Zheng Caiyun patted Zhang Yunqing's hand: "Don't worry, that little bitch will definitely not be able to please you."

After traveling on the water for half a month, the boat finally landed in Huizhou.

With Shuyan's support, Ji Ying tremblingly stepped onto the river bank.

After floating on the water for so long and standing on solid ground, Ji Ying's heart finally fell to the ground.

Yang Jin hugged Lele, Liu Zhanxiu hugged Beibei and led a group of people onto the shore.

This is the pier, which should have been bustling, but it can only be said that it is not deserted in the past.The people who are busy at the pier are not as energetic as other places, and everyone has a heavy face on their faces.

He was about to go to Xunzhifu's mansion, but he didn't expect the sound of beating gongs and drums to come here.

When the group of people got closer, they realized that the leader was wearing the prefect's court uniform.Liu Zhanxiu knew in his heart that this person might be Peng Can, the current prefect of Huizhou.

Peng Canchang was short and fat, and he couldn't help kicking after walking a few steps, but now he couldn't care less about relaxing, his face was full of smiles, and he came to Liu Zhanxiu with bright eyes.

"But the new magistrate Liu Tanhua?"

Liu Zhanxiu replied: "It's my servant, Mr. Peng."

Peng Can quickly waved his hand: "Lord Liu, please don't call him that. Wouldn't it mean that you will be a low-ranking official? After handing in the official seal, you will be the magistrate of Huizhou. Your subordinate is still the magistrate of Li County. The people of Huizhou are looking forward to your lord day and night. Your Excellency must have been exhausted after a long journey, your Excellency’s lodging place has been arranged, please rest for a while, and you will be released from office later to cleanse your Excellency.”

Talking to the servants to move things, he himself opened the sedan chair curtain for Liu Zhanxiu graciously. Yang Jin and Liu Zhanxiu looked at each other and got on the sedan chair calmly.

Before getting off the boat, Zhang Muqing put on a mask, and Cao Qing and the others pretended to be Liu Zhanxiu's followers and walked in the team.

The place where I stayed was right next to the prefect's mansion. It was an exquisite Jiangnan courtyard, but it was also very elegant.

Everyone entered the house. After all, Jiying was old and exhausted. After tidying up a little, she took Beibei and Lele to rest.

The rest sat in a group around the table.

Cao Qing was the first to speak out: "What's the matter with Peng Can? Brother Liu is here, and his magistrate has already done his job. Logically speaking, his attitude should not be so good."

This is where Yang Jin can't figure it out. He's going to go back to be the magistrate soon. This person is still cheerful, he must be out of his mind.

Holding the white flute in his hand, Zhang Muqing smiled lightly: "That's because you don't know Huizhou and Peng Can."

The sound enters the clear spring and exits the valley, refreshing the heart and spleen.

Yang Jin clearly felt the free and easy spirit brought out by Zhang Muqing.Zhang Muqing, who was sitting at the table at the moment, was no longer the person who said on the boat that he was unlovable. Even wearing an ordinary human skin mask, everyone felt that the room was shining because of Zhang Muqing.

"How to say?"

Cao Qing knew how powerful Zhang Muqing was, so he hurriedly asked.

"Huizhou is in the south of the Dayu Dynasty, at the lower reaches of the Dayu River that runs through the Dayu Dynasty. It turns out that this place is flat, with fertile fields and fields, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is also located by the river, and the water transportation is also developed. It is a famous land of fish and rice in the Dayu Dynasty. Ten years ago, The Dayu Dynasty had a once-in-a-century flood. Because of the terrain, Huizhou was almost half submerged by the overflowing water of the Dayu River. The plague is rampant here."

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect such a situation here.

Yang Jin understood a little better. The Dayu River was probably just like the Yellow River. Apart from natural disasters, the frequent floods in Huizhou might have a lot to do with the deposition of sediment at the bottom of the Dayu River and the elevation of the river bed.

"What about Peng Can, what kind of background does he have?"

Zhang Muqing took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "Peng Can was originally from Li County, and his magistrate was bought with money, and even the annual performance appraisal was bribed by the officials, but since last year, Peng Can has not Paying the tribute again annoyed the people above him, and it happened that the Huizhou magistrate was beheaded for embezzling disaster relief money, so he was stuffed here."

"Why did he offend the people above and give him a promotion?"

This sentence was asked by Luo Yun, who had been silent all along.

Zhang Muqing continued to speak softly: "The environment here is harsh. Several magistrates who came earlier were infected with the plague, and those who came later wanted to resign, which annoyed the late emperor, and directly issued an order that all officials in Huizhou cannot resign without an order. Officials, offenders will be executed immediately. This place, if it goes on for a long time, no one can guarantee that he will not be plagued by the plague, and he cannot resign. Anyway, he is dead, so most Huizhou prefects choose corruption. Therefore, officials in Huizhou rarely end well Yes. Then Peng Can probably wanted to get rid of this place a long time ago, and Liu Tanhua came here just to free him, so how could he not be happy?"

After hearing Zhang Muqing's words, everyone had a clearer understanding of the situation in Huizhou.Liu Zhanxiu regretted it in his heart. He knew that even if Brother Jin disagreed, he shouldn't have brought him and the child here.

