On the dock, Yang Xiu got on the boat and bowed to Liu Jing at the bow of the boat, saying, "I will reply to the Prime Minister as soon as possible, and I believe I will return to Wuchang soon."

Liu Jing smiled and replied, "Thank you for your hard work, I hope to meet again."

The ship, Yang Xiu's figure gradually faded away. Liu Jing waved his hand and called Li Qing to the guards, took out a letter and handed it to him, and ordered: "Immediately use a pigeon letter to pass this letter to Xudu."

"Abide by the order"

Li Qing took the letter and arranged to send the message. Liu Jing then turned over and walked towards the city with his entourage. But just a few steps away, a noise came from a short distance. He faintly heard someone shouting: "Don't stop us, we want to see the governor of the state."

Liu Jing tied his war horse and looked into the distance. He saw a group of people running towards this side, but were stopped by the soldiers. They shouted loudly, waved their arms, and looked angry.

Liu Jing was surprised and urged him to come forward and ask, "What happened?"

"Qi Bingzhou Governor, these people say they want to sue"

Seeing that these people were dressed like businessmen, Liu Jing asked from afar: "Who are you all? What are you complaining?"

A group of people were about to rush over, but were stopped by their personal soldiers. Only one old man was allowed to come forward as a representative. The old man stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Qi Bingzhou Governor, we are all ship owners in Wuchang, and we rely on transportation of goods for the sake of our business, but in the past few months, everyone has been forced to death."

After the old man finished speaking, everyone behind him shouted, "We have no business in April, everyone is going to starve to death, please ask the provincial governor to take charge."

Liu Jing was a little surprised, "Why could it be that I was transporting cargo from Chibi to Wuchang some time ago, didn't I let the civilian ships participate?"

The old man kowtowed and said with tears in his eyes: "It's not our turn to do this kind of good thing. It's all taken care of by the Tao family. We dare not expect the official business. We just hope that the Tao family can give us a bite of food and don't just take everything."

Liu Jing understood a little, and then his face calmed down and asked, "How is the Tao family exclusive?"

"Report to the Zhoumao, this riverside wharf is an official wharf, either an official ship or a Tao family's ship. It's not our turn, but there is a commercial cargo wharf on the Caohe River. In the past, everyone could go in to transport goods, but starting this year, we can only get the Tao family ships into Caohe River during the day, and it's not our turn. We can only go in to transport some cargo at night and pick up some of the remaining residues from the Tao family.

However, in recent months, the government ordered that the cargo was strictly prohibited at night, so our business was cut off. We finally allowed to enter and exit the cargo at night a few days ago. However, the Tao family recently bought several ships and even occupied the waterway at night. We were completely finished and asked the provincial governor to make the decision for us."

Everyone kowtowed desperately, "I ask the governor of the state to give us a bite of food."

Liu Jing's face looked a little ugly. This was not the news he wanted to hear, nor was it the Tao family he wanted to see. He rushed towards Caohe with a urge.

Caohe in Wuchang County is located in the south of the city, about two miles long, and it leads directly to Shuitu. Usually, the Caohe River is full of civilian merchant ships, transporting various goods into the city, and transporting various goods from the city. It is busy and lively every day.

In recent months, Caoheno has been deserted for a while because of the war's closure of the river. However, with the end of the war and the recovery of business in recent days, Caoheno has become lively again.

Liu Jing still remembers that the Tao family's merchant ships were not many in Wuchang in the past, mainly in Chaisang and Fancheng, but since he took office in Wuchang, the Tao family's business began to expand to Wuchang County.

At this time, Caohe River was full of cargo ships of large and small, and almost all of them were covered with the Tao family's double carp signs. Liu Jing walked slowly for a mile, but never found a ship that was not the Tao family.

Liu Jing's face became very ugly. The Tao family originally supported him very much, but in return, he was willing to let the Tao family get more commercial benefits. There was no problem with this.

But he didn't want to see the Tao family's monopoly, just like any person in power who doesn't want to see the minister's family dominant. The same is true for business. Once the Tao family completely monopolized Jingzhou's business, many major decisions made, Liu Jing had to look at the Tao family's expression.

Zhiwei saw that from a small freight monopoly, you can imagine the future situation. This kind of thing cannot make it bigger. It must be hit by the Tao family, and it must be done as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing turned his head and headed towards the county town.

Although the size of Wuchang City is similar to that of Xiangyang City, Xiangyang's business is in Fancheng. Xiangyang City mainly consists of government affairs and education, and there is enough space to build a state yamen. Wuchang is a commercial military and political mix, which seems cramped.

