Bold, how dare you break Ben Hou

The cabin curtain that covered it was lifted by Lianxiang, and the boatman who was wearing a bamboo hat just now knelt down and kowtowed as soon as Fang entered, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty, Lord Hou!"

"You've settled this crime, so don't worry about other things. The Shencheng Mansion is right in front of you. If you have a grievance, why don't you go there to submit the case?" After Gu Jixiu's affirmation, Qingzhi also sat up straight, Said decently.

The boatman and Lianxiang knelt together, but this time, he was the one who replied: "Please look at the certificate!"

Qingzhi's face darkened, a little embarrassed, and he scolded Gu Jixiu secretly in his heart, knowing that he was a parallel importer, and he threw such a stall here, but saw Gu Jixiu suddenly opened his eyes, and asked suddenly: "But for the sake of applying for About the replacement of Yi in the city government?"

"Holy Master Mingjian!"

Qingzhi vaguely remembered that before departure, Fang Lansheng had attacked him and told Qingzhi that the most important purpose of their trip was to do some investigations on the newly appointed Yizhao Renchang of Shencheng Prefecture.

Donggu is divided into five prefectures and one county, and the five prefectures are Huizhou prefecture, Lingzhou prefecture, Qinzhou prefecture, Xizhou prefecture, Far East prefecture, and Chang'an County, which is the imperial capital.The Fu Yi of each prefecture is naturally similar to the current governor's position. According to Lan Sheng, they are usually re-elected every ten years.However, Yi Xuyi, the Huizhou prefecture, had only been in office for three or four years before he was suddenly dismissed and imprisoned.

The deployment of officials outside the imperial capital has always been handled by the Ministry of Officials, and then a letter is sent to the emperor. If there is no problem, a document will be sent and the new official can take office.

But if there are too many trivial matters, sometimes the emperor would not bother to look at the memorials handed over by the officials. Except for military affairs, they would generally be transferred to the cabinet, which would be discussed by the cabinet, leave comments, and finally be submitted to the emperor for approval.

This said, most of Qingzhi's heart is clear, it turns out that it is like this, someone walked around when the emperor's cousin was in a daze, and when he woke up, he found that something was wrong, so he sent Qingzhi as a smoke bomb to tour the south, and then But I followed secretly again, wanting to investigate.

Unexpectedly, halfway, he was sold by the servant of the household department, which allowed Lianxiang and others to take advantage of the loopholes, and followed all the way, waiting for the opportunity to appeal.

If only someone donated officials to the Ministry of Officials, Gu Jixiu would not care about it. Donating officials has happened in every dynasty, and it cannot be eliminated.But the bad thing is that the official department made a memorial, and Gu Jixiu transferred it to the cabinet, but there was no further follow-up, so the official position was transferred.

Qingzhi shivered, as if Gu Jixiu's voice in his ear was getting colder: "The old men in the cabinet are not paying attention to me more and more."

"Your Majesty, Lord Hou, when Master Xu was in power, he never favored a single case, he was sympathetic to the common people, and he was even more honest. However, because he investigated the case of Sui Gong, the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, he was bitten back. Now he has been sentenced to prison. Prison, life and death are unknown!" The boatman kowtowed again: "I also ask the Holy Lord Hou Ye to investigate clearly!"

Qingzhi put his hand to his forehead, and said: "This..." He prolonged his voice, and secretly knocked on Gu Jixiu, seeing that he closed his eyes again, he continued leisurely: "This is just your side of the story, let's talk about your private investigation. The emperor's travel route, and such a play, must have been planned in Qian County, and the person who stole in the middle of the night was also arranged by the girl?"

Lian Xiang bit her lower lip, her face turned pale: "Please forgive me, Lord Hou. At that time, I only wanted to be able to follow the emperor's party. I had no other choice but to do this!"

The briber stole the travel expenses of Qingzhi's party, and then prepared a "hero to save the beauty", and finally was able to follow Qingzhi's party smoothly, in order to be able to keep abreast of Qingzhi's route, inform them in time, and cooperate with others to Stop them on this river.

It's just that they thought the play was going well, but they didn't know if the people watching the play had already seen the clues and expected the ending.

Qingzhi glanced at the people beside him, secretly admiring him.

"If Lord Hou doesn't believe it, you can read the ledger first." The boatman saw that Qingzhi didn't go on, but stared straight at Lianxiang. Take something in your pocket.

