"So, Ansu County arrested this man because he received a license from Baoding Prefecture to assist Huizhou Prefecture in arresting Shuai Jiamo?" Gao pragmatic finally figured out the whole story and asked Liang Wu.
Liang Wu was a little embarrassed and said: "Yes... but it can't be said to be an arrest. In fact, the Huizhou government's decision can only be said to be to summon Shuai Jiamo to the case for trial. We in Ansu County just happened to meet him, so we kept him temporarily. Come down."
Gao pragmatic didn't dwell on the difference and just asked: "Where is he now?"
"Uh..." Liang Wu scratched his head and said cautiously: "In prison."
Gao pragmatic frowned and looked at Liang Wu: "That means you still treat him as a criminal?"
Liang Wu's heart tightened and he said in a panic: "This is the decision of the subordinates. The subordinates were not aware of it for a moment and forgot to deal with it..."
"Senior brother, you are joking." Gao Pingshi immediately waved his hand and interrupted: "Although I have an official title, I am actually just a useless idler. How can I be considered your superior, senior brother?"
Liang Wu was startled when he heard this, and he was also surprised in his heart: Yes, he is not my Shangguan. Even though he is the nephew of the Prime Minister, I, Liang Qingtong, am also a person named on the official gold list and a dignified person in the county. Why should I Are you afraid of him?
But thinking about it, he still knew that the moment Gao Pragmatic looked towards him just now, his heart indeed trembled. It was really a kind of fear. That expression, that look in his eyes, it was as if the person he was talking to was not a child under ten years old at all, but the elder who had been in power for a long time and sat in the Wenyuan Pavilion!
Damn it! Could it be that my little junior brother is born with official authority?
Fortunately, he was pragmatic and didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have scoffed: How could he have any natural authority? This is just a psychological question!
First of all, what happened today is obviously that Liang Wu is asking for something from him. Although Gao Pragmatic still doesn’t know what Liang Wu is asking for, no matter what he is asking for, the person who is asking for it will be in a weak position psychologically. .
Secondly, Gao Pragmatic has nothing to ask of Liang Wu - he was asked to help allocate some teaching funds to the county school, which is what the county should do. Gao Pragmatic does not expect that money to eat, and he is here today. This is already a performance to build momentum for Liang Wu. Even if he owed him a favor before, it has already been repaid.
Finally, highly pragmatic expressions and movements can indeed easily lead to misunderstandings. After all, we have to see who he is dealing with on a daily basis? The emperor, the prince, the elder, the duke, the marquis, the chief eunuch, the chief eunuch...the last ones were also the prince's daily lecturers.
Therefore, when he faced the county magistrate Liang Wu, his demeanor and movements would naturally have the feeling of a so-called "superior".
Putting these conditions together, Liang Wu was of course a little nervous when facing Gao Pragmatic. When Gao Pragmatic suddenly changed from his previous politeness to seeming dissatisfied, Liang Wu panicked subconsciously.
To put it bluntly, he was so worthless, but Liang Wu didn't have time to think about it at the moment, so he felt more and more that the junior brother in front of him must be an extraordinary person.
Seeing that Nuonuo was silent, Gao pragmatic thought that what he said was too harsh. To avoid embarrassment, he changed the subject and said: "Since we are just urging him to go back for trial, it is not appropriate to keep him in prison, so he should Let him out. Besides, this matter has little to do with you, so don’t worry too much, senior brother."
When Gao pragmatic said this, he paused slightly and added: "I know what senior brother is worried about, but senior brother can rest assured that the whipping method has nothing to do with Beizhili. The court's current situation The focus is on South Zhili, where money and silk are flourishing, and there is an economic basis for implementing the One Whip Law, while North Zhili is close to the capital after all, so it cannot be implemented easily."
To be honest, Gao pragmatically pointed him out, and I felt that it was a bit excessive, because Liang Wu was really not ranked among Gao Gong's disciples. There was no need to explain such national affairs to him. If he had enough political acumen, If it's high, you should realize it on your own. If it's not enough... there's nothing you can do about it.
However, after all, a county official with a serious Jinshi background, who is so polite and well-behaved in front of me, still has to give people some face, so I just mentioned a few things. As for whether he can understand, then It's none of my business.
When Liang Wu heard what Gao Pangshi said, he breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, this county understands. Brother Yu will release the person now..." But when he said this, he suddenly hesitated again and asked : "But what if this person runs away again and refuses to return to Huizhou?"
Running is not important. What is important is what if he still insists on going to Beijing to complain? When the time comes, the prefect of Baoding loses face in front of the prefect of Huizhou. As a county magistrate under the prefect of Baoding, wouldn't it be possible for me, the magistrate under the prefect of Baoding, to hate Shangguan?
Gao pragmatic knew his worries as soon as he heard it, and said helplessly: "You just need to explain the truth to him clearly, isn't it? You don't have the power to imprison him, so can the Baoding prefect blame you for this?"
Liang Wu smiled bitterly and said: "Junior brother, I don't know. If this is a normal situation, of course it doesn't matter. However, the governor of this mansion and the governor of Huizhou are from the same hometown and the same age..."
Then your luck is really bad!
Gao pragmatic couldn't help but was speechless after hearing this. He thought for a while and said: "Okay, I will help people to the end this time and send Buddha to the West. Senior brother, bring that handsome Jiamo, and I will take him out of Ansu County. As for whether he returns to Huizhou or continues to Beijing, that is none of your business, senior brother."
Liang Wu was overjoyed, thanked him quickly, and then said worriedly: "You won't hurt my dear brother, right?"
"Implicate me?" Gao Pragmatic laughed: "I haven't broken any laws, so how can I be implicated? Can the Huizhou Prefecture or the Baoding Prefecture impeach me over this matter? Or, they sent people to arrest me? I borrowed their money Ten courageous people, let’s see if they dare!”
Liang Wu was secretly stunned when he heard this, but he had to admit that this junior brother really had the confidence to say this. Not to mention that there is a third uncle who is the second assistant of the emperor. Even if he only relies on his own identity, it is impossible for the Huizhou government to have the courage to make trouble on his head - the one on his head is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
Although His Highness the Crown Prince is young and has no power, he cannot resist the fact that his father, the Emperor, is a maniac about doting on his son! You, a mere prefect of Huizhou, dare to touch my son. Are you afraid you want to go to Yunnan?
The relieved Liang County Master finally made a decision and immediately sent someone to bring Shuai Jiamo over.
Gao Pragmatic was quite interested in this "litigation stick" who was obsessed with mathematics and law, and wanted to see what kind of proud and heroic man dared to do such a thing.
Unexpectedly, not long after, a young man in his mid-twenties rushed forward as soon as he entered the door, knocked his head to the ground, and shouted: "Master Qingtian, help me!"
