Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

Half an hour later, the confused governor of Jingzhou arrived.

Jingzhou is not far from Shangjing. It takes about ten days by boat, and only four or five days by horse via the official road. Therefore, the governor of Jingzhou is also a Beijing official.

The person who held the concurrent position was the Vice Minister of Rites, Lin Zhaohe.

Lin Zhaohe had previously taken on a hot potato - she personally apologized to Master Deng of the Western Suburbs School and personally delivered the scroll on the school's reform.

But after all, there were many officials in the Ministry of Rites, and not every official supported the expansion of the imperial examination system.

Therefore, since then, his position in the Ministry of Rites has been neither high nor low, which is a bit embarrassing.

Your Majesty forced him to take sides, which was considered a slap in the face, so he later rewarded him with a sweet treat - he was concurrently appointed as the Governor of Jingzhou.

This was supposed to be a good job.

Lin Zhaohe gradually "accepted his fate" and joined the "court reformists". Seeing Shen Zheng's great achievements, his life also improved, and he was very proud of himself.

Seeing the plaque of Jingren Palace, he couldn't help but stop and said, "Eunuch Hong, this is the Queen's bedroom. It would be inappropriate for me to rush in..."

Eunuch Hong didn't care about whether it was okay or not, and took two steps forward, "Lord Lin, His Majesty is inside, please hurry up."

Lin Zhaohe's heart sank when she saw his anxious expression.

Along the way, he had asked several times, both openly and secretly, but Eunuch Hong was unwilling to let out a word, and now, he brought him to the Queen's bedroom...

Something bad has happened.

Lin Zhaohe looked at the dark clouds above his head and was extremely sure in his heart - something bad had happened!

He quickened his pace to catch up with Eunuch Hong. As soon as he entered the Lizheng Hall, he knelt down without even looking at anyone.

"Your Majesty, I am Lin Zhaohe. I greet your Majesty and your Majesty the Queen!"

"Snapped--"

The exquisite teacup shattered before his eyes.

Lin Zhaohe shuddered.

What's going on?!

He should die with understanding!

Before she could even utter the words "Your Majesty, calm down," she heard the emperor's voice from above her head: "Lin Zhaohe, you manage Jingzhou well!"

Something happened in Jingzhou?!

Lin Zhaohe immediately looked up, with shock and fear in her eyes.

At this moment, he finally saw the other two people in the hall clearly.

——Shen Xingjian from the Ministry of Revenue.

——Liang Fu, Ministry of Works.

The two people who were supposed to be in Tongan County and the two people who were supposed to follow Tongan County Magistrate Shen Zheng appeared in the palace alone.

No way...

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" He pressed his forehead against the ground. "I am stupid and ignorant. I beg Your Majesty to explain it clearly!"

"Look up." The emperor lowered his eyes and closely watched his every move. "Tong'an County Magistrate Shen Zheng was assassinated and disappeared ten days ago. He is in Jingzhou!"

Lin Zhaohe's pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously propped up his hands, "Lord Shen is missing?! Your Majesty, I really don't know about this matter, Your Majesty! I set off to return to Beijing half a month ago, and I didn't receive any news about Lord Shen at that time!"

The emperor glanced at Shen Xingjian, and Shen Xingjian recounted the assassination incident that night, and finally added the anomalies at the Dezhou and Jingzhou docks.

Lin Zhaohe's heart was beating fast when he heard this and he kept saying "What a fool!"

During this period, the emperor did not miss any expression on his face.

But the current emperor suspects everyone equally.

Therefore, he couldn't rely on just one person to find Shen Zheng.

Seeing that the emperor didn't say anything, Lin Zhaohe felt wronged.

Does the assassin have a grudge against him? He really knows how to pick a place!

Finally, when Lin Zhaohe was sweating profusely, the emperor spoke: "Lin Zhaohe, whether it is your fault or not, I will not discuss it for now. I order you, together with Lu Botang, to rush to Jingzhou immediately and bring Shen Zheng and Yu Jiusi back intact!"

With whom?

Lin Zhaohe's eyes widened in disbelief.

——Lu Manzi.

Want him to work with Lu Manzi?

What is Lu Manzi doing? Your Majesty is going to send troops to look for someone?

And why must it be "brought back"? Why is Your Majesty so sure that Lord Shen is still alive? Wasn't he assassinated?

While he was stunned, the emperor said in a stern voice: "Hong Banban, draft an edict! Order Lu Botang to lead 300 elite soldiers to follow Lin Zhaohe to Jingzhou, and then select 3,000 garrison troops to search for people and set off immediately."

Hearing this, Lin Zhaohe finally confirmed it.

Shen Zheng, a seventh-rank county magistrate, oh no, a sixth-rank official of the Ministry of Works, was missing, and His Majesty actually directly mobilized the troops stationed in Beijing to go to the situation.

Why not directly click on the palace soldiers or garrison troops?

After thinking for a moment in panic, Lin Zhaohe felt a chill down his spine - Your Majesty... does not trust him, nor does he trust the Jingzhou government.

Shen Zheng...is it really that important?

Lin Zhaohe felt a dry throat.

As a result, he could no longer receive foreign visitors, nor could he attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet.

But then I thought about it.

If he could bring Shen Zheng back, the emperor would be very pleased, wouldn't that be a great achievement?

But if you really can't find anyone, or if you find someone...

The emperor would certainly vent his anger on him because he was not doing his job well.

He had to find a job to cover himself, and he didn't care even if it meant offending people.

After weighing the matter for a moment, Lin Zhaohe straightened his back and said, "Your Majesty... Lord Shen is a pillar of our Great Zhou State. It is really unjust for him to be assassinated. As the governor of Jingzhou, I beg Your Majesty to allow me to thoroughly investigate the assassination of Lord Shen and give an explanation to Lord Shen and the people!"

I thought the emperor would agree, but he just gave him a sidelong look and said, "Your duty is to find Shen Zheng intact. As for the rest, I will make the decision myself."

This is not to ask him to check.

Having lost his safety net, Lin Zhaohe's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. "I will take the order and go find General Lu immediately."

......

General Zhongwu's Mansion.

"Your Majesty wants me to lead the troops? And you want 300 elite soldiers to march quickly?" Lu Botang looked at the anxious Lin Zhaohe and spitted, "You are the one who is harming me, aren't you? The Queen Mother's birthday is coming soon, and Your Majesty doesn't want me to guard the imperial city, but wants me to run to Jingzhou?"

Lin Zhaohe stamped his feet anxiously, "How did you get involved with me? General Lu, you have read the imperial edict. That person is missing, we must go find him!"

"If you want to find someone, go find him!" Lu Botang looked puzzled and stood still. "You are the governor of Jingzhou, so you should be in charge. You should dispatch the garrison troops to find someone. Why do you want me to accompany you? Are you afraid on the way there?"

Lin Zhaohe gritted her teeth and cursed in her heart.

A barbarian is a barbarian, stubborn and brainless.

"General Lu, this is the order of His Majesty. We must act in an emergency and find someone. I hope you won't argue with me again. If you don't go, I will leave immediately. If His Majesty blames you, I hope you won't implicate me."

Even though Lu Botang was unwilling, the imperial edict before him could not be false.

"Let's go!" He didn't even change his clothes and got on the horse directly. "If it is really you who recommended me to His Majesty, I will settle the score with you after I find the person!"

Lin Zhaohe was so angry that smoke came out of her nose.

I will recommend you only after I’m full!
