In this dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao paid special attention to water transportation and gave instructions: "The inner part is the canal, and the outer part is the sea transportation. They are the lifeblood of the country and must be emphasized."
Therefore, as soon as the founding of the People's Republic of China, the canal was repaired and repaired several times. The siltation was excavated, the river channel was widened, and the water was more than ten feet deep. The rivers and coastal areas immediately prospered.
A sailboat docked at the pier. At this time, the dark clouds were heavy. A ninth-grade official quickly stepped out of the cabin. A gust of wind blew in his face, causing his clothes to lift up. When a yamen officer with a knife saw him coming out, he bowed: "Master
Mr. Bo, it’s windy outside and it’s going to rain. Can you please slow down for a while?”
"Well, no, I have an important errand." Zhu Bo looked up at the dark sky. Within a few minutes, a golden snake flashed past, followed by thunder that shook the earth and shook the earth. The thunder shook the ears, and the downpour was like a galloping horse.
However, Master Bo no longer hesitated and ordered sternly: "Wear oil clothes and ask the post station to prepare the ox cart. We will rush to Zhang Qin's envoy immediately."
"yes!"
Several government officials went to a nearby post station due to the rain. Soon there was a car, and they asked Master Bo to get on, and the group rushed to the Imperial Envoy's Mansion.
Fortunately, it was summer, and the popularity of Benre was not obvious. It didn't matter if it rained a little. It was not too far from the pier to Zhang Dai's temporary residence, only a few miles, and we arrived quickly.
"That's where the Imperial Envoy stayed. It was originally a local wealthy family's house. The people inside committed something and were taken away. The Imperial Envoy took the people to live in it."
Someone went to inquire about it, and the answer they got was this. By this time, the summer showers had stopped, and the weather had cleared up.
When Zhu Bo looked around, he saw a house with a black door and what looked like a third-in courtyard. For him, such a temporary place to stay was perfect.
As I got closer, I realized that there was a military officer outside the house.
The boss knew clearly that Zhang Dai, who was the deputy imperial envoy, behaved in a much more high-profile manner.
He has armored soldiers in his hands, and there are a lot of them. Wherever he goes, he is protected by armored soldiers. It is not entirely impressive, but it is actually necessary.
Because even though the officials were treating him cautiously, Zhang Dai still started a bloody storm wherever he went.
The accumulated hatred is naturally countless.
"Who are you?"
Seeing a few riders on an ox cart coming from a distance, they stopped at the gate. The armored soldier standing at the door immediately turned over with a cold expression, asked, and pressed the handle of his knife. This made the master who got off the ox cart frown slightly.
lower eyebrow.
But he was sent to deliver the message because he had a stable and gentle personality. He quickly recovered his expression and said to the questioning soldier: "I am from Nanxing County, representing the grandson and the prefect, to see Mr. Zhang."
Hearing this, Soldier Jia's expression softened and he saluted: "Sir, please forgive me for being rude. This is the rule ordered by the imperial envoy."
After checking their identities, the main agent was allowed in, but the few people who came with the main agent were left waiting outside.
The master has a thin jaw, so he steps in.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard the noise coming from inside, as if many people were whispering.
When I walked in, I realized that there were just a lot of people whispering!
There were quite a few people standing in the courtyard alone. Judging from the fact that they were wearing official uniforms, they were all officials.
Although they were all minor officials of the seventh or eighth rank, after a brief count, there were more than twenty people, all huddled in a corner of the courtyard, talking in low voices.
These people are also waiting for Zhang Dai to meet them. So many people?
The boss from Nanxing County was about to walk over when he was stopped by a voice from behind.
"Brother Wang Xian, why are you here?" The person who called out to Royal Lord Bo had already come over when King Lord Bo turned around, surprised: "It's really you! Why are you here?"
"Brother Li, is that you?"
This is really someone I know, Li Shen. He is an old acquaintance and somewhat related, so the names are relatively close to each other.
Neither of them were of high status, and Princess Bo of Nanxing, who came with the letter, was just a minor official of the ninth rank.
Li Shen was from the eighth rank and was stronger than him, so when he saw the person coming, the Royal Lord Bo could only stop.
Li Shen came over and asked directly: "Are you from Nanxing County?"
The boss nodded: "Yes."
Li Shen closed the distance and asked in a low voice: "I don't know what's going on in Nanxing County. I heard that the grandson has arrived in Nanxing County. Is there any news?"
The master shook his head and said, "I still have some urgent errands here, but I don't dare to delay them. How about we wait until the errands are done and we can talk about it?"
