The county magistrate looked at the carriage outside that was filled with gold, but it had nothing to do with him. His heart ached, and he was so uncomfortable that he almost lost his breath.
Zhao Si looked at his appearance and sneered in his heart. Are you feeling uncomfortable now? What makes you uncomfortable is yet to come.
After spending a few days with Zhu Yan and Xia Yuanqiu, he knew something about their temperaments. How could they let someone like the county magistrate go? After the house confiscation is completed, everyone will definitely be held accountable to him. Although he doesn't know what the outcome will be, he will definitely not make it easy for the county magistrate.
Zhao Si glanced at the black gauze hat on the county prince's head and wondered whether he could keep the hat. It was a matter of two minds.
The county magistrate didn't think so much. He thought that Zhu Yan was just an idle prince. No matter how powerful he was, it was impossible to take off his black hat. After all, only the emperor and the imperial envoy could do this kind of thing.
After he finished all the matters of confiscation of the house and watched the carts of gold, silver and jewelry being dragged to the orphanage, he could only gather his spirits and go to Prince Jing to return to his life and invite Prince Jing. It's better to live in the government office temporarily than to live in this simple orphanage.
However, Prince Jing immediately said to him: "I don't plan to live in that mansion, but it's not appropriate for you to continue living there. From now on, let Zhao Si live there."
The county magistrate was a little confused and didn't understand what the prince meant, so he hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, what do you mean?" He rolled his eyes and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I understand what you mean. Do you want Zhao Si to be reinstated? No problem, no problem. Zhao Si was temporarily suspended at the beginning, and the official wanted to reinstate him. The prince and the official really thought of it together. "
Zhu Yan sat drinking tea, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the county magistrate who was talking to himself, and said softly: "You may have misunderstood. What I mean is that you don't need to go back to that government office anymore. The county magistrate has The position will be taken over by Zhao Si, you can go home and farm."
When the county magistrate heard this, his legs softened and he knelt down in front of Zhu Yan: "Your Majesty, why are you doing this? Xianguan, Xianguan has always abided by his duty in Jincheng and loved the people like a son. Can you You can’t say that you have withdrawn and dismissed the official!”
Zhu Yan put the teacup on the table with a snap and said coldly: "Abide by your duty? Love the people as your own children? Are you sure you are talking about yourself?"
The county magistrate felt a little guilty, but for the sake of his official career, he couldn't let go of any chance.
"Your Majesty is aware that Xiaguan has never made any mistakes in the years he has been in Jincheng. Your Majesty cannot remove him from his position based on his own preferences. Xiaguan refuses to accept it!"
Zhu Yan snorted coldly: "You have never made a mistake? I was asking you, as the parent official of Jincheng, can you redress the grievances of the hundreds of cities in Jincheng?"
Only then did the county magistrate know why Prince Jing dismissed him from his post. It turned out to be because of Jin Ba's incident.
He was speechless for a moment, then Zhu Yan continued: "Jinba did whatever he wanted in Jincheng, killing people and looting goods, bullying men and dominating women. You didn't know about these things? Didn't the people in Jincheng ever file a lawsuit? And you What have you done?"
The county magistrate raised his eyes to look at the majestic His Highness Prince Jing. His peach blossom eyes were gleaming with cold light, and his face was like a crown jewel but full of evil aura. It was obvious that he was extremely disappointed with him.
He murmured: "Kinpachi's big backer is quite powerful in Kyoto. I don't dare to offend you easily. My lord, my lord is also helpless. Please have mercy on me, my lord!"
