Chapter 224 Dry Service
Shen Qingzhou also knew about some public opinions outside, but he knew that many people still did not dare to believe him now. Even some people in the government office still thought that he was a new official who made three major changes after taking office.

Although he is famous in Sanyang County, many people still don't believe him when he arrives at the government office. But it's okay, you will know what will happen next.

Qin Prajna was going crazy, so she added fuel to the fire. Why didn't Shen Qingzhou give anyone any face? Although Zhang Sanjiang from the Household Affairs Office was arrested, the next day, Wang Tieying from the Criminal Justice Office was fired for failing to report the case properly and accepting bribes. Moreover, this time, the entire criminal justice office was almost completely replaced.

"Sir Qin, although Shen Qingzhou and I have a past, this is his style of doing things. As my nickname suggests, the most likely possibility is that he will make a memorial and directly demote me from my position. If I don't want to come to Dongyang Prefecture, he will remain unchanged." The Tongzhi looked at Qin Prajna respectfully.

The other party was a special envoy sent by Prince Yu. Normally, he had no chance to meet such an important figure. It was only this time, when the new prefect took office, that he met the other party.

The reason Qin Prajna came this time was to ask him about the specific matters regarding Shen Qingzhou, and one more thing, whether he could find a way to control it. Currently, the Crown Prince's power has not been eliminated, and Prince Yu's power has suffered heavy losses.

Although it was a bit exaggerated, a prefecture was nothing to the entire Liang State, especially some officials in the government office, who themselves did not know which force they belonged to. However, Qin Prajna could feel that what she could mobilize was getting smaller.

Previously, the complete evidence of Zhang Sanjiang's guilt was provided by Wang Tieying from the Criminal Chamber. Although the other party thought that it was wanted by the Tongzhi, it is not so easy now.

"Is he really so inhuman?" Qin Prajna said.

"Many people think that he just wants to establish an image of being fair and honest, but if you knew his specific experiences over the years and then went to Sanyang County, you would know that this guy is really upright to the extreme. Since I became an official, I have never seen such a person." said the Tongzhi.

"Oh no, oh no, sir." As he was speaking, someone came to report.

"What's wrong?" said the Tongzhi.

"The prefect has ordered people to surround the Tongpan's residence. It seems that Zhang Sanjiang has confessed."

The Tongzhi was a little confused. What did he mean by "Zhang Sanjiang confessed"? His little thing had already been resolved, so why was he confessing?
The Tongzhi felt a little dizzy and suddenly had a feeling that the reason why Wang Tieying from the criminal department was arrested deliberately was because they were afraid that he would know about this. As long as he was an official, there would be no fear that he would not be investigated.

"this."

……

"Sir Shen, although there is some misunderstanding between you and me, coming here so late at night, isn't it excessive?" A bearded man looked at Shen Qingzhou with dangerous eyes. He never thought that there would be a day when he would be surrounded.

He is a true sixth-rank official and the third most important person in the entire Dongyang Prefecture. He is in charge of the military and water conservancy affairs of Dongyang Prefecture.

Even the prefect couldn't deal with him without a very reasonable reason. This was also the result of him not paying too much attention to Shen Qingzhou's appointment. He and Shen Qingzhou had a grudge and he had planned to find a chance to explain it, but there was no need to do this.

"Sir Wang, there is no need to say more. You have committed a crime. I am not afraid to tell you that when I was the county magistrate of Sanyang County, the previous county magistrate and county magistrate were killed. I ordered a thorough investigation and when I knew that you were going to take over as the prefect, I was already prepared.

The housekeeper in your house has been captured. He confessed that he bribed the yamen runners and then hired a martial arts master to assassinate the two people.

And in order to prevent you from silencing me, I have hidden the evidence so that it can be found by me. This time, I took office and took action against the prison for this day." Shen Qingzhou said.

What he said was a bit nonsense, but he also had a reasonable reason. On the first day in office, he received an anonymous letter, which contained the cause and effect of the cooperation between the Tongpan, the county magistrate and the county magistrate, and the silencing of the witnesses.

He had indeed investigated, but although he was a powerful figure in Sanyang County, he could not influence the provincial government. As for who the murderer was, he had known it for a long time, or rather, the Tongpan himself did not intend to hide the truth from many people. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, he planned to take it slow. Now, someone had passed the message to him, and he didn't care what the other party's purpose was, as long as it was beneficial to him.

"You, if you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext for it." Judge Wang's eyes were flaming with anger.

"Capture him, Sanyang, and search him carefully." With one order, the Tongpan Prefecture was captured and the entire Dongyang Prefecture was shocked.

Qin Prajna felt that Shen Qingzhou was finished. She was the one who provided the evidence. However, her original intention was to slowly bring down the judge. Shen Qingzhou also approached Prince Yu, but who told you to be so politically unwise and to stir up trouble like this? Yes, the evidence was conclusive and everyone believed it, but from today on, Shen Qingzhou's order was as good as not being issued. Everyone was in danger, and it was not good to use force directly.

"Kid, wait and see how long you can keep sitting on the prefectural seat." The Tongpan and Shen Qingzhou passed each other again, and the Tongpan said.

"Alas." The Tongzhi also saw this and felt something in his heart. The two were political opponents, but they had never had such a rough confrontation. Or rather, it couldn't be like this. Whoever didn't have something under his butt could use the east wind to overwhelm the west wind, but he couldn't use such a crime to imprison a county magistrate. He was still guilty. Even he himself had never thought of using the county magistrate to take him down. He just wanted to make him give up some of his interests.

……

"Your Excellency, I, Zhang Daniu, have worked diligently and have not had a day off for many years. This time, my mother is seriously ill, so please allow me to take three days off."

"allow."

"Sir, we have not had a day off for half a year due to the tax collection."

"Take a break, right? Sure."

Early the next morning, Shen Qingzhou came to the government office to handle some government affairs. For someone at his level, attending class was just the smallest thing.

Maybe it's because there has been too much noise in the past few days, causing this group of people to take a rest on their own initiative or be instigated. They want to let others know how important they are no longer.

And everyone is very united. Most of the people in charge of the three shifts and six rooms are no longer there.

"Order Wang Daniu to temporarily take over as the head of the household department." Those who have asked for leave have not left yet, and someone who has not asked for leave is about to take over. Of course, not everyone can ask for leave, as this would be a blatant act of causing trouble, and no one wants that.

"This, I will obey your orders."

"The household cannot be left alone for a day. There are more than 30 people on leave. I ask you to fill in the number. Please have confidence. If you do a good job, I will reward you more."

"This, I will obey your orders."

"Sir, this." Zhang Daniu said.

"Master Zhang, why are you still here? Go back and take care of your family."

……

Sanyang County.

"Except for those who hold official positions and do not affect the operation of the county government, all prefectural officials will be sent to the prefectural government for other important tasks."

On that day, Shen Qingzhou sent people back to Sanyang County to transfer people, and asked them to work there first. People with official positions could not be moved around, and the clerks without official positions could be treated at will.

"Order the people of Shenjia Village and Zhangjia Village to send their best men to Dongyang Prefecture to set up a business and travel to Dongyang."

The county magistrate was so angry that his mouth was crooked. Is this my county? You took away all the people with just two pieces of paper.

He does not have Shen Qingzhou's courage and is trying to win over the county magistrate, but it is useless because the county magistrate is an outsider, but he has already been subdued.
