Song Wen hurried to the city gate with Wu Song, Wu Erlang and others, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that everything was okay...... Pan Yu's power is huge, and there are hundreds of thugs and servants hiding in various parts of Mizhou City! Such a rash fight must not be careless.

Wang Yuan and Wang Zhizhou's sudden attack can be regarded as hitting Pan Yu's seven inches, which can be described as a vicious and far-sighted approach...... Originally, Song Wen also wanted to subdue the two Xiang soldiers who were out with troops, and then come back to clean up this Pan Yu.

Now think about it...... If he is the master, once he kills Pan Yu, then most of Pan Yu's power and family wealth will fall into his own hands! In addition, the Mizhou Xiang Army will obey its own orders in the future...... This place far away from the imperial court, Wang Zhizhou's words are even more worthless!

After all, he is a Mizhou soldier and horse envoy with a serious background, and some people are rich and famous! Wang Zhizhou hit Pan Yu and Song Wen by surprise...... Could it be that he knew in advance that Ruda would kill that Pan Guo? Or is there something strange about this?

Song Wen thought about it for a long time, and finally could only smile bitterly...... Luda's temperament has almost touched him, and he hates the most gentlemanly and corrupt officials in his life, and he is extremely righteous, and it is impossible to have any tacit understanding with Wu Yong and Wang Zhizhou behind his back...... This matter should be Wang Yuan, Wang Zhizhou, seized the opportunity of the confrontation between himself and Pan Yu, and suddenly made a difficulty! If you guessed correctly, Wang Zhizhou's men had already begun to liquidate the Pan family's shop property, and if their own people attacked the Pan Mansion, they would suffer heavy casualties...... I'm afraid that even the benefits of Pan Mansion will have to fall into the hands of Wang Zhizhou!

In a panic, there were actually more than a dozen thugs or stewards of Pan Mansion who learned the news of the state government's attack on Pan Yu's outsiders, and then rolled up the outside property with the intention of escaping......

More than a dozen Mizhou old Xiang soldiers were summoned to the city gate by Song Wen, plus the Xiang army who was originally responsible for guarding the city gate, identified these people one by one and tied them under the wall next to them to wait for their fate.

Song Wen felt a little tired, turned over and dismounted and sat aside to check some information about the garrison of the Mizhou Guard, and suddenly heard a commotion in front of him...... Looking at it closely, Song Wen almost came out happy!

It was actually the old account room that I saw when I first came to Mizhou and entered the city to collect city gate taxes for the Pan family?

A few of the original Mizhou soldiers scolded and pulled him out of the crowd, but they didn't beat him, but just grabbed his package and threw it on the table next to him to tie him up...... Song Wen saw that the old account room was trembling and bearded, and he had to be fifty years old if he was not sixty, so he waved his hand and asked them to bring people over.

Song Wen didn't have the slightest interest in those caught thugs in the courtyard, they were all some scoundrels who followed the Pan family to do evil for a few dollars, after cleaning up the Pan family, Song Wen planned to take down the prison camp by the sea, and then use these people to mine the tuntian, which can be regarded as waste utilization!

The old man knelt down tremblingly, and thanked him: "General Xie spares his life, General Xie is kind......"

Song Wen smiled: "Get up!" I didn't say I was going to let you go? What are you thankful for? ”

The old man replied: "The grass people's name is Qu Zhou, a lonely and talented person, and his family has suffered from bandits and can't come to Mizhou to make a living, just to earn a little silver to support a little granddaughter in the family...... The grass people also knew that the Pan Yuanwai family had done a lot of evil things for Fu Buben, but there was really no way to ......"

Song Wen nodded and said, "As long as you don't help the people to abuse and mutilate, if you just do something in the Pan family, there will be no punishment......

"Thank you, General, thank you, General!"

Song Wen sighed and was about to let him go down and wait, but this Qu Zhou Lao'er suddenly hesitated, then looked up at Song Wen cautiously and said: "General, the grass people accidentally discovered a few years ago that the Pan family seems to have a secret passage that can directly connect the inside and outside of the city......"

"What?"

Song Wen was very surprised, although this Mizhou is not big, it is still a state city! The city wall is as high as three zhang for dozens of miles, plus the moat and foundation, how can it be done without a thousand people digging for half a year? Besides, how much more is that? Even if the governor of the prefecture and the county sentences these people to pretend to be deaf and dumb, the court will have to come and kill him! What's the matter? Is it planned to rebel by digging a hole in the ground openly?

Song Wen frowned and asked, "Don't talk nonsense, is it true or hearsay?" How did you find out?"

Qu Zhou arched his hand and said: "The grass people are guilty, how dare they deceive the general?" Caomin has no success in this life, and he hasn't even been admitted to show his talent and fame, so there is only one granddaughter left in the family...... But he was born with a beautiful appearance, and a big housekeeper in Pan's Mansion heard about it, and one day he got drunk and found the side courtyard and wanted me to send my granddaughter to him as a concubine! My granddaughter ......"

An Chun, who was behind Song Wen, frowned and said, "Talking about authentic things, don't go to a place where there is no shadow!"

"Uh, yes, yes...... The housekeeper was drunk, and then said that there was a secret passage in the backyard of the Pan family, which was built by a prince during the war of the previous dynasty...... Later, the old man of the Pan family rebuilt the secret passage and used it as a way to get out! ”

Song Wen frowned and asked, "Have you ever seen this secret passage with your own eyes?"

