The decree finally came down just in time for the third day of March.

When the emperor heard that such a big case had occurred in Shanghai, he was very angry and assigned officials from Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to deal with the corruption case. Zhao Wei, the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, handed over the evidence and the people to be convicted to them, assisted them in collecting evidence, and then escorted the prisoners to Beijing for trial with them. As for Zeng Shilang, another deputy envoy, he had to lead Jiangnan officials and craftsmen to strengthen and rebuild the problematic embankment before the arrival of this year's high tide to avoid a catastrophe.

As the envoy of the Qincha, the king of Guangping wrote to resign because of his health. The emperor gently appeased him, but did not agree to his request, but let him continue to sit in the Shanghai officialdom, in case there was any bold and powerful place, and the background of the officials who bullied the case was not prominent enough, and deliberately couldn't get along with them; Or there is a fool who has eaten the heart of a bear and a leopard, and the desire for profit is consumed, and at such a fatal moment, he has to drag Zeng Shilang back, delusionally thinking that he can be greedy for the silver for repairing the embankment. And the silver, of course, came from the property of the officials who were confiscated.

The emperor's decree allowed the king of Guangping to stay in Jiading to recuperate, and also gave him the west garden of the palace, and a number of precious medicinal materials. Considering that his body is tired, and it is rare to meet a reliable good doctor, it is natural that the body is recuperated and recuperated - it is difficult to say whether this article has the credit of the Empress Dowager Jiang's help--as the responsibility of the Qin Cha will be lowered. But in order to prevent delays, the emperor found a new deputy for King Guangping - King Fenyang.

This King of Fenyang is none other than the noble man who helped speak for the ancestors and grandchildren of the Zhang family and hit Zhao Jiong's arrogance when the old county prince was buried more than ten years ago. He was originally the son of the king of Fenyang County, his father and ancestors have passed away, according to the law of the dynasty clan, his title was reduced to "Hou", and he should be called the Marquis of Fenyang. However, because the old lady and the princess of Fenyang are still there, the plaque of the palace has not changed, and his home is still called "Fenyang Palace", and he has become a somewhat embarrassing "the nobleman of the Fenyang Palace". But in Jiading, his blood relationship with the royal family is the closest, and he is the leader of the Gao clan in Jiading.

The year before last, King Ying rebelled against the party and caused chaos in the south of the Yangtze River, and attacked the prince and the prince of Guangping. He didn't know it at first, but when he heard that the prince was in danger, he panicked for a while. It's a pity that in order to prevent him from getting in the way, the rebel party put the Fenyang palace under house arrest in advance. He didn't dare to risk the lives of his family, so he could only do it in a hurry. When the news came from Beijing and the prince returned to the palace safely, he immediately changed his attitude and commanded the palace guards to control the rebels who were responsible for monitoring the palace, and helped the officers and soldiers to encircle and suppress the fleeing rebels. Although he only made a little merit, and there was still a little fear and speculation, after the emperor ascended the throne, while strictly guarding his own brothers, he was promoted to his title and let him get back the title of the former king of Fenyang.

Hearing that he was added to the Qincha team, King Guangping and the others were very calm. This King of Fenyang is quite reliable, although sometimes he is a little weaker, but he has never been on a business trip on the whole. He has been sticking to Jiading for many years, and he is a little tired of the officials who built the dam in private, even if he doesn't know the details, he has heard a little rumor, and he is more familiar with the local people, which is somewhat helpful to the case.

Neither the emperor nor the king of Quang Binh were worried that he would collude with those officials and get involved in a major corruption case. First, as a clan, he has never interfered in local government affairs; Second, he lived in Jiading for a long time, thousands of hectares of fertile land in the house, all over Susong, even the ancestral graves of generations are here, doing tricks and feet on the seaside dam, if something happens, wouldn't it bury the ancestral family business? He's not that stupid. In fact, all the members of the Gao clan in Jiading hated the officials who were greedy for the silver for dam repair. Even if there is no problem with the embankment in Jiading, they don't appreciate it. Who will only have land in Jiading? Many people are still buying properties in Nanhui and Jiaxing, and there are also many who participate in the business of Western goods. Once there is a tidal disaster, won't they lose all their money? The king of Fenyang received the holy decree and came to encourage him to strictly deal with those offending officials, and there was an endless stream of clan elders and peers. The king of Fenyang finally escaped and rushed to Hangzhou to meet the king of Guangping and listen to his teachings.

King Guangping told him everything he knew, handed over the relevant documents and materials to him, and ordered his staff to leave with King Fenyang. He himself planned to stay in Hangzhou for a while longer, and then return to Jiading when the prisoners were escorted to Beijing, so as not to be pestered and pleaded. The king of Fenyang and he were cousins, and they had a good relationship, so they didn't say much, and they went back to Jiading with people and things. As for King Guangping not returning immediately according to the meaning of the holy decree, he didn't care, but just left a message, saying that he would send someone to clean the West Garden of Jiading Palace.

Sent away the king of Fenyang, and the king of Guangping can be said to be light without incident. Although the name of the envoy was still retained, the emperor had relieved him of his official duties in the holy decree, and he could rest and recuperate with peace of mind. It is not impossible to return to Jiading Palace, the house in Xiyuan has been rebuilt for less than five years, it is still new, the garden scenery is also good, and it will be very comfortable to live there. Jiading is now no less prosperous than Hangzhou, and Hangzhou has lived for three months, and it is a little tired. However, after careful consideration, King Guangping still preferred to stay in Hangzhou for a little longer, at least, until he had taken the medicine and his health had improved. If he returns to Jiading immediately and stays in the palace, the people in the palace may report the details of his treatment to the palace. Although King Guangping trusted his younger brother, the prince Gao Zhen hoped that he could be more wary of others.

