"who I am?"
Seeing someone blocking him, He Ping stood up straight, smoothed his clothes, and said, "I am the Chief Minister of Beiping, Sizuo Chief Minister He Ping."
Hearing this, the yamen servant was startled.
Although he didn't wear official clothes, I saw that the old man was in high spirits and had a vague sense of official authority. I couldn't believe it.
Seeing He Ping's arrival, Zhang Zhixian understood.
It turned out to be He Ping, the chief envoy of Si Zuo, the chief envoy of Peking.
I have no chance to meet such a high official.
I'm afraid he is Li Xiao's backer!
The chief envoy of Peking is indeed a high-ranking official, a high-ranking official whom he cannot meet!
No wonder it's useless to deal with his son's affairs, it's just a word from the other party.
Thinking of this, Zhang Zhixian felt angry towards He Ping.
We must impeach him and bring him down!
However, he still walked over with a smile, cupped his hands and said: "Zhang Hanyu, the magistrate of Dong'an County, has met Mr. He."
He Ping said coldly: "A small county magistrate dares to stop me? Get back quickly!"
Zhang Zhixian opened his mouth and asked, "I wonder what the reason for the arrival of Master He is?"
He Ping wanted to take the opportunity to peek at the salt-making process.
He was speechless for a moment and stood there.
At this time, Li Xiao saw that something was wrong, so he hurried over and asked, "What's going on today? What's going on?"
When Li Xiongzhi saw that his patron had arrived, he immediately rushed over and cried loudly:
"It's incredible, it's incredible, I've only been gone for a day."
"In broad daylight, the magistrate beat people violently."
"Our people were beaten to death."
"They. They want to usurp the ownership of salt mines and salt fields!"
What?
Upon hearing this, Li Xiao became furious.
How dare someone dare to attack his father-in-law's salt mine?
"Who is so bold!"
Li Xiao looked around and found Zhang Maojin. He immediately knew why. It turned out that this old man was secretly causing trouble for him!
"Are you Li Xiao?"
Zhang Zhixian looked at Li Xiao and said: "There is something wrong with your land deed contract and it will not take effect. If you want to continue to get the ownership of this salt mountain, you need to go back to the county government to apply for it again!"
"Apply again?"
Li Xiao took out another agreement from that day and said, "It's written in black and white, signed and stamped. Are you kidding me?"
Zhang Zhixian didn't even look at it and said: "This is my negligence. The land deed that Zhang Maojin used that day was illegal in the Ming Dynasty. He needs to change the land deed to the Ming Dynasty land deed first."
Li Xiao asked: "Since it is illegal, why can it be processed on the same day?"
Zhang Zhixian snorted coldly: "I have already said that this is my negligence. It is up to the magistrate to investigate the crime at the first level. It is not your turn to say more."
He Pingdon frowned and said, "How dare you do this? I will punish you now for offending you!"
Zhang Zhixian snorted coldly, "Just treat it, I'm afraid of it! However, you also have to think about your own affairs!"
He Ping:"????"
And at this time.
Zhu Di and others also came over.
I could hear the conversation from a distance.
Zhu Di was already a little angry. How dare someone dare to attack him?
Magistrate Huang shouted loudly: "You Zhang Hanyu, you are crazy, do you know who owns this salt mountain? You actually used such excuses to get back the ownership of the salt mine."
"snort!"
Zhang Zhixian snorted again, determined to fight to the end, glanced at He Ping again, cupped his hands toward the sky and said: "No matter who owns this salt mountain or who is behind it, I have to make the decision for the people today!"
After speaking, he looked at Zhang Maojin.
"Zhang Zhixian is the great master of Qingtian——"
Zhang Maojin shouted loudly and pretended to be sad: "Sir, I am a farmer. This salt mine is an ancestral family property. I was tricked and deceived by Li Xiaolian. Fortunately, we have an upright official in Dong'an County. Are you willing to make the decision for me?"
The words fell.
The villagers in the back, under the instruction of the sixth son of the Zhang family, also shouted, adding to the prestige.
"Yes, Zhang Zhixian is the great master of Qingtian."
