"Master, Qingjiang can't go!" Listening to Gu Tai's words, Gu An was so anxious that he jumped to his feet, isn't this going to die?

"Don't go?" Gu Qian paused, glanced at him, and said, "If you don't go, you will disobey orders, and you will not be dead at that time!"

"What should I do then?" Gu An was dumbfounded, this is death, not going is death, why is his master so unlucky!

"Zihe, what do you mean?"

"This ......" Gu Tai pondered for a long time and said: "Since it is an official document of the political envoy, naturally it cannot be disobeyed, but should we drag it out?"

"Oh?" Gu Qian's eyes lit up, and he said, "How do you drag it?" Those two poor people have already seen his lively side, it is impossible to pretend to be sick, is there any other way?

"I think the lord takes the orders from above too seriously, but in fact, when you think about it, this matter is a bit strange. Gu Tai saw that Gu Qian listened to his words, so he said softly: "Taking the matter of Qingjiang County as an example, even if the county master runs away, there are still the main bookkeepers and others, even if the master can't handle it, report it to Xinghua Mansion, and the prefect will naturally come forward to handle it, and no matter how bad it is, he will send someone down." ”

"That's right!" Gu Qian's eyes lit up, and he said, "Since they have manpower, why do they have to go near and far to find me to solve the incident?"

Even if he loses power now, this black cauldron can't be carried casually!

"This thing seems normal, but my lord, you have rushed thousands of miles to Qingjiang, even if you start working immediately, you are always unfamiliar with the situation!"

"So this matter is their fault?" The string in Gu Qian's mind was gently plucked by Gu Tai, and he immediately thought of the most critical node in this matter.

"The seven-eight-day journey is limited to three days, if you can't get there, what if you are dismissed?" Gu Tai lifted the last hole cards of those people.

"Leave my officials, they won't be able to find the person who carries the black pot. Gu Qian's heart was settled, and he said with a smile: "Invite those two messengers in." ”

With the official document in hand, Gu Qian didn't embarrass the two messengers, packed up his things and went on the road.

It's just that on the road, he either has a stomach ache or a headache and a foot ache, in short, it is feasible to walk at the normal speed of travel, if you want him to hurry up and travel in the starry night, it is absolutely impossible to do it, just like that, in the helpless urging of the two messengers, Gu Qian arrived at Xinghua Mansion on the fifth day.

In the past five days, he has not been idle, and he learned about what happened in Qingjiang County □□ from the mouth of the messenger. It turns out that this Qingjiang County is a notoriously poor county, the people rely on growing grain and fishing for a living, the year before last I don't know which way the gods showed their spirits, they found a small silver vein at the junction of Nanxiang and Beixiang in Qingjiang County, because the silver vein is narrow, and the government is not effective in development, so the people of Nanxiang and Beixiang secretly developed some small silver kilns, and after collecting silver, it is used to subsidize the family, which is also regarded as an additional benefit.

The silver kiln is located between Nanxiang and Beixiang, the people of the two townships quarrel for the right to exploit, and from time to time they have to fight for the territory, because the two townships always have conflicts, so both parties have given gifts to the county magistrate, and want to rely on the power of the government to occupy some more benefits.

It's a pity that this county lord is a greedy person, eat Nanxiang and eat Beixiang, and always arch the fire on both sides when the thing is not done, and later see that there is more silver stuffed on both sides, and the greed is heavier, and he even issued a notice to return the small silver kiln to the government. As soon as this notice was posted, the people of Nanxiang and Beixiang suddenly boiled, and finally after a few days of prosperity, they were about to be served a job by the greedy county magistrate, which was simply unbearable, he didn't give everyone a way to live, everyone didn't give him a way to live!

At the instigation of well-intentioned people, the angry villagers ran to the county government to ask the county magistrate to give an explanation, but the county magistrate, who has always been majestic, can't get up at the moment, I heard that there are hundreds of villagers surrounding outside, and the county magistrate is so frightened that he almost pees his pants.

The more he didn't come out, the more excited the villagers became, and he could have calmed down the angry villagers by just coming out to announce that the notice was invalid, but he didn't know which bad idea he had given him, so he asked the messengers to secretly send a letter to the prefect's yamen and ask for support from above.

