Shen Yang in the carriage frowned slightly. He had had some dealings with Mr. Liu from Yanglai County.
This person rarely spoke so harshly, and his attitude showed that it was the instructions of the county magistrate behind him.
Combined with the fact that this person is from outside the country, coming to Yanglai County at this time, he is probably the back-up man hired by Magistrate Fang.
After all, there is still one year left before Magistrate Fang leaves office. Based on Shenyang's understanding of him, this Magistrate is definitely not the kind of person to sit back and wait for death.
Even if you take a step back, this person is not the backup person hired by County Magistrate Fang, but to make Master Liu act so tough, this person is definitely not an ordinary person.
There was an iron-blooded county magistrate in Yanglai County, which was enough to give him a headache, but now a mysterious young man appeared who didn't care at all about his Shen family, and even looked down upon him.
If Shenyang just forgets it, then he should stop hanging out in Danyang County.
Shen Yang's eyes flashed, staring at everything outside the car. Just when he was about to make up his mind to fight Master Liu in front of him with real swords and guns, suddenly, his clenched palms loosened.
The blood that rushed to his mind suddenly subsided, and he finally let out a cold snort.
"Master Liu, I'm going to be cruel to you for this matter today, but I'm telling you, this matter is not over yet. If you offend the Shen family, I will let you know the consequences of offending the Shen family!"
"let's go!"
Shen Yang's words were something that many of his subordinates did not expect. They all thought that a war would break out next. After all, their master was not the one who would suffer.
But unexpectedly, Shenyang actually gave in and chose to retreat temporarily, which somewhat confused them.
I was puzzled, but the coachman and many guards in black immediately gathered up the team, stood next to the Shenyang carriage, and escorted him away.
Master Liu was not embarrassed by Shenyang's concession and signaled to the policemen around him to make way.
Watching the Shenyang motorcade leave, Master Liu's tense heart felt a little more relaxed.
To be honest, if the two sides really started fighting just now, he would not be sure, and once they started, the situation would probably escalate, and it would be difficult to stop it.
As for Shenyang's timely retreat, Master Liu could probably guess some of it.
As the third son of the Shen family, his identity is on display. The two sides are in a war posture. At such a close distance, Shenyang's safety may not be guaranteed.
As long as he is in a safe position, Mr. Shen Xiaosan will definitely call on his men and fight to the death.
This was also the reason why Master Liu, the only one betting on Shenyang, did not dare to fight to the death. Fortunately, this time he made the right bet.
Although he had the upper hand temporarily this time, he understood that after such a commotion, Mr. Shen would definitely recruit people in Danyang County and make a comeback after he returned.
It can be said that the confrontation between the two sides just now was completely broken. Master Liu already knew the outcome, but he had to do this.
Even if he was given a chance, he would still do it, and he believed that if Magistrate Fang knew about it, he would definitely support him fully.
After the Shenyang convoy left, the conflict that broke out between the two sides was barely subsided, and the onlookers dispersed consciously.
Master Liu glanced at Su Qian and said coldly, "Okay, come with me to the Yamen."
Su Qi'an, who was sitting in the stall, stood up without any hesitation, and then, together with Tong Zhan and the other four, led by a group of detectives, headed towards the Yanglai County Government Office.
The people who were leaving one after another could only shake their heads slightly when they saw this scene. In their opinion, what Master Liu had just done was not to support this young man.
Just to save the face of the Yanglai County Magistrate, the refusal of the Yanglai County Magistrate and Shen Xiaosan Master is basically known to everyone.
The Shen family's properties are spread all over Dongzhou, and the place that Shen Xiaosan is responsible for is the entire Danyang County.
Yanglai County is one of its seven counties, and we inevitably have to deal with it, but this iron-blooded county magistrate doesn't care about Mr. Shen Xiaosan.
As long as the development of Yanglai County is good, the two parties can still be friends, but this unruly and arrogant Mr. Shen Xiaosan is not such a person.
In the past two years, the two sides have had deep conflicts, basically fighting openly and secretly, and refusing to give in to each other.

If it weren't for the fact that Fang County Magistrate's appointment was formal and legal, and as long as he did not commit any serious negligence, it would be very common for him to serve for a three-year term in Dongzhou.
Therefore, no matter how Mr. Shen tries to rectify Magistrate Fang, his position as Magistrate will be difficult to shake. This is where Magistrate Fang's confidence lies.
The conflict between the two sides is getting worse day by day. Although it is the first time for such a quarrel to happen, anyone who knows about it can guess that it will happen sooner or later.
As for this young man from a foreign family, even if there was a reason for the incident, he had violated the laws of Great Liang after all, so it was normal for him to be taken away.
Who told them that this parent official was a strict county magistrate. No matter who broke the law, he would be punished. This could be regarded as a lesson.
Su Qi'an and Tong Zhan, under the watch of the police, quickly arrived at the Yanglai County Government Office.
Master Liu looked indifferent, said a few words to the policeman beside him, and then walked into the lobby alone with Su Qi'an and Tong Zhan.
As soon as I walked into the county government hall, the door was immediately closed, and the passers-by outside looked at this scene and became accustomed to it. Generally, they are people with high status and background. If they commit a crime, their trial does not need to be made public.
