Speaking of this, Qin Feng glanced at the five beautiful women kneeling next to him and felt jealous in his heart.
Damn it!
The little magistrate Zhizhi actually has four wives, and I am still single!
Qin Feng felt envious and resentful, and said angrily: "Third! A small county magistrate has no merit and no title. According to the "Daliang Law", only those who are talented in the imperial examination can take a concubine. Look at you! I don’t think he has the reputation of being a scholar. He dares to keep four concubines privately. It’s really hateful! According to the "Daliang Code", he will be punished for trespassing!"
"The county town is in decline, and it is judged as poor governance. Qingshizi Village was massacred by Beidi, but nothing was known..."
As he spoke, even Qin Feng himself was surprised.
Any one of these crimes committed by the little Sesame Officer is enough to be beheaded. Even the ministers in Kyoto who had committed crimes were not as indifferent as this county magistrate!
By the time Qin Feng finished reading Chen Li's charges in one breath, Chen Li was already lying on the ground, motionless, and he obviously knew that he had no chance of survival.
The county magistrate put down the pen tremblingly, raised the accusation above his head with both hands, and said nervously: "Please take a look at it, sir."
Qin Feng took the charge and did not look at it in a hurry. Instead, he looked at the county magistrate with a smile: "How much money did you make in Beixi County?"
The county magistrate's body trembled and he almost fell off the stool. He defended in a panic: "Please be clear to me, sir. I have always been honest and honest, and I will never dare to plunder people's wealth and wealth."
Poor mountains and rivers bring out unruly people!
The small county magistrate is also so dishonest, and the strange Daliang border has always been in danger.
Since Chen Li's official position was bought, then the county magistrate and even the entire county government team must be a group of 'ruffians'. This kind of example is more common in remote areas. Some wealthy gangsters or profiteers will selectively invest in some people. After buying official positions, they can take the opportunity to plunder people's wealth.
There are powerful enemies in Beidi outside, traitorous officials are in power inside, and the people on the border are uneasy. If Emperor Liang hadn't been enlightened, the border would have been in chaos!
Before Qin Feng could force the county magistrate to submit, the civilians gathered outside the gate started shouting loudly.
"Master Qin! Every one of the people in this county government office is filthy! Especially the county magistrate. Apart from Chen Li, he is the most evil person in Beixi County. As long as he is promoted to court, he will eat the plaintiff. Eat the defendant, eat the owner, eat the west. Even some wealthy families have been ruined by this mess, let alone common people like us?"
"Please Mr. Qin seek justice!"
"Qin Fengye, the son of the Minister of War, has returned to Beixi County. The hard days of the common people like us are finally coming to an end."
Qin Feng was not surprised by the grievances of the common people.
Immediately ask all the people watching to list the crimes of everyone in the county government one by one.
Bu Lie didn't know, Yi Lie was shocked.
Not to mention the county magistrate and county magistrate, even the lowest-level government officials have committed the evil act of "bullying men and dominating women".
All the people in the county government were directly pushed out and killed. There was absolutely no unjust, false or wrongful conviction.
Qin Feng rolled up the dense charges and asked the guards to hand them over to the messenger at the post station, and quickly delivered them to the Kyoto officials.
Then he stood up and stretched, and made a "please" gesture in an amiable manner: "Please Mr. Chen, the county magistrate, the county lieutenant, etc.... Forget it, invite everyone in the county government into the cell, and Haosheng will make arrangements. Wait for the official order to be issued before deciding on the disposition."
Chen Li and others were kicked and thrown into prison by the guards.
I thought this matter was over.
As a result, just when Qin Feng was about to get up and leave, he heard a cry of injustice coming from outside the door.
"Master Qin, the women of the country have been wronged! Please seek justice, Master Qin."
"A man from a married woman's family reclaimed wasteland for farming, but was charged a reclamation tax by the county government, which was three taels of silver per acre. If he couldn't pay it back, he was imprisoned for two years."
What the hell? Reclamation tax?
Qin Feng is known as a little expert in Daliang law. He racked his brains and couldn't remember that there was a "reclamation tax" in the Daliang laws.
Co-authored by Chen Li and others, they also compiled tax regulations without authorization?
This courage simply refreshed Qin Feng's knowledge.
Qin Feng immediately called the woman in, asked a few questions, and determined that it was an unjust case. He asked the guards to go to the prison, take out the man, and let her go on the spot.
Special matters need to be dealt with. At this time, there is nothing to worry about. The commoner is still an official.
Seeing the woman leaving with the man who had seen the light of day again, she was happy to leave.
The scene was even more ebullient, and countless civilians with grievances shouted at Qin Feng.
"Sir! My family's land was invaded by bullies. I sued the government, but they had to charge prosecution fees. If I couldn't get it out, I was locked up."
"Young Master, there is also my family! The county captain who was stabbed a thousand times saw my daughter's beauty and took her back to the house to be a maid!"
Qin Feng has always been afraid of trouble, but seeing the people's resentment boiling and not being able to throw away the blame, he had to be patient and deal with them one by one...
