my days with tyrants

Chapter 324 New Youth

Of course, it is impossible for Yang Feng to let these talents who have spent many years of painstaking training take up the post alone.

Will be intercepted by the gentry.

In the current situation, if one person takes office alone, the gentry everywhere will definitely not let them take office alive...

Stealing.

overboard.

Sudden illness.

……

They experience various ways of dying.

In this era, it is common for people to travel far and die on the road. It is said that Yang Feng was almost made into meat buns when he went north!If he really died, it would be very difficult for the government to find out. Maybe he was directly fed to the fish when he crossed the river, so give him a life without a person or a dead body.And it's not just on the road, after they take office, there is a high probability that they will be killed in the current situation. Isn't it easy for local officials and gentry to collude and kill such treacherous minions?Li Sancai dared to hire bandits in the prison, framed the tax inspector sent by Wanli as an accomplice, and then directly arrested him and killed him in prison.

In fact, this is the first choice for civil servants and gentry to confront him at present.

They will not openly rebel for a while.

They haven't been driven to the point where they have no choice.

But it can kill his minions.

As long as he is unable to arrange his cronies to control power locally, he will never be able to implement the public land law. If the civil servants and gentry can always do this, they will be tantamount to winning.

Therefore, every new Jinshi who went to take a post outside the capital brought ten Jinyiwei, led by a small flag, and it was not the original Jinyiwei who were in the nature of internal guards, and the latter did not have so many people. The Shenji Battalion selected elite soldiers and expanded them to Jinyiwei. Not only were they equipped with two short guns for one person, but they also had the right to borrow troops from the local guards.

However, the public identity is still the followers of these new scholars.

Generally do not reveal identity.

but exposed...

If they are exposed, they will really be arrested.

"This old man, why did you wipe his neck like that just now?
Explain to us? "

Xiao Qi looked at the old man who taught the young and strong to kill and said.

"I am an octogenarian, how can I allow you and other children to frame me!"

The old man shouted sternly.

Liu Wen glanced at him silently, before the old man understood, Liu Wen had already stuffed the short gun with no bullets into the young and strong hand in front of him, and then Liu Wen raised his hand under his blank gaze, letting him The muzzle of the short gun was aimed at himself...

"Assassination of an official ordered by the imperial court is not a matter of shooting!"

He said.

At the same time, the trigger of the short gun in the other hand was slowly pulled.

At the same time he looked at the old man.

The old man's legs softened and he knelt directly on the ground.

"Master Judge, it's the little one who is confused, the little one deserves death, it's the little one who let him murder the master!"

He howled with snot and tears.

"If you don't see the coffin and don't cry, tie it up yourself. Otherwise, he will assassinate the court and order the officials to conspire against you. You are all accomplices. Follow the rebellious rebels. One counts as one, and all of them have to be killed. Don't worry." I thought that this official would not dare to kill people, but I was still in Guizhou at this time last year, following the official army to kill and set fire!"

Liu Wen shouted.

He did kill and set fire last year.

He was originally from Wukaiwei, Guizhou, and these graduates went back to their hometowns for internships. In fact, they were also asked to go back to visit relatives.

It happened that Gu Cheng and He Fu were conquering Wukai Man, so of course he followed suit.

Those young and strong looked at each other, and one of them ran away like crazy suddenly, probably running back to Xiangyang to report the news, or trying to find a way, but the next moment Liu Wen shot out flames from the short gun in his hand, and this unlucky guy fell down in response, and the others were all frightened. To be honest, I had no choice but to find ropes to tie each other, and those old men stood there trembling...

"It's all tied up!"

Liu Wen shouted.

Those young men had no choice but to go over and tie them up too.

At this moment, a Jin Yiwei quietly approached Liu Wen and whispered something, Liu Wen turned to look at Yi Cheng, who was standing there with an honest face.

Liu Wen didn't say anything, just smiled meaningfully.

At this moment, the back door of the post station had been opened, and a postman rode a horse and ran towards the inspection department. This place actually belongs to Xiangyang, but it is just the gateway to the north of Xiangyang, but it is useless even if the inspection comes, because Although he gave the order to arrest people, it was Jin Yiwei who arrested people, not to mention the inspection department, even the magistrate of Xiangyang and even the inspector of Huguang had no right to interfere with Jin Yiwei.

"But if these dogs jump over the wall in a hurry, they will still pretend to be bandits."

Xiaoqi said in a low voice.

"Then it's time to deploy troops to deal with it."

Liu Wen said.

"My cousin is stationed not far away in Xiangyangwei, but it's just a small flag like me."