"What a good official who makes decisions for the people!"
"The profiteers defrauded our village of the mountain!"
Zhang Maojin brought so many people here because he knew that big shots would come today.
If ordinary people are allowed to make things bigger, the higher-ups will pay more attention and impeachment will be more effective.
"Master Qingtian?"
How could Magistrate Huang not know the virtue of Magistrate Zhang? He almost laughed and said sternly: "I think you are tired of living! Do you know who owns this salt mine?"
"No matter who it is, I must make decisions for the people!"
While talking, Zhang Zhixian glanced at He Ping again.
He Ping, the chief envoy from the left, suddenly wondered, why do you always look at me?
He Ping asked in confusion: "Zhang Zhixian, what do you think my official's intention is?"
Zhang Zhixian said angrily: "As long as you know it in your heart!"
He Ping said: "What do I know?"
Okay, you are still pretending to be stupid. Zhang Zhixian said angrily:
"I work diligently as an official on weekdays. My son Zhang Haoxuan was in the provincial examination and was convicted indiscriminately when he entered the yamen. Now he has a broken leg, has been deprived of his honors, and his future is ruined. My father, who is a county magistrate, is worried. I can’t control it, is there any natural reason for this!”
Finished.
The people shouted again: "There is no justice! The law cannot control high officials!"
"Master Zhang is usually kind to others, often giving alms and giving us rice seeds, but now he has ended up like this. This is because he was harmed by a traitor."
"It's not fair, it's not fair. We must seek justice for Mr. Zhang."
These are all the words that the sixth son of the Zhang family prepared for the villagers in advance.
He Ping was even more speechless. He said loudly: "What does this have to do with me?"
Magistrate Huang immediately knew what was going on. This was something that King Yan had told him, but he didn't expect Lord He Ping to take the blame.
The magistrate is so frustrated and crazy, probably because of this incident.
If you want to blame, just blame your son for offending someone he shouldn't have offended and offending King Yan!
He hurriedly explained: "I have ordered people to investigate this matter. Your son's evidence is conclusive, and there are more than a hundred witnesses. What else is there to say?"
Zhang Zhixian closed his eyes and shouted: "If you want to impose a crime, there is no excuse for it!"
"That's nonsense." Magistrate Huang was also speechless.
The two parties were having a heated argument.
The fight was about to turn upside down.
"enough!"
At this time, a deep voice came.
Zhu Di waved his hand directly: "Come here, take down this gang of unruly people, the magistrate, and the evil officials!"
The words fell.
I heard the sound of footsteps in the distance, which made the ground roar!
The guard Zhang Fu came directly with his soldiers to get the person!
On weekdays, when King Yan travels far away, a hundred personal guards will follow him to ensure safety.
Swish, swish, swish!
The sword is unsheathed!
The armored warrior appeared with great momentum and took control of the situation instantly.
The people who spoke nonsense were dumbfounded and immediately knelt on the ground, not daring to move.
Zhang Maojin and others also knelt on the ground, trembling.
How appalling!
What kind of person is this? There are soldiers following him when he goes out?
And how could there not be Zhu Gaoxu on this occasion?
He also took action, pulled out a soldier's sword, put it on Zhang Zhixian's neck, and said sternly: "Guan Gou, if this salt mine is the property of ordinary people, I'm afraid it will be occupied by you!"
Zhang Zhixian had never seen this scene before. He trembled and said: "I am an official of the imperial court."
Magistrate Huang scolded angrily: "You also know that you are an official of the imperial court, but you did such a disgraceful thing. My daughter is really blind, she actually fell in love with your son, that good-for-nothing. If it hadn't been for that incident, she would have almost fallen in love." Your old trick!"
Magistrate Huang's daughter was Zhang Haoxuan's female companion that day.
Magistrate Zhang and Magistrate Huang have some friendship, and Magistrate Huang continued: "I'll let you know clearly. Do you know who owns this salt mine?"
Zhang Zhixian trembled: "Who?"
Magistrate Huang snorted and said, "This is the property of His Highness King Yan!"
What!
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zhixian suddenly turned pale.
