Zhou Zheng's sudden change of face made Zheng Qing startled, and his upright posture swayed.
However, he immediately calmed down and said, "Master Zhou, although you are patrolling, you still have to respect local officials. You scold a Youfu Cheng like this, and it's not good to spread it out, right?"
Yao Tongshun and Ding Qi couldn't help being furious when he heard Zheng Qing's words that didn't care.
When Zhang Yonglian was there before, you were like a tortoise with a shrunken head. Now that Zhang Yonglian is down, you want to pick peaches. It's too much for them to look down upon their Lord Zhou!
Yao Tongshun said in an unkind tone: "Master Zheng, our adult is acting as an agent of Yongping Mansion, and we are the adults who decide what to do! As far as I know, your family saving time is much longer than that, and our adults can completely punish you for a crime of negligence. !"
Zheng Qing didn't even look at him, and said indifferently: "This official is reporting his duties at the court. It is a price to the court. You adults can't cure my crime."
When Yao Tongshun was about to say something more, Zhou Zheng said, "I can."
Zheng Qing raised his head to look at Zhou Zheng with a slight disdain, and said: "Master Zhou, although you are a patrol, you have no right to punish me. I am not Zhang Yonglian."
In Zheng Qing's view, Zhou Zheng was able to overthrow Zhang Yonglian. It was because the court had long wanted to run Zhang Yonglian, Zhou Zheng came, or someone else. It made no difference.
Since Zhang Yonglian had fallen, Zhou Zheng should leave Yongping Mansion as soon as possible and hand Yongping Mansion to Zheng Qing.
Zhou Zheng walked over, looked at Zheng Qing, and said: "You have been in Yongping Mansion for many years. You can't know about Zhang Yonglian, but you can hide or hide. I have written to impeach you. Guess what the court will do?"
Zheng Qing's face changed slightly. Just about to stand up, Zhou Zheng stretched out his hand to hold his shoulder and said: "However, I won't be so troublesome. I take you now and say that you are Zhang Yonglian's accomplice and will escort you to the capital. Do you think the imperial court believes in me or you? Do you want to be the prefect? I tell you, without my consent, let alone the prefect, you, Youfu Cheng, can't do it anymore!"
Zheng Qing felt that Zhou Zheng's hand pressing on his shoulders instinctively was a big mountain, crushing his shoulders.
His expression changed, and his heart panicked.
He heard some rumors from Zhou Zheng in the capital. They were all young and ignorant, reckless and ignorant, and were disgusted by hundreds of officials in the imperial court and sent them to Yongping Mansion.
Listening to Zhou Zheng's words, this is so young and ignorant, it is clearly a deep scheming!
If Zhou Zheng really does this, let alone being promoted to prefect, he is afraid that he will sit in prison!
Zheng Qing didn’t have the arrogance that was just now on her face. He wanted to stand up and was held down by Zhou Zheng, so he had to face up, looked at Zhou Zheng, and said with a flat smile: "Just now the official is reckless, please don’t blame it. Your lord is Yongping. The official inspection, everything naturally listens to the adults."
Zhou Zheng looked at his expression, smiled and patted his shoulder vigorously, and said: "That's right. You are the verdict of Yongping Prefecture, and the criminal case is within your authority. Qi Lian, take all the cases Give it to Master Zheng, Master Zheng will personally lead people to investigate and deal with it, and give the officer an explanation as soon as possible. Master Zheng, don't you think?"
Zheng Qing felt that her shoulders could no longer hold her shoulders, her face was stiff, and she said, "Yes, yes."
Zheng Qing knew the purpose of Zhou Zheng's words. Zhou Zheng needed his nomination certificate. It was the best method to drag him into the water and let him deal with the Xiong family.
Zheng Qing knows the consequences of doing so, not only will offend the Xiong family, but also offend several important figures in the court who have promised to recommend him as the prefect of Yongping Prefecture.
But he didn't agree, what was waiting for Zhou Zheng to take him to jail!