As a result, as soon as this hole was opened, the name of 'Qin Qingtian' spread out. Countless people came after hearing the news, and the entire county government office was surrounded by three levels inside and three outside.
The people waiting in line to redress their grievances were sent out more than a hundred feet from the yamen gate.
Although they suffered, the people's expressions were unprecedentedly joyful. They changed from their usual silence and started to make loud noises.
"Beixi County has finally ushered in a good day! Mr. Qin is back, and everyone's accumulated grievances can finally be aired."
"Hahaha, I have heard about Mr. Qin's deeds in Kyoto. It is said that he is extremely loved by the people of Kyoto. It seems that this statement is true!"
"Tell me... was Mr. Qin sent to Beixi County to take over as the county magistrate?"
"What? If Mr. Qin really takes up the post of Beixi County Magistrate, our good days will come!"
"Master Qin... No, Master Qin! Make the decision for the common people."
Qin Feng originally planned to reminisce about the past with his mother and third sister, whom he reunited with after a long separation.
As a result, he was trapped in the lobby due to the mountain of unjust cases in Beixi County. He was helpless and wanted to die.
Beixi County is full of decay and dilapidation, but the inn has not cut corners at all.
Six heralds, young and strong.
Eighteen military horses, full of energy.
After all, it was during the war between Daliang and Beidi. If the order was blocked, the border army or the government would come to investigate within a few days. No matter how greedy Chen Li was, he would never commit such confusion.
Knowing that Qin Feng wanted to deliver a message, the post office did not dare to hesitate at all and sent a messenger straight to Kyoto.
Since the herald had been specially trained and was familiar with the terrain, knew how to take shortcuts, and was familiar with the distribution points of major post stations, Qin Feng had to run for four days and four nights. The herald only took three days, but he changed horses more frequently. He changed his mount eighteen times, which meant that he had to change his mount six times a day and night on average.
When the herald sent Chen Li's thick stack of accusations to the Ministry of Personnel, the officials were shocked.
The Minister of Civil Affairs held up the accusations and couldn't believe his eyes.
How could a mere ninth-grade Sesame Official commit such a serious crime? Just pick one out and it's enough to scratch him alive.
The process of dealing with such a petty official is extremely convenient, and there is no need to report it to a saint.
First, he was dismissed from his official position, and then he consulted with the officials of the Ministry of Punishment. Each crime corresponded to each law. After the review and approval, it was equivalent to pronouncing Chen Li's death sentence. He didn't even need to be escorted to Beijing for punishment. He could just be sent to the nearest government office to be executed on his behalf. .
Finally, put a cross on Beixi County official position.
In this way, the official position in Beixi County will be considered 'vacant', and you can just wait until the end of each month to report it to the saint.
As for the appointment of county magistrates, there is no need to trouble the saints for such a trivial matter. The state government can make the decision on its own. If there is still a vacancy within three months, the Ministry of Personnel will appoint it on its behalf.
In just one day, the results were available.
Just when the officials were about to send the letter back to Beixi County, a servant of the high government suddenly sent a secret letter.
When the Minister of Civil Affairs saw the contents of the secret letter, he couldn't help but frown: "Appoint Qin Feng to serve as the magistrate of Beixi County on the spot?!"
Sitting next to him, Mr. Xunsi, the Chief of Staff of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, felt as if he was electrocuted when he heard this. He quickly stood up and said with surprise: "Is this what Lieutenant Gao really meant? Although we have different political views from Qin Tianhu, no matter what, Qin Tianhu He is also the dignified Minister of the Ministry of War."
"Beixi County is a poor and bad land. To allow the son of the Minister of War to serve as the magistrate of Beixi County is neither in line with the rules nor the law of Daliang."
The Minister of Civil Affairs sighed, with extremely complicated eyes: "Even if an official in the capital makes a mistake, he will rarely be demoted to a place like Beixi County. When Mrs. Qin was demoted back to Beixi County, it was because she offended the imperial concubine. Madam, if we are good at making decisions, I am afraid that we will end up with Qin Mansion's Liang Zi."
Doctor Si Xunsi pondered for a moment, thinking hard about countermeasures, but finally sighed helplessly: "On one side is the Qin Mansion, and on the other is Captain Gao. Neither of us can afford to offend anyone, so we can only... choose the best of the two evils. light."
Hearing this, the Minister of Civil Affairs gritted his teeth and directly issued a letter of appointment.
The messenger got Chen Li's verdict and Qin Feng's letter of appointment, left the official department, went to the Qin Mansion, and presented Qin Feng's family letter to Qin Tianhu.
Ever since Qin Feng left Beijing, Qin Tianhu has been frowning. No one knows what the outcome will be after this incident is gone. When he saw the contents of the letter, Qin Tianhu's face suddenly changed. He slammed the table and shouted excitedly: "Great! As expected of me, Qin Tianhu's son!"
Not long after, Liu Hongyan and her three daughters came after hearing the news.
Knowing that Qin Feng had successfully rescued their mother, the three girls couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Liu Hongyan, who had been worried for several days, suddenly felt relieved. Her little face was filled with a layer of excited red clouds, and she asked impatiently: "Mother and third sister, are you safe? Great! I dare to ask my father, how is Feng'er?" Did you do it?”
