Rebirth of the Tang Dynasty's strongest consort

Chapter 401 The big fish takes the bait
When the order was given, not only the four policemen froze in place, but even Fan Jin didn't react.

"What? What did the county lord say?" From Fan Jin's point of view, Mei Zhusheng has been entrenched in Meiwu County for more than a few years, and it will take a lot of effort to unplug him, but he didn't expect his superior to only use it for a period of time. At night, he dared to attack Mei Zhusheng and Wang Tong.

Until this time, the old and spicy Mei Zhusheng couldn't sit still any longer, and asked Fang Yiai with a sullen face, "Xianzun, are you kidding me?"

Fang Yiai nodded and smiled, suddenly his expression changed, and he said coldly: "Who would have the heart to joke with you!"

"What are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and take these two criminals back to the county government!" Fang Yiai spoke again, and only then woke up the four ignorant police officers.

The four of them, in pairs, escorted Mei Zhusheng and carried Wang Tong respectively, and swaggered towards the county government office.

Mei Zhusheng was arrested and quickly pressed his arms, turned his head and shouted at Fang Yiai: "Baby, you are playing with fire! How dare you disobey the order of the prefect of Caozhou!"

Looking at Mei Zhusheng's back, Fang Yiai's mouth curved slightly, and said with a sneer, "The prefect of Caozhou? Once this county's trick comes out, he will have to come in person tomorrow! At that time, this real big fish will Hooked!"

Fan Jin realized later, cupped his hands and said, "Master Xian, did you find Mei Zhusheng's mistake?"

"Master Fan, do you know how much money Mei Zhusheng and Wang Tong have collected from Meiwu County over the years?"

Fan Jin rolled his eyes a few times, and said falteringly, "Students don't know."

"10 taels! 10 taels are the hard-earned money of the people in Meiwu County!" Fang Yiai said bitterly.

"10 taels! In this way, wouldn't most of the additional taxes, grains, and special products that have been collected in these years go into the pockets of Mei and Wang?"

After hearing Fan Jin's words, Fang Yiai shook her head and said, "Not necessarily, because the two of them are not so capable. Master Fan, where have all the silver taxes in Meiwu County been paid over the years?"

Fan Jin gasped, and immediately thought of the potbellied prefect of Caozhou.

"Could it be that the magistrate is behind this?" Fan Jin bowed and asked in a low voice.

Fang Yiai nodded and said, "It should be like this."

After finishing speaking, Fang Yiai patted Fan Jin on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "The county government will check the account books, and Master Lao Fan will be responsible for the distribution of food."

"Students with big characters don't dare to be a student, and I will send you the county honor." Fan Jin transformed himself into the de facto second-in-command in Meiwu County. Only then did a little heat come on, and at the same time, it completely shifted to Fang Yiai's side.

Back at the county government office, Fang Yiai went to the prison to take a look at Mei Zhusheng and Wang Tong, and then ordered four police officers to guard day and night to take care of all the follow-up, and then returned to the bedroom with peace of mind.

In the study, Xie Yaohuan was carefully checking the account books, Fang Yiai couldn't be bothered, so she had no choice but to sit in the bedroom and chatted with Qin Jingniang.

"When does the official plan to marry sister Yaohuan?" Qin Jingniang asked shyly, embroidering female reds.

As soon as this remark came out, Fang Yiai, who was drinking tea, was choked up, "Go through the door? Marry Yaohuan and go through the door?"

Qin Jingniang hummed lightly, kept her head down and said, "That's right, He Lang didn't hear it, did Sister Yaohuan call you Fang Lang just now?"

"Eh, this matter can't be rushed. It won't be too late to make a decision after the trial of Mei and Wang's crimes is clear." Fang Yiai wiped the tea stains from the corner of her mouth and said with flickering eyes.

Qin Jingniang saw her husband in such a state of embarrassment, she smiled and spat softly, "Could it be that the official is afraid of sister Yaohuan? Maybe it's because of her previous prestige that frightened He Lang?"

"Nonsense! When have you ever been afraid of a woman!" After saying a big word to find a place, Fang Yiai looked at Qin Jingniang who was embroidering, and said tenderly and ashamedly: "Jingniang, you keep urging me to marry Yaohuan into the house." , but the truth? Don't you have any jealousy?"

Qin Jingniang stopped stitching, looked at Fang Yiai with a pair of apricot eyes, and murmured: "As long as He Lang has me in his heart, Jingniang will not care about the sisters next to him. What's the use?"

