Five black figures quickly entered Jiang Zihou's mansion.

Zhang Ming, who was standing on a tree, said secretly: "My guess is not wrong, they really plan to kill Jiang Zihou." ”

Then, Jiang Zihou's angry voice came: "You five, don't cover your face, thinking that if you put on a night suit, Lao Tzu won't recognize you? Yang Shaoyu and those old guys asked you to kill Lao Tzu! Today Lao Tzu is going to die, and he will pull you on his back!"

Qing'an County is so big, there are only more than ten first-class martial artists in total, and everyone is very familiar with each other. Although these five people were wearing night clothes and masks, their figures and martial arts were still recognized by Jiang Zihou at a glance.

"Kill!"

The five of them didn't talk nonsense, and directly used their strongest martial arts moves to kill Jiang Zihou.

Jiang Zihou's martial arts are not weak, and he is also considered a medium level among first-class martial artists, coupled with a set of domineering iron sand palms, there are few opponents in Qing'an County, but unfortunately, there are five masters who came to kill him. Even if Jiang Zihou has great ability, it will not help, so he exchanged his life for his life, and used the same fate.

Zhang Ming said secretly: "Jiang Zihou is about to die." It's my turn. ”

Jiang Zihou's murder of Shangguan is a heinous crime, but even if he wants to die, he will die under the laws of the Great Qian Dynasty, and others are not qualified to kill him. Besides, at this time, if Jiang Zihou, the county lieutenant, dies, the entire county government is afraid that it will be chaotic for a while.

For the sake of the overall situation, Zhang Ming had to come to the rescue.

Jiang Zihou planned to die with the enemy, but he was unable to do it, and he was already desperate, but at this time, a scolding voice came!

"Stop!"

Zhang Ming suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Zihou and blocked the weapons of the five for him.

Boom!

The weapons of the five people collided with Zhang Ming's green steel sword, and they were immediately shaken away. The five of them only felt that their bodies were numb, and the internal strength of their bodies could not be used, their qi and blood were shocked, and their breathing was not smooth.

The strength of their bodies was dispersed by Zhang Ming.

Fortunately, Zhang Ming didn't use the sword attack, otherwise, the five of them would definitely be cut in half by the sharp sword.

"Lord Prefectural?"

Jiang Zihou was bound to die, but he was saved by Zhang Ming's sudden appearance, and he was slightly relieved in his heart.

"Jiang Zihou, thank you for saving your life!" Jiang Zihou knelt on the ground and said loudly.

Before, Jiang Zihou only saw Zhang Ming dictatorial, arrogant and domineering, and every decree was directed at their gentry, but now that Zhang Ming saved his life, he knew how good Zhang Ming was.

Zhang Ming was harsh on the gentry, but he was very good to the people, and he was dedicated to the benefit of the people. What is even more rare is that we can act in strict accordance with the laws of the great cadres and be fair and just.

It may not be bad to have such a Shangguan.

Zhang Ming said lightly: "Lord Jiang, let's get up first, what is the chaos in your house now? What's the use of kneeling? Get up and do things!"

"Yes, sir. After Jiang Zihou kowtowed, he stood up.

Zhang Ming said to the five first-class warriors in night clothes: "Who are you? You dare to kill the imperial court official, what a big boldness, aren't you afraid of losing your head? Tell your identity, as well as the mastermind behind the scenes, and this official can give you leniency as appropriate." ”

The five of them looked at each other.

Escape!

They think that if they flee in different directions, they can escape at least one or two.

Zhang Ming's martial arts and swordsmanship have already shocked Qing'an County, and he is the number one master in the county, and in the face of Zhang Ming, they can only escape.

Zhang Ming broke out in a cold sweat: "I don't repent! In front of this official, you still want to escape, do you think you can escape?"

Boom!

The long sword drew a sword ray.

Zhang Ming didn't go on a killing spree, but only cut their hamstrings, making them lose the ability to escape.

The five of them can be regarded as good men, extremely tough, and did not let out a cry of pain.

