Chapter 46 Diversion to Henan

The long and narrow mountain road, the neat and clear stone steps, the flowers in full bloom on both sides, and the cuckoos, sparrows and other birds around are mixed together, which is also very pleasant.

A gentle breeze blows, and the air carries a faint floral scent.

Runzhi wiped the sweat from his face, as if thinking about something.

In the moments when Haozi spoke, a woman and another head catcher in the back and more than twenty people dressed in official clothes had arrived.

"Qing'er, why are you here too? Aren't you still in Tianfu? At first, Runzhi knew that this matter was only related to the Mo family and various university schools, and he had nothing to do with Qing'er, so he didn't inform Qing'er, who was busy learning to plant flowers in the house.

"My father asked me to accompany you to handle this case, and my father already knew that this matter was caused by a local tycoon in Henan Province who wrote to the current saint that it was the local three religions and nine streams who had encroached on more than 3,000 acres of his land, slandered the local officials, and let it go." , Qing'er continued unhurriedly:

"Because the epidemic in Henan and Shandong had just ended at that time, and my father was busy with the aftermath of the epidemic in Henan and Shandong, he did not have time to intervene, and there were many of my father's mentors and even classmates and friends, so it was inconvenient for my father to intervene in this case. The current saint was furious about this case, so the traitors in the court used this to deceive the current saint and ordered to deprive all the fields and properties of all the three religions and nine streams except Confucianism, so that it was so! ”

Qing'er almost told the ins and outs of the matter and Runzhi in one breath, between the conversations, there was a little love and hate, and there was also an explanation from Dai Tian Wenjing, and more of a thick expectation mixed with a little light admiration.

"I see, ·······", Runzhi listened, and suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

"We have made an appointment with the factions to meet in Yanjing in two months, and then we will come forward to deal with this matter together."

"It seems that we need to reformulate the plan", Runzhi said helplessly with a smile, "By the way, is this head catcher next to you and this head catcher called Haozi together?" ”

"No, Haozi was sent from the capital to give you the title of official and knight, and this catcher is called Cheng Hanyun, we all call him Xiaohan, who was my father's right-hand man before, in order to assist you in your future work, he was specially transferred to you together with Haozi, and these officials are all sent from the Yamen of the Henan Governor's Mansion", Qing'er explained in detail:

"Originally, they came directly to our Jiangsu Tianfu to find you according to my father's instructions, but when they arrived, they found that you had already left, and my father asked me to accompany you to handle the case, so I took them to find you!"

"In this case, it seems that the breakthrough is the local case in Henan itself, we must rush to Henan as soon as possible, and then strive to investigate the matter clearly, and then make it clear in front of the saint with all factions, so that the matter can be resolved", Runzhi said his plan.

As the saying goes, "there is nothing difficult in the world, only people who are afraid of it", there is actually no difficulty in this world, but because there are many people who are afraid, there are such and such things.

It is fear that people fear!

"Qing'er, let's settle down at the post station first, Henan is only a hundred kilometers away from here, the spring here is infinite, and it is easy not to miss it! I first sent a few officials back to Henan with my official seals to urge the yamen of the state capital to investigate and collect evidence. This place is 100 kilometers away from Henan, and it is expected that you can get there within three days."

Runzhi said to Qing'er, with a hint of tenderness unique to women between the words, in fact, most women favor gentle, polite men, but Runzhi is obviously not just to please Qing'er.

Qing'er still has a pink silk scarf, and it is still difficult for ordinary people to see all of her face, but Runzhi can quickly identify Qing'er from the vast sea of people at a glance with his understanding of Qing'er.

After these conversations, the onlookers already knew Runzhi's identity, and they also roughly knew what was going on, out of a unique sense of fear for high-ranking officials, so the surrounding onlookers began to gradually disperse.

"Qing'er, it is rare for us to pass through Anhui, and it is even more rare to come here, how can we live up to this miraculous work of nature, we can enjoy this unique beauty of the world. Wait until tomorrow morning, and then we will continue to leave for Henan, during which we also need to think about some countermeasures and make full preparations in all aspects! ”

After Runzhi finished speaking, he continued to say to the fast guards, "Our soldiers are divided into two routes, one way to stay here, and the other way to immediately go back to Henan to supervise the local investigation and evidence collection."

"My lord, the house of our five-person team members is near the place of the crime, let's go back to supervise the investigation first, and ensure that the task is completed!" , said a young man with a bit of a beard on his face among the officials.

"Oh, what do you call it?" , Runchi paused and asked with interest.

"My name is Chen Qi, the rich man at the place where the crime occurred lives less than a mile away from my house, and we are all locals at the place where the crime occurred!" , Chen Qi said, almost a little dancing, looking very excited, maybe this trip has been away from home for a long time, and it is normal and understandable to miss home.

Runzhi casually inquired with Chen Qi about the incident, and Qing'er's description was inseparable.

"Haozi, are these officials all sent from Henan?" Runzhi asked Haozi.

Runzhi glanced at the more than twenty officials, and then said: "Most of them were directly transferred from your governor's yamen in Henan, and only six of them were transferred from the Yanjing Tianwenjing Mansion with me."

"In this way, the officials from Yanjing are out of the ranks!"

Suddenly, the six people from Tian Wenjing's mansion immediately stood up.

"Eleven of you as the front team, ride fast horses overnight to return to Henan to supervise the local officials to investigate the situation, you yourself also supplement the investigation and collect evidence, and the rest of the people as the rear team, and then arrive"

"Yes, sir!"

The ten men immediately confronted the crowd and then descended the mountain first.

Looking at the backs of these people who were far away, Runzhi said to the rest of the head catchers and officials: "You guys should also go back to the post station to rest first, and we will set off again tomorrow morning."

"Yes, sir!"

Haozi and Xiaohan said goodbye to Runzhi and returned to the post station with all the fast officials.

"Don't you want them to come along with this unique view?" , Qing'er pretended to be very curious and asked, in fact, Qing'er of course knew very well that the two of them had long been hiding in their hearts about each other's intentions, but both of them were the kind of workaholic people in the legend, so they didn't care about their children's personal feelings in order to work.

As a normal person, how much when facing each other, no matter how rational you are, it is not as simple as a simple hug between the two.

Runzhi spread his hands and said in an unrestrained posture: "Let them go back, naturally so that they can enjoy the extremely beautiful scenery of the Yellow Mountain, you think that if we continue to let these fast officials follow us, it will not take two hours, and the surrounding officials will definitely come to meet each other, and at that time, how can we have time to play carefully." ”

"You are always so thoughtful about the problem, this case is also very important, my father asked you in the letter to ask you to be transferred to Henan as the governor this time, only temporarily, of course, there is a reason."

"And why?" , Runzhi is obviously very interested in this question, but in fact, such a question already has some answers in Runzhi's heart.

Runzhi stared carefully at Qing'er's eyes that glowed with a charming light, and under her soft gaze, Runzhi could feel a unique emotional power.

Qing'er had already noticed that Runzhi was staring at her, so she gently pulled the pink silk scarf up, blinked her eyes, and continued:

"My father is looking forward to your actions, the aftermath of the epidemic in Henan also has a long way to go, and the Mohist thought has a long history, and someone must have great ambitions."

Not far away, on the willow tree, two gray finches carefully combed each other's feathers, and a line of egrets suddenly flew through the sky, and the wisps of green smoke slowly rose under the mountain, and then disappeared into the vast sky.
