Friends are always teasing me [Transmigration Book]

After drinking last night, Mo Liang went to the mass grave to find two dead bodies that were about the same size as Chao Dynasty and Ma Han. Shuntian Mansion is on a business trip.

In this way, Lu Fuyin only said that these two people were dead, and they had paid the emperor's job, so naturally they would no longer issue arrest warrants to arrest them.

Before leaving, Mo Liang told the two of them: "But this is just a bad policy. Before this case is settled, you two must remember not to show off outside. I have booked the guest room you live in, and the shopkeeper and the waiter have also been booked." I will buy you, I will not betray you, you can rest assured to stay here, just wait for our good news. Remember, don't interact with other guests staying in the hotel. "

Wang Chao and Ma Han cupped their hands together and said, "Brother Mo, don't worry. There is no way to repay your kindness!"

Mo Liang had a smile on his face, but he was thinking in his heart, we will work together in the future, and it is inevitable that you will repay them one by one.

Bao Longtu always watched it and did not express his opinion.Riding his horse all the way, Mo Liang finally couldn't help but said: "I thought Mr. Bao would be very rigid, and he would accuse me of disturbing the dead!"

Wei Lan, who rode alongside the horse, tugged at his sleeves, and scolded him, "Liangzi, don't be rude to your lord."

Bao Longtu smiled lightly, and said: "It's okay. When I was appointed as Yangzhou Water Transport Envoy, it was very cheap to do things. If you just blindly stick to the old-fashioned and stick to the rules, sometimes not only you can't get things done, but you will make things wrong."

Mo Liang said: "My lord is my lord! If Mr. Fu Yin was like you, there wouldn't be so many unjust cases."

This was a bit exaggerated, Wei Lan hastily pulled his sleeve, "Mo Liang!"

Bao Longtu also said: "You can't talk nonsense. Since the two of you are arrested by Shuntian Prefecture, you only need to handle the case according to the law. It is not wise to talk about Shangfeng."

Mo Liang touched his head and said with a sneer: "What Master Bao said is true."

They walked all the way to the city gate, and from a distance, they saw a row of imperial guards standing outside the city gate on horseback.Mo Liang and Wei Lan looked at each other, feeling strange in their hearts.

When they rode their horses closer, one person headed by the forbidden army rode up to meet him, bowed his hands to Bao Longtu, and said respectfully: "This is Mr. Bao Longtu, Yangzhou Water Transport Envoy?"

Bao Longtu said: "Exactly."

The imperial army said: "Master Bao, the humble officials have been waiting for you here for a long time. The humble officials are ordered by the emperor to welcome Lord Bao into the palace."

Mo Liang couldn't help but think, what a big battle.If it wasn't for the emperor's attention, how could he order the imperial city's imperial army to go out of the city to welcome a fifth-rank official?

Bao Longtu said: "Please go up to the emperor and say that I will see you immediately after I change clothes in the hotel."

The imperial guard said: "Yes. The humble post will reply to the emperor immediately. Mr. Bao, the emperor has been waiting for you, you..."

Bao Longtu said: "Don't worry, general, I will arrive as soon as possible."

The imperial guard bowed to Bao Longtu, and then rode back to the palace with his subordinates and others to deliver the order.

After Bao Longtu and Mo Liang bid farewell, they immediately went to the residence, changed into their official uniforms and immediately entered the palace.

Qiu Muheng has been waiting for him in the study room for a long time.Hearing the report from the eunuch, he immediately announced Bao Longtu to come in, turned away all the eunuchs and maids, and walked out of the dragon case. Before Bao Longtu knelt down to pay his respects, he held his arm and said happily, "It's good that you are back. .”

Seeing that the emperor still treats him as intimately as he was when he was a child, Bao Longtu couldn't help but feel happy, but after all, the emperor is the emperor, and the minister is the minister, he can't forget his identity.Even if the emperor allowed him not to give a big gift, the words of this holy man still had to be spoken.

"Bao Longtu, the minister of water transportation in Yangzhou, kowtowed to the emperor. Long live my emperor..."

"Hey." Qiu Muheng interrupted him with a smile, "There are no outsiders here. Didn't I tell you that you don't have to be cautious when it's just the two of us. Why did you forget about it after staying in Yangzhou for three years?"

Bao Longtu smiled slightly.

Qiu Muheng held his hand tightly and said in a trembling voice, "These three years... are you okay?"

Bao Longtu said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your comfort, I'm fine."

Qiu Muheng stared at him and said, "You're here again."

