Before, when Xiao Yuan first arrived in Qinzhou, at the reception banquet, in order to confuse Guo Qian and others, he pretended to be a corrupt official, which attracted Liu Changqing to be angry and scolded, and he was also put on death row.

Later, Xiao Yuan also transferred his files, checked his past political achievements, and found that the Lin County governed by Liu Changqing was unmatched in both the people's livelihood and taxes among the counties in Qindi, and his talent can also be seen from it.

It's just that in the previous Qinzhou, corrupt officials and corrupt officials were connected into a line, the state government decree was harsh, and he was powerless to change anything with a county order.

In Liu Changqing's heart, he pinned a lot of hopes on the new Taishou this time, but Xiao Yuan's performance undoubtedly disappointed him to the extreme, presumably this is also the reason why he recklessly reprimanded on the spot.

A Qing official, I thought that there would be a master, but I didn't expect it to be like that again, and it is normal for him to have that kind of emotion under the helplessness in his heart.

Qinzhou Prison.

The two jailers were eating peanuts and chatting, and someone outside said that Lord Taishou had arrived.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the cell opened, and the two jailers immediately panicked, and quickly stood up, and said in unison, "I have seen Lord Taishou." ”

"No need to be polite." As he spoke, Xiao Yuan also casually glanced at the peanut shells on the table.

Seeing this, the two jailers' hearts tightened, and they couldn't help but slide their Adam's apple, swallowed their saliva, and lowered their heads.

However, Xiao Yuan didn't say anything about this, but asked directly: "What about Liu Changqing?" ”

"Huh?" The jailer was stunned for a moment, then reacted and said, "I'm in prison." ”

"Take the officer." Xiao Yuan didn't talk nonsense.

"Yes, my lord, please." The jailer hurriedly led the way.

Not long after, Xiao Yuan had already come to Liu Changqing's cell, at this time the latter was sitting on the ground in prison clothes, his hair was scattered, his eyes were a little dull, and he couldn't stop muttering: "It's over, Qinzhou is finished......"

Looking at his appearance, Xiao Yuan couldn't help frowning, and asked the jailer, "How many days have he been like this?" ”

"Yes, my lord, just like now, I have been muttering something about the end of Qinzhou...... the jailer replied.

"Oh." Xiao Yuan responded, he was really afraid that something would happen to Liu Changqing and he would become crazy and stupid, so he couldn't help but call at him: "Liu Changqing, Lord Liu." ”

He was standing outside the prison door, but Liu Changqing turned a blind eye before, and it wasn't until Xiao Yuan shouted a few more times that he came back to his senses, and when he saw that it was Xiao Yuan, he immediately sneered, and said mockingly: "Oh...... It turned out that Taishou-sama had arrived. ”

Seeing that he was normal, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and didn't care about his ridicule at all, but said with a smile: "Lord Liu has been wronged. ”

"Humph! Stolen officials! "Who knows that Liu Changqing is unappreciative.

Xiao Yuan could understand his feelings, but where did the jailer understand the inside story, seeing this, he immediately pointed at Liu Changqing, glared and shouted:

"Bold!"

"Huh?" Xiao Yuan stopped the jailer, then waved his hand slightly and said, "You go down first." ”

"Yes." Too obedient, how dare the jailer hesitate, immediately bowed and retreated.

After he left, Xiao Yuan also took two steps forward, personally opened the prison door for Liu Changqing, and walked in.

In Liu Changqing's heart, Xiao Yuan, a big corrupt official, should have come to kill himself today, and he also hummed fearlessly: "If you want to kill, you have to listen to it, you don't have to pretend." ”

"Huh." Xiao Yuan smiled and asked with interest, "Lord Liu is not afraid of death?" ”

"Dead?" Liu Changqing sneered again: "Is it possible that in order to survive, I want to go along with you, continue to exploit the people for you, a corrupt official, and loot the people's fat and ointment?" ”

As he spoke, he said directly: "Quick kill, don't say much!" ”

Well, this person has a sense of righteousness, Xiao Yuan nodded secretly, and said, "Lord Liu misunderstood." ”

"Misunderstanding?" Liu Changqing said: "It's really a thousand miles for an official, just to seek wealth, compared to the previous Taishou, the foot is more hateful, as soon as he comes to make a big fuss about taxes, he intends to make money by modifying the Taishou Mansion, which is unbearable!" ”

"Haha-" Xiao Yuan smiled when he heard this, and then patted Liu Changqing's shoulder: "Lord Liu, if this is not the case, how can this official confuse Guo Qian and the others, you say." ”

"What?" When these words came out, Liu Changqing was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he couldn't help but say, "This ...... What does this mean exactly? ”

Xiao Yuan said: "The new official, the situation in Qindi is complicated, internal and external troubles, the long history of Guo Qian, the tree has deep roots, and there are many henchmen, if you come, you will act rashly, not only will you not be able to clear the obstacles, but you will also be on the cusp of the storm, can Lord Liu understand these?" ”

"You...... What do you mean......" Liu Changqing was already a little dumbfounded, and his attitude had obviously changed.

"Everything needs to be planned and then moved, although this official is the Taishou of Qinzhou, but he also needs the military and political power in his hands to completely clean them up." Xiao Yuan explained.

"Then, that ...... my lord" Liu Changqing had already changed his name, obviously believing seven or eight points.

Xiao Yuan continued to laugh and said: "If this official wants to kill you, why bother to deceive you, take 10,000 steps back, if this official is really in the same league with Guo Qian and the others, how can Lord Liu have his life at this time?" ”

Yes, that's exactly what he said! Thinking of this, Liu Changqing's eyes suddenly widened, and under the renewed hope in his heart, he knew that he was afraid that he would meet the real master!

didn't wait for him to speak, at this time, Xiao Yuan had already flicked his sleeve robe, folded his hands, and saluted Liu Changqing, and said: "I was helpless before, so that Lord Liu was wronged in prison, and this official hereby apologizes to you." ”

His movements, which are ancient standard etiquette, are very in place.

At that time, the dignity and humility were distinct, and there was a difference between the top and the bottom, Xiao Yuan was too dignified, the highest administrator of Qindi, under such an action, where did Liu Changqing dare to bear it, he hurriedly returned a big gift, and said flatteredly: "My lord has tormented the lower officials." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "If Lord Liu still feels wronged, he can scold the official again." ”

"No, no, no, not aggrieved at all."

Liu Changqing said excitedly: "Now I know that the adult's plan is that the lower officials are ignorant and misunderstand the adults, if the corrupt officials can be punished, if Qinzhou can see the light of day again, let alone the prison, it is the head of the lower official, and the lower official is also willing." ”

His tone was sincere, Xiao Yuan also smiled heartily, and then pulled his arm and said, "Let's go, Lord Liu, I have washed your official uniform, and I am waiting for you to come out." ”

"This, my lord......" He is the lord of Qinzhou, at that time, there was no master who treated his subordinates like this, and Liu Changqing was flattered again.

Xiao Yuan said as he walked: "Qinzhou needs officials like you, the people need officials like you, and this official also needs people like you to assist in order to govern Qinzhou well......"
