Chapter 166 Chapter 165 Am I really old?

The villagers looked at these people and felt they looked familiar.

When someone recognized these disheveled people as their own relatives, they suddenly burst into tears and rushed over excitedly.

When they did not find their abducted family members in the crowd, the villagers stepped forward and anxiously asked where those people had gone.

Looking at the village men who were brought back in tattered clothes, with their heads down and no words, the villagers suddenly thought of something, and for a while the sound of miserable crying was heard at the gate of the yamen.

It makes people passing by feel sad when they hear it and cry when they smell it.

An Xin, Kong Xun, Jiang Chenxi, Yuchi Yi, Gao Tai, and Chen Qibao couldn't help but shed tears as they watched the villagers whose family members had died in the mine cry heartbreakingly.

"How can people be so evil!"

An Xin looked at Kong Xun who said this.

For a moment, I thought that it was a good thing to push him to that position. At least this dragon egg had truly seen it along the way.

The people have a difficult life, and it is important for them to appoint a good official.

At this time, the lobby of the county government office was in an uproar. Landlord Qian was caught off guard by Tang Sicheng, and he was numb all over as he knelt down.

Seeing those people who were brought into the lobby with whip marks all over their bodies and glaring at him as if they wanted to eat him, he felt a chill in his heart.

The middle-aged man behind County Magistrate Fan glanced at Fan Mengsheng, thinking that this man was probably finished, and then retreated silently.

As expected, many officials from the entire Moshan County government were implicated this time.

Tang Sicheng was well prepared and had a certain understanding of Moshan County. Those officials who were in cahoots with the landlord Qian were quickly brought to the lobby by the guards.

With the witnesses and evidence in front of them, those people could only look to Magistrate Fan for help, hoping that he would use his backstage connections to rescue them.

Mr. Fan, who had been deliberately ignored by Tang Sicheng, thought that he was concerned about the Wuchang Marquis Mansion behind him and therefore did not produce the evidence of his involvement.

At this time, even if County Magistrate Fan was stupid and only wanted to protect himself, he would not speak up for these people.

County Magistrate Fan now just wants Tang Sicheng to treat him as transparent air and ignore him.

Tang Sicheng glanced at County Magistrate Fan, who was sitting in the chair and almost curled up into a ball, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his lips.

He doesn't even need to investigate or provide evidence for what this person has done. Once the people under him find out that he doesn't save him, they will gang up on him.

The criminal's past will be exposed and made public, so why would he need to find evidence? It's quite laborious.

How could a sinister and ruthless Tang let go of the opportunity to harm him? The people of Moshan County, who had been governed with great effort for more than three years to allow them to have enough food and clothing, were treated so badly by him.

Sure enough, when those people saw that Magistrate Fan kept his head down and did not speak up for them, they began to dig up all the things that Magistrate Fan had done over the years.

Finally, one third of the officials in Moshan County were implicated and some were dismissed from their posts or sentenced.

Most of the corrupt officials in the Moshan County government were cleaned out by Tang Sicheng in a swift and decisive manner this time.

The people from Zhengjia Village were also released from the cell. They didn't expect that just as An Xin said, they would be released from the cell before dark and see their relatives.

The people were most concerned about the issue of land, and when Tang Sicheng said that the land was returned to its original owner, they were so happy and excited that they burst into tears.

They knelt down one after another, shouting that Tang Sicheng was the living justice master.

Tang Sicheng was also going to take County Magistrate Fan and Landlord Qian, who had connections with the bandits, back to the city to be tried together with the bandit leaders, Qian Dagui and others.

Anyway, adding up all the crimes, the bandit leader Qian Dagui and the landlord Qian Ergui, who have done so many evil things, are both brothers who are doomed to die.

Their families will at least be sentenced to exile, and whether they can survive then will depend on how strong they are.

When Magistrate Fan was being escorted away, he was still shouting that he had someone behind him. Unfortunately, no one paid any attention to him.

Mr. Qian was already badly beaten by An Xin's teachers and students last night, and now his crime has been made public.

He was already drowsy when he was taken away, and like County Magistrate Fan, he received a warm farewell from the people of Moshan County with rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves.

Tang Sicheng looked at An Xin and the others in front of him and bowed deeply, thanking them for their secret help. Otherwise, it would not be so easy to punish County Magistrate Fan who was backed by the Wuchang Marquisate.

After all, when the adjutant who came with him heard County Magistrate Fan mention the Wuchang Marquisate, he secretly reminded him that the prefect had told him not to implicate Fan Mengsheng in the case.

The prefect, who was cautious and timid, did not want to offend the powerful families in the capital.

An Xin told Tang Sicheng privately about the three children in the Qian family's house.

The reason why she didn't bring the matter to court and add another charge to the landlord Qian was just to protect those boys.

Although those twelve or thirteen-year-old children were tortured and emaciated, from their appearance and their white and tender hands that had never worked, it was clear that they were not children from poor families.

If Tang Sicheng could help them find their families and send them back secretly, and simply say that they were rescued from human traffickers, then this unbearable past for the boys would be buried and the harm to them would be minimized.

Tang Sicheng looked reluctant and smiled bitterly as he watched the woman who led several of his students into the carriage and left a few minor troubles for him to leave with peace of mind. He shook his head, thinking that he had missed her after all.

If he had gone to Lin'an County when his aunt mentioned her, perhaps there would still be a possibility between them.

But now I am no longer worthy of such a talented and famous lady in Beijing.

An Xin got on the carriage and saw Tang Sicheng still watching them. It was undeniable that she admired Tang Sicheng very much.

This person is decisive and meticulous in his actions. He was able to find so much evidence in such a short time, which shows how capable he is.

Seeing the admiration in An Xin's eyes as she sat by the carriage window, Tang Sicheng smiled sincerely and waved to her.

The carriage quickly disappeared from his sight, leaving behind a sentence in the air that choked Tang Sicheng, who had been speechless for a long time.

He turned to look at his cronies, "Am I old?"

The confidant looked at his master's fair and handsome face and shook his head sincerely, "Not old."

Gao Tai looked at Yuchi Yi in the carriage that had already turned the street, and said without thinking: "Lord Tang looks quite young, and seems to be far from the old man you mentioned."

"Look at this guy named Tang, how old is he this year?" Yuchi Yi looked at Gao Tai with disdain and asked.

How could Gao Tai know how old Tang Sicheng was?

Seeing Gao Tai stuttering and unable to speak, Chen Qibao answered for him, "About 27 or 28 years old."

"That's it, he is almost half our age, so he must be an old man." Yuchi Yi raised his head and said as a matter of course.

An Xin watched the boys quarreling without paying any attention. He turned his head to look outside and saw a group of people in the distance. They knelt down when they passed by.

Kong Xun, who was also looking outside, said, "They are people from Zhengjia Village. Those kneeling behind them should be people from other villages who were persecuted by the landlord Qian.

Knowing that it was you who reported the matter to the government office, officials came down to help them get their land back and find their relatives. This is their way of expressing gratitude to you."

An Xin did not ask Erhu to drive the carriage over. He was helping them sincerely. He was also venting his anger because his disciples had worked for a long time but did not get the due compensation.

There's no need to act like someone's benefactor.
