"Why didn't you inform me earlier?" Gu Qian lowered his voice and asked sharply.

"I don't know if it's a small matter!" Zhang Yongwei was puzzled: "I heard Tai Ye say that the prefect's yamen didn't give us an official document at all. ”

"What?" Gu Qian was stunned, his angry face suddenly fell silent, he sat on the chair, his fingers tapping rhythmically on the tabletop, and the whole person fell into deep thought.

According to the usual theory, it is impossible for the envoy to come to Qingjiang without informing the local officials, and besides, the □□ of Nanxiang and Beixiang are far from the point where they are going to send troops to quell the chaos.

What exactly does the envoy want to do? Does Governor Xiao know about this? No, he must have known, because the affairs of the Xinghua Mansion could not reach the ears of the envoy without his report? Especially in this peaceful season, even if it is the envoy, it does not mean that the troops can be transferred. These procedures cannot be passed without the review of several departments.

Extrapolating from the time, the plan to transfer troops to quell the chaos had already been reported to the province before he arrived in Qingjiang. Thinking of this, Gu Qian gasped, he was already planning to suppress it by force, and let himself urgently take office to solve the chaos in Qingjiang.

Could it be that this is a conspiracy against himself? Gu Qian became more and more suspicious, and paced around the room with his hands behind his back.

"Master?" Zhang Yong asked in a trembling voice.

Gu Qian waved his hand and said, "You go out first." ”

"Master, we have to rush back to the county seat as much as possible, otherwise the envoy will not go out of the city to greet you when the inspector arrives, but it is a great disrespectful sin!"

"I see, you go out first. ”

Seeing Gu Qian's gloomy expression, Zhang Yong didn't dare to urge him anymore, so he could only shake his head and sigh and go out.

Gu Qian was pacing around the room, his mind was racing fast, if he wanted not to break this battle, he had to come up with a perfect countermeasure.

According to the inspector, Xiao Zhifu, Qingjiang County, Yu Sanli, Duan Guangrong...... A figure flashed in front of his eyes, and a series of interests were rewoven in his heart, why did Xiao Zhifu avoid it? Why did a small □□ ask provincial cadres to lead troops to suppress it? Is there any important information in this that he has ignored?

Gu Qian walked around the room again and again, and it wasn't until Zhang Yong came into the house to refill the lamp oil that he stopped abruptly.

"Zhang Yong, go and call Yu Sanli. ”

"Sir, it's late. ”

"Go!"

"Yes!"

Seeing Gu Qian's voice, Zhang Yong didn't dare to delay, and trotted all the way to find someone.

"Master, what's wrong?" Seeing Gu Qian's face not good, Gu Xiaojiu asked.

Gu Qian shook his head and said, "You are guarding outside." ”

"Yes. ”

Because it was Gu Qian's invitation, although Yu Sanli had already fallen asleep, he still got up in his clothes and followed Zhang Yong.

"It's so late, Mr. Gu has something to do with me?" Yu Sanli said unhappily.

"Please be seated. Gu Qian didn't say anything polite to him, and sat down on top of him. Yu Sanli was stunned for a moment, and the Gu Qian in front of him and the humble Gu Qi before seemed to have changed as if they had changed a person.

"Sir, this is ......"

"Don't hide it from the three masters, I am not the account office of the Yongde ticket number. ”

"What?" Yu Sanli was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Then who are you?"

Gu Qian didn't answer him directly, but gave Zhang Yong a look.

"The third master, this is our new county magistrate in Qingjiang County, Master Gu!" Zhang Yongzhi stood aside and said proudly.

"Are you the new magistrate?" Although Yu Sanli was mentally prepared, when he heard Zhang Yong's words, he never imagined that the new parent official of this county would stand in front of him alive.

"A grass people, dare not kneel when you see an official?" Zhang Yong also restored his true colors as a bookkeeper and began to pretend to be a tiger.

"Said that he is the county master, do you have any credentials?" Although Yu Sanli had already believed a little, he still struggled to himself.

Gu Qian took out the tooth tag from his sleeve and let him see clearly by the light, this thing can't be faked, and it is fake, Yu Sanli can learn the truth from the spies hidden in Qingjiang at dawn the next day, so Gu Qian really doesn't need to fake his identity.

"How's it going?

"I see it clearly. Fine beads of sweat oozed from Yu Sanli's forehead, he glanced up at Gu Qian, and found that the other party's expression was calm, and there was a solemn look on his handsome face, and he was shocked in his heart, and knelt down, "The villain has seen the county master." ”

Gu Qian calmly watched him kneel down, and it wasn't until Yu Sanli's knee touched the ground that Gu Qian smiled and personally sat down to support him, "The three masters don't need to be polite." ”

Yu Sanli was helped up by him, he only smiled bitterly, kneeling, you say kind words again, it's a bit hypocritical, right? But Gu Qian is an official after all, as long as he doesn't want to tear his face with the government, he really can't do anything with Gu Qian.

"Lord Gu is a good method, Yu really thought that you were the account of the Yongde ticket number. Yu Sanli couldn't help complimenting: "I don't know if Master Gu went to Nanxiang to serve Weiwei, what advice can't be done?"

