After transmigrating into the book, the prime minister always wants to farm with me.

Chapter 211 You Can Talk Now

"Hmph! Qingtan County is under your jurisdiction, and you dare to say you don't know about it?"

Enraged, Zhao Baoye kicked Magistrate Liang to the ground!
Magistrate Liang immediately endured the pain and got up, inwardly groaning in despair!
"The Qinghe River embankment is not under my jurisdiction! I beg the Prime Minister and the young marquis to investigate thoroughly!"

Zhao Baoye and Pei Yuanjun exchanged a glance: "Aren't the soldiers guarding that place from your county government?"

"Absolutely not! I have absolutely no connection with them!" Magistrate Liang wiped the sweat from his brow, nearly wetting himself in fear.

Is that a place he can go?
"So, you know those people even though they aren't your people?" Pei Yuanjun suddenly asked.

Magistrate Liang broke out in a cold sweat. He realized that the more he said, the more mistakes he made, and every word he uttered contained a trap he hadn't anticipated.

"this…"

"What? Can't I say?" Pei Yuanjun's gaze was cold and authoritative, his aura of a superior pressing down on him.

"Prime Minister... Your Excellency, it's not that I don't want to speak, it's just that I can't afford to offend you! I have elderly parents and young children to support..." He finished speaking and was trembling so much that he almost collapsed to the ground.

"Speak! If you don't, I'll drag you away and behead you right now!" Zhao Baoye's roar startled Magistrate Liang so much that he almost fainted.

I'm feeling terrible, but I can't faint! Who knows, I might wake up as just a soul.

He can't afford to offend either of them, as they are both very important figures!
Just as Magistrate Liang was in a dilemma, Pei Yuanjun produced a gold medal. Upon seeing it, Magistrate Liang immediately knelt down in a panic, shouting, "Long live the Emperor!"

The rectangular gold token bore the four large characters "As if the Emperor were personally present"!
"Now you can speak, right? If you lie, it's tantamount to deceiving the emperor!"

"Your Excellency, spare me! That's...that's the General of the Nation's man!" Heaven is against him! If only he hadn't been so greedy as to try and curry favor with the Prime Minister, he would be better off now, forced into this situation!
Zhao Baoye and Pei Yuanjun exchanged a glance; this was a tricky situation!
Even now, General Mu Yitian, the Grand General Who Protects the Nation, still relies on his merits and doesn't respect the Emperor in the court.

He openly contradicted the emperor in the imperial court.

This time, it was he who first found the iron ore vein in Qingtan County and hid it. No wonder he suggested that the Emperor build the Qinghe Dam in Qingtan County; it was probably to cover up the fact that it was an iron ore vein. The Emperor only sent him to investigate secretly after receiving the secret report.

The exact location of the iron ore vein is beneath the Qinghe Dam.

This time, they were secretly mining underground. Heavy rain caused a landslide, which breached the dike. The floodwaters changed direction due to the landslide and surged towards Peijiawan Village, destroying the harvests of more than a dozen surrounding villages and completely submerging Peijiawan Village! Their scheme was exposed.

"Shi An, have the men guarding the area arrest the guards without alerting anyone, and send them to the capital tonight to be dealt with by the Emperor!"

"Yes!" he said firmly, then turned and left.

Pei Yuanjun turned around with a cold expression: "Magistrate Liang should know what to do!"

Liang Wanjin was taken aback, and then Pei Yuanjun said, "Your son Liang Yusheng will stay here and help the villagers with disaster relief."

A chill ran through Liang Wanjin. If he hadn't known that the Prime Minister had investigated the Qinghe Dam, he would have been happy to leave his son behind.

But now, he is filled with remorse.

"Why don't you want to?"

"I don't dare!"

"That's good. He can stay here as long as I deliver those people safely to the Emperor, then he can return unharmed. Otherwise... *slap*"

Pei Yuanjun struck out with his palm from a distance, and the vase on the table suddenly shattered.

The sound of shattering was chilling, and Liang Wanjin involuntarily shivered: "This humble official... this humble official would absolutely not leak any information, but the General of the State and the others have their own ways of contacting each other, and this humble official is afraid that they have already reported it..."
