Chapter 546: Trial
The next morning, as soon as it was dawn, a carriage stopped outside the county yamen.
Qin Fan stepped down from the carriage.
"Qin County Order, you are finally here, everyone has been waiting for you." A small official saw Qin Fan and hurriedly greeted him.
Qin Fan looked at this little official and found that he looked mediocre, but he looked honest and honest, so he asked.
"I want to know where your county lieutenant is now?"
"In the Frontrooms." The little official said.
Then, Qin Fan followed the little official all the way towards the front hall.
Walking into the front hall, Qin Fan saw a group of richly dressed people sitting at the table.
Their expressions looked very relaxed, as if they were not trying a case.
And among this group of people, there are several people standing, all wearing the official uniforms of the commander of the Qingzhou Mansion Military Camp, and they are obviously also the high-level of the Qingzhou Mansion Army.
"I've seen everyone." Qin Fan walked in and arched his hand and said.
"Qin County Order, you are finally here, let me find it easily." At this time, Wang Zhong stood up from the stool and said with a smile.
"Lord Wang, is there anything you can do?" Qin Fan asked.
"That's right, last night, someone offended the Qin County Order."
"So today, I specially brought a group of military advisors and me to make amends, hoping that the Qin County Order can see my face and forgive them." Wang Zhong said.
"I see."
When Qin Fan heard this, he said with a faint smile.
Then Qin Fan turned his head to look at the little official beside him and said, "Go and call someone in."
Soon, a middle-aged man was brought in.
"Qin County Order, this is the group of bandits I arrested last night." Wang Zhong said with a smile.
"Qin County Order, hello." These people greeted each other one after another.
Qin Fan nodded, motioned for them to sit down, then looked at them and said, "I know who you are."
"Qin County Order, do you know us?" At this time, a young man asked suspiciously.
"Of course I know you." Qin Fan said lightly.
Qin Fan said, "I can not hold you accountable."
"I can even give you a sum of money to fly away, why would you do this?"
"We're just being ordered from above." The young man spoke.
"With orders from above, can you bully the weak with impunity?"
"Do you think you're doing this worthy of the glory of being a soldier?"
"If so, I advise you to surrender early, and I may be able to forgive you."
Qin Fan's face sank, and he said vigorously.
What this group of bandits did was indeed against the principles of heaven, not only killing ordinary people, but also dealing with a county order.
If it is an ordinary person who encounters this kind of thing, then he must be scared stupid.
And they may die at the hands of that group of bandits, so it is not in accordance with military discipline and rules to do so.
"Qin County Order, are you overestimating yourself too much?"
Hearing Qin Fan's words, a trace of anger flickered between the young man's eyebrows.
"I'm telling you, you're just a prefectural magistrate, and a young prefectural magistrate."
"Even if the garrison of your Wannian County is good, can it still be compared to the army of our Qingzhou Mansion?"
This young man's demeanor was arrogant and domineering, and he didn't take Qin Fan in his eyes at all.
Seeing this young man's appearance, Qin Fan couldn't help but smile.
In this world, no one has dared to speak to him in such a tone.
"I admit that the defense strength of our Wannian County is not as good as that of the people of the Qingzhou Mansion Legion."
"So I have to remind you that if you make a mistake in Wannian County in the future, it is best to retreat immediately, so as not to suffer a loss." Qin Fan said with a sneer.
Hearing Qin Fan's words, the faces of the people around him appeared
There was a look of shock.
It was the first time they had seen a small county magistrate dare to threaten them.
This is simply not knowing life or death, and dare to say such arrogant things.
"I don't believe it, in the sphere of influence of Qingzhou Mansion, he dares to kill us?"
At this time, a man stood up angrily, glared at Qin Fan and said.
"This brother, don't you know the identity of Qin County Ling?" At this time, Wang Zhong frowned and asked.
Hearing this, the man was stunned for a moment.
He looked at Qin Fan, his face full of suspicion.
"Brother, you can take a closer look at my background." Qin Fan said indifferently.
"You people are all powerful figures in the Qingzhou Mansion military camp or other places, I don't want to get into trouble, and I ask you to leave quickly."
Hearing Qin Fan's words, the man fell silent.
"This man is my subordinate."
At this time, Wang Zhong said slowly: "So Qin County Order, you don't have to worry about him talking nonsense, what he says, you just treat it as a deaf ear."
"In that case, then please ask Lord Wang to deal with it." Qin Fan nodded and said.
"Okay."
Hearing this, Wang Zhong nodded, then looked at the man beside him and asked.
"Whose order did you just say?"
"Our master's name is Young Master Zhang, and he wants us to arrest this Qin Fan and abolish him in front of him." The man said.
"Oh? Your master is Young Master Zhang?"
Wang Zhong frowned.
"Yes."
"How's his strength?" Wang Zhong continued to ask.
"His strength is much worse than that of Qin County, but his father is the general of the Qingzhou Mansion Legion, and he is also a member of the entire Qingzhou Mansion Legion."
After the man finished speaking, he looked at Qin Fan again.
Hearing this, the corners of Qin Fan's mouth outlined a mocking arc.
This Young Master Zhang really has some ability.
And in the legion, he can be regarded as the number one person.
"Since that's the case, then I'll give Young Master Zhang a face, and you guys can go." Wang Zhong opened his mouth and said.
"Lord Xie."
After the man finished speaking, he turned around and left with a group of bandits.
When they left, there was silence in the hall.
At this time, Qin Fan looked at Wang Zhong and said, "Lord Wang, how can you promise them? Do you know the crimes of these men?"
"Qin County Order, I won't tell you, although I don't know Young Master Zhang, I've heard of his name."
"I, Wang Zhong, have also been in the army for decades, and I am like thunder about Young Master Zhang's name."
"I know you want to help these bandits clear their minds, but your status is still low."
"So I'll vouch for you, as long as one day this group of bandits is caught, you will be a member of the Qingzhou Mansion Legion."
Hearing Wang Zhong's words, Qin Fan pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed.
And in a valley outside the city.
Young Master Zhang sat on the chair and looked at the four bandits kneeling on the ground in front of him, with a cold light flashing in his eyes.
The four bandits were all on their knees and trembling.
