Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

"Disposer, is it wrong to issue the imperial edict? Fan Xinli has made such great contributions, why should he be taken to the capital for questioning?" the deputy general asked in confusion.

Qiu Shenji glanced at him, stroking his beard and smiling broadly.

"You don't understand this. Li Chong's case involves the struggle between King Zong surnamed Li and Empress Dowager Wu."

"The greater Fan Xin's contribution, the more it appears that Empress Dowager Wu is incapable of governing the country. Even a small rebellion has to be put down by the local county magistrate."

"Where do you want to put the dignity of the empress dowager of a country?"

The lieutenant suddenly realized, and then he cupped his fists with admiration.

"The Disposer deserves to be trusted by the Empress Dowager. This opinion is really sophisticated. What do you think will happen to these two people when they are taken to the capital?"

Qiu Shenji smiled calmly: "Based on my years of experience, Li Chong will definitely die regardless of whether he hands over the blood list."

"It is impossible for Empress Dowager Wu to let people who oppose her live, and the same is true for Xu Jingye and King Luo Bin."

"As for Fan Xin..." Qiu Shenji felt extremely happy when he mentioned this name.

"His fate won't be much better. I'm afraid he will be imprisoned in Dali Temple under the order of the Queen Mother when he arrives in Luoyang."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Qiu Shenji flicked his sleeves.

"Okay, it's time for us to read the Queen Mother's decree to Fan Xin."

……

On the west hillside.

White flags were fluttering, and there were many figures. After laying the little fairy to rest with his own hands, Fan Xin turned around and walked towards the city.

A long way away, Warden Zhou waved loudly: "County Magistrate Fan, the imperial court has sent orders, and we are waiting for you at the gate of the county government office!"

After hearing these words, the people present were sincerely happy for Fan Xin.

"Great, Magistrate Fan is finally waiting for a reward from the court."

"In my opinion, after making such a great contribution, you should be promoted to the sixth rank."

"Nonsense. Defending the city is an astonishing achievement. According to the court rules, you must be promoted to at least two levels in a row." Mr. Wu paused and reminded everyone.

In the midst of everyone's discussion, Lin Tie clenched his fist at Fan Xin.

"Congratulations to Mingfu for your hard work and success."

Facing Lin Tie's congratulations, Fan Xin smiled slightly and sighed.

"What I am today is all because of the help of my brothers who sacrificed their lives. After Li Chong is interrogated in a few days, I will return Yongye Field to you, which will fulfill the brothers' wishes."

"Thank you so much, Magistrate Fan!"

When we returned to the city, the rain became heavier and heavier. In the heavy rain, hundreds of soldiers in armor stood at the gate of the county government office. Qiu Shenji stood in the middle with a sneer.

"Magistrate Fan, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon."

Finding out that the person delivering the order was Qiu Shenji, Fan Xinxin had a bad feeling for some reason.

As if he knew what he was thinking, Qiu Shenji snorted disdainfully.

"Don't worry, I have been reassigned from Qingpingdao Marching Chief to Bozhou Disposal Envoy. I will not use the army to solve the problem like you did."

After saying that, he opened the golden imperial edict with a snap.

"Wushui County Magistrate Fan Xin listens to the order!"

"My lord, Fan Xin, listen to the order!" Fan Xin took off his official uniform and knelt in the puddle.

Qiu Shenji glanced at him, cleared his throat and said loudly.

"My sect, Haotian has a destiny, Empress Wu has a saying, now that I heard about the changes in Bozhou, I and the emperor dare to be outraged."

"Therefore, we hereby order the former chief marching officer of Qingping Road to serve as the envoy to Bozhou, and Xiao Shude as the deputy envoy. He will immediately go to Bozhou to escort Li Chong to the capital. The magistrate of Wushui County will accompany him. This is your order!"

There was a loud bang in the head.

Fan Xin froze in place, looking at Qiu Shenji in disbelief.

The smile on his face had long since disappeared, and a surge of anger burned fiercely in his chest.

He never dreamed that a bloody battle that lasted for several days would end up like this.

Angry, bored, frustrated...

One by one, they flashed through his mind.

Qiu Shenji had been observing Fan Xin and saw him lowering his head, clenching his fists, and feeling as happy as if he had drunk a sweet spring.

After closing the imperial edict, Qiu Shenji waved to the soldiers on both sides.

"Come on, put Fan Xin into a prison car and take him to Luoyang with Li Chong!"

"Yes!" Several soldiers walked toward Fan Xin with fists in hand.

Just when they were about to grab their arms, a thin figure stood in front of them and said with a cold voice.

"Anyone who dares to touch my young master will die!"

Several soldiers snorted coldly and divided their troops into three groups to attack Liu Zi.

The speed is so fast that most people cannot react at all.

Unfortunately, what they met was Liuzi, a mysterious master who was good at using an eighty-pound copper hammer, who had never done anything before.

He grabbed the arm of the soldier on the road and swept several invading enemies to the ground like a wheel hammer.

Seeing this, the surrounding soldiers drew their swords and surrounded him.

At the critical moment, the people who were watching became angry. Thousands of people rushed to the Yamen, cursing the court for being shameless.

They originally thought that the imperial court issued a decree to reward him, but they did not expect that Magistrate Fan was to be taken to Luoyang.

Now everyone quits!

It's fine if the court doesn't arrest corrupt officials, but now it wants to take away Fan Qingtian, who loves the people like a son. Is this still justified?

Lin Tie was also extremely angry and immediately ordered his sergeants to block various intersections to prevent the letter from being taken away.

Seeing these people ignoring the imperial edict, Qiu Shenji was so angry that his voice became shrill.

"Okay, you unscrupulous people dare to besiege even the supervising ministers of the imperial court. Are you going to rebel?"

"Come here, quickly put Fan Xin into a prison car and take him away!"

The soldiers shouted and took a step forward with their swords in hand.

The common people did their part and took a step forward to confront the soldiers.

The gray-haired Mr. Wu stepped forward with a cane and said calmly to the people.

"Folks, Fan Qingtian did not hesitate to block the city gate himself in order to leave a way for everyone to survive. Do you think we can allow him to be taken away?"

"cannot!"

"cannot!"

The people looked angry and waved their hoes and roared in unison.

"What are you doing, you bunch of unruly people? I am the disposer sent by the imperial court!"

Looking at the people walking towards him, Qiu Shenji took two steps back in fear, sat down on the ground, and broke out in cold sweat.

He never expected that his life would be in danger if he delivered the imperial edict.

If I had known that Fan Xin had such a high reputation in the hearts of the people, he would not have come to the county government office at all.

Just when Qiu Shenji and others were forced to tremble in a corner, a tall figure pushed through the crowd and walked to the steps.

"Fan Qingtian, you?" The people stopped and looked puzzled.

Looking over these people, Fan Xin said with a pleased expression.

"Everyone, please disperse. It is a serious crime to besiege the supervising ministers of the imperial court. We in Wushui County cannot bear this crime."

Mr. Wu slapped the cane hard and said with a sad and angry expression.

"Fan Qingtian, for your great contribution, instead of giving you a reward, the court even sent you to Luoyang."

"The folks are so panicked!" Speaking of his anger, the old man beat his chest loudly.

"Yes, Fan Qingtian, you can't be taken away like this!" the people shouted loudly.

Fan Xin wiped the corners of his eyes and cursed with a smile: "If you don't leave, do you want me to be kept in the rain?