Fu Yanxin didn't even think about it, he lifted his foot and kicked it. Qingzhi stood behind and saw him catch him lightly, and the boatman fell heavily to the ground, causing the boat to shake a few times.

Qingzhi raised his eyes to look at Gu Jixiu, he sat up straight now, and said, "Bring it here and let me have a look."

The dog-legged took the account book and handed it over. Gu Jixiu just flipped through a few pages and closed it again: "Who the hell are you?" He pointed at the boatman.

Before Fu Yanxin let go of him, he picked up the bamboo hat that he had been wearing all the time. The man in front of him was about 40 years old, his shrewd eyes were staring at Gu Jixiu, and the goatee on his lips was funny. Poking up: "Cao Min's surname is Xiao, one name is Liao, and the word Ziheng is Ziheng."

Qingzhi obviously felt the people beside him flicker: "Are you Mr. Pingyuan Xiao Ziheng?"

As soon as the words fell, I felt the ship shake again, it turned out to be docked.

Qingzhi didn't know who this Mr. Pingyuan was, nor did he know what was written in the account book just now, all he knew was that Gu Jixiu's face was becoming more and more ugly.

When the boat docked, Qingzhi came out of the cabin only to find that it was already midnight.

"How long have we been walking?"

Lian Xiang, who came out behind her, replied: "From the Huai River, all the way down the river, you can reach Shencheng directly. It only takes half a day, and you have already reached the outskirts of Shencheng."

Gu Jixiu looked at the carriage in the distance, and said with a smile: "Since everything is prepared, let's go."

Lian Xiang respectfully stood aside: "Minnv has offended Shengyan for a long time, and now she dare not do it again. Presumably Zhao Renchang has prepared everything for the Holy Lord in the city. Minnv and Mr. Xiao have had several encounters with Zhao Renchang." Yuan, I'm afraid it's inconvenient to show up." After saying that, he handed Qingzhi another bundle, and he reached out to take it, and two lines of tears flowed down his face, it was his stolen silver taels.

Gu Jixiu nodded, but immediately his eyes flashed brightly: "Chen Si, just follow."

Lianxiang bit her lower lip, knowing that she was doomed to report this risky report, even Huizhong might be involved, but when she thought of that thin but tall body, she forced a smile: "Minnv and Mr. Xiao are in Guangde Lane in the west of the city." Everything is worth it, as long as you can help him, everything is worth it!For the sake of her body, even if she had to give up her own life, she would be fine!

■

Everyone prepared the carriage, and Gu Jixiu got into the original one. Qingzhi was agreed to ride in the carriage together, and handed over the task of leading the donkey to Liufu.

The two were sitting in the carriage together, Qingzhi spread his hands, and in front of him was the account book he had just brought from Xiao Ziheng.

"I think Xu Yi is an upright official..." Qingzhi saw that Gu Jixiu had no objection, so he flipped through it casually. After all, he is also a product of exam-oriented education in the 21st century. able to understand.

It is remembered in the account books that there are entries for tribute every year and various land deeds.

"It seems that Mr. Xu wanted to handle a big case, but he didn't expect it to be done, so he was brought in first." Qing Zhi rubbed his temples, nodded his forehead and said: "To put it bluntly, brother is a parallel importer." , I don’t know anything about handling cases, what are you going to do?”

"The collusion between officials and businessmen in the Jianghuai area is rampant, and the actions are frequent. In recent years, the imperial capital has become less and less important, but I have some scruples. The empress dowager always said that she was ruthless. Ah..." With a long sigh, he didn't come up with a solution, but just reached out to take the account book in Qing Zhi's hand, and the fingertips of the two touched slightly.

With a shock, Qingzhi opened his mouth and said: "I have established one family, but I don't know the other family's decision. If we want to do it together at that time, the vitality of the government and businessmen will be greatly damaged. How should we end it?"

Gu Jixiu's movements froze, and he looked at him with a half-smile: "Mr. Liu is really shrewd."

Suddenly hearing him say his name when he first met Gu Jixiu, he was a little dazed, perhaps because he had regarded him as Bailiqing for a long time.

"The emperor has a good memory."

The carriage made a "da da" sound on the road, Qingzhi could only laugh dryly.

"It's not a good memory, it's just that I don't want to remember things, but I will remember them." The car curtain was obviously put down, but Gu Jixiu seemed to be able to look into the distance through the car curtain: "You said before, this The shell contains your own soul, so... I want to know, where did his soul... go?"
