Chapter 83 Does County Magistrate Wang want to kill me?

Wang Xiu led fifty officials and soldiers to the door of Yan Song's house.

Yan Song had already received the news and gathered more than two hundred clan members to guard the door and refused to open the door.

"Yan Song, open the door quickly." Wang Xiu stood outside the door and shouted loudly.

Yan Song stood just inside the door, with more than two hundred men from the clan behind him. He didn't say a word, didn't open the door, didn't answer a word, and just looked out through the crack in the door.

"Bump into the door."

After waiting for a moment, Wang Xiu suddenly shouted.

The officials behind them looked at each other, but no one dared to come forward and knock on the door.

Yan Song is the biggest powerful man in Huang County, and many of the officials brought by Wang Xiu are people with the surname Yan.

Others were also afraid of Yan Song and did not dare to offend him.

Wang Xiu found that no one dared to move, so he shouted sternly: "What are you doing standing here? Come up and knock the door open for me."

"Wang County Magistrate, this is Yan Song's home. If we have anything to do, we can discuss it with Yan Song carefully, and we won't go to the point of knocking on the door." The county clerk advised.

Coincidentally, the chief clerk's surname is also Yan, and he is from Yan Song's clan.

Wang Xiu's face was full of anger, he glared at Master Yan and said: "If Yan Song refuses to go out, he will have to knock on the door. Master Yan, if you are unwilling to knock on the door, let Yan Song come out."

Master Yan glanced at the main door of the Yan family and said hesitantly: "This... maybe Yan Song is not at home today."

"If he's not at home, there will always be someone at home." Wang Xiu suddenly pulled out his sword and shouted sternly at the officials, "Anyone who dares not to knock on the door today will be guilty of the same crime as Yan Song and will not be spared!"

The officials still stood and did not dare to move, but some people not named Yan had already grasped the hilts of their swords and were about to rush forward and knock on the door.

In fact, it is normal for them to have concerns.

Yan Song is the largest powerful man in Huang County, and the Yan surname is the largest clan in Huang County. Other clans cannot compete with him.

If Yan Song is angered now, once the county magistrate is transferred and replaced by a weak magistrate in the future, he may suffer Yan Song's revenge at that time.

"With me here, what do you have to fear! Yan Song's crime of seizing land and harming the people is unforgivable. If he is willing to come out and plead guilty now, he may be exempted from the death penalty. No matter how late, no one can save him!"

Wang Xiu said these words to the officials and to Yan Song who was hiding inside the door.

In fact, Wang Xiu knew that even if these officials refused to obey the order, he would not be able to enter the Yan family gate today and would not be able to kill Yan Song, but as soon as Liu Fujun arrived, Yan Song would undoubtedly die.

"Master Yan, you go up first, otherwise it will be a crime of disobedience. I will be the first to kill you!"

Wang Xiu pointed his sword at Master Yan and shouted.

Master Yan looked at the door of the Yan family and was hesitating. Wang Xiu raised his sword and was about to strike at him.

"Wait a minute."

At this time, there was a loud shout inside the door, and then the door opened, and dozens of men surnamed Yan rushed out from inside, all holding weapons in their hands, blocking Wang Xiu and others.

Yan Song walked out of the door and stood behind these men named Yan, and there were more than a hundred people behind him.

"Magistrate Wang, you don't need to bring so many people with you to come to me, right?" Yan Song asked, staring at Wang Xiu, with anger in his eyes.

"You have violated the law by taking someone's land. I am here today to take you back to question your crime. If you are willing to go back with me and plead guilty, you may be given a lighter punishment. If you resist again, your crime will be increased!"

Wang Xiu is not afraid of being powerful, so saying this has already given Yan Song a lot of face.

Yan Song laughed and said: "Hahaha, may I ask Magistrate Wang, what crime have I committed?"

"Is it possible that you took away 500 acres of land from eight families named Chen?" Wang Xiu asked angrily.

