The courtyard fell into silence again, and everyone's eyes turned to Li Fengshi standing on the steps.

Li Fengshi stood upright like a ginkgo tree next to him, and faced everyone's gaze with a half-smile and said: "The witness is Chang Zhu's confession, and the physical evidence is his correspondence with Bailian leader Zhao Quan. Are these enough?"

With Lin Haoran's current influence, even just one crime can be used to convict Fan Qianshan, and other court officials would not dare to question it. Now that the two items appear together, Fan Qianshan's identity as a White Lotus cultist is irrefutable.

this……

Zhang Mancang and others looked at Li Fengshi in surprise, realizing the seriousness of the situation. Although they all knew that Fan Qianshan had been engaged in smuggling business and had contact with the White Lotus cult, they never expected that he would be caught with pigtails

.

A terrible thought flashed through Chen Boren's mind, but he thought about the matter deeper.

It couldn't be such a coincidence. Lin Haoran must have pried open Chang Zhu's mouth. It wasn't until his trip to Shanxi that he revealed the matter. His target was no longer just Fan Qianshan, but he must have been plotting something or someone else.

Combined with Lin Haoran's reputation of "three steps and one calculation" and "the plan is as deep as the sea", plus the fact that the battle in the court is inseparable, Lin Haoran is playing a big game this time.

As soon as he thought of this, a chill ran down his spine, but he knew that a disaster might be imminent this time, and it might even change the situation in Shanxi.

"Whether you believe it or not, it is an established fact that Fan Qianshan is the Bailian traitor. Since you are all familiar with Fan Qianshan, please go back with me to cooperate with the interrogation and take away all the relevant people!" After Li Fengshi explained, he immediately made a big move.

An authentic wave.

As he finished speaking, the confidants he had brought with him were about to lead the government officials of Pingyang Prefecture to detain the people. However, they were suddenly stunned and were surprised to find that these government officials were nailed there like wooden stakes.

More than a hundred government officials did not obey the order and came forward to arrest the people, but remained there to harass them.

China is a society that pays great attention to human relationships and maintains the idea of ​​gentry autonomy.

In many places, the imperial power did not enter the countryside, and even the county magistrate could not control matters outside the county town. Because "officials are smooth and officials are hard-working", the scribes and officials of the yamen have long been infiltrated by local gentry.

The most prestigious person in Fenzhou Prefecture now is not the prefect of Pingyang, but Chen Boren and other Shanxi merchants. They have already controlled the entire operation of Pingyang Prefecture.

Now that Li Fengshi wants to order people to be arrested, the biggest problem is naturally whether the order can be executed. Even if he is an inspector, if the people below him don't obey his orders, he is just a bachelor commander.

"Let me see which of you dares!" The Chen family's servants and the guards of the Shanxi merchants had already gathered together, and they followed the people from the Inspectorate and Envoys and said tit for tat.

Li Fengshi's face instantly turned ugly, but he turned to look at Magistrate Liu and said angrily: "Prefect Liu, what do you mean?"

When Young Master Yang saw this, he said with a bit of threat: "Prefect Liu, don't make any mistake. The current chief assistant is still Mr. Xu Ge. I don't know who will have the last laugh!"

"Yes, now either the east wind is overwhelming the west wind, or the west wind is overwhelming the east wind, Lin Ruoyu can't cover the sky with one hand!" Mr. Huo also said.

Seeing the two noble gentlemen banging next to him, Magistrate Liu also firmed his stance and awkwardly raised his hands to Li Fengshi and said: "Sir, Mr. Tai, I feel that this move should be considered in the long run. I'm sorry to accept my order!"

Li Fengshi turned to look at Magistrate Liu and warned with some resentment: "Prefect Liu, I will certainly impeach you, and you will regret it!"

"Haha...I can ensure that nothing happens to him, and I will definitely make your official career prosperous!" Mr. Huo never took this Shanxi inspector seriously from beginning to end, but he proudly promised.

Magistrate Liu's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately thanked Mr. Huo for his cultivation, regardless of the magistrate's dignity.

"Mr. Huo, you should take care of yourself first!" Li Fengshi snorted coldly, but without waiting for Mr. Huo's rude words, he turned to face the outside and said: "Mr. Tian, ​​since you are here, why are you here?

Why don’t you show up?”

Huh?

When Chen Boren and others heard this, they couldn't help but look at the courtyard gate in surprise.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

There was no movement at the courtyard gate. Just when he was about to ridicule Magistrate Liu for his pretense, he saw a majestic general striding in with his soldiers. At the same time, he said half-jokingly: "Sir, I didn't think it was necessary."

I just took a nap outside!"

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid Mr. Lin Ge's job would be ruined. Please!" Li Fengshi replied with a hint of truth, and then made a gesture of invitation.

Since Shen Jiyue has been imprisoned, he has been temporarily replaced as the current Shanxi General Soldier. Facing these guards and Shanxi merchants, Tian Shiwei waved his hand and said: "Brothers, take down all these profiteers who make you wear rags!"

"

Not to mention the heavy military orders, these were Tian Shiwei's own soldiers and elite soldiers, so it was naturally impossible for him to lose control. As the order came down, he frightened the guards with his eyes, and then pounced on the Shanxi merchants.

"Wait a minute!" Mr. Huo stopped him, and then came over and said seriously: "General Tian, ​​you should know who I am, right? My father is Huo Ji, the left minister of the Ministry of War, and now I want you to take you with me

If your soldiers leave here, I can protect your glory and wealth!"

Li Fengshi frowned slightly, but he couldn't help but look at Tian Shiwei next to him.

Tian Shiwei naturally knew the background of the young master in front of him. Since Huo Ji was the left minister of the Ministry of War who controlled his own destiny, the Huo family should not be offended the most.

Zhang Mancang and others looked at Tian Shiwei hopefully. As long as Tian Shiwei leads his troops and leaves, they can temporarily avoid this disaster this time and have a lot of room for maneuver in the future.

Second Young Master Huo watched Tian Shiwei touching his chin and thinking, then took out a piece of paper from his arms and added the code: "I never blackmail anyone. This is a land deed in the capital. You can accept it first!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, his pupils suddenly shrank, a crisp slap sounded, and five finger marks were left on his fair face, and the land deed in his hand fell from his hand.

this……

Zhang Mancang and others couldn't help but stare with disbelief on their faces. They never expected that Tian Shiwei not only was not bewitched by the Second Young Master Huo, but instead slapped the Second Young Master Huo in public.

When Li Fengshi saw this, his hanging heart was slightly relieved, and he looked at Tian Shiwei in surprise. Although Lin Haoran's thighs were thick, there seemed to be no need to offend the Huo family.

Of course, this might not be Tian Shiwei's way of risking his own life. After all, compared with Lin Haoran, who has thick thighs, Huo Ji only has the legs of a kid at best.

Tian Shiwei looked at Mr. Huo who had been beaten so hard that his mouth was bleeding, but he said seriously: "You may really be able to give me Tian Shiwei glory and wealth, but you don't know that what we soldiers want most is to kill the Tatars. Follow

Lin Ge’s veteran general killed the Tatars to pieces!”

When the soldiers who were arresting Shanxi merchants heard these words, they immediately felt heroic in their hearts.
Chapter completed!
