After a good start, the next thing will be soon.

Ma De asked Shi Shilun to give full play to his advantages in the Taiwan yamen and issue more personnel to investigate the livelihood situation in various places, so as to use it as a basis for judging the scholars in the future.

Then, he agreed with Lu Longqi and Shi Shilun that he would temporarily lead the Taiping Prefecture, Lu Longqi led the Huizhou Prefecture, and Shi Shilun led the Ningguo Prefecture. He also set a certain authority to avoid some things being unable to be handled at that time. Although Wang Xinlan reminded them that private authorization would violate the "Court system", in fact, the Qing court officials overstepped their power from time to time. You care about me and I care about you. As long as it is not too excessive, no one will care too much in general, so don't mention that Made and Shi Lu are "sincerely cooperation". Therefore, this reminder is not in everyone's heart.

After discussing this matter, since the prefects and prefects could not explain too many governance plans for the time being, Ma De ordered them to write the plan they had planned to be written into a document within a month and sent it to his governor's office, and temporarily put it aside.

After dealing with these things, the rest was Zhao Hengsheng, the general of Anqing who had nothing to do!

"Master Futai, what's the matter if you want to stay?" Zhao Hengsheng has been listening to several civil servants, and his ears have long been called out. He wanted to say goodbye, but he thought that there must be something wrong with Ma De keeping him together. In desperation, he had to stay there. He finally waited until Ma De and his gang had almost finished discussing the matter. Before he could even start a new topic, he could no longer wait. He hurriedly took the opportunity to ask Ma De.

"Haha, General Zhao is anxious!" Ma De smiled and looked at the general who looked pretty mighty and had a pretty good figure, but always made people feel that he lacked the temperament of a true general. He continued: "Actually, I left the General Lord, just want to ask about some situations."

"Master Futai, please ask, the general will definitely tell you everything!" Zhao Hengsheng said immediately. His performance made everyone present easily see through the tension in his heart.

"Haha, General Zhao doesn't have to be so serious. In fact, it's just a few small questions..." Ma De smiled and continued to cheer Zhao Hengsheng up his appetite and heart.

"If you can even a governor want to know, this 'small problem' is probably limited!" Zhao Hengsheng also smiled, without saying anything, but just pretended to be cautious.

"When I came, I passed by Henan and heard someone talk about two groups of people, and I kept it in my heart. After arriving in Anqing, I thought that if you can be promoted to general, you must have been in the army for a long time. I think you are more clear about these two groups of people, so I asked you to stay, so I would like to ask for advice!" Ma De replied.

"I really don't dare to take the word "Ask" in the end. Please ask Master Futai!" Zhao Hengsheng said with his fists.

"Okay!... Lord Zhao, do you know who is 'Kunxiu Abao'?" Ma De asked.

"Kunxiu Bao?" As soon as Ma De asked, not only Zhao Hengsheng, Shi Shilun, Wang Xinlan and Zhang Kai couldn't help but scream. Li Lin's voice was particularly loud in the middle.

"It turns out that everyone knows this couple! OK! Please give me a good lecture to me." Ma De didn't know what he was thinking, his eyes lit up.

"Sir, this Kunxiu Abao is a thief from Taihu Lake. He has been traversing the Taihu Lake area for many years and has formed his own water village. He lives by taking on salt ships and intercepting officials and gentry. But a few years ago, he has been wiped out by Yu Chenglong. What do you want to know about them?" Seeing everyone's eyes facing him, Zhao Hengsheng asked Ma De carefully.

"I know all of this. Moreover, I asked some on the way and knew that Kunxiu was a man, with his surname Jin! The water village was broken and was captured. However, not long after, he was rescued by Abao and forced to break the prison. I wonder if this is the case?" Ma De asked again.

"Sir, what you are asking about is just folk rumors. In fact, Kun Xiu had been beaten to death long ago, but his wife, Abao, was even more powerful. Not only did he run away when the government army surrounded him, it is said that he brought people to the mansion of Jiangsu Admiral Zhang Yunyi. Although nothing major happened, I heard that Admiral Zhang was shot in the thigh by an arrow... I just don't know if this matter is true, or the people in the green forest boasted on their own. After all, being thieves were really disgraced to the court by being thieves, and the government did not make this matter public..." Zhao Hengsheng replied.

"Oh? It seems that this Bao is really amazing!... Do you recognize this?" Ma De suddenly took out something tightly wrapped in several layers of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Hengsheng.

"This is..." Zhao Hengsheng peeled off the layers of paper, but he saw a dagger with a cold light shining. He knew it was made of stainless steel at a glance. Turning around and looking, he saw the two words engraved on the blade, "Kun Bao Jing Shang"!

"This was brought to me by a little beggar when I was stroking my way. I didn't know what this meant, but then I remembered the rumor of "Kun Xiu Abao" I heard on the way, and then I connected it. Hehe, General Zhao, what do you think of this thing?" Ma De grinned.