"So you are talking about the 500 acres of land. To be honest with County Magistrate Wang, these 500 acres of land were actually rented by my ancestors to the people surnamed Chen. However, my ancestors were kind-hearted and never collected the land rent. In today's world,

It’s difficult, my family has no surplus food, and can no longer rent the land to people named Chen for farming, so we take the land back. What’s the crime?”

After Yan Song finished speaking, he looked scornful, as if he didn't take Wang Xiu seriously.

Wang Xiu endured his anger and said: "As far as I know, your ancestors did donate two hundred acres of land to the Chen family for farming. But since it has been donated and so many years have passed, the land belongs to the Chen family. Moreover, your family

Our ancestors gave us 200 acres of land as a gift, but now you want to take away 500 acres of land. Isn’t this usurping someone’s land?”

"Hahaha," Yan Song laughed again, "Wang County Magistrate, can't you take back the things you sent out? Besides, the man surnamed Chen got two hundred acres of land for free. He has been farming for so many years, and now he should know

To repay a favor, we should return more fields, right?"

"Yan Song, if it weren't for the fact that your ancestors gave away farmland, I wouldn't have said so much to you today. If you immediately return all the occupied fields and pay for the treatment of those injured by you, then I can arrest you.

Just open up and forget the past, otherwise, you will only die!"

Wang Xiu wanted to give Yan Song a way to survive for the sake of his ancestor Yan Song's good deeds.

However, Yan Song regarded Wang Xiu's concession as weakness, thinking that the other party was just bluffing, and actually did not dare to do anything to him.

Moreover, when he ordered to knock on the door just now, the officials did not obey the order, which made Yan Song feel even more emboldened.

Another point is that Yan Song has never heard of what Wang Xiu did when he was the magistrate of Gaomi County and Jiaodong County in Beihai. If he knew, he would definitely not dare to resist like this now.

"Wang County Magistrate, the fields belong to my Yan family. There is no claim of usurping them, and it is impossible to return them. I am not afraid even if we sue the court."

"Are you really not afraid of death?"

Wang Xiu has reached the limit of his patience and does not want to say any more to the other party.

Yan Song saw the murderous intent in Wang Xiu's eyes and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, but he also thought that not only was he the most powerful person in Huang County, but his wife's family was also the Liu family of Mouping County.

The Mouping Liu family is a royal family member. Liu Chong once served as Sangong, Liu Dai served as governor of Yanzhou, and Liu Yao is now the shepherd of Yangzhou.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Yan Song does not take a county magistrate seriously.

"Does Magistrate Wang want to kill me?" Yan Song also stared at the other party with fierce eyes, "Even the former prefect Guanfu Jun would not dare to be rude when he saw me! Magistrate Wang, you probably don't know my wife

The family is the Liu family in Mouping, right? I might as well tell you that Liu Yangzhou is my wife’s brother.”

"Yes, Magistrate Wang, Yan Song's wife is a member of the Liu Yangzhou clan. The Mouping Liu family is not only a relative of the emperor, but Liu Zurong is also the third Duke..."

Chief Yan suddenly woke up and quickly introduced to Wang Xiu the background of Yan Song.

"Huh, so what, everyone breaks the law!" Wang Xiu pointed the sword in his hand at Yan Song and ordered sternly, "Get Yan Song!"

The officers and soldiers looked at the dozens of people guarding in front of Yan Song and did not dare to act rashly. They just held the handles of their swords and looked at each other. No one dared to take a step forward.

At this time, Yan Song didn't want to talk to Wang Xiu anymore, so he retreated into the door, let all the men named Yan who were guarding inside rush out to guard the door, and closed the door again.

Wang Xiu looked at the more than two hundred people guarding the gate, and these people all had weapons in their hands. He would definitely not be able to deal with people who dare not obey orders.

"Go to Liu Fujun quickly and tell him that I have borrowed five hundred troops from him to capture Yan Song."

Wang Xiu had no choice but to whisper to the trusted officials who were following him and ask him to borrow troops from Liu Bei.
