"Take these people with you and go to the Shangdang County Magistrate's Office, and take the Baozheng with you as well."

"yes!"

"Let's go, could you please come with us to the magistrate's office."

"Officials, we are just common people, we don't know anything else." Zhu Wugui said.

"What are you afraid of!" Liu Zhenfang said, "We don't eat people!"

Baozheng said: "Shangguan, this New Year's Eve person..."

"You guys please cooperate."

Those few people didn't dare to forcefully shirk him, and Baozheng didn't even dare to mess around.

Before dark, we arrived at the magistrate's office in Shangdang County.

He Hui, the magistrate of Shangdang County, just left the yamen and was about to go home. When he saw Zhang Xun and a group of people stopped at the door of the yamen, he couldn't help but ask: "Who are you looking for?"

Liu Zhenfang said: "Your Excellency, are you He Hui, the magistrate of Shangdang County?"

"This is my official, you..."

"We are from the Tokyo Josu Provincial Academy." Liu Zhenfang took out his badge.

He Hui stared at the silver waist badge with wide eyes, and said in shock: "The superior officer came to the Shangdang, but the inferior officer failed to welcome him from a distance. It's rude, rude!"

"You're welcome, we'll tell you inside."

He Hui's mind was spinning rapidly.

He knew very well what level the Su Provincial Academy was at.

Each state capital has a Provincial Department, which specializes in managing the daily activities of local officials. It is said that it reports directly to His Majesty the Emperor and has great authority.

He Hui was really startled when the people from the Su Provincial Academy came suddenly.

He immediately said: "Shangguan has been tired from traveling and traveling. It's getting late now. Why don't you arrange accommodation first so that you can have a good rest."

"No need, go to the Yamen now."

"this……"

"has a problem?"

"No problem, sir, please come this way."

After entering the Yamen, Liu Zhenfang asked straight to the point: "Which trading company built the Shangdang Official Road last year?"

"this……"

"you do not know?"

"I... the official knows."

"Now someone is complaining that the trading company did not pay wages to the workers. You will call everyone involved in this matter, now."

"It's getting late now and it's still snowing outside..."

Zhang Xun slapped the table angrily and said in a deep voice: "Even if someone is going to attack you outside now, call me over!"

"Yes, yes! I will arrange someone right now!"

Not long after, He Hui came back and said, "I've gone to call someone."

"Where are the records in the Yamen?"

"I also sent someone to get it."

A thin stream of cold sweat broke out on He Hui's forehead.

Not long after, backup records and accounts were sent over.

"Gong Cao joins the army."

Li Wen, the Shangdang County worker who joined the army, came out and said, "The official is here."

"This man named Wang Chong is the owner of Weimin Commercial Company?"

"Yes."

"Where is his official investment letter?"

"Here." Li Wen handed over an official document.

It does contain detailed information, including why Wang Chong was chosen, and finally Li Wen’s signature and official seal.

"Wang Chong is a gentle man, has great righteousness, is willing to do charity, and has excellent moral character." Zhang Xun read this document as he looked at it.

"Yes, this Wang Chong is a well-known good man in this county." Li Wen added.

"Okay, I will wait for this famous good man." Zhang Xun was not in a hurry. He sat there and looked at these officials.

Zhang Xun knew very well what methods these corrupt officials had. After all, he had taken over many cases.

"If Wang Chong cannot arrive, I will ask you only!"

He Hui, Li Wen and others looked extremely sad.

Sure enough, the person who came after a while was not Wang Chong himself, but the steward of the Wang family.

The steward said: "The official Wang is ill, he..."

"I don't care whether he is sick or dead. Today I want to see him alive and his body alive!" Zhang Xun looked at He Hui and said, "If you can't see him, you, the county magistrate, don't do it tomorrow and go back to the capital." Go and apologize!"

He Hui immediately stood up and said: "Shangguan, I will go find someone in person now!"

After saying that, He Hui hurriedly walked out.

The night was getting dark, and He Hui entered the gate of Wang's house.

"Where are you royal officials?"

"Already rested."

"Scream it out!"

"Official Wang is sleeping now, no one can disturb him!"

"Fart! I am the county magistrate! Go and let him out!"

"yes!"

At this time, Wang Chong was in his room, playing games with three women. It might be too hot, and they didn't wear much clothes.

A voice came from outside: "Mr. Wang, Hezhi County is here and wants to see you."

Wang Chong screamed twice. He originally planned to take a pill, but he said very dissatisfiedly: "What is He doing here now?"

He put on his clothes impatiently and walked out.

When he saw He Hui, his face was already full of smiles: "He Zhixian, you come to my humble house so late, how wonderful it is! Please come this way!"

"The people coming are from the capital, so you sent a housekeeper over?"

"People from the capital are also human beings!"

"He's from Su Provincial Academy!"

Wang Chong's face became solemn: "Why are the people from Su Provincial Academy here?"

"The capital must have heard something!"

"Even that idiot Zhang Jiucheng doesn't know, how could those idiots in the capital know!"

"Don't forget, someone is going to file a complaint!"

Wang Chong said: "Don't forget, we have said hello at every level, they can't reach the capital!"

"But now people are here, and they have brought several villagers and a Baozheng with them."

Wang Chong's face was uncertain, and he said: "If I go there, won't I just fall into a trap?"

"Then what do you want? The imperial envoy is here. You have to know that once you escape, you will be guilty of guilt. Then the imperial court will issue a wanted order to arrest you!"

"I won't run away!" Wang Chong said with a smile, "Not only will I not run away, I will also cooperate with the imperial envoy to investigate the case."

He Hui flicked his cuffs and said, "Why don't you go and clean up quickly? Let's go to the Yamen with me!"

"Hezhi County, you go back first, I will come later."

"real?"

"Where can I run? As you said, if I run away, won't I plead guilty?"

"Okay! Don't keep the imperial envoy waiting too long." He Hui said, "I have already written to Xingzhou. Soon the Chief Secretary will know that as long as you don't plead guilty, someone will protect you."

"knew."

After He Hui left, Wang Chong went in and changed his clothes. There was a fierce light in his eyes.

"Go and inform Wang Laohu and those people, ask them to bring a hundred brothers, kill everyone in the yamen, and burn the yamen with a fire!"

"yes!"

"Let me see what evidence they have, and let me see who else in the capital dares to come and investigate!" Wang Chong sneered, "Also, write a letter to Xingzhou and say that if they dare to sell me, I will sell them all!"

In the middle of the night, a group of people suddenly arrived at the Shangdang County Yamen, and there were sounds of fighting and screams inside.

In the middle of the night, the government office caught fire.

It was already the eighteenth day of the first lunar month when Zhao Ning received the news that the Shangdang County Yamen was on fire.

"What! Someone died in Shangdang County?" Zhao Ning's face darkened, and there was already uncontrollable anger in his voice.

Nie Chang stood there in silence. Apparently, he was extremely angry.
