Chapter 5: Wen Yuan kills corrupt officials

Gao Shun and Zhang Liao have little difference in martial arts. Although they are not the top generals of this era, they are already among the top generals. This fight immediately opened Yang Fan's eyes and sighed that they are very capable.

After all, Zhang Liao was young and was slightly weak in strength. After a long battle, he had already become tired. He shouted loudly, drove Gao Shun away, retreated to Liu Bo, protected Liu Bo, and took this opportunity to adjust his state.

"Zhongyun waited for a moment."

After Gao Shun was shaken away, he wanted to go up again to fight Zhang Liao, but was promptly held back by Yang Fan, who had been paying attention to the situation in the field.

"This little brother is so handsome, I don't know what to call him?"

After holding Gao Shun, Yang Fan smiled at Zhang Liao.

"Hmph, Zhang Liao, a certain family, has a name called Wenyuan, and is now a minor official in the county government."

Zhang Liao snorted coldly and replied.

"Oh? The little brother is a minor official in the county government office? I wonder if I know you?"

Hearing Zhang Liao's answer, Yang Fan was stunned and asked even happier.

"You are using force to murder the county magistrate Liu of this county. After being destroyed by Liao, you are still so confident and bullied me, no one called me?"

Yang Fan's behavior immediately made Zhang Liao feel disgusted, and he glared at him and shouted.

"You little boy, how dare you speak out here."

Gao Shun was furious and cursed.

"Zhongyun cannot."

Yang Fan turned his head and shook his head slightly at Gao Shun, stopping him. Gao Shun was puzzled, but he still obeyed the order and stopped talking. He just stared at Zhang Liao with his eyes tightly to prevent him from suddenly hurting people.

"Since Wen Yuan is an official in Mayi County, why don't he know this? This official is Yang Fan, the new Mayi County Magistrate, who was appointed by the governor."

Yang Fan looked at Zhang Liao with a puzzled look and said something was wrong. If the county changed its boss, how could Zhang Liao not know about him as a county official?

"Ah? It turns out that you are the new county magistrate, Lord Yang. Then... why did you attack Lord Liu like this?"

After Yang Fan revealed his identity, Zhang Liao suddenly seemed a little at a loss, and his pretty face suddenly turned red.

"Liu Bo is corrupt and abused the law. After being discovered by me, he refused to return the property embezzled in Mayi. He also gathered people to force me to submit to him by force and let me let him let him go. Fortunately, my guards were quite brave and surrendered to these black-hearted yamen runners who helped the evil. When my guards were about to arrest Liu Bo, they were interrupted by Wen Yuan."

Yang Fan spread his hands and said to Zhang Liao helplessly.

"Ah? Liu...Mr. Liu? Is what Mr. Yang said just now true?"

Zhang Liao was shocked and quickly turned his head to ask Liu Bo.

"This... this, Wen Yuan, as long as you keep me from leaving here, I promise to give me three hundred gold coins after leaving."

Faced with Zhang Liao's question, Liu Bo's small eyes were rolling around, avoiding Zhang Liao's questions, rubbing his hands and whispering.

"Mr. Liu, Liao asked if you could be greedy for money and property in Mo County. How did Lord Liu talk about other things? Could it be as Lord Yang said?"

Zhang Liao frowned, and then thought of the key point. It was Zhang Liao's responsibility to protect Liu Bo's safety, and Liu Bo actually wanted to bribe him with money.

"What does Wen Yuan mean? Although I didn't get along with Wen Yuan for a long time, I thought I would like to meet too late. How could Wen Yuan trust outsiders and doubt me instead?"

At this time, Liu Bo's wealth and life were all on Zhang Liao alone. He hurriedly said, afraid that Zhang Liao would not help him.

"Oh? Then Lord Liu dares to confront me on the spot?"

Yang Fan then smiled.

"Why don't you dare?"

Liu Bo's tone was not sufficient, and he hurriedly said in a questioning look at Zhang Liao's eyes.

"Okay, let's talk about it. First, after the tax was collected, why is the treasury only only twenty gold? Second, Mayi is a border county, and the court has always attached great importance to it. Naturally, there are many armor and weapons. Why are there only one hundred ring-headed swords, thirty sets of armor and eleven long bows, and even fewer war horses, only fourteen; Third, although Bingzhou has suffered a lot of natural disasters, Mayi has not been affected much, why is there only twenty stones of food and fodder? Although sail is young and has first involved in political affairs, I also feel it is quite strange. I would like to ask Lord Liu to answer my questions."

Yang Fan said while flipping through bamboo and silk.

“This…this…this….”

Every time Yang Fan asked a question, Liu Bo became nervous. If Zhang Liao was not here, he could speak nonsense and make trouble for Hu. But as a military officer in the county government, Zhang Liao knew about these things, not to mention that the food was collected by Zhang Liao with people. At this time, when he looked at Zhang Liao's angry eyes, Liu Bo really didn't know how to talk about it.

