Chapter 178
Of course, these three people also have accomplices.This Tongdang is a government servant who is good at imitating the sounds of various animals.

The three planned to kill Zhou Wen first tonight, pretending to be the scene of the woman-turned-murder.

The three of them found another reason and went to find Chang Feng.

When they are in front of Chang Feng, the wing party will make ghostly screams to mislead Chang Feng that they were not there when Bian Po killed someone.

However, their tricks are really not brilliant in front of Jin Yiwei's second shopkeeper, Chang Feng.At most, it's just pretending to be smart.

The three confessed the truth.Chang Feng ordered people to lock up their wings.

Then Chang Feng said to Jin Bao: "Your daughter was raped to death by Chief Lin and all the yamen servants. It is understandable that you killed Chief Lin for revenge."

"But if you kill the next three officers one after another, it is indiscriminate killing of innocent people!"

Jin Bao snorted coldly: "These so-called chiefs, who came to Yinjiang and collude with chieftains to oppress the people, are also damned. I am doing justice for the heavens!"

Chang Feng sighed: "You have your reasons. I have my country's laws. Great Ming's country's laws, murder pays with life, debts pay back money."

Lin Sanjiu laughed from the sidelines: "National law? Hahaha! This ridiculous Ming Dynasty law only protects the powerful and rich!"

Often the wind is speechless.And it's not just the national law of Ming Dynasty?All ages.

Fatty Xu said: "Master Chang, what should we do with these three people? Just cut them off right there?"

Chang Feng said: "Keep the three of them for now. I'm useful. Go and call the inspector Gao Chenghu."

Not long after, Gao Chenghu came to the lobby.

Chang Feng said: "You were imprisoned for two days, you have been wronged."

Gao Chenghu asked bluntly: "Chang Qian said to seek justice for my brother Pao Ze. A big man like you needs to spit out a nail!"

Chang Feng nodded: "Don't worry about that! I have handed over the memorial to the emperor, participating in the impeachment of Guangxi Dusi for corrupting Mo Zhonglie, and beating veterans with meritorious service."

"Also ask the emperor to promote you as a commander. Respect your robe."

"I will never let heroes shed blood and tears!"

Gao Chenghu cupped his hands: "Thank you Changqian."

Chang Feng turned his head to look at Zhou Wen again: "Zhou Wen, you have been in office for three years. Because of the legend of the ghost yamen, you have been in fear all day long. You have made no achievements in government affairs."

"And you are really greedy for 1 taels of tax money. Although this is an unwritten rule among senior officials in Guizhou, it still violates the national law."

"I will punish you!"

Zhou Wen cupped his hands: "Often things saved my life. I am willing to accept any punishment given to me."

Chang Feng thought for a while and said, "I will punish you to stay in Yinjiang. Be the first magistrate of Yinjiang!"

Zhou Wen was surprised: "Chang Qian is really going to carry out the reform of the land and return it to the people?"

Chang Feng nodded: "That's right. This time the emperor sent me to Qianjiang to find out the truth about the ghost yamen. It's just a side effect. The most important purpose is to carry out reforms."

"You must be the first county magistrate of Yinjiang. Do things for the common people earnestly."

"In addition, all your 1 taels of tax money will be confiscated. It will be used as a fund for promoting land reform."

Zhou Wen kowtowed: "Thank you Changqian for your kindness!"

Chang Feng told Fatty Xu: "Dudu Ye has been feeding mosquitoes in Fanjing Mountain for three days. Pull Xinjian and let him and his brothers enter the long lawsuit."

Fatty Xu took the order and left.

Next, Chang Feng will use force and resourcefulness to forcibly carry out the reform of the land and return it to the local people.

He knew in his heart that if he could handle this matter well, he would have answered the exam questions given by Emperor Hongzhi.He must be the next Commander of Jinyiwei.

Fatty Xu fired the letter arrow, and a bright light shot straight into the sky.

The [-] soldiers from the Beijing battalion that Ye Guang brought to Yinjiang were assembled and started to descend the mountain.

Chang Feng stood on the wooden corridor of the outer watchtower, waiting for Ye Guang's arrival.

