"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: Shocked to hear the Yangzhou bloody case, I am very worried, Lang Lang Qiankun, there are such evil deeds, the shame of the imperial court,......, Yangzhou prefect Che Ming is not appeased, and he has lost hope, so he will be dismissed immediately, and the remaining vacancies will be temporarily handled by Dorobelle Hongqing, waiting for the newly elected official of the Ministry of Officials, Qin this!"

On June 6, the forty-fourth year of Kangxi, in front of the Yangzhou Post Station, Zhao Wucheng, the deputy chief eunuch of the performance room, stood behind the incense case, read out the holy decree expressionlessly, and knelt down to the officials on the ground, the holy decree was very long, and it was the handling of the assassination of Hongqing half a month ago.

"Ministers, thank you Lord Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After the holy decree, a few families were really happy and a few were sad, but no matter what everyone thought, they didn't dare to be rude, and they all thanked them in a proper manner, and then they stood up.

"Father-in-law Zhao has worked hard from afar, Ben Belle has prepared some wine, and invited his father-in-law to rest?"

Among all the people present, although Hongqing was the youngest, his status was the highest, so he had to come forward to greet Zhao Wucheng, who came to deliver the message.

"Thank you for your kindness, it's just that the old slave still has another mission with him, so he has to rush to Jinling, so I won't bother much, and I also ask Qingbeile Haihan to be one."

Zhao Wucheng is not a very extravagant figure in the palace, but after all, he is in the palace all the year round, he knows what kind of person Hongqing is, and how dare he take it in front of Hongqing.

"It's okay, then Ben Baylor won't keep his father-in-law much, and he will thank him again when he returns to Beijing."

Hongqing was already very impatient with the banquet, and the reason why he invited him at this time was just to follow the unspoken rules of officialdom, even if Zhao Wucheng wanted to refuse, Hongqing was also happy to be idle, but when handing over the holy decree, he still didn't forget to quietly flick a folded hundred taels of silver ticket into Zhao Wucheng's sleeve.

"Don't dare, don't dare, Qingbeile, please stay, the old slave will leave first."

Although Hongqing's action of playing the silver ticket was hidden, how could Zhao Wucheng, who was the party concerned, not notice it, even if he was used to receiving silver, but Zhao Wucheng was still happy for a while, and his old face wrinkled when he laughed, but he still didn't want to have too much to do with Hongqing, so he just thanked him, and then got on the horse, and hurriedly went to Jinling along the avenue under the escort of a group of soldiers from the good fighting battalion.

"Princes, Ben Beile was ordered to temporarily serve as the prefect of Yangzhou, but he is young and shallow, and he is afraid that there will be negligence, and he must have a lot of help from the princes."

Although the holy decree did not specify the time limit for temporary acting, Hongqing had already guessed the true intention of the old man's move, which was to help Hongqing master the place, so as to facilitate the smooth development of the salt rectification, at least before the end of the salt rectification, the new prefect will definitely not arrive, this kind of support is not small, Hongqing is very excited in his heart, but he is happy, he doesn't plan to break this matter, after Zhao Wucheng and the others go, Hongqing just arched his hand to the waiting local officials, and said politely and humbly.

"Lord Qincha rest assured, the lower officials and others should do their best."

"Qing Belle is polite, but there are orders, and the subordinates and others should obey them."

……

The magistrates didn't know what the significance of Hongqing's temporary office was, they just thought that Hongqing was just helping to take care of one or two before the new prefect arrived, and they wouldn't care much about it, and they would answer one by one very simply.

"Well, if you can get the help of the princes, Ben Baylor can rest assured, the hour is not early, and the princes will go to their own positions, if there is anything, Ben Baylor will notify you separately."

After all, there has been no handover, and it is not yet officially acting as the prefect of Yangzhou, and Hongqing didn't want to make an inaugural speech, so he just gave a few simple explanations and sent all the magistrates away.

"Lord Che, please."

Hongqing didn't pay attention to the departure of the local officials, but slowly walked in front of the lost Che Ming, and waved his hand warmly.

"Ah, oh, good, good, Sunny Belle, please."

Since he learned that Hongqing was attacked, Che Ming has known that he is afraid that he will not be able to escape punishment, and for most of the past half a month, he has not been less worried, and he has been urging his subordinates to wait for the assassin who is on the run, that is, he wants to be able to redeem the crime once, but he has exhausted all methods, and he has not been able to find any useful clues. A guy was masturbated to the end, and he had to go back to the ministry to listen to the staff, but it really made Che Ming's heart sad, and he didn't hear Hongqing say anything at all, so he just replied blankly.

