The Record of Righteousness

Let's talk about the fire that burned Gaoliu Town, and the southern merchants and townspeople were massacred indiscriminately by the officers and soldiers.

The chief of Gaoliu Town thought that bandits were coming and was frightened.

He hurriedly took advantage of the chaos and escaped with his whole family. At the same time, he met a few surviving gentry and southern businessmen. He ran to Huai'an City to complain to the officials at starry night.

There are only three to five hundred bandits, but they dare to attack and kill a large town with a thousand people.

The prefect of Huai'an has always received the filial piety of many southern merchants. Now that the bandits are burning, killing, looting and occupying the market town in Gaoliu Town, it is equivalent to cutting off his own financial path.

How could he not be angry after learning about this?

He immediately took action and discussed with the city's garrison to send a thousand troops to Gaoliu Town to suppress the bandits.

Thousands of officers and soldiers marched at full speed, marching under starry night, and within two days' journey, they had already surrounded Gaoliu Town.

At this time, half of Gaoliu Town was in ruins, and thick smoke was still billowing into the sky.

The dirt business road filled with sand and rocks was littered with corpses of all kinds, old and young, and it was too horrible to look at.

Rows of people were seen kneeling in the distance. The group of bandits stood behind them. The swords in their hands fell down in two breaths, and they chopped off the heads of more than ten people at a time.

The plump body of the Huai'an magistrate turned over and dismounted, and was really shocked when he saw this scene of hell.

He was surprised and thought:

Could these people be... the White Lotus Sect? ! !

But why did the White Lotus Sect cut off this food route?

This approach is tantamount to self-destruction!

Even if it is not the White Lotus Sect, other than this cult, who else slaughters cities and villages at every turn?

The bandits also saw clearly the arrival of the officers and soldiers, but did not run away. They still calmly executed the people or businessmen, killing people for fun without fear.

The prefect was surrounded by officers and soldiers.

"That thief!"

"I am the magistrate of Huai'an. You have gone against the grain and committed such a heinous crime, harming the laws of nature and destroying humanity. You are really a beast among beasts!"

"If you obediently surrender at this time, I will consider leaving you with a whole corpse! Otherwise, don't blame me for having murderous intentions and leaving you dead on the spot."

"Wait!"

"Are you the prefect of Huai'an?!"

But he saw a thieves dressed as a farmer walking slowly ahead, followed by a dozen gangsters.

The thief leader wore a bamboo hat on his head, had a yellow complexion and no beard. He was about twenty years old. He had no blade in his hands and walked over with a smile.

When the prefect saw this person, he felt that he looked familiar. He couldn't think of this person's name, but he had never met this person before.

Immediately he shouted sharply:

"I am the prefect of Huai'an. How dare you, a thief like you, question me?!"

Wan Qing also saw that the visitor looked familiar. After sizing up the plump official, he narrowed his eyes, but within two breaths he remembered who this person was.

He took out a Jin Cheng token and shouted:

"I am a member of the 100 households in Dongchang, Wanqing is the same!"

"The mayor of Gaoliu Town, together with the southern merchants, has been colluding with the White Lotus Sect for many years, and each time they traffic in grain and grass, they can't sell less than 10,000 shi!"

"Now I am here to encircle and suppress you on the orders of the Lord Supervisor of the Shandong Army!"

Wan Qing pointed at the chief and a few squires who were hiding behind the prefect, then turned around and stared directly at the prefect, half-smiling but not smiling:

"Why is the prefect of Huai'an now willing to act as a backer for these rebellious people despite knowing and breaking the law?"

"Could it be that she is having an affair with Bai Lian's traitor?"

The prefect's pair of beetle eyes were fixed on the token.

After hearing the eunuch's unique voice, my heart suddenly trembled and I broke into a cold sweat.

But the six characters above, "One Hundred Households in Dongchang" cannot be faked.

The fat magistrate's fat face trembled, he calmed down his mind, and in the blink of an eye he put on a smile, then bowed his waist and bowed, went up to greet him and said with a smile:

"Oh, it turns out to be Dongchang's father-in-law. This is not because the flood has washed away the Dragon King Temple."

"Huang Zunzhu, the magistrate of Huai'an! I have eyes that don't recognize Mount Tai, but I have seen my father-in-law!"

Huang Zunzhu, the county magistrate who hadn't seen him for many years, met by chance today and turned out to be a magistrate of a wealthy prefecture. His figure was twice as fat as before.

Although the rank of the hundreds of households in Dongchang is equivalent to that of the prefect, Dongchang obeys the emperor's orders.

The official status of a small Dongchang Hundred Households is not very high. If you insist that Huang Zunzhu colludes with the White Lotus Sect, it will be a big trouble for him.

Huang Zunzhu thought of the answer in a flash and said with a smile:

"My father-in-law is joking, how dare I collude with the White Lotus Sect?"

"The chief of Gaoliu Town reported to Xianguan that thieves had captured the market town. Xianguan really cared about the people, so he led his troops to come."

"But I don't know that the chief here is a traitor that my father-in-law wanted to investigate. He actually insulted all the members of the imperial court as thieves. He is really worthy of death!"

Wan Qing chuckled and said:

"Oh? That's it. So, the squires of Gaoliu Town colluded with Bai Lian to rebel against the party under your nose, the prefect, but you didn't even know about it?"

"Such dereliction of duty is really an act of neglecting one's parents."

"this"

Huang Zunzhu didn't expect that the eunuch's mind would turn so fast and his words would be so aggressive.

He gritted his teeth, feeling that he could only bleed, and whispered:

"If my father-in-law has time at this time, you can come to the official residence and talk to me. I will give you some gold!"

Unexpectedly, the father-in-law did not give him any face, and snorted coldly in front of everyone:

"Prefect Huang wants to bribe our family, so the crime will be increased!"

Huang Zunzhu was slapped in the face in public, his face turned red and he stopped talking.

What's more, they are confused that this father-in-law is not here to collect benefits and bribes. It is really strange.

Wan Qing pointed to the nervous chief and ordered his subordinates:

"Catch these rebels and interrogate them thoroughly to see who else they are!"

"Yes!"

The head of the village and the other gentry were terrified, staring and dancing, and hurriedly shouted to Huang Zunzhu:

"Sir Huang, I am innocent and have been wronged!"

"Sir Huang, please plead for us!"

A dozen soldiers dressed as farmers rushed into the group of soldiers and wanted to pull out the crying gentry and the head of the village.

The group of soldiers in official uniforms and armor were stunned in place, not knowing what to do. This scene was really against the will of heaven.

Huang Zunzhu was ruthless, waved his hand, and shouted:

"Wait!"

If these people were caught by the East Factory, they would not be able to survive two punishments, and they would probably give him up by then!

Wan Qing said coldly:

"What? Prefect Huang wants to resist the law and obstruct it?"

"No, no."

"This case happened in Huai'an. As the prefect's parent official, I should take these people away and hand them over to the prefect's office for judgment."

"Come on, take these people away and take them back to the prefect's office!"

"Yes!!"

The soldiers wanted to rob people, but they heard Wan Qing's cold roar. The internal force burst out and pounced on the faces of the soldiers, and the latter's body was shaky.

"Who dares?!"

"Behead first and report later, the imperial power has granted. Let's see who dares to move a little bit, and whose life is the toughest?"

"We will catch these people today!!!"
