"Zhao Ping, what do you mean?"
Huang Fengnian frowned.
"I order you to suppress the bandits and confiscate all the spoils."
"Now that you don't hand over the loot, you want to sue me. What do you want?"
Seeing Zhao Ping, Huang Fengnian didn't have any worries even if he knew that the other party was going to sue him.
He is the biggest in Yun'an County.
Who can judge him?
A confession is also a confession in vain.
Instead, his first thought was to confiscate Zhao Ping's loot.
The bandits have been entrenched in Yun'an County for so many years, and they have no idea how much savings they have. They are probably richer than him, the county magistrate.
Zhao Ping cannot monopolize such a large amount of money and food.
He wants a piece of the pie.
But Zhao Ping was questioned.
Do you order me to suppress bandits?
Confiscation of loot?
When did this happen? Why didn't I know?
But Zhao Ping soon understood that Huang Fengnian wanted to reap the fruits of victory.
The wishful thinking was really good, but it's a pity that he couldn't make it work.
Zhao Ping said coldly: "Why?"
"Are you still pretending here?"
"Don't you know that I have wiped out the bandits?"
"Have you forgotten everything you have done?"
"What have I done?"
Huang Fengnian asked subconsciously.
"First, unite with the bandits and privately raise the security expenses."
Zhao Ping said loudly.
quiet!
The originally noisy people suddenly became deathly quiet.
Looking at Zhao Ping blankly, wondering what he meant by this?
Even the yamen servant was a little shocked. He looked at Huang Fengnian and then at Zhao Ping, wanting to know whether it was true or false.
Zhang He thought it was true, but Huang Fengnian was greedy.
With tax cuts and exemptions, he can no longer make money, but he can indeed do such a thing.
Huang Fengnian was the first to react. He slapped the gavel hard and said coldly: "Zhao Ping, don't spit on anyone."
"I am an official of the imperial court, and I am responsible for suppressing bandits."
"We are on the opposite side of the bandits. We are incompatible with each other. How can we join forces with them?"
"You don't want to spit on anyone."
"Come here, capture this person who falsely accused the imperial official. I will punish him severely."
snort!
You are still too young to fight with this county magistrate.
This is Yun'an County, and I am the county magistrate, the largest official in Yun'an County.
When I say black, he is black; when I say white, he is white.
No matter how sharp your teeth are, Zhao Ping can't stop the government officials' fire and water sticks.
But following Huang Fengnian, he was dumbfounded.
His order was issued, but no one took action.
Everyone looked at Zhang He.
Although they are officials, they are just ordinary people selected by each county magistrate when he takes office to maintain public order and do some chores.
To put it bluntly, he is still a common man.
It is impossible for them to follow Huang Fengnian out of office.
And Zhang He is the head of the Yamen team. Even if the next county magistrate comes, there will still be a need for the head of the Yamen team.
Following Zhang He, they might be able to continue serving as government officials.
Of course, they also hated Huang Fengnian.
As a county magistrate, he actually got together with the bandits and raised the living expenses. Didn't this force them to rebel?
Yes, they believe Zhao Ping.
If Zhao Ping wanted to be greedy for money, he could just raise the price of medicinal materials when the plague broke out, and he would be able to make a lot of money.
When harvesting sprouted grains, you can make a lot of money by raising the price.
"What are you all doing standing still?"
Huang Fengnian looked a little confused and said coldly: "Didn't you hear the order from this county magistrate?"
"Hurry up and capture this madman Zhao Ping and put him in prison."
But still no one listened to him.
Zhang He couldn't help but asked directly: "Magistrate Huang, is what Mr. Zhao said true or false?"
"Are you sure you are uniting with the bandits to raise the security fee?"
"nonsense!"
Huang Fengnian said with a dark face: "I am an official of the imperial court, how could I do something that is worse than a pig or a dog?"
"Don't listen to the slanderous words of a villain like him."
"Is it slander?"
Zhao Ping sneered, "I have correspondence between you and the bandit master here."
As he spoke, Zhao Ping also took out three letters.
These are letters written by Huang Fengnian to the three bandit masters respectively. They have his signature and seal. This cannot be faked.
"Bring it to me for inspection."
Huang Fengnian said coldly: "I can recognize my handwriting at a glance."
“Others can’t imitate even if they want to.”
"Have you seen it?"
However, at this time, a sneer came from the crowd, "What if you eat the correspondence, where are we going to find evidence?"
When the people heard the sound, they looked sideways.
Then everyone found an old man in his forties, with kind eyes and a kind face, who seemed harmless to humans and animals.
But, I don’t know.
But what he said made sense, and everyone nodded.
If Huang Fengnian ate, burned or destroyed the letter, the evidence would be gone.
