The governor of Yongzhou was named Song. Although he was not from a wealthy family, he was from a scholarly family.
The governor of Yongzhou struggled step by step in the officialdom, and finally sat on the high position of the governor of Yongzhou. The sadness in it cannot be explained to outsiders.
Xu Sima, who was in the government office on the side, happened to walk out of it. After seeing the governor, he walked forward and cupped his hands and said, "Sir, are you going out?"
The governor nodded and said: "Well, since the new law has been promulgated, I will go to see how it is implemented under the rule. Your Majesty is still in Yongzhou at the moment. We cannot let Yongzhou get into trouble because of a new law. By the way, I will also go to see how the surrounding officials are doing.
How familiar are you with the new law? Is there any suspicion of bending the law for personal gain?"
When Xu Sima heard this, he suddenly thought about it and said: "It just so happens that the official's affairs have been handled perfectly. Why don't you go and take a look with your lord?"
After hearing this, the governor also nodded and said: "Yeah, that's fine, but where should we go to this first place? Does Mr. Xu have any ideas?"
Xu Sima blurted out: "The state government office is closest to the Yong'an County government office. Why don't you go to Yong'an County and have a look first? Some time ago, the prince personally dismissed the Yong'an County lieutenant and severely punished him. Maybe there is more than one like Yong'an County lieutenant hiding in the Yong'an County government office.
It's like a normal black sheep. If you find someone who is bending the law for personal gain, you can beat him in time to scare Xiaoxiao."
When the governor heard Xu Sima's words, he nodded and said, "Then let's go to Yong'an County Yamen first."
After hearing this, Xu Sima was overjoyed, stretched out his hand and said, "Sir, please!"
Of course Xu Sima said this on purpose, in order to embarrass the Yong'an County Magistrate surnamed Su.
Usually, even the addition of a few laws can sometimes cause uproar in the local area, let alone the direct addition of one this time.
However, in Yong'an County, the county captain was dismissed and severely punished. At this time, Yong'an County had not yet had a new county captain take office. In other words, at this time, the Yong'an County Magistrate still held the position of Yong'an County Lieutenant.
Without someone to share the worries of the Yong'an County magistrate, the situation in Yong'an County will definitely be worse than that of other local county governments. If such scenes catch the eyes of the governor, even if the governor doesn't say anything on the surface, he will feel guilty in his heart.
He will definitely feel disgusted with the Yong'an County Magistrate. After all, the prince is in Yongzhou City, and the governor cannot tolerate any chaos!
If the governor hates Yong'an County Magistrate in his heart, how can someone named Su still have a foothold in Yongzhou City?!
After all, you have offended the governor and the governor himself at the same time. Do you still want to have a better life in Yongzhou City?
wishful thinking!
Thinking like this, a sneer even appeared on Xu Sima's face. If you dare to refute his Xu family's face, you will have to pay a price!

Yong'an County
"Mr. Su is really a good official who makes decisions for the people. When my work was arbitrarily published by nearby bookstores, there was nothing I could do about it. At that time, they suffered from the lack of corresponding legal sanctions and they were able to get away with it. Now, those bookstores have been punished.
I was severely punished and even sentenced them to pay me a total of nearly a thousand taels of silver!"
"Brother Li's book is really very popular. It only costs a few hundred taels. I'm ashamed of it. But thanks to Mr. Su, if it hadn't been for Mr. Su, I'm afraid these hundreds of taels would have been a delusion."
"That's so true! It's so lucky to be able to live and write under Mr. Su's rule!"
…
…
Words like this are heard all the time, but originally they were not like this. After all, although there are many scholars who are literate in Yong'an County, they have not yet reached the point where they are everywhere in the streets.
As for why this happened, it was because those who had been poor for a long time and wrote books and essays had received the compensation they had received for many years, and they all went to the streets and went to restaurants to celebrate.
Some literati even wrote articles for Magistrate Su to praise his virtues because of this incident.
In this way, all the Governor saw along the way were people applauding Magistrate Su.
The governor was more and more pleased as he saw that Yong'an County Yamen was not only close to the state government, but also close to Prince Xian's Mansion.
If this scene in Yong'an County reaches the ears of the prince, the prince will definitely be extremely happy. Yong'an County is the territory under the rule of his governor, so this can be regarded as a merit of his governance!
He knew that Lao Su was usually cautious and clever, but when he saw that he was indeed so, he was not disappointed, and his efforts to cultivate him were not wasted.
well done!
On the other side, Xu Sima's face became increasingly gloomy. This was different from what he had imagined!
Without the county captain, the burden on the Yong'an County Magistrate would be twice as heavy. How could it be possible to manage Yong'an County so peacefully and make it stable in the future?!
This is impossible! It makes no sense!
He has read the detailed information of Su County Magistrate. Han Chuang studied hard for ten years and took the exam twice before he was admitted to the Jinshi. His ranking above the gold list can only be in the middle. Logically speaking, his ability should not be so outstanding!
After Magistrate Su finished handling the last case, he handed a cup of tea to Xu Qing next to him: "You have worked hard these days."
Xu Qing took the tea, took a sip to moisten his throat, then shook his head and said, "It's what a family should do."
Xu Qing's answer satisfied Magistrate Desu. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a government official coming from outside to report that the governor and Sima had come to the Yong'an County government office.
Magistrate Su was shocked after hearing the report. Why is the governor here? And Xu Sima is also with him? Could he be here to cause trouble?
Although he thought so, Magistrate Su still quickly ordered: "Please come quickly."
There is no way to find trouble. If you go out, you may not be caught. If you don't go out, you will definitely be caught.
Moreover, the governor has never been suspected of colluding with others, so he probably wouldn't be bribed by Xu Sima.
After giving instructions to the officials, Magistrate Su stood up and looked at Xu Qing and said: "The governor is here, and I will go with my father to greet him."
County government courtyard
Magistrate Su came out of the court and looked at the governor, cupping his hands and saying: "Xiaguan Yong'an County Magistrate Su Jiyuan has met the governor, met... Lord Sima."
Magistrate Su County had to salute, and Xu Qing naturally wanted to salute as well, so he bowed down as well.
The governor smiled and stretched out his hand to help Magistrate Su up: "Master Su, you're welcome."
When County Magistrate Su heard this, he felt something was wrong. It seemed that the other party was in a good mood and did not look like he was looking for trouble.
Xu Sima on the side said calmly: "Without the county captain, Yong'an County seems to be more stable than before. It seems that Mr. Su is more suitable for the position of county captain than the county magistrate."
Although Su County Magistrate heard the hidden meaning of Xu Sima's words, he still said in a humble manner: "As an official of the imperial court, I should share my worries with my superior."
But the governor smiled and said: "What are you talking about? If Mr. Su is such a talented person and returns to become a county captain, wouldn't it be unworthy of his talents? I have seen it along the way. The people live and work in peace and contentment under Mr. Su's rule. Mr. Su's name
It is also widely praised, making everyone feel ashamed!"
