Say it! What are the origins of this Fan family father and son? Makes you so intimidated? "
In the back office, Li Zexuan asked in a deep voice with his hands behind his back.
How could someone as smart as him not see the anger and hesitation in Magistrate He's eyes when he looked at Fan Jianqiang? It was precisely because of these that he asked.
Magistrate He looked stunned and said with a wry smile: "Master Hou, the Fan family started in the fourth year of Wude. It can be said that it is a big tree with deep roots in Lantian County. The family has thousands of acres of fertile land. They have dozens of shops in the city, dealing in silk, Businesses such as clothing, jade, restaurants, and gambling houses have thousands of tenants and hundreds of servants. It can be said that it is the most powerful business in Lantian County!
Not to mention other things, Fan Jiaguang can make thousands of dollars in taxes every year. It is precisely because of this that Xiaguan turns a blind eye to Fan Jianqiang of the Fan family on weekdays, as long as he doesn't go too far out of his way!
When Xiaguan took office in Lantian County in the first month of last year, he also wanted to take down the Fan family and his son, who were full of evildoers. However, if the government took action against the Fan family, Lantian County would have to collect thousands of dollars in taxes every year. If there is no assessment, then this part of the tax can only be imposed on the people!
The lower official didn't want to do it, so he had to hold back his desire to deal with the Fan family and his son. He wanted to wait until the people in Lantian County were richer and all the children went to school before attacking them. Unexpectedly, Fan Jianqiang was so audacious. He dared to confront the Marquis. It was a crime for a subordinate to shield a powerful man! "
After saying that, Magistrate He bowed deeply to Li Zexuan and bent down. His face was full of guilt at this moment.
"Get up!"
Li Zexuan was silent for a moment and then said: "Since everything happened for a reason, and you care about the people wholeheartedly, how can I blame you again! However, although it is excusable, I do not agree with your actions! Lantian County certainly The conditions are not good and it is difficult to collect taxes, but indulging powerful people is like drinking poison to quench thirst, but it hurts the people's hearts. No matter what, I don't want you to do such a thing again in the future!"
County Magistrate He cupped his hands with a gloomy look on his face and said: "What the Marquis taught me is that the lower officials are confused!"
"Well! It's not too late to make things right! From now on, you just have to care for the people's livelihood and be worthy of the title of a county parent official!"
As for the taxation and finance of Lantian County, you don’t need to worry! As long as I am here, the county's treasury will be rich every year, and the people will gradually become rich. The government will always be a government, relying on the powerful people in the city to maintain the operation of the government. Can such a government be called a government? It's better to call him a pawn of the rich!
You should immediately send someone to investigate the illegal things that the Fan family and his son have done over the years. After the investigation is clear, hold a public trial and allow the entire county to watch! "
In the past, Lantian County still needed to complete the taxation tasks given by the court, but now it is completely unnecessary, because now Lantian County has become Li Zexuan's fiefdom, and the land, official appointment and financial power are all owned by Li Zexuan. The taxes will be handed over to Li Zexuan instead.
To a certain extent, the current Li Zexuan is similar to the vassal king who split the earth and sealed the king in the previous dynasty, except that the area of the fiefdom is smaller!
With Li Zexuan's backing, Magistrate He's back straightened immediately. Naturally, those previous scruples no longer disappeared. He excitedly raised his hands and said, "Yes! Lord Marquis! I'll let people investigate Fan Fan thoroughly." Home!"
"Sir! Sir! It's not good! It's not good! Mr. Fan has brought many guards of the Fan family to the front office and is making a big fuss. He wants us to release Fan Qiangqiang quickly!"
At this moment, a government servant ran over in a hurry and shouted as he ran.
"presumptuous!"
Magistrate He's expression changed. The court was so solemn. Now Fan Tong came directly to make trouble. This was a slap in his face! Especially today, Li Zexuan is still watching from the side, which makes Magistrate He's face even more ugly!
"Zheng Fan! Quickly notify all the officials on duty in the county government office to gather in the front yard! Those who are late will not have to eat this bowl of official rice! Today, I will punish these thugs who dare to rush into the county government office. Catch them all in one fell swoop!”
"Yes! Sir!"
When the yamen officer saw that Magistrate He was so "hard-headed" today, his blood suddenly surged and he responded in his loudest voice.
"Master Hou, it's all my fault that Xiaguan is too indulgent to people like Fan Tong, which makes them dare to be so presumptuous. Xiaguan will definitely try his best to make up for the past mistakes in the future!"
After the yamen servant left, Magistrate He bowed his hands to Li Zexuan with a look of shame on his face.
"Haha! If you know your mistakes and can correct them, there is no greater good! I will go with you to meet that Fan Tong!"
Li Zexuan smiled slightly and said.
By the way, when he mentioned the name Fan Tong, he felt like laughing inexplicably. He didn't know what kind of talent the person who named Fan Tong was!
………………………
"My son has always been well-behaved. Why did you put him in jail for no reason? Where is Capt. Zhao? Let him come out. I would like to ask him if he has eaten the courage of his ambition? And where is the county magistrate? ? In the past, when the county government collected taxes, my Fan family was always the most active. Doesn’t what the county magistrate is doing today chill the hearts of all the gentry in Lantian County? "
In the front yard of the county government office, a middle-aged man with fat head, big ears and well-dressed clothes was holding his big belly and angrily reprimanding all the government officials in the yard.
It was as if he was an official and these government officials were citizens.
This also shows how kind Magistrate He was to the gentry in the city in the past.
"Hmph! Mr. Fan! Your son robbed a girl in broad daylight. How can this county not catch him? But you, Lang Lang Qiankun, led people to gather in the government office. What do you want? Do you have national law in your eyes? Do you have the authority? ?Is there a current majesty?"
Fan Tong was in full swing when Magistrate He suddenly walked out of the court hall. At the same time, two teams of government servants ran out from both sides and surrounded Fan Tong and the guards and servants he had brought. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense!
Fan Tong was stunned for a moment. Obviously, he did not expect that Magistrate He's attitude would suddenly become so decisive today. Then he said angrily: "What about robbing a common girl and gathering in the government office? It's just a crime! My son was arrested today. That person is just a maid who escaped from my Fan Mansion! As for me, I came here today just to seek justice for my son! How can I despise the law of the country?"
"Hmph! That's nonsense! I have already asked you clearly. That girl's identity is pure. When did she become the maid of your Fan Mansion?"
Magistrate He said coldly.
Fan Tong scolded: "Impossible! That girl must be lying! My son has her bond of sale!"
"Haha! The deed of betrayal? Fan Tong, Fan Tong, go ask your son later and see if he can produce the deed of betrayal! Come on, Fan Tong clashed with the county government, flouted the national law, and was put into prison first, and he will be interrogated on a different day! "
Li Zexuan, who was standing behind Magistrate He, was not willing to waste time at this moment. He walked out and gave instructions in a deep voice.
"Yes! Mr. Hou!"
