Chapter 338 Chapter 337 Burning to death, it is impossible to be burned to death

When he learned that these were the medicinal herbs that he had secretly arranged for people and a few merchants to stockpile in preparation for selling at high prices during the epidemic, Magistrate Fang almost vomited blood in anger.

"Impossible, impossible. Those merchants are people who only seek profit. How could they easily agree to hide the secret from me and let you take the herbs for disaster relief?"

An Xin looked at the furious Prefect Fang and said calmly, "They were unwilling at first, but I told them that if they didn't want to.

When I return to Beijing, I will collect the information about how they unscrupulously raised prices during the disaster and ignored the lives of ordinary people.

There was also some evidence of their collusion with officials and a series of immoral things they had done, which was presented to the emperor for his review. Then they agreed. "

"You!" Prefect Fang pointed at An Xin, who had a smug look on his face, and was speechless.

Every word she said to the merchants was meaningful and her threats were very precise. If it were me, I would have to back off.

Even though businessmen have no conscience because they pursue profits, this is something that everyone knows.

But once their deeds were reported to the emperor, the prices of food and medicine would be raised tenfold or even dozens of times during times of floods and epidemics.

I'm afraid these people might have their homes confiscated and be exiled at best, or beheaded at worst, so it can be said that An Xin's tactic was very effective.

"But no matter how smart you are, today is the end." Prefect Fang said with a sinister look in his eyes: "You know too much, so don't return to Beijing. Stay in Nanyang forever and burn to ashes with this house that accidentally caught fire."

Prefect Fang said with a somewhat crazy look.

After saying this, he was about to leave and ordered people to light a fire to burn An Xin and the others to death here, so that what he had done in Nanyang would not be reported to the emperor.

Even if he, as the prefect, was responsible for the deaths of these people, he could do something and at most he would be demoted or dismissed from office. In either case, his property would be confiscated, his family would be exterminated, and he would even be beheaded.

You know what you have done. The bad things done by Magistrate Fang are not limited to this period of the epidemic. If all his deeds were to be brought to light, he would be killed eighteen times.

"Why are you in such a hurry? Come in and chat with me for a while." An Xin took out a gold locket worn by a child and played with it in his hand: "This gold locket is so exquisitely made. I wonder which famous craftsman made it."

"You bitch, what did you do to Yu'er?!" Prefect Fang was suddenly startled when he saw Jinsuo and shouted angrily.

"Pa." No one saw how An Xin moved his hands, but Prefect Fang's face was twisted and left with a red and swollen area.

"Watch your mouth. If I'm not happy, your only son born to you by your mistress will die in this sea of ​​fire with me."

The wife of Magistrate Fang is also a powerful woman. She is Magistrate Fang’s original wife. Mrs. Fang’s family is very powerful in their hometown.

Even if Magistrate Fang is capable now, he would not dare to divorce her easily.

Because Magistrate Fang's wife gave birth to three daughters, he took in many concubines in the name of continuing the family line, but none of them gave birth to children.

No matter how stupid Prefect Fang was, he knew that apart from the concubines, it was probably his good wife who did not want other women in the backyard to give birth to children.

Now he had managed to hide outside without being discovered by his wife. He had just given birth to a son at the age of 40, and he usually treasured him like a baby.

Prefect Fang glared at An Xin angrily, "What do you want?"

"I don't have any thoughts. I just really want to chat with you." An Xin said in a light tone.

When Prefect Fang thought of what An Xin had just said about dying together in the sea of ​​fire, his eyes suddenly lit up. He thought that he had finally gotten over his wife's misfortune of giving birth to money-losing children, and that the son she gave birth to was hidden in this house by An Xin.

So he sneered and said, "Someone search for me."

Soon, the sound of soldiers searching the yard was heard outside.

An Xin sat there with a calm expression on his face, while Old Doctor Su and the imperial doctors, who had no idea when An Xin had captured the other man's concubine as a threat, were all bewildered.

When the sound of swords and knives clashing suddenly came from outside, Magistrate Fang realized belatedly that he had fallen into a trap.

"You are stalling for time." Prefect Fang's eyes flashed with annoyance, and he asked puzzledly: "How did you spread the news that you were trapped?"

An Xin was amazed by Prefect Fang's stupid smile and suspected that his IQ had suddenly dropped.

She shook her head speechlessly and said in a teasing tone, "You brought so many people to surround this place. All you have to do is tell everyone in the city that you are going to take action against me, the Supervisor."

"Anyone in this city who knows what immoral things you, the prefect, have done, whether they are ordinary people or small vendors wandering on the street.

There may also be people you didn't expect, who may go out of the city to report this matter to the troops stationed outside the city with me."

"The city gates are closed now. Ordinary people can't get out?" Prefect Fang asked, unwilling to give up.

An Xin smiled and looked behind him.

When Prefect Fang turned around and saw Miao Guangchu, the Co-prefect of Nanyang Prefecture, walking in with his men, there was nothing he didn't understand.

"It's you." Prefect Fang glared viciously at the co-prefect who had not cared about anything since he took office in Nanyang Prefecture. He originally thought that he was a person who didn't like to meddle in things and was idle.

I didn't expect that he would be the last link that crushed me.

"Catch them for me." Prefect Fang ordered the dozen or so guards he brought in.

He looked at An Xin and the others with a sinister look, and said, "At worst, we will die together. Even if I cannot escape death, I will drag you down with me."

When Doctor Su saw that the two parties were about to fight, he grabbed three frightened imperial doctors and hid behind An Xin.

The corners of An Xin's mouth twitched. He wondered if he had gained weight during this period. He looked very strong and could give people a sense of security.

General Liu looked at his old friend with contempt. Doctor Su said that he was good at practicing medicine and saving lives, but not at fighting. He was good at talking, but not at using physical force. Then he raised his head and looked back at him with contempt.

An Xin did not move for the sake of the doctors behind him. He saw Prefect Fang looking at Li Ziyu and Zheng Xiaoling in surprise as they took out daggers from their bodies and killed people without even blinking an eye.

Only then did he truly realize how difficult it was to deal with this group of people.

General Liu was not to be outdone. Although he was old, he was also a fierce general on the battlefield when he was young and was no stranger to killing.

Under the astonished gaze of the Nanyang officials, there was an old man among the three men. In just a few moments, more than a dozen guards with swords in hand were beaten to pieces by them.

After several guards were injured, to everyone's surprise, they chose to rush out and escape.

Just when everyone's attention was focused on the people fighting in the hall, the city defense commander who had followed in without saying a word suddenly attacked An Xin.

He originally thought that since he was a military general, it would be easy for him to capture An Xin, a civil official and a female official, by surprise.

"Bang." The city defense commander, who had done many evil things together with Prefect Fang, was kicked to the ground. He raised his gray head and saw the female official he despised retracting her feet in her official boots.

All the Nanyang officials widened their titanium dog eyes when they saw this scene, looking at An Xin in disbelief. When did women become so powerful?

This leaves them no chance of survival.

An Xin took out a handkerchief and wiped her official boots, then sat up straight and saw the fight in the hall. Because she kicked the defending general away, the fight seemed to have been paused and was looking at her.

So he waved his hand and said, "You guys continue."
