Chapter 95: Boldness

The palm that grabbed his arm was like an iron pincer. Gao Huan could not shake it at all.

With Gao Huan's strength in the late stage of Qi refining, he shrank his body but could not pull away even a single inch.

"boom"

The terrifying force came, and Gao Huan turned over involuntarily.

Wu Xin waved his arm, grabbed Gao Huan's burly body, lifted it up, and smashed it to the ground.

The solid wood case was broken several times, wine cups and dishes were scattered everywhere, and the ground was also smashed into a pit several feet deep.

Gao Huan's energy and blood surged for a moment, stars appeared in his eyes, he was dizzy, and even the accumulated energy was shaken away.

The whole place was shocked, nearly a thousand guests were on guard, and their guards and servants were closely guarding the place.

The guards and subordinates brought by Gao Huan immediately drew their swords and started to attack. Some of them trembled and were about to rush forward.

Hong Bo's body swayed, blocking the way, and the martial soul emerged from behind, and the power of the god-refining ancestor shocked the entire audience.

Another commander, Wu Lang, led dozens of Xinwu guards to quickly come out and block the banquet exit.

A foot stepped on Gao Huan's back, and with great strength, Gao Huan, who looked like a salted fish, had no strength to resist at all.

"Gao Huan, the lieutenant of Jurong County, has been an official for many years, preying on the common people, expropriating taxes and levies, colluding with bandits, and secretly collaborating with the rebels."

Wu Xin looked around at everyone present with sharp eyes, especially Gao Huan's guards and subordinates, and announced loudly. After a pause, he quickly continued:

"What's more important is that during this autumn harvest, County Lieutenant Gao Huan dared to embezzle autumn taxes and steal autumn grain. After careful investigation, it was found to be true and the evidence was conclusive. The crime is inexcusable."

"ah"

There was a burst of exclamation, and everyone present knew that Gao Huan was so domineering that he could cover the sky with one hand in Jurong County.

However, I didn't expect that Gao Huan would be so arrogant. He even dared to touch the autumn taxes and autumn grains. He was really audacious. His backstage, even the county prime minister Wang Shichong, didn't have the courage either.

Generally speaking, the tax collection tricks of officials from all parties are targeted at black households. No one dares to touch the registered population tax, which cannot withstand scrutiny and is easy to identify.

What no one noticed was that Jurong Dianshi's body trembled and he was shocked and looked at Wu Xin with his eyes bulging in disbelief.

In the afternoon, Dian Shicai accompanied the county magistrate to check the autumn taxes and autumn grain. After checking that they were correct, they would be shipped to the county town of Jiangdu in the near future.

Now, the county magistrate actually announced Gao Huan's crime in public and said that the evidence was "conclusive"

What does this mean?

Thinking of this, Dian Shi's face turned as white as paper, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

"etc"

A partial general turned pale, looked at Gao Huan in surprise and confusion, and bowed his hands respectfully: "Your Excellency, County Magistrate, is there any misunderstanding? Don't you, the County Magistrate, don't have the guts?"

"Whether he has such courage, you have worked with him for many years, and you should know better than this county."

Wu Xin was filled with murderous intent. He looked around at the people present and asked. He then added angrily: "False against Zhongliang, collude with thieves and bandits, steal and sell national grain, embezzle taxes, extort merchants, extort people, rape people's daughters, etc. There are too many to count. In this county, we must also

I really don’t know what Gao Xianwei wouldn’t dare to do.”

Including the general, no one said anything.

What Wu Xin said is not a secret in Jurong County, and everyone present naturally knows it.

However, I don’t know what Wu Xin meant. If Gao Huan was trying to tax black households, then it would be nothing. Many officials did this.

A middle-aged guard showed fear on his face and yelled anxiously: "I am the nephew of the county prime minister, and I work for the county prime minister. Even if you are guilty, it should be decided by the county prime minister. How dare you?"

"Gao Xianwei is doing things for the county magistrate. This matter was ordered by the county magistrate."

Wu Xin's eyes widened and he blurted out in disbelief.

