I'm just a soldier, why should I fight you in a duel?

The old man was very angry.

"What kind of loyalty and courage do you have, you rotten fish and shrimp!"

Wei Yuan shook his wrist and shook off the blood splashed on the evil spirit with a little disdain.

None of these evil retainers raised by the Lu family are good people. They usually do some bad things like having a son but not having that.

They confiscate the property and kill people, bully the people, and run rampant in the county.

Therefore, Wei Yuan's thunderous move can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people in advance.

There will be no pity in his heart.

Looking at this scene in front of them, several martial arts monks were stunned in an instant, and the blood splashed on their faces was still a little warm.

The man who had been drinking with them yesterday had now become a headless corpse.

They really didn't expect Wei Yuan to be so decisive and cruel, and not to show them any mercy.

"Retreat!"

The soldiers took a step forward, raised their spears and smashed them on the ground.

The evil spirit emanating from their bodies seemed to turn into a gust of cold wind blowing towards the guests.

It was not until their exposed skin felt a sting that they woke up and retreated back to Lu's mansion.

Cheng Ren brought a chair from somewhere, trotted over and placed it behind Wei Yuan, smiling flatteringly.

"Sir! Please sit down!"

Wei Yuan nodded, sat on it with a big horse and a golden sword, and pointed to the dozen corpses at the door.

"Find a few more people to wash the floor."

"Don't worry, Sir Wei!"

Cheng Ren bowed his head and smiled and clasped his fists.

"I will order someone to take the body away right now."

"I promise it won't bother Lord Wei."

A dozen yamen runners quickly took away all the bodies in front of the Lu Mansion, and even cleaned up the bloodstains on the ground.

...

As the sun was about to set,

a burst of rapid horse hoof sounds suddenly sounded from the other end of the street.

Wei Yuan woke up from his practice, stood up and looked in the direction of the sound.

The person who came was Liu Qingdi who was going to deliver the message to Taoist Wu.

Wei Yuan raised his lips and was secretly happy.

Finally, he could confiscate the house.

Otherwise, staying in this place would inevitably delay the practice of the Mansion Army and himself.

Liu Qingdi turned over and got off the horse, excitedly took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Wei Yuan.

"The Sky Patrol has sent a message. The evidence is irrefutable. All the people in the Lu family should be put in jail first and beheaded on a chosen day."

Wei Yuan took the envelope but did not open it. He just nodded.

Then he ordered the soldier next to him to call Captain Cheng.

It would be better to let the captain take a look at the new order.

To avoid any trouble.

After a while,

Cheng Ren ran over with a knife in his hand.

"Sir, you called me?"

Wei Yuan handed over the envelope in his hand and pointed at Liu Qingdi beside him.

"This is the real lord of the Sky Patrol! I am just a messenger."

Hearing the three words "Sky Patrol", Cheng Ren's body immediately trembled visibly.

You know, it is rumored that the people in the Sky Patrol are all ruthless people who kill without blinking an eye, and they have the privilege of killing first and reporting later.

It seems that Lu Qingfeng's crime is completely confirmed.

Fortunately, I am not too close to him.

Thinking of this, Chengren bowed his head in fear and stammered while clasping his fists.

"It turns out... it turns out to be the Lord of the Patrol Department."

As he said that, he slapped his face again.

"I really don't know the great man, I hope the Lord will forgive me!"

Liu Qingdi frowned slightly, his eyes were full of seriousness and scrutiny, and he didn't know why this person was so afraid of him.

"The envelope contains the secret order of the Patrol Department. After you read it, take people to deal with it!"

The cold voice came into Chengren's ears, and he hurriedly opened the envelope in his hand and read it.

After a moment,

he carefully put the letter back into the envelope and handed it to Liu Qingdi.

"I understand. I will send someone to take all the people from the Lu Mansion to jail."

"But..."

Chengren looked at Wei Yuan, as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

"What?"

Liu Qingdi looked a little unhappy.

"Can't such a big government office even catch people?"

Chengren smiled bitterly and explained hurriedly.

"To be honest!"

"Since Lu Qingfeng took office, he has reduced the number of government officials from the original 100 to the current 30."

"Now, there are more than 100 people in the Lu Mansion, and more than a dozen warriors,

I really have the will but not the ability!"

He glanced at Wei Yuan secretly and said,

"Otherwise, I would not have asked Lord Wei to ask the brothers of the government army to help me to calm the situation!"

"Could it be that Lu Qingfeng dares to eat the empty salary of the court?"

Wei Yuan touched his chin and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"He is so bold! The county magistrate of this county really made him understand."

Cheng Ren hurriedly grabbed Wei Yuan's arm and looked around with a sly look.

"Sir, this is your guess, I didn't say anything."

Wei Yuan smiled.

"Don't be afraid of anything!"

"Now that Lu Qingfeng is dead, I am afraid that Wei has the highest official position in Lin'an County except for Liu Xunshi!"

"What else are you afraid of? "

Hearing this, Chengren lowered his head and said nothing more.

Some things can be said by the captain of the guards and by the patrol officer Liu.

But he, the head constable, cannot say them.

Seeing Chengren's appearance and combining it with what he said unintentionally just now, Liu Qingdi has guessed it almost exactly.

Behind the "eating empty salaries" incident, I'm afraid Lu Qingfeng is not the only one.

If he took all these good things for himself, would the county magistrates and county lieutenants below let him feel good?

As for this head constable, it's probably because his status is too low, so he didn't get a share of it.

Otherwise, he wouldn't pretend to be like this today and pretend to be lost. out loud.

Liu Qingdi sighed inwardly.

What his father said was indeed true. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, no matter whether it is in the market or in the court.

The four words "intrigue" will always be deeply rooted in people's minds.

Now, Lu Qingfeng is about to be liquidated.

Pulling out the radish brings out the mud, and the other officials who have had transactions with him will probably be subject to investigation.

Once this matter is discovered.

Although those officials will not be stripped of their official hats, they will probably have to hand over most of their property to enrich the national treasury.

Liu Qingdi helped Chengren up and asked.

"Who else is involved in the empty salary? Do you have any evidence?"

Chengren's eyes inadvertently showed a hint of joy, but it was soon covered by panic, and he hurriedly shook his head.

"Sir, I didn't say anything?"

Hearing this, Wei Yuan suddenly raised his eyebrows, as if he understood the conversation between the two, and said excitedly.

"Eating empty salaries? "

"You mean, besides Lu Qingfeng, there are other people who are drawing a salary without doing anything?"

Seeing Cheng Ren hesitated and didn't say anything for a long time, Wei Yuan turned his head and looked at Liu Qingdi.

"Patrol Officer Liu, is drawing a salary without doing anything a serious crime? Do you need to search their house?"

Liu Qingdi shook her head with a tight face.

"At most, I'll just fine them some silver!"

"That's not a big deal!"

"But..."

Seeing Wei Yuan's excitement, Liu Qingdi couldn't help but said with a smile.

"Most of the property of these officials who draw a salary without doing anything has to be turned over to the national treasury."

When Wei Yuan heard this, he immediately became interested.

This is like a pillow when you are sleepy.

It's just the right time!

I didn't expect that in addition to the county magistrate's family, there would be a special surprise.
