What's worse is that he accidentally saw the boxes sent by the two families.
He was very familiar with it, as that was how the previous county magistrate accepted gifts.
Could it be that the master also... Wang Jia was worried. If the master was corrupt, should he pretend not to see it or not?
Fang Zhiyi visited all the wealthy families in his jurisdiction and asked some very strange questions. After asking, he returned to his back hall and started writing and drawing. He also had arrangements for the yamen runners. He first taught Wang Jia and others some strange ways of arranging troops and then asked them to train the soldiers of the patrol camp every afternoon.
The question is what he read in a book.
In addition to this, Fang Zhiyi continued to send out messengers and at the same time had people post recruitment information.
Wang Jia was increasingly confused by the master's actions. He used to think that the master was extremely greedy, but now it seemed different. Those wealthy people took the initiative to visit the master with things in their hands, and they would often stay for the entire afternoon. Even his former enemies came together, and they looked very close.
As Fang Zhiyi took out the silver again and asked people to recruit soldiers, Wang Jia's heart trembled violently.
Could it be that... the master wants to rebel?
When this thought came to his mind, he was shocked himself.
So if the master rebels, should I rebel with him or should I rebel with him?
However, he was not troubled for too long, as Fang Zhiyi assigned him a task: to escort his family back to his hometown.
The journey was thousands of miles long, and Wang Jia felt even more uneasy. He had also heard another piece of gossip: their county magistrate was actually the biological son of the current prime minister, Fang Tiantian!
Before leaving, he wanted to say goodbye to his master, but he heard his master talking to those wealthy families about some strange words like "resource integration" and "foreign trade". He didn't understand at all, but the heads of those wealthy families were listening attentively.
Wang Jia was not worried, but he was very clear about one thing: what the master was doing now had crossed the line. If someone reported it to his superiors, the master would be dead. But after thinking about it again and again, no one would dare to report him, right?
Moreover, there is no official higher than Fang Zhiyi in Qingping County. No matter what he does, the final right of interpretation belongs to him.
Song Yunfan spent every day in prison like a year.
After finally removing the shackles, someone opened his cell door again. This time he was very cautious, but he still heard the cry of "Someone's escaping from prison!" the moment his hand touched the door.
Of course, he was beaten up again.
But this time they didn't put him in shackles. Instead, they threw him into the big cell next door. Most of the prisoners in there were involved in fighting, stealing, and vandalism. They were usually thrown out after being locked up for a while.
But Song Yunfan noticed something was wrong. Ever since he came in, these people looked at him unfriendly, and some of them even knew him.
"It was because you escaped from prison that our sentences were extended!"
"Hit him!"
"You can't beat him to death, spank him! His butt!"
While being beaten, Song Yunfan finally listened to the prison boss. The prison boss said that the county magistrate was very angry because Song Yunfan had escaped from prison many times. The result of their anger was that they would punish everyone involved. Since Song Yunfan had escaped from prison, they would increase his sentence.
In fact, this is to prevent these people from leaking information.
In addition, the laws of Da Qi stipulated that these ordinary people would be released after serving enough time in prison. Fang Zhiyi felt that this was a waste of manpower, so he simply moved the labor reform out. Except for Song Yunfan, all the prisoners had to go out to work every day.
