The Young and Vigorous Eighth Prince

Following his voice, the people followed happily, while Su Yuanguang, Su Yuqing and others looked at Jiang Fan in astonishment, and then followed him stupidly.

They never thought that Jiang Fan could mobilize the people with just a few words. To deal with the Red Lotus Cult, sometimes the power of the government is not as good as mobilizing the people!

So, in the following period of time, Jiang Fan took those people who almost became believers of the Red Lotus Sect and picked out the remaining branch temples of the Red Lotus Sect one by one.

Of course, the so-called miracles in the twelve altars are all just miracles created by some little knowledge of physics.

It was too easy to expose them. One of the so-called miracles was to put vinegar at the bottom of a pot and then perform a trick of scooping coins out of an oil pan.

Jiang Fan explained the principle to the people and even asked many of them to come up and experience the game of fishing money out of the oil pan.

As for the Red Lotus Sect's great wizard who was performing the oil pan fishing trick, Jiang Fan grabbed his hand and thrust it into the oil pan that had been burned with only the vinegar, and fried his hand until it was cooked.

The people finally believed that the so-called miracles were all lies. Jiang Fan and the people of Hejian Prefecture destroyed all twelve altars within one day.

Nearly a thousand Red Lotus followers in the twelve branches were all arrested. At the same time, Jiang Fan also asked the people to report the whereabouts of the Red Lotus followers.

Once a report is made, there will be no leniency and he will immediately lead the growing number of people gathered behind him to arrest the person.

Just like that, during the arrest process, Jiang Fan's people pretended to come and report that a large number of Red Lotus members were found in six locations.

Jiang Fan took the opportunity to mobilize the people to follow him to capture the Red Lotus members. These people were already extremely angry towards the Red Lotus.

When they heard that Jiang Fan was going to arrest the Red Lotus Sect again, their eyes lit up immediately and they all followed him with great enthusiasm.

At this time, the number of people rescued by Jiang Fan reached 50,000 to 60,000.

This is still the case because a part of the people left midway. Otherwise, the number of believers rescued from the Red Lotus alone might have reached as many as 100,000.

If these people start a rebellion, the entire Hejian Prefecture could be captured at any time. Su Yuanguang felt his scalp tingling when he saw this scene. His admiration for Jiang Fan reached its peak.

Jiang Fan took these 50,000 to 60,000 former Red Lotus followers and divided them into six groups, each with nearly 10,000 people.

At the same time, Jiang Fan also asked Su Yuanguang to divide his 2,000 men into six groups and rush to the six grain storage sites of the Red Lotus Sect.

In addition, Jiang Fan also sent out the 800 white-robed soldiers he brought with him.

The people's emotions have been aroused. If they don't take the opportunity to take back the food now, when will they do so?

Not only that, Jiang Fan also wanted to use the mouths of these people to let them know that the 500,000 shi of grain tax in Hejianzhou actually fell into the hands of the Red Lotus Sect.

Moreover, he also wanted to take this opportunity to drag Ye Shixuan, Hou Qinglin and Zhao Jingzhong into the water!

So, under the leadership of the people arranged by Jiang Fan, the people of the six groups rushed directly to the six grain storage areas. When they arrived, they saw the government troops arresting the followers of the Red Lotus Sect.

Then, the common people also joined in, and all the Red Lotus members guarding the granary were arrested.

When the people were celebrating the capture of the Red Lotus Cult, suddenly someone discovered that there was actually a granary in the middle of the place.

Then, someone discovered by coincidence that the grain in the granary was actually the grain tax that was lost in Hejianzhou.

Of course, all this was arranged by Jiang Fan!

When the people heard the news, they were all shocked. They had heard about the loss of grain tax in Hejianzhou, and even heard that the disappearance of the grain tax was inexplicable.

Now it seems that the grain tax was actually stolen by the Red Lotus Cult. However, the people are still wondering how the Red Lotus Cult stole the grain tax without anyone noticing.

Then, Jiang Fan's men pretended to be members of the Red Lotus sect, and under interrogation by Jiang Fan's men in front of the people, they revealed the accomplices behind the scenes.

With the help of three high-ranking officials from Hejianzhou, the Red Lotus Cult was able to steal the food silently.

When the people heard this, they suddenly realized that the grain taxes were well kept in the granary and it was impossible to steal them silently.

But if the governor, who is in charge of finances, helps, there will be no record of grain leaving the warehouse, and Hou Qinglin, the governor's counselor who is in charge of the city defense army, can also come forward.

The grain would be transported in the city without leaving any traces. Of course, without the tacit consent of the Hejian Governor, the two men would not dare to help.

As a result, the angry people immediately divided into three waves and began to attack the residences of the three high-ranking officials.

Anyway, with the people sent by the governor in charge, they felt much braver. Otherwise, even if they knew that the three men had done bad things, no one would dare to storm their mansions.

But now, with the governor's people leading the charge and so many people joining in, everyone became much more courageous.

Jiang Fan fanned the flames, and three waves of people rushed to the residences of Zhao Jingzhong, Ye Shixuan, and Hou Qinglin. In addition, Jiang Fan sent 100 white-robed soldiers to help each of them.

These three people were forcibly taken away by the white-robed soldiers who rushed into their own mansion! In the end, they were directly imprisoned in the dungeon of the Governor's Mansion.

Zhao Jingzhong, Ye Shixuan and Hou Qinglin haven't figured out what happened yet and they are recuperating at home.

As for the thugs and assassins he had hired, some were killed and some were injured because of the three-way fight, and there were less than 20 to 30 of them left who could be used.

Otherwise, it would be hard to say whether Jiang Fan could catch them so easily!

When the three were taken to the dungeon, the truth about the grain tax in Hejian Prefecture was revealed. The common people could testify that the grain tax was recovered in front of the common people.

Faced with such irrefutable evidence, it is simply impossible for Zhao Jingzhong, Ye Shixuan and Hou Qinglin to make a comeback!

Su Yuanguang was sitting in the Governor's Mansion at this time, and he hadn't come back to his senses for a long time. He originally thought that it might take some time for Jiang Fan to resolve the grain tax issue, but he didn't expect that Jiang Fan only took one day.

Not only did they destroy the Red Lotus Cult's layout in Hejian Prefecture, they also directly recovered the grain taxes in a fair and open manner.

What surprised him even more was that Jiang Fan eliminated Zhao, Ye and Hou in one fell swoop!

Jiang Fan also asked him to take this opportunity to arrest all the confidants of Zhao Jingzhong, Ye Shixuan and Hou Qinglin in Hejian Prefecture.

The four forces in the entire Hejian Prefecture almost all collapsed under Jiang Fan's thundering means.

Having said that, if Jiang Fan had not come to Hejian Prefecture and muddied the waters in Hejian Prefecture, causing the four forces to fight to the death, he would not have been able to deal a fatal blow to these people so smoothly.

If these four forces were really allowed to unite, Jiang Fan would be more or less hindered in doing things.

However, what he should worry about now is that although the grain tax has been recovered and he has successfully cleared his name, the problem is that the grain tax cannot be transported out now and the problem cannot be solved!

If the Red Lotus Cult were to become desperate and burn the food, he would not be able to escape the blame either!

In Kyoto, the news that Jiang Fan had resolved the grain tax issue overnight was quickly passed back.
