Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Chapter 143 No money, I will demolish your home
Li Ji is here.

Come with his children.

With his arrival, an army of a thousand men stayed outside.

"Captain Li?!"

Cui Yuanting and others were shocked.

Subconsciously feel that things are not good.

Li Ji was not called in their plan this time.

Because Li Ji is the emperor's man, he is not in the same way as them.

But why does it appear here?
Because of the emperor's order?
No, it's him!
"General Li, thank you for coming to pick me up in person."

Fang Yuan greeted him with a smile.

And signaled Lai Yingzhe and others to put away their weapons.

There is Li Ji in Bingzhou, and there is no road that cannot be walked in Bingzhou.

No matter how Cui Yuanting and others blocked the way, they couldn't stop the way of a governor.

Du Miaoyan and Wang Shiyu also looked at Li Ji, and at this moment they both had a feeling of enlightenment.

No wonder Fang Yuan was confident, it turned out that there was a governor behind him to support him.

But how on earth did he invite a governor?

But even so, if Cui Yuanting forcibly slanders Fang Yuan, it can't be solved, right?
"Don't work hard, do the landlord's friendship."

Li Ji smiled lightly.

"What does Dudu Li mean?"

"Do you want to intervene in the judge's judgment?"

Cui Yuanting said in a deep voice.

Li Ji's arrival made him feel that his plan was disrupted.

And it was Fang Yuan who called here, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Li Ji was in Bingzhou on weekdays, no matter what he called the other party, he would shirk it on the grounds of something.

Today Fang Yuan called over when he came to Bingzhou Taiyuan Mansion for the first time, it really made him angry.

"Don't dare, may I ask what happened to Fang Fang?"

Li Jigong cupped his hands and said calmly.

"Suspected of murder!"

Cui Yuanting said in a deep voice.

After the words fell, Du Miaoyan and Wang Shiyu became even more curious.

Facing the murder case slandered by Cui Yuanting, both of them could not testify, Li Ji was not present, let alone testify, how to save Fang Yuan?
"It is to exterminate the bandits, and it is considered to have killed the people by mistake."

Fang Yuan explained on the side.

"It turns out that this is the matter, Cui Shishi doesn't need to investigate."

"The people of this governor can testify that they did not kill the people by mistake."

Li Ji suddenly realized.

With that said, two people walked out of the security team.

"Tao Changhong, the commander of the Gale Battalion, pays his respects to the governor and Cui Shi!"

The Gale Camp is a military camp commanded by Li Ji.

Before Fang Yuan set off, he hurriedly repaired a book and sent it to Li Ji.

In the letter, he asked Li Ji for two soldiers, in case he was wronged and couldn't explain clearly.

It was really guessed by Fang Yuan, he was really wronged, but fortunately he had these two backers.

"Return to the team!"

Li Ji said calmly.

"Yes!"

Tao Changhong and another soldier left.

"Inspector Cui, can I take Inspector Fang and others away?"

Li Ji looked at Cui Yuanting and smiled lightly.

"They're armed with murder weapons!"

Cui Yuanting's face was ugly, and he said in a deep voice.

Damn it, Fang Yuan actually saw through his plan.

It feels like all your efforts are in vain.

Just now I thought that I had the overall situation in my hands, and I was really ashamed and humiliated.

"Inspector Cui misunderstood, we sent weapons to General Li."

"I'm sure you all know that General Li is about to fight the Eastern Turks, and some weapons need to be replaced."

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

Signal Lai Yingzhe and others to gather the weapons and hand them over to Li Ji.

"Can we go?"

Li Ji asked again.

"can!"

Cui Yuan kept a cold face and said in a deep voice.

Lost, lost completely, defeated by Fang Yuan.

This time it might not be Fang Yuan who became the laughing stock of Hedong Dao, but himself.

Damn Fang Yuan, hateful Li Ji, it's impossible to just let this matter go.

"Cui Jieshi, I'm sorry, I let you make this trip for nothing."

Fang Yuan smiled at Cui Yuanting.

"Inspector Fang, please be careful on the way back!"

"Captain Li, please win the next war!"

Cui Yuanting's expression became even more gloomy.

He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.

The meaning of the warning in it can be heard by everyone present.

"Farewell!"

Fang Yuan chuckled disapprovingly.

Take Du Miaoyan and others out of the restaurant.

Get your convoy ready and ready to leave here.

"Farewell!"

