Chapter 84 Su Huan is a Clothed Beast
County Office.

Although county magistrate Yang Xingchang was suspended, he is still the county magistrate of Lin'an County in name, but he does not have the right to act as a county magistrate.

Now the power of the county magistrate of Lin'an County is all handed over to Su Huan. He is a temporary official, a ninth-rank official, and one level younger than the county magistrate. Why does the Ministry of Officials hand over the power to him instead of In the hands of the county magistrate who has passed the eighth grade, it is unknown.

During the more than a month of being suspended, Yang Xingchang had a very decadent life, drinking with a jug every day, not knowing what to do.

Suddenly one day there were no documents on the desk, which was very strange.

No government officials came to look for them, and no friends came to look for them. They were all afraid of getting involved with Yang Xingchang, and then being implicated in the assassination case.

Yang Xingchang was cut off from the world, everyone forgot about him overnight.

By the way, except for a letter Su Huan sent when he took office, and some gifts brought by visiting Shangguan, no one remembered him anymore.

People leave the tea to cool down, and the song ends. It is really far away to think about reinstatement in this life. Maybe in a few days, the Ministry of officials will appoint other famous people to serve as county magistrates, and he will be dismissed or demoted. The more I think about it, the more troubled I become.

There were two people standing in the corridor, one was Yang Xingchang's wife and the other was Yang Yuehua. Yang Yuehua was holding a letter from Su Huan in his hand.

When he was in the White Mansion, Su Huan had promised that if he could help, he would help. In addition, his visit a few days ago and his letter made it clear that he would try his best to get Yang Xingchang back to work.

Seeing how decadent her father was, Yang Yuehua finally couldn't bear it, walked over and gave Yang Xingchang a shoulder blow. "Father, don't worry. Didn't Mr. Su say that he would help Daddy get back to his post?"

"Think about it, Mr. Su is so talented, and what he said will definitely count. Daddy, just wait for the good news from Mr. Su."

Yang Xingchang heheed twice, and poured a glass of wine into the glass.

Yang Yuehua continued: "Daddy used to go home, didn't he praise Mr. Su as your lucky star every day?"

"Mr. Su has a good character and talent. He has become the chief bookkeeper at a young age. He is very capable."

As soon as Yang Yuehua finished speaking, Yang Xingchang suddenly looked over and stared at Yang Yuehua's face carefully. "Have you taken a fancy to the boy surnamed Su?"

"No!" Yang Yuehua quickly defended: "I just think he can help Daddy get back to his post."

"Don't mention this ugly grandson to me again. You talk nicely, and you don't ask him what kind of bastard things he has done, privately increasing corvees, building large-scale construction projects, making great achievements, taking money and perverting the law, and cooperating with a few bastards. Is this something a good official would do?"

"There is already a reservoir in the county. Why do we need to build another reservoir? He just wants to get more money. If he behaves like this, I don't want to be with him or save him."

Yang Yuehua blushed, and couldn't find words to defend Su Huan. Every day the housekeeper went out to inquire about news, and what he brought back were all the people in the county who secretly scolded Su Huan behind his back.

The more Yang Xingchang said, the more angry he became: "A beast in clothes, it's a pity that I trained him as a successor and paid attention to it. Do you see that what people are doing now is what humans do?"

Yang Xingchang threw the cup on the ground angrily. "Save? He is in the same league as the county magistrate Dian Shi. It will be good if he doesn't harm your father. Will he save me?"

Yang Yuehua was taken aback. "Daddy, don't be angry."

After Yang Xingchang got angry, he felt sorry for the wine glass, and then he calmed down, knowing that getting angry is useless. "Forget it, Dad is suspended now, it's useless to say these things, wait for the Ministry of Officials to notify."

"Dad, maybe there will be a turning point?"

"No, don't comfort your father. I still know how the situation is now. Someday my father will go to Baifu to visit Su Huan, and make good friends with him, so as not to be betrayed by him, and to please that bastard of the county magistrate." .” Yang Xingchang sighed deeply.

"No way." Yang Yuehua felt that his cognition had been impacted.

The second day of February in the fourth year of Hongtai.

Early in the morning, Meng Xiang, the prefect of Hangzhou, was invited to come to An County.

At this time, Su Huan was invited to see how the water treatment in Lin'an County was going.

Meng Xiang has always been very optimistic about Su Huan, a boy who never takes the ordinary path. He might really bring blessings to the people.

When the carriage entered Lin'an County, Meng Xiang frowned when he saw the announcement of increasing the corvee income. After reading it, why didn't he know anything about these things?

Construction is underway everywhere in Lin'an County. Reservoirs and rivers are being opened up, and truckloads of soil are being transported outside.

Meng Xiang's brows furrowed even more. The document didn't mention any major construction projects. This required manpower and material resources, which was a waste of people and money.

After seeing Su Huan, Meng Xiang was about to say something, but Su Huan blocked him back with other words, and then took him to the construction site, standing by the reservoir, watching the dense crowd of people working below.

"Xiao Su, when I first entered the city, I saw an official document posting an increase in corvee income. I don't have the slightest impression of this matter."

"My lord, I added this privately."

The magistrate Meng Xiang looked at Su Huan and said earnestly. "Xiao Su, you are an official from my jurisdiction. My government would like to say a few words of heartfelt words to you. Lin'an has water control, why build this reservoir? Such a large-scale construction will only waste people's money and is not good for your official career. .”

"I will help you deal with this matter. You will not be allowed to do this again in the future."

"Yes." Su Huan bowed his hands and listened.

"All the labor is spent on corvee, where is the money going?" Meng Xiang asked the question he was most concerned about. "Don't learn from Shiping. Those ways are ultimately small gains in the short term, which are not conducive to long-term development. You are still young and have a bright future. You should work hard for the welfare of the people. I will give you some good words at the meeting. According to your talent At the age of 30, it should be no problem to be a county magistrate, and at the age of 40, you can also be expected to be a magistrate."

"Thank you for your cultivation." Su Huan said: "All the money I got from the lower officials bought a steel gate."

"Take me to have a look."

Su Huan led Meng Xiang to the steel gate. Meng Xiang was startled. The shape of this steel gate had never been seen before. After careful inspection, it was definitely made of high-quality steel.

The price of silver required for this piece of steel gate will be sky-high.

"Who built it? How much did it cost?"

Su Huan didn't answer, and avoided the topic. This steel gate was changed by him with a system. Only such a steel gate is worthy of this huge reservoir. A gate made of ordinary wood may be broken in an instant. up.

Su Huan avoided the topic, and Meng Xiang stopped mentioning it. The two of them dressed in official uniforms and walked around the reservoir.

Noon came soon, everyone put down their work and received some steamed buns and porridge.

Su Huan and the prefect also received some steamed buns to eat. The government officials offered to take them to Manfeng Tower to eat, but Meng Xiang refused. Several government officials accompanied them, tremblingly.

Su Huan: "My lord, let's go to the county government office together."

"it is good!"
