Chapter 2275
Chapter 2280
The county magistrate looked at the carriage of gold pouring out like water, but it had nothing to do with him, his heart ached so badly that he almost couldn't hold back his breath.
Looking at his appearance, Zhao Si sneered in his heart, feeling uncomfortable now? What makes you uncomfortable is yet to come.
Having been with Zhu Yan and Xia Yuanqiu for a few days, he knew something about their tempers. How could they let someone like the magistrate be let go? After the ransacking of the house is done, he will definitely be held accountable. Although he doesn't know what will happen, he will definitely not let the magistrate feel better.
Zhao Si glanced at the black gauze cap on the county magistrate's head, and wondered whether the cap could be kept or not.
The magistrate of the county didn't think so much, he thought that Zhu Yan was just an idle prince, no matter how powerful he was, it was impossible for him to take off his black hat, after all, only the emperor and imperial envoys could do such a thing.
When he finished all the matters of ransacking the house and watched the carts of gold, silver and jewels being taken to the orphanage, he could only calm down and come back to Prince Jing in a desperate manner, and invited Prince Jing It's better to live temporarily in the government office than to live in this simple orphanage.
However, King Jing immediately said to him: "I don't intend to live in that mansion, but it's not suitable for you to continue to live there. From now on, let Zhao Si live there."
The county magistrate was a little confused and didn't understand what the prince meant, so he hurriedly asked: "My lord, what do you mean?" He rolled his eyes and said hurriedly: "My lord, I understand what you mean. Do you want Zhao Si to be reinstated? No problem, no problem. At the beginning, Zhao Si was temporarily suspended, and the officials wanted him to be reinstated a long time ago. The prince and the officials really wanted to go together."
Zhu Yan sat drinking tea, raised his eyebrows and glanced at the county magistrate who was talking to himself, and said in a low voice: "You must have misunderstood, what this king means is that you don't have to go back to that mansion, the county magistrate once again The post will be taken over by Zhao Si, you can go home and farm."
When the county magistrate heard this, his legs softened, and he knelt down in front of Zhu Yan with a plop: "My lord, you, why are you doing this? Your official, your official has always abided by his duty in Jincheng and loved the people like a son. You can't say that you have withdrawn and dismissed from office!"
Zhu Yan put the teacup on the table with a snap, and said coldly, "Abiding by one's duty? Love the people like a child? Are you sure you are talking about yourself?"
The magistrate was a little guilty, but for his own official career, he naturally couldn't let go of a chance.
"My lord, I have never made a mistake in the past few years in Jincheng. My lord can't be dismissed from the post just because I like it. I won't accept it!"
Zhu Yan snorted coldly: "You have never made a mistake? I was asking you, as the parent officer of Jincheng, have you ever redressed the grievances for the hundreds of cities in Jincheng?"
Only then did the magistrate know why Prince Jing wanted to dismiss him. It turned out that it was because of Jin Ba's affairs.
He was speechless for a while, and Zhu Yan continued: "Jin Ba did whatever he wanted in Jincheng, killing people, looting goods, bullying men and women, you don't know about these things? The people in Jincheng have never sued the officials? And you What have you done?"
The county magistrate raised his eyes to look at the majestic Prince Jing, his peach eyes shone coldly, his face was like a crown of jade but full of evil spirits, obviously he was completely disappointed in him.
He murmured: "Jin Ba's big backer is very powerful in the capital, I don't dare to offend easily, my lord, I also have no choice but to ask my lord for mercy, my lord for mercy!"
