Save the Bachelor of Heaven

A few days later, Xiang Nan set off for Ganzhou to deal with the grain supervision case.

Su Qinglian went on the road with him. The two rode in the same carriage and faced each other day and night.

Originally, Su Qinglian had a lot of objections to Xiang Nan's bringing down his adoptive father Wang Danwang. After all, Wang Danwang has the kindness of saving her life and raising her.

But after the 4,000-mile journey, Xiang Nan's thoughtfulness and care along the way made it hard for her to keep a straight face every day.

What's more, after entering Ganzhou, Su Qinglian's perception of Wang Danwang changed drastically when he saw the horrific images of empty houses, ruined buildings, and starving people everywhere.

"Mr. Ji, I believe what you said is true." Su Qinglian sighed.

She is not a person without a sense of good and evil. On the contrary, because of her humble background and the fact that she has read so many sage books, her moral sense is much stronger than that of ordinary people.

Before, it was only because Wang Danwang was too kind to her and she didn't know the truth that she misunderstood Xiang Nan. He thinks that Wang Danwang is a good person and Xiang Nan is a bad person.

But now after seeing the truth clearly, her perception of the two of them has completely turned upside down.

"Miss Su don't need to be too sad." Xiang Nan persuaded, "Wang Danwang's selfishness and fraud, crippling the people and enriching themselves, and falling into the end of dismissal and questioning, is completely self-inflicted. With the crimes he committed, killing him a hundred times is not enough. In this way There is no need to feel sorry for him.”

"Having said that, my adoptive father saved me and raised me after all. People are not grass and trees, so no one can be heartless." Su Qinglian sighed, "Although I know he deserved what he deserved, I still can't help but feel sorry for him."

"It's human nature." Xiang Nan nodded, "Actually, Ji is not a villain, and deliberately opposed corrupt officials. It's just that a family is crying all the way.

Get rid of a corrupt official, and the people of a county, a state, and a province can be saved from suffering. So even if he is slandered by rumors and squeezed out by jealousy, Ji is determined to fight those corrupt officials to the end! "

"Mister's mind is admirable." Su Qinglian said moved after hearing this.

Along the way from Hangzhou, she heard many stories about Ji Xiaolan being honest, upright, impartial, pleading for the people, punishing rape and eradicating evil, and her admiration for him grew deeper and deeper.

"Qing Lian was ignorant and insulted Mr., but now I apologize to you." She bowed gracefully again.

"No need, I never blamed you." Xiang Nan stepped forward and helped her up.

With both hands held by Xiang Nan, Su Qinglian couldn't help blushing with shame, but she didn't withdraw her hands in a hurry.

Seeing this, Xiang Nan took the opportunity to hug her into his arms...

...

After arriving in Lanzhou, Xiang Nan first went to the governor's office.

After Wang Danwang was transferred to be the governor of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the post of governor of Ganzhou was temporarily vacant.

Now Xiang Nan came to Lanzhou to handle the case with the imperial decree. In order to facilitate the mobilization of people, Qianlong arranged for him to be the governor of Ganzhou.

Therefore, as soon as he arrived at the Yamen and the imperial decree was revealed, Xiang Nan took over the military and political power of Ganzhou.

After that, he was not in a hurry to investigate the case, but first went to the barracks to meet Du Xiaoyue.

"Sir, why are you here?" Du Xiaoyue asked in surprise when she saw Xiang Nan.

"I'm here to investigate the case." Xiang Nan said with a smile, and briefly explained what happened in Hangzhou.

Hearing that Xiang Nan has arrested Wang Danwang and Wang Tingzan, Du Xiaoyue is both happy and wronged.

"Oh, if I had known this, I would have stayed in Hangzhou to catch corrupt officials with you. It's better than playing with sand here." She said unhappily.

Ever since He Shen lost his first battle and was reprimanded by the emperor, he has become cautious and shy. It has been more than half a month, and the second battle has not yet been fought. It was too boring for her to be bored in the military camp every day.

"Don't worry, I'll investigate the case in Ganzhou soon, and you will be able to catch corrupt officials by then." Xiang Nan laughed.

When Du Xiaoyue heard this, she immediately became excited, "Okay, okay, I finally have a place to play."

...

"By the way, I have to go see Xia Heshen again." Xiang Nan said after talking about parting with Xiaoyue, "I don't expect him to help me catch corrupt officials, but it's best not to make trouble."

"Sir, if you want to see him now, you have to go to prison." Du Xiaoyue laughed.

"Prison?!" Xiang Nan was taken aback, and asked knowingly, "He Shen is in the prison? Who is so bold to arrest him?"

"The man who caught him is called Jin Dayandai, sir, his cigarette pipe is so big that it is comparable to yours." Du Xiaoyue said with a smile, "He played a play with me and took He Shen to prison Here, it has been caught for several days."

"Nonsense! He Shen is an official of the imperial court, a first-rank official, and the commander-in-chief of the three armies. How could he be arrested casually. Who is that golden cigarette bag? How can you mess with him!" Xiang Nanshen scolded.

"Sir, that big golden cigarette bag is amazing. He is a member of the royal family and a descendant of Aixinjueluo. He was originally a prostitute, but after his hat was taken off, he moved to Lanzhou to live." Du Xiaoyue explained , "He said that he was ordered by the emperor to deliberately embarrass Heshen and punish him for his crimes of defeat in the war and ineffective investigation."

"So that's it." Xiang Nan nodded, "This big golden pipe is quite a character. Xiaoyue, please introduce me if you find a chance."

"Well, no problem." Du Xiaoyue smiled, "Actually, he also wants to see you."

"That's right, that's great." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

...

Later, Xiang Nan took Xiaoyue to see Su Qinglian.

"Sir, you are really Fengliu, you got Sister Su too." When Du Xiaoyue saw her, she couldn't help but said sourly.

Su Qinglian felt a little embarrassed when she saw her say that.

"Hey, don't say that, Miss Su and I are friends through poetry." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said with a smile, "Xiaoyue, I still want you to protect me as long as I'm alive."

"Hmph, you're acquainted." Du Xiaoyue said arrogantly, then came to Su Qinglian, smiled and held her hand and said, "Sister Su, the first time I saw you by the West Lake that day, I think you are so beautiful, I have always wanted to recognize you as my sister.

Now finally the dream has come true. From now on, you will serve Mr. with me. You accompany him to write poems, and I help him fight.

There is also a sister Xiangyun in our thatched cottage. Her poems, paintings, and articles are also excellent. Zhi Yanzhai in "A Dream of Red Mansions" is her.

Now with you added, our thatched cottage will be really lively. "

Hearing what she said, Su Qinglian blushed immediately.

But she also knew that it was pretty good for her to have such a result.

Most of the thatched cottages are like-minded people who can talk, write poems, and paint, and feel at ease.

Otherwise, as the daughter of a prisoner, the best ending for her would be to be raised in a foreign house by the emperor and He Shen.

Seemingly well-clothed and well-fed, leisurely and at ease, in fact, he is just a golden bird in a cage, and he will never be free again.
