Chu Jinglian slowly returned to the small building in the backyard of Yuhuang Terrace, bowing his head and thinking along the way. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Zhao Yushan saw Chu Jinglian coming back, gave a salute, and said, "The staff is back." ”

Chu Jinglian didn't answer this question, which was not a question, but asked Zhao Yushan instead: "What do you think we should do with this new prefect?"

Zhao Yushan saw Chu Jinglian's thoughts, and said with a smile: "This person seems to be modest, but in fact, the city government is very deep. This temptation did not see the details of Liu Jingxuan. Maybe we're too anxious and unfamiliar with each other. Today's rash invitation, Liu Jingxuan may be guilty. ”

Chu Jinglian thought about it, nodded in agreement, and said, "You are right, today is indeed a bit abrupt. I really underestimated him. But this Liu Jingxuan, we still have to win over. Without the trust of the prefect of Yangzhou, it will be difficult for us to accomplish our work. I don't believe he's not flawed. ”

Zhao Yushan smiled and asked, "What do you want to do outside?"

Chu Jinglian pondered for a long time and said, "Do what you like." ”

Liu Jingxuan and Xiao Rang sat in the carriage arranged by Chu Jinglian, silent, each thinking about their own thoughts.

Returning to the mansion and walking into the compound, Xiao Rang opened his mouth and asked: "This Chu member is so generous when he goes out, his family background must be deep." Do you want me to check on him, sir?"

Liu Jingxuan smiled: "No." I also want to find out the murderer through him. I met for the first time today, so the Guo family's case was not mentioned. I see that this person has hands and eyes in Yangzhou Mansion and has strong strength. If you visit him secretly, he will know that it is not beautiful. I'll get to know it slowly another day, so I'm not in a hurry. Don't startle the snake. ”

Xiao Rang nodded yes.

The next day, there were three things in Yangzhou City that caused the city to be stormy.

The first is that the new prefect Liu Jingxuan opened the mansion, and from the time of Mao to the time of You, anyone can directly enter the government to complain. If you can't read and don't have a pleading, the chief administrator Xiao Rang can arrange for the torture officer in the torture room to write.

The second is that Liu Jingxuan posted all the gifts he received and disposed of them differently.

The antique shop of Qiu Jun, the younger brother of Bo Keshan, was converted into a hall of fame, and celebrity calligraphy and paintings, rare antiques, pearl agate, cat's eye tourmaline, and silk and satin were displayed in the Hall of Fame for auction. And the names of the people who gave these celebrity calligraphy and paintings, and rare antiques were engraved on the plaque in the Hall of Fame. All the silver obtained by auction shall be registered.

In Yangzhou City, he rented the largest pharmacy as a medical hall, named Guang'an Hall, and placed the valuable medicinal materials collected in it.

All the silver received and auctioned was divided into three parts: first, to run a school, which only accepted students whose families were poor and had no money to go to private schools, and hired teachers and men; second, to hire famous doctors and open medical centers, and only to accept patients who were poor and could not buy medicine; and finally, to recruit people, build water conservancy, dredge the upper and lower reaches of the Jiajiang River, and dig aqueducts.

The third is the matter of the defeat of the Governor of Liu on the pattern of the chess saint Lin Daohong.

The first two were posted by the prefect. As soon as the notice was posted, the people of Yangzhou City rushed to tell each other. Although everyone had heard of Liu Jingxuan's reputation in Gaoyou County before he took office, the local people in Yangzhou were still very excited after seeing it.

This third thing is not very exciting, but the people of Yangzhou have been discussing it for a longer time and a wider range. Because there are still Qing officials in Jiangsu Dao today, but I haven't heard of anyone who can win against Lin Daohong in chess.

The name of Lin Daohong Chess Saint was not obtained casually. He learned Go from a famous teacher since he was a child, and has been immersed in black and white for decades. Although it is not invincible in the world, there are almost no people from the north and south of the river who have come to learn from Lin Daohong. Especially in the past ten years, Lin Daohong has settled in Yangzhou, and he has devoted himself to studying the art of tattooing, and no one has beaten him in a game. And the new prefect Liu Jingxuan heard that he was just passing by Slender West Lake, and on a whim, he destroyed the chess saint. This made the people of Yangzhou even more unbelievable.

