In response to Huang Qiong's question, this guy did not reply immediately. Instead, he looked at Huang Qiong who was standing in front of him for a long time before he said with a sinister smile: "Hey, there is a nosy person here. Come on. I just don’t know that the **** from Goulan Courtyard didn’t pull up his pants to reveal such a person?”
"Who am I? Are you qualified to ask? I want to take care of your uncle's affairs, but I don't even think about how much I weigh. While I'm not angry yet, just do whatever the hell you have to do. If you want, Otherwise, just get back into your mother's arms and continue to nurse, and stop disturbing me from doing my work here."
For this guy, this insidious talk was to the extreme, Huang Qiong stopped Liu Hu who was so angry that he wanted to take down these people. Instead of being angry, he smiled and said: "Don't tell me who I am, you will know sooner or later. Let me ask you now, you are neither an official of the imperial court nor a servant of this Mizhou. What qualifications do you have to receive this money and food?"
Hearing Huang Qiong's somewhat tough words, the guy ignored the yamen servant who saw something and pulled him by the corner of his clothes. Instead, he looked sarcastic and said smugly: "Who are you?" Things? What qualifications do I have to receive this money and food? I will tell you today, just because I am the cousin of the ninth son of the emperor who has been given by the King of England and has the right to know how to deal with Zhengzhou."
"I am not only the cousin of the King of England, but also the cousin of the King of Song. I am the direct nephew of Concubine De, who is currently in charge of the Sixth Palace. Now, on the orders of His Royal Highness and the Governor of Mizhou, I have come to collect The people of Mizhou used to be in arrears with money and food. I have the royal decree from the King of England and the official mission from the great master who knows the state. Now I am a third-level official."
"As for who our master Zhizhou is, I can tell you clearly today. Our master is the cousin of the King of England and His Royal Highness the King of Song, and the nephew of Empress Dowager De. Three months ago, he was recommended by the King of England. The Holy Master Jian Bao was promoted from the sect of Fu Baolang to the magistrate of Mizhou. The way you are dressed, you look like you come from a noble family."
"However, I advise you to think about it carefully. Don't say that your family is just a landowner. So what if you are a duke or a marquis? How can you compare with the King of England and the King of Song behind me. While I am in a good mood today, give him to me as soon as possible. I’ll get out of here. Otherwise, don’t blame me for not giving you face when the time comes.”
Although this guy is a little crazy, he is not a fool after all. Huang Qiong and his party, especially the young man standing in front of him, looked very ordinary in their clothes. But the fabric used to make the clothes is not the linen worn by ordinary people. The clothes and fabrics on his body clearly show that even if this person is not a son of an official, his family background is extraordinary.
As for Su Jin, who was standing behind Huang Qiong, he looked like he was from Beiliao. The high-quality black fox fur cloak was worth at least 500 strings. Even if you don't look behind Huang Qiong and his party, there are a dozen tough men with swords on their waists. Even the horses tied outside are all top-notch party horses. And among them, the Qinghai Cong is even more difficult to find.
With such attire and the dozen or so tough men, his identity would definitely not be too simple. However, he was somewhat mistaken. He thought that the middle-aged man wearing a black fox fur cloak was the real master, but the talkative young man in front of him was either Su Jin's nephew or a high-ranking attendant.
Therefore, when he came up, he moved out the King of England and the King of Song, as well as the concubine De who was hiding deep in the harem but was constantly causing trouble. Because in his opinion, even if these people are noble sons. Even if they don't give the King of England face, these people cannot help but be afraid of Concubine De, who is about to ascend to the Sixth Palace, and the King of Song, who may become the crown prince that day. He is no more afraid than backstage.
Hearing this guy's words, Huang Qiong smiled dumbly. I still don't know why the governor of Mizhou is so bold. It turns out that some of them are waiting for me here. The biological nephew of Concubine De and the cousin of King Song, this background is really powerful. However, Concubine De was also considered his concubine, so from this point of view, it can be regarded as a somewhat roundabout relationship.
As for the person in front of me, she must be from Concubine De's mother's family. I don't know that they can't be reached by eight poles over there, so they came here to fight Qiu Feng, and they also have relatives who act as lacklusters. For the current "cousin" in Mizhou, I'm afraid there is no one who can do such dirty things more easily than his own relatives. Seeing the third-level official, haha, my "cousin" has such great official power.
In Zhengzhou at the moment, except for myself, who is the third-level envoy of Zhengzhou granted by the emperor and is a real official. He was a small Sanzhou magistrate who was born in the fifth rank and had no subordinates, but he actually dared to give his lackey such a right. In this way, I still really underestimated the courage of this "cousin" with the support of Concubine De.
Huang Qiong always had a faint smile on his face after knowing the details. Knowing that this master might have murderous intentions, he might want to use the governor of Mizhou to establish his power again. Su Jin, who was worried that the young and energetic prince would offend Concubine De, hurriedly walked to Huang Qiong and whispered: "Wang, Master Wang, it is better for the lower officials to come forward in this matter."
"This is the former residence of Concubine De, and Mizhou is an important place in Gyeonggi Province. No one should be so bold as to pretend to be a relative of the emperor or an official to cheat. What's more, there are still these messengers from Mizhou. What this person said should be It's true, he should be a member of Concubine De's clan. The magistrate of Mizhou is indeed the direct nephew of Concubine De, and I am no stranger to this person."
