Chapter 255 Two Places
Here, Sun Dan didn't realize that Master Lifang had slipped out quietly.He has just been in Fangshan for half a day, and many people can't remember it. Besides, the masters of the sixth house are all left behind by the previous county magistrate. In the future, appropriate personnel adjustments will definitely be made. There is one more master and one less in the lobby. Sun Dan doesn't care. Take it to heart.

So, began to record statements.

Although Zhou Xinshu was beaten badly, he raised his spirits and explained the whole story clearly.

It turned out that after receiving Sun Dan's post in the morning, Zhou Xinshu rushed to Guo Pu's house excitedly, and asked Guo's family to return Hua Daniu's land to fulfill the marriage between Zhou and Hua.

It's a pity that Zhou Xinshu didn't happen to go there. As soon as he entered Guo's house, he saw a group of hooligans sitting in the lobby of Guo's house, and Guo Pu was accompanying him.

After receiving Sun Dan's post, Guo Pu only glanced at it, and tore it up with a sneer: "Let my old Guo family retreat, hehe, who is the power of a little magistrate who dares to stand in front of me?" Canada. Zhou Xinshu, my old Guo’s house is also a place where you can come.”

Seeing Guo Pu turn his face, a group of hooligans rushed forward and beat Zhou Xinshu to death.

This group of hooligans was originally paid by the Hua family, and Guo Pu invited them from the capital to fight hooligans.They are afraid that things will not make a big fuss, because the bigger the trouble, the more money they will get for their services.Therefore, as soon as Guo Pu turned his face, this group of people rushed up and beat him before Mr. Guo could speak.

When Guo Pu realized it was wrong and told them to stop, poor Zhou Xinshu had already been beaten and lay on the ground unable to move.

After recording the statement, Sun Dan asked Zhou Xinshu: "Zhou Xinshu, let me ask you, who are the names of these gangsters?"

Zhou Xinshu was beaten until his brain was swollen, and his consciousness was a little confused. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't explain clearly. The person in charge seemed to be surnamed Han.

Sun Dan nodded: "It's good to know the surname. This time, I went to Guojiazhuang to find the murderer. As for the Guo family and your Hua and Zhou families, I will judge later. Come, follow me to Guojiazhuang."

With an order, Sun Hao, the new prison master, hastily ordered more than a dozen yamen servants, and followed Sun Dan and Feng Zhen to attack Guo's house.

The county seat is about ten miles away from Guojiazhuang, which is about seven kilometers, and usually it only takes an hour to walk there.It's a pity that the yamen servants under Sun Dan dawdled for a long time before leaving. They also took three steps and slid on the road, as slow as a snail.

Sun Dan knew what these yamen servants were thinking. They were all locals, and the Guo family was the biggest gentry and the biggest local snake in Fangshan County.I don't know how long Sun Dan will be the county magistrate, even if he holds this position for a full term, it will only be three years.And these yamen servants have to deal with the Guo family all their lives, so naturally they are unwilling to help Sun Dan, so as not to offend Guo Pu.

Seeing that the speed was too slow, Sun Dan realized the seriousness of the problem.If we continue to dawdle like this, once the news leaks out and the gangsters run away, Zhou Xinshu's case will be difficult to handle if there is no evidence to investigate.

He also understood the thoughts of the yamen servants. In the eyes of Fangshan people, he was just an outsider, and it would take some time to get their approval.

Thinking of this, Sun Dan didn't hesitate, and let Sun Hao lead the group of yamen servants to hesitantly walk behind, but he led Feng Zhen to gallop all the way towards Guo's house on a fast horse.

With Feng Zhen around, he was prepared in advance, as long as he didn't encounter an ambush like this morning, he should be able to control the situation.

On the way, Feng Zhen asked Sun Dan: "My lord, this Guo Pu is really hateful, he doesn't give you face like this, you have to show him some seriousness this time."

