Changlin Village, a haunting place.

Although this place made her feel that familiar warmth, and there were people and things that made her heart and mind, after only five days in the village, Hu Niu chose to leave.

She is not herding cattle and tigers now, nor is she Miss Lin, the official of the Yin family of the Lin Mansion, but the Qincha Nanhai patrol who is the emperor's branch of the world, and naturally she can't stay in Changlin Village indefinitely like before.

The reason why she chose to leave was that she had an imperial mission, and secondly, her brother had a very important matter entrusted to her, and now she was going to Guangzhou for her brother to congratulate Wang Bai on his birthday.

After calculating the time, she led the team directly to the city of Guangzhou, and then went directly to Luzon.

It was during this time that a news came from Guangzhou: Chen Rui, the governor of Guangdong, Li Tongzhi of Leizhou, and General Liu Shen were directly dismissed from their official positions by the imperial court.

Previously, she was jointly impeached by Guangdong Governor Chen Rui, Leizhou Li Tongzhi and Liu Shenjiang, and because of the unauthorized transfer of Leizhou Wei, she was charged with "overstepping".

When she learned about this, she was not worried at all.

After all, she didn't get nothing that time, but presented an ancient book about Pan Maoming. Although Pan Maoming's reputation is not very loud, he is a powerful Taoist priest after all, and he should not be punished for her crimes.

But she never expected that the emperor not only did not punish her for the crime of transferring Leizhou Wei without authorization, but also directly removed Chen Rui, the governor of Guangdong, Li Tongzhi of Leizhou, and Liu Shenjiang.

As for whether Jiang Xiangdong, the magistrate of Shicheng, was impeached by her that day, it seems that it has become less important. This kind of seven-grade sesame official's excerpt can't reach the emperor's desk at all, even if Xu Jie wants to take the opportunity to punish her, I'm afraid Xu Jie won't dare to go against the holy will.

"How dare you follow the destiny of heaven...... I really don't know whether to live or die! ”

Lan Daoxing was no longer nostalgic for the comfortable life in Changlin Village, but took the two Taoist children to follow the tiger girl on the road, and he was extremely disdainful of the news that the three people were dismissed.

A few days later, the group finally arrived in the city of Guangzhou.

With the full opening of the sea ban in Guangdong, this ancient city with a history of thousands of years has been revitalized, attracting wealthy merchants from the provinces of Daming, and sometimes you will see some blonde and blue-eyed figures.

Maritime trade was in full swing, bringing many merchants from Portugal and the South Seas. With the benefits of both sides, trade has become more frequent, which has undoubtedly promoted the development of all walks of life in the city.

After the expansion to the south, the city of Guangzhou has risen in size and population to a new level, and it is already the third largest city worthy of the name of the Ming Dynasty.

The political envoy of Guangdong is already full of lights in front of the door.

Zuo Bu's political envoy Wang Bai ushered in his 60th birthday, and at this important point in his life, he also chose to carry out the operation, and posted early to invite many officials and friends.

It's just that this festive day is clouded with a layer of haze.

Zhang Zhen, the governor of Fujian and Guangzhou and the governor of Guangdong, suddenly accepted the eighth concubine, and also chose to organize this wedding banquet today, and happened to bump into Wang Bai's birthday banquet.

But regardless of Zhang Zhen's true intentions, this move is undoubtedly for the sake of the officials below. They went to the banquet here, but they inevitably offended that side, which made the local officials in Guangdong face a big problem.

Since today is not a day off, the banquet between the two parties is naturally arranged in the evening. Seeing that the time is coming, officials have begun to sigh for a long time, and many officials are still undecided.

The Guangzhou government and the political envoy are next to each other, and the correspondence is not too noticeable.

When Lei Changjiang came from the Guangzhou Mansion, he found that Huang Hui, the commander of the Guangdong Metropolitan Government, and Zhang Yue, the deputy envoy of the Guangdong Patrol, were already here, so he also followed the two to give salutes.

Thanks to Lin Haoran's efforts to snatch some authority from Guo Pu, the secretary of the ministry, during his external inspection last year, he secured Huang Hui, the commander of the Guangdong capital, and others, so that their power in Guangdong increased unabated.

"Zhiqing, what do you think of Zhang Zhen's move?" Wang Bai met the three of them in the study and asked directly.

Lei Changjiang picked up the teacup and replied seriously: "Zhang Zhen is not only testing us, but also officially establishing a faction in Guangdong, and he is already planning to do it with us!" ”

After so many years of experience, coupled with his background as an authentic Beijing official, he has a more sensitive sense of politics and can easily see the essence of things.

Huang Hui sighed softly, and said pessimistically: "Zhang Zhen's such a perverse behavior, I'm afraid the rumors are true, Xu Ge really wrote to him!" ”

"Zhang Zhen is from Jiangxi, how could Xu Ge Lao write a letter to him?" Zhang Yue listened to this inference, but questioned it with suspicion.

Lei Changjiang put down the teacup gently, but agreed with Huang Hui's inference: "I'm afraid that the matter is eight or nine, otherwise Zhang Zhen wouldn't dare to do this, so he would be nakedly and openly arguing with us!" ”

knew that Wang Bai was holding a birthday banquet today, but Zhang Zhen suddenly accepted the eighth concubine room, and chose it today, which was indeed the meaning of the ring.

If he hadn't received Xu Jie's support in the court, he would have never dared to adopt this method. Not to mention that they have Yin Lin Haoran of Shuntian Mansion behind them, and there is also Wu Shan, the head of the household department, and Zhang Zhen, a governor of Fujian and Guangzhou, has no strength to call the board at all.

Huang Hui also agreed: "It is true that Zhang Zhen is from Jiangxi, and it is also a fact that he had dealings with the Yan family in the past. It's just that now that the Yan family has fallen, if Elder Xu Ge still holds on to these things, then you will underestimate Shoufu's bearing, and you won't understand this court at all. ”

"Huang Gong is right, the lower officials have been taught!" Zhang Yue arched his hand at Huang Hui, turned to look at Wang Bai and asked, "Lord Fantai, what should we do now?" ”

Wang Bai sighed softly and was about to speak, but a henchman hurriedly walked in from outside, and respectfully arched his hand: "Master, Miss Lin is here!" ”

Hearing this title, Zhang Yue was obviously stunned for a moment, but Lei Changjiang and the others knew that this Miss Lin must be a tiger girl.

"Huh...... But I don't want Miss Lin to remember the old man's birthday! When Wang Bai learned that the tiger girl was coming, the gloom in his heart was immediately swept away, and he stood up and wanted to greet him in person.

Wang Bai knew that Hu Niu was not only Lin Haoran's own sister, but also the Nanyang patrol who was also the emperor's errand, whether it was because of Lin Haoran's reason or Hu Niu's status as a messenger, he couldn't slack off.

Huang Hui and the others watched Wang Bai leave his seat and walk towards the gate, and they also followed. They also know that the identity of the tiger girl is not what it used to be, and they are ready to welcome the first female patrol of the Ming Dynasty, their favorite sister of the big backer.
