Governor Zhao was originally annoyed in his heart, and now he is very dissatisfied with Li Hongyu's arrogance, no matter how he is also the prefect of Yangzhou Mansion, how can you still sit on the Taishi chair no matter how you have a background?

"Come on, arrest these people to the official and take them back to the prison and interrogate them strictly."

Therefore, after having the confessions of the two Zhao Gongzi's entourage, Governor Zhao's face sank, and he stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Hongyu and shouted loudly to the surrounding officers, no matter where this bearded man came from, since he dared to openly offend him, it was natural to make him suffer some hardship.

To be honest, Governor Zhao didn't think that the backstage of this bearded man was better than him, you must know that the court is now the world of the Donglin Party, and the bearded man is obviously not from the Donglin Party, otherwise he would not have done such a stupid thing.

In this way, the prefect of Zhao suspected that the bearded man was from Wei Zhongxian's side, and because the officials of Qi, Chuzhe, and other factions were now gathered around Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian, who was in charge of the ceremonial supervisor, became a thorn in the side of the Donglin party, and only in this way could the arrogant behavior of the bearded man be explained.

If the bearded man is Wei Zhongxian's person, then Governor Zhao is not unwelcome, anyway, both sides have already torn their faces, so he naturally wants to teach the bearded man a good lesson.

"Governor Zhao, this is how you tried the case?" Without waiting for those errand servants to make a move, Li Hongyu looked at Governor Zhao coldly and asked.

"How does this government try cases, do you still need to teach it?" Governor Zhao snorted coldly, and looked at Li Hongyu with an indifferent expression, "This mansion wants to see if it's your hard mouth or those punishments in the prison of this mansion!" ”

"Master Fu is wise and wise, how can he accept a disciple like you who does not distinguish between right and wrong and acts unscrupulously, which is really embarrassing."

Li Hongyu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he stared at Governor Zhao with an expressionless face and said, "Originally, the official was going to settle the matter, but I didn't expect you to disappoint the official so much, so don't blame the official for not being emotional." ”

"This officer?"

Governor Zhao was stunned for a moment, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he couldn't help but glance at the bearded man in front of him again, he had never seen a bearded man in the capital for many years.

But from the words of the bearded man, he seemed to know the cabinet auxiliary Ye Xianggao, which made him suddenly suspicious, and he didn't know where the bearded man came from.

You must know that the top magnates of the Ming Dynasty are all in the capital, if the Zhao prefect doesn't know him, it is obvious that the bearded man is not from the capital, in that case, the other party can only be a local official, but as far as he knows, no one who is an official with a beard and a bearded man in the local area is so arrogant.

After all, the Ming Dynasty was still controlled by the Donglin Party, and Wei Zhongxian was still at a disadvantage, so the people who took refuge in him were far less arrogant and domineering than later, so it was impossible to deliberately find trouble with the Zhao Governor's Mansion.

"Do you know the relationship between Miss Yiyi and this official?" Seeing the puzzled look on Governor Zhao's face, Li Hongyu looked at his Yiyi with a stunned look on the folding fan in his hand, and asked coldly.

"Lord Prefect, don't be deceived by him, the two of them met for the first time today, and they wanted to use a gem to meet Yiyi." At this time, Zhang Tuiguan, who knew the ins and outs of the matter, hurriedly reminded Governor Zhao that Li Hongyu was bluffing.

"The matter has come to this, the official will tell you that Yiyi is the official's woman, the official just gave a small punishment, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, your unassuming son can be killed by the official on the spot."

Li Hongyu didn't bother to reason with Zhang Tuiguan, and looked at Zhao Zhifu, who was looking at him suspiciously, and said, "Although he has picked up a life, but the death penalty can be avoided and the living crime cannot be escaped, just wait for exile to the frontier." ”

"Your Excellency is so loud, do you regard the laws of the Ming Dynasty as nothing, and do whatever you want?"

