Sun Zhixian was under pressure from Zhang Xiancheng, who had been operating in Lin'an County for many years and had infiltrated the yamen and the network at all levels.

The angry teeth clucked, and he raised his hand and dropped a set of his favorite tea cups.

said indignantly: "It's really too deceitful to be so arrogant." ”

Master Fang lowered his eyes, he had been working in the yamen for many years, and he knew that it was not appropriate to say anything at this time.

Sun Zhixian came to Lin'an County for less than two years, and Zhang Xiancheng has been operating here for nearly ten years.

As soon as the time of each county order arrives, most of them will be transferred and promoted again.

In this way, whether it is the officials in the yamen, or the wealthy merchants and squires in the city, they are more willing to hold the thighs of staying in the local area for a long time to be the county governor, and they are willing to ask him for shelter in everything.

As a result, they have formed a network of relationships, and if the transferred county order does not have a strong backstage, it will be suppressed by the county governor of the county.

Just like Sun Zhixian, who was suppressed by Zhang Xiancheng like a trapped beast at this time.

Seeing that the tax and grain can't be collected now, and the officials below are grinding and chirping, Sun Zhixian knows that it is Zhang Xiancheng who is making him stumble.

But when the time came, the taxes and grain could not be paid, and he was the chief official of a county who was most responsible.

Sun Zhixian glanced at Master Fang with some guilt, sighed helplessly, and opened his mouth hesitantly.

Master Fang's eyes flashed, and in front of Sun Zhixian's exit, he showed a wry smile and said: "It is the duty of subordinates to share the worries of adults, and nothing is important to collect this year's taxes."

Although my nephew was seriously injured by the young master of the Kun family, after all, his life is not in danger, and he doesn't have to worry about what the adults want to do. ”

Master Fang gritted his back molars, hating to death in his heart, but he had to say these words.

Even if he didn't say it, Master Fang knew that Sun Zhixian would still compromise with Zhang Xiancheng to release Kun Guangcai in order to pay the tax and grain by the way.

If that's really the case, it's better to give him a favor yourself, so that Sun Zhixian feels guilty, and he hates and dislikes Zhang Xiancheng's suppression even more.

Sun Zhixian's understanding of the other party's master book and current affairs was both guilty and appreciative, thinking that he would have the opportunity to compensate him and his nephew for the grievances they suffered this time in the future.

However, because Sun Zhixian was dissatisfied with Zhang Xiancheng and the Kun family, he still forced the Kun family to compensate Jiang Zhou for 1,000 taels of silver, and then agreed to release Kun Guangcai.

Although Mrs. Kun was reluctant and felt that the Jiang family was poor and sour the lion opened her mouth, but under the mastery of Master Kun, she still asked the housekeeper to send a thousand taels to the Jiang family.

Although the amount of silver in this compensation is a lot, it is just a drizzle for a wealthy businessman like the Kun family, and it is not worth mentioning.

However, Master Kun is not a reasonable person, or he would not have taught a son like Kun Guangcai, and their family did not go to the Jiang family to apologize for Kun Guangcai's hurtful things.

This also made the Jiang family and his wife grit their teeth under the persuasion of Master Fang, and accepted this batch of compensation silver.

After the housekeeper of the Kun family walked away with his head held high, Mrs. Jiang almost fainted in anger, and looked at her eldest brother who loved her with dissatisfaction.

Master Fang rubbed it with a headache, although he and his brother-in-law's family were not rich and noble, they were not short of food, drink and flowers, and it was really not rare to have this thousand taels of silver.

Looking at his only sister looking at herself with tears in her eyes, how could Master Fang not feel distressed or angry.

So he looked at his sister and his wife, and had no choice but to explain: "Even if you don't accept this thousand taels of silver, the county magistrate will find an excuse in a few days, and directly turn the big thing into a small thing, and turn it into a small thing." ”

"How so?" Fang Zhou's father couldn't believe it: "Hurting people in public like this, how can you say that this crime is not small, how can you say that you can let it go." ”

"Hmph, Sun Zhixian was pinched by Zhang Xiancheng for seven inches, and he couldn't pay the taxes and grain, so he had to be punished if he wasn't demoted."

"He finally went from the Hanmen Imperial Examination, wasted his strength, and came to Lin'an County, a relatively rich county, to be the magistrate."

"How could he be willing to leave a stain on his political performance because of this incident, and delay his promotion when he fails the rating."

Mrs. Jiang, "Brother, I felt uncomfortable when my son was injured like that, and the culprit was released like this." ”

"The eldest brother is willing, but we are unwilling to reconcile, which refutes Sun Zhixian's face.

Not to mention the Kun family's 1,000 taels of compensation silver.

At that time, I am afraid that Sun Zhixian will agree that Zhou'er and Kun Guangcai were in a brothel and fought for prostitutes, which will affect your son's reputation in the future. ”

"Ahh This... This ......" Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang looked at each other, even if they were unwilling, they could only endure it.

Master Fang saw that the husband and wife understood that it was powerful, and they didn't want to stay longer, so they left after saying a word.

After An Xin found out, he took a few people to visit Jiang Zhou and asked him how he wanted Kun Guangcai to die.

Jiang Zhou looked at his little mountain chief and several senior brothers who wanted justice for him, leaned on the bed and closed his eyes, his heart was both moved and warm.

For my uncle and father to agree to reconcile, I know that they must be helpless, but I feel a little uncomfortable.

Jiang Zhou looked at An Xin and said in a sincere tone, "You're right, if I stopped studying at that time, I would really have to admit the injury I suffered this time."

But now that I've figured it out, a county can influence a case, and if we ordinary people want to have a voice, we really have to pass the imperial examination to do it. ”

Those who have already come into contact with some things, Leng Xiangbai and Zhu Shijing nodded in agreement.

Jiang Zhou's words of understanding also made An Rui and Liu Boxing, who had no goal for the imperial examination, feel a little.

Two people who were originally inspirational to gnaw at the old and were not self-motivated, used to rely on An Xin's spur to study, and then they were more serious when they studied and took scientific exams.

An Xin: "Do you want to wait until you are admitted to the imperial examination, and then come back to take revenge?" ”

Jiang Zhou nodded: "Yes!" ”

An Xin smiled brightly and said an inexplicable word: "I advise you to pay as soon as possible, otherwise the enemy is dead, and you haven't gotten up from bed yet." ”

A few days later, before Jiang Zhou could figure it out.

The Kun family and Zhang Xiancheng were both arrested into the big guys.

The reason is that the governor Yamen, who is in charge of Cao Yun, received an anonymous report that a surprise inspection of a cargo ship in Lin'an County found entrained illicit salt in the goods of the Kun family.

After An Xin heard about it, he gave Li Ziyu a thumbs up, which was the first to strike.

Before the Kun family had time, they planted the illicit salt in the tea box they brought back, so they found someone to anonymously report that there was someone on the ship selling illicit salt in advance.

The governor of Caoyun, Yamen, reacted very quickly in this matter, and followed the confession of the supervisor of the Kun family's escort of the goods, and successfully found the Kun family's upper family who was selling illicit salt.

This is the turn of the Kun family, who have always been arrogant and unreasonable.
