The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

"There is no need to be too polite, but why did the three principals of your Miantani county government come here for my fiefdom? The county magistrate has already arrived, so you should go back and do your job properly. I will leave the fiefdom to the County Magistrate Zhang can deal with it."

Although Zhong Wen didn't understand why these people came here at this time, from what the county magistrate Zhang Zhi said just now, he also knew that Zhang Zhi belonged to Zheng Zhi.

As for whether the county magistrate and county lieutenant are, Zhong Wen is not sure yet, but he acted according to the county magistrate, so it took a long time for the county magistrate and county magistrate to come here. There must be some problems in coming here.

"The Marquis of Zhong County may not be aware of the matter of Tagou Village. County magistrate Zhang is not very clear about it. County magistrate Zhang has a lot of official duties, so I am basically busy with the affairs of Tagou Village. Therefore, this tower It would be more appropriate for me to handle the affairs of Gou Village."

The county magistrate Wang Lin looked at the current scene and heard what Zhong Wen said, so he explained it quickly, so that he could take over the job.

"There is no need to be so troublesome. The matter of my fiefdom will be handled by Zhang County Magistrate in the future. You all go back to your official duties. Besides, I am here. Is there any evil happening in my fief? Is the sword in my hand a branch?"

Zhong Wen felt a little displeased when he heard what the magistrate said.

I have already made my words so clear, are you still so short-sighted?Then he turned to the county lieutenant and lighted the sword in his hand to show that the county lieutenant didn't need to interfere.

Don't bother the two masters. In this era, it is the code of conduct. Zhong Wen may not have known this before, but after being in Chang'an for so long, he basically knows it all.

"This……"

After listening to Zhong Wen's words, the county magistrate Wang Lin really didn't know how to go on. This was obviously an insult.

However, he was thinking in his heart, doesn't the young magistrate in front of him know the rules in the officialdom?

Some things should not be left in the hands of others, otherwise, there will be troubles, not to mention, what the county lord said was a little too direct, which would make everyone unable to get down.

However, the county magistrate and the county lieutenant really didn't know that the county lord in front of them really didn't know the broken rules of the officialdom.

Not to mention that they are just a small county magistrate and magistrate.

To be honest, they didn't even have a chance to speak. How could two officials from the seventh rank talk to a county marquis from the third rank?There are quite a few levels to go here.

Although Zhong Wen has no real power, if Zhong Wen really wrote to the capital to replace these officials in Miantu County, Li Shimin, the current sage, would definitely agree.

"Okay, let's all go back, the county government has a lot of things to do, don't delay many things in the county government because of the small things of my fiefdom, go back!"

Zhong Wen spoke again, and said to those two.

The eviction order has already been issued, it depends on whether you can leave or not.

don't go?

Then you are fighting against a county lord. Do you really think that the county lord is a vegetarian?

They dare not, nor will they.

"The two lower officials are leaving. If the county lord has something to send, you can tell me to wait. The county lord will take care and leave."

Wang Lin and that Gu Yu hurriedly saluted, and after finishing speaking, they waved and left with the people they had brought.

Zhong Wen looked at their leaving backs, and then at the county magistrate Zhang Zhi who was looking towards him not far away.

"It seems that there is not a small gap between the few people who are talking about in the Miantu county government. There are four bosses, and now there are three. I don't know what will happen to the chief secretary?"

Zhong Wen didn't look at the county magistrate Zhang Zhi again, but at this moment, he was thinking about the matter in Miantu County Yamen.

Chapter 295 The Bully Eliminates the Villagers

After the county magistrate left, Zhang Zhi, the county magistrate, stopped paying attention and continued with his affairs.

As for the three Zhong Wen brothers and sisters, they seemed to be watching the excitement, watching how the government servants went about their investigation.

Of course, this investigation is only to find out the evil things about the people in that village.

The investigation continued, Zhong Wen didn't pay attention, but he was concerned about the safety of his little sister and cousin.

After all, during this investigation, there will inevitably be some people who are not reconciled, and might become violent, might catch Xiaohua or Shuangma, and might make Zhong Wen passive.

However, as the focus of the investigation was on the members of the Zheng Zengcheng family in that village, things went smoothly and no violence occurred.

However, there will definitely be complaints from the villagers.

But at this time, after the county magistrate Wang Lin and the others returned to Lizhou City, they went directly to the government office and replied to the governor behind them about their trip to Tagou Village.

"Stop this matter, let the county lord make troubles, there will always be times to beg us. What's more, being sealed up in Lizhou, you are not a big person in Chang'an, so don't worry."

