At the request of Hash Qun, Tao Ziyun fell to the ground on the shore of Poyang Lake, where he docked his fishing boat, and placed the coffin of Hash Qun's eldest son under a willow tree.

Hash Qun said a lot of words of thanks to everyone, and everyone was not interested, and comforted Hash Qun politely.

Hashqun sat down on a stone and said weakly to Tao Ziyun, "Take the others to the governor's yamen, and then ask my wife and children to come and say goodbye to my eldest son." ”

"This is natural. Tao Ziyun solemnly agreed, and then took the others and flew to the Jiangxi Governor's Yamen.

Everyone fell in the Yamen compound, except for Tao Ziyun, and they all went to dinner.

Tao Ziyun found the wife and children of Hashqun, who had already had dinner with the others who stayed in the governor's yamen, and flew straight to the lake.

Hash had already lit a white lantern on the fishing boat and returned to stand by his eldest son's coffin.

Hashqun's wife and children, although they had been mentally prepared, still cried when they saw that scene.

"It has come to this, take care of your health. Tao Ziyun simply comforted them, and then said goodbye to them: "You guys get ready, tomorrow morning, I will take you back to your hometown." ”

The Hash family, in this atmosphere, in the face of Tao Ziyun's relief, could only nod with tears.

Tao Ziyun flew back to the governor's yamen, where He Renzhi was waiting for him: "Brother-in-law, go to the living room, you haven't eaten dinner yet." ”

As soon as Tao Ziyun entered the living room, Hashma said to Tao Ziyun: "Master Tao, after discussion, my family will accompany my younger brother and them back to their hometown tomorrow, and I have to trouble you to take us back!"

"Hey, brother-in-law, including me. He Renzhi next to him added.

"It's my duty! I have to say yes. Tao Ziyun sat down at the dining table and ate alone in full view of everyone.

Hashma was in his own place, and he didn't want to be cold. He told Tao Ziyun about the officialdom: "Master Tao, do you understand the difficulties of being an official?"

Tao Ziyun replied with some feelings: "I understand, the last time you were exiled to do hard labor, it was really a disaster from heaven. Now that you have encountered the problem of the hot hands of the Salt Gang and the Cao Gang, you have to deal with it carefully. ”

"Cao Yun, Yan Zheng, and River Gong, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, were known as the country's 'three major policies', and they were the central issues of national concern and discussion. Hashma said to Tao Ziyun earnestly in the tone of introducing experience, "These three major policies. It is related to the folk salt gang and Cao gang, and it is very difficult to deal with. As an official in Jiangnan, you will definitely face these problems, and you must go all out and be cautious. ”

Tao Ziyun did not talk about the experience of disobedient Hashma, and he responded calmly: "Well, I am taught. You are an official in Jiangnan, so handle these official affairs well. As for me, as the governor of Gangnam Province. It is necessary to properly supervise the officials in various parts of the Yangtze River and handle the process and results of these three major policies, and perhaps they can also assist the officials in various places. Strive to deal with these official affairs. ”

During the chat, Tao Ziyun put down the dishes and chopsticks, and Hashma told Tao Ziyun about the things in front of him: "What I said earlier is what I will do in the future." Now I decide. Let Zhao Juzhi go. This time, even if he has already made meritorious service to atone for his sins, let him not participate in violating the laws of the imperial court in the future. Tomorrow morning he will be able to go home. The matter between the Salt Gang and the Cao Gang will be dealt with separately. ”

Zhao Juzhi, who was sitting on the side, quickly got up and thanked Hashma: "Thank you Lord Ha for your grace! If you go back tomorrow, you will let your parents move to a distant place and break away from the Cao Gang! ”

Hashma just wanted to agree, but Tao Ziyun interjected: "It's not necessary. As long as you don't participate in doing bad things, it will still be beneficial to us if you continue to stay in the Cao Gang, even if you are the inside line of the government. ”

"Eh, Master Tao, this is a good idea! Just do it!" Hashma agreed with Tao Ziyun at this time.

Zhao Juzhi was still thinking about it, and later he said embarrassedly: "I'm afraid that if I stay in the Cao Gang, I have to do some bad things involuntarily." ”

Hashma and Tao Ziyun glanced at each other, and then assured Zhao Juzhi: "As long as you try not to do bad things, if you commit something as a last resort, the government will forgive you." ”

"In that case, I'll listen to the two adults. Zhao Juzhi finally agreed.

"There's one more thing to do. Tao Ziyun was as careful as a needle, he reminded Hashma and said: "Tomorrow send your eldest nephew back to his hometown to settle down, according to custom, let's bring some sacrificial supplies, while the shop is not closed, we will buy it overnight." ”

"Makes sense, let's go. Hashma immediately got up and walked out the door with Tao Ziyun.

......

After breakfast the next day, Hashma handed over some broken silver to Zhao Juzhi and sent him home. Then call Mrs. Luo Chunjian, Mrs. Luo Qiujian, daughter, and son-in-law together, bring the sacrificial supplies and burial tools bought last night, and let Tao Ziyun take them to Poyang Lake.

Hashqun's family felt very relieved to see that his brother's family had come.

Hashma said to his brother, "Don't say thanks, go back to your hometown now." Your fishing boat will continue to dock on the shore, will it be fine?"

Hashqun calmly told his brother: "It's going to be fine." This is the advantage of my eldest son joining the Cao Gang, in the rivers and lakes, the Cao Gang people are everywhere, they will secretly guard our ships, and now that my eldest son has passed away for their business, they will still protect us. ”

Hashma understood, and nodded in a complicated mood: "Oh, then let's go." ”

Tao Ziyun didn't say anything, and flew towards the prairie with the Ha family, coffins, sacrificial supplies, and burial tools.

The last time Hashma returned to his hometown where he lived, and the remnants of their lives, Tao Ziyun fell there. Hashqun, his wife, and his children unanimously decided to bury their newly deceased relatives there.

They worked together, and soon, a new tomb was erected there, and all the sacrificial items were used, which attracted many herdsmen from near and far to watch.

When Hashqun came back this time, he felt that his homeland was difficult to leave, and finally at the request of his wife and children, he asked Tao Ziyun to take them back to the fishing boat by Poyang Lake.

Hashma said to his brother's family, "The past is over, and in the future, you will go to the governor's yamen more often." ”

The Hash family said to Hashma with affection: "I know. ”

Tao Ziyun took the Hashma family back to the Jiangxi Governor's Yamen. The relatives on the other side of the order were waiting for them in the living room, and when they saw them coming back, they asked to go home.

Tao Ziyun took his relatives and friends over there and went straight back to his hometown!

In the following days, Tao Ziyun patrolled back and forth in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, supervising the official affairs of officials in various places, mainly the three major policies of Caoyun, Yanzheng, and Hegong. During the inspection, he constantly reported the situation to the emperor. (To be continued......)
