King of Song

Chapter 469 Time to run
"Surname Zhao?" Di Qing was a little confused, why did someone surnamed Zhao join in?
I have to say, maybe it was because the matter was so important, maybe it was because of years of scheming habits, things that were not very complicated in the first place, but experts like Han Qi and Di Qing were unavoidably suspicious.No one had ever imagined such a situation, and it vaguely made people laugh and cry.

But that's how it happened. As for the result, no one can say for sure!
"Send someone to watch, try to find out who it is, and what is the purpose of inquiring about the young master's whereabouts?"

"Yes!"

Di Qing believed that many people in Hebei Road were paying attention to the young master's whereabouts.

But why waste so much effort, it won't take much, the whole mystery will definitely be solved!It's time for the young master to make a move in Bozhou!
Either way, it would be best for old man Han to take care of one thing and lose another.Originally planned to do something in Daming Mansion to attract Han Xianggong's attention, but now it seems unnecessary!
The person surnamed Zhao is Zhao Weiyi!

It's not the surname of Zhao from the royal family of the Song Dynasty, but a Han Chinese living in the Liao Kingdom.He was ordered by Xiao Guanyin, Queen of the Liao Kingdom, to deliver a message to an official named Lin Zhao.

It seems a little inappropriate for a queen of a country to communicate privately with officials of an enemy country.But Zhao Wei has been by Xiao Guanyin's side for a long time, and he probably knows the ins and outs of the matter.Back then, Lord Lin from the Song Dynasty was the savior of the empress and the princess. With this personal friendship, it is naturally a different matter.

Zhao Wei only had a guess, but he didn't dare to think too much about it.He is very loyal to Xiao Guanyin, since it is the queen's account, just handle it carefully.Why ask so much?Knowing too much is not necessarily a good thing!

Departing from Shangjing, he hurried to Daming Mansion.The queen told him that Master Lin was still the minister of the Ministry of Industry in the Song Dynasty, the arbitrary minister of river control, and would appear in the Daming Mansion soon.But when he came, he found that he was in vain. It is said that Lin Shilang is still on the way.

What can I do?Zhao Weiyi couldn't help but feel a little anxious, the queen's confession seemed to be very anxious.So, he couldn't help but inquired a few words casually, and unfortunately happened to be in the restaurant of Ming Yuezong, so he was noticed by others.

Zhao Weiyi didn't realize that a smile had already attracted attention.Now my heart is full of that Lin Shilang, where is he?

At this moment, the entire Hebei Road, Han Qi, Di Qing, Yelu Jun, and Zhao Weiwei, who seem to be irrelevant but vaguely connected, are all wondering where Lin Shilang is and what he is doing?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lin Zhao, who lives in Bozhou, is very busy now!

This time in Hebei, the opponent is Han Qi and Han Xianggong, so the matter of river governance should not be rushed.

After all, the rain has just stopped, and the high water level of the Yellow River has not yet subsided. At this time, it is not convenient to block the breach or dredge the silt. After all, it can only be started after the Double Ninth Festival.

Originally, Meng Ruoying's due date was around Chongyang Festival, and Lin Zhao was waiting for the baby to be born, so she could only go north at this time.But Qiuning came to the world early, and Mid-Autumn Festival was born.

How can the 20 days that my daughter has bought for herself by reporting in advance be wasted?What's more, since I named my daughter Qiu Ning, this autumn's Hebei Road should be peaceful no matter what.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about river governance, but man-made disasters must be dealt with first.

There are thousands of man-made disasters in the Yellow River, and there are many places with problems on the entire Hebei Road.It is impossible for Lin Zhao to take care of all of them, so he can only choose the key points and kill chickens to scare monkeys.

In Qingshuize, Bozhou, the problem here is the most serious. ,
Since we have to deal with it, it is natural to deal with the biggest problem, so that we can have an explanation and take it seriously.More importantly, Bozhou is inextricably linked with the target person, Han Xianggong.

Ever since, Lin Zhao crossed the river with a trick and suddenly arrived in Bozhou.Originally, after everything was settled, he showed up to deal with it.But an accident in Deyuelou had to change strategy.

I thought that in this way, some things would be more difficult to handle.But sometimes it is God's will, many coincidences are connected together, so that the situation is not bad...

Yelujun suddenly went south to the Daming Mansion, and unintentionally became his own shield, making many people suspicious, thus slowing down the speed of their recovery.An accident in Deyuelou made Fan Jiyun only think about his son's injury and revenge, and a group of crying women at home made Fan Jiyun even more restless.There is also a greedy and adventurous Han Jun who is somewhat conceited. The situation has not changed for the worse, and it seems to be better than expected...

