I'm so hard

Chapter 209 Prefect Mo Sheng
That night, Zhao Yan lived in the county government office in order to prevent the Cui family from robbing the prison.

The next day, as soon as he woke up, he heard a piece of news.

Mo Sheng, the magistrate of Ganping Prefecture, came to Xingyuan County.

However, the first thing Mo Sheng did when he came here was not to go to the county government office, nor to the Cui Mansion, but to the Sanniang Bieyuan in the south of the city.

The Sanniang Bieyuan is a tile house, and there is only one woman living in it. It is Xu Sanniang, the former courtesan who was once hired by Cui Yanyan to harass Zhao Yan.

Xu Sanniang used to be Mo Sheng's concubine, and when Mo Sheng came to Xingyuan County, the first thing he thought of was her.

After Zhao Yan heard the news, he couldn't help sighing: "My Dazhou officialdom has really raised a group of lustful and wealthy people!"

It was not until the afternoon, when Mo Sheng had eaten and drank enough, that he came to Cui's house with several guards.

"Second brother-in-law, please come in quickly, father has something important to do with you!" Cui's fifth child said anxiously.

Mo Sheng was taken aback for a moment, and asked, "In Xingyuan County, is there anything that Mr. Taishan can't do?"

"Third brother was arrested and sent to the county government prison?" Cui Laowu said with a frown.

"What? Are you kidding? Then Liu Shiqing is a slave in front of the third child. He has the guts to arrest the third child?" Mo Sheng couldn't believe it.

"No, he didn't catch it, it was the new inspector of the New Deal!"

"Inspector of the New Deal?" Mo Sheng was taken aback, then walked into the hall.

After a while, the patriarch Cui He walked in from behind.

Mo Sheng quickly saluted Cui He.

"Little son-in-law, Mo Sheng, see father-in-law!" Mo Sheng respectfully saluted.

"My son-in-law, please hurry up, I need your help with something! The third child has been imprisoned by the inspector of the New Deal, you must rescue him, and inquire about this Yan Zhao, who is about 20 years old Who is the inspector of the New Deal? If there is no big backer, we must find a way to get rid of him!" Cui He's face became gloomy.

"Father-in-law, the imperial court did set up the position of inspector of the New Deal at the beginning of the New Deal. There were about a dozen of them, and most of them came from the Zhongshu Province and Jixianyuan, but there was no such person as Yan Zhao, and he was only young. At twenty, he is an official of the fifth rank, such an outstanding talent, I should not have heard of it!" Mo Sheng said doubtfully.

"You mean he might be a fake? But his documents were read by Liu Shiqing himself, and they are stamped with the seal of the Ministry of Education!"

"Maybe it was stolen or picked up?" Mo Sheng never believed that there was such an outstanding young man in the imperial court. He had investigated all the children of high-ranking officials and nobles in Changdan City, and his defense was to provoke them. People who should not be provoked.

Cui He thought about it for a while, and said: "You can go to contact him first to find out his confidence. If he has no backing, or even fake, you can use your official position to suppress him. If possible, directly Mobilize the surrounding battalions to catch him and his guards in one go, so as to avoid endless troubles."

"No problem." Cui He responded. He has worked in the state capital for more than ten years, and he is a veteran official. He took a big look at whether the other party was an official, and then said a few words , can immediately determine whether it is true or false.

After staying at Cui's house for more than half an hour, Mo Sheng took six plainclothes guards brought from the mansion to the Xingyuan county government office.

At the gate of the county government.

As soon as Mo Sheng arrived at the door, the plainclothes guard at the side shouted loudly to the yamen servant standing guard in front of the door: "Master Zhifu is here, let your county magistrate come out to greet you!"

The yamen servant quickly ran to report, while Mo Sheng stood in front of the gate of the county yamen with his hands behind his back.

He believes that letting him enter the county government without the guidance of the magistrate is a desecration of his prefect status.

At this moment, Zhao Yan and Liu Shiqing were drinking tea in the shade of the backyard.

"Master Inspectorate, Lord Magistrate, Lord Mo the Prefect is here, and he is waiting to greet you at the gate!" the yamen official reported.

Liu Shiqing raised his eyebrows and said: "There is no magistrate in the court of my Great Zhou Dynasty who came to the county office. The magistrate has to come to the gate to greet him. You report to the magistrate and say that I am busy and cannot greet him from a distance. Let him come in by himself." !"

After all, Liu Shiqing took a sip of tea with a very contented expression.

Now he has completely let himself go.

He had already figured it out, as long as he didn't do anything harmful to nature, at most he would be dismissed from office, and at worst he would go home and farm.

In the next days when he was the magistrate, he would not flatter anyone or compliment anyone, and he would just be himself.

Zhao Yan smiled and didn't speak, he liked this lovely Liu Shiqing a little bit.

After the prefect Mo Sheng heard this, his beard cocked up in anger.

Immediately, he strode in with the guards and went straight to the backyard.

Then, he saw Liu Shiqing drinking tea with Zhao Yan.

Liu Shiqing waited for Mo Sheng to come to him, then he stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is here, the officials have not greeted you from afar, so I am disrespectful and disrespectful."

Zhao Yan at the side also stood up, cupped his hands slightly and said, "Prefect Mo, you're being polite!"

Mo Sheng glared at Liu Shiqing, then looked at Zhao Yan and said, "Are you Yan Zhao, the new policy inspector sent by the imperial court to inspect all directions?"

"It's the lower official." Zhao Yan said with a smile. Although he was half a level lower than the other party, he was sent by the court after all, and his promotion was far more likely than a magistrate.

"Is there a document from the Ministry of Education?" Mo Sheng asked suspiciously.

Hei Wa at the side immediately took out the document from his arms and handed it to Mo Sheng.

Mo Sheng looked at it carefully, and after confirming that it was true, he returned it to Hei Wa.

"Inspector Yan, I used to walk around Changdan City. A 20-year-old civil servant like my lord is a rare talent. He should be famous in Changdan. Why hasn't I heard of your lord's reputation?" Momo asked aloud.

Mo Sheng had indeed been shopping in Changdan, but most of the people he visited were Goulanwazi. A small official like him would catch a lot of people in Changdan, and no one would pay him any attention.

Zhao Yan smiled lightly, the other party was obviously looking for flaws in his identity!

"This inspector has always acted in a low-key manner. He is dedicated to learning. He doesn't go out often, and he doesn't go to various fireworks places. It's normal for adults not to know."

"Then I don't know who the patrol envoy is under the tutelage of?" Mo Sheng asked again.

"Family teacher, Pan Wenyue, is now a magistrate in Shuzhou. His old man loves poetry and Fu, and his favorite food is white deer soup. He has a wife, two concubines and three daughters, and he is best at Korean..."

Zhao Yan uttered almost all of Pan Wenyue's hobbies and habits in one breath, and some of them were even very private things that people who were not close relatives would not know about.

Although Mo Sheng didn't know most of the things, but he was able to explain in such detail, and Zhao Yan's image, temperament and style of conversation were different, he already believed it almost [-]% of the time.

"Prefect Mo, I don't know if what I said is detailed?" Zhao Yan asked back.

A bright smile appeared on Mo Sheng's face immediately, and then he said: "It turns out that he is Deputy Prime Minister Pan's disciple, sorry for your disrespect!"

On the other hand, Liu Shiqing was overjoyed. If Pan Wenyue was the inspector's backer, then he would not be afraid of anything!
