A team of armored soldiers broke into the Fanjiatang house.

Seeing this, the second child of the Fan family was like waking up from a dream, he trembled with fright, and trembled: "Who are you waiting for?" What is the matter with trespassing on my Fan family! ”

"Killing people to pay for their lives, debts to pay back, the blood debt owed by the Fan family, it's time to pay it back."

The leader of the soldiers, whose face was expressionless, said in a cold tone.

"What!?"

When the second child of the Fan family heard this, he almost didn't jump up, and said angrily: "Hugh is talking nonsense!" ”

"Heh, don't you know it in your heart?" The leader of the soldiers said coldly.

Then the ears cut off by the soldiers were thrown to the ground.

This scene made Fan Wenlong, who was sitting on the Taishi chair without saying a word, his face changed drastically, and his pupils shrank, he never imagined that his family guards would be killed so easily, and he didn't even have a chance to resist.

This is the family foundation accumulated by their Fan family for several generations, and it is also the foundation of their hegemony!

However, Fan Wenlong was the head of the family after all, he took a deep breath, tried to calm the panic in his heart, and shouted, "Who are you? ”

The second child also said with a strong heart: "You dare to attack my Fan family, are you not afraid of retaliation if you do this?" ”

"Revenge? Hehe, the Fan family, no matter how powerful they are, they are just a small country tyrant after all. ”

"Do you think that with your relationship in the county, you can keep you?"

The leader of the soldiers sneered: "Don't dream, the Fan family is destined to be razed to the ground." ”

As soon as the words fell, the leader of the soldiers waved his hand, and immediately, more than a dozen soldiers brushed and drew their knives, and their fierce eyes locked on Fan Wenlong, causing his cold hairs to explode and his hairs to stand on end.

It wasn't until this moment that the last bit of luck in Fan Wenlong's heart completely dissipated.

But until now, he didn't know which immortal he had offended, and he could send an army to deal with him, a local tyrant in the countryside.

Fan Wenlong was already completely flustered, and as soon as his confidence was released, he began to talk nonsense.

"Y-What do you want to do!"

"You guys. . . You can't kill me. ”

"I'm the guest of honor of the county magistrate, and if you kill me, you won't be able to escape punishment."

What I want to say here is that the county magistrate that Fan Wenlong repeatedly mentioned is not because he has little knowledge and has never seen a big official, but because, in Changzhou Mansion, the county magistrate of Wujin County really has a good card.

Changzhou has five counties under its jurisdiction, in addition to the well-known Wuxi, Jiangyin, Yixing three counties, as well as Jingjiang County, which has jurisdiction over the heart of the river, in addition, it is Wujin County, where the capital of Changzhou is located.

In other words, the county order of Wujin County is naturally half a level higher than that of other counties.

And what is Changzhou Mansion?

Lu Youzhi clearly said in "The Story of Changzhou Running Bull Gate": The Fang court is in the old capital, and it really admires the wealth of the southeast, and Zhongwu is especially rooted in the southeast, and the proverb is 'Su Changshu, the world is full'.

The prefectures in the Taihu Lake area in the south of the Yangtze River, with 6% of the country's cultivated area, have paid 23% of the grain tax, which is simply drooling from fat.

However, looking back at the present, even if the Wujin County Commander is capable, it is still far away that the water cannot save the near fire.

Fan Wenlong said in a panic, although he is not an ordinary person, where has he ever seen this kind of scene?

At this moment, his legs and feet were weak, and without the support of the Taishi chair, he almost fell to the ground.

"Huh, kill you? We still don't want to get our hands dirty. ”

The leader of the soldiers glanced at him coldly, and then shouted, "Tie me up!" Escort out for public trial! ”

"Yes!"

The soldiers responded violently, and then stepped forward one after another to restrain Fan Wenlong and the second child of the Fan family.

The second child of the Fan family was tied up like a rice dumpling, he struggled desperately, screaming: "Help, help, come someone"

However, there was silence and no sound.

Obviously, the surviving servants of the Fan family had long been far away.

"Take it away!"

The leader of the soldiers waved his hand, and suddenly, the two of them were carried down like pigs.

"Woo Wow ~ Woo Wow ~"

Fan Lao Er was gagged, and he couldn't cry if he wanted to.

Soon, the two were thrown to a temporary high platform at the entrance of the village, and people were watching the excitement in all directions.

"Look, isn't that the master of the Fan family?"

"Huh? It's really, how did you fall like this? I heard that it was very majestic before. ”

"Hehe, let's report it to the world, who let him do bad things."

"Shhh

"Afraid of what? Could it be that the Fan family still dares to retaliate against us? ”

The people talked a lot, and some people, even though they saw the Fan family ruined, still dispersed in fear.

However, many more people gathered in place, waiting for the results.

Some people, waiting for this result, have been waiting for many years.

