"The government office doesn't provide meals, so I went to Taoranju to buy some. I was busy all night last night, so I'll have a good meal and then catch up on some sleep!"

Ji Xiaobei asked Xiaohua to bring the lunch box into the house.

"No, Xiaobei, can you tell me what happened?" Mrs. Lin looked confused.

Shitou and Liang Yuyao couldn't believe their ears.

It is said that Magistrate Lin is not biased towards the people when trying cases, so why is it that this time...

Ji Xiaobei told him everything in detail.

Two days later, everyone on the Textile Street heard that the Niu family was only fined and not sentenced because their nephew was an official in the capital.

Ji Xiaobei and Liang Yuyao knew it clearly.

The punishment the government gave him was just beating with a stick and a fine. He was not a serious criminal and would not be thrown into jail.

People also heard that Tui Guan Lin was under investigation.

The people did not know what happened to Lin the Magistrate, but they were still very happy when they heard that he was investigated and prosecuted.

……

"How's the investigation into Magistrate Lin going?" Fu Jichang asked after a while.

Xu Yu said, "Master, I checked the background of Lin Tui Guan. His name is Lin Zhouqi, and he is the nephew of Lin Yuanqing, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He used to be a clerk in Qingfeng County. He was transferred to Anzhou as a magistrate not long ago, and he is still in the probation period..."

"Lin Yuanqing?"

Fu Jichang narrowed his eyes slightly. He was deeply impressed by this person.

The year before last, he had just come to Anzhou as the magistrate. Winter was about to arrive, and the food and fodder for the northern border had not been moved yet. He mobilized the gentry and merchants in Anzhou to raise food and fodder for the northern border.

When Lin Yuanqing, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, heard about it, he was furious.

He was in charge of the preparation of food and fodder for the northern border, and he was anxious because the food and fodder had not arrived.

But no matter how anxious he was, he was not worried about the food rations of the soldiers on the frontier, but he was afraid of losing his official hat.

Unexpectedly, Fu Jichang took the lead and secretly raised food and fodder for the northern border.

Where to put his face.

He once met with Fu Jichang privately, and implied that he should stop interfering in other people's affairs.

Unexpectedly, Fu Jichang slammed the table and stood up, demanding to drag him to see the emperor. If the emperor said that privately providing food and fodder to the soldiers in the northern border was a trivial matter, he would immediately intercept the food and fodder that had been transported out.

At that time, the emperor didn't know that the food and grass from the northern border had not arrived yet.

Lin Yuanqing didn't dare to go to the emperor.

I originally wanted to build a relationship with Fu Jichang in private, but who knew that he would not listen to any tricks.

Lin Yuanqing was so angry that he left in anger.

Within a few days, the emperor learned that food and grass had not arrived from the northern border.

He severely criticized the people in the Ministry of Revenue and punished several minor officials.

Lin Yuanqing blamed all of this on Fu Jichang.

Fu Jichang knew Lin Yuanqing quite well.

"Isn't this a difficult task for Prefect Miao? He offended the Minister of Revenue for a small case involving the people. It's not worth it."

Fu Jichang said.

"But, after I reported the bad things done by Lin Tuiguan to Lord Miao, Lin Tuiguan was transferred to Anqing County two days ago and was responsible for the repair of the dam in Anqing County... But for some reason, the people outside said that Lin Tuiguan was punished."

Xu Yu told everything he had investigated.

Fu Jichang sneered and said, "Anqing County is prone to waterlogging in the summer. A lot of money has been allocated this time to properly manage it. This is a good job, and you don't have to show up in public. Master Miao really put a lot of effort into it!"

"Okay, let's stop here for now!"

"Okay, Master, I understand."

"By the way, what is the current situation of the Ji family?" Fu Jichang asked.

"Everything is fine. The young lady is in good health now. She ate a lot of the food that Taoranju sent over that day! The young master is also fine. He chases ducks and chickens in the backyard every day. He is so happy..."

Xu Yu said with a smile on his face.

"No more?" Fu Jichang turned his head and asked.

Xu Yu: Ah, that’s it, everything is fine!

Fu Jichang glared at him in dissatisfaction.

Xu Yu smiled and said, "Miss Ji is also doing very well. Miss Jiaojiao has also gone to Anzhou. The two of them go out shopping and eat every day. They have been to all the new food shops in Anzhou..."

Fu Jichang heard that Ji Xiaobei was living well.

Why am I the only one who is still angry?

"Okay, get out!"

He opened his mouth to say something, but swallowed it back when he heard Fu Jichang's words.

"Whatever you want to say, say it..."

Fu Jichang pulled his sleeve.

"I forgot to say that Miss Ji did not go to Mingyi Lane..."

Fu Jichang: Get out!

It disappeared in an instant.

If he wants to leave, he must at least report clearly the task assigned by his master!

Fu Jichang was so angry that his chest hurt.

He picked up the teacup on the table and threw it out. It hit the wall with a bang and broke into pieces.

He walked into the yard in a flash and climbed up the tree in the blink of an eye.

The master is angry again.

He hasn't smiled since returning from the palace.

It's really hard to get through these days.

He lowered his head and walked out, and saw He Ye walking in with a happy face.

"Mr. He, you are here. You look so good. There must be something good going on..." Xu Yu forced a smile and said, "By the way, my master is looking for you. Please go quickly!"

He Ye chuckled, he was also looking for Lao Fu.

These past few days, he had been having a lot of good things happen to him, but he had no one to share them with.

"Old Fu! Old Fu..." He Ye called out as soon as he reached Fu Jichang's study.

"Dead!" Fu Jichang answered coldly in the house.

"Okay, you die first, I'll come back another day..."

He Ye said this and turned to leave.

As soon as he heard it, he knew that Lao Fu was in a bad mood.

He was feeling very happy and didn't want his mood to be ruined.

"Stop, come back!" Fu Jichang shouted.

"No, I have something else to do, I'll leave first!" Before He Ye could take half a step, he was pulled into the house by Fu Jichang.

"Old He, are you a human being? I'm so upset that I'm about to explode, but you didn't help me and stayed away from me. You're a traitor."

Fu Jichang pushed him down on the chair and scolded him.

"Hehe, I am indeed a person who forgets my principles for the sake of beauty. However, I like it, hehehe... Jiaojiao and I have taken a substantial step..."

He Ye's mouth stretched from ear to ear.

Fu Jichang: Bah, I took that step three years ago, there’s nothing to show off about.

He Ye: Hehehehe…

The atmosphere in the room was like heaven and hell.

Fu Jichang glared at him fiercely and said, "I asked the emperor to grant me a marriage a few days ago, but before I even asked, the emperor already said he wanted to grant me a marriage!"

He Ye: Hahahaha

The emperor is determined to arrange a marriage for you, so you should fulfill his wish.

"Well, who was it given to?"

He Ye asked while holding back his laughter.

I have to say, Lao Fu is very popular with women.

The daughters of the noble civil servants in the capital were all staring at him.

He had a seductive and cold face, which made them feel intimidated.

The second daughter of Li Daxueshi, whom the emperor arranged to marry last time, is said to be as beautiful as a fairy.

He refused them all.

I heard that the girl was afraid of being laughed at by the ladies in the capital, so she married far away.

"It's Princess Yulin..." said Fu Jichang.

"What?..." He Ye spat out the tea in his mouth.
