Chapter 224 Shanyang County Lieutenant
"All back, all back!" After a burst of yelling, the county government servant walked in.

The yamen servants who came in touched about a dozen people, and the leader was a yamen official in a dark blue official uniform, who was pointing at the crowd of drinkers who were watching the fun, and scolded.

"Your Highness, you are from the Shanyang County Government." Xi Junmai said to Li Ke as he watched dozens of county government officers in county uniforms enter the door.

Li Ke heard the words and nodded.

The person who came was dressed in a dark blue official robe, obviously he was an official of the eighth rank, and among the eighth rank officials, it was the Shanyang county lieutenant who was responsible for arresting robbers in Zhang'an.

However, the county lieutenant is in charge of public security in the county, and assists the county magistrate to assist one party. Fighting in the downtown area is indeed within his duties. However, in Li Ke's opinion, although the county lieutenant is not popular or even considered an official position, he is still a person in terms of local size Li Ke found it strange that such a person would take care of someone himself. Could it be that the county lieutenant is a good official who does everything by himself?

But Li Ke obviously wanted to go wrong, because just a moment later, the leading man of the salt company stepped forward to make friends with the county lieutenant.

"It turns out that Wei Du is here, and the villain Yan Liyue pays homage to Lord Wei Du." The man who took the lead in the salt line was named Li Yue, and he went up to pay homage to the county captain.

After listening to Li Yue's words, Li Ke exchanged glances with Wang Xuance who was beside him, with a sneer on his face.

The so-called "supervisor" is the post of supervising and patrolling politics. The military administration of one side is the superintendent, the picket officials are the superintendent, and the patrolling and pastoral border mansion are the superintendent.

However, the county lieutenant liked Li Yue's title very much. Seeing Li Yue stepping forward, he asked Li Yue in a tone-deaf manner: "Why is it your business again?"

Li Yue seemed to be very familiar with the county lieutenant, and replied with a smile: "The villain did not act properly, and the captain was bothered."

The county lieutenant said: "Your salt business, you earn a lot of money every day. It's a waste of money to move back. I'll help you do it every day. This leg is almost broken."

Li Yue heard the words, and immediately replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Wei Du, the little people will remember Wei Du's great kindness, and I will definitely tell the master when I turn back, and I will never forget Wei Du's great kindness."

Hearing this, the county lieutenant had an unconcealable smile in his eyes, and said, "How dare you bother Mr. Chen with such a trivial matter."

Hearing what the county lieutenant meant, the master Chen he was talking about must be the master Li Yue was talking about, that is, the head of the Chuzhou Salt Company.

Li Ke listened to Li Yue's words, and immediately understood that the county captain was here to do something, and he clearly took advantage of the opportunity to ask for favors from the salt company.It's just that Li Ke didn't expect that the county magistrate of a county would call the head of the salt company a lord, which shows how powerful the salt company is.

Seeing this, Li Ke stepped forward and asked the county lieutenant: "Since your Excellency is a county magistrate, since the people have disputes, you should ask questions impartially. After you come here, you only get close to people who work in salt, and don't ask the sufferer. Is it right?" Why?"

"Who are you?" The county lieutenant has always been used to rampaging in Shanyang City. Except for the chief officials of the two yamen in the prefecture and county, he has never been afraid of anyone, but he did not expect that anyone would dare to talk to him like this.

Li Yue hurriedly said: "Just now the villain was following the rules of my salt industry, but he was the one who obstructed it and attracted the captain."

Hearing this, the county lieutenant glanced at Li Ke in front of him. After all, the county lieutenant was well-informed. Seeing that Li Ke was dressed in luxurious clothes, the house slaves standing behind him were all capable, and they were even different from the big men he had seen before. It's not the same, knowing that the young man in front of him is afraid of being very human, and he doesn't want to offend easily.

The county captain said: "It looks like you are not from Shanyang, you should be more careful, lest you get in the court, no matter whether it is good or bad, it will be troublesome."

