Chapter 125: The Imperial Court's Secret Order

"Where are you going to take these miners?" The officials guessed that he didn't have any good intentions, so they stood in front of the miners, thinking that they couldn't let Yuan Qing and them succeed.

Of course, he knew that the person Yuan Qing was backed by the prefect Wu Heyi, and he would definitely not be able to resist it just by relying on himself to stop him here, so he took advantage of Yuan Qing's inattention and hurriedly signaled to the inconspicuous person under his hand, asking him to hurry back and find Zeng Kang'an.

Yuan Qing was very dissatisfied that he would stop him, and looked down on the officials in his heart, thinking that he was just a lackey in the government, so he replied disdainfully: "We are here on the orders of the prefect, and you are here to obstruct it in every possible way, could it be that you want to go against the prefect?" It seems that the people under the prefectural commander are really bloody."

"What are you talking about? You can't take these miners away today, no matter how you say that this kind of thing happened, it is the rule that the government will take the lead in solving it. The prefect is really sympathetic to the people's feelings and meddles in such a trivial matter." Could it be that he has a weak heart, why did this happen?

Although the officials didn't want to offend Yuan Qing and Wu Heyi behind him openly, they were not soft persimmons at the mercy of others, so they naturally wanted to refute it, and every sentence poked Yuan Qing's heart.

I only saw that his face was pale because of anger, and he glared at the officials angrily, but so many years of behavior made him not so impulsive, so he glanced at the people under his hands, ignored the officials and other soldiers, and let them rush over and drive the miners into the ox carts, and forcibly took them away.

"Stop! Stop it! The county magistrate has an order, and no one can leave here today, otherwise don't blame us for being unsympathetic." Seeing that Yuan Qing wanted to break the jar, the official simply stopped showing mercy, raised the spear in his hand and swung it at those people, intimidating them to stop their movements and retreat.

Yuan Qing's face changed, "It seems that the county magistrate wants to go against the prefect."

In this way, the two sides reached the point of tension.

On the other side, Zeng Kangan was anxiously waiting for news at this time, but there was no news from the officials, so he guessed that something must have happened, so he wanted to send someone to take a look, but the soldiers sent back by the officials ran in panting at this time.

Zeng Kangan grabbed him and asked, "How is it? Has the matter been settled?" He prayed that it was best to solve it, otherwise not only the people, but even Wu Heyi's side he would not be able to explain.

The soldier told Zeng Kangan everything that happened in the mine, and after knowing that Wu Heyi had sent people to go and had a conflict with his subordinates, Zeng Kangan showed remorse and said, "I didn't send him if I knew it, so what's the good now." After all, the other party is Wu Heyi, and it is not good to offend anyone, so you have to offend him.

So Zeng Kangan, who was originally afraid of this matter, was even more restless and anxious at this time. He didn't dare to stop thinking of ideas, but fortunately, he found a way.

"Go, go. Go to Song Niangzi's house and invite that Ji Gongzi to go to the mine, and you will tell you the ins and outs of the matter, and if that Gongzi hears it, he will definitely have a way." Zeng Kangan, who knew that Ji Changye was also concerned about this matter, had no choice but to seek his help.

After all, he is a prince and has monstrous power, and this kind of trivial matter can definitely be solved. And the person Wu Heyi is afraid of is him, if he does things in the name of the prince, Wu Heyi will not dare to retaliate back. In this way, he can not only protect those miners, but also protect himself, which is like killing two birds with one stone, Zeng Kangan can't help but sigh that he is too smart.

After sending someone to invite Ji Changye, Zeng Kangan did not dare to delay, and he also rushed to the mine, wanting to grasp the initiative in this matter before Wu Heyi, otherwise it would be easy to cause unnecessary trouble.

Fortunately, when he came, there was no figure of Wu Heyi here, which suddenly made him relax and relieved.

Seeing that his own people and Yuan Qing were entangled, although Zeng Kangan was a little scared, he still pretended to be the majesty of the county order to stop him and said, "Stop me!" What a system in broad daylight!"

Hearing Zeng Kangan's voice, the two groups of people who were scuffling together hurriedly separated after a moment of pause. When the official was still separated, he kicked Yuan Qing's men, but the other party wanted to fight back but was stopped by Yuan Qing.

"Your Excellency!" The officials knelt on the ground and saluted.

Yuan Qing looked at Zeng Kang'an with a sluggish attitude, and then he saluted unhurriedly and said, "Lord County Commander, you can count it as coming. I don't know if it's your order, but this brother can't help but stop us from taking the miners away. The little ones are all obedient to the prefect, and if the orders given cannot be completed, we will be the ones who will be embarrassed. So, this brother is a little rude."

In a few words, without mentioning their mistakes, the officials were so plainly buttoned up, it was difficult to hide their anger in their hearts, and they wanted to open their mouths to refute, but they were stopped by Zeng Kangan with a look.

So he had to hold back his anger and retreat silently.

"Prefect? This kind of thing seems to be outside the jurisdiction of the prefect. Although it is a mine in the name of the prefect, the rules still have to be followed. After all, the people in the town are watching, even the prefect can't do whatever he wants, right?"

Although Zeng Kangan was jealous of Wu Heyi, but seeing his own people being bullied like this, Wu Heyi didn't take his county order seriously, and he wouldn't tolerate it, so he restrained his anger and fought back.

