Chapter 246 Be upright and cherish feathers

The weather in Hangzhou is changeable. By evening, it was already drizzling.

The carriage walked on the bluestone of the street, making crisp sounds.

Li Xuan looked out through the car curtains. Throughout Hangzhou, countless pavilions and pavilions stood in the hazy mist and rain, which was particularly poetic and picturesque.

[Zong Ling, the true immortal Taoist woman, the great perfection of the innate true seed state]

[Xin Jian, the master of Wushengdao Mountain South Hall, the Great Perfection of the Innate True Seed Realm]

These two entries started in the morning and have been followed until now.

No one from the Tianyin Sect came forward, but other sects from the Demon Sect were wandering in front of Li Xuan.

This makes it difficult for Li Xuan to take action. This is Hangzhou, and who knows how many people are secretly watching his every move.

Observe him, record him, study all his moves.

The killer of Wusheng Dao, the Taoist girl of True Immortal Dao, lurking in secret, plotting evil,

It's a pity that this is not Wuzhou, otherwise Li Xuan would have mobilized a large force to surround them.

This is Hangzhou. If you want to kill them, you have to choose a place with few people and then send them to hell.

…

Withdrawing her gaze, Li Xuan lowered her head and looked at the secret file in her hand.

The Qianniu Guards under Qiu Zhenmu had only been out for half a day, but they had already found out a lot about the deeds of Mr. Qi.

A native of Hangzhou, this Mr. Qi is actually a native of Hangzhou.

His so-called aunt was the concubine of Yuan Jiazuo, the governor of Hangzhou.

Yuan Jiazuo is a native of Youzhou, where he was born in Hebei.

He was a Jinshi during the Zhenguan period and was transferred to Hangzhou three years ago to serve as the governor of Hangzhou.

Yuan Jiazuo was an upright man, so he left his wife to support his mother in his hometown in Youzhou, and he came to Hangzhou with his bookboy and master to work.

But perhaps because of his loneliness, or perhaps because of the "good intention" of the Hangzhou aristocratic family, Yuan Jiazuo married this Qi woman as his concubine, and incidentally accepted the "filial piety" of many aristocratic families in Hangzhou.

Perhaps because of this, Yuan Governor's governance in Hangzhou began to go smoothly.

Yuan Jiazuo was one of the few governors Li Xuan had encountered over the years who could truly love his people like his own son.

When he took office, he dredged rivers, taught farmers and mulberry trees, conducted public trials and prisons, attracted foreign businessmen, and suppressed wealthy families.

Remarkable political achievements.

How could such a governor create a useless guy like Mr. Qi?

Closing the secret file in her hand, Li Xuan pondered in her heart, whether this was intentional or out of favor.

Thinking about what Mr. Qi and Hu Yu did today, we can confirm that the conflicts between these aristocratic families in Hangzhou and this Yuan governor have once again amplified after many years of honeymoon period.

Li Xuan's appearance now has become the trump card to break this deadlock of balance.

…

"Your Majesty, the governor's office has arrived!" Qiu Zhenmu's voice sounded in front of the car.

Li Xuan tidied up briefly, then opened the car curtain and walked out.

An oil-paper umbrella was held above the head. Under the gloomy weather, lanterns had been hung up at the Hangzhou Governor's Mansion.

Hangzhou Governor Shi Huyu was waiting at the door. When he saw Li Xuan appear, he immediately stepped forward to greet him.

"I've met the prince, please, prince!" Hu Yu held an umbrella in his hand and took the lead in leading the way.

Hangzhou Governor's Mansion occupies a vast area. As soon as you enter the courtyard, you will see a huge empty courtyard. When Li Xuan stepped in, the official mansions on both sides were already empty.

"I heard that Yuan Changshi was in power in Hangzhou and governed the Qingming Dynasty. Officials in Hangzhou rarely arrive late or leave early, and they usually don't have to work extra hours. Is this possible?" Li Xuan turned his head and said this suddenly.

Hu Yu nodded and said: "This is true. Governor Yuan sympathizes with us. Sometimes he can go home as long as he finishes his official duties. However, there must be no mistakes in this official work. Otherwise, he will be reprimanded immediately. In serious cases, he will be directly punished.

He was dismissed from office, so no one dared to show any signs of neglect."

"Yuan Jishi is really a wise man!" Li Xuan exclaimed. Yuan Jiazuo is one of the few people in the world who can understand the word efficiency in this era.

Li Xuan never thought that she would meet this No. 1 person in Hangzhou.

In the courtyard of the backyard, the lights are bright, but only bright, not deliberately to the point of being brightly lit.

An old man in his fifties, wearing a black linen robe, with a thin build, a short straight beard, a wrinkled face, and sunken eyes, stood at the door of the nave, looking at the wind and rain outside, also waiting for Li Xuan.

Seeing Li Xuan coming from afar, Yuan Jiazuo immediately became solemn.

Li Xuan came to the door and first raised her hand to Yuan Jiazuo: "Young man Li Xuan, I have met Yuan Jishi."

"I have met the Prince of Nanchang County." Yuan Jiazuo returned the gift politely, then extended his hand and said: "Your Majesty, please!"

"Yuan Weng, please!" Li Xuan followed Yuan Jiazuo and walked into the central hall.

