Four hundred and twentieth chapters silence

Lei Yuanyue got off the horse, stood next to the pile of corpses, and took a closer look.

When I looked up again, my eyes had completely changed, and I became like a beast that was extremely angry, reflecting a biting light.

Several prisoners guarding the door arrived at this time, shouting and shouting. Someone actually rushed forward and tried to pull Lei Yuan.

Li Zhen lifted the reins lightly, the war horses neighed and stood up, kicking their front hooves around, kicking them out about a foot away.

The other entourages drew their swords together, and waited for Lei Yuan to give him the order to wash the prison here.

No one expected to meet in such a scene. This was no longer a violation of orders, nor was it a rebellion. It was simply mocking the authority of the prefect of Yidu and humiliating the leader of the Lei clan of Lujiang!

Even Zhou Hu was furious. He personally led these people to the Inspector. Now it seems that he was personally leading these people into a dead end! He jumped off his horse, pushed away a prisoner, and grabbed the body of the prisoner's hand into his hand, and felt cold on his hand.

"How different is it to behave like rebellion?" Lei Yuan asked.

"It's helpless to do this. It's my order, and it's nothing to do with the jailers." Someone answered in the depths of the prison.

As the figure swayed, a tall and majestic official walked out and bowed to Lei Yuan. It was Guo Fu and Guo Huanzhi, who was highly valued by Lei Yuan.

After getting up, Guo Fu looked at the prison guards who were confronting their entourages or worried under the eaves on both sides and said in a deep voice: "It's Ming Mansion here. Don't move rashly!"

The jailers were so scared that they knelt on the ground when they thought they had dared to fight with the prefect of Yidu just now.

"You all retreat, there is nothing you have to do here!" Guo Fu said again.

Li Zhen scolded, "Everyone is kneeling! Those who act rashly will kill!"

The jailers looked at Li Zhen, Guo Fu, and then looked at Lei Yuan's expression, and finally they all knelt down.

Lei Yuan sighed: "Hengzhi, I didn't expect you to collude with Xianghao in Yidu."

The Lei family in Lujiang was not a local tyrant in Jingzhou. When they gained a foothold in Lexiang, they first used bloody means to eliminate a huge number of tyrants. When Lei Yuan became the prefect of Yidu, they were still vigilant against the local forces. It was fine to be at the level of the township and county, but none of the officials quoted when establishing the county government were locals in Yidu.

The county magistrate Xiang Lang was from Yicheng, Xiangyang, and Gongcao Huanshu was from Changsha. The county magistrate Guo Fu, who had the power to supervise the prefect to supervise the illegal investigation of various counties on behalf of the prefect, was from Yangdi, Yingchuan. He was stranded alone in Jingnan for many years and had no relatives around him.

The reason why Guo Fu was appointed as the supervisor was because he was familiar with the law and was completely unrestrained in Yidu, and his actions were not bound by the strong ruler and heroes. When Lei Yuan raised his troops to Sichuan, he often tried Guo Fu's talents. Later, the Jingzhou army entered Shu through the Xiajiang River, and Guo Fu was responsible for the coordination and docking of the post offices along the way and made great achievements.

Lei Yuan was very satisfied with this man and had already planned to recommend him to Xuande Gong. That's why he entrusted Yuan Ning to Guo Fu. He believed that Guo Fu must understand the importance of these people, and would definitely be able to understand the meaning of the prefect, and cooperate with the local heroes and right people in Yidu County.

But now it seems that Guo Fu is not in the same heart and virtue as the prefect.

"But it's too stupid to do this." Lei Yuan continued: "Do you think I will shrink from their deaths? Just because they bribed my supervisor and killed someone in my prison?"

Guo Fu said calmly: "The Ming Mansion has misunderstood. Although I am not talented, I was born in Yingchuan and have been wise in the law for generations. I have not been bribed by local tyrants like Wen and Deng. I was busy with the transportation support of the water and land routes of the Xiajiang River. I also asked Yuan Ning to find out what Wen did."

"Then why do these people die?"

Guo Fu sighed: "I originally wanted to kill Yuan Ning. But he was too smart and saw that something was wrong. He led his companions to try to resist. In desperation, he could only kill them all."

