In August of the second year of Chongning, after the collegial discussion of Zhongshu Province, Zhao Ji issued an edict that all state capitals and counties without actual official positions sent by the observation envoys were revoked and returned to the jurisdiction of the observation department at the road level. Although the difference between the two characters is one word, the meaning of the observation envoys can be very different, and the original duty of the observer envoys is only to inspect the achievements of local officials and supervise the law and discipline of local officials. It's just like an official, and if you encounter an official who violates the law and discipline, you can only report it to the imperial court. Inspectors, on the other hand, have the power to restrain officials.

The institutions and officials at the level of Song Dynasty Road (similar to a modern province) were supervised and marshaled. The prison divisions include: Cao Division (Transit Division), Xian Division (Prison Division), and Cang Division (Changping Division). Shuaisi, that is, the pacification division (Jingluo pacification division), the chief is the pacification envoy. As usual, the pacification envoy concurrently served as the commander of the Ma Bu Military Capital of the Forbidden Army Military Region and other military officials, and at the same time concurrently served as the magistrate or prefect of a certain prefecture or prefecture. The pacification envoy is also the leader of the forbidden army and the local governor, and his authority is relatively broad. In order to prevent the appeasement from causing harm to the excessive power, the pacification envoy must be supervised by the first-level supervisor of the road, and at the same time, he must be monitored by his subordinates, who can directly report the situation of the pacification envoy to the imperial court. The military, government, finance, and supervision powers at the road level are scattered, and there are no officials who have jurisdiction over each power. Now with the addition of the Observation Department of the Supervision and Governance, Song Yilu has faintly become a separation of powers. Of course, among the five powers, the economic strategy is the heaviest, and the other four divisions have similar status.

Of course, the minister of Zhongshu Province knew that the edict of the Holy Lord was to streamline the officials, but seven or eight out of ten were for the sake of the king. However, the official system of the Song Dynasty is really chaotic, and there are a lot of idle people, just like the observation of the state capitals and counties, they are all masters who do not work, and this move of the saint does put a large number of idle jobs to use, and it is also a good policy to set up observation departments to supervise the administration of officials. It is the province of Zhongshu that has no objection to the edict of the Holy Lord.

……

Shaded by bushes, swaying reeds and bamboos, boats moored on the shore, small bridges and flowing water, Wu Zhi slowly rode his horse to enjoy the scenery of this Jiangnan water town, behind him were dozens of guards dressed in civilian clothes and horses following closely, but Wang Jin and Luda were not among them. When he set off from the capital half a month ago, he learned that Luda didn't know how to ride a horse, so he had no choice but to leave Wang Jin to accompany him to hire a car and boat to travel.

Wu Zhi led the guards to gallop all the way, and at this time he had already arrived in Hangzhou, only a few miles away from Hangzhou City, and Wu Zhi slowed down the speed of his mount. While enjoying the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River, while thinking about his thoughts, according to Long Wu's letter, poppy seeds are not collected much, that is, enough to plant a few acres of land, although Wu Zhi is disappointed, there is no way, after all, poppies in this era belong to ornamental flowers and trees, no one has planted them in a large area, Long Wu can collect these is also doing his best, it seems that this year only in the palace planted, next year these few acres of poppies all leave flower seeds as seeds, and then planted in Wujiazhuang, the year after tomorrow will be the time to harvest!

"Catch him!" Suddenly, there was a shouting and the clash of weapons in a small forest ahead. The guards behind Wu Zhi hurriedly scattered their horses and protected the noble king in the middle.

Wu Zhi was a little excited, since he got the no gold sword, his interest in martial arts has increased greatly, and he often consults with Wang Jin Luda, combined with his desperate experience, but also figured out a set of ways suitable for himself, even if there is no golden sword, he can also take a few moves in front of Wang Jin and Luda, this time he has more motivation, he has to practice for a few hours every night, and he has been able to support nearly 100 moves in front of the two masters before coming to Jiangnan, of course, this is also the two people who did not do their best.

"Let's take a look!" Wu Zhi grabbed the horse's belly between his legs and took the lead in running towards the grove, and all the guards drew their weapons one after another and followed closely.

A man and a woman stumbled out of the rugged path in the woods, the male officer was dressed as a male officer, wearing a yang felt hat, sprinkled with a pinch of red tassels, wrapped in a mixed green and soft turban under the hat, wearing a white silk and two-collar battle robe, and a plum red thread tied around the waist, but the clothes were stained with blood, and the woman followed behind him, unable to see her face clearly. Behind the two, dozens of big men chased after them with various weapons in their hands.

The officer had just run out of the woods, and when he looked up and saw Wu Zhi and the others riding horses, his face changed greatly, and after pulling him up, the woman ran towards the small river to the south, and after running a few steps, the woman suddenly shouted: "Second brother??!! With the shout, the woman broke free from the officer's hand and ran towards Wu Zhi, who was stunned for a moment and ran after the woman.

Wu Zhi was also stunned, the voice of "second brother" seems to be very familiar? Look carefully, the woman, oh, it should be said that the girl's delicate face, why is it so familiar? Yes! It's the third sister Liang Hongyu! I haven't seen her for a year, and Liang Hongyu has changed from a little girl to a slim girl, but at this time, Liang Hongyu's hair is scattered, her face is full of sweat, and she looks very embarrassed.

Wu Zhi turned over and dismounted, and greeted him: "Third sister, why are you here?" I felt a little guilty in my heart, I hadn't seen her for a year, and I almost forgot about this third sister......

Liang Hongyu's face was full of surprise, and she ran to Wu Zhi, "Second brother, why did you come to Jiangnan......

"Ding Dong" There was a sound of weapons colliding, the palace guards and those big men had already handed over, Liang Hongyu remembered that this was not the time to talk, and hurriedly said: "Second brother, let's go quickly!" ……”

Wu Zhi saw a slight fear on Liang Hongyu's anxious face, and the innocent little girl a year ago was like two people, and he was angry in his heart, who was bold enough to bully my sworn sister?

After being knocked over a few people on the spot by the guards, those big men saw that they were not opponents, and one of the pock-faced men whistled, and all the men took a few steps back, and the guards did not have the king's order, nor did they advance, and lined up in a row to block in front of those people.

The pock-faced man snorted coldly and said, "Who are you?" Dare to take care of the affairs of Yuexizhuang? Hand over the people now, and I'll let you go! ”

Before Wu Zhi could speak, the young officer next to him suddenly whispered: "If you want to save Miss Hongyu, the person on the other side needs to be killed!" "He and Wu Zhi first met, and knew that people would not care about him, and he would only be saved today if he moved out of Liang Hongyu to talk about things.

Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, looked at the young officer, and saw that his eyes were staring at him with a resolute expression. Turning her head to look at Liang Hongyu, the third sister bit her lip, nodded slowly, and the fear in her expression gradually faded.

Wu Zhi didn't ask any more questions, and waved his hand, "Kill!" ”

There was a bloody storm next to the grove, and those big men didn't expect people to be so simple, and they didn't say a few words before they started to be ruthless, and they lay down on the spot, and more than a dozen guards got on their horses and circled around the crowd, and some of them turned around and couldn't run a few steps and were chased by the guards and cut down to the ground......