"Jingniang! You are not allowed to say that!" Qin Jingniang's words under the "Three Obediences and Four Virtues" were extremely harsh to the ears of Fang Yiai who had received equal education for men and women. After Qin Jingniang stopped in a cold voice, Fang Yiai got up and left Went to the couch and said to Qin Jingniang: "Jingniang, I told you earlier that you are my wife, what a real wife! You are not in Chang'an at this time, without Shu'er and Lizhi, you are the hostess of our family, Mei The wife of Wuxian Zhengtang!"

"As for the matter of Yaohuan passing through the door, let's talk about it slowly." Sitting on the side of the couch, Fang Yiai gently embraced Qin Jingniang into her arms, the tenderness in her eyes was beyond words.

"Okay, Jingniang listens to the officials." Qin Jingniang's cheeks were pink, and she was nestled in Fang Yiai's arms, her body and mind had already been occupied by happiness. As for Fang Yiai's words, she naturally agreed a hundred times.

Gently stroking the beauty's jade arm, Fang Yiai smiled and said, "Jing Niang, why don't you go to the market to buy a wooden couch someday?"

"What? He Lang feels uncomfortable sleeping on the floor in the study?" Qin Jingniang asked with a blushing face.

Fang Yiai swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and her hands began to be dishonest again, "It's not because of this, it's just that I feel a little bored alone at night."

"Forget it, I don't want to go back to Chang'an with a big belly!" Qin Jingniang said coquettishly, but squeezed twice into Fang Yiai's arms, as if she was about to melt into her husband's arms.

When it came to the issue of heirs, Fang Yiai suddenly thought of "Fang Daguaner", and murmured: "I don't know how Shu'er and Lizhi are doing, especially Shu'er, she is only 17 years old this year, and she works alone in the mansion." Parents, I'm afraid it will hurt her."

"Princess Gao Yang?" When mentioning Gao Yang, Qin Jingniang hesitated for a while. When it comes to facing the principal wife, Qin Jingniang is still a bit timid, even if she is a general, she is afraid that if she says something wrong, she will get a bad name of slandering the principal wife.

While the two were snuggling and chatting, Xie Yaohuan walked into the bedroom slowly, seeing Fang Yiai's gentle faces, the officer Xie couldn't help but blushed, then turned around and was about to leave.

"Yaohuan, how's the accounting going?" Fang Yiai and Qin Jingniang stood up quickly, and after clearing their throats to cover up their embarrassment, Fang Yiai said plaintively.

Xie Yaohuan stood there in a daze for a while, then walked slowly to the tea table, handed the rice paper she had written in her hand to Fang Yiai, nodded and said: "This is the list you calculated, the county lord, please take a look."

Seeing the obvious change in Xie Yaohuan's tone from before, Fang Yiai was startled for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "Are you angry? You can't do that? My talented girl."

"Who is yours?" Xie Yaohuan complained, but her shy tone showed what she was thinking.

Seeing that the conversation was successful, Fang Yiai smiled slightly, "I have forgotten all the vows I made in the procuratorate before? Do you want to say it again to the lady in this county?"

Said, Fang Yiai sat in front of the tea table, and carefully checked the size of the article Xie Yaohuan had written.

Checking accounts, reconciling accounts, and checking sources have been busy until late at night. In the end, Fan Jin, who had returned from the food delivery, was brought in. The three of them worked together, and the two abacuses were fully activated, and finally a book with dozens of pages of detailed information was compiled. Reconciliation.

In the early morning of the next day, Fang Yiai opened the court to ask the case, and ordered the police to put Mei Zhusheng and Wang Tong in court. Fang Yiai followed the example of the cruel official Cai Shaobing and asked Zaoli to fetch the scorpion and the stick. The mouths of the two of them acted like gourds and scoops as cruel officials.

Looking at Mei Zhusheng and Wang Tong standing in the hall, Fang Yiai slapped the gavel and said coldly: "Bold criminal, why don't you kneel when you see me?"

"I'm the head of the county, how can I belong to you, a little brat!" Wang Tong was arrested, completely tearing his face with Fang Yi'ai, and yelled.

Mei Zhusheng stood where he was, nodded and closed his eyes and said softly, "The student is Master Qian Gu handpicked by the prefect of Caozhou. Kneeling you? Next life!"

"Okay! Be strong! Come on, smash the leg bones of the two of them and see if they kneel or not!" Fang Yiai had seen her eldest grandson Wuji and Cai Shaobing interrogated before, so she naturally learned a bit of the official accent , although not too proficient, it is still enough to deal with the two bottom officials.

As soon as these words came out, Mei Zhusheng's and Wang Tong's expressions changed, but just as Zaoli was striding forward with a water and fire stick in his hands, an official in a dark red official uniform came on eighth Accompanied by famous yamen servants, he strode into the Meiwu county yamen.

Hearing the shout, Fang Yiai raised his head to wait and see, and when he saw who was coming, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, thinking: "The big fish really came!"
