Chapter two hundred and sixty-two: the killer

Three days were not long, and almost everyone showed no movement. The entire Lianzhou was extremely calm. Except for the prefect's ruling yamen, many people were eager to try it out.
It is certain that they are ready to go. They buy bones for ten thousand houses to do business, and the rewards are extremely generous. With the lessons of the past, there is nothing to say that they are just ordered to collect grain, even if they are asked to suppress bandits and kill the enemy.
During these three days, the prefect's office was staring at the prefect, wanting to see who to arrange for this grain collection. After all, this is a chance to get rich. Even if you get a few slaps, it doesn't seem like a big deal.
Early in the morning of the third day, Wang Zheng sat in the hall, nodded some of the heads, clerks and servants, and began to take action.
The farm in Qinghe County, Jingjiang Prince's Mansion had already received news early, and Zhu Shan was completely angry. In his opinion, it was natural for him to take advantage of the Wanhu Hou, but now Wanhu Hou wanted to ask him to spit out the food he had eaten, but he deserved to die.
Hundreds of farmers in the farm have already prepared with sticks, but they are just a group of servants from the prefects. Zhu Shan is not afraid at all. If these people are beaten, they will be beaten. So what can we do?
At noon, Yi Du led the team, and dozens of servants arrived. Just as they were about to pay a visit, the gate of the farm was silent. Then, the sound of gongs sounded. Suddenly, the whole manor became noisy. The gate of the farm was wide open, and then countless patio customers came out of the village with sticks. Someone shouted loudly: "The Marquis has an order, beat him hard!"
The officers were startled and couldn't even leave. Then they were dispersed by countless merchants, with countless sticks rising and falling, and they were merciless. The officers were surrounded and ran away with their heads in their arms. They were even slower and were grabbed and pressed to the ground and fists and feet together, and the whole farm was in a mess.
Zhu Shan stood on the third floor of the attic in the village with his hands behind his back, looking by the window, and seeing what happened outside, an elusive smile appeared on his face.
The manager standing behind him pursed his lips and frowned slightly, as if he thought it was inappropriate to do so. However, he knew Zhu Shan's temperament, and even Zhu Shan's thoughts, he understood a little.
This marquis has always been a person outside the core of the Jingjiang Palace and is dispensable in the entire clan. This time, he finally took this opportunity to win the favor of the prince. How could Zhu Shan miss this opportunity? In any case, he also had to use his own method to solve this problem.
Zhu Shan made a clear plan of wishful thinking. He had to take Lianzhou's credit. Now he had to suppress this matter no matter what. All these troubles must be dealt with quickly and try to be clean and beautiful in the royal palace.
Otherwise, if someone comes from Guilin, the credit will be divided into two.
"Marty..."
"Um..." Zhu Shan's tone was very plain, and he said, "What do you want to say."
"Beat the official officer, after all...after all...", the manager still couldn't help but want to make a few words of "proposal". After all, in his opinion, it was really nothing to beat the official officer with the power of the Jingjiang Palace, but then again, this kind of thing is still a bit taboo. If there is a censor to impeach, the face of the Jingjiang Palace may not be able to be put to rest.
Zhu Shan smiled and said lightly: "Beating them is to give them a better memory and let them know that the Jingjiang Palace is not easy to mess with. Otherwise, they will negotiate with them today and collect grain tomorrow. Think about it, what will those gentry think?"
The manager suddenly realized and finally understood the real purpose of Zhu Shan's big fight. Now many gentry wanted to withdraw their land, but Zhu Shan forced them to suppress this hole. No matter what, the government is going to collect grain. In fact, the nominal gentry below are watching. If the Jingjiang Palace takes a step back and even shows that it is decisive to kill, wouldn't it be just enough to give the gentry courage?
The squire is not ordinary people, and these people are not easy to bully. If even they make trouble, things will not be so easy to solve.
So this time, the attack not only hit the prefectural office, but also hit the Wanhu Hou in the face, but also intimidated the gentry who was about to move, so that everyone could understand that the authority of the Jingjiang Palace would not be shaken. Whoever dared to make any trouble would dare to fight back to let them know that it was amazing.
The manager nodded, as if he thought Zhu Shan had his own reasons.
The people sent out in the morning passed the news back at noon, but the news was not sent back by the people from the prefect's office, but the Qinghe County Magistrate replied in person, dozens of servants killed one and seriously injured more than a dozen others, and they all suffered skin injuries of different sizes. Now they are all temporarily suspended in the Qinghe County Magistrate.
The prefect Wang Zheng was so angry that he couldn't speak. The Qinghe County Magistrate obviously knew the seriousness of the matter. After all, someone died and was beaten to death by the royal palace. The problem was in Qinghe County, and he, the county magistrate, could not escape the relationship. How to decide this matter, you have to discuss it with the prefect no matter what, otherwise you will have to sleep and eat and feel uneasy.
