Chenghua twenty-one years, since the founding of the Song Dynasty and the opening of the country, after several generations of benevolent governance, then the world is peaceful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, ten thousand dynasties to respect, unconsciously, the world has been a bad country, in the Great Song Dynasty, several factions are numerous, no longer Wuzong is in charge of the dynasty, each faction is extremely strong, have cholera dynasty, so the world is in charge, and the most loyal, have endured in the court, although standing in a high position, but not as good as one of the ten ministers.

Wuzong wants to revive the dynasty, sign a contract with several factions, raise the virtuous and virtuous later generations into the court as officials, compete for a superiority, take one of the princes as a regent, and have to be the emperor of the next generation, although they are all their own bloodline, but they are not the same, Wuzong is also helpless, but because of its regent, in a high position, the world is still in his hands, cautious, now I know that there are countless corrupt officials in Zhejiang, so I ordered it to the Privy Council, hoping that it will be investigated and punished, and the world is right.

The privy envoy was a member of the other faction, hoping that the world would be in chaos, so on the grounds that there were many affairs, he handed over the matter to Bai Hong, the governor of the political affairs, and pretended to say that he would choose a loyal and good person, and rushed to Zhejiang to find out the matter, but Bai Hong's family had not yet been settled, and there was no left and right deputy to help, so in desperation, he had to rush back to the Privy Council.

And it happened that Zhao Xuan had just returned at this time, so he sent Zhao Xuan to Zhejiang to investigate and wander, hoping that he would find out the evidence and correct the dynasty

On that day, Zhao Xuan returned home, it was noon, and he had nothing to do, so he went to the Privy Council for a turn, thinking that if he didn't have his own business, he would go home to rest, but who knew that he happened to meet Bai Hong, the two chatted a few words, and when they were having fun, Bai Hong sighed.

Seeing that Bai Hong seemed to have something depressed in his heart, Zhao Xuan felt a little strange in his heart, he didn't know how this old fox, who was sleek and foxy, could have troubles, and unconsciously, Zhao Xuan blurted out: "Lord Bai, why is this sighing?" ”

How could Bai Hong inform Zhao Xuan of this matter as soon as he came up, he knew that if he let Zhao Xuan go so directly now, maybe Zhao Xuan would go, but he would definitely not do it with sincerity, but maybe Zhao Xuan would misunderstand that he could only rely on him, after a pause, Bai Hong said slowly: "I wonder if Lord Zhao has any superfluous things next?" ”

"I just came back, but there is nothing to do, why don't you and I go to a private room and talk and talk."

"Very good, that's exactly what I mean!"

Seeing that Bai Hong's mood was so unstable today, Zhao Xuan couldn't help but feel a little bad, but since he had already promised others, Zhao Xuan was embarrassed to change his mind temporarily, so he went hard.

The two found a fairly good restaurant, although Zhao Xuan didn't know how the food was done, but from the decoration alone, it was also pavilions, decorated with gold and silver, and a few paintings of famous artists from the previous dynasty in the house, decorating the inner temperament, thinking that it must be a place where literati often stay, and this restaurant must have spent a lot of money to place.

The two sat in the private room, and after entering the house, after saying a few words to the shopkeeper, they began to greet Zhao Xuan, and after three or five sentences, they began to make Zhao Xuan not care about the layout in the restaurant and the color and fragrance of the food, and became more and more uneasy.

"In recent years, among the magistrates, there is no knowledge of how many local officials have been corrupted*, and the people have been impoverished, and Zhejiang is particularly serious, so the Holy Lord is willing to send a supervisory envoy to Zhejiang to investigate this matter, the foolish brother has not been close to the grassroots, the virtuous brother has been in the hospital for a few days now, presumably with the ability of the virtuous brother, the people in the courtyard should be familiar with you, and I hope to give some advice, so that I can recover from this."

