Jurong County is affiliated to Yingtian Prefecture, not far from the east of Nanjing. Although the county is mountainous, Jurong has a large population because it is backed by Nanjing City. It has long been rated as Shangxian County. It has a county magistrate, county magistrate and lord.

It is also worth mentioning that Jurong is also the ancestral home of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Yuanzhang's father moved to Fengyang from Jurong, so after the founding of the country, he also took good care of Jurong and moved many wealthy families into the county, making Jurong County very rich.

However, something big happened in Jurong County these days. Seven days ago, a team of Jinyiwei came from Nanjing and rushed into the county government without saying a word. The three chief officials, the county magistrate, the county magistrate and the chief Bo were arrested.

You should know that in this era, the imperial court ruled the country only to the county level, and there were only three officials in the entire county, namely the county magistrate, the county magistrate and the chief magistrate. Generally, if something happened to the county magistrate, the county magistrate or the chief magistrate would be the county magistrate or the chief magistrate acted on the affairs of the county. As a result, the three chief magistrates were arrested.

The sky in the east was slightly lit. Liu Dianli left the house early and bought a few buns on the way while eating. When he arrived at the county government office, he just finished eating the buns.

"Dian Li, you are here. The He family's case has been clearly sentenced, but the He family's brothers all said that they were at a disadvantage and now they are sitting in the lobby and are unwilling to leave." A clerk immediately came forward and complained.

"What are the losses? As soon as my father died, they were trying to divide the property. They asked them to bury their father first and distinguish the property. If they dare to cause trouble, they will directly get rid of it!" Liu Dianli snorted coldly when he heard this.

The He family is a large family in Jurong County, and the family business is quite large. Some time ago, the old man of the He family passed away. As a result, several brothers sued the yamen due to uneven distribution of property. Yesterday, he had already distributed the property of the He family to several people as evenly as possible, and asked them to bury Mr. He before coming, but they didn't expect that they all felt that they were at a disadvantage, so Liu Dianli was also very annoyed.

"It's not good to fight it out. I heard that the He family has a backer in Nanjing City. If it gets bigger, maybe we will suffer a loss?" The clerk asked worriedly when he heard this.

The three chief officials of Jurong County were gone, so the affairs in the county could only be managed by Liu Dianli. Originally, the He family's affairs were just a confusing account. After all, it was difficult for a clean official to settle family affairs, not to mention that Liu Dianli was not an official, so if his methods were too tough, it might cause trouble.

"What are you afraid of? The He family's backer is Mr. He. Now the old man is gone, and the brothers are still making trouble. Even if they sue him, they will ignore him. Moreover, there is a son-in-law in Nanjing now. Who dares to stretch his head at this time?" Liu Dianli waved his hand indifferently.

Seeing that Liu Dianli was firm in his attitude, the clerk was not good at saying anything, so he immediately agreed to go and handle the He family's affairs in person.

Liu Dianli looked up at the gate of the county government, and then took a long breath and stepped forward to the county government government. Dianli was originally an insignificant civilian official, but in fact he was a minor official, in charge of arrest, prison and other affairs, but now all three officials above were gone, so the affairs of the entire county government were pressing on him.

Liu Dianli came to his office room. Before she could drink a sip of water, a black-faced man sneaked in. When he saw Liu Dianli, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Liu, you are finally here. I have a big news to tell you!"

"What news? It's not that you are going to have a daughter again, right?" Liu Dianli couldn't help but smile when he saw this black-faced man.

This black-faced man is named Miao Fang, who is the captain of Jurong County. He has a very good martial arts skills. He once cut down five robbers with one knife. Unfortunately, he was born without a child and gave birth to six daughters in a row. Miao Fang's hair was almost white because of this.

"Brother Liu, don't joke. I'm serious. This news is related to Jin Xingcao!" Captain Miao lowered his voice at the end.

Hearing the three words "Jin Xingcao", Liu Dianli finally showed a serious expression. He immediately stood up and closed the door, and then asked in a low voice: "What news do you know?"

There are six ministries in the court, and there are also six government officials at all levels, namely Military Causes, Criminal Causes, Workers Causes, Etiquette Causes, House Causes, and Officials Causes. This is also the common name for local clerks. Officials such as county magistrates and county magistrates look glorious, but in fact, they also need to manage the local area through these clerks.

It is no exaggeration to say that the six officials of the silence are actually the ones who are in charge of the local area. Even some officials in some places can undermine officials. When the new officials arrive at the local area, they need to first manage their relationship with these officials.

Jin Xingcao is an old official in the county, and the Jin family is also a local tyrant. So although he only holds Zheng Cao, four of the other five Caos are very close to Jin Xingcao, and only the Hu Cao and Jin Xingcao have conflicts.

"Hehe, Jin Xingcao invited the other five Caos yesterday. Of course, Li Hucao didn't go, but all the other four Caos went. Although I didn't find out what they were talking about, I could tell with my toes that they must be targeting you, Brother Liu!" Captain Miao replied with a smile.

All three chief officials of the county magistrates were gone, and the entire Jurong County was also trapped in a power vacuum. It is said that the status of Dian Li was higher than that of the six Caos, so he should take over the affairs in the county government. However, Jin Xing Cao was a local tyrant in Jurong and was able to contact the other four Caos, so he could compete with Liu Dian Li in the county government.

"Jin Xingcao really can't wait to take action!" Liu Dianli sneered.

Compared with Jin Xingcao, Liu Dianli has a relatively shallow foundation in the county government and his family has no power in the county. It is just because he is smart and capable, so he has reached his current position.

However, the existence of Liu Dianli blocked the way for Jin Xingcao. After all, in the view of Jin Xingcao, the position of Dianli should have been his. If he becomes Dianli, the entire county government will become his one-man show. At that time, the power of the Jin family can also expand. Even if there is a new county magistrate in the future, it will be up to his face.

"Brother Liu, what should I do now? Should I contact Li Hucao? The three of us join forces, and we are not afraid of Jin Xingcao and the others!" Captain Miao also whispered to suggest that he and Liu Dianli were die-hard ally, while that Li Hucao had conflicts with Jin Xingcao. As the saying goes, the enemy's enemy is a friend, so they and Li Hucao can also advance and retreat together.

"It's just for a little profit, it feels really boring!" Liu Dianli sighed. In fact, he really doesn't want to fight with Jin Xingcao. After all, no matter how much he fights, he is just a small clerk in the end.
