Splendid peasant girl busy farming

Chapter 7319 Puppet

In Tai'an city.

Xu Santong leaned on the recliner, half-closed his eyes.

He had just eaten lunch and he was feeling sleepy.

At this time, he has to take a nap so that he has the energy to deal with official duties in the afternoon and night.

While he was half asleep and half awake, he suddenly saw a strange figure standing on the edge of the couch.

In an instant, cold sweat filled the whole body, and the original drowsiness disappeared.

"who?"

Xu Santong raised his hand and took out a long sword, held it in his hand, facing the front, his eyes were rounded, full of vigilance, looking at the figure of a strange woman with his back turned to him.

"Master Xu, if I am against you, you are already dead!" The strange woman's voice came to Xu Santong's ears leisurely.

"Relax, put down the sword in your hand." The strange woman turned around and looked at Xu Santong.

When Xu Santong saw the token in the hands of the strange woman, his originally nervous mood relaxed a little bit.

"Secret Guard Commander Ziyan?" Xu Santong saw a purple character on the token, and thought of the mention of this matter in the secret text of the imperial court, he guessed.

"Yes, Mr. Xu, don't gossip, this time I came to you, I have something to discuss with you." Zi Yan said straight to the point.

"Is it the assisted investigation that the imperial court said?" Xu Santong didn't like dealing with Yinwei very much. In fact, almost none of the court officials liked dealing with Yinwei.

Probably because the hidden guards probed the secrets of officials and knew too many secrets, and among the officials, there were very few officials who could stand the investigation, not to mention none, and most of the officials would have some problems to some extent.

"No, there will be other officials who assist in the investigation of Tai'an City. I am here this time to discuss matters related to the Wei family."

"Master Xu, how much do you know about the Wei family?" Zi Yan stared into Xu Santong's eyes.

The Wei family is so powerful in Tai'an City, no one can guarantee whether Xu Santong has joined forces with the Wei family.

But Ziyan still chose the most direct way to come to her.

The reason is simple, she doesn't have much time to waste, she must have a result as soon as possible.

She stared at Xu Santong in order to make some judgments from the changes in his eyes.

"The Wei family! The Wei family is not a good person." Xu Santong gritted his teeth and said angrily.

"Master Xu, what do you mean? Isn't the Wei family a citizen under the imperial court?" Ziyan said.

"In the fish and meat village of the Wei family, all kinds of bad things have been done, and the imperial court should eradicate them as soon as possible." Xu Santong said seriously.

"Since the Wei family has committed many crimes, how much evidence does Mr. Xu have? Moreover, Mr. Xu is the prefect of Changzhou County, so he can dispatch soldiers and yamen servants to arrest the Wei family." Zi Yan said lightly.

"If I can do it, can I just sit back and ignore it? Xiangbing, yamen servants, I can adjust it." Xu Santong said with a hint of self-mockery.

"Why? Lord Xu is the prefect..." Zi Yan frowned.

"The local soldiers and yamen servants are privately supported by wealthy families. They also obey the imperial court's orders in small matters, but as long as the local wealthy families are involved, they will not obey them."

"Look at the swords around me, I'm just worried that someone will break in suddenly... Hey, I'm really worried all the time." Xu Santong smiled wryly.

"You prefect, it's quite difficult to do."

Zi Yan pursed her lips and said: "Master Xu, here in the Wei family, I have some new information, take it and have a look."

Zi Yan took out a piece of information and placed it in front of Xu Santong.

Xu Santong picked up a thick stack of paper and looked at it carefully.

"Damn the Wei family, I didn't expect the Wei family to raise elite soldiers!" Xu Santong sneered.

He was secretly rejoicing in his heart!
Fortunately, he usually endured it and did not go head-to-head with the Wei family.

If he had chosen to fight against the Wei family, he might have died without a place to bury him!
"What can Mr. Ziyan do? There is nothing I can do here." Xu Santong felt sad. He was just a lame prefect who couldn't play a big role, but was actually a puppet.

"You don't need to take care of the soldiers and horses of the Wei family. Master Xu, all you have to do is sit in the yamen and don't let the government be used by the wealthy family." Ziyan said.

"Okay." Xu Santong nodded.

……

"The Lin family is second only to the Wei family in Tai'an City, and it is a powerful family."

"The Lin family is different from the Wei family. The Wei family migrated from the south, while the Lin family is a native of the local area. They are true northerners."

"When the Southern Dynasty was still there, the Lin family already existed in this area. In Changzhou County, the Lin family is also a recognized common surname. Among the mountains and forests, many people in the mountains are descendants of the Lin surname."

"Of course, the current Lin family in the city is just the most powerful one among them. It's not just this Lin family that can really go back hundreds of years."

Wei Linqi carefully told Luo Xingchen about the Lin family.

"That is to say, there is a conflict between the Lin family and the Wei family?" Luo Xingchen frowned.

The situation in Changzhou County is more troublesome than he imagined.

And he won't stay in Tai'an City for too long, and Bei Liyuan is still waiting to go north.

"Yes, the Lin family, the Wei family, and the rest of the family have conflicts at ordinary times." Wei Linqi nodded.

"No matter what conflicts they have, this time we will kill chickens and monkeys, and take the Wei family first."

"Brother Wei, what do you need to protect in your family? You make a list in advance to avoid accidental injury." Luo Xingchen didn't want to play the game of intrigue with the Wei family anymore. He decided to defeat the strongest power of the Wei family in one go. What comes down is naturally like destroying the dead. No matter how deep-rooted the Wei family is, the ending is the same. There is no way to escape.

"it is good."

Wei Linqi agreed without hesitation. He does have many acquaintances in the Wei family who need to be protected. At this time, it is meaningless to be hypocritical.

At this time, the shopkeeper Wang's house where they lived had nothing short of the four treasures of the study.

It didn't take long for Wei Linqi to write the list.

Luo Xingchen said: "Brother Wei, do you wait at the Wang's house, or follow me out of the city?" Luo Xingchen gave him two choices.

"I'll go out of the city together, and I want to watch the Wei family fall with my own eyes." Wei Linqi gritted his teeth.

Luo Xingchen realized that he had somewhat underestimated Wei Linqi's hatred for the Wei family... This hatred was actually so strong.

"Then go together."

Luo Xingchen waited for a while, and then saw Ziyan walking from outside.

"Prefect Xu Santong, I've passed my breath, now I don't have to think about anything, just assemble the team and set off." Zi Yan said lightly.

"Sister Ziyan, where is the Wei family's team hiding? Did you find out?" Luo Xingchen asked.

"Actually, we already knew where the Wei family's team was hiding... Bi Snake was with the bandits in Honglinling, and we already got the answer!" Zi Yan said.