Well, as soon as the messenger slipped out, he was caught by the villagers who were besieging him, and when he searched for the letter, he found that the county magistrate actually wanted to ask the prefect to send troops to quell the chaos!

The villagers who originally wanted the county magistrate to give an explanation could no longer tolerate it, they swarmed up, smashed open the gate of the county government, and rushed into the courtyard to find the county magistrate who had died, but to the villagers' surprise, their team was also mixed with people from Lizheng, and it was these people who released the water and secretly let the county magistrate go.

Unable to find the owner of the iniquity, the villagers were so angry that they set a fire to disperse.

"Where is that Master Lin now?" Gu Qian dismounted in front of the prefect's yamen and asked with a stern expression.

"I don't know if it's small. The messenger laughed with him and went into the government to report.

Gu Qian was taken to the signing room, and while waiting, he was thinking about what benefits he could get from the prefect, after all, he was going to work behalf of the government, and if he didn't give some benefits, who could run to Qingjiang regardless of the danger?

It's just that Gu Qian's wishful thinking sounded, and the prefect's little Jiujiu was not bad. After a while, a person who looked like a master walked out from outside and said to Gu Qian apologetically, "This is Master Gu who is about to go to Qingjiang, right?"

"It's down there. Gu Qian arched his hand and said with a reserved smile, "May I ask who Your Excellency is?"

"No, it's the external master of Governor Xiao's mansion, his surname is Zhang Mingyue. ”

"It turned out to be Master Zhang, disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

"Lord Gu is polite. ”

The two of them exchanged a few words, and they didn't see Master Zhang mention the matter of meeting the prefect, Gu Qian was not good, and before he could ask, he heard Master Zhang say: "It's really a coincidence today, Lord Xiao went to Fuzhou to move the rescue troops, the mob in Qingjiang County did not listen to the restraints, and Lord Xiao sent a few people over and failed to calm the chaos, so he went to ask the governor to show and wanted to transfer troops to quell the chaos." ”

Mobilize troops to quell the chaos? Gu Qian's eyes darkened, things had already come to this point? Wasn't this pushing himself to die?

"Then the lower official will wait for the adults here!" Gu Qian said stiffly.

"Qingjiang County has no leader, adults must not stay longer, let's go to Qingjiang County as soon as possible!" "Master Zhang saw that Gu Qian was going to refuse, and put down a threat that seemed to be true and false, "Judging from the official document of the political envoy of Yibu, the prefect has been lenient and will not be investigated, but the lord will not go to Qing......jiang again."

You old puppet, do you just want Lao Tzu to die? Gu Qian can't wait to peel off the skin of this old guy, but the shape is not as good as a person, even if he is a master, it is also a dog raised by the top boss, and he can't help others. Helpless, Gu Qian responded with a smile: "Master Zhang is right, I will rush to Qingjiang and do my best to calm the chaos." ”

Under Master Zhang's vague and cunning gaze, Gu Qian walked out of the mansion dejectedly.

"My lord, how is it?" Gu Tai, who was waiting outside, hurriedly greeted him as soon as he saw him.

"Let's go to Qingjiang as soon as possible to take office, there must be no mistake. ”

"What?" Gu Xiaojiu was also anxious, the news of Qingjiang had reached Xinghua, and the streets and alleys were talking about the county master who had been burned and ran away with his tail between his legs. Now that my lord has been pushed up to the top tank, is there still a life there?

"Let's go!" As soon as Gu Qian took a step, he heard a sound from behind, and the messenger who delivered the document to him chased him out again, "Master Gu stays!"

"What's the matter, Lord Prefect has changed his mind?" Gu Qian's face was happy.

The messenger smiled awkwardly and said, "Master Zhang said that the prefect left a message and asked the little one to escort you to your post." ”

Zhang Yunzhong of the □□! Where did the special Lao Tzu offend you, and you are so looking forward to Lao Tzu's death? Is this the prefect's idea? Is this your old boy's own opinion? Gu Qian was so angry that smoke was rising above his head, but when he saw that the messenger had brought the horse, he had to climb up and take Gu Tai and the others out of the city unwillingly.

Seeing the group walking away, Menzi hurriedly went in and reported to Master Zhang.

Master Zhang smiled, took two sips of tea, and then straightened his clothes, walked into the back hall, and said to a middle-aged man who was writing: "My lord, the person has left." ”
