The word calculating has two meanings. The derogatory meaning is to design and plot against others in order to achieve one's own goals and harm the interests of others; the positive meaning is to plan and win a thousand miles away. As for which one is applicable, success or failure is the key to the hero. Three days later, the county jail is busy, and Jiang Anyi and Zhang Keji are not idle either. This shameful discussion went on until the second day, and then they dispersed. The night went back to silence.

The next day, Shi Tou and Huang Dongquan took their servants out to inquire about the news, to see if the government's notice was known, and whether the medicinal materials were sold were normal, so they could find the people who were harmed by the Xu family and ask them to complain. In the evening, Shi Tou and others came back one after another to report the situation to Jiang Anyi and Zhang Keji.

County Magistrate Wang asked someone to post the notice, County Magistrate Qin asked the yamen runners to go to the countryside to promote it, and then the county magistrate, chief clerk, and county magistrate were not concerned about his affairs and were preparing to watch the fun. The county magistrates from both sides were busy preparing for the promotion in three days.

Jiang Anyi's eyes basically returned to normal the next day. I remembered the few wooden boxes that Xu Mingyuan transported away from the back door of the county government that night. I didn't see them when I was searching. Jiang Anyi took a break from busy to visit the treasure. The Changchun Temple still remembers it fresh. He didn't make any fortune. Jiang Anyi searched inside and outside, and found a secret room in the room where Xu Mingyuan lived. He opened the calligraphy and paintings on the wall. There was a small door behind it. Inside the small door was a secret room. Linlang placed many antique calligraphy and paintings on the wooden rack, and a few good swords.

There were wooden boxes piled up in the corner of the wall, and eight boxes from County Magistrate Yan were among them. Open the boxes, the white ones were silver, the yellow ones were gold, and the colorful ones were silk. Jiang Anyi estimated that the wealth in the twenty boxes alone would be less than 200,000 taels. No one was too concerned about the money. Jiang Anyi hid his secret and took the sword to Shi Tou. Shi Tou has been learning art with him for several years, and his kung fu has increased. This time he came to Fuluo County with him, and he took the initiative to do things and wanted to praise and encourage him.

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. On the night before the ceremony, Jiang Anyi called a few banquets, and everyone was eating and talking in the courtyard. Huang Dongquan was much more steady. He spoke in a good manner. He wiped the oil and water from his mouth with his sleeves and said, "Cousin, I have traveled to three townships these days, Shitou has also traveled to three townships. In addition to the others, all eleven townships in Fuluo County have been traveling to all."

"Yes, thank you for your hard work in Dongquan, I'll give you a cup."

Huang Dongquan was not afraid of his parents but his cousin. When he saw Jiang Anyi thanking him, his bones were three points lighter. He picked up the cup and drank it all, and boasted: "Cousin, when I went to a place, I told the local people that the new county master drove away the bully Xu Mingyuan. From now on, the medicinal materials can be sold spontaneously. If anyone has any grievances, he can go to the lobby to appeal in three days."

"What do those people say?" Jiang Anyi asked.

Huang Dongquan said ungratefully: "The common people all agreed and then they dispersed."

Jiang Anyi shook his head slightly and said, "There are already drug dealers purchasing medicinal materials in the three places I went to. It turns out that Qingpi, who was looking at goods in the village, also ran away. Everyone said that the young master is a good official."

The other servants also explained what they saw and heard. Zhang Keji asked: "Have you ever seen the yamen runners in the government proclaiming notices in the village?"

Everyone shook their heads, Shi Tou thought for a while and said, "I saw two yamen runners sitting in the village restaurant drinking, as if they were talking to the township."

There were all acquaintances in the seat. Zhang Keji took off his mask. Everyone saw it more often, so he naturally got used to it. Zhang Keji pondered: "Sir, I'm afraid of going to the hall tomorrow to have a fight openly and secretly. Xu Mingyuan can be rampant for many years and is very related to the collusion between the clerks and yamen runners in the county. I heard that when the Qin County Wei came first, I wanted to compete with Xu Mingyuan, but I must have lost. Now I'm drinking every day. This time, I'm driving Xu Mingyuan away, so I might as well communicate more with the Qin County Wei. As for Wang County Magistrate and Liu Zhuzhu, you might as well spend more time to understand."

