"Zhang Song?" Fan Xin frowned slightly: "Isn't this guy sent to Dali Temple by my officer and back again?"

Zheng Yichen shook his head and sighed: "Forget it. After Zhang Song was taken away, he recognized Wu Shangshu as his godfather. Not only was he not convicted, but he was promoted to the county magistrate by two levels."

"Why don't we increase taxes by 30% as soon as we take office? If the people didn't agree, they would go to Zhang Song and he would hang him on the flagpole and beat him violently."

"Even I was demoted from the position of Yi Cheng to cook because of you."

Seeing Zheng Yicheng's face full of bitterness, Fan Xin patted his shoulder and comforted him.

"Don't worry, you will be reinstated in three days at most!"

"As long as I'm here, Wushui County can't turn the world upside down!"

After saying that, he got on his horse, whipped his whip and ran towards the city. When he was in office, he always collected less taxes for fear of increasing the burden on the people.

Zhang Song, a bitch, dares to increase taxes by 30% in one breath. Doesn't this force the people to rebel?

Zhang Huan and the other four looked at each other and rode up to follow him. They wanted to see how Fan Xin would handle the matter.

Soon the group arrived at the city. As they approached the county government, the crowd became more and more dense. Later, Fan Xin simply jumped off his horse and walked forward.

At this time, there was a scene of tragedy at the gate of the county government. Mr. Wu and others were beaten until their skin and flesh were torn, and they could barely breathe.

Several family members who couldn't bear it pushed the yamen servants away and came to the foot of the steps. They knelt on the ground with a thud, cupped their hands and begged.

"County Master, we can't fight. If we fight again, someone will die!"

"Yes, County Master, why don't we go back to borrow grain and pay taxes?"

Zhang Song sat at the wine table and slowly ate smoked chicken. He glanced at a few gray-haired old women and sneered.

"In the past, when Fan Xin was here, he kept talking about reducing the burden on the people, but I think it is pure fart!"

"You bitches like you can only become honest if you are severely punished."

"You can save people if you want. Each person must first pay a ransom of two taels, and then they can go home after putting their fingerprints on the confession."

"What! Two thousand yuan of ransom?" The old women turned pale with fright when they heard that they had to pay two thousand yuan of money. They had worked hard for a year to save a few hundred cash. Where could they collect so much money? "

"County Lord, please show your noble hand and let us have a way to survive!"

"County Lord..."

"If I don't ask him, I would rather be beaten to death than pay a penny more." At some point, Mr. Wu woke up and stared at Zhang Song angrily.

"Yes, you can't give money to this corrupt official!" Several people hanging on the flagpole echoed loudly.

Seeing these unscrupulous people still speaking harshly when they were about to die, a flash of anger flashed in Zhang Song's eyes, and he said with murderous intent.

"Okay, it seems like you unscrupulous people are really not afraid of death, so I will help you!"

After finishing his words, he slapped the wine table hard.

"Come here, put these twelve thugs down and kill them on the spot!"

After giving the order, the whole place was in an uproar. No one expected that Zhang Song would kill someone in public if he disagreed.

Chief Sun hesitated and said, "Isn't this bad for the Ming Dynasty? The law of this dynasty states that people over the age of ninety cannot be punished."

"Besides, there are two children inside. If we kill them, I'm afraid it will attract a lot of attention..."

"Huh?" Zhang Song glanced at him.

Master Sun's expression changed, and he quickly changed his words: "It's a humble job to talk too much. You have the Secretary of War behind you, so it's no problem to kill a few unruly people."

Zhang Song nodded with satisfaction, stood up and walked to the steps, glanced at the twelve people kneeling on the ground, and sneered repeatedly.

"Immortal old man, this is what will happen if you go against me."

"Remember, there is only one piece of sky above Wushui County, and that is me, Zhang Song!"

"Execution!"

After giving the order, several government officials stepped forward and raised their swords at the necks of Mr. Wu and others.

Under the sun, the blade of the knife exuded bursts of cold light. Seeing this scene, many people squeezed forward desperately, shouting that they were wronged.

Just at the moment when the waist knife was about to fall, shouts suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"Governor Bo is here!"

The loud and clear voice lasted endlessly, echoing in the sky above the Yamen.

next moment.

The crowd parted, and a young man wearing coarse linen clothes and a sword on his back strode into the venue.

Seeing his appearance, everyone was stunned, and then burst into shocking cheers.

"Look! Fan Qingtian is back!"

"He was not punished by the court and came back safely!"

"Great, now we have a backbone!"

Zhang Song stood on the steps, looking at Fan Xin who was coming towards him. His face was very ugly, and his hands hidden in his sleeves were trembling.

Didn't Butler Wu say that Fan Xin's blood was splashed in the court? Why did he come back alive again?

No time to think too much, Zhang Song straightened his official uniform and forced out a smile.

"Congratulations to Fan Changshi for his safe promotion. It's really great to come back this time..."

However, before he could finish his words, Fan Xin kicked him to the ground.

"You're a bitch, I'll take care of you later!" Fan Xin glared at Zhang Song fiercely, and then passed him directly and came to Mr. Wu.

"Mr. Wu, are you okay?"

The old man opened his eyes and found that it was Fan Xin, with a hint of relief on his pale old face.

"Zhang Song said that you were punished by the imperial court. I don't believe it. How could a good official like you be punished? Ahem."

Seeing that the old man was seriously injured, Fan Xin turned around and said to several common people.

"You first carry the person to the medicine shop for treatment, and leave the rest to my officer."

"Young man understands." Several people were about to step forward to lift someone up, but Zhang Song suddenly stopped them loudly.

"Wait a minute! Zhang has been in the officialdom for many years, and I have never heard that the seventh-grade county magistrate can be promoted to a governor three times in a row."

"Fan Xin, how can you prove that you are the newly appointed governor of Bozhou wearing coarse linen clothes?"

When Zhang Song said this, he was secretly glad. Fortunately, he was smart, otherwise he would have been deceived by Fan Xin.

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was startled.

Yes, Governor Bo is a bigger official than the county magistrate. Not only does he support him, he must have at least a few guards.

Looking at Magistrate Fan again, he is dressed in rough clothes and does not look like a new official taking office.

Could it be that he made up a lie in desperation to save them? If so, it would be troublesome.

Feeling the worry in the eyes of the people, Fan Xin smiled slightly, turned around and said to Zhang Song.

"Since you want to see it, I will grant it to you!"

"Zhang Huan, Li Lang!"

"Yang Qing, Zhao Hu!"

"The general is here!"

As soon as the words fell, four big men in plain clothes rose into the air from the crowd and landed steadily in front of Fan Xin.

"Give Magistrate Zhang a long experience!"

"Yes!"

The four people shouted loudly and turned around to walk towards Zhang Song. The green bricks they passed along the way were broken into pieces.

In the dust, the four people untied their robes, revealing the flying bear uniforms underneath, and showed off their bright yellow waistbands.

"Open your dog eyes and see clearly, we are all of the Sixth Grade Qianniu Preparation!"

"I have been ordered by the current Queen Mother to escort Fan Changshi to his appointment. Don't you dare to stop your little bitch again!"
