Such as Murong Bai, a well-known person in the south of the Yangtze River, would not dare to underestimate people such as the prefect of Hangzhou and the king of Liang, let alone ordinary officials in the yamen.

Therefore, when Murong Bai handed over the name card, a small official greeted him immediately, and invited Murong Bai into the parlor of the prefect of Hangzhou, which was specially used for entertaining fellow officials, gentry and rich households, and sent him off very quickly. A pot of tea came over.

Murong Bai picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. It was a new Longjing produced in West Lake this year, and it tasted good.

Seeing that it may take a while for the prefect of Hangzhou to come over, after all, as a local parent, such a disaster happened again last night, the prefect of Hangzhou may have a lot of official duties in his hands at this time, so Murong Bai simply settled down Quietly sipped tea.

However, to his surprise, he hadn't even finished his cup of tea when there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Murong Bai put down the tea bowl in his hand, raised his eyes to look, what caught his eyes was wearing a scarlet official gown, for Murong Bai, he was already very familiar with the prefect of Hangzhou...

When the prefect of Hangzhou arrived, Murong Bai first asked Huang Tianba to present the gift that he had been holding in his arms, and then asked him to guard outside the door.

Seeing Murong Bai's behavior, Hangzhou prefect also roughly guessed that Murong Bai was going to tell him something important, for example, the rabbit demon that was captured and suppressed by Zen Master Fahai of Jinshan Temple.

After all, with the power in the hands of the prefect of Hangzhou, it only takes a little investigation to clearly know that Cai Yin who became a demon in Xu Xian's mansion is not only related to Xu Xian alone.

Thinking of this verse, he also sent away all the servants serving in the room.

Chapter 1415

The prefect of Hangzhou told Murong Bai one thing.

In fact, before Murong Bai came to the magistrate's yamen today, the prefect of Hangzhou had just received several distinguished guests from Jinshan Temple outside the city.

Headed by Monk Fajue, several Buddhist masters came with Fahai's order.

The request made by Monk Fajue is not difficult, and at the moment when there are demons appearing in the boundary of Hangzhou, the prefect of Hangzhou also needs to do something.

Even with his mortal body, he would definitely not be able to slay demons and demons, but at least with that attitude, he could be regarded as fulfilling his duties as a parent.

"Mr. Dao Ling's concerns, I can understand. Speaking carefully, the rabbit monster has been a maidservant in the gentleman's house for a period of time after all, and the rabbit demon has indeed never done anything when he hid in the gentleman's house. of evil."

"Even if Mr. wants to be innocent, it's justified."

"It's just that the Jinshan Temple has spoken before..." At this point, the prefect of Hangzhou smiled wryly and shook his head, looked at Murong Bai and sighed, "The common people respect Jinshan Temple very much, if you can't come up with any effective evidence, Here, it is really difficult for me to reverse everyone's prejudice against that rabbit demon."

The prefect of Hangzhou only considered Murong Bai because Caiyin had been a maidservant in his family, and Xu Xian, who had a close relationship with Caiyin, was the only disciple under Murong Bai's sect, so they found him here, and wanted to With the authority of the government, he seeks innocence for himself and his disciple Xu Xian.

After all, in the eyes of the prefect of Hangzhou, if this matter cannot be clarified as soon as possible, then, yesterday, because of the fear, anger and other emotions accumulated in their hearts, the people who were able to surround Xu Xian's house could also Regardless of Murong Bai's uncommon status as an upper-class figure in the city, he also went to block the door of Murong Bai's house.

If such a thing really happened, even the yamen will definitely take some measures to ensure that the situation will not deteriorate further, but for Murong Bai, it will be very embarrassing after all.

The prefect of Hangzhou easily agreed to Murong Bai, saying that he would help him spread the word, so that the people in the city could understand and understand, even though Caiyin had been proven to be a rabbit demon, and he was the same as the notorious golden cymbal. The Dharma king still has a lot of connections, but between Murong Bai and Xu Xian, who are masters of Juren, there is absolutely no possibility of being in the same class.