The middle-aged guard's face changed drastically, and he quickly explained: "No."

"Chi"

Before he could finish speaking, blue light flashed.

Gao Huan's head separated from his body and rolled several meters away, with blood gushing out like a fountain.

"It is an unforgivable crime to frame Zhongliang, even my superiors dare to frame him"

Wu Xin slowly put away the Shadow Sword, said in a serious voice, and raised his hands in the direction of Jiangdu: "This county will report everything tonight to the county magistrate according to the facts."

"It's not like that." The middle-aged guard was shocked and shouted repeatedly as the end was approaching.

"These are witnesses, take them down"

Wu Xin was too lazy to listen to what he said and quickly gave instructions to the left and right. He also added: "If you resist, you will be treated as an ally and will be killed on the spot."

The Xinwu Guards, who had been prepared in advance, surged out like tigers and wolves.

The guards, officers, etc. wanted to resist, but after hearing what Wu Xin said, they hesitated and were tied up tightly by Xin Huwei, who sealed their holes and pulses.

The information is so shocking

It happened too suddenly

Everyone present was a little dizzy and a little unable to react.

Gao County Lieutenant, who had been proud of Jurong for many years, was beheaded by a sword without even resisting, even without a trial.

Is this new county magistrate confident, a coward, or has a strong sense of justice?

Even if what Wu Xin said was true, the county magistrate Wang Shichong could have spared him. If the county magistrate was a fair and honest man, Gao Huan could have been so arrogant for so long.

Wu Xin, isn't this asking for death? This is not the way to be an official.

While everyone was shocked, Wu Xin asked in a calm tone: "Where does Li Xian Cheng want to go?"

Li Zhihe, who was quietly retreating, froze, and with a blue face, he forced a smile that was uglier than crying, and responded in a trembling voice: "I'm going to go see if there is anything I can help you with at the banquet."

"Really? You don't have to bother the County Magistrate with these little things."

Wu Xin suddenly smiled and responded, and then asked: "Li Xiancheng and Gao Xianwei have worked together for many years. They should know these things about Gao Xianwei, right? Is what this county said true?"

"ah"

Li Zhihe's mouth opened wide, and his mind was racing. He nodded quickly and responded: "It's true, it's true. What your lord said is absolutely true. The subordinates have long disliked the county captain and have long wanted to report him."

"Where's the evidence?"

Wu Xin signaled to Xin Wuwei, walked slowly towards Li Zhihe, asked with a smile, and reminded: "Don't say that Li Xian Cheng has no evidence."

Li Zhihe's body trembled, and he was caught by Xinwu Guards without daring to resist. He quickly said with a flattering smile: "If there is any evidence, it is in Xiaguan's house. Xiaguan will take your Excellency to get it right away."

"Shua"

As soon as he finished speaking, another green light flashed through

Li Zhihe's head flew up, but he still had a flattering smile on his face

Blood spurts out like a fountain

Wu Xin, who was like lightning, slowly put the Shadow Sword back into its sheath, and said with a straight face: "There is evidence, and if we have worked together harmoniously for many years, then we are comrades who deserve death."

""

Everyone was dumbfounded, what kind of logic is this?

If you think about it carefully, it does make sense.

However, the more astute people are more alert and open-minded.

The two big figures who had been powerful in Jurong County for many years, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, were killed without any warning, and even the process was omitted.

More importantly, behind the county lieutenant stood the Jiangdu County Magistrate; behind the County Magistrate stood the Li family of Longxi

Jiangdu Juncheng is a matter of the future, and the shopkeeper of Didao Trading Company of the Li family in Longxi is here.

"It is really unfortunate for the country to have such a cancer in the Sui Dynasty. However, the cancer has been removed, so it is not important anymore. What is important is the future."

While everyone was suspicious, Wu Xin looked around and said sadly. Then he continued expressionlessly:

"The autumn tax payment date is almost here, but it has been taken advantage of by two evil villains. I need everyone here to help me. Let's talk about how to deal with this autumn tax event."
