More than 100 miles away, in the Shun'an Mansion, Yao Zhaonian and Wu Zhiping, the prefect of Shun'an, sat in the high hall.

There was a young man kneeling under the hall, "I wanted to go into the city yesterday to discuss with my brother-in-law about the rent in the second half of the year, but I found that the city gate had changed a group of people, and I was sealed, and I couldn't enter the city, and no one recognized me. ”

After listening to what the young man said, Yao Zhaonian hurriedly stood up and asked, "Have you figured out what is going on in the city?" ”

The young man knelt down and replied, "It seems to be a new Jiupin official, it seems to be surnamed Xiao, yes, surnamed Xiao." ”

Yao Zhaonian looked at the prefect Wu Zhiping urgently, Wu Zhiping saw that Yao Zhaonian didn't know yet, and said, "It's the new champion Lang this year, I heard Governor Mo Ke say that he was assigned to your county because he was implicated in the fraud of his teacher." ”

When Yao Zhaonian heard that he was a Jiupin candidate magistrate, he hurriedly knelt down and said, crying and saying, "Lord Wu, you have to be the master of the humble position, now even a little Jiupin Sesame official dares to be so bold, my family is still in the city."

Wu Zhiping stood up with a frown, and comforted, "Don't worry, I've thought about it carefully, this matter is not simple, I heard you just now, a little Jiupin Sesame Official, dare to be so bold, if it were you, would you do this?" Is he really dying, not to mention that he is still a degraded and unwelcome. “

When Yao Zhaonian heard this, he didn't expect anything else, but he suspected that his brother-in-law didn't figure out the situation, and asked viciously, "Lord Wu is also here, the matter is not trivial, let me ask you again, the matter can be clarified, if it is wrong." ”

The young man trembled after hearing this, he must have been afraid of him, the brother-in-law of the county, and saw that the brother-in-law doubted his judgment, and said, "When I went back to the village to see that Qin Yuanwai was arrested, the guards in the village also fought with a group of people, and there were many casualties. ”

After hearing this, Yao Zhaonian did not doubt that there was him, how could there be other people in this county magistrate besides himself, thinking of what he had done in partnership with Qin Yuanwai a few years ago, he was sweating anxiously, and when he saw that Lord Wu was still in Cheng Si, he remembered to urge.

"My lord, I'm afraid this can't be fake, the dog officer must have eaten the leopard's gall, and asked the adults to send troops to make decisions for me, I miss my family, and I don't know if it's dead or alive."

"You're not stupid, didn't you understand what the official said just now? For the sake of safety, we still sent a fast horse to report to the prince, inform him of the incident, and give the prince a holy judgment. “

"My lord, why is this matter going to be related to the prince, this time, I'm afraid it will take a few days, and the daylily will be cold by then."

"How can I have such a stupid person as you under my command, you calm down first, the matter has come to this point, if Xiao Jin is bent on killing you, you can fly over now, it's the same."

Seeing Yao Zhaonian's anxious appearance, he continued to analyze, "This matter is unusual, I recalled the origin of this Xiao Jin, this person once wrote a strategy for withdrawing the feudal domain, although the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty and the emperor did not adopt it, but he still won the top prize in high school. After some analysis, I am afraid that there is a reason for the incident, and I am afraid that he was under the will of the emperor, and deliberately made this move, wanting to force the king of the west to rebel. ”

After listening to Wu Zhiping's analysis, Yao Zhaonian raised his head and said, "My lord, are you thinking too much, with the idea of being humble, it must be that Xiao Jin knows that he is an alternate magistrate, and wants to use my illegal evidence to pull me off the horse, so that he can find out the location of the county." ”

"It's possible if you say it's possible." was analyzed by Yao Zhaonian, and he was a little uncertain.

He was originally a general under Wu Sangui when he rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, and he fought with Wu Sangui for many years.

"In this way, we will act at two ends, I will lend you a thousand soldiers and horses, you will first recapture the county seat, and then send a fast horse to ask the prince, it will only take two or three days to come and go, which will not affect your rescue of people, but also let the prince know what happened."

Yao Zhaonian raised his head and said, "Thank you for saving the people." ”

Wu Zhiping looked at him and kowtowed again, stared at him gloomily and said, "If you can, no matter what the truth is, you will kill Xiao Jin after entering the city, and you can't stay if you know it, and afterwards it will be said that the traitors who oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty have sacked the county seat, and you have moved the rescue soldiers from me and recaptured them again. ”

After hearing this, Yao Zhaonian thought that this was a foolproof strategy. said, "It's still an adult's thoughtfulness, and the humble duty must be followed." ”

After speaking, he couldn't wait to lead his brother-in-law to gather the soldiers and horses of Shun'an Mansion, and went to Linxian non-stop.

Linxian County Ya, at this time, Qiu Tongmian was wearing a Jiupin official mansion, sitting in the position of the county master, patting the shocked wood in a decent manner, and shouted to the Qin Yuan outside the hall, "It doesn't matter if you don't admit your guilt, the official has all the evidence and physical evidence, and I called you to come to the hall, that is, for the sake of meaning, since you want to give the official a chance to experience, you will blame me for being unkind, where is Luo Da?" Pull down all kinds of torture waiting, remember, he died, the official wants to keep him, come to the autumn queen to behead. ”

After Qiu Tongmian saw that the people were taken down, he crossed his legs, rested on An Ji, and said, "This official is enjoyable, and I finally experienced it." ”

Ji Xiaolan stepped forward and said, "My lord, at present, there is still a shortage of manpower in the county office, there are more than 10,000 people in this county, and there are tens of thousands of people outside the city. ”

Qiu Tongmian nodded after hearing this, "This is a problem, a huge county town, no one can take care of it, in this way, you temporarily exercise the duties of the county prince, let Zhen Banqiao add a paragraph to the letter, about the arrangement of temporary officials, this official recommends you and Zheng Banqiao, a county Cheng, a main genealogy, if the emperor does not agree, then find a way." “

After hearing this, Ji Xiaolan shook her head and said, "This is not what the humble position means, the humble position thinks that this cannot be written into the letter, as a superior, seeing that the subordinates have not done anything yet, they come to ask for officials for their own people, thinking that it will cause the emperor's speculation, I'm afraid it's not appropriate." ”

Qiu Tongmian said, "What did Mr. Ji say?" In such a county, it is impossible to rely on me alone, besides, I am not familiar with this county seat, and I am not familiar with government affairs. ”

"My lord, have you forgotten that there is still a Hu Xiancheng in prison?"

Qiu Tongmian said, "You mean to let Hu Xiancheng come out to do things for us, I'm afraid I can't say it." ”

"As long as the adults agree, I'll take care of the rest."
