Hengzhou Prefecture Office, Chen Han held the book in his hand and hurried to the prefect's General Office. The prefect Di Guanyue, who heard the footsteps, raised her head from the file on the case, signaled him to come in and asked, "What's wrong? What's wrong with Chen's mansion pushing you so anxious?"

Chen Han crossed the threshold and came to the case in two steps, pushing the book in his hand over: "Sir, look at this novel book that has been circulating in the city now. Wei Liang in Jiangcheng is becoming more and more unscrupulous, and he actually wants to use this to force us to make concessions."

"Huh?" Di Guanyue took the book casually, and saw that the words "Bao Gong Case" were written on the cover. When she opened the book, she found that a corner had been folded. She glanced at it with all directions. While he was reading the book, Chen Han was not idle and continued: "The cases written in this book are completely based on the case of Huangma donation in Jiangcheng County, but they just changed the names of several characters. Now, this book is selling well in our city, which is deeply loved by the people. Some insiders have even begun to pay attention to the previous case..."

After only reading a few pages, the prefect Di put the book back on the desk, and his eyebrows slowly gathered: "They are really brave!"

"That's it. Even though we know that not only our government office doesn't want to pursue this case, but also the governor... But they didn't give up and even used such tricks. It's really hateful!" Chen Han agreed with a gloomy face, "This Wei Liang is too brave!"

Unexpectedly, Di Guanyue shook her head: "No, I'm not referring to him, but the bookstore that dares to publish and sell this book. Where did they get the courage? Also, who did this book write it? This matter must be investigated clearly and investigated to the end!"

"Well, sir, I sent someone to check it out two days ago. This novel was written by a scholar named Li Ling in Jiangcheng County. It was the young man who had just passed the exam for the fame and fortune and met Xiaguan. As for why he wrote this book, it was obviously because of Wei and Liang's intentions and wanted to put pressure on us.

"As for the bookstore that published the version of the book, it is the Zongheng Bookstore that has just opened recently. It is Wanjia's industry and the store run by Wanjia Jiushao Wanlang." Chen Han was a little surprised, but explained truthfully, and at the same time he carefully looked at his boss.

Sure enough, Di Guanyue's brows tightened after hearing what he said: "Is it actually related to the Wan family?"

"Yes, somehow, Li Ling had a very good relationship with Wan Lang. It is said that Zongheng Bookstore was also opened by them in partnership, and its business has been very good recently. And this book, together with the set of "The Romance of the Gods" written for him, has been sought after by the people in the city..."

"So this matter can't be covered up?" After knowing that it was the Wanjia bookstore responsible for the sale, the prefect Di no longer mentioned any disposal. Although he was a local prefect, the Wanjia was the local tyrant in Hengzhou. If there was a conflict, he would not be able to take advantage of it. Moreover, he had to rely more on the cooperation of the Wanjia in his post, so it was impossible for him to get into evil with them in this small matter.

Chen Han sighed helplessly, and then said, "Although the Wan family is not easy to deal with, we may be able to warn and beat Jiangcheng County. What Wei Liang did is too bold!"

"Do you think Weiliang can easily suppress it if he is just a county magistrate? I have told you that his backer in the court is no smaller than ours, and he is a figure of Jian Zai Dixin. If you really have a dispute with him, you and I may not be able to get a favor. Besides, he has the right to make a case itself, and if he refuses to give up, it is really hard for us to force it."

Chen Han widened his eyes. Therefore, he kept urging the prefect to suppress the case and eliminate his own interests because he knew the other party’s backer and related internal information. In his opinion, among the many local officials in the Huai River, there are really few backgrounds that can be compared with his own, but now he has received such an explanation...

After a while, he hesitated and said, "So according to the words of the Lord, let's just let this go?"

"It's not that I'll just let it go, but it's time to report the case to the court in real life, and to communicate with the governor, and report it at the same time so that the court can resolve the case with justification."

"Yes...but this..." Chen Han was shocked and said for a long time: "How should Dr. He explain it? This matter is closely related to him. He wrote another letter before..."

"I believe that I'll be burned long ago. As for how He Bizhen deals with him, it depends on his ability and fortune."

"Yes...but isn't he a member of the Mainland Prime Minister? You are the same as the Mansion..." At this point, Chen Han was stared at by the other party and immediately reacted, with a cold back on his back, and he had already stopped talking.

