Zong Ze picked up the teacup and drank tea, thinking about it.

The water on Jiangnan West Road was deeper than he expected. Now the court has been fully intervening and muddying the water, which should be a good thing for him. But he always felt that his idea might not be correct, and if he wanted to implement the "New Policy", the resistance would be much greater than expected!

Not long after, Li Yan came in.

He was dressed in white, dressed as a scholar, with long faces and pale eyes, narrow eyes and smiles all the time.

This was the first time Zong Ze saw Li Yan, and he felt uncomfortable at first sight.

This person gives him a gloomy feeling. From his face, this person is the kind of villain who is secretly slutty behind his back.

Li Yan still had dust in his hand. He walked in, looked at Zong Ze and Zhou Wentai, raised his hand with a smile, and said, "Little Li Yan, I have met Zong Xianggong, and the prefect Zhou."

The term "官网" tends to be rampant among the people. A territorial official like Zong Ze is qualified to be called "官网" privately.

Zhou Wentai didn't say anything and looked at Zong Ze.

Zong Ze didn't like this person at first sight, and said with a normal expression: "Eunuch Li, please sit down."

"Xie Zong's grandson." Li Yan always seemed to have a smile on his face, responded and sat down opposite Zong Ze.

After the servants served tea, Li Yan looked at Zong Ze and said, "Grandpa Zong, the villain knew that you had arrived in Hongzhou Prefecture and wanted to visit him as soon as possible. But the palace wrote that he wanted to open an iron ore. The villain dared not neglect it. He went to personally investigate and just came back. Now, he came to visit Mr. Zong and report some things."

Zhou Wentai had dealt with Li Yan, but knew that this person was sweet-mouthed and had no expression on his face.

Zong Ze looked at him and said, "What do Eunuch Li want to report to me?"

Li Yan sighed and said, "Zong Xianggong has nothing to do. The so-called poor mountains and rivers come out of troubled people. The troubled people on Jiangnan West Road are particularly violent. They do not say that they attack the government, beat the officials, resist the "new policy", disrespect the emperor's orders, and even openly bribe villains. The Nanhuangcheng Municipal Department took decisive action and arrested many people."

Li Yan "strikes the government", the other "beats the official officer", and "disrespects the emperor's orders", and one charges are greater than the other. In the end, he also "bribery".

Almost anyone can understand Li Yan's words, that is, "If you fail to ask for bribes", it turns into "bribery", and then arrest and search the house!

Zhou Wentai looked colder and gently picked up the teacup.

Zong Ze seemed to be unable to understand and said, "How many people have been arrested in the Nanhuangcheng Department and how many families have been confiscated?"

Li Yan looked embarrassed and bowed and said, "This, the villain is here to supervise the mine for the official family. I don't know about the Nanhuangcheng Municipal Affairs Bureau."

Seeing Li Yan's refusal to two or sixty, Zong Ze said: "The Imperial City Department is under the jurisdiction of the Political Affairs Hall. The Nanhuangcheng Department is located on Jiangnan West Road. Since I am a governor, I will naturally be under my jurisdiction. If I want to check the accounts, can the Nanhuangcheng Department take out the account books?"

Li Yan's embarrassed expression stiffened for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "Grandpa Zong, the villain just said that the affairs of the Nanhuangcheng Municipal Department are not clear about. If you want to check the accounts, you have to go to Commander Cai."

Zong Ze still looked normal and said, "That's why Eunuch Li has no objection."

Li Yan looked at Zong Ze with a smile, and his pale face flashed by with a hint of sinisterness.

If Zong Ze used this to say hello to Cai You, he would really be able to take the Nanhuangchengsi from him.

After all, the inner prisoners of the Song Dynasty actually had a low presence and had no ability to fight against these civil servants.

Li Yan saw that Zong Ze was difficult to deal with, and his smile became even stronger, saying, "Zong Xianggong said this, as if the villain is so important. A word can make Commander Cai obey orders."

Seeing that Li Yan did not let go, Zong Ze said, "Eunuch Li, the original minister is just a new arrival, and I need to win people's hearts. I want to release all the people arrested by the Nanhuangchengsi. Can you agree?"

Li Yan seemed to be mentally prepared and said, "As far as villains know, the Imperial City Department can rarely come out if they arrest people."

Zhou Wen had no expression on the table and was extremely disliked by Li Yan.

Li Yan was going around the corner, but he understood very well. That is, the property confiscated by the Nanhuangcheng City Department could not be paid for. The person arrested could not be released!

Seeing Li Yan not entering, Zong Ze said, "I know the court needs a large amount of iron ore, but this is the first time I heard about the Huangmen Mine in the palace. When will Eunuch Li return to Beijing?"

Li Yan heard Zong Ze’s threat.

If Zong Ze, the highly valued governor, governor, strategy, and general manager of Jiangnan West Road, wrote a letter to impeach him, he would definitely not have a good ending!

The smile on Li Yan's face did not change, his narrow eyes narrowed, and his tone said coldly: "When will our family return to Beijing? It is not up to the decision of the Zhengshi Hall or the Zong Xianggong, so the official family will have to speak. Zong Xianggong, our family advises you that although the Imperial City Department is under the jurisdiction of the Zhengshi Hall, the one who is truly loyal to it is the official family."

Zhou Wentai's eyelids twitched.

Li Yan is making harsh words and is about to tear his face apart.

Li Yan appeared on Jiangnan West Road, adhering to the official's intention. He also took charge of the Nanhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee, which obviously wanted to monitor all aspects of Jiangnan West Road.

If Zong Ze had a conflict with Li Yan, he would indirectly have a conflict with the official!

Zong Ze was a little surprised. Li Yan was a little too tough here.

In the past, the inner supervisors in the palace, not to mention being afraid of them, they should at least be respectful when they saw them. Li Yan was quite fierce.

Zong Ze looked motionless and said, "Eunuch Li, are you afraid?"

Li Yan seemed to be called out, and the disgusting pale smile appeared again, saying, "Mr. Zong, you have your mission, I have my emperor's destiny. We will not violate the river water, and we will be at peace with each other."

Zhou Wentai looked at Zong Ze, and when he saw Zong Ze nodding slightly, he also knew it.

Zong Ze's straightforward test revealed Li Yan's background.

This person who came to Jiangnan West Road and took charge of the Nanhuangchengsi was the official. He should have some things that could balance Jiangnan West Road. Even the Nanhuangchengsi could even take down the Nanhuangchengsi, a rank-in official!

"How can the well water not interfere with the river?" Zong Ze looked at Li Yan and asked in a normal tone.

Li Yan had a little proud look on his pale face and said, "A villain does something about a villain, and his grandfather Zong does something about a grandfather Zong. If there is a possible conflict, communicate with each other to reduce misunderstandings. When the villain returns to Beijing, he will inevitably give good words to his grandfather Zong in front of the official family. When the grandfather Zong returns to Beijing, he will definitely be promoted and promoted to a higher level."

Zong Ze sat upright, looked directly at Li Yan, and said, "Eunuch Li, I hope that in the future, the Nanhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee will be able to inform me in advance and get the consent of me. The cavalry of the Nanhuangcheng Municipal Party Committee will not leave the city without my permission."
