Taishou paused and told Li Zhutou that these people were obviously related to the Bafang Dart Bureau. Because of this, this group of people did not dare to openly offend the government. You can run a monk, but you can't run the temple. If the other party dares to be unfavorable to him, and then escapes, the government can naturally go to the dart bureau to find an important person. If the other party is really a secret envoy, and he does not reveal his identity to the public, it will only be beneficial to us, not harmful. Li Dutou was puzzled by this.

Taishou believed that Qian Zhuang and Yanxing relied on the strength of the people, and had the support of the court officials, and they had always been tyrannical, doing evil, and doing many evil things to oppress the people. These things are very clear to the people of Ruzhou.

Taishou also reported to his superiors and the imperial court, and asked for a competent person to be sent to solve the problem. But there was no answer to his request, and Taishou knew that someone must have secretly seized his letter.

Now that the secret envoy has killed the shopkeeper of the salt store, he must have known about the misdeeds of the salt store, so he punished him. Then for Qian Zhuang's evil deeds, the secret envoy must have been very clear, so he came to punish him.

When the secret envoy sees that he is too guarded, he will inevitably blame himself for not governing the place effectively. If the secret envoy receives him under the public court, won't he let himself lose face as a man who is too guarded? This is detrimental to the image of the imperial court. In this way, the appearance of the secret envoy will soon spread throughout Ruzhou. If the secret envoy wants to make a private visit, it will be difficult to do it. If summoned alone, these problems would naturally not exist.

Li Dutou suddenly realized that he was too guarded. Taishou smiled slightly and did not continue. Before they knew it, they had come to Liangchen.

Li Dutou said to Liangchen: "Girl, this is Lord Liu, the Taishou of Ruzhou." ”

Liangchen bowed to Taishou and said, "The secret envoy has followed Liangchen and has seen Lord Liu. ”

Liu Taishou looked at Liangchen and saw that she had a round face, white and red, and smiled slightly, like a blooming peony. Although she wears ordinary women's clothes, her temperament is not inferior to everyone's beauty. Carrying a sword on his back adds a bit of handsomeness and chic.

Liu Taishou secretly thought that in the end, it was the person around the Qin Secret Envoy, and a retinue woman was so extraordinary. He didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly returned the salute: "The girl is the person around the secret envoy, and she doesn't dare to be such a big gift to the girl." Please ask the girl to tell the informant, and Ruzhou Taishou Liu He asks to see. ”

Liangchen smiled slightly and said, "Lord Liu, you don't have to be polite, please come with me." After speaking, Liangchen turned around and walked first.

Liu Taishou and Li Dutou followed Liangchen and entered the Qianzhuang compound. As soon as the two entered the gate, they saw a young man in his twenties standing in front of them. I saw that although this person's appearance was ordinary and his figure was not very tall, he revealed an awe-inspiring righteousness everywhere, his eyes were bright, and he was holding a folding fan more than three feet long, standing in front of him with a lofty spirit.

Next to this person are two girls who are as beautiful as Liangchen, but their faces are as cold as frost, just like the cold plums in winter, beautiful and arrogant. They also had swords on their backs, and stood slim beside the young man.

Liangchen stepped forward and said to Feiyun: "Big brother, Ruzhou Taishou and Dutou ask to see you!" Feiyun nodded, letting Liangchen step aside.

Liu Taishou immediately bowed and said, "Ruzhou Taishou Liu He led his subordinates to see Lord Qincha in front of him!" "It stands to reason that they should bow down and see it. But after all, they didn't see the royal gold medal with their own eyes, so they naturally didn't dare to kneel rashly.

Feiyun didn't get angry, but said lightly: "My lord is polite." Second sister, please give the emperor's royal gold medal and let Lord Liu inspect it. ”

Liangchen answered, took out the gold medal from his arms, first showed the side of "patrolling on behalf of the sky", and then showed the side of "cutting first and then playing". Taishou carefully checked and confirmed that it was correct, and immediately knelt on the ground to bow to him, and Li Dutou also knelt and kowtowed.

Liu Taishou Mountain shouted: "Ruzhou Taishou Liu He meets the secret envoy, I wish the emperor long live, long live, long live!" ”

Feiyun stepped forward, helped Taishou up, and said, "Taishou, please get up, I have something to ask you." ”

Liu Taishou thanked Feiyun, and then Li Dutou stood up and said, "If the secret envoy has any orders, he will definitely go all out." ”

Feiyun asked coldly: "The salt shop and the money village in Ruzhou are rampant and domineering, and the people are fishy. As the Taishou of Ruzhou, you shouldn't be unaware of it, right? ”

Liu Taishou's face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly replied: "Return to the secret envoy, and the lowly position knows." In fact, it is not only the salt shop and the money village that are rampant, but there is also a platoon gang that is also the same. The lowly officials also wanted to punish them, but because of their great power, it was impossible to deal with them if they relied only on the power of the yamen. He once pleaded with the capital and asked for troops to come, but he never received a reply. ”

Feiyun asked in confusion, "What's going on?" Taishou shook his head, indicating that he didn't know what the reason was.

Taishou only expressed his suspicion that behind these gangs, there must be important officials of the imperial court secretly supporting. Feiyun secretly thought that this was possible, Ruzhou was so close to Luoyang, and it was naturally very easy for these forces to collude with the officials in the capital.

