Mu Qianyu said with a warm smile on his face: "Business is not urgent. Master, you have worked hard all the way here. Let's sit down and have a cup of tea."
"Thank you Mr. Futai for your kindness. I won't drink any more tea. Please let him go as soon as possible. It will be bad if the rules are broken." The master had a cold face and spoke in a very merciless manner.
"Master, please listen to what I have to say. This man was accused of beating someone to death. I just locked him up for investigation. If I were to let him go now, I would be afraid that he would escape." Mu Qianyu said angrily.
"Then I would like to ask Mr. Mu, is there any evidence to prove that Wang Changsheng is suspicious?" The master continued to ask.
"I have asked him. Even if there is no evidence, it is legal for me to detain him for three days for investigation." Mu Qianyu argued.
The master said impatiently: "Those are ordinary people. Wang's Chamber of Commerce is the largest business house in your Anping Mansion. Your behavior will only cause unnecessary panic among the people."
"It's not like I've been panicking for a day or two." Mu Qianyu murmured, stretched out his hand to pull the master aside, and said: "I heard that Wang Changsheng is the governor's brother-in-law, but I don't know the truth?"
"Since you asked so directly, I won't hide it from you." The master looked at Mu Qianyu and said, "It's exactly this relationship. The governor's wife was furious when she heard the news last night. If you don't let me go, I will
You are the one who is here to take me away."
There is a hint of threat in the words.
Mu Qianyu narrowed his eyes when he heard this, threatening her. He really didn't treat her as a dish.
"Mr. Mu." The master couldn't help shouting when he saw her lost her mind.
Mu Qianyu immediately said with an apologetic expression: "That's my fault, isn't it? I thought he was telling nonsense to deceive people. It turns out that the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple. This is a huge misunderstanding."
"It doesn't matter, Mr. Mu will just let him go."
"Let it go, let it go. Not only do you have to let it go, but I also have to do it myself. This misunderstanding is caused..." Mu Qianyu said and went to the back hall.
"Muda, we should take the main entrance from the front."
"I can't apologize so casually. I have to dress more appropriately to show my sincerity." Mu Qianyu said with a sincere face.
The master was so anxious that he had no time to wait for the woman to change clothes, so he said: "There is no need for Mr. Mu to go there in person, just send a servant."
"I'd better go in person, since Master said so." Mu Qianyu waved to the Yamen servant and said, "You, follow Master."
The master thought to himself that the prefect really listened to advice and changed his mind very quickly.
"Master, go slowly, I will see you off." Mu Qianyu sent the person out of the government office sincerely with a smile on his face.
However, the moment she turned around, her smile disappeared and was replaced by a lake-like calm. She waved to the government servant beside her and said, "Ask Mo Feng to come see me."
"Yes." The officer responded and left.
Mo Feng walked slowly into the government office two-quarters of an hour later. He was still wearing a green shirt, and his frail and elegant appearance made him look like a scholar.
It was no longer so cold now. He entered the repaired main courtyard and found Mu Qianyu practicing calligraphy in front of the stone table with a very quiet expression.
I have to say that Mu Qianyu's appearance is really impressive. Whether you look at her from a distance or up close, she is a beautiful and gentle woman.
But Mo Feng instinctively felt that something was not right. The atmosphere in the yard was not right, it was a bit too quiet.
Although he didn't know Mu Qianyu well enough, he could tell from just a few confrontations that this was definitely not her character.
"Master Futai." Mo Feng stopped ten steps away from her and bowed his hands.
Mu Qianyu put down his pen after writing the last stroke of one of the characters, straightened up and said, "I understand."
"Yes, I saw it on the way here. Governor Li personally sent someone to pick him up." Mo Feng replied calmly, eliminating the need for him to hear Wang Changsheng curse as he left the prison.
"I've called you here to ask for your help. Keep an eye on Wang Changsheng. Don't let him escape before the case is over." Mu Qianyu ordered slowly.
Mo Feng looked at Mu Qianyu and asked, "Sir, do you know that if this continues, the governor will definitely obstruct it, and you don't know if you can even convict him."
"You can't just stop doing it just because you might fail." Mu Qianyu said in a low voice and then said, "What do you think?"
"Your Excellency is really a fair and honest official." Mo Feng felt that Mu Qianyu's status in his heart was a little higher.
"This has nothing to do with good officials or bad officials. The main reason is that they are not pleasing to the eye. They each take themselves for what they are. They really think that no one can cure them." Mu Qianyu said very unconvinced.
"..."
Mo Feng felt that he might have thought too much just now. This was the Master Futai he was familiar with.
"Let's go down then," he said.
Mu Qianyu nodded: "Go ahead, I'll reimburse you for the food and lodging back and forth."
She felt this was her greatest kindness.
Mo Feng also couldn't laugh or cry. The character of Mr. Futai was really unpredictable.
The atmosphere in the courtyard was not so cold at the moment, so he glanced at the writing on the table before turning his head. He almost staggered in shock at this sight.
It's not the content, but the font. It's really the ugliest thing he's ever seen...
He never expected that he could write peerless articles, and that the number one winner on the Heavenly Ranking, which twice caused thunder disasters, would actually have such immature handwriting. Is this serious?
Mu Qianyu couldn't hide her surprise when she saw him, thinking that her article was good, so she rarely smiled. Sure enough, her current level was still very good.
That day, when the people of Anping Mansion learned that Wang Changsheng had been released from prison, they all sighed. What's the use of having Mr. Futai be incorruptible? It's because he couldn't bring down Wang Changsheng, who had a powerful backing.
Thinking that the Wang Chamber of Commerce has bullied the market, maliciously raised prices, and bullied the people in the past few years, they feel even more miserable. Mr. Futai failed to control them this time, and they will definitely get worse in the future.
By then, it won’t be the common people who will be unlucky.
So the lanterns that had been hung up a few days ago were quietly put back. Although no one said anything, everyone had a rare smile on their faces.
Even Xiang Ziran cried for a while in the room. Xiang Ziyou felt that he had offended Mu Qianyu and asked to say goodbye.
Mu Qianyu naturally didn't let them leave, but she also had a poor appetite. She didn't expect that a local official could be so cowardly.
In the afternoon, Mo Feng came in person and said to Mu Qianyu, who was reading a formation book while he was not busy eating, "Sir, Wang Changsheng has left the city."
"Huh?" Mu Qianyu put down the book and frowned, "Going to Jiangning Prefecture?"
"I went to Tongzhou County. I heard him talking to his entourage. It was because I had an appointment with Tongzhou Inspector Cai Dayan. It might be business dealings." Mo Feng replied.
"Cai Dayan?" Mu Qianyu raised his eyebrows slightly: "How come these two people are still hooking up? Where are they meeting?"
