PFC Chapter 321 Meeting with the Magistrate of Yifeng
Chapter 321 Meeting with the Magistrate of Yifeng
Wang Fugui reached out and took the little brother next to him, and asked, "How is it here?"
Yuan Qing calmly took his arm away and nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's it."
As the two were about to step in, they heard chaotic footsteps chasing them from behind, shouting loudly, "Boss!"
Wang Fugui turned around and saw the group of younger brothers he had forgotten in Xujia Village rushing towards him.
Wang Fugui thought to himself that he had deliberately left these guys there, but he didn't expect them to chase him.
These little bastards are really...
But now that they were there, he had no way of driving them all back.
They looked like regulars here, so they didn't need Yuan Qing to greet them when they entered the door. They just waved to the boss to serve the food.
Yuan Qing: "..."
This is really treating her like a talking and moving ATM, not being polite at all.
After ordering a table full of dishes, Wang Fugui seemed to realize that he was a bit impolite, "Brother, you don't mind, do you?"
"It's nothing, Lord Wang, just order it."
The other party obviously didn't care, but Wang Fugui was worried.
He originally thought that he could take the opportunity to beat this kid up and vent his anger, but he didn't expect that this kid really didn't care and was so generous as to treat him and his brothers.
Could it be that he was thinking too much?
Yuan Qing sat next to Wang Fugui and poured him a glass of wine himself. "I am honored that Lord Wang is willing to give me this honor. Please drink this glass of wine, Brother Wang. It will be my apology."
Wang Fugui was coaxed into feeling dizzy and drank a large glass of wine.
Seeing that he had finished drinking, Yuan Qing hurriedly continued drinking.
"This second cup is to toast to my brother for having the honor of meeting you today." Yuan Qing filled his cup. "Although I have only known you for a few hours, it is better than knowing someone for half a lifetime. Please drink this second cup of wine, big brother."
Wang Fugui felt warm at heart when he was called "Big Brother". After constant persuasion, he quickly drank the second glass of wine.
Yuan Qing struck while the iron was hot and quickly filled the third cup.
"This third cup is to ask Brother Wang to show mercy. That woman has done me a favor. Please give her a chance to live. I will do anything for her. Even if there are dangers in the future, I will not hesitate to sacrifice my life."
Woman?
Wang Fugui couldn't remember who this "woman" he was talking about for a moment, but then he thought of the woman who was standing with him when he saw him today.
It turned out to be her.
Since his brother had asked for it, he couldn't refuse. But when he thought of the beauty, he was even more reluctant.
The group of brothers who had been waiting for a long time saw the opportunity and rushed to the boss to squeeze out the boy they disliked. "Boss, boss, that woman doesn't know what's good for her. With your status, you can get a lot of women. Why waste your time on that woman?"
Yuan Qing was pushed to the back, with his head down and no words.
Having been given the opportunity to show their courtesy, that group of people spared no effort in praising Wang Fugui.
Wang Fugui felt comfortable being praised, and subconsciously picked up the cup in his hand and drank the third cup of wine that Yuan Qing had just poured.
After three glasses of liquor, even a person with a good alcohol tolerance would not be able to handle it. The redness immediately appeared on his face and even his neck.
Wang Fugui felt dizzy from their noise and angrily drove them away. He opened his eyes with great effort and saw the young man sitting silently beside him.
He waved his hand and asked the boy to sit over.
Wang Fugui was no longer fully awake at this moment. The two of them sat together and talked nonsense.
Yuan Qing fooled him and got a lot of information out of him.
Now that we know who is behind Wang Fugui, this matter will be much easier to handle.
……
The next day, Yuan Qing went to Yifeng County to meet the magistrate of Yifeng County.
County Magistrate Zhao was only about 40 years old. He was not a very good official, but he cared about the people. He was just used to taking advantage of his superiors and always wanted to make some money whenever something went wrong.
If Yifeng County is to maintain stability, County Magistrate Zhao cannot be removed, but he can be demoted. It would be best if he were replaced by a new County Magistrate who is not afraid of the powerful forces but can suppress him.
Now that the opportunities to curry favor with his superiors were gone and he had a lot of complicated official duties to attend to, he would naturally calm down.
Now that the decision has been made to change someone, the selection of the new magistrate becomes a difficult problem.
This person cannot come from a poor family, otherwise he will not be able to withstand the pressure from those above him; he must also be upright and dare to fight for the interests of the people; finally, he cannot be old-fashioned, otherwise she will not be able to push Aunt Luo to the top.
We need to return to Beijing to discuss in detail who to send.
County Magistrate Zhao welcomed Yuan Qing into the yamen, and the servants immediately served him tea and snacks.
Yuan Qing bowed to County Magistrate Zhao, who was so frightened that he quickly stepped back and said in a hurry, "What do you mean, Lord Gong? I am embarrassed by this."
Yuan Qing stood up and said with a smile: "I don't mean anything else. I just want to thank you, Lord Zhao, on behalf of some people. If you hadn't supported them from behind, I'm afraid they wouldn't be where they are today."
The reason she came here today was to find out from County Magistrate Zhao how much connection Wang Fugui had with him.
If his fault is serious, there is no need to give him the position of county magistrate and he can be sent away directly.
The new magistrate who will be appointed to Yifeng County in the future will not stay for long. If Magistrate Zhao performs well during his tenure, then after the new magistrate is transferred, the position of magistrate will eventually be his.
This is a chance for him to turn over a new leaf. After all, County Magistrate Zhao is not so bad that he must be punished.
For him, Yifeng County is not only his second hometown, but also the place where he has worked diligently for more than 20 years. No one is more familiar with this place than him.
Yuan Qing stood in the hall of the yamen and said, "I heard that County Magistrate Zhao and Village Chief Wang have a past?"
County Magistrate Zhao was puzzled.
Which village chief Wang?
Yuan Qing saw his confusion and explained it in detail again: "It is the new village chief of Xujia Village, Wang Fugui."
County Magistrate Zhao was still confused.
The yamen runner next to him hurried over and whispered, "Mr. Qian, the man you asked for help before."
Qian Xiucai is the son-in-law of County Magistrate Zhao.
After he reminded him, County Magistrate Zhao remembered.
At that time, the son-in-law asked his daughter to come to him and say that he wanted his help to support someone.
He didn't know the man's background at the time, so he didn't agree easily. He just said he would talk about it when he was free.
But the next day, his son-in-law brought someone to him and said that he wanted his fellow villager to be the village chief.
County Magistrate Zhao was a little confused at the time.
Why does even such a trivial matter as the election of the village chief have to be brought before him?
He looked at the man again.
She was dressed neatly, and her attitude towards him was respectful and polite, which really gave him a good impression.
He thought, he was just a village chief, so just do it, there was nothing to think about.
So he didn't care about it anymore.
Now the adult who came from Beijing suddenly brought it up. Could it be that something went wrong with Wang Fugui?
