Qixia Mountain outside Jinling City, Qixia Temple on Qixia Mountain.

Fang Jinbo, the head of the Fang family in Huating County, lives in this temple now, and is gathered here with fellow practitioners from all over the south of the Yangtze River, with different identities, but they are all considered to be practicing Taoism. They are very casual.

At least, it is such a party for outsiders. Moreover, Fang Jinbo and others have become a regular example for participating in such gatherings. Often, every three or five months, they will go to Qixia Temple to recuperate. During this period, ordinary people will not disturb them at all. Even if there is some trouble at home, they will be decided by their confidants.

However, this incident was not so easy to deal with. As noon approached, a gray pigeon flew to the backyard of the Taoist temple. Then a Taoist took the demolition and looked at the name above. He did not dare to be negligent, so he sent the letter to the front hall.

At this time, several common people in the hall were gathering and talking, but what they talked about was not the imagination of self-cultivation, nor did they involve the saying of Huang Lao of the Taoist sect. These guys who should cultivate themselves here were talking about the officialdom, and the officialdom situation in various parts of Jiangnan.

At this moment, one person was expressing his opinion: "There has been quite a change in the officialdom of Jiangnan recently. I only changed the governor two years ago, and later I even changed several major generals who led the army. This is actually reasonable. After all, Liu Runsheng has been in power for many years and must have cultivated many confidants. Since the court has taken it over, how could he feel assured to let his people continue to take charge of Jiangnan's power?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Fang Jinbo with a smile: "But one thing is quite surprising, that is, not only are the ordinary generals replaced, but even the prefect of Songjiang and the magistrate of Huating County where you are located in CB are also replaced in a hurry. They are not Liu Runsheng's people, and the inside story of this has to make people wonder."

Fang Jinbo coughed softly: "The prefect of Songjiang was mediocre and useless when he was in office. He had been under the guise of several subordinate officials. Perhaps it was because the court had the news that this decision was made. As for the prefect of Huating, it was actually similar..."

"It would be simple if it was really this way, but the problem is that it is worthwhile to change them at the same time. Has the court noticed something and deliberately sent someone here?" Another person said with a look on his face.

"Impossible! Whether it is Songjiang or Huating, although it is in Jiangnan, it is far from comparable to other places in terms of weight. Even if the court is aware of something, if it is really necessary to beware of changes, it should put people in a more critical position." The Taoist at the head of the head shook his head and opposed it.

"What if they had learned more about our plans?"

This question changed everyone's face. This assumption is too serious. If this is true, their plan will face great difficulties and challenges in the next plan.

"Have you ever had contact with the new Prime Minister Wei, can he use it for me or turn a blind eye?" The Taoist asked suddenly after pondering for a moment.

A man who was about fifty years old and about fifty years old shook his head gently: "I also had contact with this prefect Wei when he took office. Although he was young, he was extraordinary and was not greedy for money and lust. It would be difficult to win over him. So I let those officials of the government office continue to be underestimated, so that he would not become a stumbling block for us."

"Hmph, if he really dares to ruin our big things, he will kill you. Now Jiangnan is already under the control of our sect, and he will only wait for one opportunity to come. Not to mention a small prefect, even a governor, life and death are still in our thoughts?" A man who looked at a younger man said with disdain.

However, the others did not agree, and of course they did not dissuade them. Only Fang Jinbo lowered his head and snorted. This guy is like the Xu family, always so self-righteous, but he doesn't understand what it means to do step by step. The more important the matter is, the more careful it is.

Perhaps, this is also related to the fact that most of the people here follow the "Elder Fire". That person has a bad temper. When he really encounters difficulties, he thinks of just crushing him.

"As for Huating County..." Taoist changed the topic and looked at Fang Jinbo, "You can always hold on to Xu Family Jinbo, right?"

"Don't worry, Taoist priest, Xu Ziyang seems to be scheming, but in fact his mind is just that. If he really meets a powerful person, he can make his Xu family doomed, and I can control it."

"Then continue to control the county government by controlling them, and then you will ignite the first fire."

"Yes, I understand!" Fang Jinbo nodded seriously, and at the same time, a little excitement flashed on his face. After years of planning to lie dormant, today, we will finally see the conclusion. Moreover, this first fire will bring him some, and the first achievement will naturally be with him. Thinking about the glory after the event is completed, he is a little uncontrollable.

Then the few people discussed some things, then they each got up and left the hall.

