It's time for a showdown, all the powerful officials in Beijing are my students!

Chapter 157 Chapter 156

After explaining the matter clearly, An Xin refused Tang Sicheng's request to stay, and handed over the two leaders of Qingyun Mountain to them for interrogation and detention.

Tang Sicheng looked at the heroic woman on the horse who bid farewell to him, and finally remembered the time when he went to visit his aunt one year.

Mrs. Tang once mentioned to him a woman who was very knowledgeable and respectful.

At that time, my aunt also said that she wanted to introduce that woman to herself. Thinking of Mr. Tang's ears turning red, Tang Sicheng shouted without hesitation:
"Are you the female mountain head of Wanhua Academy in Lin'an County, Ms. An?"

An Xin's hair, who ran out on a horse, was blown by the wind, and her body exuded an indescribable elegance.

I don't know if I didn't hear Tang Sicheng's words, or I didn't want to answer, so I raised my eyebrows slightly, driving Dahei without looking back.

Master Tang stared blankly at the slender figure, with a trace of regret in his eyes.

Yu Chiyi rode on the bay red horse brought from the bandit den, and followed Dahei closely. Hearing what Tang Sicheng shouted, he turned his head and gave the old man a cold look.

Yes, old man.

In the eyes of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, a man who is so much older than himself is called an old man, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Tang Sicheng stared at the young man's sharp eyes, startled, bowed his head and smiled wryly.

He also heard in such a remote place that this year's No. [-] Scholar and Tanhua are both from Wanhua Academy in Lin'an County, Jiangning Prefecture, and they are not exactly her students.

Now she is accompanied by such a young man whose identity is not simple at first sight.

I am an ordinary Jinshi who didn't even pass the entrance examination, and I am a small official who has come to the position I am today by relying on my cousin who is a minister in the Ministry of Officials and a little bit of my own hard work.

How can I expect to teach such outstanding students, and a woman with profound knowledge comparable to a great Confucian will look at him differently, I am simply wishful thinking.

After An Xin and the others left, Tang Sicheng reported what happened in Moshan County to the magistrate of Xuzhou Prefecture.

Unexpectedly, Tang Sicheng didn't mention that the two masters of Qingyun Mountain were arrested here, and it was known that the current county magistrate of Moshan County was the brother of the Marquis of Wuchang, the capital city, who had the eldest son and noble concubine.

The magistrate of Xuzhou, who is somewhat timid and cautious, does not want to easily offend people in the mansion of princes and dukes in the capital. I heard that officials in Moshan County are suspected of accepting bribes.

Immediately, Tang Sicheng, a subordinate, was given the responsibility of going to Moshan County to handle the case.

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Tang Sicheng's downcast eyes. Originally, he felt sorry that this case, which An Xin and the others were about to clear up, would be snatched away by the magistrate who knew how beneficial it was.

Who would have thought that it would be returned to him in the end, then he would be impolite.

At that time, if someone sees the mystery and wants to grab the ready-made credit from him, it will depend on whether his cousin who is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials in the capital will answer.

Who is still in the capital without a solid backstage?

Anyway, whoever manages these cases is no different from taking credit.

This case of bullies colluding with county magistrates to forcefully buy people's land, as long as it is done well, it will be a matter of fame and fortune.

It would be foolish not to answer.

However, after Tang Sicheng raised his head, his expression turned awkward, "My lord, this matter seems to be related to a few deserters who became bandits in the battle against the barbarians many years ago."

"There's another matter." The prefect of Xuzhou frowned and said, "Then the official gave you permission to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the prefecture to suppress the bandits while handling this case."

Tang Sicheng suppressed the raised corners of his mouth, this is what he wanted.

"Thank you for your hard work." Seeing Tang Sicheng's distressed face, the magistrate spoke without sincerity.

"It is the duty of the subordinate officials to share the worries of the adults."

"Good, good, good!" The magistrate heard Tang Sicheng's words, and said with satisfaction: "When Tang Tongzhi is handling this case, if you encounter any difficulties, just let me know."

Tang Sicheng "..." I would not take it seriously.

An Xin didn't know that Tang Sicheng originally planned to give away the credit for nothing, but the prefect of Xuzhou, who was overly cautious in his work, dumped it to him.

After riding out of the city, the two headed all the way to Zhengjia Village in Moshan County.

It was already Sishichu when they left Fucheng, and it took them two hours to return to Zhengjia Village.

From far away, I could hear the miserable wailing of women and children in the village.

An Xin and Yu Chiyi came up on horseback, and what they saw was a group of women fell to the ground in embarrassment, slapping their thighs and crying while cursing.

From their intermittent cursing, An Xin pieced together what happened, and the Qian family really took revenge.

Erhu, who was standing with one handy leg supporting the tree, turned his head and saw An Xin and the two coming back, his dull eyes suddenly lit up.

An Xin learned from Erhu that the villagers of Zhengjia Village were taken away by the housekeeper of Qianda landlord and the officials of the county government at dawn this morning.

At this time, the wife of the old village head Zheng who was sitting there also saw An Xin leading the horse over to help her injured waist, and was supported by the eldest daughter-in-law who also had a bruise on her arm and stood up with difficulty.

Because she wiped her face with clean water, An Xin deliberately painted thick black eyebrows yesterday, and they have changed to their original appearance.

Even though there was a trace of heroism in her facial features, the wife of the old village chief could still tell that she was a woman.

"So you're a little girl!"

An Xin smiled calmly, "Yes."

"I'm sorry, you helped us yesterday, but today you brought down several of your partners and were arrested by the government." The old wife of the village chief said with tears in her cloudy eyes.

At this time, all the people in the village who were not taken away looked at the tall and straight woman with a calm expression holding a big black horse in her hand.

"Didn't you still be a boy yesterday? How did you become a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth today?!"

"Now it doesn't matter if she is a girl or a teenager, and all the men in the family have been taken away.

I don't know if they can be released, leaving us the old, the weak, the sick, women, and children, how will we live in the future! "

These words made everyone's faces even more sad, and the woman began to sob softly again, and the child saw his mother weeping and opened his mouth to cry loudly.

For a moment, the sadness was contagious, and all the people who stayed here wiped away their tears.

"The group of beasts who received thousands of knives were still from the government. When they came to the village, they arrested people without asking for indiscriminate reasons. It's really unreasonable."

The old wife and daughter-in-law of the village chief also shed tears helplessly, venting their anger and injustice.

An Xin stepped forward and patted Mrs. Zheng's wife on the back reassuringly. Looking at everyone, her tone was neither serious nor serious: "Trust me, it will be fine."

Although the voice of these words was not loud, the tone seemed to have a soothing magic power, which made everyone stop crying and look up at her again.

Seeing that there was no trace of panic on her face, she looked at everyone calmly with a faint gaze.

Everyone's hearts inexplicably settled down.

An Xin spoke so loudly that he could blow the cowhide to the sky, "It's a big deal, don't worry everyone."

"If the arrested people in Zhengjia Village have not been released by this time tomorrow, I will personally go to demolish the prison cells in Moshan County and rescue them."

Yu Chiyi looked at his female husband whose face looked like a female bandit at this time, and just wanted to cover her face and remind him: Teacher, your character is broken.
