"Back to the Emperor." This time it was Dong Gao who stood up and knelt beside Dai Quheng, saying: "I believe that the Emperor's Sacred Heart has made a clear decision. Hu Jitang did make an oversight, but Dai Shilang's words are not completely unreasonable.

Although Hu Jitang should be punished for his oversight, we must first see if he can carry out the robbery. So I thought, it would be better to seize Hu Jitang's crown prince Taibao and Dai Hualing first, and then take the post of governor-general of Zhili.

, it is best to give him another two days of grace. If he can find out the whereabouts and name of the culprit, he will be allowed to serve the crime and continue to be the governor of Zhili. If Hu Jitang makes no progress within two days, it will not count if the emperor finds someone else to investigate.

Too late, I hope the emperor will think twice."

As he was talking, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside Yangxin Hall. A eunuch walked to the front of the hall holding a memorial. Zhang Jinzhong hurriedly walked over to ask, and then came back and reported to Jiaqing: "Back to the emperor, Hu Jitang's memorial has arrived, does the emperor want it?"

Take a look first?" Hearing what Dong Gao said, Jiaqing was naturally a little hesitant, and couldn't help but nodded, and then opened the report submitted by Zhang Jinzhong and started reading it.

Looking at it, Jiaqing couldn't help but feel angry again and said: "Such a thief is really crazy! You all should also listen to what is going on. There is a habitual thief named Zhang Biao in the famous place. More than ten years ago

, just when the daimyo had a criminal record, he didn’t expect that more than ten years later, not only did the government have nothing to do with him, but twenty or thirty of his subordinates also started to rob me at my feet! There are less than a hundred people in this group, what’s the point?

What is scary? Just because he has been wandering around the borders of the three provinces of Zhili, Shandong and Henan for more than ten years. As a result, the governors of the three provinces did not regard any of them as their own business and ignored no one. In the end, he suffered from carbuncle and became what he is now.

Look! Does he think that I can't control a place like the junction of three provinces? This time I will control it! This time Zhili is clearing out Zhang Biao's bandit gang, just arrest them all the way, regardless of the three provinces, Shandong and Henan provinces are not allowed to

Intervene in Zhili's arrest of thieves! Dai Quheng, go and draw up the decree."

"Your Majesty, how should we decide on Hu Jitang's punishment? Should he be retained as the governor of Zhili, or should he be dismissed directly and someone else be investigated?" Dong Gao asked.

This question made Jiaqing fall into deep thought without realizing it.

"When Huang Ama was in power, he would always decide all the important matters personally. Although Huang Ama was very good at judging others, it was easy for these ministers to think that he was only there to prepare for things and did not need to decide things. If things go on like this, the ministers would

It is not a good thing for the government to dare to speak out. I have only been in charge for less than a year, and I need to open up my voice and listen to people's advice. If I completely ignore Dai Quheng's words at this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to fulfill the purpose of reform. Not to mention my ability.

Even though they are not as good as Emperor Ama, they still need to speak. But if I listen to him, it will make them think that I have no independent opinion in everything, and if I am controlled by others in the future, it will not be right..."

After much deliberation, the advice of Dai Quheng and Dong Gao did make sense. If he insisted on changing people, he might not be able to investigate Zhang Biao and his gang immediately. But even so, he could not completely obey them, so Jiaqing said: "

Dai Quheng is planning to write an edict: Hu Jitang, as the governor of Zhili, was completely unable to detect the thieves in the territory in advance, so that the thieves Zhang Biao robbed Changxindian, and the people suffered. Such mistakes must be severely punished! Prince Hu Jitang should be dismissed

As for the post of Taibao, the flower feathers on his head were cut off. As for the governor of Zhili... he was temporarily dismissed. However, in order to keep in mind that he was diligent in his daily work and had made great contributions to Shanling, he was authorized to temporarily serve as the governor of Zhili for one month to strictly investigate thieves and thieves.

No, after one month, severe punishment will be imposed!" In this way, Hu Jitang's punishment was to be dismissed first and then retained, which was more severe than the suggestions of Dai Quheng and Dong Gao, but compared to Jiaqing's initial thoughts, he was already tolerant.

He did a lot, not only maintaining his own authority, but also taking into account the opinions of the two military and aircraft ministers.

Dai Quheng hurriedly kowtowed again and was about to go down to draw up an edict. Jiaqing suddenly said: "Hang on, this time when I go down, I will also issue another edict to the governors of the provinces. I will make it clear to them all the thieves and robbers in Zhili.

If there are such thieves and thieves, don’t they disappear in all provinces? After receiving the order, be sure to check the territory as soon as possible. If there are thieves, they will be investigated and dealt with strictly! If it is the same as Zhili, and the officers and soldiers are lazy, it is natural.

Be severely punished! The provinces in Sichuan and Chu that are at war should be on strict guard, but especially the provinces without war must take precautions before they happen! Today's matter is settled like this, you can just stand down." Dai Quheng.

He had no choice but to turn around and bow down, and kowtow to the leader. The rest of the people didn't know what to say for a while, so they had no choice but to bow down together and wish him good luck and happiness, and then left one after another.

Jiaqing's face was also full of sorrow that could not be concealed and could not dissipate for a long time.

The messengers sent by Jiaqing to deliver the edict were all fast horses, but when Ruan Yuan left the capital, he took a boat to go south. The messenger who sent the letter to Zhejiang also knew that Ruan Yuan had just taken office, so he chased Ruan Yuan all the way along the river, and finally caught up with Ruan Yuan's boat in Dezhou.

