"If I break in rashly and annoy Your Majesty, the consequences will be very serious, and what if the prince falls ill at this juncture?"

Qin Fan couldn't help but shudder when he thought about it, and he would be finished if the prince was sick.

"No matter."

"Let's go and find out the truth first."

"If it's feasible, then let Boss Lin arrange a room for me." Qin Fan commanded.

"Okay." The shopkeeper said yes and turned to leave.

Not long after, a maid came over to tell him that Boss Lin was already waiting downstairs.

"Hmm." Qin Fan nodded.

"Let's go." He took a group of beggars and went downstairs.

After a full meal, a group of beggars strolled through the streets.

Qin Fan rode a horse and followed slowly, unhurriedly.

After a long time, I finally came to the county yamen.

I saw that there was an open space in front of the county yamen, and three or four carriages were parked at this time.

"Lord Qin, you're finally here."

Boss Lin greeted him, with a smile on his face, and during this time, Boss Lin has been tossed a lot.

Every time, I was scared, lest Qin Fan really be killed, and now Qin Fan is finally here.

This means that Boss Lin's nightmare is about to come to an end.

"It's been hard work for the past few days, Boss Lin."

Qin Fan said, "When the matter is over, this official will definitely reward Boss Lin generously."

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be."

Boss Lin was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "My lord, you are handling the case for the benefit of the people, and the villain should help the adults solve the case."

"Huh."

Qin Fan bowed his head slightly and walked inside.

"Lord Qin, why are there so many beggars gathered here?" Boss Lin suddenly said in surprise.

Qin Fan followed Boss Lin's gaze and looked not far away.

I saw that not far away, a lot of beggars gathered, including two servants.

"Those are poor people who have been cheated out of money."

Boss Lin pointed to the group of beggars and said, "They originally had parents, relatives and friends, but because of the corruption and bribery case, the whole family was cut off their heads."

"Then why don't you run for your lives?" Qin Fan asked.

"I can't go anywhere."

Boss Lin said with emotion: "The official at the gate of the county government is specifically watching us merchants."

"They said, whoever dares to step out of the scope of Wannian County will be killed."

Boss Lin sighed and said, "Although these officials are just ordinary soldiers, they don't know martial arts."

"But we are powerless to resist."

"I can only admit it obediently."

"Not only do you have to compensate you for the silver taels, but you also have to send money to the officials, otherwise you will have to cut off your head."

"In addition to the Wannian County Ya, several nearby cities also have inspection divisions and officials set up by the government. They're specifically targeting wealthy people like me." Qin Fan suddenly realized when he heard this.

It is no wonder that in the recent Wannian County, there are always incidents such as theft, robbery, and arson in the downtown area.

It turned out that it was not the so-called rampant banditry, but just an illusion deliberately created by the government in order to accumulate wealth.

"What's your name?"

Suddenly, Boss Lin said to the shopkeeper next to Qin Fan.

"Villain bastard." The shopkeeper hurriedly said respectfully.

"Bastard?"

Qin Fan raised his eyebrows and glanced at the shopkeeper.

"Ugh."

The shopkeeper smiled embarrassedly: "The villain just said the wrong thing, it's the turtle grandson."

Boss Lin patted the shopkeeper's shoulder with a smile, and said with a smile: "It's quite clever, if you follow Lord Qin in the future, you will definitely be able to eat and drink spicy food."

"Thank you Boss Lin for cultivating."

The shopkeeper said happily, "Boss Lin, don't worry, I will serve the adults well."

"Hmm

。」

Boss Lin nodded with satisfaction.

Immediately, he led Qin Fan into the county office, and inside the county office, people came and went.

"These officials are really powerful."

Looking at the arrogant appearance of a group of officials, the surrounding passers-by retreated one after another.

There are even some people who hide far away.

"Hmph." Boss Lin snorted coldly and walked quickly towards the backyard of the county government.

Qin Fan followed suit, followed behind Boss Lin, and came to the backyard without hurrying.

"See your lordship." Boss Lin came to the depths of the courtyard.

"Your Excellency." A group of well-dressed guards immediately bowed and bowed.

"Boss Lin, you've made this battle a little too big."

Qin Fan waved his hand and motioned for them to be exempt.

Then he looked around and asked, "Where is that Li Zhutou?" Chinese Net

"Wait a minute, my subordinates will go to him."

One of the guards replied.

Soon after he left, Qin Fan saw a man with a thin figure and a gloomy face walking out of the house.

"Lord Qin, why are you here?" The man asked, surprised.

"I heard you caught a batch of thieves?" Qin Fan smiled and asked lightly.

"Uh. Yes."

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "What do you want to know?"

"This official is here to investigate those thieves, does it have anything to do with the county lieutenant?"

Qin Fan said, "If it's related, let those people go as soon as possible. If it doesn't matter, I'll take them all and behead them."

The man was suddenly startled, and said in horror, "My lord, those thieves are all the private treasury of the county lieutenant."

"How could you have let them go if there was no evidence?"

"Since this official dares to say that he will release people, he must release them."

Qin Fan said confidently, "However, if you have evidence, this official will naturally not run in vain."

"This."

The man hesitated, as if he had something to say.

Qin Fan's mind was clear.

"What, you're hiding something from me?"

"That's right."

The man sighed and said, "Lord Qin won't tell you, we have searched clearly, and those thieves are the evidence of the county lieutenant's crime of stealing and selling his official position."

"What?"

Hearing this, Qin Fan was taken aback and said angrily, "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely."

The man said solemnly, "All the books and records of the stolen goods are here."

"And there are a lot of books with a lot of numbers."

"If it was fake, it would have been discovered a long time ago."

"Moreover, someone heard with their own ears that the county magistrate and Li Xiancheng had a secret conversation."

"Oh?" Qin Fan's eyes froze.

"Your Excellency."

The man groaned for a moment and continued, "Li Xian Cheng is a member of the county lord's party, and he is very cautious."

"According to him, the main reason why he didn't hand over the thieves was that he was afraid that some people would use them as a means to attack him."

"After all, he's the newly promoted county lord."

"And not long after taking office, I haven't made any outstanding achievements, and now is a good time to win the hearts and minds of the people."

"So he doesn't want to take any chances, he'd rather let the bandits take the bag."

"Hmm." Qin Fan nodded in agreement.

Then he asked, "Have you ever sent someone to investigate?" Is this stolen goods legitimate?"

"Of course."

The man nodded and said, "I sent someone to investigate for half a month."

"So detailed."

Qin Fan frowned slightly, looked at the man and asked, "Aren't you afraid, scare the snake?"

"Don't be afraid."
