Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 767
"you……"

Zhao Yi's face was ashen, and he stared at Chen Chu: "Chen Chu, don't bully others too much."

"But your handle is in my hands. Let me tell you, Zhao Yi, that I, Chen Chu, are sure of you."

Chen Chu's voice was even more unscrupulous.

Outside the county yamen, some generals had already clenched their fists and said angrily, "My lord, why don't we take action?"

No matter what Zhao Yi did, he was Qin Feng's subordinate after all, and judging from the situation in Ninghai County, Zhao Yi did a good job when he was acting as the county magistrate. Such a person was actually threatened by Zhao Yi , Of course they couldn't stand it anymore.

But Qin Feng shook his head and stopped them: "No hurry, let's see what's going on first."

Qin Feng knew Zhao Yi's character, even when he turned into a bandit, he didn't do all kinds of evil like ordinary bandits, and he definitely wouldn't do anything shady in secret.

That being the case, maybe Zhao Yi has some unspeakable secrets.

But people's hearts are far away, who knows if Zhao Yi has a dark history, or even did bad things after he became a good man.

Of course he wanted to ask Zhao Yi for clarification before talking about anything else.

At the same time, Chen Chu laughed loudly, and said to Zhao Yi: "Young Master Zhao, I will give you another day."

"At noon tomorrow, prepare me 100 taels of silver. If I don't see the money, hum..."

He only spoke half of his words before he left the gate of the county government office.

Only Zhao Yi was left sitting in the county office with a dejected face.

"Zhao Yi, what happened?"

While Zhao Yi was still in a daze, someone suddenly walked in from outside the door, and the sound rang out, which also made Zhao Yi stunned.

He quickly raised his head, only to see clearly that it was Qin Feng who entered the door, looking at him with a smile.

Suddenly, Zhao Yi's eyes turned red, and tears welled up in his eyes.

It turns out that Qin Feng didn't go far, it seems that he must have heard their conversation.

But Qin Feng didn't mean to ask him, but it was more like a concern between friends.

Such trust is enough to move Zhao Yi.

"grown ups……"

"Okay, I won't say much else, why don't you tell me what's going on?"

Qin Feng continued to ask, and Zhao Yi finally told the ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that Ninghai County has always been very rich after Qin Feng laid a good foundation, which also made many people start to feel jealous of Ninghai County.

But Qin Feng's foundation is so good that it is almost impossible for other people to affect Ninghai County's political achievements.

It's just that the people who are jealous of Ninghai County are not only people from other surrounding counties, but also Zhao Yi's immediate boss.

This Chen Chu is the son of Shandong Governor Chen Zhizhou, no matter where he goes on weekdays, the local officials are very flattering to him.

This is also unavoidable, after all, if Chen Chu finds someone disliked and secretly speaks ill of Chen Zhizhou behind his back, then that person's official career can be said to be completely over.

But Zhao Yi was the only one who dismissed this. He used to be Ling Chong's subordinate, so naturally he had exactly the same thoughts as Ling Chong.

This is not an idea instilled by Ling Chong, but because he has the same thoughts as Ling Chong, so he can become Ling Chong's subordinate.

He dislikes all corrupt officials, let alone being oppressed by power.

But what he didn't expect was that Chen Chu suddenly found out from somewhere that Zhao Yi had been a bandit before.

After getting the news, he immediately caught Chen Chu's handle.

He immediately found Zhao Yi, and used this to threaten Zhao Yi, asking him to pay the money.

But although Ninghai County is rich, what Zhao Yi can get is Qin Feng's monthly salary, which is only a dozen taels of silver.

This amount of money is certainly not a small amount for ordinary people.

But for someone like Chen Chu, there was no way to satisfy his appetite.

More importantly, Zhao Yi had no intention of agreeing to Chen Chu at all.

This Ninghai County is the territory that Qin Feng has laid down, of course he can't just destroy it like this.

So he also rejected Chen Chu very righteously. Anyway, he was only an acting official, and the emperor knew about this at the time, so of course he had nothing to fear.

No matter how powerful Chen Chu is, if he doesn't have an official position, how can Chen Chu dismiss his official position?
But what Zhao Yi never expected was that after hearing Zhao Yi's answer, Chen Chu had no intention of dealing with Zhao Yi. Instead, he listed all the people under Ling Chong at that time.

These people are now living and working in peace and contentment in Ninghai County, and they have long been in good faith.

It's just...they did commit crimes in the past, and the purpose of Chen Chu's citing these examples was to use them as evidence to prove that these people in Ninghai County secretly colluded with bandits.

If this is the case, it means that the people in the entire Ninghai County will be charged with crimes.

At that time, Chen Chu can not only punish the people in Ninghai County, but also confiscate their money.

Of course, Chen Chu himself knew that it would be impractical to do so, so he just said this idea to threaten Zhao Yi.

This also caused Zhao Yi to fall into a tangle.

If he did not agree to Chen Chu, the entire Ninghai County would be in crisis.

If he agreed to Chen Chu, where would he have any money?

According to what Chen Chu said, he could ask the people in Ninghai County for money, and what he said was true.

Qin Feng's status in the hearts of the people in Ninghai County may not even be lower than that of the emperor.

And Zhao Yi was personally appointed by Qin Feng to act as an acting official. In this way, as long as Zhao Yi opened his mouth and found any excuse to ask the villagers to contribute, the people would definitely not refuse.

But what Zhao Yi knew was that as long as he started this, it would be impossible to stop.

If Zhao Yi threatened him once, he could still threaten him a second time and a third time...

Such a person is a devil who cannibalizes people without spitting out their bones, but the pressure Chen Chu put on him is really too great.

If I tell the folks about this matter, the folks will definitely be willing to stand on my side.

But that's not what Zhao Yi needs, because this incident itself is because of their entire cottage.

If the folks were on their side, it would be to let them suffer together with him because of the cottage. With Zhao Yi's character, he absolutely couldn't accept it.

After hearing what happened, Qin Feng also frowned at this moment. He didn't expect that Chen Chu would be so vicious, and he didn't intend to give the people of Ninghai County a chance to survive.

He also patted Zhao Yi's shoulder at this time, and his voice became much lower: "There is such a thing."

"But since I'm back, you don't need to worry about this matter. Just be yourself, and if Chen Chu dares to come tomorrow, you will do as I say."