It is also because of this that Jingzhou Prefecture Yamen and Jiangxia County County Yamen actually have two signs. Of course, this is related to the fact that Liu Jing's actual control is only Jiangxia, Changsha and Anlu County, so there is no need to set up a special prefecture class.

Liu Jing now needs to find Jiangxia County Magistrate Yi Ji. The power relationship here is a bit complicated. Since Liu Jing also serves as the governor of Jiangxia, the county magistrate should have the real power of Jiangxia County.

But in fact, this is not the case. The government power of Jiangxia County is actually in the hands of Liu Jing's aide Xu Shu. Only when Liu Jing moves the prefecture back to Xiangyang will Yi Ji get real power and be promoted to Jiangxia Shou.

Yiji himself knew this very well, so he did not complain. He lived leisurely every day and waited patiently for the moment of handing over power. This was also his cleverness.

Soon, Yiji hurried into Liu Jing's official room and bowed and said, "See the governor of the state."

"Please sit down"

Liu Jing looked at Yi Ji. He hadn't seen him for a few months. Seeing that he had gained a lot of weight, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Mr. Yi seems to be in good health."

Yiji smiled bitterly, "I would rather be dark and thin."

Liu Jing laughed, "This day will come soon. I just hope that the county magistrate will not complain at that time."

"I only expect, no complaints."

Liu Jing nodded and pondered for a moment, "I want to find the county magistrate, I want to know about the situation of County Commander Tao."

The county magistrate Tao was Tao Zheng, Liu Jing's uncle. Yi Ji was stunned. He didn't understand what Liu Jing meant, so he had to say vaguely: "The county magistrate Tao was very busy recently, and we didn't meet much."

Liu Jing smiled, "I asked County Magistrate Tao if there was anything wrong with it or something incompetent, Ji Bo said frankly."

"I'm afraid I don't know this."

Seeing that Yi Ji had concerns, Liu Jing comforted him and said, "Don't worry, don't have any worries. I just hope you can be frank and tell the truth. I just want to know what improper behaviors Tao County Magistrate has done, or what aspects he is not suitable to be a county Magistrate."

Yi Ji understood a little, and was afraid that Liu Jing was going to attack Tao Zheng and wanted to get news from him. Yi Ji lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "In some businessmen disputes, Tao County Wei was too partial to the interests of the Tao family. Many businessmen reported that he used his power to make profits for the family."

Liu Jing walked a few steps behind his back, and the charge of using power for personal gain was a bit serious. After all, the support of the Tao family made contributions to the final victory of the Battle of Chibi. He just wanted to hit the Tao family, not deliberately hit the Tao family.

Thinking of this, Liu Jing shook his head, "There is nothing wrong yet."

After all, Yiji has been an official for many years. He suddenly understood Liu Jing's intention and wanted to find a problem that was not painful. Yiji's eyes rolled and said, "I heard that County Magistrate Tao had a close relationship with a famous prostitute named Liu Yan."

Now, Liu Jing was very interested and asked with a smile: "Does there be many people who know about this?"

"I'm afraid there are not many people in Wuchang City who don't know about this."

Tao Zheng's incident is relatively vague. Since ancient times, officials and prostitutes have been romantic and romantic. As long as they do not go to the brothel during official business hours, there is no violation. However, two years ago, Liu Biao issued a law for the incident of Liu Qi visiting prostitutes, prohibiting Jingzhou officials from dating prostitutes. However, in fact, this order has never been implemented.

Even so, the law was placed there and was not abolished. Using it as a chapter is a kind of big deal, or a use of the problem. Once Yi Ji understood Liu Jing's intention, he immediately found a solution.

This kind of interaction with famous prostitutes is a minor mistake in personal life, and it is harmless because there are no specific punishment regulations, so it can be big or small. As long as you correct your mistakes, you can still be re-entered, which is completely incomparable to the crimes of using power for personal gain.

Moreover, this crime is very consistent with Liu Jing's ruler. It is neither light nor serious. It is within the scope of criticism. Liu Jing nodded, "Justice Yi County Master, please arrange someone to submit an impeachment letter as soon as possible."

"There is a good minister to obey the order"

Liu Jing always pays attention to planning before moving in his work, but once he moves, he must act decisively. Yi Ji is well aware of this. That afternoon, Han Ying, the chief clerk of Wuchang County, wrote a letter to impeach Wuchang County Magistrate Tao Zheng, who was drunk and visiting prostitutes, was absent from the official style.
