Chapter 90 Yongning County Magistrate (Part [-])
"The 50 taels of silver were squeezed out by the Ministry of Household Affairs for river governance. If the prince followed the boat to Jinling and got off the boat and found that the silver was gone, he must be busy looking for the silver in anger. It was delayed, and it can be said that the lord's errand has been ruined before it even started."

"If the river course is not repaired in time, when it catches up with such a rainy day, I don't know how many places will be affected. Let alone the loss of the prince's reputation. After the disaster, the treasury will be empty and there will be no money to relieve the disaster. What will happened?"

The old monk waved his hand and said, "That's why I said that if the third brother governs the world..."

Qin Wubing raised his eyebrows: "You're running around today, thinking that yesterday you should just keep your mouth shut! Why don't you hurry up and get medical treatment? Even a good man can't hold back three shits! I want to live until tomorrow from yesterday ?"

Prince Xiang put down his chopsticks.

Qin Wubing didn't realize that what he said was too appropriate for the occasion, he just stared at the old monk and continued:
"What's more, whether the third brother is doing well or not is only limited by your own imagination! Let me ask you, when you sit in that position, is the most basic thing to have Wanmin in your heart? Who are Wanmin? It's not when your upper lip touches your lower lip. Just two words that come out, they are thousands of living people! Do the victims after the flood count? Do the refugees after the war count? How can you let the world suffer for yourself? "

The old monk blinked again.

"The emperor has only been on the throne for two years. He has made great efforts to govern the government. Otherwise, the prince would not be here! They have the ability to make troubles when the former emperor was around. Why did they choose this time? Isn't it because they are afraid that the emperor will govern the country? ...beautiful, they have nothing to exploit!"

The old monk understood this time and couldn't help but nodded.

"So, in the future, if you have something to discuss with me, don't listen to me, but you must listen to my opinion. You are almost immortal in the mountains all year round. You have to listen to me when you are a human being."

After hearing this, Prince Xiang picked up the chopsticks again.

The old monk pondered.

Qin Wubing let out a light breath, and was just about to ask if he could go back, when Dexi came in to report:

"Returning to the master, I asked someone. Gu Qinghe, the magistrate of Yongning County, is not in the county government office. He said that he went to the embankment this morning. There is a Tiaozi Qinghe River on the edge of Yongning County. It has broken its embankment in previous years. The magistrate Gu is not at ease, so Go see."

"I don't know if it's a show or if I really love the people so much." Prince Xiang pondered.

Qin Wubing immediately said: "I'll call Shang Lin Huai and Guo Yi, find someone to lead the way, and you'll know if you go and have a look."

Prince Xiang nodded and said, "Don't go up the embankment! I can't explain to any of the three of you that something happened to you."

Qin Wubing was a little ecstatic for a moment, that he could be compared with those two disciples of the Hou family!

Before he had time to understand why they were compared, the old monk shouted, "I'm going too!"

"You are everywhere!" Qin Wubing said and walked out the door.

"If you have you, you must have me!" the old monk yelled.

"How old are you? It's windy by the river, if you..."

……

The two left after arguing, Prince Xiang smiled and said, "It's true that one thing is one thing! No one can talk to Uncle Qi, but Uncle Qi likes to listen to this kid, no matter how old or young he is."

"It's the master who knows people with his eyes." Dexi replied with a smile.

"This kid's words are rough and not rough. Seventh Uncle can listen to it, and it can be regarded as a solution to the emperor's heart trouble! Back then... well, seeing Uncle Qi like this made me feel at ease, and my father and brother also felt at ease! Cough, it's more than just a heart problem, this kid somehow got the ability to solve the emperor's two heart problems at once, really! The Qin family is blessed!"

……

Before Qin Wubing and the others dressed up and walked to the gate of the post house to prepare to set off, Gu Qinghe, the county magistrate of Yongning, hurried to the post house.

I saw him wearing a coir raincoat, trousers rolled up to his knees, shoes made of rushes, and a bamboo hat in his hand, as if he had been fished out of the water!
Gu Qinghe is over forty years old, and his figure is considered to be tall, but he is already a little hunched, with obvious dimples on his face, he looks older than Prince Xiang and the old monk.

They didn't dare to delay, and immediately took him to see Prince Xiang, but the old monk was very upset.

After getting the report, Prince Xiang went directly to the hall, saying "hard work!", Gu Qinghe knelt down and kowtowed without saying a word, but was stopped by Prince Xiang himself:

"I already saw the ceremony yesterday, so there is no need to be more polite today! Dexi, order someone to prepare ginger soup and dry clothes..."

"My lord, listen to the officer first." Gu Qinghe said hurriedly and respectfully: "I have to go back to the embankment again later, it's useless to change it, and there's no chill to speak of at this time, it's really useless."

"Oh? Are you going back to the embankment later?" Prince Xiang asked.

"Yes! It's raining non-stop, don't dare to be careless, I didn't know the prince heard about it, and I just wanted to go back to the yamen to get something..."

"Where did County Magistrate Gu take office before?" Prince Xiang interrupted Gu Qinghe, but asked kindly.

"Xiaguan first served as county magistrate in Luocheng County for seven years, and then served as county magistrate in Hezhou County for five years. After that, he was recommended by Mr. Xie Yuxie, the procurator for punishment, to serve as county magistrate in Yongning County. Now it is the second year. "Gu Qinghe replied respectfully.

Prince Xiang frowned and asked: "Luocheng is that Luocheng where banditry never stops and there is no walled city?"

"Exactly, when the next official first took office, he could only handle official duties in Guandi Temple."

Prince Xiang asked again: "But Hezhou is a Hezhou where there are less than a hundred households in the county, and the tax is only 15 taels a year?"

"Exactly!"

Prince Xiang took a deep breath, and said excitedly: "Xie Tie Mian actually has a pair of eyes! County Magistrate Gu will do his work first, and after he is done, come to the post house, and I will talk to you in detail!"

Gu Qinghe was not polite, he cupped his hands, turned around and was about to leave, when he reached the door, he turned around and cupped his hands again and asked: "My lord! I have the courage to ask, is there a Jinghai catcher among the entourage of the lord who is following the lord?"

Qin Wubing was taken aback for a moment, and then he was overjoyed. He never thought that his fame would be so great.

Prince Xiang glanced at Qin Wubing, Qin Wubing quickly took a step forward, clasped his fists and said, "Catch Qin Wubing fast in Xia Jinghai! I don't know what advice Gu County Magistrate has?"

"Don't dare! A few days ago, I encountered a tricky case. Gu was really incompetent and couldn't identify the real culprit, so I had the audacity to find Mr. Xie. Mr. Xie said that the prince will come to Jinling soon, and there will be a Jinghai policeman at that time." Gu Mou only asked if he could help me."

Prince Xiang laughed and said to Gu Qinghe: "Go and do your work first, and come back to him after you're done. Otherwise, if you let him hear that there is a difficult case, you may not be able to go back to the embankment. Go and do it!"

Only then did Gu Qinghe leave.

……

　I'm going to attend a wedding. I don't know what time I will be back. It's a little earlier. There is a typo waiting for me to correct it when I come back.
