Sure enough, when the county order came in, he knelt on the ground and bowed: "Weichen see Your Majesty, Niangniang!" ”

This county order is the first Jinshi after Jing Yan ascended the throne, and he has participated in the Qionglin banquet, so he knows Jing Yan and Jiang Yuqing.

"Get up!"

Canghai made people surround the Feng Mansion and gather all the Feng family members together to take care of it.

Jing Yan stood up, walked up to Feng San, and said condescendingly: "I heard that your family's private salt business is doing well. ”

At the same time, he said to Wuya: "Take someone to search, maybe you can find something useful." ”

Wuya is familiar with this, and immediately led people to search the house room by room.

Soon, from the dark room of the Feng family's study, a large amount of gold and silver and more than a dozen account books were copied.

Jing Yan picked up a book at random and flipped through it, and saw that it was clearly listed, how many catties of salt came from Meisha County, Yuedong Prefecture in the south, and how much profit was made from Meisha County, Yuedong Prefecture in the south.

On the other hand, there is a record of the Feng family's bribery to officials at all levels.

For example, on a certain day in a certain year, a certain month, and a certain amount of silver sent to Lord Feng in Beijing, for favors.

On a certain day, the prefect's mother celebrated her birthday, how much silver was sent.......

Jing Yan closed the ledger and couldn't see any expression on his face. only asked Gaoping County Order: "Do you know where the second son of the Feng family is working?" ”

The Gaoping County Commander said respectfully: "Back to Your Majesty, the second son of the Feng family is serving as the county commander in Meisha County, Yuedong Prefecture. ”

Jing Yan knew it in his heart. Ordered someone to seal the account books, and after the Feng Mansion was searched, even the people brought the account books back to the county office.

At the same time, he ordered to send a message to the capital, take Feng Da, and send a letter to the south, don't let Feng Er escape.

At the same time, let the Criminal Department send a special person to investigate and handle this major case of illegal salt.

It doesn't matter who is involved in the official position. Catch what should be caught, kill what should be killed, and never tolerate it.

At this time, in the shadows outside the Feng Mansion, there were many probes around to look at the lively people.

Seeing so many soldiers besieging the Feng Mansion, it was most likely that something big had happened to the Feng Mansion.

When they saw the master and servant of the Feng family being tied up in a string by the people of the government and taken away, many people secretly applauded.

The Feng family has been a big bully over the years. I don't know how many people have suffered their losses openly and secretly.

After Feng San relied on the power of his two elder brothers to become the leader of the Cao Gang, he even coerced these poor brothers of the Cao Gang to help them sell illicit salt.

Selling illicit salt is a felony, and if you are caught, you will lose your head.

Therefore, the behavior of the Feng family attracted fierce opposition from many poor brothers who relied on coolies to eat.

Sue the official, there are people above the Feng family, and the government usually treats it as if they didn't see it.

Moreover, after Feng Laosan knew about it, he would directly lead someone to beat the accuser, which would be disabled at least and lose his life at worst.

Therefore, how many people are forced by reality to dare to be angry but dare not speak.

Now that they were finally taken away by the government and imprisoned, they all clapped their hands and made up their minds to go to the county government early the next morning to beat drums and voice their grievances.

After the raid of the Feng Mansion and the seal, it was already late at night, and everyone's stomachs were singing about the empty city plan.

The group stayed at the inn arranged by the county order, asked the back kitchen to bring some food, ate some hastily, and went to sleep.

Feng Man'er never dreamed that her willful move would bring a catastrophe to her family and even exterminate the family.

Therefore, when he was thrown into the yamen prison, the whole person was still confused.

Imprisoned with her were her grandmother, Mrs. Feng, and her father's five concubines.

If her biological mother is still there, I am afraid that she will not be able to escape this prison at this moment.

After the officials left, Mrs. Feng slapped Feng Man'er in the face fiercely and scolded: "You are a little prostitute who has a mother and no mother.

On weekdays, if you are asked to restrain yourself, you just don't listen. Well, the whole family is unlucky for you. That's the emperor and the empress, how dare you humiliate them. ”

Feng Man'er covered her beaten face and cried, not daring to say a word.

How could she know that His Majesty the Emperor would deign to enter such a broken shed. How could that place be worthy of his honorable status?

And that damn woman, how could she marry His Majesty and give birth to a prince. How nice it would be if it was her who married His Majesty.

Until this time, she was still dreaming unrealistically. I have to say that her brain circuit is really strange enough.

Because of falling into the water and being frightened again, Feng Man'er had a high fever in the middle of the night and became very sick.

Although Mrs. Feng hated her for causing a big disaster to her family, she was her granddaughter who had been hurting for many years after all, and she didn't want to watch her die.

So he slapped the cell vigorously, trying to ask the guards to find a doctor to take a look.

The officials all know that this bold Miss Feng is a cow who even His Majesty and Niangniang dare to be "wanted".

Therefore, he ignored Old Lady Feng's shouting. Drinking wine, eating peanuts, and chatting about what happened in Feng Mansion tonight.

One of the officials was annoyed by Mrs. Feng's noise, walked over with a whip, and whipped her fiercely against the cell door.

"What are you arguing about, if you quarrel any more, this whip will not hit the prison door.

You still think it's the Feng family's honorable old lady, me! ”

This really frightened Mrs. Feng, and she didn't dare to make any more trouble to ask for a doctor.

had to settle for the next best thing, asked for a bowl of water, and asked those concubines to take care of Feng Man'er.

