A few people were chatting, but they saw a man wearing a short-sleeved vest and carrying a load of water.

"Sir! How did you get here? Rong Wu was surprised.

Hearing this, Qin Fan and Li Shimin also turned their heads to look.

I saw a dark-skinned man with sunburn marks on his face, smiling at them.

"Master! His Majesty...... Boss Li. ”

"Why are you here?"

Hearing this, the villagers were all surprised: This son-in-law in front of him is actually the master of the county order?

Zheng Yuan put down the load of water and said:

"I know that spring in the mountains has dried up, but you can't close this tea stall."

"Travelers who come and go here are counting on you to quench their thirst with this sip of herbal tea!"

Rong Wu took out fifteen copper plates from his arms and said:

"Sir, I can't let you spend money on this water."

Seeing this, Zheng Yuan pretended to be angry:

"After days of drought, the mountain springs dried up, and the people were looking forward to only the water of the Liuhe River."

"But now the people have to pay extra for even drinking saliva, which is incompetent for me as a county magistrate!"

"If you want to give me money, what difference is that from hitting me in the face?"

Rong Wu had no choice but to take the copper plate into his arms.

Zheng Yuan smiled happily at this time:

"Fellow villagers, this is my master, Qin Fan."

"Master is the county magistrate of Wannian County, Chang'an, and everything I do now is just a toddler in Handan!"

"Master's actions in Chang'an County are far ten times better than mine!"

Then, when introducing Li Shimin's identity, he made a difficulty.

Fortunately, Zheng Yuan had an idea, pointed at Li Shimin and said, "This is a noble man from Chang'an!" If you have any difficulties, you can also communicate with this noble person. ”

When Li Shimin heard this, he smiled with satisfaction.

Even if this kid is clever, he didn't reveal my identity.

When the people heard this, they were also in awe of the two, and they were not as casual as before.

Qin Fan didn't care, the top priority was to figure out Zheng Yuan's current situation and find a way to solve it for him.

After all, in Qin Fan's opinion, the current situation.

Zheng Yuan has faced far more enemies than he can do!

It's not that you're gifted or have the intelligence to figure it out.

Zheng Yuan is not short of quick wit.

What he lacks is strength, a force that can support him in riding the wind and waves.

Because of this, he has been cautious these days, and he has not even been to the government half a time.

In order to avoid a head-on collision with the local magnates!

There's no way, the other party's backstage is hard, and if you can't touch it, you can only take a detour to the side.

Originally, Zheng Yuan thought so and did so.

Roundabout waiting for an opportunity.

When the right time comes, I will find a way to bring down those people one by one and deal with them one by one.

and then for the various unjust cases handled by Taicang County over the years.

The death of Rongwu's wife and daughter is one of them.

It's just that if there is no arrival of Qin Fan and Li Er.

I am afraid that the time for this opportunity will be extended a lot.

Even Zheng Yuan may be in this Taicang, and he will be ruined for a lifetime!

But now it's different, Zheng Yuan even has the confidence to fight each other!

Because now with the support of Qin Fan and Li Shimin, he has made up for the last two shortcomings!

In the background, who else is harder than Li Shimin?

And Qin Fan's sitting, so that Zheng Yuan can give it a go!

Because he believes that even if he makes some mistakes, Master can help him turn the situation around!

As for the rest, Zheng Yuan is even more confident.

In terms of evidence, Zheng Yuan has already counted the previous tax books, and Zheng Yuan has already counted them.

Which one embezzled how much, and which one embezzled what, you can find out at a glance.

In terms of witnesses, there are also many people like Rong Wu who are willing to testify.

For more than a month before, the county Cheng and others only thought that Zheng Yuan was knowledgeable and took the initiative to give them power, and they retreated three (this chapter is not over!). )

Chapter 177: I Can't Retreat

House.

But in fact, everything Zheng Yuan did was to prepare for today!

He went deep into the people, understood the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the people, and inquired about the information in the county by the way.

He helped the people solve the case, and during this period, he also gained a deeper understanding of the noble and wealthy families in Taicang and even Suzhou.

And the corrupt atmosphere of the officials in the yamen was also well known to Zheng Yuan.

All kinds of criminal evidence, the other party's relationship network, Zheng Yuan has already understood.

He also knew the information in Taicang County.

It is completely possible to eradicate those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and also ensure the smooth operation of Taicang County.

Now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed.

It's just that after understanding the identities of the three people, the people became a lot more restrained.

So, Li Shimin proposed: "Why don't we go to the carriage first and discuss how this matter works!" ”

Hearing this, Zheng Yuan set his eyes on Qin Fan, and when he saw that the master nodded, he also nodded in agreement.

Coming to the carriage, Li Shimin got straight to the point and said: "I have an empty holy decree here, which His Majesty left for me to use on the road for emergencies. ”

"Now I can entrust that decree to you, and grant you the right to live and die."

"In this way, you can let go of it, return Taicang, and return Suzhou to a bright future!"

Hearing this, Zheng Yuan nodded: "Far away will live up to its mission!" ”

However, Qin Fan on the side spoke:

"Don't rush to say yes just yet! Have you forgotten what your teacher taught you? Plan before you act! ”

Hearing this, Zheng Yuan knew that Qin Fan had something to say, so he lowered his eyebrows and arched his hand: "Disciple, listen to the teachings." ”

"Now you have two choices!"

"One is to go back to Chang'an and ask His Majesty to appoint a more suitable person to deal with this matter."

"After all, this is a matter that offends people, if you start it, you will be the enemy of nearly half of the official gentry in the entire Tang Dynasty! At the same time, there will be resistance from the family's side. It's the equivalent of breaking with the family! ”

What Qin Fan said was true.

That county is just a small minion in the interest group of this family, and it also involves the forces of the major wealthy families.

"And you choose to go to war with them! As a teacher, I will stand firmly behind you! ”

"I will be with you!" Li Shimin said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, don't have any burden, just follow your heart and choose, I won't blame you for being a teacher!" Qin Fan said.

You know, Zheng Yuan is not even twenty.

Before coming to Chang'an, he was just a scholar who studied hard to avoid becoming a pawn of the family and prepared for the imperial examination.

It is too much of a burden for him to face these huge interest groups.

However, in the face of the choice given by Qin Fan, Zheng Yuan chose the latter without hesitation!

"Master, if I retreat, then who will reclaim their grievances? How to solve the water supply of the people of Taicang? ”

"So, I can't go back!"

"And not only for them! is also for the justice in my own chest, and for the continuation of the Tang Dynasty! For the people of Datang to live and work in peace and contentment! ”

Zheng Yuan's eyes were firm, and awe-inspiring righteousness came out of his body!
