Chapter 1741 Angry
"That's right!", "Lord Shao has always valued Lord Zhou Cheng, so of course he would not disapprove!", "Some people are so frivolous that they don't even know who they are, haha!", "Can't you see that? Lord Zhou Cheng is back, and some people are feeling uncomfortable!", "Haha, I think so too!"
Jia Heming's face flushed. "What happened in the past is in the past. The current prefect is Lord Shao. We should do whatever Lord Shao says. Is there any problem with that?"
"Of course there is no problem with that," Guanzhou Cheng said slowly, "We will naturally listen to Lord Shao, but we don't have to be too rigid about everything, don't you think? It's enough to follow the general rules. We are all family. Who are you targeting and what are you thinking by being so serious?"
"I have no selfish motives! I just—"
"Since there is nothing, then why don't we just keep things peaceful? As the governor of the state, what's wrong with me looking at an account book? What Old Hu said is right, and I dare to say this. I will tell Lord Shao, can Lord Shao not let me see it? It's just a matter of a word. It's not wrong to say that you are taking chicken feathers as a token of authority!"
Several people around Guanzhou Cheng burst into laughter.
Jia Heming, Fang Shuli and others looked at each other in dismay, all of them were annoyed.
But Lord Shao didn't come at this moment, and it would be inappropriate to go to Lord Shao specifically for such a small matter that would cause a real argument but is not a big deal at all. That would seem like making a fuss out of nothing.
Guan Zhoucheng was very proud, and Hu Shuli felt that he was right. He glared at Fang Shuli and said angrily, "What are you doing standing there? Hurry up and bring the account book to the Zhoucheng! What? Can't the Zhoucheng control you?"
Clerk Fang gritted his teeth and said, "Please forgive me, Lord Mayor. Lord Shao has given me instructions before, and I dare not disobey. Please don't make things difficult for me! Lord Mayor, please bring Lord Shao's instructions, and I will immediately hand over the account book to you with both hands!"
"You bastard, you are so stubborn!"
In front of almost everyone, Guanzhou Cheng was furious, and felt a little trapped. He pushed Fang Shuli away with force and ordered his confidant to snatch the key, open the door and get the account book.
Isn't it just an account book? He just took a look at it, can he really read it all? Can Lord Shao still argue with him about this?
If he doesn't fight back in front of so many people today, any Tom, Dick and Harry in this yamen will dare to ride on his neck and act recklessly. What will happen then?
Then what prestige does he have!
Fang Shuli, Jia Heming and others were very anxious and tried to stop them, but they were small and weak and were no match for Guanzhou Cheng and his gang.
Guanzhou Cheng and his gang have been tyrannical over the years. They form a group and almost control the entire provincial government. Even the prefect can do nothing about them.
If there are any benefits, they always take the biggest share first and let others share the rest.
However, when the new prefect came, he didn't fall for their tricks at all. Guanzhou Cheng was able to make some trouble. As soon as he arrived, he gave Lord Shao a big show of power in an attempt to control him. Unexpectedly, he was divided and dealt with by Lord Shao.
The governor of Guanzhou simply claimed to be sick and recuperating, and stopped caring about anything.
However, Lord Shao never begged him at all.
Now, it’s obvious that their group of people can’t get any extra benefits, so how can they not be angry?
