    Chapter 900: Heartache: Although most of the people whose names Fang Jie checked on the roster were not high-ranking, their positions were important.  Just like screws one by one, they may seem inconspicuous, but if they fall off, some of their functions will fail.  Often people like this are easily ignored, and problems can arise if they are ignored.  Most of these people work in the Zhuque Mountain camp. Some of them go out to inspect the surrounding areas. They probably haven't received the news yet. Fang Jie's investigation was so vigorous and resolute. Even if some people knew about it and had a good relationship with the people under investigation,  I didn't dare to leak the news privately. Anyone involved at this level could see it and hear it.  Dugu Wenxiu deliberately let some people know about Fang Jie's words about "killing people", just to tell them to be smarter.  In less than ten days, everyone including Zhang Chu who was out on inspection was brought back.  Counting the days, there are only four or five days left before Sang Sasa's due date.  Except for Zhang Chu, all the people brought back by the Xiaoqi Riding School were gathered in the meeting hall of Zhuque Mountain.  Even now, in fact, they don't know what happened.  The Knight Riding School did not use force when they called them over, they were very polite.  So some of them even thought that Fang Jie had called them here to hold a separate meeting.  After all, those arrested this time were all people within the same functional scope.  "Do you know what's going on?" "I don't know, but it's not a bad thing" "That's not guaranteed. The lord called us all together as soon as he came back. Who knows if something went wrong somewhere?  " When this person spoke, the word "key" was used in a very strong tone.  "Don't worry." One of them smiled and said, "Haven't you heard that Mrs. Sang is about to give birth? What can happen on such a happy day?" Everyone then laughed knowingly.  "You're right." The voice came from outside the door, and everyone was startled.  They looked back and saw Fang Jie slowly walking in from the door with his hands behind his back, followed by a team of riders.  Looking at the hands of the knights on the sword hilts, everyone suddenly felt a sense of fear.  These civil servants did not know that it was the murderous aura carried by a person who had killed many people, especially when such a person wanted to kill again, the murderous aura was strongest.  Fang Jie walked through the crowd, walked slowly to the chair in the middle and sat down. Unlike usual, he did not let these officials sit down.  "Just before I came in, I heard someone say that I am about to have a baby in my family. It is a great joy. Thank you in advance. This is indeed a great joy. You all regard this as a great joy. I am very grateful." Fang Jie first clasped his fists.  The people below quickly bowed their heads and responded.  "There is another sentence that is right." Fang Jie changed his tone, looked at the people below and said slowly: "Someone said before that my child will be born in a few days, so nothing will happen.  "That's right, that's why I rushed back from Subei Road to get everything done before my child was born." Fang Jie leaned back and pointed outside: "Brother."  Come here, one of you may know him. After a while, those who know him come up to me, and I will respect you as a man." Chen Xiaoru, who was standing at the door of the meeting hall, waved, and then four of them came.  The Knight Riding School escorted two people in from outside.  These two men were wearing heavy handcuffs and shackles. When they walked, the sound of the iron chains scraping against the bluestone floor was so harsh.  Although Magistrate Lou was slapped fifty times and his flesh and blood were bruised when he was in Pinggu County, more than ten days later, his face could be vaguely recognized.  Following him was his brother-in-law Feng Yizheng, who was obviously injured much more seriously than him, but fortunately it was not on his face.  When they saw these two people, the faces of several officials in the hall changed involuntarily.  Fang Jie looked at everyone and shook his head slightly.  Then he fixed his gaze on Magistrate Lou¡¯s face, paused for a while and suddenly smiled: ¡°I haven¡¯t said thank you to Magistrate Lou yet, but I have already gone down from Hutongtian for the three thousand taels of silver exchange notes you gave me.  I took it out from the bank and made some toy wooden beds for my soon-to-be-born child. The remaining money will be used to buy wine, because there will be a banquet to celebrate later. " Magistrate Lou sounded a little familiar, and he seemed to be a little smart.  He was confused when he heard this and looked up subconsciously, and saw Fang Jie's face, a face he would never forget.  It seems that no matter when and where, in the eyes of everyone, Fang Jie is a person who is easily remembered.  "It'syou!" Magistrate Lou was furious: "You took my money, why did you still?Sell me out!  " He was not so stupid to begin with. He had suffered too much mental torture in the past ten days. He had been in a state of confusion all day long. At this time, when he saw Fang Jie sitting high up on top, he didn't even react. Wait until he shouted these words.  Then he suddenly realized something, his face suddenly turned pale, and then he sat down on the ground, his eyes distracted: "How could this behow could it be you" "You ungrateful thing!  " Feng Yizheng is a real idiot. The reason why he is able to do so well is because of the care of County Magistrate Lou. This man does things without thinking at all. He actually raised his two chained fingers and pointed at Fang Jie  : ¡°You took the money given by my brother-in-law, and you actually wanted to inform on him!  Who dares to bully my brother-in-law in Pinggu County for so many years?  I advise you to be obedient and let us go!  Let me tell you, there are many adults in Zhuque Mountain Camp who are friendly with my brother-in-law. Don¡¯t say I didn¡¯t warn you!  Be careful, you don¡¯t even know how you died!  " "Shut up, you idiot!  " Magistrate Lou scolded with a trembling voice: "Why don't you kneel down and plead guilty!  