Wu Zhutou immediately said fiercely:

"You want evidence, right? Someone, take him back to me and search carefully, and there will be evidence!"

As he spoke, someone bullied him, and an iron chain was put on Lin Fengjin's neck, and Lin Fengjin immediately screamed miserably, and immediately relented.

Wu Zhutou smiled contemptuously, he saw less people like this? A set of chains, as soon as the shackles were put on, what chaste and fierce women, heroes and heroes all immediately turned into soft bones! So, soon, the people of Shangqiang County all saw a scene:

That is, the evil Wu Zhutou walked proudly on the street, leading a long line of horses behind him, and a few men who were crawling and chasing behind him, crying and shouting:

"No, my lord, such a good horse has at least four or five hundred and one taels, and if you lose two copper coins, you will take away our more than 100 horses, which is to force our owner to hang himself!"

This scene soon spread everywhere, and everyone who heard it was filled with righteous indignation and scolded the dog officer.

Hearing that Lin Gongzi also encountered such a thing, the families of the five gentry who were arrested seemed to have found the backbone, and they all asked Lin Gongzi to come forward to ask the dog official to ask for an explanation, at this time, even the rest of the gentry felt that the rabbit died and the fox couldn't sit still, and felt that if they continued to do nonsense like this, it would be their turn to be the next one, and it was really bad to be treated as a pig that could be fattened and killed, so they jointly set up a wine to invite Zhixian to come out for dinner.

This so-called meal is obviously to give an explanation to the county this week.

However, Zhou Zhixian is also difficult to ride a tiger at this time, in order to defend his own official hat, then it is definitely not possible to recognize the wrong person and the like! If this kind of thing is recognized, am I wrong? That is, how many people have done the right thing for this Wang squire?

Of course, the damage to his prestige is secondary, but if the squire Wang and the others do it right, then the military exploits of defeating the East China Sea pirates will be real!

So. Others will immediately have questions, why did the local magistrate not get such a great achievement, but was obtained by a few gentry?

Most of the time, this magistrate is too incompetent.

Although this is indeed the case, it is absolutely impossible for Zhou Zhixian to admit and face this reality, on the contrary, he feels that what "that damn horse dealer" (Lin Fengjin) said is the truth, not to mention that to be honest, many things that have happened since Lin Fengjin came are indeed a bit beyond common sense.

The wolf-like East China Sea coalition army rushed straight in, and the defenders of the county town lost their armor under their attack, and even the city wall could not stop their advance, but they collapsed under the attack of more than 100 horse dealers and hundreds of peasant rabble! Corpses are everywhere!

If you don't witness this kind of thing, it really makes people feel that they are talking about it, Zhou Zhixian is not a fool, and those who can do it must be human spirits, and it is precisely because of this most critical point that he selectively ignores many things and believes Lin Fengjin's lies paranoidly.

Therefore, the gentry of Shangqiang County set this table for a banquet. It was originally his last chance, but Zhou Zhixian showed his decisive and resolute side, and gave up very simply. He directly sent a servant to say: My lord said that he was sick and that he would be done.

And as soon as this sentence is said, it means that this county parent official has completely broken with the gentry of Manxian County and stood on their opposite!

If it were in normal times, the county order that dared to do so would face two major dilemmas. First, the decree does not work, and it is completely set aside!

At this time, the government wanted to convey any administrative order, which in fact was equivalent to not being able to directly transmit it to ordinary people. Instead, it was conveyed by the gentry that the cohesion of the clan and the family at this time was amazing, which was unimaginable. Even the officials in the yamen, the small officials will not be able to work.

Because the county order is usually changed every three years, and these "officials" in the yamen will never leave, and they are the fellow villagers of the local gentry -- not only do they have to get along with each other for decades, but they also have to deal with their descendants, so once the entire gentry class has a conflict with the county order, then the officials must be on the side of the gentry.

The second dilemma, and the killer weapon of the gentlemen, is to pay taxes.

A very important point in the evaluation of officials in ancient times, that is, the amount of taxes paid every year, even if it is now GDP as the core, there are still ways to remedy problems in other aspects, but if there is a problem in this regard, it is that there is no salvation, and the magistrate who can't even collect taxes is estimated to be directly classified by his colleagues or officials in the heart of the "imbecile" and "mentally retarded" grade, and it is a shame to associate with him.

However, these are such extreme times in wartime!

