(Thank you very much for the generosity of 'Book Friends 18672397' for another 5,000 coins and 11 monthly tickets.)

Almost overnight, the bitter wind and rain on the ground in the three counties in the north of Yongzhou turned into warm sunshine, spring was full of joy, and hopeful smiling faces returned to the faces of the people.

So, in just a few days, the victims in the tents outside the city walked slowly but steadily to their homes with their whole families, young and old. Every step they took was full of sincere joy and hope. Still full of high spirits, full of longing for the coming year and fighting against the sky, so simple.

Thousands of years ago, common people and peasant households have been so easy to be satisfied. They are hardworking, kind, and content with their duties. As long as they are not hungry, they are willing to endure any storms from the outside world.

…

The edict sent by the imperial court to Longxi County has also arrived. The person who announced the edict is a Zhongshu Sheren surnamed Zhang. He just rushed from the capital to Longxi County according to the edict. solemn.

Zhou Wen ordered people to set up an incense table and worship facing north. Wang Junlin and Zhou Wen led a group of civil and military officials from Longxi County to kneel down to receive the order. Then I heard the cadence of the declaration.

The imperial decree is very formal, and the Four or Six Parallel Poems are written with great literary grace. With a wry smile, he... can't understand such an overly formal order.

Since he didn't understand, Wang Junlin took this time to think about his next itinerary. Anyway, he had to go to the ancient tomb in Maiji Town, Qingshui County, Tianshui County. He feels that he may not be an envoy of Spring and Autumn, or even if he is an envoy of Spring and Autumn, there must be a big secret in this matter. If he doesn't figure out the hidden truth, he will feel really uneasy, and he feels that there is a pair of eyes that are always watching Stare at yourself.

There were many thoughts and confusion, just when Wang Junlin's thoughts gradually wandered into the realm of nothingness, some words of reward pulled him back.

The long and wordy imperial decree was finally read, and Zhou Wen succeeded Liu Fangyang as expected, officially became the governor of Longxi County, and was rewarded with five hundred taels of gold by the emperor, but the imperial decree did not mention Wang Junlin's award at all, just let him As Wang Jun is approaching, hurry back to Beijing and report the Yongzhou affairs to His Majesty the Emperor face to face.

In addition, Liu Fangyang and Ying Yanglang, the former prefects of Longxi County, removed Yuan Feng and sent him to prison. He was taken to the capital to be handled by Dali Temple. Needless to say, the former came from a middle-class family, while the latter was a direct descendant of the Yuan family, which was more powerful than the Li family in Longxi. Emperor Yang Jian was naturally very happy when Wang Junlin took Yuan Feng down. As for offending the Yuan family, Wang Junlin didn't take it seriously, because the Yuan family had a close relationship with the Changping king Qiu Rui whose family was ruined by him, and Qiu Ruizheng's wife was even the daughter of the Yuan family. With Feng going on, Wang Junlin and the Yuan Clan are also enemies. Instead of doing this, it is better to take the opportunity to weaken the other party's power.

As for why he didn't confer a reward, Wang Junlin was too lazy to guess what the emperor meant by this move, because his mind was all on other things.

Zhang Sheren rolled up the imperial decree and held it in front of Wang Junlin with both hands. Wang Junlin did not feel dissatisfied because he was not rewarded at all. I wish to thank God for its mighty grace.”

When everyone got up, Wang Junlin handed over the imperial decree to Zhou Wen, who couldn't hide his excitement because of his promotion. The two exchanged greetings with Zhang Sheren for a while. Zhou Wen asked someone to offer a large gift, which he accepted , then Shi Ran left and returned to the capital to return to his command.

Zhou Wen was a little embarrassed facing Wang Junlin, and wanted to say something, Wang Junlin congratulated casually, then turned and left. Today is the day agreed to send 200,000 taels of silver and Chen Danying from the Li family in Zhonglongxi.

It's just that 200,000 taels of silver is quite a lot, Wang Junlin will naturally not let the Li family send it over in a grandiose manner, but arranges for another person to hand it over to the Li family in a caravan business model.

…

…

In the posthouse of Longxi County, Wang Junlin was arranging follow-up matters for Shen Guang and Xu Jingzong, when suddenly a soldier came to report: "Report to Lord Hou, there is a girl outside the door begging to see you."

Wang Junlin felt excited, so he walked out. Shen Guang knew the relationship between Wang Junlin and Chen Danying, so he smiled and followed. Xu Jingzong had heard that there was such a woman in his mastermind's heart these days. Moreover, he also knew that this woman was once controlled by the Li family in Longxi, so he also guessed that the woman named Chen Danying must be the one who came, so she also followed with a curious look on her face.

A young woman stood outside the gate of the post house. The three of them came out in a file. Wang Junlin glanced at the woman and quickly scanned all the places in front of the door. Seeing that Chen Danying did not appear, his expression sank. When Guang saw the woman's expression startled, his eyes spit fire.

This woman is none other than Su Meier. At this time she is wearing a set of unmarried clothes of an ordinary woman, and the Jingchai skirt cloth still makes her look beautiful and refined, her eyes are as clear as ice springs, she looks extremely pure, horizontal Looking vertically, she doesn't look like a witch with a strange charm.

Su Meier stood about three feet outside the door, glanced at the three of them, and ignored Xu Jingzong, who was the most handsome, and then took a deep look at Wang Junlin, seeing the latter with a livid face. When he asked a question, he quickly grinned and said, "Brother-in-law, don't be angry, it looks so scary. The master let the senior sister go, but the senior sister didn't want to come to see you, so she went to Yuquan Temple in Tianshui City to be a Taoist nun alone. I came here to report to you, and you scare people."

Wang Junlin was stunned for a moment, remembering that Chen Danying left without saying goodbye more than half a year ago, he was extremely angry. He still hadn't figured out why Chen Danying left without saying goodbye, and now why he was hiding from him and not saying anything. What kind of Taoist nun?

"Su Meier, do you know why your senior sister is avoiding me? And why did you become a nun?" Wang Junlin asked in a deep voice.

Su Meier rolled her eyes at Wang Junlin, blushes appeared on her beautiful little face, and she said, "Brother-in-law, she is still a little girl, if you ask him about such things, how can he know?"

Wang Junlin smiled wryly, glared at Su Meier, turned to Shen Guang and Xu Jingzong and said, "I'm going to Tianshui County alone now, and you will also go to Tianshui County afterward. Jizhen Feihuzhuang is waiting for me."

Xu Jingzong's face changed slightly, and he said anxiously: "Master Hou, bring five hundred soldiers with you! Just in case of accidents."

"No, I'm riding a blood-maned horse, and no one can keep up." After finishing speaking, Wang Junlin let out a soft whistle, and the blood-maned horse ran out from the post house upon hearing the sound. Neighing happily, one person and one horse sped away at a fast speed, but they didn't hit any pedestrians on the road, and disappeared on the street in a blink of an eye.
