Chapter two hundred and three: counseling the magistrate
"Go!" Cui Lao San waved his hand, and hundreds of Cui family guards surrounded Zhao Yan.
At this time, thirty-six young men in black stood in front of Zhao Yan.
Each of them had cold eyes, and just their momentum made the hundred guards feel depressed!
Fan Tianlong shouted: "Are you still afraid of these twenty or thirty people? Let me give it to me!"
Bang!
Fan Tianlong kicked a guard in the ass of a Cui family guard.
The Cui family guard was caught off guard and rushed towards the black-clothed imperial guards with long sticks.
Immediately afterwards, the Cui family guards behind gritted their teeth, and some even closed their eyes and rushed forward.
The moment they rushed over, the imperial soldiers moved.
They are all soldiers who have been trained in actual combat. They use almost no tricks in battle, and they aim to defeat their opponents as their sole purpose.
Next, Cui Laosan and Fan Tianlong saw a picture they had never seen in their lives and would remember it in their hearts for the rest of their lives.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Thirty-six people beat one hundred people, just like pulling radishes, almost knocking down one in one move, and it was straightforward.
The Cui family guards were thrown to the ground before they even started attacking. They basically had broken arms or legs, and they instantly lost their combat ability.
"Ah, it hurts... it hurts..."
A painful wailing sound came from the courtyard. In just a moment, all one hundred Cui family guards fell to the ground.
And there was not even a drop of sweat on the foreheads of the thirty-six men in black, and there were not even any wrinkles in their clothes.
"You...who are you?" Fan Tianlong asked in great fear.
Zhao Yan ignored him at all, but looked up at Cui Laosan and said, "Cui Laosan, today is the second day. If you don't do what I ask tomorrow night, I promise that the century-old Cui family will completely disappear from this world!"
Cui Laosan frowned deeply, and then gave a wink at the middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper not far away.
The middle-aged man immediately understood and took out a long crossbow from the back of the carriage, then quickly aimed and pointed at Zhao Yan.
Judging from his proficiency in manipulating long crossbows, he is obviously full of experience.
Just as the long crossbow was about to be launched, a small dagger appeared in Heiwa not far away.
"Swoosh!"
The dagger was thrown out instantly and inserted into the butler's shoulder.
"ah!"
The butler screamed in pain and fell to the ground.
Heiwa rushed over quickly, snatched the long crossbow, and checked that there were no other crossbow weapons in the carriage, and returned to Zhao Yan.
"I have hidden crossbow weapons in my private place, but I want to behead me." Zhao Yan looked at Cui Laosan and said.
Cui Laosan suddenly became nervous. The crossbow he bought at a high price from the crossbow he was about to be eliminated in the army and would not usually be taken out.
Unexpectedly, not only did it not come in handy today, but it was taken away!
At this moment, Cui Laosan felt that the person standing in front of him was simply a terrible devil.
"Today, I, Cui Yixiong, admit defeat. What do you want, money, fame, or a woman? As long as it is not too much, I can give it to you! As long as you agree, our conflict today will be exposed!" Cui Laosan had completely admitted his conscience.
Zhao Yan smiled faintly and said, "I want the Cui family to distribute 70% of its property to the people of Xingyuan County. Can you agree?"
70%?
"You are a lion who opens his mouth wide. Don't say 70%. Even if it is 10%, my Cui family will not be able to take it out!" Cui Laosan said with a glaring look.
"Then please come back and let your patriarch talk to me!" Zhao Yan said in a calm tone.
Cui Laosan's eyes rolled, thinking in his mind that for the sake of the present, the only one who can subdue this young man was the court. It seemed that Liu Shiqing could only deal with this trouble.
At that time, if the other party does not resist, he will be arrested in prison; if he is put on a pit, he will put a rebellious hat on his head.
If Liu Shiqing can't deal with him, then let the governor of Ganping Prefecture Mo Sheng deal with him.
Cui Laosan snorted coldly, turned his face and retreated.
Fan Tianlong's legs trembled slightly and retreated quickly.
After a moment, all the people from the Cui family left, and Cui Yanyan was also pulled away by them in a carriage.
...
After Cui Laosan and Fan Tianlong returned to the county town, they did not return to Cui’s mansion, but went straight to Xingyuan County.
"What, you even took out the crossbow, Third Brother, aren't you making a fool of yourself?" The magistrate Liu Shiqing said with a bitter look on his face.
Cui Laosan said ruthlessly: "Shiqing, this is the thing. You can do it. I only have one requirement. I can't let that kid leave Xingyuan County easily. If he can die unexpectedly, it would be even better!"
Liu Shiqing has always been timid and afraid of things. When he heard the word "accidental death", he couldn't help but frown, not knowing what to say.
Fan Tianlong, who was standing aside, added: "Mr. Liu, hiding a crossbow is a serious crime, and that kid is still from Changdan City. If he has a relationship in Changdan, he will shake out the Cui family's hiding a crossbow, even if he is guilty of rebellion, it is possible. By then, do you think your black hat can still be kept?"
Hearing this, Liu Shiqing almost didn't slide down from the chair.
He and the Cui family have always had a relationship of honor and disgrace. If the Cui family is about to collapse, the prefect Mo Sheng above will definitely be finished, and he naturally can't sit still as the county magistrate.
Liu Shiqing thought for a while and said, "Tomorrow, I will order someone to summon Zhao Yan and find an excuse to detain him first. As for how to deal with it, it's better to listen to the patriarch!"
Cui He, the head of the Cui family, will be back in the next two days. He is the real pillar of the Cui family.
And Liu Shiqing had another thing that he had not told the two of them. In the past two days, although Xingyuan County's opposition to the new policy has been booming and has even spread throughout Luzhou, the actual effect was not as Cui Laosan thought, and the people and scholars rose up, but the contrary.
Many officials in neighboring counties are in a state of waiting and watching, because once this resistance cannot win the hearts of the people, it is to disobey the emperor. Even if this crime is a little bit affected, it will completely block your future career.
Liu Shiqing is a person with no opinion and he is helpless. He has always liked to be in harmony, but this time, he had to stand on the same boat with the Cui family.
Zhao Yan also sent people to secretly investigate the situation of opposing the new policy in Xingyuan County. What surprised him was that after two days of quarrel with scholars, there was no expansion trend. In teahouses and restaurants, some scholars began to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of the new policy, and were not so opposed to the new policy.
Early the next morning, Zhao Yan had just finished breakfast, and two yamen runners came to the courtyard where he lived, claiming that the magistrate had something important to summon Zhao Yan and needed to go there. Because of Zhao Yan's identity as a juren, they were very kind to speak.