"How about Shimizusawa?"

"We are rushing to harvest grain. It seems that the price of grain has risen. Some people are in a hurry!" Li Cheng provided information to Lin Zhao in time for the young master to make an accurate judgment in time.

"Han Xianggong's family shouldn't be short of money, right?" Lin Zhao asked suspiciously, "There are still some people who are greedy, so what?"

"Hehe, it's hard to say, Mr. Han is a bit too honest, so... Of course, it may be that the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, and the son inherits his father's business, and the family tradition is something like that!"

Lin Zhao was usually humorous and easy-going, so Li Cheng and the others dared to say a few witty words, as a joke or something.Now this is okay, but in the future, when the monarch and his ministers have other time, they will never dare again.So Lin Zhao sometimes thinks that although the emperor is supreme with all his strength, he is really lonely.

"Looks like it's time, and it's not a big deal to let them all harvest!" Lin Zhao felt that he was really aggrieved after "hiding" in Bozhou for a few days, and it was time to go out for some activities.

"Young master, are you planning to go directly to Qingshuize?"

"I'm afraid we can't do it alone..." Lin Zhao shook his head with a smile, and said, "Looks like it's time to visit Li Zhizhou!"

The magistrate of Bozhou is Li Ru, who was a Jinshi in the eighth year of Renzong Tiansheng, only one subject later than Han Qi and Wen Yanbo.But in the past three years, the future is completely different.Of course, this also has a lot to do with personal ability and luck.

Li Ru has been an official in various places successively, and his political achievements are mediocre, not good.But if you want to blame him for his poor ability, it seems unreasonable.Master Li's luck is really bad. When he was a Tutor in Xuanzhou, he was unable to solve the case for a long time except for strange cases. Dali Temple blamed him for this.

When I was working as a transshipment envoy, it happened that the sky was dry and there was little rain, so that the canal was blocked, the boat was inconvenient, and the money and food could not be delivered to Bianjing in time. The third division was naturally unhappy.There was a general judge in a certain place in the northwest, but they met Xixia bandits, killed and injured some people and were reprimanded.

Not to mention, this Li Zhizhou's luck is really strange.After being an official in these years, there have been many unlucky things, so that his promotion in the officialdom has not been smooth.Of course, there were also natural disasters due to many mistakes... In the words of later generations, it is a force majeure factor, so there was no dismissal or anything.

When I was in my 50s, I finally had the opportunity to be the magistrate of Bozhou.Although Bozhou is not considered a good place, it is also a relatively wealthy prefecture and county on Hebei Road besides Daming Mansion.

Perhaps it was a turn of events, and there were no major disasters in the past few years in Bozhou.Although the Yellow River is flooded, it does not have a great impact on Bozhou.Nothing strange happened under the rule, and Li Ru thought that his bad luck was finally over.Now you can flex your muscles and make some achievements in Bozhou.

Try to get some fame before you become an official, and make some progress in your official career.But after figuring out the situation, Li Ru discovered that Bozhou was where his nightmare started.

Although he is the magistrate of Bozhou, he can't command many officials and officials at all, and he can't do anything in Bozhou.As for the reason, it was because Bozhou had a very strong general judge, and he was completely excluded.

Fan Jiyun was judged by Bozhou, because his father was a man of Pu Wang Zhao Yunrang, and he had made meritorious service in the matter of Emperor Yingzong Zhao Zongshi's ascension to the throne, and he was a minister of the dragon.The Great Song Dynasty had a saying of kindness, especially Conglong Zhigong's great contributions, so naturally he should be treated favorably.

Ever since, Fan Jiyun had the opportunity to come to Bozhou for a general judgment.It can be regarded as Emperor Yingzong's compensation and reward to Fan's family. Fan's family was originally a powerful man in Bozhou, but now with a high-ranking official like Tong San, the power of local snakes has greatly increased, and there is no one in Bozhou.Over the past few years, the iron barrels operated by Bozhou are like...

For the following, Fan Jiyun will also find a way.He flattered Han Qi, the promulgator of Hebei Road. The father of the Fan family was a minister of the dragon, and Han Qi was Zhao Zongshi's great help when he ascended the throne. Xianggong also took good care of Fan's family.

In addition, the Fan family also had connections in Bianjing, so Fan Jiyun's position as a general judge was secured, and his position in Bozhou was extraordinary.It is conceivable that Li Ru came to Bozhou under such circumstances.

