Reborn in the last years of Kangxi

Chapter 1187 Favor Debt, Children's Debt ([-])
Cao Yong has managed Zhili for two years. Even if it can't be said that Zhili has a new look, everyone knows that Zhili's current development momentum is just right.

The governor of Zhili and the governor of Zhili, in the eyes of people, were only powerful in the eyes of people, and had a good reputation as "the head priest of the world", but now they are "good fortune", and it is appropriate to "receive both fame and fortune".

This is why so many people are staring at Tang Zhiyu, because he is the most likely candidate to succeed Cao Yong as governor of Zhili or governor of Zhili.

I don't want to impeach and criticize several times, but Tang Zhiyu has not been defeated.The emperor gave a chastity archway to protect Tang Zhiyu, even if those people were not angry, they dared not do it anymore.

The tragedy in Qingyuan City on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month gave those people the opportunity to open the officialdom in Zhili, and they would never let this opportunity pass.

It's just that because of the distance of hundreds of miles, the news is slow, and it doesn't show up now.

Governor's Palace, official residence.

After returning from Qing Yu Tang, Elder Brother Thirteen looked a little dignified.

Cao Yong's heart was also heavy, the casualties of hundreds of people was an unbearable pain for Qingyuan; the emperor would be shocked when he heard about it, but he would not send down his most trusted prime minister, Minister Wang.

In addition to understanding the people's situation and appeasing the people, the more important thing is that I am afraid that "criminal responsibility" will still be pursued.

This cannot be regarded as a natural disaster, it can only be regarded as a "man-made disaster".

The magistrate of Qingyuan cannot escape, but the weight is not enough. Could it be the magistrate of Baoding...

Cao Yong thought of Zhu Zhilian who was dragging his sick body and running around every day to resettle the casualties, his expression couldn't help but darken.

Sure enough, I heard Elder Brother Thirteen say: "Cao Yong, my master came out of Beijing this time, and brought the emperor's decree to dismiss Zhu Zhilian, ordered him to issue it before returning to Beijing, and take Zhu Zhilian back to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for trial..."

Cao Yong couldn't help being moved when he heard the words.

It's okay to dismiss from office, but do you still have to question the crime?

Even if Zhu Zhilian, as the magistrate of Baoding, couldn't get away from this matter, shouldn't he deal with it so seriously?

Cao Yong's expression was full of doubts, and he interceded for Zhu Zhilian to the thirteenth elder brother: "Thirteen Lord, Zhu Zhifu has always been diligent in government and caring for the people. It is not what he wants to happen. These days, he Even if there is no credit, there is hard work, if he hadn't worked hard day and night, he wouldn't have put the situation together, and I don't know what troubles would have arisen."

Brother Thirteen waved his hand and said: "You don't need to talk about this with me, the emperor will not know people who are unknown, and if Zhu Zhilian's integrity and character hadn't been taken into consideration, he would not have appointed him the title of Marquis of Support... just straight up There must be someone who has to admit guilt in this beach. It is enough to stop at Zhu Zhilian, the magistrate. Otherwise, it will be too big, and it will inevitably cause shocks in Zhili official circles. It is just a formality, and it will not be really difficult. He...although you manage well, two years is too short..."

Brother Thirteen's words were subtle, but Cao Yong also understood that the emperor's behavior was to preserve Tang Zhiyu.

Just when Cao Yong is about to return to Beijing, if Tang Zhiyu is held accountable for the crime of trampling and causing casualties to the people, it will be difficult for him to succeed Zhili governor. There are many people waiting to pick the fruit in Zhili.

Cao Yong let out a long breath, although Tang Zhiyu had known him for a longer time and had a deeper friendship with him, but Zhu Zhilian's character and behavior had always been respected by him.

He felt panicked in his heart, and said: "If all the faults are blamed on Zhu Zhifu, I am afraid that the crime is not light, what does the Thirteenth Master think will be dealt with?"