Sun Guishou came to Chang Feng's side: "Master Chang is indeed shrewd and capable. It only took three days to find out the truth about the ghost yamen."

Chang Feng said: "It's not worth mentioning. If I can't even investigate a murder case that happened in the Liupin yamen, what will the emperor say?"

Having said that, Chang Feng stopped abruptly.

Sun Guishou said with a smile: "Master Chang wanted to say, why does the emperor entrust the entire Jinyiwei to you, right?"

Chang Feng was silent.He didn't want to reveal his ambition.

Any young man is ambitious.Changfeng is no exception.

Sun Guishou said meaningfully: "Since the 15th year of Hongwu, the Taizu established the Jinyiwei. In 110, there were nineteen Jinyiwei commanders."

"There are seventeen people who did not die well. The remaining two died well, because they are just commanders under the guise and have no real power in their hands."

Chang Feng was taken aback when he heard this, and pinched his fingers to count: "Mao Xiang, Jiang Yu, Song Zhong, Ji Gang...ah, it's just like what the old man said, only two of them died well."

Sun Guishou said: "The emperor thinks highly of you, Master Chang, so he will naturally give you real power all the time, and will not let you be a cover in the Jinyiwei."

"If you want to die well, there is only one way!"

Chang Feng asked, "Which way?"

Sun Guishou said: "Hiding behind the scenes, controlling Jinyiwei as a matter of fact. Give up the title of commander to others."

"You used to have a good strategy when you were the governor of Beizhen. Let Qian Ning stand in front of the stage and act as your substitute."

"You must not fail to withstand the temptation of the title of commander and miss your life."

Chang Feng was in a tangle.

Everyone in the world knows that the greater the official position, the greater the risk.

All the civil servants have a dream: to enter the cabinet one day and become an extremely talented minister.

Every warrior in Jinyiwei also dreams of becoming a commander one day.

Chang Feng is not a saint, nor is he exempt from vulgarity.The title of commander is too tempting.

However, Sun Guishou was right.Among the nineteen commanders, none of the 17 with real power died well.

How could Chang Feng expect to be a special case?

But this matter can be considered slowly.The most urgent task at the moment is to carry out land reform in Yinjiang first.

Half an hour later, Ye Guang led two thousand soldiers from the Beijing battalion into the chief lawsuit.

Chang Feng cupped his hands towards Ye Guang: "Dudu Ye, you and your brothers have suffered in Fanjing Mountain for the past three days!"

Ye Guang didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't matter. Soldiers should endure hardships. If you are bitten by mosquitoes, you can do anything!"

Chang Feng said: "Brothers have to hide in the watchtowers and ambush before dawn. Tomorrow I will set up a Hongmen banquet and invite the chieftains to eat."

Ye Guang was puzzled: "You told me when you were in Sinan Xuanweisi that those gangsters are very cunning. Will they come as promised?"

Chang Feng laughed and said: "They will definitely come! Because the banquet they ate was the funeral banquet for the former chief Zhou Wen and the current chief Chang Huayu!"

As soon as it was dawn, Chang Feng sent a government servant to report the funeral to the four chieftains in the name of tax collector Huang Liang.Lied that the long lawsuit last night turned into a wife again.Bianpo killed Zhou Wen and "Chang Huayu".

With the mentality of watching the excitement, the four major chieftains each brought 200 people to the chief lawsuit.

Mrs. Ninth was wearing a filial gown, and Fatty Xu was carrying a banner, standing in front of the suspension bridge of the chief lawsuit.

Fatty Xu wears a filial hat and carries a streamer on his shoulders, looking like a fat and filial son.

Chang Feng has a sense of humor.He never forgets to take advantage of Fatty Xu when he hosts a Hongmen banquet.

Not long after, the four chieftains came to the Ninth Madam.

Ninth Madam cried till the pear blossoms were raining, and shouted in Tujia dialect: "My husband, why did you just go like this! My life is so miserable!"

The Tujia chieftain was surprised: "Madam, are you a Tujia?"

Ninth Madam nodded: "Exactly."

