After Zhou An went to Beicheng, he stayed in Sangen Pavilion. In the name of revenge for the Ye family, he wanted to gather a large number of assassins to assassinate Ning Wuhuang.
When she learned the news, she was still thinking about how to let Ning Wuhuang know about it.
Later, I saw that Ning Wuyang was traveling with Miss Shen, and there were many guards protecting her openly and covertly. I guessed that Ning Wuyang might have heard the news.
"If that's all it is..."
With Wu Luan's understanding of the royal family, she clearly understood that under the current situation in Daxing, Zhou An had nothing to gain from Jinling. The King of Jin would definitely send someone back to the capital soon, and Ning Wuyan's safety would be safe from now on.
Never imagined.
Ning Wuhuang would go with Zhou Jingxian to escort the perfume to Jing'an City before Zhou An left Jinling. He didn't expect that he would encounter robbers when officials cleared the way.
The government said they were robbers, but in the blink of an eye, Su Rui personally led heavy armored soldiers to surround the Sanding Pavilion. It was obvious whether the robbers were gangsters or killers.
Thinking of this, Wu Luan's scalp went numb.
"Could it be possible that the person that night was really..."
If it were Zhou An, then Zhou An would probably have been buried in the flames.
The case has not yet been settled, and the Jin Palace has come to look for the person. It is not known whether they have heard the news.
Wu Luan thought that if Zhou An died, then the incident was most likely a result of the dispute between Jin and Kang, and Zhou Jingxian's plan to kill Zhou An.
It's just that she doesn't know what role Ning Wuxu plays in this game.
As the ninth princess of Qiuci, when she was not sure which prince would be the next Daxing Emperor, she should have been impartial and used this opportunity to make friends with the Jin Palace and become a wallflower.
But thinking of the annoying Zhou An and Ning Wuyan, she finally chose to turn a blind eye to the Jin Palace's pursuit of Zhou An's whereabouts.
Anyway, the killer who used to be in San Geng Pavilion and is now recruited by Zhou Jingxian is not a fellow traveler with Qiuniang, but her die-hard loyalist.
"But, I have to give him a heads up."
The only advantage of not taking advantage of this opportunity to sell the Jin Palace is to let Ning Wuhuang be wiser and stop stupidly doing meritorious deeds for the father and daughter of Prince Kang and Princess Xian, and end up being accused of killing the marquis.
only.
She couldn't reveal her identity, and Zhangjiazhuang was loose on the outside and tight on the inside, so how could she send the message?
…
Jinling Mansion Office.
Su Rui stamped the official seal on the closing document and handed it to Qin Tongpan, the newly promoted deputy judge next to him.
This person is a descendant of the Qin family in the capital. He once worked as a bookkeeper in Xia County. Although he has outstanding abilities, because of the various official positions in Jiangnan Province, he is always a good job. Even some of the officials' sons in the capital like to come to Jiangnan. Dao intervened.
As a result, although Qin Tongpan was a third-level official and entered the official position at the age of sixteen, he had been moving around in the low-level lower county official position for fourteen years.
This time, Su Rui became the acting magistrate because he personally met with the students who were teaching in the village at the government office. After seeing Qin Fenglan, he remembered that he had such a capable official under his command and promoted him.
According to Su Rui's authority, he could not decide on the post of Sixth Grade General Judge, but Jiangnan Road has been achieving good results recently, and Qin Fenglan has become a leading figure in the village school issue. He believes that His Majesty will definitely approve it.
Mr. Huang, who was sitting next to him, looked at the busy Qin Tongpan with envy and could not help but make sour remarks.
"Qin Tongpan, congratulations to you. You have been favored by the governor. You were promoted two levels in a row. You were transferred from the poorest county in Jiangnan Province to Jinling Prefecture. You must enforce the law impartially in the future and don't imitate Ye Tongpan. , using his official position to enrich his own pockets."
Mr. Huang was one of the officials specially invited by Su Rui to find out whether he was related to the Ye family case.
After sitting on the bench in the government office for the past two days, he was extremely grateful for his principle of protecting himself and only doing things for Prince Jin, and never doing things for Prince Jin that were of no use to him.
Only in this way can he escape from the Ye family's case completely without making any mistakes, which even the inspector who is now in his original position cannot do.
After hearing Master Huang's words, Qin Tongpan showed a somewhat naive smile on his square face, and held the official document and bowed to Master Huang.
