Chapter 739: Eight Hundred Miles Urgent
In the end, Jia Jin still listened to her mother and did nothing.
He knew that he knew far less about his father than he did about his mother. And the mother is still very sober, she is still the wise woman, and she will not make foolish decisions.
He believed in his mother!
It's just that Zhou Guangsheng's life was very difficult, and after returning to the prefect's yamen, the first thing he did was to call the yamen, notify the Guangzhou garrison, and ask people to submit a report online, and carefully check the situation of the civil unrest. so that the commander of the garrison can report when he comes.
If you look closely, you can see that something is wrong.
Zhou Guangsheng read this line five times repeatedly, and finally spread it on the back of the chair, and the cold sweat on his back flowed to his feet and neck.
Where is this civil unrest, this is clearly a pretense of civil unrest to murder the court officials!
How can these people have such courage!
Zhou Guangsheng stayed awake all night, pacing back and forth in the study, staying up all night with his master, and finally sat down at the desk before dawn.
"Master, I can't write such an excerpt!" The master pleaded bitterly: "Not to mention whether this matter is what the master estimated, even if it is true, the master does not have to be like this." ”
Zhou Guangsheng gritted his teeth and wrote with a pen. Xu has been thinking about it for a long time, and the whole excerpt is written down, flowing smoothly without a pause.
It was only after writing the last word that he had just put down his pen that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He hurriedly picked up the fold, looked at it carefully, and handed it to the master casually.
"Eight hundred miles expedited!"
The master looked at him with tears in his eyes for a while, and finally sighed and went out with the fold.
Zhou Guangsheng sat on the chair for a long time, and it was not until noon that he came out of the study, and walked back with decadent steps.
He took a plea, confessed all the bribes and corruption he had received during this time, and then pushed the civil unrest on his head.
In this way, you may be able to save the reputation of the Governor, right? He thought that the governor had only been in office for three years, and he had served as a parent official in Guangzhou for more than ten years. Even if there is a public grudge, it is against him, and His Majesty will naturally no longer blame the Governor.
This fold was sent to the capital, and it will take three months to wait for His Majesty's reply. In three months, how could the civil unrest be suppressed, and then he would be escorted back to Beijing, and he would be able to go on the road with peace of mind.
It's just that he didn't know that this excerpt had just been sent out, and before he left Guangzhou Mansion, he was stopped at the post station.
The person who stopped this excerpt was Zhang Zhen.
Zhang Zhen went to the barracks yesterday and told his brother Zhang Lin about it in a hurry, and then immediately rushed home to protect the governor's relatives. As soon as he entered the door, Jia Jin found him and told him to pay attention to the news of the prefect, and if the prefect sent a letter, he must stop it.
Zhang Zhen thought that the civil unrest was related to the prefect, and he was indignant, so he kept staring at the prefect's yamen for a moment.
Sure enough, as Jia Sanye expected, the prefect's yamen really sent an expedited express out. Zhang Zhen followed all the way, and finally stopped the people at the post station, tied them up, and sent them to Jiafu together.
The kidnapped officials were stunned, he just sent a letter, and the governor's personal soldiers stopped the excerpt, why did he still arrest him, could it be that there was some secret, to kill people and kill people?
But who knew that he was kidnapped and taken to Jiafu, he was immediately untied, and the third master of the Jia family even asked him to be placed in the guest house, with good food and drink, but he was put under house arrest and did not let him leave.
The official who delivered the letter was in a hurry, and he knew that in the years since his lord took office, he had not sent a single urgent express to his superiors. This must be very important now, but why did the Governor send someone to stop it?
He didn't know what the truth was, but he heard from the people of the Jia family that the civil unrest outside was getting louder and louder, and the people of the civil unrest were already approaching Guangzhou City.
The official who delivered the letter was panicking, and Zhou Guangsheng was also panicking.
He had obviously heard that the governor's family had sent someone to deliver a letter to the barracks, and he also sent someone to the barracks to deliver the letter in order to ensure confirmation. But why did the garrison delay in suppressing it, and even let the rebellious people approach the city of Guangzhou step by step?
Some of the people in the city have also heard the news, and it has been spreading. In recent days, the people of Guangzhou City have been in a panic, and the people have petitioned in front of the prefect's yamen and the governor's yamen, but no one from the two yamen has come out to pay attention to this matter.
Zhou Guangsheng deliberately ignored it, if he wanted to carry this matter off the black pot, he had to make a stupid appearance. But he couldn't figure out why the Governor's Yamen ignored it, and what was the Governor thinking?
Zhou Guangsheng sent people to inquire a few more times, and heard that the governor was still sick and did not go to the yamen, and his hair was much whiter.
"My lord, it's really not good, let's borrow troops like the garrison of Guangxi Prefecture, right?" The master was also anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he felt bad when he saw that Master Zhou had aged more than ten years overnight.
He was rescued by Zhou Guangsheng on the road when he came to Guangzhou to take office. At that time, he was only in his early twenties, and he was full of ambition for revenge, but he was framed by villains several times, and he couldn't think about committing suicide. If it weren't for Zhou Guangsheng who saved him and gave him this master's errand, his life would have been gone long ago.
He knew that Zhou Guangsheng wanted to be a good official, but in such an environment, being a good official would be excluded and constrained, and finally he would have to go along with those people.
But now, Lord Zhou is finally willing to change his ways, why did he encounter this kind of thing again.
Zhou Guangsheng sighed a few times, and said to the master: "Call the city defenders, let's quell the chaos ourselves!" Although this official is a civil official, he also had some riding and archery skills when he was young, how can he be underestimated!
Order, from today onwards, all the defenders of the city will take shifts day and night, patrol outside the city, and report back as soon as they find any trace of the rioters! ”
The master looked at Zhou Guangsheng with a helpless face, and finally bowed deeply: "Yes!" ”
The people's uneasiness did not subside because of the actions of the Zhou Governor. More and more people, with the news of the approaching civil unrest, fled with their families to other counties and cities.
Seeing this Guangzhou city, more and more people left, and even in the end, even the beggars in the ruined temple outside the city were gone. The whole city of Guangzhou is like an empty city. Except for the local officials who did not dare to leave their posts without permission, the rest of the people almost ran away.
Zhou Guangsheng had never seen such a situation in his life, and he sighed for a long time. No matter how afraid of death the people are, they don't have to run away so cleanly, right? Although his prefect is poor, there are still defenders of the city, and those chaotic people have no weapons, can they still beat the defenders?
