Chapter 674 Leak

The imperial court had a super-ranked official who entered Taiyuan City and summoned the general Jin Guozheng of Taiyuan Town and the general Wang Yiming of the general. The news that Zhao army went to the city was soon spread to Shanxi Governor Su Keji, governor Su Zhan and other Shanxi officials. The people couldn't help but feel frightened.

Superior master, what is a superior? Above the first rank, it is called a superior. Among the five-level titles of male, son, lord, marquis, and duke, the viscount is the first rank, and only the titles of a count or above are called a superior official. Among the royal family, the titles of a duke are the superior.

Needless to say, the imperial envoy of the court arrived in Taiyuan City. Not only did the other party be quick, but he did not follow the court's etiquette at all. Before and after entering the city, he went straight to Mancheng without saying a word, and then summoned the generals of the Taiyuan Town and Town Guardian Association. Isn't it obvious that they came for them? Governor Su Keji was stunned for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Prepare a sedan chair, go to Mancheng, and send someone to inform the left censor Kuixu, governor Su Zhan, and the censor Yue Daidu went to Mancheng to meet the imperial envoy.

At the gate of the city, Kuixu, Su Keji and others were rejected. The guards and generals at the gate had changed. After being sent to the famous sect, a military officer soon came out. He was very polite, but his words were extremely cold. "The master has given him an order to hire a horse all the way, and he is extremely tired. No guests will be seen tonight. Please come and visit the officials of the Fudao County in Taiyuan City tomorrow morning."

Su Keji did not expect that he and others would come to the scene, and the other party would avoid him. Seeing the military officer turning around and going into the city gate, he hurriedly asked, "May I ask the imperial envoy is..."

"I'll know it tomorrow morning." The military officer said without looking back and quickly walked into the city gate.

Even without even telling his identity, there is such an imperial envoy in the world? Su Keji and his men couldn't help but look at each other, and for a while, the few people walked away from the city gate. After standing still, Kuixue retreated his personal guards. After glanced at them, he asked softly: "Have all the security silver, pension silver, and harm removal silver have been issued?"

Su Keji smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Xiantai. I have only been in a few days, so I can't pay it. I have only raised three million yuan in silver."

After pondering for a moment, Kuixue asked, "Can you get all two million?"

Su Keji hurriedly replied: "There is no problem, it has been agreed that it will take time to mobilize the silver. In another three days, all the silver will be in place."

"That's good." Kuixu nodded slightly. He said, "Hurry to allocate the more than one million in Shaanxi, use the "Four Great Hengs" to transfer tickets and send them quickly. Now he can save one or the other."

After hearing this, Su Keji and others were stunned. What does this mean? What does it mean to save one? Is there no one in Shanxi? The few people stared at Kuixu suspiciously, and after a while, Kuixu said in a deep voice: "Don't be lucky, this person in the city is not an imperial envoy."

It’s not the imperial envoy! Su Keji and his men were immediately confused. Could it be that there are still people who pretend to be fake? It’s impossible. Those who pretend to dare to live in the city? The city guard Qi Mingtang is not an idiot. The governor Su Zhan hesitated and said, “How can you explain this to Master Xiantai?”

After pondering slightly, Kuixue said, "I recognize that military officer is the third-class guard of Prince Dun's mansion, and Prince Dun lives in the city without a doubt."

The person who came was Prince Dun! Su Keji stared at Kuixu with confusion. Wouldn't it be better for Prince Dun to come? Kuixu is the backbone of the Eight Party, and his relationship with Prince Dun must be extraordinary. Why is he so depressed? Then he realized that with this relationship, Prince Dun didn't dare to see Kuixu. What was he afraid of? Or what was he worried about? Realizing this, he immediately looked as if he was ashamed.

In the evening, the governor Su Zhan did not notice Su Keji's abnormality. Seeing that he did not say anything, he asked suspiciously: "How could Prince Dun be the imperial envoy?"

Kui Xu smiled bitterly, but there was no explanation. Not to mention that Yin Yi was open-minded and straightforward, it was not suitable to investigate the case. Just based on his relationship with Yin Yi, Zhenwu would not send Yin Yi to Shanxi? No need to think about it, Zhenwu must have come to Taiyuan in person. Yin Yi asked his guard to come out in disguise, just reminding him in disguise. He actually did not expect that Zhenwu would pay so much attention to this matter and actually arrived in Shanxi himself.

He ignored the few people, looked up at the stars in the night sky, thinking hard about how to deal with the crisis in front of him. Seeing his appearance, the few people dared not disturb him, but he was shocked and suspicious, and even more frightened.

After a while of silence, Kuixue asked in a deep voice: "What's the situation of those prison students?"

Seeing him asking about this, the censor Yue Dai hurriedly replied: "It's okay, you can provide delicious food and drink, but you're not allowed to go out."

Nodded slightly, Kuixue said, "Let me go, comfort me, and give me some money as a plea."

"The emperor is the only one who ordered me to go back home and deal with it." Yue Dai hurriedly bowed.

After pondering slightly, Kuixue said in a deep voice: "As for embezzling disaster relief money and food, I will take it all. Even if you shirk the responsibility to Benxian, what you have to do is to impeach Taiyuan Prefect Zhao Fengzhao's corruption case into an iron case. There must be no flaws and lose money and food. Because the river management project is already a mess, there is no need to be guilty and bite to death, and there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome."