Feiyun guessed correctly, the supporter behind Qian Zhuang is Wu Sansi. Qian Zhuang has always given most of the money extorted to Wu Sansi in exchange for Wu Sansi's care in the court. It was through the relationship of Princess Taiping that the salt store was given the privilege of operating and trading salt. With the support of these two, Qian Zhuang and Yanxing are naturally rampant.

But recently, great changes have taken place in the capital, and Wu Zetian suddenly took back some of the power of Wu Sansi and Princess Taiping. Qian Zhuang and Yanxing felt that the crisis was coming soon, and they each prepared a countermeasure. Therefore, Du Feiying stepped up his plundering of the people, wanting to loot more money as soon as possible, and then use this money to bribe and bribe other court ministers. It's just that he didn't expect that this time he first met Lin Feng and then provoked Feiyun.

After all, Yanxing has close contacts with the government and is very clear about the internal situation of the imperial court. Shopkeeper Huang has prepared a lot of priceless antiques, and plans to use these to attach the current crown prince Li Dan. It's a pity that all the treasures he painstakingly collected were destroyed by Lan'er.

The shopkeeper heard that the prince was also very lustful, so he selected many beautiful women and prepared to offer them. After seeing Lan'er's peerless appearance, he felt that if he offered Lan'er to the prince, he would definitely be able to keep running the salt industry.

Thinking of this, Feiyun said to Liu Taishou: "If that's the case, I can't blame you entirely. But now the people led by Yanxing and Qianzhuang have been eliminated by us. The aftermath will be handled by you. and thou hast returned to the people the money which they had plundered from the people. The rest of the money should be confiscated and handed over to the imperial court. You can't take advantage of the opportunity to enrich your own pockets and bend the law for bribes. In the future, we should love the people and make decisions for the people. Otherwise, you should guess how it will end. ”

Liu Taishou didn't even dare to say it, swore allegiance to the imperial court, benefited the people, and said: "There is still a reluctant request for humiliation, and I hope that the secret envoy can help." ”

Feiyun asked, "Is there anything you want me to help with?" ”

Liu Taishou hurriedly replied: "The salt shop and the money village were eradicated by the secret envoy, which is naturally a very happy move. But there is still a platoon gang, and if there is no check and balance between the salt bank and the money village, I am afraid that they will take the opportunity to expand their power. I am afraid it will be difficult to do the strength of the yamen. Therefore, I would like to ask the secret envoy to take us to a trip to the platoon gang to completely eradicate this gang of people who have caused trouble in Ruzhou! ”

Before Feiyun could reply, Liangchen preemptively asked, "What is this platoon gang for?" How many people are there, how many masters are there? ”

Taishou turned to Li Dutou and said: "Li Dutou, you are more familiar with the situation of the platoon gang, please tell the envoy in detail, how about it?" ”

Li Dutou immediately responded: "The subordinates obey the order." Li Dutou immediately told Feiyun that the Pai Gang was a gang that had occupied the transportation of the Ru River, and there were about two or three hundred people. The headquarters of this platoon gang is on the bank of the Ru River on the outskirts of Ruzhou, and it specializes in bullying fishermen on both sides of the river. In the platoon gang, there are about six or seven people with strong martial arts. ”

After listening to this, Feiyun asked about the other situation of the Pai Gang, and then said to Taishou: "I think so, you will deal with the aftermath of Qianzhuang and Yanxing in the past two days. We will go to find out some news, and after thinking of countermeasures, we will go to the yamen to meet you, and then go to the gang. What do you think? ”

Taishou saw Feiyun agree, and was immediately overjoyed. For Feiyun's advice, Liu Taishou and Li Dutou did not dare to disobey and agreed to it.

After Feiyun finished explaining, he immediately went out of Qianzhuang with Tianxiang, Liangchen, and Meijing, and Taishou and Li Dutou came out after a while. The four of Feiyun came to Lin Feng and Deng Dan and the others and said, "Everyone, I have already told Lord Taishou in detail about the matter here. The aftermath here will be handed over to the government, and we can leave now. What do you think? ”

Lin Feng and the others naturally had no objections, but Lan'er stood up and shouted loudly: "Brother Lin, this thief can't be let go!" Everyone followed her fingers and saw that it was Du Cun, the young owner of the money village.

Lin Feng knew that it was this Du Cun's intention to get involved with Lan'er, which led to Zhang An's tragic death, and Lan'er naturally refused to let him go.

Seeing that Lan'er's face was full of grief and indignation, Lin Feng hurriedly helped her sit down and said, "Lan'er, don't be excited yet. Then he said to Feiyun: "Big brother, this Du Cun is the culprit who killed Lan'er's father, and he has harmed many women from good families. The younger brother also asked these girls just now, and they were all forcibly robbed by this thief in the past few days. There have already been a few girls who have committed suicide with hatred because they were defiled by him. Can I slay this thief in my hand and give an account for the people he killed? ”

Feiyun was a little hesitant, after all, he had already promised Taishou just now to hand over these people to the government. Although he also wanted to kill such a villain immediately, he always felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, Liu Taishou came over, and when he heard Lin Feng's words, he said to Feiyun: "Lin Shaoxia, I think that this person has done a lot of evil, and he should correct the law on the spot!" ”

After all, Liu Taishou has been an official for many years, and when he saw the situation, he knew that Feiyun was a little embarrassed. Since he knew Feiyun's identity, he naturally didn't want Feiyun to be difficult.

After hearing this, Feiyun thought that this person was very good at being a man, and he was somewhat similar to Wang Taishou in Nanyang. He nodded at Taishou in gratitude.
