Early that morning, Jia Cong received a letter from Lu Lianxian, the governor of the river, the Daotai Wuzhou who patrolled the river in Huaiyang, and Liu Zhiyuan, the eunuch who supervised the river.

Looking at the route and schedule stipulated by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, not only was it not too late, but it was also a few days early, Jia Cong immediately ordered, hired a merchant ship, and asked the entourage to carry the salute over, and at this time it was necessary to take the waterway.

Then he went to the opposite side to say goodbye to Qin Zhong, who knew that Qin Zhong went out to the market, and the old housekeeper Qin Tong also followed, the sneaky Jia Cong felt relieved, and when he entered the door, he saw Qin Keqing smoking clothes on the lavender cage, and the house was full of fragrance, Jia Cong came over and said: "It was Lord Zonghe who came to ask last night?" ”

The Governor of the River is generally referred to as the General River.

"Hmm." Qin Keqing is not salty or light, and the two girls retreated, "The first time I can't come, there are always two chances, what about Master Zonghe of Sanpin, junior brother, shouldn't I waste my time...... Maybe once someone's wife dies, I can be a grandmother again, and I will be old in a few years. ”

"Nope." Jia Cong shook his head and said.

"Why not?" Qin Keqing's face was surprised: "I am Heli, and now I am innocent, the younger brother still has to keep filial piety, and when the filial piety period is over, the senior sister has to have a hope, right?" ”

This is really difficult to answer, if she used to be the daughter of an official family, she can't be a concubine, and the daughter of an official family is a concubine, which is strictly forbidden by the imperial court, but if she has a private meeting with herself, wouldn't she even have the status of a concubine? So this excuse doesn't work well.

Qin Keqing's eyes flashed slyly, it was really rare to see the appearance of his junior brother eating it.

"Senior sister might as well follow me." Jia Cong said brightly, and immediately held up Qin Keqing's jade hand as he spoke: "You compare, in terms of age, he is old and immortal, senior sister is beautiful and fragrant, aren't you disgusting with him?" In terms of the three lists, I am the first first, and he is only the second. In terms of official quality, although he is a third-grade, several levels higher than me, but I have more power than him, and the official is one level higher than him, which is not common here in the imperial history. When I reached his age, I would have tasted it a long time ago. ”

Qin Keqing sneered, Jia Cong hated the root of his teeth and kissed it, this senior sister is soft and elegant, how can she look at it.

However, when Jia Cong went to the left to kiss, Senior Sister Qin's head was biased to the right, and when she went to the right to kiss, her head was biased to the left, and she was not allowed to succeed.

"Senior sister is really good at seducing people......" Jia Cong buried her head in her chest arch, which stabbed Qin Keqing's vital point, "Good junior brother, spare me." ”

Qin Ye's bones were not cold, although Jia Cong really wanted to correct Qin Keqing on the spot, which made his heart angry, but he also knew that this time was not appropriate.

"Where am I hooking you?" Qin Keqing bit her lip and said, "You were next to me in the middle of the night with a female Taoist priest, didn't you deliberately anger me?" I'm annoyed what's wrong......"

"It's not a female Taoist, it's a Buddhist person who leads the practice, she doesn't look down on me, don't worry." Jia Cong also felt that he owed Qin Keqing a lot, it stands to reason that Qin Keqing's personality and appearance are blessings to marry as a wife, but because of that layer of uncle-nephew relationship, he will never be able to break the fence and shackles. It was this woman who had been silently paying for him in the early years, although it was insignificant, but after making her wait for so many years, her heart of stone would melt, which could make her as happy as possible, which could be regarded as a kind of compensation.

As for robbing with herself, of course she couldn't let it go, Jia Cong and her hugged silently for a while, and didn't hear any difficulties, so they said goodbye and made an appointment to meet in the future.

Out of Qinghe, Miaoyu also noticed that the relationship between Jia Cong and Qin Keqing was unusual, but she didn't know that Qin Keqing used to be Ning Guofu's grandmother, and no one had mentioned it to her, and she was not interested, otherwise, I am afraid that she would despise Jia Cong in her heart.

And say that the boat line for a day, close to Shanyang, both sides of the canal, as far as the eye can see, are a plain, seven-tenths of the territory of Huai'an belongs to the plain area, but there is green in some places, seedlings and mulberry seedlings are green in the spring breeze, some places are a piece of yellow mud, the southwest of this Shanyang is Hongze Lake, China's fourth freshwater lake, Hongze Lake is connected with the Huai River, the spring flood is the peach blossom flood flood, the flood season is over and rushed back, it can be seen that the refugees walk in the wild.

