850 The Secret Governor
The Imperial Guard and the Patrol Battalion made a lot of noise, which woke many people. The neighborhood enthusiasts were wearing coats and stood sleepy at the door of their house watching the fun. Seeing the Yan Mansion surrounded by groups, many people showed gloating expressions on their faces.
"These people are so interested in watching the fun." After hearing Captain Mei's remarks, the prefect of Jingzhao sighed softly, "Young Master Man has a bad reputation, but he didn't expect it to be so bad."
"Sir, what should we do?" Captain Mei looked at the prefect carefully, "Do you want your subordinates to bring people here?"
"Why are you bringing people here?" The prefect waved his hand, "You and I can interfere at will? We are not convenient for us to come forward."
"Then let it go?" Captain Mei shook his head in disagreement, "Sir, why don't you go over and take a look and ask about the situation?"
The prefect thought for a while and nodded at Captain Mei, "Okay, ask if we need help."
Captain Mei left from Jingzhao Mansion and came back shortly after a while. He saw the prefect standing in the yard in a daze, and walked over to stand in front of him.
"how?"
"Young Master Yan seems to be not in the ranks of arrests. Those tied up are very jealous." Captain Mei recalled, "Mrs. Yan is also there, but she seems to have been arrested, I don't know why. Moreover, not only Commander Bai is here, but the people of the Shen family army are there, which is probably not a trivial matter. The Commander asked his subordinates to tell the Lord that as long as the people are comforted after dawn, they will handle the rest."
"knew."
"There is another point. Before leaving Yan's mansion, my subordinates saw Prince Li's lantern from afar."
"Prince Li? It seems that it has alarmed the palace, so it is not what we should come forward." The prefect thought for a moment, "Since that's the case, let them do it. Let's do our duty. You go and rest. After dawn, just maintain order in the city."
"Yes, my subordinates have surrendered."
The prefect watched Captain Mei leave, but did not return to the room, but wrapped his cloak tightly on his body, stood in the yard, and looked up at the starry night sky.
In fact, most people don’t know that besides the position of Jingzhao Prefecture, he has another official position, which is the Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor. To be precise, this supervisor is his main job, and Jingzhao Prefecture is just to cover up his true identity.
There are two supervisors in the Imperial Heaven Supervision. On the surface, the supervisor with the surname Xie was active. The prefect has always been hiding in the dark. If there is no particularly important thing, he will not show up easily.
The last time he came forward was the day when the current emperor ascended the throne. He still remembered Song Jue's surprised expression when he saw him wearing a robe. If the occasion and time were wrong, he would probably grab his collar and ask what was going on.
However, after the throne ceremony, he was secretly announced by His Majesty to the palace. He did not say anything to Song Jue, but just handed the last emperor's will to His Majesty and left the palace. He never was asked again. I think he accepted this fact.
The prefect sighed softly. More than ten generations of their family believed in Taoism, and were good at dipping rituals and feng shui calculations. From a long time ago, they all played the role of national teachers, and were truly under one person, above ten thousand people, with unlimited glory.
But about a hundred years ago, there was a major mistake in national policy, and the blame eventually fell on the national teacher.
After such a big change at home, the family began to reflect on themselves, thinking that it was too much of the limelight and a punishment from God. Therefore, they began to deliberately cover up their true identity and no longer make a living by their unique skills.
The prefect smiled bitterly. It is not easy to truly fade out of the world. Those who should know their true identities will still know.
Just thirty years ago, the late emperor suddenly invited him to the palace, without any signs. At that time, he was not the prefect of Jingzhao, but just a little Hanlin from the Hanlin Academy. He was suddenly summoned to the palace, and he was a little at a loss, not knowing whether it was a bad luck or a good fortune.
Under the envious gaze of his colleagues, he followed Eunuch Pan who came to Xuan to meet the palace. After meeting the late emperor, he realized that he wanted to enter the palace to have an open and honest conversation with him.
Only then did he realize that their family has always been paid attention to.
The prefect remembered that he was very helpless at that time, but it was not easy to show it in front of the late emperor. He felt a little self-deprecating when talking about it later. He felt that since his identity had been exposed, he would just ask his question to the late emperor very directly, why did he ask him to enter the palace at this time?
He originally thought that the late emperor wanted to do some rituals, pray for good weather, peace and prosperity, etc., but he never expected that he had heard a shocking secret, oh, no, a shocking plan. In his opinion, that plan was too shocking, so that until now, he felt that everything that happened back then seemed to be in a dream, especially unreal. If time could go back, even if it violated the will of the holy, he would firmly refuse it.
It’s a pity that there is no regret in life, and nothing happened cannot be erased, so he can only admit it.
Fortunately, the shocking plan has been progressing smoothly. He has performed several deductions in different periods, and the results are consistent, indicating that they will definitely achieve what they want. Even if there will be some twists and turns in the process, there will be no danger.
The prefect lord pinched his stiff neck and turned to the direction of Yan's mansion. After looking for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He had to admit that the late emperor had a good vision and was very accurate in judging people. These children were very successful and had already exceeded their expectations.
The prefect stood in the yard for a while and was sure that nothing would happen again, so he slowly went back to the house to sleep.
