The Minister of Personnel recommended Qian Zhong to be the magistrate of Qiongzhou in the early morning. Unless Qian Zhong died, this matter could not be changed.

Li An wanted someone to secretly get in touch with Qian Zhong in the morning. Who knew that he was a step late, and before the morning was over, Qian Zhong reported to the Ministry of Personnel, took his elder brother Qian Bo out of the city after taking office documents. He went to Qiongzhou, and his family was brought to Qiongzhou by his younger brother Qian Ji later.

   Li An couldn't help but stop, feeling that as long as the matter was related to Gu Jingyun, his luck was always bad.

   Fortunately, although Qian Zhong is not one of his, he is not one of the four princes.

  Wei Yingjie also comforted him, "His Royal Highness, the fourth prince may not have noticed Qiongzhou, the Qin family is still safe."

   "But once Gu Jingyun returns to Beijing, it will definitely become the focus of the capital, and the Qin family will also be pushed to the forefront. We have to prepare early."

   Peng Yu pouted and said, "His Royal Highness is too worried. With Gu Jingyun's scheming, he wouldn't have considered it? I'm afraid he's already prepared."

  The prince moved in his heart, touched his chin and said, "This time the county magistrate of Qiongzhou has decided too quickly..."

   Wei Yingjie stared and said hesitantly, "He's just a scholar now, so he shouldn't have the ability..."

   Can actually intervene in the appointment of the Ministry of Personnel?

  Peng Yu also said: "His Royal Highness looks at him too highly."

   Li An glared at him, "You are the one who says he is smart, and you are the one who says he is incompetent. What do you think?"

  Peng Yu held a sigh of relief in his heart, he just felt that Gu Jingyun had taken too much of Taisun's mind, but he was just a young talent, would he still be good after the middle class?

   "Did you tell your father about Gu Jingyun?"

  Peng Yu shook his head, "Didn't Your Highness say that it should be kept secret for the time being?"

  Li An nodded, "No one is allowed to expose Gu Jingyun before he comes to Beijing."

   Although Peng Yu didn't like Gu Jingyun, or even envied him, he also knew the importance.

   He and Taisun are of one mind, but his father...

  Peng Yu scratched his head, and finally decided not to say anything and not get involved in the struggle between them.

   At this time, Qian Zhong and Qian Bo who hired a carriage had just passed Baoding.

   They decided to go by water, which would be faster and safer.

   It wasn't until he got on the boat and lived in the cabin that Qian Zhong's mind relaxed a little after being tense all day and night.

   He is thirty-five this year, but he looks nearly forty, with white hair on the temples and tight lines on his forehead. It can be seen that he is usually unsmiling and very serious.

   On the other hand, Qian Bo looked older than him, his back was slightly arched, and a pair of old tree-bark-like hands quickly rubbed the rope.

They came out in a hurry, and only had time to pack two bags. They were all changed clothes, and they didn't even have a pair of shoes to replace. He planned to take advantage of the two more pairs of straw sandals on the boat and replace the cloth shoes on his feet. Qiongzhou wear again.

   This will not be too revealing.

  Qian Zhong sat on the side and folded the letters in the bag and put them in his arms. Seeing that his elder brother was holding hands, he persuaded him, "It's getting late, elder brother, let's do it tomorrow, we have to stay on the boat for many days."

  Qianbo raised his head and smiled, and said in a low voice, "I made up a lot. When the time comes, I can sell it ashore, and I can earn some money."

  Qian Zhong sighed and picked up the straw rope on the boat's board to help twist it, "I'm the one who got you involved."

Qian Bo shook his head, "How can you say that, do you just see him bullying the villagers and our little sister? You are an official, and it is your responsibility to ask for orders for the people. We are in this situation because their fourth prince and the Wu family bully others. Too much, you blame yourself for their mistakes, don't you make the enemy happy to hear it?"

   Qian Zhong was even more ashamed.

  The eldest brother is like a father, even more so for Qian Zhong. His parents have long since passed away. It was his eldest brother who supported him all the way to study the imperial examinations, not only gave him the foundation of his life, but also taught him the principles of life.

   For him, the wisdom of the elder brother is the best in the world, and he will never finish it in his life.

  Qian Zhong touched the letter on his chest and whispered, "Brother, we may be able to avenge the third brother."

   Qian Bo's eyes were reddish, and he hesitated.

  The Wu family and the Qian family have an undeniable feud.

  For the Wu family, it was an insult to them to be sued by a group of untouchables, not to mention that Wu Zhi also lost his post because of this, so he wanted to kill the Qian family.

   But for the Qian family, they have the lives of their family members in the hands of the Wu family, and this hatred is irreconcilable.

   Otherwise, Qian Bo would have returned to his hometown with Qian Zhong long ago, so why bother to stay in the capital?

  Yangzhou is their hometown after all, where they have fields and land, and Qian Zhong has a good reputation. Even if he is not an official, he can live a good life as a squire.

   But Qian Zhong was not reconciled, nor was he reconciled. Their third brother died in the conflict, and their little sister was taken home because of the conflict. How could they be able to swallow this breath?

  Wu Zhi loves money and condones his subordinates, but it's not worth Qian Zhong's death in Beijing to sue the imperial court. He also has many euphemistic ways to please the people.

The reason why he is so fierce is because Wu Zhi loves **** more than money, especially his wife. Sixteen families are torn apart because of him. What makes Qian Zhong sad is that the young women who were robbed did not commit suicide in the county magistrate's office. It was not their fault that they went home, but they were carrying the greatest malice in the world. There were only three people who could withstand the pressure and not die.

   One of them is his sister!