The chieftain of the Miao family said with a smile: "Why, Di Erer, have you taken a fancy to her? She is a widow now. You can take her home as a concubine."

The chieftain of the Dong family said, "Wouldn't it be a pity to give such a wonderful woman to the land? It's better to take advantage of me!"

Among the four chieftains, the Tujia chieftain is the most benevolent and treats the tribe best.

But the influence of the Tujia people is the smallest in Yinjiang.

The Miao, Dong, and Yi ethnic groups joined hands to oppress the Tujia people all these years.

Nine Furen said: "Four, please come in. Ah, can your soldiers and horses wait for the chief to sue? Don't startle my husband's dead soul."

Anyway, the former chief and the current chief are all dead.Jin Bao, Huang Liang, and Lin Sanjiu colluded with them on weekdays and had a good relationship with them.

They entered the long lawsuit with confidence and boldness.

Mrs. Ninth and Fatty Xu followed them, walked up the suspension bridge, and returned to the chief lawsuit.

Everyone came to the lobby.

Where are the coffins and plain oysters in the lobby?Chang Feng and Zhou Wen sat in the lobby well.

The chieftain of the Miao family was furious: "Are you playing tricks on us?"

Chang Feng smiled slightly: "If I don't say we are dead, why don't you bring troops into the lawsuit?"

"Come on, send the order down, put away the drawbridge!"

The chieftain of the Miao family asked Chang Feng: "What do you mean?"

Chang Feng said: "My meaning is very simple! Change the soil and return it to the people! Abolish your hereditary chieftain position. From now on, there will be no chieftains in Yinjiang, only county magistrates!"

"All the powers of governing the people, tax collection, and punishment and prison are taken over by the county government!"

"Disband all the troops in your hands!"

"From now on, you will be the same as ordinary people. At most, you will be counted as wealthy aliens!"

The chieftain of the Miao family sneered: "You have a good idea! There are [-] people in our four families and [-] clan soldiers!"

"Outside the yamen at the moment, although we only brought 500 people. But with the more than 100 yamen servants and minzhuang in the chief lawsuit, can we stop them?"

Chang Feng didn't take it seriously: "Who told you that there are only more than 100 yamen servants and strong people in the chief lawsuit?"

After finishing speaking, Chang Feng put his fingers in his mouth and blew his whistle.

More than 2000 Beijing soldiers got out of the watchtowers and stood on the wooden corridors and walls.All of them armed with knives, guns, bows and arrows.There are also two or three hundred guns and more than a dozen iron cannons.

Chang Feng said to the four chieftains: "Go to the entrance of the lobby and have a look!"

When the four chieftains came to the entrance of the lobby, they were immediately dumbfounded.

After a moment, they turned around dejectedly.

The chieftain of the Miao family asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Chang Feng said with a smile: "After reforming the native land, the chief court department became the county government office. There will no longer be triage of officials and native officials."

"Deprive you of the position of hereditary chieftain. I feel sorry for you."

"From now on, I invite you to live in the county government office. I will promote you to be clerks in the sixth house, and I will also give you a position!"

The chieftain of the Miao family said angrily: "You think everything will be fine if we are imprisoned? My people will save me!"

"If you kill me, my people will avenge me!"

Chang Feng patted the gavel: "What are you, dare to threaten the imperial envoy?"

"Your clan will save you? The Yinjiang Miao family has been oppressed by your chieftain family for hundreds of years. You take what you want from them, and lynch you at every turn."

"Those Miao family are like your slaves. They have long hated you, and the chieftain family who hated you are so jealous!"

"It's too late for them to clap their hands and applaud the country! How can they help the tyrants, launch a rebellion for your enemy, and disobey the court?"

The chieftain of the Miao family was a little timid, but he still had the courage to say: "Even if those bastards support you, my clan soldiers will not support you! They will"

Chang Feng said with a smile: "If I tell your clan soldiers, as long as they put down their swords and guns, the court agrees with them to divide up the old chieftain's wealth?"

The chieftain of the Miao family was dumbfounded: "Let the clan soldiers divide up my family wealth?"

