However, when Shen Wansheng received the urgent report, his anxiety suddenly calmed down.
What's supposed to come will come, what's the use of being anxious
If it's bad news, it's just revenge.
Unfolding the paper, Shen Wansheng's expression turned gloomy instantly. He couldn't help laughing loudly and shouted "Okay" twice.
"Back to the city!"
After knowing what happened in Anshun County, Shen Wansheng breathed a sigh of relief and decided to add fuel to the fire.
The Xu Mansion is a family of three men, right
The achievements of King Taiping are indeed unparalleled, and how long can the Xu Mansion continue to be glorious relying on the achievements of King Taiping
…
Shen Wansheng inexplicably summoned his guards to go on the road, and then returned with them inexplicably, which really left many people confused as to what happened.
Of course, not understanding what happened is actually just a bit confusing and has no big impact.
But when some people were giving advice in prison and criticizing Shen Wansheng, the prefect, and the person concerned appeared behind these people, the impact was quite big.
"Tell me, why don't you continue?"
"I don't even know that I am so unbearable in the hearts of my colleagues!"
Shen Wansheng had a cold face and looked at the group of officials from Xiangyi Prefecture who were fawning over the old steward of Xu Mansion with evil intentions. This is the person who praises and compliments him in various ways on weekdays, but behind his back, he actually comments on him like this.
"Since I am such an unworthy person, then everyone should prepare your resignation!"
"Tomorrow morning, if I don't see the resignation, I wouldn't mind having a good chat with you about something!"
Do you really think that he, Shen Wansheng, has no temper
Shen Wansheng usually doesn't care about these people, but it doesn't mean that he can't help them. It's just that I don't want to cause trouble. After all, even if it were replaced by someone else, all kinds of corruption would still be inevitable.
But now, these people are like this, no wonder he is merciless.
"Master Prefect, what mistake have we made?"
Some people who are not afraid of death feel that it is time to show their strength, and plan to use this to leave a strong impression in front of Xu Yuanzun and the old steward of Xu Mansion.
Unfortunately, Shen Wansheng just glanced at the other party and said calmly: "In the eighth year of Yongping, when the Qujiang dam was repaired, you were greedy for money and food, totaling more than three thousand taels of silver."
"In the ninth year of Yongping..."
"My lord, magistrate, forgive me. I know I was wrong. I will write my resignation when I get back!"
Before Shen Wansheng could finish his words, this man of character was already kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.
At this point, everyone else present was completely honest.
I wanted to climb Gao Zhi'er, but before I could reach Gao Zhi'er, the backyard was ransacked.
Complain
blame!
Hate
Don’t dare to hate!
Shen Wansheng obviously understood all the dirty things they did, even if there were some omissions. However, if Shen Wansheng revealed something casually, they would be doomed.
A group of people left the prison in fear. When they went back to write their resignations, they also asked their families to pack their bags and plan to leave at dawn.
They didn't dare to bet. If Shen Wansheng regretted it, it would be too late for them to leave.
For the sake of the rest of your life, it's better to get away as soon as possible.
…
"Prefect Shen is really good at this!"
The old steward of the Xu Mansion stood quietly in the waist-deep cold water, laughing.
"Does the old gentleman also think that I have good abilities?"
"hehe!"
Faced with questions like Shen Wansheng's, the old steward was obviously not willing to answer them.
Shen Wansheng was also smiling, squinting at the old steward in the water cell, and said: "Not long ago, our office received an urgent report from Anshun County that a horse thief was trying to rob Xiaoyi Lang's house. Fortunately, the mysterious knight took action. Eighteen extremely vicious horse thieves were all brought to justice."
"We, the people of the Tang Dynasty, are truly lucky to have such chivalrous people."
"What do you think, old gentleman?"
"impossible!"
The old steward was stunned, and then roared loudly.
"I, the Eighteen Iron Cavalry of the Xu Mansion, charge head-on into the battle, and can serve as a hundred cavalry."
"I don't know about this. After all, I have never seen any eighteen cavalry before! Haha, haha..."
Shen Wansheng laughed proudly and arrogantly.
"Shen Wansheng, you bastard, let me go quickly!"
When Shen Wansheng laughed, Xu Yuanzun suddenly roared.
"You dare to do this to me, you are dead!"
"I tell you, unless you kill me, when I go out, I will definitely kill you!"
"Kill your whole family!"
Xu Yuanzun, who had never been hit by a finger since he was a child, went out for the first time to run an errand, and brought a team of eighteen cavalry with him. But now, the eighteen cavalry were gone, and he himself was beaten fifty times. Thrown into prison.
How could he endure this
When Shen Wansheng heard Xu Yuanzun's shouting, he immediately turned his head and looked over.
"Do you think that I don't dare to kill you?"
"nonsense!"
"You dare?"
"I am the son of An Taigong, and I will soon become the heir to An Taigong. Do you dare to kill me? It's not that I look down on you, but I want to lend you a bear's heart and a leopard's courage. You kill one of them and I'll see!"
