I'm a useless prince, so what if I know a little bit of chemistry?

Everyone saluted.

"Master Hou!"

Lin Fan waved his hand and said to the crowd, "This man must be the county magistrate. Let's save his life first. It might be useful."

"Yes."

Even with Lin Fan's order, no one took action, but someone took the county magistrate to the jail.

Lin Fan thought about it and decided that he should not attack Minjiang Pass directly. If he attacked directly, although it would be a sneak attack, his team would still be frustrated, so Lin Fan planned to pretend to open the city gate.

And if Lin Fan did this, then he would naturally be able to use the county magistrate.

Lin Fan took his men to rest briefly in the city, and then sent people to bring the county magistrate out of the prison.

The county magistrate had been so frightened after what had happened before that he now wished for nothing but to survive.

So after Lin Fan brought him up, the county magistrate immediately knelt down and kowtowed, as if he didn't know what to do except kowtow.

Lin Fan looked at Xianxian's cowardly face and knew that his plan seemed to be feasible.

So Lin Fan asked, "What kind of dealings do you have with the people in Minjiang Pass?"

The county magistrate did not think about it at all and immediately replied: "I will give a gift to Lord Cao."

Lord Cao is the prefect of Minjiang Pass. His name is Cao Chun. He is not good at leading troops in battle, but he is proficient in business. He is very good at corruption and bribery.

The county magistrate in front of Lin Fan would naturally give gifts to Cao Chun in order to climb higher.

Lin Fan looked at the county magistrates, then pretended to be angry, slapped the table hard, and said impatiently: "It turns out it's useless, drag them out and behead them."

Someone immediately came and pulled the county magistrate, as if to drag him out and behead him.

The county magistrate was so frightened that he burst into tears and shouted, "No, no, I am still useful, I am still useful. Although I only gave gifts to Lord Cao Chun, I will also buy food and grass from Lord Cao."

After listening to this, Lin Fan nodded with satisfaction. If they were to escort the food and grass, it would definitely require a lot of people. If he could lead his own people in, he might be able to capture Minjiang Pass.

So Lin Fan asked, "When will you escort the food and grass, and how many people will you bring with you?"

The county magistrate did not dare to hide anything and immediately told Lin Fan about his problem.

"We go there once or twice a month, and we're sending people there again these past two days. Usually, we carry one to two thousand people each time we go there."

Lin Fan thought about it briefly and decided that if there were one or two thousand people, it would be possible. After all, after one or two thousand people entered the city gate, the city gate could be opened in a short time. In other words, when he succeeded, he could cooperate with the outside forces.

"What token do you need to enter Minjiang Pass?" Lin Fan asked.

"We don't need too much, just a token and silver." The county magistrate said hastily, fearing that if he spoke too late he would be dragged away and chopped by the young man in front of him.

Lin Fan nodded and asked the county magistrate to take out all the tokens. Finally, he carefully inquired about the process before suppressing the county magistrate.

Lin Fan did not intend to let the county magistrate go easily. After all, whether he was guilty or not was up to the people of Luocheng to judge. If it was proved that the county magistrate had not done anything against the law, then he would naturally be fine. If he had done something outrageous, the people of Luocheng would not let him go.

In fact, Lin Fan was not wrong in his guess. Lin Fan did not bring this case to public trial, and Lin Fan did not even have time to hold a public trial.

Because the next day when Lin Fan was about to take people to Minjiang Pass, the soldier guarding the cell ran over.

"My Lord, the county magistrate is dead."

Lin Fan was not overly surprised, but simply asked, "How did he die?"

"He was poisoned by the common people. The people who poisoned him have already surrendered themselves. Please make your decision, Lord."

Lin Fan waved his hand casually and said, "Find out the reason, investigate it, and take care of them accordingly. Anyway, there is still a lot of money and grain in the treasury of Luocheng. It is estimated that all this money and grain were taken from the people. We should return it to the people when the time comes."

Afterwards, Lin Fan took most of the people to Minjiang Pass.

Among them, Zhao Feng led 2,500 people disguised as county magistrates and went to Minjiang Pass, while Lin Fan led a large group of people and went to Minjiang Pass through a small road.

Zhao Feng arrived at Minjiang Pass and then led his men inside.

When the soldiers guarding the gate saw so many people coming, they knew what they were here for, so they stopped Zhao Feng.

"Stop, what are you doing? You brought so many people with you. Are you bandits?"

The people around saw this scene and seemed to have gotten used to it, and they just whispered to each other.

"Look, these dog officials are planning to harm people again!"

"Who says it's not true? These corrupt officials are squeezing the people's money. But in my opinion, these people are probably from Los Angeles. They are not good people either. It's okay for them to bite each other."

When the soldiers guarding the city gate heard these words, they turned around and glared at the people. The people were so frightened that they dared not say anything and dispersed.

Zhao Feng smiled slightly, pretending to be humble, and said to the soldier: "Brother, we were sent here to buy food. Can you please make it easier for us?"

After Zhao Feng finished speaking, he took out one or two taels of silver and stuffed it into the soldier's hand.

The soldier touched the heavy silver in his hand and immediately smiled brightly.

"So you are from Luocheng. We are all family. Come in quickly. Lord Cao is waiting for you."

Zhao Feng was amazed at how quickly this man's expression changed, because the moment before he stuffed the silver into his mouth, he still had a look of wanton cruelty, but after he stuffed the silver into his mouth, he immediately changed to a amiable look, which made Zhao Feng feel a little disgusted.

Zhao Feng secretly memorized his face, intending to kill this man with a single blow later. However, Zhao Feng did not plan to do anything now. After all, he came here with a mission. If the mission failed because of his impulsive behavior, Zhao Feng felt that he would be ashamed to death.

After entering Minjiang Pass, Zhao Feng did not immediately take his men to look for Cao Chun.

Because the county magistrate said that after entering Minjiang Pass, they would first eat, drink, gamble and whore, and only after they were full would they buy gifts and go to find Cao Chun.

In order to avoid exposing any flaws, Zhao Feng also led his men to do this.

At the same time, on the other side of the Minjiang Pass gate, a group of people were about to enter Minjiang Pass.

"Stop, who are you? How dare you force your way through Minjiang Pass? Aren't you afraid of losing your heads?"

Huangfu Qi had heard about the bribery here, so he just slapped him and said, "Tell Cao Chun to come out and see me. If you are a step slower, I will take his head!"
