Don't move, this child bride is not easy to mess with.

The immediate boss of the county magistrate is the magistrate. Fortunately, the prefect of Qingyang is old and is about to retire, so he doesn't care about anything.

But the governor of the government was young and powerful, and actually controlled the real power of Qingyang Mansion. It was he who sent an experienced officer to supervise Xie Chengan.

In addition to the magistrates of the government, there are also some government officials. Xie Chengan cannot afford to offend him for any general judge or official recommendation.

Above the mansion there is the Sansi Yamen of Jiangbei Province.

The administrative envoy in charge of government affairs is the feudal lord, the administrative envoy in charge of justice is the governor, and the commander in charge of the military is the capital.

Whichever yamen sent people down, Xie Chengan had to take care of them.

Different from Qingsong County, Gaoyang Mountain on the border of Anlan County also has a thousand households stationed there. They are of the fifth rank and are larger than Xie Chengan, the county magistrate.

Although the actual power of military attaches is weaker than that of civilian officials, Xie Chengan has to show face when they come.

Therefore, in the month since he took office as An Lan, Xie Chengan has been so busy that he has been hitting the back of his head. He has not actually done anything practical, but has been entertaining these bosses or the people they sent.

Investigation?

That can only be implemented by the people below.

Fortunately, Jiang Ruiyan came up with suggestions and directed the three squads of yamen servants and the six-room clerks to do things.

However, although Jiang Ruiyan had studied curtain studies, it was his first time to serve, and he was too busy to care about the beginning and the end. The key is that he has some incompetence in commanding these officials and servants.

Twenty days ago, Qing Niu came to report; half a month ago, Lin Xu came to report. Finally, the people in the county government were slowly gathered and sorted out, so that they could at least obey orders.

Although there are many people in the county government, they can be summarized into three types of people: officials, officials, and servants.

Officials are people who talk; officials are people who use writing; servants are people who run errands.

Anlan is a large county, so in addition to Xie Chengan, there are also county magistrates, chief registrars, historians, inspections, edicts and other officials.

The county magistrate is equivalent to the executive deputy county magistrate; the chief registrar is equivalent to the secretary-general and director of the office; Dianshi is equivalent to the public security director; inspection is equivalent to the police station chief; the lecturing officer is equivalent to the director of the Education Bureau...

The Liufang clerk is responsible for most of the official documents and paperwork in the county government.

The three shifts of yamen are the specific execution staff, divided into Zaoban, Kuaiban and Zhuangban.

Qingniu was appointed as the leader of the Zaoban class, in charge of the county government office, standing hall, and reporting cases. Equivalent to the security captain and the bailiff captain.

With Qing Niu on duty, Xie Chengan's instructions were carried out in a timely and smooth manner, and he himself felt a little more secure.

Although Qing Niu was on duty for the first time, after Jiang Ruiyan's training, he did a decent job and gradually showed his ability. Qing Niu is a simple and honest person, but his brain is not very flexible, but he does things seriously and meticulously and never makes mistakes.

The main responsibilities of the fast squad are to arrest criminals, solve cases, etc., and are equivalent to the captain of the criminal police.

Lin Xu arrived in Anlan just half a month ago. Xie Chengan appointed him as the chief catcher of the fast class. Although there is still no breakthrough in the two murder cases, Lin Xu has organized the entire fast team into obedience.

Zhuangban is the officer responsible for guarding city gates, government offices, warehouses, prisons and other departments. At the same time, they are also responsible for various patrols within the county. The team leader was a local, so Xie Chengan was not in a hurry to change.

In addition to the six office clerks and three squads of yamen servants, there are also various miscellaneous servants such as jailers, gatekeepers, archers, gangsters, grain messengers, and patrol camps.

Now that Jiang Ruiyan is in charge of civil affairs, Lin Xu is in charge of military affairs, and Qingniu is as strong as his arms, Xie Chengan can finally sort out some things.

Xie Chengan had already heard about the fact that Su Mulan opened Mulan Zhai and sold new pastries during this period. Among the various delicacies in the shop, green cattle had already been brought back for Xie and Jiang to taste.

Xie Chengan wanted to see Su Mulan, but he didn't want to be too busy this month and never have time to spare.

Jiang Ruiyan also advised him not to see Mulan for the time being.

When he first arrived, all eyes and ears were on Xie Chengan, and any little move he made would be noticed and taken to heart by those who were interested.

It might bring disaster to Su Mulan.

Although Qing Niu and Lin Xu control the two squads of yamen and seem to be quite effective now, after all, time is still short, how can they completely control them?

Everything that happens in this county government office cannot be hidden from anyone. After all, specific service staff must be recruited locally so that they are more familiar with the local customs.

However, as long as you are a local, you are naturally inextricably linked to the local forces. Therefore, even if all the government officials are replaced, the county government cannot be weatherproof and immune to all kinds of poisons.

For example, now that Xie Chengan has eaten a few cream biscuits, the leaders of the local forces will know about it at night. As long as they want to know.

Your official position is as clean as water, but your officials are as slippery as oil.

All county magistrates in the world are exiled officials, and they will also face Xie Chengan's current situation.

If the magistrate is willing to turn a blind eye or close one eye. Then the local forces and these officials and servants will naturally give them face. If the magistrate wants to change the place, I'm sorry, then they will make trouble.

If we really want to fight each other, it depends on who is strong in the background and who is confident.

No one wants to be a confused official, and no county magistrate wants to be robbed of power. However, if you can't fight, you can only lie down helplessly.

Collect cash, get some benefits, and continue to be an official in another place after serving. The sedan chair was carried by everyone, saying hello, hello to me, hello to everyone. A lifetime has passed like this.

However, there are heroes in this world. There is never a shortage of iron-fisted county magistrates. In every dynasty and every generation, there are always a few outstanding politicians who fight from the local level to the capital court.

What will happen to Xie Chengan in the future?

Jiang Ruiyan looked at the county magistrate in front of him, his brother, and his only close friend, but he was filled with thoughts.

"Brother, when do you think I can meet Mulan? This official position is quite restrictive. It's better to live happily before the election." Seeing Jiang Ruiyan's silence, Xie Chengan asked again.

"Now that the inside and outside have been initially clarified, as long as the two murder cases come to light, there won't be much danger." Jiang Ruiyan pondered for a moment and said.

"So do you have any clues about this murder case?" Xie Chengan said solemnly.

"The inn murder case seems simple, but upon closer inspection it turns out to be quite complicated. The county government murder case seems complicated, but upon closer inspection it turns out to be quite simple." Jiang Ruiyan also said solemnly.

"Oh? Brother, please tell me in detail. Please read the details carefully. Now that I have some free time, I need to investigate clearly before the year and catch the murderer!" Xie Chengan said anxiously when he heard that he had a clue.

"The former magistrate Mr. Wang was indeed killed by someone else. The murderer is probably Master Xia." Jiang Ruiyan looked at the door and saw nothing unusual, but lowered his voice.

"Why would he do this? Is there any conclusive evidence?" Xie Chengan's face changed slightly, and Master Xia's pale face and sinister eyes could not help but appear in his mind.

"According to what Lin Xu said, Mr. Wang was investigating Master Xia during his lifetime. He was suspected of colluding with horse thieves to intercept merchants and make money. He was even a horse thief!" Jiang Ruiyan said worriedly.

"What? Master Xia is a horse thief, how is that possible!" Xie Chengan looked at him in shock.
