Chapter 76 I only obey the prefect

Guo Qian's mansion.

At this time, the news of Ding Laosi's arrest had already spread. The same situation happened in various counties and counties. The bullies who were usually protected by the government were suddenly surrounded and suppressed by a large number of soldiers.

It's hard for Guo Qian not to know.

In the hall, he was pacing back and forth anxiously, while his wife wiped her tears with a handkerchief and kept sobbing: "It's so good, how could that kid Xiaosi be arrested by the officers and soldiers? Who is so bold?"

ah……"

She has been nagging for a long time. Guo Qian was already very anxious. When he heard this, he became even more irritable. He couldn't help but scolded: "Are you annoying? You keep nagging!"

"He is my nephew and your nephew, so why don't you just ignore him?" his wife continued.

"Oh, you don't understand!" Guo Qian became increasingly irritated and said, "I haven't received any news at all about this arrest. It's not the government, but the army. Do you understand the army?"

"Well, don't you have your confidants in the army? Aren't you a dignified governor of Qin? Who dares not to say hello to you?" His wife continued to cry: "I don't care, no matter what, nothing can happen to Xiaosi."

To put it bluntly, Mrs. Guo Qian is Ding Lao's fourth aunt. Now that something has happened to her, can you not be anxious?

But when Guo Qian heard this, he said: "You are a woman, what do you know! The new governor took advantage of my unpreparedness and took over the military power. Now the situation in Qinzhou is complicated. I don't have the final say in everything."

"Well, even so, you are still a long-time official. If you go to see the prefect, he will have to give you some face." His wife said, "If it doesn't work, we will give you some money."

"Making money?" Guo Qian sneered and said, "Do you know what the prefect is going to do now? He has issued three decrees! One, to completely eliminate banditry in Qin, two, to eliminate bullies everywhere, and three, to prepare for inspections

Corrupt officials! If you asked me to use money at this time, wouldn't you stick your neck to the edge of the knife?"

"Then, what should we do..." His wife was also panicked.

Guo Qian, on the other hand, looked like he hated iron and said, "It's your nephew's fault! He's used to being lawless! I've talked to him before and repeatedly warned him that when a new governor is appointed, he will inevitably have three fires when he takes office. Be careful.

Watch him! Tell him to stay calm during this period, but he just doesn’t listen! Now something happens, how can I save him!?”

But having said that, Guo Qian finally said irritably: "Okay, okay! I will find a way..."

Going to find Xiao Yuan? Guo Qian knew in his heart that it might not be feasible at all, but he knew that Ye Cheng was in charge of eliminating the bullies this time.

Thinking of this, he immediately walked out of the house and prepared to find Ye Cheng, using his official rank to suppress the latter.

Ye Cheng is an old subordinate of Xiao Yuan. He has followed Xiao Yuan through life and death since Liucheng. He has many military exploits. His loyalty to Xiao Yuan is nothing to say.

At this moment, he was sorting out a series of files on Qinzhou Bully, preparing to hand them over to Xiao Yuan for review later.

Hearing that his subordinates came to report that Chief Shi Guo Qian wanted to see him, Ye Cheng had no choice but to greet him in person due to his official rank.

After the two met, Ye Cheng cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I don't know if Mr. Guo is here, but I am a little far away to greet you. I hope you can forgive me."

In terms of official rank, Guo Qian is the governor of Qin, and Ye Cheng calls himself a lower official, which is right.

Hearing this, the latter also returned the salute and said, "Hey? General Ye is too polite."

After the greetings, Ye Cheng quickly stretched out his hand: "Ah, Mr. Guo, please come inside and let's talk in the room."

"please."

After the two of them entered the living room, a sergeant brought tea, and Ye Cheng also got straight to the point: "I wonder what your orders are when Mr. Guo comes here?"

He went directly to the topic. Guo Qian didn't know how to speak for a while. He hesitated and then said tentatively: "I heard that General Ye mobilized the army and arrested many men. He also shot more than a dozen people on the spot in the outer city.

people?"

"No, no, no, I definitely don't dare to do this. These are all under the orders of the prefect, and the people arrested are not ordinary men, but local bullies."

Ye Cheng said: "In addition, as for the shooting of more than a dozen people, it was because these bullies were armed with sticks and openly resisted. The prefect also said that fighting against the government is tantamount to rebellion."

"Rebellion?" Guo Qian was startled and said, "This, this, this, this, isn't this too serious?"

"Haha." Ye Cheng smiled, put down the tea cup and said, "By the way, Mr. Guo hasn't said what's going on."

"Yes, yes." Guo Qian also laughed dryly, and then said: "In this arrest operation, there is one person named Ding Laosi. Presumably, General Ye already knows about my relationship with this person, right?

"

"Yes, the official already knew about it afterwards." Ye Cheng nodded first, and then pretended to be helpless and said: "But Mr. Guo also understands that this is the order of the prefect, and the official can't help himself.

"

"Of course, of course." Guo Qian continued: "This is why I am here. I hope General Ye can be accommodating."

"Master Guo means..." Ye Cheng started to act stupid.

"Since he is a bully and the prefect personally ordered it, there is nothing much to say. However, I am here to ask if I can take away the criminal Ding Laosi and hand him over to the government for trial." Guo Qian said. If he is really brought to the government, he probably won't.

In two days, Ding Laosi will be released.

Hearing this, Ye Cheng said with a troubled face: "This... I'm afraid it won't work."

"Why not?" Guo Qian asked back: "I am the governor of Qin, and I have the right to mention a prisoner and hand it over to the government for trial. Don't I even have this right?"

"No, no, no, Master Chang Shi certainly has this right, but..." At this point, Ye Cheng also glanced at Guo Qian and continued: "It's just that the Governor has already explained it, and Master Guo may be disappointed."

Hearing this, Guo Qian became a little anxious, and immediately changed his words, insinuating: "General Ye will also expand in Qinzhou from now on, and he must understand the officialdom, otherwise, he may be in trouble and be in a dilemma."

His words contained a threat. When Ye Cheng heard the words, he smiled softly and said lukewarmly: "Haha, I don't need to worry about this, Mr. Guo."

"Is there no room for negotiation at all?" Guo Qian asked again.

Ye Cheng shook his head.

"Then I am now ordering you as the governor of Qin!" Guo Qian had already stood up, ready to quarrel.

Ye Cheng also stood up and said simply: "I'm sorry, I only obey the orders of the prefect."