As soon as Zhao Xuan heard Bai Hong say this, he knew that he had been pitted, Bai Hong said this, he must have wanted Zhao Xuan to go, although Zhao Xuan knew, but he still had to pretend to be deaf and stupid, in case it was unfortunate for a while, Bai Hong did not mean this, then wouldn't it be a shame, but would be laughed at by Bai Hong, so Zhao Xuan thought about it for a while, "Lord Bai"

Before Zhao Xuan finished speaking, Bai Hong hurriedly interjected, "Eh~ Brother Xian is too much to see outside, and the court and the place of work will be called so, when you are outside, if you don't give up, call me Brother Bai." ”

Seeing Bai Hong's attitude, Zhao Xuan hurriedly changed his words, "What Brother Bai taught is that Brother Bai has indeed seen the outside. ”

After a little bowing, Zhao Xuan continued: "Actually, I am not very familiar with the people in this courtyard, and the only one who is familiar with it is Han Yi, but what he has done makes me really look down on it. ”

"So, you don't have a good candidate here?"

Although Zhao Xuan didn't want to go to Zhejiang, he still nodded, after all, telling the truth is the truth, and telling a lie should be a lie, that is, 'talking to people when he meets people, and talking nonsense when he meets ghosts', treating Bai Hong as a person who pretends to be a good person everywhere, but may stumble at any time, Zhao Xuan can't convince him at all.

Bai Hong's head lowered, and he couldn't tell whether he was really thinking about this problem or thinking about how to trick Zhao Xuan into it, but in the final analysis, Zhao Xuan would definitely not be able to run away this time.

After half a ring, Bai Hong raised his head and said with some hesitation: "Brother Xian, the people in this courtyard are either like the temperament of a scholar, with a temper, although they are upright, but after all, they still won't judge the case, only rely on their own subjective thoughts; Or they are very shrewd, and on the surface they seem to be well-dressed, as if they are a sanctimonious picture, but in reality, for the sake of a little profit, they do not hesitate to worsen their reputation, such people are really stupid, and the person I know, only you can be up to this great responsibility. ”

Seeing Bai Hong explain such a big truth to himself there, Zhao Xuan just shook his head a little helplessly, after all, Zhao Xuan didn't know about this kind of investigation, so he wanted to ask Bai Hong.

After taking a sip of wine, Bai Hong saw that Zhao Xuan wanted to ask a question to himself, put down the wine glass, and then looked at each other, and in an instant, Bai Hong figured out what Zhao Xuan meant, and hurriedly opened his mouth to answer for him, "I also know that you won't investigate such a thing, but you won't, it doesn't mean that the people around you won't, those former masters in the West Factory are all high school hands who investigate these things, and it's best to ask them about such things." ”

There is no way anymore, now that he is ready to fly, he has to send it, since Bai Hong has said this idea, Zhao Xuan is not easy to refuse, if Zhao Xuan refuses, then it is estimated that Bai Hong will go to the Holy Shang to visit him, and when Zhao Xuan wants to defend again, it is not as simple as now.

There was no way, Zhao Xuan could only agree, "Don't worry, since I promised this matter, then I will handle it well!" ”

Bai Hong laughed and said: "Since Brother Xian is so refreshing, I knew that this was the case, so I will avoid those corners, and tell you the final word directly." ”

Zhao Xuan smiled faintly, and thought in his heart, "You old fox, what you said is good, it is estimated that it will delay things again, alas, there is no way, just agree, who made me unlucky, I just don't know when I will come back, alas!" ”

Unconsciously seeing it, Zhao Xuan sighed, but Bai Hong just glanced at Zhao Xuan and didn't say anything.

Although the main focus of the whole thing is this matter, Zhao Xuan and Bai Hong still ate this meal very "happily", at the table, Zhao Xuan toasted Bai Hong from time to time, but unconsciously, Bai Hong was already drunk, and Zhao Xuan was just a little sleepy.

Walking out of the door, Zhao Xuan said to Bai Hong's two guards, "Your master has drunk too much and has fallen asleep, so you two will carry him home later." ”

And the two guards nodded lightly, and did not talk to Zhao Xuan again, seeing that these two people did not give him a smile, Zhao Xuan felt very angry, but he still had to endure it, after all, they could abolish him with only one hand, this kind of thing is not a joke, in desperation, Zhao Xuan shook his head, asked for a few words, and left alone

Early the next morning, Bai Hong got up early, because it was only early when he went to bed yesterday, so he got up early, called a few people in, and asked them to clean up the filth on the ground that they had vomited yesterday.