Li Ji bowed his hands to Cui Yuanting and others, and then left.

Outside the restaurant, because of the arrival of the soldiers, there was no room for the people on the street, and they were forced to stay far away.

When they saw Fang Yuan and others came out safely, they were all surprised, and the strange comments appeared again.

People leave.

The army also left.

On the road.

"Fang Yuan, is this your backhand?"

Du Miaoyan approached Fang Yuan and sighed.

Li Ji, the governor of Bingzhou, led the army to meet him.

Soldiers from the Liji Jifeng Battalion also testified in the team.

With proper arrangements, all of Cui Yuanting's traps were smashed.

It seems that there is not much difficulty, but it is very powerful to see through Cui Yuanting's trap in advance.

Moreover, he can also invite a governor, which is something that even his own father can't guarantee.

"How about it?"

"I said don't do things you're not sure about."

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

Follow Li Ji's army.

"Great!"

Du Miaoyan nodded heavily.

Great, very good.

After this battle, it is estimated that not many people would dare to laugh at Fang Yuan.

Everyone in the entire Bingzhou, or the entire Hedong Road has to look at Fang Yuan again.

A person who was about to run across the thirteen counties of Bingzhou made Cui Yuanting, the governor of Bingzhou, totally helpless.

Fang Yuan smiled and didn't answer.

Soon, Fang Yuan and others followed Li Ji back to his barracks.

"Inspector Fang, do you want to drink two cups before setting off?"

Li Jiyou smiled.

"No, I won't be able to leave until tomorrow after drinking two more cups."

Fang Yuan shook his head, rejecting Li Ji's kindness.

It was already mid-afternoon at this time, and it might get dark after a few drinks.

"That's fine too."

"According to your request, I will ask Danqiu and Siwen to take five hundred soldiers to escort you to Xinzhou and then back to Liaozhou."

Li Ji didn't force it, and let Li Danqiu and Li Siwen come forward.

Both of them are dressed in military uniform at this time, the daughter is brave and heroic, and the son is full of heroism.

Li Ji's two children look like dragons and phoenixes from the outside, and it is estimated that his wife is also a rare beauty.

"Thank you General Li."

Fang Yuan said gratefully.

But I also sighed lightly in my heart.

Li Ji's cooperation this time is based on the favor from last time.

If you still want to ask Li Ji in the future, it may not be so easy.

"After helping you escort the goods this time, it's time for me to go to the Eastern Turks."

"Danqiu and Siwen are very naughty, I want you to take care of them for a while."

Li Ji said sternly.

"A war started?!"

Fang Yuan was taken aback for a moment, then his expression changed.

Fang Yuan is also not sure when the Tang Dynasty's battle to destroy the Eastern Turks was.

But the imperial court has prepared for so long, and the money earned from fine salt and tea should be enough to buy food and grass, and it is time to go to war.

"It's just a matter of a couple of months."

Li Ji nodded solemnly.

The national war is very stressful.

"General Li, please rest assured."

Fang Yuan also nodded solemnly.

Li Danqiu and Li Siwen are not young anymore and don't need much care.

Probably Li Ji was worried that the two of them would be framed by Cui Yuanting if they stayed in Bingzhou.

But probably not, even if Cui Yuanting and the others had the guts, they would not dare to mess with the children of the frontline generals, unless they were defeated.

"Don't make trouble!"

"Otherwise be careful when dad comes back to beat you!"

Li Ji looked at Li Danqiu and Li Siwen, and said in a deep voice.

"Know it."

Li Danqiu pursed his mouth and said disapprovingly.

Li Siwen was different, he should be respectful.

Not long after, Fang Yuan bid farewell to Li Ji and set off for Xinzhou.

Escorted by [-] soldiers, no problems were encountered on the road.

In only two days, Fang Yuan and others reached the border between Bingzhou and Xinzhou.

"Fang Yuan, we can only send you here."

"Follow this road from here, and you will reach Xinzhou City in about an hour or two. We will wait for you to come back here."

Li Danqiu and others stopped.

They are soldiers from Bingzhou and cannot enter Xinzhou without reason.

"Okay, thank you."

Fang Yuan expressed his gratitude and led the team to continue to set off.

Xinzhou is very small, even smaller than Liaozhou, with only two small counties.

It is estimated that because of the development of Bingzhou, many Xinzhou people have come to Bingzhou to make a living.

As a result, Xinzhou did not develop well in the first place, because of the reason of Bingzhou, it is getting worse every year.

