Two days later, Fan Ning's ship arrived in Yin County. Perhaps because it was by the sea, Yin County was a little warmer than Hangzhou, but its prosperity was far less than Hangzhou, and it was quite similar to Wu County.

The pier was very close to the county government. Everyone got off the boat and looked at the surrounding scenery curiously.

Although it was late winter, it was not as bleak as winter. Many trees were still green and there were not many pedestrians on the shore, but they were neatly dressed. The same was true for the buildings. Although the buildings were not tall and surrounded by long walls, it looked like it had rained a few heavy rains.

The roofs and streets were washed clean, with black tiles, and the bluestone slabs on the ground were rubbed brightly.

"Senior brother, this county is quite clean."

Lin Hong looked around and smiled and said, "You will know when you look at the river. The water here is indeed clear."

Fan Ning nodded and smiled, "Wu County relies on the water transport of the Grand Canal of Beijing and Hangzhou, but it relies on the sea transport here. Of course, the river water is relatively clean. Let's go to the county government."

Everyone went to the dock and saw a far-reaching officer who rolled his tongue and shouted in official language: "May I ask, are you all the people Fan Xiaoguanren from Wu County and his party?"

Fan Ning was a little surprised. How did Wang Anshi know that he was here at this time?

He hurriedly said, "It's Fan Ning, Wuxian."

"That's right!"

The toll laughed and said, "Mr. Wangxian. I guess you are coming today. Let me wait on the dock. Please follow me!"

"Do you want to hire two ox carts?" Su Liang asked.

"No, we can take a shortcut and we will reach the county government in a moment."

The man led everyone through an alley and arrived at the square at the entrance of the county government office in a moment. He saw several long queues lined up in the square at the entrance of the county government office, with about hundreds of people.

These are the people who came to the county government to borrow money to prepare for spring plowing. Each of them held a wooden sign in their hands, which was the farming sign issued by the government. Last year, after asking the government to pay off the money borrowed, they would get this farming sign. With this farming sign, they could borrow money from the government to prepare for spring plowing.

Seven or eight archers were maintaining order, and each farmer who borrowed money stretched his neck and stared at the row of tables in front of the line.

Several civil servants were busy registering information and then signing a loan contract.

In fact, farmers don’t have much money to borrow from the government, and they borrow 500 million yuan per mu of land, which is enough to buy seeds and rent oxen.

If the loan repayment record was good last year, no mortgage was required.

If the loan last year was overdue and not repaid, it is not impossible to borrow it again, but land needs to be used as collateral, which aroused dissatisfaction among many farmers, and the complaints from the group who went to Hangzhou were caused.

Fan Ning and his group came to the small square at the entrance of the county government. Fan Ning saw Wang Anshi from afar. He was sitting behind a table to review the qualifications of farmers and asked a few questions from time to time.

After not seeing each other for more than two years, Wang Anshi has become thinner and darker.

Generally speaking, the term of office of a county magistrate is three years. If there are special circumstances, it can be extended by one to two years, such as if there is a major event that has not been completed, or if it is retained by local people, etc.

If nothing unexpected happens, this year will be the last year Wang Anshi worked in Yin County.

Wang Anshi also saw Fan Ning and his party. He smiled and got up to come to greet him, but at this moment, someone in the distance suddenly shouted: "I'm shocked, please dodge it!"

I heard the sound of hooves like thunder, rumbling against the ground, shocking.

Looking closer, two large and strong green oxen were running wildly from not far away. The two oxen were running too fast. The people who were queuing up had not yet understood what was going on. One ox rushed straight into the crowd, while the other ox knocked over more than a dozen people and continued to rush towards the table.

The people were so scared that they cried and called their parents and fled in panic, but many people were unable to run fast and were knocked down by the big green cow. The big green cow stepped on the human body and rushed towards the other people.

The other big green bull rushed straight to the table, and Wang Anshi was stunned, and stood there without dodging.

‘Click! Click!’

The big green bull knocked over two tables in a row. When it saw someone blocking the way in front of it, it became more angry. It simply lowered its head, squirted out a heavy breath, and pushed Wang Anshi hard with its horns.

