"Lord Prefectural Order?"

Several people were a little jealous of Zeng Kang'an's words, but they thought that Yuan Qing had arranged for them to watch here, so they had the confidence again, and said in a frivolous tone: "The county commander, the little ones are also ordered to guard here, if they leave easily, I am afraid they will be punished."

Seeing that they didn't know whether they were alive or dead, Wu Heyi was afraid that it would affect him, so he hurriedly stepped forward and reproached with disgust: "What are you talking about! Get out of here! There are no rules at all, go and get the punishment yourself!"

While speaking, Wu Heyi also looked at Ji Changye's expression cautiously, for fear that he would be angry. But the other party's expression was indifferent at this time, and he couldn't guess his thoughts, which was even more terrifying.

Although they didn't know Ji Changye, Wu Heyi was their top boss, and several people trembled and left after seeing him come forward.

After clearing the obstacles that stood in the way, Ji Changye wanted to go and ask the miners what had happened.

And Wu Heyi followed closely, wanting to hear their conversation, but was stopped by Zeng Kangan, who noticed that he was thinking carefully.

"Lord Prefect, the prince is doing business here, let's step down, don't bother the prince." How could Zeng Kangan let Wu Heyi interfere and sabotage Ji Changye's plan, after all, he could rely on Ji Changye's trust in front of him, so he was not afraid of offending Wu Heyi at this time.

Wu Heyi was naturally unconvinced, his contemptuous gaze fell on Zeng Kang'an, and he threatened in a scrupled whisper: "Zeng Kang'an, don't think that you can be powerful on my head now that you have the prince's support for you, what if the prince leaves the town in the future?" Do you still want to do this prefectural order?"

If these words had been put before, maybe Zeng Kangan would have weighed the pros and cons carefully, but now that he saw the shame of the miners being bullied, and Ji Changye intended to defend them, he was equivalent to being in the same camp as Ji Changye, and he would definitely be sheltered to some extent.

So he responded to Wu Heyi without any fear, "Lord Prefect, what the prince wants to do is what the prince thinks about himself, what are the intentions of those of us who are courtiers who do our best to assist? Not to mention whether my position as a county magistrate can be kept, if you offend the prince and make the prince unhappy, can you still sit in the position of this prefect?"

Wu Heyi was threatened several times with his official position today, and once he turned out to be Zeng Kangan, whose official position was not as good as his own, so he was angry, but thinking about what he said carefully, there was indeed some truth. In desperation, Wu Heyi had no choice but to retreat to the side under Zeng Kangan's gaze.

When the miners saw Ji Changye being surrounded by a county commander and a prefect in such a big battle, they knew that his official was bigger than the two. What they thought in their hearts was suddenly polarized, some thought that what Ji Changye could say could be regarded as helping them, while others were afraid that Ji Changye would also use his power to exploit them like Wu Heyi.

Knowing that the miners were wary of themselves, Ji Changye lowered his posture and said gently, "Don't worry, everyone, I'm here today to solve the problem. will not engage in favoritism, shield anyone, and will not let everyone be wronged or suffered. So can anyone tell me about what happened in the mine today, and what happened last time the mine collapsed?"

Everyone looked at each other, and their eyes shirked who would come out first.

At first, the leading miners had been beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and limped to Ji Changye, still looking like he was not afraid of heaven and earth, and said boldly: "We miners are ordinary people in the town, and we were coaxed here by them to eat and eat in our working wallets, and we did heavy work every day to starve and freeze, not to mention, and also deducted our wages. Some of us wanted justice, but before we could say it, they punched and kicked us back. When something happened to the mine, they were afraid that the rumors would spread, so they wouldn't let us go home and give us food and vegetables every day. That is, in those days, Song Niangzi came, and everyone had a good mouth. But they didn't let people come again, and when Xu Zhengde had an accident, they became even more serious, saying that as long as they don't have enough food and no strength, they won't talk nonsense, is this still a human thing!"

The more the miner spoke, the more angry he became, and his eyes glared at the people in the mine.

Ji Changye frowned when he heard this, he didn't expect that there would be so many problems in this mine. So he asked Zeng Kangan and Wu Heyi next to him: "Do you know about this matter?"

Because he was afraid of Wu Heyi before

, and this mine is owned by Wu Heyi, so Zeng Kangan usually doesn't ask, so he honestly shook his head and replied: "The little one doesn't know, it's a small dereliction of duty."

Ji Changye also knew his difficulties, and didn't care about anything, and then put his eyes on Wu Heyi, who was in a cold sweat.

The other party also shook his head in a panic, but it was useless.

After all, how could he not know?

"The little ones really don't know, the things in the mine are usually taken care of by Chen Yao and Yuan Qing under their hands, and the little ones are blind and trust them, and they haven't asked, I really don't know that they have such no conscience and do such a conscientious thing. You have to believe the little one, this thing really has nothing to do with the small one." Wu Heyi looked at Ji Changye, who had a gloomy face, and didn't care about anything, kneeling in front of everyone and begging for mercy.

Yuan Qing didn't expect Wu Heyi to confess himself so easily, but he had obviously reported these things to him, and they were also done at his behest. Just when he wanted to open his mouth to protect himself, he found the handle in Wu Heyi's hand again, and he stopped his mouth helplessly. ap.

