Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 190 Thunderous!

Su Yun looked at Li Qingchen in surprise.

Li Qingchen said sincerely, "Listen to me. I am your uncle's friend and will not harm you."

Su Yun's face suddenly turned dull.

This Li Qingchen... Su Yun felt so angry that he didn't know where to start.

Today was the Nan Ya meeting, and all the top brass had gathered. As soon as Li Qingchen came up, he acted as if he were the elder.

This is a public place. Su Yun is the Tongpan and is in charge of supervising Li Qingchen. However, Li Qingchen regards himself as the elder. What does this mean?
The meaning is to tell all other senior officials: I am the elder of this Tongpan, he cannot supervise me. Although he is not my subordinate, he is my nephew, so if you think you can use him to restrain me, you are overthinking.

As soon as these words came out, He Ruining, Du Wuwang and others were immediately delighted, because they knew that Su Yun would definitely be dissatisfied and would probably be jealous of Li Qingchen and even fight back on the spot, so they were looking forward to it.

But they were soon disappointed because Su Yun did not fight back against Li Qingchen, but took it over, giving Li Qingchen enough face.

What made Su Yun so furious that he had to fight back was that Li Qingchen said that it was the ancestral law for the Tongpan to inspect the warehouse, but the next moment he used this to force He Ruining and Du Wuwang to help manage the Huimin River.

Without any regard for Su Yun's own feelings, he rejected the warehouse inspection.

Su Yun: ...

No, Li Qingchen, you really take yourself too seriously!
If Su Yun does not fight back in this matter, his prestige will be completely lost in the future, and no one in the Southern Court will take him seriously.

If this gets out, then Su Yun's reputation as a soft-hearted person who can be bullied will be enough to ruin his future!
Which superior, or even the government, would employ a person who has no opinion of his own, who is bullied and shit on by others, and who still smiles and dares not fight back?

Su Yun had to fight back.

So Su Yun spoke up immediately, but Li Qingchen still used his status as an elder to stop him from speaking. Su Yun immediately asked Li Qingchen to address him by his title, which was to tell Li Qingchen that when speaking in public, you should be fair and don't really regard yourself as an elder.

Su Yun then proposed that the management of the Huimin River and the inspection of the warehouse could be carried out at the same time, and he planned to take back the financial power by managing the Huimin River.

It’s not that Su Yun is very ambitious, it’s mainly because he can see it.

Li Qingchen must have mentioned the issue of cleaning up the Huimin River many times before, but was always rejected by the Left and Right Offices. But this time, when Li Qingchen threatened to inspect the warehouse, the Left and Right Offices immediately expressed their full cooperation. What does this mean?
It means that the left and right halls are fucking rotten!
I have just started working. If I don't deal with this matter quickly now, then after I have been working for a long time, these messes will be blamed on me!
If something goes wrong and someone comes to investigate, Su Yun will tell them: I don’t know, I didn’t do any of that!

At this time, the prosecutor would tell Su Yun: During the reign of Emperor Taizong, it was stipulated that the prefects of various states and the financial officials must personally review the official property listed in the accounts upon taking office, and they are not allowed to simply rely on the documents approved by the chief clerk.

Since you don't investigate, then you have admitted it. If you admit it, then it is your fault!
Well, then you won’t just be watching other people’s fun, you’ll become a part of it too.

And this Li Qingchen was coaxing like a child:
[President Su, you are still young and don't know how difficult this matter is. Listen to me, after this matter is completed, you can investigate however you want. What do you think?]

[Listen to me, I am your uncle's friend and I will not harm you!]

Su Yun: ???
No, big brother, do you think you are playing a game and treating other people as NPCs. You only need to complete your own tasks, and as for other people's psychological feelings and interests, they don't exist?
Thinking of this, Su Yun shook his head and said, "Prefect Li, our ancestors' laws are in place, so I have no choice but to do this.

However, I support you in managing the Huimin River. You can go ahead and do it. I will take care of the financial and human resources."

Li Qingchen frowned and asked, "Are you sure you can do it?"

Su Yun glanced at Li Qingchen and said, "Not sure, then will Magistrate Li still manage the Huimin River?"

Li Qingchen stared at Su Yun for a while and said, "Can I..."

"No!" Su Yun shook his head, "Either trust me or don't do it. I won't promise you anything, and I don't have to promise you anything."

Li Qingchen was a little angry, but he had nothing to say. Su Yun was the Tongpan, not his subordinate, and he really had no way to force others to issue any military order.