At this time, the county government hall was empty. Not to mention the county magistrate Fang, not even a government official could be seen.
Su Qian looked at Master Liu who had his back turned to him, with a slight smile on his face and said.
"Master Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect that we would be here to see you again."
Master Liu turned around, with a hint of excitement on his face, and he quickly cupped his fists.
"Uncle, no, I should call you Lord Marquis. In order to avoid being noticed, I had to do this as a last resort. I hope Lord Marquis will forgive me."
Master Liu apologized, Su Qian waved his hands repeatedly, and Tong Zhan beside him also smiled.
"Master Liu, don't be so formal. You still don't know what kind of person you are. Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for several years. I didn't expect to see you here. It's like meeting an old friend in a foreign land."
"No." Master Liu nodded heavily.
"By the way, Master Liu, since you are here, why don't you invite our old friend County Magistrate Fang to meet me."
Su Qian looked at the excited Master Liu and said with a smile.
When entering Yanglai County, Su Qi'an felt familiar with the county's development plan, but could not recall it for a moment.
Magistrate Fang naturally reminded Su Qi'an of an old friend, Fang Jingzhi, who worked in Lingbei County back then.
But there are so many county magistrates in Daliang, and Fang Jing is not the only one with the surname Fang.
Su Qi'an only knew that Fang Jingzhi was transferred to Dongzhou, but he didn't know where the props were. Moreover, after so many years, who knows if Fang Jingzhi is still in Dongzhou.
For a while, he didn't dare to recognize Magistrate Fang, but after meeting Master Liu, he was almost 100% sure that the iron-blooded Magistrate of Yanglai County was Fang Jingzhi of Lingbei County.
Otherwise, Su Qian would not have left with Master Liu so happily.
You must know that Master Liu was not only Fang Jingzhi's staff, but also his military advisor. When Fang Jingzhi was transferred, Master Liu was the only one accompanying him.
It is enough to see that the two have a close relationship.
Seeing this from Su Qi'an, Master Liu nodded repeatedly, put down his old talk with Su Qi'an, and was about to turn around to call when Fang Jingzhi's figure walked out from the curtain on the right side of the sitting hall.
Looking at the familiar person in front of him, Fang Jingzhi stepped forward quickly. He was about to salute, but Su Qi'an stopped him and took his hand.
"County Magistrate Fang, I haven't seen you for a long time. There is no need to salute. We are considered old friends. It is really fate that we can see our old friends here."
Fang Jingzhi's face was excited. Although he had received the news about Master Liu early in the morning, he still couldn't help but be excited when he saw Su Qi'an.
The relationship between him and Su Qi'an was not very close, but in that environment, the cooperation between the two parties was very pleasant.
Moreover, during the contact between the two parties, he was infected by Su Qi'an's ideas, and he can be said to be Su Qi'an's loyal follower.
In addition, after so many years, both parties have changed a lot. Looking back now, the affection back then seems very precious.
Su Qi'an looked at Fang Jingzhi. He obviously felt that Fang Jingzhi was much older than a few years ago. Fang Jingzhi himself was only in his forties.
But looking at him now, his black hair on both sides is obviously graying, and his face is a bit rough, as if he has been weathered, and he feels like a man in his sixties or seventies.
But his eyes were sharper than before, full of energy, and he could faintly feel some murderous intent.
"In the past few years, Fang Jingzhi has also experienced unimaginable suffering." Su Qian sighed inwardly.
"Magistrate Fang, I can't help you. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been transferred all the way here and suffered this crime."
Su Qi'an apologized, but Fang Jingzhi quickly shook his head and said with a smile.
"Mr. Su, you don't need to blame yourself. My transfer has nothing to do with you. Even without you, I would have left Lingbei County sooner or later."
"I have indeed experienced a lot in Dongzhou, but I feel it is worth it. My career as a county magistrate in Dongzhou in the past few years has been more fulfilling than my more than 20 years in Lingbei County. I feel that I have recovered The young ambition to enter the officialdom when he first entered the officialdom." Kan Shula
"Speaking of which, I would also like to thank you, sir. I will always keep your words in mind. I would rather bloom in splendid brilliance than live in mediocrity all my life."
Fang Jingzhi spoke very sincerely, and Su Qian could even feel the passion in his words.
Fang Jingzhi's change was greater than he imagined. With Fang Jingzhi's spirit, he was not an old man who had been in the officialdom for a long time. Instead, he was a young man full of strong vigor, completely sweeping away the deadness of the past.
Fang Jingzhi saw the sigh on Su Qian's face and smiled.
"Haha, all thanks to sir. If it weren't for his words that woke me up in my dream, I would now know how wonderful it is to rediscover the goal of my youth."
"Speaking of which, my husband has changed a lot in the past few years, so much so that even I, who is far away in Dongzhou, am shocked by his development."
"Sit in Jiaozhou, quell the civil strife, go to Yuezhou, quell the maritime troubles, counterattack Xizhou, defeat Tang Feng, then go to Beijing to become a marquis, quarrel with the courtiers, and single-handedly foil Prince Fusang's marriage..."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, these things make Fang really ashamed of himself. Sir's strength is really something I can't wait for. I can only look up and follow him."