Elder Brother Thirteen pondered for a while, and said: "It's nothing more than dismissal, confiscation of titles, loss of favor... You don't have to worry, Ming Taizu will always be sacrificed, and the title of marquis of grace that has been taken away will also be inherited by his eldest son... ..."

Cao Yong was relieved when he heard the words.

I heard the thirteenth elder brother go on to say: "I saw Zhu Zhilian today. Although he is a bit old-fashioned, he loves the common people. He is a capable official. I heard that he is related to your wife. These days, you can also mention him when you have time. Let him know it in his heart. In case things come to an end, he won't have anything to worry about."

Although seeing Zhu Zhilian's behavior as a human being, he didn't seem to be able to "suicide in fear of crime", but he still had to guard against being frightened and unable to endure it.

Just like today when Shang first ascended the throne, there were not enough manpower on hand, thinking of the upright Mengshi Wang Yi who was dispatched to the Northwest Army, he ordered him to be called back to Beijing.

When Wang Yiyin was teaching in his early years, he had a harsh attitude and had a bad relationship with the present emperor. Seeing the order, he thought that the emperor wanted to deal with him, and was so frightened that he swallowed gold and committed suicide.

If Zhu Zhilian was terrified or felt wronged, he followed Wang Yi's example and lost his life in vain, wouldn't he be wronged?
Although Brother Thirteen had good intentions, it was obviously not a good job.

But Cao Yong knew that there was no delay. Brother Thirteen was the emperor's right-hand man, and he would never leave Beijing for too long.

He nodded and agreed to the matter.

After discussing business matters, Brother Thirteen proposed to visit Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhao Jia.

Cao Yong first sent people to pass the news to the inner house, and then he sat with Brother Shisan for half a cup of tea before accompanying him out of the mansion.

In Mrs. Li's room, Mrs. Zhao Jia was holding Mrs. Li, talking about the hundred days of Jinsun.

Su Xin gave birth to a son-in-law at the end of July, news came a few days ago that Chu Yu had already sent someone to Henan to deliver congratulatory gifts.Calculating the time, these two days are the period of the full moon.

Although the second house of Dongfu already has a grandson, the youngest son is ill and has no hope of heirs, which has always been Zhao Jia's hidden pain.

Today, however, times have changed.

If it wasn't for the draft, he would be returning to Beijing soon, and Zhao Jia would go to Henan to eat his grandson's full moon wine.

"Amitabha, I was originally worried about Xiaowu and his room. Although there is a heavenly guardian, it is not his own life... Now it will be fine. Even if I disappear suddenly, I can close my eyes." After getting the news , After repeating the words a hundred and eighty times, Zhao Jia pulled it out and repeated it again.

Mrs. Li listened with a smile, although she was happy for her nephew and nephew, but she couldn't bear to think of the embarrassing Tianhu.

Since the fifth house has a son, Tianhu's status as the heir is not real.

If I had known this earlier, it would have been better if I hadn't continued at the beginning and supported the family when I grew up. Uncles and uncles would never watch their nephews suffer, and they would always make proper arrangements.

At this moment, Chu Yu had already brought the servant girl over to deliver a message, saying: "Old lady, the master sent someone to the inner house to convey that the thirteenth master went to Qingyuan on business, and he is now in the governor's mansion, and will visit the old lady and the second old lady later. "

When Mrs. Li heard this, she was very surprised.

You know, according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, the clan cannot leave Beijing easily.

Mrs. Li has lived in the south of the Yangtze River with her husband for decades, except for the clan and prince accompanying the grandpa during his southern tour, he rarely heard news of the clan going to the south of the Yangtze River.Even if there is a prince who goes south under the order, it will not happen once in ten or eight years.

But as the son arrived at the Zhili territory, the number of princes and clans who appeared in Qingyuan was a slap in the face.