To tell the truth, this week's county order really has a hand in exploiting and seizing power, and at this time, the whole county, if you talk about the armed forces on paper, he is really the most powerful in the army. There is a way that Xiucai meets soldiers, it is unclear that the Zhou County Order at this time is a "soldier", and even these gentlemen cannot be called "Xiucai", they are simply a group of fat pigs, as long as a "thief" hat is buttoned up, it is equivalent to obtaining a slaughtering qualification certificate!

In such a situation, can they not panic and endanger themselves?

And at this time, it made them almost feel that the world was spinning, and the five gentlemen who were caught were not only not released, but also labeled as "colluding with the East China Sea pirates" and "plotting against the East China Sea", and even sealed the house directly, and it was expected that the house would be raided tomorrow.

The principle of Zhou County's order has always been "either don't do it, or do it", not to mention that he is really short of money now, and it is a fact that the county seat has been breached, although it has been counterattacked back, but the treasury has been looted, and the hat of poor land defense will definitely be buttoned up, and if you want to wash off this hat, you will either go to the battle with the whole family and die, or you have to let the boss turn a blind eye.

Shangqiang County is a big county, he has been here for two years, he can be called a cool official, and there are many places where he is attacked, that is, he has a lot of experience in Fengying's boss, but Fengying's boss can't just say with his mouth, he has to use the silver to smash it, and Zhou County's order can only beat the idea of the five gentry who were detained.

He also knows the consequences of doing so. It must be the opposite of all the gentry in Shangqiang County, but this is like drinking to quench your thirst, if you don't drink it, you will die immediately, but after drinking, you can at least survive for a while, after getting enough oil and water from these five families, it is too late to repair the relationship, after all, he is an official, the other party is a people, and he has an innate advantage, and these gentry want to come up with a family that is essentially revenge. That will have to wait until the autumn grain harvest.

Although it is not too far from September and October, but, don't forget that this place has just been looted by the East China Sea pirates, and the court is likely to be exempt from taxes, and even the grain that will be allocated for relief, even if it is not tax-free, these people do not pay taxes, and they have sufficient reasons to say that the people are not living well, and they can't bear to collect taxes to make a strong order. On the contrary, it will also get a good reputation.

Therefore, no matter how you calculate it, how to offend the gentleman to death, then there is still more than a year of buffer time. Besides, as long as you coax your boss to be happy, if you really can't do it, you won't stay here. I have my own place to keep my grandfather, so please ask the relationship to be adjusted evenly, if it really doesn't work. Then Shang Qiang is a big county, and it is okay to suffer a little loss and go to a middle county, and the sea has been up and down for decades.

This is what Zhou County Ling thinks, in fact, he also has a very clear grasp of the mentality of the Shangqiang County gentry, and he has calculated that you can't do anything.

It's just that Zhou County's order missed a person.

That is Lin Fengjin.

In fact, such a subtle change in his mentality was the conversation between Lin Fengjin and Master Guo, which indirectly and subtly affected his psychological changes.

Zhou Xianling couldn't have imagined that Lin Fengjin had already quietly arranged a vicious bureau, waiting for him to jump down by himself!

It's late at night,

Lin Fengjin hadn't slept yet, he was reading a book at this time, and he had a bit of the taste of a scholar reading at night.

But the three words "Meat Futon" on the cover of the book deeply betrayed the essence of his behavior.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and he gasped and stopped outside with two people:

"Childe!"

Lin Feng said respectfully:

"Come in. ”

He Bodao:

"Sure enough, the servant who came forward to prove that Miss Zhen had committed adultery with him was dead, and it was said that he had died of colic, and we went to dig up the grave overnight, and found that the cause of this man's death seemed to be fine, and the bones on his body were very complete, but the white bones in his coffin showed a very strange shape, which looked like a fetus curled up in the mother's body. ”

Lin Fengjin frowned and said:

"How can there be such a thing??"

"This person should have been killed by a very special method, after he died, the big tendons on the corpse will be the first to dissolve and decay, so the corpse will shrink strangely, and the last bones will show such a strange appearance. In poisons, the poison can have a similar effect, but it is definitely not as obvious. ”

At this time, Lin Li suddenly appeared like a ghost, and Lin Fengjin didn't ask him to make a move along the way, and at the same time, it was also to let him live in a simple place after his disguise, that is, to prevent an accident from happening, after all, Lin Li, the former great, left some clues for the head lowering technique he performed was very obvious. After all, Lin Li at this time still needs the identity of Xu Grub, a priest, otherwise, if he wants to blend into the camp of the East China Sea Alliance, it will be a hundred times more difficult to assassinate the Huwatu brothers, but there is no problem in judging some things with his experience.

