I don't want to fight anymore

Chapter 390 has nothing to do with it.

Because only the people in Shanyun County can buy cheap salt, everyone is very wary of outsiders. Whenever they see a strange face, they are very vigilant, for fear that someone will think about their salt.

This led to the failure of the people sent by the neighboring county to inquire about the news, and one of them was almost caught and sent to the county government.It took a long time to figure out where the salt in Shanyun County came from. As for Wen Jiuxiao's origin, he only knew that he came from the capital, and his family was very powerful.

However, when he was frustrated, he made a mistake and unraveled the mystery of the bandits' extermination.

Didn't Wen Jiuxiao set up two bandit dens when he first arrived in Shanyun County?It took more than two months for the local government to find out that the bandits on the mountain under their jurisdiction were gone, and they were very shocked.The county magistrate personally took people up the mountain to check it out. The inside was empty, with a layer of dust on the bench with a broken leg that fell on the ground, and the door and window frames were covered with cobwebs, as if no one had been there for a long time.

Where are the bandits?Where did it go?Changed place?not like.

If you look closely, you can still see dark red or even black blood in some places.

Did they fight against each other, or did the two bandits fight each other?So it's not like there's no one left, right?

The county magistrate also thought about whether he would be dealt with if he encountered a hard problem, but many of them denied it himself.There were hundreds of bandits on these two mountains, and the passing caravans were not so capable of cleaning them up. Even if there were, he couldn't have been unaware of such a big movement.

The bandits in Shachi County, thanks to the inn, found that the inn was empty after more than half a month, and the shopkeeper and the clerk were missing. They thought it was strange, and told it as something new, and then spread it to the county government .

Good guy, the bandits they've been investigating for a long time are all in Shanyun County, and they're opening up wasteland there wearing shackles.

This Lord Xiaowen is really capable, he has only been in Shanyun County for half a year, and he has made such achievements, he really deserves to be a child of an aristocratic family!

Fan Huailiang smiled, looked at Wen Jiuxiao, and said, "Lord Xiao Wen is indeed a young talent. He has managed Shanyun County in an orderly manner in just half a year after taking office. I am very relieved."

What moved Fan Huailiang even more was that Wen Jiuxiao knew how to be a man. His family is a marquis, and he has made political achievements and some are well-known in the world. He can completely bypass his own superiority.

A group of 52 people all rode horses and went straight to the state capital with a murderous look.

However, Mr. Ren Xiaowen reported such a great achievement to him in a document, and asked him to write a note to report to the court. It is obvious that this is to share the credit with him.Who doesn't like such subordinates?

Fan Huailiang nodded slightly, "Lord Xiaowen is here." Glancing at the others, he introduced, "These are Magistrate Qu of Shachi County, Magistrate Qin of Hekou County, Magistrate Li of Linfeng County, oh, these It's Lord Xiaowen from Shanyun County, we are colleagues, let's get to know each other."

Wen Jiuxiao had been on guard for a long time. When there were some strangers in Shanyun County who were secretly probing for news, he sent someone to deliver documents to the prefect Fan Huailiang, accompanied by two carts of refined salt.

But the complexions of those people were even worse. None of them were fools. From the attitude of the prefect and his introduction, we can see his bias.

As soon as he arrived at the government office, everyone was stunned.The servant's mouth was wide open, "Shan, from Shanyun County?" When did Shanyun County become so prestigious?The original Lan county magistrate of Shanyun County rode a donkey at most, without even an entourage, and came to the state capital alone.

Although Fan Huailiang was on the top, he didn't want to offend Wen Jiuxiao.One is that Wen Jiuxiao just gave him his political achievements, so he has a good impression of him.Second, knowing that Wen Jiuxiao has a backer, he doesn't want to and dare not offend him.

