    The breeze is caressing the lotus pond, and the leaves are rustling. Sitting in the pavilion with a glass of sake is one of the great enjoyments of life.  If you can take some time off from your busy schedule, you will be an elegant person.  However, Guan Yingzhen didn't look elegant at all at this time. His body was covered with dust, there was a straw on his head, and the black gauze was casually thrown on the stone bench aside.  Without looking at the surrounding scenery at all, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, reached out and picked up a big bone in the casserole, and gnawed it with both hands.  "Sir, you'd better drink some porridge now! You haven't eaten well in a few days, and eating such greasy food will ruin your stomach." An old butler on one side stood carefully next to Guan Yingzhen, with a smile on his face.  With a touch of worry, he reminded me from time to time.  Since he didn't have time to pay attention to the old man, Guan Yingzhen picked up the wine glass and drank the wine in it. He looked at the big bones in the casserole and said with a smile: "I haven't eaten like this in many years, but this is still the most enjoyable thing!"  The old housekeeper shook his head helplessly. He knew his master's temper. When he saw a captain of the Jinyi Guard coming over, he hurriedly went up to meet him and said with a sullen face: "What's the matter? Your Excellency has just come back. Is there anything you need to do?"  Come here at this time!" "The seventh-rank official in front of the prime minister, Guan Yingzhen's steward, is also the same. The captain clasped his fists and said: "Steward, there is someone outside who wants to see you, sir. He is from the capital!"  You have just come back, sir. You don¡¯t have time to see guests now. Why don¡¯t you go and say no?¡± The butler¡¯s face suddenly became unhappy. Who has such a good nose?  However, the captain did not leave. He came to the housekeeper's side, lowered his voice and said a few words in the housekeeper's ear, and then stood back seriously.  "Really?" A flash of astonishment flashed across the steward's face, but he quickly came to his senses and pulled the captain and said seriously.  The captain nodded seriously and said in a deep voice: "How dare I talk nonsense about this kind of thing? I don't have the guts." The housekeeper also nodded seriously.  Pulling the captain's sleeve, he lowered his voice and said: "Go and take the people to the inner hall, and hide some people along the way so that no one finds them. I'm going to report to you now. Go quickly!" The captain nodded.  After turning around and leaving, the housekeeper did not dare to delay at all and strode towards the pavilion.  "What's the matter?" He put down the wine glass in his hand.  Taking the silk scarf handed over by the housekeeper and gently wiping his mouth, Guan Yingzhen turned his head and looked at the housekeeper and asked with a frown.  "My lord, there is someone outside asking to see you, and they are from the capital." The housekeeper did not dare to hide anything.  He spoke quickly.  He nodded. He was from the capital. He knew many people in the capital, so only a ghost would know who he was.  After thinking for a while, Guan Yingzhen asked again: "Do you have a greeting card?" "My lord, no, but the guards standing guard recognized that there were palace guards inside." The housekeeper said nothing more.  There are some things he shouldn't say.  The official responded with a slightly moved expression. It was not easy to involve someone from the palace. He glanced at the butler and said, "Where is the person?" "It has been arranged to go to the inner hall!" the butler said.  "Okay, I'll go over and take a look. It looks like my memorial has arrived in the capital." Standing up with a smile, Guan Yingzhen walked towards the back.  "Sir, would you like to change your clothes?" The housekeeper hesitated for a moment.  Still spoke.  "No need, I have to go out soon!" Guan Yingzhen waved his hand and strode forward without looking back.  In the inner hall of the imperial envoy's residence, Zhou Jiamo, dressed as a rich man, sat there quietly, picked up the teacup and took a sip.  Hearing footsteps outside.  Zhou Jiamo had a smile on his face.  "It turns out to be Mr. Zhou. I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to be here!" Guan Yingzhen saw Zhou Jiamo when he walked in. A look of astonishment flashed across his face, but he quickly strode forward.  He said with a smile.  "My lord, you are working very hard! The relief work is very heavy, and I still come here to bother you. Don't blame me, lord!" Zhou Jiamo looked up with a smile and looked at Guan Yingzhen with emotion on his face, and said.  Signaling Zhou Jiamo to sit down, the official responded quickly and said: "What are you talking about, sir? However, your Excellency came at the right time. Earlier or later, you would not be able to see the official. To be honest with you, the disaster relief is indeed very detailed."  The matter is also related to the national economy and the people's livelihood. I am honored by the emperor's respect and dare not slack off at all!" "I know that Mr. Guan is busy, so I will not go around in circles. This time I came here just for the disaster relief case in Yangzhou.  Memorial, but many things are still unclear. I hope the official will give you some advice." Zhou Jiamo nodded in agreement and explained his purpose without any nonsense.  Guan Yingzhen's eyes flashed with evil spirit, and he calmed himself down.With such emotion, he slowly told what happened.  