In the courtyard of the Jin Mansion in the south of Yangzhou City, after listening to everything Cheng Haoran said, the young man did not speak, but paced back and forth in the courtyard.

After a while, he stopped, turned to Cheng Haoran and said, "Although I feel that this Liu Jingxuan is a smart person, I didn't expect to underestimate him." ”

Cheng Haoran said: "Yes! This Liu Jingxuan's victory over the chess saint shows that his talent is extraordinary, not to mention that he can receive gifts without enjoying himself, and give wide favors to help the poor." ”

The young man nodded and said, "You are right. In fact, I don't recommend this skill of piano and chess, because I think that no matter how exquisite the skill is, it is just a small way. But Liu Jingxuan was able to be neither greedy nor bribed, and he was promoted from the prefect to the prefect, which is absolutely unattainable. Moreover, in recent years, there have been repeated floods in Shanxi, Henan, Shandong, Jiangsu and other places, and he was able to take the initiative to control the river, which was a big sycophant to Zhang Pengxi, the governor of the Jiangnan River. If you go to check the foundation of Liu Jingxuan, you must check carefully. His hometown, his relatives, friends, family members, etc. If someone else can't do it, you can do it yourself. ”

Cheng Haoran took the order with a "sigh".

The young man turned to He Wenruo and said, "How did I do the things I told you?"

He Wenruo hurriedly stepped forward and said, "The servant has received the news that the prince was reprimanded by the emperor because of Bo Keshan's matter, and now he has thought about it behind closed doors in the East Palace. And soon the fourth and thirteenth masters will secretly go out of Beijing and come to Jiangsu to investigate the official salt case. The ninth and tenth masters heard that they were going to come here. For this reason, the governor Ah Shan and the governor of Jiangsu, Song Ju, are ready to welcome the princes. ”

The young man smiled and said: "Last year, the prince was imprisoned for several months because of Suo Etu, and this year there is another incident between Bo Keshan and Cheng Qian. I am afraid that the saint's favor for the crown prince will be greatly reduced. The fourth elder brother and the thirteenth elder brother came this time, and they must have wanted to see if the princeling's actions were fair. In addition, he didn't want the eighth elder brother to fall into the well against the prince at this time, and limit the power of the eighth elder brother. And how could the eighth elder brother easily lose such a good opportunity, so he sent the ninth elder brother and the tenth elder brother here. The princelings and the Eight Masters will inevitably make waves here, and the governor Ah Shan and the governor Song Ju are afraid that they will suffer. ”

He Wenruo asked softly again, "Master, do we need to pay attention to Murong Jielie?"

The young man thought for a moment and said, "Don't bother him. Wait until the princes arrive in Yangzhou City, and closely monitor their every move. ”

He Wenruo also retreated with a "sigh".

After the prefect Liu Jingxuan issued the notice, he began to set about three major events: running a school, opening a medical center, and building a water conservancy.

In order to choose the address of the township school, Liu Jingxuan really spent a lot of effort.

On this day, he and Xiao Rang came to Dongcheng, saw a rather large courtyard, and heard the sound of reading coming from the courtyard. Liu Jingxuan and Xiao made the two curious, so they stopped outside the courtyard.

The walls of this courtyard are about one and a half feet high and are made of red bricks. The gate also looks a little in disrepair, and the paint is basically gone.

Liu Jingxuan handed Xiao Rang a color.

Xiao Rang understood, stepped forward and knocked on the knocker.

After a while, the door creaked open to both sides, and a teacher of about fifty walked out. The teacher was dressed in a gray cloth robe, tall, but somewhat thin.

He looked Xiao Rang up and down, and then looked at Liu Jingxuan who was standing not far away, feeling a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

Mr. Teaching asked hesitantly, "I don't know what Your Excellency is doing?"