Li Qingchen turned around and left the hall.

At this moment, He Ruining and Du Wuwang became anxious and hurried to chase Li Qingchen.

Su Yun also stood up and went back to the Tongpan Hall.

Deng Qi then went to the Tongpan Hall.

Su Yun stared at Deng Qi and asked, "Do you want to be a judge?"

Deng Qi's eyes sparkled with sparks, and he said, "You mean to dismiss the judges of the left and right halls and let me take over?"

Su Yun nodded and said, "The left and right halls have blocked everything. If I don't deal with it, I will not be able to escape unscathed. However, I don't have any roots in the Southern Court now. It's not that easy to check their accounts."

Deng Qi chuckled and said, "You are joking. The Six Caos are your foundation! Jianzhou, please tell me what to do. I have been loyal to you until now, but I have not had the opportunity to show my loyalty to you!"

Su Yun nodded and said, "Well, can you transfer the Nan Ya Yamen?"

Deng Qi nodded and said, "I am the recorder and military officer, the head of all the officials. I have been in charge of the six departments for many years, and all the officials are on good terms with me. Therefore, as long as you, the governor, give the order, the yamen runners can be transferred naturally."

Su Yun asked, "What if the prefect orders the yamen runners to withdraw?"

Deng Qi gritted his teeth and said, "If you, the prefect of Jianzhou, were inspecting the storehouse, this would be an aboveboard act. I would definitely cooperate with you first, and then let the yamen runners leave after the inspection is complete."

Su Yun nodded and said, "This matter is very critical. I want to check the accounts. The left and right halls will definitely not sit still and wait for death, so we must use force to block it to avoid some unexpected events, such as the fire in the warehouse account book."

Deng Qi's expression tensed up, and he said, "Jianzhou, there is no time to lose, we need to seal the warehouse and account books immediately!"

Su Yun nodded and said, "Go ahead. Also, let Hu Cao Canjun bring a group of accountants with him. Can Hu Cao Canjun trust him?"

Deng Qi nodded and said, "I can believe it! I pushed him up there."

Su Yun nodded and said, "Yes, control the accounting office, control the account books, control all the clerks in the left and right halls, and..."

Su Yun's face showed a trace of cruelty, "...Control all the judges and prosecutors in the left and right halls, and let them be investigated in the courtyard!"

Deng Qi's eyes widened in shock, "If we control them, this matter will become a big deal. If we can't find out anything, we'll all be finished!"

Su Yun turned to look at Deng Qi and asked, "Are their bottoms clean?"

Deng Qi immediately said, "Of course they are all rotten crotches!"

Su Yun nodded and said, "As long as there is a problem, we will definitely be able to find it out. Now is the time to act quickly and there is no time for fussing. Taking decisive measures at this time will make it easier to find out the problem. Go quickly!" Deng Qi stretched out his hand and slapped himself in the face, saying, "Just watch me!"

With that, he left in a flash.

Su Yun: “…”

No...why are you slapping yourself in the face?
He Ruining and Du Wuwang chased Li Qingchen to the detention center.

Li Qingchen looked at the two of them, his face not looking very good, and asked, "Why did you follow me?"

Du Wuwang said angrily: "Master, you have really caused us great harm this time!..."

He Ruining glared at Du Wuwang. Du Wuwang knew that he had said something wrong and quickly shut up.

He Ruining said quickly: "Your Excellency, managing the Huimin River is a major issue at the moment, and the left and right halls will fully support you!"

Li Qingchen shook his head and said, "It's too late to say this now. It's not something I can decide now. Anyone who dares to say anything about obstructing the Tongpan's inspection of the warehouse will die."

Du Wuwang was both scared and angry: If you hadn't used this matter to scare us, how could Su Yun have inspected the warehouse!
He Ruining stopped Du Wuwang with his eyes, and then said: "Your Excellency, this is just a matter of your words. Without us, it will be impossible for you to manage the Huimin River.

Also, please tell Judge Su Tong that if he insists on killing us, we will fight him to the death!"

Li Qingchen frowned.

That’s right, He Ruining was threatening him, but this threat was very effective.

He also felt that without the help of He Ruining and Du Wuwang, there was really no way to clean up the Huimin River.

As for what Su Yun said about taking over the affairs of Qiangu and helping to clean up the Huimin River, Li Qingchen did not quite believe it.

Su Yun is too young.

There is no way Su Yun could handle this old fox He Ruining.

Li Qingchen frowned and fell into deep thought.

