Zombie travels through time and space to become the empress, who only wants to be a jerk and not att

After saying goodbye to the three adults one by one, Yan Jiu left in a leisurely manner, without any intention of treating anyone.

Zhang Bingcheng sighed helplessly, "Let's go, Lord Guo, Lord Li, I will treat you to Zuixianlou..."

Yan Jiuzhi returned to the stable of the post station and asked the waiter for a piece of discarded cloth.

He took off the torn shirt swiftly and wrapped it tightly with the cotton he had found.

He quickly changed into the clothes he wore when he left home and then put on a sheepskin coat.

Curled up in the straw like a cat to digest his food.

He had indeed eaten a lot just now.

At this moment, he felt mixed emotions, happy but also a little worried.

The good news was that he was about to take up the post of governor of Suizhou, and the relocation of the whole family would be relatively easy, except that the travel expenses were a little tight.

In fact, there is a budget for officials to take up their posts, but since he has a large family, the budget may not be enough.

What worries him even more is who should be entrusted with the management of his Dazhou?

Ugh.

By the way, why don’t you go and ask Lord Zhang Yuqing?

Just as he was about to go out, he saw a large group of palace personnel coming over, led by a eunuch.

"The imperial edict arrives——"

Standing at the entrance of the post station, the eunuch looked him up and down. The young eunuch next to him stepped forward and opened the box he was holding. The eunuch took out a bright yellow imperial edict from it.

"Where is Yan Jiuzhi, the new governor of Suizhou?"

oops.

The waiter at the official post station exclaimed.

The official post station can receive imperial edicts, but it has not received any edicts for many years.

The waiter is a little confused about the rules.

They hurriedly called the person in charge of the official post station and barely set up the formation. At the same time, they stopped Yan Jiuzhi who was about to go out in his sheepskin coat.

It was also the first time that Yan Jiuji received an imperial edict, and he knelt on the ground along with the people from the post station.

His Majesty also rewarded me with five hundred taels of silver. This time, there were no jade ornaments, but instead a few cotton-padded clothes.

Yan Jiuzhi was very happy. With this money, he would not have to worry about moving his family, and he could still have a lot left over, which he could send back to Dazhou to subsidize Dazhou's finances.

He knocked his head against the wall and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty—"

Now, everyone in the post station and the officials living there knew that this big man from the northwest who lived in the stable was the soon-to-be-appointed governor of Suizhou.

Everyone also wants to know why His Majesty chose him.

But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find out anything.

Go through the back door?

That is impossible. Who can get to your Majesty through the back door?

Did he use the back door of the Minister of Personnel? That won't work either, because Zhang Yuqing is already in jail.

People at the official post station were speculating a lot.

As soon as the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left, Yan Jiuji was surrounded.

Congratulations were heard everywhere.

Yan Jiu could not defend himself any longer and quickly slipped and ran to the stable behind.

At this moment, other officials in the capital also knew about this. This was the future governor of Suizhou, and he was selected by His Majesty himself.

Your Majesty is so young. As long as Yan Jiu doesn't do anything stupid like Yang Yong, he will be a favorite of Your Majesty for decades to come.

Officials of all ranks wanted to invite Yan Jiuzhi to a banquet. In one afternoon, the post station was flooded with visiting cards from officials of all ranks in the capital.

The person in charge of the official post station was both happy and sad. Now the post station had to vacate only one room for Yan Jiu no matter what.

Yan Jiu just waved his hand and said in a muffled voice, "Just don't lose my things."

After saying that, he ran away.

But after a few breaths, he turned back and said, "Excuse me, how do I get to the residence of the Minister of Personnel Zhang?"

“Uh…” The person in charge looked surprised. This guy is about to become the governor of Suizhou, but he doesn’t know that his immediate superior has been thrown into jail?

"Master Yan, this...Master Zhang has committed a crime and has been arrested by the Imperial Guards. He is now either in the Imperial Guards Prison or the Ministry of Justice Prison."

Yan Jiu frowned, "For the claws?"

The waiter didn't understand the dialect at first, so Yan Jiu just switched to Mandarin and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Oh, it was said that it involved poisoning or something like that. Anyway, the arrest was very sudden."

"I heard that Lord Zhang was fine when he went to court, but he was arrested when he left the court, and he didn't even have the time to return home," the person in charge of the official post station was more informed than the common people.

"Master Yan, I suggest you not to move forward now, in case you get implicated..."

I just got the position of prefect, and I haven’t even started to feel comfortable sitting in it yet.

This is sincere advice.

Yan Jiu frowned even more tightly.

How come he was arrested for no reason?

He ignored the waiter's advice and went out directly.

The waiter behind him shook his head and sighed, "Alas, you don't know how to appreciate the good fortune you have. This state capital you just got is going to be lost..."

Yan Jiu was only worried that things might get worse, so he first exchanged the silver bestowed by His Majesty into banknotes.

Relying on memory, I came to a Hengyue Money House.

He clattered a bag of silver onto the counter.

After a cup of tea, he left the money shop with the silver bills.

"what?"

As soon as he stepped out of the money house, Cherry got off the carriage and saw a tall figure. She recognized it as that man at a glance.

She stared at the figure disappearing around the corner of the street, pursed her lips, and stepped into the bank.

Yan Jiu was keenly aware that someone was staring at him from behind. After turning the corner, he stood at the corner and looked back carefully, but did not see any suspicious people.

"This capital city is really... How can the water be so deep?"

He made up his mind and after visiting Lord Zhang Yuqing, he immediately set off back to Dazhou.

When we arrived at the gate of Zhang's house, we saw a desolate scene.

The mansion that was supposed to be magnificent now looked extremely dilapidated, and the vermilion gate had lost its former glory and turned dim.

Even the snow at the door seemed to be telling of the coldness and loneliness of this place. It was obvious that no one had cleaned it for a long time.

A cold wind blew, blowing a few snowflakes into my collar.

Yan Jiu couldn't help but shudder. Looking at the bleak scene in front of him, he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

The ups and downs of officialdom.

After becoming the prefect of Suizhou, I must be more careful.

He sighed and went up the stairs.

dong dong dong.

dong dong dong.

Few people knock on the door of Zhang Mansion nowadays.

An old man in his fifties, wearing a cotton hat, poked his head out and said coldly, "I'm sorry, the Zhang Mansion doesn't accept guests."

"Well, I'm Yan Jiuji, and I'm here to thank Lord Zhang for his recommendation," Yan Jiuji held the door with one hand, and the old man's door could not be closed.

Under normal circumstances, this behavior is considered rude.

But in the current situation, there are still people willing to come to express their gratitude. The old man feels inexplicably grateful and his attitude has improved a lot.

"My Lord, I am sure you have heard about my Lord's situation."

"It's really inconvenient to receive guests now. Please leave a message. If there is a chance in the future, please visit Zhang's house again."

Yan Jiu just wanted to ask in detail what was going on.

He had never met this Lord Zhang Yuqing, but the other party had recommended him to such an important position as the prefect of Suizhou, which meant that he was doing him a favor.

pity.

He is small and powerless now, and has not yet taken office, so he can't do anything.

"Where is Mr. Zhang being held now?"

The old man glanced at him and said, "In the Imperial Guards' Prison."

Yan Jiu just saluted him with his fists, turned around and left in a leisurely manner.
