Three Kingdoms: Plundering Entries, From Merchants to Emperors

Han Xuan lost his confidence when Zhang Chen asked him this.

However, the Huang family was just an excuse. Han Xuan had already made up his mind. No matter how Zhang Chen defended himself, he would just kill him and seize the Huang family's property.

He didn't believe that a small county magistrate could make any waves in front of him, a high-ranking official from Beijing!

In this way, he could justifiably confiscate all his property.

He had already investigated clearly that the Zhang family was originally a wealthy businessman in Guangping. After overthrowing the Huang family, their business was in full swing, and now they have accumulated a lot of wealth.

This Zhang Chen is a fat sheep!

At that moment, Han Xuan slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Bold Zhang Chen, the facts are all there, how can you refute! I am ordered by the emperor to inspect the counties, and the court wants to dismiss corrupt officials like you!"

Seeing Han Xuan suddenly attack, Zhang Chen simply stopped pretending. His face darkened and he said coldly: "Sir, are you trying to call a deer a horse and confuse right and wrong?"

"Hmph, if you have anything to say, follow me back to the capital and go to the Supreme Court! General Pan, arrest this traitor and take him back to Luoyang for questioning!"

Han Xuan gave an order, but Pan Feng frowned.

Although he had no good feelings for Zhang Chen, you didn't show any evidence just now? How can you convince the public if you want to arrest him without asking any questions?

So, Pan Feng hurriedly said: "Sir, this matter has not been verified yet. It may be inappropriate to arrest someone rashly."

"Inappropriate? What's inappropriate! This sir now orders you to arrest him immediately!"

"Sir! Please think twice!"

"Pan Feng! You are just a servant of my Han family. How dare you disobey my order?"

As soon as these words came out, Pan Feng's face flushed.

In terms of identity, he was born in a humble family. Although he was called a vassal, he was actually no different from a slave.

However, Han Fu was always kind and treated him very well on weekdays, and never treated him as a slave.

It was precisely because of this that Pan Feng was loyal to Han Fu.

But this Han Xuan, Pan Feng really hated from the bottom of his heart. But he was still a member of the Han family. Since Han Fu entrusted him, how could he not serve him wholeheartedly?

At that moment, Pan Feng sighed and said to Zhang Chen: "Master Zhang, please forgive me for my rudeness!"

Seeing this, Gao Shun on the side took a step forward and stood in front of Zhang Chen, with a cold look in his eyes, saying: "Gao Shun is here, who dares to be presumptuous?"

"How dare you! You... want to rebel? Come on! Come on!" Han Xuan was furious when he saw Gao Shun's murderous look and wanted to resist.

Han Xuan shouted for a long time, but no one came in.

He was used to being domineering and thought that he was carrying the emperor's order and was a senior official from Beijing, and the local government would respect his orders. Who knew that this county government was Zhang Chen's territory, not to mention that the officials in the yard had been replaced by loyal and fearless soldiers of the Xianzhen Camp!

Things have come to this point, and it is meaningless to pretend any longer.

Zhang Chen's face darkened, and he snorted coldly: "Sir, since you don't want to drink toasts, you can only drink punishment wine. Come!"

Zhang Chen shouted sternly, and more than a dozen "policemen" rushed in from outside the door, each with a cold face and murderous eyes.

The policemen drew their swords and surrounded Han Xuan and Pan Feng.

Han Xuan was terrified and said hurriedly: "You...what are you going to do!"

Pan Feng saw that the situation was not good, and was about to take action, but Gao Shun on the side was quick-witted and rushed up and pressed his shoulder.

Pan Feng only felt that the other party's hand was very strong, and he struggled to resist, but it was difficult to break free.

Pan Feng couldn't help but be secretly shocked. He thought that his martial arts were not weak, but he didn't expect that a county lieutenant in this remote county would have such martial arts!

Zhang Chen first came to Pan Feng, clasped his fists and said, "General Pan, I know you are an upright person and will not go along with this thief. I will let you down for a while. I will come to apologize to you after I deal with this thief."

After that, Zhang Chen waved his hand and said, "Take General Pan away and serve him well. Don't neglect him."

"Master Zhang, don't be impulsive!" Pan Feng shouted repeatedly, but was already dragged out of the door by Gao Shun.

Han Xuan saw this and felt worried. He lost his arrogance and said tremblingly, "Master Zhang...Master Zhang, let's talk it over, let's talk it over..."

"Let's talk it over?" Zhang Chen sneered, walked closer, and took out the 100 taels of gold from his arms.

"Just now I wanted to talk to you, but you are too arrogant and look down on us small officials from the remote countryside. Since you insist on making things difficult for me, I have no choice but to offend you!"

After Zhang Chen finished speaking, he immediately ordered, "Come on, tie this guy up at the gate of the county government office and bring a whip dipped in water!"

...

Soon, a crowd of onlookers gathered at the gate of the county government office.

HanXuan was tied to a stone lion at the entrance of the county government office, with dozens of whip marks on his body, which was horrible to look at.

A sturdy policeman rolled up his sleeves and stood by with a whip in his hand.

Han Xuan kept wailing and crying for help, but the people around him pointed and even threw stones and rotten vegetable leaves at him from time to time.

At the entrance on the other side of the county government office, there was a table, and Zhang Chen was sitting there at the moment.

Zhang Chen took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, and angrily scolded Han Xuan: "You traitor, as a noble family, you have been fed by the Han Dynasty for generations, you should be selfless and loyal to the emperor. Now you are carrying the emperor's order, but you don't think about repaying the grace of heaven and caring for the people. Instead, you openly ask for bribes from this county! Ask the people in the city, since taking office, this county has not harmed the people, how can there be extra money to bribe you!"

"That's right, the county magistrate cares about the people, you dog official, yesterday asked us to fabricate charges and frame the magistrate, you really deserve to be killed!"

"Beat him to death! Beat him to death!"

The messenger heard the words, "Pa Pa", and two more whips were thrown out.

Han Xuan immediately screamed like a pig being slaughtered again

"Master Zhang...Master Zhang, spare my life!"

Zhang Chen said calmly: "I didn't want to cause trouble, but you are greedy and keep forcing me. You also fabricated charges and colluded with Huang to murder me. How can I tolerate you today!"

"Master, misunderstanding, this is all misunderstanding, it's... it's Huang, it's that bitch who maliciously framed me, I... I was not careful for a moment and was deceived by her!"

Seeing that the time was almost right, Zhang Chen slightly side-eyed and winked at Ju Su who was standing aside.

It's okay to teach him a lesson, after all, you can't kill him on your own territory.

Ju Su immediately understood and hurried forward and said, "Sir, calm down. If you continue to fight, Lord Han's life may be in danger."

"Hmph! Forget it! For the sake of the county magistrate, I will spare your life today. I advise you to reflect on yourself. If you are still stubborn, don't blame me for being ruthless next time!"

Zhang Chen snorted coldly and said to his left and right, "Untie Lord Han and send him to the clinic for treatment. After he recovers, expel him from Guangping!"

"Yes."

The two messengers took the order, untied the ropes on Han Xuan, lifted him up on the left and right, and went straight to the clinic.

The matter came to an end, and the surrounding people also retreated.

Ju Su quietly stepped forward and asked, "My lord, what should we do with Huang?"

Zhang Chen said coldly, "I was soft-hearted for a while, but it sowed the seeds of disaster. Order to take back all the land of the Huang family, release Huang, and expel his family from the city!"