Now, under His Majesty, Lu and Tang, two ministers under the court, have different government affairs, and countless officials under their jurisdiction. He Bizhen, the doctor of the Ministry of Works, and Di Guanyue, are both disciples of Lu prime ministers, and can be called a party. But I can only talk about this kind of thing in private and you must not really get it on the table, otherwise it will be a party for private purposes, and it will be enough for anyone to drink.

After stopping the other party's remarks at first sight, Di Guanyue said, "I have tried my best to help him suppress the matter for several months. Now that he is unable to do anything. If he really makes any mistakes in the next Beijing Campaign due to the case, I can only say that I can't help it."

After pausing, he looked at his subordinate who was a little panicked and said, "By the way, this time you have sorted out all the relevant case files and sent them to the capital, don't forget to send this novel and the Romance of the Gods together. I heard that Lu Xiang has always liked to read these novels. Since it can be popular in the city, it is somewhat interesting."

"The official understands, I'll make arrangements now." Chen Han felt a chill on his back and heart, but he still bowed respectfully to accept the order, and then he staggered out of the hall slightly.

Seeing him leaving, Di Guanyue raised her eyebrows and said, "Li Ling..." She remembered this name deeply in her heart, and then buried her in the document as if nothing had happened.

However, Chen Han breathed a sigh of relief after returning to his official hall. The pressure on the magistrate just now was too great. What made him even more shocked was that he had heard some hint from the other party's words - Prefect Di actually intended to take down Doctor He of the Ministry of Works through this case and then replace it!

I thought it was just thinking too much, but after sitting down and thinking deeply, Chen Futui felt that his guess was almost the same. Because the identity of the prefect Di was here, he was the fifth-rank prefect. After walking up, he happened to be the fourth-rank doctor. Moreover, he was also a young official that Lu Prime Minister valued a lot. Once He Bizhen was driven down, he would have a great chance.

What's even better is that the prefect had already shown to his colleagues that he had the strength to ensure that He Bi really wanted. But this time something went wrong, so he had to cut off his arm!

Thinking about this, Chen Han felt a little more awe of his boss without realizing it. He turned around the situation that was originally unfavorable to him. As expected, he still needed to learn more about being an official from him. Fortunately, there is still time, and the Beijing Chase will have to wait until after the spring next year.

Then, he thought of the real cause of this series of changes, and unconsciously said the familiar name: "Li Ling..." Just a mere scholar can cause storms in the officialdom. So what kind of changes will he bring if he really enters the officialdom one day?

...

In an inconspicuous small wine shop in the mansion city, Zhao Chenghuang sat there slowly drinking turbid wine, his eyes swept across the guests coming in from time to time, obviously waiting for someone.

Ji Wuyou was sent back to Pingjiang Anhui by him many days ago, but Zhao Chenghuang did not leave. On the surface, he stayed in the city for business matters, but in fact, it was for other important things.

As time came to afternoon, there were no customers in the restaurant, so a traveling merchant entered the store, sat in front of the table behind Zhao Chenghuang, and came back to back with him.

Everything seemed so normal, even the shopkeeper in the restaurant didn't pay attention to these two drinkers, let alone the others.

But if someone leans forward and listens carefully to their conversation, he will inevitably scream in shock and then run to the government office to report it-

"Have everything been shipped to Jiangnan?"

"Yes, weapons, gold, silver, food and grass... after several years of preparation, they have all been all over there. Just wait for an opportunity to raise an army."

"Don't worry, the opportunity will come soon. Within three years, chaos will surely arise in the Central Plains. The rise of our religion is right in front of us."

"The world of Luotian is full of things, and the universe is all over the world! However, there are still a few people in the sect who are not optimistic about our plan, especially the sect guardian, who have ruined our affairs several times and repeatedly..."

"Hmph, he can't jump for two days. He is lucky if he can't take him here before, but next time, he will definitely die. I'm already arranged the matter and can be started within the year."

"Yes, then, brothers will definitely cooperate with the protectors."

"Well... there is another thing. Will the matter during the hospital examination that day that you secretly investigated have any results?"

"It has been found that it was the Wan family's people who bribed several soldiers before the exam. And just those guys who took action explained that it was the game that Wan family's Jiushou Wan Lang wanted to vent his anger for one of his friends."

"Wanlang's friend..." Zhao Cheng slowly turned the porcelain cup in his hand, and a dangerous light shone in his eyes, "Is it the candidate named Li Ling in Jiangcheng?"

"It's him, it is said that he has passed the scholarship exam."
