The feudal lord is on Taobao every day

Thieves?Did Lin Yan encounter bandits along the way?The obedient words meant that there was more than one wave. Xie Jingan frowned immediately, and then looked Lin Yan up and down to make sure that he was not injured. Then he said in a low tone: "You said that they fell into the grass and turned into bandits. Is there something hidden? Have you been interrogated on the road?"

Xie Jingan's tone was neither salty nor dull, and his expression didn't fluctuate much. Lin Yan was more cautious about what Xie Jingan meant, "This subordinate is eager to return to Mozhou, and he doesn't dare to waste time on the way, so there is no interrogation .”

Xie Jing'an nodded, and didn't speak for a while, but he was concerned about this matter in his heart. After all, Lin Yan could say that his martial arts skills were quite high. Even if he was not Lin Yan's opponent, he would not be far behind.

And thanks to the TV dramas and movies he watched before crossing, Xie Jingan had already made up a lot of tragic and touching love-hate entanglements before he saw those bandits, but after all, he remembered his identity and endured it. Compassion flooded, and he said solemnly: "Since you feel that this matter is strange, then there may be other secrets. It just so happens that this king has some time now, so I will go to the first trial in person. If it is really persecuted as you said, then this king They must be given justice, and if it turns out that they are the ones to blame, then the king can only be convicted according to the law."

Xie Jing'an finished these few words in a dignified manner, and without caring about Lin Yan's expression, he immediately called the servants waiting outside the door, and asked Director Qin to bring some guards to bring the thieves to the flower hall. He also brought Lin Yan out of the study room, and because Lin Wan was a female family member, it was hard for her to show her face too much, so Xie Jingan asked his servants to lead her to the temporarily arranged residence to rest.

In the flower hall, Fang Zhong and a few brothers who fell into the grass together were pushed and pushed across the threshold of the flower hall by the guards. Before they could stand firm, they were kicked down between their legs, and a group of strong men stood up immediately. Unsteady, almost kneeling on the green brick floor.

Several strong men were about to struggle immediately, but Fang Zhong was a well-behaved person, and hurriedly stopped his brothers. Seeing that the group of strong men were kneeling honestly and had no intention of getting up, the guards put their knives into their sheaths and retreated a few step guard.

The guards looked fierce and fierce, holding the handles of their knives and slashing them at the command. If ordinary people would be frightened out of their wits, Fang Zhong and his brothers didn't realize it. At that time, he looked at the flower hall from the corner of his eye, and whispered while controlling the volume.

The one kneeling closest to Fang Zhong was a man with a beard and eyes as big as copper bells. He tried hard to keep his voice down, and said angrily, "Brother, what kind of heart do you think that brat has? Since we are not The opponent just killed us casually, why did he tie us up and take us into Prince Shun's mansion to suffer such humiliation, could it be that he is also the kind of treacherous person who used us to claim credit for King Shun?"

As soon as the man's voice fell, the other strong men suddenly became agitated. Fang Zhong saw that the guard who guarded them wanted to draw a knife and stepped forward, so he hurriedly reprimanded a few words. Not necessarily, although the little man has slender eyebrows and long eyes, he is born with a fierce look, but his eyes are clear and upright, unlike those other treacherous people, he deliberately took us into Shun Palace for his own purpose, maybe to see us With a good martial arts and a love of talent, he intends to recruit us."

Fang Zhong said with a thoughtful expression that seemed to be well-founded, but in fact he knew in his heart that this was just a prevarication to appease his brothers. The world's affairs are not small stories. Where did so many Qingtian masters come from? They are villains who are protected by officials. Most of them, otherwise they wouldn't have ended up in this field. The well-behaved city defenders didn't do it, but they fell into bandits and became notorious sinners.

Fang Zhong had many thoughts in his mind, when he saw the door of the flower hall was suddenly opened from the outside, and the thick curtain embroidered with beautiful patterns was lifted, and a handsome young man with a noble appearance stepped in first.

Fang Zhong knew that this was His Royal Highness Shun Wang, so he didn't dare to look more, so he knelt down and bowed his head, shouting that he had seen His Highness Shun Wang.

Xie Jingan has been here for so long, and he has already been forced to get used to the etiquette of this era. Hearing this shout, he walked by without looking sideways, and sat down on a chair covered with cushions, holding a teacup and calmly pouring a few The burly man looked him over carefully, only to find that he was happy and angry, and said indifferently: "Who is your surname, and where is your ancestral home? What did you do for a living in the past? Why did you become a bandit?"

These few questions from Xie Jingan seemed ordinary, but they sounded like thunder in Fang Zhong's ears, and his whole body couldn't help trembling because of the excitement. Your Highness, Fang Zhong, a sinner, was originally from Wangjia Village, Xiangyu County, Youzhou.

