Chapter 218 There is indeed a future with Suhang!
"Yes, Prime Minister Su, I'll go over now." Vice General Zhou quickly mounted his horse and rushed to Luling County with a dozen skilled soldiers overnight.
By the time they arrived at Zhangjiacun, it was already late at night, and Vice General Zhou's movements still caused dogs in nearby villages to bark.
Then, amid the chaotic barking of dogs, lights came on one after another.
Zhang Lizheng and his wife were still sleeping when there was a knock on the door suddenly. Zhang Lizheng quickly got dressed and walked outside holding a candle.
"Here...here, who are you?" Zhang Lizheng opened the door. When he saw so many soldiers in armor outside, still glowing coldly in the night, Zhang Lizheng swallowed his saliva immediately.
"Excuse me, are you Zhang Zhihui and Zhang Lizheng?" Vice General Zhou raised his hands and said respectfully.
"Exactly, I wonder why the generals are here?"
"I'm here to read out the imperial edict." Vice General Zhou opened a bright yellow scroll as he spoke, "Zhang Zhihui listened to the edict and carried it with heaven. The emperor Zhao said..."
When Zhang Lizheng was kneeling on the ground to receive the imperial edict, his eldest son Da Gou and his wife happened to come out with their clothes on, and saw Zhang Lizheng receiving the imperial edict with trembling hands.
"Dad, what's going on?" Big Dog and the others went up.
Zhang Lizheng almost lost his balance, but fortunately, the big dog had quick eyesight and quick hands to help Zhang Lizheng.
"Son, our family is about to make a fortune! This is an imperial edict. Suhang helped me get a county magistrate. The emperor has approved it. With this imperial edict, I can take office."
The big dog and his wife looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
"Dad, you have become an official! You have become an official!"
Zhang Lizheng's mother-in-law just happened to come over. As soon as she heard these words, she hurried over.
"County Magistrate Zhang, please follow me and go to take office as soon as possible? Please also rush to rescue Qian Zhai's people." Vice General Zhou reminded the family as he watched the family fall into excitement.
As soon as Zhang Lizheng heard the word "county magistrate", he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. He immediately remembered that he still had business to do, so he quickly put away the imperial edict and nodded to Vice General Zhou, "Yes, general, we will go there immediately.
"
Since Zhang Lizheng could not ride a horse, Vice General Zhou asked Zhang Lizheng to sit behind him.
"Dad, please slow down..." Dagou and the others watched Zhang Lizheng and Vice General Zhou leave.
At this moment, Qian Zhong was being held in the backyard of the county government office, while Qian Jiaorong and the maid were being held in another house.
Qian Cheng was toasting with the Luling County Magistrate. The Luling County Magistrate said: "Hahaha... Qian Zhai's family has a great business. If Qian Zhong is found guilty of this tax evasion charge and the old lady is gone, then this huge
The family fortune has all fallen on you, Mr. Qian, so I would like to congratulate you first."
"It's okay hahaha, isn't it all thanks to you, the county magistrate? By the way, Doujiazhai probably succeeded too, right? Suhang cares so much about beauty, and with Doujiazhai, this is equivalent to having
Now that I have two chips, I can come and take advantage of Suhang. I believe he will stop supporting the children of poor families!"
"Haha... This Suhang is really out of his mind. He can just join the aristocratic families after crossing the class. Why should he go against the aristocratic families? Speaking of which, your Qianzhai is also an old aristocratic family. If you hadn't supported me in the first place,
If he goes to sea, do you think he will be able to survive today? I don’t think so.
We want to serve the family well, but only want to stab the family in the back, so no wonder we!" The Luling County Magistrate snorted. After all, he was supported by the family, and he was willing to be a dog of the family in exchange for glory and wealth, so he
I really can’t understand Suhang’s intention of supporting children from poor families!
"He is just an ungrateful villain! But this kid is really smart! When my eldest brother asked him to marry into our family, he refused. At that time, I could tell that this kid was ambitious, and I felt,
His true intention of supporting the poor children is to
He sacrificed himself in order to cultivate his own power, otherwise, he would always be under the suppression of the aristocratic family. To put it bluntly, he did not want to be a dog of the aristocratic family, so he wanted to cultivate his own power." Qian Chengwei
The Luling County Magistrate poured a glass of wine and revealed the truth.
The Luling County Magistrate touched the beard on his chin and felt that Su Hang's behavior made sense after Qian Cheng explained it like this.
"Sir, I am here to honor you." Qian Cheng held a mahogany box and placed it on the table.
