Wei Zhentang, who looked excited, suddenly froze and looked at Meng Tianxiang and Tang Xiao with excited eyes.
Then he burst into laughter, "I understand. It turns out that you have colluded in all this a long time ago and used us as a scapegoat. Why didn't I understand it earlier?"
"I've solved so many bad things for you, but I didn't expect to end up like this in the end. I'm not willing to accept it! Your Majesty, you..."
"Bold, Prince, you can insult me like this, someone..."
Butler Tang above him had cold eyes and scolded him coldly, before he finished speaking.
In front of my eyes, a gust of wind flashed past, and then, two blurry black shadows flashed past.
With the sound of a broken neck, everyone came back to their senses.
Wei Zhentang and Zhou Han, who had been shouting furiously just now, had their necks broken and were killed on the spot.
The second and third leaders of the dignified county were directly punished in this way.
The one who took action was Tang Xiao's guard, the shadow guard Meng Tianxiang said.
After the two were dealt with neatly, the shadow guard remained silent and returned behind Tang Xiao.
The Shadow Guard's actions were not beyond Butler Tang's expectations. Butler Tang snorted coldly.
"You dare to speak out and interrupt the state pastoral order. You are a reckless person. Now the two of you have been punished. The reading will continue."
Butler Tang's voice paused, and then he said slowly, "Su Qi'an from Lingbei County made great contributions to the turmoil in Sichuandu County."
"The pastor of this state has now reported this matter to the imperial court, and specifically requests that Su Qi'an be granted the title of Dongshan County Bodhisattva."
"Meng Tianxiang, the governor of Chuandu County, has such a major event in the area under his jurisdiction. However, Nian is ill and imprisoned. This matter will be forgotten. We will check it in the future and make a decision."
After the voice fell, Butler Tang slowly closed the scroll and said to Su Qi'an and Meng Tianxiang below, "Uncle Su, Master Meng, please accept the order."
The two stood up and respectfully received the order.
After doing all this, Butler Tang stepped forward with a smile on his face and said to Su Qian.
"Congratulations to Uncle Su. It is estimated that in a few days, Uncle Su's county earl will arrive and congratulate him."
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou Mu, for your cultivation. Thank you, Su."
Butler Tang nodded and continued, "Uncle Su, Mr. Zhou Mu is very thirsty for talented people. With my uncle's talent, a small county is too sleepy for me. I look forward to my uncle being in the state." It’s time for Chengda to show off his skills.”
Su Qian nodded in response.
Butler Tang's eyes turned and fell on Meng Tianxiang, and he said softly, "Mr. Meng, you should know how to deal with the matter here later. I have asked Mr. Zhoumu to tell you. I hope Mr. Meng can take some care. This is related to your future future."
Meng Tianxiang stiffened and nodded quickly.
"Okay, this matter is over. I won't stay here for long. I have to return to the state capital and report to the state shepherd."
"Your Majesty, come with me. Lord Zhou Mu has already complained about your trip."
"Oh, I understand, I will go back with you."
Tang Xiao changed his previous strong attitude. Butler Tang's message was like a mouse meeting a cat, so Tang Xiao didn't resist at all.
Under the watch of everyone, Tang Xiao, Butler Tang and others left straight away after a while.
After the two left, the atmosphere in the county gradually became relaxed.
Especially the soldiers from the county government, their faces were almost pale, and large beads of sweat were dripping down their foreheads.
With the ruthless tactics of the shadow guards just now and the momentum exuded by the group of soldiers from the state capital, he really wanted to take action.
They were afraid that they wouldn't be able to survive three moves, and they were frightened in their hearts.
Compared to the soldier's fear, Meng Tianxiang's expression was much more serious. He and Su Qi'an looked at each other.
Then he waved, and his subordinates came over and whispered a few words in his ears. Meng Tianxiang and Su Qi'an turned around and entered the courtroom.
As for the men who received the order, without any hesitation, they led the soldiers from the county and Su Qi'an's village protection team and went straight to the Zhou and Wei mansions.
People who pay attention to the developments of the county government at any time
, watching the soldiers pouring out of Wuyang Wuyang, and looking at the direction they were going.
Some thoughtful people had deep shock on their faces. They knew that the situation in this county had completely changed.
Sure enough, ten minutes later, the residences of the Wei family and Zhou family were instantly surrounded by soldiers.
The captain at the head was not afraid of the Zhou Wei family guards who were confronting them.
The state pastoral order was read out on the spot. This was their confidence.
If the Zhou Wei guards remain stubborn and resist to the end, what awaits them may be even more crazy attacks.
After hearing that their backers, Wei Zhentang and Zhou Han were killed on the spot.
Wei Yun and Zhou Jie looked pale and stood there blankly, looking in disbelief. They murmured softly, "How could this happen? How could this happen..."
The captain who came to ransack the house didn't have the patience to spend time with them. If they didn't surrender, they would attack by force.
The Zhou and Wei families, the largest local tyrants in the county, even though they were arrogant, under the state pastoral order, they knew how to choose and which one was more important.
After the three numbers fell, it didn't take long for the guards of the Zhou and Wei families to give up their resistance and the door opened.
