Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 174 Unstable Factors in Jizhou Prefecture

Just like the case of Song Qixun which was personally handled by Yang Qian, it appears to be a corruption issue on the surface, but there are greater hidden dangers behind it.

The problem behind Song Qixun was evil spirits and bandits, while the file in Yang Qian's hand was backed by a huge monster.

The words "Xiao Yun used his power to suppress others" or "used his power to force others" always appear in the files.

Xiao Yun is Yang Qian’s predecessor, and now he has gone to a mass grave.

To be frank, although the Patrol Office has considerable power in Jizhou Prefecture, there is still the Master, the Left and Right Prefecture Offices, and the Prefecture Master above them. It is far from being able to cover the sky with one hand.

Moreover, where does the "power" in "using power to suppress others" mentioned in the file come from?

Since it is not your own "power", it can only be borrowed "power".

Yang Qian had just arrived, so he didn't know where Xiao Yun's influence came from. But he wasn't stupid, and since Liu Chuan wanted to test him, he had to go into detail. There was nothing wrong with the files, the problem was outside the files, and it was a big problem. Otherwise, such a big case was covered up with just the word "influence", and they didn't even dare to mention where this "influence" came from. It was very unusual no matter how you looked at it.

The only explanation is that this "force" is unusual and its origin is probably beyond Yang Qian's imagination.

"Do you know whose fief our Jizhou Prefecture belongs to?"

Yang Qian was shocked when Liu Chuan said this, and he immediately understood where the "momentum" he guessed most likely came from.

Yang Qian didn't dare to speak, but just nodded. Of course he knew whose fiefdom Jizhou Prefecture belonged to.

Yue Wang Zhou Zhong!

Prince Yue is also the fourth uncle of the current Hongwu Emperor. It is said that the Queen entered the palace with the help of Prince Yue.

Therefore, this Yue Wang not only has a noble status, but also a very high position. He also has considerable power in the royal family. He is definitely not the kind of prince who stays at home and no one cares about him.

Moreover, there were not many princes in the Hongwu Dynasty. There were only six in total, and three of them died. This further highlighted the prominent status of Prince Yue.

As for fiefdoms, the rule during the Hongwu Dynasty was: only enjoy taxes, not rights.

This means that the prince can enjoy a portion of the taxes in the fiefdom to maintain a decent and luxurious life, but he has no right to interfere with any power in the fiefdom.

"Prince Yue has always had a lot of say in the royal family, and has a close relationship with Your Majesty. It is not an exaggeration to say that Prince Yue is the number one prince in the Hongwu Dynasty."

Yang Qian closed his mouth even tighter after hearing this. At the same time, he could also sense that Liu Chuan, a senior official of the Hongwu Dynasty, was obviously very dissatisfied with Prince Yue, and his words were full of undisguised sarcasm.

“So Yue Wang actually has influence on every aspect of Jizhou Prefecture.

All the most profitable businesses were involved in Yue Wang's retainers, and no one dared to refuse. The result of refusing was that a disaster would suddenly happen, the person would die, and the family business would then run into someone else's hands.

People like Xiao Yun are just Yue Wang's thugs. Cases similar to his happen almost every year. They are endless!"

Liu Chuan stared at Yang Qian and said, "You have the courage to go to Mount Paektu alone, slay demons and thieves, and you are a junior master of the Five Thunder Palace. Do you have the courage to deal with the first prince of the Hongwu Dynasty?"

Liu Chuan came straight to the point and expressed his feelings, and it depended on whether Yang Qian dared to agree.

Why did the transfer order take more than a month?
Liu Chuan had someone investigate Yang Qian's three generations of ancestors thoroughly. As for whether Yang Qian would follow Xiao Yun's old path, no one knew. Liu Chuan had to take the gamble, and he had his reasons for winning.

Yang Qian is already in a high position, how can he say no? And he can't be dismissed on his first day in office, right?

"I am entirely at the command of the Lord!" Yang Qian knew that it didn't matter whether he was willing or not, he just had to be obedient.

Besides, if we can get a prince, we can definitely make a lot of money, right?
Thinking about the numerous places on his experience panel that required experience, although Yang Qian was afraid of trouble, he did not rule out giving it a try.

"Very good! I heard from Cui Mingsheng that you are very good at planning. I won't tell you much, just be prepared. Get familiar with the environment first, and think about it yourself. I'll give you half a year, and then I want to see your detailed strategy. Do you understand?"

"I understand!" Yang Qian quickly responded. He didn't expect that Liu Chuan would put a heavy burden on his shoulders before he even knew where his government office was. It would be hard to survive in the prefecture in the future!
"That's good. But Yang Qian, I still want to remind you. Xiao Yun is a lesson for you, and even the three people before him are all lessons for you. Prince Yue doesn't care who is helping him, nor does he care whether the people who are helping him are dead or alive.

No matter how nice the words sound, it is clearer to look at what happened to these people.

Yang Qian, take care of yourself! "

That's enough. Yang Qian bowed again. Then Liu Chuan waved his hand, telling Yang Qian to go down, get familiar with the environment first, and find a way to break through before talking about other things.

Coming out of Liu Chuan's official residence, Yang Qian was led by Huang Ping'an, the left official of the Ministry of Households, to the prefectural police station across the street from the government office, which was also where he would work in the future.

Although the Patrol Office was directly responsible to the governor, it was still subordinate to the police station and was still a subordinate department of the police station. The chief constable of the prefecture was still Yang Qian's superior.

When he arrived at the police station, the person who came to pick up Yang Qian was an "acquaintance" whom he had met once.

Zhou Yiming, the chief constable of the Dizi Banner Squad of the prefecture, had been to Sandao City with his lawyer Pang Yi before, for the case of Song Qixun. Yang Qian had also met him before.

Now, when they met, Zhou Yiming, the big shot to whom he had to bow respectfully in the past, now had to bow first when he saw him.

"Master Yang, I haven't seen you for a long time. You look even more elegant than before!" Zhou Yiming bowed first, not awkward or awkward at all, and smiled widely, as if he was very familiar with Yang Qian. There was no sign of any embarrassment caused by the huge change in status.

"Master Zhou, thank you for your help."

"Hahaha, what are you talking about, Lord Yang? You and I are already familiar with each other, and I took the initiative to ask the chief constable for this job today. After you meet the chief constable, I will take you around the police station!"

This is a man who is good at dancing and smooth. Yang Qian made a judgment in his heart, kept a restrained smile on his face, and said with a cupped hand: "Thank you very much, Lord Zhou."

The chief constable of the provincial police station was Zhang Jun, a taciturn middle-aged man. Yang Qian went in to meet him, and Zhang Jun spoke less than ten sentences to Yang Qian, and did not give any instructions on any business. It was clear that he was just trying to save face with Yang Qian, and did not want to care or care.

Then, under Zhou Yiming's guidance, Yang Qian went around the police station inside and out, and finally went to the patrol department.

"Master Yang, this is your territory. You can go in by yourself. I won't accompany you. In addition, I have organized a party tonight. It is full of people from the government office and the police station. I want to welcome Master Yang. I hope Master Yang will do me the honor of coming!"

Yang Qian also wanted to get acquainted with the people in the provincial capital first, so after a few polite words, he nodded and accepted the invitation.

After Zhou Yiming left, Yang Qian turned around and looked at the courtyard behind him. On the gate of the courtyard were three big characters "Xun'ansi". Inside the gate was silence, which was completely different from the busy appearance of other police officers in the police station.

It's broad daylight, is there no one inside?
As he thought about it, Yang Qian walked in with a stern face.
