Civil servants of the Tang Dynasty

Yun Danfeng lightly placed the chess piece in his hand on the chessboard again, and Min Qian smiled slightly, "Tang Cheng didn't intend to threaten this emissary at all, he appeared in front of you with such a strong posture today just to see I also hope to persuade the envoy to give up Niu Zude, but his ultimate goal is to take Niu Zude and replace him, first with the right to trade with Longmen Xi as a merchant, and then with Niu Zude as the governor. It's just a political dispute between him and Niu Zude."

"What a Tang Cheng, you dare to be so domineering if you want to be promoted and beg for help!".

"If that's not the case, why would you bother me to play chess for a county magistrate?" The smile on Min Qian's face grew wider, "There are more than [-] county magistrates in Hebei Province, who have the courage and thoughtfulness to use such a routine But this is the only one, and based on this alone, this Tang Cheng can be regarded as a man who can be made."

"Master, you mean... to meet him?"

"No hurry! You can go to Sun Jishi to look up the treasures he has accumulated in the past few years. If there are any records about Tang Cheng, please send the relevant documents. The envoy always wants to see if he has any records. Da Tianting's method and ability to double the profit of Longmen's trade; if you really want to see him, he needs to let his mind be too hot now."

Min Hyuk nodded but did not leave, "What about Niu Zude in Guizhou? Su An must be supervising him to investigate Tang Cheng's matter now."

"Niu Zude knows too much. Recently, he has made so many mistakes that he has been implicated in this envoy. Such a person is not very meaningful. If there is really double the profit, why can't this person be replaced? As for Min Su'an, how to find out No matter how you do the investigation, the more and more serious crimes you find out, the better. With such a thing in your hand, it will be more convenient to beat someone who is disobedient in the future." At this point, Min Qian waved his hand, "Go down and help you No one is allowed to come in and disturb for an hour, and let me finish typing this score quietly."

"Yes", Min Hyuk heard the words, bowed and retreated quietly.

Chapter 253 Everything Is Just a Deal

For three days, Tang Cheng's master and servant were left hanging in the Xinglong Inn without any response.

Laifu also knew that his master came to Daocheng privately. According to the rules of the court, he left the jurisdiction privately. He saw that he went out and went around and still didn't have any video messages from the emissary. When he came back, he couldn't help but feel sad. He said dryly: "Senior official, it's been three days and Min Hyuk hasn't shown his head yet, let's go, if there is anything to do, go back and find a way."

Tang Cheng sat cross-legged on the couch holding a copy of the "Diamond Sutra" he bought randomly on the street. Movable type printing has not been invented yet, and the cost of block printing is too high. The printed matter is the Buddhist scriptures. Since he bought this Buddhist scriptures outside the inn the day before yesterday and came back, he didn’t leave his room in his free time for the past two days, just sitting on the couch and reading the scriptures like an old monk who has settled down.

Seeing Tang Cheng like this, Lai Fu, who was already impatient, became even more anxious. He obviously ran away privately, so he didn't know how to be anxious at all.

With so many things going on in the county, how could Tang Cheng not be in a hurry?If it weren't for the sudden incident, he wouldn't be able to take a step at all.But what can I do in a hurry?The future of the grand blueprint of Longmen County is closely related to his official position, but the root cause of solving the problem of unstable official position is not in Longmen County, but here, in Daocheng. , What's the point of going back?

Why did he buy this "Diamond Sutra"? Isn't it just to calm down his impatience through the Buddhist scriptures.

"Be calm when things happen, how many times have I told you this. Look at you like an ant in a hot pot, sit down!" Tang Cheng stretched out his hand to turn over a page of scriptures, and said without raising his head: "wait".

It is true that Min Hyuk did not bring any good news, but he also did not send any news of rejection. After saying those words, Tang Cheng firmly believed that it was impossible for the Observation Mission to remain silent. From this point of view, no news itself may be good news.

It takes patience to catch big fish!Although the waiting in front of me is indeed uncomfortable, it is also a good opportunity to hone patience.

Waiting for the final result, ten days later, Min He, the chief steward of the Observation Envoy's Mansion, finally set foot in the Xinglong Inn again, and brought news that the Observation Envoy Min Qian had summoned him.

After receiving the news, Tang Cheng put down the scripture scroll in his hand and stood by the window for a long time. On the couch behind him, the newly bought "Diamond Sutra" had a layer of rough edges.