Xiaoqi said.

"That's fine. Don't let him tell Baihu, just come here quietly with your brothers. We don't know the relationship between the generals of Xiangyang Guard and the local gentry. Let them not worry. You are Jin Yiwei, and you have the right to call them to catch thieves."

Liu Wen said.

They are new scholars who really establish control when they go to the local area. Ambassador Yang has long said that whoever can quickly make decisions in the local area will be promoted to the local chief.He is the magistrate of Dengzhou, but the magistrate has resigned. He is currently acting as the magistrate of Tongzhi, and the magistrate is second only to Tongzhi.

So now is the time to stand up.

"Go, take them out of Huguang, it's only reasonable for us to get our own jurisdiction."

He said.

This is the provincial boundary, and going north directly into Xinye, which belongs to Henan, and Xinye belongs to Dengzhou at this time.

It was his job to get there.

Jin Yiwei caught the criminal who assassinated the court official and entered the jurisdiction of Dengzhou, so the judge of Dengzhou has the responsibility to provide all necessary assistance.

They immediately drove those people, including the wounded and unconscious old guy, and threw them together on a donkey cart, and the group headed north and quickly left the provincial border.

At this time, Lu Yan, who received the news, had sent a letter to Xiangyang as quickly as possible.

Xiangyang.

The house of Ren Hengtai, former Minister of Rites.

Juren Song Xin walked out with an angry face. Behind him, Ren Xianzong, the son of Ren Hengtai, looked embarrassed, and hurriedly asked the servants to close the door while saluting the guests.

Hundreds of elders crowded outside Xiangxian immediately came forward.

"How, did Mr. Ren promise to come forward?"

An old man asked Song Xin.

"Sure enough, he is not of my race, so his heart must be different. He can't be counted on."

Song Xin sneered.

Strictly speaking, Ren Hengtai cannot be regarded as a foreign race, his mother is Semu, but in fact he is not really Semu, because his mother is from the Wugulun family, which is the Jurchen surname, and Jin Wushu's mother is from the Wugulun family, and it is estimated that the remaining Jurchen's Jurchen were counted as sex eyes because of their beliefs.But Ren Hengtai has his mother's surname, so it's okay to count his eyes, but his wife is from Mongolia. In short, his background is a bit complicated.But now he is a local gentry in Xiangyang, so he can be said to be the boss, because Xiangyang had produced him as a high-ranking court official in the Hongwu Dynasty, and he was born as the number one scholar.

"Then what should we do? My father is still under arrest, the prefects and county magistrates have all resigned, and Xiangyang Wei doesn't care."

A young Confucian scholar said anxiously.

"Never mind, whatever is better!

Lu Yan went to Xinye for seventy miles, they couldn't get there before dark, and they had to rest halfway at night. We picked young and strong men who could fight, crossed the river and caught up with them on horseback. They killed them all in the middle of the night, wasn't it just a few Jinyi guards? , After leaving the capital, you still want to be a tyrant? "

Song Xin said.

"It's just that it made a big fuss."

A fellow villager Xian said with some hesitation.

"Han Gong, are you still afraid of causing trouble at this time? That dog official is clearly here to harm people. He is Yang Feng's confidant. Those he taught in Wutai Mountain are all controlled by his demonic methods, just like that demon soldier. It was for him to harm people. This time he took advantage of it, and when the time comes, under torture, he will fabricate charges and fabricate unjust cases. Those who are caught will not survive, and they may even cling to them indiscriminately. Those of us in Xiangyang will not be able to escape.

Since he will kill him sooner or later, why not act first?

It is said that our Xiangyang government has also appointed a new pusher, who is also Yang Feng's minion.

Don't think that his going to Dengzhou has nothing to do with us.

He is the wayfinder.

From now on, all our prefectures and counties will be Yang Feng's minions. At that time, we will die if he says a word. "

Song Xin said.

The elders and sages looked at each other in blank dismay.

Indeed, Yang Feng is laying out the layout, waiting for his minions to complete their control over the locality. Now that he has just arrived at one, he is already so rampant. After that, as his minions get more and more, all local officials at all levels will become him. When he was his minion, wouldn't it be a word to kill the gentry?

"We have to let his minions come and die one by one. The surrounding mountains are high and the forests are dense. What do bandits have to do with us?"

Song Xin said.

"Let's go, quickly gather people!"

A fellow villager Xian said.

They immediately left in front of Ren's house.

They didn't notice that a person in a carriage not far away was watching them with interest.

These guys don't shy away from people at all.