Seeing Li Hongyu talking about Zhao Gongzi, the prefect of Zhao, who loved his son, couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, and pointed at Li Hongyu with a sneer and said, "Come on, take down this madman to the official, the official wants to see who he dares to be so arrogant!" ”

After all, Governor Zhao has also experienced a lot of ups and downs, so how can he be frightened by Li Hongyu's words, he just sorted out the top magnates of the Ming Dynasty by himself, and he didn't have a beard, so he no longer bothered to talk to Li Hongyu in vain, thinking that Li Hongyu was here to scare himself, and was ready to teach this guy who didn't know the height of the sky a lesson.

"Governor Zhao, do you want to be disrespectful to the young master?"

When the servants in the house heard this, they immediately rushed to Li Hongyu, ready to grab Li Hongyu and ask for merit from Zhao Governor's Mansion, but the guards standing on the side saw this and blocked Li Hongyu sideways, and the leader shouted to Zhao Governor's Mansion in a loud voice.

"Young Master?" Not only Governor Zhao, but also the people at the scene were stunned when they heard this, with a surprised look on their faces, and those errand servants also stopped and looked at each other, all frightened by this name.

"Governor Zhao, you are really disappointed by this young master, how can Yangzhou be handed over to you to govern?"

Li Hongyu knew that now was the time to tell Governor Zhao his true identity, so he resumed his original voice and said coldly while taking the beard on his face.

"Less...... Master Master! ”

Governor Zhao's face couldn't help but change greatly after hearing Li Hongyu's voice, he was no stranger to this voice, and when he saw Li Hongyu's appearance clearly, his face became pale, and he stammered.

"Young Master?"

Zhang Tuiguan, who was standing next to Zhao Governor's Mansion, was looking at the handsome and elegant young man in front of him in surprise, and suddenly heard Zhao Governor's voice, and the whole person suddenly became bloodless, and his expression was shocked, could it be that this young man is the young master of Daming?

"It's him!"

Yiyi, no, a look of surprise appeared on Li Yi'er's face, and her mood became excited, she didn't expect her to reunite with Li Hongyu in this situation.

"The lower officials don't know that the young master has arrived, and I hope that the lord will forgive the sin."

The next moment, after the initial stunned Zhao Governor's Mansion came back to his senses, and hurriedly bowed down to salute Li Hongyu, looking nervous and worried, he would not have thought that his luck would be so bad that he would meet Li Hongyu.

Governor Zhao had foresight, he didn't think that the Donglin Party would support him after he had a dispute with Li Hongyu, not to mention that Li Hongyu and Ye Xianggao had a good relationship with the high-level officials of the Donglin Party, and what Zhao Gongzi did today alone was shameful.

In addition, Zhao Gongzi actually wanted to get involved with Li Hongyu's woman, Li Hongyu wouldn't say anything even if he let people beat him to death, is the dignified young master just a showman?

This made Governor Zhao immediately realize the seriousness of the situation, and cold sweat rolled down his cheeks involuntarily, and he felt extremely angry at Zhao Gongzi who offended Li Hongyu: Could this bastard kid's brain be kicked by a donkey, and he dared to provoke Li Hongyu's woman.

"Less...... Few...... Master Master! ”

Zhao Gongzi was stunned when he saw this, and even forgot the pain in his body, and looked at Li Hongyu dumbfounded, how could he have thought that this person in front of him was a dignified young master of Daming, not to mention Zhao Governor's Mansion Even Ye Xianggao treated Li Hongyu politely, he could be said to have hit an iron plate this time.

"Young Master, the lower official should die, the lower official has no eyes to offend the adult, I hope the adult will forgive the sin, I hope the adult will forgive the sin."

With a plop, Zhang Tuiguan, who was standing, knelt on the ground as soon as his legs were weak, opened his hands left and right, and twitched his mouth, begging Li Hongyu for mercy in horror while fighting, even Governor Zhao couldn't hold it in front of Li Hongyu, so let alone him, a small pusher.

Considering Li Hongyu's previous dissatisfaction with himself, Zhang Tuiguan was already gone, and he knew that Li Hongyu was not just talking, but really making him lose his position.