Soon, the soldiers arrived in a crowd with one man on horseback.

I saw that this man was in his forties, wearing a scarlet robe, riding a big white horse under his crotch, with extraordinary demeanor and quite imposing.

It's not someone else, it's the phoenix. Lord Song Li.

Song Li walked up to the stage and said to the surroundings.

"Fellow villagers! Please come out today, the national teacher who is actually a disaster relief knows your grievances, so he specially upholds justice, and will never let a place like the Fan family dominate the fish and meat town! ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience boiled.

"The old thief of the Fan family should be damned! The National Teacher will eliminate harm for the people! ”

"The old dog of the Fan family deserves it! Thank you, Master Guoshi! ”

"The National Teacher has won the Tao for a thousand years!"

The people shouted excitedly.

"That's it! Be quiet! ”

Then, Song Li turned around and snorted coldly at the two kneeling at the bottom of the steps: "You still don't admit your guilt? Is it possible to ask the official to show you the evidence? ”

Fan Lao Er was already trembling with fright, and his legs were weak.

Fan Wenlong sat directly on the ground, his face pale, but he held on and sneered.

"Haha~ What a national teacher, he dares to reverse black and white and forcibly frame our Fan family."

"Oh?"

Song Li raised his eyebrows, seemed to smile non-challenging, and then glanced at the soldiers in the audience.

"Come on, make the crimes of the Fan family public!"

The soldiers immediately crowded out of the crowd with some witnesses.

"Fan Er, do you know me?"

There was an old man who pointed at Fan Lao Er excitedly and said.

Fan Laoer's eyes were hollow, and he looked at the old man in front of him blankly.

"You brute! Brute! You've ruined my granddaughter, she's only a few years old! Are you still human! ”

The old man scolded angrily.

Beside him, another young woman cried: "At the beginning, it was the Fan family who forced my father and mother to sell me to him......"

"That's right, that's it!"

"I also remember that the second child of the Fan family once came to us to extort money!"

"At that time, he threatened us!"

One witness after another stood up and accused the Fan family of evil deeds with tears in their eyes.

Fan Lao Er on the high platform seemed to be stupid, standing in place with empty eyes, as if he couldn't hear any sound at all.

"Hahaha, the Fan family is dead."

"Tsk, this time, the Fan family is completely planted"

There were sighs and sighs from the crowd, and various voices were intertwined.

"Quiet, quiet!"

Song Li waved his hand, signaling that the people did not need to make noise, and then pondered for a while, and said loudly: "Today, this official is here to announce an important matter - the Fan family's crimes are monstrous, and they have lost their conscience, and the evil deeds they have done are too numerous to mention. ”

"Today, on behalf of the National Teacher, this official will openly try Fan Wenlong!"

Song Li raised his horsewhip and whipped it to the ground, and in an instant, the dust was flying.

"Smack!"

A crisp sound rang out.

"Second Fan Lao, the official asked you, who instructed you to seek money and kill people, and blame others?"

"Ugh"

Hearing this, Fan Laoer's face changed, and his eyes flickered.

"Huh?"

The leader of the soldiers beside him raised his eyebrows and sneered: "It seems that you are trying to delay time?" Come on, cut off one of his fingers first! ”

"Wait!"

Seeing this scene, Fan Lao Er finally became anxious and hurriedly shouted: "I said, I said." ”

"It's my dad."

"Your father?" Song Li asked pretending to be surprised.

"You! Unfilial son! ”

Fan Wenlong looked at his son in disbelief, and hit him repeatedly, completely crushing his mind.

At this moment, looking at the untouchables who were not worth mentioning in the eyes of the audience in the past, they were able to judge themselves publicly, Fan Wenlong actually vomited blood.

The corners of Song Li's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a mocking arc.

Immediately, he raised his head, looked at the surging people under the high platform, raised the Shang Fang Treasure Knife authorized to him by Jiang Xinghuo in his hand, and said in a loud voice: "Now, this official announces that the Fan family will be sentenced to the evil head and beheaded!" ”

Fan Wenlong wanted to say something, however, Wang Bin drew the knife cleanly.

"Wow!" Blood spurts.

With the fall of Fan Wenlong's head, a harm that has plagued the local area for many years was finally brought to justice.

The audience burst into deafening cheers!

This time, I finally have an explanation for the word "justice".

And when Fan Wenlong was dying, he didn't understand why the national teacher would attack such a small and unsmall character as him.

National teacher, sitting high and talking about the Tao, is it to weigh the world, plan the existence of the universe, and kill such a small person as him, is it worthy of such a high force?

Jiang Xinghuo didn't see this scene, he had already embarked on a new journey non-stop, but no matter what, he always firmly believed that what he did was meaningful.

If he knew Fan Wenlong's doubts, he would definitely answer him in the affirmative.