There was nothing to say overnight. On the third and seventh day of Fuluo County, Jiang Anyi rode a horse from Xu's mansion to the county government. He saw many people along the way, and the county government government was surrounded by water. The newly appointed county magistrate was promoted to the court for the first time to ask about the case. Everyone was not allowed to come and see the excitement. Some businessmen even closed the store and watched the excitement.

Entering the county government office from the corner gate, changing his official uniforms in the flower hall. Yan Kaichen, Wang County Magistrate and others had already arrived. After greeting each other, Jiang Anyisheng sat under the plaque with "The mirror hanging high" and set up seats on both sides, allowing Yan Kaichen, Wang County Magistrate, Liu Zhubo and Qin County Magistrate to sit down.

As soon as he knocked on the arson, the yamen runners on both sides knocked on the ground with the water and fire sticks in their hands, and the "magnificent" sounded. Jiang Anyi's expression was dazed. This feeling was different from the lonely sitting in the official party of the Ministry of Rites. It is said that the county magistrate is Bailihou, and the feeling of power in hand is intoxicating.

"Go to the hall", the gate of the yamen opened, and the crowd rushed in, standing under the platform in front of the lobby to watch the fun. Jiang Anyi saw a crowd of wuya outside the door in the lobby, and someone looked inside, and the yamen runners maintained order.

A yamen runner shouted in front of the lobby: "The master is promoted to the church, and those who are wronged come to the court." After shouting several times, no one came to the court.

Jiang Anyi was stunned. What's going on? He went to the hall with great fanfare, but no one complained. He glanced at the hall and saw Yan Kaichen and others sitting alone without saying anything. The yamen runners on both sides showed sarcastic smiles, and the officials in the corner looked at him with pride and laughed.

I don’t know where the problem was. Jiang Anyi turned slightly and signaled to the stone behind. The stone was clever and slipped out of the lobby from behind. The lobby was silent, and everyone was waiting to see the good show of County Magistrate Jiang. Jiang Anyi’s eyes turned and knew that he couldn’t wait, so he said: “Today, we will be promoted to the hall, and the county will try the case of Xu Mingyuan bullying and dominating the city and fish countryside. Xu Mingyuan fled, but his subordinates captured many of them and brought these people to the hall.”

The crowd was in a stir, and amid the quarrels, the yamen runner mentioned from the prison general Xu Mingyuan's subordinates that there were more than a dozen women, and the lobby was full of people. Jiang Anyi said coldly: "Xu Mingyuan does evil things, and you will be aiding the evil as his subordinates. The crime is unforgivable. Today, Japanese counties ask you to make meritorious service and atone for your sins. Who can expose Xu Mingyuan's crimes and be punished with slight consequences?"

These people have already greeted the yamen runners and cannot admit their guilt. They will find a way to get them out. As expected, Jiang Anyi asked, everyone shouted for justice, saying that they were servants hired by Xu Mingyuan. They were confused for a moment and obeyed the Lord's orders and besieged the Lord. Please forgive me.

Yan Kaichen narrowed his eyes and looked at Jiang Anyi. Jiang An's face turned blue with anger, and he was secretly proud of himself. Even if you are the top scholar in the three-yuan ranking, you are still fooled by a group of small people. Qin County Magistrate sighed in his heart. This Lord Jiang is still too young, and he is so lucky that he didn't go to find him.

Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "You dare to shout for justice, but you are stubborn. The person who comes, brings Zhang Putian."

With the sound of shackles, Zhang Putian moved to the hall step by step. His assassination of the county magistrate was a death sentence, so he put on torture instruments. Jiang Anyi ordered people to remove the torture instruments and asked, "Zhang Putian, do you know the crime."