He is the Duke of Zhenguo!  " Feng Yizheng was stunned for a moment. After a while, he suddenly let out a strange cry, his face turned pale, and he fell straight back, fainting from fright.      Fang Jie looked at the people below, everyone  The one who stood up couldn't help but feel a little disappointed: "Why can't you just leave with a little dignity of a man?  "The people below all lowered their heads, no one dared to speak, or even dared to breathe loudly. "I have said before that greed is the constant driving force for people to move forward. Only greed can have fighting spirit.  Greedy for victory, greedy for status, greedy for the world But if the word "greedy" is followed by the word "money", the taste will really change.  The money I gave you is not enough?  Isn't it?  It¡¯s because looking at lots and lots of money makes you feel satisfied, at ease, and comfortable. It¡¯s even as good as when you hold a woman and shake her for the last time, right?  " Fang Jie stood up, walked down slowly, and walked in front of those people one by one: "I never expect anyone to be able to do the four words of selfless dedication, because I can't do it myself.  Everyone says that I am good to the people, and that is because only in this way can the people be good to me. To put it bluntly, this is also a kind of selfishness.  Although the money I give you won't make you rich, it will still be enough for your family to eat whatever they want and wear whatever they want, right?  " Fang Jie sighed: "At this time, you will want an antique?  A curio?  " He looked at those people. There was no disappointment or anger in his tone. There was nothing. It was as calm as the water of Xuanwu Lake. "Actually, greed is human nature. I didn't want to use Chongdian.  Although I haven't said it explicitly, I am tolerant to you. It's not that I just know you are greedy, but because you are still doing things even though you are greedy for money.  The reason why I have called you all here today is because your greed has gone beyond the limit.  " Fang Jie walked up to Magistrate Lou and looked at this pale man: "Because you are so greedy that you don't want to keep tabs on your mouth, so there will be people like this who are tyrannical in the local area.  As long as such people exist, people will suffer.  Do you think I will allow someone to destroy the image of the Black Flag Army that I have worked so hard to build in the minds of the people?  " He pointed to one of the people and asked: "If you were me and I were you, would you allow me to do that?  "The man was so frightened that he trembled and dared not answer. "Don't tell me that you are a first offender.  " Fang Jie walked back to the chair and sat down, glancing at them. "My hands are stained with too much blood, but I never want to be stained with my own blood.  The enemy's blood will make me more motivated, but my own blood will only make me sad I am not saying this to teach you to change your ways. You will not have that chance. I just want you to understand before you die.  .  "Some people were so frightened that they fell down, while others knelt down with a plop. "My lord I don't ask for forgiveness, I just ask for the death penalty!  The subordinate did not dare to argue, but asked the lord to give the subordinate a chance to repent.  Your subordinates are talented and can still do things for you!  You can also do things for the Black Flag Army!  " Someone fell to the ground and begged. Fang Jie shook his head: "You can serve as officials in the Black Flag Army because you are talented and learned.  I have been thinking in the past two days, if you endure it until I take you to the highest place in the future, no matter how greedy you are at that time, you may be able to be greedy even more.  But you are too anxious, really too anxious.  " "Tell me, why are you greedy?  " Fang Jie pointed to one of the people. The man's eyes were full of tears, but he didn't dare to speak. " Don't dare to speak?  " Fang Jie rubbed his temples and seemed to have a headache: "??Let me tell you The reason why you are eager to be greedy now is partly because of your nature, and partly because you don't believe that I can make it to the end. You are trying to find a way for yourself.  If the Black Flag Army is defeated and we are killed, you will have money in your hands, and at the worst, you can live very comfortably.  " Fang Jie paused for a moment: "If I were you, maybe I would think so too But unfortunately, I am me and you are you.  " "Chen Xiaoru" Fang Jie waved his hand and ordered: "Since they have nothing to say, just take them all down."  How to interrogate, how to interrogate, how to deal with, how to deal with.  For you people, I rejected Dugu's request to resign and demoted him two levels. If you feel that you have been wronged, think about whether he was wronged.  " He seemed too lazy to say anything else, and looked a little tired: "When I send them off on their way, add an extra bowl of wine for each person. Think of it as the wedding wine I treat you to.  My child is about to be bornI have to finish all the bloody things before he is born and then happily wait for him to be born.  I remember that we people in the Central Plains have always had a custom. In order to pray for blessings, when a baby is born, he will put a little cinnabar on his foreheadI will lend you your blood. Thank you.  " Chen Xiaoru said hello, and the riders from the brigade rushed in and pushed everyone out. Most of those people were frightened, but few of them begged and howled. "Notice Huangyang Road, Beihui Road, Nanhui Road  , Yongbei Road, Pingshang Road, Yunnan Road, Subei Road wherever our Black Flag Army rules, the Knight Riding School will strictly investigate such cases.  " He turned to look at Dugu Wenxiu: "You are a scholar, you should preside over" After saying this, he stood up and left. Chen Xiaoru glanced at Fang Jie's back and hugged Dugu Wenxiu: "Sir, the master  The public trusts you because you are honest and fair.  " Dugu Wenxiu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly: "My lord uses me, for the reason I just mentioned I am a scholar, so I don't have murderous intentions My lord feels sorry for me.  "
