Just out of March, there are many large and small ships moored on the Zhangjiawan wharf here. It is the most important wharf at the northern end of the thousand-mile Grand Canal, and Zhangjiawan is famous for its merchants, developed transportation and important strategic position, and is known as the "first wharf of the Grand Canal". Although it was looted by the Dongkou and most of the Huangdian restaurants were burned down when the Dongju invaded, as soon as the canal was unsealed, the war-torn wharf flourished again. From here, you can take a boat all the way down to Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Li Gonggong - Li Tianle and his entourage, who came all the way from Beijing, took an official ship, and now it is different from previous years, when he was 9,000 years old, the town guard eunuch took office, no matter what, it had to be accompanied by five or six official ships, one of which was to do the town guard and the servant who served the servant, and there was also a boat with accompanying stewards, cleaners, guards, etc., plus a few boats followed by the flag guard, anyway, all the way to the post with great fanfare, stay on the boundary, naturally there will be people to pay tribute to the ship with boxes.

But now it is different, after all, after the age of 9,000, the internal officials are extremely strictly constrained. In addition to recruiting people with great fanfare, it may even bring trouble to yourself. So Li Tianle naturally behaved with his tail between his legs. Therefore, after arriving in Zhangjiawan, I looked at the burned Zhangjiawan, but regretted the catastrophe suffered here, and then just hurried silently. At this moment, he got on the boat and rested for a day, and half of the fatigue of the journey had disappeared, so the Qingke played cards on the boat for recreation, and also invited Li Tianle to go, but he all refused.

It's not that he doesn't like it, but because he has something in his heart, and this time he took up the post of lieutenant guard in Shandong, and he has a special feeling in his heart.

Li Tianle, who is over fifty years old, entered the palace during the Wanli period, and has been in the palace for decades, originally he thought that he could not have any great success in his life, but he was just an internal official in the palace, but later the king succeeded to the throne, as the old man of the palace, he leaned on the big tree of the prince, and he had a bright future in the palace.

But he didn't expect that a sudden will would let him go to Shandong to be a town guard lieutenant. Before leaving, he had met with the prince in private, and the prince only said four words.

"There is fire and virtue!"

With these words in his heart, Li Tianle couldn't be happy, even if he was in the palace, he knew what these words meant, it was the prince of King De, who was known as the "True Monarch of Fire Virtue".

It's not a claim, it's just!

If it weren't for Huo De Zhenjun descending to earth, who would have been able to burn away tens of thousands of wolves and tigers with the power to fight tigers?

Although there are rumors in the mouths of the people outside, he always hears some gossip in the palace, but in fact, what gossip is there, it is clearly ...... Well, the facts.

"Hey!"

"Why is my father-in-law sighing here alone?"

The words that came from behind him were exchanged for a long sigh.

"Is my father-in-law worried about what will happen after he arrives in Jinan?"

Walking to Gonggong Li's body, Zhou Shining said with a smile. Although the Qing official who is a mid-ranking official as a loser seems to be a little humiliated, he doesn't feel any discomfort, after all, a mid-ranking official is also an official.

"Hey,"

let out a long sigh again, Li Changle couldn't be happy.

"You don't know."

With a long sigh, Li Changle said.

"That prince of Dewang burned tens of thousands of Dongyu with a fire, and also attracted the heavenly fire to burn Yue Tuo into charcoals, and the corpses were all sent to the capital. Go to Shandong and deal with such people. It's not ......"

"It's not that the shell lang is playing the lantern and looking for......"

After taking the owner's words, Zhou Shining smiled.

"The so-called theory of gods and ghosts is itself a foolish people's self-deception, how can it be true, besides, even if it is true......"

Lowering his voice, the corners of Zhou Shining's lips lifted lightly.

"As long as he is not an enemy of him, how can he easily offend the proprietor?"

"This ......"

Looking around, Li Changle frowned in annoyance.

"Do you know, before I left Beijing, I once went to see the prince, he didn't say anything, only told me to do a good job, but when I came, he said four words! Do you know those four words? ”

"Four words?"

His eyes narrowed into a slit, and Zhou Shining smiled.

"It's just a fire virtue, even if it is passed on by a fool, it is inevitable that someone will take it seriously, so, the proprietor, are you worried that you will not be able to do an errand in Jinan, and the prince will blame it at that time?"

Nodding rather distressedly, Li Changle let out a sullen "um".

First, this is the "Three Flavors True Fire" of "Huo De Zhenjun", on the one hand, there is the pressure from the prince's side, Li Changle even feels that he is a town guard, what kind of fat difference is there, it is clear that no one wants to go before it is his turn, and if he is not careful, his head may not be saved.

Looking at the bitter look on the owner's face, Zhou Shining asked rhetorically.

"Blame the princess? In fact, it's nothing, even if he blames, then he has to wait for half a year, and he can't find a reason to abolish the prince of Dewang as soon as he arrives there, and lock him up in the high wall of the central capital. ”

"That ......"

Zhou Shining's reminder made Li Changle look at him and ask.

"Then in Mr. Zhou's opinion, what should I do about this matter?"

"Wait and see, this matter seems to be difficult, but in fact it is easy to do, if the prince of Nade is domineering, he does not need to wait for the east to take the initiative, he will get out the evidence of the crime himself, but if he is cautious, even if the owner has a heart, I am afraid he may not be able to find out anything. So, the key is still on him......"

Although what Zhou Shining said was the truth, Li Changle still said with some annoyance.

"That's the truth, but the problem is that this errand has to be done."

"It's going to be done, but there's going to be time. Let's ......"

He lowered his voice to give the proprietor an idea, and it was a long time before he spoke.

"So, next, let's see what King Tade does."

"What did King Tak do? What will he do? ”

Although Li Changle was still surprised the day before, when the ship arrived in Shandong the next day, the ship was only temporarily docked on the dock, and someone reported that it was "the chief official of the Dewang Mansion asked to see him".

"It's coming!"

Li Changle couldn't help but glance at Zhou Shining, only to see that he continued to play chess with the other Qingke as if he hadn't heard it, so he ordered.

"Let him in."

Chen Changgeng, who was led into the cabin by the little eunuch, said as soon as he saw Li Changle.

"Chen Changgeng, the chief official of the Dewang Mansion, has seen Gonggong Li."

"The chief official is too polite, the miscellaneous family is just an internal official, how can the chief official travel hundreds of miles?"

Seeing that Gonggong Li was so polite, Chen Changgeng was naturally even more polite.

"Oh, my father-in-law is polite, my father-in-law is a lieutenant official under the emperor's order, if it weren't for the inconvenience of the king to go out of the city, my king will definitely go out of the city to greet him, in fact, His Royal Highness the prince was originally planning to come over, but because the ancestral tomb of the German domain was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty, His Royal Highness the prince has been repairing the ancestral tomb recently, and if it is disrespectful, please forgive me......"

What the!

Did the prince go to repair the king's tomb?

His eyes opened slightly, Li Changle couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart while being surprised, and a different color also flashed in Zhou Shining's eyes on the side......
