Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 151 The Strong Dragon Does Not Overcome the Snake

After sitting on the bench in Zhang Yichen's living room for a long time, he finally saw Shanshan's belated magistrate Zhang Yichen.

"I've kept you waiting for a long time. I wasted a little time discussing business matters with Lieutenant Du." Zhang Yichen came in and said. After a few days of absence, he seemed a little haggard.The wrinkles between the eyebrows are deeper, and the beard is not well groomed.

"The county magistrate's business is important, and Luo Cheng has nothing to do."

"The tea is cold, how do these people wait, come, serve tea, and bring the good tea from my study." Zhang Yichen shouted a little unhappy.

Zhang Yichen looked at Luo Cheng, thinking that he could see anger and dissatisfaction on Luo Cheng's face, but what he saw was only calm, which surprised him a bit.

"Shicheng, is it okay to move out of the city? Has the new camp been built? I was going to see it, but there have been too many things lately. There are too many things involved in making chaos together. But the aftermath has been cleaned up a lot. In addition, Chengxian Cheng and Fei Zhubu were called to the county to be held accountable, and now the affairs in the yamen are all on the head of Duxianwei and me, and we are devastated every day."

"The county magistrate has worked hard."

After a few words of politeness, Zhang Yichen took the initiative to say, "I heard that there is some misunderstanding between you and County Captain Du?"

"Not really. If Lieutenant Du feels offended, I can go and apologize to him. But I believe that Lieutenant Du can't have that kind of capacity. Since the county lieutenant took office, he whipped my brother and fired me. Waiting for a job, driving me out of the city, and now depriving me of my permanent and professional land, pressing step by step, it is really incomprehensible to me."

"The [-] mu of Yongye land and the position land were distributed to you by me at the beginning. Captain Du said that it was against the rules and insisted on taking it back. Although I persuaded him, it was the only way to do it in the end. This matter was something I had considered before. It's not a week."

Zhang Yichen waited for the tea to come, and made it for Luo Cheng himself.

"Shicheng, I know you have resentment in your heart, but County Captain Du also acts impartially."

Luo Cheng was a little impatient to say polite words to Zhang Yichen, so he said bluntly, "Master, I, Luo Cheng, was picked up by you. I was originally just a peasant in the countryside, but the Lord made an exception and promoted me to be a police officer." , and later asked me to be a headhunter, I Luocheng step by step to today, is to make you love."

"It's because of your own ability, outstanding achievements in catching thieves and suppressing bandits, and the favor of the county magistrate that you are what you are today. I can't help you much."

"Your envoy, the prefect of the county is my teacher, but in Zhangqiu County, I am the envoy's person. When I brought the township regiment into the city to clean up the three yamen, I was also ordered by the envoy. After I took over the three yamen, I didn't do it. Whatever outrageous things you do, you have to abide by the order of the envoy.”

"But now, when Lieutenant Du came, he dismissed us all, and even drove the county barracks out of the city. By doing this, he not only bullied me, Luo Cheng, but also ignored you, envoy. After all, you are the county magistrate of Zhangqiu, and Du Ruhui is just a captain of Zhangqiu county, and he is a newcomer, but to act like this is too domineering."

When it comes to this matter, Zhang Yichen no longer hides it.

Sighing, "Shicheng, why don't I know what you said, but I also have my helplessness."

"Emissary, even if Du Ruhui is from the famous Jingzhao Du family, even if he is the grandson of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, but this is Zhangqiu County after all. In this county government, if you, Zhang Shijun, cannot even maintain the honor of the county magistrate, then Who will be the chief official in the future? How will you walk in the officialdom again in the future?"

"You can't even manage a second officer, will the higher-ups trust you to take on a more important position in the future?"

Du Ruhui's various actions in Zhangqiu City were actually carried out with the support of Zhang Yichen, after all, Zhang Yichen was the county magistrate.

To put it bluntly, Zhang Yichen has a veto power in Zhangqiu's affairs.

Without his consent, what would Du Ruhui do? Even if he was the son of the Minister of Industry, he still couldn't beat Zhang Yichen in this place.

But Zhang Yichen was afraid of Du Ruhui's sharpness, or fear of his Jingzhao Du family's reputation, so he compromised everywhere, and this is how Du Ruhui is now.

"My lord, you managed to drive away Cheng Xiancheng and Fei Zhubu who were sitting on a vegetarian diet, and cleared out those treacherous subordinates before. Finally, you can make a difference and show your strengths, but now you let Du County lieutenant Are you willing to control the county government?"

Are you willing?
Of course Zhang Yichen was not reconciled, he was only in his early thirties after all, he was also a descendant of a noble family, and he was conceited in his talents, so he finally got rid of the shackles of the Zhangqiu yamen, and finally let Du Ruhui come to pick the peaches.

Picking up the teacup, Zhang Yichen lost the slightest smile on his face.

"Shicheng, has your cousin Qin Qiong contacted you recently?" Zhang Yichen asked suddenly.

"There is a correspondence, my cousin is training at Denglai Water Port."

"Oh, I intend to betroth my little girl to Qin Qiong, what do you think?" He asked again.

Luo Cheng was surprised, how could you ask him such a thing.

"This is a good thing." After thinking about it, Luo Cheng said.

"I have already invited a matchmaker to Licheng to propose marriage to Qin's mother, but Qin's mother said that she would consider it. Shicheng, I am very optimistic about Qin Qiong. I think he is talented and capable, and I want to recruit him to be a quick husband. You and Shubao has a good relationship, I want you to mention this matter in a letter with Shubao, and I also want you to write to Zhang Juncheng in the county, asking him to help protect a matchmaker."

"can."

Luo Cheng did not refuse, he felt that Zhang Yichen suddenly turned to this topic at this time, as if he wanted to get closer to their relationship.After he refused Zhang Yichen's marriage last time, there was indeed a crack in their relationship.

Sure enough, after he agreed, a smile appeared on Zhang Yichen's face.

"Okay, if this marriage is completed, then we are also relatives."

The atmosphere changes.

Zhang Yichen picked up the teacup and put it down again, "About County Du, what do you think I should do?"

"My lord, the key is to be in power. You are the county magistrate, so you can't let the county magistrate Du take you out. And the key lies in the two rooms and three shifts."

"But Du Xianwei has cleaned up the two rooms and three shifts and replaced them with candidates, all of whom belong to him."

Luo Cheng then said to Zhang Yichen, "It's not that there is no solution to this matter. Although Lieutenant Du brought some aides and entourages, the subordinate officials of the second house and third class in this county are still selected from the county. Lieutenant Du doesn't know much about these people, and some of them are the former servants in the Yamen and the officials in the village."

"As long as the county magistrate is willing to investigate, they will be able to find out the problems of these people, and then they can be replaced in a legitimate way. Then, if someone who has been trusted by the county magistrate is selected to take charge of the two houses and three yamen, then Du County Although Wei is a dragon crossing the river, he can't make any waves."

He retreated again and again, but since Du Ruhui refused to give him a chance and insisted on forcing him away, Luo Cheng didn't want to be polite to him anymore.

No matter what kind of conspiracy he has, no matter whether he has crossed the river or not, he is now a local snake, if you provoke him, you will fight.
