Chapter 225 Inspector of Chuzhou
"Destroy the county magistrate, destroy the family and assassinate the history."

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the administration of officials was fairly clear, but in this Shanyang County, which was not well known to the court officials, Li Ke also saw the dark side of the prefecture and county government.

If a county lieutenant is like this, wouldn't his subordinate officers be even more insane?
Li Ke originally thought that the salt industry was powerful because of its wealth, but he didn't expect their hands to stretch so long and their courage to grow so big.

Li Ke had heard from Xianniang that the salt shop was tyrannical before, but he didn't believe it. He wanted to go to Yangzhou to investigate, but before he arrived in Yangzhou, he had clearly seen the Huainan salt shop. The trend of action.

Although Shanyang does not belong to Yangzhou, it is also within Huainan Road. Most of them have nothing to do with the salt shops in Yangzhou. It is exactly the same, Li Ke also had other thoughts, and wanted to beat them before arriving in Yangzhou.

Because Li Ke didn't go to Yangzhou to be a puppet at the mercy of others, or just a superficial governor of Yangzhou. After he went, he would take control of Yangzhou and become the real lord of Yangzhou. It is a stumbling block that Li Ke must overcome.

"Just now in the lobby of the tavern, you blatantly obstructed the captain from enforcing the law, but are you still convicted?" As soon as you arrived at the inner hall of the county government, the county captain pointed at Li Ke and asked in a cold voice.

Li Ke looked at the county magistrate, and asked: "The more you abuse the salt and luggage, the more you want to cut off people's wrists. I will speak up and fight for injustice. The county magistrate will not first ask about the crime of salt crimes, but first talk about my faults. I don't know what is wrong." Why?"

The county captain said: "I didn't see the conflict between Yan Liyue and Wu Liuzhi, so I still need witnesses. I have already ordered someone to pass it on. You obstructed my law enforcement, and it was indeed my witness. , the evidence is conclusive, could it be that you can still deny it?"

Li Ke snorted softly and said, "I just said a few words of justice for Wu Liu because I saw a rough road. Could it be that I have sinned too?"

The county captain said: "The road is uneven? In my opinion, you and Wu Liu are relatives. The two colluded with each other to deliberately ruin the business of the salt company."

Li Ke replied with a smile: "When I first arrived in Shanyang, I didn't know the people in Yanhang. Why do you want to do business with bad people? What's more, you said that Wu Liu is my relative and colluded with me. You may come up with evidence." .”

Li Ke is the emperor's son, so who should his relatives be? What the county lieutenant said is naturally extremely absurd.

But the county captain saw that Li Ke would not give in, and he was already angered by Li Ke. First, he thought that Li Ke was young and vigorous, and second, that Li Ke was spoiled since he was a child, so he had a little temper, so he said coldly : "Evidence, since you have come to our government office, you naturally have evidence."

As the county lieutenant said, he waved his hands, and the yamen servant behind him stepped forward, intending to grab someone.

It was Li Ke who voluntarily wanted to return to the Yamen, although the county captain, Xi Junmai would naturally not intervene, but now there is a Yamen servant who wants to be rough on Li Ke, how can Xi Junmai stay, he clenched his fist and stood in front of Li Ke. In front of Ke, he looked at the yamen servant who was about to step forward without any fear, and said loudly: "If anyone dares to touch a hair of my son today, I will kill him."

Xi Junmai has the ability to fight tigers, and usually more than a dozen elite imperial guards are not close to him, let alone these yamen servants with poor martial arts in front of him.

These yamen servants may be acceptable to ordinary people, but they are not enough in front of Xi Junmai.

Others don't know Mr. Xi's ability to buy, but Li Yue has suffered in his hands. Li Yue said to the county captain: "Be careful, Captain, this person is quite powerful and very arrogant."

The county lieutenant didn't take Li Yue's words seriously. In his opinion, Xi Junmai was just taller and stronger than ordinary people. No matter how powerful he was, could he still be able to fight against more than ten yamen servants?

The county lieutenant is not afraid of him making a move, as long as he makes a move, it is a crime against the court, which is solid evidence.

But what the county lieutenant had expected did not happen, because when the county government servants were about to do something, there was a news from someone running outside the door. The plan fell through, and his life was saved.

According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, although confronting the court is a serious crime, some people are not included in it.

"Reporting to the county captain, Lord Inspector is here." The visitor ran into the hall and said to the county captain in the hall.

Lord Inspector?

The county lieutenant never expected that the governor would come here suddenly, which really caught him off guard.

It was only a moment before the person who reported the letter entered the door, and Fang An, the governor of Chuzhou, walked in quickly.

"Lord Inspector, I don't know why you are here." Seeing Fang An entering, the county captain hurried forward to pay homage.

The county lieutenant stepped forward to show his courtesy, but Fang An, the governor, ignored the county lieutenant. Instead, he went up to Li Ke and said, "Fang didn't know that the young master was here, so he couldn't greet you personally. I hope you don't blame the young master."

The county lieutenant has a low position and has never met Li Ke, but Fang An is the governor of Chuzhou. He has to go to Beijing to report his post every year. He has seen Li Ke more than once in the court. Naturally, he remembers Li Ke's appearance, but Li Ke has not shown it. The real name, of course, is not to reveal his identity. Fang An didn't call him Lord Li Ke when he stepped forward, but just called him the son of worship.

Fang An knew Li Ke, and Li Ke also knew Fang An. Li Ke saw Fang An enter, helped Fang An up, and said with a smile, "So it's Fang Inspector, what's wrong with Fang Inspector, if Fang Inspector wasn't here today, Listening to what this county lieutenant said, I'm afraid I might not be able to walk out of the Shanyang county office in one piece, and if I have time someday, I should return to my father and tell Fang the governor's merits."

Li Ke's words sounded polite, as if he was pleading for credit for Fang An, but there was no sign of relaxation on Fang An's face.

Li Ke was extremely favored by Li Shimin, unlike ordinary princes, Li Ke was taken into the yamen right under his nose in his territory in Chuzhou, if Li Shimin knew about this, there would be no good fruit for him.

Hearing this, Fang An hurriedly said: "Young master really offended Fang. The fact here is that Fang is not strict with his subordinates. How dare you use your jade pen and hope that you will hold your hands high."

Fang An is not a mediocre official, he has some skills. This year is his third year in Chuzhou. In the previous two years, he was selected as "top" in the end-of-year examinations of the official department. If he is selected again this year If you choose "Up", you can be transferred to a higher promotion.Either be transferred to Shangzhou governor, or be an important official in the two capitals. If you are lucky, you may even be transferred to the six departments and nine prisons as the official official.

If it was really a letter from Li Ke that entered the capital, let alone a high promotion, it is unknown whether his head can be kept.

The county lieutenant at the side didn't know what it meant when he heard Fang An's words.

Fang An, the governor of Chuzhou, a majestic fourth-rank official, was a person he used to look at Wan Zai Yun, but now he stood obediently in front of Li Ke, calling himself a disciple, Li Ke's What should be the identity?

No need to say another word, the county captain suddenly felt that all the strength in his body had been drained, he couldn't stand stably, and fell to the ground.

Fang An glanced back at the county lieutenant lying on the ground, as if looking at a half-dead person, paused, and said to Li Ke: "Young master, don't worry, Mr. Fang will give you a satisfactory explanation for today's affairs, and don't make it difficult for you. .”
