Fang Jingzhi is not a mother-in-law person. Since Su Qi'an made the decision and said nothing, he naturally had to help.
To be honest, Fang Jingzhi was quite happy after accepting that Su Qi'an was the inspector appointed by the imperial court.
He knew about Su Qi'an's strength and ability. Among other things, the Dongshan Army formed by his subordinates was so famous that even he knew about it as far away as Dongzhou.
This time Su Qi'an came to Yanglai County. Judging from the people he brought with him, most of them had made arrangements in advance. Don't even think about it. In Yanglai County now, there are definitely a lot of people Su Qi'an had arranged in advance.
If there is any trouble, Su Qi'an will definitely know it earlier than him, the local county magistrate. This is Su Qi'an's strength.
Fang Jingzhi clasped his fists at Su Qi'an and asked, "I dare to ask sir, how to arrange and act next, as long as Fang is able to use it, just ask."
Seeing an impatient look on Fang Jingzhi's face, Su Qian said with a smile.
"Of course I have to play something big. Originally I was worried about Dongzhou Mu giving me such a big gift, but now it's fine. If you give me such a good opportunity, you have to let them bleed."
Su Qi'an said it casually, but Fang Jingzhi could clearly hear the meaning behind his words.
Since you want to fight back, you naturally have to choose a suitable target. Dongzhou Mu is definitely unrealistic. The only one who can fit the target is Mr. Shen Xiaosan.
No wonder Su Qi'an made such a big fuss in Yanglai County and had a plan early on.
Su Qian is a master who is very good at grasping details and turning them into opportunities to counterattack in one fell swoop.
If Mr. Shen could be operated on, it would definitely be a good warning to Dongzhou officials.
But then he thought about it, and Fang Jingzhi seemed to have thought of something, and asked, "Sir, Mr. Shen is a good candidate for the surgery, but what if he doesn't fall for the trick."
Su Qi'an smiled and said, "Haha, do you think that with the temperament of the third master of the Shen family, this matter will be settled like this? If he could bear this tone, Danyang County would have been manipulated by him long ago."
"Furthermore, Magistrate Fang, you are wrong. I don't value this mistress that much. He is just a bait. I said before, if you want to play, play bigger and make the Dongzhou executives feel real pain. Then Come down and see how much surprise this bait can bring us, let’s wait and see.”
Su Qian's face showed a playful smile, which made people shudder.
Fang Jingzhi nodded repeatedly, but he was quite excited in his heart. The conflict between him and Mr. Shen Xiaosan had not lasted for a while. This time Su Qi'an came to Dongzhou, and the first thing he did was to take action on him.
He was really looking forward to seeing how far Su Qian would go.
"By the way, Magistrate Fang, in order for this matter to go smoothly, I have to trouble you with something next."
"Mr. Su, just say hello, I'm obligated." Fang Jingzhi said, then he stretched his head over, and Su Qian whispered something in his ear...
At this time, Danyang County Mansion.
Lu Wenliang, the governor of Danyang County, stood in the middle of a wing with a somewhat unattractive face. Next to him was the third son of the Shen family, Shenyang, who had suffered in Yanglai County.
After Shen Yang's narration, Lu Wenliang probably already knew the cause and effect of the incident.
He really didn't expect that this Fang Jingzhi would be so arrogant. He not only had a conflict with Shen Yang, but also openly supported an outsider. This completely ignored him as a county governor.
He was angry, but Lu Wenliang had not yet been filled with anger.
Shen Yang's relationship with Fang Jingzhi was not on good terms, and similarly, his relationship with this subordinate was not much better.
His relationship with the Shen family is like the relationship between fish and water. It is no surprise that he has been able to sit in the position of Danyang County Sheriff for so many years. The Shen family has contributed a lot.
After so many years of friendship, Shenyang can call him uncle. This is why the Shen family dares to transfer Shenyang to Danyang County to manage the Shen family's local industries.
With his uncle here, Shenyang is more confident in Danyang County.
Due to this relationship, Lu Wenliang stood firmly behind Shen Yang as early as Shenyang and Fang Jingzhi began to have conflicts and conflicts.
First, he exerted pressure as a superior to force Fang Jingzhi to submit, but this Fang Jingzhi was like a fool and ignored him as a superior leader.
This made Lu Wenliang very angry, because Fang Jingzhi had just been transferred from the front line and had not made any big mistakes. Even he had no right to transfer him.
Since Fang Jingzhi had been managing Yanglai County for nearly two years, Lu Wenliang had cut off his external economic and trade routes.
If there are outgoing traders, they will definitely set up checkpoints and charge high tolls. Later, they have also told several surrounding counties that they will not accept any foreign trade from Yanglai County. It has the intention of completely strangling Yanglai County.
I thought that in this situation, the stupid Fang Jingzhi would be submissive.
Who would have known that this person not only refused to admit defeat, but also opened all kinds of bazaars internally when foreign trade was cut off.
He also set an example by taking the lead in repairing the dock and ferry that had been abandoned for many years, and also looking for wasteland where food could be grown to solve the crisis of local people not having enough to eat.
During the half-year period when he was trapped to death, he only led his more than 30 detectives to eliminate the banditry that plagued Yanglai County in one fell swoop.
