Chapter 215 Seeking support
This person is the wanted criminal Scar Wang Sanxiao, and he is also the target of his inspection this time. He was originally a rogue from Wangjia Village under the jurisdiction of the neighboring county. Later, he had a conflict with an old man in the village. He rushed into the house in the middle of the night and killed the old man. He then hid in the mountains and became a bandit.

He appeared several times later, and together with some bandits, he robbed some small caravans. The reason he was put on the wanted order was that he had made a big deal. He robbed the silver that the county’s granary was using to buy grain from the neighboring county. The two county governments worked together to suppress the bandits, and several people escaped, including Wang Sanxiao.

Who could have thought that the other party would appear again recently and was rumored to have entered the city. Now, he was waiting directly outside his room. It was impossible to say that he didn't do it on purpose.

After a careful search, I found a portrait of myself on my body. This was also in the feudal era. The portrait was actually not as confusing as the ones in TV dramas. It couldn't be compared with photos, but I could still recognize it as myself. This was coming for me.

He boldly assumed that the people he had offended most recently were the county magistrate and the county magistrate. As for the prosecutor and the assistant magistrate, they were already people in the government office, and he did not offend them personally. It had been a year or two since the incident, so the possibility was not high. However, it was also possible that they had deliberately waited so long.

But with their power, if they really wanted to do something to me, this is not a society that values ​​evidence. Without them saying anything, their servants took action and the county government directly demoted me.

As for the county magistrate, the possibility is not high. When I was in charge of the warehouse, I didn't give him face and didn't let him take more things. He used some tricks on me.

The most likely person is the county magistrate. Although he was demoted, that was 70 acres of land, and he reported it directly. The county magistrate was not afraid of taxes, as he himself did not pay them, but his family relied on these hidden fields to expand the family.

Having land can attract farmers who have no land to come and farm. In order to avoid paying taxes, they simply don't register their household registration, but they also leave their fate to the family.

Once these hidden fields are discovered, they can only be cultivated by farmers with household registration. My interests will suffer long-term losses and I might even want to kill myself.

This is actually a very common thing in this society. Shen Qingzhou will naturally be hated for exposing it directly.

Come to think of it, he also owns land. Now think about the old man, he is not actually an honest person. In other words, he is a local tyrant and has influence in the county.

The Shen family is considered a big family in the county. The old man was the previous patriarch, which is why he was able to become the county magistrate. He is also capable.

But when it came to Shen Qingzhou, the old man saw that he was no good at all, and knew that he could not win the support of the people. He just wanted him to live a peaceful life, let the clan cultivate the land, and pay him grain every year. There was not much he could do. After all, he was just a country squire.

Every year after the autumn harvest, he would receive a pile of grain. Anyway, he didn't have to worry about food all year round. In Shenjia Village, people would send him silver from time to time. When he thought about it now, it was just like getting paid. Could it be that they were afraid that he would do righteous things everywhere and starve himself to death?

Although he has justice in his heart, his first priority is to ensure his own survival. Of course, there are always some poor people who can receive his support, and there are also some who pretend to be poor, but he is influenced by the Song of Righteousness and can identify them at a glance and leave them alone.

Looking at Wang Sanxiao in front of him, he quickly dragged him into the yard and went straight to Shenjia Village. It was called a village, but it was actually next to the county town, otherwise, how could he become a local tyrant.

"Who?" Relying on memory, he came to the village where he used to come often, but had not been after the old man left. He felt deeply moved. He only did things for justice and ignored human feelings. It would not be possible to rely on instinct. If he came here often, these would be his supporters.

"Chief, it's me, Shen Zheng." Shen Qingzhou said.

"Shen Zheng, it's really you, why are you here?" The clan leader is an old man, who was recommended by the old man before he left, and it is very likely that the next clan leader is his son. The old man really relied on his prestige to promote him, and of course, he also has the ability. Why did he promote him? He just wanted them to greet Shen Qingzhou. Although Shen Qingzhou has not personally experienced the old man's love, he can imagine it.

"Chief, someone wants to kill me."

"What? Come in quickly." The clan leader called all the family members. Although he looked down on Shen Zheng, a descendant who didn't even come back to worship his ancestors, was unkind, even a little stupid, and only knew how to be a goody-goody, but since he was back, he was a member of the Shen family, and he had the favor of the old man, so he had to hold on.

"I was patrolling the streets tonight and met Wang Sanxiao, a wanted criminal from Lin County. He was waiting for me at the door of his house. After I found him, I ambushed and killed him. This was found on him." Shen Qingzhou didn't waste any words.

"No, I have already told Niu Er about patrolling the streets at night. Why did he let you go out at night?" said the patriarch.

"Niu Er knew that Zhengdi had no connection with us, so he must have thought that nothing would happen. He was greedy for money and did nothing." A middle-aged bearded man analyzed.

Shen Qingzhou then understood that the tribe had secretly made arrangements for him. Okay, that's very kind. I will take them flying in the future.

"Wang Sanxiao, he is a desperate criminal. Someone wants to kill you. Shen Zheng, you are my cousin's son. Originally, you didn't recognize us, and our clan didn't plan to have too much contact with you. But now that you have found us, we have to step forward."

In fact, the clan leader was also very disappointed. Shen Zheng had messed up the good situation. He was only one step away from being the registrar. If he could get promoted, it would also benefit his clan. However, looking at Shen Zheng's communication now, he was no longer as uncommunicative as before. He had changed because of being oppressed, which was a good thing.

I brought my people back to the mansion that night. Being close has its advantages.

[Song of Righteousness: The host kills the wanted criminal Wang Sanxiao and gains Talent x10]

Shen Qingzhou didn't even want to accept this pitiful talent. It was already pretty good. Over the years, he had only gained a little bit of talent, which was accumulated through hard work. It was too slow, so he still had to become an official.

On the second day, Shen Qingzhou, dressed in the uniform of a police officer, was followed by two young men carrying a corpse, and several young men beating gongs and drums, and went to the county government office.

"Constable Shen Zheng, personally killed Scarface Wang Sanxiao who is on the wanted list. Fellow villagers, there is no need to be afraid of this bandit." The people behind him were all young and strong men from Shenjia Village.

This time, one is for publicity, and the other is actually for support. Before, Shen Zheng was ignorant, so they helped him secretly. Now, the other party obviously wants to return to his roots, so they must help.

"Really, Lord Shen, what a good man." Needless to say, Shen Qingzhou is also very famous among ordinary people. Although his abilities are limited, he will help when he can, and he will not be partial to others when he is an official. He has a very good reputation. Many people secretly say that although Lord Shen is too kind, he is definitely a good official, but he was harmed by the corrupt officials and was demoted all the time. However, ordinary people can't do anything about it.
