People are among the Eight Immortals, starting from Painted Skin Ghost

Chapter 92 Xiangzi was born with a house full of fragrance, accompanied by music and flute, and fairy music rises

Thinking this way in his heart, but Di Renjie's face remained calm.

He sat back in the sedan chair and said:

"Show the state capital!"

The voice fell.

The bearers lifted their sedan chairs and strode towards the state capital.

When Weizhou Inspector Qi Changzhen and other officials saw them, they had to follow behind the sedan chair, guessing in their hearts what Di Ge would ask when he came to the state capital, and secretly started to write a draft.

Qi Changzhen walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, and looked left and right.

Hastily asked Chang Shi beside him:

"Why don't you see anyone from the Qi clan?"

To know.

According to the rules, when the imperial envoy arrives, in addition to local officials, prominent families from all over the place will also come out to greet him.

After all, the imperial envoy represents the Son of Heaven!
Chang Shi said: "The police have notified you."

Qi Changzhen frowned, and said in a surprised tone:

"What's the matter with the Qi clan? How can it be a joke to welcome the imperial envoy?"

"Later, Mr. Di will blame him, but no one can bear it!"

After finishing speaking, he honored the yamen who accompanied him outside and ordered:
"Hurry up and call someone to remind you!"

"Yes, Governor Qi!"

A Yacha took the order and trotted away all the way.

……

the other side.

Seeing that Di Ge was always going to the state capital, Zhou Yan hurriedly led his servants, got out of the crowd, and rushed towards the state government.

When he arrived at the state office, Di Renjie got off the sedan chair directly.

Qi Changzhen and other officials from Weizhou hurried forward and accompanied him to the inner hall to sit down.

"Who are you?"

"This is the government office of Weizhou. No one else is allowed to enter!"

"My official is Zhou Yan, the governor of Qizhou, and I came here to assist Mr. Di Ge in handling the case by the imperial edict."

Zhou Yan went to the state government office and wanted to go forward, but was stopped by Qianniuwei's people.

For this reason, he did not hide his identity anymore, and directly revealed his identity.

After speaking, he took out the governor's seal.

The man from Qianniuwei looked at it, immediately became respectful, and let him in.

As soon as he entered the state government office, he was led to the inner hall by Qianniuwei.

Now in the inner hall, that Di Renjie sits high on the throne, not angry and pretentious.

The Weizhou officials below were lined up on both sides, with silent faces, standing still with their hands tied, not daring to look up at him.

"Report, report to Duke Di, the Governor of Qizhou Zhou Banquet to see you!"

Suddenly, a Qianniuwei came forward and ran to confess.

"Invite him in!"

Hearing this, Di Gong spoke up.

This week's banquet, but the people he named and wanted with the Holy One have now arrived in Weizhou safely, and he can also breathe a sigh of relief.

When Qi Changzhen and other Weizhou officials learned that the governor of Naqi Prefecture had come to Weizhou, they were stunned.

From Weizhou to Qizhou, to say the least, it is a thousand miles away.

How can you come here so well?

Could it be that he obeyed the imperial decree?
Just as he was wondering, he saw an elegant middle-aged man with a thin figure and white temples, walking in.

"Official week banquet, kowtow to old Dige!"

Zhou Yan stepped into the inner hall and bowed to Di Renjie.

"The governor of Zhou does not need to be formal, please stand up."

Seeing this, Di Renjie smiled kindly.

Immediately, he looked at another official in Weizhou and explained:
"The Inspector Zhou is following the imperial decree to cooperate with the cabinet to investigate major cases."

"Meet Governor Zhou."

Hearing this, Qi Changzhen and others hurriedly saluted him.

Zhou Yan didn't put on airs, and returned a salute with Qi Changzhen and the others.

Afterwards, I saw Di Gong waving to himself:

"Inspector Zhou, you have to come to the hall."

"The subordinate obeys the order."

Zhou Yan didn't dare to disobey and walked up.

After he came up, Di Renjie narrowed his eyes slightly, and looked around the officials of Weizhou under the hall.

To the leading general Qianniuwei, he said:
"Yuan Fang, read out the imperial decree!"

