People's premonitions are sometimes difficult to explain, but they are accurate. When Wang Qinruo was in a state of confusion and worried, a group of uninvited guests came to visit him in the dark of the night. Without waiting for notification, they broke into his study rudely.
The leader is Ma Qing, the magistrate of Luoshan County. He is quite formally dressed in a decent light green official robe, which is somewhat conspicuous under the dim light. Of course, what Wang Qinruo is more concerned about is the officers who follow Ma Qing.
Judging from the pattern of his clothing, he is a county government official.
As the most powerful driver of local governance, the Han Dynasty's grassroots service system was increasingly refined and perfected. It could basically be summarized as six major service functions: Yamen, arrests, patrols, taxes, prisons, and post offices. Yamen was the first of the six.
The yamen who followed Ma Qing to visit Wang Qinruo's house at night were a group of people directly under the county magistrate's confidants. At this time, they occupied the inside and outside of the study, all with serious expressions. The four people in the room stared at Wang Qinruo warily, showing no sign of their usual appearance.
Here is my respect for the Registrar.
Seeing this, Wang Qinruo frowned slightly, looked at Ma Qing, but maintained basic respect, stood up and saluted, "I have met the county magistrate!"
"Yeah!" Ma Qing responded coldly with an indifferent expression.
Seeing his reaction, Wang Qinruo's face flashed with a hint of gloom, but he forced himself to calm down, raised his hands and asked: "Why do you ask the county magistrate to personally bring people to visit all night long? I'm afraid I can't bear such a battle!"
Ma Qing glanced at Wang Qinruo, but did not say anything. Instead, he went to his desk, picked up the circular that Wang Qinruo was still studying, looked at it, and then sighed softly: "This prefectural government and this instruction are really worth it."
It seems a little late!”
Ma Qing is about forty-five years old. He is also elegant and looks very reserved. He was born as a Jinshi in the 16th year of Kaibao, ranking second and thirty-third. He studied, served as an official, took examinations, Jinshi, observed government, and was awarded officials.
It took more than twenty years to become a magistrate of Luoshan County.
Ma Qing's career journey is very representative. Although it takes a long time, it is the most common choice for poor people in the world. This is a competitive choice with no retreat. For ordinary scholars,
It is said that we must fight for the limited resources leaked from the hands of the upper class.
For someone like County Magistrate Ma Qing, who could smoothly pursue this official career, climb to the position of County Magistrate, and control the administrative power of a county, this is already something that most scholars in the world can only dream of.
Similarly, Wang Qinruo is not willing to leave a person with a resume like Ma Qing's. He really dislikes it because it is too slow and too slow, and the upper limit is too "low." If someone like Ma Qing had not had any adventures, he might have stayed in the state or county for the rest of his life.
Maybe in a few years, he can be transferred to the middle or upper counties to serve. When he is 50 or 60 years old, whether he can become a governor is still a question. That also requires opportunities, not just hard work and qualifications.
Wang Qinruo has great ambitions and a lot of ambitions for his official career. He has also worked hard for many years and has a clear understanding of his status and future prospects. It is for this reason that he has just thought about taking risks and even taking risks.
Dementia stuff.
Ma Qing took office in Luoshan County not too short ago. It lasted nearly three years, almost at the same time that Wang Qinruo was promoted to the position of chief registrar. The county magistrate and the chief registrar are the right-hand men of the magistrate and magistrate in governing the county, and Wang Qinruo's arm,
In Ma Qing's view, although he has the ability, he is too thoughtful and doesn't like him very much.
However, under Ma Qing's mediocre appearance, he also had a deep heart. Although his displeasure with Wang Qinruo, a rebellious subordinate, continued to accumulate, he always buried it deep in his heart and never revealed it.
Until now, or today
Wang Qinruo's hesitant mood at this moment could be felt by Ma Qing even through a layer of clothes and chest, and his accelerated heartbeat seemed to be beating in his ears.
Looking at Wang Qinruo with a scrutinizing gaze, Ma Qing sneered and said: "Wang Qinruo, Mr. Wang! You are so courageous to do such a big thing. This county has always known that you are unruly, but I didn't know that you are so arrogant."
The situation!"
This was probably the most serious and emotionally revealing thing Ma Qing had ever said to Wang Qinruo in the past three years. After hearing what he said, Wang Qinruo's face turned completely gloomy, but he still maintained his "restraint" and responded calmly: "
What the county magistrate said is profound and profound, so please forgive me for being stupid and not fully understanding!"
