Chen Yongnian frowned slightly, his eyes filled with doubt.
At this moment, Qi Yang stood up, bowed to Chen Yongnian, and gestured for him to sit down before continuing the conversation.
Seeing Qi Yang's expression, Chen Yongnian and Wan Qiqi realized that something important had happened, so they immediately sat down.
Qi Yang took a sip of wine, sighed, and then said, "The county government is really in chaos now, with many people replaced."
"How so?" Wan Qiqi asked, tilting her head.
"Almost all the people Lord Fang used to rely on have been transferred to other positions. Head Constable Liang has been promoted to Instructor of the Military Affairs Department, a position above yours. And Li You has also been promoted to Instructor of the Rites Department..."
After Qi Yang finished speaking about the government transfer, he drank another cup of wine.
These things were not unexpected for Chen Yongnian and Wan Qiqi.
Xie Xing, having taken control of the government, would inevitably promote his own people to make his management easier.
Of course, you can't promote all your own people, otherwise it will attract gossip.
Li You and Chen Yongnian are at odds. Li You's promotion to the position of Jingcheng is likely to cause Chen Yongnian some trouble.
Wan Qiqi felt that Qi Yang hadn't finished speaking, so she asked, "Is there any other news?"
Qi Yang was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Wan Qiqi to ask such a question.
After a long pause, he said, "Yes, County Magistrate Pang has received a transfer order to serve as a prefectural judge in the border region."
Although Wan Qiqi didn't know much about official titles, one started with the county and the other with the prefecture, so it must be a promotion.
“The county magistrate is a ninth-rank official, and the prefectural judge is a seventh-rank official. Lord Pang, you’ve been promoted!” Chen Yongnian sighed.
Qi Yang nodded.
No one in the government expected that before they could even hear the news of Xie Xing's promotion to county magistrate, they would first hear of Pang Zhao's promotion to prefectural judge.
“If Lord Pang leaves, then Yunhe County will fall into Lord Xie’s hands!” Qi Yang sighed.
Wan Qiqi nodded in agreement.
A pot of cloudy wine, four people sip and chat.
One hour later.
Wan Qiqi and Chen Yongnian saw Qi Yang and Xiao Fan off.
The two exchanged a glance.
"My lady, I would like to invite Mr. Pang to dinner at the restaurant," Chen Yongnian said decisively, stating his intentions.
Wan Qiqi nodded, "That's exactly what I was thinking!"
If anyone wants to know what happened in between, Pang Zhao probably knows best!
Perhaps I will gain something else?
