At the end of the ceremony, Zhao Shouzheng respectfully invited Hai Zhongcheng, Wu Guanguan and Cai Zhifu, as well as all the adults to board the painting boat and have a luncheon on Chenghu Lake.

Hai Rui naturally won't participate, and others can't wait for him not to participate, otherwise he will guard a Hades, and no matter how good the dishes are, they will taste the same as chewing wax.

Zhao Hao set up a banquet to entertain Hai Rui on a white canopy boat, only Secretary Ma served from the side, and even Jin Xuezeng drove the painting boat.

According to the provisions of the "Governor's Treaty", there are only two meat, two vegetables and one soup on the table, and a bowl of braised duck noodles in white sauce for one person.

Hai Rui really ate very happily, and after eating a bowl of noodles, he asked Ma Xianglan to add another bowl.

Zhao Hao was affected by motion sickness earlier, and his appetite was lacking, and he didn't even finish half a bowl.

"Don't waste it." Seeing that he was about to put the chopsticks, Hai Rui glared and said, "A porridge and a meal are not easy to come by." ”

"Heh......" Zhao Hao had no choice but to bow his head and eat hard, and said in his heart that next time, don't think about coming to me to improve your life.

Hai Rui took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and suddenly asked, "You just said that Lin Zhongcheng woke up?" ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hao replied vaguely and lowered his head to eat noodles.

"Have you reported to the court?" Hai Rui asked again.

"Hmm~~" Zhao Hao shook his head and continued to eat noodles.

"Why don't you report it?" Hai Rui said with an apologetic look on his face: "Is it because of my words?" ”

"Lin Zhongcheng is still in the recovery period, and it is not good to see people at this time." Zhao Hao barely finished eating the noodles, took the handkerchief handed by Ma Xianglan and wiped the corners of his mouth, took another sip of tea and cleared his mouth:

"Hai Gong doesn't have to visit him, this is also what Lin Zhongcheng meant."

"Alas, I'm ashamed of Ruoyu." Hai Rui said with a rare tangle. His new policy has just been announced, and it is about to be implemented government by government. Seeing Lin Run at this time will make things complicated.

As long as the affairs of the Ming Dynasty become complicated, they will be delayed, and then they will end without a problem......

"Lin Zhongcheng also asked me to bring a message to Haigong," Zhao Hao smiled lightly: "Changyi is favored by the country, and his heart is dissected to reward his confidant." ”

"Strong heart cuts out the reward confidant......" Hai Rui's eyes turned red, and he was deeply ashamed: "It was I who underestimated Lin Zhongcheng, and he is a peerless national warrior who will naturally focus on the overall situation at all times." ”

"Hmm." Zhao Hao nodded, and said with a teasing smile: "I brought the words, Haigong can go to Songjiang with confidence now, right?" ”

"Haha, you kid, dare to make fun of the old man." Hai Rui pointed at him and said, "Let's go." ”

"Then I wish Zhongcheng a victory!"

"No problem."

~~

The governor's boat went down the river and arrived at the official wharf of Matsue Fucheng early the next morning.

Zhen Zhenji, Zheng Yue and other officials had been waiting at the dock for a long time, and welcomed Zhongcheng and his party into the governor's line.

In the signing room where Lin Zhongcheng had fought, the prefect reported to Hai Rui that the retreat garden was besieged.

"Since the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the retreat garden has been surrounded for four days." Zhen Zhenji peeked at Hai Rui's expression, but unfortunately he couldn't see any expression. I had to try not to report with emotion:

"The day before yesterday, Xia Guan also went to mediate with Zheng Zhixian once, but Xu Ge didn't let go, and it didn't have any effect." Baiyue

Hai Rui pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "After all, Xu Ge Lao is the Yuanfu of the two dynasties, even if the people have any grievances, they can't go around and make trouble all day long, what kind of system is it?" ”

After a pause, he ordered the matter of Niu to say: "You will post a notice now, and you will start announcing it tomorrow." If the people have any grievances, they can come to me to complain, but they are not allowed to besiege the houses. ”

"Yes, the next official will do it." Niu Mo was about to retreat.