An hour later, Fang Yuan and others arrived at Xinzhou City.

Xinzhou City is relatively simple, and the flow of people entering and leaving the city gate is scarce, which is not as good as Liaozhou City.

The soldiers guarding the gates on both sides were also a little depressed, and seemed listless, and did not check the people entering and leaving.

"Into the city."

Fang Yuan gave an order, and the team continued to move forward.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the city saw Fang Yuan and others coming.

"stop!"

"what for?"

The Shoucheng Captain led the soldiers towards Fang Yuan and the others.

"The Liaozhou caravan sent red bricks to the governor of Xinzhou."

Lai Yingzhe stepped forward, took out the transaction contract and said.

It has the seal and signature of the governor of Xinzhou on it.

"What red brick?"

"Have you received the notice from Lord Inspector?"

The Shoucheng captain didn't look at the contract, but turned to look at the two followers.

"Return to the school captain, we have not received the notice."

Two soldiers answered loudly.

"You wait, I will ask someone to confirm."

Shoucheng Captain looked back at Lai Yingzhe and said impatiently.

With that said, he asked one of his followers to leave and went to the Governor's Mansion to confirm the news.

"This general, here is the contract certificate."

Lai Yingzhe raised the contract again and said.

"Who knows if it's fake?"

"Bringing so many things in with just one contract, is our Xinzhou City still safe?"

The captain who guarded the city said without even looking at it.

"Then please report and confirm as soon as possible."

Lai Yingzhe pondered for a moment, then bowed to the other party.

Then go back and report to Fang Yuan, and tell the truth.

"Fang Yuan, for such an important matter, the defenders of the city should have known it in advance, right?"

Du Miaoyan frowned slightly after listening.

Not long ago, the entire Hedong Road people were laughing at Fang Yuan.

As the instigator, Xinzhou should be more aware of this matter.

The Shoucheng school lieutenant is not considered a low-level official. It is impossible for middle- and high-level officials to know.

Therefore, the other party may not be ignorant, but deliberately ignorant, delaying time or embarrassing, etc.

"Get off the horse and rest, and wait for an incense stick."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, said in a deep voice.

He also has guesses in this regard.

But when you are not sure, you have to give the other party some time.

Everyone dismounted to rest.

Although there are few people entering and leaving the city gate, there are still many.

The people who came in and out were curious when they saw such a long queue here.

Some bold people even approached deliberately, wanting to see what the carts of red things are.

"This, isn't this the red brick?"

"I heard that our Lord Inspector bought a large batch of red bricks from Liaozhou!"

"Yes, yes, I heard that too, but didn't it mean that the red bricks were blocked in Bingzhou and couldn't get through?"

The people passing by whispered and were heard by the security team, and reported it to Fang Yuan.

Fang Yuan nodded to show that he knew, but he didn't act immediately, he still waited for a stick of incense before getting up.

"Didn't I tell you to report?"

Seeing that Fang Yuan and the others were about to set off again, the captain guarding the city said impatiently.

"How long will it take to report?"

Fang Yuan said expressionlessly.

"how could I know?"

"Just wait."

Shoucheng captain waved his hand, wanting to push Fang Yuan away.

But before his hand touched Fang Yuan, Xue Bowu grabbed his hand.

The Shoucheng Captain is not an ordinary person, he has practiced martial arts for several years, and he is about to throw off Xue Bowu's hand immediately.

It's just that Xue Bowu's hands are like iron tongs, no matter how he shakes them, he can't shake them off, and his face turns red for a while.

"let go!"

The guard captain shouted loudly.

The sound alarmed the other soldiers guarding the city, and they all rushed over.

"Isn't this the soldier who went to confirm just now? Why are you still here?"

Fang Yuan frowned, and found the soldier who was assigned to confirm in the crowd of soldiers.

The soldier was stared at by Fang Yuan, his eyes suddenly turned dodgy, he didn't dare to look at Fang Yuan again.

"What the hell, I don't know what you said, let go!"

"If you don't let go, don't blame me for arresting you and going to the state prison!"

The defending captain struggled and roared.

The sound attracted more people to stop, and they all looked this way.

"How dare you fool me?!"

Fang Yuan smiled coldly, and kicked the captain defending the city violently in the abdomen.

Xue Bowu also let go at this time, and the captain who defended the city suddenly screamed and fell back.

"presumptuous!"

"Dare to kick the captain, go!"

