Liu Xuan waved his hand and dismissed Qin Ruishi.
"Men!"
Soon, Niu Debao and the other two rushed in.
"My lord!"
The three of them immediately saw He Yunbai and Zhao Mingcheng lying on the ground, dead.
Liu Xuan held his teacup and hummed in agreement." When these two people saw that the matter had been exposed, they tried to struggle and assassinate me. They have already been beheaded and dragged away to be dealt with!”
"Here!"
Niu Debao and the other two didn't suspect anything and dragged the two corpses away.
After dealing with Zhao Mingcheng and He Yunbai, Liu Xuan asked Niu Debao to post a notice to recruit some strong people to be yamen constables.
There were still too few bailiffs in the county government, so the main registrar was temporarily handed over to Li Si, who was literate.
As for the position of the head of the prison, Niu Debao would take it for the time being, while Ke Wazi would lead the three squads of bailiffs.
Two strings of money a month, and an official job at that. In less than half a day, they had recruited people.
20 ordinary bailiffs!
Fifteen constables who knew how to fight!
A new batch of jailers had also been assigned to them. There were twenty of them!
In an instant, the entire yamen had expanded, and Liu Xuan's subordinates had become nearly sixty people.
As for the nine shops that he had seized from Wang Youcai, Liu Xuan had also hired the shopkeeper to help manage them.
Not only that, but he also taught some of the business methods of the later generations. These shops also became popular through promotions and discounts.
In the next few days, the news of Zhao Mingcheng and He Yunbai's deaths spread throughout Longmen County. For a time, the other aristocratic families in Longmen became much more low-key.
Who didn't know that Wang Youcai was a member of the Wang family, but he was still investigated by Liu Xuan just like that?
Moreover, Zhao Mingcheng and Zhao Dianli were not only related to the Wang Clan, but also had some connections with a few other aristocrats.
But he was still killed!
Through this, anyone could tell that the current Longmen County Magistrate, Liu Xuan, was no longer a little kitten that could be easily fooled.
Now, he was a ferocious tiger that could eat people at any time!
None of these people wanted to become the second Wang Youcai!
However, Wang Youcai was a member of the Wang Clan after all. These aristocrats would gather together every now and then to discuss and plan to use the Wang Clan's blade to get rid of the powerful and eyesore Liu Xuan!
"I think we should send a letter to the Wang family and tell them.”
"Do you think the Wang Clan doesn't know? Don't forget that the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice is a member of the Wang Clan. The Wang Clan will definitely know!”
"The Wang Clan knows, but they know. If we tell them in advance, we can do them a favor.”
"That's right, that makes sense!"
......
Five days later!
In the study room of the Wang family's branch in Jiangzhou!
"To dare to touch the people of my Wang clan, this Longmen county magistrate is really bold…"
Looking at the letter on the table that was sent by some of Longmen County's aristocrats, Wang Zhao's brows slowly furrowed.
As one of the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs, the Wang Family's heritage was unquestionable. They did not even fear the current Li Tang royal family.
It had been many years since anyone dared to attack the Wang Clan.
But now, a rank 7 county magistrate dared to kill a member of the Wang Clan.
Could it be that the Wang Clan's deterrence was not enough, and even a mere rank-seven Sesame Official had started to provoke them?
Or was someone doing this on purpose?
Wang Zhao's fingers tapped on the table. His eyes flickered, and his frown deepened." Who gave a mere county magistrate such courage?”
After thinking for a moment, he made a decision.
He picked up the brush on the table and spread out the paper. As he spread the ink, a letter was quickly written. He took out the envelope and sealed it with wax.
"Men!"
As soon as Wang Zhao finished speaking, the 60-year-old butler, Wang Fugui, bowed and walked in.
"Master!"
Wang Zhao handed the letter to him and instructed,""Immediately send someone to Chang 'an and hand this letter to the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Lord Wang Dan.”
Wang Dan was a member of the Wang family, and he was the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He had always provided convenience for the Wang family, so it was most appropriate for Wang Dan to handle this matter.
Regardless of whether or not the Longmen County Magistrate was ordered by someone else, he would investigate it thoroughly.
"Yes, this old servant will do it now!"
After the butler left, Wang Zhao sat in front of the table and picked up his brush to start writing a letter.
The matter of Wang Youcai's house being raided wasn't a big deal, but it wasn't a small one either. In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, he had to inform the main family of the Wang family.
......
Chang 'an!
The Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Wang Dan, was on duty sorting out the files when a small official ran in and told him,""Milord, a servant from a noble family has come to look for you. He said that he has a letter for you.”
Wang Dan was taken aback." A letter from me?”
Although he was a little puzzled as to why the letter from home was sent to the Ministry of Justice where he was on duty, since it was sent here, there must be something urgent.
Wang Dan waved his hand, signaling for the small official to bring his men in.
Soon, a travel-worn servant dressed in gray linen clothes was brought in." I'm Wang Er. I'm sent by the head of Jiangzhou's branch family, Wang Zhao, to deliver a letter to you.”
Wang Dan nodded and asked," What's the rush?”
"The old master said that the letter must be delivered to you."”
Wang Dan frowned and did not ask further. He reached out and took the letter from Wang Er. He waved his hand to move the left and right screens back and opened the letter to read.
Hmm?
After reading the letter, he immediately frowned. He didn't care about Wang Youcai. After all, the Wang Clan was a great clan. They had too many people, so he couldn't take them all to heart.
However, if someone ordered the magistrate of Longmen County to do something to the Wang family, he could not sit idly by.
Wang Dan burned the letter by candlelight, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes.
"Men!"
"My lord!"
Immediately, a small official ran in from outside.
Wang Dan asked," I heard that a few days ago, the Dragon Gate of Jiangzhou, Hedong Road, sent a dossier over. Why don't I know about it?"”
The small official was shocked and quickly replied,""Milord, the Minister of Justice, Lord Zhang, took it away.”
"Lord Zhang Liang?"
Wang Dan's eyes flashed with suspicion. Could it be that this county magistrate was Zhang Liang's subordinate?
After a moment of silence, Wang Dan asked,""Where is the dossier now?"
"It's already returned to the treasury." The small official replied carefully.
"Find it!"
"Here!"
......
There were a lot of files in the Ministry of Justice. It took the small official more than an hour to find the files.
In the guard room!
Wang Dan took the file and started reading it carefully.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, he put away the scroll and sneered," I thought it was Zhang Liang's men. It turns out that he's just an abandoned top scholar. He really doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth."”
"Forget it, this time I'll let you understand that the Wang Clan isn't something that just anyone can touch!”
He took the dossier and waited until the duty time was over before returning to the residence immediately.
"Men, take my visiting card immediately and invite Lord Wang Qian from the Ministry of Works and Lord Wang Weimin from the Ministry of Personnel…"
"Yes, my lord!"
The servant who came in quickly responded and ran out.