"Yes, Mr. Dige."

Yuan Fang said.

Soon, he received the imperial decree from Di Renjie.

I saw that he held the imperial decree in his hand, held it up high, and signaled to everyone.

Seeing this, Qi Changzhen and other Weizhou officials hurriedly knelt down and bowed down.

Yuan Fang held up the imperial decree and read:
"I heard that in recent years, Weizhou has been exhausted. The aristocratic family has been in power, poisoning the people, and being attached to evil spirits, so that the people of the place have no way of life. Therefore, Di Renjie, the official of Longge Lintai Pingzhang, was appointed as the envoy of Jiannan to depose and strengthen Wei. The governor of the state, inspects by order, rectifies the administration of officials, and patrols on behalf of the sky."

"Wherever I go, it's like I'm there in person."

"When you encounter unresolved matters, you don't need to ask to play, you can do it cheaply!"

After Yuan Fang's words fell, the hearts of all Weizhou officials present sank.

The imperial decree says that the aristocratic family is in power, does it mean the Qi family?
He also said that he poisoned the people and caused the people to live in dire straits, which frightened Qi Changzhen and others.

Suddenly, Qi Changzhen and others quickly explained:

"Let me also look at Di Ge's old enlightenment. Since I took office as the governor of Weizhou, I have been enforcing the law impartially, staying up late at night, and treating suffering."

Not long after, the others followed suit.

Seeing this scene, Di Renjie seemed to have expected it, he waved his hands and said:
"Don't quarrel, everyone, and listen to what I have to say."

"This time, this pavilion has been valued by the sage. He served as Jiannan's dismissal envoy, and the governor of Weizhou. He came here for the first time. He rectified the administration of officials and reviewed officials. He didn't look at anything else, and put people's livelihood first in everything."

"Let's take the following three rules as standard."

"First, it is to always have the heart of patrolling for the emperor and appease the people."

"Second, it is to persuade farmers to teach mulberry and water conservancy."

"The third is the criminal and prison litigation, and the people should be reasonable."

"Those who have all three are the top grade."

"Those with two of the three are middle grades; those with one of the three are low grades."

"Those who have none of the three will be dismissed from office!"

"Do you understand?"

The words fall.

The whole inner hall suddenly became quiet, and a needle could be heard.

Regarding the three items mentioned by Mr. Di, all the people present were secretly pondering, how many of them did they see?

And in the end, he said that those who have none of the three will be dismissed from office!
No one will doubt!
In the imperial decree, it is said that wherever he goes, it is as if I am here in person!

When you encounter unresolved matters, you can act cheaply.

What is cheap?

Not to mention being dismissed from office, even if it kills you, it's still cheap!

All of a sudden, everyone was frightened and trembling.

Once these three principles come out, no matter how much you argue, there is nothing you can do!

"Where are the members of the Qi clan?"

Suddenly, Di Renjie asked.

After all, no one came forward.

Seeing this, Di Renjie had an unhappy expression on his face. He glanced at Qi Changzhen at the side, and asked:
"Qi Inspector, the Qi family is a prominent family in Weizhou. Now that the imperial envoy of this pavilion is here, why don't you see him come to greet you?"

"In addition, in your Weizhou land, how many people have been knighted by the court, please report to this pavilion!"

Hearing Di Gong's question, Qi Changzhen said without hesitation:
"Old man, the lower officials have sent someone to urge you before, but no one from the Qi clan has come, so there must be some delay."

"Today, under the jurisdiction of Weizhou, there are three prefectures and seventeen counties. There are three Marquises and two Earls. They are here now."

Knowing the future of the Qi clan, Di Gong snorted coldly, and then ordered:
"Hmph! The Qi family is so proud of their face. This pavilion is on guard on behalf of the heavens. Now they are in Weizhou, but no one is there to welcome them."

"Pass down the decree, since the cabinet inspected Weizhou, I will stay in the Qi clan!"

"Now send someone to spread the word, after dark, move to the Qi clan."

As soon as this word comes out.

Everyone couldn't help but looked at each other, with puzzled expressions on their faces.

