Of course, these three people also have accomplices. This companion is a government servant who is good at imitating the sounds of various animals.
The three of them planned to kill Zhou Wen first tonight, pretending to be the scene of the murder.
The three of them found another reason to find Chang Feng.
When they arrive in front of Chang Feng, their accomplices will make the ghostly cry of Chang Feng, misleading Chang Feng into saying that they were not present when Chang Feng killed her.
However, their tricks were not very clever in front of Chang Feng, the second shopkeeper of Jinyiwei. At most it's just being smart.
Three people confessed the truth. Chang Feng ordered people to lock up their wings.
Chang Feng then said to Jin Bao: "Your daughter was raped to death by Chief Lin and a group of government officials. It is understandable that you killed Chief Lin in revenge."
"But if you kill the next three officers in succession, you are killing innocent people indiscriminately!"
Jin Bao snorted coldly: "These so-called superiors, who colluded with the chieftains to exploit the people when they came to Yinjiang, are also worthy of death. I am doing justice for heaven!"
Chang Feng sighed: "You have your reasons. I have my own national law. The national law of the Ming Dynasty is to pay for life by killing people and pay debts by paying debts."
Lin Sanjiu laughed at the side: "National law? Hahaha! This ridiculous Ming Dynasty national law only protects powerful and wealthy people!"
Changfeng was speechless. Isn’t it just the national law of the Ming Dynasty that is like this? This has been true throughout the ages.
Fatty Xu said: "Master Chang, what should we do with these three people? Can we just kill them on the spot?"
Chang Feng said: "Keep the three of them for now. I am useful. Go and call the inspector Gao Chenghu."
Not long after, Gao Chenghu came to the lobby.
Chang Feng said: "I have put you in jail for two days. You have been wronged."
Gao Chenghu asked bluntly: "Chang Qianshi said that I would seek justice for my brother Paoze. A big shot like you has to spit out every breath and nail it!"
Chang Feng nodded: "Don't worry about that! I have submitted a memorial to the emperor, impeaching the Guangxi Governor for being corrupt and loyal, and beating up the meritorious veterans."
"In addition, I request the emperor to promote you to the position of commanding officer. I will respect your robes."
"I will never let the hero shed blood and tears!"
Gao Chenghu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Chang Qian."
Chang Feng turned to look at Zhou Wen again: "Zhou Wen, you have been in office for three years, and you have been frightened all day long because of the legend of being involved in the ghost yamen. You have made no achievements in government affairs."
"And you really embezzled ten thousand taels of tax money. Although this is an unwritten rule among Guizhou officials, it still violates the national law."
"I will definitely punish you!"
Zhou Wen handed over his hand: "Chang Qianshi saved my life. I am willing to accept any punishment."
Chang Feng thought for a while and said, "I will punish you to stay in Yinjiang. Be the first magistrate of Yinjiang!"
Zhou Wen was surprised: "Chang Qian really wants to implement the reform of the land and return to local status?"
Chang Feng nodded: "That's right. The emperor sent me to Qianjiang this time to find out the truth about the Gui Yamen just as a sidekick. The most important purpose is to implement reform and return to local status."
"You must be the first magistrate of Yinjiang County. Do things for the people in a down-to-earth manner."
"In addition, all your 10,000 taels of tax money will be confiscated. It will be used as funds to implement the reform of the land."
Zhou Wen kowtowed: "Thank you Chang Qian for your great kindness!"
Chang Feng told Fatty Xu: "Dudu Ye has been feeding mosquitoes in Fanjing Mountain for three days. Pull the letter arrow and let him and his brothers file a lawsuit."
Fatty Xu took the order and left.
Next, Chang Feng will use force and wisdom to forcefully implement the reform of the country.
He knew in his heart that if he could handle this matter well and answer the test questions given by Emperor Hongzhi. He must be the next commander of the Jin Yiwei.
Fatty Xu fired the letter arrow, and a bright light shot straight into the sky.
The two thousand soldiers from the Beijing camp that Ye Guang brought to Yinjiang were assembled and began to go down the mountain.