In the middle hall, there is only an old round table. On the table are a plate of fish, a plate of edamame, a plate of bamboo shoots, and a pot of old wine.

Quite frugal, even a little excessive.

"I have long heard that Yuan Jishi was diligent and thrifty. I am really ashamed to see Xuan today." Li Xuan sincerely raised her hand to Yuan Jiazuo.

Although Qiu Zhenmu's men had previously launched an investigation into Mr. Qi, they also investigated the reputation of Yuan Jiazuo, the governor of Hangzhou.

He is not only upright and loving to the people, he is also diligent, honest and fair.

The people of Hangzhou are now about to put Qingtian's name on his forehead.

Looking at Yuan Jiazuo's slightly worn black robe, Li Xuan sighed in his heart, if this person is not a treacherous traitor, then he is one of the rare honest officials in the world.

"Your Majesty, please take a seat." Yuan Jiazuo waited for Li Xuan to sit down first, then sat down beside him, and then said softly: "A few days ago, I heard about the poem that Your Majesty wrote when he was in Yangzhou.

, The eagle strikes the sky, who doesn't know, the young hero is admirable."

Yuan Jiazuo spoke very slowly, as if he was carefully considering every word, which made Li Xuan couldn't help but concentrate. It's not easy to deal with such a person!

"To be honest with Yuan Weng, although it was made by the boy at that time, it was actually thought over and over again in the past few days before it finally took shape." At this point, Li Xuan sighed with emotion and said: "From the capital of God

, to Yangzhou, and then to Hangzhou, the boy felt that the wind and rain were coming suddenly, and if he was not careful, he would be in danger of capsizing..."

"I understand that the prince is worried that the Tianyin Sect's power will endanger the stability of the entire Jiangnan. I understand this." Yuan Jiazuo nodded, but then chuckled and said: "People like this are just treacherous villains.

That’s all, everything they do is done in darkness, and it is difficult to see the light of day. Everything they do is mostly based on luck, but if there is disharmony, they will immediately be defeated.”

"Yuan Weng is thorough." Li Xuan lamented, aren't the people in the Tianyin Sect just like rats hiding in the dark sewers?

They don't dare to see the light of day, but they have to do it forcefully, so they don't see any chance. Maybe it's not uncommon to end up killing each other.

The key is that Yuan Jiazuo's Qingming rule in Hangzhou almost destroyed the foundation of the Tianyin Sect's uprising.

Even if they wanted to do it by force, it would be difficult for them to reach the level of Muzhou and Wuzhou.

"However, it should be noted that Yuan Weng is the pillar of Hangzhou. If the Tianyin rebels attack Yuan Weng, the situation will immediately be in danger of overturning." Li Xuan sat there and reminded her seriously.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will not leave the Governor's compound during this period of time. They will not directly enter the Governor's compound. If such a day comes, let alone the Governor's Mansion,

Even the entire city of Hangzhou will fall into the hands of those people. At that time, it won't matter whether they attack the governor's mansion or not."

Yuan Jiazuo's words were quite calm. The situation in Hangzhou was now lurking in crisis, and he acknowledged it directly.

"Yuan Weng's heroic spirit is admired by the little king." As he said that, Li Xuan took out a letter from his arms and handed it over, and at the same time said: "This is a letter written by the prince, the supervisor of the palace, when the junior left the capital. Now,

Judging from Yuan Weng's arrogance, I think the boy did a little bad."

"It doesn't matter." Yuan Jiazuo waved his hands with a smile and said: "What the prince has done is right. He has not received a letter from his old friend for many years. Wang Dezhen can take a step forward from the Weiwei Siqing and be promoted to the palace supervisor. I am also quite satisfied.

Feelings."

Yuan Jiazuo and Wang Dezhen, the former minister of Weiwei Temple, were of the same age. One was the governor of Shangzhou and the other was the eunuch of the palace. They were not much different.

"With Yuan Weng here, I don't need to have any wild ideas about what happened in Hangzhou. However, when I met your nephew Mr. Qi today, I always felt that there were some secretly instigating people around him. What happened today is quite strange." Li Xuan

He changed his tone and spoke about today's events lightly.

It is not as easy as imagined for Hu Yu and others to borrow Li Xuan's sword.

Hearing what Li Xuan said, Yuan Jiazuo also felt a little surprised. He then nodded secretly and said: "He also told me the reasons behind this incident. He said that he listened to a friend's words and went to the dock.

It’s just those reckless actions, I hope the prince will forgive me.”

"There is nothing here, Xiao Wang, it's just..." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said: "Please Yuan Weng forgive me for being presumptuous, and ask the people around my nephew, Mr. Qi, to inquire carefully. If it happens at other times, maybe

There is no need to be so careful, but now, the Tianyin rebels are coming eagerly, and they will not let go of any opportunity they can seize, especially the Jiaofang Division..."

After speaking, Li Xuan lowered her head and looked at the wine glass in front of her.

The wine is flowing, asking questions about people's hearts.

Yuan Jiazuo nodded slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said in agreement: "The prince is very worried. I will immediately order people to close all the teachings in the city, and order my officials to strictly teach the children at home, at least in this month.

During this time, no one is allowed to act recklessly, and once it is verified, it will be dealt with strictly."