The surrounding captain gave an order, and instantly, the soldiers behind him rushed in...
About half an hour later, the men and women of the two families were controlled one by one and escorted out.
The people who were watching looked at this scene and sighed in their hearts, "The two largest local tycoons in Sichuandu County no longer exist at this moment and have been wiped out."
They witnessed the destruction of two powerful families. At the same time, another rising family would dominate Sichuandu County very quickly.
Over there is Su Qi'an from Lingbei County, or to be more precise, Bo Su Qi'an from Dongshan County.
Compared to the hustle and bustle of the outside world, the atmosphere in a side room in the county mansion is relatively low-key.
There were only Su Qi'an and Meng Tianxiang in the room, so they could naturally feel the noise from the outside world.
After a moment of silence, Su Qi'an spoke, "Mr. Meng, if you have anything to do, just tell me. Su has experienced a lot along the way, but there is never a word of fear in him. No matter how thorny the future is, Su will face it calmly."
"Okay, with your words, I feel relieved."
Meng Tianxiang nodded with a smile, and then whispered, "Su Juren, just like Master Zhoumu said, a small Sichuandu County will never be able to trap you. The Zhoucheng and even Kyoto are your stage."
"But I am here, but I want to warn you a few words."
"When you get to Zhoucheng, try not to conflict with the big shots in Zhoucheng, especially the prince Tang Xiao just now."
"You have also seen that the guards around him are very strong. These people are state shepherds, specially trained to protect him. They are a group of guys who are more powerful than dead soldiers."
"We call him Shadow Guard. I don't even know about a person like this. Moreover, in the city of Zhou, besides Zhou Mu and the other two deputies, Zhou Cheng and Zhou Wei, you also have to be careful."
"The rights of these two people are not under Zhou Mu, and they are not like Wei Zhentang and Zhou Han who will be taken down by me. In some respects, Zhou Mu is not their opponent."
Su Qi'an raised his eyebrows, obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect that Xizhou Mu would also be restrained.
But on second thought, this matter can be considered a good thing for Su Qi'an. Maybe he can take advantage of the discord between the three of them to make a fuss about his own survival later.
Whatever Su Qi'an was thinking, it was natural that he could not escape Meng Tianxiang's eyes. It was not that he wanted to stop him, but rather to support him.
After all, if Su Qian enters the city, no matter what he does, he will definitely offend one of the three parties.
Instead of doing this, it is better to see if there is a chance to find survival among the three people's discord.
Su Qi'an was quite grateful for Meng Tianxiang's advice. After all, judging from what happened just now, he had already offended Tang Xiao.
Although Butler Tang conveyed Zhou Mu's admiration for him, Su Qi'an knew how many secrets were hidden in it.
Moreover, the methods of Wei Zhentang and Zhou Han could be
It's not as simple as it seems.
Behind this, there are more or less some secrets hidden, but these secrets have completely become a mystery with the death of the two.
Anyone who is curious enough to investigate will probably be close to death.
After all, Su Qi'an clearly remembered the beating that Butler Tang had given Meng Tianxiang just now.
With these three high-ranking guys above his head, it is not easy for Meng Tianxiang to be the county governor.
Su Qi'an sighed a little. After briefly chatting with Meng Tianxiang, Su Qi'an pondered for a while and then spoke.
"Master Meng, there is something that Su wants to ask you about. It is about the rebellion of Marquis Laiyang..."
Before Su Qi'an finished speaking, Meng Tianxiang's expression changed. He quickly stopped Su Qi'an with an extremely serious expression and whispered.
"Su Juren, don't mention this matter anymore. The case of Marquis Laiyang's rebellion has been finalized. If Zhou Mu can kindly reverse the case for those people, no matter what the reason is, it is a blessing."
"This matter ends here. If you continue to explore, you will probably die!"
Seeing Meng Tianxiang so nervous, Su Qi'an smiled, shook his head and said.
"Mr. Meng, where are you thinking? Of course Su understands the weight of power and disadvantages, so he will not be stupid enough to risk his life. As for the so-called reversal of the verdict, it has nothing to do with Su. That's not what Su is asking about."
Hearing what Su Qian said, Meng Tianxiang's expression became more relaxed.
He was afraid that Su Qi'an would have the idea of overturning the case for Marquis Laiyang. This was a serious crime. Let alone overturning the case, if it happened to you, you would have to shed your skin even if you didn't die.
Fortunately, Su Qi'an was not stupid. Then, Su Qi'an's voice slowly sounded.
"What Su actually wants to ask is how much Master Meng knows about the so-called remnants of the overturned cases, or to put it another way, what is the relationship between those people and Master Meng?"
As soon as these words came out, Meng Tianxiang's face froze at first, and he looked at Su Qi'an with a playful expression.
"Oh, what makes Su Juren think like this? It will connect those people with me."
"Haha, Su is quite active in thinking. If Su does something wrong and makes you displeased, I hope you won't mind."
Su Qian smiled and looked at Meng Tianxiang faintly.
After a brief silence, Meng Tianxiang sighed and said, "Su Ju is indeed a talented man with a keen eye. You are right, they have some relationship with me."