Du Wuwang showed impatience, but He Ruining was as steady as a rock.

He Ruining naturally knew what Li Qingchen wanted to do. Li Qingchen wanted political achievements, and Huimin River was the most important link. Without political achievements, it would be impossible for Li Qingchen to make the leap from Kaifeng prefect to prime minister.

The Four Entrances are necessary conditions for becoming a prime minister, but the Four Entrances do not guarantee that one will be able to become a prime minister.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, there have been at least fifty or sixty prefects of Kaifeng, but less than one-third of them were able to make this leap. The most important thing is political achievements!
Li Qingchen wanted to achieve political achievements, but without the support of the Left and Right Offices, nothing could be accomplished.

So, it is Li Qingchen who needs them now. Of course, now that they have been forced into this point, they also need Li Qingchen.

After a while, Li Qingchen said slowly: "I will take care of this matter. You should be ready to help clean up the Huimin River. If you cause trouble for me at that time, you can't blame me."

There was a hint of joy in He Ruining's eyes, and he thought that the matter had finally taken a turn for the better.

Don’t think that Su Yun was so tough during the incident in the hall. That was because Su Yun had no way to retreat at that time. It was all because Li Qingchen was too aggressive.

But no matter what, Li Qingchen is the master of the Southern Yamen after all. If he is willing to take action, Su Yun may not dare to go against Li Qingchen and insist on checking the accounts.

Well, the accounts can be checked, but as long as we turn a blind eye, the matter will be over.

He Ruining was still a little worried and said, "Master, the account can be checked. As long as you relax a little, it will be good for you, me and everyone else."

Li Qingchen nodded and said, "At this point, we must investigate. Otherwise, Su Yun will definitely not agree. You go back and clean up the mess. Don't make it difficult for Su Yun."

He Ruining and Du Wuwang looked at each other and saw the relief in each other's eyes.

He Ruining and Li Qingchen bowed and said goodbye: "Okay, then we'll say goodbye..."

At this time, there were chaotic footsteps outside, and Li Qingchen heard his confidant shouting: "What are you doing? How dare you attack the detention center!..."

Li Qingchen frowned and walked out with big strides.

He Ruining and Du Wuwang looked at each other.

what's the situation?
They hurriedly followed him out, only to see the clerks in the hall confronting a group of yamen runners, led by the recorder Deng Qi.

Li Qingchen looked at Deng Qi with dignity and said, "Master Deng, you are leading people to attack the detention center. What are you doing? Don't you know that attacking the detention center is a serious crime?"

Deng Qi bowed to Li Qingchen and said, "Your Excellency has misunderstood. We are not here to attack the detention center. We are here on the orders of Magistrate Su Tong to invite Judge Du and Judge He to inspect the storehouse together."

Li Qingchen was immediately furious and said, "You can inspect the warehouse if you want. You brought the yamen runners here. Are you treating them as criminals? Who gave you the power?
Judge Du and Judge He are both appointed officials of the imperial court. Without official documents from the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice, how dare you detain officials appointed by the imperial court without permission!"

Deng Qi laughed and said, "Your Excellency, you really misunderstood. We are here to invite Judge Du and Judge He to inspect the warehouse together. There is no such thing as private seizure.

Your Excellency, this matter involves the money and grain affairs that Su Tongpan is in charge of. Please ignore this matter. You should not interfere in this matter, otherwise... Hehe."

Li Qingchen was furious and was about to scold Deng Qi, but he saw his confidant shaking his head at him, and he was immediately shocked.

Just as Deng Qi said, regardless of whether Su Yun's actions were legal or not, he really shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter.

The power of money and grain is the most important power granted to the Tongpan by the court. It is used to restrain the prefect. If he does not know the seriousness of the matter and gets involved, and the left and right halls really find out the problem, the censor will be in trouble: You are a prefect, and you forcibly obstruct the Tongpan from inspecting the warehouse. What is your intention?
Even if I had just arrived at Nan Ya and the things I had done had nothing to do with me, I would definitely be accused of being a scoundrel!

With such a bright future ahead of me, how could I get involved in something like this!
Thinking of this, Li Qingchen snorted coldly, then turned away and walked into the detention room.

Du Wuwang was very anxious and said, "Your Excellency! Your Excellency!"

He Ruining said: "Stop shouting. Things have come to this point. He doesn't dare to intervene. Let's think about how to deal with the current situation."

He Ruining turned to look at Deng Qi and said, "I'm a little surprised. Why did you get involved with Su Tongpan?"
