The arrival of Yan Liqiang added a lot of vitality to the Craftsman Camp. In addition to the wine he brought to everyone, on the way to the Craftsman Camp, Yan Liqiang also ordered a few roasted lambs to be delivered to the Craftsman Camp. With both wine and meat, the dinner of the Craftsman Camp that day became a feast for the teeth. Everyone was laughing and talking. How could everyone in the Craftsman Camp not like such a Yan Liqiang
After having dinner with everyone, Yan Liqiang and Qian Su came to Qian Su's residence. Then Yan Liqiang took out the gift for Qian Su, an old ginseng that was more than ten years old. It was not expensive, but it was thoughtful.
"It's enough that you just come. You also brought these things to me. Today we have wine and meat, which cost a lot!" In the living room, Qian Su, with a smile on his face, put the box of old mountain ginseng handed over by Yan Liqiang on the table, took a sip of tea, and said lightly,
"Uncle Qian, when you are not working hard for the country in the craftsmen's camp every day, you are leading the way in Huanglong County, having fun with the people and understanding their sentiments. After much thought, I really don't know what to give you, so I'll buy you a piece of old mountain ginseng to nourish your body..." Yan Liqiang said with a smile.
Qian Su had never heard of the jokes of "having fun with the people" and "understanding the people's feelings" in his life. When he heard Yan Liqiang say it, Qian Su, who was drinking tea, almost spit out his tea. Although he swallowed the tea in the end, he was choked and started coughing. Yan Liqiang hurried over and patted Qian Su on the back to help him calm down.
"Uncle Qian, are you okay..."
Qian Su, whose face was red from coughing, waved his hand and asked Yan Liqiang to sit back.
"I can see that you've been in Pingxi City for the past few months. I don't know if you've improved in other aspects, but your mouth has become more and more unforgiving..."
"Hahaha, I still need to learn more from Uncle Qian!"
"I don't know how your father, who is such an honest man, could have given birth to a son like you!" Qian Su shook his head and smiled bitterly. His smile was both helpless and comforting. "Tell me, how do you feel about being in Pingxi City these past two or three months? Are you used to staying in the National Martial Arts Hall? I know a few people in Pingxi City. If you need anything, I will write you two letters when you go back this time. You can take my letters to visit them. If you encounter any problems, they will take care of you!"
"Everything is going well in Pingxi City. There's nothing to trouble Uncle Qian for. I'll do you a favor and won't trouble you for the time being. I'll come to you for help if I need it!" Yan Liqiang smiled calmly. From the expression on his face, there was no sign of the life-and-death crises and ups and downs he had experienced in Pingxi City in the past two months. If he told Qian Su about those things, Yan Liqiang was afraid that Qian Su would be scared.
"Well, you are the best..." Qian Su laughed again.
"But there is one more thing I would like Uncle Qian to help me with..."
"Tell me, what's the matter?" Qian Su put down his teacup and his expression became serious. He knew that with Yan Liqiang's personality, the matter he wanted him to investigate must be no small matter.
"Uncle Qian, have you heard what happened in Pingxi City last night?"
"Ahem... Ahem... Well... What happened in Pingxi City last night?"
Huanglong County is neither far nor near from Pingxi City, and the news travels neither fast nor slow. Qian Su had a great time in a Zuiyufang in the county seat of Huanglong County last night, and returned to the Jiangxiying this afternoon. He really didn't know what happened in Pingxi City last night.
"It's like this. Last night, I had dinner with two friends from the National Martial Arts Museum in Pingxi City. Halfway through the meal, I noticed a carriage approaching from the window..." Yan Liqiang told Qian Su everything that happened last night in a simple and calm manner. Of course, what he said was the same as what he told others. Anyway, everything was just a coincidence. It was just that he was deeply impressed by the Shatu man, so he discovered that the Shatu man was in disguise, which led to a series of events later...
“What? You said that the son of County Magistrate Ye Tiancheng was dragged out of his house by the city residents and beaten to death in the street last night. The governor came to the scene, said a few words and left, leaving everything else to the Criminal Investigation Department…” Qian Su looked somewhat relaxed at first, but when he heard the rest, he was shocked, his eyes widened, and he couldn’t help but stand up all of a sudden.
"Yes, that's right..."
"Did you rush forward at that time?"
"Even if Ye Xiao is a scumbag among scumbags, I won't rush over. What's the point of kicking a dead dog? At that time, I just watched from a distance with those two friends..."
"That's good, that's good..." Qian Su breathed a sigh of relief, "Then the county governor was not in Pingxi City last night?"
"He's not here. He probably went back early this morning..." Yan Liqiang told Qian Su what he saw in the city this morning. "I always feel that Pingxi City will not be too peaceful in the future, so I want you, Uncle Qian, to help me find out if there are any mistakes on my part. And what changes will Pingxi City have in the future?"
Qian Su stood up, with his hands behind his back and a slightly frowned brow. He paced around the room and walked around twice before speaking. "If it's like what you said, then what happened last night has little to do with you. You don't have to worry about anything. Just don't be too high-profile. Li Qiang, you are a smart person and you should know what I mean. What you did last night can be considered a meritorious service, but it may also make enemies and cause jealousy. Try not to talk about this matter in the future. It's just that the situation in Pingxi City is a little hard to say. The son of the county governor has caused such a big thing. This matter can be big or small, but in any case, Ye Tiancheng will not be able to sit in the position of Pingxi County Governor for long..."
"Will the higher-ups take him down?" Yan Liqiang asked.
"It may be difficult to take him down!" Qian Su shook his head, his face solemn. "You may not be clear about some situations. Ye Tiancheng is from the Ye family in Ganzhou. The Ye family is a wealthy family in Ganzhou. The family has been officials for generations. Ye Tiancheng's great-grandfather was once the governor of Ganzhou. The Ye family has deep roots in Weiyuan County and has connections in all aspects. In Weiyuan County, it is said that the Ye family's fertile fields and farms are connected in a row. You can't walk to the end in a day. The Ye family has tens of thousands of servants guarding the courtyard. Ye Tiancheng is one of the spokespersons launched by the Ye family. It's not so easy to touch Ye Tiancheng. The Ye family will definitely find a way to keep him!"
"Is there no way to touch him?" Yan Liqiang said with some disappointment.
"That's not entirely true. I heard that the Governor of Ganzhou, Lord Lei, has long been dissatisfied with the Ye family..."