Wang Zheng had any suggestions? After being stunned for a while, he realized that he had to follow the meaning of Wanhu Hou. Since the Jingjiang Palace refused to negotiate and beat someone to death, Wanhu Hou must come forward.
Wang Zheng and the magistrate immediately went to see Liu Chengfeng. Liu Chengfeng met them in the study room. He locked himself in the house all day long. Liu Chengfeng was much more rosy and was in great spirit. While fiddling with the pen holder on the desk, he listened to the county magistrate's report. Occasionally he would interject a few words and ask for details. Most of the time he remained silent, as if weighing something.
"Marty, this is the thing..." After the county magistrate finished speaking, Wang Zheng spoke, looking embarrassed and said: "I thought that even if the Jingjiang Palace refused to pay the grain, it would not be too terrible. I really didn't expect that they were so domineering. Now that the prefect has died and many seriously injured, Marquis, this matter..."
Liu Chengfeng narrowed his eyes, lowered the ceramic blue and white pen holder, and said slowly: "What did I say yesterday?"
yesterday……
Wang Zheng was stunned for a moment and began to recall what Liu Chengfeng said yesterday, but he was confused.
Liu Chengfeng continued: "Yesterday, I said that King Jingjiang is good, but I was deceived by the lower-minded people. There were villains in the Jingjiang Palace. These villains were ridiculed and ran around the countryside with King Jingjiang on their backs, giving them benefits, but they made King Jingjiang suffer the stigma. Now these dogs are becoming more and more amazing. They dare to kill Guanchai to death. What are they doing?"
Liu Chengfeng's face became extremely somber. He glanced at Wang Zheng and continued to say lightly: "They are trying to trap Prince Jingjiang to the point of being unjust. They are so cruel. It's a pity that Prince Jingjiang was deceived by them and could not detect it for a while. At that time, Prince Jingjiang will inevitably be troubled by them."
Liu Chengfeng's tone became solemn, saying, "King Jingjiang is a royal family. He has always been respected by the palace and is a role model of the vassal king. But even he is inevitably blinded. Liu has been admiring King Jingjiang for a long time. How could he let anyone kill the official in the name of King Jingjiang like this..."
Liu Chengfeng curled up his index finger and knelt hard on the desk. He sneered repeatedly and said viciously: "This matter cannot be stopped. Even for the sake of King Jingjiang, we cannot watch it on the wall. Prefect Wang, Magistrate Li, do you think, what this marquis is right?"
Wang Zheng was stunned, and a trace of unknown premonition flashed across his eyes. Although he was not very satisfied with his officialdom, he was still an official no matter how stupid he was. Liu Chengfeng's meaning was very clear. Beating people was not the original intention of King Jingjiang, and the person who beat people was not the King Jingjiang. The account had to be settled. For the dead official and the reputation of King Jingjiang, not only had to be settled, but also had to be completely liquidated.
If Liu Chengfeng did not clear his head, perhaps both sides might have room to maneuver, but if he cleared his head, the meaning would be very obvious. After all, he was trying to clear the king's side.
In short, it is the villain Ran Le in the royal palace, as a marquis of Wanhu and a prefect, can he ignore it?
If you want to manage, how can you manage it? Liu Chengfeng has probably made up his mind and clearly wants a dog to get a mouse.
Wang Zheng felt a little crying. This was a fight between gods and immortals. He was just a prefect. It might not be harmful to anyone if he made a fuss, but he, the prefect, was probably a scapegoat.
As for the magistrate, he was also beating Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. However, as his status, he was not suitable for speaking on such occasions. He just lowered his head and kept silent.
Seeing that both of them were silent, Liu Chengfeng seemed to be unwilling to care. He narrowed his glasses, but he was thinking in his heart: "This is your Jingjiang Palace, you are looking for death, don't think I, Mr. Liu, are cruel and ruthless."
Originally, the Jingjiang Palace was just to plunder Liu Chengfeng's interests, but it was not considered a deep hatred. What Liu Chengfeng wanted to do was just to get back his own interests. His own things were his own things, and it was not so easy to take them.
But when things have reached this point, they are already going to die. If they don’t kill, how can Wanhu Hou gain a foothold in this Lianzhou Prefecture in the future?
Liu Chengfeng said slowly: "If you don't speak, I will say that this time the servants ordered to collect grain will each be given 50 taels of silver, and the seriously injured will be given 200 taels of silver. As for the servants who died, they will receive 1,000 taels of silver. If he has a son or nephew, I recommend them to join the Jinyiwei."
When Liu Chengfeng said his pension, his face was still dull. Money was so good. It was a good thing. Liu Daizi now has money and doesn't care about such a small amount of money.
Then, Liu Chengfeng smiled coldly again and continued, "But you must never stop doing this! Killing an official is to rebel!"
Chapter completed!