"Cow-sama, slow down." Zhen Zhenji stopped Niu and reported to Hai Ruiyu in a low voice:

"Zhongcheng, be cautious when you make a notice in Songjiang City."

"Are you going to teach me how to do things?" Hai Rui glanced at him.

"Don't dare. Xia Guan just reminded Zhongcheng to beware of Diao Min! Zhen Zhenji was frightened, and hurriedly explained: "Those who surrounded the retreat garden were either small landlords who had surrendered to the Xu family before; Either they sold the land fake pawn to the wealthy family of Xu Jie; Either a servant of the Xu family; Either it is a relative of the Xu family. In short, they are all traitors who are trying to escape from servitude and take refuge in the name of Xu Ge, but they are not poor people, and there are not many grievances to speak of. ”

"The prefect knows very well." Hai Rui looked at him with a smile and said, "Then why do you refuse to investigate?" Don't you know that it's illegal to donate? ”

"Why did Zhongcheng ask knowingly? First, their contract is solid, if you want me, there is no problem with the paperwork alone. Second, in the past, Xu Ge Lao was still in power...... "Zhen Zhenji was about to cry when he was scolded."

"Hehe, the prefect of the heart is pushing it clean." Hai Rui sneered and said, "But your matter can be discussed later, and you can finish the business first." ”

Saying that, he glanced at Niu Yan and said, "What are you doing in a daze?" Let it go. ”

"Yes, Zhongcheng." The cow hurriedly walked out.

The corners of the prefect's mouth twitched, and his feelings were in vain.

"Okay, this hospital has received your kindness." Hai Rui softened his tone a little and said, "Thank you for the reminder." ”

"The lower officials are also worried that too many complaints from the people will damage Zhongcheng's official reputation and teach the truth." Zhen Zhenji reminded vaguely. He still wanted to persuade Hai Rui to draw a clear line with those Diao people.

Hai Rui knew that he was referring to the one in the Retreat Garden. couldn't help laughing and said: "Yes, this court does not sympathize with those Diao people who took the initiative to surrender to the front, found that it was not cost-effective after the enslavement reform, and wanted to regret it." ”

As he spoke, he turned his words and said non-negotiably: "But I still want to let the Xu family retreat!" ”

"Zhongcheng, why is this?" Zhen Zhenji asked puzzled.

"Because whether it is a sacrifice, a trick, a sprinkling or a flower, in the end, the interests are damaged by those honest people who do their duty, as well as the court." Hai Rui said lightly: "Therefore, the land must be returned to its owner, so that the tax can be reasonable and not hurt the people." Whether it is a whipping law or a law for the government and the people, it will not become an evil law. ”

"It's just that in this way, Zhongcheng is afraid that he will teach the truth." In addition to his admiration, he felt that Hai Gong was a little reckless.

"Perhaps." Hai Rui smiled noncommittally, everyone is not familiar yet, and they can dig out their hearts.

~~

As soon as Haigong's notice was released, those guys who were gathered outside the retreat garden dispersed in twos and threes, and hurried home to write a complaint to prepare a complaint.

In the afternoon of the same day, Hai Rui gathered a group of subordinate officials and was about to arrange the specific arrangements for tomorrow's announcement, but Hai An walked in and whispered a few words in his ear.

Hai Rui nodded slightly, and said to all the subordinate officials: "Let's get here first." ”

"Congratulations to Zhongcheng." Niu Yanshi and others hurriedly got up to send each other.

Hai Rui walked out of the signing room, walked quickly to the back door of Xingyuan, and saw an inconspicuous sedan chair, which had fallen in the courtyard.

He hurriedly stepped forward, personally opened the sedan curtain, and then shook it to the end and said, "The younger generation greets Cunzhai Gong." ”

ps. I still owe a change and write it again tomorrow.,Ask for a monthly pass.。
