In the vast mountains in the southwest of Lingzhou, the high mountains and dense forests are full of miasma. In addition, wild animals such as jackals, tigers and leopards frequently appear. As a result, the area is sparsely populated and the arable land is small and scattered, which makes the Han people shun it.
Therefore, the Dayu Dynasty repeatedly encouraged the people and even forcibly moved them to work here to open up wasteland, but the effect was not significant.
The natives who have lived in the southwest of Lingzhou for generations still have absolute dominance here. The imperial decree of the Imperial Court can only be implemented in Congxing Mansion and the counties under Lingzhou. Ten miles away from the county, the court or the government
The deterrent effect is greatly weakened.
The power of the government was limited, but local affairs could not be neglected. Therefore, the powerful local gentry and landlords in Lingzhou were entrusted with positions such as township chiefs and chief security officers, responsible for connecting the government and the people, and at the same time providing stability.
The role of place.
Of course, this is only an ideal situation, and this result often requires games and interest exchanges between officials and gentry to achieve this result.
If the weight of any party on the scale is reduced, it will cause turmoil. This is the case in Lingzhou right now.
"My lord, here is an urgent letter from the Supervising Censor of Lingdao!"
"I understand, put it there."
Tang Hao didn't even raise his eyelids. He sat on the imperial chair and watched the pouring rain in the courtyard of the Yamen while silently sipping tea.
Joining the army wiped the rain off his face and said with a bitter look: "There is also a letter from the governor of Jiangnan, sir!"
Qian Lingdao Supervisory Censor and Jiangnan Governor. One of these two people is the Metropolitan Procuratorate responsible for supervising Qian, the highest official in Ling Erzhou, and the other is the most powerful official established by the imperial court in several states in Jiangnan.
In the past, Tang Hao would not want to provoke either of these two, after all, they both have the power to report directly to the emperor!
But when is it now? It is the last moment when Lingzhou will be in chaos, and it is the moment when the undercurrent of the capital is surging and the world's eyes are focused on it.
Even if he risks his life, Tang Hao will not be intimidated by these two letters.
"Governor of Jiangnan, tusk, these guys in Lingzhou are really powerful."
Tang Hao gritted his teeth and said this, and without thinking, he ignored the letter from the Jiangnan patrol: "It takes ten days for a few people to go from Jiangzhou to the capital, and twenty days for the round trip."
"I bet the imperial court doesn't have the time to deal with such a trivial matter right now. Even if the Metropolitan Procuratorate gets me involved, someone will delay my time."
After finishing the calculation in his mind, Tang Hao placed the tea cup firmly on the table, rubbed his chin and thought about his next plan, when he suddenly noticed something strange.
"Who?!"
Tang Hao's martial instinct sensed danger. He immediately stood up and rushed behind the screen in three steps and two steps. He quickly pulled out his sword and pointed it at the front of the patio that was blurred by the pouring rain.
The sound of pounding rain covered up all sounds. Joining the Army was startled by Tang Hao's actions and followed the direction Tang Hao's eyes pointed.
"Bah bang bang!"
In the rain curtain that was big enough to blur the vision, a silhouette gradually emerged. The person who came was a thin man wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat.
After meeting the eyes with only a few eyes hidden under the bamboo hat, Tang Hao's pupils shrank suddenly, and even his breathing stopped.
Without a moment's hesitation, he came to the conclusion that the person in front of him was a master!
It was this person who seemed to make him feel dangerous...
Tang Hao did not dare to act rashly and was about to adjust his posture to prepare to defend himself against the enemy, when the opponent suddenly spoke.
"Master Tang, the person you were waiting for has arrived."
.......
"Master Tang, a boy from Qianzhou is here to cause trouble again."
In a small and secret room in Zhizhou Yamen, Chen Ping bowed his hand to Tang Hao and said with a faint smile.
While he was talking, Chen Ping glanced at a pile of letters on the table in the room, which contained the words "Supervisory Censor" and "Jiangnan Patrol"!
Tang Hao pointed at Chen Ping and cursed with a smile: "If the world knows that you are not in the capital at the moment, but have traveled thousands of miles south to Lingzhou, I'm afraid it will shock the jaws of those who failed."
"Since the founding of the Dayu Dynasty, this is the first Huiyuan like you!"
Tang Hao couldn't describe how he felt now. He was ordered to come to Lingzhou to investigate. Now the situation in Lingzhou was in danger. Logically speaking, Chen Ping's arrival should make him happy.
However, when he saw in front of him the youngest Huiyuan of the Dayu Dynasty in his prime and in his prime, who really ignored the risk of missing the imperial examination and came all the way to Lingzhou, Tang Hao hesitated.
"Others may value fame or not more than life, but I don't. My mentor died unjustly, and there are clues about the thief in Lingzhou. How can I sit in the capital?"
"I have kept Master Tang waiting for so long. I am afraid that your life in Lingzhou will not be easy these days. I would like to thank you for your help."
Whether it is a scholar, a scholar, or the current Huiyuan and the future number one scholar, Chen Ping doesn't care that much. Traveling through the Great Reputation Dynasty and resurrecting his life, fame and fortune are nothing to him.
At the beginning of time travel, his vision was just to improve the life of his family through his own efforts. It would be good enough to rely on the memories of his past life to get a private tutor or ghostwrite letters for others.
Until he met Ye Wenchang who led him to the road of sainthood, Chen Ping's vision remained simple, but the scope was expanded.
From the time when I just wanted to improve my family's life, I am now caring about the people of the entire Dynasty and benefiting the world.
This road is destined to be full of difficulties and obstacles, but Chen Ping is not afraid, but before that he needs to find the murderer who killed his mentor, otherwise this matter is destined to become his inner demon!
Tang Hao listened to Chen Ping's words in silence, "Perhaps it would be better for you to stay in the capital and wait until you become the number one scholar after the palace examination. By then, with your talent and learning ability, you will be able to be in the imperial court in a short time. At that time, we will track down and kill you."
Isn’t the teacher’s true culprit simpler?”
Chen Ping smiled and did not answer directly: "Everything has pros and cons. I'm here now, so I ask Mr. Tang to help me."
Tang Hao was startled, and then he was relieved. This was Chen Ping's own choice. Now that he had forgotten about the chance to jump over the dragon gate such as the palace examination and came to Lingzhou, all he could do was to cooperate with him as much as possible.<
/p>
"I can't believe that you have such courage and courage before you even reach the age of crowning. I am the one who got you."
"Tang has prepared this big banquet in Lingzhou for you. Please invite Chen Huiyuan to the banquet!"
Chen Ping smiled slightly and bowed to Tang Hao. What he was waiting for was Tang Hao's words.
In the evening of that day, in the Zhizhou Yamen of Congxing Fucheng, the Lingzhou Administrative Office, Yang Anguo saw the man he had been thinking about and almost thought he had been deceived by Tang Hao.
But as soon as they met Yang Anguo, he froze in place.
"Tang Hao, is this the person you say can investigate the Lingzhou case?"
Yang Anguo suppressed the anger in his heart and asked Tang Hao. Tang Hao had a bright smile on his face and asked in surprise.
"What? Does Mr. Yang look down upon the youngest Huiyuan since the founding of this dynasty?"
