Soon, an old man in purple robes, led by the monk, arrived in front of the hall.

Li Yiyan's expression was calm: "Wei Governor!"

The visitor was none other than Wei Chengqing, the governor of Qizhou. He was of the third rank and was wearing a purple robe. He held up his hands with a smile and said, "Li Zhengshi!"

The governor is the highest official in each state. A governor often manages several or even a dozen counties. Li Shimin once said, "The most important thing in governing people is the governor."

In the Tang Dynasty, the governors were also the most numerous high-ranking officials. The governors of Shangzhou were of the third rank, the governor of Zhongzhou was the upper rank of the fourth rank, and the governor of Xiazhou was the lower rank of the fourth rank.

The reason why they are called high-level officials instead of high-level officials is because many governors are not worthy of their name.

Shangzhou is economically prosperous and located at a strategic location, so the governor is really a high-ranking official.

When the governors of Zhongzhou came to be, they were a bit stretched. The gap between the rich and the poor was very big. Xiazhou was basically a tragedy. For example, the governors of remote areas such as Lingnan, central Guizhou, and Fujian were all occupied by those who had been demoted.

For example, Liu Zongyuan was demoted to Liuzhou, Han Yu was demoted to Chaozhou, and Liu Yuxi was demoted to Langzhou. They were all impoverished places, with dilapidated states and counties and a declining population.

It sounds like he is a fourth-grade official, but it is meaningless. His life is not as good as that of a sixth- or seventh-grade official in the capital.

Of course, Qizhou was an important state in the Tang Dynasty, which later became Fengxiang Prefecture. The governor of the state was Cong Sanpin, and both Li Jing and Cheng Yaojin served as governors of Qizhou.

Wei Chengqing, the governor of Qizhou, came forward in person, obviously with great force: "I am here to ask, which law did Wei Zhenxuan, the magistrate of Fufeng County, violate and was taken away by Deputy Envoy Li and has not returned to the county government yet?"

Li Yiyan looked calm: "Magistrate Wei and Deputy Envoy Li will investigate the case together, so Governor Wei doesn't have to worry."

Wei Chengqing said: "I'm very worried about Magistrate Wei's safety, but I've heard that Li Zhengshi never shows favoritism, but I'm not worried that Li Zhengshi will favor his fellow clan members!"

Li Yiyan said seriously: "I really won't be partial!"

Wei Chengqing sneered: "Okay! Okay!"

Shen Juyuan showed anger, but did not dare to say anything. Yang Zaisi's eyes flashed and he secretly complained: "Yuanfang, please don't smuggle Wei Zhenxuan into self-torture. Even if you don't punish him, this kind of behavior will be very accurate!"

However, while the two parties were still talking, the person involved came back.

And he walked in chatting and laughing.

Li Yan was talking and Wei Zhenxuan was smiling apologetically.

Li Yiyan rolled his eyes and looked at Wei Chengqing.