Sun Dan smiled softly: "My face, Sun Dan, is nothing, and it doesn't matter if I get offended. But Guo Pu annexed a large number of lands, and used illegal means to attract ordinary people to become tenant farmers in the Guo family, resulting in a large loss of national tax revenue. Your Majesty sent me to Fangshan wants to clear the land and implement the tax reform, but things like this cannot be ignored. Sun Dan is fair and just, and everything proceeds from the laws of the country. As for personal grievances, it doesn't really matter."

Feng Zhen: "Master is naturally the upright and honest Master Qingtian."

Even though Sun Dan said that, he sneered in his heart: What a Guo Pu, he actually provoked me.Don't think that with Guo Xun as your backstage, I can't touch you. Even if Guo Xun came, he would be polite when he saw me, Sun Dan.You, Guo Pu, are the largest family in Fangshan, and you have a great reputation. You don’t know how many people and land you have hidden. Let’s come down and clear up slowly, and we will eventually let you spit out all the land.To offend me, Sun Dan, is to hinder the emperor's new policy, and to oppose the entire state apparatus.

Sun Dan already had a plan in mind. When he went to Guo Pu's place today, he first had to restrain the gangsters and ask them to compensate Zhou Xinshu for medical expenses. Home land backs out.

As long as the gap of retreat is opened, the next thing will be easy to handle.

For the time being, let's discuss the matter first, and the action does not need to be too big.

While Sun Dan and the others were still on the road, Mu Shouli had already arrived at Guo Pu's manor on horseback.Originally, Master Li Fang would also accompany him.But Mu Shouli thought about it, and let him stay in the county to monitor the movement in the city.

When he reached the gate of Guojiazhuang, Mu Shouli threw the whip to a servant and said loudly, "Take me to see Guo Pu."

Guo's family member knew Mu Shouli, he hurriedly smiled and said: "So it's Master Mu, my master caught a cold today, he is recuperating in bed, and he hasn't seen any guests, I hope you will forgive me."

"The wind is cold, why is the wind cold?" Mu Shouzhi said with a tiger face: "If I don't know, your master is with the people in the business, go and go, go and tell your master that the new Fangshan county magistrate is coming to arrest someone. Come on, tell the dealer to leave quickly, so as not to be caught in the act."

That servant knew how to read the situation, and seeing that what Mu Shouli said was true, it could be said that he knew the situation of the Guo family clearly, he was horrified, and hurriedly said: "Master Mu, follow me to the study Wait, the villain is going to report to Mr. Guo."

Entering Guo's study room, before the cup of high-quality incense chips in his hand soaked into color, he heard a loud laugh from outside: "I wonder why the magpies on the tree kept barking early this morning. There is a distinguished guest coming!"

As soon as the voice fell, I saw a tall middle-aged man walking in with a strong and powerful man.

The person who spoke was Guo Pu, the owner of Guojiazhuang.Although he was born in Juren, he looks strong and strong, and he walks vigorously, like a general.

The man behind him is also quite strong, his eyes are full of fierce light.

Mu Shouli smiled: "It's been a long time since I've been in Fangshan, and this is the first time for me to come to the Guo Mansion. It seems that Mr. Guo doesn't want to make friends with me."

Guo Pu was taken aback, and said to himself: You are from Maoge, we are from Guohou, well water does not violate river water, it is not easy to see each other without getting tired of each other, I am afraid it will be a little difficult to be friends.

However, he still smiled heartily and made an apology: "It was Guo Pu who was negligent, and I should have visited your house long ago. However, it is my honor, Guo Pu, for your lord to condescend to come to me today. Come, come, I will replace you Introduce a new friend." As he spoke, he pointed to the short and strong man behind him and said: "This is the famous Han Yue Han Daxia in the capital. Don't look down on Han Daxia, he used to be a member of the Beiya Jinyiwei Hundred Households, Thirteen Taibao Ranked third among all sword masters in the world."
