Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

"With the words of the chief general, I can rest assured. You can rest first while I leave!" After hearing this, several soldiers breathed a sigh of relief and stood up to leave.

At this time, a rapid report sounded across the sky above the hall.

"Report!"

"Report to the Chief Manager, something bad happened. Fan Xin came to the door with a corpse!"

Seeing the panic on the guard's face, Qiu Shenji picked up the teacup and blew on it with an unhappy expression.

"After all, you are also an elite member of the Yingyang Guards. How unbecoming would you be to panic when something trivial happens to you!"

"Tell Manager Fan Xinben that you don't have time, and ask him to kneel and wait at the door."

Ziliu...

"Yes, this rock tea has a pure taste. It would be great if it was picked by virgin hands."

Qiu Shenji shook his head and said a few words of appreciation. When he opened his eyes, he found that the guard was still kneeling.

"Why are you kneeling down and not going to send a message?"

The guard's mouth twitched and he said with an embarrassed look: "General Manager Fan Xin didn't come alone. He also brought an army. Now we are surrounded!"

Pfft!

Qiu Shenji slumped down on the ground. He quickly stood up when he realized he was losing his temper and said with a trembling voice.

"How many troops did he bring?"

"More than eight hundred."

"Huh, luckily there aren't many of them." After recovering, Qiu Shenji wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and then became furious.

"Rebellion, rebellion! A mere seventh-grade county magistrate dares to surround the headquarters of this general manager. What is he doing!"

"Is there any more royal method?"

After serving as an official for several years, Qiu Shenji admitted that he had experienced the ups and downs of the officialdom. Regardless of whether he was a political opponent or an opponent, everyone acted in accordance with the rules despite intrigues.

Unlike Fan Xin, a ignorant young man who dared to lead an army to surround his boss's mansion when his temper got worse.

In so many years since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, this is the first time such a ridiculous thing has happened.

If he had known that Fan Xin would not act according to common sense, he would have stationed his troops in the city no matter what, instead of being blocked in the camp by others.

However, Qiu Shenji was not worried that Fan Xin would act recklessly. He was the anti-rebellion chief appointed by the imperial court. If he were to kill him, no one would survive.

Based on this, Qiu Shenji put on his official uniform and strode towards the camp gate. Dozens of guards in the yard drew their swords and followed him around.

In the middle of the doorway, a young man wearing a white shirt was holding a female body in his hands, standing in the rain.

This person is not Fan Xin or someone else.

Qiu Shenji stopped in front of him and said coldly with a gloomy face.

"Fan Xin, as a court official, you openly led troops to surround the manager's residence. What on earth are you going to do!"

Fan Xin looked at Qiu Shenji calmly and spoke word by word.

"You relied on your power to kill a decent woman. Please ask the chief manager to hand over the murderer!"

Qiu Shenji glanced at Xiao Fengxian's body casually, pretending not to know.

"Who is the murderer? Why don't I know about it?"

Fan Xin suppressed his anger and said: "Tieniu, come out and tell the chief manager whether it was the guards at Xingyuan who killed Xiao Fengxian!"

Tieniu stood timidly behind Fan Xin, looked at the guards in front of him, pointed at six of the stout soldiers and said.

"They were the ones who broke into Yanlai Tower last night and defiled Sister Fengxian, then broke her bones into pieces and hung her from the flagpole!"

Signaling Tieniu to retreat, Fan Xin stared at Qiu Shenji and said, "What else can the chief manager say this time? Do you need me to call a few more witnesses?"

Faced with a mountain of irrefutable testimony, Qiu Shenji knew he couldn't deny it, so he coughed.

"I didn't expect something like this to happen. How about giving her two ounces of money as compensation?" He took out two ounces of money and threw it on Xiao Fengxian's body.

In his opinion, it was a rare mercy for him, the dignified Qingping Road marching general manager, to be able to pay two ounces of money for compensation.

As long as Fan Xin understands the rules of officialdom, he should know how to accept a good deal.

However, what surprised him was that Fan Xin didn't even look at the two copper coins and said coldly.

"The lower official said, please ask the chief manager to hand over the murderer!"

Seeing that Fan Xin didn't know how to praise him, Qiu Shenji's face turned cold.

"What if I don't want to pay it?"