"No, no, where will the Pan family let an outsider know such a secret? The grass people knew that this matter must not be publicized, and then they used the excuse of avoiding the butler's entanglement and hired a drudgery to collect taxes at the city gate...... I'm afraid I'll get into some trouble! ”

"Where is the exit to the secret passage?"

"The grass people don't know!"

An Chun whispered to Song Wen: "Brother, the Pan family's mansion is in Xicheng, and it is impossible for the secret passage to pass through the entire Mizhou City, it must be dug out of the city nearby, otherwise I will take someone to the west of the city to have a look?" There are two tattered Zhuangzi over there, maybe the exit is there......"

As soon as Song Wen was about to agree, he saw a horse running from a distance...... The cavalry of the Qingshan Battalion on the horse turned over and dismounted and said, "Lang Jun, Pan Yu's old thief has run away!" Master Wu led people to break through Pan's mansion, but the mansion was in chaos, Pan Yu fled from a tunnel with some guards, and the rest of his family was abandoned...... The fire has been extinguished, but the entrance to the tunnel has been burned down! The main book can't get in, so the little one who told Lang Jun must not run away from that pan ......"

"Well! Come on, gather all the cavalry to pursue Pan Yu's old thief, and never let him go out to meet the thief or the two box army Yu Hou......"

There was a big mess in Mizhou City, many of the Pan family's shops were in a mess, and there were even some guards and thugs in the shop business who turned around and began to loot their owners' property after hearing that Pan Yuanwai was chased and killed by the government! In addition, there are many officials who come to seal it up like hungry wolves...... In the end, there was actually a Xiang army that joined in without saying a word, and seized the Pan family's territory near the small camp in Beicheng.

The county government was empty, but no one dared to come here to take advantage of the fire and rob, but the county magistrate had already hurried to the yamen of the state capital with money to show loyalty to Wang Yuan Wang Zhizhou, and by the way, he also brought a lot of incriminating evidence of Pan Yu that he secretly collected...... It's a little late, but it's better than waiting to die, right? Although he used to vacillate between Pan Yuanwai and Wang Zhizhou, he was an official...... As long as there is good, the best thing is to forget!

Several county officials also asked, how should Luda, the head of the Xiangjun who surrendered and surrendered, deal with it? The county commander, who was in a hurry to stand in line to flatter, only dropped a sentence...... "How can the officers under Song Chan be murderers?" That's a brave man! Quickly let it go, and thanked Luda Dutou on behalf of the official...... It is said that he was brave enough to draw his sword to help...... Whatever you say, don't bother me! ”

Ruda was haphazardly removed from his chains and shackles, and walked out of the prison in a daze...... Suddenly, I found that even the poor people who watched the prison had run out, and the mess outside didn't know what was going on.

Except for some traitors, the innermost prison is full of fugitives who are in arrears of taxes and owe money to the Pan family...... One by one, the prisoners sat dirty in the filthy cell, their eyes blank as if they were walking dead.

Ruda snorted, and probably calculated it in his heart...... I'm afraid that Song Wen has already started against Pan Yuanwai. If it weren't for Pan Yu's downfall, I'm afraid that the county magistrate wouldn't have let him out like this.

With two fists, Ruda smashed the wooden door of the prison with a vent...... A stench wafted out, and the prisoners inside were so frightened that they cowered and didn't dare to move.

Ruda looked up at the sky...... This court, this world! It's like this stench, so you can't open your eyes!

Accustomed to seeing the court magnates oppressing the good, and seeing too many rich and unkind landlords bullying others, Luda always has the shadow of the old race in his heart...... For the country and the people? Is it faithful?

These two punches seemed to shatter the last trace of faith in Luda's heart in the imperial court, and the whole person shook a little...... The fist the size of the sand bowl was cut by a wooden thorn and blood fell to the ground one by one.

"If the Sprinkle family heard correctly, the Pan family is finished...... In the future, Mizhou should be able to live a peaceful life! Why don't you hurry up?"

There was silence, and none of these poor prisoners dared to come out......

Ruda didn't know what he was for, so he actually walked over and picked up a prison roster from the table...... It records the prison numbers and the causes of their lives and charges of all the prisoners in the county government jail in Mizhou.

"Three murderers, seven thieves, and forty-six people who owe money to the Pan family...... Seven people have died of violent illness, 39 people have fled in arrears of taxes, and four people have died violently......"

Ruda turned around and looked at the fugitive prisoners who had just come back to their senses and walked out of the prison...... "How did these people who died violently die?"

An old man with a dirty beard knelt down and replied, "Benefactor, those people were extorted from the money by the officials, and finally trampled to death with sticks and sticks......

Lu Damu nodded...... "Let's go!" The government doesn't have time to deal with you now, and they are all busy fighting for money and shops...... Hide and stay up for a few days, and when the Mizhou Xiang Army is large-scale in the future, just come out to help the Xiang Army farm the land! You'll have a bite to eat......"

"Thank you! That...... So did the Pan family really fall? ”

Ruda looked at the chaotic voices and puffs of smoke outside the county office, and said in a low voice: "It's falling, it's definitely falling!" Otherwise, why would the prison be unattended? ”

All the misdemeanor offenders crawled out, poked their suspicious probes around, and then ran out and disappeared down the corridor and outside the small door......

Only Ruda was left standing in the courtyard of the prison in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
