Even though Bao Zhedong was slow to change his power, he gradually realized that although he had the name of a county magistrate, he did not have the reality of a county magistrate. This was very common throughout the Ming Dynasty, and the power of county-level administrative and judicial organs was divided up by officials, but this does not mean that the parents and officials would let themselves be undermined.

In the past two years, Bao Zhedong's performance has been excellent. After all, under Lin Chunhong's governance, Zhijiang never arrears of money and grain, commercial taxes have increased several times, and various criminal cases have been significantly reduced. In theory, Bao Zhedong should be satisfied with this. He has been an official in Zhijiang for two years and has been one year. With his performance of excellent every year, he will work hard to get promoted.

However, Bao Zhedong was born as a Jinshi, and his pride in the list of titles could not tolerate Lin Chunhong's reckless behavior. Besides, Lin Chunhong's authority is growing more and more powerful, and out of self-protection, Bao Zhedong also has to fight back. What's more, in the past year, a group of gentry have been visiting each other, saying that Lin Chunhong is arrogant and domineering and oppressing good people, asking the county master to make the decision, and clearly stated that once the county master advocates justice for the people, he will definitely work hard.

Bao Zhedong felt that he had a great momentum and occupied the commanding heights of morality, so he made up his mind to compete with Lin Chunhong.

Of course, Bao Zhedong was able to pass the Jinshi and did things well. He first invited the boss Bo Tan Jiexi, the chief constable Shi Chao, and the prisoner He Miao to discuss together, hoping to form a united front in the county government first to fight against Lin Chunhong.

After Tan Jiexi and the other two arrived, Bao Zhedong looked worried and sighed: "In previous years, with the careful care of the three, the government office was honest and honest, and was deeply loved by the people. The three mansions were crowded with people. Alas, now, it can be said that the saddles and horses are deserted in front of the door... Alas, it is worse than one year, this world! Alas..."

Tan Jiexi and the other two looked at each other, their hearts were as stormy as waves. These three were all human beings. As soon as Bao Zhedong took off his pants, he knew what he was going to fart. Bao Zhedong wanted to deal with Lin Chunhong?

The three of them didn't say anything, and they all looked at Bao Zhedong with a look of surprise and doubt, just as they almost wrote the words "Carry forward and get the fire, I'll do it" on their face.

Bao Zhedong couldn't help feeling angry. He finally suppressed the nameless fire and looked at Tan Jiexi, and said in a straightforward manner: "Mr. Tan is highly respected and deeply supported by local villagers. He usually walks with his fellow villagers quite frequently. But this year, these fellow villagers were bewitched by the tyrant Zheng Tiancheng, which made it difficult for Mr. Tan to be independent in terms of money and food?"

Lin Chunhong gradually embezzled the villagers and Li Jia's right to collect money and grain greatly reduced the chances of Tan Jiexi's attack. Bao Zhedong saw it and hoped to arouse Tan Jiexi's shared hatred and hostility.

Tan Jiexi's eyelids twitched and thought to himself: Bao Zhedong clearly wanted me to deal with Lin Chunhong, but he couldn't agree to him. Lin Chunhong was not easy to mess with, so what's the matter with less money? At worst, I could change to an official in another place and could not hold my head and fight with Lin Chunhong for life.

Tan Jiexi called out and said, "I have not collected less money and food, so I am happy and relaxed. Alas, I am older and have less energy than before. I can spend less time thinking, of course I can't get it."

Tan Jiexi clearly rejected Bao Zhedong's request, which made Bao Zhedong very disappointed. He looked at Tan Jiexi with a steady look, and said to Shi Chao and He Miao: "The arrest, the prison administration is the power of the court, and it cannot be allowed to transcend villains. If the Censorate Office pursued the investigation, the two of them may not be able to escape the crime of indulgence and protection. I wonder what do you think?"

After Bao Zhedong finished speaking, he pointed to the text on the table. The words sent to the "Hubei Censorate Office" were clearly visible. Shi Chao and He Miao were local snakes in Zhijiang. After the archers entered the countryside, their power was squeezed and broken. They had long been dissatisfied with Lin Chunhong. In addition, Bao Zhedong's coercion and temptation, he did not have any objection. He said confidently: "The laws of the court cannot be trampled on. We should argue with reason, and at least we will be in a turbulent world in Zhijiang."