He didn't believe that Fan Xin really dared to lead troops to attack the marching camp, because that would mean destroying his own future.

Fan Xin looked at Qiu Shenji for a while, then stiffly pulled out his sword with his right hand, and at the same time, a chilling voice echoed through the carriage.

"According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, the marching general manager is temporarily set up for war. He can only dispatch troops and generals, but has no right to interfere with local judicial rights!"

"If the general manager insists on covering up the murderer, I will have no choice but to lead the troops and arrest you together!"

"If you don't believe it, you can try it!"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, eight hundred sergeants formed a fan shape to surround the camp, and opened their bows and crossbows to aim at the soldiers in the camp.

Seeing this scene, the guards all panicked. They never dreamed that this seventh-grade county magistrate could be so staunch.

I would rather not have an official career than seek justice for a brothel girl.

"What should we do, Chief Manager? Fan Xin seems to be determined to arrest him. If we don't hand him over, what will happen..." The deputy general swallowed his saliva and said in fear.

"Shut your crow mouth!" Qiu Shenji glared at his subordinates, looked at Fan Xin and said complexly.

"Fan Xin, are you really going to offend me for a brothel girl?"

Facing everyone's gaze, Fan Xin remained silent.

Seeing this, Qiu Shenji looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Okay, okay, I have been an official for several years, and today I have seen what it means to not be afraid of death!"

Finally, his smile faded and he gritted his teeth and said, "Come here, give Ma Wu and the others to Fan Xin and let him take them away!"

As soon as these words came out, several soldiers who had been so proud just now were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and begged the general manager for help.

But no matter how they shouted, Qiu Shenji remained indifferent.

Fan Xin glanced at Lin Tie, who led the people into the dressing room, escorted Ma Wu and others out, and pinned them to the ground one by one in front of the people in the city.

"Magistrate Fan, you can pronounce the sentence."

Fan Xin nodded solemnly, looking around at the people, and finally landed on a few murderous soldiers.

"You, as generals in the army, knowingly violated the law and killed the people of the Tang Dynasty. Your crime deserves death."

"Someone, chop it up!"

"Yes!"

The sergeants shouted, raised their swords and slashed at the suspect's neck.

A cold light flashed, blood sprayed out, and several heads rolled down in the rain in front of Xiao Fengxian's body.

"Miss Fengxian, I have killed the soldiers for you, you can rest in peace for now." Fan Xin murmured, looking at the pale and beautiful face in his arms.

The cold wind blew and the drizzle was silent.

After dealing with the murderer, Fan Xin walked up to Qiu Shenji and said calmly.

"The suspect has been executed. I will not disturb you anymore. Please take my leave!"

After saying that, he walked away in the latter's gloomy eyes.

Looking at the people clapping their hands in praise, Qiu Shenji clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

In all his life, he had never been humiliated in public like he was today.

I wish I could peel off Fan Xin's skin, convulse him, and cut him into pieces!

Just when he was about to explode, the sound of several fast horses suddenly came from the rain.

Call!

When he came closer, the man suddenly pulled the reins, turned twice in place and shouted loudly.

"The Empress Dowager has decreed that she will appoint the Commander-in-Chief of Qingping Road March as the Disposal Envoy of Bozhou. From the day she receives the decree, she will immediately take Li Chong to the capital for questioning!"

"Wushui County Magistrate Fan Xin will go together, there must be no mistake!"

"Envoy Qiu Chu?"

After coming back to his senses, Qiu Shenji asked tentatively: "You mean to take Fan Xin and Li Chong to the capital together?"

The envoy looked at him in surprise. For such a great contribution, of course the Empress Dowager would personally reward him and take him to the capital. What happened to Qiu Shenji?

But the messenger still said.

"That's right. After hearing about the incident in Bozhou, the Queen Mother specially named Fan Xin to be taken to the capital as soon as possible. Please hurry up and get ready and get on the road as soon as possible."

"Xiao Shude will meet you on the way and head to the capital together."

Chaoqiu Shenji cupped his fist, and the envoy turned around and disappeared into the rain.

Keep the imperial edict and Qiu Shenji said with a spring breeze on his face.

"Come here, arrest Fan Xin and Li Chong and take them to the capital in a prison car immediately!"

"Hmph, aren't you going against me? Let's see how you die this time!"
