Chapter 87 The prefect is not here, have you been prepared?
"I appreciate everyone's love for me, but I came here today to go to the government office to see the prefect!"
Su Cheng was surrounded by people and could not move.
The whole street is full of people!
What's even more terrifying is that after hearing the news, more people came with all kinds of things in their hands.
There was food, food, and some people even brought out their treasured wine.
Give them all to Su Cheng!
Su Cheng was moved, but still a little bit dumbfounded.
These simple people just did what a county magistrate should do, yet the other party actually loved them so much.
As the magistrate of Liuhe County, to be loved by the people of Jiangzhou is the greatest compliment to Su Cheng!
Of course, he did not forget about business. He came here to see the prefect and deal with his wife's affairs.
This matter is pending and will become Liu Guoan's constant constraint. It must be resolved completely!
But those people finally saw Su Cheng, and how could they be willing to leave at this moment.
"Master Su, just accept the bar I gave you!"
"Yes, sir, I don't have many things at home. The only thing I can take out is this egg."
"Your Majesty, it's not easy for you to come to our Jiangzhou City once. You have to ask us to entertain you even once."
"Yes, you can come to my restaurant to eat, it's free of charge!"
The common people expressed their respect for Su Cheng with the simplest actions!
Su Cheng looked at the people surrounding him and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
It seems that there is really no way out!
"Captain Zhang, it seems we need your people to come over and help." Su Cheng looked at Captain Zhang who was leading the way.
But when I turned around, I saw that Captain Zhang's hands were also covered with things.
"Master Su, I...I want to, but I can't walk now either." Captain Zhang said with a wry smile.
Su Cheng: "..."
Am I going to be trapped here today?
At this moment, the soldiers guarding the city gate also discovered what was going on here.
At first, everyone didn't pay much attention, thinking that someone was watching the fun or something.
But as more and more people flocked that way, blocking the entire street, the soldiers could no longer stand and headed that way one after another.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way quickly, don't block the way!"
"You guys, don't come any closer!"
"Everyone, get back. We'll surround you and take you to jail!"
Once the soldiers came over, they were very intimidating, and many people were frightened and retreated one after another.
The originally crowded streets were finally able to see the road.
Su Cheng didn't even think about it and shouted to Captain Zhang: "Captain Zhang, lead the way. If you don't leave, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave today."
"Yes, yes, yes, Master Su, come with me quickly!"
Captain Zhang reacted and quickly led the way.
With the protection of soldiers, Su Cheng and his party finally left the street.
Under the leadership of Captain Zhang, they quickly arrived outside the government office in the city.
With its white walls and blue tiles and high-walled courtyard, this government office is several grades higher than the county government office in terms of appearance alone.
There are two rows of people wearing government officials guarding the door. Unlike the county government officials, these people all have swords.
"Mr. Su, the government office has arrived. Please leave first~" Captain Zhang put down the things in his hands and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Captain Zhang is tired."
"No, this is what a young man should do." Captain Zhang bowed his hands and saluted, then turned and left.
The government officer at the door also noticed Su Cheng and others.
It's just that they were on duty in this government office, they had never seen any officials, and they didn't care about a person not wearing official uniform.
Although it was strange that Su Cheng and others carried many things with them, according to the rules, they did not come forward to ask, but waited for Su Cheng to come forward and announce his name.
This is the government government's confidence, which cannot be compared with the county government!
Su Cheng adjusted his clothes to make himself look very tidy, and then took out his greeting card and stepped forward.
"Liuhe County Magistrate Su Cheng is here to pay homage to the prefect!"
After speaking, he handed over the greeting card.
The yamen servants at the door looked at each other after hearing this.
Then, one of the yamen servants stood up and took the invitation, looked at it, and then bowed his hand.
"It turns out to be Mr. Su from Liuhe County. I really didn't expect Mr. Su to be so young!"
"You and I, please come to the side hall, please come inside!"
The yamen servant made a gesture of invitation.
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows and felt a little confused, but he still walked in.
Logically speaking, after I had given the greeting invitation, the yamen servant should have asked me to wait outside the door before going in and handing out the greeting invitation.
Why did the yamen officer bring him in directly?
While pondering, Su Cheng followed the yamen servant's guidance and walked through a wind and rain corridor and came to a side hall.
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Su. Mr. Dong will be here in a moment." The officer said and retreated.
This time, Su Cheng was even more confused.
It's not the prefect who wants to meet with him, but a master?
I was obviously looking for the prefect, so why did the master come out?
Could it be...
Just as Su Cheng was deep in thought, he suddenly heard footsteps coming from outside the hall.
Turning around, he saw an old man with white hair, a bright head, a black robe, and a goatee walking into the hall.
"Jiangzhou Master Dong Qing has met Mr. Su!" Master Dong smiled and saluted Su Cheng.
Although the position of master is close to the magistrate, his official position is not high, and he really does not dare to entrust himself to Su Cheng, the county magistrate.
Su Cheng returned the greeting: "Master Dong, you are so polite. I wonder if the prefect is free at the moment? I have something urgent to see the prefect!"
"Oh, what an unlucky coincidence!"
Mr. Dong shook his head, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "The prefect went to Qinghe County down there for inspection the day before yesterday, and it will take several days before he comes back."
"But it doesn't matter. Master Su, if you have anything to say to me, I can convey it to the magistrate on my behalf."
Su Cheng's expression changed when he heard this.
Sure enough, the prefect is not in the government office, not even in Jiangzhou City!
No wonder the government officials were surprised when they heard that he was meeting with the prefect, and no wonder the other party brought him here to meet Master Dong without even handing him a greeting card.
The prefect is not here, so of course there is no need to hand over greeting cards!
However, it is useless to talk to Mr. Dong about your own affairs.
Even if it is conveyed on behalf of others, it will take time to go back and forth, and the prefect may not believe what is said in the letter.
This time it was troublesome. The prefect was not in Jiangzhou, and Liu Guoan was pressing hard again.
But if we go directly to Qinghe County by ourselves now, we won’t be able to make it in time!
Could this be Liu Guoan's plan? The other party knew that he would find the prefect, so he thought of a way to get rid of the prefect in advance?
If this is the case, then Liu Guoan's mind can be said to be poisonous.
"Since the prefect is not here, I won't bother Master Dong!"
Su Cheng suddenly stood up and decided to return to Liuhe County.
The worst case scenario is that he and his wife can just fight Liu Guoan hard. Liu Guoan has no evidence anyway!
As long as they refuse to admit it, Liu Guoan can't do anything to his wife.
However, as soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, he heard footsteps coming from outside.
Immediately, a clear female voice came:
"I dare to ask, but Mr. Su from Liuhe County is in there?"