"Governor Zhao, are you guilty?" Li Hongyu was too lazy to deal with Zhang Tuiguan, looked at Governor Zhao with an expressionless face and asked in a deep voice.

"The lower official is guilty, I hope the lord will forgive the sin and give the lower official a chance." Where did Governor Zhao dare to quibble at this time, he hurriedly bowed down again, and replied in fear, just the two charges of teaching his son and not being strict with his subordinates were enough to ruin his career.

"Young Master Ben has given you a chance just now, but you haven't been able to grasp it."

Li Hongyu sneered when he heard this, looked at Zhao Zhifu with an indifferent expression and said, "This young master will give you two ways to go now, you are no longer suitable to serve in Yangzhou now, one way is that you take the initiative to resign and return to your hometown, and the other is that this young master will be impeached, as far as this official knows, since you took office, many businessmen have complained, and this young master wants to see if those rumors are true or false!" ”

Governor Zhao's face changed suddenly, of course he was unwilling to give up the throne of Yangzhou Governor, and he was even more unwilling to say goodbye to his career, but Li Hongyu had already made it very clear that in addition to teaching his son and being lax with his subordinates, he also had the line of asking for bribes from Yangzhou businessmen

"Young Master, after the arrival of the lower officials, he failed to fulfill his duties, and he is ashamed of the imperial court, and he is willing to resign to let the virtuous."

Therefore, although he was reluctant in his heart, Governor Zhao still made a decision quickly, bowed to Li Hongyu and said that at least he could get out of this way, and the money he earned over the years was enough for him to eat and drink in the next life, and live a luxurious and comfortable life.

"The reason why this young master gave you a way to live is because of the face of Master Fu, and I don't want your matter to affect Donglin's reputation, so you can know for yourself in the future."

Li Hongyu had already guessed that Governor Zhao would make this choice, so he glanced at him coldly and then pulled Li Yi'er, who looked excited, to the side and left.

"Congratulations to the young master." Hearing this, Governor Zhao's face suddenly became embarrassed, and he hurriedly bowed down to bid farewell to Li Hongyu, if what he did in Yangzhou Mansion stabbed the capital, then his reputation would be ruined.

When he walked out of the courtyard gate, in order to avoid being recognized by Liu Hongmei and others who were anxiously waiting there, Li Hongyu opened the folding fan to cover his face, and pulled Li Yier away quickly surrounded by the guards.

Liu Hongmei didn't expect that Governor Zhao would let go of Li Hongyu and Li Yi'er and others, and Li Yi'er's cheeks were crimson, and she looked at Li Hongyu with affection, which made her puzzled.

"What's going on?" Because Li Hongyu's appearance was covered by a folding fan, and he was surrounded by guards, Liu Hongmei didn't see his appearance clearly at all, and hurriedly asked Lan'er, who came out behind with an excited look, in confusion.

"Aunt Hong, the person who went out just now was Young Master Li, and he and Miss Yiyi are old acquaintances." Lan'er suppressed the excitement in her heart, bowed to Liu Hongmei and said in a coquettish voice, no wonder Li Hongyu said before that she was okay, it turned out that he was the young master of Daming.

"Young Master Li?" Liu Hongmei was taken aback when she heard this, and then turned to look at the back of Li Hongyu and his party, she never expected Li Hongyu to appear here, it seems that Governor Zhao is going to be unlucky this time.

Indeed, on the very next day, the prefect of Zhao wrote to the imperial court to resign and return to his hometown to recuperate on the grounds of physical discomfort, and at the same time ordered the investigation and prosecution of Zhang Tuiguan.

Emperor Tianqi quickly approved the resignation of Zhao Zhifu, making him return to his hometown gloomily, but he also avoided the bloody storm behind, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, after all, he lost his official position because of Li Hongyu, since Li Hongyu is no longer ready to investigate his mistakes, then others are naturally not easy to turn over his old accounts.

As for Zhang Tuiguan, he soon found out that he had done a lot of violations of law and discipline, and he was exiled by the army and finally died on the frontier, which can be regarded as deserved, and he paid the price for his usual oppression of good and evil behaviors.