"This mine is in your name. Won't your men report anything to you? Where do you start if you don't know? As a parent official, you don't do good things for the people, but you think of opportunism and mistreat laborers. It seems that you have been too derelict as a prefect, and I think you should go back and think about it."

Although Ji Changye was angry, he thought that he was now incognito in the town, and it was already a reckless step to meddle in this matter, so he did not have the right to publicly suspend Wu Heyi completely, so he could only let him go back to reflect first, and not let him interfere in trouble.

Wu Heyi wanted to quibble for himself, but was signaled by Zeng Kangan to let people take him into the carriage, and then Mao Sui recommended himself to ask Ji Changye for instructions, and he personally sent Wu Heyi back.

Ji Changye knew that he was of little use here, so he agreed to let him do it.

After getting into the carriage, Wu Heyi, who was embarrassed and angry, spread his resentment on Zeng Kangan's head: "You have the support of the prince now, you better not fall into my hands in the future." Anyway, I'm just going back to reflect now, and the prince has no right to suspend my post, so we'll see in the future!"

"Prefect, you'd better stop." Zeng Kangan was troubled by his deafening words, and said helplessly.

"You don't want to think about it, if you hadn't connived at the reckless behavior of your subordinates and offended the people, would you have come to this point? As officials, we should think about the people and sit in this position with the support of the people, but what about you? So you can't blame others. Now that the prince is meddling in this matter, he is very angry about what you have done, why don't you take advantage of the time to reflect and think about how to make up for it, let the prince open the net, and don't really suspend your post at that time."

And don't bother him, after all, no matter what they say, they are still related, Zeng Kangan is very likely to be implicated, he doesn't want to lose his job because of Wu Heyi's confusion.

Wu Heyi calmed down at this time, regretting in his heart what he just said, if he admitted his mistake at the moment and promised to solve it well, maybe he would have the opportunity to make up for his mistakes, and he would not fall into the precarious field now.

He originally looked down on Zeng Kangan, but he put down his posture at this night and asked him for help.

But Zeng Kangan shook his head apologetically: "It's not that I don't help you, I'm just a small county magistrate, and now that the prince is angry, my position is not guaranteed, how can I help you."

Wu Heyi's face suddenly showed a look of disappointment, but Zeng Kangan didn't want to go a dead end, and no one could say whether Wu Heyi would be reinstated in the future, and Ji Changye left. If you completely offend Wu Heyi, you won't have a good life.

So he pretended to be kind and said, "But don't worry, we are also relatives. My lord, I will definitely say good things for you."

"That's good, that's good." Wu Heyi was slightly relieved, and was sent back to the house like this.

Seeing that Wu Heyi, who was patronizing with a sluggish expression, was helped down by Zeng Kangan, worried that he would not come back for a long time, Fu He, who was waiting outside the house, hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and asked Zeng Kangan, "What's the matter? Why did you become like this?"

"Because of what happened in the mines

, the prince was angry. Therefore, the prefect was ordered by the prince to come back and think about it behind closed doors, so that he could think about his own mistakes." Zeng Kangan said it 1510.

Fu He suddenly didn't calm down, and when he wanted to ask more clearly, Zeng Kangan had already turned around and got into the carriage and left.

"Master, what's going on?" When Fu He knew that it was about the things in the mine, he had already guessed the ins and outs, and he was also worried about Wu Heyi's fate and the fate of the entire Wu family.

Wu Heyi was also worried at this time, and he couldn't say half a sentence absentmindedly, but at this time, Tao Ru still had to come to make trouble.

I saw her running in and rushing to Wu Heyi's feet and crying, "Lord Wang! How did you become like this?"

"It's getting more and more unruly, knowing that the master is still coming out to yell like this, what kind of intentions do you have?" Fu He scolded Tao Ru sharply, making her obedient immediately, and she didn't dare to cry anymore, so she could only secretly wipe her tears.

And Wu Heyi recovered his spirit after seeing her, and reached out to take her into his arms and comforted: "I know you're worried about me, I don't have anything, don't cry."

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Fu He knew that what he had just done was really redundant, and the two of them didn't take her seriously at all.

Fu He held back his anger, and finally planned to take care of the overall situation and solve Wu Heyi's imminent matter first, but before she could ask a few more words, Wu Heyi waved his sleeves impatiently and said, "What do you ask? You want to expose my scars, don't you? What can you do, a woman, if you tell you? Will you come to the prince and plead with me?"

"Master, this matter is your fault. But why don't you have any remorse now? You think it's love for you, I just want to help you but you misunderstand, there is no such reason in the world. You're right, I'm not going to plead with the prince. As a woman, I can't ask about this matter, so please take care of yourself and ask for more blessings." The disbelief in Fuhe's eyes turned to disappointment, and she left without looking back.

Wu Heyi only realized what he had just done at this time.

His position as the prefect was originally obtained by Fuhe's mother's family, and every time he encountered tricky things after becoming an official, Fuhe came up with ideas to get through it safely, so he couldn't solve it by himself at all.

But now that even Fuhe has been offended, what should he do?
