Martial arts long journey

Chapter 392

Although Zhou Yan's questioning voice was not very loud, but after it fell into the ears of Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji and the other five criminals, it was like a thunderstorm on the ground, causing the five of them to stare deep in their eyes. All of them had a look of horror.

Fortunately, the five of them, Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji, were quite calm and did not show anything on the surface.

If you want to ask what major events happened in Laizhou Prefecture during this period, it is natural that the five of them secretly withholding taxes from Laizhou Prefecture is the most important.

However, in the territory of the Iron Blood Guard in Zhongzhou, withholding taxes secretly is a felony that may lose one's head. How could the five of them, Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji, tell Zhou Yan about it?

Hua Mingde stepped forward slowly, clasped his fists and said to Zhou Yan: "My lord, although the Laizhou mansion lacks criminal officers during this period of time, thanks to the powerful momentum of our Zhongzhou iron and blood guards, Laizhou However, the mansion has been calm and calm, and nothing unusual happened."

At present, the follow-up of withholding taxes has not been properly dealt with, Hua Mingde is naturally unwilling to attract Zhou Yan's attention, but now he is trying to prevaricate Zhou Yan temporarily, and delay it for the time being.

After arriving for the first time, Zhou Yan didn't know much about the situation within the boundaries of Laizhou Prefecture, so he didn't have any doubts about Hua Mingde's answer.

However, the area under the rule of Laizhou Prefecture is not small after all, and Hua Mingde is only in charge of a part of it.

The rest are divided into the hands of Fan Liangji and his four criminals, so Zhou Yan still needs to ask them about the situation under the four of them.

Looking slowly, Zhou Yan looked at Fan Liangji and the four of them one by one, and said in a calm voice, "Where are you four? Has anything happened during this time?"

Hearing Zhou Yan's inquiry, Fan Liangji and the four of them hesitated for a while, and then the four of them handed over their hands and reported: "Returning to my lord, it is also calm here, and nothing happened. !"

Between Fan Liangji and his four criminal officials and Hua Mingde, they had originally conspired to hold back part of the Laizhou government's taxes, and the five of them had just reached a consensus, and now it is a relationship where all are prosperous and all are hurt.

Therefore, after hearing Hua Mingde's report, Fan Liangji and the four of them also stood in the same camp as Hua Mingde, and together they chose to evade Zhou Yan's inquiry.

However, precisely because of this, Zhou Yan secretly had some doubts in his heart.

This Laizhou Prefecture is located between the two countries and three places, among which there is an endless stream of caravans traveling between Qi, Jin and Zhongzhou, which makes the territory of Laizhou Prefecture mixed with good and bad people, with people from all walks of life.

Even though it was because of the tyrannical strength of the Zhongzhou iron and blood guards that these people were so frightened that they did not dare to cause any trouble in the Laizhou mansion, those small frictions were absolutely unavoidable.

However, at this moment, it has been more than a year in the Laizhou Prefecture, and there is no criminal officer in the Zhoutian realm, so how can it be possible that nothing happened in the Laizhou Prefecture?How could Zhou Yan believe this?

Of course, the most important point is that the five criminals, Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji, made Zhou Yan feel a little too united.

As a superior, if the people under his command are too united, it is actually not a good thing.

Because it is easy to cause the subordinates to collude, deceive the superior and the inferior, and may even be completely emptied of power by the subordinates.

Of course, for Zhou Yan, it was impossible for such an empty thing to happen.

Zhou Yan, whose martial arts cultivation has reached the level of Tongxuan and Determination, if he can be taken away by five criminals who are in the level of stellar energy, what face does he have to be the envoy of the law, so he should find a remote place and live in the mountains as soon as possible.

Moreover, Zhou Yan knew very well in his heart that since the five of Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji were able to occupy the positions of criminal officials of the Department of Punishment, then the five of them were definitely not stupid people.

Even if Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji are the five of them who have a fierce heart and a leopard's courage, the five of them dare not even think about such a thing.

But now that the five of them, Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji, are united in such a tacit understanding, in Zhou Yankai, there must be a connection among them, which may be a common interest or a mutual handle.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yan couldn't help but feel a cold light that no one could detect in the depths of his eyes, but there was nothing showing on his surface.

Although he had some guesses in his heart, Zhou Yan didn't have any evidence on hand, so he couldn't directly attack Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji.

The corners of Zhou Yan's mouth slowly curled up into a smile that was not a smile. He gave Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji a meaningful look, and then said in a calm voice, "It's good that the weather is calm and the sea is calm. The seat doesn't have to clean up any mess anymore, but the seat can be a lot easier!
Alright, there's nothing else to do here, everyone, please do your own thing! "

Hearing Zhou Yan's voice in his ears, Hua Mingde couldn't help but be overjoyed in his heart, but his expression on the surface was still very respectful, he cupped his fists and bowed deeply to Zhou Yan: "If your lord, you don't If there are other matters, then the subordinate will leave first."

If people who don't know the inside story look at it, maybe they will regard Hua Mingde as an extremely loyal subordinate of Zhou Yan.

"Go down!"

His eyes slowly turned to Hua Mingde's body, Zhou Yan waved his hands casually, and said in a flat voice.

"Subordinates retire!"

After bowing again to Zhou Yan and saluting, Hua Mingde bowed and slowly exited the main hall of the Laizhou Prefecture Execution Division.

As for Fan Liangji, Lu Fang, Xue Liang, and Gao Wensong, when they saw Hua Mingde backing away, the four of them couldn't help but look at each other first, and then they also waved their hands and said goodbye in unison.

After seeing the figures of Hua Mingde and Fan Liangji disappear completely, Zhou Yan couldn't help showing a strange look in the depths of his eyes. Let's take a look, what is the reason for the five of you to be so gangster!"

With that said, he got up and walked out of the Laizhou government office.
