The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

Even Zhong Mugen didn't know.

Perhaps, it was because Zhong Wen's grandfather thought that his father or brother had passed away long ago, so he chose to hide some things in order to survive.

As far as Zhong Zhen said, the predecessors of the Zhong family were once officials.

The highest is Yuanwailang's, which is an official from the sixth rank.

It's just that, at that time, it belonged to the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and it couldn't be compared with Yuanwailang from the sixth grade in the Tang Dynasty.

On that day, Zhong Wen's family and Zhong's family were very happy, and their laughter attracted the villagers of Sandou Village to come and watch the fun.

As for the village chief of Sandou Village, when he learned that the governor had arrived in Sandou Village, he even brought the villagers of Sandou Village to visit him.

Now, when the villagers of Sandou Village learned that the Zhong clan, who were originally outsiders, had a governor, their eyes were full of fawning.

However, fortunately, the Song clan in Sandou Village has never bullied the Zhong clan, and the relationship between the two clans is also very good.

Otherwise, they would have to wake up in the middle of the night.

One day later, Zhong Wen's family worshiped their ancestors and re-entered the family tree. After that, they officially returned to the Zhong family.

For this reason, Zhong Mugen never lost his smile on his face.

Even everyone in the Zhong family was the same, all smiling.

With Zhong Wen as the governor, it is estimated that they can walk sideways in the future.

However, walking sideways is unlikely.

According to Zhong Wen's temperament, it is also appropriate for Bang to show off to his own family members.

But if it is too selfish, it is probably not possible.

At this time, Zhong Zhen, the patriarch of the Zhong clan, pulled Zhong Wen and said, "Xiao Wen, look at your cousin who is so oppressed by the Sanquan county magistrate that he can barely hold his head up. I have to help a bunch of Ben Gen, otherwise, Ben Gen will probably be dismissed from the post of county lieutenant in two years."

Zhong Mugen and his wife sat on the side, looking at Zhong Bengen, wondering why his uncle would say such words.

However, Zhong Mugen had just found his own family, so he naturally hoped that his son could help his family, so he said to Zhong Wen: "Xiaowen, you can take care of your uncle's affairs, he is your cousin , outsiders have bullied your cousin, if you don't help, I won't forgive you."

When Zhong Wen heard this, although he was not very clear about the situation in Sanquan County, but seeing his cousin standing aside with his head bowed, he also knew that Zhong Bengen seemed to be in trouble, so he immediately asked: "Cousin, What is going on in Sanquan County now, please tell me."

Zhong Ben is a dull person at all, and he is rigid in everything he does, with little flexibility.

It's really not easy for him to mess around in the officialdom with his temper.

"Sanquan County has always been like this. Although all the yamen and officials are working hard, the county magistrate Wang Shiyu has been suppressing me because he is the county magistrate, and the boss is them. He even messed up his own people. After entering the county government office, we have to act according to his face in many things, and..." Zhong Bengen saw Zhong Wen's question and quickly responded.

Chapter 597 The authority was moved by Xia Lizhou

Along with Zhong Bengen's words, Zhong Wen discovered that Sanquan County has now become an independent kingdom.

What Zhong Wen wants is that all the efforts of the prefectures and counties must be exerted on the people, not on the families of the officials.

Moreover, Zhong Wen has long been upset with Wang Shiyu.

Zhong Wen remembered this person.

Wang Shiyu, the new county magistrate of Sanquan County, was once attacked by a tiger because of a village in Sanquan County. As a county magistrate, he could not lift his hands or move his legs.

Zhong Wen has never been in the mood to deal with these problems of officials.

Now, what Zhong Bengen said made Zhong Wen suspicious.

At least, from Sanquan County, Zhong Wen couldn't think that other counties in Lizhou were probably the same.

It's like one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

As an official, the clan's family will naturally be taken care of.

As for Zhong Wen, the governor, no one from his own family took care of him, but he, a small county magistrate, took care of his own people first.

This had to make Zhong Wen secretly hate.

"Cousin, in this case, you go back to Sanquan County first. As for your duties, you can act according to the normal rules of conduct. I will go back in a while. I will send the next inspection team down at that time. You can report how you want, and I will take Sanquan County first." After thinking for a while, Zhong Wen already had an idea in his mind.

As far as the current situation in Lizhou is concerned, it has been several years since Zhong Wen went down to the counties to check.

Now, with Sanquan County like this, there is no need to think about Qiye County.

Therefore, Zhong Wen is going to take Sanquan County to the sword.

Perhaps, it is also because Zhong Wen, the domineering governor, has been doing nothing for a long time, which makes the people below behave like this.

Speaking of which, Zhong Wen has no objection to the appointment of relatives.

But if the person he appoints has no ability, then Zhong Wen will definitely beat you until you can’t get up, and those incompetent people, Zhong Wen will definitely let him go, and even confiscate his money and property.

As long as anyone dares to mess around on his one-acre three-point land, Zhong Wen will not show mercy.

"Is this feasible? I'm afraid it will have a bad influence on you." Zhong Bengen worried.

