Yaoyao saw that Ye Xiaotian had something serious to discuss, so he obediently withdrew.
Hua Yunfei nodded excitedly at Ye Xiaotian, took out a cloth-wrapped thing from his bosom, opened it layer by layer, and inside was an account book.
Ye Xiaotian took the account book, opened it and read it carefully. Mr. Nan compared the account book of the customs, and whenever he found a problem, he put a special mark on it, which is clear at a glance. Ye Xiaotian only flipped through a few pages, then nodded with a smile, he didn't need to read any more, the few problems he had already found were enough for him to take action.
Ye Xiaotian put away the account books, and walked slowly in the flower hall, Hua Yunfei said excitedly: "Brother, do you want to act immediately and catch them all?"
Ye Xiaotian glanced at him and said, "Take action against whom?"
Hua Yunfei said: "Of course it is Dawanshansi's Tiger Pass and our Huluguan. Their account books are fake, and they are obviously involved in the ban. There is also Chang's Car and Horse Company. These trucks with inconsistent numbers can be They are all driven by Chang’s chariots and horses.”
Ye Xiaotian shook his head, raised his eyes to look at the sky, and said decisively: "There is no guarantee that there will be no news leaked in Moon Bay. The night is long and dreamy, and you will be arrested immediately. You go, and immediately ask Bantou Su to call the third squad of arrests. Needless to say, the reason is, When I arrive, I will assign tasks."
Hua Yunfei said excitedly: "Yes! Do you want to ask Luo Xunjian to send troops to help?"
Ye Xiaotian said: "Arresting a few tax officials and a few stewards of Chang's Chariot and Horse Company will not require officers and soldiers to go out, right?"
Hua Yunfei said: "Tiger Pass is not the territory of our Huxian County. I am worried that the people in Tiger Pass will not be convinced. If they incite the local chief constables to resist arrest, our arresters may suffer losses."
Ye Xiaotian shook his head and said: "We can't arrest the officials of the neighboring county. The magistrate Zhang gave me the right to handle cases across counties, but it's just for investigation. If we go to Dawanshan Division to arrest people, it's unreasonable. We just have to Just control the people from Huluguan and Chang’s Chariots and Horses respectively. Next, there will be a lot of verbal lawsuits.”
Hua Yunfei said sincerely: "Yes!" He immediately turned back and went down the mountain to look for Su Xuntian.
Su Xuntian was notified by Hua Yunfei, and immediately summoned three classes of yamen servants. The yamen servants all lived in a small county town. The small town is not big, and the sound of a drum spread throughout the city. Those arresters heard the drumbeat and knew it was the county government office. Summoned, hurriedly piled up their jobs and rushed to the county government.
Hua Qingfeng was lounging in the concubine Ziyu's room, when he suddenly heard the drum beating suddenly, the frequency of the drums didn't seem like someone was beating the drum to complain, besides, it was already released at this time, and it was impossible for anyone to complain, so Hua Qingfeng hurried to the concubine She got out of the room and rushed to the second hall, just in time to see a night watchman, Hua Qingfeng hurriedly stopped him and said: "Who is playing the drum? Why is the drum sound so chaotic?"
The man replied: "My lord, listening to the sound of the drum, it should be to summon the third squad of arresters."
Hua Qingfeng turned pale with shock, and said, "Who will call the third squad?"
As soon as he uttered this sentence, he knew that he was stupid to ask. The chief bookkeeper was in charge of the sixth room, the county magistrate was in charge of the third class, and he, the county magistrate, was in charge of the county magistrate and the chief bookkeeper. There are only two people in Huxian County who have the power to summon the third squad of arresters. Besides him, he is the county magistrate. Zhang Dianshi's character will not be mobilized without authorization.
"Ye Xiaotian summoned the third class of yamen servants, at this hour?"
Hua Qingfeng immediately thought of Ye Xiaotian's trip to Dawanshan Division. Ye Xiaotian went to Dawanshan Division, but found nothing. Mansion, to sue him, Ye Xiaotian summoned three classes of yamen servants at this time..."
Hua Qingfeng rolled his eyes, let the drums rumble, turned around and went to the concubine's room, continuing to enjoy his warm moments.
The sound of the drum also alarmed Master Wang. Master Wang had dinner late, and he hadn’t eaten yet. He was sitting in the study, sipping fragrant tea and resting his eyes with his eyes closed. Looking in the direction of the county government office, listening to the rumbling drum, I was in doubt.
The gate that had been closed after the release of the Yamen was opened at this time, and the policemen who arrived first had already lit torches and lined up on both sides of the gate, illuminating a long, brightly lit road leading directly to the Yimen Gate. The arrester who arrived later arrived at the gate of the yamen, saw this posture, and immediately quickened his pace.
Soon, when the last yamen servant stepped into the gate, two rows of torches retracted at the snake letter spewed out by the giant snake, and the gate closed with a bang. Hua Yunfei led the two policemen to stand at the gate and pressed Holding a waist knife, like a door god.
All the arresters arrived at the courtyard where the county magistrate was located, stood up one by one, and gestured to each other with their eyes, but everyone was at a loss, not knowing what happened. After waiting for a while, Ye Xiaotian, Zhang Dianshi, and Su Xuntian came out of the signing room. Ye Xiaotian stood still on the steps and shouted in a deep voice: "Now there are lawbreakers in our county, who are greedy and corrupt. Immediately follow Zhang Dianshi and Subantou to apprehend them, and not one person will be released, and offenders will be punished severely!"
