Chapter 567 Envy and Jealousy
"What's there to be proud of? Isn't it just some fruits and vegetables? Who hasn't eaten them?"

"It's just that if you have anything to be proud of, you show it off every day. I don't even know what he is showing off for."

"I'm not afraid of choking myself either."

"..."

Many officials were envious and jealous in private, but few dared to say these words in front of Huan Tielong. Seeing him laughing and moving all day long, he showed no mercy.

No matter how officials and landlords and gentry resisted Huan Tielong, they still could not stop the people's enthusiasm for him.

The more enthusiastic the people are, the more Huan Tielong wants to do something for the people.

He sent all his men out, and whenever they encountered anyone who oppressed the people, he would immediately arrest them and deal with them severely.

The effect is very significant.

But at the same time, it also encountered opposition from some local aristocratic families in Xuzhou.

Many government orders could not be implemented, which also brought a lot of trouble to the yamen.

For this reason, Huan Tielong went to Jiang Qian to ask him for advice.

Jiang Qian told him, "Why don't you discuss it with Master Qian?"

Huan Tielong scratched his head, "Master Qian is more marginalized than me, what can he do?"

Huan Tielong felt that he needed confidence to compete with the local people.

His confidence comes from His Majesty's trust and his great military exploits.

But what confidence can Qian Cheng have?
He wants merit but no merit, he wants connections but no connections, he wants family background but no background, he is just like a doormat.

Jiang Qian could see that Huan Tielong didn't like Qian Cheng from the bottom of his heart. In order to make Xuzhou calm down, Jiang Qian followed the temptation.

"Although Mr. Qian has been ostracized, his ability is obvious to all. Moreover, the reason why he was ostracized is simply because he is from a commoner family. There is no issue of principle. Your Excellency will not be as disgusted as those short-sighted people. People of low birth."

Huan Tielong thought of Jiang Qian's background and quickly shook his head, "How could I be like those people?"

Jiang Qian didn't care whether he was telling the truth or lies.

"Didn't you do a good job when you went to the countryside to redress the grievances of the people? Therefore, you were welcomed by many people. I heard that it was Master Qian who gave you the idea. This shows that Master Qian has the ability to assist you in governing Xuzhou. "

Huan Tielong rubbed his hands and thought about it, "That's true."

"Furthermore, Your Excellency has been out frequently recently, and the entire government affairs of the Governor's Office have been handed over to Lord Qian. Has Lord Qian caused trouble to Your Excellency in this regard?"

Huan Tielong kept his eyes open and felt a little guilty, "That's not true."

At this time, he suddenly discovered the greatness of Mr. Qian.

When he was a governor elsewhere, he had endless things to deal with every day. Even when he was marching and fighting, he would be troubled from time to time by a series of things such as spring plowing, autumn harvest farming and mulberry planting.

But since arriving in Xuzhou, he found that he had never been troubled by these problems.

Basically, similar problems can be properly handled as long as they come to Mr. Qian.

Jiang Qian said with a smile: "Your Majesty is deeply trusted by your Majesty. With your capabilities, how could your Majesty not know that he specially transferred Mr. Qian here to reduce your burden and pressure, but your Majesty does not seem to understand your majesty's painstaking efforts."

"I was wrong." Huan Tielong slapped his head fiercely, "I don't know how to cherish such a big person in front of me. I really have failed the emperor's favor. I will go to Lord Qian and make amends with him. No."

Qian Cheng raised his head from his desk and watched the burly governor in front of him keep apologizing to him, with a very low attitude. Normally, he would raise his head slightly and look at people with his chin.

Huan Tielong talked for a long time and saw no reaction from him, and his heart began to beat, "If Mr. Qian is still not satisfied, just give me a beating."

Qian Cheng came to his senses and hurriedly came out of the bookcase.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome. Everything I did was part of my duty. I can't deserve your thanks."

Huan Tielong felt even more guilty. Look at this person, who is unknown, has done so many things, and still has such a humble attitude. He really shouldn't listen to the nonsense of those outside.

He is not as bad as the rumors say, he is obviously a gentleman.

Huan Tielong has a straightforward temper, does rough things but also has a bad temper, but he is good at being able to listen and persuade.

Qian Cheng was quite satisfied with him, but he didn't know why his attitude suddenly changed so much.

"Why did you come to me suddenly, sir?"

"It's Marquis Xuanwen."

Huan Tielong did not say the reason why he went to find Marquis Xuanwen, but with Qian Cheng's cleverness, he quickly guessed it.

Originally, he gave himself a period of half a year to get along well with the governor. By then, Xuzhou's development would have entered the next stage.

But he didn't expect that Xuanwenhou would secretly help him, nor did he expect that Huan Tielong would trust Xuanwenhou so much.

At night, the cold wind blows quickly.

Jiang Qian gathered up his cloak. At this time, he was the only court official living in the inn, which seemed deserted.

After Yuan Li placed the personnel of the Supervision Department in Xuzhou, he went out to investigate the case. The reason why he stayed was because the iron ore matter had not been settled yet.

People from the county government found a total of more than 3,000 corpses near the iron mine. Looking at the missing persons and human trafficking criminals recorded by the government in Xuzhou in recent years, there are only 800 criminals at best.

Where did the rest of them come from?
Hong Li walked in with ginseng soup, "Master Hou, please rest for a while. You haven't rested for several days. If you continue like this, your body may not be able to bear it."

Jiang Qian didn't even raise his head, "I know my body well, it's not that fragile."

Hong Li advised: "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should still think about the princess. If the princess sees that you don't care about your body, she will be uneasy."

Jiang Qian paused and exhaled a long breath, his eyes filled with pain and sadness.

Ever since he found out that Luo Huanhuan was pregnant with no child, Jiang Qian had been numbing himself with work, almost without stopping. As long as he stopped, he would think of the formed male fetus.

"That's all, let's rest for a while."

Seeing that Jiang Qian was finally willing to rest, Hong Li breathed a sigh of relief. But at this moment, Feng Wei sent a piece of bad news.

"Marquis Xuanwen, we have some clues about those who died in the mine."

Jiang Qian immediately put it down, took two sips of the ginseng soup, and asked anxiously, "What did you find out?"

Hong Li glanced over with cold eyes. He didn't come early, he didn't come late, but he just came at this time.

Feng Wei noticed Hong Li's gaze and looked at the remaining ginseng soup. "It turns out that the master is resting. I'll come back later."

"No, just say it."
