Feng Yuan's words were so powerful that even Song Chi was shocked.
This gentleman has such a strong sense of justice. He must have met a noble person.
Seeing this, Bai Yong's face turned gloomy. He didn't expect that the new magistrate would be so difficult to deal with.
"Let's go and find the Prime Minister now and let him make the judgment." Feng Yuan urged again.
Bai Yong said impatiently, "The county exam is still going on. How can we leave, both you and I being the chief examiners?... Besides, perhaps even better essays will emerge after the exam is over."
Feng Yuan said to Song Chi again, "Don't leave in a hurry. Just wait here until the county exam is over."
He knew some of the situation in advance and also knew why Bai Yong targeted this young man so much. As the county magistrate and the chief examiner, he suppressed the candidates for his own selfish reasons. It would have been fine if he didn't see it, but since he saw it, he would never allow such a thing to happen.
Letting Song Chi stay means that he will never give in.
"It's all up to you, my Lord."
Song Chi bowed his body and lowered his voice deliberately, pretending to be timid and wronged.
Bai Yong looked grim, and his hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists. He knew that Feng Yuan was the second-in-command's man, so his attitude was so tough. No matter what he said, it would be useless.
This kid is really lucky. There is always someone to protect him at every critical moment.
"County Magistrate Bai, I know you're in a difficult situation, so I suggested letting the Prime Minister make the decision. This way, it has nothing to do with you. Don't you understand?"
From what he said, it seemed that County Magistrate Feng knew the whole story and was well prepared. Who told him these things?
Song Chi was thinking, and his brows soon relaxed.
It's really different after sleeping with each other. It seems that Liang Qingwu is not that bad.
Apart from the female commander, he couldn't think of anyone else.
Bai Yong's face flashed with confusion, and then he replied, "That's the only way."
This guy's writing is really good, and Feng Yuan is the successor to the county magistrate, so he has done his best.
"Come with me, the Prime Minister is in the examination hall." Feng Yong was shocked by Bai Yong's words.
Song Chi was slightly startled and looked towards the east side of the examination hall. There was a courtyard there, which was a residence for examiners to rest and mark papers.
Song Chi had guessed this before. He noticed that Bai Yong would look over there from time to time, and he also saw several officials walking back and forth in the yard.
Song Shiwen finally came, but he did not show up. Instead, he hid in the dark. Seeing Bai Yong's embarrassed look, he thought that Song Ming, who was respected as "Little Cabinet Master", must have come as well.
Then the purpose of this father and son can only be to laugh at themselves.
That's great. If you want to laugh at me, I'll slap you in the face.
"Come with me."
After Bai Yong instructed a few yamen runners to supervise the exam, he went straight to the east room.
"You follow too."
Feng Yuan also comforted him: "I believe that the Prime Minister will give you fairness."
These words clearly had a hidden meaning. Song Chi could tell that this Lord Feng was not a member of the "Wen Party", or the people behind him must be at odds with Song Shiwen.
This involves party struggles, but I am not exposed to them yet.
Song Chi still pretended to be a bullied young wife, which was in line with his identity.
When I entered the courtyard, I saw someone guarding it. He was dressed like an official, but his posture was different. It was obvious that he was a martial artist. He must be a guard from the capital.
Bai Yong bowed to a leader-like figure and said, "Excuse me, I want to see the Prime Minister."
"Wait."
But after a moment he came out and said, "Go in."
"You wait outside." Bai Yong stopped Song Chi.
"He is the candidate who wrote this article. Why can't he meet the Prime Minister?" Feng Yuan looked like a rough man. Without waiting for Bai Yong to respond, he pulled Song Chi into the room.
"you......"
He was able to become the magistrate of Ji County, and he was not Song Shiwen's man. He must have a powerful backer behind him. It is true that he was protecting himself, but it is hard to guarantee that he was not taking advantage of the situation to have other purposes.
Anyone else would have been filled with gratitude and would have wanted to risk their life for him, but how could I, having lived two lives as a human being, be easily moved? The Song Pond was as calm as a still pond.
The three of them entered the room. Song Shiwen sat upright drinking tea, and Song Ming sat next to him.
Seeing Song Chi following behind, Song Ming's eyes flashed with joy, but he did not say anything. He knew that Bai Yong had accomplished the task.
This was also his arrangement. As long as Song Chi was caught cheating, he would be brought here directly. His father hated people who cheated the most, so he did not tell his father about Bai Yong's false accusation.
Bai Yong would not tell anyone about this either. The Prime Minister shouldn't know about these "dirty things."
Song Ming pretended to be calm, secretly happy in his heart. As long as his father knew that Song Chi had "cheated", then the talents he showed at the female general's homecoming banquet would all be fake.
At this time, Feng Yuan stepped forward quickly, lifted his official robe, bowed and said, "The new magistrate of Ji County, Feng Yuan, greets the Prime Minister."
Song Shiwen's eyes flashed with surprise, "You should still be in the state government office at this time, how come you are already here?"
"The deadline stated in the red edict issued by the state government is today. If I don't come, it will be considered as a delay in taking office, and I may be held responsible." Feng Yuan took out the official certificate and the red edict from his sleeve and handed them over.
Song Shiwen picked it up and looked through it without saying a word. Although his expression did not change, several people felt depressed. Song Chi noticed something wrong again. It was obvious that Song Shiwen knew in advance that Feng Yuan would take office and also had control over the deadline of his term.
According to the procedure, the appointment of the county magistrate is decided by the provincial government, that is, the provincial governor has the final say. I remember Shen Liangcai once said that the main officials of the entire Jiangzhou are all from the "Wen Party", and the provincial governor is no exception.
But his people issued a red decree to let Feng Yuan take up the post ahead of time. Not only was Bai Yong caught off guard, but he was also quite surprised.
