The government officials standing on both sides murmured in their hearts, "I didn't know who wanted to show official power just now, but now it's better? They're blaming us."

The government officials hurried forward and after a while, took off the shackles from Su Qi'an and the other three.

County Magistrate Zhou Qi waved his hand, and the government officials left one after another. Tieniu and Shuisheng, who were standing behind them, also turned and left.

In the lobby, only Zhou Qi and Su Qi'an were left.

With a smile on his face, Zhou Qi ushered Su Qi'an to his seat, with a flattering look on his face, "It was my lax control that caused such a misunderstanding. I hope there are many people in Su Ju, so don't blame me."

Su Qi'an was sitting in the upper seat. He was not touched by Zhou Qi's apology and explanation, and looked indifferent.

This scene made Zhou Qi's heart feel cold. If those who came to Lingdong County today were people from other counties.

Zhou Qi's ability to do this was a huge honor to Tian Tian. Although his status as a judge was equivalent to that of a county magistrate, he was still a reserve official who had not yet been assigned by the court.

When meeting the local magistrate, both sides have to give face, and they will never think too highly of themselves and refuse to step down even if they are given the opportunity.

However, the Juren sitting in the upper seat is not an ordinary person. This Su Qi'an from Lingbei County must be talented and knowledgeable, resourceful and resourceful, but he is also versatile in both civil and military affairs.

Who knows what he has been through during the six months since he disappeared? Zhou Qi doesn't believe him at all if he says he wasted his life.

Zhou Qi smiled bitterly and said to Su Qian, "Su Juren, let me call you my lord. What happened today is my fault. It is normal for Su Juren to be angry. As long as Su Juren can forgive me, I will fight or not."

Scold and let him be punished."

For a county magistrate to be able to say these words, his attitude is already very low.

A trace of surprise appeared on Su Qian's indifferent face, and he said, "What did Magistrate Zhou say? Su just passed by Lingdong County and ran into what happened today, and then took action. How can we blame Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Qi nodded repeatedly, polite on the surface, but in his heart he was cursing, "Is this called passing by? If I hadn't lowered my attitude, I don't know how today would have ended."

"Anyway, the matter has been cleared up today, the misunderstanding has been cleared up, and the matter is over."

"That's right, that's right. It was just a misunderstanding. Let's get over it." Zhou Qi quickly agreed.

Just when Zhou Qi felt a little relieved, Su Qi'an's long voice suddenly sounded again.

"This matter is in the past, but what I saw in Lingdong today really opened Su's eyes. Is the Song family in Lingdong so rampant? Do they dare to commit murder in the street? Even County Magistrate Zhou dare not take care of this matter?"

Zhou Qi's heart tightened. He already knew the purpose of Su Qi'an's coming. It was not that simple. What was supposed to come was still coming.

Zhou Qi had no intention of hiding it, sighed, and said directly, "Well, Mr. Su doesn't know something. The Song family is the real hegemon in Lingdong County. If nothing else, just for the years that the Song family has been around,

It will last several times longer than my time as county magistrate."

"There are countless children and scholars who have been born, and even the candidates can be counted on two fingers. Moreover, they are related to the Wei family in central Sichuan. With the Wei family behind it, Mr. Su wants to overthrow the Song family. I still advise Mr. Su to be young."

Take care of this matter to avoid disaster."

"Haha, what a disaster. Since Magistrate Zhou has confided his true feelings, Su will also tell Magistrate Zhou. Su really wants to do something about the Song family in Lingdong."

When these words came out, Zhou Qi was really shocked. He had already heard about Su Qi'an's boldness, but he didn't expect that Su Qi'an's purpose was so big after this meeting.

Get rid of the Song family? Isn’t this seeking death?

Zhou Qi reacted and said quickly, "I know that Mr. Su is both civil and military. Looking at all counties, everyone will give him face. But this is not Lingbei County. If you want to disturb the Song family, I advise you to give up this idea."

"There is a reason why the Song family has been able to stand in Lingdong County for sixty or seventy years. Once the Song family is disturbed, I am not kidding, and the entire Lingdong County will be in chaos."

Su Qi'an smiled and said, "A big chaos? Big chaos or not, the order in Lingdong County is about to change. It's time to take advantage of this trend and pull it out together. However, this matter requires the full support of County Magistrate Zhou."

Zhou Qi was really frightened now. This Lingbei Su Qi'an was not only brave, but also wanted to involve him.

Zhou Qi shook his head quickly and refused decisively, "Sir, you want to move the Song family. I have tried my best to say good things, but I can't change your mind. I have exhausted my benevolence and righteousness, but it is absolutely impossible for me to support you."

"Although I am confused, I also know that this matter is fatal. If you insist on doing it, sir, it is your business. I will never get involved. The matter is over. Sir, please."

Zhou Qi's attitude was very firm, and after he finished speaking, he even looked like he was going out as a treat.

If it weren't for Su Qi'an's identity and strength, Zhou Qi would never be so polite. He has already told him what should be said and what should not be said. If Su Qi'an insists on doing this, everything has nothing to do with him.