He has no choice at all.
Yao Tongshun, Ding Qi, and Qi Lian watched from the sidelines, the expressions of the three of them were almost unanimous sneers.
This Zheng Qing was arrogant just now, and in a blink of an eye he learned to humbly.
At the same time, Qi Lian's gaze at Zhou Zheng flashed in terror.
Did Zheng Qing just vote for the name? In the future, if someone from the court makes trouble, isn't this Zheng Qing a good scapegoat
"Go, I'll wait for Master Zheng's good news." Zhou Zheng sat back in his chair, took a sip of tea, and then looked at Zheng Qing and said.
Zheng Qing had mixed feelings in his heart. Just now, he was so proud and ready to become the prefect of Yongping Prefecture, but he fell to the bottom in an instant.
He didn't have the ability to resist. He stood up, raised his hands, and said with a stiff smile: "Yes, the officials take orders."
Zheng Qing was very regretful and turned around and left Zhou Zheng's study.
Qi Lian, Shangguan Lie followed,'accompany' him, and rushed to the Xiong's compound again.
Looking at Zheng Qing's disappearing back, Yao Tongshun turned his head and said to Zhou Zheng: "My lord, Zheng Qing is afraid it won't be so easy to give up. He might come up with other things."
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "You stare at him. If there is something wrong with him, I will find him a position in the sixth department and recommend him."
This is the rise and fall, let Zheng Qing go to the bench.
Yao Tong said: "Yes, the next official will send someone to stare at him!"
Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "Today should be enough to deter many people. Tomorrow night everyone will come to a meeting to make a plan for the next step."
"Yes." Yao Tongshun said with a solemn expression, raising his hand.
Today, we are going to confiscate the Xiong's family and other big households, and then take action against a few stubborn villages. Once these are resolved, most of Yongping's problems can be resolved.
At that time, it is time for real kung fu.
Registered households, measuring fields, these are all meticulous work, time-consuming and labor-intensive, but very important, they are the most important part of their plan!
Zhou Zheng looked at the plan in front of him, his expression condensed slightly.
He pushed forward desperately, and the critical moment was about to come.
Registered households, clearing the land, and then redistributing, formulating taxes, and re-correcting the bad government of Yongping Mansion!
There is not only resistance from Yongping Mansion, but also worry about the court.
If there is an impeachment by the impeachment officer on the side of the court, not to mention guilt, it is to transfer Zhou Zheng away, and Zhou Zheng's effort will definitely be destroyed!
Zhou Zheng looks as usual on weekdays, talks, laughs and feasts, but in fact he is under pressure.
'Hurry, fast, fast...'
Zhou Zheng said to himself that he wanted to fight against the court for time and also against Jianlu. Chongzhen was two years away, not far away.
…
On the other side, Zheng Qing'led' Qi Lian, and Shangguan Lie returned to the gate of the Xiong Mansion.
Xiong Shiyuan watched Zheng Qing leading the way, with joy, and took two steps forward, saying: "Brother Zheng, you can come back, if you don't come back, my big yard will not be able to keep..."
Zheng Qing looked at the enthusiastic Xiong Shiyuan with a stiff expression. Yu Guang glanced at Shangguan Lie and Qi Shan beside him. The corners of his face were straightened, and he said in a deep voice: "Xiong Shiyuan, you have a lot of lawlessness. Fate, check Xiong Mansion, come here, get me arrested!"
Zheng Qing's words naturally didn't work, but with Qi Lian's cooperation, the soldiers quickly rushed forward.
Xiong Shiyuan was shocked, and said: "Brother Zheng, you and I have been classmates for many years, and I am still operating the prefect for you at the court, how can you avenge your revenge..."
Zheng Qing's complexion was pale, where could he speak.
Now that his wealth and life are in the hands of Zhou Zheng, how can he go away and offend Zhou Zheng for a bear incident, throw away his official body, and sit in prison? (End of this chapter)
