"Yinxing, where are you now?"
"Back to the master, we have just passed Hesan County and are almost at the boundary of Yu'an Mansion."
The sky at this time was very hot, and a carriage was driving on the official road, heading towards Yu'anfu City.
Sitting in the carriage was Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu.
Sitting in the carriage, he was so hot that he could hardly wipe his sweat away.
The man driving the horse is the steward Yin Xing. As long as he can follow the master every time, he is happy. No matter what dangers there are on the road, he thinks it is better than staying in the Guo Mansion.
Although he was dripping with sweat in front of the carriage, he thought it was no big deal.
Perhaps during this time in the Guo Mansion, he was scolded by those ladies.
When the carriage arrived at Anfu Fucheng, it was completely dark, and there were very few people coming and going in the streets and alleys.
"Hush!"
With a shout, the horse stopped in front of a hotel called "Jiuxiang Inn" in Yuanfu City.
Seeing a carriage stop, the waiter of the inn hurriedly ran out to greet him.
"Your Majesty, welcome." The waiter greeted happily.
Before they even got off the carriage, the steward Yin Xing gave the order: "Come to two good rooms and let us rest here for the night."
Seeing the guest's arrogance, the waiter smiled with a smile on his face: "Okay, sir." After saying that, he saw the waiter shouting his name towards the inn: "Girl! Come out!"
Hearing the shout, a person hurriedly walked over from the inn.
"Go and help this guest park the carriage in the courtyard and get it settled. Don't make any mistakes."
"good."
At this time, Yin Xing, the steward on the carriage, and Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, who was in the carriage, just got off the carriage.
Since Guo Kang, the imperial censor of Zuodu, did not wear official uniforms, the waiter only regarded them as businessmen who came to stay. After all, it could be seen from the clothes that they were not ordinary people, and there was also the bold and generous person just now. It can be seen from the two good side rooms that the two of them are not short of money.
As soon as he walked into the inn, while the housekeeper Yin Xing and the shopkeeper were doing business, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, had already begun to investigate the case.
"Have you recently used this sea ban in Chuanzhifu to make money?" Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, asked.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper raised his head, with a nervous look on his face, and whispered: "Sir, please don't talk about this in public."
Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, didn't understand and asked, "Why is this?"
Seeing that the guest officer was so curious, and seeing that there was no one around him, the shopkeeper lowered his voice and answered: "Recently, the government is strictly investigating this matter. Anyone who dares to slander the prefect again will be punished. , at least the injury won’t heal in a few months, at worst

Then be beaten to death. "
Listening to these words again, Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, became more and more curious.
"Is this true or false?" Guo Kang asked.
Seeing that the person in front of him was wearing clothes belonging to a wealthy family, the shopkeeper lowered his head nervously and gave the two of them the room numbers.
"Sir, the best room is ready. You two go with the waiter." After saying that, he looked at the waiter in the inn and shouted: "Waiter! Come here! Take the two of you with you. Guest officer, please go back to your room!"
"okay!"
The waiter hurried over, looked at the room numbers in their hands, and led them upstairs.
When Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, set out from the capital, he was wearing his own clothes and no official uniform, so few people along the way recognized his identity.
But he was the censor of Zuodu at that time, so even if he wasn't wearing official uniform, many people would still recognize him.
After hearing the news, the young official rushed to Cen's mansion anxiously.
Cen Mansion is the home of Cen Yongchang, the prefect of Yu'an Prefecture.
Just when the junior official ran to the Cen Mansion, he saw that the door of the mansion was completely dark inside and outside. There were no guards on either side of the door, and there was not a sound inside the mansion.
Looking at the style of Cen's mansion, the junior official believed that this was the home of Cen Yongchang, the prefect.
I saw this little official running into Cen's mansion in a hurry.
"Prefect Cen!"
"Prefect Cen!"
The shouting never stopped. I don’t know if it’s because of the darkness in the house, or because of fear of the darkness, or for whatever reason. In short, as long as the shouting didn't stop wherever he walked.