Li Shen could only get out of the way and watched the master go to the entrance of the hall.
Originally, I was thinking about waiting a while and going to inquire about the situation. After meeting this acquaintance, the boss changed his mind.
If you want to get information yourself, others may also want to get information from you.
But it doesn't matter if other people's news is revealed. If his own errand is leaked, he will have to go around in trouble. Li Shen can still refuse, but when others ask, if he doesn't answer, he will offend others out of thin air.
Thinking of this, Lord Bo no longer hesitated and said: "I am Lord Bo Wang Ningdao of Nanxing County, and I want to see Master Zhang Dai."
Bo Wangningdao, the Lord of Nanxing County?
When the people guarding outside the hall heard this, they immediately paid attention. After all, the grandson was in this county.
"Please wait a moment." One person said, and immediately went in to report to Zhang Dai. He came out later and said, "Sir, please come in."
"Yes!" Upon learning that there was a summons, Wang Ningdao immediately walked inside.
I was still thinking of giving a letter to Zhang Dai first, and after meeting Zhang Dai, I would give another letter to Fang Xi.
As soon as he entered, he saw Fang Xi in the hall, sitting upright on the couch on one side, but with a gloomy expression. Wang Ningdao had never seen Fang Xi, but he heard Yu Lu describe his appearance, and he recognized him at a glance.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Dai, who was sitting in the middle, looked a little tired. He glanced down and saw that he was a ninth-rank official in his thirties, with a fair face and a long beard. He asked indifferently.
"Replying to your lord, I am here to deliver the message on the orders of my grandson and the prefect Chai." Wang Ningdao bowed and said.
Letter from Nanxing County Magistrate Chai Kejing and Taisun?
When Zhang Dai heard about the prefect Chai Kejing, he still had an indifferent attitude. When he heard about the grandson, he stood up, stared at Wang Ning and nodded, "Where's the letter?"
Wang Ningdao hurriedly took out the letter and handed it to Zhang Dai: "This is a letter for you, sir."
Zhang Dai took it, took out the envelope, and read it carefully.
At this time, Wang Ningdao looked at the person sitting next to him again and asked: "I don't know about this sir, but is this Sir Fang Xifang?"
In fact, Fang Xi had been paying close attention to him since he knew that this was the master from Nanxing County.
He sent Yu Lu to Taisun, who sent a letter with the magistrate of Nanxing County, stating that Taisun had gone to Nanxing County.
He kind of wanted to know how Yu Lu was doing now.
Then he saw the master of Nanxing County, took out the second letter and handed it to him.
"This is a letter from Master Yu Luyu to you, Master Fang."
Before Fang Xi could take a closer look, Zhang Dai had already finished reading the letter to himself. The letter was not long, and his expression changed. He looked back and read it again. He seemed a little surprised, as if he had not expected that his grandson would behave like this, and asked:
"You said that Taisun ordered you to hand over the case files to me?"
"Yes, there are twenty-three volumes in total, and all the charges have been confirmed." Wang Ningdao bowed, his attitude was very good, but his words were unusual: "I will let you handle it, Grand Sun."
"Let me handle it?" Zhang Dai couldn't help but smile, looking up at the gray and gloomy sky outside the window.
Once this kind of crime is confirmed, the whole house will be confiscated and beheaded. Does Taisun want to do it on his behalf?
"Is it due to scruples or other motives?"
Zhang Dai carefully recalled the past events of this grandson, and felt that it was unlikely that he was afraid of trouble. Perhaps, he just didn't end up directly?
Taisun's sudden move was really unexpected.
Zhang Dai's expression calmed down again and he smiled for a long time. When he came back to his senses and looked at Fang Xi, he realized that Fang Xi had also finished reading the letter. His face turned red and his veins bulged.
Did you learn the truth from the letter?
It's no wonder that Fang Xi showed such an expression. This was someone who had completely tricked her into a trap.
Zhang Dai pondered for a moment and asked: "You came to me. You don't have many specific errands, so I'm neglecting you. However, now that my grandson has transferred my case files and given evidence, he wants me to check on these corrupt officials. How do you like this errand?"
manage?"
Fang Xi held the letter tightly and suddenly raised her head to look at Zhang Dai.
The two looked at each other, and Fang Xi's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she said solemnly: "I am willing!"
First of all, I would like to apologize to the readers. Although it was not much at first, it was only one chapter a day, but now it is simply unavoidable. I also have underlying diseases. I heard that the prefect of this county has a low infection rate.
When I was scolded by my superior, I felt angry but had nothing to say.
