Chapter 472 A great gift

Ding Tongzhis expectation was good. Magistrate Liang had not issued any new orders for a long time, which was indeed an obstacle.

This obstacle came from the prefects of Linhe Prefecture and Jinling Prefecture.

Gong Zhifu of Linhe Prefecture and Tan Zhifu of Jinling Prefecture didn't know what was going on. They didn't pay attention to what Zhifu Liang said about the three prefectures encircling the Huai River water bandits.

As a result, he was scolded by Governor Gong.

Magistrate Gong scolded Magistrate Liang: "Master Liang, you should know that encircling the water bandits across the prefectures and using the defenders of the three prefectures is a big deal. Such a big thing can only be carried out with official documents from the capital. You are a small prefect, but you dare to do it For such a big thing, you can seek death yourself, but dont involve me.

Magistrate Liang said: "The water bandits have done a lot of evil and have killed many people on both sides of the Huaihe River over the years. Shouldn't they be suppressed? As for the official documents from the capital, I have already submitted them. The official documents from the capital will be released soon. Magistrate Gong does not need to Worry. Magistrate Gong only needs to inform the Linhe Prefecture garrison and let them prepare to ensure that when the official document from the capital comes, the Linhe Prefecture garrison can immediately leave for the Huai River."

Governor Gong smiled: "Let's wait until the official document comes from the capital. I won't give any orders until the official document comes."

Magistrate Liang choked up and simply quoted an imperial order issued by the first emperor of Da Chu: "The Emperor of Da Chu once ordered that if there is banditry in Da Chu, the state governments do not need to wait for official documents from the capital, but should jointly suppress the bandits. Help the people get rid of their troubles."

Magistrate Gong stood up directly and said: "The emperor has been in power for many years. Now he is the head of the emperor. I am a minister of the emperor. I only listen to the emperor. Let's wait for the official documents from the capital to come out."

Seeing that Magistrate Gong had a tough attitude and refused to agree even to death, Magistrate Liang had to change his mind and said: "If Magistrate Gong is not willing to help, can it be convenient for the He'an garrison to use the road to Huai River?"

Magistrate Gong almost died laughing. He pointed at Magistrate Liang and said: "Governor Liang, let his garrison pass through the border. You can tell this. You want to rebel!"

Magistrate Liang retorted: "According to Da Chu's criminal law, if there is an emergency, half of the soldiers of his garrison can cross the border through other state capitals. Those who dare to block it from other state capitals should be sentenced to delaying the military situation!"

Magistrate Gong smiled disdainfully and said: "Governor Liang, do you want to discuss the criminal law of Dachu with me? There is such a rule, and suppressing bandits is indeed within the scope of urgency. But how do I know that Magistrate Liang is Are you going to suppress bandits or do something shameful?"

What Magistrate Gong said was extremely unpleasant, and Magistrate Liang's face instantly turned black.

The next day, he went to Jinling Mansion again, but was rejected. He returned to the inn frustrated, packed his things, and was about to return to He'an Mansion, but two servants came and invited him to be a guest. .

Magistrate Liang was very puzzled: "A guest? Whose family are you from? I don't have any old friends in Jinling Mansion."

The two servants were dressed in extraordinary clothes, both wearing expensive brocade robes. They cupped their hands in front of Magistrate Liang and said, "I will tell you when Magistrate Liang comes."

He added: "This trip will be beneficial to Magistrate Liang. Please follow the boys quickly and don't keep the master waiting."

Magistrate Liang suddenly remembered something that County Magistrate Xu had said. He immediately understood it, put on new clothes with Master Wu, and followed the two servants away.

They were taken to a boat outside Jinling Mansion and met the son of Magistrate Xu.

Because he was familiar with Magistrate Xu, Magistrate Xu took his son to visit Magistrate Liang. Magistrate Liang recognized him and said hurriedly: "Xu family boy, why are you here?"

Magistrate Xus son is a quite honest young man. After saluting Magistrate Liang, he said, Its the young master from the Zheng family who follows the official family who is looking for you.

Zhifu Liangs eyes lit up. His guess was indeed correct.

As he was talking, several people walked out of the boat, led by two handsome men, none other than Zheng Ying and Guan Zhuo. Behind them were Gu Jinan, Shang Xiucai, and Jiang Jiao.

Zheng Ying smiled and said: "Is Magistrate Liang rejected? There is no need to worry, we have a big gift for Magistrate Liang."

Having said that, he looked at Shangguan Zhuo.

Shangguan Zhuo took out a box and handed it to Magistrate Liang: "Prefect Liang, please take a look."

Magistrate Liang took it and opened it. The frustration in his heart disappeared and he immediately laughed: "It's really a great gift. With this great gift, the encirclement of the water bandits has been completed."

Prefect Liang bowed to Zheng Ying and followed Guan Zhuo: "I would like to thank you two young masters for your help."