Yuan Qing frowned slightly, but still didn't take them in his eyes.

"But Lord Prefectural, no matter what. It seems that the prefect's order is not disobeyed by anyone in this town, right?" Who made him the biggest official? Today's Yuan Qing is no longer merciless, and openly shouts.

Zeng Kangan's face was already extremely difficult to see, but he was helpless.

At the same time, because this matter was urgent, the soldiers sent quickly came to Song Qian's mansion and found Ji Changye.

Ji Changye, who knew about this, was not surprised, because it was all in his expectation, after all, he knew what Song Qian wanted to do before.

Ji Changye knew that he still had to go and see this kind of thing, so he followed the soldiers to the mine quickly, and coincidentally, they arrived almost at the same time as Wu Heyi.

Originally, Wu Heyi, who didn't take himself seriously because Zeng Kangan was meddling in this matter, got out of the carriage aggressively, but when he saw Ji Changye here, he instantly smiled and saluted Ji Changye respectfully: "See Lord Wang, why did you come here?" It's smoky here, and it hurts so much."

"If this king doesn't come, I'm afraid the mine and the town will be destroyed by you today, right?" Ji Changye was very angry at what he had done, and looked at him indifferently with anger.

Wu and Yidun felt a chill down their spines, but they didn't dare to refute, so they could only timidly follow behind Ji Changye and come to the crowd that was still deadlocked.

Except for Zeng Kang'an, everyone was surprised by the unfamiliar faces that appeared here, because they had never seen Ji Changye before, but seeing Zeng Kang'an and Wu Heyi's respectful attitude towards him, they guessed that Ji Changye's identity was not ordinary, so they didn't dare to make another mistake.

The scene rarely returned to calm, and there was no longer tension.

Wu Heyi was afraid that Ji Changye would know what was going on and blame him, so he whispered to Ji Changye to dissuade him: "Lord Wang, this kind of small matter still bothers you, it is the fault of your subordinates, you can rest assured that this matter will definitely be solved by your subordinates." Your status is noble, and it is really detrimental to your status in a place like this."

Seeing that he wanted to persuade himself to go back, Ji Changye was even more convinced that there was something wrong with this, and Wu Heyi would definitely not be able to get rid of it.

"Isn't this kind of thing a trivial matter? The prefect told me that what is a big deal, and that it has to be a big deal to cause people to die in the mines. Then why don't you think about it, when this kind of thing really happens, will your black gauze hat still be saved?"

Ji Changye's words made Wu Heyi stiffen in place, and his heart was a little bad, so he had no choice but to use a killer weapon and say, "Lord Wang, forgive your subordinates for speaking bluntly. Your status is noble, and you are the one who speaks in the imperial capital. However, the laws and regulations of the DPRK and China stipulate that your status cannot overstep the jurisdiction of local affairs, and you can't be unruly as a prince. So, it's better for you not to ask about this matter, and leave it to your subordinates with confidence, and you can avoid some unnecessary trouble, right?"

Is this using the court to pressure him? Ji Changye's cold eyes looked at You

Wu Heyi, who was a little proud, was not threatened by his words in the slightest.

"You're right, according to the rules, I really don't have the right to meddle in local affairs."

Wu Heyi thought that Ji Changye had compromised, and looked at Zeng Kangan with provocative eyes, as if he was showing off, even if he found Ji Changye as a helper, he would not be able to fight himself.

Zeng Kangan panicked at this night, but he was still rational to let the officials stay away from here first, so as not to know Ji Changye's identity.

"Lord Wang, but these miners ......" Zeng Kangan didn't want this matter to go as Wu Heyi wished, let him act recklessly, and then let the miners be harmed, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ji Changye raising his hand.

"But the prefect must have forgotten one thing, if the court is willing to give this king approval, this king still has the right to take care of this little matter." Ji Changye had already guessed that Wu Heyi would use this matter to suppress himself, so he had prepared before.

Wu Heyi was stunned for no reason when he heard his words, and then saw Ji Changye take out a secret order.

The above is a secret order approved by the central government of the imperial court, allowing Ji Changye to investigate the matter of the miners in the mine in Sulou Town.

Zeng Kang'an, who saw the secret order, let go of his hanging heart, and he knew that Ji Changye would not sit idly by and ignore this matter.

At this time, Wu Heyi had no way to stop it even if he wanted to.

The secret order flashed in front of Wu Heyi, and then it was put away by Ji Changye.

At this time, Ji Changye smiled and asked, "May I ask the prefect, does this king have the right to ask the ins and outs of this matter?"

At this time, Wu Heyi was already very at a loss, he didn't expect that Ji Changye would really go to the court to find a secret order to get involved in this matter, no matter what he said, it would be useless.

Therefore, today's affairs Ji Changye must be taken care of.

"Lord Wang, please come here." Zeng Kang'an, who had the upper hand, smiled happily, and took Ji Changye to the miners who were guarded by Yuan Qing's men not far away.

They didn't know what was going on, and because they didn't know them, they drove them away viciously, saying, "What are you doing here? Who are you? Get out of here! Get out of here!"

"Bold! This is ......" Zeng Kangan swallowed back the words that Ji Changye was the identity of the prince in time, and changed the words and said, "I am the county order!" Who dare you talk to me like that?"