"This is a good reason." Lei Yuan sneered: "But why did you kill Yuan Ning?"

"Mingfu, Yuan Ning is so smart. He said a lot to me and figured out a lot of things that shouldn't be understood. If he was kept alive, there would inevitably be a struggle between several forces and stir up turmoil that affected Jingzhou."

"Haha..." Lei Yuan continued to sneer: "Interesting!"

He lowered his head and looked at Yuan Ning's desperate eyes.

Yuan Ning was a scholar with a good name. In a poor and bad place like Zigui County, he could support a scholar with a name. The family he came from must be an ordinary family, and there would be no problem to be a county official when he became an adult. But such a person would be detained for some crime and sentenced to imprisonment.

Even if Wen and Deng were in Zigui County, they were too bold to cover the sky.

Unless, behind Wen and Deng, there are commanders with much higher status.

During the day, next to the transport convoy, the servant leader knew that Lei Yuan had a very outstanding identity, but he still dared to claim to be something: he had contacts with the officials in Yidu County and the officials in the Muslim Mansion of Jingzhou. That was not boastful, it was true.

As a child of the Guo family in Yangdi, Yingchuan, he would be concerned about the forces behind him. He even believed that if Lei Yuan pursued this, he would cause turmoil in Jingzhou, so he would kill people before Lei Yuan arrived, but he would still kill a scholar and his companions.

What kind of character can have such a great influence?

"Is it a great Jingxiang clan? Or an important official under the lord?" Lei Yuan asked.

Guo Fu remained silent.

After a while, Lei Yuan asked again: "But I don't understand that it is just a place to mine carbon, how much money can you make in a year? No matter how rich the profit is, it is not worth using such fierce means... Why do you have to go to the county government's registered household Qimin, even the scholars are not spared? Isn't it easier to get some rewards with the lord?"

After a pause, he continued: "Even if you are eager to expand your scale and need more personnel, can't you ask the county government for help? It's okay to recruit barbarians through the power of the Hujing Barbarian Captain, or even directly search for people from the Baqin tribe from the deep mountains north of Zigui. Those barbarians don't need wages, just take care of two meals!"

Guo Fu still said nothing.

Lei Yuan narrowed his eyes and stared at Guo Fu.

After a long time, the steps outside the prison gate rumbling from far to near. After a while, hundreds of corps poured in from the open gate like a tide, quickly controlling every key point, and restraining every prisoner or servant present. There were also agile men holding strong bows and crossbows, standing on the roof and the top of the wall. More than a hundred pine open torches burned, illuminating the entire prison like daytime.

Han Zong, wearing armor, finally entered and bowed deeply to Lei Yuan: "Sect Master, I'm here."

Lei Yuan nodded: "Has Shen Zhen started to act?"

Han Zong said respectfully: "Shen Zhen brought five hundred people. Wen's house, caravan, fleet, and the iron field of Yidao City related to them were all sent to control it. They could not do anything, and even a single mosquito and fly could not fly away. With the order of the sect leader, we would torture them one by one."

Guo Fu's face changed. He didn't even know when Lei Yuan issued the order.

"Hengzhi, I guess when you killed Yuan Ning and others, you also sent someone to inform Wen's manager in Yidao. So Wen should have started to kill people to silence him. But it was useless, their actions could not be faster than me."

Lei Yuan said to Guo Fu: "Look, I'm not afraid of anything. No matter what Hengzhi does, no matter what Yuan Ning does, I will find a way to figure out the whole thing. I am the prefect of Yidu, and no one can touch the people under my rule at will."

As he said that, he pulled out the long sword from his waist, and the tip of the Senhan sword was down, leaning on the ground.

"In the past six months, I have been fighting in Yizhou, but in Yidu County, some people bullied the people with their power. Two thousand people were driven into slavery, and at least dozens of people were killed innocently. And you, Guo Hengzhi, killed people under my nose for some crap reasons..." Lei Yuan sneered: "Do you have any misunderstandings about my methods of acting Lei Xuzhi? Do you think this can stop me?"

Guo Fu said dejectedly: "The whole family of Zigui Wen is all idiots, and it's not worth mercy to die."