Liu Hongyan has always been pessimistic about rescuing her mother.
Although she doesn't understand military affairs, she also understands the principle of "soldiers are more valuable and speed is faster". No matter how quick Emperor Liang's reaction was, he discovered Beidi's conspiracy in time and dispatched an emergency report immediately, but after all, he was thousands of miles apart, and when he arrived, In Beixi County, day lilies are cold.
Qin Feng arrived in Beixi County a few days apart and successfully rescued his mother and third sister. For Liu Hongyan, it was nothing short of a miracle.
Qin Tianhu was also extremely surprised and proud. In addition, this matter was a 'private matter' of the Qin family and did not involve military secrets, so he said it in front of everyone: "Feng'er certainly contributed a lot, but this matter, In the final analysis, my Qin family has the right time, right place and right people."
"The Beidi Rangers made a surprise attack on Qingshizi Village. Thanks to Xiaolan's delay for enough time, and the quick response of the border guard, before receiving the urgent report from the saint, they had already noticed Beidi's conspiracy, so they sent the border troops to block the exit. The important road is to force the Beidi Rangers to make a desperate move."
"Coupled with the support of the people, Feng'er rushed to Beixi County and got valuable information immediately, so he annihilated the Beidi Rangers in one fell swoop and captured alive the deputy lieutenant of the Rangers who led the troops."
Qin Tianhu has always been modest. He is very proud of Qin Feng, but he refuses to praise him lavishly.
Shen Qingci on the side, his eyes flashed brightly, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "For four days and four nights, we rushed all the way from Kyoto to Beixi County. On the day we arrived, we annihilated the Beidi Rangers, leaving behind our mother and third sister. Qin Feng's stinking Boy, if you take it seriously, you can be considered reliable."
Although Jing Qianying didn't say anything, her furrowed brows had relaxed. Recalling what Qin Feng said before leaving the capital, even a stone-hearted person could not help but feel her heart beat faster.
At the same time, Qin Xiaofu brought the news to Tianji Camp.
Upon learning that Mrs. Qin was safe and sound, Tianji camp erupted in a burst of cheers.
The craftsmen and the recruits hugged each other, and their excitement was beyond words.
"Great! As expected of a young master!"
"Crossing thousands of miles and completely annihilating Beidi's elite cavalry, such great achievements are unprecedented in the history of Daliang."
A recruit clenched his fists and said with fiery eyes: "That's right! Although it was only a small-scale battle between dozens of people, it showed the master's military talent! I can't wait to go to the border town, join the master and fight side by side."
Lu Ming was good at making opinions. In the 'Xingjia Courtyard' built specifically for Qin Feng, Xiao Xiangxiang, who was arranging Qin Feng's clothes, heard the heated discussion outside. She couldn't help but smile knowingly and whispered: " Young Master..."
Qin Xiaofu happily ran to Qingya Pavilion and told Lin Quqi the good news.
After learning about this, Lin Quqi couldn't help but sigh: "Unexpected, but reasonable, Mr. Qin is an all-rounder."
Little did they know that the conversation between the two was overheard by the literati who came to sell books.
This matter was like a plague, quickly spreading in the streets and alleys of Kyoto.
People in twos and threes gathered together and discussed excitedly.
"Have you heard? Mrs. Qin was robbed by Beidi people!"
"What? Is there such a thing?! When will the saint send troops to sweep across Beidi and rescue Mrs. Qin?"
"Why are you nervous? The young master of the Qin family has rescued Mrs. Qin."
"ah?"
"Hey, according to reliable information, Beidi barbarians kidnapped Mrs. Qin and planned to use it to blackmail Mr. Qin. As a result, Mr. Qin learned about this and directly led a hundred horse guards to rush out at starry night. Like a sharp blade, it penetrated into the hinterland of Beidi and killed him. Killed thousands of barbarians and brought Mrs. Qin back safe and sound."
Hearing this, a young scholar next to him was full of disdain: "Where did you hear this from the gossip? It was clearly that when Mr. Qin rescued Mrs. Qin, he was blocked by General Beidi. As a result, he killed seven in and seven out. Not only did he annihilate the enemy who blocked the The army even captured the enemy general alive."
The eyes of all the people were shining brightly.
Daliang had been feeling aggrieved for so many years, and finally felt proud and proud for once, which felt very satisfying.
This exaggerated and false news spread in Kyoto, becoming more and more evil.
The maid of Xie Mansion informed Xie Yun'er of the matter.
Xie Yun'er covered her mouth with disbelief in her eyes: "How come I haven't heard anything from Qin Feng in the past few days, and yet he made such a big move?!"
Xie Bi, who was sitting next to him drinking tea, snorted and said angrily: "Don't listen to those gossips. It is true that Qin Feng rescued Mrs. Qin, but it is not as evil as the rumors. However, this operation has verified it. One thing is that Qin Feng spent a lot of money to build a new army with extraordinary combat power."
"If the saint knows this, he will definitely use the new army more!"