The other soldiers were furious.

Those who drew their swords drew their swords, those who held spears held spears, and wanted to kill Fang Yuan.

"I think you are presumptuous!"

Lai Yingzhe and others shouted.

300 people moved closer together.

All of them held sabers at their waists, and their eyes were cold.

The soldiers guarding the city of Xinzhou were taken aback immediately, and there were only 30 of them.

Facing such a fierce 300 people, they immediately knew that they were not their opponents, and they dared not charge towards Fang Yuan and the others.

"You, you want to rebel?!"

The Shoucheng Captain stood up and shouted grimly.

"I am Fang Yuan, Inspector of Liaozhou, this is the contract with you Inspector of Xinzhou."

"What's your name, do you know what will happen if you deliberately stop me?"

Fang Yuan took a step forward, said coldly.

After the words fell, the soldiers and people at the scene changed their colors in an uproar.

In recent days, the person who has spread the most is Fang Yuan, governor of Liaozhou.

Some people say he is stupid, some say he is straight down, some say he is useless and so on.

The latest news is that Fang Yuan led the team in Bingzhou and was blocked, unable to deliver the goods to the door.

But now, the real person was right in front of them, delivering the red bricks himself, and they were shocked and surprised.

"me"

The captain of Shoucheng's face changed, and he couldn't speak.

He knew the inside story, otherwise he would not have dared to stop Fang Yuan.

But it was also because he knew the inside story, so Fang Yuan was afraid when he revealed his identity.

"Step aside."

Fang Yuan said coldly.

The soldiers standing in front retreated subconsciously.

In their hearts, the governor was an unattainable existence.

"Fang, Inspector Fang please."

Seeing this, the captain guarding the city dared not stop him.

Liaozhou Inspector Fang Yuan personally delivered the red bricks, which is already known to all.

He can pretend not to know Fang Yuan's identity to stop him, but after Fang Yuan reveals his identity, he dare not stop him.

Fang Yuan glanced at him, snorted coldly, and led the transportation team into Xinzhou City.

The city guard captain was startled, thinking that Fang Yuan was going to punish him.

The people at the gate of the city watched and quickly spread the news.

Soon, Xinzhou City was boiling.

After entering Liaozhou City, Fang Yuan and others soon knew the location of the Governor's Mansion.

When the convoy stopped at the gate of Xinzhou Governor's Mansion, the two state officials guarding the gate were so frightened that they fled inside.

"My lord, have they seen the cat?"

Lai Yingzhe laughed.

Order the security team to unload the car here.

Not long after, a cart of red bricks was unloaded.

The red bricks were piled high, seven or eight meters long, as tall as an adult, completely blocking the entrance of the governor's mansion.

The people in Xinzhou City looked at this scene and were very curious about what the red bricks were used for.

During this process, no one in the Xinzhou Mansion showed up, as if there was no one in the huge Governor's Mansion.

"Master, the governor of Xinzhou is not here, and Changshi said he didn't know where he went."

Lai Yingzhe came back to report.

When he unloaded the car, someone went in to report.

"Oh, are you still hiding?"

Fang Yuan felt amused.

How did you come up with such a childish behavior?

Du Miaoyan, who was on the side, also felt it was funny when she heard it, and almost laughed out loud.

If the item has not been delivered, it can be said that the goods were not received due to delay and demanded compensation.

But it's strange to avoid receiving the goods when they arrive.

Where else can the governor of Yizhou go?

"All of you go, spread the news, and gather at Xinzhou Inspector Su's Mansion in half an hour."

"Let's say that Liaozhou Governor Fang Yuan personally delivered the goods, but he was blocked at the gate of the city first, and no one received the goods when he arrived at the governor's mansion. Is the governor of Xinzhou like this, or is everyone in Xinzhou like this?"

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, then smiled lightly.

"Yes."

Lai Yingzhe should be, and arrange everyone to spread the news.

"Let's go, let's take a stroll and find out where the Xinzhou governor lives."

Fang Yuan smiled lightly.

Come all come, no rush to receive money immediately.

This is also the first time I have come to Xinzhou to see the customs here.

"This governor of Xinzhou is also strange, he doesn't care about his own reputation?"

Du Miaoyan followed and said with a speechless smile.

"I feel weird too."

"Bo Wu, what do you think is the reason?"

Fang Yuan smiled and said.

Once the goods are delivered, it is impossible to escape the money.