Looking at the promotion of cheap salt in Shanyun County written in the document, Fan Huailiang didn't think it was a problem at all.Master Xiao Wen was born in a wealthy family, so naturally he doesn't lack money, what he lacks is fame.People are willing to sympathize with the people in order to obtain a good official reputation, what is there to question?
With Wen Jiuxiao's document in front, Fan Huailiang really didn't take it to heart when the county magistrates jointly filed a lawsuit.He still complains in his heart that they have too many things to do, and they have the ability to make political achievements so that the people under the rule can live a good life, and they are jealous of others' ability, what is this?
Besides, wouldn't it be good for them to help you suppress the bandits?You didn't even ask you for the money to suppress the bandits, and you still blame others for meddling in their own business?Those bandits have harmed many innocent people and caravans. After so many years, you are suppressing bandits!

It has been more than half a year, and the money is almost earned, and the method of drying salt in sea water should be reported, and the timing is just right now.

But on the surface, he can't be too partial, and he said, "Is there some misunderstanding?"

These tall horses, don't they have so many horses in the state capital?
Those county magistrates who filed the complaint were also very surprised. This is the county magistrate of Shanyun County?This is too... Oops, a random glance from those unfathomable eyes can make people feel flustered.The coercion of this body is even more terrifying than that of the magistrate!

Wen Jiuxiao was also very face-saving, and left for Fucheng after receiving the news.In addition to Zhuo Zhengyang, he also brought a 50-member guard.

The county magistrates were furious, and secretly scolded Wen Jiuxiao that he was not a good person, that it was all right for you to get cheap salt, but he actually extended his hand to other people's jurisdiction, isn't this meddling in the government affairs of other counties?

This tone of provocation is unbearable, absolutely unbearable.Together, several people reported Wen Jiuxiao viciously to the magistrate.

Atmospheric, open-minded, capable!
What's more, they also sent two carts of refined salt, one for him and the other for him to send to the capital.It’s not enough to rely on memorabilia, there must be physical evidence!

Think he doesn't know their thoughts?Isn't it just greedy for the gold and silver treasures that Mr. Xiaowen took away from the bandit's lair?That's someone else's spoils of war. He, the magistrate, isn't jealous yet. Why are you jealous?

Regardless of what you think in your heart, you still have to do superficial work.Several people bowed their hands to each other and greeted each other.

Officials and gangsters colluded, they must be familiar with each other, wouldn't they be recognized?

Fan Huailiang was overjoyed after reading Wen Jiuxiao's paperwork!What a credit it is to dry the salt in sea water!It is not an exaggeration to say "Great work in the present, benefit in the future".Although he didn't do it, Wen Jiuxiao is an official under his jurisdiction. Shanyun County has made achievements, and he, the Shangfeng, also has political achievements.

Fan Huailiang had no choice but to ask Wen Jiuxiao to come over to resolve the misunderstanding together.

Qu Yuhe and the others knew the details of the inn and sent people to check. Not only was the inn empty, but even the bandits on the mountain were gone.As for why it didn't, I haven't found any clues for several months.

The unsolved case is finally solved!

Several county magistrates spoke with certainty, and insisted that it was true. They all wanted to ask for an explanation, and asked the magistrate to uphold justice.

"I've seen you, my lord." Wen Jiuxiao cupped his hands.

Half of the guards were people he brought from Beijing, and half were recruited locally in Shanyun County, including Zhai Yougui and Zhang Xunjian.In Wen Jiuxiao's words, he took them to see the world and learn a lot.

It is only said that this person is from the capital, what is his background?Some people retreated in their hearts, but they filed a lawsuit, and it was difficult to ride a tiger, and their faces were very ugly.

Wen Jiuxiao said humbly: "Your Excellency has praised you. It's because you have a good leader. I'm still far from being an official."

Fan Huailiang laughed, knowing that the words were polite, but he was still very happy, Mr. Xiaowen is too modest, too good at talking.

After laughing, he looked at Wen Jiuxiao with even more admiration, "Young people are awesome, young people are awesome! I called everyone here today to clear up a misunderstanding." He coughed lightly, "Master Qu and the others said that you, Lord Xiaowen, ran under them without authorization. Jurisdiction to suppress bandits, is there such a thing?"

Wen Jiuxiao didn't hesitate at all, "Return to your lord, there is no such thing." He said firmly.