"The family doesn't talk to each other," Gu Qian waved his hand and said, "You sit down, I have a private interview first, and you don't know about it, so you should complain." As he spoke, he asked Yu Sanli to sit down at the bottom of the head, and said to Zhang Yong: "You and Xiao Jiu are guarding outside the door, and you are not allowed to enter without being summoned!"

"Yes!" Zhang Yong promised, turned around and went out.

"Master Gu, are you looking for Yu to come over late at night, is there anything important?" After Yu Sanli experienced the initial shock, his reason slowly returned, obviously there was nothing unusual before entering the door, why did Gu Qian rush to call himself over as soon as Zhang Yong came, and even gave up his hard-working identity to disguise, and directly revealed his official body, what happened to him?

Seeing Yu Sanli's worries, Gu Qian said solemnly: "The third master guessed correctly, this official has received the news that tomorrow the army of the envoy will arrive in Qingjiang County, and there is not much time left for you." ”

"What?," Yu Sanliyu stood up suddenly, "What do you mean by this? Since you want to lead troops to quell the chaos, why do you still want to go to the countryside to coax us to play? You are easy to bully the villagers of our Nanxiang, aren't you?"

Gu Qian sat in his place, not afraid of Yu Sanli's angry face at all, and when he heard Yu Sanli's questioning, Gu Qian said lightly: "If I agree to quell the chaos by force, will I still disguise myself and run up dozens of miles of mountain roads to come to Nanxiang?

Seeing Gu Qian gradually revealing the majesty of his superiors, Yu Sanli was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What does Master Gu mean?"

"It's not interesting," Gu Qian looked at Yu Sanli and said lightly: "You sit down first, don't be impulsive." ”

"Adult, how can the little ones not be impulsive?" Yu Sanli smiled bitterly: "This is a major event related to the death of several villagers in Nanxiang, it is not a pity for me to die, but what can the innocent people of Nanxiang do?"

"So, here I am. ”

"Can you stop the army of the Inspector?" Yu Sanlihu wondered.

"No, you can't. ”

"Then what else is there to say!" Gu Qian's pretended appearance angered Yu Sanli again, he glared at Gu Qian, and said loudly: "If the adults can't think of a way, it is better to go back to Qingjiang now, Yu Someone hereby promises that he will never let his subordinates hurt the adults." ”

"This is what Yu San has seen?" Gu Qian sneered: "According to the envoy's army, the army is about to arrive, do you want to lead the Nanxiang villagers to fight to the end?

"What then? Do you just sit back and wait to be killed?"

"The writing of the three masters is good. Gu Qian praised.

"My lord!" Yu Sanli was anxious, this was not the time to laugh.

"Alright, let's get down to business. Gu Qian straightened his face and said, "You made trouble in Qingjiang County that day, why did you burn the county government but let Wang Zhixian go?"

"The burning of the county government was done by the people of Beixiang, but there were many noisy people at that time, and there was no tangible evidence. ”

"What about letting Wang Zhixian go?"

"Killing an official of the court is a crime of beheading, who dares to really kill him?"

"So you let him go?"

"Yes. ”

"So you know the proportions in your hearts, and you don't want to make enemies with the government?"

Yu Sanli saw that Gu Qian had what he thought, and hurriedly nodded: "If it weren't for the fact that the surnamed Wang was too greedy and forced us to have no way to live, who would run to Qingjiang to make trouble, and wouldn't be tired of living!"

"But don't you think it's strange? Before, you only went to make trouble because the policy surnamed Wang was unreasonable, according to common sense, as long as he announced that the notice was invalid, why did it make trouble to the point that it could not be cleaned up?" Gu Qian reminded.

"This ......"

"Also, since you said that you didn't go to rebel, why did you burn down the gate of the county office? Do you know that unauthorized assault on the county government should be punished as a crime of rebellion?"

Yu Sanli's cold sweat trickled down, seeing Gu Qian's calm expression, as if everything was under his control, Yu Sanli's heart was horizontal, and he knelt down in front of Gu Qian with a plop, and said in a deep voice: "Please teach me!"

"I don't dare to teach you, I just don't want you to lose your life in such a daze. Gu Qian looked at him and said lightly: "You get up, I still have something to ask you." ”

"Yes. Yu Sanli responded and stood solemnly on Gu Qian's side.

"You said that the burning of the county government was done by the people of Beixiang?"

"Yes. ”

"No credentials?"

"Yes. ”

"Then why was the second head of Beixiang arrested?"

"This ......" Yu Sanli paused for a moment and recalled: "At that time, the scene was chaotic, he and our big boss were together to shout to everyone, and after a few strange officials came, they invited the two of them to the teahouse to talk, and then there was no news." ”

"So, he has a good relationship with your boss?"

"It wasn't good before, but the relationship has only eased up since Wang Zhi County issued a new notice. ”

"After the two of them were arrested, did you have any dealings with the big boss of Beixiang?"

"I've written letters, but I've never met. Yu Sanli was still holding his breath when he thought of the humiliation incident in the day, and he said hatefully: "I didn't expect the surname Duan to be so bad!"

"So, that's what I find weird as well. Gu Qian chuckled, quickly smiled again, and said in a deep voice: "According to the envoy's army, it is about to march to Qingjiang, but the surnamed Duan not only does not win you over, but instead abuses you by unscrupulous means, what do you think he relies on?"
