Crossing the famine, I am a poor fish, and my descendants have to work hard

The meal was very sumptuous.

There are a full range of desserts, drinks, main meals and fruits after meals.

The main course consists of 16 dishes, with a complete range of dishes, each with its own characteristics, and the standard can be said to be very high.

Zhao Yuanzhen was barely satisfied.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they asked Butler Fang to leave.

I've been running all afternoon and I'm so tired.

Prepare to digest for a while and then go to bed.

In the following days, Zhao Yuanzhen, Lan Ying and the other three were treated to delicious food and drinks every day. Zhao Yuanzhen would occasionally go out for a walk to see what was going on outside.

It's a mess outside now.

The officers and soldiers searched house to house every day, determined to catch Zhang Zijin and his men.

Prefect Fang was so angry that he died.

"My Lord, that's how the child ran away."

"You mean the child who was first rescued by the black wolf, ran away with it on his back, and then disappeared at the gate of my mansion?"

"Yes, my lord."

Prefect Fang stepped forward and kicked me. Do you think I will believe you?

They asked the White Wolf to save his master, but the Saker Falcon laughed at them.

Don’t you even know how to make up a story?

They are all a bunch of idiots and can't catch even one person.

"I don't care how you make it up. If you don't catch the person within five days, you will be beheaded."

Once the death order is given, tell them to get out immediately.

The few people who received the order crawled down, not because they were timid, but because Magistrate Fang really dared to chop off people's heads.

Last time, someone did a bad job, and two days later, the prefect found a reason to chop off his head.

In order to save their heads, everyone started searching the city like crazy, determined to find these people.

Zhao Yuanzhen would go to the teahouse every time, buy a pot of tea, sit by the window leisurely, and watch them search like an ant on hot pot.

I spent the whole morning watching it.

You know what, it’s quite interesting.

Outside, the city was frantically searched for them. They were staying in the villa of Prefect Fang, eating and drinking the best food, wearing his clothes, and receiving the highest level of treatment.

Occasionally, you can go out and check on the search team, or go to Prefect Fang's mansion to hang out, to make sure he doesn't secretly transfer any property or anything.

Fortunately, Prefect Fang was very confident and had no idea that danger was approaching quietly.

Just like this, 20 days passed by in a flash.

There are basically no search teams these days.

They gave up and firmly believed that the people had been taken out of the city by Haidongqing and Bailang.

I searched Yangzhou city several times but couldn't find him. He must have left the city.

The leader of the government soldiers lived up to everyone's expectations and had two of his heads chopped off by Prefect Fang.

There's no point in chopping it off, the person is really gone, disappeared.

After Prefect Fang had a great outburst of rage, he suddenly accepted his fate.

This woman was lucky, she actually ran away.

Where there is life, there is hope.

Since I know who she is and what her name is, I can always find her. It won't be too late to deal with her when I return to the capital. I will never let him go.

After comforting himself, Magistrate Fang, who was no longer so angry, went to his son's room and comforted him, deciding not to make him angry again.

Today, Zhao Yuanzhen went out of the villa as usual to drink tea and go shopping to kill time.

Then I saw Huang Rong coming back.

"Huang Rong, you're back? Is my elder brother here?"

Huang Rong flapped her wings, pointed at her small schoolbag, and motioned Zhao Yuanzhen to look at the schoolbag.

She opened her schoolbag and found a letter inside. When she opened it, she found it was written by Zhao Yuanlan.

The letter said that His Majesty sent him and Zhang Xinshu to handle the case of Prefect Fang. The man was to be beheaded on the spot without being taken back to the capital. His property was confiscated and would be transported back to the capital by Zhao Yuanlan.

Zhang Xinshu is the newly appointed prefect of Yangzhou.

Zhao Yuanzhen was a little surprised. She could guess that it was most likely Zhao Yuanlan who came to handle Prefect Fang's case, but she didn't expect that Zhang Xinshu would be the newly appointed prefect.

Zhao Yuanlan has now arrived at Yangzhou City and is in a military camp on the outskirts of the city. He will lead his troops in tomorrow and take the city in one fell swoop.

Zhao Yuanzhen wrote back, saying that she would wait for him at the city gate tomorrow, and asked Huang Rong to continue delivering the letter.

Afterwards, he did not go shopping and went back to the villa with the letter.

"Grandma, why are you back so early today?"

Every time Zhao Yuanzhen went out, she would not come back until lunch time.

"Your great uncle has sent a letter saying that he has arrived outside Yangzhou City and will enter the city tomorrow. Let's go and meet up with them tomorrow."

"My great uncle is here? That's great. I can go out now."

Although he was free in the villa, he still wanted to go out and take a look.

"Your uncle is here with us too. Come over tomorrow."

"My uncle is here too. I missed him so much. I haven't seen him for more than three years."

"We'll see you tomorrow."

"Uh-huh."

The next day, after breakfast, Zhao Yuanzhen took Zhang Zijin and a few others out of the villa and prepared to meet Zhao Yuanlan at the city gate.

Several people walked on the street with an open and honest look, and did not arouse anyone's suspicion.

