The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

The massacre scene that occurred in Mengguan County was also happening in the other five counties.

There was blood everywhere. From the county magistrate to the yamen runners, they were all ruthlessly killed, leaving no one alive.

The county government office of Yingkou County was filled with the smell of blood and hundreds of corpses were piled up.

A middle-aged man with a bun and wearing a coarse linen shirt, he was tall and had a smile on his face. He looked towards Litian City in the distance. It was Yan Shiqi, the county magistrate of Yingkou County. He was also the one who quietly handed Ye Feng the letter and said, "I hope that the Zhenguojun can expose Yang Qingxiang's hypocritical face."

"Master Yan, you have a good eye. If you hadn't said that the King of Zhenguo would punish Yang Qingxiang, we wouldn't have believed it and would have thought he was just going through the motions."

A smile appeared on the face of a yamen runner. They were all Yan Shiqi's confidants. It was indeed not easy for them to lie dormant in Liuchang County for so many years.

"Our king is truly a wise minister bestowed upon your majesty by heaven. Although I have only met him once, I can see clearly that he is proficient in both civil and military tactics."

"If he governs the Great Song Dynasty, our Great Song Dynasty will surely be revived, and those of us who want to serve the country will also have a place at that time."

There was an excitement gleaming in the depths of Yan Shiqi's eyes. He had been lurking in Liuchang County for so many years just to wait for such an opportunity.

……

"Have you heard that the Lord of the State sent troops to kill all the officials in our Mengguan County? Now the entire county government is filled with piles of corpses."

"I just walked by there, and the smell of blood was very strong. I don't know why the King wanted to kill them all. I don't know how I offended the King."

"I have long heard that this state ruler is cruel and bloodthirsty. Now it seems to be true. But if we kill all the county magistrate and others, who will govern Mengguan County?"

"I really don't know what they have done wrong, but they were killed by the King of the State. Isn't it a bit too cruel?"

Whether in Mengguan County or other counties, everyone was discussing why Ye Feng wanted to kill all the officials!

……

Outside the Heavenly City.

Yang Qingxiang led officials such as Du Shangling and Qu Kun. He walked towards Ye Feng with a smile on his face, bowed and saluted, and said: "Liuchang County Governor Yang Qingxiang led the governor Du Shangling, the deputy driver Qu Kun and other officials to welcome the Lord of the State to our county. I hope the Lord of the State will forgive me for not welcoming you from afar!"

"Lord Yang, there is no need to be so polite. I have just arrived outside Li Tiancheng not long ago. Ignorance is not a crime." Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly and saw that the official uniform Yang Qingxiang was wearing was indeed full of patches. The official uniforms of Du Shangling, Qu Kun and other officials who followed him also looked very shabby, and each of them looked extremely shabby.

You have to know that the county magistrate is an important official in the area, a third-rank official of the Song Dynasty, with a monthly salary of nearly two thousand taels of silver, so it shouldn't be so miserable.

"Thank you, Lord Zhenguo, for your magnanimity. I have already arranged a separate courtyard in Li Tian City. Please come over." Yang Qingxiang said softly to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng nodded slowly and said, "Master Yang is so frugal, I really can't bear to see you spend money. But since Master Yang has made such a kind invitation, I'd better obey your order."

"Eunuch Wei, immediately send a message to the Minister of Revenue Hai Ming. As the Minister of Revenue, he is derelict in his duty, even though the governor of Liuchang County is so poor that his official uniform is patched up. Order him to quickly investigate the tax situation in Liuchang County and give an explanation to Lord Yang."

Ye Feng looked indifferent, pretending to be a little angry when speaking to Wei Xian beside him.

Without waiting for Wei Xian to reply, Yang Qingxiang was filled with emotion and quickly said, "Your Excellency, this matter is not the fault of Lord Hai. I think the official uniform is wearable. I have been mending it for three years and I am used to it."

"The land in our Liuchang County is barren, sparsely populated, and the annual harvest is not very large. The people are hungry. If I can save a few more victims with a set of official uniforms, I will be satisfied."

Ye Feng nodded in satisfaction and said, "I finally understand why all the officials in Liuchang County are so frugal. It turns out that they all take Lord Yang as their role model. If every county governor in the Song Dynasty was like Lord Yang, then I can go home. There is no point in going on this inspection."

"Your Excellency is truly a disgrace to me. I really don't deserve the honor."

When Yang Qingxiang told lies, he did not show any anger or nervousness, and his tone and expression were all very lifelike.

"Zhen Guojun, please enter the city!"

Yang Qingxiang bowed slightly and continued to invite Ye Feng.

"Ok!"

Ye Feng did not continue to refuse. He wanted to see what the situation was like inside Li Tiancheng and whether it was the same as in other counties in Liuchang County.

Leading the crowd and five hundred cavalrymen, they entered Li Tian City. The surrounding buildings looked dilapidated and seemed particularly desolate and miserable.

The people around looked ragged and the whole city gave people a dead feeling. There was no sense of life at all. It was extremely depressing, as if everyone in the city was a walking corpse.

In this way, Ye Feng led everyone and followed Yang Qingxiang to a villa, which looked very shabby.

"We in Liuchang County have limited financial resources, and I hope the Lord of the State will not despise us." Yang Qingxiang's face was full of bitterness, and he slowly said, "If the County Governor's Mansion was not too simple and old, and could not accommodate so many people, I would like to invite the Lord of the State to the County Governor's Mansion."

"I think the house in front of me is very good. Thank you, Lord Yang!"

Ye Feng remained calm. He led everyone to clean the house very thoroughly. It seemed that Yang Qingxiang had made preparations. However, everything else inside looked extremely shabby.

"I will go back to the county governor's mansion to prepare for the banquet, and then send someone to invite the king and the others to come. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask."

Yang Qingxiang, along with Du Shangling and other officials, left the courtyard.

Su Hong and Wang Changhao could not help but say, "This Yang Qingxiang is so good at pretending. If we had not read Yan Shiqi's letter in advance, we would never have thought that such a shabby, virtuous and humble man would actually do all kinds of things behind the scenes, such as being a thief and a prostitute, and bullying the people."

"Zhang Yan... continue to investigate the situation. You can go to the county governor's mansion first. Remember to pay attention to your own safety. This Yang Qingxiang is not simple."

Ye Feng looked at Zhang Yan who was not far away and conveyed the order.

"As you command, Master!"

Zhang Yan's petite body moved extremely fast and disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. He felt the aura of the Three Yuan Divine Religion from Yang Qingxiang.

"It won't be long before Yang Qingxiang finds out that all county officials will be executed. Will he then resort to desperate measures?"

There was some worry in the depths of Su Hong's eyes. Now Li Shanxiao and Madam Xinling had left with 4,500 cavalrymen, and now there were only 500 cavalrymen following Ye Feng.

If Yang Qingxiang has ulterior motives, he will inevitably train a lot of private armies. At that time, they will be at a disadvantage and everyone will be in danger. He followed Ye Feng and raised questions.

"As long as we find evidence of Yang Qingxiang's crimes, that will be his death. There is no need to worry."

Ye Feng looked indifferent. He wanted to see the banquet at the County Magistrate's Mansion in the evening.

What will Yang Qingxiang do?