Bao Zhedong was quite satisfied with Shi Chao and He Miao's attitude, so he immediately summoned a group of gentry and decided on a plan to deal with Lin Chunhong.

Anything cannot be kept confidential as long as there are more people involved in the planning. Bao Zhedong's abnormal movements were quickly learned by Lin Chunhong.

"Bao Zhedong's strategy is pretty good. He firmly grasped the fact that we invaded the county government's criminal right. He not only ordered the gentry and Li Jia to collect evidence, but also won Shi Chao and He Miao as minions. He personally wrote a letter to the Censorate, exclaiming, well, good, good, three-pronged approach!"

Lin Chunhong received Wang Yi's report and did not hide his ridicule of Bao Zhedong. He continued to say to Zhou Wang and Wang Yi: "Bao Zhedong has been steady, accurate and ruthless, trying to use the right to punish the imperial court to stimulate the nerves. We cannot neglect this. At least we should settle the problem in the Hubei Censorate. Otherwise, once the trouble comes to the capital, the situation will not be controlled. The situation in the court is in chaos, and no one knows what will happen."

Zhou Wang nodded and said yes, while Wang Yi bowed his head and obeyed, like a gourd that kept his mouth shut. In front of Lin Chunhong and Zhou Wang, there was no place for Wang Yi to speak, just obey the order.

Sure enough, Lin Chunhong ordered: "Wang Yi, you must keep these local tyrants and evil gentry close these days. What evidence have they collected and report it immediately!"

Wang Yi took the order and only Zhou Wang was left. Zhou Wang showed concern and said, "How can the Censorate Office settle the situation? It's hard for us to join the line!"

Lin Chunhong smiled and said, "This depends on the sir. The staff in the world are family. I believe that there is no money to settle things!"

The strong confidence showed through his words, which calmed Zhou Wang's mood slightly. Zhou Wang continued: "Things in the officialdom have always been changing, so we must be fully prepared."

Lin Chunhong took out a thick stack of paper, which was covered with fly-headed small calligraphy, and said to Zhou Wang: "We still have this, all of them are greedy and illegal affairs in Jingzhou Prefecture, Yiling Prefecture, and Zhijiang County. If the inspector wants to take action against us, we will find a way to get this material straight to the sky and try to muddle the water. There are so many big fish here, so how can the court take care of us little people?"

Zhou Wang was secretly shocked and thought: When this material is shining, I am afraid that the censors will not care about themselves. How can they still have the skills to pay attention to Bao Zhedong? Lin Chunhong is young and has a deeper knowledge than Zhang Daohan. Where did he learn this skill?

Lin Chunhong didn't know Zhou Wang's thoughts and said to himself: "This matter cannot be cheaper than Bao Zhedong. We have to get some benefits..."

※※※

Bao Zhedong never expected that it would be so difficult to collect strong evidence!

Under the oil lamp, his eyes were red and he looked up the so-called evidence sent by the gentry one by one. The more he looked, the more disappointed he became. The more he looked, the more he became more and more popular. After seeing the "good citizen" Cai A-san in Caihu Village was beaten to death by an angry villager, he could no longer help but overturned all the evidence to the ground and shouted loudly: "What bullshit evidence? If I want to use this thing, I must be played to death!"

Bao Zhedong felt a deep sense of powerlessness. He felt that there was an invisible net that kept him tightly. If he didn't play according to Lin Chunhong's way of playing, he would have to be strangled to death!

On weekdays, Bao Zhedong often heard that Lin Chunhong's minions were doing what they did in the village, beating people to death from time to time and soaking pig cages, and all kinds of methods were outrageous. The reason why he endured to this day was that he was waiting for this opportunity, looking forward to overturning Lin Chunhong.

Unexpectedly, some words appeared from time to time in the evidence collected by these gentry: "The villagers were angry and beat him to death", "The villagers were furious and tied him to stones and threw him into the middle of the river"...

"Damn it, are all troublemakers under my rule?" Bao Zhedong became more and more angry as he thought about it, and cursed loudly.