At this time, the prefect Cen Yongchang was taking a walk in this mansion. Although it was dark around him, Cen Yongchang didn't turn on a light. He thought he was extremely familiar with this Cen mansion.
Hearing the shout, Magistrate Cen Yongchang walked along the direction of the shout.
As they were walking, before the man could see him, the official bumped into something inexplicably.
But it was dark and he couldn't see. Thinking about the body he had just bumped into, the officer's mouth trembled with fright, and he kept chanting: "Ghost! Ghost! Ghost!" He was so frightened that he immediately turned around. Got into the small bamboo forest.
Because it was dark, the prefect Cen Yongchang could not see who this person was. After listening to his words, Cen Yongchang turned his head and looked back in doubt, but did not see anyone. He thought in his mind: "How can this be?" Ghost, I have lived in this house for several years. I don’t know if there is a ghost.” After muttering to himself, Cen Yongchang walked towards the person shivering in the bamboo forest based on his feeling, because he could not see clearly. , Cen Yongchang had to use his own hands to find people.
Touching and touching, I happened to touch the shoulder of this young official.
But as for the junior official, looking at this figure and the darkness around him, he couldn't see his face clearly.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Without saying a word, he was so panicked that he wanted to move into the bamboo forest.
But this bamboo forest was artificially planted, and the bamboo forest was planted a bit densely. The official tried to move in but couldn't.
I was so nervous that I was dripping with sweat.
Fortunately, at this time, the prefect Cen Yongchang asked: "Who are you?"
The junior official was also very honest and said nervously: "I am Li Da, the official of the government office."
After hearing these words, Cen Yongchang straightened his back, looked at the figure, and laughed: "Li Tongpan."
After listening to these words and thinking about it carefully, the general judge named Li Da recognized the voice of the prefect Cen Yongchang.
"Prefect Cen, is that you?" Li Tongpan became a little less nervous.
After hearing this, thinking about the appearance of Li Da just now, the prefect Cen Yongchang smiled: "Isn't it me or who is it?"
Thinking about what he had just done, Magistrate Cen Yongchang stood up in a hurry, stood on the road where he could not see clearly, and asked in confusion: "Prefect Cen, it's so dark today, why don't you light a lamp? ?”
Magistrate Cen sighed and said: "I am almost at the end of my life. I want to experience what it feels like to live in an empty Cen Mansion." After speaking, he looked at the figure of General Judge Li Da and asked, "Li Da What's the matter with passing judgment so late?"
Thinking that it was an urgent matter, Li Da, the general judge, answered: "Prefect Cen, I heard that Guo Kang, the censor of Zuodu, has arrived at Yu'an Mansion."
Although he had been mentally prepared before, when he heard this, Cen Yongchang still felt a little nervous.
"Li Tongpan, go to the open place over there and talk."
"Eh."
Li Tongpan followed the prefect Cen Yongchang closely and headed towards Cen Yongchang's study.
Back in the study, Cen Yongchang sat on the bench behind the desk without saying a word for a long time.
At this time, the general judge Li Da, who was sitting on a chair in front of him, became a little nervous: "Prefect Cen, do we still have room to hide this matter?"
Listening to Li Tongpan's question, the prefect Cen Yongchang sighed: "Then let's see how vigorously the Zuodu Yushi handles affairs."
"Then...do you think he will find out with evidence?" Li Tongpan asked.
Magistrate Cen Yongchang shook his head: "I don't know. It depends on our luck. You also know the faces of some officials in the Yamen. Although I am the prefect of the Yamen, some officials have always been opposed to it. Once they state what I did in front of the Censor of Zuodu, it will be settled even if we don't admit it."
"Prefect Cen, is there really nothing we can do about this?" Li Tongpan asked.
The prefect, Cen Yongchang, stood up, wandered for a few steps in the study, sighed, and said, "It might be possible if the Zuodu censor doesn't do his job well."