Zhou Qi's determination was unexpected by Su Qi'an, but he had no intention of leaving immediately.

Looking at Zhou Qi, he was silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "What if Su did not use his status as a judge to request Lord Zhou, but instead asked Lord Dongshan to order you?"

Su Qi'an's voice was very soft, but Zhou Qi's expression changed instantly. He raised his head sharply and stared at Su Qi'an with an expression of disbelief, as if he had heard wrongly.

After a long while, he stuttered and said, "What...sir, what did you say? You are the newly canonized Dongshan Bo!"

Su Qi'an said nothing and took out a token from his arms, with three big characters written on it, "Uncle Dongshan!"

At this moment, Zhou Qi almost fell off the back of his chair. After confirming the authenticity of the token, Zhou Qi knelt down on the ground and said nervously.

"I have offended the earl, and I hope you will forgive me."

Zhou Qi said this "sir" from the bottom of his heart. The status of an earl is not a big deal in Daliang, but it is not a small one at all.

He does not have fiefdom, military power, or the right to collect taxes, but his status is there and he is a serious nobleman.

At the county level, it is impossible to cover the sky with one hand, but at the county level, it is enough to move sideways.

His status is definitely higher than that of a county official.

Moreover, Dongshan Bo's status as an earl has a great background.

They, the local officials, did not know the specific details of the Ningzhou war, but the only thing they knew was that they heard that the Duke of Chaotang was arguing endlessly about the Earl of Dongshan.

In the end, His Majesty came forward and decided on this identity.

His Majesty can be asked to come forward in person, just for this reason. The gold content of this Earl of Dongshan is far beyond the comparison of other earls.

Moreover, the identity of Earl Dongshan is very mysterious and he has done a good job of keeping it secret. Not to mention them, not even the county governor knows his identity.

I only know that after the war in Ningzhou on the border, there was an additional Earl of Dongshan who was personally canonized by His Majesty, which invisibly added a touch of mystery.

Zhou Qi had never thought that this mysterious Dongshan Bo would be Su Qi'an.

And to appear in front of him like this at this moment, this feeling makes people feel inexplicably unreal.

But when I look back, I think that Su Qi'an disappeared for half a year, which is exactly the right time. But I also think that Su Qi'an, who disappeared for half a year, actually went to the most dangerous border battlefield.

Not only did he die, but he also became a count.

In Zhou Qi's heart, there were ten thousand grass and mud horses galloping past, but more of them were yelled at by the other party.

As the parent official of Lingbei County, he must know Su Qi'an's identity, and he is probably the only one who knows it.

"What the hell, after all, I've been a neighbor for more than ten years and you didn't even tell him this bit of news. Lao Fang, you are really nothing."

Su Qi'an naturally didn't know what Zhou Qi was thinking. He looked at Zhou Qi who was trembling, stretched out his hand, helped him up, and said.

"Lord Zhou, you don't have to be so polite. Su is just lucky. Now that Lord Zhou already knows Su's identity, I don't need to say anything more about what you will do next."

Although Zhou Qi was not as firm as before, he still looked troubled.

Su Qi'an's status as an earl really shocked Zhou Qi, but asking him to deal with the Song family might cost his life.

Not to mention that Su Qi'an was a count, even if he was a marquis, Zhou Qi was afraid that he would not readily agree.

Su Qi'an understood Zhou Qi's concerns and said, "Su understands your concerns, don't worry. To deal with the Song family, we don't let you rush in front, but to provide some help at the appropriate time. Even if there is any danger, Su guarantees that your Majesty will

You will definitely not lose your life."

"What kind of virtue does the Song family have in Lingdong County? I think your Excellency knows better than me. Your Excellency has been an official in Lingdong County for many years, and I definitely don't want to be manipulated by the local wealthy families. If there is an opportunity in front of you."

"As the saying goes, wealth can be found in danger. If you want to achieve something, you can't take risks. Is it better to rely on others for the rest of your life, or to work hard and fight for your own world? Your Excellency, please consider carefully."

Zhou Qi's eyes flashed, and what Su Qi'an said came to his heart.

Zhou Qi's flashing eyes suddenly condensed, as if he had made some kind of decision, and he gritted his teeth.

"Since my uncle has said so, I am not a ungrateful person. I will obey my uncle's instructions for everything that follows."

Su Qian smiled and said, "Congratulations, sir, for making the right choice."

Zhou Qi nodded, hesitated for a while, and suddenly asked. "I would like to ask my uncle, it seems that the Song family has no grudges with my uncle. Even if it was for the county examination half a year ago, my uncle would not want to destroy it."

The Song family."

"The county examination half a year ago was just a minor conflict. Except for the Song family, they arrested someone. This person has something to do with me, and what he did was offensive. Naturally, he has to pay the price."

Su Qian'an said this in a calm and gentle manner, and could not feel the anger in the words at all.

But just such a calm voice sent chills down Zhou Qi's back.

He lamented that it was not good for the Song family to provoke anyone but Su Qi'an. At the same time, he was a little thankful that he did not have a grudge against Su Qi'an, otherwise...
