Chapter Thirty-Three: The Man Behind

Zheng Yanming's attitude was very tough. Even if he was facing the Marquis of Lingdong County, he did not mean to make concessions at all.

Others are afraid of him, the marquis, but he is not afraid. Even if the marquis has great doubts about this county examination, the result has been decided and no one can change it.

As for complaints, it is not that easy. Xie Cang and Lin Yuanzhi believed that Su Qi'an's ten strategies for governing the country were great talents, but he and Wei Zhentang both thought that it was the following crime, and it would be good if he had not punished him.

Whether it is the county magistrate or even the provincial governor, Zheng Yanming is right. He doesn't believe that Xie Cang really dares to make a big deal for a little scholar?

Even if it is a big deal, it is mostly a lawsuit, and the result cannot be changed.

Seeing Zheng Yanming so strong, Xie Cang looked at him deeply, and after a long time, he said coldly.

"Zheng Daru, if you insist on doing this, I will not say much. I just hope that you will not regret your decision at that time."

"Repent? Humph, is Xie Hou threatening me?" Zheng Yanming snorted coldly, quite disdainful.

He was a great scholar in the court, not to mention a marquis, even a county magistrate, the governor of the state had to give him some face.

Just kidding, if he is so easily threatened, he can retire directly, so as not to lose face of the Hanlin Academy.

The atmosphere in the room instantly became solemn, and it was obvious that the two of them were here.

Wei Zhentang, standing behind him, looked solemn, but he felt a little happy inside.

This is the result he wanted to see. Fortunately, he hired this in-service scholar in time. Otherwise, he would be unable to resist the fact that he would really face Xie Hou.

Xie Cang showed a regretful look and said coldly, "Okay, Zheng Daru is what you asked for. Today, I will let you see how important this Su Qi'an is."

After saying that, he thought Xie Cang would use force to force Zheng Yanming to surrender, but in fact, Fang Jingzhi, behind him, took a step forward.

He glanced at the three of them, waved his sleeves, and took out a pair of finely crafted scrolls.

When the scroll was opened, Fang Jingzhi showed a respectful look and then said loudly.

"The county magistrate has an order. The result of this county examination is that if Su Qi'an of Lingbei County has not been approved by the juren, the county is proud of his talents and considers it as appropriate. To add a juren's voting number, this order is issued. The invigilator below only needs to implement it without saying much. If there is any obstacle, he will be severely punished and not loaned."

The sound fell, and for a moment, the solemn atmosphere suddenly became silent. Zheng Yanming, who was sure to win just now, suddenly panicked.

His eyes flashed, staring at the scroll on Fang Jingzhi's hand, and hesitated, "This... this county magistrate is serious?"

Fang Jingzhi closed the scroll and said coldly, "Haha, the county magistrate is here. If the great scholar does not believe it, you can look at it."

Seeing Fang Jingzhi's confident look, Zheng Yanming felt a little cold.

As the name suggests, this county magistrate is an order issued by the prefect of a county.

After all, Daliang is governed by counties and counties. Although there is still jurisdiction over the state and the governor, the governor cannot cover everything within a state. If this is the case, you will not be exhausted.

Therefore, the position of the county magistrate is the backbone of the state magistrate. In order to better manage a county land, the county magistrate was specially granted an absolute privilege, that is, the county magistrate order.

Once the county magistrate is released, even the county marquis in the county and the great scholars of the court cannot interfere, otherwise there will be suspicion of interfering in the government affairs of a county.

Although the county magistrate has great power, it is definitely not something that the county magistrate can issue at will. Not only is there a limit on the number of times, a county magistrate has only five channels at most. More importantly, every county magistrate issued, and the governor of Huizhou was informed of the governor of Huizhou.

It is equivalent to saying that the issuance of the county magistrate is supported by the state governor.

This revealed signal is what makes Zheng Yanming feel uncomfortable.

A small scholar in Lingbei County not only had a county marquis behind him, but also alarmed the county magistrate and even the prefectural governor.

"Who is this Su Qi'an?"

Zheng Yanming's eyes flashed, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind. If he didn't figure this out, he wouldn't know how to die one day.

Although he was very unhappy with Zheng Yanming, Xie Cang and Fang Jingzhi, he was not targeted until he died. After all, he was a great scholar in the Hanlin Academy. He was really impatient and troublesome.

This time, I only want to ask Su Qi'an for justice and just teach this great scholar some lessons, and there is no need to press forward step by step.

At this time, Xie Cang said three words softly, "Chunfengyuan."

It was these three words that made Zheng Yanming's pupils shrink, and with his brain, he quickly figured it out.

Outsiders have always said that there is an official background behind Chunfengyuan, and Zheng Yanming also knew it, but what he did not expect was that this official family was actually the governor of Chuandu County.

"If this county magistrate participates, wouldn't it be the governor of the state..."

Thinking of this, Zheng Yanming didn't dare to continue thinking, and some sweat oozed out of his forehead.

This time he was able to become the invigilator for the county examination, so he naturally received an invitation from Wei Zhentang.