If Mr. Zhao wants to sue him again, it will be very difficult.
"Who are you?"
Huang Fengnian said bluntly: "This is the court of Yun'an County. Do you have the right to speak?"
"Go away and don't disturb this county magistrate's conclusion of the case."
"Sorry, I'm afraid you can't continue to solve the case."
The old man walked into the courtroom with a smile, nodded at Zhao Ping, and then continued: "I am Xu Tianhua."
"In the capital, I am a seventh-grade wine tasting officer."
When Xu Tianhua said this, he cupped his hands in the direction of Yong Zhang'an.
"Now, by the emperor's order, I came to Yun'an County to take over the post of county magistrate."
"From now on, you, Huang Fengnian, are no longer the magistrate of Yun'an County, and I, Xu Tianhua, am the real magistrate of Yun'an County."
"So, it's not me who has the right to yell here, but you."
"You, you, you lied."
Huang Fengnian pointed at Xu Tianhua, "It is the emperor's order, why didn't I receive any documents?"
"A small seventh-grade county magistrate also wants to receive a document from His Majesty?"
Xu Tianhua became disdainful, "Are you worthy?"
"I……"
Huang Fengnian was angry.
But he hasn't lost his mind yet.
He knew that the situation was getting worse and worse for him.
Zhao Ping is difficult enough to deal with, but now Xu Tianhua pops up, the future magistrate of Yun'an County.
The two combined forces to make it difficult for him to escape.
For now, all I can do is pretend to be stupid.
Anyway, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. By the time His Majesty learns of this, he no longer knows where to hide and be happy.
After making up his mind, a look of ferocity flashed across Huang Fengnian's face, and he said viciously: "Here comes this guy, pretending to be the county magistrate, drag him out and behead him."
The officer still didn't move.
It's like watching the excitement.
Huang Fengnian knew clearly that he couldn't count on them, so he could only say to his back: "You all should stop hiding."
"Since our county government officials are slacking off and unwilling to do things, it's up to you to do it."
"You will also receive the monthly money of the government officials."
Zhang He quit and said angrily: "Magistrate Huang, you still owe us three months' monthly payment."
"Even if we don't want this month's monthly payment, you still have to pay us two months' monthly payment. Give us the money quickly, and we won't do it anymore."
"That is, if you give us money, we will no longer be yamen servants."
All the government officials agreed.
ah?
Zhao Ping was stunned.
It turns out that arrears of wages to workers existed in ancient times?
It's really advanced.
However, at this moment, six people jumped out from behind the scenes in the courtroom, all dressed in black costumes, and each holding a bright ghost-headed sword in their hands.
Xu Tianhua was frightened and hurriedly backed away, while scolding, "Huang Fengnian, you dare to murder the imperial official, you are looking for death."
Zhao Ping was also frightened.
Unexpectedly, Huang Fengnian was so anxious that he had to call Li Hu.
Before Li Hu could jump out, Zhang He had already led a group of government officials to jump out.
Waving water and fire sticks to fight against the men in black.
And shouted: "Where did the assassin come from?"
"You dare to assassinate the county magistrate in the court hall. Are you treating us as government officials as nothing?"
There are twelve government officials.
Everyone has a fire and water stick in their hand.
When it dances, the tiger becomes powerful.
The stick is longer than the ghost head sword.
As the saying goes, every inch is stronger.
In addition, there were two government officials dealing with a man in black, and the government officials were all young and strong.
For a moment, he stopped the man in black.
There's just something wrong with the style of painting.
The courtroom turned into a melee.
"Mr. Zhao, what should we do now?"
Xu Tianhua took the opportunity to ask Zhao Ping, "This Huang Fengnian jumped over the wall in a hurry. I don't know where he got a group of dead soldiers. I'm afraid it will be difficult to chop off his head today."
"You give the order and I take action."
Zhao Ping said: "I guarantee that he won't be able to escape with his wings."
"good."
Xu Tianhua didn't say anything and said loudly: "As a county magistrate, Huang Fengnian secretly hid key criminals from the imperial court and ordered them to assassinate the imperial officials."
"He dared to disobey His Majesty's orders. It is truly heinous."
"Mr. Zhao, I order you to capture Huang Fengnian quickly without any mistakes."
high!
Zhao Ping gave Xu Tianhua a thumbs up.
At this time, he can still think of giving Huang Fengnian some charges, so that he can be justified if he takes action.
At the same time, let the men in black hear that Huang Fengnian was a traitor, committed a heinous crime, and deserved to die.
If you work for him, you will be implicated.
As for whether those men in black would listen, Zhao Ping had no control over it.
Anyway, the lead is already buried.
He ordered Li Hu: "Tiger, capture Huang Fengnian, the dog official, and don't let him escape."
