"After Hong County Magistrate left, the tail of the Tantou Tan fox finally came out. Why did the Hong County Magistrate not listen to me? He insisted on saying that once the arresting head was caught, the five old fortunes would make trouble, and Qiguang County would be in chaos now. So that he can succeed as a villain."

Listening to the murmur of the middle-aged.

Zhang Feng also heard a bounty tip

'Bounty task: rescue Yang Yuanwen. '

'Current number of rings: 1'

Listen to the prompts.

Zhang Feng leaned on the seat of the carriage, knowing that the middle-aged man probably stood in the wrong team and was arrested by the altar.

Wait to go all the way.

It attracted the curious eyes of some passers-by outside the city, wondering why the head catcher was escorted.

Tantou lowered his head, led the way, and brought the carriage to the door of the dungeon where no one could enter.

It is also in the nearby [-]-meter street, and no pedestrians dare to approach the cell, making themselves uncomfortable.

"you"

The jailers on both sides were surprised when they saw the carriage approaching, and saw the once glorious Tantou being 'arrested'.

But don't wait for them to say anything, and don't wait for Zhang Er to say anything.

Zhang Feng got out of the car and took out his token, and said to the two of them, "I am the county magistrate of Qiguang County, leading the way. Call your warden again."

"Yes" the two hurriedly knelt down to salute, and immediately knew that it was the 'grand master' who had come!

Later, one got up and led the way.

Another person ran to a small courtyard outside the prison and called the warden to come over.

It didn't take half a minute.

Zhang Feng just walked into the dungeon and looked at the rows of cells in front of him.

Anxious footsteps sounded behind him, and a prison warden in government attire trot down the stairs and saluted Zhang Feng.

At the same time, the guards in the prison saw the head of the altar being brought in, and saw the warden bowing to Zhang Feng courteously while giving them winks.

They also reacted in an instant, saluted Zhang Feng together and said hello,

"I've seen adults!"

"Yeah." Zhang Feng nodded, and looked at the innermost cell a hundred meters away, "Who is this person?"

"He..." the warden heard Zhang Feng's question. After looking at the head of the altar that had fallen in Dongshan, he thought for a while before he realized his mind. ! This person is Yang Yuanwen"

Yang Yuanwen, a middle-aged official who came to Qiguang County ten years ago, was also a servant of the previous master, responsible for organizing the county government files and assisting in daily affairs.

There is also a widely circulated name for this kind of guest, called "Master".

It's a pity that after the former county magistrate was captured by monsters, Tan Butou put him in a prison in order to rectify his power.

As for how to convict.

Tan Butou was also thinking of a way to get some of his cronies to come and beat him, and to 'beat' him for a crime.

It's just that Zhang Fenglai took office in the past two days.

Tan Butou felt the crisis, and knew the importance of the matter, so he made arrangements with all his heart, killing Zhang Feng first.

The warden, on the other hand, belongs to the wall, no one can offend, only the detainees.

But who would have thought that the altar was defeated.

"It turned out to be a guest of the Hong County Magistrate's staff." Zhang Feng heard that this person was a master, and glanced at the warden and others, "A dignified master, a gentleman who studied sage books hard, why was he locked up here? "

The warden and the others didn't speak, they just knelt down in unison, and looked at Tan Butou again.

"Master Hui" the warden showed bitterness, "The subordinates are obeying orders"

Zhang Feng listened, saw his gaze, and heard what he meant: "Master Liu was arrested by the altar and put in prison, and he was only responsible for the detention."He can't help himself when a senior official crushes someone to death. '

Zhang Feng didn't care about him, but walked towards the prison cell under his anxious eyes.

The warden and others immediately got up and followed.

Zhang Er pressed the altar to catch the head and went there together.

Wait until you get to the inside.

Zhang Feng looked at the master in the prison.

He was lowering his head, still whispering what he said before.

It can be seen that he hasn't had a good rest for several days, and he is in a trance.

"Mr." Zhang Er stepped forward and called out to Zhang Feng amidst Zhang Feng's nod, "My lord is here to pick you up."

Master dazedly heard someone calling him again, he also regained his senses, looked outside the cell, heard the sound of "crash" unlocking, and saw Zhang Feng and others coming.

Available in the next moment.

All his eyes were focused on the Tan catcher outside the cell!

"Altar thief! You"

When the master saw the altar catcher, he didn't know where the strength came from, so he stood up with a frail body, dragged the iron chain under his feet, and rushed towards the altar catcher regardless of the tingling pain of his worn ankle !

Zhang Feng was afraid that the master would be too agitated and something would happen, but before he got angry, he let Zhang Eryi stop him a little bit, and then told him: "This man is corrupt and broke the law, colluding with bandits. I have already thrown him into prison. "

"You..." the master looked at Zhang Feng when he heard this, and asked inquiringly, "Are you the governor or?"

Zhang Feng said with a smile, "The county magistrate of Qiguang County."

Chapter 2 Who dares to refuse?

"My lord's lesson!" The master suddenly bowed excitedly, and finally waited for the county magistrate to come over, and removed a great harm for Qiguang County, which he had worked so hard for half his life!

It's just that when he got up, the mental pressure suddenly relaxed, so that he fell asleep.

"My lord" Zhang Er held his hands together and looked at Zhang Feng, wanting to ask if it is necessary to carry the master back so that the master can have a good night's sleep.

The dungeon is dark and dank, not a place for people to stay.

Especially in this season, if a literati like the master dares to stay for a year or so, even if the jailer doesn't beat him, he will be useless.

Zhang Feng turned his head to look at the warden with a fawning expression on his face.

