A shocking news spread throughout Yongshun County in just one day.
"Huang County Cheng resigned!"
Everyone who heard the news was shocked to the point of numbness and expressed disbelief.
There are even people who are cautious by nature and deliberately keep a distance from the spreaders of these news to avoid being implicated after the government refutes the rumors.
If this is a rumor, it is indeed true.
Thinking back to those days, in order to help him obtain the position of county magistrate, the Huang family spent countless generations and generations slowly accumulating favor and power.
And Huang Xiancheng has not let the family down in these years. He alone ensures that the entire family business goes smoothly.
The investment that year has already been earned back tenfold.
Mr. Huang is definitely an undoubted pillar among the younger generation of the Huang family.
Back then, when Mr. Huang won the election despite the expectations and hard work of the whole family, it became a legend.
The people in the countryside may not have such a passionate literati sentiment, but this kind of story of hard work and eventual success can always be spread the most widely and can be used as a model story to educate children.
This also provided Huang County Cheng with a lot of public support when he took office.
It can be said that the position of county magistrate is definitely the lifeblood of the entire Huang family.
Without the position of county magistrate, the Huang family will immediately fall from the top gentry in Yongshun County.
Under such circumstances, even if Huang County Cheng really wants to retire and return to his hometown, he will definitely not be able to pass the family test.
So, why did he suddenly resign without warning?
I don’t know how many people hurried to the Huang family’s old house, in the name of visiting, to pry into Huang County Cheng’s true thoughts.
Those who can rush to Huang's house are extremely shrewd people. They can naturally realize that Huang Xian Cheng's resignation this time, there must be a force secretly adding fuel to the fire, so that Huang Xian Cheng is unable to resist, so it is necessary to learn about Yongshun as soon as possible.
Changes in county power structure.
There has been an endless stream of guests at the Huang Mansion in the past few days. The Huang family has only one thing to say about these old friends and relatives who come to visit, "The lowly merchants come in and out of the county government at will, causing the government's dignity to be lost."
"A high-ranking official in the imperial court is willing to work with traffickers and pawns. He is actually willing to fall."
"I, as a scholar, do not want to be colleagues of such people, so I can only resign from my official position and be out of sight."
This statement sounds very reasonable, and it is in line with the self-admiration of some scholars. Only those who truly understand Huang County Cheng will never pay attention to such rhetoric that is not worth refuting.
On the contrary, all kinds of extremely bizarre conspiracy theories were spread in restaurants, teahouses and ordinary alleys throughout the county.
Some people say that Magistrate Wang completely brought down Huang County Prime Minister by donating money for road construction, leaving Huang County Prime Minister without any prestige in the county government, and in the official circles that value human relations and face, he will never be able to raise his head again.
, then he was forced to resign.
Some people even say that Huang County Cheng was forced to resign by Zhao Dutou, a confidant of County Magistrate Wang, who had a steel knife stuck to his neck in the middle of the night.
Such things quickly spread throughout Yongshun County and became the most popular chat among county residents after dinner.
The atmosphere in the entire county is a little weird.
While those prudent people were still defending the matter, spontaneously helping Huang Xian Cheng maintain the reputation, secretly thinking that Huang Xian Cheng was just talking.
Huang Xian Cheng directly hung the official seal on the beam of the county government office!
He was wearing an official uniform, plus all his badges and documents, all scattered and piled up in the public house, and was discarded like worn-out shoes by Huang County Prime Minister.
Then he was alone, wearing plain clothes, holding his head high, and left the county government where he had been domineering for many years.
There was no one around to see him off, which made him feel cold and aloof.
A powerful man who has been in power for many years does not compete with worldly things, so that his family affairs are peaceful and his sleeves are filled with fresh air.
This was the evaluation of him by those rotten students who were kept in the dark later.
When County Magistrate Wang repeatedly confirmed the news, he was confused for a while.
Resigning from office is the way of ancient celebrities, and there is nothing fake about it.
There is also no room for regret.
He looked at Mr. Ye with a look of extreme surprise, and his heart was shocked beyond words.
Both of them knew something about Huang County Cheng, and they had already seen through all of this man's little thoughts.
