"Master Tiger, this monkey is soft-skinned, and I'm afraid he will betray us soon. Do you think we should leave Qingquan County first and send someone back to ask for instructions from the third young master and the old master?"
In a hidden private house, several gangsters who had stirred up trouble in front of the county government today were gathering together to give advice to Master Hu, who was in charge.
Speaking of which, monkeys are also unlucky. Why did they get entangled by such a big stupid guy?
"It doesn't matter."
Master Hu glanced at the minions in front of him and said in a soft tone:
"So what if Song Yichun knows our origins? The monkey is guilty of hurting people with a knife, but we are not guilty. Let's talk about right and wrong. If the monkey himself had no brains, the county government would not do anything to him."
"Really? But Mr. Hu, we are members of the Deng family after all. Song Yichun and the Liu family are on the same page, will he use this to vent their anger on the Liu family? After all, his student is about to..."
One of the gangsters was still unsure. After all, he saw the monkey being caught with his own eyes today.
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he was slapped hard by Master Hu.
"He dares!"
The cowardly bastard was stunned by the slap, and he and several other people also shrank back.
Seeing that they were no longer talking, Mr. Hu said:
"This letter must be sent to the third young master and the master. After all, Song Yichun found two miracle doctors from nowhere, especially the little lady named Liu Xi."
Speaking of this, Master Hu's fat and greasy face actually showed a smile:
"Humph, the Liu family, the Liu family again. There was a jade slave before, and now there's a medical girl. Our third young master likes these the most."
"Master Hu, what do you mean..."
The timid bastard dared to ask, and Mr. Hu answered without hesitation:
"Go, spend money to find a painter on the street, and ask him to draw that little lady for me. It will be of great use to me."
The gangsters didn't understand the use at first, until Mr. Hu smiled and whispered "Liu Yunu" in their ears, and they all laughed obscenely.
A person like Song Yichun would not shed tears until he saw the coffin.
If you want him to either follow the Green Forest Army or follow the wishes of their master and the prefect, don't you have to let him know the pain and know that he can't turn over?
"How unreasonable! Zhou Zhiyuan, as the prefect of a state, doesn't care about benefiting the people. Instead, he allows scoundrels like the Deng family to do evil and want to put you, a poor county magistrate, to death!"
In the small study room of Song Yichun in the third hall of the county government, Li Cifu was so angry that his old face turned red. He wished he could ride to the capital immediately and meet the prefect Zhou Zhiyuan.
Today, they first caught the gangster named Monkey and learned from him the purpose of his trip with Master Hu and others. Then they learned the detailed number and appearance from Qi Xiao.
But just like Mr. Hu and others are confident, it is difficult for them to deal with the matter immediately at this moment.
Because it was true that Mr. Hu and others had spread the rumors, but there were also some people present who had the same idea as them at first, and many people were involved in discussions.
If we say that Mr. Hu and others are spreading rumors, what about this group of people?
Moreover, the people of Dazhao are open and open, allowing people to talk about officials. Even the royal family does not prohibit this matter too much.
It can be said that if this did not reach the ears of the royal family members themselves, the court would almost ignore it.
There is no defamation crime in Dazhao, so even if someone spreads rumors, you can at most rebuke them but not arrest them.
Of course, they can also secretly detain them just like they did when they arrested Lin Xiong and others, but if they arrest this group, there will inevitably be another group.
They still have to deal with the next group of people from the Green Forest Army, so they can't cause trouble for themselves anymore.
That's why Qi Xiao didn't take action directly today.
Because he thought from the beginning that these people could be kept for observation, so that he could keep track of their movements at any time and paralyze the Zhou Prefecture and the Deng family.
Moreover, if you keep fishing for big fish for a long time, you might catch something unexpected.
Besides, they had just arrived in Mingzhou and had not yet established their feet, so it was better to slow down the pace.
After all, you have to eat this meal one bite at a time, right?
"Mr. Xiao, please be patient. Zhou Zhiyuan and the Deng family have been living in peace for a long time, and I have long been used to it. It's just that these people's methods have always been vicious, and the Liu family has learned from them. I hope your family will be careful and don't suffer any consequences." …”
Song Yichun's eyes turned red when he thought of what happened to the Liu family.
If he hadn't accepted Liu Yin as a student because of his love for talents, the other party's family would not have been targeted by these jackals, tigers and leopards and become the sword they used to warn him.
Yes, although Liurong elaborated on what happened at home that day in Beijing, she also concealed something.
That's why the Liu family was targeted by someone with serious intentions.
Because she was afraid that if she said it was because of Song Yichun, the county magistrate, the nobles in the palace would think that they were implicated, which would lower their opinion of Song Yichun.
In fact, neither Liu Yin Liu Rong nor the three people who died in the Liu family felt that it was the fault of the county magistrate Song Yichun.
If it is wrong to be a good and upright official, then there really is no law in the world.
Feng Xi, who never consumes herself internally but only goes crazy and kills others, strongly praised this and asked:
"The Green Forest Army didn't kill you because they wanted to win over the people of Qingquan and were afraid that if the matter was revealed, they would not be able to get anyone. What about the prefect Zhou Zhiyuan? Why didn't he touch you?"
It's not surprising that Feng Xi asked this. In fact, Song Yichun had written many times or sent letters to Beijing through various methods, hoping that Beijing would pay attention to the situation in Mingzhou.
However, all the messages fell into silence after being sent, and there was no reply.
It can be seen that Zhou Zhiyuan and others took strict precautions.
So Feng Xi briefly introduced Zhou Zhiyuan, a local snake, and felt that Song Yichun was not a hidden danger, but a bug, so why not kill him?
Wouldn't it be easier to do it directly?
"The girl doesn't know. Zhou Zhiyuan must have wanted to kill me, but since he succeeded to the throne, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has become more and more strict in the management of officials. Although low-level officials like me do not need to go to Beijing for assessment, they can still do it during their term of office. If something goes wrong, it will be investigated strictly.
What's more, Mingzhou is still a princess fiefdom..."
Song Yichun smiled and didn't mind answering Feng Xi's questions.
After all, in his opinion, this is a good girl with a kind heart.
"What's the difference between a princess fiefdom?"
Feng Xi blinked, she really didn't understand.
Fortunately, Li Cifu quickly explained for her:
"Since ancient times, the fiefdom has been troubled. There are those who respect themselves as soldiers, some who disobey the emperor's orders, and some even want to go out independently... Therefore, the court will be somewhat vigilant about anything involving the fiefdom.
The imperial court had neglected to manage Mingzhou before. That was because His Highness Zhaoming only paid money and ignored political affairs, and no one cared about it that much.
But once an official dies in office, the government will definitely send someone to investigate, and there will also be the emperor's cronies among them.
Won't this matter become complicated by then? "
