Hope for luck

Chapter 79 The Dust Settles
Geng Gengchen, who was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night, walked out of the prison early in the morning.

Before leaving, he looked at Zhou Zhengxin, who was still sleeping soundly, and shook him contemptuously, before walking away from the county government jail.

When I came outside, I happened to see a group of messengers on horseback at the gate of the county government office. I was overjoyed and hurried forward to ask:

"Are you all from Jeju, the provincial capital?"

The leader who delivered the order turned his head to look at Geng Gengchen and said:

"Exactly, you are the county magistrate of Dantang?"

"No, no, the next official is just the head of Dantang County, not the county magistrate. Kochi County must be on the way by now, please wait a moment, messengers!"

Geng Gengchen quickly shook his head in denial.

At this moment, he regarded these messengers as people sent by the Dusi Yamen, and he was still thinking in his heart that these people came so fast, and the letters they wrote were only sent out yesterday.

It is only 240 miles from Dantang to Jeju Prefecture. If the speed is fast, it can be reached in one day.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Geng Gengchen regarded these people as people sent by the Dusi Yamen.

"Messenger, but what order did your lord send?"

Geng Gengchen asked cautiously again.

"Since you are not the county magistrate of Dantang, don't ask more questions!"

The leader of the messenger said something very impatiently, and the condescending and arrogant tone in the words was very prominent.

This made Geng Gengchen's heart tremble, and he hurriedly cupped his hands and laughed:

"Yes, yes, the officials talk too much, talk too much..."

As soon as the words fell, Gao Pan's figure appeared from the gate of the county government office.

Naturally, he saw Geng Gengchen complimenting him, but he ignored him, and said loudly:

"I am Gao Pan, the magistrate of Dantang County, and accept the order of the governor!"

The leader of the message, seeing Gao Pan in plain clothes, frowned, feeling very displeased.

Although they have no officials or positions, they represent the will of the governor. Even if the prefect sees them, he has to be respectful.

But Gao Pan didn't even wear an official uniform, which made the messenger very dissatisfied. Gao Pan was disrespectful to the governor!

After a cold snort in his heart, the messenger still took out an official document and began to read it.

After Gao Pan listened to the content of the text, he understood it in his heart, and only then did he know the general meaning.

The general idea of ​​the official document is that the governor of Dongshan carefully checked the documents submitted by Gao Pan. If Gao Pan's words are true, then the food supervision team has neglected their duties and overcorrected.

As one of the grain supervisors, Wei Yan'an was immediately relieved of his post of grain supervisor, pending further discussion.

As for Gao Pan's talk about using power for personal gain and avenging private revenge, the governor of Dongshan will handle it at his discretion, so that he can hand in the autumn grain with peace of mind.

Regarding the fairness of the people in Dantang County, Governor Dongshan also said that he would not ignore the people. If Qiu Liang was of good quality, he would naturally send someone to comfort him as a reward.

"...So, Kochi County, please take me to inspect the autumn grain handed in by Dantang County immediately!"

After reading the official document, the messenger got off his horse and handed the document to Gao Pan.

Gao Pan just glanced at it briefly. After the final seal and signature of the document was confirmed to be the seal of the governor of Dongshan, Gao Pan decided that the document was not fake, and said politely:

"Everyone, please come with me!"

In order to make things difficult for Gao Pan, Wei Yan'an used the handed-in autumn grain as a means to coerce Gao Pan, but he didn't think about it. Right now, the autumn grain handed-in is something that the court is watching closely.

The governor of Dongshan is no exception, of course, paying taxes is the top priority in the local area, who dares to make the slightest mistake?
After reading Gao Panshang's documents, Dongshan governor personally gave instructions overnight, and asked someone to bring his handwriting to Dantang County to investigate.

When Gao Pan saw this, he knew that the overall situation had been settled. As for his detainment of the food supervision team, it was insignificant compared with this official document from Dongshan governor.

This is also Gao Pan's greatest reliance and confidence in detaining the food supervision team so boldly, so he hurriedly led the crowd towards the county government warehouse.

Before leaving, Gao Pan happened to catch a glimpse of Geng Gengchen who was stunned at the moment, and after a cold snort in his heart, he ignored what Geng Gengchen would do.

If Geng Gengchen is still unwilling to give up in the current situation and wants to trip him up, then in the end, the one who is down and out must be him, Geng Gengchen.

