Zhao Xun beheaded the mandrill cleanly and ordered his people to hang the mandrill's head at the head of Taoyuan Village for public display.
This move made the villagers of Taoyuan Village feel grateful to Zhao Xun while being shocked.
This monster had killed countless people recently, and now that it was killed, everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief.
Under the leadership of the village chief, the villagers of Taoyuan Village presented Zhao Xun with the Wanmin Umbrella.
Zhao Xun was still very moved.
They say the common people are confused, but actually the common people are not confused at all.
They know very well who is good to them.
People who treat them well will sing praises and wish to build a shrine to them.
People who treat them badly will be despised by the people.
Zhao Xun just did what he should do within his ability, and the people were so grateful.
It shows how incompetent and incompetent the local bureaucrats are.
Of course, the bureaucracy works up and down.
The fundamental reason is that Emperor Xianlong did not want to be the son of a man.
The upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. Emperor Xianlong was obsessed with power and did not care about people's livelihood. This led to the death of these officials.
It is true that these are not things that Zhao Xun can change alone, but Zhao Xun still plans to give it a try, even if it means contributing his own meager efforts.
However, it was said that Zhao Xun and his party took a short rest after returning to Qingyunyi, washed themselves and had a banquet together.
Yi Cheng Zhou Ji expressed his gratitude to the imperial envoy Zhao Xun on behalf of the villagers of Taoyuan Village and Qingyun Yi.
As for the censors and officials, they did not say a word from beginning to end.
It’s not that they don’t want to talk, they are professional trolls, and making judgments is their professional characteristic.
But the problem is that the supervisory censor was severely slapped in the face by the third senior brother last time, and no one dares to steal the spotlight at this time.
Not only might he miss out on the limelight, but his face could also be beaten and swollen.
Zhao Xun thanked Zhou Yicheng for his hospitality.
Overall, this guy is not a bad person.
Except for the fact that Zhao Xun couldn't understand the fact that he sent his daughter to Zhao Xun to sleep with him, it basically met the standards of an official.
After all, it is no longer easy for an official to do practical things in this era.
It is impossible to ask everyone to be a saint, it is unrealistic.
However, after the banquet, Zhao Xun and others planned to have an early rest and set off on their way early the next morning.
They had already been delayed for some time in Qingyunyi, and they had to hurry up and get on their way.
A night of silence.
The next morning, Zhao Xun got up early to meditate, gain enlightenment, and practice the exercises.
He prefers meditating in the morning to meditating at night.
At this time, people are more awake and more focused.
Before dawn, when yin and yang intersect, it is the best time for a person to improve his strength.
After about half an hour, Zhao Xun ended his meditation.
He glanced out the window and saw that the sky was completely bright, so he got up and dressed up to have breakfast.
Wangcai, Jia Xingwen, and several senior fellow students from the academy arrived one after another, but the censors were the only ones who were dragging their feet.
Zhao Xun was speechless.
These guys spend their days pampering themselves, thinking only about enjoyment, and yet they are so poor and particular when they go out.
"Where is Zhou Yicheng?"
As soon as Zhao Xun finished speaking, Zhou Ji appeared next to Zhao Xun with a charming smile.
"What are your orders, Your Majesty the Imperial Envoy?"
He was very respectful to Zhao Xun and did not dare to show any slights.
"Go and wake up the censors, we are about to set off."
Zhou Ji quickly agreed and did as he was told.
Facts have proved that some people are born to be cheap, and if you don’t tighten them up, they will never be strict with themselves.
Knowing that Zhao Xun was about to leave, the imperial officials stumbled over one after another.
Their clothes were disheveled and they didn't even have time to tie their belts. They were veritable beasts in clothing.
Zhao Xun glanced at them, showing contempt in his eyes.
"I'll give you some time for a cup of tea and finish your breakfast. If you can't finish it, take some dry food with you and hit the road."
I didn't have a good impression of these strong-mouthed king Zhao Xun at first, and now all good impressions have been lost.
The censors dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out. They secretly cursed Zhao Xun in their hearts for daring to pretend like this, a young boy who dared to act like this. They must read a copy of him when they return to Chang'an.
But he said that the group had eaten well and were on their way.
Zhou Yicheng took all the Qingyun Station soldiers to see him off.
Zhao Xun didn't show any nostalgia, controlled the reins with one hand, clamped the horse's belly with both legs, and rushed to the front.
A crowd of people followed closely behind.
…
…
Hanzhou City is adjacent to Yongzhou and is the only way from Yongzhou to Huangzhou.
After several days of running around, Zhao Xun and his party arrived at Hanzhou City.
Hanzhou City is not big, only about a few tenths of Chang'an City, with a population of about 100,000. It is considered a medium-sized city in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Upon hearing that the imperial envoy had arrived, Hanzhou Governor Liang Wenian and officials from Hanzhou City came to greet him.
Zhao Xun was a man who did not care about ostentation, so he signaled Governor Liang not to disturb the people.
Under the arrangement of Governor Liang, the Imperial Envoy and his party stayed in a large three-bedroom house in Hanzhou City.
It is said that this house was originally occupied by a wealthy merchant in Hanzhou City. Later, the wealthy merchant was convicted and his family was imprisoned, and the house became empty.
Governor Liang had been ordering people to sweep it, probably so that he could sell it at the right time and make a big profit.
Now that Zhao Xun has led the team here, this house is suitable for the imperial envoys to live in.
I have to say, this house is really luxurious.
Waterside pavilions, rockeries and ponds are all available, and even the furniture is made of rosewood.
Even the royal family can't do anything like this.
This rich businessman has a mine at home!
But what Zhao Xun is most concerned about is obviously not the living environment.
Hanzhou inkstone is famous all over the world.
As the Wenquxing appointed by the mountain chief and the most favored disciple, Zhao Xun naturally hopes that he can develop better on the road of literary cultivation.
And how can a scholar’s handwriting not look good?
So Zhao Xun has been practicing diligently.
Fortunately, although the original owner of this body was a dandy, he still had good handwriting.
Zhao Xun was a liberal arts student in his previous life and had a very good understanding of calligraphy.
With the fusion of the two, his calligraphy is quite good.
People who like calligraphy have very high requirements for inkstones.
Zhao Xun can't wait to try Hanzhou Inkstone.
Governor Liang was obviously a sensible person and had already prepared the Four Treasures of the Study.
As for the inkstone, it is the best among the best, and it matches Zhao Xun's temperament very well.
"Brother Mingyun, Brother Mingyun!"
Zhao Xun was preparing to practice calligraphy calmly, but unexpectedly, the little fat man Wangcai ran over in a hurry.
"Wangcai? Why are you so worried?"
"There is a murder case in Hanzhou City. The victim came to our house and cried, asking the Imperial Envoy to make the decision!"
Zhao Xun's face couldn't help but darken when he heard this.
Homicide?
Why does he always encounter cases wherever he goes?
This is really outrageous.
"Where is Governor Liang? Does Governor Liang know about this?"
Wangcai shook his head and said, "I don't know. Brother Mingyun, you'd better go and have a look first."
Zhao Xun nodded and said: "Okay."
After saying that, he shook up his robe and walked towards the door at the lead.
