Of course, these three also have comrades. This fellow party is a servant who is good at imitating the sounds of various animals.

The three of them plan to kill Zhou Wen first tonight, disguised as the scene of the murder of the changing woman.

The three of them found another reason to find Chang Feng.

When they arrived in front of Chang Feng, the same party would make a ghost cry to mislead Chang Feng when he killed someone.

However, their trick is really not clever in front of Chang Feng, the second shopkeeper of Jinyiwei. At best, it's just self-inflicted.

The three confessed to the truth. Chang Feng ordered the men to lock up their comrades.

Then Chang Feng said to Jin Bao: "Your daughter was ruined to death by Chief Lin and a group of officials. It's understandable that you took revenge and killed Chief Lin. ”

"But if you kill the next three chiefs one after another, you will be killing innocents indiscriminately!"

Jin Bao snorted coldly: "These so-called chiefs, when they came to Yinjiang, they colluded with Tusi to oppress the people, and they are also damned people." I am doing the right thing for heaven! ”

Chang Feng sighed: "You have your reasons." I have my own laws. The law of the Ming Dynasty, killing people pays for their lives, and debts are repaid. ”

Lin Sanjiu laughed on the side: "National law? Hahaha! This ridiculous law of the Ming Dynasty only protects the powerful and rich! ”

Chang Feng is stopped. Is it not just the law of the Ming Dynasty? This has been the case throughout the ages.

Xu Fatzi said: "Master Chang, what should I do with these three people?" Kill on the spot? ”

Chang Feng said: "Keep the three of them first." I worked. Go and call Gao Chenghu, the inspector. ”

After a while, Gao Chenghu came to the lobby.

Chang Feng said: "I put you in prison for two days, and you have been wronged." ”

Gao Chenghu asked bluntly: "Chang said that he would seek justice for my brother Paoze." A big guy like you has to spit a nail! ”

Chang Feng nodded: "You can rest assured!" I have already handed the emperor a memorabilia, participated in the impeachment of the Guangxi Metropolitan Division, the greedy and loyal martyrs, and beat the meritorious veterans. ”

"In addition, I ask the emperor to promote you to the commander of the affairs. Bear mercy on your robes. ”

"I will never let a hero shed blood and tears!"

Gao Chenghu arched his hand: "Thank you for your business." ”

Chang Feng turned his head to look at Zhou Wen again: "Zhou Wen, you have been in office for three years, and you have been afraid all day long because you are deeply involved in the legend of the ghost yamen. He has made no achievements in government affairs. ”

"And you are really greedy for ten thousand taels of silver. Although this is an unwritten rule among the officials in Guizhou. But he still violated the law of the land. ”

"I'm going to punish you!"

Zhou Wen arched his hand: "Chang Yishi saved my life." I willingly accept whatever punishment is given to me. ”

Chang Feng thought for a while and said, "I'll punish you for staying in Yinjiang." Be the first magistrate of Yinjiang! ”

Zhou Wen was surprised: "Chang Yi really wants to implement the reform of the land and return to the stream? ”

Chang Feng nodded: "That's right." This time, the emperor sent me to Qianjiang to find out the truth about the ghost yamen. The most important purpose is to promote the transformation of the land and return it to the river. ”

"You have to be the first governor of Yinjiang. Do things for the people. ”

"In addition, all your 10,000 taels of tax silver will be confiscated. It will be used as a fund for the implementation of land reform and repatriation. ”

Zhou Wen kowtowed: "Thank you for your great kindness!" ”

Chang Feng instructed Xu Fatzi: "Ye Dudu has been feeding mosquitoes in Fanjing Mountain for three days. Let him and his brothers go into a lawsuit. ”

Xu Fatzi took the order and left.

Next, Chang Feng will use force and wisdom to forcibly implement the reform of the land and return to the stream.

He knew in his heart that if he could handle this matter well, he would answer the exam questions given by Emperor Hongzhi. The next commander of the Jinyi Guard must be him.

Fat Xu pulled the letter arrow, and a bright light shot straight into the sky.

The two thousand Beijing battalions brought by Ye Guang to Yinjiang were assembled and began to descend the mountain.

