The breeze caresses the lotus pond, the leaves rattle, and the sitting in the gazebo with a glass of sake is a great enjoyment of life. If you can be busy, you are an elegant person.

However, Guan Yingzhen didn't look elegant at all at this time, his body was covered with dust, and there was a straw on his head, and the black yarn was casually thrown on the stone bench on the side. Without looking at the surrounding scenery at all, he drank the wine from the wine glass in one gulp, reached out and picked up a large bone in the casserole, and gnawed it on one end of his two hands.

"My lord, you might as well drink some porridge now! You haven't had anything good for a few days, and eating so greasy it will spoil your stomach. An old housekeeper on the side stood cautiously beside Guan Yingzhen, with a touch of worry on his face, and reminded from time to time.

According to the fact that he didn't pay attention to the old man, Guan Yingzhen picked up the wine glass and drank the wine inside, looked at the big bones in the casserole, and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten like this for many years, but it's still the most enjoyable to eat like this!" ”

The old housekeeper on the side shook his head helplessly, he knew his master's temper, and when he saw a captain of the brocade guard on the side, he hurriedly greeted him, and said with a calm face: "Is there something wrong?" The adults have just come back, and there is something that has to come at this time! ”

The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister, Guan Yingzhen's housekeeper is similar, the captain hugged his fists, and said: "Butler, there is someone outside who wants to see the adult, and he is from the capital!" ”

"Who does anyone want to see an adult? The adults have just come back, and now they don't have time to meet the guests, so you go and refuse! The butler's face was suddenly unhappy, who has such a good nose, and he doesn't pick when he visits.

However, the captain did not leave, came to the butler's side, lowered his voice and said a few words in the butler's ear, and then stood back solemnly.

"Really?" A look of astonishment flashed on the butler's face, but he quickly reacted and pulled the captain to say solemnly.

The lieutenant nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "How dare I talk nonsense about this kind of thing, I don't have the guts." ”

The butler also nodded solemnly and pulled the captain's sleeve. He lowered his voice and said, "You go and bring people to the inner hall, and hide from people along the way, so that no one will find out." I'm going to tell you now, go quickly! ”

The lieutenant nodded and turned to leave, and the butler did not dare to delay at all, and strode towards the pavilion.

"What's the matter?" Putting down the wine glass in his hand, taking the silk scarf handed over by the housekeeper, and wiping his mouth gently, Guan Yingzhen turned his head to look at the housekeeper and asked with a frown.

"Lord Qiyu. Someone outside begged to see an adult. It's from the capital. The butler didn't dare to hide it in the slightest. Hurriedly spoke.

nodded, he came from the capital, and he knew more people in the capital, so the ghost knew who he was. I thought about it. Guan Yingzhen asked again: "Is there a post?" ”

"Lord Hui, no, but the brocade guards standing guard recognized that there were guards in the palace inside." The butler didn't say anything more, and there were things he wasn't supposed to say.

The official Ying was slightly moved, it was naturally not simple to involve people in the palace, glanced at the housekeeper, and said, "Where are the people?" ”

"I've been arranged to go to the inner hall!" Butler Road.

"Okay, I'll go over and take a look, it looks like my recital has arrived in the capital." He stood up with a smile. Guan Yingzhen walked to the back.

"My lord, are you changing your clothes?" The butler hesitated slightly, but still spoke.

"No need, I'll be out later!" Guan Yingzhen waved his hand and did not look back. Stride forward.

In the inner hall of the Qin Cha Xingyuan, Zhou Jiamo, dressed as a rich man, sat there quietly, picked up the teacup, and took a sip gently. Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, Zhou Jiamo had a smile on his face.

"It turned out to be Lord Zhou, I really didn't expect it to be Lord Zhou!" Guan Yingzhen, who walked in the door, saw Zhou Jiamo, and a look of astonishment flashed on his face, but he quickly strode up and said with a smile.

"It's very hard! The disaster relief is heavy, and the old man still comes to disturb him, so it's no wonder that the officials are there! Zhou Jiamo looked at himself with a smile, looked at Guan Yingzhen with emotion, and said.

Motioning for Zhou Jiamo to sit down, the official hurriedly said: "My lord, where are you talking about this, but it's really time for the adult to come, early or late, and the adult won't be able to see the official." Don't hide it from adults, disaster relief is indeed a very trivial matter, but it is also related to the national economy and people's livelihood. ”

"Knowing that the official is busy, the old man will not go around in circles, this time he came for the disaster relief case in Yangzhou. Although I have watched Lord Yang's recital, many things are still not clear, and I hope that Lord Yang will not hesitate to give advice. Zhou Jiamo nodded in agreement, didn't talk nonsense, and said his intention.

