The prefect of Guangzhou is also among the "early send-offs", Zhou Guangsheng lives in the prefect's mansion, he is the first to know about this, and he is also the first to send people to send those white things out of the city immediately.

With Zhou Guangsheng's actions, the families learned the same way and hurriedly sent things out.

When Zhou Guangsheng returned home, his wife didn't dare to make him angry, she looked at his face carefully, and asked him what to do after dinner.

Zhou Guangsheng let out a long sigh at this time, looked at the beams of the house, and his voice withered: "What can I do, I am different from others, everyone else has someone to help with it, but I have been busy for a few years, and I can't rely on a big tree." If Madame doesn't want to be implicated by me, I can take a letter of resignation, and Madame will take the children back to her parents' house, and there is still a way to live. ”

When the prefect's wife heard this, she couldn't help but cry loudly, and complained while crying: "At first, you only said that you should be a good official and a clean official. But after this good official is done, the family can't afford to support it. Now you are not like them, who are bold and greedy for military wages. But the basin is buckled on your head again, this is really a disaster from the sky! ”

Zhou Guangsheng had mixed feelings in his heart, he wanted to be a good official, but he had to be a bad official, which was no wonder to others, only to blame himself for not being strong enough.

Now that the East Window incident happened, and he was also on the blacklist of the Governor, what can he do now. Those who are fat can send a letter to the capital for help, who will he go to?

I just ask Your Majesty to open the net, if he can keep his wife and children, it will be his last struggle.

That night, Zhou Guangsheng asked someone to lock it early, but he couldn't sleep while lying in bed. He thought of how high-spirited he was when he was the champion. After a few years of exile, His Majesty also trusts himself.

This prefect did not rely on others, but on his solid political achievements. Now he is in the position of this prefect, and he has been sitting for more than ten years, and he has never made any achievements.

Is this to blame someone else? Zhou Guangsheng reflected, why did Governor Jia come, and the flood that had not progressed for many years was solved back then, and even became the object of study in other regions.

Is there really so many problems in people's livelihood, or is it not diligent enough, not clever enough, and not decisive enough?

I didn't understand the local advantages and disadvantages in advance before I took office, I didn't work hard to solve problems after I took office, and I didn't keep my original intention when my sleeves were clear, and I didn't do that kind of raccoon dog.

Looking back on the journey of officialdom in the past 20 years, Zhou Guangsheng burst into tears and finally became annoyed.

Now, is there really no place to return?

He looked at the bed curtain and thought all night, and when the first rooster crow came from the window, he sat up resolutely, solemnly changed into the official mansion, took out a book from the cabinet, and stuffed it into his arms.

"Come on, prepare the horses!"

The prefect's wife woke up, got up and asked, "My lord is early in the morning, where are you going if you don't go to the yamen?" ”

Zhou Guangsheng glanced back at his wife, and smiled gloomily from her: "Madam, send someone to guard the city gate, if I don't come back tonight, then you and I still have a way to live." If you see me coming back...... Then you pack your bags and leave with your children first! ”

The prefect's wife was startled and hurriedly got off the bed, but Zhou Guangsheng walked out of the house without looking back.

The prefect's wife hurriedly freshened up, tidied up, and drove to Jiafu.

There is no hostess in Jiafu at the moment, how can he receive her. Jia Lian had already instructed his subordinates, no matter who came to ask for a meeting, they would only say that the family was infected with the epidemic, and his wife and grandmother were all sick, so it was not suitable to receive them.

This Guangzhou city has long been ordered by Governor Jia to be cleaned up, and even more people are sent to clean the streets and dead corners every day. Since Governor Jia took office, he has not been committed. Who would believe such a reason?

But no matter how much she knew that it was a lie, the prefect's wife didn't dare to break in. She had to wipe her tears and drive back, and then listened to her husband's arrangement, and sent her subordinates to guard the city gate to see if the lord would come back tonight.

Seeing that the day passed and the sun gradually sank in the west, the prefect's wife's hanging heart finally fell when the yamen rang the closing bell.

"There is salvation...... Saved? The prefect's wife trembled her lips and tugged at her clothes tightly, her face was already full of tears at this time, but she didn't care to wipe it.

In the Guangzhou military camp dozens of miles away, Zhou Guangsheng knelt on the ground, and the sweat had already soaked the land in front of him.

The loess was mixed with sweat and gradually turned into dirt, but he didn't even dare to get out of the atmosphere, let alone wipe the sweat or move his position.

Jia Liang sat in the tent and looked down at the account book, until there was no light in the tent, and the soldiers outside came in to give Jia Liang a palm, he looked up, and then "unexpectedly" found Zhou Guangsheng kneeling on the ground.

"Yo, Governor Zhou, why are you still kneeling? Hurry up, get up. ”

Zhou Guangsheng didn't dare to get up, he only knelt down and said: "The lower official deserves death, I don't dare to ask the adult to spare the life of the lower official, I just ask the adult to leave a queen for the lower official, so that the wife and children of the lower official have a way to live." ”

Jia Liang threw away the account book, leaned back on the chair, Erlang's legs were cocked, and he smiled evilly.

"What did Governor Zhou say, why didn't the official understand? Zhou Zhifu explained to the official, you also know that the official has not read much, and he is a muddy person, where can he understand the obscure words of a scholar like Zhou Zhifu? ”

It's really rare to call yourself a muddy person.

But when Zhou Governor's Mansion heard it, he shuddered.

He kowtowed to the ground again and begged bitterly: "The matter of the lower officials' greed for ink, the adults have already seen everything. The subordinate officials did not dare to quibble, nor did they dare to excuse themselves. But the wife and children of the lower official are innocent, and they beg the adults to give them a way out. ”

Jia Liang sighed and smiled: "What should I be, it turns out that this is the case." Don't worry, you are greedy for a small amount, and there are many people who have returned this reward, and Your Majesty can't really kill them all, right?

"This is also a matter of importance, and those who are much more greedy will naturally raid their homes and exterminate their families, so as to set an example and act according to the law. But if you are so greedy, at most you just cut officials for the people and recycle the silver that is greedy for ink.

"But ......"

Jia Liang is also a bad person, so he has to say something very nice first, and then scary: "But I heard that there are too many officials involved this time, Your Majesty is furious, and you will definitely strictly rectify this greedy ink." I'm afraid that His Majesty will be angry at that time, and no matter what he does, he will be beheaded all of them, and maybe he will be killed. ”

When Zhou Guangsheng heard this, he was so frightened that he was about to pee out, he sat on the ground with his buttocks and said with a desperate face: "But ...... But the lower officials are also a last resort. ”
