The governors of the three provinces are coming to inspect the city tomorrow!
With the help of Li Kuan, the news spread quickly in Beiliang City. The reason is very simple. This is really fun.
Yes, fun.
In other cities, there are two outcomes when the governors of the three provinces come to inspect the city. One is that the governor has the power of Bao Qingtian to sweep away all the unjust, false and wrongful cases in the city, and then arrests all the corrupt officials, causing the people to applaud.
The other kind is that the governor has the potential to be a beast, and he will go through the unjust, false and wrong cases in the city, and then arrest all the beautiful women, causing the people to complain.
Therefore, most people don't really like the governor coming to patrol the city. After all, these two endings seem to be half and half, but if they meet the previous one, it will be more interesting to talk about after dinner. But if he encounters someone from behind and is unlucky, there will be no explanation.
But Beiliang is different.
Beiliang has a hidden ending.
In the past, three governors from three provinces came to Beiliang to inspect the city. One of them, named Li, suffered from hemorrhoids and stayed in the hospital for twelve days during the inspection, and finally left in a hurry.
The second governor's surname was Bai. He had just visited the city for three days. He had to tease the dog while walking on the road. The wild dog kicked him into the fish pond. He contracted the wind and cold and lay in the hospital for a month. Finally, Leaving in a hurry.
Later, people found out that the "wild dog" was actually the third junior brother of Zhengdao Laotian Master, who was deceived into transforming for three months. I was already angry, but when I met someone teasing a dog, I immediately kicked him.
The third governor's surname was Wei. He was relatively lucky. He patrolled the city for fourteen days and was just one day away from successfully completing the task. In the end, he had to act like a monster and wanted to make a surprise visit to Beiliang Imperial College.
Needless to say, everyone should be able to guess what happened next. Governor Wei was the worst, having to lie in the hospital for three months.
According to common sense, when three governors were killed one after another in one city, the imperial court should have sent a large army to blockade Beiliang to see if anyone wanted to proclaim himself king. But until now, the imperial court has not made any statement. It just stopped sending the governor here after his bad luck. That's all.
There was no way, mainly because the way these three governors were injured was too "harmonious". They suffered from hemorrhoids, were kicked for teasing dogs, and were blown up to the sky during a surprise attack on the Imperial Academy. If Beiliang was held accountable for these reasons, the court itself would be embarrassed, it would be too ugly.
But now, a governor who is not afraid of death has volunteered to inspect Beiliang, which makes the people of Beiliang feel sincerely happy and blessed. They began to look forward to what new joy this governor could bring to Beiliang.
"How about this?"
In the evening, Li Kuan paced back and forth in his mansion, his expression seemed anxious, but more of a calm and contemplative one.
If an ordinary governor came to visit, he would not panic at all. After all, the administration of Beiliang City has been harmonious and clear over the past few years. Not to mention unjust, false and wrongful convictions, even minor cases of stealing and stealing almost never happened. At most, it was the naughty students of Taixue who made people angry, and in the end they were ignored.
However, if the governor's surname is Zhang, everything will be difficult to say.
Just because Li Kuanbao turned into a useless person does not mean that he is a useless person.
He had also heard about the old man of the Jie family, and the collapse of the Hongwei Building had also reached his ears, and the man behind the Hongwei Building, Li Kuan, was very familiar with it. He just needs a little thought to string a thread together. Now, Governor Zhang at the other end of the line is coming to visit Beiliang. You said he is here for tourism. Do you believe it?
Li Kuan didn't believe it.
As a person who has determined to be a county magistrate since childhood and spend his life with Qingmei, Li Kuan has always used his intelligence to "hide". Until now, no one has discovered that the talented scholar Jie Jin had always treated a fellow countryman as a teacher.
This fellow countryman is Li Kuan.
The visitor from the Zhang family is evil and has a very clear purpose, which is to break up Zhou Li, the evil soul jade business of Hongwei Tower. During this inspection of the city, it was inevitable that Governor Zhang would take action against Zhou Li. Li Kuan also knew that behind Governor Zhang was Zhang Suohao, Empress Zhang's brother who was the most powerful in the world at that time.
This time, a fight between Zhou Li and Zhang Suohao is bound to happen. And it seems that there is no suspense in this battle, and the gap between the two sides is too wide. One is a third-grade spiritual master, powerless and ordinary. The other one is the younger brother of the queen, holding the royal guard and military talisman, and also has the official status of a third-rank governor.
And in this, what role you play will determine many things.
For example, the garrison... or the future of Beiliang City.
Closing his eyes, Li Kuan thought of the emaciated people he saw when he first arrived in Beiliang, kneeling by the roadside just for a piece of rough cake, prostrating themselves in front of him whom he had never seen before, and shouting the names of their parents and officials.
He didn't think much about it at the time, because most counties in desolate areas in the north were like this. As a junior Jinshi, Li Kuan voluntarily came to this remote and wild place to serve. But when he actually saw the wilderness of the North, he was still shocked.
In the following years, Li Kuan ruled by doing nothing. In fact, this kind of governance by doing nothing is the real action. He knew that the people in the north knew how to survive and how to make their lives easier than the people in other cities. And what I need to do is do nothing...
At the same time, don’t let others do it.
The others here are not the people in the city, nor the merchants and hawkers. The others here are colleagues.
People often want to make themselves feel better, and officials also want to make themselves feel better. The people know how to farm, weave, and survive on their own.
And officials will ask for the survival of the people.
In this way, no one will have a hard time.
"Zhou Li, someone doesn't want Beiliang to have an easy time."
As if he heard the steady footsteps, Li Kuan opened his eyes, looked at the young man in green robe, and said calmly: "There are 260 garrison troops in the city, and 16 Lingqi masters from the Demon Palm Division. They all obey my orders. Zhang Suohao can't touch them."
"I knew it."
Looking at Li Kuan sitting on a high platform in front of him, sitting under the plaque of "Recommended by the People", wearing a patched official uniform, with a calm face but exuding majesty, Zhou Li smiled.
"rest assured."
Look at this ridiculous county magistrate who spent six years giving the originally dilapidated Beiliang a new look. Zhou Li bowed and said with a smile:
"There is an evil demon beside Zhang Suohao, level six."
"Killing demons and eradicating evil is the responsibility of the Demon Master."
"Zhang Suohao still has a hundred imperial troops, but he raised them privately and is actually a private army."
Li Kuan said calmly: "Private soldiers are rebels, and it is the duty of the garrison."
Zhou Li's smile grew stronger and stronger. He knew that the old scholar was not wrong, and neither was he. A sly smile appeared on his face and he said:
"The evil soul jade is actually related to the old news in the court about the orphan of Emperor Jianwen."
Then, he saw Li Kuan covering his ears, shaking his head and shouting:
"I won't listen, I won't listen, I won't listen."