Feng Man'er is the only child of Feng Laosan, and she bullies a few concubines on weekdays.

Now that they are in trouble, even if the old lady personally orders, several people are indifferent.

Old Mrs. Feng was angry, and opened her mouth to scold: "Sure enough, it's a little bitch from the countryside, a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised."

Now this is to see that our Feng Mansion is in trouble, so I can't call you, right? ”

Several of the concubines pursed their lips and rolled their eyes. No matter how she scolds, she just won't play it.

One of them pointed at her directly with a more pungent temperament, and it was a good sneer: "You can save some effort."

You have offended His Majesty and the Queen. Especially you, old lady, are so imposing.

openly shouted and killed His Majesty, Niangniang, and His Royal Highness the Prince. This is a big disrespect, and it is going to lose your head.

Not to mention the things that Feng Laosan did in private.

What if we don't know? Selling illicit salt is a serious crime, and it is punishable by the nine tribes.

I can't live left and right, why should we listen to you, go and serve a young lady who beats and scolds us as slaves on weekdays.

To be honest, we wish she had gone to see her sooner. ”

Old Mrs. Feng was so angry that she couldn't say a word, and her chest rose and fell violently. People can't help but worry that she will faint in the next moment.

The concubines don't care, and Old Lady Feng has no good way. I had to tear off a sleeve of my middle shirt, wet it with water, and go to put a compress on Feng Man'er's forehead.

I never thought that I accidentally knocked over the bowl, and the water suddenly flowed everywhere. Seeing this, Old Madam Feng cried again.

Without water, she can only be allowed to hold on like this. Whether you live or die is left to fate.

After tossing and turning for most of the night, she was really tired.

So he staggered to the wall and sat down, closing his eyes and going to sleep.

However, it didn't take long for something to feel crawling on her.

She subconsciously reached out and touched a fluffy thing, which let out a "squeak" scream.

Old Madam Feng suddenly jumped up in fright. After realizing that it was a mouse, he held it and plopped, and almost jumped out of his chest and cried.

Several of the concubines were woken up by her crying, looked up in her direction, closed their eyes again, and fell asleep.

The news that the Feng family committed a crime and was raided by the big men above spread all over the city overnight.

Therefore, the Cao Gang brothers, who came to the county government early the next morning to beat drums and voice grievances, crowded the county government.

The county magistrate and the master were busy recording the case for them, as well as more criminal evidence and clues about the Feng family they provided.

These include forcibly seizing people's land, coercing and coercing in gangs, and extracting high poll taxes.

Most of the Cao Gang's brothers are coolies. or carrying packaging and unloading goods at the dock day and night, or running a boat in the water, all of which are real hard-earned money.

This is a little hard-earned money, Feng Laosan has to take away 20%, otherwise he won't do it for you. It's crazy.

Everyone is cursing him behind his back, no wonder he has no son, it turns out that he has done too many things due to lack of virtue, and he deserves to be cut off.

Youwei came to report that Feng Man'er was found dead in prison this morning.

"How did you die?"

Youwei said: "He died of an emergency." According to the old woman of the Feng family, it was about to fall into the water during the day and suffer from the cold, and the fever broke out in the middle of the night, and no one cared.

As a result, I found out early this morning that people don't know when they ran out of gas. Even the fingers let the mouse bite off in half. ”

Jiang Yuqing nodded to indicate that he understood: "That's it, insignificant people, just deal with it." ”

Two days later, someone sent by the Ministry of Punishment arrived. came over to see Jing Yan and Jiang Yuqing, took over the things confiscated from the Feng Mansion, and began to work on the case.

Jiang Yuqing and Jing Yan also left Gaoping County and continued to travel south, arriving at the capital of Qizhou in less than two days.

The prefect of Qizhou has just been taken down because he accepted bribes and served as a protective umbrella for the Feng family, and after all the crimes are investigated, he will be escorted to Beijing for trial and wait for his fate.

The group did not stay in Qizhou Mansion for long and continued south. After walking for another seven or eight days, we arrived at the southernmost counties of Qizhou Prefecture.

The largest river in Bactria is the Jing River, which flows into the sea here.

To the north of the Jing River is Qizhou, and to the south of the Jing River is Wuzhou. Jiang Yuqing and the others want to go to Wuzhou, and they still need to take a ferry.

Such ferries are not available every day, and they only run every two days.

Jiang Yuqing couldn't, so they had to choose to stay in a small town near the dock and wait patiently for the arrival of the next ferry.

She suddenly regretted it a little now, if she knew that it would be better to get a big boat and put it in the spirit realm, and it would be easier to go anywhere.

She decided that if she went south this time and passed through Fuzhou, she would go to Fengzhan to get a big ship and put it in the spiritual realm.

Then engrave a driving formation that can be activated with spirit stones or spirit crystals.

In this way, when you encounter a big river or an ocean, you can cross it directly, and you don't need to go elsewhere to get a boat.

Well, the idea is perfect!

At this time, it was the end of February, and the ice and snow had melted.

Green shoots have quietly sprouted on the branches. They are like countless little green elves, secretly and carefully observing this beautiful world.

As everyone knows, this world is about to become vibrant because of their arrival.

The town is small and there really isn't much to do.

Seeing that the weather was fine and there was no wind, Doctor Qiu proposed to go fishing by the Jing River, not only to pass the time, but also to have fun.

The idea was unanimously agreed.