Their father and son stayed in the garden peacefully, and thirty percent of the attachés followed Zhao Wei and Zeng Shilang away, and another forty percent followed the king of Fenyang to leave. Now the rest of the guards, in addition to the guards in charge of security, are the palace attendants. The garden was much quieter. Originally, Zhang was a person who liked to be quiet, but now she was restless, hesitating whether to resign to King Guangping.

Zhao Wei received the order to assist the officials of Dali Temple and the Criminal Department in handling the case, and to help escort the prisoners back to Beijing after they were finished. The Zhang family and Zhao Xiu went south with him, so what now? Do you follow him back to the Marquis Mansion in the capital? The problem is that he is now on official business, and his trip back to Beijing may be very rushed, probably not by canal, but by land. Zhang was acquainted with the king of Guangping, and was willing to sail south with him, but he was not very happy to go with strangers. Her body can't stand the bumps of day and night. In case she was unwell, the trip of the officials returning to Beijing was slowed down, and it would be discredited to Zhao Wei's reputation.

But if they don't follow back to Beijing, they will be left in Jiangnan. When I went south, I had the idea of not separating from Zhao Wei. Now that Zhao Wei is about to return to Beijing, what's the point of them staying in the south? Originally, they acted with the father and son of the king of Guangping, and they were not too lonely, but the king of Guangping planned to stay in Hangzhou for a few more days, and then transfer to Jiading to recuperate, but they were afraid that they might not return to Beijing in three or five months. Zhang and Zhao Xiu can't always live on them, right? Although Fengxian's hometown is not as prosperous as Hangzhou, Jiading and other places, it is still the hometown, and the family business and clan are here. Their grandparents have lived there for more than ten years, and they are used to it.

Zhao Wei wanted to act separately from King Guangping, and Zhang and Zhao Xiu seemed to have no reason to live in the same garden with King Guangping's father and son. Therefore, the Zhang family thought about moving out, or they would go back to Fengxian's hometown directly. Zhao Xiu felt that if Zhao Wei was not at home, whether they moved out of the garden or went back to their hometown directly, they might be annoyed to death by the people who came to the door to intercede. Living with the king of Guangping, I can avoid these people. Even if I'm a little embarrassed, I can't care about it so much.

Zhang listened to his granddaughter's words and was quite jealous. Thinking about it, there is still the prefect of Mi Province to take care of him in Hangzhou, and he is with the father and son of King Guangping, and he is not afraid that someone will be entangled. Back in Fengxian, although he had a friendship with Tao Cheng, the magistrate, the latter also had to assist in repairing the embankment, so he might not be distracted. When the clansmen and relatives asked for help, she couldn't refuse them all, but she was afraid that she would really be entangled. Not to mention, just the mother and son of the Zhao family, as well as the third girl of Lu, are not fuel-efficient lamps. She quickly made a decision to continue to live with the father and son of King Quang Binh. When the king of Quang Binh leaves, her grandparents and grandchildren will follow. If the dam case was not interrogated for a day, she would not return to her old house for a day, and it would be a big deal to go to Jiading to stay for a few days. If you can't enter the palace, you can still enter the Fenyang Palace.

Zhao Xiu was very happy with her grandmother's decision. Living in Hangzhou is much more interesting than living in Fengxian. Nowadays, the shape of Hangzhou is gradually becoming clearer. Although the political envoy of Zhejiang was not arrested, he was demoted because he was suspected of spreading false rumors and slandering the reputation of the prince, and because he was also a relative of the political envoy of Suzhou, one of the main culprits in the embankment case, and reported to him and hindered the investigation of the case. He was relegated to the southwest to be a fellow intellectual, and he didn't know if he could adapt to the dangerous mountains and rivers, but he was fortunate to be able to keep his official body, and his "illness" was suddenly cured, and he began to become a slave among the sellers and prepare to take office. The other officials involved in the case were in charge of the presiding officer who came down from Beijing, but the king of Guangping was relieved of his heavy responsibility, and their families no longer only stared at the king of Guangping and the people around him. Mi, Hong, and Gao finally got out of the big trouble, and Zhao Xiu resumed contact with his new friends.

Although they experienced a small turmoil, the two girls Hong and Gao did not complain about Zhao Xiu, but happily came to the tea party, and took her and Mi Yingzhi to go out for a spring tour on the Shangsi Festival, allowing Zhao Xiu to see many famous places in Hangzhou. Zhao Xiu drew a lot of sketches, and even borrowed the collection of paintings by the elders of the Hong family's family to learn to paint and practice, which benefited a lot.

The twilight of spring has passed, and the spring flowers are gone. When the early summer of April came, King Guangping's body had already improved after being carefully recuperated by Dr. Ye. Dr. Ye felt that he could withstand the effects of the tiger and wolf medicine, so he planned to heal his eyes. King Guangping planned to move to the Jiading Palace and begin his treatment in a more stable environment.

Zhao Wei has already completed his work in Shanghai Mansion and is ready to escort the prisoners involved in the case to Beijing together with the officials sent by the Criminal Department and Dali Temple. He rushed to Hangzhou to say goodbye to his grandmother and sister, and by the way, reported the latest situation to the king of Guangping. After listening carefully, King Guangping saw that things were going smoothly, so he also relieved his heart. Zhao Wei went to see his grandmother and sister again, said goodbye, and went to see his cousin Mi Xingzhi again, but unfortunately he couldn't see Mi Yingzhi.

Zhao Wei left Hangzhou and went north, and Zhao Xiu and Zhang also began to pack up, bid farewell to their newly made friends, and went north to Jiading with the father and son of King Guangping. R1152
