The entire Ming County echoed with the cheers of the people.
But the Ming County case is far from over.
Qin Feng called Ma Fangyuan in front of the people and said seriously: "Magistrate Ma, don't think that I will let you go if you are coerced by the Wang family."
"Even if you didn't take the initiative to commit evil, the crime of aiding the tyrants cannot be washed away no matter what."
"But if we directly kill you or depose you, even if the court appoints a new county magistrate who is unfamiliar with the place, I'm afraid it will be another mess."
"At least you, old guy, understand the situation in Ming County and have contributed to the promotion of rock tea in Ming County."
"I will give you a chance to continue to be your county magistrate, work hard to benefit the local people, and make up for your previous mistakes."
"From now on, I will send people to Ming County for secret visits every year. If I find out that you are going back to your old ways and harming the people, I will not bother you anymore and will directly kill you!"
Ma Fangyuan knelt on the ground, already in tears.
His body was shaking violently, and the look in Qin Feng's eyes, instead of showing any hostility, was filled with gratitude.
"The Marquis is not only the Qingtian Grand Master of the people, but also the backbone of our officials."
"If I were to be demoted, I would never succumb to the Wang family if I had even the slightest chance."
"But...hey! Now that the Marquis has dealt with the Wang family, I won't mention it anymore."
"Please rest assured, Lord Marquis, I will never let you down. I will do my best to benefit the people."
As he spoke, Ma Fangyuan once again saluted Qin Feng.
If Qin Feng comes to Ming County and just kills randomly, it may be a relief for the people, but the consequence will be that Ming County will be even more chaotic than before.
For the sake of the people, Qin Feng killed to stop killing, and Ma Fangyuan was naturally in awe of him.
Qin Feng ignored Ma Fangyuan's words of gratitude and said bluntly: "All the police officers who are taken into custody will be punished according to the law of Daliang. How long they will be detained is up to you."
"The remaining police officers will be dismissed."
Speaking of this, Qin Feng winked at Zhao Yulong, and Zhao Yulong took out five hundred taels of silver notes and placed them on the table.
Qin Feng said in a deep voice: "These five hundred taels of silver notes are sponsored by me to hire new people."
“If you have money in your hands, you won’t be constrained by others.”
"If you are short of money in the future, you can write to Kyoto to apply. If Kyoto does not reply to you, you can write to Beixi County Magistrate Lin Quqi."
"As long as it is a reasonable expense, Lin Quqi will naturally help you."
After hearing this, if Ma Fangyuan was not concerned about his official status, he would have liked to kowtow to Qin Feng to express his gratitude.
After all, the reason why local officials, especially county magistrates like Ma Fangyuan, want to cooperate with local big families is because of lack of money?
Even though Ma Fang originally had great ambitions, faced with the dilemma of being short of money, he could only surrender in the end.
It's not that the court doesn't give money, but that the money given is not enough, or the delay is too long.
Now that he had Qin Feng as his backer, Ma Fangyuan was confident and vowed to manage Ming County well again.
Qin Feng stood up directly, looked at everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "Listen to me!"
"The county magistrate hires government officials to govern Ming County and provide help, not to support you in bullying the people."
"Human nature is evil. You may hate the Yamen now, but when you become the Yamen, you will definitely follow the same path as the Yamen."
"Whoever dares to form gangs, evade the county magistrate, and seek personal gain."
"As long as the county magistrate writes a letter to report, it will be a bloodbath in the county government!"
"Don't think that just blocking the mouth of the county magistrate is enough. I have a lot of people and money in my hands. Every county that I remember will have people coming to make secret visits every year."
"If anyone doesn't believe in evil and wants to try the law himself, just come!"
Qin Feng's words were extremely weighty, but to the people present, they were so pleasant to the ears.
Their eyes were brighter than ever before, and for a moment, they fell to their knees one after another, crying with joy and shouting loudly.
"The arrival of Lord Qin in Ming County is a blessing to the people."
No one expected that Qin Feng had already thought about the problem so far-reaching when he first came to Ming County, and had directly and fundamentally prevented the growth of local snakes.
In the final analysis, all Qin Feng's actions were to uproot local forces and consolidate the power of the county magistrate.
Only when the county magistrate is strong enough can he benefit the people.
Of course, if the county magistrate himself has problems, Qin Feng will never tolerate it and will just kill him.
Help people to the end and send Buddha to the West.
Seeing that it was already getting late, Qin Feng simply decided to return to Kyoto early the next morning and spent the night helping Ma Fangyuan find and hire new officials.
It wasn't until nightfall that Liu Yunxia, the core figure in the case, finally came to the county seat.
When the yamen officer who went to take people with him learned what happened in the county yamen, he felt fear at first, and then felt glad again.
They didn't expect that they actually escaped.
Ma Fangyuan was not polite and directly ordered the newly recruited yamen officers to catch the four old people in front of them.
Three of them were arrested on the spot and thrown into jail.
The only remaining "old man", because he was a "mediocre person", relied on his relatives to get a job in the county government, just to earn a living, he was the kind of person who let him bully others. People who don't know how to do it.
Ma Fangyuan swept away the cowardice of the past and became more majestic than ever before.
"Why did you come back after being away for so long? Do you know how long Lord Qin has been waiting?"
Facing Ma Fangyuan's questioning, the honest and honest Yacha looked aggrieved.
"Sir, it's not that we are delaying on purpose, but... this girl Liu Yunxia is too difficult to deal with."
"We explained everything to her, but she still didn't believe it. She took the opportunity and ran away. It took us a long time to catch her."
Hearing this, Ma Fangyuan looked at Liu Yunxia who was tied up, and shouted with an annoyed face: "What are you still doing in daze? Let her go quickly!"
The honest and honest officer didn't dare to hesitate and quickly untied the rope from Liu Yunxia's body.
Liu Yunxia just regained her freedom and ran away without any hesitation.
Ma Fangyuan shouted anxiously: "Second daughter Liu, don't run away again. You are no longer a fugitive. Your sisters are waiting for you in the county government office."
Hearing this, Liu Yunxia stopped.
But her eyes were still full of doubts. She clenched her fists and shouted in a tearful voice: "I work alone and take responsibility for myself. Let my sister and sister go."
Ma Fangyuan sighed and explained patiently: "Your sisters are waiting for you at the county government office. No one has arrested them."
"I'm afraid you still don't know that both the Wang family and his son were killed by the Marquis of Qin. Even the prefect clan member was deposed. The Wang family is completely finished."
"From now on, no one will bully you sisters anymore."