Seeing that the big green bull was about to take over Wang Anshi, at this critical moment, a short crossbow arrow shot like lightning, with an extremely powerful force that penetrated the bull's head.

The big green bull fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, twitching in his limbs, and his death on the spot.

The other archers then realized and stood in front of Wang Anshi.

At this time, the other cow was also subdued by the archers. The small square was in a mess, with crying and shouting everywhere. More than a dozen people who were knocked to the ground struggled to get up, while others remained motionless.

Fan Ning and his group reacted very quickly and immediately rushed forward to help the fallen people.

Fanning quickly walked to the big green bull that was shot dead. He could see clearly that an arrow shot out from the alley about twenty steps away from the opposite side.

It was this arrow that saved Wang Anshi from being knocked down by the Shocked Bull.

Who shot the key arrow? Is anyone secretly protecting Wang Anshi?

Fanning also saw these two cows clearly. There was a dagger in each of the butts of the cows. It was obvious that someone was deliberately creating trouble.

Fan Ning quickly walked to the front of the big green ox. Wang Anshi had been protected by the archers and entered the county government. No one could guarantee whether there would be a second attack.

The alley on the left was empty, and the people who shot archers were nowhere to be seen. Several archers in the distance were searching where the green cow was running, and it seemed that there was no gain.

The big green bull lying on the ground was already dead. The dagger inserted into its butt was completely pierced into its body, leaving only the hilt outside, but this was not a fatal injury.

The fatal injury was a crossbow arrow inserted above its head. This short crossbow arrow was at least five inches, shot through the middle of its eyebrows and also mostly penetrated into the bull's head, leaving only one arrow tail outside.

It can actually shoot through the skull of a cow. This is not something that can be done by ordinary short crossbows. Only large military crossbows have this possibility, but crossbow arrows are obviously not shot by military crossbows.

Although I can't figure out the reason, someone is secretly protecting Wang Anshi, which is a good thing no matter what.

At this time, Duan Yu came to Fan Ning and whispered: "Four people died and eight people were seriously injured. Three of them were very dangerous and probably wouldn't survive."

Duan Yu is weak and has been in contact with doctors for many years. He knows a little about first aid skills. Even if he says something powerless to turn the world, he will probably not be able to save him.

"Mr. County Master, you can't go out, it's still very dangerous outside!" A fierce dissuasion came from the county government.

"No matter how dangerous it is, you have to go out!"

Wang Anshi's angry voice came from the county government, "The people are not sure about their lives and deaths, what is it for me to hide here?"

Wang Anshi finally walked out of the county government. His face turned pale and his eyes were filled with anger.

He knew very well that these two cows would not fall from the sky. Except for those money shops, no one else would do such a thing?

But Wang Anshi did not expect that the other party would use such extreme means to deal with him, which made Wang Anshi feel angry.

He glanced at the wounded who was rescued, then at the big green bull lying on the ground, and his eyes finally fell on Fanning.

There was a little more guilt in his angry eyes.

"Brother Fan, I'm really sorry today. You encountered an unsafe incident when you first came!"

Fanning shook his head and said lightly: "We are not insecure, we are just watching. However, now it is probably not as simple as an incident. It should be called a bloody crime."

"What?"

Wang Anshi was shocked. He understood the meaning of the word "Bloody Case", which means that a person's life is killed.

At this time, Wang Anshi didn't care about Fan Ning for the time being and walked quickly under the east wall of the county government not far away.

The corners of the wall were already surrounded by people watching the fun, and several yamen runners stepped forward and tried hard to push the crowd away.

"Everyone let me give in, the county lord is here!"

Wang Anshi walked through the crowd and found that at least six people had been covered with straw mats. This made his brain buzz!, and six people died?

At this time, a doctor living nearby was rescuing another seriously injured old man. He sighed softly, stood up and shook his head to Wang Anshi behind him.

Wang Anshi felt a chill in his heart, and another person died, and now seven people died. This is a major case no matter what, but if more than ten people die, it must be reported to the court.

Wang Anshi asked anxiously: "What is the situation of other injured people?"

"Qi Bing County Lord, there are three people with fractures and two people with minor injuries, so no one should die again."

Wang Anshi breathed a little relieved, but the murder of seven people who died was still pressing on his heart like a mountain, making him extremely angry.