Yang Jin glanced at Liu Zhanxiu's frowning eyebrows, and knew what he was thinking, pinched him, and mouthed, "Don't try to get rid of me"

Cao Qing already knew that Zhang Muqing was powerful, but he didn't expect that he could understand the affairs of Dayu Dynasty so clearly.

I couldn't help being curious, "How do you know Peng Can so clearly?"

Zhang Muqing showed a smile that blinded everyone's eyes: "There is nothing about the affairs of the Dayu Dynasty that I don't know about."

Although these words are extremely arrogant, everyone knows that the person in front of them is not exaggerating. Because of this, Zhang Muqing's ability is also terrifying.

If there is such a person to help, there is no need to worry about the failure of the big event. On the contrary, if there is such an enemy, I am afraid that I will have to sleep every night.

Yang Jin felt fortunate to have saved this person. Having such a talent would definitely be of great help to Liu Zhanxiu.

In the evening, Peng Can personally invited Liu Zhanxiu and the others to a banquet. Due to the harsh environment in Huizhou, his husband and children did not follow him to Huizhou.

Peng Can didn't know that Yang Jin was Liu Zhanxiu's husband. Seeing Liu Zhanxiu with Yang Jin, he showed Liu Zhanxiu an expression that everyone understood.He invited Liu Zhanxiu to the upper seat, clapped his hands, and several boys in tulle came in gracefully.

As soon as he entered the hall, the other officials sitting in the two rows stared straight at him. This is the young buddy that Peng Can specially picked up from the most famous Wenxiang Garden in Huizhou. Although Liu Zhanxiu jumped into the fire pit, But for the sake of his coming to relieve me and being my boss, I still spent some effort to please him.

Most of the officials in Huizhou, big and small, live a life of being drunk now and now. Looking at the young brothers who are as beautiful as flowers and jade, some of them are slightly drunk, they have long forgotten their manners, and they hugged the little brothers and laughed.

Yang Jin got angry when he saw it, and pinched Liu Zhanxiu's waist fiercely, Liu Zhanxiu hissed in pain, he didn't look at those vulgar fans at all, okay, but seeing Yang Jin's jealous look, Liu Zhanxiu still felt that It's worth the pinch.

He straightened his face, and said in a cold voice: "Master Peng, although Liu has just arrived, he also knows the severe situation in Huizhou. Let's see if the adults below are too disrespectful!" "

Peng Can was watching happily, but Liu Zhanxiu did not expect that he would say so. After carefully watching Liu Zhanxiu's expression does not seem to be fake, he realized that he was flattering the horse's hoof.

After waving a hand to let a few young men go down, the sound of silk and bamboo stopped, and the hall that was still a little bit rotten just now fell silent.A few drunken officials couldn't figure out what was going on, and murmured to drink again.

One moment Liu Zhanxiu was still drinking with a calm expression, but the next moment he suddenly dropped his glass.After the sound of the glass breaking, the room was filled with silence.

All the officials looked at him with surprise.

"Everyone, I know that our situation is not so optimistic, but this is not the reason for us to give up on ourselves. Look at the disaster victims outside, look at the people who are suffering from illness, as the parents of the people, what face do we have?" Sit here and enjoy it all."

The officials below, large and small, looked at Liu Zhanxiu and his mind was in a mess. Is this person okay? Being an official in Huizhou will be a death sooner or later. If you can escape this year, you will not escape next year. to actually do something.At first he looked quite calm, but he didn't expect to be an ignorant person.

Liu Zhanxiu slowed down the coldness in his voice: "Everyone, Huizhou used to be the granary of the Dayu Dynasty, but it became what it is now because of repeated floods. I know that you were originally full of ambitions. Is it because you have encountered some problems now? Difficulties, are we going to give up? In fact, why don't we think about it from another angle, opportunities are always hidden in crises, if we can make Huizhou no longer full of devastation, and restore the prosperity of the past, I think not only the people of Huizhou, but the whole The people of the Dayu Dynasty will thank you, and your legacy will be recorded in the history books. Anyway, we have reached this point, so why not work hard to make Huizhou a land of plenty for the Dayu Dynasty again!"

Liu Zhanxiu's voice was not high-pitched, even a little deep, but he somehow wanted people to believe it.The officials who have long been numb in their hearts will inevitably have ripples in their hearts when they hear these words.

Looking at the expressions of the officials below, Liu Zhanxiu knew that today's goal had been achieved.

Liu Zhanxiu stood up abruptly, pulled Yang Jin away without a cloud, leaving a group of officials looking at each other in blank dismay.What does this mean? Could it be that the new magistrate really wants to do something drastic?

"Hmph, yellow-mouthed kid, he's full of nonsense, I'm afraid he won't say that after staying with him for a while."

A young county magistrate next to him continued: "I think what he said is so resolute, I guess it's not just empty words."

"What do you know, just wait and see, he can dance around for a month at most, and he won't be the same as us in the future."

The author has something to say: The stupid author made a mistake about the relationship between the second prince and Zhang Shiyi, and only revised it now. Forgive my blind relationship.
