Sunrise and sunset are another day.
Jiujiang Mansion is quiet and leisurely in the early morning.
This is a beautiful city, but sometimes, the more beautiful things are, the more likely they are to attract bees and butterflies... No, it should be said that the more beautiful things are, the more likely they are to rot and get insects.
Li Jinglong walked out of the back hall of the magistrate's office. He had just shaken the stone lock weighing more than 40 kilograms more than a hundred times, and all the muscles and bones in his body stretched.
Although he is still strong, he is always aware of the saying that time is not forgiving. The passage of power contained in his body can be felt.
But he also believes that while time has taken something away from him, it has also compensated him for something more.
Just like... vision, structure, and... scheming!
~~
"Where is the Emperor?"
Li Jinglong came out of the back hall of the magistrate's office and said to the guard on duty.
The guard bowed and said, "Go back to the Lord, before dawn, the Emperor took Boss Deng and Commander He to Lushan Mountain to race horses!"
"Oh!" Li Jinglong nodded lightly and asked again, "Has the envoy from the Chief Secretary of Jiangxi arrived?"
Suddenly, the guard laughed evilly and said in a low voice, "My lord, that bird-in-chief is also unlucky. He came less than half an hour after the emperor's front feet!" He said with another evil smile, "Now,
He's in the front yard, like an ant on a hot pot."
"Haha!" Li Jinglong laughed a few times, "I'll go meet him!"
"Please!"
Li Jinglong strode away with a smile on his face.
But after the guard watched him walk away, he shook his head slightly. Then, he asked someone to keep an eye on him, hurried to the other side of the courtyard, and whispered through the pager, "My Prince Consort...!"
~~
"What can we do about this? What can we do about this?"
In the front hall of the Jiujiang Prefectural Government Office, Zhang Xinjia, the Chief Secretary of Jiangxi Province, was sweating profusely and pacing back and forth on the ground. Half of the green bricks on the ground seemed to have been broken by his steps.
"What should we do? What should we do?" He seemed confused, clapping his hands and stamping his feet, his face full of annoyance.
At this moment, his body stiffened violently.
Then, he walked over without hesitation and knelt down with a bang, "Master, please save me!"
Li Jinglong's legs were hugged, and he could clearly see Zhang Xinjia's nose and tears touching the corner of his clothes, but he remained silent.
"Master, please save me!" Zhang Xinjia burst into tears.
Li Jinglong looked back slightly, and the soldiers on duty outside walked away tacitly, taking along with them all the entourage brought by Zhang Buzheng.
"Master..."
"Shut up!" Li Jinglong suddenly growled, then kicked the other person away and said ferociously, "Did I tell you, don't let me wipe your ass? Ah?"
"My lord, I have been working in this humble position for so many years without any trouble..."
"This is no longer a trouble for you, but a life-threatening situation!" Li Jinglong said coldly, "I told you a long time ago and asked you to pay attention, why didn't you listen?"
"Who would have imagined it?" Zhang Xinjia said aggrievedly, "The emperor actually entered Jiujiang City?"
"You're lucky enough to kill someone!" Li Jinglong said angrily, "You've lived so long in vain, don't you understand this?" After saying that, he looked outside again, gritted his teeth and whispered, "At this time, you still let me come here?
Save you, huh! You dare to think about it!"
"My lord, my lord!" Zhang Xinjia hugged Li Jinglong's thigh again and begged, "My humble position today is all because of your promotion... If you don't pull me out of my humble job this time, my humble job...
.That’s the end of my humble job!”
They both knew the seriousness of the matter.
In fact, the tax administrator who made things difficult for the emperor was secondary. It was the official school, the Huimin Pharmacy, the almshouse and other matters that were even more difficult to put an end to.
Things in the world are like cockroaches. When you find one, there is actually a nest. When you find a nest, you are already surrounded by cockroaches.
Nothing is unique. As a big city in Jiangxi, Jiujiang is like this. What about other cities? Will Nanchang be fine?
Not only is it not good, it could be even worse, right?
"Master! Master!" Zhang Xinjia cried again, "In the past few years, whenever you have been asked to do something, you have never dared to disobey your humble duty. This time..."
"Are you threatening me?" Li Jinglong's eyes twitched.
"I don't dare in my humble position!" Zhang Xinjia said hurriedly, "How dare I have such thoughts in my humble position..."
Li Jinglong stared at him for a long time, until he saw the other person's hair standing on end, and then slowly said, "What I can do is to try my best to prevent the emperor from entering Nanchang City."
Zhang Xinjia was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed, "My parents are the ones who gave birth to me, and you are the one who remade me!"
"Hey!" Li Jinglong suddenly sighed, with a bit of self-mockery, "I didn't expect that your place would be like this!"
As he said that, he looked at Zhang Xinjia coldly, "Whether the Emperor is close to Nanchang City or not, I can only do my best!"
"I humbly serve on behalf of the 328 officials in Nanchang. Thank you for your great kindness, Lord!" Zhang Xinjia cried in fear, "If...if the emperor goes to Nanchang, I'm afraid our heads will also be lost."
Hang it on the city gate..."
"You deserve it!" Li Jinglong waved his hands in disgust, "If you try to get rich for personal gain in other places, you still have the ability! In the Ming Dynasty, there are so many dirty jobs... Take Nanchang, for example, to control floods.
Building city defenses and dredging rivers, which one is not making money every day?"
"But you are actually fishing in places like the Sanatorium, Luzeyuan, and Huimin Pharmacy? Are you holding a shit stick in your mouth and eating it as mahua?"
"My lord..." Zhang Xinjia couldn't help crying.
"You can't be greedy enough. You deserve your misfortune!" Li Jinglong cursed again, "I'm not helping you because you deserve my help..."
Speaking of this, Li Jinglong gritted his teeth again, "You idiot officials, no matter how many times I kill you, I won't take pity on you!"
"Then you are...?" Zhang Xinjia was puzzled.
"I don't want the emperor to be so angry!" Li Jinglong sighed, then pointed at Zhang Xinjia, "You don't regret dying! How old is the emperor? Ah... let me ask you, how old is the emperor?"
"The Emperor is in the best time of his life, but do you know? If you take off your hat, the Emperor's temples are full of fucking white hair!"
"It's all to make you angry!"
Li Jinglong said with gritted teeth and a murderous look on his face.

Outside the house, a guard heard the conversation inside and walked away expressionlessly.
In the room, Li Jinglong opened his mouth and asked again, "Do you know what the top priority is now?"
"Please make it clear, sir." Zhang Xinjia said hurriedly.
"He Guangyi has asked people to start a thorough investigation of the fraud in Jiujiang City!" Li Jinglong waved to the other party to come closer, "Your top priority now is to kill people!"
"I understand!" Zhang Xinjia said with determination on his face, "I have transferred executioners from Nanchang!" As he said that, he suddenly hesitated and said, "But I am afraid..."
"You'd better have nothing to do with that Chen Jingzhi! It's best not to!" Li Jinglong looked at him solemnly, "You'd better not think about who you're covering up for now!"
"I don't dare to be humble!"
"Now, just do business!" Li Jinglong said sternly, "Then, after the emperor takes off, you will immediately give a memorial to the capital..."
"Excuse me?" Zhang Xinjia asked.
Li Jinglong sneered, "Please resign!"
"Ah?" Zhang Xinjia was suddenly startled.
"Do you want the official position or the head?" Li Jinglong sneered again, "Besides, the emperor has asked Minister Wang of Nanshufang to take charge of the case, and also used the Jin Yiwei to conduct a thorough investigation. At this time, you are still clinging to the official position.
, isn’t it stupid?”