"Haha!" Ma Qing couldn't help but laugh, stroking his beard and said: "If your king is stupid, then there will be no smart people in the entire Luoshan County!"
After saying that, Ma Qing's expression returned to seriousness again, he put down the bulletin in his hand, and said coldly to Wang Qinruo: "You have been in a state of confusion these days. You must have a guilty conscience!"
Wang Qinruo's frown deepened, his head was slightly buried, and a small amount of sweat broke out in his clenched palms, but he did not answer the words. With his intelligence, he certainly knew why Ma Qing, the county magistrate, led people to invade in this way.
Come inside.
Seeing that he remained silent, Ma Qing became furious, slapped the desk hard, and shouted: "Bold Wang Qinruo, do you know your guilt!"
Facing Ma Qing's burning eyes, Wang Qinruo said solemnly: "When I act as a low-ranking official, my superiors are worthy of heaven and my subordinates are worthy of my heart. What crime is there?"
Observing Wang Qinruo's performance, Ma Qing had no intention of getting entangled with him. He just leaned forward slightly and said softly: "You are so courageous that even Luoshan and Shenzhou cannot tolerate it. No matter what intentions you have, you have already committed a crime.
Outrage!
You want to die, so let's do it. Today, you are so angry that you have hurt your colleagues and your relatives. I don't know if you will regret it when disaster strikes!"
"Take him away and hand him over to the superior officer!" After saying that, Ma Qing said no more words and directly ordered from the leader of the team.
"yes…"
Wang Qinruo, on the other hand, was a little dazed by Ma Qing's words. His expression changed a little, but he gradually calmed down and seemed to have returned to his usual calmness. However, he looked at Ma Qing deeply, and his eyes seemed to say: Ma County.
Dear, Mr. Wang underestimated you...
To be able to make Ma Qing, the head of the county, personally go out to pick up people, there is obviously strong pressure from above. The minister of Wude Division is also waiting outside the door. When someone greets him, he takes the person away immediately.
Already.
It is not too difficult for Wude Division to find Wang Qinruo. There are so many clues after all. By uncovering Wang Qinruo, Wude Division can bring the investigation to an end and can barely make a deal.
But for Luoshan County, and even Shenzhou as a whole, things are far from over, and the next development is completely out of their control. The futures of all officials from Liu Jiqian on down in the autonomous prefecture will face a crisis.
Judgment, this matter, has reached heaven.
And all this happened because of a little Wang Qinruo. You can imagine how the magistrate of Luoshan felt at this time. The level of complexity is probably no less than that of Wang Qinruo before.
Under the long street in the dark night, watching the people of Wu Desi escorting Wang Qinruo away, his figure gradually disappeared from sight, but Ma Qing's face was as dark as water.
This is simply an unforeseen disaster. Ma Qing is an official and is well versed in the golden mean. He has always been calm, but in this matter, his defenses were somewhat broken. Originally, he had already worked well, and with the help of the old emperor's presence in Taikang Palace, As one of the heroes who completed the construction of the big project, he was successfully promoted to the state and served as Sima.
However, once the trespassing incident occurs, it is not certain whether he can keep his current official position, let alone promotion, and it is not impossible that he will die and his family will be destroyed. As one of the three county officials in Shenzhou, Ma Qing knows it too well. The inside story of the construction of Taikang Palace has been revealed. If we want to get to the bottom of it and deal with it in accordance with national laws, half of the officials in Shenzhou will lose their heads...
Wang Qinruo, why didn't you discover this disaster earlier? Ma Qing screamed in her heart.
"County Honor..."
Also going to Wang's residence was the Magistrate of Luoshan County. He firmly stood on the side of the magistrate. Although his abilities were mediocre, he had always been the second-largest figure in Luoshan County.
Sensing his concern, Ma Qing pondered for a while and then ordered: "This county is going to Xinyang. You stay behind at the county office. Remember, keep an eye on everyone below!"
"yes!"
When Ma Qing went to Xinyang, the first thing he had to do was to apologize to Liu Jiqian. After all, Wang Qinruo was an official under him. If something like this happened, he, the county magistrate, was the first to bear the brunt of the blame.
Of course, what is more important is to find a way to pass the test smoothly. Wang Qinruo may be just an accident, but people like them cannot sit still and wait for death...