He sighed helplessly and said: "These are what I have seen since I came to Yangzhou. As for other things, it is up to Mr. Zhou to check. This must be the purpose of the emperor asking Mr. Zhou to come to Jiangnan!" "Yes!  There is no need to hide this matter from Mr. Guan, the emperor is very angry! I don¡¯t know what Mr. Guan thinks of my student? We have a good personal relationship. If you have anything to say, it doesn¡¯t matter!" Zhou Jiamo nodded, with a thought in his mind.  After about a while, he changed the topic.  "When I first arrived in Yangzhou, I was indeed a little angry, and the book was in a hurry, so my evaluation of Zhang Qian was indeed somewhat inappropriate. When Mr. Zhang took office in Yangzhou, he protected the environment and the people, encouraged farmers and mulberry farmers, and administered the Qingming Festival.  He can be regarded as a good official. After the Yangzhou earthquake, Zhang Qian also devoted himself to the people and arranged disaster relief affairs in an orderly manner. He can be called a capable official." Guan Ying sighed, with a look of shame on his face, and said slowly.  .  Zhou Jiamo naturally saw that Guan Yingzhen¡¯s words came from the sincerity, and he breathed a sigh of relief. It was already commendable that his apprentice could get such an evaluation.  But this is not what Zhou Jiamo wants to hear. He pondered for a moment and then said: "Master Zhang doesn't have to say good things, just talk about your dissatisfaction! I also want to know. "Mr. Zhang is very utilitarian and does not care about his own promotion.  The life and death of the people was really in danger, which really made Guan Mou feel chilly.  Those things I did in the past must have been just for promotion.  However, the official said one thing, Mr. Zhang is far better than those officials who bribe the officials and do nothing.  After all, being able to serve as a parent official and do good things for the people is already commendable!  "Guan Yingzhen also wanted to understand that no one is perfect, and Zhang Qian's actions can be regarded as human nature. They are much better than those officials who do nothing and are corrupt and pervert the law. " Zhou Jiamo nodded slowly, and said nothing.  , sighed softly, and did not continue the topic. Guan Yingzhen on the other side didn't know what Zhou Jiamo was thinking, so he couldn't ask, so the two of them felt a little awkward.  Don't bother me anymore. When I get back to the capital, I'll treat you to a drink.  Now I want to rush back to Nanjing. I have almost understood everything. I am still in Nanjing after all!  "Zhou Jiamo looked at Guan Yingzhen with a smile, but the expression on his face was unusually serious. Guan Yingzhen also knew that this was an unusual time, so naturally he would not leave Zhou Jiamo behind, and he did not have the time. He nodded with a smile, but still  After asking, he said: "Master, don't you go to Zhang Qian?"  Mr. Zhang has been busy with disaster relief these days, and he seems to know that he has done something wrong. I think he also has something to say to Mr. Zhang!  " "Forget it, it's better not to go, the court has important matters!  I will report Zhang Qian¡¯s matter to the Emperor truthfully. As for what to do, let the Emperor make the decision!  Even though you are my student, I can¡¯t control you forever. It¡¯s time to take charge of your own business!  "Zhou Jiamo thought for a while, then slowly shook his head. "Okay then!  I'll have all those businessmen be packed up, sir, take them to Nanjing!  If you want to find out more about this case, I'm afraid you still have to start with these people.  However, Guan Mou said more, these people are all close people, and it may not be easy to get them to betray their background.  It may take some effort for adults, and some people may not be able to pry their mouths open!  "Guan Yingzhen's expression was very serious. After all, these are not the people Emperor Tianqi wants to punish, and these are not the people he seems to be punishing. "What Mr. Guan said makes sense, then I will leave!  "Zhou Jiamo didn't delay too much. He started doing things vigorously, turned around and walked out. After arranging everything, Guan Yingzhen watched Zhou Jiamo leave Yangzhou, with a bit of worry on his face, and said with emotion:  ¡°The water in Nanjing is too deep, be careful!  " Thirty miles north of Nanjing City, Luo Sigong was sitting in a tea shop, looking at his dozen or so close men, and said seriously: "Listen carefully, everyone is entering Nanjing City in batches, all wearing casual clothes.  Don't let anyone discover our whereabouts, don't contact anyone, and wait for my order.  " "Sir, there are many brothers in Nanjing. With their help, things will be much easier.  "Qianhu, a member of the Jinyi Guards, hesitated and said hesitantly. "The Jinyiwei in Nanjing don't believe it at all. Although it will be much easier to do things with them, it is easy for the news to leak.  Now we don't know what's going on in the capital, so we can't let the news leak out.  After entering the city, I will contact Jin Yiwei's spies in Nanjing City, and remember to keep myself in the dark.  No one can act rashly until the situation is clear!  "After glancing at Qianhu who was speaking, Luo Sigong explained again. "Yes, sir, don't worry!  "Everyone hurriedly replied respectfully. After waving his hands, Luo Sigong ordered: "Let's disperse!  ¡± A batch ofAs a group of people headed towards Nanjing City, Luo Sigong's eyes became more and more profound.  Looking in the direction of Nanjing, he murmured: "The clouds are beginning to rise over the sunrise pavilion, and the rain is about to come, and the wind is filling the building."