"Master Yuanzun, stop talking!"
The old steward suddenly spoke, trying to stop Xu Yuanzun from stimulating Shen Wansheng.
However, Xu Yuanzun is now in a state of madness. After receiving a beating, he feels that he has accepted the greatest grievance in the world. How can he listen to other people's advice
"Old guy, shut up!"
"Don't think I don't know what you are?"
"Isn't it just that you fell in love with your great-grandmother?"
"Why do you think my father asked you to come out with me? Let me tell you the truth, you old man, if you come out this time, don't even think about coming back alive!"
"Master, I have received instructions from my father to send you on your way!"
“…”
Shen Wansheng stared at Xu Yuanzun who was talking nonsense there. He really never dreamed that he could hear such a big melon.
What if this is true
That can be regarded as the biggest scandal in the Xu family!
"Master Yuanzun, I am an eunuch. Even if you want to slander me, you should think about whether your words are appropriate!"
"You are so disappointing!"
The old steward sighed and no longer paid attention to Xu Yuanzun lying there.
Mud cannot hold up a wall, and rotten wood cannot be carved.
The old steward didn't want to talk to Xu Yuanzun, but Xu Yuanzun refused to calm down.
"You lied, you can't deceive me!"
"You are just hooking up with that old godly woman!"
"Shen Wansheng, go and see that old dog and see if he is a man!"
Seeing that the old manager no longer paid attention to him, Xu Yuanzun looked at Shen Wansheng.
Shen Wansheng chuckled and said, "Who do you think you are? Who do you think he is? You dog bites dog, what's the matter with this house?"
After casually eating such a big mouthful of melon, Shen Wansheng was wondering if he could hear some more interesting secrets. How could he interfere in the dispute between the two
"Shen Wansheng, don't be arrogant!"
"If you do this favor to me, I can let go of the vengeance you caused me."
"Otherwise, when I go out, I will never let you have an easy time."
"Not only you, but your whole family, I won't let you have an easy time!"
Xu Yuanzun, who was used to being domineering in the capital, still did not feel awe in his heart even though he was beaten by Shen Wansheng.
"Prefect Shen, I know you have murderous intentions!"
"It's just that I hope you can think twice!"
The old steward of the Xu Mansion really didn't want to talk to Xu Yuanzun anymore, but after hearing Xu Yuanzun's death-seeking words, he couldn't ignore it. After all, even if Xu Yuanzun was disrespectful to him, Xu Yuanzun was still the young master of Xu Mansion, and he was just a slave of Xu Mansion.
The meaning of his life is to protect Xu Mansion and its master.
"Master Yuanzun is just a child who was spoiled by An Taigong. He is not bad in nature, he is just arrogant and careless in what he says."
"Old dog, shut up!"
"What kind of person am I? Do I need you to talk too much?"
Xu Yuanzun yelled at the old steward, and then looked at Shen Wancheng, "Shen Wancheng, I have never spoken so seriously as now."
"Listen carefully, either you kill me, or when I get out, I kill you!"
"I, Xu Yuanzun, swear by the blood of King Taiping that I will not be a human unless I avenge this revenge!"
Shen Wansheng was silent.
He didn't know what kind of person Xu Yuanzun was.
With Xu Yuanzun's current willfulness and arrogance, Shen Wansheng could think that Xu Yuanzun was a loser who had no place on the stage. But if all this is just Xu Yuanzun's disguise, then he can only say that he has met a master this time.
"Master Yuanzun, please stop saying a few words!"
The old steward was really speechless.
Xu Yuanzun didn't listen to him at all.
To go out of his way to provoke a powerful local magistrate like this is like hanging someone who is too old to live too long.
"Xu Yuanzun, you are very interesting!"
Shen Wansheng smiled slightly and glanced at Xu Wishan's slightly ferocious face, "I have seen many people in this house, including some dandies, but there has never been anyone like you."
"Perhaps you are indeed a fool!"
"Or maybe you're just pretending to be crazy."
"I've been hesitant about how to deal with you."
"If you don't dare, just say you don't dare, say some high-sounding words, and deceive yourself and others. Isn't that interesting?"
Xu Yuanzun suddenly interrupted Shen Wansheng.
Although he was lying on the ground, he still managed to raise his hand and pointed at Shen Wansheng, "You are just a coward. I, I, look down on you, hahahaha..."
"Maybe you're right, I'm just a coward!"
Shen Wansheng smiled and said, "I can't risk my family."
"So, please go die!"
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention, I, Shen Wansheng, have never been a good person!"
After saying these words, Shen Wansheng turned to look at the guards behind him, "Send them on their way!"
"No-"
"Shen Wansheng, how dare you?"
Upon hearing what Shen Wansheng said, Xu Yuanzun, who was still extremely arrogant in the prison just now, was dumbfounded, anxious, and panicked.
However, it was useless.
Xu Yuanzun, died!
The old steward of the Xu Mansion died! (End of chapter)