Xie Jingan knew that he hadn't finished talking, so he just held his teacup and waited quietly for the follow-up. Sure enough, Fang Zhong only paused for a moment, then continued with some sobs: "Before criminals become bandits, they have fathers and mothers. There is also a happy family of a bright young girl. Her biggest wish is to practice martial arts hard. One day she can join General Song's army and cut down a few more thieves to serve the court. She doesn't want her sister to grow bigger and bigger and attract Wang Fei. This kind of idle dandy covets people, uses their power to force others to take concubines and fails, and takes advantage of the offender's absence to beat and kill the offender's parents and rape his younger sister. Although her younger sister has a gentle temperament, she is a staunch person. On the same day, he hit a pillar and died, and the happy family of the criminals was ruined."

Fang Zhongyue became more excited as he spoke, he straightened up and said, "Then Wang Fei harmed my whole family, how can I let him continue to have fun, after the criminals rushed home, they should even find the county government to submit a paper of appeal, I thought it would be possible for my sister and a couple My parents begged for justice, they didn't want to be wronged and did not sue, but they were falsely accused of accusing the Wang family. The county magistrate wanted to arrest me and put me in prison. How could I die like this? Killed Wang Fei in anger, went up the mountain and fell into the grass for the bandits."

In the end, Fang Zhong had been in the army alone, and the seven-foot-tough man burst into tears, crying uncontrollably. Lin Yan sighed, his eyes full of sympathy, and the surrounding guards were also moved.

Even people like them who have seen many injustices are like this, let alone Xie Jingan who was born in a peaceful age.

Xie Jing'an had endured and endured so that he could not lose his composure in public, but his voice was a bit hoarse after all, and he asked the guards to remove the ropes that bound them, and made them stand up to speak again, and then said in a sad tone: "The grievances you complained to me are all in the hands of the king. Got it, don't worry, as long as you say that there is indeed such a thing, this king will definitely give you justice, if you speak nonsense, then this king will also handle it fairly."

Hearing that Xie Jingan wanted to thoroughly investigate this matter, Fang Zhong and his brothers who had just stood up immediately knelt down again, thanked Xie Jingan with tears in their eyes, and patted their chests to promise that there was no half a lie. He was struck by lightning from the sky, and there was no straw mat to wrap his body after death.

In this era that pays attention to reputation and peace in the soil, it is not the slightest bit of humility to make such a poisonous oath. After hearing this, Xie Jingan felt more inclined that Fang Zhong was telling the truth, so he did not delay. The retinue invited Wei Changshi.

Wei Changshi's residence in Mozhou was not far from the palace, and his subordinates went to pass on the news. Before Xie Jing'an finished a cup of tea, Wei Changshi stepped into the flower hall with a cold breath, took a few breaths, and stepped forward when his breathing calmed down. He saluted and said: "I have seen Your Highness, but I don't know why His Highness hastily summoned me?"

Xie Jing'an didn't answer him first, but pointed to Fang Zhong and asked him to repeat what he just said before looking at Wei Changshi and said: "This king's fiefdom has such lawless rich households, officials who eat vegetarian food, if it is not easy to live Rectification, how can we talk about governing the fiefdom? This king wants Wei Changshi to take Fang Zhong to Xiangyu County to investigate the matter, what does Wei Changshi think?"

Wei Changshi was straightforward by nature, and he restrained himself with the words and deeds of the great Confucians of the day. Now that he heard such appalling things happened in the fief that he assisted Xie Jingan to manage, his cheeks flushed with anger, and he said angrily: " There is no reason for this, there are such villains who disregard human life and turn black and white in the world. As the long history of His Highness's mansion, I should assist His Highness in governing the fiefdom. Such sensational cases are also part of my job. The minister also invites himself to go to Xiangyu County for a thorough investigation."

Wei Changshi had been by the original owner's side for many years, and he was the rigid-tempered speaker specially selected by the original owner's father to control him, so there was no doubt about his loyalty to Xie Jingan.

Xie Jing'an encouraged him a few more words, then sent those strong men and Lin Yan down for dinner, and sent the guards outside, leaving Wei Changshi alone to continue discussing the matter.

After the guards closed the door from the outside, and there was no one else in the flower hall, Xie Jingan looked at Wei Changshi, and said with deep meaning: "Wei Changshi must be careful when he goes north to Xiangyu County, and must thoroughly investigate this case. After the investigation, no matter who is involved, no favoritism is allowed, and everything must follow the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

Xie Jingan deliberately emphasized his tone. Although Wei Changshi was somewhat pedantic, he was not stupid, but he realized it after a while, looked at Xie Jingan and said hesitantly: "Your Highness, you want to use this case to make an example of others?"

Sure enough, talking to smart people is a pleasure, Xie Jingan nodded appreciatively, and said: "Wei Changshi is right, this king has exactly this intention, this king's fiefdom is remote, and it is a place of exile, fish and dragons are mixed, officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty There are very few people who are willing to come here in rotation, so the elected officials serve for many years. After serving for a long time, it is inevitable that some officials will be involved with the local rich families. This king believes that the case in Xiangyu County is not the first case. This is not the only case, this king intends to clean up the official atmosphere in the fief, but now that he has just arrived in the fief, it is a bit too hasty to start rectifying it, but he can't let them continue to exploit the local people, so killing chickens and monkeys is the only choice for this king."