It also dealt with a large number of corrupt officials who colluded with government and businessmen. This move won strong support from the local people.
Driven by Fang Jingzhi's example, the local people's impression of the new county magistrate greatly improved, and many people spontaneously joined the militia team established by Fang Jingzhi.
Their slogan is simple, protect your home and your loved ones.
Due to this spontaneous infection, Yanglai County, which originally had extremely chaotic public security, became stable in less than a year among the seven Danyang counties, ranking at least in the top three.
The domestic security is stable, and the repairs of various external ferry terminals have been completed, which naturally attracts foreign merchant ships. The first stop in Dongzhou is Yanglai County.
The geographical location of Yanglai County is not bad, but because of the collusion between local officials and businessmen, foreign caravans passing by will be severely punished and may even encounter robberies.
Under such circumstances, naturally no foreign caravans would be willing to come to Yanglai County again. However, under Fang Jingzhi's vigorous management, the previous bad image was wiped away, and gradually, the lost trade contacts began again.
At this point, even if Lu Wenliang wanted to stop it, it would be impossible. He could stop the caravans in the county, but the caravans from other places were beyond his control.
Under Fang Jingzhi's vigorous and iron-fisted governance, even though it was restricted, thanks to everyone's self-reliance, Yanglai County not only did not die, but got better and better.
And this is why Fang Jingzhi has no confidence in Lu Wenliang. In the past two years, Lu Wenliang has used all means to suppress Fang Jingzhi.
But not only was Yanglai County not beaten to death, it was developing in a good direction, which made Lu Wenliang somewhat helpless.
But today, he heard that his good nephew was in trouble again in Yanglai County. Even though Lu Wenzhong was in a mood, he was a little helpless.
After all, the current development of Yanglai County, to put it bluntly, has nothing to do with his half a cent. It is all the result of Fang Jingzhi and the local people's own efforts.
Even if he wanted to stand up for Shenyang at this time, he didn't know why.
It can be said that he and Shenyang are the least popular people in Yanglai County. The other six counties in Danyang County may be able to give him face because of his superior status.
But only when he arrived in Yanglai County, he would not be ignored at all. Even if he went there, he would probably return in vain.
Therefore, even if Lu Wenliang was angry and wanted to stand up for his nephew, it would be difficult to do so.
Shen Yang knew very well what Lu Wenliang meant and said quickly.
"Uncle Lu, my nephew is aware of your difficulties, but think about it, what happened today is a slap in the face of my Shen family? Isn't this a slap in the face of your Uncle Lu? You don't take Uncle Lu seriously at all. "
"These unscrupulous people in Yanglai County only know Fang Jingzhi now, but they don't know you, Uncle Lu. He has only stayed for two years. If you continue to stay, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you, Uncle Lu, to keep your position."
Shenyang's outcry did not inflame Lu Wenliang's anger. Instead, Lu Wenliang gradually regained his composure.
He smiled and said to Shen Yang, "
My dear nephew, your uncle knows what you are talking about, but you also know that Yanglai County is not like this for a day or two. If you wanted to help, Uncle Lu would have helped. "
"But I am in a dilemma right now. Fang Jingzhi's prestige in the local area is very deep. Even if I want to get rid of him, it will be difficult to do it. Just listen to my uncle and let this matter go."
"You are back intact now, which means that Fang Jingzhi is still selling the Shen family's face. Moreover, Fang Jingzhi has been in Yanglai County for two years. He will be transferred in less than a year at most. Why should we have to give it to ourselves? He’s looking for trouble. If he waits for a year to leave, wouldn’t it be good for him to be transferred?”
"We have lost nothing. The only thing we have lost is time. Once he leaves, won't we still have the final say in Yanglai County?"
Lu Wenliang said it with sincerity, but Shenyang was not stupid. As a merchant, he knew very well who Lu Wenliang was.
They are the ones who never let go of the eagle before seeing the rabbit. Sometimes officials like them are even more greedy than businessmen.
Shen Yang cursed the old fox in his heart, and then said quickly, "My nephew understands Uncle Lu's worries, but everything my nephew does is for Uncle Lu."
"This time in Yanglai County, the person who had a conflict with me was not just Fang Jingzhi, but a young man. This young man's identity should not be simple. He is not from Dongzhou."
"It seems that he should be from a certain aristocratic family, maybe he is a child of a powerful person. At this time, Fang Jingzhi inexplicably invited someone here. What is he going to do? Maybe it is to prepare for his transfer in a year's time. "
"It is not uncommon in Dongzhou to continue to be re-elected after three years. If we hire someone to run it, there is still a high chance that it will be successful. If it is successful, we will give Fang Jingzhi three years. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, with this local political performance, in In addition, Fang Jingzhi has the support of Governor Wu, so if we go one step further, it is not impossible to transfer him to a county guard."
"As far as I know, Fang Jingzhi has been in the position of county magistrate for many years. He just lacks an opportunity to go further. Of course, these have nothing to do with me. I am just a businessman. Most of the time, I will tell my father that I will return to the state at the worst. City, but I’m afraid Uncle Lu that your position will not be guaranteed when the time comes.”
