Sunzhi County has been under pressure from Zhang Xiancheng, who has been operating in Lin'an County for many years and has penetrated the yamen and all levels of relationships.

Gritting her teeth in anger, she raised her hand and dropped a set of teacups that she liked.

Angrily said: "It's really deceiving people to be so arrogant."

Master Fang lowered his eyes. Having worked in the yamen for many years, he knew that it was inappropriate to say anything at this time.

It has been less than two years since Sunzhi County came to Lin'an County, and Zhang Xiancheng has been operating here for nearly ten years. Lin'an County is still rich in literary style, and it is easy to get political achievements as a county magistrate here.

As soon as the time for each county magistrate comes up, most of them will be reassigned and promoted again.

In this way, whether it is the officials in the yamen, or the wealthy businessmen and squires in the city, they are more willing to embrace the thigh of staying in the local area for a long time as the county magistrate, and are willing to ask him for protection for anything.

This also caused them to form a network of relationships. If the county magistrate transferred did not have a strong background, he would be suppressed by the county magistrate of the county.

Just like Sun Zhixian who was suppressed like a trapped beast by Zhang Xiancheng at this time.

Seeing that the tax and food cannot be collected now, and the officials below are struggling to do things, Sun Zhixian knows that it is Zhang Xiancheng who is tripping him up.

But when the time came, the tax and food could not be paid, and he, the county magistrate, was most responsible.

Sun Zhixian looked at Master Fang with some guilt, sighed helplessly, and opened his mouth hesitantly.

Director Fang's eyes flickered, and before the exit of Sunzhi County, he showed a wry smile, and said: "It is the duty of the subordinates to share the worries of the adults, and nothing is as important as collecting this year's tax.

Although my nephew was seriously injured by the young master of the Kun family, his life is not in danger after all, so you don't have to worry about dismissing him if you want to do what you want. "

Master Fang gritted his molars, hating him to death, but he had to say these words.

Even if he didn't say anything, Master Fang knew that Sun Zhixian would compromise with Zhang Xiancheng and release Kun Guangcai in order to pay taxes and food by the way.

If that's the case, why don't you give him a favor yourself, make Sun Zhixian feel guilty, and feel even more resentful and dissatisfied with Zhang Xiancheng's suppression in his heart.

The magistrate Fang Fang's understanding and understanding of current affairs was both guilt and admiration, thinking that he and his nephew would have the opportunity to make up for the grievances he and his nephew had suffered this time.

However, because Sunzhi County was dissatisfied with Zhang Xiancheng and the Kun family, he forced the Kun family to compensate Jiang Zhou with 1000 taels of silver before agreeing to release Kun Guangcai.

Although Mrs. Kun was unwilling and felt that the Jiang family was a poor lion, she asked the housekeeper to send 1000 taels to the Jiang family under Master Kun's decision.

Although the amount of compensation was quite a lot, for a wealthy businessman like the Kun family, it was just a drizzle and not worth mentioning.

However, Master Kun is not a reasonable person, otherwise he would not have taught a son like Kun Guangcai. From the beginning to the end, their family never went to Jiang's house to apologize for Kun Guangcai's hurtful things.

This also made Jiang's couple grit their teeth under the persuasion of Master Fang, and accepted the compensation money.

After the housekeeper of the Kun family left with her head held high, Mrs. Jiang almost fainted from anger, and looked dissatisfied at her elder brother who loved her dearly.

Master Fang rubbed his head with a headache. Although he and his brother-in-law's family were not very rich and powerful, they were not short of food, drink, and flowers. They really didn't care about the 1000 taels of silver.

Seeing his only sister looking at him with tears in her eyes, Master Fang didn't feel distressed or angry.

So looking at the younger sister and his wife, he had no choice but to explain: "Even if you don't accept the 1000 taels of silver, the county magistrate will make excuses in a few days and directly deal with the big and small things."

"How could it be?" Fang Zhou's father couldn't believe it: "It's not a small crime to hurt people like this in public, how can you just let him go."

"Hmph, magistrate Sun County is pinched seven inches by the county magistrate Zhang. If he can't pay taxes and food, he will be punished even if he is not demoted."

"He finally came to Dangzhi County, a fairly affluent county in Lin'an County, from a poor family's imperial examinations.

"How could he be willing to leave a stain on his political achievements because of this incident, and fail in the ratings to delay his promotion."

Mrs. Jiang, "Brother, my son was hurt like that, and the culprit was released like this. I feel uncomfortable."

"Brother is willing, but we are unwilling to reconcile, which refute the face of Sun Zhi County.

Not to mention the 1000 taels of compensation from the Kun family.

At that time, I'm afraid Sun Zhixian will agree that Zhou'er and Kun Guangcai were in a brothel, fighting for a prostitute. That would affect your son's career reputation in the future. "

"Ah! This... this..." Mrs. Jiang and Master Jiang looked at each other, even if they were unwilling, they could only bear it.

Master Fang saw that the husband and wife understood what was going on, and he didn't want to stay longer if he was troublesome, so he left after speaking.

After An Xin found out, she took a few people to visit Jiang Zhou and asked him why he wanted Kun Guang to die.

Jiang Zhou watched his little mountain leader and several senior brothers want to seek justice for him, leaned on the bed and closed his eyes, feeling moved and warm in his heart.

Both my uncle and my parents agreed to reconcile, knowing that they must be helpless, but I feel a little uncomfortable after all.

Jiang Zhou looked at An Xin with a sincere tone, "You're right, if I had let myself stop studying at that time, I would really have to admit the hurt I suffered this time.

But now I have figured it out, a county magistrate can influence a case, and if we ordinary people want to have the right to speak, we really have to pass the imperial examination to become an official. "

Having been exposed to some things, Leng Xiangbai and Zhu Shijing nodded in agreement.

Jiang Zhou's sentimental words also made An Rui and Liu Boxing, who had no goals for the imperial examination, feel a little bit.

The two people who were originally motivated to grow old and had no self-motivation, used to rely on An Xin's encouragement in their studies, and since then they have become more serious in their studies and scientific examinations.

An Xin: "What do you mean, come back to take revenge after you pass the imperial examination?"

Jiang Zhou nodded: "Yes!"

An Xin smiled brightly, and said something inexplicable: "I advise you to take revenge as early as possible, or your enemy is dead, and you haven't gotten out of bed yet."

A few days later, before Jiang Zhou figured it out.

Both the Kun family and Zhang Xiancheng were arrested and put in prison.

The reason was that the governor’s yamen, which was in charge of water transportation, received an anonymous report. On a cargo ship that was shipping to Lin’an County, a surprise inspection found illegal salt in Kun’s cargo.

After An Xin heard about it, she gave Li Ziyu a thumbs up, which was to act first.

Before the Kun family had time to plant the illegal salt in the tea box they brought back, they asked someone to report anonymously in advance that someone on the boat was selling illegal salt.

The Yamen of the Governor of Water Transport responded very quickly to this matter. Following the confession of the supervisor who escorted the goods from the Kun family, he successfully found the family who resold the private salt from the Kun family.

Now it was the turn of the Kun family who had always been arrogant and unreasonable.