The time was at dusk after the office was dismissed in the afternoon, and the place was the study room of the Observation Mission. Tang Cheng met Min Qian, the No. [-] official figure in Hebei Province.

When Tang Cheng came in with the servant, Min Qian, who was wearing light home clothes, was reading with a book in his hand, excitedly.

After leading him there, the boy turned around and went away silently. Tang Cheng waited for a while and saw that Min Qian had no intention of releasing the paper, and found a chair and sat down quietly.

Although Min Qian's eyes fell on the scroll in his hand, Tang Cheng glanced at Tang Cheng from the corner of his eyes from time to time, just like Ash Dezhi that day. After arriving, Tang Cheng's youth still impressed him deeply.

With handsome features and a romantic personality, Min Qian, who was also a scholar, had a good first impression of Tang Cheng, at least much better than Niu Zude, who had a fierce face.Putting aside these external things, Min Qian is more interested in Tang Cheng's calm demeanor that is not commensurate with his age.

Scholars at this age can be nominated on the Jinshi Gold List in high school, no matter how they are considered, they are proud of their youth. It is common to be arrogant, but this kind of thing that should be normal is not seen in Tang Zeng at all. He has been here for a while , neither sincerity nor trepidation, nor the slightest trepidation deliberately left out, sitting quietly, with a condensed calmness between his brows.

I haven't seen such a young man for a long time!

"Are you Tang Cheng?" After a long time, Min Qian put down the scroll in his hand, turned around and said shallowly, "Tang Cheng, who can be killed every day in Chang'an City on the night after Empress Wei was abolished?".

Tang Cheng looked away from the "Historical Records" that Min Qian put on the book case, "If the country lives and dies for the benefit of the country, how can it be avoided because of misfortune and good fortune. The next official is Tang Cheng who was chased by the whole city by Wanqi Dasuo that night."

"The life and death of a country that benefits a country should be avoided because of misfortune and good fortune." Min Qian recited these two lines of poems repeatedly, with an indistinct smile on his face. , Where did you shelter that night, and you were able to escape the search of more than ten thousand soldiers all over the city."

When Min Qianruo asked this inadvertently, a gleam in his eyes flashed away, and Tang Cheng hardly hesitated about it, "To tell you the truth, my lord, I lived in the emperor's hidden residence that night, and the city was full of wind and rain."

"As far as this envoy knows, His Majesty Gongbian didn't know about it that day, but it was the joint efforts of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness Princess Zhenguo to make a major event." Min Qian pondered for a while before speaking again: "So, you go to The Wanqi Army was dispatched by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?".

Tang Cheng didn't say much, and when he got up, he turned his wrist and gently placed something on the desk in front of Min Qian.

This is the jade card that Zhang Liang gave Tang Cheng to him in accordance with Li Longji's instructions when he left Yangzhou that day. .

The fine Hetian jade shone warmly in the light passing through the window, but Min Qian's attention was only focused on the three small characters on the back of the jade card, which were the names of the current prince.

It has been more than half a year since that palace fight. Although Princess Taiping of Zhenguo had the upper hand in the court, and was so prominent that the seven prime ministers of the Zhengshitang went out five times, she still couldn't push Li Longji down from the position of crown prince. , and in the court hall of the inner palace, there was a faint news that His Majesty is tired of political affairs and has retired from the Zen throne to the Supreme Emperor.

There have been two palace changes in less than three years. Min Qian can't see where the current court situation will go. He just knows that when Li Longji and Princess Taiping reach this step, no one can back down anymore. .

"If this envoy doesn't see you, do you want to inform the person in the capital about the affairs of Guizhou?" As he said, Min Qian raised the jade token in his hand.

"Yes", Tang Cheng nodded, "In order to protect myself, the lower officials have to do this."

Hearing this, Min Qian smiled silently, and put the jade tablet back on the desk, "Do you know that Hebei Road is the first avenue of the country?".

This is something that a three-year-old child knows. Tang Cheng didn't understand how Min Qian would suddenly mention this, but he didn't ask, "Yes".

"Only three months ago, Her Royal Highness Princess Zhen Guo had intentionally transferred the envoy to Beijing to join the peace process. This is the second time since the palace change."

