The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 814 Robbed him

Zhao Yanxun glanced at the entrance of the village, and saw seven or eight guards clearing the way in front, and behind them were a dozen strong men marching with eight sliding poles.

In this not-so-wide country road, it is difficult for carriages and sedan chairs to pass, so the sliding pole carried by two people is more suitable for passing.

I saw a middle-aged man with a long beard on the sliding pole in front. This man was dressed in an official uniform, and he was not angry.

And behind him, there are middle-aged and elderly men in all kinds of Chinese clothes. These people are well-known country gentry nearby.

The magistrate came in person, and the gentry of these places wanted to accompany him, and at the same time, he could also see Hu Lizhen's embarrassment.

Behind these people, in addition to the guards, there are also dozens of male and female servants, carrying various things on their backs, so that the gentlemen can feel "home" when they are outside.

"They'll enjoy it!"

Zhao Yanxun's tone was low, and his expression was full of gloom, showing that he was not in a good mood.

"Let's hide behind, don't let them notice!"

"Yes!"

Although they are dressed in common clothes, but the image and temperament of the few of them are here, it is easy for people to see the clues.

But seeing the prefect and his party enter the arena, the guards in front separated the spectators so that they could enter the arena smoothly.

The sliding pole fell to the ground, and the magistrate flicked the sleeves of his official robe, and walked towards Hu Lizhen with angry eyes.

Arriving at the position far away from Hu Lizhen's battle, Gao Wenbai stopped in his tracks, and said in a cold tone, "County Hu Zhi, what are you doing?"

The immediate boss glared at him, but it didn't affect Hu Lizhen's mood at all. He replied calmly, "My lord, I'm here to investigate the case!"

"Investigate? What case?"

Hu Lizhen pointed at Wang Qing'an, and said, "This person falsely spread government orders, collected taxes from the people, and plundered their wealth!"

Glancing behind Hu Lizhen, Gao Wenbo immediately asked, "Is there such a thing?"

"Your Majesty, how dare a villain pass on an order from the government, those grains... should have been harvested!"

Hearing this, Hu Lizhen forced her to ask on the spot: "It should have been accepted, who asked you to accept it? What reason did you accept it?"

With Gao Wenbai present, Wang Qing'an became more courageous, and sarcastically said on the spot: "You little magistrate, how do you know the order of the government office and county government!"

Perhaps it was Yu Wang Qingan who shared the same hatred, and all the squires who came with Gao Wenbo laughed.

Unexpectedly, Hu Lizhen was not afraid at all, and asked sharply: "According to what you mean, it is the government office and the county government that asked you to collect the tax. Who asked you to collect it?"

"Yes……"

Seeing that Wang Qing'an was about to fall into the trap, Gao Wenbo said immediately: "Master Hu County, there must be a misunderstanding here, and Wang Yuanwai also has fame and fame, how can you treat him so slowly?"

"Hurry up and let him go!"

Hearing the magistrate's words, the officials of the county government did not deal with it in the slightest, and immediately responded: "Yes!"

Unexpectedly, Hu Lizhen suddenly turned around and scolded, "I'll see who dares!"

Not to mention, although this person is only a small county magistrate, his aura is not ordinary at this moment.

There is no other, only because Hu Lizhen is upright and has an indescribable aura of grandeur.

But the hesitation of the county government officer made Gao Wenbo feel ashamed, and he suddenly changed his face and said: "Hurry up and let him go!"

At this time, Hu Lizhen's stubborn temper also came up, and she immediately turned to Gao Wenbai: "Could it be that my lord wants to cover up criminals?"

Standing outside the crowd, seeing Hu Lizhen so tough, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help being surprised, he really didn't expect the little magistrate to be so courageous.

Zhao Yanxun said in a low voice: "This person's temperament is somewhat similar to Zhou Chengping's!"

Zhou Chengping is now the censor of Zuodu, and he has taken the top spot as an admonisher, and he is one of the top officials in the Jin Dynasty.

In the past few months of working in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Zhou Chengping has not been idle at all, and he has cracked down on many corrupt people.

"Hu Lizhen, you are presumptuous!"

"Your Excellency shields criminals like this, the lowly position can only be presumptuous!" Hu Lizhen did not give in.

The two stared at each other, they couldn't stop, and the scene was silent.

"Young master, do you want to help him?"

Zhao Yanxun said in a low voice, "Don't startle the snake!"