"When this person was in Menxia Province before, he always guarded the concubines and the family's influence, and was used to being domineering. Originally, the emperor had never been very fond of him. When he was in the seventh rank, he wanted to be released several times but was rejected. This time I don’t know if Concubine Da didn’t know that she bumped the wooden clock, but she was able to release this person and even transfer him to Zhengzhou.”
"When I came from the capital to take office three months ago, I did not go to Zhengzhou according to the etiquette to meet you, the powerful envoy. Nor did I come to meet you. The two superior officials, Xiaguan and Jian Yong, were completely arrogant. At that time, I also mentioned this to you when I reported to you. It’s just that you were busy with the aftermath and didn’t pay too much attention to it.”
"You are about to return to the capital. Not only does this person rely on his concubine in the palace, but his family has been officials for generations. Although my grandfather has never been the Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province or Shangshu Province, he has served as a bachelor for many years and has also served as a minister. He has served as the Minister of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, and has presided over five imperial examinations. The disciples who were selected by him can be said to be all over the government and the public. He has a huge influence among civil servants, and is known as half of the imperial disciples."
"Although his father is currently only a third-rank minister of Sinong Temple, his uncles are all holding important positions, serving as the magistrate of Jiangning, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the minister Zuocheng. The current minister of the Ministry of Rites and the Yushitai The right deputy imperial envoy to the capital and the two pacification envoys to Hebei and Shandong were all Jinshi that his grandfather had won in the past."
"Even 30% of the current transport envoys, inspection envoys, and prison envoys in the world, and 40% of the patrol envoys in the world are all Jinshis selected by their grandfathers. Although his family seems to be just an ordinary official family, in fact Among the civil servants, it can be said that they have many party members and strong strength. If you offend Concubine De and her son at this time, I am afraid they will cause trouble for you afterwards. "
"The lower officials are aware of the character of Concubine De and the King of Song. Although the mother and son have no great talents, they are extremely narrow-minded. It can be said that their flaws must be repaid. It can be seen from the fate of the successive chief officials in the Song Dynasty. The behavior of this mother and son. No matter how you deal with this matter, even if you turn a blind eye, it will still cause you trouble. "
"So it's best for Xiaguan to come forward in this matter. What's more, if something like this happened in Mizhou, Xianguan, as a parent in the counties of Zhengzhou Prefecture, didn't know anything about it. It's hard to escape the blame. If Because Jin is implicated in Master Wang’s grand plan, then Jin really deserves death.”
But after Su Jin said that, Huang Qiong waved his hand and said, "It's not appropriate for you to come forward in this matter. Concubine De is originally from Zhengzhou, and there are still a large number of clansmen and villagers here. I, the king, come forward, They may not be able to defeat me. But after you come forward, they have many ways to deal with you. I also hope that you and Jian Yong will work together to bring Zhengzhou to great order."
"If you, the magistrate of Zhengzhou, are squeezed out and left without completing your term because of their private tricks, then it will be more than worth the loss. And as long as I am still serving as the magistrate of Zhengzhou, they will continue to Cause trouble for me. Instead of being so passive all the time, it’s better to do it cleanly and neatly once and for all.”
"If that mother and son don't teach them a profound lesson, they really think that I am easy to bully. These days, they seem to have done nothing on the surface, but they are doing a lot of tricks in private. After I entered Zhengzhou, Half of the troubles are caused by them. Now that they have taken the initiative to give the clues to me, I really can't afford them if I don't make good use of them."
After patting Su Jin on the shoulder and stopping Su Jin who was about to get ahead, Huang Qiong raised his head and glanced disdainfully at his so-called relatives and their thugs: "Are you sure that the compensation has been collected since King Jing came to the vassal? Up to now, what do the people of Mizhou mean by the arrears of money and food? But judging from my opinion of the British king’s administration since he came to Zhengzhou, he is not such a greedy person.”
"Not the kind of people who prey on the common people to enrich their own pockets. This so-called King of England is destined to be appointed by some people under the banner of the King of England to amass people's wealth here to enrich themselves. What's more, they levy taxes. It is a matter of officials appointed by the imperial court. You are neither officials nor officials in Mizhou, so how do you have the right to collect taxes?"
"The imperial court customized the appointment of officials. Not to mention the prefect of Mizhou, even the prefect of Zhengzhou did not have this right. Officials from the seventh rank and below can only be selected by the pacifier, and the official position will be granted after reporting to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for approval. He is just a mere Those who are from the fifth rank and do not have jurisdiction over counties may not have the right to choose officials."
As soon as Huang Qiong said this, the face of the leader changed color. He did not expect that the young man in front of him was so arrogant and did not give face to the magistrate behind him. Even the magistrate of Zhizhou, the concubine De and the King of Song behind him, didn't seem to be very considerate. After being exposed, he couldn't help but feel a little angry.
He glared at Huang Qiong and said: "You are such a brave boy, you are so shameless. You don't even look at whose territory this is, you are simply tired of living. Let me tell you, in this Mizhou, I am the god, what I said That’s what the King of England said. So what if you’re not a court official? Now that I’ve collected the tax, so will the people.”
After that, he turned to the head of the government office who was following him and said: "Captain Xing, the master asked you to cooperate with us in collecting taxes. Is this how you cooperate? I think you, the captor, don't want to do it anymore, right? Your family Don’t you want it anymore? You can take care of this matter today, don’t force Mr. Chen to take action himself. Otherwise, when the time comes, don’t say that your Mr. Chen won’t speak to you in front of the eldest master. "