Xiangyang magistrate, county magistrate, Tongzhi, all officials who have been promoted have either resigned or been involved in the case and fled. At present, there is only one judge left in the entire Xiangyang Prefecture, and they basically don’t care about it. These are almost all the influential local gentry in Xiangyang. , They are afraid of a bird!Of course, hundreds of people get together and speak in the local dialect, and they are not afraid of being heard by outsiders, but they don't know that just before they left the gate of Ren's house in a mess, one of the crowd was also shouting in the dialect The guy, but slipped out quietly, and then walked to the carriage.

"Li Tuiguan, they are going to pretend to be bandits and chase after them on horseback to attack and kill Judge Liu and others tonight."

he said in a low voice.

"Liu Wen is playing really well!"

The new Xiangyang promotion official, Liu Wen's alumnus, Li Xin, who is only a liberal arts student, said with a smile.

They were actually walking together.

It's just that after arriving in Xiangyang, Liu Wen landed in Fancheng and went north to Luyan, but he went directly to Xiangyang, and then hired a carriage to pretend to be a passing businessman, and took the accompanying Jinyiwei to play private visits in micro-clothes.

"Do you want to go to Xiangyang Guard to transfer troops?"

Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi asked.

"No, they are making trouble like this. No one from Xiangyang Wei has come to take care of it. I guess it has already been taken care of. After all, we are outsiders. They and the generals of Xiangyang Wei have been neighbors for decades, and they may be relatives of each other. We have everything, if we rush to deploy troops, we will definitely leak the news. Go to the bank, Xiangyang Bank has an escort team, we add Liu Wen and others, there are dozens of short guns, and the escort team has more than 30 long and short guns, which is enough deal with them.

Take them and go to Xiangyangwei. "

Li Xin said.

Xiaoqi nodded.

The group of them immediately turned to the bank, arrived at the bank soon, and Li Xin took out his graduation certificate.

But the identity did not say.

He also didn't know the relationship between the bank teller and the local gentry.

But with his graduation certificate, he is qualified to mobilize the power here.

This is the graduation certificate of Mount Wutai University.

The bank teller immediately handed over the escort team to him.

In addition, horses were prepared for them, and even boats to cross the river were prepared...

This is from Mount Wutai. The treasurer of the Xiangyang Bank is still a slave of the little princess. In their system, his status is much lower than that of these disciples of the emperor. Including Li Xin's identity and what he is doing, the bank teller doesn't even have to ask. , just do what he says.

Li Xin and his party of fifty riders crossed the Han River. When they landed in Fancheng, a team of hundreds of riders also landed on the pier not far from them. It is normal for caravans going north to ride horses.In particular, there is a bank escort team. It is obvious that a big customer is going north with a large amount of money and hires a bank escort team to escort. Banks everywhere provide this kind of service. After all, it is very dangerous to do business these days.

The two teams set off almost at the same time.

Li Xin went straight to the north, pretending to go straight to Dengzhou.

That team headed towards Lu Yan.

But Li Xin turned back quickly, and with a telescope, he led fifty riders to follow from a distance.

Soon they crossed Luyan one by one.

Then keep going until nightfall.

"In front is Xindiandu, where there is a market town."

The escort captain who is familiar with this road said.

Just as he finished speaking, gunshots were heard in the distance.

"Get ready to do it!"

Li Xin said.

On horseback, he directly pulled out his short guns, and those Jin Yiwei also pulled out their short guns.

"Master Li, where are we?"

The escort captain who didn't know the truth asked cautiously.

His men were also ready for battle.

In fact, their combat experience is still very rich.

"Don't worry about what you're doing, you can kill whoever I ask you to kill later, and I forgot to tell you that I'm the new promotion official of Xiangyang Mansion, so it's reasonable to lead you to catch the thief, right?"

Li Xin said with a smile.

Then he urged the horse.

Behind Jin Yiwei Xiaoqi took out his waist card and waved it in front of the escort captain.

The latter was in a cold sweat, and led his subordinates to also urge the horses.

At this time, there were more gunshots in the distance.

"No, not only Liu Wen, but also the three-eyed blunderbuss of the officers and soldiers."

Li Xin shouted suddenly.

As soon as he finished shouting, dozens of cavalry routs appeared in his field of vision in a chaotic manner. In the moonlight, it could be seen that they were those who crossed the river north at the same time as them before. Li Xin raised the short gun without hesitation, and at the same time Ten Jin Yiwei also raised their short guns, and eleven horses lined up in a horizontal line, just like the European Musketeers during the Thirty Years' War. Pulled the trigger.

There was a chaotic fall on the opposite side.

At this time, Li Xin and others raised the second short gun...
