Fortunate Young Gentleman

Chapter 268: Looking for trouble

My father-in-law is a man who can't hide things in his heart, and his emotions are clearly written on the website.

The water in the capital is deep and muddy, not as good as Lingzhou, and there are naturally more twists and turns in the officialdom. The magistrate of Ping An is in a very awkward position in the capital where the city is full of powerful people.

The cause of this incident was the conflict between him and Zhao Xiancheng.

After the original Ping'an County Magistrate was demoted, according to common practice, the county magistrate's post would be temporarily replaced by the county magistrate. In most cases, if the county magistrate had been temporarily replaced for a long time, he would naturally be promoted to the official seal of the county.

Zhaoxian Cheng has already had enough experience in this position. He thought that if the original county magistrate committed a crime and was dismissed, he would be able to quickly become the main palace. Unexpectedly, His Majesty's decree parachuted down a county magistrate, and he still remained Sitting firmly in his second spot.

A county magistrate who doesn't want to be a county magistrate is not a good county magistrate. Except for Tang Ning, who is content with the status quo and hugs Xiaoxiao every day, teaches Xiaoxiao how to read, discusses with Fang Xiaoyue how to make mille-feuille cake, and bickers with Fairy Tang when she's bored. No matter how boring it is, counting banknotes will feel like a salted fish at the pinnacle of life. A normal person has dreams and pursuits.

As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. This Zhao county magistrate has been running the county government for many years. In terms of control over the county government, naturally he cannot compare with an airborne county magistrate.

The fast-moving yamen servants in the yamen could order and prohibit what he said, and were more willing to listen to him, the county magistrate, than to his father-in-law.

After the father-in-law took office, there was actually a small friction between the two. Later, because of the seizure of the *, he established some authority in the county government, and Zhao Xian Cheng was able to live in peace for some time.

In recent days, the other party has intensified his efforts, and together with other officials in the county government, there is a tendency to exclude him.

Although the county magistrate is the official seal of the county, he cannot fully control the affairs within the county government. It is not uncommon for the county magistrate to evade the county magistrate in local county governments.

Peng Chen looked at him and said: "Even though your Excellency is determined to rectify the situation, many of the county government servants and officials are obeying Your Majesty's words. As a result, Your Excellency will naturally be restrained in doing things."

Tangning thought for a while and asked, "Don't you have any people of your own in this county government?"

"Yes." Peng Chen nodded and said, "If your Excellency hadn't united several officials a long time ago, there wouldn't be a stalemate between the two parties now."

A stalemate is not good for anyone. There is always one party who wants to break the deadlock and waits for others to break it. It is better to break it yourself and at least take the initiative.

Tangning thought for a while, looked at him and said, "You're like this..."

After hearing this, Peng Chen was stunned and asked, "How can you take the initiative to look for trouble?"

Tangning looked at him and said, "You are a head catcher, so you can just find any excuse. Do you still want me to teach you about this kind of thing?"

Peng Chen thought for a while, nodded and said, "I understand."

"You can teach me." Tangning nodded and walked back to the back office.

Peng Chen walked out of the front office, looked at a policeman in the courtyard, and waved: "Wei San, come here."

Wei San came over, looked at him with his head tilted, and said in a disdainful tone: "Peng Captou, are you okay?"

When the county magistrate was there, he, Wei Sancai, was the head catcher of Ping'an County Government. After the current magistrate Zhong came, he was demoted to a squad leader and replaced by the head catcher Peng. Look at this Peng surnamed person. It's unpleasant everywhere.

After the county magistrate has completely ousted Magistrate Zhong, he will be the first to arrest him.

Peng Chen glanced at him and asked, "Where is your hat?"

Wei San glanced at him sideways and said, "I forgot to wear it."

"Forgot to wear it?" Peng Chen slapped him in the face and said coldly: "Your image is the image of the county government. Who told you not to wear a hat? Have you ever seen a county magistrate rise to court without wearing an official hat? hat?"

Wei San was stunned in place, half of his face was burning, and a dark palm print was clearly visible.

"Peng, you are going too far!" Wei San reacted, covering his face and glaring at him. Just as he said this, Peng Chen slapped him on the other side of the face.