Bao Longtu had no choice but to call him by his name with a smile: "Mu Heng." Seeing that the emperor finally smiled, he took his hand back, held it tightly, and said with a sob, "I haven't seen you for three years...I miss you very much. "

Qiu Muheng said: "This sentence is quite pleasant!"

He pulled Bao Longtu into the inner study, and sat down on the couch at both ends.There are all kinds of snacks on the small table, Bao Longtu's favorite food when he was a child.

Qiu Muheng held a piece with a smile, handed it to Bao Longtu, and said with a smile, "Here, this is your favorite sweet-scented osmanthus cake."

Presumably he ordered the Imperial Dining Room to prepare it immediately after he heard the report of his return journey from the Ministry of Officials.

The emperor treats him like a brother.Bao Longtu felt sour in his heart, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Qiu Muheng wiped away his tears with his sleeve, and said with a smile, "Why do you cry more and more as you get older?"

Bao Longtu said: "You still accuse me... In fact, you haven't been holding back your tears all the time."

After hearing this, Qiu Muheng smiled again, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "You and I reunited after a long absence, so we should laugh. Crying...it's only for the youngest daughter."

Bao Longtu wiped away his tears and whispered, "You are always right."

How could these words escape Qiu Muheng's ears?He smiled comfortably, as if he had returned to the time when the two lived and ate together when they were young.

Recalling the past, his smile gradually faded, and he couldn't help sighing: "At the beginning, I should have tried my best to let you work in Beijing. In the past three years, I haven't even had anyone who is close to me. Quite bent."

Bao Longtu smiled slightly and said: "When I went to Yangzhou to take up the post, I also felt very reluctant to part with you. But water transportation is a major national event, and it is worthwhile to think that I can share your worries as soon as you become an official."

Qiu Muheng said: "I have read the papers submitted by the Ministry of Industry. In the past three years, you have worked hard to manage the rivers and dunes, led the small households to dredge the rivers, cleared the hidden reefs, revitalized the water transportation, and the canals were smooth. You have contributed a lot to the great trouble."

Bao Longtu said indifferently: "Eat the king's salary, and take care of the king's worries. Your Majesty, this is what I should do."

Qiu Muheng said: "The Ministry of Industry is still playing, and you have wiped out the salt owls on both sides of Hangou? Tell me about the situation at that time."

It turned out that the river course was blocked, which affected the passage of imperial salt ships, resulting in a shortage of salt in towns and counties on both sides of the strait.The local salt lords took the opportunity to sit on the ground and raise prices, selling private salt to the common people at high prices.

After repeated investigations by Bao Longtu, it turned out that the impediment of water transportation and the blockage of the river course were the actions of these salt lords behind the scenes, in order to prevent the common people from buying cheap salt from the imperial court and seek huge profits.

After Bao Longtu found out, he immediately informed the governor of Yangzhou, and cooperated with the garrison to exterminate the gang of salt lords.

When Qiu Muheng heard him talk about the wonderful things, he applauded, but at the same time wished that he had to go there in person to catch these thieves and have a good time.When he heard that Bao Longtu was caught by Yan Xiao and his life was in danger, his face changed suddenly. Bao Longtu smiled and comforted him, and then told the generals to rescue him quickly, Qiu Muheng felt relieved.

I heard Qiu Muheng sigh and say: "You don't have anyone available around you, but you can still plan meticulously and solve the case quickly in less than half a month. Let's look at Shuntian Mansion..."

Bao Longtu was startled, and said, "Shuntian Mansion?"

Qiu Muheng said: "It's a pity that the governor of Shuntian Prefecture is incompetent and incompetent, and the police under his command are full of money! It's really unreasonable that it took nearly a year to track down a small thief and solve the case! What's worse, they The investigation is so perfunctory, but it is very diligent when seeking personal gain."

"emperor?"

Qiu Muheng took a memorial from the table, handed it to him, and said, "You can read it yourself."

This memorial was written by Li Yanzhao, and it described in detail how Xue Wuming smashed the gang of arresters in Shuntian Mansion, the government servants went fishing to enforce the law, and the innocent merchants of fish and meat.

After browsing through it carefully, Bao Longtu put the memorial away, and took out the petition from Dynasty and the others, "Your Majesty, on the way back to Beijing, I met people who filed petitions."

"Oh?" Qiu Muheng took the pleading paper, browsed through it, and slapped the table heavily. Longyan said angrily, "This is unreasonable! Is this how Lu Deyou manages the security of the capital for me!"

Bao Longtu said: "The emperor calm down."