According to the current official rules, Fanjia Tongping Zhangshi has the power of prime minister, which also means that what Princess Taiping promised to Min Qian is the position of prime minister in the Zhengshitang. Hearing this, Tang Cheng was only wondering why Min Qian wanted to follow him. He said that apart from these, he was not too surprised by the news. After all, it is not too unbelievable to be promoted to Chang'an Zhengshitang as the No. [-] avenue observer in the world.

"But the emissary has declined." Min Qian stood up with a slight smile, walked to the table next to Tang Cheng's seat and raised the tea pot, and continued in a light tone while pouring tea: "The emissary has already I'm old, I'm going to retire quietly after three years of this term, I don't want to worry about the affairs of Chang'an court, and I can't afford to worry about it, so let those vicissitudes stay away from me, away from Hebei Road Farther away." At this point, Min Qian picked up one of the two poured tea and handed it to Tang Cheng, "So, do you understand the meaning of this emissary?".

"Yes".

"This is not Chang'an. Even if it is Chang'an, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not yet taken over the throne. Tang Cheng, remember, this is Hebei Province. Hebei Province has its own charter. Anyone who breaks the charter will destroy his future." , Min Qian avoids Tang Cheng's extended hand, and puts the teacup on the desk beside him, "It's not easy for you to come so far, so this is my warning to you."

Tang Cheng stood up from the Hu stool, and once again agreed in a deep voice, "Yes."

"You have a lot of business in the yamen, so I won't keep you anymore. Let's go back tomorrow morning." Min Qian looked Tang Cheng up and down again and said warmly: "As a subordinate, you can't avoid hardships and dangers." To sue Shangguan for corruption, this alone shows that you are loyal to the imperial court, and I will live up to your intentions. If Niu Zude, the governor of Guizhou, is really corrupt, I will definitely punish you severely according to the court's laws. The Dao Yamen will order the Secretary to handle it, and if you have any testimonies, testimonies, or even witnesses, you will hand them over to them."

"Yes", Tang Chengqiang suppressed the feeling in his heart, and said in a calm tone: "The lower officials should cooperate with all their strength."

When Min Qian heard this, he looked at Tang Cheng with a warm smile for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, let's go!".

Walking out of Min Qian's study room, Tang Cheng hadn't let out the long breath he had held in for a long time, and saw Min Hyuk waiting in the front yard.

"Congratulations to County Magistrate Tang", Min Hyuk's intimacy at this time is really far from the indifference of that day.

Seeing this, Tang Cheng was also full of smiles, and he clasped his hands to Min He's side and walked out side by side with him, "If there is no help from Min Guan at home, how can I see Mr. Observation Envoy? This love is written down, let's wait It must be supplemented later."

"One family doesn't talk about two families, County magistrate Tang is too polite." Min He laughed, and took out two notes from his pocket with his right hand, "This one is for Min Su'an, brother of the She family. County magistrate Tang directly handed over the state to him. From then on, magistrate Lao Tang will take care of the trade with Longmenxi, but county magistrate Tang can rest assured that there is absolutely no reason for you to work in vain. You get [-]% of the profit."

"Butler Min, how about..."

"This matter has been decided, and the county magistrate of Tang should not refuse anymore." Min He smiled and helped Tang Cheng's arm, "This is the only way we can truly say that we share weal and woe, and we depend on each other for good and bad."

"Since that's the case, then it's better to be respectful than obedient. Thank you, Butler Min."

Seeing that Tang Cheng was such a governor, Min Hyuk patted him on the shoulder affectionately, "As for the second letter, it's for Guizhou Biejia An Ruohai. Taking care of state affairs, it would be good if Tang county magistrate sees him."

After putting away the two letterheads, the two said goodbye with a smile. When Tang Cheng turned to leave, Min Hyuk specifically told him, "It's cold and windy, so don't rush the county magistrate Tang on the way back, just pay attention to money." That's it."

"Okay", Tang Cheng smiled knowingly when he heard the words, bowed his hands to Min Hyuk and turned away.

Compared with the wind and rain when they came, the return journey from Jinyang was much easier for the two masters and servants. Tang Cheng refused to ride a horse anymore, and spent a lot of money to hire the best car from the city's car dealership to ride all the way back. , the Xuan car is spacious, with a built-in fire cage, and the warm Sanle pulp in the fire cage steams from time to time with a slightly sweet aroma of wine, soaked in such warmth and comfort, when Laifu thinks about it again The sufferings that I have suffered are really like a world away.