At this moment, he is worried about making troubles, which means that Zhao Yanxun is already thinking of handling a big case.

So many families were wiped out in the capital and the south, but the people below still didn't have a long memory. This forced Zhao Yanxun to continue killing people.

At this moment, he finally finally understood, the feelings of the Hongwu Emperor in his previous life, the death of these officials and gentry is really not a pity.

Besides, in the center of the scene, when the two officials were in a state of silence, Gao Wenbo laughed.

"Huzhi County, do you think you can turn the world upside down?"

"Gaofutai, there is always reason in this world. If the government office is not good, you can go to the chief secretary, but you can go to the governor's office... If it is really not possible, you can go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate if you are a lowly position!"

Hu Lizhen's words were no longer just "reasonable", but also a threat to Gao Wenbai.

If things get serious, according to the current emperor's temper, it will be a big deal... Gao Wenbai secretly thought.

Hu Lizhen wanted to burn everything, but Gao Wenbai didn't want to fight fiercely with him.

"Hu Zhixian, do you know... the consequences of doing this?" Gao Wenbai sneered.

Before Hu Lizhen could answer, Gao Wenbo asked again: "You are so disregarding of feelings and disregarding official rules, how many people do you know you will offend?"

"The collection of taxes is the order of the cabinet, and the supervision of the Ministry of Household Affairs is our national policy of the Jin Dynasty. You are not alone in disregarding the overall situation for the sake of gaining money!"

"My lord, I just want to ask you, does the imperial court ask poor people to pay taxes?"

Gao Wenbo didn't pay attention to Hu Lizhen, but swept around and said: "He wants to go his own way and find his own way out. I have my words first. If others are not afraid of death, they can follow him!"

Hu Lizhen is not afraid, but these people under him will be afraid. As long as these people are restrained, Hu Lizhen will be no different.

"Now the government has issued an order to release people!"

"Don't let it go!"

But now, Hu Lizhen can no longer restrain her subordinates, after all, people seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.

Next, Hu Lizhen could only watch helplessly as Wang Qingan was released by his subordinates.

Standing on the periphery, Zhao Yanxun could clearly feel the disappointment of the people around him at the moment.

Their disappointment was their disappointment with the government, and furthermore their disappointment with the imperial court, and their disappointment with him, the emperor.

There is no doubt that Zhao Yanxun is very angry at the moment, but right now is not the time for him to act.

At this point in the handling of the matter, Gao Wenbai and Hu Lizhen have already torn their skins, and now he has no intention of staying here for a long time.

Hu Lizhen wanted to make things worse, and then he had to contact his boss to shoot Hu Lizhen to death first.

With a cold snort, Gao Wenbai shook his sleeves and left, and Wang Qingan and other squires rushed to see him off immediately.

At the scene, Hu Lizhen's face was frosty, and he was resentful and powerless at the moment.

After a while, Gao Wenbai led his people away, and Wang Qing'an and other squires returned to the scene.

"Hu Zhixian, why do you say you are doing this? What's wrong with being an official and making money honestly?"

Then Hu Lizhen ignored him at all, but ordered: "Come here, return these grains to the people!"

"I'll see who dares!" Wang Qing'an said coldly.

The county government officials looked at me and I looked at you, but really no one made a move.

They were not afraid of Wang Qing'an, but the magistrate Gao Wenbo, who would dare to gamble with the lives of the whole family!
"If you don't move, I'll come!" Hu Lizhen scolded angrily.

"you!"

Hu Lizhen actually took off his official hat, rolled up his sleeves and carried a bag of grain in person, and then went to watch the people.

Wang Qing'an sneered and said, "I'll see who dares to take it!"

Just one sentence made the people avoid Wang Qing'an, and no one dared to take the food they dreamed of.

"This is your food, I will make the decision for you, take it home!"

Wang Qing'an was sneering, the officials of the county government looked at each other coldly, and the surrounding people were indifferent...

Seeing this situation, Zhao Yanxun felt sorry for the county magistrate.

"Young master, do you want to help him?"

"How to help him?"

"Beat up this Wang family, I see that he is really angry!"

Zhao Yanxun thought that Zhang Meng could think of a good way, but he didn't expect this guy to be so straightforward.

"That's good... in a while, you find a dozen people, pretend to be bandits, and rob the Wang family!"

Although there were only Zhang Meng and a few people following Zhao Yanxun, there were still hundreds of people scattered around, so it was easy to do this kind of thing.

"The minister takes orders!"
