"Hmph." Qin Fan snorted coldly and said, "Han Fei. Don't forget, you're just a county magistrate, and you don't have the right to dispose of a county official."

"What's more, today I am going to the palace to participate in the draft on behalf of the county lord."

"If you dare to deal with this official indiscriminately, you will be guilty of a great crime."

Han Fei glanced at Qin Fan with disdain, and said jokingly, "Boy, are you stupid to be an official? It is the will of the lord of the county that you go and build a canal."

"You are a small county magistrate, are you qualified to represent the county lord?"

"If you are not convinced, you can go directly to the county lord to report."

Han Fei was not afraid at all, and looked at him-for-tat, as if he wanted to fight with him to the end.

After a long time, Qin Fan turned around and left, he had already suffered from the golden-red official robe that Li Shimin gave him before, he wanted to enter the county office, try the case in public, and give the people justice.

In the prefectural government.

At this moment, Qin Fan was wearing a golden-red official robe, with his hands behind his back, standing on the top of the hall, staring at the few black-clothed people kneeling down in the hall.

"Qin Fan Xiao'er, you dare to trespass on the county government of Wannian County, what do you want to do?" Han Fei scolded coldly.

Hearing Han Fei's question, Qin Fan slowly walked in front of Han Fei and said, "Han Fei, let me ask you, why did the supply of wood in the county government suddenly cut off?"

"You're too embarrassed to ask." Han Fei smiled coldly and mocked, "Qin Fan. In vain, we still call us brothers. So you're one of those wolf-hearted dogs."

"It's too chilling for us to do this."

Qin Fan sneered and said, "Han Fei, you're not a fool, there must be a reason for this, right?"

"Huh." Han Fei smiled contemptuously and said, "I, Han Fei, am acting upright and sitting upright."

"What's the reason? Are you still afraid that you won't be able to?"

After listening to Han Fei's words, Qin Fan suddenly felt a little tricky, and he didn't know how to start.

There's no way he's going to kill him, right? In that case, I'm afraid that even if he is the prince of the Tang Dynasty, he will not be able to escape the responsibility.

After thinking about it, Qin Fan took a deep breath, calmed down and said, "Since you don't want to confess, then I don't bother to talk nonsense with you." ap.

"Come, take him down and imprison him. After finding out who is behind the scenes, we will make plans."

Hearing this, the two officials immediately stepped forward and dragged Han Fei out.

Another official remained.

As Han Fei and the others left, Qin Fan said lightly, "Bring me the county records, I have something urgent to read."

"Yes, sir." The official nodded respectfully, and hurried out.

After a while, a thick booklet was handed over.

"Thanks." Qin Fan nodded.

Immediately, he eagerly opened the booklet and began to read it.

This records the entire situation of Wannian County.

The layout and topography of the county seat are listed in detail in various plans.

This includes information about which businesses live in which house and which neighbors.

Even, even the lease contract of the shop on a certain street, the price sharing and other information are clearly written.

"It's very detailed." Looking at this booklet, Qin Fan secretly admired.

Then he carefully flipped through it, and in a short time a flash of joy appeared on his face.

According to the information recorded in this county chronicle, in addition to those few wealthy merchants in the county, there is also a large merchant called Lin Fu.

Lin Fu is the leading chaebol in Wannian County, and its industries are spread throughout Wannian County.

Moreover, the Lin Mansion also controls the food and clothing of the people in the entire Wannian County.

Therefore, during the spring plowing and summer harvest season, the Lin government will send people to transport grain to meet the food needs of the farmers in the county.

According to the food distributed by the Lin Mansion, it is basically used to satisfy hunger.

As for the wood, only a little bit is given out occasionally.

Seeing this, the corners of Qin Fan's mouth

Outline a trace of evil arc.

"Looks like we're saved."

Thinking of this, Qin Fan hurriedly took out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and quickly wrote a letter.

As soon as the letter was written, Qin Fan instructed his subordinates to take the letter and rush to Beijing.

Qin Fan was not worried that after the letter arrived in Jingshi, it would be blocked or suspicious.

After all, there is an old saying in the imperial court that county officials are better than being in charge.

Therefore, Qin Fan believed that after this letter arrived in Jingshi, there would definitely be no obstruction.

"This Lin Mansion dares to withhold the supply of wood from Wannian County, which is really a capital crime."

"Since this is the case, then I, Qin Fan, will do the right thing for the heavens. Get rid of them."

"Hmph." Han Fei snorted coldly and said, "That's right, you really want to do the right thing for the heavens."

"As the parent official of Wannian County, you clearly knew that someone was deliberately plotting rebellion, but you pretended not to know, and even connived at these rebels."

"You're the one who deserves to be killed."

Qin Fan narrowed his eyes and stared at Han Fei deadly.

Being stared at by such a person, Rao is Han Fei couldn't help but be frightened, and a chill ran down his spine.

"Han Fei, let me ask you for the last time, did anyone tell you who the rebel was?" Qin Fan asked in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Han Fei's eyebrows jerked and said, "That's right, someone did instruct me."

"Who?" Qin Fan snorted and said, "Say."

"It doesn't hurt to tell you."

Han Fei snorted coldly and said, "It's Wang Yuanwai."

"Outside the King?"

Hearing this, Qin Fan frowned slightly.

Although he had heard of this king, he was not familiar with it, and he seemed to have nothing to do with him.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Qin Fan's mind, "I know, it's the palace."

Qin Fan's guess was not wrong, just last night, Han Fei learned about the contradiction between the Lin Mansion and the Wangfu from an old friend, and decided to take the opportunity to fall into the well, bring down the Wangfu, and dominate Wannian County.

"Han Fei, let me ask you one last time, did the palace order you?" Qin Fan asked again.

"Huh." Han Fei sneered, raised his head arrogantly and said, "Lord Qin, don't bother about this matter, I, Han Fei, have a clear conscience in my life."

"Really? Well, since that's the case. Then you should immediately send someone to arrest the king." Qin Fan ordered in a deep voice.

Hearing this, Han Fei was stunned for a moment, then shook his head bitterly and said, "Lord Qin, forgive me for not being able to obey your will."

Seeing this, Qin Fan was puzzled and said in surprise, "Oh? What do you mean?"

Han Fei said: "I, Han Fei, have been loyal to the court and Your Majesty all my life. If you send troops to encircle and suppress the royal family because of your words, won't it bring shame on Your Majesty?"

Qin Fan laughed angrily and said, "Okay, Han Fei, Han Fei, are you shirking your own responsibility?"

"I don't dare." Han Fei lowered his head and replied in fear.

Looking at the former colleague in front of him, Qin Fan couldn't help but feel disappointed.

In the past, he always thought that Han Fei was a real man like him, a hot-blooded man.
