I have a knife, out of the sheath can kill monsters

Chapter 28 Framed and framed, no one can argue

For four whole days, Ji Chen had been meditating on refining Qi, refining his body, using the sun's fine fire to refine his broken saber, and cleansing away the resentment attached to it due to killing during this period.

At the same time, he also realized some other things through qi refining, which were related to combat.

This needs to be tested in practice.

The county government soap class has been completely integrated by Ji Chen, forming absolute prestige, and Ding Gongbo has also begun to emerge.

Ji Chen found out that he was very capable and ruthless enough, so he passed on the exercises collected from the Black Eagle Gang to Ding Gongbo.

He doesn't have that much time to take care of Zaoban's affairs, so he needs a spokesperson, and Ding Gongbo is a good choice.

He is obedient!
On this day, Ding Gongbo found Ji Chen, and the county government began to collect taxes. Originally, everything was handled by Ding Gongbo, and it went smoothly. The merchants in Fenglin Town also paid taxes voluntarily.

But the Sirius Gang has too many properties, and they need to pay a lot of taxes, more than 2 taels. The Sirius Gang is afraid of accidents and hopes that Ji Chen will hand it over in person.

In the past, Team Leader Zhao was the handover, so Ji Chen didn't think too much about it, took the Broken Saber and followed Ding Gongbo to the Sirius Gang's garrison.

Just to collect taxes, Ji Chen didn't bring many people with him, including Ding Gongbo, a total of six yamen servants.

Everyone came to the residence of the Sirius Gang, and under the leadership of a hall master, they came to a warehouse.

Ji Chen was wondering, didn't he hand over the tax?How did you bring it to the warehouse?

Fortunately, the hall master gave an explanation in time, "Gentlemen, wait a moment, the gang master is checking the goods inside and clearing the tax money that should be paid. I will call him right away."

After finishing speaking, the hall master walked towards the inside.

Ji Chen looked at the warehouse, it wasn't very big, but it was full of goods.

I don't know if his sense of smell is too sensitive, but he smelled a faint salty smell, like the smell of the sea, and like the smell of salt mines.

Pickles?
But the storage method is wrong.

Confused, Ji Chen walked towards one of the piles of goods, poked the pocket with his fingers, hooked it lightly, and brought out the contents.

"Fine salt!"

Ji Chen frowned slightly, then punctured several other bags one after another, and found that they were full of salt.

Ding Gongbo has been following behind Ji Chen, and his expression changed after discovering this situation.He hurried to the other piles of goods, poked open the bag with a knife, and the salt inside flowed out.

Salt!
This warehouse is full of salt, and it is still fine salt.

Daxia has extremely strict control over salt, especially fine salt, which is all under official control and strictly privately traded.

There are restrictions on the use of salt by the common people, which is only enough for food, and even if there is a little surplus, it is not enough for trading.

The other yamen servants were all stunned when they saw this.With so much private salt, it was enough to kill the entire Sirius Gang, including the families of all gang members. The males were sent to the army, and the females were sold into the bishop's workshop.

One of them said angrily, "Sirius gang dares to smuggle salt, it's really daring."

Only Ji Chen and Ding Gongbo feel that the situation is wrong. If it is really the Sirius Gang who sell illegal salt, why would they be brought to the warehouse where the illegal salt is stored.

Isn't this self-inflicted?

"I'll go inside and have a look!"

Ding Gongbo hurriedly ran towards the warehouse, but soon he came back with a very ugly face.

"There is a door at the back. The hall master ran away from the back door, and the door has been smashed to death."

"Go, get out of here immediately!"

Ji Chen made a decisive decision to lead his people to leave.

He already understood that this was a trap. Someone wanted to frame him. Once such a huge amount of private salt was blamed on him, everyone around him would be implicated.

Before Ji Chen and the others reached the door of the warehouse, there was the sound of chaotic footsteps outside, and a group of policemen in light red tight black clothes appeared at the door and quickly blocked the door of the warehouse.

Behind the arrester, there were a large number of people from the rivers and lakes, holding shining single knives, at least hundreds of people crowded in from the alley outside, and quickly surrounded the entire warehouse.

The faces of the yamen servants behind Ding Gongbo changed wildly. No matter how slow their reactions were, they knew they had been tricked.

Twenty police officers quickly squeezed into the warehouse, closed the door of the warehouse, and sealed it.

A middle-aged man with a single knife hanging from his waist came out.

This person is tall and burly, with a condensed face, 38 or [-] years old, slightly dark skin, short beard on the lips and under the jaw.

"The head arrester received a tip-off that someone was selling illicit salt, and the quantity was huge. He came here to search, and if he encountered obstruction, he would be killed on the spot."

Ji Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a sharp glint in his eyes.

The Black Hawk Gang was picked by himself, and now the master behind the Black Hawk Gang has come forward and wants revenge.

This is not surprising. When picking the Black Eagle Gang, Ji Chen knew that he would provoke the Patrol Division. The only thing that surprised him was the Sirius Gang. They were so brave that they dared to cooperate with the Patrol Division to frame him.

"The leader is the chief arrester of the patrolling department, named Cao Peixi, he is Tieyi patrolling, and he is also the person in charge of the patrolling department of Fenglin Town." Ding Gongbo reminded Ji Chen in a low voice.

The Patrol Department and the county government office are only two streets away, and the two agencies rarely communicate with each other.

Cao Peixi is the Iron Clothes Patrolman of the Patrol Department, and also the Chief Catchment of Fenglin Township, he is the ninth rank.

The [-] patrolmen under him are all from the ninth rank. From this point, it can be seen how much power the patrol department has. All the arresters are from the rank.

Ninth and eighteenth ranks, although they are only the last level, are a hundred times stronger than the officials of the county government, and the patrols also have the responsibility of monitoring the local government, which is not something they can provoke.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Patrol Division should not be provoked, and they have to go around when passing by the gate of the Patrol Division.

Usually, when the yamen servants patrol the streets, they have to go around when they encounter the police officers of the patrol department, and try not to cause conflicts if possible.

With a gloomy face, Cao Peixi walked around the warehouse, walked to the shelf, dipped his finger in a little salt, put it in his mouth, tasted it, spat it out, and then walked to Ji Chen's side, Cold voice:
"These smuggled salts are yours, right? As a Zaobang yamen servant, you take the lead in selling smuggled salts, and the amount is huge. I think you should know what your crime is."

Ji Chen raised his eyebrows, "Captain Cao, the game is well done."

He praised without hesitation, please enter the urn, plant and frame, although it is a bit simple and rude, it is really effective, and everyone can get all the stolen goods, and it is impossible to argue.

Cao Peixi smiled coldly, "I'm sorry, you picked my Black Eagle Gang and ruined my plan. I'll give it back to you. By the way, I would like to warn you that the officialdom is not so easy to mess with. You are not as good as you are."

"Official circles are no different from Jianghu. It's not enough to fight and kill. Officialdom pays attention to tactics, using brains, not loyalty. In Fenglin Township, I am the sky, and I have the final say on what is black and white. , Life and death are all under my control, I want you to live, and I want you to die."

"Really?" Ji Chen said coldly: "In my opinion, the officialdom is actually the same as the world. Whoever has the biggest fist is right. I also have something to say to you, grass nima!"

Ji Chen directly drew out his knife, and slashed at him with one blow.