The governor of Lizhou City has been in Lizhou City for several years.

In the past few years, it can be said that I have lived very proudly.

In the past, there was a huge family like the Zeng family, but now, there are foreign nobles coming in, and it has reached the peak during his tenure.

In a year or two, it is estimated that he will have to leave Lizhou and work elsewhere. After all, Lizhou is a lower state, and it cannot be compared with Zhongzhou or Upstate.

Lizhou is located in a remote area, so there is not enough oil and water. Moreover, there used to be Zeng's family, but now with the addition of other noble families, there is even less oil and water.

If you really want to go to Zhongzhou and Shangzhou, the oil and water will be much more lucrative than this Lizhou.

"Inspector, should we let it go like this? There must be something to do? Even if this new county lord has no power and power, but if it continues to be like this in the future, then what shall we do? We can't face the offense directly, right?"

Wei Guyu of Miantani County spoke bluntly to the governor.

"Think about it carefully, why did the imperial court award this young county marquis here? Isn't it good near Chang'an? Even going to the south of the Yangtze River is better than our Lizhou? Although there are rumors that this new The county marquis who came here is from our Lizhou Prefecture, but it is definitely impossible to come here."

The governor then said to those officials.

"Furthermore, our Lizhou Prefecture is located in a remote place, so it is extremely difficult to come up with a county marquis. Furthermore, the Marquis is either not a military general, or a member of some big family, so where is it my turn to get the Lizhou Prefecture?" , How capable is a county marquis who has been entrusted to our Lizhou? So, please feel at ease."

This governor is really stupid.

However, for Zhong Wen, the county marquis's award, it did come suddenly, this is one of them.

Moreover, Li Shimin issued two gag orders before and after.In addition, when the servants and the others came to Lizhou last time, the governor went to Chang'an to report on his duties, so he didn't know about Zhong Wen at all.

Furthermore, there were few people who spoke to them in the house, even the yamen who were sent to Longquan Village were basically Zheng Zhi's people.

Moreover, later, a gag order was emphatically issued, so those who could know about this matter basically kept silent, so that the people of the assassin's line did not know where the Xin County Marquis came from, and where he came from. where.

Although there are rumors in the market that this Xin County Marquis is from Tali Prefecture, there is no record in the files, let alone the imperial edict promulgated by the imperial court.

However, according to his analysis, it was normal.

The county marquis who can be entrusted to a small place like Lizhou is really not a person with great power if you really want to talk about it in detail.

The officials of Miantani County began to feel relieved after hearing what the governor said.

As long as their big backer, the governor, does not fall, then these petty officials will have nothing to worry about. Then, after saying something, they began to disperse.

At this time, Zheng Zhi in the government office, after learning about this, just smiled.

However, he began to give orders again, all those who knew about this matter, if anyone dared to spread any news about the award, they would definitely go to jail.

Even the rewards for Zhong Mugen and his wife were included together. Even the salary was not taken from the government office, but was distributed directly by the court.

Of course, this was also Li Shimin's so-called arrangement later on. As for this order, it was also directly delivered to Zheng Zhi's hands. After all, last time he was accompanied by Zheng Zhi all the way, and Zheng Zhi also knew Li Daoling well.

Speaking of which, Li Shimin's arrangement was not to prevent the governor from knowing, but to prevent the Taiyimen from knowing, otherwise, there would always be some news.

As for whether there will be any news leaked in the future, it's hard to say, there will be a lot of people talking, in short, there will definitely be.

Next, how to prevent such problems from appearing, it is estimated that Li Shimin and the others must have a certain plan, but it is Zhong Wen who seems to have forgotten this matter.

If the secret place of Longquan Temple is really spread by unintentional people, it will be difficult to say. Maybe at this time, people from the three major sects of Zhongnan Mountain have already begun to inquire about Zhong Wen and his whereabouts. .

It is said that the investigation of Tagou Village at this time has ended.

"It turns out that you, a villager, are more ruthless than anyone else. No wonder I dislike you as soon as I see you. A villager doing this for your sake is really a wolf-hearted thing."

Zhong Wen held a record that Miantani County Magistrate helped him investigate, and looking at the things on this record, he really wanted to kill all the people in the village of Tagou Village who were tied up like zongzi in front of him. Chopped.

As for the members of the Cunzheng family in Tagou Village, bullying the people is considered a trivial matter, and the people of their family still have several lives in their hands, which really makes Zhong Wen itch with hatred.