When they landed, this kind of scene made them even more silent, this Shanyang south to north of the chamber of commerce, all the way there are walking places, stalls, merchants, at the moment looks a little bleak.

Walking on the plain road, someone in the crowd shouted at this moment: "The Qingtian Lord of Shanyang has opened a warehouse for disaster relief, go quickly, go quickly, I heard about what kind of work for relief in a few days, let's also eat." ”

These people are all in the area of Hongze Lake, when the flood broke out, many people were happy: "Amitabha, the old man of the blue sky!" The imperial court gave Shanyang a living Baolong map! ”

Jia Cong remembered that Jingxiang and Anhui belonged to the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, and Huangmei Opera was developed because of the flood, and people from Hubei ran to Anhui, so later the chairman said that "Huangmei Opera was washed by floods".

In the matter of the betel nut king, Jia Cong was ready to reconcile with Liu Zhiyuan, he was in charge of the three provinces, and he could handle it. In addition, one of the things he expected well was that the silver in the household department was not enough at all, even if it was enough, there would not be much below, which was the reason why Jia Cong had to accept bribes and even ask for bribes.

When bribery becomes the default unspoken rule of officialdom, no one violates it, he can play under this unspoken rule, and this will not be a problem.

Of course, what has an impact is that Jia Cong's clear name and straight name will be temporarily stained, but when the river is successfully controlled, everything will be reversed.

Wu Si once lamented in "Unspoken Rules - The Real Game of Chinese History" that this kind of unspoken rule will not disappear regardless of ancient or modern, so in a democratic society, the subsistence allowance is the convenience of the related households, and the officials in terms of fertilizer and tea should also give convenience to the related households, if someone violates the rules, they will be eliminated from the game.

For example, Emperor Yongzheng, who has struggled all his life, compromised with officials in raising incorruptible silver, but he couldn't clean up the unspoken rules of officialdom in his life.

And at this moment, not far ahead, there is a person who violates the rules of the game.

……

"300,000 yuan, this is the appropriation for Huai'an from the old Wang Ge of the household department, signed by the two principals."

In a waterfront pavilion in Fucheng, Wuzhou of Huaiyang Daotai ate a few Huai'an dishes, chewing slowly: "Wuhai, how much money do you need to pay Beijing officials a year?" ”

"Sir." Wu Haiyin smiled predictably: "There are more than a dozen people who sign the cabinet context book and the general administration department handles the folds, each with a few hundred taels, the governor and the governor have a thousand taels per month, the feudal department and the secretary have a few thousand taels, the officials have a few thousand taels, and the celebrant has a few thousand taels...... After calculation, there are no less than 30,000 yuan a year, and the grain storage roads in Shaanxi and Shanxi are not lower than 50,000......"

"Listen to ......" Wu Zhou was compassionate: "Li Zhixian, won't you take some money and it's over?" Why bother to pass it to the judge? What should I do if I can't hold it down? What are you doing? Li Yuchang, lying 'groove' Ni'ma! ”

Wu Zhou took the case, and lifted Li Yuchang's collar viciously, Wu Hai brought people around, and Li Yuchang outside the door followed Li Xiang, not only did not save the master, but brought a strong strip of cloth in, Wu Zhou made a look, several people pressed down Li Yuchang, and took the strip of cloth to his neck.

"Wu Zhou, Li will never give in...... Ahem......" Li Yuchang struggled: "Assassination...... Imperial Court Officials...... You, ahem, ahem, ahem......"

"Who knows? Li Yuchang failed to help control the river, hanged himself, and committed suicide in fear of crime! Wu Zhou patted the angry Li Yuchang on the cheek: "You don't want to be promoted and make a fortune?" Then don't get in our way! ”

"Huaiyin is hungry, the meal is in the drifting mother, the time is not good, and the crotch is humiliated.

Ignorance, who counts everything? The fire burned and the body was a tiger.

Secretly out of Chen Cang, Ding Qin attacked Chu. The well pulled out Zhao and feigned abandonment.

…… can argue a lot, but can't deal with yourself. Weiyang was punished, what can be done?

Alack! Han Xin, Han Xin, bow to me! ”

After Wu Zhou finished facing Han Xin's temple gate, Wu Zhou Li Xiang and the others had already disposed of Li Yuchang's body, pretending to commit suicide in fear of crime, Wu Zhou smiled and said: "Go!" Let's go and greet Lord Yushi, who patrols the three provinces! ”

Li Yuchang was blinded, and the protruding pupils were a silent accusation of this world by him, a clean official.

Behind the statue of Han Xin, a bloody letter, quietly silent.