A touch of anger flashed in Guan Yingzhen's eyes, and he stabilized his emotions before slowly telling what had happened. sighed helplessly, and said: "These are what I have seen and heard since I came to Yangzhou, as for other things, it is up to Lord Zhou to check, presumably this is also the purpose of the emperor to let Lord Zhou come to Jiangnan!" ”

"Yes! There is no need to hide this matter from the officials, the emperor is very angry! I don't know what the official thinks of my student? We have a good personal relationship, and it doesn't hurt to say anything about the official! Zhou Jiamo nodded, and after having a rough idea in his heart, he changed the topic.

"When I first arrived in Yangzhou, I was indeed a little angry, and I was in a hurry to make a mistake about Zhang Qian. When Mr. Zhang was in office in Yangzhou, he protected the territory and the people, persuaded the farmers to teach the mulberry, and ruled the Qingming Dynasty, which was a good official. After the Yangzhou earthquake, Zhang Qian was also dedicated to the people, and the disaster relief matters were also arranged in an orderly manner, which can be called a capable official. Guan Ying sighed, with a little shame on his face, and said slowly.

Zhou Jiamo naturally saw that Guan Yingzhen's words were sincere, and he was immediately relieved in his heart, it was already commendable that his apprentice could get such an evaluation. However, these are not what Zhou Jiamo wants to hear, he pondered for a moment, and then said: "The official doesn't have to say good things, those dissatisfactions can also be said!" The old man also wanted to know.

"Master Zhang is quite utilitarian, and he doesn't care about the life and death of the people for his promotion, which really makes the official feel cold. The things I did in the past must have been just for promotion. However, the official still said a word, Lord Zhang is far better than those officials who are fishy and meaty, bribe officials, and do nothing practical. After all, it is already commendable to be a parent official and do good deeds for the people! Guan Yingzhen also figured it out, no one is perfect, and Zhang Qian's approach is also human, much better than those officials who do not act and bend the law for bribes.

Nodding slowly, Zhou Jiamo didn't say anything, sighed softly, and didn't continue the topic. The official Yingzhen on the side didn't know what Zhou Jiamo was thinking, and it was inconvenient to ask, so the two of them were a little cold.

"Official, the disaster relief is complicated, the old man will not bother, and after returning to the capital, the old man will invite the official to drink. Now the old man wants to rush back to Nanjing, and the matter is almost understood, and he is still in Nanjing! Zhou Jiamo looked at Guan Yingzhen with a smile, but the expression on his face was extremely serious.

Guan Yingzhen also knew that it was extraordinary now, so naturally he would not leave Zhou Jiamo, and he didn't have that time. smiled and nodded, but still asked, "Aren't you going to gradually Zhang Qian?" In the past few days, Mr. Zhang has been busy with disaster relief all day long, and he seems to know that he has done something wrong, so he has something to say to adults! ”

"Forget it, I still don't go, the court is important! Zhang Qian's matter will be truthfully played by the emperor, as for what to do, let the emperor have an idea! Although he is a student of the old man, the old man can't take care of it for a lifetime, it's time to take charge of it alone! Zhou Jiamo thought for a long time, but slowly shook his head.

"Oh well! I'll let you put down all those businessmen, and take them to Nanjing! If you want to find out about this case, I'm afraid you still have to start with these people. However, the official has one more mouth, these people are all confidants, and it may not be easy to let them betray their backstage. I'm afraid that adults will have to work hard, and some people may not be able to pry their mouths open! Guan Yingzhen's expression was very serious, after all, it was not these people that the Emperor of the Apocalypse wanted to punish, and it was not these people that he wanted to punish.

"What the official said makes sense, then the old man will leave!" Zhou Jiamo didn't delay too much, he started to do things vigorously, turned around and walked out.

After arranging everything, Guan Yingzhen saw Zhou Jiamo leave Yangzhou, with a little worry on his face, and said with emotion: "The water in Nanjing is too deep, be careful!" ”

Thirty miles north of Nanjing, Luo Sigong sat in the tea shop, looked at more than a dozen of his henchmen, and said solemnly: "Listen, everyone entered Nanjing City in batches, all dressed in civilian clothes. Don't let anyone find out where we are, don't contact anyone, wait for my orders. ”

"My lord, there are many brothers in Nanjing, and with their help, things will definitely be much easier." A Qianhu of a brocade guard hesitated a little and said hesitantly.

"Nanjing's Jinyi Wei didn't believe it, although it would be much easier to do things with them, but it was easy to leak the news. Now we don't know what's going on in the capital, so we can't leak the news. When I enter the city, I will contact Jinyiwei's spies in Nanjing City, and remember to keep yourself in the shadows. No one should act rashly until the situation is clarified! Glancing at the thousands of households who spoke, Luo Sigong still explained.

"Yes, don't worry!" Everyone hurriedly replied respectfully.

Waving his hand, Luo Sigong ordered: "Disperse!" ”

Groups of people walked towards Nanjing City, and Luo Sigong's gaze became deeper and deeper. Looking at the direction of Nanjing, he muttered: "The clouds are rising and the sun is sinking, and the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings." ”