Huang Xian Cheng is very scheming and can use some tricks to hinder the road construction plan. They are also very wary of this.
Now Huang County Prime Minister directly resigned from office without any warning or any preparation for the aftermath. To him, this is almost the same as giving up his life.
If you dare to give everything you have and fight for your life at all costs, that is truly incredible!
Magistrate Wang's face twitched, and he couldn't figure out why it suddenly reached such a state.
If you don’t agree with donating money for road construction, then protest!
As Huang County Cheng, as long as he speaks out, he will definitely be taken seriously.
Even if your protest is fruitless, you can still appeal to the government to request justice.
Why did they omit these processes and go to extremes without any warning, forcing both parties to a dead end?
Mr. Ye also frowned, and Chen Ping almost scratched his scalp.
Once this incident came out, it was not only related to the personal grudge between the county magistrate and the county prime minister.
It will seriously affect all public affairs including road construction.
Although in these days, Magistrate Wang has raised nearly half of the money and food for road construction from merchants.
With this money and food, not only the road from the county seat to Qingsong Town will be completed on time.
Even the official roads that run through the entire county are under construction soon. By then, Yongshun County will be connected in all directions and will change its previous blockage.
But the premise for all these prospects is that the county government can maintain basic stability and the work of these people can be carried out in an orderly manner.
After all, whether it is repairing roads or collecting taxes, it all requires the entire county government to maintain the most basic unity.
If there is a split within the county government, then don’t do anything.

Moreover, the county magistrate is also an important official, and it is difficult to train a new one in a short period of time, let alone to allow this new county magistrate to handle all affairs without any delays.
Realizing the viciousness of Huang County Cheng's move, Wang County Magistrate immediately forced himself to calm down.
He knew very well that if he failed to handle this matter properly, he would not only live up to the expectations of the people, but also violate his promises to businessmen, and it would also waste months of hard work by many officials and workers.
Not only will the road not be built, but my career may also be over.
I saw Magistrate Wang panting like an ox, with red eyes.
He ordered Zhao Jin: "Find out immediately for me what Huang Laosan is doing and who is instigating it behind the scenes!"
"I don't believe he dares to be so cruel. This is not something he can do at all!"
But looking at the entire Yongshun County, there are a few people who are qualified to instigate and coerce Prime Minister Huang to make such a sacrifice.
Ye Lao and Chen Ping quietly looked at each other, and both of them saw deep doubts in each other's eyes.
When things go awry, there must be a monster, and now it’s not just that things are going awry, it’s almost impermanent.
Both Huang Xian Cheng and Huang Liuye's actions greatly exceeded their expectations.
Generally speaking, the more abnormal it is, the more dangerous it is!
A gentleman does not stand behind a dangerous wall.
When urgent matters arise, should we delay donating money for road construction?=.
Just when an old man and a young man met each other and made eye contact.
Seemingly aware of the abnormality in the atmosphere, Magistrate Wang directly shouted: "Donating to build roads cannot be slowed down at all!"
"It would be fine if we didn't take this path at the beginning. We have been planning intensively for several months. If we stop now, it will be a waste of money and people, and it will definitely arouse the ridicule and dissatisfaction of the people."
"In that case, the dignity of the entire county government will be lost, and something big will happen!"
County Magistrate Wang has spent many years of energy and time on repairing roads.
Nowadays, it is difficult to find a clear path, not to mention Huang County Cheng blocking the way.
Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, Magistrate Wang cannot retreat and must rush forward.
After hearing what Magistrate Wang said, Mr. Ye became even more worried.
Renovating roads is indeed a good deed, and it can indeed completely and long-term improve the plight of Yongshun County.
But at least we have to figure out first what kind of monster Huang County Cheng is doing.
Only in this way can unknown risks be prevented before they occur.
However, this cannot be said bluntly. After all, the current Magistrate Wang has been so angry that he has lost his former composure and rationality.
Chen Ping quietly followed Zhao Jin's footsteps and came outside the county government office.
Although Zhao Jin is the head of the county government, he is in charge of arresting bandits in Yongshun County.
But he has no experience in this situation.
It's not that there's anything wrong with Zhao Jin's ability, but that this matter has gone beyond the norm.