Just as Gao Pan thought at the moment, Geng Gengchen was completely stunned after hearing the content of the Dongshan governor's official document, and his face became extremely pale.

He originally thought that this was someone sent by Dongshan Dusi, but he didn't expect that it was the order of Dongshan Governor.

Moreover, the content made Geng Gengchen completely lose his mind. Although the official document did not mention the severity of the situation, it revealed a key point, that is, everything is focused on autumn grains.

Geng Gengchen naturally understood that Wei Yan'an's making things difficult was totally untenable, and now the governor of Dongshan sent someone to inspect it, and he could tell who was right and who was wrong at a glance.

Then, Wei Yan'an would be removed from the post of food supervisor immediately, and Gao Pan would imprison Wei Yan'an and other members of the food supervision team privately. This matter would become dispensable!
Thinking of this, Geng Gengchen's heart went numb, as if all the strength was taken away from his whole body in an instant, he almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, someone just held him and kept him from falling to the ground.

"Master Geng, how are you? Do you still think about the day when you can be a magistrate?"

The person who supported him was none other than Zhou Zhengxin who had just come out of prison.

Seeing Geng Gengchen's distraught look, Zhou Zhengxin knew that Gao Pan's confidence had come!
Geng Gengchen turned his head slowly to look at Zhou Zhengxin, and said dejectedly:

"I think I've been an official for several years, and I'm in my forties this year, and I can't even beat a... a boy with a hairless mouth... Alas..."

After Zhou Zhengxin heard this, he also looked at the rather old gate of the county government with a complicated expression on his face, thinking in his heart, from today onwards, Dantang County will probably listen to the orders of a brat!
……

"You came at the right time, hurry up, arrest Gao Pan, he dared to detain the official and the food supervision team privately, this is a capital crime..."

After checking the quality of the autumn grain, the messenger from the governor's yamen made a decision in an instant, and quickly asked Gao Pan where the grain supervisor was, and he was going to read the governor's order.

Naturally, Gao Pan would not hide it, and brought them straight to the prison, and ordered people to release Wei Yan'an.

When Wei Yan'an saw the people behind Gao Pan, he recognized that these were people from the governor's office, and quickly yelled.

And the leader of the message, seeing that Gao Pan led them to a prison, and Wei Yan'an was still tied up, and his mouth was blocked with something, he felt even more dissatisfied in his heart.

However, he still had to obey the governor's order, so he had to do business. In front of Wei Yan'an, he read Dongshan governor's order to remove Wei Yan'an from the post of food supervisor.

Wei Yan'an was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then looked at the messenger in disbelief:
"How is it possible? How could the governor revoke my official position? Are you making a mistake? Gao Pan...he is the one who committed the crime!"

"Of course I won't make a mistake. This is an order written by the governor himself. If you are not satisfied, you can go to the governor to appeal and take it away!"

The leader who delivered the order replied coldly, and waved his hand again, and the people behind him came over and detained Wei Yan'an again.

Poor Mr. Wei Yan An Wei, just now he was overjoyed and thought that he had finally seen the sun, but he didn't expect that what was waiting for him was still being detained!
　Thanks to the boss 'Storm Falcon' for the reward!

　　Regarding the protagonist being beaten by Xiangyong at the beginning, here is a little excuse. (The following are all the author's own opinions and ideas. If you disagree, you can ignore it.)
　　First of all, the news in ancient times was blocked, and local forces were rampant. The protagonist had just arrived, so naturally no one would speak for him or work hard for him.

　　Under the premise of the acquiescence of other officials in the county government, they came to the county government to make trouble, just to watch the excitement, just to watch the jokes of the protagonist.

　　Even if the protagonist is really killed, it is not surprising to other officials of the county government, and a new county magistrate will come here.

　　As for these villains, they will not let it go in the end, and at most they will find a few to close the case for the dead ghosts.

　　It is not uncommon in ancient times that magistrates were replaced as officials.

　　Therefore, in the author's opinion, Xiang Yong came to the county government to make trouble and hit the protagonist. This thing will happen.

　　Even in modern society, xz was beaten in the 90s, let alone ancient times.

　　Of course, this is just the setting of the novel. If readers feel uncomfortable reading it, they just don’t read it.

　　Thank you again for your reward, and the recommendation votes from many book friends.