But after the people came, they didn't start, Bai Hong wanted to say two words to them, but found that there was still any filth on the ground, which had already been cleaned up, and suddenly Bai Hong's face was a little unnatural, but after a while, Bai Hong still let them go out very calmly, and asked them to prepare a sedan chair for themselves before leaving, he was going to enter the Beijing to face the saint, this matter, Bai Hong must be clear to the saint, otherwise it will be a little chaotic

Soon, it didn't take long for Bai Hong to arrive outside the palace gate, and let the palace guards outside the door report it, and asked him to tell the emperor that Bai Hongbai, the governor of the political affairs, had something to ask to see, and when he left, Bai Hong also gave the guard two taels of silver, although doing this kind of thing is not quite in line with his status, but what should be done still has to be done, otherwise how can he see the saint quickly.

Soon, news came from the palace, saying that the Holy Governor Bai Hongbai had come to see him.

Walking to the door of the imperial study, Bai Hong straightened his clothes, for fear that something untidy would displease the Holy Dragon Yan, wouldn't that be bad.

"Weichen Bai Hong, knock on the saint, long live my emperor, long live long live!"

At this moment, Wuzong Zhao Yongqian was sitting there, and after saying "flat", he began to flip through the folds one by one, if someone stood beside him, he would definitely find that most of the content in the folds were some flashy things, and it seemed that there was some truth in writing, but it was the donkey's lips that were not right on the horse's mouth, which made him how good, he could only cross it out, think about it carefully, the work done by the lower-level officials is still not in place, if there is no accident, it must be that he has received money from others, corruption and bribery, think of this, Zhao Yongqian put the brush on the table, put down the fold in his hand, and looked at Bai Hong.

Bai Hong's face was a little unnatural, he knew that if he rashly entered the capital without the permission of the Holy Lord, it would definitely make the Holy Lord Long Yan angry, such a thing that disturbed the court, Wu Zong generally did not want to appear.

As he expected, Wu Zong's face looked at Bai Hong with a somewhat unnatural face, "Say, why did you come to Beijing without my summons, if the explanation is not clear, think about this black gauze hat on your head!" At this moment, Wu Zong was very angry, and he also wondered why this Bai Hong came in at this time when he was angry when he was angry.

Bai Hong glanced at Wu Zong and told Wu Zong all the causes and consequences of this incident.

"As you say, it's even possible that the privy envoy intervened?" Wu Zong sat there and asked with some suspicion.

Bai Hong nodded, but then shook his head again, "I'm not very sure, but I feel that there is no doubt that there is him in this, and it is not an exaggeration to even say that there is a force behind him, otherwise why would he let me deal with this matter?" It must be trying to borrow our hands and shovel out the hands of others. ”

Wu Zong nodded, what Bai Hong said was not unreasonable, but the key problem was that there was no evidence, this was a very serious issue, it was not that he didn't want to deal with it, but the people under his command who were capable of this aspect were not capable, and they were bland, in this case, it would be better to hand over this matter to Zhao Xuan to deal with.

Glancing at Bai Hong, who was kneeling on the ground, Wu Zong opened his mouth and asked, "Is there anything else?" ”

Bai Hong pondered for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Qiqi Sheng, since you have arranged for Zhao Xuan to go, then you must give Zhao Xuan a title and something that can save his life!" ”

Looking at Bai Hong's appearance, Wu Zong couldn't help but want to laugh a little, "You old naughty boy, when did you get along with Zhao Xuan, it's not impossible to give it to him, but I'm afraid that he will take Shang Fang's sword and use it to play!" ”

Bai Hong shook his head a little excitedly, "Holy Lord, don't you still know Zhao Xuan?" He is not that kind of person, I think it is better to give him a regular title, so that as a minister, Zhao Xuan can also give those local officials to the town, so that no one will listen to him when he gets it. ”

Hearing what Bai Hong said, Wu Zong was about to laugh, "You old boy, what's wrong today, Zhao Xuan is not blatantly doing it, after all, this is still a task that is operating in secret, you can rest assured, I will still give it to Zhao Xuan, and now the top priority is to let Zhao Xuan move quickly, so as not to let those local officials prepare in advance." ”

Bai Hong nodded, answered Wu Zong, and left.

And Zhao Yongqian asked Gonggong Li beside him to draw up the holy decree quickly, and then asked him to take a Shang Fang sword and give Zhao Xuan the right to cut first and then play, in case he encountered too angry officials who caused more trouble there.

Seeing that the saint was in such a hurry, Gonggong Li hurried to get it