"What are you afraid of? With me here, there will be no chaos in Lizhou. If anyone dares to make chaos, I will dare to kill! Hmph, if you dare to stretch out your hands on my territory, let alone a small county magistrate, even a holy magistrate I would dare to cut off his hand." Zhong Wen's face was filled with hatred, and his face was cold, which made Zhong Zhen and the others a little afraid of Zhong Wen's name as the governor.

"Brother, I want to go back with you." Xiaohua came in from the door at this time, and when she heard Zhong Wen was going back to Lizhou, she hurriedly approached Zhong Wen and said anxiously.

After Xiaohua came to Sandou Village, she spent two days making fun of her, but today she is a bit salty.

It's not as fun in the village as in Lizhou.

Moreover, she has been in Longquan Village recently, either wandering around in the mountains and forests, and hunting some prey to go home from time to time.

Zhong Mugen and his wife really couldn't control her anymore.

"Why are you going back? You just stay here and don't even think about going anywhere." Zhong Mugen knew that his son had something to do and his daughter would go back with him, so he was not at ease.

With his daughter's temperament, he was afraid that Xiao Hua would mess up Zhong Wen's affairs.

Zhong Mugen finally found a relative, so he will stay in Sandou Village for a while no matter what.

Moreover, he also intends to stay temporarily to get in touch with his uncle's family and several other families. It is impossible for him to return to Longquan Village in a short time.

"Xiao Hua, Mom and Dad are here, so you stay here first and protect Mom and Dad well. Brother has something to do, so I won't take you back. I'll come back in a few days." Zhong Wen looked at Xiao Hua With a pouted face, she also knew that she wanted to follow him back to Lizhou.

However, Zhong Wen was worried about his parents, so leaving Xiao Hua behind could be regarded as a certain guarantee.

Xiaohua is currently only at the Houtian realm, but facing some sudden small thieves or wild beasts in the mountains, she will definitely be able to catch them with ease.

Although most people in Sandou Village are good at hunting, having Xiaohua around can always make Zhong Wen feel at ease.

Not much to say, after Zhong Wen arranged everything, he left Sandou Village with Zhong Bengen.

However, when the two were approaching Sanquan County, Zhong Wen and Zhong Bengen separated.

"Lieutenant Zhongxian, where have you been these two days? Why didn't you report it to me?" When Zhong Bengen returned to the county office, the county magistrate Wang Shiyu looked unhappy.

"Back to county magistrate Wang, I went home and I have some things to deal with at home, and I have also greeted the county magistrate." Seeing the expression of county magistrate Wang Shiyu, Zhong Bengen knew that he was looking for trouble for himself up.

Some time ago, a relative of Wang Shiyu's clan caused trouble and was arrested by Zhong Bengen. Wang Shiyu was so angry that he let him go, and even punished those yamen servants.

Although the incident caused by his relatives in the sect was not a big deal, it was just because he hurt someone, so Zhong Bengen arrested him so that he could be investigated and interrogated.

But the county magistrate Wang Shiyu didn't say anything, let people go without saying anything, and even fired those yamen servants, which made Zhong Bengen feel aggrieved.

For this reason, those yamen servants went to Zhong Bengen's home to sue the county magistrate.

But how can a county lieutenant beat a county magistrate without any background.

What's more, since Wang Shiyu took office, he gradually discovered that Sanquan County was like his territory, and everyone began to push into it.

Up to now, nearly half of all the yamen servants in the public security incidents under the jurisdiction of the county lieutenant are members of his clan of Wang Shiyu.

"Go home? If you really have something to do at home, then go home and deal with it first. As for the security of this county, I will handle it." Wang Shiyu looked at Zhong Bengen and said coldly.

"County magistrate Wang, the affairs of my family have been taken care of, and I don't need to bother county magistrate Wang with regard to public security in this county." How could Zhong Bengen not know that Wang Shiyu was going to seize his power.

Although the county magistrate has the right to intervene in matters of public security in the county, even in some counties, the county magistrate is in charge of the county captain.

But in Sanquan County, that is absolutely impossible.

Zhong Bengen managed to get from a yamen servant to the post of county lieutenant.

No matter how dull Zhong Bengen is and how he doesn't know how to exploit, it is impossible for him to hand over this power.

"Hmph, you Zhongxian Lieutenant is more and more law-abiding. You arrested Wang Shi and the others two days ago. They were not at fault. Why did you arrest me? If you don't understand the laws of Tang Dynasty and don't respect the new laws of Lizhou, what should I do?" Don't worry, County Captain Zhong, you'd better go home to recuperate, besides, your wife's body can't tolerate you being away from home every day." Although Wang Shiyu has no ability to manage a county, he can easily grasp how to hold power.

But at this time, Wang Shiyu's words obviously carried a sense of threat.

"County magistrate Wang, I am the county captain appointed by the government office of Lizhou. Are you not afraid that I will go to Lizhou to sue you for your brutal behavior?" Zhong Bengen was furious at Wang Shiyu's words, and stared wide Staring at Wang Shiyu, he said angrily.

