"Your Majesty, something serious has happened."
An attendant hurriedly entered, looking panicked and said: "People from various major families, under the guidance of Li Qian, made noises one after another, saying that the county magistrate built ditches, mobilized people's strength, wasted people and money, and missed the best opportunity to alleviate the drought. These wealthy families The commotion started and the situation was almost out of control.”
Wang Yue stood up and said, "Brother, let's go, let's give Li Qian an explanation."
Lin Feng nodded.
The two of them went outside together, and not long after, they arrived at the gate of the county government office.
As soon as Wang Yue came out, the crowd became even more excited.
"Wang County Magistrate, our Yongning County has been experiencing a drought so far. We have not seen any actions such as drilling wells or storing water. Instead, we have been building ditches. This is of no use in dredging and digging ditches."
"Magistrate Wang, you have been deceived and deceived. Everything is Lin Feng's conspiracy. Lin Feng did this just to plot against Magistrate Wang."
"Magistrate Wang must have been deceived. Everything in our Yongning County is caused by Lin Feng."
"Kill Lin Feng and clear out our Yongning County."
"Lin Feng, get out and die."
"Lin Feng came out and died."
Members of the big family gathered by Li Qian shouted one after another. Everyone looked furious and wanted to kill Lin Feng immediately. They did not accuse Wang Yue, but said that Lin Feng bewitched Wang Yue.
Li Qian saw this scene in his eyes and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
This was his plan, not against Wang Yue, but against Lin Feng. Because by doing this, we can capture Lin Feng first. After taking down Lin Feng, the next step can be to deal with Wang Yue.
Without Lin Feng's advice, Wang Yue was just a piece of meat on the chopping board, left to his own devices.
When Wang Yue heard the noise from Li Qian and others, his eyes were sharp and he yelled: "Quiet!"
When the sound came out, the people around him were still making noises. The people of the big family did not stop at all, and they all continued to shout. Under such premise, Wang Yue not only failed to suppress all the noisy people, but actually made the situation even more chaotic.
Wang Yue's face darkened.
Lin Feng sighed inwardly when he saw Wang Yue's expression. Wang Yue has a very good temperament, but unfortunately he is a bit soft-tempered and lacks the courage to kill and make decisive decisions when encountering problems.
For example, now, simply scolding will not have any effect, but will make the situation more chaotic.
Lin Feng stepped forward and shouted: "Where are the left and right government officials?"
"exist!"
A group of government officials stood up immediately.
These people were all from the county government and had been maintaining order at the gate.
Lin Feng said in a deep voice: "Whoever dares to speak out again will be beaten to death. They are making wanton noises in front of the County Lord. Could it be that the County Lord and Da Qin are no longer in the eyes of everyone, are they going to rebel?"
Wow! ! !
There was a commotion all around.
Everyone from the big family looked over and were a little unconvinced. Just seeing Lin Feng's sharp eyes and the Yamen servant with his fangs exposed, some people began to give in.
When Li Qian saw this scene, he knew he couldn't give in now. Otherwise, morale will be exhausted and it will be difficult to make noise. He looked at his followers behind him and said, "Li Yong, go and make noise."
"yes!"
Li Yong replied.
Li Yong was a strong man. He stood up and walked to the front and said: "Lin Feng, the county magistrate is here, but you are arrogating orders and there are no rules. You even bewitched the county magistrate and caused harm to Yongning County. You are me. The biggest evil person in Yongning County. You are the cause of the drought in Yongning County so far."
As soon as Lin Feng saw the person calling, a stern look flashed across his eyes, and he took a step forward.
A fifth-grade martial artist's attack is as fast as wind and thunder.
In an instant, Lin Feng arrived in front of Li Yong and punched him.
Li Yong was also a warrior. He raised his hands to resist.
boom!
His fist hit Li Yong's arm.
The surging force pushed his arms away, moved forward arrogantly, and landed on Li Yong's chest. A powerful force surged out from his fist and struck Li Yong's heart.
In an instant, his heart broke and stopped, and Li Yong's face turned red.
puff!
Li Yong spat out a mouthful of blood.
There was a look of panic in his eyes, and he opened his mouth, but no words came out, and his body collapsed to the ground.
People have lost their breath.
Lin Feng killed Li Yong face to face, looked around and shouted: "Who else is seeking death?"
Everyone around him was silent.
The members of the big family gathered by the Li family looked at Lin Feng and couldn't help but take a step back, with frightened expressions on their faces. No one expected that Lin Feng would go on a rampage and kill people.
Li Qian's cheeks also twitched.
died!
Li Yong was killed directly.
Li Qian glanced around and sighed inwardly when he saw the shocked members of the big family. He wants to stir up momentum and even lead to conflict, but it seems impossible.
Lin Feng glanced at Li Qian and sneered in his heart.
Li Qian is just a grasshopper after autumn.
Let the dried plums jump for a while, and when the water is diverted to irrigate the ditch, it will be time to clean up the dried plums.
Lin Feng glanced around and continued: "Everyone is not allowed to speak now. Everything depends on the county. If you want to make noises, saying that Yongning County does not solve the drought, the county will solve it one by one. But now, let's settle the matter first. The wages of the people in each village.”
Having said this, Lin Feng looked at Wang Yue and said, "Brother, let's settle the matter first."
Wang Yue nodded and said, "Come here, bring out the money."
With an order, the attendants who had been prepared came out carrying large boxes. The money is mainly copper coins and some silver to facilitate settlement.
Wang Yue took out the work account book and settled the accounts one by one. This process is not long, and all settlements are completed in less than half an hour.
After Wang Yue finished the settlement, he said loudly: "The money has been settled, and the next step is to irrigate the land in Yongning County. All the people from the big families are making noises, saying that this official is wasting the people and wasting money. This matter, at the moment Let’s talk about it carefully.”
"Master Fujun has arrived."
At this moment, there was a shout.
Fujun is a respectful title for the prefect.
When Wang Yue heard this, he was a little shocked. When the prince of the mansion came, it was Cao Xizhi, the governor of Fufeng County.
Why is Cao Xizhi here?
Wang Yue was a little shocked, but he and Lin Feng walked down the steps of the county government office to greet him. Not long after, a middle-aged man in his forties, with a slender figure, a thin face, a white face and a short beard, and an elegant appearance arrived.
This person is Cao Xizhi.
Wang Yue took the initiative to step forward, bowed and said: "Wang Yue, Magistrate of Yongning County, pays homage to the Lord."
Cao Xi said: "The magistrate Wang does not need to be too polite."
"Li Qian of the Li family in Xianyang, please pay homage to your husband."
Li Qian also came out with his head held high and took the initiative to salute Cao Xizhi. There was a thick smile on Li Qian's face. Because for him, Cao Xizhi's sudden arrival was simply a God-given opportunity.
He was worried that the noise was not big, but Cao Xizhi happened to come. The matter involving the irrigation of Yongning County would inevitably cause a big incident, forcing Cao Xizhi to deal with Wang Yue, and even capture Lin Feng.
Cao Xizhi narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Are you Li Qian?"
"That's it."
Li Qian nodded and answered.
But there was a strange look on Li Qian's face, because Cao Xizhi's attitude seemed a little unkind.
