayal in front of everyone, how could he face more than 200 colleagues in the future?

Zhang San looked at Li Si, Wang Ba looked at Long Jiu, and asked sadly with his eyes: "Are you also a traitor?"

"yes. We're also a traitor. ”

Fan Xian's words next shocked the people in the workshop.

"Well, these thirteen treasurers have the courage to expose the malpractices, and they are meritorious to the country, and the official decides. From now on, they are the deputy directors of the three major squares. Fan Xianwen asked the deputy envoy beside him with a gentle smile. "What do you think of this, Lord Ma?"

Deputy envoy Ma Kai still remembered in his heart how the inner library could produce normally, and he was very depressed, but when he heard this, he still nodded his head again and again, and admired Fan Xian in the depths of his heart - this trick is really beautiful, showing the shameless face of these treasurers, and in the future, the treasury will use these people as minions, and they will not be convinced, this is artificially drawn a gap among the treasurers, if this matter can end successfully today, it will be difficult for the treasurers in the future to re-entangle together and become a class that can confront the officials.

Suddenly, someone sneered.

Everyone looked at it, it was the treasurer of Yifang who was tied up and kneeling on the ground, only to see him sneer and say sadly: "What a group of shameless villains...... Lord Fan, do you think that just relying on these guys can make the inner library run as before? I don't mean to threaten the imperial court, but there is nothing in the minds of us people, the inner library...... I'm afraid it won't last a few days!"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the room became different again, and the deputy envoy Ma Kai wanted to come to Fan Xian's ear to plead, but he didn't know how to speak. And Xinyang's henchmen among the officials of the transfer department also began to think about the imperial court openly, secretly cheering for the principal, and said to Fan Xian that everything should be focused on the production of the internal warehouse, and killing the director Xiao has already taught the other party a lesson.

Where would Fan Xian listen to these words, he just stared at the head of Yifang, and didn't speak for a long time.

With that pair of sharp and clear eyes, the master of Yifang, who was staring at him, couldn't bear it anymore, and slowly lowered his head.

At this time, Fan Xiancai said angrily: "When death is on the verge of death, you dare to threaten the imperial court...... Rip off your panties and cover your face to see if it's your head or your ass on your neck!"

Lord Qincha was furious, and the people were silent.

Fan Xian glanced at the treasurers, and said with pity in disdain: "Do you really think you are very promising? Do you think that this inner library is still the Diye family back then? Don't look at your little ability, saying that others are shameless villains, what about you? In addition to being greedy for silver, stealing materials and selling them, deducting those hard wages, and forcibly taking other people's wives, what else will you do? Shameless? If you were ashamed, you wouldn't be where you are today!"

He turned around and said angrily to the head of Yifang: "You are very hard, you can't do without you? Then you tell me, why has the glass become more and more muddy over the years? How is the wine so weak that a bird is about to grow! The perfume has been out of production for ten years, have you found a way?"

"You were also a buddy of the Ye family back then, old man. Fan Xian was heartbroken, and scolded the principal: "Why did *** degenerate like this? I'm dying of anger!"

Everyone in the market was stunned, and everyone slowly remembered that there seemed to be a rumor - this angry Lord Qincha in front of him was a descendant of the Ye family?***, I***?Whose mother would be angry?