The county lieutenant didn't know Li Ke's depth, and most of his words were testing Li Ke, using the court to intimidate him, hoping that Li Ke would retreat in spite of difficulties.

But Li Ke is a majestic prince, and the Tai Chi Hall of the Baiguan Court Meeting is just the main hall of his family, so how can he be afraid of a small Shanyang county government.

Li Ke said: "County office? I have never been to Shanyang County office. Today is a rare opportunity. How can I miss it?"

Li Ke's appearance didn't pay much attention to the county government office, but he found it very novel.

The more Li Ke is like this, the more hopeless the county lieutenant is. Shanyang is an important part of the canal, and there are countless businessmen and travelers from all over the world who come and go here every day. How would he know Li Ke's identity? , What should I do if I offend someone I shouldn't offend, and I can't afford to offend?
The county lieutenant asked: "After all, this county government office is also where the government is located. It's not something that ordinary people can enter if they want to. I haven't asked who the young master is? He and Wu Liu are relatives. Why do you want to help him speak?"

Li Ke naturally knew what the county captain meant, so he deliberately replied: "My surname is Chu, and I am the third eldest in my family. Everyone in my family calls me Sanlang. Wu Liufei and I are relatives, but I was ordered by my father to go south to manage the family property, passing through this place. That's all. As for speaking for Wu Liu, it's just a matter of encountering injustice."

"I don't know who it is. It turns out that he is a rich man with some property in his family." After hearing Li Ke's words, the county lieutenant thought in his heart, and immediately felt relieved.

If Li Ke was a son of a powerful family, even if he was a son of aristocratic family, the county captain would not dare to offend him easily, but if he was just a wealthy businessman with more than enough money, he would be nothing in the eyes of the county captain.

Even if his family is rich, as long as there is no one in the officialdom, it is nothing more than fat meat delivered to the county magistrate.

The county lieutenant said: "The road is not fair? If you really see the road is not fair, you should report to the county government instead of fighting privately. Today you have fallen into my hands, and you dare to make troubles and make sophistry. You are really bold."

Hearing this, Li Ke said with a smile: "I'm just helping Wu Liu to speak a fair word, why come to fight, the county lieutenant's words are arbitrary."

The county captain said: "Whether it is arbitrary or not, it is too early to say. If you want to go to the county government, you can go with me. When you get there, you will make a decision."

With the public here, the county lieutenant has to be more careful to influence, so as not to be chewed out, and it doesn't sound good if it is spread out. Once he returns to the county government, it will be his territory. How to interrogate Li Ke, of course it's his business.

The county lieutenant waved his hand, and ordered his subordinate yamen servants to come forward and arrest him.

But what kind of person is Li Ke, not to mention a county lieutenant, even if the left and right servants of the head of a hundred officials see him, they will have to be courteous as a minister. How can he easily offend him? Stepping forward, he was blocked by Li Ke's royal guards.

"My son did not commit any crime, and he has no witnesses to testify. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to arrest him just now." Wang Xuance stepped forward and said to the county captain.

Although the county captain regarded Li Ke as a son of a merchant family, seeing Li Ke and Wang Xuance's confident appearance, he still felt a little uneasy.

Left and right were not afraid that Li Ke would escape, so he didn't need to be in a hurry to make trouble at this moment, so he ordered the yamen servant to retreat, and said to Li Ke: "In that case, then you can go with me by yourself."

Li Ke said: "Of course the county government is going, but before that, I still need to ask the servant to bring a message to the house, and ask the county captain to wait."

Seeing that Li Ke was young, the county magistrate felt worried when he entered the county government office, so he sent a letter home asking them to send money to protect him. This is what the county magistrate wanted to see.

The county lieutenant immediately said: "It's too soon, you can speak quickly."

"Thank you."

Li Ke thanked him, called Wang Xuance to his side, and whispered to Wang Xuance, "Take this king's post and go to the governor's office of Chuzhou, and ask Fang An, the governor of Chuzhou, to come to the county government quickly to see him."
