An hour later, Zhou Yi'an came to the inn.

Directly found Zhou Heng, Boss Xue dragged Zhou Yi'an, and kept asking in surprise:

"You're a great kid, how do you know we live here?"

Zhou Yi'an grabbed his hair and said with a smile:

"Actually, I don't know, I just told Lord Liu that I just saw Uncle Shi in the courtyard, and then Lord Liu told me to look for it at a nearby inn, and I saw the carriage and horse of Huichun Hall in front of the door, so I came in to inquire."

Zhou Heng looked at Zhou Yi'an, "What did your family say?" ”

Zhou Yi'an hurriedly put away the smile on his face, took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Zhou Heng.

"Two days ago, my family has sent a letter to Lord Zhang Fuling, it seems that Lord Zhang is very supportive of my family's approach, so we came here on the last day, and brought the witness and the corpse with us."

Zhou Heng opened the letterhead, and there were a lot of people inside.

The gist of it is, don't worry about him, he has a lot of feelings in the past ten days, since he came to Tongzhou, he doesn't want to be slaughtered like in Qingping County, and he also remembers what Zhou Heng said, if you want to benefit more people, you must make a difference, you must offend some people to make achievements, let him take care of Liu Xiuer, and let the prince not worry, don't meet him, so as not to get into trouble.

Zhou Heng put the letterhead in his heart, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that they have understood a lot of people's sufferings these days, but these are only some superficial problems, and it is really necessary to solve the problem that farmers are not hungry, and it is not effective to punish one or two corrupt officials.

Zhou Heng wrote a reply letter, instructing him to complete the file, especially the relevant investigations, to play together, and to prepare two copies, one directly reported to Beiping Mansion, and the other directly to Zhang Fuling, so that it can be safe.

Zhou Heng handed the letterhead to Zhou Yi'an and said:

"Give this letter to your family, those two people from Lingshan Village, stay with him for the time being, at least someone will protect his safety, if there is any news, you can go to the capital to report the news, the Huichun Hall will be open in a few days, and it is safest to go there to deliver the news."

Zhou Yi'an nodded, but Boss Xue quit.

"People are left to Lord Liu, won't I be useless?"

Zhou Hengbai glanced at him, "Temporary, just temporary, Lord Liu didn't reuse a county order today, people will naturally have it, but they need to get through the difficulties in front of him, now his safety is the first, and when everything is safe here, he will naturally return the person to you, not a carriage." ”

Boss Xue pursed his lips and didn't say anything more, Zhou Heng left some necessary medicines for Zhou Yi'an, especially badger oil for frostbite.

Zhou Yi'an was surprised, and quickly knelt on the ground, his eyes were a little red.

"Thank you Uncle for your concern, I have indeed suffered a lot of sins in the past ten days, the frostbite on my hands is fine, my family adults don't talk about my hands, my feet are seriously frostbitten, after all, I have to visit farmers, I have been standing in the snow for a long time, my shoes and socks are soaked, and frostbite is inevitable."

Zhou Heng nodded, "Okay, you shouldn't come out for too long, go back quickly, and I'll ask Xiu'er to make him a pair of special shoes later, so that he won't be afraid of muddy water." ”

Zhou Yi'an didn't dare to stay longer, and thanked Zhou Heng for saying goodbye.

Zhou Heng put away his things and called Boss Xue to return to Beijing directly.

......

At nightfall, Zhou Heng returned to the Shizi Mansion.

As soon as he entered his courtyard, he heard a sound in the room, it seemed that there were a lot of people, he turned around and glanced at Boss Xue, and entered the room with a puzzled expression.

At a glance, the people were really together, Zhu Yunmo, Pang Xiao, Liu Xiuer and Su Xiaoxiao, the four of them sat in front of the charcoal basin and drank tea, Zhou Heng took off the big hat on his body, and stomped his feet before coming in.

When several people saw Zhou Heng coming back, they quickly stopped talking, and Liu Xiuer walked up to Zhou Heng with a worried face.

"Second brother, you're back, have you seen your brother?"

Zhou Heng nodded, smiled at Liu Xiu'er, rubbed his hands to absorb the temperature on the charcoal cage, and then said:

"I see that you are in a hurry, I have seen my eldest brother, but he is taking over, things are complicated, and there are a lot of officials to receive, so I didn't speak, Zhou Yi'an came over and passed the word, saying that he was going to investigate some things, and he had already told Master Zhang Fuling, and the two have been in correspondence."

Hearing Zhou Heng say this, Liu Xiuer was obviously relieved, and Zhou Heng slapped his thigh in a trance.