Mrs. Zhao Jia was at the side. Seeing that Mrs. Li was silent, she hurriedly said, "Good sister-in-law, what are you still doing in a daze? Since you want to see Master Thirteen, you have to do it in order to show respect."

Mrs. Li nodded, and the maids waited on her to change into the big clothes for meeting guests, and Mrs. Zhao Jia did the same.

The two sisters-in-law had just cleaned up, and Cao Yong had already arrived with Brother Thirteen.

Mrs. Lee and Mrs. Zhao Jia wanted to meet in a state ceremony, but they were stopped by Brother Thirteen.

Elder Brother Thirteen first asked about Mrs. Li's recent situation, and when she saw that she was in good health, he felt relieved; he then mentioned a few things about the draft to Mrs. Zhao Jia.

I heard that Thirteenth Fujin once said that when the fourth sister came to Beijing, someone would take her to live in the palace for a while, Zhao Jia was so happy that she couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

After spending half a cup of tea in front of Mrs. Li, Brother Thirteen got up to say goodbye...

*
The next day, when Cao Yong was thinking about how to complete the entrustment of the thirteenth elder brother in the official residence, the young man came in and reported: "Master, Mr. Liu from the magistrate's yamen is here."

Cao Yong is acquainted with Zhu Zhilian and knows that Liu Chuan acts prudently. If there is no urgent matter this early in the morning, he would not come in person.

"Come in!" Cao Yong commanded.

After a while, Liu Chuan arrived.

His brows and eyes were full of exhaustion, and his voice was already hoarse. After showing his respects to Cao Yong, he stated his intentions: "Lord Duxian, our master can't stand it anymore. He hasn't closed his eyes properly for several days. He has fainted many times in the past two days. After all, he is getting old. The student persuaded him to have a good life and raise him for a few days, but he refused; the student tried to find a way, so he came to see Lord Duxian to decide..."

Cao Yong stood up and said: "So, the governor will go to visit him.

After hearing this, Liu Chuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Cao Yong explained to several clerks who were on duty in the official residence, and then came out with Liu Chuan.

When the two arrived at the magistrate's yamen, they were in vain, Zhu Zhilian was not in the magistrate's yamen, but went to Qingyutang.

When he arrived at Qingyu Hall, he didn't see Zhu Zhilian, but Yao Fang looked at Cao Yong's mended clothes with a straight face, and said with a sneer, "This is a medical center, not a yamen!
Cao Yong knew that all masters had a temper, so he didn't care about him. After nodding at him, he walked in directly...

Zhu Zhilian's complexion was sallow, his eyes were closed tightly, and he lay upright, looking lifeless.

"My lord..." Liu Chuan choked with sobs, walked to the bedside, looked at Zhu Zhilian who was unknown, and was speechless.

At this moment, Dr. Song got the news and came to pay his respects.

Cao Yong asked about Zhu Zhilian's illness carefully, but the more he listened, the more serious he became.

According to Dr. Song, Zhu Zhilian was "excessively worried" and had trouble sleeping and eating, which made his body weak and invaded by external evils.

Now Zhu Zhilian is in a coma because of the medicine he took just now, there is a medicine that can calm the nerves.

In order to allow Zhu Zhilian to cultivate in peace, Cao Yong finally ordered Zhu Zhilian to assign all the errands at hand according to Liu Chuan's request, and he was not allowed to go there in person.

When Zhu Zhilian got the news, he was stunned for a long time, then changed into a make-up suit, and made the servant take the letter box and went to the governor's mansion in person.

When the boy reported back, Zhu Zhilian came, and Cao Yong let out a long breath.

Zhu Zhilian had obviously guessed something, his face was very calm.

Elder Brother Thirteen has set a date for his return trip, Cao Yong didn't have time to dawdle, so he told Zhu Zhilian what happened.

Zhu Zhilian was not excited when he heard this, instead he looked calm and said: "As a parent from a locality, I have killed dozens of people because of my negligence, so I should be severely punished..."
