The Abandoned Scion

Song Chi transmigrated, becoming the son of the reigning Chief Grand Secretary. He aspired to a life of beautiful wives and concubines, an idle playboy who muddled through life, but instead became ...

Chapter 131 Erlang, could this innocent girl be my cousin's wife?

"What do you want to do?" Feng Yuan asked directly.

The people around were secretly frightened, as the magistrate's implication was that you have the final say.

Song Chi said in a low voice, "Take advantage of this opportunity to eliminate the Yongsheng Gang!"

His face glowed gloomily in the light of the torch.

The Yongsheng Gang is the largest gang in Ning'an Prefecture. They oppress the people and do all kinds of evil things.

The Han family is the backer of the Yongsheng Gang. Many shameful things done by the Han family were done by the Yongsheng Gang. The Han family has been engaged in long-term land annexation in Ji County.

When the Yongsheng Gang seized the people's fertile land, if the people were unwilling, they would arrive first and threaten the people. Countless people were oppressed and killed by the Yongsheng Gang.

In addition, the Yongsheng Gang also serves as the "head officer".

They were responsible for collecting land tax in Ji County, which is the so-called monopoly of money and grain.

When it came time to collect taxes, the government was short of staff and had difficulty collecting the taxes. Then, people like this appeared. They helped the government collect taxes and gained huge benefits from it.

For example, Anyitang, where Erlang originally worked, was such an organization. His direct superior was a grain clerk in the household department of the county government, who was responsible for helping to collect land taxes.

However, as the largest gang, the Yongsheng Gang has the most divided areas.

They have always acted without scruples, and whenever they collect taxes, it is almost the same as robbery, which has caused widespread complaints.

The reason why the Yongsheng Gang dares to act so presumptuously is because the Han family is behind them.

Song Chi wants to take this opportunity to get rid of the Han family and eliminate the harm to the people.

As they were talking, Su Dahai and Su Nanyan rushed over. The father and son were running out of breath. They stared at Song Chi for a long time and only felt relieved when they found that nothing was wrong.

Erlang noticed the innocent girl standing behind Song Chi and asked, "Is this my cousin's wife?"

"No restraint in speaking."

Song Chi explained: "She was originally a passerby. She was frightened when I was assassinated, so I brought her with me."

The people around looked strange. This explanation was a bit far-fetched. What kind of girl would stay out alone so late at night instead of going home?

"Well, this is someone I just met. She has no relatives in Ji County and I'm her only friend. I was planning to take her back for dinner, but I was assassinated."

Song Chi changed his words and did not reveal Luo Yurou's true identity.

"It's my cousin's wife after all." Erlang walked to Luo Yurou's side, "Hello, cousin's wife."

"Stop shouting." Song Chi quickly stopped him.

If it was Su Mingyue who heard her called that, she would be very happy, but Luo Yurou was the beloved daughter of Duke Anguo.

However, Luo Yurou didn't show anything, just smiled faintly and said nothing.

"Go back to the county government office, gather some men, and let's turn Ji County upside down!"

Song Chi pulled his cousin aside again and said, "Gather all your brothers and join us in fighting the Yongsheng Gang. The county government is short of manpower."

"Is this appropriate?"

Su Nanyan glanced at the county magistrate who was a few steps away.

"If I say it's okay, it's okay. Once we get rid of the Yongsheng Gang, your Anyitang will be the largest gang in Ji County." Song Chi supported his cousin and did not hide it from County Magistrate Feng.

Existence is reasonable.

The county government needed "head servants" to help collect land taxes, and County Magistrate Feng wanted these people to be under his control.

This was undoubtedly a perfect match with Song Chi.

Ever since he entered the county government as a legal advisor, his cousin's rank has risen rapidly, from a minion who couldn't even enter the hall to a gang leader, and from silver to king.

In the future, we will continue to grow bigger and stronger and create greater glory.

Now is a good opportunity.

"I understand!" Su Nanyan patted his chest and said, "Cousin, I won't embarrass you."

Everyone returned to the county government office, and Zhang Wu's body was also brought back, as well as the three brothers who had suffered an unexpected disaster.

Before doing big things, we must unify our thoughts.

It's too late now. Many people in the county government haven't taken up their posts yet, and there's still a shortage of manpower. Let's go back and discuss it first, and then turn everything upside down tomorrow.

Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.

The Han family father and son sat facing each other in the candlelight waiting for news.

It was not easy to make this decision. Song Chi was an ordinary person, but Liang Qingwu was there to protect him.

Even the Han family has to treat this woman's anger with caution.

However, this is to eliminate the trouble for the Prime Minister, and the Prime Minister will definitely come forward, so they have made up their minds.

Both the father and the son looked unhappy. They didn't expect that they would be forced to this extent by a teenager.

Since grain prices stabilized, Feng Yuan has firmly established himself as the county magistrate. With Song Chi's help, he has already discovered a lot of things. If he continues to investigate, all their secrets will be exposed.

There is a big shot behind Feng Yuan. If these things get to the capital, it will become an excuse to deal with the Prime Minister... and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

This is what the Han family is most worried about, so they took this step.

Song Chi is just an ordinary person, and killing him is insignificant. Feng Yuan will also lose his think tank, which also buys them time.

"I didn't break the contract. I still let Zhang Wu come to you. Whether you can take his life or not is your ability. If you accidentally lose his life again... then you are incompetent."

Han Yuanzheng was thinking.

He knew that Zhang Wu would succeed. It would be easy for a killer from the Red Sleeves Square to kill a weak scholar.

"What a shame. Zhang Wu has been hiding for so long...but now he's about to be exposed."

Han Yu sighed softly.

In the entire Ji County, only the father and son knew Zhang Wu’s true identity. Even the prefect Zhou Zhengan didn’t know.

Since Zhang Wu killed Song Chi, he naturally couldn't survive either.

Hongxiufang is a gang of assassins that is not tolerated by the imperial court. The Han family, as a prominent family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, supports such a person, which can easily lead to attacks from political enemies.

So Zhang Wu must die!

This matter will eventually end in personal revenge.

"Bang."

At this time, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

A middle-aged man in a gray robe walked in and said, "Master, Young Master, many yamen runners have gone to Minfu Street, even County Magistrate Feng has gone."

The father and son looked at each other and knew that it was done.

There was no need to doubt this at all. They knew Zhang Wu's strength best. Even in Hongxiufang, he was in the middle level. Killing Song Chi was not difficult for him.

"Go ask Dong Weimin to investigate further and confirm Song Chi's death."

"Yes!" The middle-aged man in gray robe went out.

Han Yu said, "Okay, we can send someone to the capital to deliver a letter to the Prime Minister."

"The situation in Ji County is so bad that even the Prime Minister must be dissatisfied. After Song Chi's death, we must clean up the mess quickly."

They did not leave and continued to wait for Dong Weimin's reply.

At this time, Feng Yuan led his men back to the county government office.

He had a dark face and a blank expression.

Not long after returning, Dong Weimin came over and said, "Master Feng, what happened? I heard that Master Song was assassinated."

"Song Chi was assassinated tonight."

Feng Yuan turned his head and looked at him coldly, "If I find out that you are involved in this matter, I will not let you off easily!"