"By the way, there is another important thing not to say, if Xiu'er has time, make two pairs of sheepskin boots for Lord Liu, the snow in Tongzhou is big, you need to visit everywhere, although the official boots are beautiful but not worn, they are often wet when they come back, Lord Liu asked you to make two pairs of thick ones for him, remember that they are half a finger larger than usual."

Liu Xiu'er nodded hurriedly, she was the happiest with such an accurate demand, and hurriedly dragged Su Xiaoxiao to get up.

"Let the second brother talk to the son, let's prepare things, and you can help me do it."

Su Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, and she raised her hand and pointed to her nose.

"Me? Which eye do you see that I am a female red? ”

However, seeing Liu Xiu'er's anxious look, Su Xiaoxiao pursed her lips, frowned slightly, and said very reluctantly:

"Alright then, I'll go with you."

As soon as the words fell, Liu Xiu'er happily dragged Su Xiaoxiao away, but Su Xiaoxiao turned around and glared at Zhou Heng viciously.

This scene fell in the eyes of Zhu Yunmo and Pang Xiao, and seeing that the people were gone, Zhu Yunmo quickly got up and asked with a puzzled face:

"People are far away, tell me what the hell is going on?"

Zhou Heng took the handkerchief handed over by Qu Ziping, wiped his face and hands, and Zhou Heng cautiously ordered:

"Ziping went to guard the door, Xiu'er, don't leave and turn back, don't let them know about this matter for the time being."

Qu Ziping nodded and quickly ran away.

Zhou Heng sat down, and then he recounted what he heard after arriving in Tongzhou City last night, as well as all kinds of things that Liu Renli took over today.

Boss Xue added from time to time that Zhu Yunmo and Pang Xiao couldn't believe everything like this, and their eyes widened and they listened carefully.

Zhou Heng said at the end, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

“...... After that, in ten days, Lord Liu Renli visited four counties and did a first-hand investigation, whether it was a case or a snow disaster, he was already in office in Tongzhou at this moment, and a total of ten squires and officials were involved in the two things, and the relevant files and evidence have been reported, I think Lord Zhang Fuling will deal with it. ”

Zhu Yunmo nodded, but the expression on his face was not much relaxed, and he glanced at Zhou Heng.

"Such a start, although there is a shock to the local officials, but the future government affairs will also be difficult, Xiao Bo to find out, this Bo Tong knows who it is."

Zhou Heng raised his eyes to look at Zhu Yunmo, but he didn't expect Zhu Yunmo to be similar to what he thought, the whole Tongzhou looked peaceful, whether it was the reception of Liu Renli or the previous placement, it seemed that they were all in order, with their own rules.

The previous governor has been away for more than two months, so thinking about it, during this time, it is this Bo Tongzhi who is in charge of government affairs, and he can control Chu Huanpin, who is greedy for ink at will, and Wang Xianzhong, who is meritorious, this person is by no means a simple person, he is not afraid of 10,000 in case, or investigate it is reliable.

Pang Xiao didn't have any complaints, and hurriedly exited the room, Zhou Heng looked at Zhu Yunmo and put down the teacup.

"Shizi, how is the construction of Beishan and the Rejuvenation Hall?"

Zhu Yunmo smiled when he heard this, and moved towards Zhou Heng.

"Beishan has just started construction, but the road has already seen some appearances, don't say you guessed right, these farmers on the village, work hard, and even the strong men go home to rest, the women and children in the family come to do it, and the children are all coming to move and lift, and look at the last section of the last section in four or five days."

Zhu Yunmo took out a badly worn drawing, threw it in front of Zhou Heng, pointed to it and said:

"The two workshops in Beishan will take some time, especially the large piece of glass you want, this is still being found, the capital doesn't know where there is a glass workshop, and I don't know much about the requirements, I want to wait for you to come back and talk about it." As for the rejuvenation hall, it was basically finished today, and Desheng left people there at night, saying that it could be disinfected tonight, and the operating room could be disinfected tomorrow, and it was waiting for the opening. ”

Zhou Heng nodded, as long as the Rejuvenation Hall is finished, these apprentices are all hands, even if they are not there, there is no problem with many routine operations.

"In this case, then the Rejuvenation Hall still has to open as soon as possible, as for the glass problem that the prince said, let Brother Xue deal with it, find someone who is familiar with the price comparison in the capital to follow him, whether it is making glazed products, or looking at pictures to ask for quality and price, Brother Xue is better at it."

Zhu Yunmo got up and walked back and forth twice, Zhou Heng looked at him, a little puzzled, what happened to this person when he said about opening?

Before Zhou Heng could ask, Zhu Yunmo stopped.

"The opening must be a little quiet, otherwise it will not be grand enough!"

Zhou Heng was stunned, "What movement?" ”