Chang Feng nodded: "People die for money, and birds die for food. I think the same is true for the soldiers who were loyal to you."

"As long as the Miao people in Yinjiang are willing to support the imperial court to reform the land and return it to the local people, the clan soldiers can divide up your money. Ordinary Miao people can divide up your land."

"I don't believe it, they are still willing to work for you?"

"Not to mention, Yinjiang has just stationed two thousand elite soldiers from the imperial court!"

The chieftain family has been riding on the heads of ordinary people for hundreds of years.Chang Feng now gave them a chance to take revenge and get money, food, and fields.

It's no wonder they don't actively support reforming the land to return to the bloc!
Chang Feng turned to look at the other three chieftains: "It's the same with you!"

Tujia chieftain Di E'er is a good man.He was the first to stand up: "Our Yinjiang Tujia is willing to cooperate with the imperial court to carry out the reform of the land and return it to the local people."

The chieftain of the Miao family waited and glanced at the forehead: "Are you going to be the running dog of the Han family?"

Chang Feng imitated the tone of the chieftain of the Miao family and said: "There is an old saying in our Han family, which is called Wei Junjie, a Xixi dancer. I think the methods I have now are enough to make you shut up."

The chieftain of the Dong family said: "You incite the bastards to divide up our property. You are breaking the law!"

"We have a good relationship with the Huang family. There are people in the Huang family in the court! They will impeach you to the court!"

Chang Feng and Fatty Xu looked at each other, and said with a smile, "Fatty, they scared me to death!"

Chang Feng turned his head and glared at the chieftain of the Dong family: "Huang Liang has been captured by me. I have already interrogated him clearly. The Huang family only spent a few thousand silver to befriend three censors in the capital."

"You know who I am?"

The chieftain of the Dong family said: "Aren't you the new chief of Yinjiang?"

Fatty Xu scolded him: "Blind your dog's eyes! The person in front of you is Jin Yiwei's commander Zuo Qian Shi Changfeng! The big red man in front of the emperor!"

The chieftain of the Dong family had limited knowledge, so he asked, "What kind of official is that?"

Fatty Xu said angrily: "Let's put it this way, even the governor of Guizhou will kowtow to salute our Master Chang!"

Fatty Xu pointed to himself again: "Fatty Lord, I am Xu Guangzuo, the son of Duke Dingguo! Are we afraid of the little censors handed over by the Huang family in Beijing?"

The four chieftains have lost all arrogance now.

Chang Feng pointed at Zhou Wen: "Aren't you going to bow down to the new magistrate of Yinjiang County, Zhou Wen, Master Zhou?"

The four chieftains had no choice but to kneel and kowtow to Zhou Wen.

Chang Feng said: "Suppress it. Take care of it first."

Hit a snake and hit seven inches, capture the thief first and capture the king first.In addition, Chang Feng held two thousand soldiers from the Beijing camp with one hand, and with the other hand held the decree to beat the chieftain and divide the land.

Yinjiang's reform of land and return to local people has been carried out like a raging fire.

As expected.The clan soldiers got the money from the chieftain's family.Ordinary people got the hills, forests, and land of the chieftain's family.They were all grateful to the Yinjiang County Government.

How could they rebel for the chieftain who had oppressed them for hundreds of years after they had benefited?

The situation in Yinjiang is neither small nor great, but extremely good!
Chang Feng stayed in Yinjiang for a whole month.Yinjiang County has been built into a model of land reform.

Then he beheaded the three murderers, Jin Bao, Huang Liang, and Lin Sanjiu, who were pretending to be ghosts.

For the Huang family of Semuren, Chang Feng was not soft on him.

The Huang family has occupied Yinjiang for more than 100 years and has done a lot of evil.The crimes committed are too numerous to list.

Chang Feng directly copied the Huang family.All the money obtained belongs to the county government.In the future, it will be used to support the Miao, Tu, Yi and Dong people.

A month later, Chang Feng set off and returned to Sinan Xuanweisi.

The first thing Yang Yiqing said when he saw Chang Feng was: "Chang Qianshi, you did a great job in Yinjiang!"
