It was a Qianhu from the Yanzhou Guard who led the troops to come to the rescue. As for the commander, Zhao Fengchun, he had already left Fan County with 2,000 people yesterday morning and returned to Shouzhang County to continue transporting grain.

The laborers who participated in the riot, under the threat of the swords and guns of the Qiangwei soldiers, squatted in place and did not dare to move.

As an imperial envoy, Xiao Huai was tied up and threatened by refugees today. He lost all face. In addition, Zou Zhubo was forced to die, so he was filled with anger. However, thinking that there was a reason for the matter, he still fulfilled Xu Jin's promise and

These refugees were not held accountable for their crimes. However, the imperial court could not ignore the face. Therefore, all workers who participated in the trouble had their wages deducted as punishment, while those who did not participate in the trouble were given food as they were.

After Xiao Huai dealt with the troublemaking workers, he angrily led his people back to the city and went straight to the county granary. A dozen workers who took the lead in making noises were kidnapped and held behind the team by Jinyiwei Wuhuada. The one who was "stabbed" by Xu Jin's fire cannon

"Boss" was lying on a stretcher with his breath dying, and he didn't know if he could survive it.

When Xu Jin and others appeared on the streets of Fan County, the whole small county was boiling. The news that the imperial envoy had arrested the county magistrate Gou Fang spread like wildfire. The people in the city clapped their hands and cheered, and came to watch the excitement. Both sides of the street were crowded.

It's full of people.

"Hey, I heard that the imperial envoy is going to inspect the granary now. There is a good show. Who is doing the grain business in the city? I don't know that the man named Gou is stealing official grain."

"God has eyes, and he finally caught and released this official hamster rat!"

The people on both sides of the street were talking excitedly and loudly. Seeing the magistrate being guarded by the Jinyi Guards, some even threw rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves at him. This shows that this guy is not very popular at ordinary times.

Zhao Quan was among the people watching, with a gloomy look on his face. One hand was like an eagle's talon, clamping down on the thin monkey Qiu Fu beside him who was about to pounce out, while the mixed-race girl Xue Bingxin held down Qiu Fu's other shoulder.

"Let go, I want to save the second child!" Qiu Fu looked furious and roared like a beast.

Zhao Quan calmly whispered: "Skinny Monkey, if you rush out now, not only will you not be able to save anyone, but in the end you will even catch yourself, and it will expose all of us."

After hearing this, Qiu Fu calmed down slightly and stared anxiously at the injured worker being carried on a stretcher by Jin Yiwei.

Xue Bingxin patted Qiu Fu's shoulder and said in a low voice: "Brother Qiu, don't worry, we will find a way to rescue Qiu Er."

Qiu Fu helplessly loosened his clenched fists. It was said that the "prick head" who was shot down by Xu Jin was Qiu Fu's younger brother, named Qiu Gui. He was also an official disciple of the White Lotus Sect. He just joined the sect.

The time was a few years later than Qiu Fu.

"Do you know what happened to those guys caught by the Jin Yiwei?"

"I'm not sure. I heard that the workers on the embankment caused trouble today. These are probably the workers who were caught making trouble!"

"Tsk, tsk, these guys are really cowardly. They dare to cause trouble even though they know that the imperial envoy is present. If they fall into the hands of Jin Yiwei, they will lose their skin even if they die."

Several nearby people were talking in low voices, and suddenly a person who knew something about the situation intervened: "It is said that these guys took the lead in making trouble and forced Master Zou to die by caesarean section. Now he deserves to be caught by the Jin Yiwei, hehe.

, The guy on the stretcher was the most unlucky. He was caught by the Jin Yiwei and he dared to resist. Well, the youngest, Xu Qinxian, fired a blunderbuss and lost half his life on the spot."

Qiu Fu grabbed the civilian by the collar and asked in a ferocious voice, "Did the sour man named Xu beat him?"

The common man was dumbfounded with fright and said, "You...what do you want to do?"

Zhao Quan's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly poked Qiu Fu in the waist. Half of the latter's body was numb immediately. Zhao Quan put the commoner down and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm sorry.

My companion got drunk and acted like crazy. This is twenty cents, which I can use as an apology to my brother on behalf of my companion."

The commoner took the copper coins and ran away without looking back. As for whether the fierce and thin man was drunk, he did not dare to investigate. Guys with such strong hands are all practitioners, and these people in the world are not good.

Provoke it!

Zhao Quan glared at Qiu Fu with a stern expression and pulled him away from the street without any explanation to avoid being killed by this impulsive guy. Xue Bingxin hesitated for a moment and followed the flow of people towards the granary. Zhao Quan looked back at Xue Bingxin

His sharp eyebrows furrowed on his back, but he didn't stop her. Junior Sister Xue was calm and careful, and her martial arts skills were not weaker than his own, so he wasn't too worried.

