Traveling through the Qin Dynasty, I seized the throne of Ying Zheng's father

Chapter 261 Pleading for Mercy

Lord Zhou left with a furrowed brow.

After everyone left, General Chen hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

General Chen thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, I think you are putting too much psychological pressure on Lord Zhou. He can guarantee that he will not do such a thing, but it is difficult to guarantee that his subordinates will not do it."

"Although he is the county magistrate, it doesn't mean that everyone in Ivory is of one mind with him. In fact, quite a few people probably want to oppose him. He can only control himself."

“I think that once this kind of thing is discovered, a severe punishment is enough. It shouldn’t implicate Lord Zhou. He has done his best in his work. I’ve seen what he’s done recently, and he has saved a lot of people.”

General Chen pleaded for Lord Zhou.

Fusu raised an eyebrow and looked at General Chen.

Could it be that these two people know each other?

However, Fusu felt that given General Chen's character, he would not bend the law for personal gain in order to protect his friend.

It is obvious that General Chen is a very upright person who does not know how to be flexible.

Once he understood this, Fusu realized it.

General Chen probably felt that he had been too harsh on Lord Zhou.

He was too harsh, so he blamed all the mistakes made by his subordinates on Lord Zhou.

But Fusu felt that he was not the kind of person who was demanding.

He simply said that if the person was found out, they would be severely punished.

People from Yancheng who got involved.

As long as Lord Zhou wasn't involved, how could he possibly attack Lord Zhou?

Besides, Fusu isn't blind. Lord Zhou did indeed do a very good job.

If it had been an incompetent magistrate, far more people would have died this time.

However, just because he did well doesn't mean that Fusu didn't give him a single word of criticism.

Lord Zhou has been operating here for so long, he must have people under his command.

So if someone embezzled, Lord Zhou would definitely be the first to know, even more informed than Fusu.

Fusu wanted Lord Zhou; once he learned the news, he had to tell him, regardless of who the other party was.

This is what Fusu wants.

That's why I gave Lord Zhou a warning.

Lord Zhou is serving as the county magistrate here, and he will continue to serve as the county magistrate here after this matter is over. He may be thinking about some people he cannot afford to offend.

If you can't offend him, then don't report him to Fusu.

Fusu was new, so he did not believe that he was better informed than Lord Zhou.

He would then inevitably want to use Lord Zhou's connections for his own benefit.

As for the sugar and cigarettes that Lord Zhou was worried about, he didn't take them to heart at all.

If Lord Zhou does a good job this time but has indeed offended too many people, he will find a way to transfer Lord Zhou away from here.

Once he leaves this place, the people he offended won't be able to cause him any more trouble.

That's why Fusu needed Lord Zhou to supervise him from his side.

Instead of Fusu doing this alone.

Therefore, Fusu naturally wanted to give Lord Zhou a warning.

But to his surprise, General Chen thought his behavior was a bit too much.

General Chen probably felt that Lord Zhou had already done more than enough and shouldn't be treated this way.

However, people with different identities and positions will have different perspectives on issues.

Fusu felt he needed Lord Zhou's help, so wasn't it normal for him to give him a warning?

They felt no remorse towards Lord Zhou.

This is the way of officialdom! Fusu has more power than Lord Zhou, so naturally he can easily defeat him.

Therefore, Fusu did not think there was anything wrong with this.

However, this was considered excessive by Zhou Da's people.

I always felt that Fusu was deliberately making things difficult for Lord Zhou.

General Chen naturally spoke out against the injustice done to Lord Zhou.