Chang Feng stood on the wooden corridor of the outer watchtower, waiting for Ye Guang's arrival.

Sun Guishou came to Chang Feng's side: "Chang Ye is really shrewd and capable. It only took three days to find out the truth about the ghost yamen. ”

Chang Feng said: "It's not enough to worry about it." If I can't even understand a murder case that happened in the Liupin Yamen, what will the emperor talk about?"

At this point, Chang Feng stopped abruptly.

Sun Guishou said with a smile: "Chang Ye wants to say, why should the emperor hand over the entire Jinyi Guard to you, right?" ”

Chang Feng was silent. He didn't want to show his ambitions.

Any young person is ambitious. Changfeng is no exception.

Sun Guishou said meaningfully: "Since the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the great grandfather set up the Jinyi Guard. In one hundred and twelve years, there were a total of nineteen Jinyi Guard commanders. ”

"Seventeen of those who shall not die well. The remaining two who died well were not really in their hands, because they were only commanders under the guise of command. ”

Chang Feng was stunned when he heard this, and pinched his fingers with his hand and counted: "Mao Xiang, Jiang Xuan, Song Zhong, Ji Gang. Ah, as the old-timers said, only two of them had a good death. ”

Sun Guishou said: "The emperor values you, so he will naturally always give you real power, and will not let you be a guise in the brocade guard." ”

"If you want to die well, there is only one way!"

Chang Feng asked, "What's the way?" ”

Sun Guishou said: "Hidden behind the scenes, control the Jinyi Guard as a servant." Give up the title of Commander to someone else. ”

"You used to have a good strategy when you were the envoy of Beizhen. Let Channing stand in front of the stage and be your stand-in. ”

"Don't fail to resist the temptation of the title of commander and lose your life."

Chang Feng was entangled.

Everyone in the world knows that the bigger the official, the greater the risk.

Everyone in the civil service has a dream: to one day enter the cabinet and become a very popular minister.

Everyone dreams of becoming a commander one day.

Chang Feng is not a saint, and he is not exempt from vulgarity. The title of Commander is too tempting.

However, Sun Guishou was right. Among the nineteen commanders, none of the seventeen with real power died a good death.

How can Chang Feng expect to be a special case?

But you can think about it slowly. The most urgent task at the moment is to first carry out the reform of the land in Yinjiang and return it to the river.

Half an hour later, Ye Guang led two thousand Beijing battalion soldiers into the chief lawsuit.

Chang Feng arched his hand towards Ye Guang: "Ye Dudu, you and your brothers have suffered in Fanjing Mountain for the past three days!" ”

Ye Guang disagreed: "It doesn't matter. Those who are soldiers should endure hardship. If you are bitten by a mosquito, you can do everything! ”

Chang Feng said: "The brothers have to hide in the watchtowers before dawn and lay in ambush. Tomorrow I will set up a Hongmen feast and invite the toasts to eat. ”

Ye Guang was puzzled: "You told me when you were in Sinan Xuanfu Division, those landlord snakes are very cunning. Will they come as promised? ”

Chang Feng smiled: "They will definitely come!" Because the banquet they ate was the funeral banquet of the former governor Zhou Wen and the current governor Chang Huayu! ”

As soon as the sky was bright, Chang Feng sent a servant to report the funeral to the four major toasts in the name of the tax collector Huang Liang. lied that last night's long lawsuit made another mess. The changing woman killed Zhou Wen and "Chang Huayu".

With the mentality of watching the excitement, the four major toasts each brought one or two hundred people to the chief lawsuit.

Mrs. Nine was wearing a filial piety robe, and Xu Fatzi was carrying a banner and standing in front of the suspension bridge of the long lawsuit.

Xu Fatzi wears a filial piety hat and carries a banner on his shoulders, and he is a fat filial son.

Chang Feng has a sense of humor. The banquet did not forget to take advantage of Xu Fatzi.

After a short time, the four great toasts walked in front of the Ninth Lady.