- That's right!

The compulsion to give a lecture in prison is very high, but in Jiang Xinghuo's eyes, he has said a thousand truths, and it is better to do a practical thing for the people.

The meaning of coming to the countryside is not only to come here, but to conduct field investigations, understand the needs of the people, and solve the difficulties of the people.

Because it is the "little person" who is nothing, such as the landlord Fan, who is the one who really causes difficulties to the people in the people, townships, and grassroots.

And it was the thousands of "Fan landlords" that caused the stagnation of the social process in the Ming Dynasty, resulting in the peasants being tied to the farmland by means of violence and tenant relations, and unable to become part of the handicraft workshop.

The significance of this matter lies in the fact that with the first knife to the "Fan landlord", there will be countless knives in the future, and when a new road is paved with dripping blood, the change is really on the ground, winning the hearts of the people, and making the people believe in you and follow your layout.

Otherwise, if you are high above and do not have the support and support of the people, you will always be a rootless wanderer!

"Fellow villagers, the matter of the Fan family has been resolved, and next, let's talk about disaster relief."

"Master Guoshi asked me to tell you that the imperial court has not forgotten you, and the disaster relief food will be allocated immediately!"

Song Li looked around and announced loudly.

"Good!"

There were deafening shouts from the audience.

Immediately afterward, Song Li began to talk about how to deal with the aftermath.

He spoke very seriously, no matter how big or small, most of them were of great concern to the people, and they could be called trivial matters, and then he answered the people's questions.

The people may not have such a high pattern, they don't understand too many big truths, and they even hide a lot of ridiculous thoughts that can be seen through at a glance, but Song Li is not bored, but patiently answers the people's questions.

Finally, Song Li concluded his speech: "The change presided over by the National Teacher is for the sake of the common people in the world, and today's local bullies, in the name of the imperial court, do things that hinder the change of the law, which is destined to be unpopular with the people." ”

"The people's will is like water, and no one can do things against the people's will."

Song Li pointed to Fan Wenlong, who was in a different place, and said loudly.

"As Du Zimei said, Er Cao's body and name are destroyed, and the rivers and rivers will not be wasted!"

looked at the people in the audience, and there was a different look in his eyes.

Song Li knew that the change of law had really begun in the locality.

If you want to change the law, you must first correct people's hearts.

What is the human heart?

In front of us is the human heart.

——————

Wujin County County.

Yao Gongzhi, the county magistrate, was sitting on a chair with his eyes closed, and next to him stood Li Hu, the head catcher of the county.

"Huzi, this official heard that something happened in Fanjia Village?" Yao Gongzhi asked lightly.

"Yes, my lord, the boss of the Fan family came to find his subordinates in person." Li Hu replied respectfully.

Yao Gongzhi opened his eyes, a meaningful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said quietly: "Fan Wenlong is usually bold and reckless, right now, the national teacher of the five prefectures of Chang, Su, Song, Jia, and Hu who is the governor of the imperial court is about to cross the border, and the official doesn't want to hear any untimely voices, not only the official doesn't want to hear it, but the prefect doesn't want to either, understand?" ”

Li Hu was stunned and asked suspiciously, "What do you mean, my lord?"

"Tomorrow, you personally lead the team to check the situation near Qingpingbo, if the Fan family provokes hard stubble and is destroyed, whether it is a bandit or a real civil unrest, suppress it, don't let this matter cause much turmoil. At present, everything is based on stability, and we will wait for the national teacher to come over from our Changzhou Mansion, and then make plans. ”

After that, Yao Gongzhi didn't seem to be at ease, and gave another instruct.

"Don't make trouble, Changzhou Mansion is the first stop of the national teacher, as long as there is no chaos, he will soon pass, his ultimate goal must be Songjiang Mansion, where the people are in turmoil, I heard that there is really the shadow of the White Lotus Sect."

"Yes, my subordinates understand!"

Li Hu nodded heavily, but he was shocked in his heart, the White Lotus Sect can't wait to ignore it.

Yao Gongzhi was naturally satisfied when he saw that the other party was upright, and then ordered: "By the way, send someone to keep an eye on the people of the Fan family, especially the boss of the Fan family, to see which forces he has been in close contact with recently, and if he finds any clues, he will tell me the news." ”

"Subordinates obey!"

Li Hu took the order, then turned around and left.

Looking at the back of Li Hu leaving, Yao Gongzhi muttered:

"I hope that the prefect's incident will not be exposed. I heard that a fellow villager Jingguan said that this national teacher is not a good match. ”

And right now.

Jiang Xinghuo rode a small gray horse, pretended to be a merchant with Wang Bin and a few others, and entered Wujin County, where the Changzhou government was located.

From the very beginning, Jiang Xinghuo noticed that Changzhou Mansion seemed to hide a lot of secrets.