"Similar to the effect of pulling the poison?" Lin Fengjin muttered.

When Lin Li said this, Lin Fengjin suddenly remembered one thing, which was when he was chatting with Tu Zhang's wolf when he was at Tu Zhang's house.

Tu Zhang's stunt is the miasma spider, this miraculous skill can be said to be quite perverted, vicious, the only drawback is that the attack is too slow, and the weakening of the enemy's immediate combat power is too poor! However, even if this thing is a pervert like Qian Zhen, the prince of martial arts, he is definitely unwilling to take a beat.

However, according to Tu Zhang Langqing, his practice has a history, it came from the Manichaeism that was at its peak three hundred years ago, and even once founded in the vast sea of sand, and it can only rank third among the Zhenjiao divine skills.

You must know that Manichaeism is following the path of "treacherous", "strange" and "evil", and such a ferocious and vicious exercise as a miasma spider can only be ranked third?

Lin Fengjin was a little curious at that time, so he continued to ask, and Tu Zhang's wolf Qing told him that the ancestor of Tu Zhang's family was also a businessman, and he was usually used to walking on this trade road in the Green Mountains of the Western Regions. One day, I was unlucky enough to find that the sky was completely overcast, and it looked like an unprecedented sandstorm was brewing!

The ancestor of the Tu Zhang family is also a long-term businessman, and knows that when a sandstorm is about to occur, the only thing people can do is to follow the camel, if there is a glimmer of life, the camel will definitely be able to find it. So he followed the camel all the way and walked hard, until the sandstorm came, he did not give up, and finally when it was dark, he finally found a shelter from the wind, and finally found a life.

Wait until the sandstorm subsides. Only then did he realize that he had come to an unprecedented ruin, which was probably exposed to him because the yellow sand covered on it was blown away by the sandstorm. This is the temple that was built after the founding of Manichaeism.

After the ancestors of the Tu Zhang family entered the temple, they found that there were four large lotus flowers carved extremely exquisitely under the temple dedicated to the god Mani, and three of them had already shown an open state, and it seemed that there should be something placed in the lotus stamens inside.

He tried his best, and finally found the mechanism to open another lotus bone, and the secret book of the miasma spider was enshrined in it. but a page forged of brass.

Judging from the records of the murals next to it, among the four lotus flowers, the four major town religions of Manichaeism are stored, and the miasma spider ranks third. So with copper pages, the fourth is the marble carved page, and the first and second are gold and silver respectively!

Because the mural was badly eroded by the wind. So I can only see some of the above words, and I know from these fragments that the first two magic skills are without the disadvantage that the miasma spider's instant combat power to the enemy is weakened too slowly. And the miasma spider is to lead the miasma between heaven and earth into the body, giving the soul and the flesh and blood of the rotten, and the two magic skills are to lead the evil qi between the heaven and the earth, and the evil qi enters the body, one is the meridian of the rotten man, and the strongest one is the bone marrow of the rotten man!

At this time, it seems that the words "rotten meridians" can be linked to the death of this Ding.

Lin Fengjin pondered for a while, but when he saw that he was a little speechless, he said:

"What else?"

He muttered:

"There is no basis for something, the little one should not be too talkative in front of the son, but after the ancestor of the Ji family died, he burned the body immediately, is it possible that there is still zài?"

Lin Fengjin's eyes sharpened suddenly, people are not omnipotent, everyone's thinking will inevitably have a blind spot!

"Do you mean to say, 'Corpse Escape?' This burned corpse belongs to someone else, and the ancestor of the Ji family is still alive?"

Tabo hurriedly said:

"This is just the villain's conjecture, logically speaking, the ancestor of the Ji family is living well, and there is no need to play this hand at all!

Lin Fengjin nodded slightly and said:

"You're doing nothing wrong, you really should have thought everything through!Go ahead, I hope you can bring me more good news. ”

After he left, another tall figure walked in, bowed to Lin Feng and said:

"Childe, you're ready. ”

Lin Fengjin nodded, and the corners of his lips showed a sneer:

"Someone actually sued me today, what kind of bullshit Master Guo is ruthless? Hey! Such a fool is also worthy of these four words? Do it, our horses are fostered in these idiots, although they will not be treated badly, but it is better to raise them by themselves after all. ”

The tall figure raised his head, it was Chi Bixiong, and he said:

"Yes, Childe. ”

Lin Fengjin closed his eyes, and then said:

"Bring in the families of the five gentry, and those who can speak and manage affairs are preferably eldest sons, brothers, and the like. ”

Soon, the family members of these five families came, Lin Fengjin was silent and did not speak, and only after a long time did he raise his head and look at them deeply, how could these people compete with Lin Fengjin in terms of momentum, and even some of them knelt down at once. At this time, Lin Feng said:

"Do you want the head of the family to die or live?"