Maybe some of them were too ostentatious.

Instead, no one doubted it. This is probably what happens when things reach their extremes.

After waiting for a while at the city gate, Zhao Yuanlan and his companions came in.

Zhao Yuanlan, Zhang Xinshu and a deputy general led the charge, followed by 2 officers and soldiers.

A large group of people marched into Yangzhou city in a mighty procession.

Because no one had leaked the news to Prefect Fang, he didn't even know when the army entered the city.

At that time, Zhao Yuanlan was in the general's mansion. Just after returning from court, he found a Saker Falcon flying towards him.

He was very surprised. A Saker Falcon is a rare animal that not everyone can catch. Moreover, this kind of creature is basically found outside the Great Wall. How could it appear in the capital?

Out of curiosity, he wanted to see what the Saker Falcon was doing.

Huang Rong flew to Zhao Yuanlan and landed on the ground in front of him. She flapped her small schoolbag with her wings and looked at Zhao Yuanlan with her black eyes.

Zhao Yuanlan saw it fall there and started flapping its wings. What did it mean that it couldn't hold it for a while?

Then I saw the small schoolbag on his back.

"You want me to open the little backpack on your back?"

Huang Rong took a few steps forward and signaled to him that he was right.

Zhao Yuanlan looked at her, walked forward, gently approached Huang Rong, and then opened her small schoolbag.

The small schoolbag was tied very tightly and it took him a while to open it.

There are quite a few things inside, take them out one by one.

There was a stack of letters, a case file, an account book, a single letter, and a jade pendant.

As soon as he saw the jade pendant, he knew it.

It is my sister's jade pendant, and this Saker Falcon should also belong to my sister. After opening the letter, it turned out to be my sister.

After reading the contents of the letter, he opened the stack of letters and read them carefully, and also looked at the other evidence.

Thinking of his sister's situation, he immediately went to the palace to meet His Majesty without further delay.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, this is the letter and some evidence sent by my sister. Please take a look."

Zhao Yuanzhen?

Didn’t this woman go out to travel around famous mountains and rivers?

He opened the letter suspiciously, and when he saw the contents, he became furious. He suppressed his anger and checked the stack of letters and various evidences.

This is really unbearable.

Bang, it fell on the table.

"A small Yangzhou prefect could do such a thing that disregards the law and undermines the government. This is simply an unforgivable crime."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

"Stop flattering and say something useful."

"Your Majesty, I think the first thing we should do now is to keep it secret, and then send someone to secretly arrest the prefect. At the same time, we should continue to investigate the correspondence, follow the clues, and catch them all in one fell swoop."

"Well, it's the same as I thought. Who do you think is suitable to be sent to confiscate the property?"

Zhao Yuanlan really wanted to say, "I want to go," but he was afraid that Your Majesty would be suspicious.

Your Majesty looked at him, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Alright, stop being shy, it's written all over your face. Just go ahead. There are soldiers in the city. To prevent them from disobeying orders, go to the military camp and dispatch 2 soldiers to confiscate the property in one fell swoop."

"Yes, I accept the order."

"Yes, the property will be taken back to Beijing."

"Yes, Your Majesty, where is that person?"

"Just chop the person off in Yangzhou City, and behead all family members involved. The women will be exiled, and the servants will be sold or exiled."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

His Majesty then wrote an imperial edict, specifying the punishment and confiscation of property, etc.

"Who do you think can take up the vacant Yangzhou prefectural position?"

There is one person for each job. When one dies, the next one will be replaced.

"I don't know."

He really doesn't know who to recommend, so Your Majesty should figure it out yourself.

"Okay, back off."

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

His Majesty looked at Zhao Yuanlan who was halfway gone and called him back.

"Wait a minute."

"His Majesty?"

"I will write another imperial edict to Zhao Yuanzhen."

After all, Zhao Yuanzhen was a third-rank official in the imperial court. How could she just hold the title and do nothing? Since she could find one prefectural governor Fang, she could find countless prefectural governors Fang.

Investigate this thoroughly for me. It would be best if all the corrupt officials in the Daliang Dynasty are found out.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After writing the imperial edict, he asked someone to bring him an imperial sword.

The Imperial Sword can strike down tyrants and execute treacherous ministers.

It was given to Zhao Yuanzhen to use during the trip and he could take it back after the trip.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of my sister."

"Well, let's go down."

"Yes, I will retire."

His Majesty looked at the account book on the table and began to have a headache again. Who should he send to take on such a big and lucrative job?

He has to be an honest official, have a sharp edge, and cannot be affiliated with any party. It would be best if he is a lone wolf.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally thought of a person.

"Come here, call Zhang Xinshu to sage the saint."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Your Majesty had just reviewed a few memorials when Zhang Xinshu arrived.

"Your Majesty, I, Zhang Xinshu, pay my respects to you. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor. Long, long live the emperor."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Please read these letters first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhang Xinshu took the stack of letters, account books and files handed over by the young eunuch.

Finally I saw the letter from his mother.

My mother is still so brave. She can investigate everyone's background just by playing around.