Chang Feng stood on the wooden corridor of the outer watchtower, waiting for Ye Guang's arrival.
Sun Guishou came to Chang Feng: "Master Chang is indeed smart and capable. It only took three days to find out the truth about the Ghost Yamen."
Chang Feng said: "It's not worth mentioning. If I can't even figure out a murder case that happened in the Sixth Grade Yamen, what's the point of the emperor talking about it?"
Having said this, Chang Feng stopped abruptly.
Sun Guishou smiled and said: "Master Chang wants to say, why did the emperor leave the entire Jinyi Guard to you, right?"
Chang Feng was silent. He didn't want to show his ambition.
Every young man is ambitious. Changfeng is no exception.
Sun Guishou said meaningfully: "Since the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Taizu established the Jinyi Guards. In one hundred and twelve years, there were a total of nineteen Jinyiwei commanders."
"There are seventeen people who did not end well. The remaining two people died well because they were just giving orders under the guise and had no real power in their hands."
Chang Feng was stunned after hearing this, and counted with his fingers: "Mao Xiang, Jiang Gu, Song Zhong, Ji Gang. Ah, as the old man said, only two of them died a good death."
Sun Guishou said: "The emperor values you, Mr. Chang, so he will naturally always give you real power and will not let you be used as a cover in Jin Yiwei."
"If you want to die well, there is only one way!"
Chang Feng asked: "Where to go?"
Sun Guishou said: "Hidden behind the scenes and controlled the Jin Yiwei as a minister. Give up the title of commander to others."
"The strategy you used when you were the governor of Beizhen was very good. Let Qian Ning stand in front of the stage and be your substitute."
"You must not be tempted by the title of commander and lose your life."
Chang Feng was entangled.
Everyone knows that the bigger the official position, the greater the risk.
Every civil servant has a dream: to one day enter the cabinet and become a highly respected minister.
Everyone in the Jinyi Guards also dreams of becoming a commander one day.
Changfeng is not a saint, nor is he exempt from vulgarity. The title of Commander is really too tempting.
However, Sun Guishou was right. Among the nineteen commanders, not one of the seventeen with real power met a happy end.
How could Chang Feng expect to become a special case?
But this matter can be considered slowly. The top priority is to implement land reform and return to flow in Yinjiang River.
Half an hour later, Ye Guang led two thousand soldiers from the Beijing camp and entered the lawsuit.
Chang Feng raised his hands towards Ye Guang and said, "Captain Ye, you and your brothers have suffered in Fanjing Mountain these past three days!"
Ye Guang didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't matter. Soldiers should endure hardship. If you are bitten by mosquitoes, you can do anything!"
Chang Feng said: "Brothers have to hide in various watchtowers and ambush before dawn. Tomorrow I will set up a Hongmen banquet and invite the chieftains to come and have a feast."
Ye Guang was confused: "You told me when we were in Sinan Xuanwei Division that those local snakes are very cunning. Will they come as promised?"
Chang Feng smiled and said: "They will definitely come! Because the banquet they eat is the funeral banquet of former chief Zhou Wen and current chief Chang Huayu!"
At dawn, Chang Feng sent out government servants to report the funeral of the four chieftains in the name of the tax collector Huang Liang. He lied that he had a lawsuit last night and that he had changed his wife. Bianpo killed Zhou Wen and "Chang Huayu".
The four chieftains each brought one or two hundred men with them to Chang Guan Si, hoping to watch the excitement.
Mrs. Ninth was wearing a filial piety robe, and Fatty Xu was carrying a flag, standing in front of the suspension bridge where the lawsuit was held.
Fatty Xu wears a filial hat on his head and carries a flag on his shoulders, looking exactly like a fat filial son.
Chang Feng has a good sense of humor. Even during the Hongmen Banquet, he never forgot to take advantage of Fatty Xu.
Not long after, the four chieftains walked up to Madam Ninth.
Mrs. Ninth cried so hard that she shouted in Tujia dialect: "My husband, why did you just go away like this! My life is so miserable!"
The Tujia chieftain was surprised: "Madam, are you a Tujia?"
Madam Ninth nodded: "Exactly."