Qiu Muheng said: "This kind of mediocrity, you don't need to use it! I will immediately decree that Lu Deyou will be dismissed from the post of Governor of Shuntian Mansion, and you will take over."

Bao Longtu was startled, and said: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid you won't be able to convince the public if you make a hasty decree."

Qiu Muheng said: "Who dares to refuse? Lu Deyou is so incompetent, why keep him? Do you want me, Dawei, to support these idiots?"

Bao Longtu said: "Your Majesty, Lu Deyou has indeed lost His Majesty's great trust. It is reasonable and reasonable for His Majesty to send down Tianwei to dismiss him as an official. However, if the Emperor orders his ministers to take over, I am afraid that the officials in Beijing will not accept it."

Qiu Muheng's expression was slightly flat, and he sighed: "You are too cautious. Based on your achievements in Yangzhou, what can I say when I promote you to the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty? Are you afraid that Zhang Boyong will be dissatisfied with my promotion?" ?”

Bao Longtu said: "You can't hide anything from the emperor. Now the barbarian countries in the northwest are still eyeing the sky. Zhang Boyong is ordered to garrison the border. If the emperor removes all his wings in the capital too quickly, he may force the old fox Allied with the barbarians to lead a rebellion."

Qiu Muheng said: "I've thought about this too. So I called you back to Beijing, just to let you take over the position of Governor of Shuntian Fu. Soon the Diyue envoys will come to Beijing. I know you are familiar with the Western Regions." Eight languages, so I plan to order you to be the welcoming envoy. If the peace talks become a western frontier, there will be no more wars from now on, and you have made a great contribution, and I will see who dares to disagree when you take over as the governor of Shuntian Mansion."

Bao Longtu smiled wryly and said: "Your Majesty, if I serve as the welcoming envoy just like me, I'm afraid... I'm afraid it's to embarrass the Heavenly Dynasty."

Qiu Muheng said: "Dirty words!"

Bao Longtu said: "Your Majesty, there are quite a few officials of the fourth rank and above in the court who are proficient in Di Yueyu, how about..."

Qiu Muheng waved his sleeves and said, "Needless to say, I've made up my mind." He suddenly smiled, "Do you think those barbarians are all extremely handsome? I heard General Zhenyuan describe their appearance, and they all look like Huge back, blond hair, blue eyes, white face and red eyebrows, they look so strange. When the frontier soldiers saw them for the first time, they thought they were monsters from somewhere, haha."

He stood up, suddenly lifted Bao Longtu's chin, and said, "My Longtu's skin is just a little darker than ordinary people, like those blacksmiths who have been working on charcoal stoves for many years, how is it strange? And these years you The more you grow up, the more handsome you are, how can you lose your face?"

"emperor……"

"If you really care, then I will reward you with some pearls. You can grind them into powder and apply them on your face." Qiu Muheng blinked.

"Your Majesty, don't make fun of me."

"Ha ha ha ha."

At this time, the eunuch outside the door came to report: "Long live Qizuo, Mr. Yin Lu of Shuntian Mansion reports to you, saying that the business assigned by the emperor has been completed."

"Huh, this guy." He said loudly to the outside, "Submit it!"

Bao Longtu got up and went to the door, took the memorial from the little eunuch, closed the door, and handed it to Qiu Muheng.

He quickly passed by, and said: "Hmph, Lu Deyou was ineffective in handling things, but this time he was quick. It's just that if what you said in the complaint just now is true, isn't the witness already killed?"

Bao Longtu said: "The emperor is relieved, they are still alive." So he focused on the encounter with Mo Liang and the others, but did not mention the fact that Mo Liang and the others deliberately induced the dynasty and Ma Han to assassinate.

Qiu Muheng said: "The descendants of those two knights actually entered the Shuntian Mansion and even served as headhunters?"

"Yes."

"Haha! This is really..."

"Your Majesty, they definitely didn't intend to deceive the Emperor, but to keep the dynasty, Ma Han had to make such a bad move. I hope that the Emperor will not blame him."

"I know. I won't blame them. It's better to say that they are very courageous and know how to act cheaply in a critical moment. In order to welcome the Di Yue mission, I have ordered the three justices to suspend the execution of the death row criminals, so this Sun Li is fine for the time being. .His case will be investigated when you become the governor of Shuntian Prefecture in the future."

"Yes."

"As for Mo Liang and Wei Lan... During the arrival of the envoys, I will order the Shuntian Mansion to ensure the security of the capital. At that time, you can send all the arresters and arresters under the government. If these two people are malleable talents, they can also help You are a helping hand. I will definitely use it again in the future."
