Su Cheng looked at the angry Zhao Kangyu with a strange look on his lips: "What explanation do you want me to give you?"
"Our Daliang law stipulates that the salary of government officials shall be paid by the county itself, and the specific number of government officials shall be determined by the county magistrate himself."
"These four hundred government officials were recruited from lower-level officials, and their salaries were paid without going through the chief envoy. It can be said that they did not receive a single copper from the imperial court. I wonder what explanation Mr. Zhao would like?"
Yamen servants are not officials, and they are not among the people who are paid out salaries and assessed by the Chief Envoy. Zhao Kangyu has no way to talk about this matter!
This old guy was completely angry because Zhao Chengwang was taken away just now, and wanted to do something evil to him.
But when it comes to this matter about the Yamen servants, even if you, Zhao Kangyu, are the chief envoy, you can't possibly explain it rationally!
Even the prefect Yang Yushi pulled Zhao Kangyu's sleeve and said softly: "Master Zhao, let's talk about the government officials later. We should first find a way to save Mr. Zhao!"
At this time, be sure not to cause conflicts, otherwise you will be in big trouble.
Mr. Qin hasn't gone far yet. If Mr. Zhao troubles Su Cheng now, he might come back.
It’s better to go back and discuss how to rescue Zhao Chengwang before we get down to business!
Alas, I am also unlucky. Why do you think such a thing has happened!
Yang Yushi was very depressed, but he didn't dare to let Zhao Kangyu have an attack at this time, so he could only take him back to the inn first.
Zhao Kangyu's expression changed when he heard this, and he glared at Su Cheng fiercely: "Humph, we'll see!"
He couldn't believe that he, a dignified chief envoy, could not deal with the county magistrate below.
After finishing speaking, Zhao Kangyu snorted coldly, turned around and left angrily.
"Congratulations to you two adults~" Su Cheng stood there and bowed his hands, making a full gesture.
At least in terms of etiquette, he didn't let Zhao Kangyu find anything wrong.
On the contrary, Shen Xiangxing spit on the ground after Zhao Kangyu and others left: "Bah, what the hell!"
"He will play tricks on us. Just now, he was not polite to Mr. Qin. I despise such a person the most!"
When Su Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but glance at him angrily: "You are not the same, why didn't you say this just now?"
Shen Xiangxing sneered: "Brother-in-law, you said this so hard that I don't even know how to answer it."
"Okay, stop talking so much and go do something for me!" Su Cheng whispered a few words in Shen Xiangxing's ear, and Shen Xiangxing hurriedly went down to make arrangements.
After dealing with this, Su Cheng looked at the darkening sky, then shook his head and headed towards Shen's Mansion.
On the other side, Zhao Kangyu and Yang Yushi returned to the inn, and all the anger in their hearts burst out!
"Bang Dang~" The tea cup was smashed to the ground by Zhao Kangyu, and the broken residue even splashed on Yang Yushi.
"Sir, calm down!" Yang Yushi hurriedly persuaded: "Sir Qin is here as part of his responsibilities. None of us expected that Su Cheng would be so bold as to hand the case file directly to the Zhitai Yamen!"
"The situation is very unfavorable to us now. If we don't respond, Mr. Zhao will be in danger. Once he is convicted, everything will be irreversible!"
Zhao Kangyu's face darkened when he heard this: "Of course I know, but there are so many government officials in Liuhe County now, do you really want me to order someone to snatch people from them?"
"What's more, Qin Ming is personally leading the team this time. If he takes action, this matter will definitely cause a big fuss and even alarm people in the capital."
Zhao Kangyu was very annoyed. He and Qin Ming belonged to two different camps, and the backers behind him were equally powerful. Once he took action, Qin Ming's backers would never let go of the opportunity to capture him.
When they reach this stage, they must be extremely careful in their actions. If they make a mistake, others will catch them.
Although they are very impressive in front of the officials below, in the eyes of those in the capital, these local officials are just subordinates. As long as there is a chance, it is just a matter of words to win over them.
"This...can we just watch Mr. Zhao being taken to Linjiang City?"
Yang Yushi was also panicking now. Once Zhao Chengwang was captured, his daughter's marriage to him would be ruined.
This is a huge loss to his daughter's name, and it will be difficult to find a well-matched family in the future.
At this moment, Yang Yushi couldn't help but regret. If he had known that things would turn out like this, he might as well have let his daughter follow Liu Changfeng.
At least it's better than being dragged down by Zhao Chengwang and losing his reputation!
"Humph, of course I can't just watch my son die!"
Zhao Kangyu suddenly narrowed his eyes and flashed with murderous intent: "If we want to solve this problem from the source, we have to start with Liu Changfeng!"
"He is the victim and the plaintiff in this incident. If he is no longer here, this case will become unsolved. It will be easy for me to rescue my son by then!"
"Someone is coming!"
"What are your orders, sir?"
"You go to the military camp immediately tonight. I don't care what method you use, you must kill Liu Changfeng!"
"Yes!" the guard responded and immediately went down to make arrangements.
Yang Yushi's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he quickly persuaded: "Sir, you must not do it, you must not do it!"
"There are a thousand soldiers in the military camp, all of whom belong to Liu Changfeng. It's not easy to kill him in the military camp!"
"Once exposed, if these people are caught, they may even implicate you, sir!"
At this moment, Yang Yushi panicked. He didn't expect that Zhao Kangyu would take such a risk.
That's a military camp, not some other place. If this fails and the people sent there tonight are caught instead, things will be in trouble.
Murdering a court official, and doing so in a military camp, is a serious crime!
Coupled with Zhao Kangyu's identity, he knows the law and breaks the law, and his crime is increased by one degree!
Yang Yushi didn't want to become an accomplice, so he could only try his best to persuade Zhao Kangyu to change his decision.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Kangyu sneered when he heard this and stared at Yang Yushi: "Why, you don't want to save my son?"
"This is the only way to save my son now, otherwise your Yang family will also be implicated in this matter."
"Okay, you don't need to say any more, you can either stay silent now or go and tell the truth!"
Zhao Kangyu didn't want to listen to Yang Yushi's nonsense, so he risked his life to save his only son.
After saying that, Zhao Kangyu turned and left, leaving Yang Yushi with a stunned look on his face.
Seeing Zhao Kangyu's leaving figure, Yang Yushi felt very upset.
If he had known this, why bother in the first place? He really regrets it now. If he had known that things would reach this point, he should not have agreed to marry the Zhao family.
Now it's better, he, a prefect, has been made into a stranger inside and out.
The only thing he could do at this moment was to pray in his heart that Liu Changfeng would not be killed if he went there, otherwise things would really get into trouble!
