Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 26
into the night.

Jiawu, Wang Long, and Sun Dabao took advantage of the night to return to the yamen.

Qin Feng called Jiawu and Steward Liu to his room.

"Why did you come back?"

Qin Feng frowned and asked.

"I'm injured. I really can't ride a horse for too long. It's getting dark. Can't I come back and rest for a night?"

Jiawu clutched his buttocks.

"Hmph! If the common people see that you are a fake soldier to suppress bandits, it will be in vain."

Qin Feng looked at Jiawu seriously, and after a while, he waved his hands and said, "Forget it, you just came back today, and I have something important to ask you two."

Steward Liu and Jiawu immediately pricked up their ears to hear what Qin Feng had to say.

"What is the size and number of bandit gangs that you have colluded with over the years? Who is the leader? Where is the nest?"

Qin Feng asked four questions in a row, making Jiawu and Steward Liu frown.

Jiawu is thoughtful, and Liu Butler is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

As soon as Qin Feng asked a question, he immediately became suspicious.

ask these?What's the meaning?Is it possible to leave them alone and do it alone?
The two looked at each other, understood, and replied in unison: "My lord, I have been communicating with the bandits over the years, and I only made appointments to a special place. The questions you asked will not be known to the villain..."

Qin Feng sneered in his heart, you two don't know, who else knows?

He said leisurely: "Don't worry, I just want to understand the situation so that I can get more donations from the people this year. I have a new plan."

"A new strategy?"

"Not bad!"

Qin Feng told the two about his "new strategy", except that he didn't say that he had already received money from the squire, it was basically an excuse to the restaurant.

"In order to ensure that the strategy is foolproof, I must know the strength of the bandits and make corresponding arrangements. Why don't you tell the truth about what you know?"

Qin Feng slammed the table and quietly released his official authority.

This official prestige seems to be a kind of aura, a kind of field. As long as it is within the influence of the official prestige, ordinary people will have a natural fear of Qin Feng.

Jiawu Shang used to be a master, and he was able to resist for a while, but Butler Liu's inner defense was broken in an instant, and he immediately confessed everything he knew.

"My lord, the bandits are not actually in the vicinity of our Ninghai County, but in Kunyu Mountain, there is a camp on the mountainside. It is the closest to Fu County, and it is a little closer to Leiden and Zhifu than our county."

"The bandit's leader is a villain named You Baoquan, who is highly skilled in martial arts and claims to have been a brave general in the army..."

"Now he has about one or two hundred bandits under his command, but he doesn't often go down the mountain to make trouble. It seems that he has similar fraudulent donation agreements with several other magistrates of the county government."

"As for the specific place in the mountain, every time the villain goes down the mountain, he will be blindfolded and taken into the camp by his men, so... I don't know."

Butler Liu quickly revealed everything he knew.

When Qin Feng heard it, hey, this bandit is quite unique, he doesn't go down the mountain to rob money, he only relies on colluding with corrupt officials.

Such things as "fraudulent donations" were obviously invented in the Jiawu period, but they were promoted to the counties by the bandits themselves.

The scourge was not limited to Ninghai County, but even the neighboring counties were all scourged.

No wonder it was said that the magistrate was cleared for three years and received a hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. It seems that there are not many officials in ancient times who are not greedy.

Knowing the situation of the bandits, Qin Feng pondered for a while and gave orders to the two.

"Early tomorrow morning, the two of you will set off to go to the bandit's camp, and discuss this plan with the bandit leader. Tell them to send a few people to our county to harass the people in three days and let the people know Bandits are powerful."

"Only in this way can we become famous as teachers, and the people will be more enthusiastic in donating money. Do you understand?"

Qin Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip inscrutablely: "The squires, I have already made it clear that after the bandits harass me, I will personally lead them to a mobilization meeting. This time, my goal Yes, ask the common people to donate at least... this amount!"

Qin Feng stretched out five fingers.

"Five hanging coins?"

"It's five taels of silver!"

Jia Wu and Steward Liu were immediately dumbfounded, thinking that after all, the county government became greedy, much worse than them.

Five taels of silver, this is the half-life savings of some people's families!
After a simple calculation, Jiawu exclaimed: "Then the donation for this bandit suppression will be... more than 20 taels?"

The corner of Qin Feng's mouth curled up, and he said with a smile: "Not bad."

"Therefore, no matter what, the two of you have to explain clearly to the Bandits if you talk about your own tongue, understand?"

"Don't worry, my lord, the two of us will definitely do it!"

After the two expressed their views, Qin Feng told them to leave, but Qin Feng didn't go to bed, but called Wang Long, Zhao Yi, and Sun Dabao, three yamen servants whom he trusted, to his side.

"Listen up, you three. Tomorrow, after Jiawu and Steward Liu go up the mountain, I'm going to take a long trip. Before I leave, I have something to tell you, the three of you, come here with your ears..."

"Yes……"

The three immediately surrounded them, Qin Feng whispered to them, and asked, "Do you understand everything?"

The expressions of the three yamen servants were very surprised, very surprised.

"My lord, I heard you right, you want us to..."

"You heard me right, just do it, I must have something to say if I want you to do this."

Qin Feng slightly revealed his official authority, and an invisible coercion enveloped the three of them, so that the three of them no longer dared to have any doubts.

"I'll wait to understand."

"Very well, let's all go down."

Qin Feng sent them away from his room.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Qin Feng asked someone to wake up Jiawu and Steward Liu, and before dawn, he left the county government office and went to the bandit's den.

Qin Feng himself, after they walked away, packed up his luggage, rode on a tall horse, and went out lightly.

Qin Feng's trip this time is to borrow troops.

His borrowing of soldiers was not just a formality, but a real need to borrow some soldiers.

Since these bandits are real, they will pose a threat to Ninghai County sooner or later.

Qin Feng never thought of really cooperating with the bandits, nor did he think of letting Jiawu go, Liu Steward only stayed in doing evil.

First of all, Qin Feng was born under the red flag and grew up in the new era. He hates things like oppressing the people and cheating money.

Secondly, even if he travels back to ancient times and wants to be a corrupt official, that’s not acceptable, because the system in his body seems to have a sense of justice, and if he tries a case wrongly, he will be wiped out. If he becomes a corrupt official...

This time he intends to take advantage of the "suppression of bandits and fraudulent donations" to use his tricks to catch Jiawu, Steward Liu, and the gentry in the county who have been oppressing the people for a long time!
As for the matter of borrowing soldiers, Jiawu may not be able to do it, but he, Qin Feng, can!