Jiang Zihou lifted their masks and said angrily: "Sure enough, it's you!"

Zhang Ming asked, "Who are they?"

Jiang Zihou said: "Lord Huiyu, they are Yang Shaoyu's cousin and the masters of the three major families in the county. ”

"My lord, my lord, what's wrong?" Yu Cheng, the head catcher, rushed into Jiang Zihou's mansion with more than a dozen catchers.

When Yu Cheng saw the five people who fell to the ground, he said angrily: "It turned out to be you, so bold, my lord, my subordinates will clean them up!"

Zhang Ming waved his hand and asked Yu Cheng to step aside with the catcher: "Okay, Yu catcher." You take people with you, and you just watch from the sidelines. If I really waited for you to come, something big would have happened a long time ago. ”

If Zhang Ming hadn't made a move, Yu Cheng would have brought someone here, but it would have been just to collect Jiang Zihou's body.

Yu Cheng had a trace of grievance in his heart, but after he got the news, he rushed over as quickly as possible.

"Hey, it's still too low in martial arts. Yu Cheng said secretly in his heart, "I still have to practice hard." ”

Zhang Ming sat on a chair, holding a green steel sword in his hand, and said to Jiang Zihou: "Lord Jiang, at this time, don't you have anything to say to this official?"

Jiang Zihou fell to his knees again and said loudly: "My lord, Jiang Zihou deserves to die, and the broken crossbow in my hand is my own." But the idea of killing the adults is not from the lower officials, and please take my life for the sake of me not being the mastermind. ”

Jiang Zihou didn't care about anything else now, he just wanted to live, and completely told how Yang Shaoyu and the people of the three major families planned and how they borrowed the crossbow from themselves.

Yu Cheng and the other catchers were dumbfounded.

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant, together with the people of the three major families in the county, actually wanted to kill the county commander!

It's incredible that something like this is happening.

Zhang Ming's face was flat from beginning to end, and his eyes did not change in the slightest, as if Zhizhu was holding it.

After listening to Jiang Zihou's narration, Zhang Mingcai nodded and said: "So that's the case, it's not far from the official's speculation." ”

Although Zhang Ming didn't know how they conspired, he could also speculate that the details were inseparable, and he didn't know the details.

Zhang Ming said to Yu Zhutou: "Yu Zhutou, you take someone to invite the county lord and the people of the three major families." It was said that five of them were detained by the official in Jiang Zihou's mansion and asked them to come and collect people. If they don't come, don't blame the officials for being ruthless and execute them all according to the law of the Great Cadres!"

Zhang Ming didn't believe it, with his own martial arts, he couldn't clean them up? Zhang Ming felt that it was too inferior to use force to solve the problem, but it didn't mean that Zhang Ming would not use force, and once he used force, it would be very terrible.

To use force is to inflict a devastating blow on the other side.

Yu Cheng hugged his fists and said, "Yes, my lord." ”

.....................

Yang Shaoyu and the three old men were still waiting for news in the study.

Yang Shaoyu felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart, before he saw Jiang Zihou's corpse, any change could happen, even if they arranged for five first-class masters to assassinate him, it was already foolproof.

"Jiang Zihou, that idiot, was in Feihu Village at the time, he could completely admit that the broken crossbow was him, and then find an excuse to say that it was stolen or lost, even if Zhang Ming didn't believe it, what could he do?" Yang Shaoyu said helplessly, "But Jiang Zihou was too afraid of Zhang Ming, and subconsciously denied it directly." ”

Denying the broken crossbow and wanting to get the words back again, it's not so easy, and then it's stolen or lost, isn't it inconsistent?

The hook-nosed old man said: "Zhang Ming's strategy and martial arts are too much beyond us, and the old man is also a person who has lived a lot of years, and he has never seen a young man as powerful as Zhang Ming." You can't blame Jiang Zihou, in the face of Zhang Ming's county order, who of us is not afraid?"