Fan County's Changping Granary is located in the county government office. At this time, people gathered outside the granary to watch. Xiao Huai obviously intended to inspect the warehouse in full view, so he did not let anyone drive away the onlookers.

Soon, dozens of bags of grain were moved out of the warehouse. Jin Yiwei slashed open the sacks with his knife, and the sand inside burst out. It was shocking to see that all the dozens of bags of grain were filled with sand and gravel.

The people watching around screamed and cursed, shouting that the official Cang Shuoshu should be executed. Xiao Huai's face was ashen. These local officials were so brave that they even tried to hide the truth under the eyes of the imperial envoy.

The evidence was conclusive. As soon as Gouzhi County's feet went weak, he knelt down on the ground. The county magistrate read the scriptures and knelt down tremblingly, as if he were mourning a mourning heir. He secretly cursed the Lord Bo Zou Qian in his heart, this damn tuberculosis man.

There was newly shipped good food, so why were the spoiled food given to the workers? Isn’t this a source of harm? This matter could have been covered up smoothly!

In fact, Zou Qian did not intentionally distribute the spoiled grains to the workers. Although he himself was incorruptible, he adhered to the Confucian golden mean and turned a blind eye to the theft and sale of official grains by Gou Zhixian and others.

Yi Yan did not participate or report it. It was precisely because of this that Gouzhi County tolerated him continuing to sit in the position of chief executive.

Those spoiled grains were actually distributed to the workers by Zou Zhubo's subordinates on their own initiative. I thought that these poor people would not dare to do anything, but unexpectedly something happened. This is probably the saying that those who do no good will be punished by death.

Bar!

Eunuch Huang Jin looked at the mud on the ground, his face turned red and white. He had personally inspected the warehouse. Now that something like this happened today, it was undoubtedly a slap in the face!

"You bastard, how dare you deceive our family!" Huang Jin rushed forward and kicked Lai Xiancheng hard in the face. The latter screamed and fell to the ground with his lips bursting and blood spilling out of his mouth.

Despite this, Huang Jin did not calm down and continued to step on Lai Xian Cheng's head and face until Xu Jin stepped forward and pulled him away.

"Mr. Xu, our family is so angry that this bastard used these dirty tricks to deceive us. Our family has lost face to grandma's house." Huang Jin cursed angrily, feeling a little weak in his heart.

Huang Jin did check the warehouse that day and had it weighed, but he only stayed for half an hour before leaving with Prime Minister Lai County and went to a restaurant to have a drink, receiving a filial piety of ten taels of gold during the dinner.

After the eunuch was castrated, he no longer had that interest. His thoughts in this life are money and power, so most eunuchs like yellow and white things, and Huang Jin is no exception. However, this guy has just made his fortune from the dragon and is not as courageous.

Greedy, small amounts of gold and silver are welcome to anyone who comes.

Xiao Huai said in a deep voice: "Eunuch Huang, I ordered you to inspect the granary, but you just dealt with it hastily. Now that something like this has happened, I will report it truthfully when I return to the court. You cannot escape the responsibility of dereliction of duty.

"

Huang Jin suddenly looked at Xu Jin pitifully for help, like frost beating an eggplant.

Lao Xiao was furious now. Xu Jin naturally would not get into trouble at this time. He just pretended not to notice and turned his head to the other side as if nothing had happened. Suddenly he saw a familiar face among the people watching. It was the mixed-race girl Xue Bingxin.

When Xue Bingxin saw Xu Jin looking at her, she immediately turned around and disappeared into the crowd. Xu Jin frowned slightly, as he had sensitively caught a hint of hostility in the other person's eyes just now.

Xu Jin was a little confused. He had only met this woman twice, but there was nothing he could do to offend her. Back then, this woman helped me in the ruined temple.

Xiao Huai acted vigorously and resolutely, and immediately tried the case in the county government office. There were all witnesses and material evidence, and there was no room for denial by the county magistrate Gou and the magistrate Lai.

Soon, the facts of the case became clear. Gouzhi County and Lai County Magistrate took the initiative to confess that they had stolen and sold 6,000 taels of official grain and made a profit of nearly 7,000 taels. Immediately afterwards, many people at the scene came out to report other crimes in Gouzhi County, such as embezzlement.

Mintian, asking for money through birthday banquets, relatives bullying men and women, forcing girls into prostitution, etc...

Xiao Huai ordered on the spot that Gou Magistrate and Lai County Magistrate be deprived of their honors and be imprisoned. They will submit a letter and wait for the approval of the Ministry of Punishments before being executed. The Jinyi Guards immediately dispatched and ransacked the homes. This is what they are best at!

After dealing with the first and second leaders in Fan County, the next step was to deal with the complicit petty officials below. In the end, almost the entire county government office was cleaned up. The team leaders were arrested and nearly 60% of the government officials were arrested. It can be said that the entire government office was rotten to the core.
Chapter completed!
