The strong man began to hesitate again and was speechless. He must be very scared. He didn't know who Xie Jue and Fang Chuning were. They had to get to the bottom of it. The more they behaved like this, the more Fang Chuning and Xie Jue felt that something was wrong. Something is wrong.

The government offices have their own set of operating rules. The towns and villages surrounding Pingnan County, with a population of about 10,000, are all under the jurisdiction of Pingnan County. Although the government offices have more than 100 government officials, they do not have too many people to manage them. question. It’s all because the government officials are all official servants, and the people are naturally afraid of official officials. We are all ordinary people working in agriculture and business. No one will go against the government officials. If the government officials want to wear small shoes for you, then you are almost in the county or village. If you can't survive, they can fine you under any pretext, and your life will definitely be difficult.

In small places, small county magistrates and government officials have very great power. This is different from Beijing, where there are all powerful people. No one will take Jing Zhaoyin seriously, and Jing Zhaoyin does not dare to offend. Common people, who knows who the big shot is behind a Buzhuang shopkeeper? The magistrate of Pingnan County has no need to protect this group of robbers unless there is a special reason.

Seeing that they were talking about him, Xie Jue lost his patience and gave Fang Chuning a wink. Fang Chuning stepped forward and knocked off the other leg of the strong man, causing the strong man to scream.

Xie Jue said calmly, "If you tell the truth and go to heal your injuries, you can still save these two legs. If you waste it here, you will only be able to use crutches in your life. These two legs are completely damaged." It’s useless.”

The strong man was so painful that he broke out in cold sweat. Fang Chuning couldn't stand it anymore, "Brother, what are you talking about? Your hands and feet are your own, why are you embarrassing yourself? This beauty has a heart of stone. If you don't say anything, he will ask me to pull it out." Take out your tongue, gouge out your eyes, please..."

"I said, I said..." The strong man couldn't stand the pressure anymore. Xie Jue looked like the King Yan would take his eyes and tongue.

"Gaoliang Village in the east of Pingnan County is rich and fertile. It was originally the county magistrate's land. Later, after the implementation of the New Deal, the county magistrate was unwilling to return the land and thought of a way. He lied about the population of nearby villages, hired them as tenant farmers, and rented out the land. They still took it as their own. But later the Northern Barbarians settled in Linjia Village next to Gaoliang Village, and the land was divided according to head. The county magistrate did not want the fat fields to be divided, and bullied the Northern Barbarians because they could not understand the language and divided the land according to households. Fields, not people, and all the land allocated to the Northern Barbarians were dry fields. The Northern Barbarians protested, but the county magistrate turned a blind eye because of the language barrier. Later, as time passed, the Northern Barbarians realized something was wrong. They were still a family of five, and others They had more fields than them, including paddy fields and dry fields. They went to the county town to protest. The county magistrate was afraid that things would get serious and could not let the government officials suppress the northern barbarians, so he could only... find nearby bandits and robbers and lure them with benefits. Go suppress the Northern Barbarians and kill a few of their leaders, and they will be honest. Who knows that the Northern Barbarians are bloody and have a rough temper? After the government office did nothing, they also found out that it was their conspiracy. They often resisted, and the government office We, the robbers, need to suppress them so that they can protect us.”

Xie Jue and Fang Chuning were both furious after hearing this. No wonder the government treated them so perfunctorily and even let the robbers know their whereabouts. No wonder the people of Shiling Town did not dare to mess with this group of robbers. The officials and robbers colluded. This group of robbers They do these dirty and tiring jobs for the government, and they also provoke conflicts between the northern barbarians and the Beining people. If it is really caused by the hatred between the two sides, and the government works hard to adjust and deal with it fairly, the people will naturally be convinced. If the government is doing this for the sake of the land, If the Beining people and the Beibei barbarians deliberately provoke conflicts and interests, there will be no day when the Beining people and the Beibei barbarians can shake hands and make peace.

Speaking of political leadership and people-friendly people, it is just a naive fantasy of those in power. There are always places in this world where filth and evil practices hide and where the sun cannot shine.

"Tell me one by one what the government asked you to do!" Xie Jue said in a deep voice. He wanted to know what grievances were hidden in this small Pingnan County.

"Who are you?" The strong man is not stupid. He can be a thug of the government and has the blessing of the government. He is a smart man in his own right. Xie Jue and Fang Chuning have extraordinary personalities. "Don't care who he is, tell him everything you know, and you can still win leniency!"

Lin Heli will send people to cities and counties for private visits to understand the implementation of local decrees and the performance of officials. Xie Jue can wait until that day to deal with it, but now that he knows, he will not sit idly by and ignore it. It concerns the Northern Barbarians.

Later, during the conflict with the northern barbarians, his family's land was taken away, so he became a bandit. He also hated the northern barbarians, so he was willing to be a lackey of the government government, specializing in doing things that the government government could not conveniently do. thing.

He didn't expect that he would be kicked into trouble. Xie Jue's identity was never revealed, but he let them go and let him go to Pingnan County for treatment. Gao Bao is a smart man, and he guessed it by looking at the temperament of Xie Jue and Fang Chuning. Their status must be much higher than that of the county magistrate, and he did not dare to offend them, so he quickly sent people to return the stolen property to Pingnan County.

"Where's my jade pendant?" Xie Jue looked through the returned belongings, but couldn't find his jade pendant, and his face darkened.