When Fang Jinbo came out of the hall and thought that he would be able to go back in two days, he saw his son Fang Changsheng waiting on the side with a serious expression. When he saw him coming out, he quickly met: "Father, something happened at home." While saying that, he sent the flying pigeon to him.

"Huh?" Fang Jinbo was stunned for a moment, thinking that something was wrong with a certain incompetent nephew in the family, but as he looked down at the content, his face quickly became solemn, and he blurted out, "How is this possible?"

Yes, the content on this paper is so surprising, even ridiculous.

It has only been more than ten days since I left Huating, and it only took a while for the new county magistrate to take office. How could he suppress the Xu family like the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves? Even Xu Ziyang and his son were taken down by him?

This is unreasonable. Hasn’t the Xu family always been the decision of the county government? Even the previous county magistrate Xu was just a puppet. How could a newly appointed county magistrate easily do it?

However, the content on this paper was really limited, and only a result was given, but the specific cause and effect were not included. This made Fang Jinbo more and more confused and he was more eager to go back and ask for the truth. The only thing that made him feel a little relieved was that the Fang family was not involved in this matter and did not suffer any losses.

"Chang Geng is still very steady in his behavior, so there is still room for recovery, especially for him..." After slowly exhaling a breath of turbid air, Fang Jinbo waved his hand at Fang Changsheng: "You go back and have someone pack your luggage quickly, we will go back today." As he said that, he had turned around and went back without waiting for his son to respond. He had to tell others about the changes in Huating. Maybe he would have to rely on their strength to deal with the new county magistrate.

...

When a team of people escorted the prison car to the Songjiang Prefecture yamen, it quickly attracted the attention of many people nearby. It was not until several officials guarding the yamen came forward to ask that the people quickly dispersed, but they were still watching the excitement around because someone had already recognized that the prisoner in the prison car was Lord Yang in the yamen.

"Where are you from the official mission? Why do you bring people to the government office?" Looking at the dusty officials, the head of the government office officials asked in an official manner, but did not take a closer look at the person in the car.

Li Ling, sitting on the back of the horse, clasped his fists and said, "I am the magistrate of Huating County, Li Ling, now the Songjiang Prefecture official, Yang Tianyou colluded with bandits and wanted to assassinate me, but later failed and was captured. I specially sent the criminal to the government office and handed over to the Taigong University!"

"What?" Not only the leading officer, but others also changed their faces and screamed after hearing this story. Only then did they see clearly that the prisoner who looked down in the prison car and looked embarrassed was Yang's experience that had just left the yamen with his might a few days ago.

"Bold! The little county magistrate dared to slander the officials of our government office like this. Come on, hurry up and rescue Lord Yang with me and take them all down!" The chief of the officer reacted and was frightened and shouted and wanted to steal the person.

But just as he moved, a person beside Li Ling was already rushing out of the horse's back, and came to him with a cry, and grabbed his clothes: "What did you say? I want to rob the prisoner, ask me the knife in my hand before talking about it!" It was Wan Shenji who took action.

As the captain of the Imperial City Department, he not only has a good martial arts, but also has a great momentum, and it is not something that a small servant in the government office can resist. Just this attack makes the other party's body stiffen and his face turns pale. As for the others, they also stopped there after saying this, and dared not make any moves.

Li Ling said at this time: "What are you still doing? Go and report to the Lord of the State Council! If there is any abnormal movement, I will think that you are also his accomplices. Be careful not to be able to bear it!"

County Magistrate Li was as powerful as Wan Shenji. He was so scared that several servants agreed quickly, then turned around decisively, ran into the government office, and went to report the news.

And such majestic performance naturally fell into the eyes of the people around them, causing them to whisper, wondering what the County Magistrate Li had to rely on, how could he dare to take the government officials and speak like this after escorting the people back.

Also shocked were Yang Wanquan, the chief magistrate of the government office who had just received the report, and Li Youzhen, the chief magistrate who was guarding the gate, but did not inform the chief magistrate of such a serious matter, but first informed them of the news.

The two assistant officials of the government office were naturally frightened and furious after hearing the news: "Bold, County Magistrate Li is so brave. He dared to detain all the superiors and officials of our government office, and... he also took them back. Do you want to wait for me to look good? He thought he was and where is this place!"

When Li Youzhen rebuked him angrily, Yang Wanquan quickly calmed down. The Huating County Magistrate Li Ling knew something about it. He was the head of the Ministry of Revenue in Beijing before. It is said that he had done several major events when he was in Beijing and was a powerful figure.
