Chapter 50

In front of the main entrance of the banker's mansion, two groups of people confronted each other like cockfighting. On one side were dozens of idle men from the city led by Zhuang Qiang, and on the other side were more than a dozen servants brought by Lin Lie.

Qiang suppressed his anger and Lin Lie said solemnly: "Zhuang Qiang, I have already made it clear. This is what the county master wants to hear. The county government wants to try the Zhuang Dianshi case, so he needs to go immediately..."

"Bah! It sounds nice. You want to take my brother to the head of a private revenge and put the charge on my elder brother. You want to take my elder brother to the county government. You are not qualified enough. When you go back, tell the new Wei County Magistrate that it is not his turn to Jiangcheng County to take his elder brother. If you want to see my elder brother, you will come here by yourself!"

"Rareless! Do you dare to insult the county master? Do you want to go to the county government with me? "Lin Lie's heart was furious and he suddenly stood up. He held the hilt of the sword on his waist and stepped forward, threatening: "I'll say the last time, if Zhuang Hong doesn't come out again, I'll bring people in and get people!"

"You are just arrogant!" With this silence, a man walked out of the door with a gloomy face. It was Zheng Gen. He looked forward and pointed at Lin Lie and scolded: "Lin Lie, you don't think about who protects you as the chief inspector. Now he actually wants to deal with Lord Zhuang, it's really ungrateful! Go back with me and stop interfering with this matter!" As he said that, he also wanted to pull Lin Lie.

But Lin Lie twisted himself away: "Father-in-law, my son-in-law is in office work, I'm sorry I can't obey the order!"

"You... are really hard-working. Let's see how I deal with you!" Seeing his reaction, Zheng Gen felt annoyed, so he raised his hand and slapped it.

In the past, Lin Lie respected him and did not dare to disobey him at all. But now this kid relied on finding a backer to contradict him like this. In addition to the previous incident, Zheng Dianli was suddenly unbalanced and started to take action regardless of the environment.

He thought this would definitely make a solid move, but he waved his palm to Lin Lie and grabbed it, and then met a pair of eyes that were lit by the faint fire. Zheng Gen was just an ordinary official and had no strength. Now that Lin Lie, who had been practicing martial arts for many years, could not even struggle. Half of his body was numb, and he even exclaimed: "You..."

"Father-in-law, I have been tolerant because you are an elder, but the national law is in place, so you can't make such a mess anymore. This is the order of the county magistrate, what does the county government do with you?" Lin Lie stared at him and said in a stern tone.

Such tone and expression suddenly made Zheng Gen's heart tremble suddenly, and he had never felt strange and fearful about this son-in-law who had married into the family. "You... I am a county magistrate, why is it not my business?"

"That was the past. Now you have been removed from the county government office. You are no longer an official in this county!" After saying this, Lin Lie pushed hard and pushed Zheng Gen, who was a little lost, and rushed to the side until he fell to the ground, but he could not come back to the senses from this amazing news.

Has he been dismissed? Why didn't he know at all? The new Wei County Magistrate really dared to do this, but because he didn't meet him before noon today, he was dismissed from his post. In a state of confusion, Zheng Gen had no time to stop Lin Lie from pressing forward.

Seeing that Lin Lie pushed Zheng Gen down, half of the knife was unsheathed, the constables behind him also raised the iron ruler and sticks in their hands. The rogues who blocked their way were also a little panicked and retreated one after another. The so-called rogues are just people who bully the weak and fear the strong, and pretend to be powerful, but they can't really fight against the government.

Not only them, but also Zhuang Qiang, who had just become so arrogant, was a little timid at this moment. After unconsciously taking two steps back, he shouted: "Who is the last one, are you afraid of the future if you don't leave any room for nothing?"

Lin Lie sneered disdainfully, seeing through his harsh and cowardly appearance. It turned out that Mr. Zhuang, who was looking high and no one dared to mess with, was also a brave bandit. As long as he was tough enough, he could not resist. At that moment, he continued to step forward, and the knife was completely pulled out by him, and he said, "Zhuang Qiang, I warn you again in the end. If you dare to stop me from taking someone, you will also take you down as a crime of accomplice! If you dare to resist, you will be killed or injured!"

Frightened by his words, he saw the shaky waist knife coming out of the sheath and was about to attack. Zhuang Qiang finally couldn't hold on anymore, retreating to the high threshold, his feet were tripped, and he almost fell into a mess. He trembled in his mouth: "You...you..."

"Second brother!" Suddenly, Zhuang Hong's calm voice came from behind, which made him who almost fell down again stabilize his body. Lin Lie, who was pressing up, also paused: "Zhuang Dianshi."