Zhang Dianshi was originally standing behind Ye Xiaotian, and when Ye Xiaotian finished speaking, he immediately strode down the stone steps and pointed out: "You, you, you, all of you, follow me!"
The order Zhang Dianshi received was to arrest several key personnel of the tax department. These people lived in the city and were easy to arrest, so they brought fewer people. After Zhang Dianshi finished counting people, he waved his hand and left first. Go, did not announce to everyone where and what to do.
The rest of the people naturally followed Su Xuntian. Su Xuntian was going to arrest people at Chang's car and horse dealership next to the post station outside the city. There were many reckless people among them. , and opened the arsenal, and everyone was issued a waist knife to replace the usual water and fire sticks.
As soon as Su Xuntian led the people out of the county government office, Hua Yunfei followed with the two guards. If someone in Chang's car and horse dealership really dared to resist arrest, with someone like him around, he would be more confident. When Su Xuntian led his men to pull up a long dragon with torches and ran across the long street, Zhang Dianshi led his men to arrest him, and the first one to arrest him was Chen Muyan, the tax ambassador.
Ye Xiaotian stayed in the county office, turned around and went to the back house to look for Hua Qingfeng. He thought that when he heard the drumbeat, Hua Qingfeng would come out to ask what happened. Unexpectedly, Hua Qingfeng could hold his breath and hide in the back house pretending to be deaf and dumb, so he had no choice but to go to the door. He still needs the cooperation of the county magistrate.
The six guards around Ye Xiaotian followed him like shadows. Ye Xiaotian was also very helpless to these six people, he knew that these six people were all martial arts, and they were not afraid of death, so he wanted to send them to cooperate with Su Xuntian's actions, but...he couldn't order them.
The gods sent these people to protect him, Ye Xiaotian talked about it so that they understood that he couldn't arrange so many people to the county government as arresters, so he assigned ten people to guard his house, and these six were the best in martial arts Those who are not, act as catchers, follow him to the Yamen every day during the day, and follow him back to the house at night.
Of course they are loyal to Ye Xiaotian, if Ye Xiaotian is in danger, they will rush forward without hesitation, even if they die, as long as they can protect Ye Xiaotian's safety, they will not frown. But Ye Xiaotian wanted to instruct them to do something else for him, as long as he let them out of his sight, they would not agree.
The highest mission they accept is to protect the safety of His Holiness. This mission is higher than any other order, even if that order comes from His Holiness. When you use "god" to restrict others, you yourself will inevitably be bound by this "god", even if this "god" is created by you.
Countless venerables have always followed the rules for thousands of years. Some are selfish and ambitious, but they are also sneaky and secretive. In the end, it is difficult to make things happen. I am afraid that this is also the reason. They restrained those seedlings in the deep mountains, and created a supreme god for them. Through this belief, they indeed obtained supreme authority, but at the same time, they also lost their freedom and self, because he must also be subject to this. "God" bondage.
What Ye Xiaotian wants to do now is to truly hold this power in his own hands, and turn himself into the supreme god of this power, instead of fabricating a void god and making himself a slave of this god, even if it is senior slave. But until this goal is achieved, he can only endure.
Master Wang couldn't sit still, the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, his eyelids twitched slightly, and there was always an ominous feeling. When the dinner was served, Master Wang finally made up his mind, threw his chopsticks, ordered someone to prepare the car, and went to the county Ya rush to.
When Zhang Dianshi rushed to Chen Muyan's house, Chen Muyan was having dinner with his family, a family of three, one meat and one vegetarian dish. Although the taxation of Huxian County is very bad, there are post road taxes to supplement after all. The county's financial constraints do not mean that the tax officials are also poor. As a tax official, Ambassador Chen is famous for his incorruptibility.
Even Zhang Dianshi, who just came to Hu County, has heard a lot about Chen Muyan's reputation, so when he heard Ye Xiaotian's order to arrest Chen Muyan, he still couldn't believe it. But since Ye Xiancheng gave such an order, he could only follow the order.
Seeing Zhang Dianshi leading people into her home, Chen Muyan showed a strange expression on her face, stood up slowly, stretched out her hand to hold down the surprised wife, and smiled and nodded to her daughter who was just in front of cardamom, calmly He said to Zhang Dianshi: "Master Zhang, what do you intend to do by breaking into my house without warning?"
Envoy Zhang Dian cupped his hands and said, "Ambassador Chen, I have been sent by the county magistrate, and I have a case to attend to!"
Chen Muyan's eyes flickered suddenly, she nodded and smiled, "Okay! I'll go with you!"
"Mister..." Chen Muyan's wife stood up in panic, grabbed Chen Muyan's arm, Chen Muyan patted her arm lightly, and comforted her softly: "Don't worry, lady, I'm fine, you stay at home and wait for me return!"
Chen Muyan took the outer robe, put on the hat, and calmly said to Zhang Dianshi: "Let's go!"
Zhang Dianshi smiled at him and said, "Ambassador Chen, you can't leave now!"
Zhang Dianshi turned his head and ordered: "Ma Hui, search for me!"
Hearing this, Chen Muyan's face finally changed a little.