All the way back to Guizhou, and just got off the car in Huairong City, the master and the servant heard an explosive news that was hotly discussed in the streets and alleys——Niu Zude, the governor of Guizhou who had been in charge of Guizhou for several years, was arrested for corruption. The blasphemy has been suspended and locked up by the people sent by the Taoist government. At present, more than 180 million flying notes and banknotes have been found in his mansion alone. In addition, there are no less than a dozen land and house deeds.

Faced with the knowing smile from Laifu, Tang Cheng couldn't help but listen to the indignant people beside him talking about Niu Zude's greed and the observation master's wisdom, and all his emotion turned into a deep sigh.

Everything is just a transaction!

Chapter 254 Yamen! ! !

This time, Tang Cheng left everything at hand and rushed to Jinyang, Daocheng against the wind and cold. What he wanted was to get rid of Niu Zude. Finally, the heart that has been held has completely fallen to the ground.

Until now, he could finally be sure that this trip to Jinyang was not in vain, and that the grand plan of Longmen he had single-handedly planned, together with his official position, had completely turned the corner.

After confirming this matter, Tang Cheng didn't listen to the street talk of those idlers any more. It took more than 300 years, but this kind of discussion and cursing of corrupt officials was no different from that of later generations. boring.

"Don't look for the inn, after you inquire about Min Su'an's residence, go to the tea shop in front and look for me." After Tang Cheng waved to Laifu, he went to the tea shop not far ahead to find a seat.

The tea that Tang Cheng eats now is directly brewed with boiling water following the method of later generations. In fact, he is not used to this kind of boiled tea sold in tea shops with spices such as green onion and ginger. The picture shows this tea The [-] is both warm and quiet, it is indeed a good place to rest.

Ordered a cup of Guzhu purple bamboo shoots and some preserved fruits, Tang Cheng ate the preserved fruits while warming himself by the fire, and waited for the news of Laifu. He never touched the famous tea from the beginning to the end, and he could hardly wait for him to eat the plate of preserved apricots. Around the same time, Laifu came back.

After hearing clearly Min Suan's room number in Wanfu Inn, Tang Cheng didn't let Laifu go with him, and lowered his voice and said, "If you go to deal with Ning Mingyuan's affairs, you must hand him over to those people from the Daoya. In fact, this matter is very important, if there is a problem, Min Qian will not be able to explain it, so you must handle it carefully."

"Don't worry, senior officials." Laifu nodded, picked up the already cold boiled tea that Tang Cheng had ordered for him, and drank it in one gulp, before leaving the teahouse first.

After walking out of the tea shop, Tang Cheng put on his cloak and walked leisurely to Wanfu Inn, and went straight to Min Suan's residence and knocked on the door.

"Who?" The voices in the room were short and hurried, revealing a strong sense of impatience.

Min Suan was really annoying. His trip to Guizhou was personally assigned by the master. The task was to beat Niu Zude and urge him to find the root of the trouble, Ning Mingyuan, and solve the problem in Longmen County. Such a big change suddenly came while it was proceeding in an orderly manner.

When he didn't get any news, the Daoya people arrived as soon as they said it, and they said in front of him that Niu Zude was arrested, and then he was arrested. His teeth were smashed on the ground, and he couldn't even utter a word. Min Su'an's face was really hot, as if he had been slapped hard.

It's not that Min Su'an feels sorry for Niu Zude, since he was appointed as the second housekeeper by the master, he has never encountered such a shameful thing. When he reacted from this sudden change and asked the Yalai people He didn't ask anything, only a message from the big housekeeper telling him not to rush back to Daocheng for now.

Hearing this message from the big housekeeper, Min Su'an, who had a fiery face, couldn't help but cursed in his heart: "Fuck your mother".

The scolding is scolding, but I can't go back, because the governor's mansion can't live in this sensitive time, Min Su'an can only move to this Wanfu Inn.Although it claims to be the best inn in Guizhou, the conditions here are really limited, so how did it get into the second butler Min's eyes who value the most enjoyment?

It's okay to live in a bad place, and what's more annoying is that he doesn't know why he lives here, and those Niu Zude's family members come to him every day to make noise. And I really can't say it, so it's extremely difficult to deal with these people.

With the combination of several reasons, Min Su'an was really angry, and the answer outside the door at this time made him even more angry.

Longmen county magistrate Tang Cheng?It's not messy enough, even he came here!Well, when things go wrong, all kinds of monsters and monsters really get together.