The eyes of the Luling County Magistrate immediately shined. After all, he was also a boy from a poor family. As soon as he passed the imperial examination, he became a disciple of a noble family. He was willing to be driven by the noble family. He was originally greedy for glory and wealth. Now that he saw this box of money, what could he do?
Is there anyone who is not tempted?
"Thank you very much, Mr. Qian. It's better to obey orders than to be so respectful!" The Luling County Magistrate smiled and took the box down.
"Sir, I hope that my eldest brother can be judged as soon as possible and then sent to Fucheng, preferably tomorrow, the sooner the better!" After all, Qian Cheng has been waiting for this day for so many years, and now he can't wait to judge his eldest brother quickly.
Crime, to avoid long nights and endless dreams!
The county magistrate, who had just accepted the benefit, could not say a word, and said with a smile: "Of course, Mr. Qian, don't worry. He will be convicted as soon as possible tomorrow without delaying a day. As for his daughter,
, leave it to Chi Langjun, because Chi Langjun said that this can threaten Suhang."
"Well, all this is at your command." Qian Cheng was so excited that he was already dreaming of owning a huge property like Qian's house...
"Sir, soldiers from the capital suddenly came outside." A black-clothed government officer came to report.
Qian Cheng and the Luling County Magistrate were stunned. Qian Cheng looked at this midnight, it was still dark, how could there be soldiers from Beijing coming?
The Luling County Magistrate also had a question mark on his face, but he still tidied up his clothes and rushed to the Yamen Gate.
"I wonder what advice you have when you visit the county government late at night?" the Luling County Magistrate said in an official tone.
Vice General Zhou helped Zhang Lizheng off his horse. After all, Zhang Lizheng had only stayed in the village. At this moment, he still lacked confidence. But as soon as he held the imperial edict in his hand, he suddenly felt confident.
Vice General Zhou cupped his hands and said, "I am here to welcome the new county magistrate according to your majesty's order."
"What? What does this mean?" The Luling County Magistrate was not calm.
Vice General Zhou gave Zhang Lizheng a look. Zhang Lizheng coughed slightly, raised the imperial edict in his hand, and handed it to Vice General Zhou.
Vice General Zhou opened it, and the Luling County Magistrate and all the government officials knelt down. After listening to Vice General Zhou's reading, the Luling County Magistrate raised his head, with cold sweat on his forehead.
"This... this is impossible... why did your majesty depose me? I need an explanation. Don't we have the king's law?"
Vice General Zhou heard this and said coldly: "Just ask your Majesty about this!"
"I don't accept it! I don't accept it!" The Luling County Magistrate had a toad's mouth and broke through the defense.
Vice General Zhou motioned to the soldiers to come forward and take off the official uniform of the Luling County Magistrate. The government officials nearby looked at him.
Qian Cheng hid aside and witnessed all this. He was so frightened that he hurried to the back door and left.
"Please, Magistrate Zhang." Vice Admiral Zhou said to Zhang Lizheng.
Zhang Lizheng was very nervous, but he still entered the Yamen as calmly as possible. Vice General Zhou and a dozen soldiers followed behind him.
"Vice General Zhou, I feel that you have been working hard enough running back and forth all night. Now you can go and rest first. We will check Qian Zhai's files tomorrow."
The imperial court has regulations that affairs in a county can only be managed by the county magistrate, who will then pass them on to superiors step by step. Zhang Lizheng still understands this.
"I won't sleep. Too many things have happened tonight. If Zhang Lizheng is tired, he should go to bed. I will protect you here. I will not finish my work until Su Xiang comes over tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Zhang Lizheng almost wanted to praise Vice General Zhou for his professionalism.
"Vice General Zhou, please go and have a rest. I will help you protect Zhang Lizheng." Suddenly an adolescent male voice came from the yard. Everyone followed the sound and saw the third master standing there with his arms akimbo.
"Third Master, why are you here?"
"My brother-in-law asked me to come."
After hearing this, Vice General Zhou admired Su Hang more and more. Su Hang really had the ability to strategize!
"Then, Third Master, I will go and take a nap for a while. I'm sorry for bothering you, Third Master."
"Go ahead, go ahead."
Zhang Lizheng listened to their conversation and went to rest with the imperial edict in mind. After all, he was old and couldn't stay up late. He was looking forward to Su Hang coming over tomorrow to check the files together and pay back the money. At the same time, Zhang Lizheng was thinking
Fortunately, my vision is indeed right. If I follow Su Hang, I will definitely have a bright future.