After hearing this, the few people felt relieved, but Su Keji said in a deep voice: "Kaigong, how can you take the blame alone? I am the one who impeached Taiyuan Prefect Zhao Fengzhao's corruption. I will take care of everything."

"You can't bear it, why should you drag you into the water?" Kuixue forced his heart and smiled: "Don't worry, Prince Lian, Prince Dun will plead for me. I have not greedy for money and food. There will be no big deal. It's getting late, so hurry up and arrange it."

Early this morning, the left censor Kuixu, Shanxi Governor Su Keji, governor Su Zhan, censor Yue Dai, Shanxi Academy, Jining Daoist and other officials all rushed to Mancheng to pay homage to Prince Dun Yinyi.

Yinyi met them enthusiastically, talking about Shanxi's customs and interesting official stories, but did not mention Shanxi's disaster relief at all. Although the uninformed officials were confused and felt strange, no one dared to offend the popular prince, so they had to welcome him carefully. Several officials complained secretly. Yinyi made it clear that he delayed time and dragged them all over the city, and he didn't know what was going on now?

Taiyuan City, Shuiximen Street was covered with soldiers with brightly-clad armor, with swords and guns, and a solemn expression. The people along the street were so scared that they dared not go out. They all hid at the door and watched. They didn't know what happened. When they saw a group of soldiers passing by with pheasant feathers in hats, wearing yellow jackets, and riding tall horses, they were wondering, where did the officers and soldiers come from?

At the gate of Shuiximen, at the entrance of the Fan family's courtyard, Fan Yubin, wearing a long robe and a jacket, stood in front of the steps with two housekeepers, frowned slightly, and secretly wondering in his heart, which official was coming to his house to visit early in the morning. A few days ago, Governor Su Keji borrowed 600,000 taels from his Fan family. Isn't that enough?

When he heard a burst of rapid horse hooves, he hurriedly looked at the street entrance. When he saw that the officers and soldiers riding on the horses were all wearing yellow jackets, he couldn't help but feel excited. He was not a grass man who had never seen the world. He could tell at a glance that these people were not ordinary Eight Banners soldiers, but the unique standards of the palace guards. This yellow jacket was not even ordinary first and second-rank officials. Could it be that the emperor came to Taiyuan?

Dachun led a group of guards to stop at the door and looked at Fan Yubin slightly. This man was quite young, probably less than forty years. He was strong, thin and calm, and felt that he didn't look like a businessman, but rather like a martial artist. However, Dachun knew that this man was the grandson of Fan Yongdou, the head of the eight royal families of the Qing Dynasty, and the most outstanding among the five grandsons.

Zhao Fengzhao, the prefect of Taiyuan who accompanied Dachun, spoke at this time and said, "This is the first-class guard in front of the emperor, Dachun, Lord Da, come and pay homage."

After hearing this, Fan Yubin was excited and immediately rushed forward to meet him quickly, kneeling down and said, "Caughter Fan Yubin, please come to see the Lord."

Dachun jumped off the horse, helped him up, and smiled and said, "No need to be polite, please get up quickly."

Seeing Dachun being so polite, Fan Yubin was quite flattered. The adult's top dress was a third-rank official. He didn't expect that he would be so kind. He just didn't know if he was coming to lose the donation. If the emperor came to Taiyuan, the expenses for the welcome were not small. When he stood up, he bowed and gave in and said, "Please, sir."

Several people entered the hall of the second hall, and Dachun stood south and said in a deep voice: "The Emperor has an order."

When Zhao Fengzhao heard the order, he was also stunned and hurriedly bowed to retreat. Fan Yubin had never accepted the order and had no preparation. He couldn't help but feel at a loss for a moment. Dachun glanced at the two of them and said, "Mr. Zhao does not need to avoid it." As he said that, he looked at Fan Yubin and said, "This is the emperor's oral order, so he will do it while kneeling."

After the two knelt down, Da Chun said, "The emperor ordered that the Fan family in Jiexiu, Shanxi, was the leader of the eight imperial merchants. They made contributions to the country. In order to show their kindness, I have visited Taiyuan and stationed in the Fan family, and I will give you two thousand taels of silver."

Now the Emperor Zhenwu wants Your Majesty to be stationed in the Fan family! Fan Yubin couldn't help but be stunned! This is a great grace. With this glory alone, the Fan family is the well-deserved No. 1 in Shanxi! It seems that the Fan family is going to carry forward in his own hands. He couldn't help but feel dizzy. This happiness really came too suddenly.

Zhao Fengzhao heard it and was jealous. Why did the emperor favor the Fan family so much? He glanced at Fan Yubin, who was still stunned, and he couldn't help but reminded softly: "I'm not thanking you yet."

Fan Yubin woke up and kowtowed, "The awesome man Fan Yubin thanked the emperor for his grace."

"The emperor will arrive before noon today." Dachun glanced at the two of them and said, "I am responsible for guarding the guards and can't get away. Lord Zhao seizes the time to teach him the etiquette of seeing him."

The emperor would arrive in Taiyuan before morning? Zhao Fengzhao and Fan Yubin were both stunned when they heard this. How could they prepare for it?
