"The magistrate of the family and the governor of the family."

At the beginning of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the administration was still fairly clear, but in this Shanyang County, which was not well known to all the officials in the court, Li Ke also saw the dim side of the prefectures and county government offices.

If a county lieutenant is like this, wouldn’t the officers under his subordinates be even more arrogant?

Li Ke originally thought that the salt industry was powerful, but because of his wealth, he did not expect that their hands were so long and their courage was so big.

Li Ke had previously learned from Xianniang that Yan Xing was arrogant, but he did not believe it. He wanted to wait until he arrived in Yangzhou to investigate, but before he arrived in Yangzhou, he had clearly seen the trend of Yan Xing in Huainan.

Although Shanyang does not belong to Yangzhou, it is also within Huainan Road and is mostly inextricable with the salt shops in Yangzhou. This is why Li Ke also had other thoughts and wanted to beat him before he arrived in Yangzhou.

Because Li Ke did not go to Yangzhou to be a puppet at the mercy of others, or just the superficial governor of Yangzhou. Once he left, he would take over the power of Yangzhou and become the real leader of Yangzhou. The great power of salt was a stumbling block that Li Ke had to overcome.

"You are in the tavern lobby just now, and you openly obstructed me from enforcing the law, but are you still aware of the crime?" As soon as you arrived at the inner hall of the county government, the county magistrate pointed at Li Ke and shouted coldly.

Li Ke looked at the county magistrate and asked, "The more Yan Lu abused lynching, he wanted to cut off people's skills. I spoke up for justice and stood up for the wrongs. The county magistrate did not ask about Yan Xing's crime first, but instead discussed my fault first. I don't know what the reason is?"

The county lieutenant said: "I did not see the conflict between Yan Li Yue and Wu Liu in person, so I still need to prove it. The lieutenant has ordered someone to pass it on. It is because I obstructed the lieutenant to enforce the law with my own eyes. The evidence is conclusive. Could it be that you can still deny it?"

Li Ke snorted and said, "I just saw the injustice and said a few fair words for Wu Liu. Could it be that I am guilty?"

The county magistrate said, "I see unfairness on the road? In my opinion, I can't say that you and Wu Liu are relatives. The two colluded with each other and deliberately wanted to ruin Yanxing's business."

Li Ke replied with a smile: "I first arrived in Shanyang and have never known people from Yanxing. Why do you want to ruin your business? What's more, you say that Wu Liu is my relative. If you collude with me, you may come up with evidence."

Li Ke is the emperor's parent-child, so who should his relatives be? What the county magistrate said is naturally ridiculous.

But when the county magistrate saw that Li Ke refused to give in, he was already angry with Li Ke. He thought Li Ke was young and vigorous, and secondly, he thought that Li Ke had become a spoiled since he was a child, so he had a little temper. So he said coldly: "Evidence, since you have come to my government office, there will naturally be evidence."

The county magistrate said, waved his hand, and the yamen runner behind him stepped forward, trying to take the man.

Just now, Li Ke wanted to return to the yamen, but Xi Junmai would naturally not interfere. But now there are yamen runners who want to move Li Ke, so how can Xi Junmai stay? He clenched his fists and stood in front of Li Ke, looking at the yamen runner who was about to step forward, and said aloud: "If anyone dares to touch my young master today, I will take anyone's life."

Xi Junmai has the ability to fight against the tiger, and there are more than ten elite imperial guards who are still unable to get close to them, let alone these yamen runners with a lot of martial arts skills in front of him.

These yamen runners may be able to deal with ordinary people, but they are really not enough to see Xi Junmai.

Others didn't know what Xi Jun bought, but Li Yue had suffered a loss in his hands. Li Yue said to the county lieutenant: "Be careful, this person has a bit of brute force and is very erratic."

After hearing Li Yue's words, the county magistrate didn't care. In his opinion, Xi Junmai was just taller and stronger than ordinary people. No matter how capable he was, could he still be able to compete with more than ten yamen runners?

The county magistrate is not afraid of him taking action. As long as he takes action, he will be a crime to fight against the court. This is a mountain of ironclad evidence.

But what the county magistrate expected did not happen, because when the county magistrate's yamen was about to take action, someone rushed out of the door and heard the news. The man ran very quickly, not only to ask the county magistrate's plan to fail, but also to save his life.

Because according to the laws and regulations of the Tang Dynasty, although fighting against the court is a serious crime, some people are not included.

"Qi Bi County Captain, Lord Governor is here." The visitor ran into the lobby and said to the county captain in the hall.

Lord Governor?

The county magistrate never expected that the governor would come here suddenly, which really caught him off guard.

The person who reported the news came in just a moment, and the governor of Chuzhou Fang An quickly walked in.

"Mr. Governor, I don't know what to come." The county magistrate saw Fang An enter and hurriedly stepped forward to worship.

The county magistrate stepped forward to show his gratitude, but the governor Fang An ignored the county magistrate and instead stepped forward to bow to Li Ke and said, "Fang doesn't know that the young master is here and cannot be greeted in person. I hope the young master will not blame him."

The county magistrate was low and had never seen Li Ke, but Fang An was the governor of Chuzhou. He had to go to Beijing to obtain his position every year. He had seen Li Ke more than once in the court. Naturally, he remembered Li Ke's appearance. However, Li Ke did not reveal his real name, so he naturally did not want to reveal his identity. Fang An came forward and did not call him the title of Prince Li Ke, but just called him the prince's worship.

Fang An knew Li Ke, and Li Ke also recognized Fang An. When Li Ke saw Fang An enter, he helped Fang An up and said with a smile: "It turns out that he is Governor Fang. What is the reason for this Governor Fang? If it weren't for Governor Fang here today, I may not be able to walk out of the Shanyang County Government completely by listening to the meaning of this county magistrate. If I have some time, I will become the father of the calligrapher and tell him that the merits of the commander."

Li Ke's words sounded polite, as if he was asking for help from Fang An, but there was no slight relief on Fang An's face.

Li Ke was extremely favored by Li Shimin. Unlike ordinary princes, Li Ke was taken into the yamen under his nose in Chuzhou. If Li Shimin had asked him to know about this, he would not have had any good fruits.

Fang An heard this and hurriedly said, "Young Master is really a traitor. The fact here is that Fang Mou is not strict in power. How dare you trouble the young master's pen? I hope you will be proud of your hands."

Fang An is not a mediocre official and has some skills. This year is his third year in Chuzhou. He was selected as the "Superior" for the last two years of the Ministry of Personnel's final exam. If he is selected as the "Superior" this year, he can be transferred to Gaosheng. He may be transferred to the governor of Shangzhou or to serve as an important member of the two capitals. He will be more lucky and may even be transferred to the Sixth Ministry and Ninth Supervisor as the official.

If it was really a letter from Li Ke who entered Beijing, not to mention being promoted, it was unknown whether his head on his neck could be kept.

The county magistrate next to him didn't know what this meant when he saw Fang An's words.

Fang An, the governor of Chuzhou, is a fourth-rank official. He is a person he once saw in the clouds and dared not climb up. But now he is standing in front of Li Ke with a submissive view, and regards himself as a subordinate. What should Li Ke be like?

Without saying a word, the county magistrate suddenly felt that his whole body had been drained, he was unable to stand firmly, and fell to the ground.