   But what if he didn't die, the third brother was beaten to death because of the person who blocked Wu Zhi, and the younger sister has been brooding. If she hadn't wanted to take care of the child left by the third brother, she would have died long ago.

   Every time I think about it, Qian Bo feels like a knife in his heart, but the Wu family is too powerful, and there are four princes behind him, so he can only sue him for occupying the land.

   They have always had evidence that Wu Zhiqiang robbed civilians and killed ordinary people, but they didn't show it, just so that one day these evidences could really allow Wu Zhi to serve his sentence, not just dismissed from office.

  The second brother said that officials have privileges, and the privileges of the Wu family who are backed by the prince are even greater. Unless they are greedy, kill people of the same status, and rebel, it will be too difficult to let the other party die.

  Their evidence must be saved on the edge of the blade.

   Qian Bo stretched out his hand and patted Qian Zhong, and asked in a low voice, "What's your order when the benefactor asked us to go to Qiongzhou?"

  Qian Zhong shook his head, "No, his letter only asks me to be a good magistrate of Qiongzhou, and does not allow outside forces to interfere in Qiongzhou, especially the forces of the Fourth Prince..."

  Qian Zhong lowered his voice and said, "Qiongzhou is poor in materials. The only special thing is the criminals in the exile. There are not only robbers and murderers, but also various criminal officials. Maybe there are people who have been favored."

   Qianbo frowned slightly, "What kind of good guy is the criminal? He won't let you do bad things, right?"

   Although Qian Bo wanted revenge, he didn't want to do bad things, which was inconsistent with his character.

Qian Zhong smiled and said, "Brother, don't worry, Engong said that he knows what I am and won't let me do anything illegal and moral." He paused and said, "Da Chu's officialdom has been greedy and chaotic for a long time. Corrupt officials are in power, and there are naturally those who were exiled to Qiongzhou who were wronged.”

  Chamber was a little relieved.

   This is the first position Qian Zhong has found in the past two years. Although the situation is bad, the two are still full of hope and look forward to Qiongzhou.

   But when they actually landed in Qiongzhou, the two of them couldn't help being dumbfounded.

   Although Qiongzhou Prefecture is called a prefecture, it is actually a county system. As a county, its area and total population can be said to be very considerable. At least Qian Zhong has not heard of any county whose area is comparable to that of Qiongzhou.

  Adding the total population, he felt that it didn’t matter how poor Qiongzhou was, but when he climbed the coast of Qiongzhou and looked at the dusty, pitted roads, and the civilians wearing short jackets, Qian Zhongxin felt a little cold.

   When he entered the city and saw the county seat with only two streets, Qian Bo couldn't help but stunned, "This Qiongzhou is too poor, it's not comparable to a small town in our Yangzhou."

  Yangzhou is rich and prosperous, a town is more beautiful than Qiongzhou county.

  Qian Zhong was disappointed for a moment, and then he said with a shock: "Brother, this is how I can use it and make Qiongzhou rich. These are all achievements."

   But Qiongzhou is just an island with no support. Seeing that his younger brother is ambitious, Qian Bo did not attack him, but tightened the burden on his shoulders and said, "Let's go, let's go to the county office."

   The county magistrate and the chief clerk did not expect that the new magistrate would come so quickly. Seeing Qian Zhong in linen clothes standing in the county office, they almost thought it was a lie.

   But who dares to deceive into the yamen?

  The two checked the county magistrate's documents and hurriedly squeezed out smiles to lead people to the back of the county office.

   County magistrates, county magistrates and chief registrars can all live behind the county office.

Behind the    is the house with two entrances on the left and right, and three entrances in the middle. According to regulations, the two entrances on the left and right are reserved for the county magistrate and the chief clerk with their family members, and the three entrances in the middle belong to the county magistrate.

  Tan Qian is domineering. He hinted that the county magistrate had moved out a year after his arrival. Because he felt that he was going to die in the post of Qiongzhou magistrate, he built the magistrate's mansion as his own private residence.

   This directly made it cheaper for the county lieutenant and the chief clerk who lived in the back. They did not dare to live in the third room in the middle, but still lived in the left and right rooms.

   But now the new county magistrate is here, I don’t know if they can still live.

   The county magistrate and the chief clerk quietly aimed at Qian Zhong, this new county magistrate was as poor as Tan Qian back then, no, he was even poorer than Tan Qian, wouldn't he be the same as Tan Qian?

  Have you just left one Tan Qian and another one?

   The county lieutenant and the chief clerk were worried.

  Qian Zhong frowned slightly when he saw the rockery at the county seat, the precious flowers and trees under the rockery, and the magnificent setting.

   It is no wonder that a small county magistrate would make the emperor angry, just from this house you can see how greedy he is.

  Qian Zhong put down his burden, turned around and said to the head of the county lieutenant: "Is the patrolman still in Qiongzhou?"

   "Your Excellency Xunjian has left, and the county affairs are now under the charge of Mrs. Sun and I. Let's talk to you after you have cleaned up."

  Qian Zhong nodded, "I heard in the capital that Tan Qian was too greedy and cruel, so much so that the people's grievances boiled, but now can the people be appeased?"

   When Qian Zhong asked about the affairs of the county, Gu Jingyun also received the letter that Zhang Yiyan forwarded. He opened the letter and couldn't help laughing, and said to Li Baolu briskly, "Our people are on duty."

  Li Baolu took the letter and read Qian Zhong's resume, and said with a blue face, "Wu Zhi was just dismissed from office?"

   "Whether it is possible to be dismissed from office is the result of the prince's lineage, otherwise it will be Qian Zhong who will be blamed in the end." Gu Jingyun said indifferently: "This is power."
