Traveling through ancient times.

Chapter 143 The mute eats Coptis chinensis

When Jiang Yizhou saw County Magistrate Zhang coming, he quickly got off his horse and bowed.

"I have met you, my Lord."

No matter what, the other party is an official and you are a civilian. Especially in public, you must not break the rules and give the other party something to hold against you.

She pointed at the cage behind her and said righteously, "Your Excellency, these people broke into my Tianshui farm in broad daylight, holding swords and pretending to be officials from the government. They said that the people in our cement workshop were the criminals and that the people in our farm were harboring criminals. They wanted to arrest and chop us all into pieces."

"All the workers in our farm are ordinary people recruited from the local area. They are all honest and kind people. They all have registered their household registration in the government. I have also registered all the workers according to the adults' request..."

Jiang Yizhou spoke loudly, deliberately using the little "internal energy" that was left in his body, so that to everyone who heard it, it felt like it was shaking their hearts and implanting their souls.

Some onlookers who were related to the farm workers became excited after hearing this.

They were a family of innocent people, but they were slandered as criminals by these thieves. They were furious and spit at the people in the cages and cursed.

Jiang Yizhou continued to speak loudly: "Although I was puzzled in my heart, everyone in my farm was clean and honest, and they abided by the law and rules. They had never been involved in any trouble. How could they suddenly harbor criminals? But since these people said they were government officials, what if there was any misunderstanding. So I greeted them respectfully, asked them to show the arrest documents, and asked them to show their identity tokens..."

"In the end, these people couldn't produce anything. They didn't have the documents for arresting mortals, nor did they have the tokens or seals that made them officials. I immediately determined that these people were not real officials, but fakes."

The crowd was in an uproar.

Before, people had only been beating drums and gongs to talk about these villains who broke into Tianshui Farm, but now that the head of the Jiang family had explained the whole story, they were even more shocked.

These people are so bold that they actually pretend to be officials.

The real policeman in the cage couldn't help but retort: ​​"I am a real policeman, I am real, my badge was..."

Jiang Yizhou turned around suddenly and looked at the man: "You said you are a real constable, then who is he? Where is your clerk?"

The man looked at the people around him. Among the twelve people, most of them were not real constables, but elite servants sent by Huo Yuting to help.

The key point is that these people have special scars on their wrists caused by branding irons.

That person wanted to say that it was Lord Zhang who gave the order verbally...

But Lord Zhang was right in front of him: How could we arrest someone, especially a criminal of such an important case, without an arrest warrant?

Although they operated in private, they could do whatever they wanted as long as they showed the seal, but now that the matter has become so big, if they continue to say this, wouldn't they be putting the adults on the spot?

As for the identity cards, the woman snatched them all away and threw them into the furnace.

——As long as they don’t have the documents, no one will believe them even if they say their identity cards were stolen.

Lord Zhang stared at Jiang Yizhou fiercely. He had only heard that this woman was extremely difficult and vicious.

Fortunately, he was still making excuses for her in his heart - after all, she was leading the people in the area to have enough food to eat.

Now, it involves his own reputation and career. If it weren't for this woman doing this, none of this would have happened.

This is simply...

Zhang Tao suppressed his anger and stared at Jiang Yizhou coldly, speaking through his teeth: "In the recent period of time, there is indeed a group of people with questionable identities coming from the border. I am tracking them down. Since the head of the Jiang family has arrested them all, I will hand them over to me. I will interrogate them thoroughly when I go back and give everyone an explanation.

Jiang Yizhou didn't seem to notice the other party's cold eyes and resentment. He still looked righteous and said, "It turns out that Lord Zhang has been chasing these bandits for a long time. Unexpectedly, they broke into my Tianshui farm and were captured by my guards. I was planning to hand them over to the government for Lord Zhang to deal with. Unexpectedly, Lord Zhang was so wise that he sent people over. In this case, I will hand these bandits over to Lord Zhang."

It was a farce that lasted from morning till evening.

After a night of fermentation, the whole Jiang'an County knew that bandits had impersonated officials and broke into Tianshui farmland, smashing, looting and killing people.

...In a house in Kyoto, after Wang Zhitong finished reading the small note in his hand, his face became gloomy and the beard on his lips trembled. In the end, he did not lose his temper. He just put the note on the candlestick, lit it, and threw it into the incense burner next to him to burn it.

There were a few people sitting in the study, and they also knew what was happening in Jiang'an County, Zezhou.

Unexpectedly, this time the direct pressure from top to bottom was resolved by the woman.

It seems that I really underestimated this woman before.

It’s not that this method of resolving the problem is particularly clever, but... it’s a newly established farm with only about twenty temporary servants to guard the house.

How did he dare to fight against more than a dozen bloodthirsty police officers and people with martial arts skills? In the end, he was even captured by them all?

The information they received was that this head of the Jiang family had two guards with good martial arts skills, but one of them stayed in Yunshan, and the other was on the way to escort supplies.

Just when Tianshui Manor was empty, how come...

Could it be that this woman is hiding some expert behind the scenes?

What kind of master is willing to be inferior to a woman?

One of them couldn't help but ask: "Master Wang, what should we do now?"

Wang Zhitong was pondering, and another person spoke first: "I don't believe that a woman can rebel against the heaven. The border is tight right now, and bandits are harassing. Tianshui is the border between Zezhou and Beizhou, and there is a large wasteland outside. I don't know if those bandits will come here..."

When everyone heard this, they all gasped in shock. They all knew what he meant by "bandits".

Of course, they have thought about this method before.

However, if we really bring those barbarians in, it would be easier said than done.

One of the adults said cautiously, "During the morning court today, I heard from the higher-ups that they seem to have paid attention to the cement issue. I think why not... ask her to hand over the formula in the name of the court?"

Everyone looked at each other.

The imperial court?

The imperial court is also composed of individuals. Is it directly governed by the emperor, or managed by a minister? Or is it a faction?

There is a big difference here.

The emperor is now old and is unable to attend court every now and then. He has long lost his ambition to make progress.

Although the crown prince was established, he was accused of being cruel and murderous by his ministers some time ago because he advocated strengthening the army.

The emperor also did not like him being too aggressive and greedy for merit - he felt that he was eager to seize military power and ascend to the throne.