"Sir, the villain is wronged." Zhang Putian knew that he could not escape, so he just kept it to the end and argued: "The villain received a notice that someone committed an offense in the Xu Mansion. When the villain arrived, he saw casualties in the place. The villain was anxious and ordered to shoot arrows." "I have already shown his promise, why do you still have to shoot arrows? Xu Mingyuan promised you five thousand taels of silver, so he bought your life?" Jiang Anyi said angrily.

Although the situation today was unexpected, Jiang Anyi was not unprepared. He discussed with Zhang Keji that he would start from Zhang Putian. In the past few days, he collected a series of bad things about Zhang Putian doing evil, oppressing the people, and taking human lives into consideration. He was promoted one by one in the court.

Zhang Putian is a dead pig, not afraid of boiling water. He knew that he could not be good, so he simply refused to admit it. He thought that after being beaten several times, the county magistrate could not find the evidence, and perhaps he could escape death.

Seeing Zhang Putian bowing his head and saying nothing, Jiang Anyi sneered: "Lin Qiang, Ma Shaogong, Chen Dongqiang, Huang Mingfa."

All four were in the class. When the county magistrate called his name, he hurriedly stood up and agreed. Jiang Anyi said, "You four were with Zhang Putian to shoot the official arrow that day, and you can tell the crime." The four of them had a bitter face, and Chen Dongqiang responded, "Sir, you have forgiven us that day."

"Yes, I did spare you, but I wouldn't say you are innocent." Jiang Anyi pointed at Zhang Putian with his hand and said, "I heard that this thief has bullied you a lot on weekdays. Today I will give you a chance to take revenge, pull Zhang Putian down, and hit me with a heavy forty slam."

The adults are destined to not refuse to obey. Lin Qiang and others came over to raise Zhang Putian. Huang Ming was timid and muttered softly: "Zhang Tou, we have no choice but to do so. Don't be surprised."

Zhang Putian glared at the few people fiercely without saying a word. Jiang Anyi said again: "Put Zhang Putian on the platform outside the lobby to execute the punishment, so that the people of Fuluo can exert their anger."

Sure enough, when everyone who watched the fun saw Zhang Putian being beaten, they didn't dare to applaud him because of his tyranny, but they all showed joy. There was something special about beating people. Lin Qiang and others beat him up, and it looked like Zhang Putian was covered in blood and flesh, but he was not seriously injured.

Lin Qiang and others handed over the order. Jiang Anyi looked expressionless and pointed four more people's names, continuing forty big boards. Three rounds in a row, one hundred and twenty boards were gone. Even if he beat him lightly, Zhang Putian could not bear it. He Qiangren, a yamen runner who had a good relationship with Zhang Putian, gritted his teeth and pleaded with mercy: "Sir, this has been hit 120 boards. If you beat him again, you will be killed. I hope you can give him your life."

Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "He Qiangren, you have a share when Zhang Putian does bad things, so you will fight these forty boards."

He Qiangren's face changed and he said, "Sir, you are a forceful person. If a villain doesn't become a yamen runner, everyone should not do it. This dog official clearly wants Zhang Putian's life. He will deal with Zhang Putian today and will deal with us another day. We don't treat this as a gangster, and we will be angry with this."

Seeing that some of the yamen runners lost their water and fire sticks, it seemed that they were going to respond to He Qiangren's call. Jiang Anyi shouted coldly: "Roaring at the court, agitation, and I will take He Qiangren down with me. Whoever wants to obey He Qiangren will be punished together."

Twelve people had beaten Zhang Putian just now, which was considered offending him and obeying the orders of the Xin County Magistrate. Now some people don’t want to listen, so they are against them. Lin Qiang and others immediately stepped forward to take He Qiangren down. When the others saw that the situation was not good, they remembered the people who were lying all over the Xu Mansion that day. Their own people were not enough for the county magistrate to squeak, and they shivered and returned to the team quickly.