The prefect of Hangzhou stroked the white beard under his chin with a smile, and told Murong Bai confidently that even if there were people who couldn’t understand, they couldn’t understand, with the many servants and soldiers with official aura in the yamen, they could still call the people The most correct decision can be made in a short time.

After all, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages has always been an instinctive behavior rooted in the bone marrow of the world.

Whether rich or poor, high or low.

The prefect of Hangzhou easily agreed to Murong Bai's first request, promising that he would solve all the troubles caused by the Rabbit Demon being captured by Zen Master Fahai for Murong Bai and Xu Xian.

But for Murong Bai, the prefect of Hangzhou still needs to try to prove that Caiyin is innocent. Even if he can't prove it, he still needs to release such outrageous words. However, the prefect of Hangzhou has been unable to make a positive response for a long time.

It wasn't until Murong Bai took a sip of tea that he slowly said these words to the prefect of Hangzhou.

"Wang heard that due to the big problem with the canal and water transport this year, the imperial court had made a decision at the court meeting half a month ago. At the end of this year at the latest, the imperial court will send people to leave Beijing. To rectify the administration of Jiangnan officials?"

What Murong Bai said at this time was secret news in the official circles, and there was definitely no rumor about it among the people.

At this moment, hearing it from Murong Bai suddenly, Hangzhou Magistrate's heart skipped a beat, looking at Murong Bai who was sitting in front of him, holding a tea bowl and taking care of himself, he couldn't help saying something insincere.

He laughed dryly, and praised Murong Bai, "Mr. Daoling is really well-informed."

After a little hesitation, the prefect of Hangzhou finally nodded slightly and admitted, "Yes, this matter has indeed been settled. I heard that the person in charge will be a supervisory censor selected from the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I have always been diligent in the affairs of the king, and I am unselfish."

He smiled and said, "I think that with this lord Yushi going south, many Shushus lurking in the high gates of the government office should be able to be captured. In the coming year, the tax money sent to Beijing should be able to come back again." Add a lot."

"It's a great thing."

The prefect of Hangzhou said this with a smile, if it weren't for the fact that Murong Bai had lived in Hangzhou for many years and knew the details of the prefect very well, he might not be able to see his insincere words at this moment Come.

However, Murong Bai didn't intend to say anything to expose these lies spoken by the prefect of Hangzhou.

After sipping his tea with a smile, he suddenly opened his mouth and asked the prefect of Hangzhou such a question, "Wang wrote an article on politics the year before last, do you remember it?"

Hangzhou prefect nodded slightly, "Of course I remember."

Murong Bai has written quite a few articles ever since he became a well-known celebrity in this Jiangnan region and even in the entire Kyushu through his foster care.

And the one he wrote the year before last was one of the most brilliant ones among these many articles.

Although the prefect of Hangzhou didn't understand why Murong Bai suddenly brought up this article, but at this moment, he still smiled and spoke a few words to Murong Bai.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Daoling's article has done a lot of honor to the culture and education in Zhejiang Province. Even today, when I have some free time, I still have to read it from time to time."

Murong Bai shook his head and said, "My lord's praise."

He picked up the tea bowl in front of him again, looked at the little tea left in it, but didn't drink it.

He just held the tea bowl in his hand, then looked at the prefect of Hangzhou with a smile, and said something that had nothing to do with his original intention of going to the government office to find the prefect of Hangzhou today.

But Murong Bai said in a slow voice, "Actually, because of this article, Mr. Wang had several personal letters with Mr. Dezheng. After going back and forth like this, Mr. Wang and Mr. Dezheng have also become friends who have forgotten the years." ..."

The so-called Mr. Dezheng is a great Confucian in Beijing. Although he has never been in the officialdom, he has been a high-ranking official.