"Lord Che, there are a lot of government affairs in the house, so you must not delay it, so please ask Lord Che to cooperate with Ben Baylor to hand over first?"

For Che Ming, the eighth master's disciple, Hongqing can't talk about much goodwill, but he can't talk about a bad feeling, after all, although this person is extremely power-hungry, he still has a hand in governing the place, although he is not a very Hai Rui general Qing official, but he is not greedy, he can barely be regarded as a capable local official, and Hongqing really has no schadenfreude for the fate of his dismissal, of course, he can't say that he has much sympathy at all, and he just proposed a sentence in a business-like manner.

"Ah, okay, okay, the offender will do it, this will do it."

Che Ming obviously hadn't been able to recover from the blow of being removed from his post and investigated, and responded to a few words randomly, and walked towards the yamen with his body bent, his steps staggering, and his back was full of gloom.

"Huh."

Che Ming was already dizzy at this time, and when he turned around, he forgot to salute, obviously disrespectful, but Hongqing didn't care much about it, so he just shook his head and chuckled, and then let it go gently, and didn't stay outside the yamen for long, and slowly walked into the yamen.

"Lord Chincha, everything is already here, I wonder if you have any other orders?"

Because of Yangzhou's wealth, Che Ming has no debts in office, and the handover is very simple, even if the official seal, documents and other things are handed over, it is considered to be over, but Che Ming is not in a hurry to leave, but flatteringly waited next to the copywriter, and asked Hongqing a sentence carelessly.

"There is Lord Laoche, well, Yangzhou is well governed, this is the work of Lord Che, Ben Baylor will play Ming Shengshang at the meeting, and then go by himself."

Hongqing was very satisfied with the handover process so quickly, and he did have a little appreciation for Che Ming's government affairs ability, so he praised him, but he didn't plan to talk to him more, after all, those who are different don't conspire with each other.

"Yes, the prisoner retired, ah, the prisoner almost forgot about it, well, the previous Lord Qincha asked about Wu Sidao and his person, although the prisoner has not met for a long time, but I heard that he was in Yangzhou, it is rumored that he was a private school in Sunjiazhuang, Gaoyou County, this is just a rumor, the prisoner has not been verified, so he dare not say anything, it is not deliberately concealed from the adult."

After Che Ming hesitated obviously, he gritted his teeth and said something secret.

Oh, Lao Wu is really hiding in Yangzhou, it's interesting!

As soon as he heard Che Ming say this, Hongqing's heart couldn't help but move, but he didn't show it on his face, so he just nodded indifferently and said, "Lord Che has a heart." ”

"The adults stay, and the prisoner leaves."

Che Ming reported the news of Wu Sidao at this time, and he had the intention of currying favor, but when he saw that Hongqing did not have any special reaction, he couldn't help but be disappointed, and he didn't have the face to delay it any longer, so he could only leave in disgrace.

"Someone!"

For Wu Sidao's lame, Hongqing never dared to be careless, after all, in the film and television dramas of the previous life, this guy was mythical and mysterious, this time I came to Jiangnan, I had the intention of looking for this person, but I haven't been able to get reliable news, now I heard Che Ming talk about it, Hongqing really got up to pay a visit, but I just want to think about it, but I can't do it, there is nothing else, I just took over the government affairs of Yangzhou, and I have to be familiar with it after all. You can't just go to the suburb of Gaoyou right away, besides, Hongqing has other important things to do, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to get out of it in a short time, after thinking for a while, I decided to put Wu Sidao's matter aside before making a plan, so I got up, raised my voice and drank a throat.

"The subordinates are here!"

Li Minxing was originally waiting outside the study, and when he heard Hongqing's call, he didn't dare to slack off a little, so he hurriedly walked into the room, bowed, and hurriedly answered.

"Prepare the sedan chair and go to Dongmen Lane!"

Hongqing groaned slightly, then raised his eyebrows, and his tone resolutely ordered.

"This ......"

As the most obedient person around Hongqing, Li Minxing naturally knew where Dongmen Lane was, and when he heard that Hongqing was going so openly, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"It's okay, Benbel has his own opinions!"

Hongqing knew what Li Minxing was worried about, but he didn't care much, he didn't dare to go easily before, that was for fear of exposing the rudder, but now, the power of Yangzhou is already in his hands, so he doesn't need to worry about so much, and the rudder here will also be cut after the salt rectification, but he is not afraid of being exposed at this time.

"Wow!"

Hongqing had already said so, Li Minxing didn't dare to say more, and after responding respectfully, he went to arrange for relevant matters without mentioning it.
