I'm really not the carpenter emperor

……

Yan Zibin is counting the money in the back office, and there are 200 taels.

This is his last lawsuit, helping a local squire swallow up the land from a farmer's family.

He can receive at least three or five such lawsuits every month, and he has already made a lot of money.

Yan Zibin didn't want to come out at all, but the other party was a frontier army commander after all, so it didn't make sense if he didn't come out to meet him.

But after all, the gentlemen are noble and the martial arts are inferior. Although the two are equal in official ranks, and Li Hongji has military merits, his status and status are completely different.

When we meet each other, we still have to respectfully address him as "Master Fu Zun".

When Yan Zibin came out, he raised his eyelids to look at people, to show his contempt for ordinary warriors.

"It's you?"

Seeing who it was, he laughed even more and said:

"Didn't you die in the Ningxia army? Han Jin'er's new man came to my county government to ask for compensation a while ago."

This is blatant sarcasm. Liu Zongmin and Li Guo are already angry, but after all, they are in the county government court, and they have not acted yet.

Li Hongji was the same, but without changing his face, he said: "This is the reason why I came to find Master Fu Zun!"

"Gai Hu had an affair with Han Jin'er first, faked that I died in battle in Ningxia, and cheated to get the pension later. According to the court law, how should I deal with it?"

"You are the county magistrate, so I don't need to say more."

Chapter 575 This man is protected by Jin Yiwei

"Just because of you, you are also qualified to teach the county how to do things?"

Yan Zibin sneered: "Li Hongji, don't think that just because you have made some military exploits, you will be able to raise your tail to the sky."

"In the eyes of this county, you are still the same as before!"

Liu Zongmin was straightforward, stepped forward and said:

"You dog official, it's you, who took money from the Zheng family and helped them swallow the old man Pei's house."

"People are doing it, and the sky is watching. If you act like this, you are not afraid of being punished by God!"

Li Hongji did not speak this time, but stood still and listened.

"You don't want to be bloody." Yan Zibin didn't panic at all, and even laughed, "This county has been in politics in Mizhi for many years. Although it is not very eye-catching, its political achievements are quite good."

"Just by you, you want to bring down this county? You don't even look in the mirror!"

"Young Master Zheng fell in love with Pei Laosan's girl. It was a beautiful thing, but it has become such a trouble. When this matter is brought up, even I feel sorry for it!"

Liu Zongmin stepped forward and scolded angrily: "You are still not human!"

"The three members of Mr. Pei's family are rare and good people in Mizhi County. Don't you feel a little guilty for killing their whole family?"

Yan Zibin sat back and said:

"Pei Laosan is doing it on his own. He insists on going against the local big family. There is nothing the county can do to help him!"

"As far as this is concerned, this county has no intention of exchanging words with ordinary warriors like you! Li Hongji, you are throwing yourself into a trap by coming to my lobby today."

"Come on, lock—"

The two guards were shocked and hurried forward with handcuffs.

Li Guo immediately went up to protect him, looked around, and shouted:

"My uncle is the commander-in-chief of the commander-in-chief Wang Rujin of Ningxia. He has no evidence and no evidence. How can he arrest people casually?"

"Yan Zibin, you dog official! Even if you cover the sky with one hand in Mizhi County and offend Marshal Wang, you won't look good!"

After hearing Wang Rujin's name, Yan Zibin hesitated again and again.

In the final analysis, he is just a magistrate of a locality. Although the man is noble and the military is cheap, Wang Rujin is the commander-in-chief of the nine borders after all, and his rank is too disparate.

But if he really wants to talk about it, he is not afraid.

Although he is just a small county magistrate, the magistrate is familiar with him. Above the magistrate, there is a governor, civil servants and officials to protect each other, and each has a backer.

As long as Li Hongji was convicted, even the commander-in-chief couldn't interfere in political affairs.

He slapped the gavel and asked loudly:

"Li Hongji, the county has now found out that you forged news and instigated Gai Hu to defraud the court of compensation. You can plead guilty!"

Both Liu Zongmin and Li Guo were looking at Li Hongji, waiting for his decision, as if they would rush straight up if there was any movement ahead.

Li Hongji narrowed his eyes and tightly held the handle of the knife.

Watching the guards get the book marked in front of them, Li Hongji remembered the life in the barracks and the kindness of Sun Chuanting and Emperor Tianqi, so he sneered and knocked them down.

Then he turned his head and gave the anxious-looking two winks.

Seeing this, Li Guo and Liu Zongmin looked at each other, and they could see Li Hongji's intention to stop them, so they had to give up.

Li Hongji let go of the knife in his hand and sneered: "You didn't expect Gai Hu to be alive?"

"Gai Hu is not dead yet?" Yan Zibin's face turned pale from choking, "You didn't kill him directly?"

Li Hongji said flatly: "Originally, grandpa wanted to kill him directly, but he killed him with one knife, which is too cheap for him."

"Grandpa wanted to accept the court's laws and die a miserable death, but he didn't expect that there would be such a gentle scum like you in the county government!"

"The current emperor is a sage, and factory guards are all over the country. Are you not afraid of being discovered if you do this?"

Yan Zibin's eyes rolled wildly, feeling a little panicked in his heart.

It's not a day or two for Li Hongji's Liang Zi, and there is no room for maneuver in what he said today.

Even if he is released, there is no guarantee that the news will reach Wang Rujin. The latter will not wait for an opportunity to retaliate, so he can only go all the way to the dark and force him to be arrested.