"Sue me? When did I become arrogant? This county is thinking of your wife, children, and children, so you can go home to recuperate. If the superior officials are to be sued for the consolation of the subordinate officials, then there is nothing in this world that cannot be sued, okay? , I won’t say much about these things, go home and rest, your post of county lieutenant will be under the jurisdiction of this county for the time being. Come and send Zhong County lieutenant back to the mansion to rest.” Wang Shiyu is really not afraid that Zhong Bengen will sue him.

As far as he knew, given the current situation in Lizhou, it was impossible for Zhong Wen, the governor, to come to Sanquan County.

Moreover, he also knew that Zhong Wen, the governor, did not show up all year round, and Lizhou seemed to have no governor.

Even if Zhong Wen showed up, he, Wang Shiyu, was not afraid.

He is in the government office of Lizhou, but there are people.

Moreover, that person can send messages to him at any time, as long as there is any change in Zhong Wen, he will know at any time.

As soon as Wang Shiyu's words fell, several yamen servants rushed over and surrounded Zhong Bengen.

Zhong Wen didn't know what happened to Zhong Bengen when he returned to Sanquan County.

Zhong Wen was rushing back to the mountains and forests of Lizhou.

Half an hour later, Zhong Wen arrived in Lizhou City.

"Call me the person in charge of the law enforcement team, and also call me Lu Lindong from the Commander's Mansion, and let them come to the County Marquis's Mansion to meet me." After returning to the mansion, Zhong Wen turned to a The little official gave orders, and then Zhong Wen called Zheng Zhi out again, and took Zheng Zhi directly to the County Marquis Mansion.

Zhong Wen will not discuss this matter in the government office.

There are problems in the counties below, and the government government may also have problems.

As for whether there is any problem with the Commanding Army Mansion and the law enforcement team, Zhong Wen can only trust these two people for the time being.

However, according to Zhong Wen's understanding of the law enforcement team and the Tongjun Mansion, at least there should be no problem with people in these two areas.

If there were problems in both aspects, then Zhong Wen, the governor, would have failed in his job.

"Inspector Zhong, what happened? You came back to see the law enforcement team or General Lu. Are there any foreign enemies?" Zheng Zhi asked Zhong Wen nervously when he saw many people coming to the County Marquis's mansion. road.

However, Zhong Wen didn't answer, and kept quietly waiting for everyone to come.

After all the people arrived, Zhong Wen glanced coldly at all the people one by one and asked loudly: "Among you, is there anyone who has enriched himself or acted for the benefit of himself and his family and relatives, please stand up on your own. "

As soon as Zhong Wen's words fell, in the eyes of everyone, they were puzzled.

"Inspector, what happened? Why did you get so angry?" Lu Lindong asked in confusion.

Zhong Wen still didn't say a word, he observed everyone quietly, and found that no one had any abnormal movements, so he felt a little more at ease.

"Okay, since you all think that you have no problem, then I, Zhong, believe that you really have no problem. Everyone, sit down and listen to me." Zhong Wen said to everyone.

"The county magistrate of Sanquan County is nepotism. Most of the people of his own clan work in the county government. I will not talk about his ability. As far as I know, Wang Shiyu, the county magistrate of Sanquan County, was born in the local clan of Sanquan County. The Wang family is very powerful. Taking advantage of the interests of the public, devouring the interests of the people and other evil things, I order you, Lu Lindong, and various law enforcement teams to go to Sanquan County to eliminate these wicked people..."

Together with Zhong Wen's words, the hearts of those present were shocked.

No one thought that when Zhong Wen opened his mouth, he would use a county magistrate to perform the operation, and the person who performed the operation was probably a local clan.

However, no one would object to Zhong Wen, even Zheng Zhi, who had always opposed Zhong Wen, felt agitated in his heart after hearing Zhong Wen's words.

Two quarters of an hour later, hundreds of people rushed out of Lizhou City, heading towards Sanquan County.

Chapter 598 Go Home Alone and Meet a Master

Sanquan County needs to be rectified, and other counties should also be rectified.

This is Zhong Wen's current thinking.

If there is a problem in one county, then other counties will be similar.

As for the size of the problem, it depends on the situation of each county. At least, Zhong Wen is sure that other counties in Lizhou must have some problems.

And just now, Zhong Wen had conveyed his meaning.

Zhong Wen didn't want the government officials to know their actions.

After all, there are problems in the counties below, and there must be some problems in the government office. As for who is behind this, as long as the counties below are completed, the people in this government office will naturally be exposed.

"Inspector Zhong, aren't General Lu and the others afraid of going wrong when they go to Sanquan like this?" Zheng Zhi still had some worries in his heart.

"What's the problem? What's the problem? The county magistrate is rotten, and the whole county is rotten. We are dealing with problems now, so we are not afraid of problems. If anyone dares to jump out at this time, I will kill him. Don't talk about him. A small county magistrate, even if the emperor ordered him to be exonerated, I will kill him." Zhong Wen really hated Wang Shiyu from Sanquan County.