The chieftain of the Miao family smiled and said: "What, Di'er, do you like her? She is a widow now. You can take her home as a concubine."
The chieftain of the Dong family said: "Such a wonderful woman, wouldn't it be a pity to give her land? It's better to give me an advantage!"
Among the four major chieftains, the Tujia chieftain Diqueque was the most benevolent and treated his people the best.
But the Tujia people's power is the smallest in Yinjiang.
The Miao, Dong, and Yi ethnic groups have joined forces and have been oppressing the Tujia people for many years.
The Ninth Lady said: "Four of you, please come in. Ah, can your soldiers and horses wait until the lawsuit is over? So as not to scare the soul of my husband."
Anyway, the former and current commanders are dead. Jin Bao, Huang Liang, and Lin Sanjiu colluded with them on weekdays and had a good relationship.
They entered the lawsuit boldly and confidently.
Madam Ninth and Fatty Xu followed them, walked onto the suspension bridge, and returned to the Long Court.
Everyone came to the lobby.
Where are the coffins and coffins in the lobby? Chang Feng and Zhou Wenhao were sitting in the lobby.
The chieftain of the Miao family was furious: "Are you trying to trick us?"
Chang Feng smiled slightly: "If I didn't say we were dead, wouldn't you bring troops to file a lawsuit?"
"Come on, give the order and close the suspension bridge!"
The chieftain of the Miao family asked Chang Feng: "What do you mean?"
Chang Feng said: "What I mean is very simple! Change the local status and return to local status! Abolish your hereditary chieftain position. From now on, there will be no chieftains in Yinjiang, only county magistrates!"
“All the powers of governing the people, taxing, and punishing people will be returned to the county government!”
"Disband all the armies in your hands!"
"From now on, you will be treated like ordinary people. At most, you can only be considered a wealthy foreigner!"
The chieftain of the Miao family sneered: "You have a beautiful idea! Our four families have 50,000 people and 5,000 clan soldiers!"
"Although we only have four to five hundred people outside the government office at the moment, how can we stop them with more than a hundred government officials and civilians who have filed lawsuits?"
Chang Feng didn't take it seriously: "Who told you that there are only more than a hundred government officials and people who are in charge of long-term lawsuits?"
After speaking, Chang Feng put his finger in his mouth and blew a whistle.
More than two thousand soldiers from the Beijing camp emerged from the towers and stood on the wooden corridors and walls. They were all armed with swords, guns, bows and arrows. There are also two to three hundred firecrackers and a dozen iron cannons.
Chang Feng said to the four chieftains: "Go to the entrance of the lobby and have a look!"
The four toasts came to the entrance of the lobby and were immediately dumbfounded.
After a moment, they turned around dejectedly.
The Miao chieftain asked: "What do you want to do?"
Chang Feng smiled and said: "After the change of local officials to return to local officials, the chief official became the county government. There is no longer any separation between local officials and local officials."
"I'm depriving you of your hereditary chieftain position. I feel sorry for you."
"From now on, please live in the county government office. I will promote you to be scribes in the sixth house, and I will give you a position!"
The chieftain of the Miao family said angrily: "Do you think everything will be fine if we are imprisoned? My people will save me!"
"If you kill me, my people will avenge me!"
Chang Feng was stunned: "Who are you, dare to threaten the imperial envoy?"
"Will your people save you? The Yinjiang Miao family has been oppressed by your chieftain family for hundreds of years. You take everything from them, lynching them at every turn."
"Those Miao family members are like your slaves. They have hated you for a long time, and the chieftain family hates you so much that their teeth are itching!"
"It's too late for them to applaud you when you change your country and return to your homeland! How can you help the tyrants to do evil, launch a rebellion and disobey the imperial court for your enemy?"
The chieftain of the Miao family was a little timid, but he still had the courage to say: "Even if those bastards support you. My clan soldiers will not support you! They will"
Chang Feng smiled and said: "What if I tell your clan soldiers that as long as they put down their swords and guns, the court will allow them to divide the old chieftain's wealth?"
The chieftain of the Miao family was dumbfounded: "Let the clan soldiers divide my family wealth?"