"Sir, the grain was collected by Liao and his men, which was a total of 2,000 stones. Why was there only twenty stones left in the treasury after just a few days?"

Zhang Liao frowned slightly, but he didn't expect Liu Bo to dare to greed for the public grain of Mo County.

"This... Wen Yuan, can you talk with me?"

Liu Bo wiped his sweat and said to Zhang Liao in a low voice.

"What's the matter? The lord can say it in front of everyone. If the fault is not on the lord, Liao will protect the lord."

Zhang Liao had no hope for Liu Bo. Although he was only over ten years old, he was well aware of the world. It is conceivable how Liu Bo did this, but this matter was too dirty and he didn't want to mention it.

"Since Lord Liu doesn't know what to say, then I will tell you for Lord Liu. Since I heard that a new county magistrate would come to Mayi, and the county had just collected a sum of taxes and food. Lord Liu suddenly had a plan and greedy for the taxes and food against his conscience, and blamed the new county magistrate. After Liu County Magistrate left, no one could find out about the head of Liu County Magistrate. I wonder what I said was right?"

Yang Fan has watched many related TV series in his previous life, and he has guessed it.

"Ah...you...how did you know?"

Liu Bo was shocked. What Yang Fan said was the truth. He blurted out in panic. After everyone looked at him, Liu Bo realized that he had said the wrong thing. He quickly shut up and lowered his head without knowing what he was thinking.

"Ah? It's really as Lord Yang said!"

Zhang Liao was confusing and immediately realized the truth from Liu Bo's expression and words.

"Hmph, which official is not greedy? Lord Yang is just so unreasonable because he has left fewer officials, right? Since that's the case, then he will leave Lord Yang with five hundred gold, three thousand stones of grain, and no way I can do anything about armor and weapons. Those are sold to others by my official. I wonder what Lord Yang wants."

Seeing that the matter was exposed, Liu Bo simply promised to give Yang Fan a lot of money in order to let him go.

"Haha, do you think everyone is like this? I, Yang Fan, hate corrupt officials the most. Now I meet someone, and Lord Liu still thinks that this matter will be good?"

Yang Fan then sneered.

"Did Lord Yang dare to lynch my official? Humph, this matter must be reported to the Prefect's Office. Lord Yang can suppress the Prefect's Office and let the Prefect come to interrogate the matter."

Liu Bo also threw the pot and thought to himself that Yang Fan would not dare to touch him. He refused to give in at this time, and thought that he thought that the money and food were too low.

"Haha, I'm so laughing to death. Liu Bo, have you forgotten what you said just now? Even if Lord Liu dies here, I will push the matter to the head of the Xianbei Hu people. Will the prefect still make it difficult for the death of the official?"

Yang Fan was also very confused. If he let him go, everyone would naturally be at peace and not let him go. Since the beam had already formed, he would have to be careful of such a villain in the future, so he would simply do it. Yang Fan then turned his mind and winked at Gao Shun.

Gao Shun understood and walked towards Liu Bo with a knife in the ring.

Zhang Liao was faster, and he saw him slashing at Liu Bo with a knife, and blood splattered everywhere. When he looked at Liu Bo again, his body and head were separated and he fell to the ground.

"Corrupt officials are not willing to die. Most people in the county cannot eat. How dare you take the blame for the world and embezzle public food. It's hateful, hateful."

Zhang Liao was very angry at this time. The food was kept to save the lives of the people in the county. Unexpectedly, Liu Bo was so unintentional that he directly cut Liu Bo's head with one blow.

"Liao has committed a serious crime to kill the imperial court's official. This matter was done by Liao alone. Liao has no objection to what the Lord will do."

After venting, Zhang Liao threw away the ring-headed knife in his hand, knelt down to Yang Fan and said.

"Okay, Wen Yuan gets up!"

Yang Fan felt extremely disgusted. The first time he saw such a terrible thing, even though he was strong in his heart, he almost made a fool of himself in public. After taking a few deep breaths, he helped Zhang Liao up first, then glanced at everyone in the lobby who witnessed all this, and said lightly: "The Xianbei Hu people suddenly invaded our county town. County Magistrate Liu personally led his soldiers to resist, but unexpectedly he was hit by the loss and sacrificed his life for the country."

"yes...."

"What the lord said is very true."

"My Lord is right, Lord Liu was killed by the Xianbei people."

After hearing Yang Fan say this, the others bowed their heads and agreed.

"Okay, the matter here is over, Wen Yuan doesn't have to take it seriously. I have another thing to do with Wen Yuan."

Looking at Zhang Liao being worried, Yang Fan spoke out to comfort him.

"I wonder what the adults have to do to villains?"

Zhang Liao asked Yang Fan with his fists.

"Wenyuan, Liu Bo's mansion, should know whether he could bring his official position there? Liu Bo was greedy for money and food in the court. Before his death, he suddenly realized that he was willing to return the money and food in the county government."