If it is an ordinary businessman, you can leave secretly and hide far away.

But as the governor of a state, he cannot leave the state and county under his jurisdiction for too long.

Could it be that for the three hundred copper coins, he didn't even want the official position of governor?
That's impossible.

"I'm out of money."

Xue Bowu scratched his head and said embarrassingly.

"No money?"

"It seems possible!"

Fang Yuan and Du Miaoyan looked at each other, but they also thought it was possible.

The total price of this batch of red bricks is [-] guan, the deposit has already been paid for [-] guan, and the remaining [-] guan have not been paid.

Six hundred guan should not be a problem for a governor, but maybe it is not a small number after all.

After wandering around for half an hour, Fang Yuan and the others felt tired, and finally stopped at the gate of Xinzhou governor's mansion, and moved a stool to sit on.

Xinzhou Inspector Su Yingjie's mansion is quite grand, although it is not as good as Fang Yuan's mansion in Liaozhou City, but it is also one of the best mansions in Xinzhou City.

At this time, the entire Xinzhou City knew that Fang Yuan had personally delivered the goods, and knew that Fang Yuan was deliberately blocked outside the city gate, and no one accepted the goods now.

For a while, the people of Xinzhou were in high spirits, they were very dissatisfied with the appearance of Fang Yuan and others, and threatened to drive Fang Yuan and others out.

But there are also those who feel ashamed. They didn't expect their governor to be such a person, and they dared to do it.

Lai Yingzhe and others met with Fang Yuan after publicizing the news, and gathered at the gate of the governor of Xinzhou.

The gathering of 300 people at the gate of the Su Mansion once again aroused the shock of the common people.

Similarly, no one came out from the Su residence.

"Go."

Fang Yuan glanced at the sky, said calmly.

At this time, it was already Shen Shi, and he had to get the money and go back earlier.

"Yes!"

Lai Yingzhe should be.

Immediately convene 200 people to walk to Su Mansion.

"What?"

"This is the mansion of Lord Inspector!"

The guard at the gate stopped.

"roll!"

Lai Yingzhe stepped forward and punched.

Blood was spurted from the front of the gatekeeper's guard.

The other one was not much better and was kicked away by other security guards.

The security team captured the Su Mansion, entered the interior of the Su Mansion, and all entered within a short while.

In an instant, mixed noises resounded inside the Su residence.

The people watching the situation around them were startled, their voices were much lower when talking about Fang Yuan.

Among the crowd of common people, Su Yingjie, the governor of Xinzhou, wearing an official uniform, suddenly walked out, with shame and anger on his old face.

"Fang Inspector, what do you mean by allowing your subordinates to break into the official's mansion?"

Su Yingjie said while walking.

Nearly 60 years old, his pace is a bit slow.

There are several people behind him, also wearing official uniforms.

"Oh, Governor Su has appeared?"

"I thought you were hiding and didn't dare to come out to see me."

Fang Yuan didn't answer, but said with a half-smile.

"absurd!"

"I never escaped, I just didn't know you were coming."

Su Yingjie's face became even more ashamed, but she quickly covered it up and scolded.

"So it is."

"Ask Governor Su to sign and pay the money."

Fang Yuan was too lazy to pierce him, took out the contract and said.

"You tell the people inside to stop first!"

Su Yingjie's expression froze, and she said in a deep voice.

He hated Fang Yuan so much that he forced himself to come out with such a rogue method.

Indulging his subordinates to break into the mansion of the governor of Yizhou, how dare he do such an illegal thing?

Don't you worry about tearing your face and mobilizing all the state officials in the city to keep him?

At this moment, noises and the cries of women, children and children could be faintly heard in the Su residence.

"Go tell them to stop first."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment, then motioned for the security to inform the situation.

Not long after, the noise in the Su residence became much quieter and finally disappeared.

"Give me the money."

Fang Yuan shook the contract in his hand and said.

"No, no money."

"I also ask Governor Fang to slow down for a while."

Su Yingjie's old face became even more ashamed and angry.

"No money?"

Fang Yuan frowned, and looked at Du Miaoyan.

Was Xue Bowu really right, that the dignified governor really has no money?
Su Yingjie nodded, and looked at the Su Mansion, wanting to go back and see what's going on inside.

"If you don't have any money, I'll demolish your home."

Fang Yuan pulled Su Yingjie back, and said coldly.

Su Yingjie's eyes turned cold, and great anger and shame welled up in her heart.