In the early years, he was not a great scholar and was a commoner, and he was taken care of by the Wei family. This time he came just to repay a favor.

I thought it was just a talented scholar, but with him a great scholar in the Hanlin Academy, it was not as simple as killing an ant.

Who would have thought that when this little Su Qian pulled out the raven, he would invisibly involve so many big people.

This was also how the county magistrates who were hundreds of miles away learned the news, and then they explained it immediately.

Su Qi'an wrote a poem by Lu Xiaowan at Chunfeng Courtyard, which made Lu Xiaowan's worth double. The Chuandu County General Court immediately took the person over.

As the county magistrate behind Chunfengyuan, the news is naturally clear, and I also know this talented man from Lingbei.

But, he had to intervene and target Su Qi'an, which led to his failure in the exam. Such a talented man who could increase the income of Chunfeng Academy was targeted in this way.

His doing this is tantamount to killing the wealth of a group of big men such as the county magistrate. Cutting off the wealth of people is equivalent to killing his parents.

The county magistrate issued the county magistrate order this time, and it was to pacify Su Qi'an for justice, and there was also a warning to him behind this.

If there is another next time, I am afraid that he, a working scholar, will have to retire immediately. Thinking of this, Zheng Yanming shaved a fierce look, Wei Zhentang, who was already as stupid as a wooden chicken.

Just a little bit, he was ruined by this idiot. If it weren't for the other people in the room, he would have to beat Wei Zhentang up to death,

Zheng Yanming thought everything clearly, immediately changed his face and said quickly.

"I am confused about this matter. Fortunately, the county magistrate is keen to recognize the beads. Xie Hou's reminder, otherwise I will definitely make a big mistake. All this matter will be handled by the county magistrate's order."

"If Xie Hou can see Su Qi'an in the future, he must be sorry for me like him."

Xie Cang looked at Zheng Yanming's changing face and felt quite disdainful in his heart, but he did not show it.

It would be very good to be able to make a professional scholar say such words, but Xie Cang still has to give him a step forward.

"I am also very pleased that the great scholars could have such an idea. It was a misunderstanding, but now it's enough. I'm just saying something heavy just now, and I hope the great scholar will take more responsibility."

"Hey, what Xie Hou said is a misunderstanding, it's fine if you say it."

The two people who were still tense just now had a change of attitude of one hundred degrees, and the people present showed a look.

I have been in the officialdom for so many years, and no one is an old fox, so how can there be eternal enemies, only eternal interests?

When the atmosphere in the room was almost as gentle as before, suddenly, a figure rushed in in a panic.

The person who came was not someone else, but Master Wang. Fang Jingzhi touched his eyebrows and said a little displeased.

"Person Wang, didn't see any important discussion here? Why are you so fussy? There's no morality at all?"

Wang Jiawei bowed his hands and apologized repeatedly, but the anxiety on his face did not decrease in a slight decrease, and he kept saying.

"I hope you all forgive me. The young man is also anxious. Mr. Su... Mr. Su is gone."

"What...what! Tell me clearly."

Before Fang Jingzhi could speak, Xie Cang made a sound, his voice was cold, and that feeling put a lot of pressure on Captain Wang.

He quickly explained, "According to the instructions of the county magistrate, we have been secretly protecting Mr. Su's safety, but after the results were released, Mr. Su should be in a bad mood. We couldn't get close to disturb us, so we watched Mr. Su return to the inn."

"But later, Mr. Su didn't come out all day long, which surprised us. We had a bad premonition. We broke in and opened the door. Su Qian had already left."

"Leaving? What can Mr. Su leave? Letters or something."

"No, Mr. Su left very quickly and it was very straightforward. It seemed that he had been away for half a day."

Xie Cang frowned, his eyes flashed, and he swept everyone in the room. His appearance was like a strong sense of coldness was released.

Everyone present felt Xie Cang's chill.

At this time, Wang Xiaowei thought of something and added, "Oh, by the way, I remembered it. It is said that before Mr. Su left, he told a thin monkey's golden oil that something seemed to have happened in his village, and he rushed back in a hurry."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone clearly felt that Xie Cang's coldness weakened and quickly dissipated invisible.

He seemed to know the cause and effect, snorted coldly, and then spoke, "Mr. Fang, I will send me the order, immediately transfer 300 soldiers and follow me to Dongshan Village."

"The official understands." Fang Jingzhi took the order and quickly walked out with Captain Wang.

As a great scholar, Zheng Yanming naturally saw something and spoke very appropriately at this time.

"Since Xie Hou has something to do, hurry up and do not have to spend time here. I stay here and return to Xie Hou. If there is anything you need my help, Xie Hou will speak."

"Old Zheng is intent," Benhou will not bother Mr. Lin. Mr. Zheng has rested, and this Hou has gone."

Xie Cang bowed his hand and turned around and left with Tong Zhan.

After Xie Cang left, the air pressure in the room was much smaller. He deserved to be a military leader. The murderous aura he just revealed made both great scholars unable to bear it.
