Born a phoenix? The husband I picked up is the young emperor

Chapter 899

Zheng Qiaoer looked confused when she heard this, "Which Mr. Gao?"

Shi Anxia glanced at Liang Yanzhi and thought that the capital was a circle, and she could meet acquaintances everywhere. She wondered how her cheap second aunt felt when she saw her sister and her brother-in-law.

Mr. Gao was a talent admired by Emperor Mingde. He was sent to Huizhou to control floods, and he was quite effective.

In the previous life, Emperor Mingde saw that Jeju was also suffering from severe flooding, so he sent Lord Gao to Jeju as the prefect.

This time, Mr. Gao will be in trouble.

After Emperor Rongguang came to power, Mr. Gao was kept in Jeju and was not allowed to be promoted.

Jeju was hit by severe floods and had a rugged terrain. Gao worked hard to ask the Ministry of Revenue to allocate money to reinforce the dam and manage the mountains and forests.

But the Ministry of Revenue under Emperor Rongguang was not like the Ministry of Revenue under Emperor Mingde, which tightened its belt. They had money to build palaces but no money to build dams.

Mr. Gao had no other choice but to raise money from the people to build the dam. He begged everyone and everyone, and the wealthy merchants were afraid of Mr. Gao and avoided him.

However, Mr. Gao's dedication to serving the people has also touched many local people.

The wealthy contributed money, the able-bodied contributed their strength, and the atmosphere in Jeju gradually improved under the influence of Mr. Gao. Everyone no longer only cared about their own little families, and they knew that only when Jeju was well and no disasters occurred, the people of Jeju could live and work in peace, and everyone could earn money and live a good life.

The years when Mr. Gao served as the prefect of Jeju should have been the happiest years for the people of Jeju.

Unfortunately, the good times don't last long.

Many places are plagued by natural disasters and man-made tragedies, but life in Jeju is peaceful and stable.

Mr. Gao is also stubborn and stubborn. He only focuses on practical work and rarely spends time on socializing. He doesn't care about promotion or not, and can't pull anyone into the camp.

As a result, some people could not stand his noble character, and could not stand the people praising this good official.

Someone bribed a wealthy businessman to go to Beijing to file a complaint, falsely accusing Mr. Gao of raising funds from the public to build a dam, but actually pocketing the money.

When the imperial court sent people to investigate, they dug up dozens of boxes of gold bars and silver in the backyard of Mr. Gao's house.

Mr. Gao was thrown into prison.

But the people of Jeju did not believe it. They sang songs while crying and knelt in the streets.

Tens of thousands of people blocked the three-way intersection leading to the capital, preventing Mr. Gao from accompanying the imperial envoy to serve his sentence.

The imperial envoy couldn't take anyone away at all. If he tried to take him away by force, he himself would not be able to leave.

Mr. Gao was stopped by the people and imprisoned in Jeju Prison.

During his time in Jeju Prison, Gao did not suffer much. Instead, common people came to bring him food and clothes every now and then. When they found that the prison guards were abusing Gao, someone immediately found local wealthy merchants who had received favors from Gao and put pressure on the government to change the prison guards.

Later, a jailer who had been working there for a long time said that it was not so much about guarding prisoners as it was about worshipping a living ancestor.

Mr. Gao’s wife, Liang Yanbing, is also highly respected in the local area. In addition to being Mrs. Gao, she is also a famous local doctor.

Liang Yanbing has loved tinkering with flowers and plants since she was a child. After tinkering with them for a long time, she discovered that many flowers and plants could be used as medicine, and from then on she became fascinated with treating people.

Since she was a child, she has been using her hand to feel people's pulses. Many people in the Liang family are afraid of her and don't listen to her.

It was not until Liang Yanbing married Gao Pinyuan that she was like a bird released from a cage, flying high in the sky.

Gao Pinyuan doted on his wife and condoned all her words and actions. He often took his wife, who was dressed as a servant, to various occasions.

It is no exaggeration to say that wherever Mr. Gao is, there must be a handsome servant named "Bing'er" by his side.
