Save the Bachelor of Heaven

  Chapter 521 522 [Smoke Lock Pond Willow]

   "Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiang Nan bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I suggest that Wang Danwang be detained now, lest he jump over the wall in a hurry, and the trapped beast will continue to fight. I also request an order to go to Ganzhou, take out the prison food account book, and supervise the case of supervising grain."

  Qianlong pondered for a while.

   To be honest, the current evidence is still a bit weak.

  Currently, in the case of grain supervision in Ganzhou, Wang Danwang was suspected of malpractice for personal gain, which is only Wang Tingzan's one-sided opinion.

   It would be rash to detain the governor of a province based on this testimony.

   Moreover, he did not want to send Xiang Nan to Ganzhou to deal with the grain supervision case.

  Because Xiang Nan is an honest official, and the honest officials are so harsh, after he arrives in Ganzhou, he is likely to kill the Quartet, beheading all officials who are corrupt, bribery, and malpractice.

   In this way, Ganzhou officials are likely to lose more than half. If no one governs, Ganzhou will be in chaos.

  Even if the imperial court immediately sends people to fill the vacancies, the newly appointed officials may not be free from corruption. A batch of fat ducks were killed and replaced by a batch of lean ducks.

   Most of these thin ducks will also harm the public and private interests, even more greedy than those fat ducks. In this way, the people of Ganzhou still have to suffer without solving the fundamental problem.

  …

  Thinking of this, Qianlong was about to reject Xiang Nan.

   At this moment, the guards came in to report, "Report to the emperor, Ganzhou eight hundred miles, hurry up!"

   Qianlong took a look at it, and his face sank immediately, "He Shen was greedy for meritorious deeds, and he lost the battle and defeated our army!"

  Xiang Nan was equally displeased when he heard that, "The Maozi soldiers were raging in Ganzhou, killing one of our magistrates and one of our lieutenants, and even the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu could not be wiped out, which shows that they are not easy to deal with.

  He Shen really shouldn't be so rough, and Mao Zibing became even more arrogant. "

"Hmph, the grain supervision case has made no progress, and now I've lost the battle again. I really don't want to worry about this slave." Qianlong said displeased, "Well, Ji Xiaolan, I'll make a match for you. If you can If you are right, I will arrest Wang Danwang and let you go to Ganzhou to handle the case. If you are not right, then I will send someone else to go."

   "The emperor please be right." Xiang Nan bowed.

   "My upper couplet is: Yansuo Pond Willow." Qianlong immediately wrote the title. This first couplet came to him by accident when he was touring Ningbo, but the second couplet couldn't be right.

  Xiang Nan smiled, "The emperor's upper couplet seems simple, but it implies the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, earth, and it is indeed difficult to correct."

   "Then you are right." Qianlong nodded, with a look of color on his face.

   "Minister to: Pao Town Haicheng Tower." Xiang Nan said immediately.

  Qianlong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Ha, as expected of Ji Xiaolan. Okay, since that's the case, I will allow you to play."

   "Yes, I will act now." Xiang Nan said immediately.

   "Hey, by the way, Wang Danwang's adoptive daughter..." Qianlong suddenly said again.

  Xiang Nan heard it, and immediately looked over, "Your Majesty, what do you want?"

  Old Qianlong blushed, and waved his hands in embarrassment, "It's okay, you can go."

  He felt that Su Qinglian was not only beautiful, but also more talented, so he inevitably moved his mind and wanted to keep her by his side.

   It's just that it's not easy to tell Xiang Nan about this kind of thing.

   Honest officials are so harsh, sometimes they don’t show face to the king. In case of being scolded, it will be even more embarrassing.

  At this moment, he really regretted not keeping He Shen by his side. If He Shen was here, he wouldn't have to bother, He Shen would automatically help him.

   Hey, a slave is rare!

   "Yes, Your Majesty." Xiang Nan nodded.

  …

  Xiang Nan then took the imperial decree and brought a team of inner guards to Wang Danwang's mansion.

  Wang Danwang also heard about Wang Tingzan at this time, and knew that he had been imprisoned by Xiang Nan, and that he might have confessed in full, so he couldn't help being anxious.

   "Master, you can find a way to go to see Wang Tingzan, so that he must think clearly about the stakes." Wang Danwang then told the master.

  Afterwards, he came to Su Qinglian's boudoir again, and said pitifully, "Daughter, I have something to ask you for my father."

"Father, what are you talking about? If you hadn't rescued your daughter from the Lane of Fireworks and Willows back then, she would have been withered and haggard by now, how could she be where she is today." Seeing this, Su Qinglian nodded quickly, "What's the matter with you? My daughter will help you."

   "It's like this, that Ji Xiaolan is called the number one talented man, but he is actually talented but not virtuous. In order to be released as an official, he actually colluded with Wang Tingzan to slander his father.

  Daughter, you have met the emperor once, and the emperor has a good impression of you. For my father, I beg you to meet the emperor, avenge my father, and expose Ji Xiaolan's wolf ambition. "Wang Danwang said immediately.

   "How could he be such a person?" Su Qinglian said in surprise when she heard this.

  In the past few days, she and Xiang Nan sang poetry and prose, deeply impressed by each other's talent. In her opinion, Xiang Nan really deserves the title of the world's most talented scholar. How can you do something so unscrupulous now.

   "It's hard to draw a dragon or a tiger. You know people and faces but don't know your heart." Wang Danwang nodded and said, "Daughter, you must help my father."

   "Yes." Su Qinglian nodded, not mentioning the years of upbringing. It is a great kindness for Wang Danwang to redeem her from Fireworks and Willow Alley.

   "It's just that my daughter is a commoner, how can she face the saint?" Su Qinglian asked again worriedly.

   "This time the emperor inspected Ningbo and issued a couplet, and none of the accompanying officials could answer it." Wang Danwang explained, "If my daughter can match up, she will definitely be summoned by the emperor."

   "Oh, what is the Shanglian?" Su Qinglian asked.

   "The first couplet is: Yansuo Pond Willow, maybe the daughter will come up with the second couplet?" Wang Danwang asked expectantly.

  Su Qinglian pondered for a moment, then nodded, "Yes."

   "Okay, my daughter is really talented." Wang Danwang said happily.

  …

   At this moment, the housekeeper never reported, "Master, it's bad, Ji Xiaolan led troops to surround our house."

   "What?!" Wang Dan looked and was taken aback, he didn't expect Xiang Nan to come so fast.

   "He's still urging you to go to the front hall to receive the order." The butler said again.

   "This, this, this..." Wang Danwang was also terrified for a moment.

  Although he has always been domineering, he managed Ganzhou like an iron bucket, making it seem like a private kingdom. But now, Xiang Nan came with the imperial decree, which almost scared him to the urine.

   "Father, my daughter has some contacts with Ji Xiaolan, why don't I let my daughter meet him first." Su Qinglian got up and said.

   "Good, good, good." Wang Danwang nodded immediately.

  He knew he was in trouble. Since Xiang Nan brought the imperial decree, the food supervision case may not be concealed. With the money he embezzled, it would be more than enough to kill a hundred heads, so it can be said that he is dead.

   At this time, it is useless even if Su Qinglian has any friendship with Xiang Nan. After all, the imperial decree has been issued, and Ji Xiaolan still dares to resist the decree.

  But a dying person will always seize any chance of survival, no matter how small or unreliable the chance is, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he wants to try.

  Su Qinglian straightened her appearance immediately, and followed the butler to the front hall.

   Thanks to the book friend Mo Xueyiyun for the reward, thank you!
