Duchang County Yamen.

Chen Jingrong, the magistrate of Duchang County, sat in the side room of Houya, with two maids pressing his shoulders behind him, and his face was filled with distress.

He had a small beard. He looked at the staff in front of him and said with a sad face: "Tell me, tell me, I have been an official for more than 20 years, but I have not encountered such a thing! What about the Nanhuangcheng Municipal Department, who brought two or three hundred people to my territory to arrest people and block a village, is to catch a water bandit. Tell me, is there such a thing from ancient times to the present?"

The staff smiled slightly and comforted him: "County Master, now the lake has been sealed, and hundreds of people have come to arrest people. It's no surprise that as long as we don't seal our Duchang County, it's easy to say."

Chen Jingrong sat upright and said, "You mean, you might also seal my Duchang County and the entire Jiangnan East Road?"

The staff just said casually, but when he saw Chen Jingrong's reaction, he suddenly realized something.

He didn't know how to answer, and hesitated: "No matter what, county master, we have to deal with it, and we can't always avoid it."

Chen Jingrong sat back slowly, as if a little dissatisfied, and said, "How can I meet him? Will I help him arrest people? The Nanhuangcheng City Department and the things Li Yan did in Hongzhou Prefecture are known to everyone in the world. If I help him, I will not be scolded to death."

The staff member had a curse and said with a smile, "County Master, even if we can't be on the surface, we can come secretly. Send someone to help and give some food. Just say that the county master has already known that he has ordered them to prepare. It is not light or heavy, and it is not a handle. Let Li Yan remember his love."

Chen Jingrong hesitated and said, "Not good. It's best not to do anything. Let's wait and see. Isn't it just a water bandit? It won't take long."

The staff member wanted to persuade him again, but Chen Jingrong suddenly frowned again and said, "I still think that Jiangnan East Road is not good. My Duchang County is adjacent to Hongzhou Prefecture. I can't say when the new law will come to us. It's better to leave this place of failure as soon as possible."

‘The entire Song Dynasty is implementing the ‘Shaosheng New Policy’, where can you hide?’

However, the staff said: "County Master, I have heard that there are several vacancies in Kaifeng City. The court has been selecting them. Can anyone who has a strong position can recommend or clear them?"

Chen Jingrong glanced at him without hesitation and said, "You are talking lightly. That is Kaifeng Prefecture, Bianjing City, the most wise district in the world. At the foot of the emperor, I am a remote small county magistrate. Can I have that kind of ability?"

The staff smiled and said, "County Master, everything is up to others. Who doesn't love money in this court? If you don't love money, you always have other hobbies in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? If you want to be your favorite, you will be a small magistrate, and you will be able to get it right."

After saying this, Chen Jingrong's mind was also moved and said, "I am in Beijing, but I have some connection. As long as I give some money, I can run a little. Kaifeng Prefecture should be much easier, but I'm afraid I'm the only one watching me?"

The staff immediately approached a little and whispered: "So, hurry up. Duchang County is already a place of right and wrong, so it is not advisable to stay for a long time."

Chen Jingrong thought about it, then suddenly fell on the chair and said, "Don't worry. Let's settle the matter in front of him."

Seeing that Chen Jingrong had retreated again, the aide looked a little unwilling and had to say, "Then, students can go there?"

Chen Jingrong looked at him, thought for a while, and said, "Yes. If you are not in the official position, keep a low profile and don't let people see it."

The staff member stood up and raised his hand to leave.

When Chen Jingrong saw him go out, his expression became more and more irritable. He hurriedly pushed off the hand on his shoulder and said, "Go and go, aren't you upset when you see me?"

The maid was startled and hurriedly stepped down.

Chen Jingrong sat on the chair, picked up the tea, and put it down again, feeling irritated.

The matter of Jiangnan West Road, especially Hongzhou Prefecture, has long been spread all over the world and is full of controversy. As the magistrate of Duchang County, separated by a lake, he was originally quite calm, but with the sudden invasion of Nanhuangcheng Municipal, he could not calm down.

I don’t know how many officials of Jiangnan West Road have suffered great trouble. Not to mention that the officials are gone and their future is gone, they will have to search their homes. The imperial examinations are prohibited for several generations!

This is so miserable!

Chen Jingrong's family knows his own affairs, and the things he did in the past that were not called things are now enough to be beheaded.

He has to prepare for the future and take the lead!

"Kaifeng Prefecture is nonsense, but there are still other places. Let's avoid the limelight first and see the direction of the wind." Chen Jingrong said to himself.

"Yes, I have to ask them a few more." Chen Jingrong suddenly said again.

As he said that, he got up and prepared to write a letter.

Officials from the Song Dynasty, especially after the incident on Jiangnan West Road, I don’t know how many people were worried and found another way out.

Chen Jingrong is not the first, nor is he the first hundred.

In the middle of the night, Duchang County staff, led a few people and a few food boxes, and found Li Yan.

Li Yan sat on a simple chair, opened the food boxes one by one, and saw that it was really full of food. There was a little more sneer on his already pale and gloomy face.

When the aide saw it, he hurriedly approached and whispered: "Father-in-law, my county master has given me a generous gift and then presented it to you. Please forgive me. The county master really can't come back for a while and cannot help me solve my father-in-law's problems..."

Li Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense to him. His patience was almost exhausted. Looking at the dark and dark village not far away, he said, "Our family asked you, is there any way to enter the village?"

The staff laughed and said, "Dadonald, there are not a thousand or eight hundred such a small village, and the villain does not know it."

Li Yan snorted coldly and said, "Go back and tell you the magistrate, I've recorded it. I will come back in a few days. I hope to see him."

When the aide heard that Li Yan was about to come again, he felt a little sad, bowed and said carefully: "In a few days, what is the matter with my father-in-law? Can the villain help?"

Li Yan waved his hand, too lazy to pay attention to him.

The staff member wanted to say something else, and Zheng Zhou pulled him over and said, "Go away!"

Several guards came over and dragged the staff away directly.

The staff member was thrown out of the military formation. He looked a little uneasy at the hundreds of people in the dark.

This person, like the rumored one, was arrogant and domineering, and did not take anything seriously. Not to mention him, even Chen Jingrong was not a big man.

The staff hesitated for a while and went back.

Li Yan was still patient, but with this trip to Duchang County, he was completely exhausted.

His eyes were red, he stood up suddenly and said loudly: "No more wait! Zheng Zhou called all the brothers, picked up the guys, and prepared to go into the village with me!"

Zheng Zhou walked closer and said, "Dad father-in-law, is it a forceful attack?"

Li Yan looked at the sleepy villagers at the bridge not far away and woke him up. He sneered and said, "If you don't get out of the sheath, as long as you can't kill me, just do it! Today, we want to see who gives them the courage to do this group of troublemakers!"

When Zheng Zhou saw this, he immediately became angry and started to call for help.

Following Zheng Zhou's order, the South Imperial City Command guards all moved forward. The one in front raised their shields, the one in the back held the scabbard, and began to force themselves towards the bridgehead.

When Datou saw it, he was shocked and woke everyone up to the convenience of his life. He also said anxiously: "Go and notify Uncle Qi, go!"
