Huafanchunzhengming

Chapter 524

The drug exchange incident came to an end, and everyone in the Fangming Pavilion relaxed. The Dongling envoys left Beijing in embarrassment and rushed back to Dongling as quickly as possible.

Because Nan Xiaoqiao and others were angry, they went to the road to watch and intercept the Dongling envoy, and organized an activity of throwing rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs.

County magistrate Liao was a little worried, so he came here to see Zhong Weiwei: "After all, he is an envoy from one country, and the two countries have not broken their faces. Would this be too much? It's not good to cause trouble."

What a joke, so many things happened to Dongling people, almost costing her her life, how could she not want to tear her face apart?
Zhong Weiwei falsely agreed: "Yes, it's really not good to cause trouble, so according to Mr. Liao, what should we do?"

This county magistrate Liao, who looks very capable, is actually such a softie.

Such a person is probably not suitable to serve as the magistrate of this place, otherwise, in the future when Xijing is being built, we don't know how many things will happen.

Zhong Weiwei thought so, so he couldn't help staring at Magistrate Liao a few more times.

But County Magistrate Liao said in a serious manner: "From the point of view of the following officials, at least someone should be sent to inform Nan Cha Master and the others. We must be more cautious, never reveal our identity, run away after beating, and just push things to the people in the Jianghu. , so it is appropriate."

"Pfft..." Jian Wu came in from the outside, just in time to hear this, and almost laughed like crazy.

Pointing to the solemn Liao county magistrate, he said, "Master Liao, I used to think of you as a gentle scholar, but who would have thought you were such a person?"

Liao County Magistrate's small eyes were shining brightly: "The lower officials have always been like this, but the fifth master and the owner of the hall don't know it."

He was a Jinshi in the Yongdi period, because his family was poor and ugly, he had no money to please Taishi Wei, and he didn't want to be favored by Taishi Wei, so he was sent here for ten years.

Since he came to power, he has made no achievements and failed to show any signs of progress, but he has also managed the Qing County under his rule in an orderly manner without any troubles.

Including the fact that the tea monopoly rights have been dominated by Dongling for a long time in these years, the tea farmers cannot sell their tea, and everyone has no food to eat. Tea farmers in many places have risen to make troubles, but Qing County is very quiet.

Zhong Weiwei knew that it was because the tea farmers in the Jiujun Mountain area had the habit of making and selling tea privately. He thought it was due to the folk customs before, but now he saw the appearance of Liao County Magistrate, and he suddenly understood.

It's not a folk custom at all, I'm afraid that someone deliberately turned a blind eye to let the tea farmers live.

Although this person is suspected of deceiving the saints, he is a good official who is good at governing and being a good person.

Zhong Weiwei smiled: "Magistrate Liao, I have always felt that the smuggling of tea here in Jiujun Mountain is too much. I only found out the reason today, and I really want to tell His Majesty the secret."

County magistrate Liao didn't change his expression, and said with a smile: "The lower officials also want to know the reason. They have been banned repeatedly. They have always thought that the lower officials are not capable enough, so they haven't made progress in ten years, and the lower officials are also very ashamed."

Jian Wu is a smart person, so he understood immediately, and slapped the county magistrate Liao on the shoulder with his fan, and said, "You old cunning! You have so much courage!"

County magistrate Liao glanced at Jian Wu, and bowed to Zhong Weiwei: "Liao is not talented, and he is willing to be driven by the owner of the hall."

Zhong Weiwei was also unambiguous: "Take it, it's been a troubled time recently, you have been here for a long time, and you have a lot of contacts, you must know what General Xu and I are doing.

I don't want to talk too much, I just hope that you and General Xu will manage this place well and live up to His Majesty's expectations. "

The small eyes of County Magistrate Liao shone with determination: "Liao will not disappoint His Majesty, nor will the Master of the Bell Hall be disappointed."

He has observed Zhong Weiwei for a long time and believes that she is the one who can change Li Guo.

He is willing to follow her and help her, because they all have a common dream, which is the dream of strengthening the country.

The refuge of County Magistrate Liao put Zhong Weiwei in a good mood for several days.

The good news came quickly, Li Yuan, the former prince of Dongling, was safely escorted to Jiujun Town, Dongling received the news, and secretly sent Prime Minister Gu Yun to deal with the matter.

The people from Dongling came very quickly this time. It took less than a month from the day Li Yuan was arrested to the arrival of the special envoy in Jiujun Town.

The day Gu Yun arrived, it happened to be Dongyue 21, Zhong Weiwei got up before dawn because he couldn't sleep, and after getting dressed, he sat in the Fangming Hall and practiced the tea ceremony.

Jian Wu came to pick her up: "He arrived in the middle of the night. General Xu did not allow him to enter the city, and asked him to station ten miles away from Jiujun Town. He was only allowed to enter the city at dawn today. Do you want to go?"

Zhong Weiwei smiled and said, "Didn't you see that I dressed up early in the morning and waited for you?"

Jian Wu laughed, hugged her affectionately, and whispered: "Anyway, congratulations first, I hope you will have a lover and get married."

Zhong Weiwei hugged Jian Wu back, and said with a smile: "I have become a family member with His Majesty."

Jian Wu was a little dazed, and then smiled: "Exactly."

She took Zhong Weiwei's arm, walked out together, and said in a low voice: "It's good, you remember me, I remember you, it's better than anything else. However, you really decided not to care about the capital and the city. Is there something going on in the palace?"

Zhong Weiwei smiled lightly: "Otherwise? I've thought about it a long time ago."

Jian Wu shook her hand heavily: "That's good."

The two left the Fangming Hall together, boarded the car and left.

After the carriage traveled far, a man stepped out of the morning mist.

He Suo, in white clothes and blue shoes, was riding a little donkey, slowly falling behind, his temples were wet by the morning mist, and his eyebrows were twisted together due to the condensation of water vapor, looking deserted and lonely.

Xia Zhi followed behind, only sighing silently.

It was a cold and wet winter morning, but he rushed over so early and hid outside and did not go in. Zhong Weiwei did not show up when he came out, just because he was worried that Li Yuan would be arrested, and the former *Prince* party of Dongling would retaliate wildly Zhong Weiwei was afraid that showing up would increase Zhong Weiwei's burden.

This kind of feeling is too heavy, it is simply a disease, the kind of disease that must be cured.

The twentieth soon found someone following behind him, went up and told one quietly: "Someone is following, I don't know if it's from Dongling."

One of them shook his head: "I know who it is, just pretend not to know." To save embarrassment for everyone, that's all.

When Zhong Weiwei and others arrived at the city gate, it was not yet bright.

Xu Han led many soldiers to set up there, and when he saw them coming, he asked them to take them to the guard room on the side: "Go there, I made a fire and boiled hot water."

When the sky was bright, Zhong Weiwei and Jian Wu saw Dongling secret envoy and prime minister Gu Yun.

Gu Yun is a fat old man in his sixties, with a red face, a pair of long gray eyebrows, drooping down like a birthday star, coupled with a cheerful smile, he looks very friendly.