"You go and get a clean quilt, a pot of charcoal, prepare breakfast for the husband in the morning, and then wash the clothes that the husband took off before, and send the husband to the government office the next day."

When Zhang Feng heard about the mission and the master, he not only wanted to rescue him, but also wanted him to take up his previous position as his staff.

Because the master has been in the town for ten years and has been handed over to the rich and powerful in the town for ten years, it must be helpful to him in some things.

For example, if the master is here, someone will handle the draft approval of the daily affairs.

You can save yourself a lot of effort.

But now, since the master is asleep, there is nothing to disturb the master's rest.

After that, lock the altar catcher in the dungeon.

Zhang Feng took people back to the county government office in the city.

According to my spiritual knowledge, there are two large courtyards behind the county government office, both of which are places for people to live.

On the south side of the courtyard, there are also cells for temporary detention of prisoners.

But my spiritual consciousness covers the entire Qiguang County, so I'm not afraid that the head of the altar in the north of the county will escape, or someone will rob the prison, so let's put him in the north of the county.

At this time, in front of the county government.

The arresting officers who were in contact with each other, when they heard Zhang Er's announcement and saw the badge and documents hanging around Zhang Feng's waist, they all bowed to Zhang Feng.

But they were also a little curious, wondering why the head catcher didn't come to greet him?

Just curious, they didn't think much about it.

It was all because the head-hunter's plan to kill the official was too 'terrible', and then the head-hunter only told the big boss.

Zhang Feng came directly to the backyard in their welcome. After temporarily arranging the residence of Zhang Er and others, he looked at the group of arresters who followed him and asked them to inform the five rich men in the city that they would be arrested tonight. Throw a dinner party.

Because I want to take root quickly, so that the rear will have no worries.

The best way is to find the local gentry and rich people, come over for a banquet, have a private meeting, and talk about the distribution of benefits.

It was also before that I heard my master murmuring that these five big riches could cause turmoil in Qiguang County.

So just in case, we must chat first, meet, discuss some conditions, make money with harmony, and protect the county together, don't let these local big chaebols do any small tricks overtly and secretly.

When the arresters heard the order, they went to various places in the county to find people without thinking too much.

After all, any county magistrate from outside had to chat with the local gentry.

This is related to whether their wallets will be "full", and also related to whether these squires will show mercy and come to the street to give out porridge when the people's harvest is not good.

But except for a few policemen who went to invite the rich.

Some people also go to restaurants and order delicious dishes.

Others went to Tan Butou's mansion with the intention of pleasing Tan Butou, but they were told that Tan Butou went out early this morning and never came back.

The news that he was imprisoned because of the arrest of the head of the altar has not yet spread.

But also in everyone's haste and their own thoughtful preparations.

Time passes.

At seven o'clock in the night, the banquet was prepared in the main hall of the government office's backyard.

A table of good dishes, all from the chef's craftsmanship.

There are also four bottles of old wine, all prepared to entertain the 'Shangguan'.

The five rich men were also trying to save face, or they had some purpose.

At around seven twenty at night.

They came together together, wanting to see what this new official from outside wanted to set fire to.

But when they came over, they saw Zhang Feng sitting alone at the front.

The maids closest to Zhang Feng were standing outside the hall, waiting for them.

Zhang Er and the others were also practicing in their respective houses, but Zhang Feng ordered them not to come over.

After all, this is in the county government. If something happens, it will be a real contempt for the imperial power and implicate the whole family.

"Your Excellency has been waiting for a long time." Seeing that the young county magistrate was the only one in the room, the five people walked in together with smiles, each wearing beautiful silk, with an attitude of overwhelming wealth.

Zhang Feng looked at them, and through the supplementary reports of the previous arrests, he also knew that they were in charge of all major businesses in the county, and that they were a veritable rich county with over a hundred family members.

Especially Sun Laocai among them.

He is in charge of the restaurant and horse business in the whole county, and he is also known as the "Lieutenant Sun!" '

In the vicinity of Qiguang County, the power and influence are unparalleled!

now.

The banquet begins.

The maid walked into the hall, filled everyone's wine, bowed back amidst Zhang Feng's nod, and closed the door behind her.

Sun Laocai didn't wait for the young magistrate to say anything, and said to Zhang Feng with the appearance of an old senior pointing out: "I know that the reason why your lord asked me to wait for the banquet this time should be about taxation. ?”

He said, with an expression of seeing through everything again, "It's just that I had a discussion with the magistrate of Hong County earlier. The government collects grain taxes from sixteen villages in the county. After the statistics are completed, I will distribute the grain in the grain depot. Thirty percent.

The [-]% is used for our operation and entertaining businessmen from other places.For the rest, we need to train the guards of the Fuzhong to guard our Qiguang County. "

"Since shopkeeper Sun mentioned the taxation first, then I will also talk about it." Zhang Feng nodded, "The operation is correct, and the maintenance of the city defense is also correct. But the meaning of the few is obviously to use the government's money to support a few people in the government. servant. This is wrong."

"Master Zhang, what do you mean?" Sun Laocai suddenly showed a puzzled expression, "Is the family guard in the mansion not from us in Qiguang County? And whenever it is time to chase down bandits, which time is it not us?" Contribute money and efforts?

My lord, you have to learn from it!

You are the parent officer of our Qiguang County, so you can't take sides!Fill your pockets! "

"Yeah." The veterans beside the table also nodded, looking like Zhang Feng didn't understand the rules, but wanted to corrupt the law instead.

"Shopkeeper Sun is eloquent." Zhang Feng sat up a little, "but it's also about bandits. I want to ask why in the past five years, the county has handed over bandits [-] times, but none of them has done anything good. And return?"