I don't know what is the meaning of Di Gong's move?
"Yes, Mr. Dige."

Qi Changzhen didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly responded.

After a short chat with Weizhou officials, Di Renjie went out of the inner hall and took a rest at the place arranged by Qi Changzhen.

Those who went with him were Zhou Yan, Yuan Fang, and Di Renjie's servant Di Ping.

In addition, Qianniuwei has already guarded the front and back of this house.

"Inspector Zhou, did you arrive in Weizhou in the evening?"

When he came to the house, Di Ping made some tea for Di Renjie and the others.

During this period, Di Renjie casually asked Zhou Yan.

"Mr. Dige, the officer arrived in Weizhou this morning."

Being questioned by Di Gong, Zhou Yan spoke a little cautiously.

"Prefect Zhou needn't be nervous, you can relax when no one is around."

Seeing that Zhou Yan was tense all the time, Di Renjie smiled with a kind expression on his face.

At this moment, Di Gong looked like an approachable old man.

How could he be as majestic as before, but a word can calm the officials of a state.

Zhou Yan had no choice but to laugh at this:
"The subordinate obeys the order."

"Inspector Zhou, since you arrived in Weizhou this morning, why didn't you accompany Governor Qi and others to greet him at the city gate when I came?" Di Renjie gave him a curious look.

"Elder Ge, to tell the truth, after the official came to Weizhou, he didn't come to the state government, but first experienced the people's sentiments here."

Zhou Yan said truthfully.

Hearing this, Di Renjie's eyes lit up.

When he looked at Zhou Yan again, there was a hint of admiration.

In recent years, Di Renjie has supervised the handling of major cases and already has his own policy for handling cases.

Everywhere he went, he would inspect the customs and customs of the people on the spot to infer how the local officials were governing.

Unexpectedly, this week's banquet actually had such thoughts...

Looking at it now, it coincides with each other.

"What did Governor Zhou think of the people in Weizhou?"

Di Renjie wanted to test and ask.

"It's hard to say. Although the people of Weizhou are not in dire straits, they are still struggling."

Zhou Yan sighed.

"tell me the story."

Di Renjie's face gradually darkened.

"The difficulty in Weizhou lies in the dominance of the government by officials and filthy officials who do not see clarity; the difficulty lies in the oppression and oppression of aristocratic families, and the difficulty in redressing grievances; the difficulty lies in the policy of benefiting the people's livelihood, which benefits the big households rather than the villagers."

Zhou Yan thought about it and summed up what he saw and heard in Weizhou for half a day.

"well said!"

"This Weizhou is exhausted, and there are many problems. It needs to be rectified."

"But before that, I have to find out how the Qi clan colluded with the demons?"

"This point is not only what the Pavilion wants to know, but the Holy Majesty also wants to know."

"Inspector Zhou was the first to expose the crimes committed by the Qi family. What do you know?"

Di Renjie praised it strongly.

Through this conversation, it is not difficult for him to see that this week's banquet is a man who can be made, and he has the heart to plead for the people.

"Speaking of this matter, the next official has no choice but to introduce a Taoist to the old man."

Zhou Yan spoke frankly and said.

"Taoist?
Di Renjie was taken aback.

"Ge Lao, this Taoist's surname is Han, but the lower officials don't know his specific name and surname."

"However, he looks young, and his style of conversation is elegant and courteous. I think he was a son of an official before he practiced Taoism."

Zhou Yan explained.

"Surname Han?"

Hearing this, Di Renjie frowned.

With Han's surname in advance, he inevitably thought of Han Tuizhi, a great Confucianist and a great writer in the literary world!
Going deeper and connecting with Taoism, Di Renjie naturally remembered that Han Yu had a grandnephew named Han Xiangzi.

Di Renjie had also heard about Han Xiangzi.

It is said that when he was born, the house was full of fragrance, accompanied by the sound of Quxiao, fairy music rose, and purple air fell from the sky.

His parents passed away one after another when he was young, and he was raised by his uncle.

Although Han Xiangzi is clever, he is not fond of learning and has a dissolute nature, so he has no choice but to seek immortality and learn Taoism.
