Chapter 156 155 We have a strong backing, so what are we afraid of?
Qin Feng was so overwhelmed by An Xin's concern and friendship that he almost fainted on the spot.
"!!!"
He just looked at An Xin and the other two in confusion, wondering why they were not sleeping so late at night and why they thought of catching bandits again.
The key is, they actually caught it.
This made Qin Feng, who had led people to Qingyun Mountain several times to suppress bandits but failed to catch any, feel very embarrassed.
Qin Feng knew that An Xin must have his reasons for catching the bandits in Qingyun Mountain late at night, so there was no need to ask any more questions.
The matter of suppressing bandits was more or less within the scope of his duties as the captain-general, but matters like the big landlord Qian bullying the people and forcing them to buy and sell their land were local affairs.
So Qin Feng brought An Xin and Yuchi Yi to Tang Sicheng, who was capable and not pedantic in his work and life. He was promoted from Moshan County to the prefectural capital as the Tongzhi a few years ago. Lord Tang is here.
When An Xin and Tang Sicheng saw each other, their eyes paused.
Tang Sicheng recognized An Xin as a woman from her fair neck without an Adam's apple.
This was also because An Xin had been cleaned by Qin Feng, which allowed Tang Sicheng to tell her gender at a glance.
The reason why Qin Feng didn't tell them apart was because he was more curious about Yuchi Yi who took out the Tiger Guard Order, and thus ignored An Xin.
Otherwise, with his rough yet delicate character, he wouldn't have failed to notice An Xin for so long, who was disguised as a man without much decoration.
An Xin looked at Lord Tang, who had a round face and gentle temperament in front of him. There was a faint smile floating on the corner of his mouth, which made people feel very friendly. He always felt that he had seen him somewhere before, and there was a sense of déjà vu.
"Last name Tang."
"My surname is Tang."
Tang Sicheng saw An Xin staring at him. Lord Tang, who was almost thirty years old and had not yet found a wife, couldn't help but blush slightly on his elegant old face.
An Xin's eyes lit up and she suddenly remembered who this face looked like.
"Who are you to the wife of President Gongsun of Baichuan Academy?"
Tang Sicheng was startled, then he touched his face, his eyes understood, and he smiled and said, "She is my aunt.
It seems that what my family said is true. I look 80% like my aunt, so I must be her son."
An Xin said sincerely: "Yes, they look alike."
Lord Tang, who looks like a girl, feels a little resentful. He blames his own father for making him and his aunt twins, which is why he looks more like his aunt.
With a friendly round face, he always pretends to be profound, otherwise he would not have the dignity of an official.
An Xin decisively stopped the topic. She came here for serious business, and recognizing Lord Tang as Madam Gongsun's family member was just an accident.
Tang Sicheng saw that An Xin had no intention of chatting any more, so he invited her, Yuchi Yi and Qin Feng, who brought them here, to take a seat. The servants brought them tea.
Without further ado, they went straight to the point.
An Xin recounted what had happened between Zhengjia Village in Moshan County and the landlord Qian.
He also discovered that there was something unusual in the tone of the head servant of the landlord Qian when he mentioned the bandits in Qingyun Mountain, and that the old village chief later stopped her and told her a hidden rumor in the local area.
Those were the people living in several nearby villages who had seen the brother of the landlord Qian, who was said to have died on the battlefield, come back.
However, there was a deserter in the nearby village, and everyone was embarrassed to tell others about it. Besides, those people did not see it head-on at the time, and the Qian family built a tomb for Qian Dagui.
In addition, the Qian family's influence in the local area has grown over the past decade, and the villagers in the nearby villages thought it was better to keep their distance and stopped talking about the matter.
An Xin listened to what Village Chief Zheng said last night. Knowing the history of the Qian family's rise over the past decade, he felt somewhat certain that the eldest brother of the landlord Qian might not have really died on the battlefield.
It can make a gangster with nothing at home become rich and dominate a region in just a few years.
An Xin guessed that the person behind this was that among the leaders of Qingyun Mountain, there was one who was the brother of the landlord Qian, and he would not give any second thought.
After listening to An Xin's narration and conjecture, Tang Sicheng nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, a family will not rise so quickly without special circumstances and without the money and power left by their ancestors."
An Xin and Yuchi Yi looked at each other, picked up the teacup and took a sip leisurely. They had done everything they could.
In order to completely resolve the issue of Zhengjia Village being retaliated by the Qian family because of their help, An Xin and Yuchi Yi did not rest all night.
He rode his big black horse all the way to Qingyun Mountain and captured these two key figures.
The teacher and the student both leaned back in their chairs at the same time, doing whatever they felt comfortable with. Anyway, what to do next was up to the local officials.
If they are all incapable of doing anything, An Xin wouldn't mind leading a few disciples with strong backing to turn the officialdom of Xuzhou Prefecture and Moshan County upside down.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
Anyway, they are not the ones who suffer in the end.
An Xin leaned back in the armchair with her eyes narrowed, watching Tang Sicheng frowning slightly and looking down in thought. She raised the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly, looked at him meaningfully, and then looked away.
Tang Sicheng also looked at Qin Feng, the person he had promoted, who was sitting below him. There was some confusion and ambition in their eyes.
No one reported the matter of the landlord Qian forcing the people to sell their land to the higher authorities. The people did not sue and the officials did not investigate. The officials of Moshan County accepted bribes from the landlord Qian and were able to suppress the matter easily.
However, now that An Xin and the other have reported it to the provincial capital, as long as we send people to secretly investigate the people there, the facts will be confirmed soon.
Moreover, An Xin and his men also captured the boss of Qingyun Mountain, the brother of the landlord Qian, so this case is easier to handle.
No matter who handles this case, it will be a free achievement. No matter which official appears to stop the bully who oppresses the villagers from selling their fields and land, he will receive the punishment he deserves.
Then your reputation and prestige among the people will surely rise, and you will be promoted step by step soon.
Tang Sicheng looked at the woman with her eyes closed, trying to guess who she was. She looked so indifferent that it was hard to tell who she was.
He then looked at the young man who was leaning on a chair and playing with a black token in his hand. He had a rebellious and cynical look, and it was obvious at first glance that he was not someone that could be raised in an ordinary family.
Tang Sicheng and Qin Feng exchanged glances. The tacit understanding they had gained from working together for many years made them understand each other's meaning instantly.
Qin Feng's thick black eyebrows were almost frowned into a pile, and he asked in a low voice: "My Lord, think about it, such a good thing, but it is hard to find it.
Once it is reported, it will have nothing to do with us.
If others seize this opportunity, they will surely be promoted, and you will not regret it, my Lord."
When Tang Sicheng saw the woman with her eyes closed, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, knowing that she was also waiting for his answer, and a gentle smile appeared in his clear eyes.
“No regrets.”
"And we can't bypass the prefect in this matter."