Chang Feng nodded: "People die for wealth, and birds die for food. I think the same is true for the clan soldiers who were originally loyal to you."
"As long as the Yinjiang Miao people are willing to support the imperial court in reforming their land, the clan soldiers can divide your money. Ordinary Miao people can divide your land."
"I don't believe it. They are still willing to sacrifice their lives for you?"
"Not to mention, Yinjiang has just stationed two thousand elite soldiers from the imperial court!"
The chieftain family has been dominating the common people for hundreds of years. Chang Feng now gave them an opportunity to not only take revenge, but also take money, share grain, and share land.
It’s strange that they don’t enthusiastically support the reform of the country!
Chang Feng turned to look at the other three chieftains: "You are the same!"
Tujia chieftain Di'er'er is a good person. He was the first to stand up: "We, the Yinjiang Tujia people, are willing to cooperate with the court and implement the reform of the Tujia people."
The chieftain of the Miao family looked at him and said, "Are you going to be the lackey of the Han family?"
Chang Feng imitated the accent of the Miao chieftain and said: "We in the Han family have an old saying, Wei Junjie, the dancer of Xixi. I think the methods I am using now are enough to shut up your Excellency."
The chieftain of the Dong family said: "You encourage the bastards to divide our property. You are violating the law!"
"We have good relations with the Huang family. There are people in the Huang family in the court! They will impeach you to the court!"
Chang Feng and Fatty Xu looked at each other and said with a smile: "Fatty, they scared me to death!"
Chang Feng turned around and glared at the Dong chieftain: "Huang Liang has been arrested by me. I have already interrogated him clearly. The Huang family only spent a few thousand silver to make friends with three stupid censors in the capital."
"Do you know who I am?"
The chieftain of the Dong family said: "Aren't you the new chief of Yinjiang?"
Fatty Xu scolded him: "You are blind! The person in front of you is Jin Yiwei commanding Zuo Qian Shi Changfeng! The famous man in front of the emperor!"
The chieftain of the Dong family had limited knowledge and asked, "What kind of official is that?"
Fatty Xu said angrily: "Let's put it this way, even if the governor of Guizhou sees our Master Chang, he has to kowtow and salute!"
Fatty Xu pointed at himself again: "Fat Master, I am Xu Guangzuo, the crown prince of Dingguo! Are we afraid of the few little censors the Huang family has handed over in Beijing?"
The four chieftains have lost all their arrogance now.
Chang Feng pointed at Zhou Wen: "Why don't you quickly kowtow to the new magistrate of Yinjiang County, Mr. Zhou Wenzhou?"
The four chieftains had no choice but to kneel down and kowtow to Zhou Wen.
Chang Feng said: "Put it down. Take care of it first."
Hit the snake within seven inches, capture the thief first and capture the king. In addition, Chang Feng held two thousand soldiers from the capital camp with one hand, and held an order to divide the land among the chieftains with the other hand.
The reform of Yinjiang was in full swing.
As Chang Feng expected. The clan soldiers received money from the chieftain's family. Ordinary people got the hills, woods, and land of the chieftain's family. They all expressed their gratitude to Yinjiang County Government.
How could they rebel for the chieftain who had oppressed them for hundreds of years after receiving benefits?
The situation in Yinjiang is neither small nor great, but extremely good!
Chang Feng stayed in Yinjiang for a whole month. Yinjiang County has been built into a model for reforming the land and returning it to the mainstream.
Then he beheaded the three murderers Jin Bao, Huang Liang, and Lin Sanjiu in public.
Chang Feng also showed no mercy towards the Huang family of Semu people.
The Huang family has been entrenched in Yinjiang for more than a hundred years and has done many evil things. The crimes committed are too numerous to list.
Chang Feng raided the Huang family directly. All the money gained will be returned to the county government. From now on, it will be used to support the Miao, Tu, Yi and Dong people.
A month later, Chang Feng set off and returned to Sinan Xuanwei Division.
The first thing Yang Yiqing said when he saw Chang Feng was: "Chang Qianshi, you did a great job in Yinjiang!"