The Ninth Lady cried so much that it rained, and shouted in Tujia dialect: "My husband, why did you go like this!" My life is so miserable! ”

Tujia Tusi was surprised: "Madam, are you a Tujia family?" ”

The Ninth Lady nodded: "Exactly." ”

The Miao family toast smiled: "What, the forehead, you have taken a fancy to her?" She is now a widow. You can marry home as a concubine. ”

The Dong family Tusi said: "Isn't it a pity that such a wonderful woman has given the amount of land?" It's better to get me cheaper! ”

Among the four major toasts, the Tujia Tusi is the most benevolent and treats the clansmen best.

But the power of the Tujia people is the smallest in Yinjiang.

The Miao, Dong, and Yi ethnic groups joined forces and have been bullying the Tujia people all these years.

The Ninth Lady said, "Four of you, please come in." Ah, can your soldiers and horses wait for the chief lawsuit? Save the soul of my husband. ”

The former governor and the current governor are dead. Jin Bao, Huang Liang, and Lin Sanjiu collude with each other on weekdays and have a good relationship.

They were relieved and boldly entered the long lawsuit.

Mrs. Nine and Fatzi Xu followed them, walked up the suspension bridge, and returned to the chief lawsuit.

The crowd came to the lobby.

Where are the coffins and plain coffins in the lobby? Chang Feng and Zhou Wen sat in the lobby dignifiedly.

The Miao family toast was furious: "You are playing us? ”

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "I don't say that we are dead, will you not bring soldiers and horses into the long lawsuit?" ”

"Come on, give the order to go down and put away the drawbridge!"

The Miao family toast asked Chang Feng: "What do you mean?" ”

Chang Feng said: "My meaning is very simple! Change the land and return to the stream! Abolish your hereditary position as Toast. In the future, there will be no toast in Yinjiang, only Zhixian! ”

"All the powers to govern the people, collect taxes, and punish prisons are all returned to the county government!"

"Disband all your armies!"

"You will henceforth be like the common people. At most, they are only rich of different races! ”

The Miao family toast sneered: "You think beautifully!" There are 50,000 people in our four families and 5,000 soldiers! ”

"At this moment, we are outside the yamen, although we have only brought four or five hundred people. But with the more than 100 officials and people in the long lawsuit, can they stop them? ”

Chang Feng didn't care: "Who told you that there are only more than 100 officials and strong people in the chief lawsuit?" ”

After speaking, Chang Feng put his finger into his mouth and whistled.

More than 2,000 soldiers of the Beijing battalion came out of the watchtower and stood on the wooden corridor and the wall. They were all armed with swords, guns, bows and arrows. There were also two or three hundred muskets, and a dozen iron cannons.

Chang Feng said to the four toasts: "You go to the door of the lobby and have a look!" ”

The four toasts came to the door of the lobby and were immediately dumbfounded.

After a few moments, they turned around in frustration.

Miao Tusi asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

Chang Feng said with a smile: "After the land was changed and returned, the chief official became the county yamen. No more diversion of officials and local officials. ”

"Deprive you of your hereditary position as toast. I feel sorry for you. ”

"From now on, please live in the county office. I have elevated you to be the scribe in the sixth room, and I will give you a position! ”

The Miao family Tusi said angrily: "Do you think that everything will be fine for us if we are imprisoned? My people will save me! ”

"If you kill me, my people will avenge me!"

Chang Feng was shocked: "What are you, dare to threaten the imperial court?" ”

"Will your people save you? The Yinjiang Miao family has been squeezed by your Tusi family for hundreds of years. You take them and take them, and lynch them at every turn. ”

"Those Miao family members are like your slaves. The Tusi family, who have long hated you and hated you, hated you so much that the root of their teeth itched! ”

"Change the land and return to the stream, they clap their hands and say it's too late! How can you help the abuse, launch a rebellion for your enemy, and disobey the court? ”

The Miao family toast was a little timid, but he still had the courage to say, "Even if those cheap bones support you." My soldiers will not support you! They will"

Chang Feng smiled: "If I tell your clan soldiers, as long as they put down their swords and guns." What about the imperial court agreeing to them to divide the wealth of the old Tusi? ”

The Miao family Tusi was dumbfounded: "Let the clan soldiers divide up my family wealth?" ”

Chang Feng nodded: "People die for money, and birds die for food." I think the same is true of the soldiers who were loyal to you. ”

"As long as the Yinjiang Miao people are willing to support the imperial court to change the land and return to the stream. The Clan Soldiers can divide your money. Ordinary Miao people can divide your land. ”

"I don't believe it, they are willing to die for you?"

