Chai Hu blushed a little shyly, he raised his hand and scratched his head, and said, "Uncle Zhong, don't praise me, I'm afraid that if you praise me, I will be easy to be proud!"
” "This can't be done," Xu Zhong said: "At this time, your role is great, and Madam still pointed to you to continue to stare at Meng Shaohui, so as to deliver the news in time." ” Chai Hu was encouraged, straightened his chest, and said very seriously: "Yes, I must be watching carefully." ” Uncle Zhong nodded heavily and asked him to go back to work.
He turned his head and saw Qiu Hao walking in, his expression became a little more serious, and he said, "Madame, is there a letter?"
” Qiu Hao was relieved a lot because he knew that the matter of the joint letter of the hundred officials had been resolved, and his expression was more relaxed, and he smiled and said, "Exactly," he handed the secret letter to Xu Zhong as he spoke.
Xu Zhong glanced at it and said, "In the future, I will bring the iron ball and open it again, and burn it immediately after reading it, so as not to have any accidents on the road and the letter will fall into the hands of others." ” Qiu Hao knew that Xu Zhong really wanted to train himself as a successor, so he spared no effort and responded with sincerity.
Xu Zhong had already read the letter, because his eyes were getting more and more dizzy, Qiu Hao hurriedly went to get his reading glasses, Xu Zhong took it and read it carefully, and then showed the note to Qiu Hao again.
Qiu Hao said, "Master, who do you think is appropriate to send a letter to Lord Lang of the Ministry of Officials?"
” The Ministry of Officials is Xu Zhaokuan's world, and it is also an important reason why King Ji has been able to survive in the succession for many years.
But not long after the bad thing happened to Xue Chang, the original secretary of the ministry, there was Xue Chang's person in the ministry, who this person is, Mrs. has already pointed out.
But how to get him to help, it still needs to be said.
If Xu Zhong was younger, he would have gone by himself, but after all, he was too old to do it.
Qiu Hao said: "Master, let the apprentices go to this matter." ” "You?"
Xu Zhong glanced at him, although he made more and more progress, but after all, he was too young, and sometimes he was not thoughtful and impulsive.
Qiu Hao said: "The apprentice knows the master's concerns, and the apprentice thinks that the lady has a lot to use people these days, and outsiders can't believe it, so the apprentice simply resigned from the errand of Yishanzhai first, and specialized in running errands and contacting, and the master of Yishanzhai chose others to manage first." ” Although Xu Zhong pointed out Qiu Hao's management of Yishan Zhai, he has never been free to cross the Ming Road, so he is just a young man, saying that he can be removed from the list, and there is no record in Shuntian Mansion to check, Qiu Hao goes, even if it fails, it will not affect Mrs.
Xu Zhongjue's self did not choose the wrong person, this courage and loyalty are more important than many things.
He said: "Okay, Yishanzhai is now on the right track, and let the second shopkeeper take care of the idle things, and I will look at the disposal if I can't solve it." ” Master is trying to keep a place for himself, Qiu Hao's eyes are hot, and he kowtows to Xu Zhong twice when he picks up his robe.
When it was late, he changed into Xiucai's clothes, got a letter of worship, and went to the house of Qin Kai, the right attendant of the ministry. ----- When Qiu Hao got the old files of all the officials in Quzhou ten years ago and sent them to Quzhou in person, Baimei reported that Xu Yunxing and Mr.
Chang had also returned.
Jinghe regretted a little, if he had known about Lord Yuan, he should have asked them to ask about it.
Who knew that Tang Zilan did not leak anything, not only found the family who moved to Jiangbei, but also brought in an old woman from that household who disguised herself as a servant woman of the post house.
Jinghe did not hesitate to praise them, and praised them fiercely, before inviting them to sit down and talk about the investigation.
Mr.
Chang said first: "I went to the suburbs around Quzhou to ask about the events of the year, and most of the people had no impression, but they all gritted their teeth with hatred for Zhan Zishou, the county commander of Yunxian County, saying how he invaded the township back then, bullying men and women, and the people were not able to make a living, and many people in Yunxian County wanted to go to the neighboring towns and towns to seek refuge with their relatives, but he just didn't issue official certificates, and even went to the nearby districts and counties to find the fugitives in the nearby districts and counties every once in a while, and also searched the residence of the people who were taken in on the grounds of the fugitives in Sona. ” He politely took the teacup from Bai Mei's hand and continued: "Those ordinary people are not very familiar with Lord Han Mingji, but they are all grateful to Lord Han ......."
"Gratitude?"
Jinghe asked, "How do you say this?"
” "What the people mean is that there were so many so-called Qing officials who came before, but they couldn't stand that Zhan Zishou, and then Lord Han came, Zhan Zishou fell down, and the people had a good life.
The common people don't care who is a bandit and who rebels, in short, whoever gives them a full meal, they are grateful, of course, these are just words, they are unwilling to testify in court to prove that Lord Han is a good person. ” Jinghe was mentally prepared and said: "Just based on the confessions of these countrymen, and they are so ambiguous, it is impossible to clear up the grievances on Lord Han, we still have to investigate carefully," she turned to Tang Zilan again and asked, "What have you gained from Tang Gongzi?"
” Tang Zilan looked understated and said: "I'm ashamed, since I left Quzhou County, I haven't met a few villages, and the villagers don't know much about Quzhou City.
Originally, I thought that I was going to return in vain, but when I was walking in the mountains to borrow water, I met a family, but the family knew what happened back then, and said that they were the victims of the narrow township moving to the wide township at that time, because they were afraid that Zhan Zishou would take revenge for personal gain, so they avoided the disaster in the mountains.
I was afraid that I didn't know enough details and couldn't ask clearly, so I took it upon myself to bring people back and ask the county lord himself. ” Jinghe nodded again and again, and said, "This is very good," she got up again and blessed a few of them, and said, "On behalf of my husband and the people of Quzhou, thank you a few people." ” Mr.
Chang didn't dare to say a few times, and He Daochang even said: "Poor Dao has never seen the county lord like this, speaking of integrity, chivalry, and courage, Poor Dao and others really admire Mrs.," said with his hands on the dust, and bowed.
Jing He hurriedly stepped forward to help her up, and said two words that the Taoist chief must not be polite.
Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, Jinghe asked Bai Mei to order the kitchen to add vegetables, because the rules of the rivers and lakes were not formal, Jinghe felt that it was hypocritical for her to have men and women separate from the two tables, so she had to divide the guests and hosts, set up six or seven small tables, and put a piece of food on the table in front of each other.
This way of eating is very novel, but it is very suitable for the temperament of Mr.
Chang and others.
Jinghe had eaten with them, and invited them back to rest, and then called the old woman to come.
The old woman had already been accompanied by Bai Mei to eat, but she was still full of fear in her description, presumably she was reluctant to come, Tang Zilan used some means.
Not to mention that Jinghe didn't have the heart to care about Tang Zilan, even if she had leisure, she didn't want to use the rules of the court to ask the people of the rivers and lakes.
She looked gentle, invited the old woman to sit down on the rose chair on her left, and told Bai Mei to bring a cup of hot tea to warm the old woman's body.
