Chapter 77 Magistrate’s Yamen

Fuzhou City, in front of the magistrate's office

A large group of merchants beat drums to express their grievances.

After the gangs in Fuzhou City were unified, they were asked to pay according to the store.

If they don't agree, these gangsters will make a small fuss every three days and a big fuss every five days, making it impossible for them to do business.

They also wanted to use their servants to repel these people, but their servants were no match for these gangsters.

These merchants couldn't bear it and had no choice but to come to the prefect's Yamen to file a complaint.

When the magistrate Fang saw so many merchants coming to beat drums and complain about their grievances, one was the first and the second was the biggest.

The people in the prefect's yamen are no match for those gangsters.

Jin Jiuling, who was befriended by the six-door arrester Jin Jiuling, was a good official and became an embroidery thief. As a result, he was taken away by the Jin Yiwei.

The six gates were all occupied by Jinyiwei.

Nowadays, the only people in Fuzhou who have the ability to control these gangs are Pingnan Palace and Jinyiwei.

Sun Liang, the master of Fang Prefecture, felt that the matter was a bit tricky and not easy to handle, so he thought about it and continued to speak.

Magistrate Fang thought for a while and then said: "Xia Yan's life experience is very innocent, without any stain, and he has no interaction with King Pingnan."

How dare he be rude now? He's not afraid of being turned around by these rugged men with arms that can run a horse!

"Sir Qianhu, I am an agent of the prefect's Yamen. I am here under the order of the prefect."

Xia Yan waved his hand nonchalantly, "Speak to Zuo Lengchan and tell him not to stop. Throw a dozen people out to cooperate."

"My subordinate is here."

"How is that possible!" Sun Liang didn't believe it.

Chen Jiu thought of some things that happened when Zhou Baichuan commanded the Jin Yiwei in the past, and said tentatively: "Arrest people and lock them in prison for a few days, and then release them."

Xia Yan did not answer, but looked at Chen Jiu, wanting to know his answer.

This is not a small return pill, it is their hope for promotion.

"There may be collusion between Jinyiwei and Pingnan Palace. Wouldn't it be bad if we asked them for help?"

"Chen Jiu."

Liu Qing was a little scared and a little confused. He barely stood there calmly, but he didn't dare to move.

The top ten will be rewarded with a small return pill!

Magistrate Fang closed his eyes and did not explain, because in his opinion, Xia Yan's rise was a complete accident.

"Yes, I will go back and report to the Lord."

Liu Qing bowed to Xia Yan with relief, and left without looking back. He even fell down halfway, causing all the imperial guards to laugh.

The corner of Xia Yan's mouth raised. The Jin Yiwei now at least looks a little more handsome.

Liu Qing stepped forward and briefly explained the merchant's complaint.

Liu Qing also felt shameless, got up and ran out in embarrassment.

It's really interesting.

Sun Liang hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Sir, last time the Jin Yiwei helped Prince Pingnan investigate the case of the Embroidery Thief."

I never thought that one day he would be like Jin Jiuling, shouting "Catch the thief"! Hahaha.

Liu Qing, the head catcher who came under orders from the prefecture's yamen, saw the Jinyiwei punching to the flesh and fighting without mercy, and understood why Sun Liang specifically told him to speak politely.

"My lord, what you mean is..."

"You should find someone to meet him and be polite. The Jin Yiwei now is very different from the past."

Magistrate Fang shook his head, "The King of Tibet is powerful, and I am stationed in Fuzhou to prevent the King of Tibetan from rebelling. If King Pingnan is involved, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."

But these merchants cannot know about this matter, otherwise the majesty of the prefect's Yamen will be lost.

This caused the Jin Yiwei present to kill their former colleagues.

"Your name is Liu Qing, right? You go and reply to the magistrate, and the Jin Yiwei will send someone to solve the matter."

"You are wrong, he is not an eunuch!" Magistrate Fang shook his head again.

If the prefect's Yamen dares to go against Xia Yan, it means going against him and the entire Jinyiwei.

He looked at Liu Qing with a somewhat unkind look, and the guards who followed Chen Jiu also came up behind him and looked at Liu Qing with an unkind look.

"Don't worry, everyone, I will find someone to handle this matter. You can go back and wait for news."

Xia Yan smiled, stood up and slapped her on the butt, "Women should stay out of men's affairs."

"This person rose to prominence because he got close to Xichang Yuhuatian, and later got acquainted with the emperor's attendant. Now Jane is in the emperor's heart!"

Chen Jiu was a little surprised. Is he going to arrest people and imprison them in prison?

Seeing their crazy looks, Xia Yan asked Xue Bing, Chen Jiu and others to take care of them to prevent any casualties.

"Sir, these gangs are not easy to deal with. I'm afraid no one in the Yamen can be their opponent."

Gongsun Sanniang and Jiang Qinglian snorted at the same time. They couldn't stand Xia Yan's actions, but they did not take any drastic action.

Chen Jiu responded loudly, greeted his subordinates and left.

"Send someone to find Jin Yiwei and ask them to take action to deal with these gangs."

Xue Bing walked to Xia Yan and asked with a smile: "Where did you get so many Xiaohuan Dan?"

Magistrate Fang stood up and left. Xia Yan's behavior last time made him confident that Jin Yiwei would help him handle this matter.

"Prince Pingnan's palace is heavily guarded and has recruited masters like Ye Gucheng, who can definitely help us put down the rebellion!"

The prefect's Yamen came to see him again and pushed the matter into his hands.

"Why did you come to see me?"

Sun Liang was also sensible, so he immediately arranged for manpower to go to Jinyi Guards Station to find Xia Yan.

"Chen Jiu, you heard what happened just now."

When people from the prefect's Yamen arrived at the Jinyi Guards Station, Xia Yan was watching the Jinyi Guards compete.

The group of merchants looked at each other, and they all responded wisely, thanked Magistrate Fang respectfully, and turned to leave.

Xia Yan smiled slightly and said, "You have scared the guests, let's continue the competition."

A flash of light flashed in Xia Yan's eyes. He knew that Zuo Lengchan's matter would definitely be hindered, but he didn't expect that these merchants would take action so quickly and jointly file a lawsuit with the prefect's Yamen.

Xia Yan laughed with satisfaction and handed over a bottle of Xiao Huan Dan, "After you finish this, practice hard for a while, and I will promote you to the general banner first."

Chen Jiu took the bottle and grinned, "I will definitely live up to your cultivation."

The entire Jinyi Guardhouse knows that Xia Yan is vigorously promoting talents, and Xiao Huan Dan is their capital to improve their strength and go further.

Chen Jiu looked back and said with a smile: "All my subordinates heard it."

"What do you decide to do?" Xia Yan intends to take the exam and is ready to hear Chen Jiu's answer.

Sun Liang was a little surprised, but he couldn't help but cursed, "Eunuch."

Xia Yan frowned slightly, wondering why Magistrate Fang sent someone here.

Chen Jiu knew that Zuo Lengchan was Xia Yan's man, and also knew about Xia Yan's plan.

Lin Pingzhi and others immediately started making noises. In their eyes, Xue Bing was Xia Yan's man sooner or later.

Xue Bing's face turned red all of a sudden, feeling embarrassed and annoyed.

She felt that Xia Yan seemed to be enlightened and would actually tease her.

What was annoying was that Xia Yan was in public and made it difficult for her to get off the stage.
