His Royal Highness, he is plotting against me

Why can't the governor of Jingzhou think about it?

Because he has been sitting in this position for ten years.

I haven't moved away for ten years.

Back then, he escaped the purge of the Jiangnan officialdom, but neither the Supreme Emperor nor His Majesty had any intention of letting him move.

Because His Majesty knew very well that it wasn't that his buttocks were really clean back then, but that he needed to leave behind some "old men" from the Jiangnan officialdom from the beginning to the end.

He can only stay in this position until the end. If he can help his younger generation to take over, he can even be the governor of a county.

But this wish was shattered after His Majesty changed the system of selecting officials.

His own son knew it himself.

Some small ability, but no great ability.

I haven't read a few books, but I have learned a lot from chicken and dog fighting.

On the contrary, the adoptive son who was accepted a few years ago was talented and loyal.

The governor of Jingzhou changed his mind, now is the first scientific examination, coupled with the rush of time, many details have not been perfected.

He had already inquired with his friends in Beijing that those who could take part in the final imperial examination this time would be able to return to their hometowns to be a school official at worst.

And the final ranking depends not only on the results of the palace examination, but also on the rankings of the previous states and counties.

His adopted son came to Beijing with the title of first place in three rounds, even if he failed in the palace examination, it can be presumed that he was unwell and did not perform well, and he could get a good ranking in the end.

At that time, I will drag my friends to operate secretly and arrange people to come to Jiangnan.

Even if he retires in two years, he can still enjoy himself in the Jiangnan officialdom like a fish in water!At last rose to a position sufficient to shelter his offspring.

What's more, there is a deeper reason, that is, this child is just a adopted son, not his own son.

After all, this matter is somewhat risky, if it happens...

Everything is going smooth.

The adopted son successfully took the place of someone else and went to Beijing.

However, Inspector Zhao did not expect that the incident did not come from Jingzhou, but directly from Shangjing.

Just when he was in an emergency to take care of the aftermath again, and felt that the most he could lose was the adopted son and an inconspicuous book-making document in the governor's mansion, and he was safe, the people from the court also arrived.

They didn't even say hello to Governor Zhao, nor did they ask any questions.

Those who were familiar with the road found those who had been "sealed" by Governor Zhao's house.

It didn't even matter that those people performed it on purpose, saying whether they recognized the wrong person.

For three whole days, Governor Zhao heard his subordinates report that Mr. Zhuang was looking for people all over the world, and even found out all those people who were still alive.

I couldn't sit still from the Governor's Mansion, and finally blocked the newly promoted Supervisor of the Overwatch Council in an alley outside a small courtyard, who was also a former colleague——

Master Zhuang Huanyu.

"Hey, Mr. Zhuang! Master Zhuang stay!"

They had just come out of the last family's yard and brought out a young man.

This is their second trip.

During the first trip, the family refused to admit that there was such a person in their family and drove them out.

Later, it was Zhuang Huanyu who came to the door in person and said Qingming's name, and the frail figure hiding in the firewood room came out.

They are afraid.

I'm afraid that these people will collude with the people from the governor's mansion, and the little life that was finally saved because of the compromise will be gone.

Until I heard Qingming's name.

That person wanted to take a gamble, and stood up regardless of his family's obstruction.

He was still a little staggering when he walked. According to Zhuang Huanyu's many years of experience, he was not sick, but suffered a serious trauma recently.

At this time, the man had just followed these people out of the distance when he saw Governor Zhao with a smile on his face.

The fingernails in his sleeves were tightly pinched into his palms, and he took two steps back with a look of wariness.

Looking at these men in black and the people from the Governor's Mansion walking towards this side.

Zhuang Huanyu was dressed in a solemn black robe, and his whole body was as imposing as a sharp knife just out of his body, showing his sharpness, without any trace of the gentleness and smoothness on his face when he was an official in the south of the Yangtze River.

Inspector Zhao's heart skipped a beat.

Is this Mr. Zhuang the same Mr. Zhuang he knew?
If he really returned to Beijing and was promoted, it would be a big difference in just a few months!

Regardless of what he thinks in his heart, Governor Zhao has a smile on his face:
"Master Zhuang just returned to Beijing to report on his duties a few months ago. I heard that he has been promoted, and the next official is here to congratulate Mr. Zhuang!"

As Governor Zhao said, his heart was not in a good mood.

For such a young man in his thirties, after a few years of exile, he would be able to rise to the top of a department after returning to Beijing, but he had worked hard for many years, but he could see the end at a glance.

Master Zhuang looked at the smiling people in front of him, raised his hand, and stopped the people from the Overwatch Council from moving forward.

The voice said lightly: "Inspector Zhao came just in time, and it saves me from going to the Inspector's Mansion again."

Inspector Zhao's expression froze, and people from the Overwatch Council stood up and wanted to arrest Inspector Zhao immediately.

"Master Zhuang, what are you doing!"

Inspector Zhao didn't expect Zhuang Huanyu to detain him without even saying hello?
He didn't expect that after the people from the court came, they would not interrogate them at all, but they would arrest them directly.

This time I came out just to inquire about news from Zhuang Huanyu. Anyway, he was an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court. As the chief official of a state, he showed his loyalty by the way, so he didn't bring many people with him.

Seeing that Zhuang Huanyu was unmoved, the servants he brought were quickly restrained by those men in black.

Inspector Zhao shouted coldly:
"Lord Zhuang, I am the governor of Jingzhou. Even if you are the head of the Overwatch Council, you cannot detain me indiscriminately!"

"Presumptuous! I am the chief official of a state, you are so bold and reckless, aren't you afraid that I will read your copy in front of His Majesty?"

Zhuang Huanyu waited for Governor Zhao to shout enough, and then smiled gently:
"Inspector Zhao, don't worry, I'll take you back to Beijing right away, and ask you to read my book in person in front of His Majesty."

Governor Zhao was taken away in the street just like that.

The student finally relaxed his tense back. He looked at the man in black standing at the front, pursed his lips, wondering what he was thinking.

Zhuang Huanyu had already found those people on the Qingming list, so he decided to leave for Beijing early the next morning.

Of course, Governor Zhao was to be brought along.

The Jingzhou garrison came with people after hearing the news, trying to stop Zhuang Huanyu and his party.

Being blocked by hundreds of people, Zhuang Huanyu's face remained unchanged, as if nothing happened.

"What? Hu Shoubei is going to escort me back to Beijing?"

Hu Shoubei wiped the sweat from his forehead, and cupped his hands towards Zhuang Huanyu.

"So it's Master Zhuang!"
