Although Zhou Guangsheng's visit to the barracks was secret, it also reached the ears of many people. But no one knows what Zhou Guangsheng, who has no backing, is holding in his hand.

Most people felt that Zhou Guangsheng was also in the "early send-off" team, so he went to the barracks to intercede, but he didn't go home for a few days, but it hung up on other people's hearts.

Five days later, Zhou Guangsheng returned to Guangzhou in a haggard state, and immediately someone reported to various officials, and all the big guys gathered at the prefect's yamen to "shush the cold and ask for warmth" to the prefect.

Among the people who came, there were those who scolded Jia for his lack of morality, those who sympathized with Zhou Guangsheng, and those who pretended not to know anything and secretly inquired about the news.

Zhou Guangsheng coped with it for a while, and on the grounds that he was tired, he went straight back to the backyard, and it was not good for these officials to follow up with other people's homes all the time.

Fortunately, Zhou Guangsheng is back, which means that Jia Yu's old boy let him go, which is another excellent news for them.

It's just that Zhou Guangsheng refused to say anything, which made everyone a little dissatisfied.

Otherwise, Zhou Guangsheng couldn't find a backer, although he also paid bribes, but he was not tactful enough and didn't know how to stand in line, and it was no wonder that he couldn't even move a nest for more than ten years.

Everyone laughed at Zhou Guangsheng privately and dispersed.

Zhou Guangsheng returned to the back house here, and when he saw his wife, the two hugged their heads and cried. The prefect's wife wiped her tears and asked him: "Why did you go so much, the concubine almost thought that the master would not come back." ”

Zhou Guangsheng sighed: "Your Majesty values Governor Jia, it seems that it is not because he is a childhood friend of Your Majesty. In the barracks these past few days, I have really benefited a lot. Governor Jia seems to be confused, but he is actually wise and foolish.

"My account book has been hidden by my side for so many years, but there is nothing I can do. When it was in his hands, there was a countermeasure immediately, and it could even be said that it was leaky. ”

When the prefect's wife heard this, she said: "Dashan, with this move, presumably in the future, the corrupt officials in the two regions will have to shrink their heads and be honest for at least a few years." ”

Zhou Guangsheng wiped his face with his sleeve and said: "When I left, the Governor said to me that he wanted me to make meritorious service for my crimes, and said that I should not forget my original intention.

"I have reflected all the way, and I am indeed ashamed of the people of Limin. I pride myself on being better at reading than others, but I am not as thorough and firm as a bad person.

"Now it's a slap in the face, and it really sobers me up. From now on, I will not ask for anything else, but that the Governor will continue to be re-elected, and that he will not leave until Guangzhou is clean. ”

The couple sighed again, the food was also delivered, and the prefect's wife served Zhou Guangsheng to freshen up and change clothes, so she asked Zhou Guangsheng to eat first.

Zhou Guangsheng took two bites, raised his head and said, "Go and call the master." ”

The prefect's wife answered, sent someone to the yamen to inform the master, and she retreated to the inner room.

After a while, Master Wenyi came in from outside, and after saluting, he opened his mouth and asked, "The master is not good to rest, what is the matter with me?" ”

Zhou Guangsheng sighed: "After so many days, this year's performance appraisal is probably flat again." If you don't make amends, let alone return to Beijing to resume your post, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford to be re-elected. What is going on in the city in the days I have been gone? ”

Wen Yi replied: "Master don't worry, if you don't die, there will be a blessing in the future, and now that the Governor has let the master go, there will definitely be good things in the future." ”

Zhou Guangsheng was impatient to listen to this, and asked in a heavier tone: "I asked you if there is a big event in the city." ”

Wen Yi hurriedly said: "Speaking of big things, it's not a big deal." It's just that the Governor has recently cracked down on bandits, and many fishermen have fled outside the city. The villain has sent officials to register and arranged them in a grass hut outside the city. ”

Zhou Guangsheng asked again: "Since it has been registered, why don't you let it into the city." How can the grass hut outside the city make a living, won't this make them starve to death in vain? ”

Wen Yi frowned and said, "I am afraid that it is not clear to say it with empty words and white teeth." Today, please rest for a day, and tomorrow you will see it outside the city for yourself. ”

Zhou Guangsheng scolded: "God is chattering, what are you resting on." If the refugees had not been resettled, there would not have been even peace this year. Well, I'm done eating now, so go and prepare your horses, and we'll go out of the city to see." ”

Wen thought that the prefect had indeed eaten almost enough, so he withdrew and asked someone to set up the horse. After a while, Zhou Guangsheng came to the stable by himself, and the two turned over and ran out of the city.

There are two gates in the north and south of Guangzhou City, the south gate goes out, which is the direction of Xin'an County, and the north gate goes out to Jiangxi.

Zhou Guangsheng went to the north gate first, and saw that there were only two or three people who seemed to be refugees living in the grass house, so he turned around and went to the south gate.

Outside the south gate, there are a lot of people.

The grass house outside the city gate is a temporary overnight stay for travelers who have missed the time to enter the city. There were only two or three grass houses, but now they are crowded by refugees.

Zhou Guangsheng turned around, and his brows gradually furrowed. After turning around, he sat down in a teahouse outside the city, ordered a pot of tea and a plate of snacks, and sat down and drank slowly.

The prefect of the text did not speak, and neither did he. Until Zhou Guangsheng stood up and said, "Let's go, go back." ”

Wenyi called Dr. Tea, gave the tea money, and asked, "Are there any new arrivals today?" ”

Dr. Nacha said with a smile: "Yo, how can this refugee come every day, and it's not a big disaster like a flood, it's just a few fishermen around the area, who want to take refuge, and go to Xin'an County more often, and those who can come to Guangzhou are also close to us." ”

Wenyi hummed, followed Zhou Guangsheng on the horse, and went all the way back to the backyard of the prefect's yamen.

The two entered the study, and when the little maid brought the tea, Wenyi closed the door casually, walked to the table and asked softly, "My lord, look?" ”

Zhou Guangsheng's face sank like water, staring at the table and whispering: "I'm afraid it's not good." ”

Wen Yi responded: "The villain also thinks so, these refugees are not the same batch. In the first few days, a group of people came, although they were thin and tattered, but when the villain looked closely, he felt that their eyes were extremely fierce. ”

Zhou Guangsheng nodded and said, "You're talking about the two grass huts on the left side of the city gate, right?" The one on the right doesn't look like a gang. A tall person, with a capable body, although his clothes are tattered, he can't see any dust, and everyone's face is clean, he must have a good life on weekdays, so he can be so exquisite. ”

Wen Yi continued: "What your lord said is extremely true, these two groups of people don't look like they are in a group, but they are both suspicious. The villain didn't dare to be careless, so he could only let them settle in the grass house. ”

Zhou Guangsheng pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "It's not a way to live in the grass house all the time. Send someone to find two courtyards on the outskirts of the south of the city, and arrange these two groups of people together. ”