In terms of ruthlessness, Zhong Wen is really not as good as these people.

When Zhong Wen kills people, he only kills wicked people, but this once formed a line of people, even children are not spared, this is no longer a human being, this is an animal.

According to the investigation, this village official, Zeng Cheng, has some relationship with the original Zeng family. It can be said that he is a relative of the Zeng family, but it is just a little farther away.But with the collapse of the Zeng family, in the past year, he has finally started to be an honest person.

"Magistrate Zhang, how do you deal with these people? My suggestion is to kill them directly."

Zhong Wen looked at the county magistrate Bi Sheng in front of him, wondering how he would deal with these people.

"Mr. Zhongxian, although these people are heinous, as a county magistrate, I will naturally investigate and deal with them according to the law. Please rest assured, Mr. Zhongxian, these people will never escape."

Zhang Zhi looked at these people with anger in his eyes.

Although, this is not the first time he has seen such a thing, but in front of the county lord in front of him, he still needs to have an official appearance.

"Okay, then I will hand these people over to you. If any one escapes, I will ask you."

Zhong Wen didn't want to get too entangled in this matter. After all, these people still act according to the law. As a Taoist, it's really not easy for him to directly kill people and avenge those villagers.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, I will take the head of the item as a guarantee. If any of these people escape, I will come to see you."

Zhang Zhi assured Zhong Wen loudly.

Afterwards, Zhong Wen no longer cared about these people, and was escorted back to the county government by the government officials brought by Zhang Zhi.

At this time, Zhong Wen looked at all the villagers present and didn't know how to appease him.

"Xianhou, thank you for avenging my daughter. From now on, I, Luo Er, will be the county lord."

A man approached Zhong Wen, knelt down directly, kowtowed his head like pounding garlic, and shouted thanks to Zhong Wen, with tears in his mouth.

"County Marquis,..."

"..."

The rest of the people present, as long as the villagers whose families were oppressed by Zheng Zengcheng's family in that village, began to kneel down and shouted words of thanks to Zhong Wen.

"Everyone get up, this is my fief, from now on, you will also be the villagers on my fief, and in the future, no one will bully you again, get up."

Zhong Wen stretched out his hand to all the villagers, so that they could get up quickly and stop kneeling.

"Everyone, hurry up and go to the home of the former family and move out all the valuable things. Let me see how many things can be distributed to you."

Zhong Wen spoke again.

As soon as Zhong Wen's words fell, the villagers began to rush to the homes of the people who had formed a family in that village.

But at this time, Zhang Zhi, who was standing beside Zhong Wen, did not understand Zhong Wen's approach.

At least, he has never seen a county marquis choose such a style of doing things. Besides, the government servants under him have found a lot of money from the Zeng family, and the amount is at least two hundred guan.

As for food and so on, there are a lot of them. He basically has an idea of ​​how many other valuable things are in the house.

Although this money is not called money in the eyes of a county lord, it is above the fief of the county lord, and everything here belongs to his county lord.

Zhong Wen has money, and he has a lot of it.

Although the sum is only a few thousand coins, for Zhong Wen, the affairs of his fief are his own affairs.

As for the Zeng family's copper coins, they belonged to these villagers, and besides, he didn't think much of them.

As the villagers went to the homes of the Zeng family, everyone began to move things, whether it was food or copper coins, they were all moved out and placed in the open space in the village.

The time lasted for half an hour before it ended.

And the last one was a little child, holding a bundle of firewood in his hand, walked over tremblingly, and threw the small bundle of firewood in front of the open space.

The eyes of the three brothers and sister Zhong Wen twitched.

This kind of thing was something that Zhong Wen and the others often did when they were young, but now, it has become something for this house raid.

Copy home.

This is called plagiarism.

Not even a small bundle of firewood was spared.

"Magistrate Zhang, come and help me distribute all the things here to all the villagers present. Remember to be fair."

Zhong Wen looked at all the things in front of the open space, and he knew it in his heart, and then he gave instructions to County Magistrate Zhang on the side.

"Yes, Marquis Zhongxian."

Although County Magistrate Zhang was puzzled, he still clasped his fists in response.

On the other hand, the villagers at this time, when they heard such a news that fell from the sky, they immediately started talking with a bang.

They never thought that the county lord would distribute these things to them.

This is worth a lot of money, and there are two hundred copper coins, let alone the grain.

And right now, when it's time for the crops to fail, if these grains are really distributed to them, then they will be able to eat enough for the next few days.

"Thank you County Marquis, thank you County Marquis."
