[Marriage first, love later] She is happy after marrying a widower

Chapter 132: The County Government Office is Besieged

In the Jiangling Palace, the seventy-six-year-old King Jiangling listened with a gloomy face as his subordinates reported the news of Lin'an City.

"Your Highness, news has come from Lin'an City that Yang Ge did not follow your instructions to release the floodwaters, and the person Your Highness sent to reprimand him has not returned yet."

The day before yesterday, he sent people to inform Yang Ge to release the flood. Yang Ge disobeyed his order and not only did not release the flood, but also relocated the people.

What's the point of those people who can't produce and only waste rice staying here at this time?

Yesterday, he sent his personal guards to reprimand Yang Ge. According to the normal schedule, those guards should have returned long ago, but they have not returned yet. It goes without saying that they must have been left behind by Yang Ge.

Five years ago, Yang Ge was recommended by the Minister of Works in the capital and came to Lin'an City to serve as a magistrate.

At that time, he handled cases very quickly, and Yang Ge found the murderers in many old cases that had been piled up in the government office.

He has always admired this capable young man. When County Magistrate Lin's son offended his granddaughter and the granddaughter wanted to kill County Magistrate Lin, he didn't think it was a big deal.

After County Magistrate Lin died, he thought of Yang Ge's work ability, so he let him take over the position of County Magistrate of Lin'an City. Now it seems that he has raised a tiger.

"Send another person to dismiss Yang Ge from his post as county magistrate for disobeying his superiors. Send one of our men to replace him and tell him to release the floodwaters at midnight tonight to save Lin'an City."

Prince Jiangling took a sip of tea, suppressed the anger on his face, and then spoke.

The official quickly retreated and gave orders to get the matter done.

After Yang Ge ordered the execution of several men in black, he did not take the matter to heart. In his opinion, King Jiangling was just too idle to interfere in the affairs of their Lin'an City.

Just as he was about to go out and continue his work of controlling the flood, he saw a servant running in from outside in a panic.

"Sir, the guards of the Jiangling Palace have surrounded our palace."

Yang Ge snorted coldly. It turned out that he was old and most afraid of death. In order to prevent Jiangling City from being flooded, he directly ignored the lives of tens of thousands of people.

Now they want to surround him, the county magistrate. This King of Jiangling really doesn't want the throne of a prince anymore.

There is chaos everywhere now. Does he feel that he has pushed Bu too far and no one will rebel against him?

"Calm down. I'm here, why are you panicking? Go get Moyan and Moyu."

Yang Ge scolded the yamen runner lightly, saying that Moyan Moyu, as his personal guard, had been very busy these days and was often not by his side.

"Master Yang, I'm afraid your guards won't be able to arrive in time."

At this moment, a group of people came in from outside the door and strode into Yang Ge's room.

"Fang Jin, what do you mean by that?"

Yang Ge looked at the man who came. He was tall and thin, with a goatee, squinting eyes, and no flesh on his cheeks. He looked like a villain.

This person is Fang Jin, one of the eight counselors around King Jiangling.

It seems that he really angered King Jiangling, and King Jiangling really wanted to get rid of him.

You must know that Fang Jin is the most vicious and cruel among the eight counselors of King Jiangling. Now that Moyu and Moyan are gone, I am afraid that I will be in great danger if I fall into his hands.

But he was not afraid. As a man of the Yang family, he had done his duty to the heavens and the people. Even if he died, it didn't matter.

"What do you mean? Of course I want you to die.

Yang Ge, as the magistrate of Lin'an City, refused to obey the discipline of his superiors and disregarded the safety of the people, causing Lin'an City to fall into dire straits.

Yang Ge is now dismissed from his post as magistrate of Lin'an City and is imprisoned."

Fang Jin took out the memorial in his hand and issued the order to deal with Yang Ge.

Lord Yang is in jail.

The siege of the county government office was no secret, and Song Yanzhi and Han Heming soon found out about it.

The couple soon received the news that Lord Yang was imprisoned.

Both of them felt a pang of fear in their hearts.

The situation in Lin'an City is special now. In the past few days, Yang Ge has been the one who stabilizes the people's hearts. If Yang Ge is imprisoned and the news of Lin'an City's temporary replacement of the county magistrate spreads, it will definitely cause unrest in the city.

Logically speaking, at this time, the people in power are most afraid of chaos below, and they should not treat an official who can stabilize the people's hearts in this way.

Unless he doesn't want this city, he would hope that the place he abandoned would become chaotic.

Prince Jiangling no longer wants Lin'an City?

As long as the county magistrate of Lin'an City was replaced and civil unrest occurred, as the prince of this fiefdom, he had the power to dispose of any city, but he did not have the power to deprive others of their right to survive.

"Yang Ge cannot be imprisoned, and Lin'an City cannot be in chaos."

Song Yanzhi looked at Han Heming firmly.

Han Heming remained expressionless, but anger was already boiling in his heart.

"It's natural."

The two looked at each other, and the time had come for what they had been thinking for a long time.

"Xiao Hu, how many people did King Jiangling send here?"

Song Yanzhi called Han Heming's guard in and asked him about the affairs of the yamen.

"Madam, the King of Jiangling has sent about a hundred men."

Xiaohu replied respectfully.

The news of Yang Ge's arrest suddenly spread throughout Lin'an City.

Everyone heard that the reason why King Jiangling sent people to imprison Yang Ge was because Yang Ge did not listen to King Jiangling and did not release the flood in time, drowning them, so they immediately refused to do it.

Those who had heard about it gathered in groups of two or three to gather at the gate of the county government office and demand that the person be released.

After Fang Jin put Yang Ge in prison, he sat leisurely in the county government office drinking tea. The prince said that he would be the county magistrate of Lin'an City in the future.

He followed the prince for decades, and finally got a position as an adviser to the prince. Although the position was not high, Lin'an City was rich, and as long as he gave a hint or two, money would flow to him.

Then, he will be the second Lin County Magistrate and the local emperor of Lin'an City.

This made him very proud, and he had already sent people down to release the flood on time at midnight tonight.

"My Lord, the county magistrate is in trouble. It's not good."

Just when Fang Jin was feeling proud, a yamen runner ran in in a panic from outside the door.

"When did you get so flustered? How can this be so disgraceful?"

Fang Jin flicked his sleeves and looked at the yamen runner who ran in. He had been following the prince with his head bowed and scraped all his life. Now he straightened his waist, sat upright, and showed his official majesty.

"Our government office has been surrounded by the people."

"It's not a big deal. Can't we just drive them away?"

Fang Jin didn't care at all. How could those people dare to be enemies of the government?

Although he knew that a boat could carry him but could also capsize him, after having been with Prince Jiangling for so long, he no longer understood the sufferings of the world.

"We can't get rid of them. There are just too many people."

The yamen runners were already sweating with panic. In a little while, the people might rush into the government office.

"Take two people with you and kill the leaders. Let's see if they dare to cause trouble in front of the government office again."