The Song Dynasty established the general judgment, its purpose is to pass the judgment to divide the power of the state, and at the same time play a certain role of monitoring and checks and balances.Originally, the prefecture was the main place in the local area, but the situation in Bozhou has changed.First, there was a strong general judgment, and then the magistrate of the state had the right to share with him and suppress his intentions.

Therefore, from the day Li Ru came, Fan Jiyun had been hostile to him.With powerful resources in his hands, what can Li Ru do if he doesn't cooperate in various ways?The other party still has the protection of Han Xianggong, Li Ru has nothing to do.

He tried to resist, but it didn't work at all.Once he wants to do something, in the end, he will either accomplish nothing, or his face will be so unrecognizable that he will hardly be able to be a magistrate.Is there any way to respond to the court?is that useful?How embarrassing is it for a magistrate to spread the word?

Furthermore, if there is no real evidence, and officials from top to bottom will not help you, will the court care about a disharmony between a prefect and a judge?For the emperor, such a situation is the best, and he will not ask too much at all.As for the transfer, Li Ru also thought about it.But at the beginning Zhibozhou wasted a lot of effort, if he left, his official career would be reversed.

Either way!

Maybe this is the fate in this life, and if the official luck is not smooth, it is doomed to have so many troubles!After experiencing a lot of things, Li Zhizhou also looked away. At worst, he would spend his days in Bozhou and serve as an official in Bozhou. Whether it is after retirement or for the sake of the younger generation of the family, it is beneficial.

So Li Zhizhou didn't care about it at all, he only appeared on some necessary occasions, and usually it was just a formality.Fan Jiyun basically has the final say on all matters in Bozhou, so much so that he, the governor of Bozhou, is almost completely ignored.

Under such circumstances, Fan Jiyun was very polite to him.In a word, if you don't interfere with my business, then we will live in peace.Poor Li Ru was ostracized like this, but he lived a peaceful and happy life.

Staying in Zhizhou's mansion every day, leisurely playing new chess, calligraphy and painting to cultivate one's emotions.At the same time, teach the grandchildren to read. If one of the children and grandchildren can be a high school champion, or pass the system examination, the starting point is high, and the official career should not be as frustrated as myself!
Li Zhizhou had no choice but to do anything about the matter in Bozhou. In fact, he had already suffered internal injuries.

A few days ago, when I heard that Fan Jiyun's son-in-law had been beaten and disabled, Li Ru was very happy, and he was also a member of the celebration.He knows exactly who Fan Kun is and what he has done in Bozhou.Relying on the influence of their Fan family, they acted recklessly, but they never expected that there would be such retribution as today.

What is it that made such a joyous thing happen?Li Ru was also a little curious. He heard that the Fan family was about to overturn Bozhou, but they still couldn't find anyone.

Maybe he escaped!Li Ru didn't pay much attention to it. As for the fact that Lin Zhao, the servant of the Ministry of Industry, was coming to Hebei, he had vaguely heard about it, but he didn't take it to heart at all.

In the early morning of this day, just after Li Ru supervised his grandson's morning reading, he sent someone down to report a visitor and sent a greeting card!
Who would come to visit an empty Zhizhou?Li Ru accepted the greeting card suspiciously, only to see that it read: Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Weiyuan Hou Lin!
ah!Li Ru was shocked immediately, and ordered: "Quickly open the middle door, and welcome you grandly!"

"My lord, the guest said that if you want to see him, you don't need to say anything. Today is a private visit."

Private visit?Li Ru pondered for a while, and his eyes became a little complicated. What's going on?Doubts are doubts, this one
He didn't dare to neglect the guests.

"I've met Lin Shilang!" Li Ru was still surprised when he saw that handsome face.

"Li Zhizhou, you're welcome!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Li Ru asked tentatively in surprise, "I don't know why Lin Shilang is visiting today?"

Lin Zhao said in a deep voice, "Let's get straight to the point. First, I would like to emphasize my two identities. First, I am the minister of the Ministry of Industry, who wields a sword to rule the river. Second, I am the murderer who killed Fan Kun in Deyuelou..."

"Ah?" Li Ru was shocked again!
Only then did Lin Zhao say: "Now there are some things that I need to discuss with Li Zhizhou alone, I wonder if it's okay?"

"Okay!" Li Ru is very smart, he heard the meaning of Lin Zhao's words, and realized something, maybe...

Then the two entered the study room, and Lin Zhao left half an hour later. No one knew what they talked about.All in all, Li Ru's mental state has undergone a fundamental change, and he muttered to himself: "Maybe this time, it's really time to turn around!"