"Not to mention, Yinjiang has just stationed two thousand elite soldiers from the imperial court!"

The Tusi family has been riding on the heads of ordinary people for hundreds of years. Chang Feng now gave them a chance to take revenge, and at the same time get money, grain, and land.

It's no wonder they don't enthusiastically support the change of land and return to the stream!

Chang Feng turned his head to look at the other three toasts: "You are the same!" ”

Tujia Tusi is a good person. He was the first to stand up: "We, the Yinjiang Tujia, are willing to cooperate with the imperial court and implement the reform of the land and return to the stream." ”

The Miao family's toast waited for a glance: "Do you want to be a lackey of the Han family?" ”

Chang Feng imitated the tone of the Miao family's toast and said: "Our Han family has an old saying, called Xixi dancer Wei Junjie. I think the means I have at the moment are enough to shut up your Excellency. ”

The Dong family Tusi said: "You instigated the cheap bones to divide up our property. You're bending! ”

"We are good friends with the Huang family. The Huang family has someone in the court! They will impeach you to the court! ”

Chang Feng glanced at Xu Fatzi and said with a smile: "Fatty, they scared me to death!" ”

Turning his head, Chang Feng glared angrily at the Dong family toast: "Huang Liang has been arrested by me." I have already interrogated clearly, and the Huang family only spent a few thousand silver to make friends with three dogs in the capital. ”

"Do you know who I am?"

The Dong family Tusi said: "Aren't you the new chief of Yinjiang?" ”

Xu Fatzi scolded him: "Blind your dog's eyes!" The person in front of you is the Jinyi Guard's commander Zuo Yanchang! The big red man in front of the emperor! ”

The Dong family Tusi had limited knowledge, so he asked, "What kind of official is that?" ”

Xu Fatzi said angrily: "Let's put it this way, even if the governor of Guizhou sees our Chang Ye, he has to kowtow!" ”

Xu Fatzi pointed at himself again: "Fat man, I am Xu Guangzuo, the prince of Dingguo!" Will we be afraid of a few small broken imperial histories handed over by the Huang family in Beijing? ”

The four toasts are now completely arrogant.

Chang Feng pointed at Zhou Wen: "Why don't you hurry up and bow to the new Yinjiang Magistrate, Lord Zhou Wenzhou?" ”

The four toasts had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow to Zhou Wen.

Chang Feng said: "Press down." Take care of it first. ”

Hit the snake and hit the seven inches, and the thief will capture the king first. In addition, Chang Feng pinched 2,000 Beijing battalion soldiers in one hand, and held the decree of fighting the toast and dividing the fields with the other.

The reform of the Yinjiang River has been carried out in full swing.

As expected. The soldiers received the money from the Tusi family. Ordinary people were given the mountains, forests, and land of the Tusi family. They all wept with gratitude to the Yinjiang County Ya.

How could they, who had benefited from it, rebel for the sake of the toast that had oppressed them for hundreds of years?

The situation in Yinjiang is not a small good, not a big good, but very good!

Chang Feng stayed in Yinjiang for a whole month. Yinjiang County has become a model for land reform and return.

Then he beheaded the three murderers Jin Bao, Huang Liang, and Lin Sanjiu who pretended to be gods and ghosts in public.

For the Huang family, Chang Feng is not soft.

The Huang family has been entrenched in Yinjiang for more than 100 years and has done many evils. The list of crimes committed is too numerous to mention.

Chang Feng directly copied the Huang family. All the money obtained will go to the county government. In the future, it will be used to compensate the people of Miao, Tu, Yi and Dong.

A month later, Chang Feng set off and returned to Sinan Xuanwei Division.

Yang Yiqing's first words when he saw Chang Feng were: "Chang Yishi, you have done a great job in Yinjiang!" ”
