Chapter 704: Shuofang has changed its owner

However, Huangshan's order had just been issued, but no official was willing to move.

"Huh?" Huang Shan looked at the officials with a gloomy face and said in a deep voice: "Why don't you move? Is it because I didn't speak clearly, or because you were deaf and didn't hear clearly?"

The class leader immediately smiled and said, "Sir, Liu Ba is from the Liu family."

"I am still a member of the imperial court, or do you think the imperial court is inferior to the Liu family?" Huang Shan asked loudly.

The leader's expression changed and he immediately said: "I don't dare, I don't dare."

"Hmph, you don't dare to judge me. Don't think that we don't know that no one of you in this yamen, except me, is clean.

I don't want to argue with you for the time being. As long as no one is willing to correct you, I won't bother to care about you. As long as you haven't committed murder, arson, forced girls into prostitution and other heinous things, I will give you a way out.

As for those who have committed crimes, you can take the opportunity to escape before I discover your crimes.

If I catch you, I'll count you unlucky. If I don't, I'll count you lucky. I believe your wealth will allow you to live a stable life even in Chang'an.

However, if you don't listen to me now, or don't bring the person to me, then I will judge you."

The faces of the county government officials all changed, especially the squad leader, who suddenly had a ferocious look on his face.

"Sir, you are not going to give your brothers a way to survive." The squad leader said solemnly.

"The way you survive is to listen to me."

"Huh, I listen to you, we can only die." The squad leader said solemnly, "Brothers, since the county magistrate doesn't give us a way to survive, the worst we can do is quit."

"Yes, I quit. We quit." An official then said.

"We quit."

"We quit."

"..."

For a time, all the officials went on strike to protest, saying that they would not arrest Liu Ba.

The old man kneeling on the ground was frightened and said quickly: "I won't sue, sir, I won't sue anymore, I won't sue anymore, I won't sue anymore."

Huang Shan looked at his father-in-law with a smile and said: "My father-in-law, you don't have to be afraid. You can sue today, but I will definitely seek justice for you and let Liu Ba get the punishment he deserves."

"Thank you, sir. I have decided not to sue. I have decided not to sue." The old man still planned not to sue.

In fact, in the entire county government, only Huangshan was helping him, and the rest of the people were unwilling to help him.

Now that the county magistrate has become the target of public criticism, how could he be willing to help his own magistrate get into trouble, so he chose not to file a lawsuit.

"Haha..." the class leader laughed, "Sir, you can see that this old man refuses to sue, and it has nothing to do with us."

"A mere class leader is so arrogant." Li Er, who was hiding in the dark room, said angrily.

Cheng Chumo said: "Your Majesty, would you like me to send someone to arrest them all?"

Li Er waved his hand and said: "Let's take a look. I want to know if this Huangshan is really a capable person."

"I understand."

"You...good." Huangshan sneered, "Do you think it's still a few months ago?

At that time, you had a backer, so you could do whatever you wanted, and no one could control you.

You must know that it is not Liang Luoren who controls the military and political power of Shuofang now, but the Marquis of Lantian. In addition, you must also understand that the Shuofang of today is no longer the Shuofang of a few months ago.

Shuofang, which used to have only 6,000 households, now has 100,000 households. The five aristocratic families could intimidate Shuofang not long ago, but now if the five aristocratic families dare to have a bad idea, the Marquis of Lantian will destroy them.

You guys, I'll give you another chance to capture Liu Ba now."

The officers looked at each other one after another and began to talk. Finally, they all looked at the squad leader.

At this time, the squad leader was also in a dilemma. He from Huangshan really needed to think about it, because Shuofang had changed its owner. Although the five major families had people in military and political positions, they were all in major positions.

But after Liang Luoren left, he took some people with him, including some from the five major aristocratic families.

Although there are still many defenders in Shuofang controlled by the five great families, Li Feng has 80,000 troops in his hands, and they are also Turkic soldiers. After seeing them, the defenders of Shuofang did not dare to say anything nonsense.

"Sir, I was confused just now. I hope you won't be offended." The class leader relented.

Huangshan said: "So are you awake now?"

"Sober up, sober up. Thank you for your forgiveness, sir."

"Huh, now that you're awake, let's bring Liu Ba to our house and capture him." Huang Shan said solemnly.

"Yes, sir." said the squad leader. Then he turned around and waved his hand, "Brothers, follow me and catch Liu Ba."

The officials hesitated for a moment and then left the Yamen together with the squad leader.

After Huangshan saw them leaving the government office, he said to the kneeling old man: "Old man, don't worry, Liu Ba will send your daughter back soon. Just wait in the county government office for a while."

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." The old man said quickly.

Huang Shan ordered someone to bring a stool for the old man to sit on, and then he turned around and went to the dark room to see Li Er.

"I am here to see you, Your Majesty."

Li Er nodded and said, "No need to be polite, just stand up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Huang Shan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to ask you to borrow someone."

"Borrowing someone?" Li Er immediately understood what Huang Shan meant, "Do you think these officials will not arrest Liu Ba, so you want to send someone else to arrest Liu Ba?"

"Yes, but Wei Chen also wants to ask Your Majesty to follow those officials. Wei Chen is afraid that they will escape, and wants to make the people of Shuofang fully agree with me.

At the same time, giving Shuofang a good development environment requires a combination of firmness and softness. For some people, we need to use strong methods, such as these officials, Liu Ba of the Liu family, they need to be severely punished," Huang Shan said.

Li Er nodded and said: "I understand. Chumo sent people to follow this group of officials. If they show signs of escaping, they will be arrested immediately. If there is any resistance, they will be executed on the spot."

"Yes." Cheng Chu replied silently.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Han Huangshan responded.

…

After the officials followed the squad leader out of the county government office, someone couldn't help but ask: "Squad leader, are we really going to arrest Master Liu Ba?"

"Got your head." The squad leader scolded the officer who asked the question.

"Squad leader, since we are not going to arrest people, why do we have to admit it?" Another officer asked.

The squad leader glared at him fiercely and said in a deep voice: "You know what the heck, it's not us who have the final say in Shuofang now, it's Marquis Lantian. He has people, money, and soldiers. How can we possibly defeat him?"

So we have to escape, but before we escape, we can also ask the Liu family for travel expenses."