Bao Zhedong completely expected that after the evidence arrived at the Censorate, the charge of poor education was confirmed. Not to mention promotion, even if it was demoted to the people, it would be a lighter punishment.

However, Bao Zhedong had no way to go, so he promised the gentry to submit a memorial to the Censorate and repent for no reason, and would definitely offend these gentry. Bao Zhedong didn't need to think about it, and he would probably not even be able to give his orders by then.

Bao Zhedong was afraid and thought about it. He didn't use any evidence collected by these gentry. He said in the memorial that Lin Chunhong was strong and Latin was working for him, and the public was extremely angry.

What Bao Zhedong said is also true. After all, many gangsters were not killed until they were killed, and were thrown into Bailizhou to serve hard labor. These were not signed by him at all.

The failure of Yin is getting stronger and stronger. Bao Zhedong is very clear that with these unpainable evidence, Lin Chunhong cannot be defeated at all. Now he can only pin his hopes on Lin Chunhong's unaware of this matter, maintain the status quo, and be transferred to the house.

Wang Yi was very efficient. Lin Chunhong was very clear about Bao Zhedong's every move. The bribery of one thousand taels of silver had an effect. In less than a few days, the Censorate Office rebuked Bao Zhedong's writings to arrive in Zhijiang. He said, "The minor evil people will be decided by the clerks. The officials should unite in good faith...

Following the pace of writing, Lin Chunhong came to the second hall of the county government, which is where Bao Zhedong works on weekdays. Lin Chunhong smiled and held a large number of case files in his arms.

"Mr. Bao promoted the Xiaguan and pointed out some of the negligences of the Xiaguan. The Xiaguan was very grateful. To express his gratitude, I hope to accept some gifts with a smile!"

After saying that, Lin Chunhong put the case file on Bao Zhedong's desk, sat aside loudly, and looked at Bao Zhedong with a smile.

Bao Zhedong's face turned white and white. He trembled with his hands and took a case file. Looking at it, his face changed drastically. He suddenly stood up and pointed at Lin Chunhong and said furiously: "Lin Dianshi is too bullying!"

These case files are the case files of local gangsters. They have all the evidence and physical evidence, so they are separated from the county magistrate's seal. Lin Chunhong brought these case files with a clear intention, which was to force Bao Zhedong to sign and use seals.

Lin Chunhong stood up slowly and smiled and said, "Mr. Bao has said it is really inappropriate in his daily work. Master Bao is broad-minded and pointed out the fault of his official official. This is also considered to be a repair for the failure of his official official."

Bao Zhedong understood Lin Chunhong's words: As long as you use the seal, you will write off the previous holidays. If you want to continue to make trouble in the future, set the current account and settle the account together!

Bao Zhedong was willing to agree to Lin Chunhong's conditions, but his self-esteem made it difficult for him to accept this fact and he pondered himself.

Lin Chunhong ignored Bao Zhedong's feelings and continued: "There are local tyrants and evil gentry in the countryside, fish and meat, and plundering people's wealth and ointment. The public is extremely angry. I have to ask Lord Bao to take charge of this matter."

"You..." Bao Zhedong was working with the squire to fight against Lin Chunhong. Now Lin Chunhong asked him to deal with these squires. Of course he couldn't stand it. The anger that had been suppressing was rising. He was about to start scolding, but was interrupted by Lin Chunhong.

"Mr. Bao, don't be anxious first. Please listen to the officials finish their words. Bailizhou will hold the opening ceremony of the river embankment next month. At that time, Mr. Bao will also like to give him a face and cut the ribbon. In addition, Mr. Bao considering that Mr. Bao is honest and has a hard life, he will transfer some shares of Yiling Warehousing. He also hopes that Mr. Bao will not refuse."

This is quite obvious. If Bao Zhedong agrees to deal with the local tyrants and evil gentry, Lin Chunhong will give him the political achievements of building the river embankment and transfer the shares of the jealous warehouse!

Bao Zhedong's heartbeat became more and more violent. Finally, he lowered his noble head and said gritting his teeth: "Take the case file and I will sign it and seal it!"