"You are still reasonable without wearing a hat!"

"you……"

"What are you?"

"Just wait for me!"

Wei San glared at him, covered his face and ran away.

A good man never suffers any immediate losses. Peng is very skilled and is no match for him. However, the county magistrate has long been dissatisfied with Magistrate Zhong for his support of Peng. This time, the magistrate can take advantage of this opportunity and withdraw his arrest. head!

In a side hall of the county government office, County Magistrate Zhao looked at Wei San and asked, "Peng Captou beat you for no reason?"

Wei San nodded repeatedly and said: "Sir, he slapped his subordinate twice because he didn't wear a hat. This clearly shows that he doesn't take you seriously. Maybe it was secretly ordered by Magistrate Zhong!"

Beating a dog depends on the owner. County Magistrate Zhao frowned and said, "Zhong Mingli, Zhong Mingli, after enduring it for so long, have you finally declared war on me?"

He sneered and said, "I want to see how he explains this matter to me!"

A figure walked in from outside the door. Zhao Yun'er looked at him and asked, "Dad, do you have to have trouble with Magistrate Zhong?"

"What do you, a girl, know?" Zhao Xiancheng glanced at her and said, "Go back to your room and stay there. Don't look for Zhong Mingli's daughter again!"

He said coldly and strode out of the door.

Zhao Yun'er stood there, tears welling up in her eyes. After a long time, she wiped her eyes and slowly walked out of the room.

In a certain hall of the county government, Tang Ning looked at Peng Chen and said speechlessly: "I asked you to find a reason at will, and you can also find a better reason, such as inability to do things, being passive and slow in work, etc. What is the reason for not wearing a hat? "

Peng Chen asked calmly: "Isn't this a reason?"

"What do you think?"

Zhong Mingli took a few steps in the hall and said: "It doesn't matter if you have a clear falling out with County Magistrate Zhao. Although it will cause discord in the county government, we can't let him continue to cause trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, a government servant walked in and said, "Sir, County Magistrate Zhao is here."

Tang Ning retreated to the back hall, and Zhao Xian Cheng walked in from the door.

Zhong Mingli bowed his hands to him and said, "Xian Cheng Zhao is looking for me, but what's the important matter?"

"It's nothing important." Zhao Xiancheng said calmly: "But Mr. Zhong didn't care about Mr. Peng beating his subordinates for no reason, but I want to ask him clearly."

Zhong Mingli said calmly: "This order was given by this official. Each of them represents the county government. Those who are disheveled will damage the image of the county government. It will make the people outside see us and other government officials. Our county government is a place of rules and etiquette. If anyone is like him, how can we control him?"

Zhao Xian Cheng looked at him and asked, "When did Mr. Zhong give this order? Why don't I know?"

Zhong Mingli looked at him and said in a deep voice: "Any order I give must require the consent of Zhao Xiancheng!"

Zhao Xian Cheng was speechless for a moment. He did not expect that Zhong Mingli would actually use such a method to exonerate Peng Captou. It seemed that he was the instigator behind this matter.

"Of course not." Zhao Xian Cheng looked at Zhong Mingli and said, "It's just that if the county magistrate has any orders, he should discuss them with his colleagues, so as not to end up with a reputation of being arbitrary."

Zhong Mingli waved his hand and said, "I can make the decision on such a small matter, so why bother others?"

Zhao Xiancheng took a deep look at Zhong Mingli and said, "I will resign first."

Beating up a county magistrate Zhao was just a matter of venting his anger in his heart. It was not that easy to seize his power, break up his allies, and make everyone in the county government obey him.

Tang Ning and Peng Chen stood in front of the corridor, looked at him, and said, "If you want to cause trouble, you can't be so obvious. If someone beats him up without wearing a hat, and he is not convinced, others will also think that you are bullying others... You can Give him an errand. If he can't do it well, you'll whip him. If he can do it well, you'll give him another errand. There will always be a time when he can't do it well. At that time, you can't do it well. You can slap him as much as you want, and no one else will have any objections, do you understand?"

Peng Chen thought for a while, nodded and said, "I understand."

Wei San stood in the yard, listening to the conversation between the two people on the porch, covering his swollen face, and his body was shaking like chaff.
