Master Chai knew that Li Tiedan was going to act again, so he was stunned for a while and took a sip of tea: "What are you going to do, sir, what are you going to do? Should you ban County Magistrate Zhang's feet first, or should you arrest Master Mo for interrogation?"

"You have to know that if the influence of these two people in Beiliu County is really as you think, then it will be very big. We don't know how many people it involves."

"If you can't get conclusive evidence, they will definitely bite you. Not only will they not be able to cure these two people's sins, but they may not be able to save the black gauze on your head."

Li Tiedan took a sip of tea, and he had thought about the pros and cons of it.

As the deputy, County Magistrate Zhang is equivalent to the deputy county magistrate today. Many of his powers are not less than that of him, the magistrate. He is from Beiliu County, and his relatives and friends are here, so naturally there are more people who support him.

With the past twelve years of operation, looking at the entire Beiliu County, no one is more familiar with him, whether it is human or event. His prestige among the people is even more comparable to that of a merchant Huang Tianci.

If there is no strong evidence to prove that he has violated the law of the king, as long as someone is provoking it, it will arouse a huge public grievance and may even eventually turn into a civil rebellion. If he loses his black hat, he may not be able to keep his head.

But if the county magistrate Zhang is not controlled, he, as the magistrate, would be like a commander who is a famous person but has no power. It would be even more difficult to issue government orders in the future, and he would not even be able to leave the county government.

And the surging undercurrent that competes with him will definitely become stronger and stronger. The final result is to turn from secret to light and join the county magistrate Zhang to drive him, the county magistrate, out of Beiliu County.

So for him and for the people of Beiliu County, he had to have a head-on battle with Zhang County Chief. Whoever wins will be the real boss of Beiliu County, and whoever loses will be the winner's subordinate.

Thinking of this, Li Tiedan made the second biggest decision to come to this world and sweared to fight with County Magistrate Zhang. He cleared his throat and said, "Compared with Huang Tianci, County Magistrate Zhang is indeed much more difficult to deal with, but I also have my advantages."

"Advantages? What are the advantages?"

"As the saying goes, a senior official is a senior, and I am a senior level older than him. No matter how powerful he is, he must obey my arrangements on the surface."

"With that being said, you are at a disadvantage, sir."

“Which two places?”

"First, when Beiliu County was destroyed, County Chief Zhang did not choose to escape, but chose to accompany the people in the county, so emotionally, they were more willing to believe his words."

"Secondly, as you said just now, the reason why the big families in the county moved away was entirely because of Mr. Mo's encouragement, but this also shows that Mr. Mo has considerable appeal and prestige among the big families."

"By these two points alone, you have lost the harmony of the times and people. Now it is difficult to force the Chief Zhang County Master Zhang with the pressure from above."

"Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the performance of the old gentry in the past few days. One or two people are both hilarious and laughing, talking and laughing, and wishing you could be brothers and brothers to you."

"But once we talk about donating money, collecting strong men and attacking bandits, they all seemed to have eaten paste, and they kept their mouths closed without saying a word."

"I guess if you take out the authority of the magistrate and arrange affairs for you, he will definitely listen to you, but whether he does it or not, it will be hard to tell what he does."

Li Tiedan looked at the stack of paper on the table and said, "What can he do? It's nothing more than a lip service. Those who can do it late will never do it early, those who can do it slowly will never do it quickly, and those who can do it hard."

"That's why I asked you to send him this coordination. In this way, you will first send him twelve disputes in several townships around the county town, and let him keep fighting."

"Take this time, we will focus on dealing with Mr. Mo here. He is a civilian and an official. He is a few levels older than him. At that time, he is still afraid that he will not be able to help. With one move, many things will be easier."

Master Chai felt very relieved when he heard Li Tiedan's trick, but he was still worried and asked, "Sir, do you have a way to make this Master Mo move?"

"It's hard to say about this for the time being, but I have plans. Now you can ask Yuan Zilong to send work in the Zhang County Prime Minister's Mansion, and ask him to bring four soaps to monitor him in the name of protection. If there is any abnormal movement, you will immediately report it. Then you will secretly go to Mr. Chen to check Master Mo."

Although Master Chai felt something was wrong, he had no good idea for the moment, so he had to ask, "Sir, what should I check?"

"Let's check who died in his family over the past twenty years? Especially those who died strangely, I must check it out carefully."

After saying that, Li Tiedan took a sip of tea and walked out strode. Master Chai hurriedly asked, "Sir, what are you doing now? Could it be to visit Master Mo?"

Li Tiedan smiled, "The same plan can only be used once, and it will not work if it is too much. I'll go and see Cheng Dianshi first. Humph, he is like a playful official. If you don't go and see it for a day, he will be lazy."

"Then, I will go to the county trial institute again to visit the teaching instructor Wang Caimei, and ask about the bribery of Mr. Mo. You will not wait for me and Captain Du to have dinner at noon."

After saying that, Li Tiedan went out. Master Chai sorted out the paper on the table, took out the county first, counted the remaining ones, and found that there were indeed twelve disputes in the surrounding townships. He couldn't help but feel relieved again, and he also lifted the corner of his clothes and followed him out.

...

The Zhang Mansion is located in Beiliu South Street, half a mile away from the Xu Zhenjun Temple in the city. After the people in the county worship the Zhenjun in the temple, they often visit the Zhang County Magistrate.

Since Li Tiedan issued a notice of persuasion, refugees in the county have returned every day. The first thing they did when they came back was to worship Xu Zhenjun, who was particularly effective in the city. Therefore, Zhang's mansion has become lively today.

In the yard where I entered the third, the first one was a dozen people in ragged clothes, sitting by the stone table in the yard, drinking cold water; the second one was a two row of wing rooms, and more than a dozen large households were drinking herbal tea and chatting, waiting for the two big people in the third were coming out.

These two big names are none other than County Chief Zhang and Shaoshi Mo. At this moment, they were sitting at a large Hainan Huanghuali Wood Table, each holding a double dragon silver cup, eating meat and drinking wine.

"Sir, the student will wish you a glass." County Magistrate Zhang picked up the wine glass and drank it in one sip.

Master Mo took a sip of wine and smiled, "Jing Qiu (the name of Zhang County Magistrate), you and me have experienced so many things in Beiliu County in the past twenty years, and they are already a family, so don't be so polite in the future."

"Sir." County Magistrate Zhang held the cup again and said, "You must not say this. If you are a teacher for a lifetime, you will be a father. If you have a recreation of me, Zhang Yide, how can you abandon the word "ritual"?"

Master Mo smiled and said, "I have taught so many students in my life. You, Zhang Jingxiu, are the most polite and filial piety. Okay, let's drink another drink for us teachers and students."

"Do it!" After drinking in one gulp, County Magistrate Zhang poured a cup for Master Mo first, and then poured himself one cup, "Sir, do you think Zhao Dafu will move out of Beiliu County?"

"Definitely not."

"How can I see it?"