Zhuang Hong looked at Lin Lie in a green official robe and a short-winged black hat, and stared at Lin Lie with a demeanor: "Captain Lin is so domineering. Why didn't I see you so arrogant before?" As he said that, he sighed twice.

Zhuang Hong deserves to be a man who has always held great power. As soon as he showed up, he completely suppressed Lin Lie. Even if he had a knife in his hand, he was shocked. He dared not move forward. He bent down and bowed and said, "Zhuang Dianshi forgives his crimes, and he is also ordered to act. Please follow us to the county government for trial."

"Oh? The county master has found more evidence? That official really wants to listen to it and see how those people forged the evidence and arranged it." Zhuang Hong's eyes flashed with a gloomy death, but then he smiled and said, "My two generations of my Zhuang family have worked hard and worked diligently for Jiangcheng County for decades, but now they have been falsely accused like this. It's really a matter of black and white."

If it weren't for knowing what their brothers had done on weekdays and only looking at their expressions of their faces, Lin Lie and others would have believed his words. But before he could reply, Zhuang Hong said again: "It's okay to go to the yamen, but I want to say a few words to my younger brother first. I wonder if Captain Lin, would you allow it?"

"Please give me some advice." Lin Lie, who was completely suppressed, dared not stop him, so he had to nod.

Zhuang Hong smiled, then winked at Zhuang Qiang again, and the two retreated into the door.

"Brother, they..."

"Time is limited, listen to me." Zhuang Qiang's urgent speech was immediately interrupted by his brother. At this time, Zhuang Hong looked at him no longer as arrogant as before, and his face was a little more worried, "This time we really meet a powerful opponent. Although Wei Liang is not old, he is confident and has much more skillful methods than those county magistrates in the past.

"Now he has subdued many people in the county government, even Feng Ping and Wang He can't control him, so I'm very passive this time. He was prepared and Li Ling helped him, and he actually found a lot of evidence, which will make my situation even worse. So this time I went to the trial, and I'm probably not going to come back for the time being."

"Brother, how can this be...will it fall into his hands if this happens?"

"That's not, whether it's under house arrest or imprisonment, as long as I'm in the county government, I have enough ways to protect myself. This time he convicted me of corruption, and the fact that the donation of jute more than ten years ago caused hatred to the people for me was indeed a trick. Maybe he would inspire the people of the county to sue me later. Once everything is confirmed, my situation will be very unbearable.

"So if I want to get rid of the crime, I can't continue to argue with him in the county government. That's not his opponent. The only way is to move up and send the power to the Hengzhou government office to the Hengzhou government office. You should still remember that Chen Han, the Hengzhou government official, has gained our benefits for many years. In addition, the matter of donating the jute now has something to do with them, so as long as the matter is explained clearly, they will not refuse to save the death, otherwise they will just be disbanded!

"What you have to do next is to take more gold, silver and soft materials, hurry to Hengzhou. When Chen Han sees Chen Han, it is best to notify the government through his words, and the prefect's office will come forward to take over the case. In this way, you and I can ensure that everything is foolproof. Remember, this matter is related to the life and death of my banker. Don't be afraid of spending money. Give as much as they want!"

Zhuang Qiang listened quietly and nodded at the end: "I'll write it down, and I'll set out to Hengzhou Prefecture later."

"Also, don't come back after you go. At least you have to wait until things come back. The things you have done outside in the past few years are likely to be caught by them. Without my protection, you will definitely be bad." Zhuang Hong was quite concerned about his only brother, "and those people you recruited before, let them leave quickly, and there is no more charge."

"Yes, I get it."

"Ha... I didn't expect that I, Zhuang Hong, claimed to be shrewd, but was defeated by a rude unfatted man and a new county magistrate. Li Ling actually had such courage and ability, and Wei Liang did not follow the rules in the officialdom at all. It was really unexpected." He was deeply moved when he fell into such a defeat.

Zhuang Qiang, who was begging him, felt even more guilty because after all, Li Ling was still the trouble he caused. If he hadn't been begged by Zhang Fen to destroy the Li family and completely destroy the Li brothers and sisters, he wouldn't have caused such a lot of trouble.

If the brother had not accepted his request and then followed the flow and asked Li Ling to look at Jiageku, maybe there would have been a ruin now. Even if Wei Liang had the ability, he would not have been able to come up with any substantial evidence to convict his brother.

With a single thought, even the disaster will never be restored. At this time, Zhuang Qiang really regretted it to the extreme...