"Master, sir... It's not easy to talk nonsense about this matter!" Zhao Hengsheng handed the dagger to Shi Shilun, his face very ugly.

"Hmph, what a bold thief. He actually dares to threaten the province to help the Taiwan Strait! Sir, the official will definitely solve this case as soon as possible and arrest this Bao!" As the inspector in charge of public security in a province, Shi Shilun, who held the dagger, did not know whether it was because of the anger of provocation or the excitement of facing the major case, he kept shaking gently.

"Don't be anxious! The four words 'Kunbao Jing Shang' do not necessarily mean Kunxiu and Abao. However, it is definitely not easy to get my whereabouts so correctly... By the way, General Zhao, do you know another person named 'Shen Qingyu'?" Ma De continued to ask.

"Shen Qingyu? Master Futai, it seems that you have put some effort into these big bandits in Jiangnan." Before Zhao Hengsheng could speak, Shi Shilun continued, "Although Shen Qingyu is not as good as Kunxiu Abao, he is also a large thief in Jiangnan. He specializes in selling private salt and has his footprints all over the Yangtze River. It is said that he has a lot of connections with many salt merchants and gentry, and even the officials have many suspicions. Therefore, every time the government wants to send troops to wipe him out, he can avoid it in time. Moreover, I heard that he has hundreds of desperate people under him, who can fight more than officers and soldiers. In addition, he has always been wandering and is still at large. "

"Well! It seems that the territory of Jiangnan is indeed 'outstanding and powerful'. Since Ben Fu was appointed as Anhui, he could no longer let Anhui be like before. General Zhao, Kunxiu Bao's affairs are forgot, and leave them to Lord Shi to deal with. However, Chen Qingyu dared to join troops to fight against the government. Ben Fu didn't want to hear the news that he was messing around in Anhui Province again!" Ma De stared at Zhao Hengsheng's eyes and said.

"Yes...yes! Please rest assured, I will do my best!" Zhao Hengsheng secretly complained in his heart, but he had no choice but to agree.

"That's good!" You, a general, were actually pulled by someone as a gunman. I didn't find any errands for you, and I really made you idle. Ma De nodded, but secretly thought about it.

...

Next, a group of people discussed for a while, and Ma De let everyone go. However, just after Ma De sent everyone out of the yamen, Hai Liu immediately came over to report to him: "Wang Wenjing, the magistrate of Xuancheng, has important matters, please see him!"

"Wang Wenjing? What's wrong with him?"

"He came from the back door and only said eight words!" Hai Liu looked up at Ma De, and then continued: "It's important, it's urgent!"

"Oh?" Made thought for a while and walked back.

...

No one knew what Wang Wenjing had said to Ma De, but on the next day, the three of Taiping Prefect Xu Yue, Huizhou Prefect Chang Hongzu and Ningguo Prefect Li Wenmin suddenly disappeared from Anqing Mansion, and nowhere was found. Those who were interested found their yamen again, but no one was found. Even their families in each mansion left their residence one after another.

...

Seven or eight days later, the capital!

There is a duty room not far from the study room. In this slightly narrow room, Tong Guowei and Zhang Tingyu on duty are each handling their own business.

"Hmph, Hengchen, look, this Ma De is getting more and more excessive. Once he takes office, he doesn't care about the reason, just a few rumors, he will be the three prefects! He is so arrogant and domineering!" A memorial was waved in his hand, and Tong Guowei shouted at Zhang Tingyu. It was Ma De who sent someone to the capital to see him.

"Made? No, right? He doesn't look like that kind of person!" Zhang Tingyu raised his head and rubbed his eyes and said casually.

"Hmph! Of course, it's not that kind of person in the capital, but it changes as soon as it leaves Beijing. Are these officials the same?" Tong Guowei snorted disdainfully and said, "This memorial cannot be read, and he has to be issued an approval document to scold him severely. Humph, at least others know that peace is the most important, and he, Ma De, actually faces local officials as soon as he arrives.... This atmosphere must not be encouraged!"

"Tong Xiang, I'm afraid this is not good, right?" Zhang Tingyu persuaded: "Ma De is the governor of a province after all, and his memorials are not comparable to other officials. It's better to read it through the emperor..."

"Yeah!" Tong Guowei nodded in a panic, but did not insist. Ordinary memorials can be reviewed by the ministers in the study room instead of the emperor, which is to share the emperor's hard work. Otherwise, no matter how capable the emperor is, he would not be able to withstand the affairs of the whole country. However, some people's memorials can only be read and cannot be moved, such as officials like Ma De. Although Tong Guowei is powerful and generous, he knows very well what he can do and cannot do.

So he put Ma De's memorial aside first and waited to give it to Kangxi later when he met the saint.

But……

After a while, he couldn't help but scream.