Ruan Yuan looked at the imperial edict and frowned for a while.

It was getting late at night, and the family had prepared dinner on the boat. Suddenly, they heard that there was an imperial edict coming from the shore. Then Ruan Yuan came back, and he was quite unhappy. Everyone was puzzled. When Ruan Yuan saw this, he had no choice but to leave.

I briefly talked to everyone in the family about the robbery of the new store. When it came to catching the robbers, I had no idea at the moment. Thinking that in Zhejiang, there might be a lot of robberies, so Ruan Yuan actually didn't want to touch the table anymore.

Chopsticks.

"Master, you still have to eat the dinner you should have. If you don't even eat a bite of food and starve yourself, won't it make it even more difficult to think of ideas? According to my opinion, you should eat the dinner first.

Hangzhou is still half a month away from the water, so there is always time to think of a solution." Kong Luhua looked at Ruan Yuan's expressionless face and couldn't help but comfort her husband.

"Thank you madam, but I really have no clue about what's going on right now..." Ruan Yuan sighed.

"Boyuan, I think Madam is right. This chicken is delicious. Why don't you come and try it too, or eat more delicious food? Maybe you will feel better when you are happy." Yang Ji

He said, Dezhou has always been famous for its roast chicken. Yang Ji also traveled with Ruan Yuan between the canals many times, and he has always been familiar with the specialties here. On this day, he finally stopped in Dezhou and wanted to taste it. Ruan Yuan consciously made this move

It's not a big deal, but I didn't stop it.

"That's fine." Ruan Yuan didn't want to displease his family, so he had to pick up some food and eat a few bites. But at this time, he was in a heavy mood. No matter how delicious the food was, it was still dull.

"Master, didn't we talk about it during the day? When we go south to Hangzhou, the first important thing is to recruit staff. The governor's affairs are complicated. Without the help of capable staff, no matter whether it is internal or external affairs, it will be impossible. Master

I was an academic officer before, and I didn’t personally participate in catching robbers. Of course I have no experience. But what if there are a few people I know who have done these things? If I can find them and join the trap, I will know how to solve the problem.

Is there a problem?" Kong Luhua looked at Ruan Yuan and came up with ideas for him.

"That's what Madam said, but in the past few days, I have also thought about all the friends around me. If there are people who can help me in my duties as governor, I only think of Litang. Others... I had a boy when I was young.

My friend Jiang Zhengtang is also in Yangzhou, but he has always been a loner, so he may not be able to help me?" Ruan Yuandao.

"What? Master, are you still thinking about Litang?" Kong Luhua couldn't help laughing and said: "Master, please don't hide it from us. Daddy has told us before that when Master was young, he and others

In a fight, Master, you should be protecting Litang. You said Litang is knowledgeable and knows arithmetic, and we believe that. But if you ask Litang to help you catch thieves, Master, let alone thieves, if this chicken is today,

Master asked Litang to catch him back, so do we have to wait until tomorrow before we can eat?" The whole family couldn't help laughing when they heard Kong Luhua's funny words, and the previously gloomy atmosphere became lighter.

few.

"Madam, please stop making fun of Litang." Ruan Yuan said with a smile: "It's not that you don't know that my friends in Yangzhou when I was young were all studying. When I was a school inspector in Hangzhou, the students who were recruited did not personally participate in the arrest.

Thief. If you suddenly ask me to find such a person, is it possible... is it possible that we should give birth to one now?"

"Okay, you finally said it. It turns out that you have been saying that you want a biological child these days just so that you can work hard for you in the future? Sister Wenru, sister Yuezhuang, did you hear this clearly?"

As he said this, the family couldn't stop laughing.

"Okay, Boyuan, Luhua, why don't dad say a few words?" Ruan Chengxin said with a smile on one side: "Bo Yuan, dad has been telling you since you came to Zhejiang to study politics, if you don't have enough friends.

If you use it, can you find your father? Although I have never been an official or handled a case, I did a lot of walking when I was young. Your grandfather passed away in Qinzhou, and I went all the way to Qinzhou to pick up his coffin.

After I came back and went to Huguang several times, I naturally saw a lot of folk things. Dad has never been involved in catching robbers, but he has seen and heard about them. Maybe this can help you."

"Dad, you are getting older, so I would rather..." Ruan Yuan naturally didn't want his father to worry about his own affairs anymore.

"Boyuan, this is because you are too cautious." Ruan Chengxin said: "What's wrong with being older? Being older has its own benefits. First, as you get older, you have more experience in doing things. You know

What should be done and what should not be done. Secondly, as far as dad is concerned, I am sixty-six this year, and I can talk to people in their sixties. Bo Yuan, among the seniors in their sixties, are you the only one?

Are there no familiar people with experience in catching thieves? As long as there are one or two, if it is inconvenient for you to come forward, I will do it. Maybe even though they are older, they also want to start a career again.

?Boyuan, you have to understand that most of my father’s generation experienced He Shen’s dictatorship. How many of them were not reused in their lives, and even died with regrets because they were honest and self-reliant and unwilling to cater to their superiors.

?But most of them know your reputation. If you can tell them one by one what you will do after entering Zhejiang, dad believes that they can see your sincerity for the people. By then, you and I, father and son, will
