Longevity: I want to enjoy wealth and honor in the world
Chapter 38: Forcing the Dog to Jump Over the Wall
How did the county magistrate know that the government officials were doing something wrong? The county magistrate doesn't need to know, he knows which one is more important, the yamen servant or the immortal master. You can know that the person who is at fault must be the Yamen servant.
So it can only be the government officials who are making trouble and disobeying orders. No matter what the truth is, the result must be this.
"It's so lively. I heard that the gentry in the city gathered at the county government office, and the county magistrate personally sent someone to invite me. I wonder what is so important?" Feng Tianzong said with a smile.
If it weren't for the sake of giving face to the Great Xia Dynasty, he would have deliberately killed all these landlords and old wealth in one fell swoop. Although Liaoyuan is only a small city, including the nearby villages, towns, and farms, it has a population of 70,000 to 80,000.
The feeling of rapid improvement in strength fascinated him.
"To be honest, Master Feng, the world is in chaos now, especially the severe drought in northern Xinjiang and the rise of refugees, which has given many thieves and bandits opportunities.
Now our Liaoyuan City is not immune. The Zhou family in the city was exterminated. The gentry in the city felt the same way, so they came to the county to find out the truth.
Master Fengxian is a high-ranking disciple of the Puppet Sect, and his abilities are far beyond ordinary people. Therefore, the county wants to ask Master Fengxian to take action to find out the whereabouts of this group of thieves. "The county magistrate Wang Mingyuan said seriously.
"It's easy to say. Don't worry, county magistrate. This matter is obligatory. What's more, Zhou Cun, a descendant of the Zhou family, is still my disciple, and the Zhou family has paid a large amount of apprenticeship fees. I will definitely investigate this matter to the end no matter what, and give an explanation to the local gentry."
Feng Tianzong heard the sound of the string and knew its elegant meaning. When the county magistrate said this, he understood that the county magistrate did not want to pursue the matter of the Zhou family's extermination. Handing the case to him also clearly told him that the matter ended here. He is also willing to coexist peacefully with Feng Tianzong.
In fact, everyone present knew that the Zhou family's case was committed by Feng Tianzong. Now if he is asked to find the murderer, this case will become a headless case.
As soon as Feng Tianzong agreed, the county magistrate Wang Mingyuan suddenly showed a satisfied smile, and the atmosphere between the two quickly relaxed.
However, the gentry headed by the Li and Wang families were dissatisfied. A trembling old man, leaning on a cane, said angrily: "Your Excellency, you can slowly investigate the issue of exterminating the murderers in the Zhou family. But regarding the Zhou family's property issues, we need to give an explanation to our fellow villagers.
Everyone here has a distant or close relative relationship with the Zhou family. Not to mention that the mother-in-law of the Zhou family is still alive, the Zhou family also has three legitimate sons still alive, not to mention that the Zhou family also has a large number of collateral children.
Now, all the property of the Zhou family has been occupied by Feng Tianzong. This cannot be justified in any case, right? Where is the king's law? Where is the law of heaven? If the county magistrate cannot handle the matter impartially, I will risk my life and go to the capital city to seek justice. "
Feng Tianzong just watched quietly without saying any words to defend himself. The next step was the real test of his strength. What he said no longer mattered. Everyone here knows what the truth is.
But how to solve it requires hard power.
"Master Feng, you should also know that all the Zhou family's huge property is given to you as a disciple ceremony. This is not in line with common sense. Maybe it was the Zhou family's last resort at the time. Now the Zhou family is almost wiped out. Do you think it is right? Can you refund part of it?" The county magistrate still wants to make peace.
"Your Majesty, when Zhou Ren handed over the land deeds to me yesterday, he also gave me some letters. He also knew that this matter was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, so he left a few letters from the head of the Zhou family to you as evidence. You You can take a look." Feng Tianzong patted his storage bag, took out a letter and handed it to the county magistrate.
County Magistrate Zhou Mingyuan's face suddenly turned pale. Such a fatal thing actually fell into Feng Tianzong's hands. Reselling grain from warehouses to provide food for disaster relief is a serious crime that involves confiscating one's family and annihilating one's clan.
When the gentry rioted, the most they could do was to lose their official positions. They offended Feng Tianzong, confiscated his family and exterminated his clan. There was no need to consider which of the two evils was the lesser of two evils. The attitude of the county magistrate, who was hesitant and confused, suddenly changed and he said seriously: "This It is indeed a letter written by the head of the Zhou family, and these land deeds indeed belong to Master Feng. The evidence is there, and there is no way for others to question it. "
Feng Tianzong smiled slightly. The county magistrate represents the court. As long as the court does not pursue the matter, it means that the matter is already reasonable and legal.
If you play the bright side, these people have already lost. The next step is to play the dark side and fight for hard power. Feng Tianzong was very confident that he would win.
"Your Excellency, since this matter has been concluded, I will take my leave. When I return, I will definitely investigate the Zhou family's case to the bottom of it." Feng Tianzong said with a smile.
"Everyone, I'd like to say goodbye. I've already remembered you all, and I will inform you of the results after I find out what happened to the Zhou family." Feng Tianzong said, looking at the gentry.
He laughed loudly, turned around and left.
"Your Excellency, we have to take our leave." The head of the Li family said with a cold face.
Even though they knew there must be something wrong with the letter, there was nothing they could do if the county magistrate didn't show it to them. The group quickly left the county government office. The head of the Li family did not go home, but went directly to the Wang family.
"Master Li, we can't just let this matter go. Since the government can't count on it, then we don't rely on the government and we can solve it ourselves.
He's just an immortal master, but I don't believe he can withstand a powerful bow, crossbow, or armored halberd. After all, this Liaoyuan City belongs to our two families. There are 1,500 garrison troops in the city. You and I will each send out 200 armored guards to destroy Feng Tianzong in one battle. "The head of the Wang family said through gritted teeth.
"Okay, but let's make it clear that the fields that originally belonged to the Zhou family will be divided equally between you and me. As for the shops in the city, they can be distributed to other small families so that they can also contribute. If the matter is exposed and the government investigates, they can also be punished by law." The head of the Li family said cautiously.
"Okay, let's do as Brother Li said." The head of the Wang family said. The two quickly reached a cooperation.
While the gentry were calculating Feng Tianzong, Feng Tianzong was also silently calculating. He was now surrounded by enemies in the city. He was still anxious and his eating was too ugly.
"If I keep these guys, they will cause me trouble sooner or later. I might as well kill them. If I want to kill them, I can't let the government know that I did it. I need to find someone to take the blame first.
Well, the rebels are good. The rebels attacked the city, and after the city was broken, all the gentry in the city were slaughtered by the rebels. Then Master Feng stood up to save the city from collapse, drove away the rebels, and then paid for disaster relief and bought all the land from the government.
This script is good. It's very reasonable."