At this time, a subordinate came to report to Yang Shaoyu: "Master, Yu Zhutou is here and is waiting in the living room." Yu Zhutou said that the adult's cousin and the people of the three major families were detained by the county magistrate in Lord Jiang's mansion, and asked the lord and the three major families to collect the people in person. Otherwise, the county magistrate will not be polite. ”

Yang Shaoyu and the three old men were all shocked, the five first-class masters sent were actually caught by Zhang Ming?

This...... How good is that?

After coming back to his senses, Yang Shaoyu said: "It's over, we're all done." Zhang Ming is afraid that he is going to kill this time. ”

The hook-nosed old man was silent for a while, and said: "The old man thinks that Zhang Ming will not go on a killing spree, otherwise, he will not let Yu Cheng come to pass the word, but will directly take us to the dungeon and raid our home." If the old man is not bad, Zhang Ming wants to make a deal with us. ”

"Make a deal?"

The other two old men were surprised and asked, "What kind of deal?"

The hook-nosed old man sneered: "Zhang Ming wants to do things for those untouchables, but in the entire Qing'an County, eighty percent of the land resources are occupied by our gentry family, and the other two percent are those untouchables. Anyway, everyone should be ready to bleed this time, otherwise, Zhang Ming will definitely not give up. ”

They were helpless in their hearts, but who let them have the handle in Zhang Ming's hands.

How long has it been since Zhang Ming sat on the county order? Less than 10 days later, they actually felt the general trend that Zhang Ming carried, and they were upright. As long as Zhang Ming does not die, any conspiracy and trickery will be crushed by this dignified momentum.

Yang Shaoyu said: "Let's go, let's go meet Zhang Ming and see what he wants?"

People are swordsmen, I am fish and meat, such a sense of helplessness is really uncomfortable.

..................

Yang Shaoyu and the three old men followed Yu Cheng to Jiang Zihou's mansion, and when Jiang Zihou saw them, he looked angry and had resentment in his eyes. Yang Shaoyu and these three old things actually wanted to kill themselves, it was really hateful.

Zhang Ming sat on the chair, looked at the four of them, and said with a faint smile: "Lord Yang, there are three seniors, the speed at which you came is really fast." It seems that you haven't rested, and you're still waiting for the news of Lord Jiang's killing, right?"

The hook-nosed old man said, "Lord Prefectural, what do you want to do with us, just say it." ”

Yang Shaoyu also said: "My lord, since you have no intention of killing us, if you have any requirements, just say directly, as long as we can do it, we will definitely agree." ”

Zhang Ming nodded and smiled: "Everyone is a smart person, and dealing with smart people is easy." It is true that this official has no intention of killing you all, although you are all guilty of the most heinous crimes, and you deserve death. If you die, the entire Qing'an County will collapse, even if this official has three heads and six arms, it will not help. Therefore the ruler will keep you for the time being. ”

"But if you want to murder this official, I can't go unanswered. How you plotted to murder your own officials, write them all down truthfully, then sign and draw them, and then each family takes out 100,000 taels of silver and hands it over to the yamen treasury, and the land in your family is handed over to the imperial court, and finally, all of you must meticulously implement the decree issued by this official. If anyone dares to disobey the yang and the yin again, one thing in front of the person and one thing behind the back, at that time, the official will not speak with his mouth, but directly communicate with you with his sword. ”

Jiang Zihou took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Yang Shaoyu and the three old men had no choice but to write down the murder of Zhang Ming truthfully.

After signing and drawing, Zhang Ming took over the content written by the three of them, and almost all of them matched.

Zhang Ming glanced at Yang Shaoyu and the three old men, and said coldly: "Take your people, get out!"

Jiang Zihou said loudly: "Didn't you hear what the county magistrate said? ”

Zhang Ming said to Jiang Zihou: "Master Jiang, you are not a good person, all four of them have written confessions, but you haven't written them yet." If you are frightened today, the official will let you go for the time being, hoping that you will hand over your confession and 100,000 taels of silver to the yamen tomorrow. ”

"Yu Zhutou, let's go!"

Zhang Ming stood up and left Jiang Zihou's mansion with Yu Cheng and Yu Kuai.
