Xin Yibo returned to the mountain pass.

These days, he waited for days, but to no avail, and gradually lost confidence, if it weren't for Qiu Ze's qualifications were too good, he would have left a long time ago, but at this time, hope was ignited in his heart again.

Xin Yibo took out a token from his pocket and handed it to Lao Ma: "You just wait here, don't move around, if Qiu Ze goes up the mountain to find you, you will give him the token and take him back to Nanhan Mountain, if he hasn't come after a month and a half, you can go back by yourself, I still have some things, I don't care about you, you and remember, no matter what, you can't show the prototype!"

The old horse swallowed the token in one gulp, nodded, Xin Yibo turned around, jumped up, and left quickly in the direction of Su Fu.

————

Sufu is the economic center of Jiangnan, under the jurisdiction of Changzhou County, Wu County, Taicang Prefecture and other counties, but also the transportation hub from the south to the north, so the position of the prefect of Sufu is extremely important, and it is a position that all factions and civil officials want to compete for.

But Tang Congwen, the current prefect of Sufu, is very distressed.

————

It was night, the drunken fairy building was brightly lit, and the sheng songs continued.

The Drunken Immortal Building is the most luxurious green building in the Su Mansion, if it is not for the dignitaries, it is impossible to enter the Drunken Immortal Building for half a step.

In a box on the top floor of the Drunken Immortal Building, Tang Congwen hugged two young girls, smiling very happily, the table in front of him was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas, and there were several musicians playing music for him.

The door of the box was slowly pushed open by a person, who was wearing an official uniform, holding a few dossiers, and walked quickly in front of Tang Congwen.

"Your Excellency, these are the financial documents of various states and counties last month. ”

After saying that, the man clapped his hands, and two more men came in through the door, and the two men carried a huge basket, placed it on the ground, and exited the box.

"Your Excellency, these are small gifts from the following prefectural decrees. ”

After speaking, he lifted the lid of the basket, and it was full of silver ingots with white flowers.

This move frightened the musicians and the two Qinglou women, Tang Congwen laughed: "Those magistrates are on the road." As he spoke, Tang Congwen gently pinched the waist of the woman next to him: "Do you want it?"

The woman said cautiously: "Lord Xie, Governor." ”

"Wang Dian, you cut off one-fifth of the silver tax in these official documents, and then write a new official document, so that everyone can send it to Nanzhili as soon as possible. ”

Wang Dianguan pondered for a moment, and arched his hand: "Lord Prefect, the silver tax of each state and county, intercepting one-fifth is not easy to be noticed, but it is only the ...... of Wu County."

At the mention of Wu County, Tang Congwen snorted: "What's wrong with Wu County?"

Wang Dianzhi said quickly: "The taxes paid by Wu County are only five or six tenths of those of the rest of the states and counties, and the Qiu County Order did not give you a gift this time, if you intercept another fifth, I am afraid that those adults in Nanzhili will be displeased." ”

"How can this be reasonable!" Tang Congwen overturned the wine and food on the table, Wang Dianguan gave the musicians a look, and the musicians hurriedly kowtowed and exited the box.

"This Qiu Qitian, he deceives people too much! Dare to bully the king, too arrogant!"

Wang Dianguan sighed: "Since the arrival of the Qiu County Commander two years ago, the drenching and kicking have been cancelled, and a part of the silver taels collected has been distributed to various villages......

Tang Congwen was furious and said: "Is Qiu Qitian crazy? Qianli is an official only for money, he is good, not only does he not collect money, but also distributes Lao Tzu's money to those mud legs! Lao Tzu has endured him for two years, and this year is the last term, I will go to see the saint next month and join him fiercely! Let him get out!"

The official pondered for a moment and said: "The prefect is angry, not only are you dissatisfied with him, it is said that those adults in Nanzhili do not treat him very well, rather than waiting until the expiration of the term, it is better to ...... now"

Tang Congwen smiled bitterly, shook his head and said: "If I can drive him away, why should I wait until now? This person drove away my brother-in-law, and he still doesn't eat soft and hard, he is neither corrupt nor a woman, he is really a turtle with a shrunken head, and if he wants to bite him, he has no way to bite him!"

"You go out first, I have some important matters to discuss with the prefect. Wang Dianwen said in a deep voice, the two women bowed and left, closed the door, Wang Dianguan walked to Tang Congwen's side, and said in a low voice: "My lord, he is not without flaws, I used to be a cell leader under Li Countyling, and I ...... half a month ago."

————

In the courtyard of the prefect's mansion, Tang Congwen looked at the nine thieves kneeling in front of him and sneered.

"According to you, you are the former official of Wu County, who was kicked out by Qiu Qitian, and Zhang Bawu was beaten by him for stealing two chickens?"

Zhang Bawu knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "I hope that the prefect will avenge the grass people!"

"Qiu Qitian is an official who is not benevolent, and this official will naturally avenge a few of you, but ......" Tang Congwen smiled sinisterly: "Just because he enforces the law excessively and beats you a few more boards, I'm afraid he won't be able to get rid of him, Wang Dian, what can you do?"

Wang Dianwen looked at Tang Congwen, understood seven or eight points in his heart, and arched his hand: "My lord, I know what to do." ”

Tang Congwen laughed, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

"Clerk Wang, leave this matter to you, hand over the official documents to me tomorrow, and tonight's affairs ....."

Looking at Tang Congwen's back in the distance, Wang Dianguan said loudly: "My lord, go slowly, tonight's incident was done by the lower officials, and it has nothing to do with the prefect!"

When Tang Congwen walked out of the courtyard, Wang Dianguan shouted: "Someone!"

Dozens of people dressed in black and carrying big knives walked in and surrounded Zhang Bawu and the others who were kneeling in the hall.

Wang Dianzhi patted a scholar-like person next to him and said, "I said, you write!"

"Wu County ordered Qiu Qitian to deceive the monarch, embezzle taxes, collude with the Japanese, and occupy the place where the king is angry to build a private house, the crime is unforgivable! Half a month ago, because his deeds were exposed, in anger, he actually killed nine people, including Wang Fusheng, the former official of Wu County! The evidence of this matter is conclusive, and the minister, the king of the Sufu household, Nanquan, is dying!"

When Zhang Bawu and the others, who were kneeling, heard this, they were as frightened as chaff, how could they not know the meaning of the words of the Wang Dian? Looking at the people with big knives in their hands beside them, they wanted to get up and fight, and then they remembered that when they came in, the saber was taken away by the guards at the door.

Wang Dian's eyes turned cold: "Kill me!"

Dozens of knives slashed at the kneeling few people, and soon they died on the spot, bleeding all over the ground!

"The prefect has an order, fearing that the autumn will lead the sky and escape, so he ordered Wang Nanquan, the warden of the household, to lead 200 troops and set off to Wu County overnight to arrest people!

After the king said, he took out a banner and handed it to his subordinates: "You go to the outside of the city quickly to get two hundred cavalry!"