Thinking of this, Yan Zibin wiped his sweat, waved his sleeves and said:

"Take it off!"

That night, Li Hongji, Liu Zongmin and Li Guo had already been taken to the government prison, but they did not resist.

The back hall of the county government.

Yan Zibin sat on the stool and told the master: "Just do it like this. The three of you, Li Hongji, will definitely die. Do you understand?"

The master nodded and bowed, and said with a smile:

"The county is honorable, as long as the notebook drawn by Li Hongji is sent to the magistrate's yamen, even Wang Rujin can't control it."

"Well, let's do it."

Watching the master leave, Yan Zibin frowned deeply.

With Li Hongji's previous temper, if he found out that Gai Hu and Han Jin'er had committed adultery, he would kill them both without hesitation.

Yan Zibin really didn't expect that now Li Hongji had such a disposition that even Gai Hu could resist killing him.

It's hard to do this...

At the same time, under the jurisdiction of Beizhen Fusi, Jinyiwei Supervision Office Si Yamen in Mizhi County.

"Send someone to ask!" Qianhu walked to the table and sat down, frowning and said:

"Li Hongji is the person whose superiors want us to strictly monitor. If something goes wrong, we can't afford it!"

Baihu nodded and said:

"My lord, the emissary said that His Majesty thinks highly of Li Hongji, and not long ago he was summoned to meet the saint in the Qianqing Palace."

"If there is an accident when we go back to our hometown to visit relatives, and His Majesty blames it, and we can't handle it, then we will be the ones who will suffer."

Qianhu also thought of the same reasoning, and said with a sneer:

"This Yan Zibin, who is corrupt and perverts the law on weekdays, helped the local rich to embezzle the farmer's fields and houses the day before yesterday. The debt has not been settled with him, but he jumped up."

"Ask what the higher-ups mean, whether Li Hongji will protect him or not, do you want to count Yan Zibin's general account this time!"

"Li Hongji can't make any mistakes until the orders from above come down. It's best to get him out of prison."

Baihu smiled and said: "My lord, don't worry, Yan Zibin dare not fight against the Superintendent, we have a lot of grounds for him."

Just do what you say, Baihu came to the county government overnight, showed his waist badge, and said: "Li Gui, the supervisory department, Baihu, I have a request to see the county magistrate!"

"What are the people from the Supervision Department looking for me for?" Yan Zibin was taken aback, quickly hid the money, got up and walked out of the back hall, and said with a smile:

"Li Baihu, come to see the county late at night, what's the matter?"

Li Gui sat down, looked at the layout of the courtroom, and said straight to the point:

"I heard that the county magistrate locked up Li Hongji, the general of the Ningxia army who was going back to his hometown to visit his relatives. I am here this time to ask the magistrate to release him."

Yan Zibin said: "This..."

"Why, is there a problem with the county magistrate?" Li Gui laughed.

"According to what I heard, the county lord handled a case for the local rich Zheng's family the day before yesterday. This case seems to have been handled quite well?"

Yan Zibin turned cold, "Are you threatening the county?"

Li Gui didn't show any good looks, he got up and left, saying as he walked:

"I just came to inform the county magistrate that Jin Yiwei has taken over the case of Li Hongji and Gai Hu."

"Any questions?"

Seeing that Yan Zibin was stunned and silent, Li Gui smiled and said:

"In that case, I won't stay any longer."

"Oh, by the way, in another half an hour, the Superintendent will come to the prison to arrest the person, and please let the county officials make a notice."

"If the government prison refuses to release people, the problem will be serious."

Watching Li Gui walk away, Yan Zibin sat down bitterly, brought the cooked duck to his mouth, and flew away.

What is the origin of this Li Hongji? He has been away for three years, and why is Jin Yiwei protecting him when he comes back?

Chapter 576

"Supervisor Sina!"

Looking at Li Gui, the Hundred Household Officer in front of him, the poor man guarding the prison seemed a little at a loss, but he also knew that Jin Yiwei couldn't afford to provoke him.

"This criminal will be handed over to the prefect's Yamen in Yan'an tomorrow. This... is not good..."

"What's wrong?" Li Gui looked at the guards in front of him with disdain, and said:

"Even if you are handed over to the magistrate's yamen, the supervisory department of Yan'an Mansion will go to arrest you, it's unnecessary!"

Hearing this, he almost turned pale.

It has to be said that Jin Yiwei is very powerful, even if the person who wants to be taken is sent to the magistrate's yamen, he can still be taken out.

These days, civil servants are not afraid of those vulgar military generals, but they are terribly afraid of those factory guards.

If something happens, it will be fatal.

The current factory guards say they want to arrest you, then they can arrest you. They don't need evidence at all. What they are best at is fabricating crimes.

"Will you let them go?" Li Gui looked at them lightly.

Although he didn't receive the intention of the county government, the poor man guarding the prison didn't dare to be an enemy of Jin Yiwei at all.

Even if Yan Zibin is not afraid, they still have to weigh it.

Now Jinyiwei has supervisory departments all over the country. If one of them is not dealt with, the future will be sad.

"Release, the important person of the supervisory department, how dare you not let go?" The poor man suddenly laughed, then turned around and shouted loudly:

"Didn't you hear that? Supervisor, go and bring those three criminals out!"

"That's right, against us, even your county venerable will not have any good fruit to eat."

Li Gui smiled in satisfaction, waved his hand, turned and left.

"Who are you and why are you saving me?"