"I sincerely follow the teachings of your Majesty the Inspector, and with the supervision of your Majesty the Inspector, we and other officials must keep themselves clean."
Although he was demoted to the rank of inspector, he was still a fifth-rank official and was still in charge of the evaluation of officials in various counties in Jinling and the reporting of civilian grievances.
Master Huang saw that Judge Qin Tong valued him so much. He thought that he had a higher position than the other official and had greater authority. The dissatisfaction in his heart was slightly balanced. He looked at Su Rui and inquired: "There are too many officials dismissed this time, and I don't know that Your Majesty How will it be arranged?”
"Your Majesty will make arrangements for those above the seventh rank. Your Majesty below the seventh rank will leave it to me. What, Mr. Huang has someone he would like to recommend?"
Su Rui handed the compiled list of missing officials to Mr. Huang without raising his head.
The inspector-general has the power to also take charge of prefecture and county officials, and this matter cannot be ignored by Mr. Huang.
But Su Ruiken gave it to him, explaining that Mr. Huang would not be removed from his post again because of the Ye family's negligence.
Master Huang took it flattered, his eyes suddenly fell on the seventh rank and above, and recorded them carefully, so that he could carve each of them in his mind, and later copy them and give them to King Jin as a gift.
As for those below seventh grade... there are a few good young people in the clan.
"I would like to try to promote and appoint some officials below the seventh rank from among the meritorious students from Jianshe Village and the merchants who have contributed to Jinling's tax revenue."
Before Mr. Huang could open his mouth to recommend him, Su Rui blocked Mr. Huang's personal thoughts with just one sentence.
Mr. Huang thought of the leaders of the Village Construction School, Cheng Yi and Qin Fenglan. They were both great talents from the capital. They had strong family backgrounds and were famous. They would definitely be on the list to participate in the Spring Festival next year.
As for the merchant, it's almost as if he said it was the Ning family.
How should his powerless Huang family fight?
You still have to rely on the power of the Jin Palace to slowly plot.
"I think the governor's arrangement is appropriate, and your majesty will definitely agree."
Master Huang reluctantly handed back the list. While he was planning to deliver the news to King Jin, he was also secretly making his own plans.
When he and Zhou An were together, although he did not offend the Ning family openly, there should be some minor misunderstandings.
He happened to be in Jinling for the investigation, and soon went to Zhangjiazhuang to visit Ning Wuyan, to resolve unnecessary misunderstandings and prove that he would not be the enemy of the Ning Mansion like the Ye family.
"Master Huang, I have written to your Majesty to explain your innocence. If there is nothing else, you can go and do your own business."
Su Rui achieved his purpose of delivering the message to King Jin through Lord Huang and began to drive away people.
It's not that he sells well like King Jin, it's simply that in this way, when the person he recommends is replaced by King Jin, His Majesty will be able to clearly understand King Jin's ambitions for Jiangnan Road.
And when he was in office, he could also tell whether the people under his command were pretending to be His Majesty or the King of Jin.
As for King Kang, there were not many people available to King Kang. It was said that the Qin family was married to Prince Kang's palace, so he appointed a Qin Tong judge to take office, and then recommended Qin Fenglan. Even if Qin Fenglan wanted to take the merit examination and refused, the memorial said Writing down this person's name can make him look familiar in front of His Majesty.
Su Rui did this without any selfish intention of surrendering to King Kang.
He glanced at Qin Tongpan, who was busy writing at his desk and didn't care about what the outside world was doing, and smiled happily.
He was just trying to get an official position in Daxing without wanting to fight for power and gain, regardless of the corrupt officials in Daxing and the people.
"Qin Tongpan, I have almost finished handling the affairs in Jinling Prefecture. Now the counties have begun to harvest rice. Prefect Jiang is busy investigating other cases in Lai'an County. I still have to go to the rich peasant landlords to keep an eye on the grain tax." Please handle all the big and small affairs of this government office for the time being."
"Please rest assured, Lord Governor, I will take care of everything."
Qin Tongpan stood up and made a bow as a farewell, then sat down again and continued to deal with the documents that had been backlogged for many days.
Su Rui didn't blame him for being rude, he just thought it was rare for this person to be sincere.
After signaling Su Zhou to be quiet, he walked out quietly.
As soon as they reached the gate, a horse twisted its head and buttocks, as if it had just been tamed, coming from the north of the city and stopped at the gate.
"Your letter, Lord Governor."