After waving his hand to stop the servant who was about to open the door, Min Su'an pushed away the singing girl who was pinching his shoulders, kicked her shoes and opened the door herself.

"It's a serious illness." Min Su'an opened the door with a bad face, bursting out with evil fire: "You dare to come and hang around in front of me even though you are lying, Tang Cheng, you are really tired of life."

"The second butler is so angry, I really should ask Lang Zhong to take a look." Tang Cheng said with a smile, and he had already walked in through the door that Min Su'an opened.

Isn't this a disease of cursing people, "so courageous", when Min Su'an got angry, the family members who served him in the house surrounded Tang Cheng fiercely.

After finding a stool and sitting down, Tang Cheng took out Min He's letter and shook it with a smile, "Brother Min He's letter, the second butler, won't you read it?".

As for this sentence, the family members who surrounded Tang Cheng stood around Tang Cheng and turned to look at Min Su'an hesitantly, as if they had been immobilized.

"Second brother?" Min Su'an was taken aback when he heard the words, turned around and came in, gave Tang Cheng a hard look, and then ruthlessly dragged away the letter in his hand.

To his attitude, Tang Cheng just smiled lightly, "What are you doing in a daze, pour me a cup of tea", the singing girl on the couch heard the words, got up in a daze and went down to help Tang Cheng pour a cup of tea and bring it over, and seeing Tang Cheng pick it up The teatime smile was very warm, and the erotic prostitute gave a bright smile while lowering her head slightly.

"Bitch, what are you selling?" Min Su'an, who had read the letter, happened to see this scene, stretched out his hand and slapped the singing girl on the face, "Go away, what are you looking at, you are the same."

The prostitutes with tears in their eyes and the silent servants swarmed out of the room, leaving only Min Su'an and Tang Cheng in the huge guest room.

The soft-faced Min Su'an looked Tang Cheng back and forth carefully several times with eyes like poisonous snakes, then slapped the letter in his hand on a few cases, and sneered, "The business in Guizhou is so big that not just anyone can take it over." ".

"Oh, according to the words of the second housekeeper, this means that the observation makes adults lack eyesight, so you don't know people?".

Tang Cheng's words only choked the unwilling Min Su'an, "You...don't be so bloody, I'm just planning for the master."

"My lord has been in office for many years through observation, and he is a respected person, so I still have such a little insight into people." Seeing Min Su'an's expression, Tang Cheng smiled slightly, "Since my lord can trust me through observation, the second butler ...".

The unfinished part of the words arouses people's daydream, and the big master at the top has already spoken clearly, so how can a second housekeeper stop him?Tang Cheng's unfinished sentence actually made Min Su'an calm down from his unwilling anger and think carefully about the matter in front of him.

The government office in Guizhou suffered a sudden change, and Tang Cheng, who was supposed to close his eyes and wait to die in Longmen county office, appeared here at this moment, holding a letter from Min Hyuk in his hand, which actually said to observe that the master had already died. Personally appointing Tang Cheng to take over Longmenxi's business... All these things are unimaginable, but these things happened one after another in a short period of time. Why?Thinking about it, Min Su'an's eyes fell back on Tang Cheng again.

If you want to explain the reason why Min Hexin didn't explain it clearly, the root cause must still be this abnormal Tang Cheng.

Tang Cheng met Min Su'an's probing eyes and said with a gentle smile: "I also know that the second housekeeper has been cooperating with Niu Zude for a long time and doesn't want to change people, but who made Niu Shijun commit a felony crime of corruption by indiscretion as an official? You can't live with your own crimes, and now someone The matter of taking over Longmenxi Trading is a foregone conclusion, or what Butler Min should think about is not how this happened, but how to cooperate with a certain one. It is hard to escape the blame. It is widely rumored that observation makes adults the most discerning rewards and punishments, and Butler Min, as a person around him, must know it all too clearly."

Although the meaning behind these words is still unacceptable, Min Su'an, who calmed down, did not get angry like before. Instead, he slowly lowered his body and sat down with Tang Cheng, "Okay, since we have to work together, then You have to be honest and trustworthy, Tang Cheng, tell me the truth, did you do what happened to Niu Zude, and what relationship do you have with my master?".

"Niu Zude is a disrespectful official and corrupt by nature. Fortunately, the observation made the Lord see clearly and deal with it impartially. How can such a major matter involving the court's law be manipulated by others? Min Butler, as the observer's confidant family, said this It's really something wrong." Gently shaking the tea in the cup, Tang Cheng watched the circles of ripples carefully, "As for the origin, what can I do with my lord observation as an eighth-rank county magistrate?" Yuanyuan? This time I went to Jinyang, and the observation made the Lord just see me for the sake of an old friend, and there is absolutely no private matter."

When it comes to the last sentence, Tang Chengduan is righteous and strict.

"Yes, yes, my master is well-known for being an upright official. How could he do something private? It was a slip of the tongue just now." Looking at Tang Cheng's upright face, Min Su'an let out a ruthless pooh from the bottom of his heart. On the one hand, he looked at Tang Cheng with admiration. Could the person who could speak such majestic official words be the "raw melon egg" in Niu Zude's mouth?Underestimating the enemy, too underestimating the enemy, from this point of view Niu Zude is not wronged for his defeat, "Who is that old friend?".

Min Su'an wanted to know his details, Tang Cheng could understand, but it was really against the official rules to ask this question, "This person is now living in Chang'an Miyagi, as for his identity, the master has a saying: 'It's taboo for the venerable', someone really Don't tell me." Tang Cheng raised his hand and pointed upwards, then smiled and said, "If Steward Min really wants to know, I might as well ask Mr. Observer face to face after returning to Daocheng."

Miyagi is the residence of the emperor's family, how many palaces can there be in the whole world?Hearing Tang Cheng's point here, Min Su'an was startled, but he couldn't believe it, otherwise, how could he explain Niu Zude's sudden downfall and this letter?Just relying on a small eight-rank county magistrate, don't even think about doing such a big event, and don't even think about seeing his master's face.

The more Tang Cheng didn't say it clearly, the more mysterious and credible it seemed to Min Su'an. For a while, the original resentment and unwillingness in his heart were immediately put aside, and he was not going to let it show up.

Those who know the current affairs are Junjie, and Min Suan is not a Junjie, but he absolutely knows the current affairs. This was the reason why he stood out from the many relatives of the Min family and was promoted to the second housekeeper. After so many years, he has even cultivated an instinct.

The change in understanding has brought about a series of changes, "You bastard, why don't you come in and change the tea for the county magistrate Tang?" After turning around and drinking, Min Su'an's face was full of joy when he turned his face again, "Master has sent This matter is handed over to Mr. Tang, so what else can I say? Since I have done my best to help, how will this matter be done, Mr. Tang can say nothing."

Excellent, really excellent!With a sigh in his heart, Tang Cheng said with a smile on his face: "In that case, let's discuss the handover first...".

An hour later, Tang Cheng, who had finished his business, got up to leave, but Min Su'an was hospitable and insisted on not allowing him. If you just look at his enthusiasm, people who don't know will definitely think that the two must be life-and-death friends who have known each other for many years. As for the tense situation more than two hours ago, it was as if it had never happened.

Tang Cheng insisted on resigning from Min Su'an's guest on the grounds of asking to see An Biejia, and also rejected his enthusiasm to go with him.There are probably very few people in the Yamen of Guizhou who don't know the second housekeeper. At this sensitive time, Tang Cheng doesn't want to swagger with him.

Even if everyone can understand what's going on after seeing him, he will still insist on it. This is the case in the officialdom. There are many things that can only be done but cannot be said, and there are some things that not only cannot be said, but also cannot be seen by others.Even if everyone knows it well.

When Tang Cheng walked into the government office of Guizhou, it really caused quite a commotion. A few days ago, Niu Zude launched a massive investigation into the Longmen county government. Just got back.

Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Peigong. Everyone is an old yamen, so how can they not know what this kind of investigation means?Tang Cheng, magistrate of Longmen County, is finished. Although the result has not been announced yet, it has already become the consensus of the state government.Some people even joked semi-openly: "Who made that Tang grow up such a handsome face, isn't this an embarrassment for Mr. Shijun, and he will be finished sooner or later based on this."

But... who would have thought that the situation would change so quickly?The investigator, Niu Shijun, was suddenly suspended without any warning, and his property was confiscated. Tang Cheng, the magistrate of Longmen County, was not only not finished, but even the slightest illness was gone, just so energetic Walking in full strides in the state government office, he opened his mouth to meet An Biejia, who is temporarily taking charge of state affairs.

Seeing this scene, the people in the state yamen speculated about the inside story of the accident, apart from lamenting that the world is unpredictable and that anything can happen in this yamen, what else can they say?