About an hour later, a series of frightened shouts suddenly came from the entire Shangqiang County:

"The East Sea Pirates have rioted!!"

"The East Sea Pirates are back!"

"The East Sea Pirates are back!!"

“”

These shouts immediately struck the bloody wound on the hearts of the people of Shangqiang County, and they sprinkled a handful of salt on them! They had just suffered a tragic war, and they had personally experienced or at least witnessed the destruction of their friends' homes, and it was when they were extremely frightened that their fragile hearts were terrified at this time.

It was pitch black outside. It was chaotic again, and almost all the people could only shrink in their own rooms, put the door on top with coarse Benjiashi, and then trembling and shrunk in the quilt and chanted the names of the gods and Buddhas of the heavens and Buddhas for protection.

Then I heard a series of shouts and killings outside, but fortunately, these shouts did not stay near their door for too long, but someone shouted excitedly in the accent of the East Sea Pirates:

"Fill, fill, fill!!"

"There are mountains of gold and silver treasures in the county office!"

"Hurry up, everyone, don't let the dog officer escape, he has a lot of money in his family. I just copied the property of more than a dozen big dog families, all of which were collected in the warehouse, and the silver ingots were used as boards, and the gold ingots were used as pillars.

"Kill, kill, kill, those who block our financial path, brains are split!"

“”

These voices were shouted in almost the streets and alleys of the city, and almost seventy or eighty percent of the citizens heard them. There was a bold man who wanted to stick out his head to see what was going on, but immediately a sharp arrow shot over, or pierced through the ear, and immediately made this person cry in pain and cry on the ground and fight for his life. With these examples in front of you, who else would dare to come out?

But the rumors of gold and silver in the county government are remembered by everyone.

After a while. The county government was on fire, and as long as the people in the county government came up with it, a row of bows and arrows shot silently. If the arrow cluster can't come out, it is to throw torches inside, at this time the county government is in a mess, naturally they can't take care of the few gentlemen who are imprisoned in the cell, but if someone goes in, then they will find that the cell can be said to be empty, and the few gentlemen who should have been imprisoned inside are already outside, to be specific, they are lying on the soft couch on the second floor of the inn ten zhang away outside the county office.

These five gentlemen are all very wolf-like, because Zhou County makes this person very mean, and also believes in the principle of either not doing it or doing it, so of course there will be no politeness to them, naturally they will be tortured to get a confession first, and then slowly squeeze out the oil and water.

Although these five gentlemen were all weak-willed people, and they confessed immediately after being sentenced to less than ten seconds, they also suffered a lot, the most seriously injured was smashed a finger and a toe, and the least injured was also eaten a leather whip, and was greedily sucked out by fleas.

How did these goblins not know that this dog official Zhou Peel had already made a dead hand, so at this time, while looking at the burning county government, he scolded his ancestors for eighteen generations, and the meaning of resentment can be imagined.

Lin Fengjin had already looked at them at this time and said:

"Today, the whole city knows that the captives of the East China Sea Pirates rioted, and the inside and outside should attack Shangqiang, and Zhou Zhi County is loyal to the country, shouting to kill the thief, and finally the hero died in the county government, which is really a sigh, but this Shangqiang County cannot be left unpresided over for a day, after all, the East Sea Pirates have come twice in a row, and someone has to come out to dispatch and control the overall situation. If it can turn the tide and stabilize the situation, then presumably the imperial court will not hesitate to reward it. ”

As soon as Lin Fengjin said this, the eyes of the people lit up at the same time, and they were also very confused and frightened in their hearts, it was a big crime to kill the officials this week! Although if he didn't kill him, he would kill me, but this kind of thing was still terrifying after all.

But listening to Lin Fengjin say this, it was actually bright, not only could he kill Zhou Papi, but it seemed that he could even sit in his position, which was really eye-catching, but it was both wealth and beauty, oh no, it should be a beautiful thing with both life and official position, and one by one my heart suddenly warmed up. (To be continued......)
