Li Ling smiled, then subconsciously thrust his waist, then felt a burning pain on his back, grinning, and said, "County Master, Master Cao, do you think this matter is difficult to deal with?" Seeing the two nodding, he smiled again, "Some things are difficult to deal with, but in fact they may not be. Some people look scary, but in fact they are just a false appearance, just like a paper tiger, which looks quite intimidating, but as long as you breathe, it will fall down by itself."

When the two heard him say some mysterious words, they showed a deep thought expression. They were not stupid people, but on the contrary, they were both very smart. Some things were just not seen through in the game for a while. Now that they were broken by Li Ling's few words, their minds naturally turned around.

"Mr. County Master, in fact, if you say a thousand words, Zhuang Dianshi is only your subordinate. It would be a matter of just one sentence if you really want to give him a letter? What's more, we can come up with conclusive evidence, and are you afraid that he will fail? Not to mention the officials and servants in other county government offices, you have to decide whether they can serve in the county government office. Why do you turn around and make your county emperor fear them? It's because they are in awe of you!"

With a word, Wei Liang's expression changed instantly, from his previous aggrievance and hesitation to confidence and calmness. Yes, I am the one who is the master of the family, when will I still have to worry about these people below?

However, Master Cao looked more detailed: "Although you have some truths, the reality is that whether it is the matter in the county government or the government orders, everyone below needs to do it. If they refuse to obey the orders, they will be vented with Zhuang Hong, and the county master will not be able to do it."

"I just said that now the county government is the county master. This is the case with the big and small matters, and the same goes for those people." Li Ling said, looking at Wei Liang: "County Master, the one they rely on is that they are indispensable. If the county government is missing, they can't do anything. But in the eyes of the grass people, this is completely wrong. They overestimate themselves. As long as the county government is present, no one is a problem. Since they are disobedient, it's just that if they change it, it's hard to find a three-legged toad in the world. There are many people who are willing to do things and obedient on both legs! There are also many people in our county town who are ambitious and willing to serve the country. As long as the county emperor sends a message, someone will come.

"As far as I know, whether it is the servants or officials, their salaries are all allocated by the county master. What turn is they picky about? So as long as the county master is tough enough, their so-called resistance is not worth mentioning at all!"

These words completely opened the door to a new world for Wei and Liang. Even Cao Jin, who had been struggling in the officialdom for many years, could not think of this level. In the past, even if the officials he followed had disputes with local people in the local area, they finally compromised through clever methods and then slowly influenced everyone with gentle means, but they did not just come up so directly.

But if you think about it carefully, doing so can solve the current problems, and it can also increase the prestige of Wei County Magistrate in the yamen and county towns to an extremely high level! It can be said to be a killing two birds with one stone.

But after laughing, Wei Liang hesitated and said, "Is this a bit too fucking? After all, that's the livelihood of dozens of people. So what should they do if they are about to make trouble?"

Li Ling had been calculating for a long time and said now: "As long as the county magistrate sets up the rules in advance, it will not be considered as being punished without teaching! For example, give them a three-day deadline to visit the county government and arrange errands for them. If they cannot do it, they will be unused.

"As for fear of causing trouble, it's even more a joke. Our Jiangcheng County is not in a remote place, far away from the court, but local bullies can do anything wrong. We are only a hundred miles away from Hengzhou Prefecture and more than three hundred miles away from the provincial capital, and even from Luoyang, the capital of Luoyang, who dares to be presumptuous?

"Besides, the county magistrate is the local chief appointed by the court. As soon as he takes office, his subordinates contradict the trouble. This is to attack the court in the face. As long as he reports it truthfully, the superiors will only talk to you. The more they make a fuss, the more miserable they will die. What's more, there is a case of yute silk cloth, and the people will definitely stand on your side of the county magistrate. With such a good time, place, and people are all here, so there is nothing to worry about, and this matter will be accomplished!"

Li Ling said these many words incessantly, which made Wei and Liang stunned. But if you think about it carefully, it really makes this truth. Even if you don’t mention the face of the court, just Wei Magistrate’s own background, it would be a trivial matter to suppress a group of corrupt officials and bullies below.

At this time, his heroic spirit was also aroused, and he immediately slapped his name: "Well said! You can't retreat in this matter. The more you retreat, you want to calm down, those guys will only become more and more arrogant! I have decided, and I will do as you wish. Including today, I will give them three days to make a choice. If you have to be an enemy of me, then open them out of the county government!"

Cao Jin nodded and followed: "What the county magistrate said is, but this must be chosen. We can first kill the chicken and warn the monkey to remove some people who completely obey Zhuang Hong, so that the others will be honest. For example, people with household and torture houses cannot be kept!"

Li Ling was stunned and soon understood again. He thought that this old man was also very powerful, and he immediately grasped the main contradiction. The county government office had six houses, including the six departments of the court, which corresponded to the six departments of the court. This house was directly under the control of Zhuang Hong, the Dianshi, and naturally all of them were his confidants. As for the house, it was because the Dianji was Zhuang Hong's father Zhuang Heng in the early years, and all those who were left were disciples and old officials, so naturally they could not be used. It can be said that taking off these people would be equivalent to cutting off Zhuang Hong's two arms in the yamen, which was enough to wake up the others.

The next thing was that Wei and Cao came to discuss it themselves. After all, in terms of the officialdom, Li Ling, Bai Ding, was still a layman, so he just beat the edge drum. But this was enough. After this, he had become the magistrate of Wei County and was considered half an aide, so his relationship would naturally become closer in the future.

After talking about how to act, Cao Jin remembered another point: "Boss, what is Lin Lie's attitude? This person is also quite critical."

When they heard about Lin Lie, Li Ling was also a little concerned. He always felt that this person was not bad, and it would be a great help if he could win over Zhuang Hong together. But Wei Liang's expression was a little strange at this time and he snorted: "This Lin Lie is afraid it is not easy for us to use. I specially asked Ximo to come to him, but even his housekeeper could not enter and was sent by the housekeeper. Moreover, what he found out was that Lin Lie was the son-in-law of another county, and his father-in-law was Zheng Gen, a household clerk in the county government today, and Zheng Gen has a close relationship with Zhuang Hong..."

Only then did Li Ling understand why Lin Lie was so special that he could be his captain in the county government. It turned out that not only was his outstanding ability, but he also had such a relationship. Although this Dian official was only one step away from Dianshi, he was just a minor official in the yamen and was not at all. Of course, this was just compared to officials, and the power was quite amazing when they were placed in the county town, especially when they were in a gang, they could control the power of the entire county government and completely wipe out the county magistrate.

While thinking about it, he remembered another point. In the court yesterday, Lin Lie originally wanted to stand up and testify for him, but with Zhuang Hong's words, he suddenly retreated. What was that?

"Catcher Lin, I remember clearly that you have been working in Liuye Lane last night, so how could you appear in the county government?" This sentence has profound meaning and profound meaning! Li Ling's heart quickly turned and suddenly asked: "County Master, where is the home of Captain Lin?"

"It's just Baihe Lane not far from here, why?" Wei Liang replied casually. It was quite natural for the two of them to answer questions and answers, which made Cao Jin stunned. This was not like a conversation between officials and the people.

Li Ling didn't care about these details at this time, but just said, "Ruoxian Zun is trustworthy, I want to try to contact Captain Lin."

"Are you sure?"

"Sixty or seventy percent."

"Then try it. This person is indeed a little capable and has a good personality. If he can stand on our side, it should be of great benefit!"

Within a few words, the two of them decided on this matter. It was not until this time that they realized one after another. They felt that the two had a very tacit understanding, so they looked at each other and laughed again.

Finally, Wei Liang said: "The next step is to take a two-pronged approach. It is necessary to rectify the county government as soon as possible, and the case must be implemented quickly. Li Ling, I will leave the matter in the account book to you, don't let me down."

"I understand, and the county magistrate will be optimistic." Li Ling replied with his fist. Before he knew it, his relationship with the other party became closer, and even he claimed to have changed from being a grass-roots person at the beginning.

...

"Did you say Li Ling went to the county government again, or was Cao Jin brought it in?" After hearing the subordinate's report, Zhuang Hong's brows quickly frowned, "What the hell do they want to do?"

"It's just that our county magistrate has fewer people to use, so we can only find him to check the accounts." Zheng Gen, the official of the household house, was visiting the dealer at this moment, smiling relaxedly, "But he is only one, I don't believe he can get more. That's a headache for people who have been in charge of the accounts all year round."

"And he is the plaintiff. Even if we really provide any evidence, we will not recognize it." Ren Jun, the clerk of the execution room, also said with a smile.

While speaking, several people in the hall laughed disdainfully one after another. They really didn't think the new county magistrate could pose any threat to him. After all, he was no one available now and was lonely. What threats could there be? Thinking about the past few years, every new county magistrate in Jiangcheng wanted to seize power at the beginning and deal with and suppress them, but what was the result in the end?
