Chapter 238 Lingzhou catches ghosts
Before the first snowfall in the capital city, Nangongchang's convoy slowly left the capital city. Before that, a group of people had already left the capital city. It was Huai Qianren's team going to Dingzhou.

The turmoil in Dingzhou quickly spread throughout the government and the public. No one knew who was responsible for the murder. Those who wanted to impeach Wu Hao, the commander of Qinzhou, and Liu Cun, the governor of Bingzhou, together.

Although Dingzhou is remote, but in terms of official positions, it is higher than Qinzhou. If something happens to Cao Yuan, the court will most likely let Wu Hao take over the affairs of Dingzhou.

This reason seems to be impeccable, but it is difficult to convince others, especially Huai Yunqian. As a member of the army, he understands the friendship of people in the army better than many civilian officials.

"This is already the No. 40 memorial. If no one in the court deliberately punishes Wu Hao, I don't believe it." Huai Yunqian put down the memorial sent by the fast horse. The civil servants who impeached Wu Hao these days are enough for 40 people.

It's not that he is suspicious as an emperor, but it's hard for Huai Yunqian to believe that no one in the court deliberately guides the public opinion and thoughts of the courtiers.

"There are some old ministers among them. They have always been cautious in their official duties. Even the former emperor couldn't find a reason. Now they have repeatedly impeached Wu Hao. I don't trust them." Huai Yun sighed.

Nan Gongchang in the carriage did not answer his question, but lifted the curtain and looked out the window: "We are going to Lingzhou soon, have you, the emperor, thought about readjusting Lingzhou?"

More than 20 years ago, Lingzhou was a well-known important town in the south. On the one hand, because of the division of Nanjun, Lingzhou did not border on Nanman, and wars rarely affected here.

On the other hand, it is also the location. As the only way to the south of the south and the southwestern part of Jingguo, Lingzhou City used to have more businessmen than the capital.

However, in the past few years, due to the change of the imperial court's strategy and occasional turmoil in the Nanman, Lingzhou City began to gradually fall into disrepair.

Jiangnan, which used to rely on land for business, is now gradually turning to do business with countries on the sea. In just a few years, Lingzhou has changed from a rich and treasured land to a place where everyone moves now.

"I had this idea. The Lingzhou camp is also the most powerful among the guards of the state capital. It's just that the development of Lingzhou has been hindered because of the lack of businessmen these years. I have already discussed this matter with Uncle Wang."

Huai Yunqian also looked out of the window, and what came into view was a magnificent mountain and river. The long river that nourished countless people passed through Lingzhou, and the waterways here were wide.

From any point of view, there is no possibility that Lingzhou will be abandoned. However, Lingzhou has changed three governors in these years, but they have not brought Lingzhou up. Even Song Ren, who took office not long ago, died strangely while in office.

So when Nan Gongchang chose Lingzhou as the first stop, without further ado, Huai Yunqian immediately brought Luo Shanhe, the new governor of Lingzhou who had been selected, to visit Lingzhou's local conditions and customs.

Nangong Xing changed into the men's clothes that she hadn't worn for a long time, Huai Yunqian was startled when she saw her getting off the carriage, Nangong Xing gave him a blank look: "It's not like I haven't seen this outfit before, what's the matter?"

"Today is different from the past. If you were lying next to me now, I might be startled." Huai Yunqian joked, and Nangong Xing pouted when he saw this: "Then just wait, sooner or later I will scare you." One jump!"

Nan Gongchang smiled and watched the two joking, walking alone on the country road.Lingzhou is rich in rice, and the fertile soil here is the most suitable for growing these crops.

Nan Gongchang turned to the field to look around, and then frowned indistinctly. From his point of view, there were some problems with the rice cultivation here.

Not to mention that the planting is too close, but from the growth of the rice, it is obvious that the fields here have not been fertilized for a long time, which leads to the lack of fertility in the land, and the growth of the rice is not high at all.

Nan Gongxing also saw some tricks, and said these things to Luo Shanhe who had worked in the Imperial Academy for many years, but in a blink of an eye, she found that Nan Gongchang had long since disappeared. She hurried to look for him, but saw him under a big tree.

An old man was lying under the big tree enjoying the shade. Nan Gongchang stepped forward, took some rice dumplings in his hand, and said with a smile, "Old man, why are you sitting here?"

"Where do you sit here? Are you sitting in the governor's mansion?" The old man squinted and saw Nan Gongchang, then muttered angrily, then turned over and continued to sleep.

Nan Gongchang wasn't angry at all, he was used to this kind of thing, looking at the old man's face, it was obvious that he had been hungry for a long time, so he took out the rice dumpling, and the old man smelled the fragrance of rice all at once.

"Old man, I'm a businessman on a hurry. I came here because I took the wrong route. May I ask you something?" Nangong Chang held rice dumplings in his hand. .

Nan Gongchang smiled and handed it to him, seeing that the old man gulped down two, and couldn't bear to eat the last two or three, so he carefully wrapped them up and poured a mouthful of cold water into his mouth.

"Guest officer, just say, if the old man took your few rice dumplings today, it will be regarded as the old man owes you a life. No matter what you ask, the old man will know everything!" The old man is also a straightforward person. Chatterbox opened.

It turned out that the old man was originally a soldier of the Lingzhou camp. Since Huai Yunqian took the throne, he began to abolish useless soldiers everywhere, the most important of which was to abolish those soldiers who were old.

During Huai Dongqing's reign, because there was no replenishment of soldiers all year round, many old people were raised in the state capitals, and the state capitals took a lot of money and taxes for this.

The old man in front of him is such a group of people. He was a young man when he first joined the army, and he also fought in the army. Afterwards, he has been struggling in the army.

"I don't know Taishan with my eyes, I didn't expect to be the captain!" Nan Gongchang bowed slightly, and the old man hurriedly helped him up, then shook his head and sighed: "What's the big deal? The captain is a bird? In Jingguo, If you can kill a large number of school lieutenants with one shot, you should be an official if you study and become an official."

Nangongchang smiled, and brought a pot of wine to the old man. Seeing this, the old man's eyes were straightened, he took a big sip, and then sighed: "Looking at how expensive the price is, I also advise you to leave Lingzhou quickly. , the farther away the better."

"Why? Didn't everyone say that Lingzhou Wufu Minfeng is a good place to recuperate?" Nan Gongchang asked without a trace, and the old man sneered, as if he was extremely dissatisfied with this world.

"What a good place, that was 20 years ago, and Lingzhou is really rotten now. From the outside, sir, you should be able to see that there is something wrong with the rice in the field, right?"

"It can be seen that the field has been short of fertilizer for many years, and the rice is so densely planted, can it really grow?" Nan Gongxing and others sat down and listened quietly to the old man.

Mentioning this, the old man was filled with righteous indignation: "In a word, the fields here are not the fields of the common people, and every family can't get a grain of grain if they grow good ones. Who will grow them well?"

Huai Yunqian's face was extremely ugly, the old man didn't pay attention, but continued to scold: "The deserted tombs you saw on the way here are all people who died of starvation. There is no place to bury the villagers, so they just find a place for them Buried, these years Lingzhou is still some kind of heaven and earth, it is simply a hell on earth!"

"Old man, what's going on here?" Luo Shanhe hurriedly asked, only to see the old man's face changed, and he hesitated to speak after taking a big sip of wine.

"Old man, we also know what happened today. Let's go back the same way now, and see you again!" Seeing this, Nan Gongchang stood up and was about to say goodbye to the old man.

The old man gritted his teeth and stomped his feet. He didn't care about his old life today. While he was still able to speak, he told outsiders one more time, so maybe it would be passed on to the court?
"Guest officer, seeing that you are not bad people, the old man will tell you straight. Since Lingzhou was abandoned a few years ago, there has been a family named Xu in Lingzhou city. They have a lot of people and wealth.

More importantly, they seemed to have some relationship with the imperial court. As soon as they entered the city, they began to buy and sell the fields of the common people. Some people refused to sell, so he asked people to slaughter other people's families! "

Nan Gongchang frowned: "Shouldn't the government ignore this kind of behavior and not write a letter?"

The old man sneered, then sat down and sighed: "It's not that I don't care, it's just that the government doesn't dare to take care of it. You should have heard that the governor of Lingzhou has changed three terms in recent years. I don't know how many appointments have been changed.

I’m not going to hide it from you, it’s not that the government doesn’t want to take care of it, it’s that the officials are also afraid. Think about it, one will die, and in the huge Lingzhou City, the officials will die one after another. very! "

"What? Why have you never heard of these things?" Huai Yunqian gasped. He had never seen any memorials from Lingzhou.

The old man glanced at him and laughed and said: "It would be rare for you to have heard of it. After the death of those officials, the most terrifying thing is that when someone sees someone who has just died, he will sit in the government office and raise his account the next day. .

Some people didn't believe in evil, so they went to watch, and it turned out that the officials who just reported that their whole family died were standing in front of them alive.

Not only that, that Boss Xu was talking and laughing with them, and even those people were flattering, gentlemen, let me ask you, is this something evil? "

It was obviously in the south, and it was still warm now, but except for the three of Nan Gongchang, the others were covered in cold sweat and kept licking their chapped lips.

After bidding farewell to the old man, Nan Gongchang walked back into the convoy, and after explaining to Fifth, someone took the old man's family out of Lingzhou.

Several people were sitting in the carriage, Luo Shanhe kept thinking about what the old man said, and finally couldn't bear the pressure, and said to Huai Yunqian: "Your Majesty, why don't we leave Lingzhou as soon as possible? There are some evil ways in this place!"

"Are Governor Luo scared?" Huai Yun frowned lightly.

Luo Shanhe smiled awkwardly, and before he could speak, he was frightened out of his wits by the next sentence.

"Don't be afraid, Inspector Luo, I'll take you to catch ghosts, and you can take office with peace of mind after catching ghosts!"
