Chapter 472

Ding Tongzhi's prediction was right, Liang Zhifu did not come down with new orders for a long time, and indeed encountered obstacles.

This obstacle comes from the prefects of Linhe Prefecture and Jinling Prefecture.

The prefect Gong of Linhe Prefecture and the prefect Tan of Jinling Prefecture didn't know what was going on, and they didn't respond to the prefect Liang's statement that the three prefectures encircled the water bandits in the Huaishui River.

Liang Zhifu was in a hurry, so he went to Linhe Mansion to find Gong Zhifu, wanting to ask him why he didn't cooperate?As a result, he was scolded by the prefect Gong.

Gong Zhifu scolded Liang Zhifu: "Lord Liang, you should know that encircling water bandits across state capitals and mobilizing the defenders of the three prefectures is a major event. Such a major event can only be carried out with official documents from the capital. You are a small prefect, and you dare to do it." For such a big matter, you can find your own death, but don't drag me into this official."

Liang Zhifu said: "Water bandits have done a lot of evil. They have injured many lives on both sides of the Huai River these years. Shouldn't they be suppressed? As for the official documents of the capital, I have already signed up. The official documents of the capital will come down soon. Worried. Prefect Gong only needs to inform the defenders of Linhe Prefecture to get them ready to ensure that when the official document from the capital comes down, the defenders of Linhe Prefecture can immediately move to Huaishui."

Gong Zhifu smiled: "Then let's wait until the official document from the capital comes down. Before the official document comes down, I won't issue any orders."

Governor Liang choked, and simply brought up an imperial decree issued by the first emperor of Dachu: "The emperor of Dachu once ordered that if there is banditry in Dachu territory, the state capitals don't have to wait for the official document from the capital, and they should jointly suppress the bandits. Help the people get rid of their troubles."

Zhifu Gong stood up directly and said: "The emperor has been on the throne for many years, and now the emperor is in charge. I am a minister of the current emperor. I only listen to the current emperor. Let's talk about it after the official document from the capital comes down."

Liang Zhifu saw that Gong Zhifu was tough and refused to agree to death, so he had to change his words: "If Gong Zhifu is unwilling to help, can it be convenient for the defenders of He'an Prefecture to go to Huaishui?"

Prefect Gong almost died laughing, pointed at Prefect Liang and said, "Prefect Liang, let his guards cross the border, you can say that, you really want to rebel!"

Liang Zhifu retorted: "Great Chu's criminal law, if there is an emergency, half of the soldiers defending the army can use other state capitals to cross the border. Those who dare to stop other state capitals should be sentenced as delaying the military situation!"

Zhifu Gong said with a disdainful smile: "Prefect Liang, are you trying to tell me about the criminal laws of the Great Chu? There is such a thing, and the suppression of bandits is indeed within the range of urgency. But how do I know that Liang Zhifu is To suppress bandits or to do some shady deeds?"

Zhifu Gong's words were extremely ugly, and Zhifu Liang's face turned dark in an instant.

Seeing this, the prefect Gong said again: "How about this, you hand over the evidence of the crimes committed by the Huaishui water bandits to the Linhe government office. After discussing with several adults and the guard General Tang, I will decide whether to let it go or not." The defenders of He'an Mansion borrowed the way."

Liang Zhifu narrowed his eyes when he heard this, and felt that it was unreasonable for Gong Zhifu to make things difficult for him.

It has not been a hundred years since the establishment of the Great Chu. In the past few decades, there were many wars. In order to wipe out the private soldiers and Wubao left behind by the previous dynasty, the government troops in various places in the Great Chu often marched by road.Last year and the beginning of this year, when the war was in full swing, the defenders of the various prefectures often used the means to counter the rebellion, and there was never any prefecture to stop them.

But this time, why did Prefect Gong make so many excuses, just not helping?

Liang Zhifu had no choice but to ask his staff to copy a copy of the criminal evidence of the water bandit and hand it to the Linhe government office.

Then, he ran to Jinling Mansion to ask to see the prefect Tan.

Prefect Tan can sit on the position of prefect of Jinling Prefecture, so he is not a person without backing.He was born in the Marquis Mansion of Ruyang, the capital city, and is the son of the Marquis Mansion. After being admitted as a Jinshi, he had a successful career in official career, and became the magistrate of Linhe Mansion as soon as he was released.Three years later, he was transferred to be the magistrate of Jinling Prefecture, and he stayed on both sides of the Huai River for more than eight years.As long as he works for another year, Tan Zhifu will be able to return to Beijing, and he is very likely to enter the cabinet in the future.

Prefect Tan didn't like Prefect Liang at all. He didn't see him, so he had someone send a message to him so that he could do it for himself.

Liang Zhifu was stunned when he heard this: "What do you mean by Tan Zhifu's words?"

The staff of Tan Zhifu sneered and said: "What do you mean? Liang Zhifu, don't you feel that you have too much control? You are the prefect of He'an Prefecture, but you have managed the Huai River. I want to ask you, which family is your family? Dazu, the founder of the country, ah? How dare you be so presumptuous!"

The staff felt that the prefect of Liang was a guy who was tired of work and looking for death.

What happened to the water bandits?Did the water bandits go to the Yamen of He'an Prefecture?He didn't kill the door, but he did a few cases. Is it necessary for Liang Zhifu to take care of it?

"The Huaishui water bandits have been around for many years, and no one has seen anyone go to suppress them. Liang Zhifu is an ambitious man who dares to suppress the Huaishui water bandits. Already dead."

After the aide finished speaking these yin and yang, he turned and left, leaving Liang Zhifu alone.

Master Wu behind Liang Zhifu persuaded: "My lord, go back to the inn first, rest at the inn, and then think of other ways."

Liang Zhifu had no choice but to go back to the station.

The next day, I went to the government office of Jinling Mansion again, but the door was still closed. I went back to the post in frustration, packed my things, and was about to go back to He'an Mansion, but two servants came and invited him to be a guest. .

Liang Zhifu was very puzzled: "A guest? Whose family are you from? I don't have any old friends in Jinling Mansion."

Those two servants were dressed in extraordinary clothes, both wearing expensive brocade gowns, and they cupped their hands at Liang Zhifu and said: "You will know when Liang Zhifu goes."

He also said: "This trip is beneficial to the prefect of Liang, please go with the little ones quickly, and don't keep the master waiting for a long time."

Liang Zhifu suddenly remembered something that the county magistrate Xu said, and immediately understood, changed into new clothes with Master Wu, and left with the two servants.

They were taken to a painting boat outside Jinling Mansion, and met the son of County Magistrate Xu.

Because he was acquainted with County Magistrate Xu, County Magistrate Xu took his son to visit Liang Zhifu, Liang Zhifu recognized him, and hurriedly said: "Xu family boy, why are you here?"

The son of County Magistrate Xu is a rather honest young man. After saluting to Liang Zhifu, he said: "It is the young master of the Zheng family and the official family looking for you."

Liang Zhifu's eyes lit up, he guessed right.

While talking, a few people walked out of the painting boat, leading by two handsome men, it was Zheng Ying and Shang Guan Zhuo, behind them were Gu Jin'an, Shang Xiucai, and Jiang Jiao.

Zheng Ying said with a smile: "Prefect Liang has been rejected? Don't worry, we have a big gift for Prefect Liang."

After saying that, he looked at Shangguan Zhuo.

Shangguan Zhuo took out a box and handed it to Liang Zhifu: "Liang Zhifu, please take a look."

Liang Zhifu took it, opened it, and the aggrievedness in his heart disappeared, and he laughed immediately: "It is really a great gift. With this great gift, the matter of encircling the water bandits can be regarded as completed."

Liang Zhifu bowed to Zheng Ying and Shangguan Zhuo: "I thank you two sons for your help."
