It is said that it is difficult to be a Beijing official, but in fact, this magistrate, especially a magistrate without a strong background or an iron fist, is not easy to be. Because in addition to the tedious official duties, they also have to deal with the constraints of their subordinates who have different intentions.

Emperor Tiangao's words are not just words, those who have colluded with local families or gang forces, and even lower-level officials, sometimes have more power in the yamen than the number one, and it is not too uncommon to control them into a puppet in their own hands.

This is especially true in small counties in remote mountainous areas. The situation here in Suzhou City is slightly different, the officials of the government are not bold enough to dare to compete with the prefect, and Kang Sichuan is also an extremely capable official, and it is impossible to be suppressed by these subordinates.

But the shortcomings in the city still exist, because of the special status of the Cao Gang, they have already formed interest groups with many officials. Although Kang Sichuan already knew all this, in the case of a rat trap, he could only let it go, as long as they didn't go too far and affect their career prospects, they wouldn't delve into it.

It was his attitude that made the Cao Gang, Zhao Keyuan and others more and more bold, so that the scene of reversing black and white half a year ago appeared, and finally caused today's bitter fruit.

And in such circumstances, they don't have the slightest repentance, and still want to cover up their previous mistakes, so they don't hesitate to sacrifice Huo Zheng and Lu Jin, who took the initiative to get on the boat and replace people! When he understood this, the anger in Kang Sichuan's heart suddenly rose.

If something happens to Lu Jin, he will not be able to get over it in his conscience, and he will not be able to explain to Hu Hu, who is far away in the capital, so that's it. What's even worse is Huo Zheng, once this person in the palace is really killed, he will be fully responsible as the prefect of Suzhou.

This is a fact that Kang Zhifu can't accept no matter what, but just when his face sank and he wanted to object, he met the gloomy gaze of the subordinates in front of him, and his heart suddenly chuckled and sank deeply. He knew that things were difficult, and if he insisted on overturning the case for Yue Nanxing, these subordinates would definitely not obey their fate, and they would become a lonely existence, or even ......

At this moment, Kang Sichuan really regretted it. I knew that I shouldn't have allowed them to act recklessly before, I thought that these were just trivial matters, but I didn't expect the aftermath to be so big.

"My lord, this fang is bold and reckless, and he really can't understand the majesty of my government if he doesn't punish him severely, so please order the punishment!" Looking at his boss with a cloudy face, Zhao Keyuan stepped forward again and proposed in a deep voice.

Yue Nanxing is not a person in the officialdom, so he doesn't know the doorway. However, from the looks of everyone, there are still some clues, it seems that the prefect can no longer control the situation. Seeing this, he laughed unconsciously: "Hahaha...... It turns out that the government is nothing more than that......"

This laughter was like a slap in the face of Kang Sichuan, making his face turn red, and his body trembled with anger, he gritted his teeth, and finally made a decision: "Someone——! ”

"Lord Yu has arrived!" Just as he was about to give the order, a prolonged voice suddenly sounded outside, startling everyone in the hall. And when they looked out, they saw Yu Qian, who was dressed in a bright red official uniform, striding with his head held high and walking calmly under the escort of more than 100 officers and soldiers.

Yu Qian's sudden appearance really surprised everyone. But the official positions of the people are much higher than theirs, even if everyone is about to decide something important at this time, they don't dare to turn them away, so after being stunned, they all stood up and respectfully greeted the court: "I've seen Lord Yu!" ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be polite." Yu Qian smiled modestly at them, and bent down to help Kang Sichuan, who was in front of everyone: "This official is here to thank you." If it weren't for the timely action of the people from the Suzhou government, I'm afraid I would have ......."

"Lord Yu is serious, and I am ashamed. It was the lower officials' lax governance of the place, which led to last night's rebellion, and afterwards the lower officials would definitely present their tables to the court to ask for guilt. Kang Sichuan said modestly.

"What is the crime of the Kang Governor's Mansion, as long as this chaos can be quickly quelled, this official will say something for you in the imperial court." Yu Qian smiled and gave the other party a reassuring pill.

These words really made Kang Sichuan feel happy again. Yu Qian's status in today's court is quite high, and his reputation is also extremely high. Especially crucially, it also occupies a very important position in the heart of the Son of Heaven. As far as the Kang prefect knows, the emperor did not allow any of Yu Qian's policies to show the imperial court. Therefore, once he has the voice for himself, his responsibility in this matter will inevitably be much lighter.

Of course, there is a premise for all this, that is, to put down this chaos as soon as possible. Just, can this really go that smoothly?

Just when Governor Kang was both happy and worried, Yu Qian's eyes fell on the person in the hall who was still being held alive and kneeling on the ground: "Who is this person?" ”

"Back to your lordship, this man is the leader of the rebels who attacked your car earlier. The lower officials and others are about to interrogate and understand, and they will be condemned! Zhao Keyuan replied first, and while speaking, he glanced at Kang Sichuan thoughtfully.

"Really? Did you ever ask why he did such a rebellious thing? Yu Qian didn't pursue the other party's somewhat arrogant words, and asked a question.

"This person has a very hard mouth, but he refuses to recruit, so the lower officials and others are planning to torture him. Lord Yu just has to take care of it, under Miki, he will definitely be able to pry his mouth open! Zhao Keyuan said again.

But as soon as his voice fell, an angry shout came from inside: "It was your government and the Cao Gang that colluded to force our brother to be cornered, and we will listen to people trick us into revenge!" Although they are all dead, if you want to slander Lao Tzu, you don't want to! ”

"Bold fanatics, at this time, they dare to bark wildly above the court! Quick, pull him out of here and beat him hard! Zhao Keyuan's face sank quickly, regardless of the presence of Kang Sichuan and Yu Qian around him, he gave the order.

The servants inside agreed, and dragged Yue Nanxing to take him away for torture. They were all Zhao Keyuan's cronies, so they naturally knew that this person couldn't stay here anymore and let him talk too much nonsense.

But at this moment, Yu Qian spoke: "Slow! ”

With his words, several soldiers who followed him crossed over and stopped the errand soldiers. This change made everyone's faces change again, and Zhao Keyuan was even more weak, and said with a forced smile: "Yu ...... What do you mean? ”

"What do you mean? Didn't you listen to this man? I'm afraid that there is something else hidden in this matter, so the official naturally can't just ask. Yu Qian spoke slowly.

"However, this is my case in Suzhou Mansion, is it a bit unruly for you to take care of it?" Zhao Keyuan's heart suddenly tightened, but he still mustered up the courage to refute. Although Yu Qian in front of him gave him a lot of pressure, the stakes were so high that he could only bite the bullet.

"Rules? Hmph, do you know the rules? Yu Qian snorted coldly, and his gaze shot on the other party's face like electricity, so that Zhao Keyuan's footsteps couldn't help but retreat.

Yu Qian has been up and down in officialdom for many years, and he is almost unstoppable with a heroic and righteous spirit. Not to mention Zhao Keyuan, even Wang Zhen, who is now in power, he also has the courage to confront him head-on.

After Yu Qian made the other party shrink back in fright, he said, "Who is in charge of this mansion?" It's not you Zhao Tong, it's Kang Zhifu. When is it time for the officer to discuss things with you? ”

This is so reasonable that Zhao Keyuan can't refute it. And his face became more and more ugly, and at the same time, an idea had been born - Yu Qian seemed to have premeditated this time!

Kang Sichuan has been suppressed by the situation just now, and everything is under control. As long as he nodded, then the matter would be resolved satisfactorily. Even if one Huo Zheng dies, adding another Lu Zheng is not a big problem. Even if the court blames it, there is someone Kang as the prefect in front of him. For them, for the Cao Gang, it is naturally business as usual.

But now, with the arrival of Yu Qian, everything is different. Kang Sichuan is not so easy to manipulate when he has foreign aid.

Sure enough, as soon as Yu Qian's voice fell, Kang Sichuan immediately spoke: "What Lord Yu said is very true, and the lower officials also think that there is something else wrong with this case, and it is true that people should not be tortured so hastily. What's more, now Gonggong Huo and Master Lu are in the hands of those chaotic people, if we mess around at will, it will only affect them. ”

"Huh? You said that Lu Shansi was taken by the rebels? Yu Qian suddenly frowned, and his face showed surprise: "What's going on?" ”

Kang Sichuan explained simply. Because of Yu Qian's prestige just now, those government officials didn't dare to intervene at this time, but their faces had changed drastically, and they knew that things were going to be bad.

They can rely on the connections they have accumulated in the government for many years to empty the prefect of Kang Sichuan, and they can also make him suffer, because if he really reports to the court, it will only appear that he is incompetent as the prefect. But in the face of Qian, it was a different situation, not to mention his identity, just the soldiers and horses who listened to the orders around him were not something that these officials could mobilize.

So, if he was determined to pursue the matter, they really couldn't object. Especially when Kang Sichuan nodded and agreed, Yu Qian had even more reasons to do all this, and it was logical.

Looking at the way they sang and harmonized, Zhao Keyuan was a little more convinced, Yu Qian was really premeditated, but why did he suddenly unite with Kang Sichuan? In fact, this is the first time they have met!
