Huang Governor came out to appease the people, saying that he would arrest the crimes of Zou and Xie families to the end and punish them severely. All the land occupied by the villagers would be returned. He also said that Zhou Xuan, the Marquis of Xinzhou, came to eradicate the stubbornness and make the decision for the people according to the emperor's will.

Thousands of people gathered in front of the state yamen station were cheering and shouting: "The Emperor Shengming, Hou Yingming of Xinzhou, and Lord Huang Weiming—"

Zhou Xuan told the people to be quiet and said loudly: "Friends, you can tell the evil deeds of Zou and Xie Er family over the years. Don't be afraid. Tell them all. I promise you that the case will be settled before the Dragon Boat Festival. The crimes of Zou and Xie Er family will be announced one by one. After the corrupt officials and bullies are eliminated, the villagers can race dragon boats quickly to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival!"

After the cheers, dozens of people came forward crying and wanted to accuse Zou and Xie families of evil deeds. Zhou Xuan ordered the governor Huang to arrange for the clerk to receive the clerk and record the transcript.

Zhou Xuan was listening for a while and was so angry that he was so angry that the magistrate of Zou County was both hungry ghosts. He not only occupied the land of the villagers, but also raped the villagers' wives and daughters. He did a lot of despicable things. The casino of the Xie family Shihu even caused many families to be destroyed. The gambler who had rolled dice and won 800 taels of silver at the Xie family casino was mysteriously missing. At this time, the truth was revealed. According to the confession of the eight bandits, they were indeed killed by brown sugar and were buried under the bushes on the side of the road.

Many of the evil deeds of the Zou and Xie families involved the Huang Governor, mainly inaction and ignored the people's grievances. The Eight Tigers of the Xie family also made their promises and wanted to drag the Huang Governor into the water. They said that the silver given to the Huang Governor every year in recent years was more than 10,000 taels. In the past five years, the Huang Governor received at least 60,000 taels of silver.

The clerk in charge of recording is holding a pen, but he doesn’t know whether to remember or not?

Superintendent Huang was sitting on pins and needles, and he secretly saw Zhou Xuan's reaction.

Zhou Xuan said calmly: "Record truthfully." He bowed to Governor Huang: "Mr. Huang, let me speak with you."

Governor Huang followed Zhou Xuan to the side hall of the Criminal Prison Office with a nervous worries, knelt down "stop" and said sarcastically: "The official is guilty. Please read the official to sincerely repent, and let the official go to the net."

Zhou Xuan didn't ask him to get up and said, "Mr. Huang, from the moment you seem to have not been involved in the death murder, otherwise it would be difficult for me to protect you-"

Governor Huang kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Marquis! Thank you, Marquis!"

Zhou Xuan said: "But you received tens of thousands of taels of bribes. Shangrao Yongfeng is so chaotic. You really can't help but feel guilty. You may not be able to continue this Xinzhou Governor!"

"Yes, yes." Huang Tushi was sweating on his forehead.

Zhou Xuan said: "Let's do this, you will be the governor of Xinzhou for the time being. When I return to Beijing, I will report to Your Majesty, and work with my disciples, the Secretary of the Central Committee and the Ministry of Personnel to review it. Let's see what the final result is?"

Governor Huang was shocked and begged: "Mr. Marquis, once this matter arrives in the capital, the criminal will definitely be punished by death. The house is confiscated and the wife and daughter are slaves. It is tragic. I beg the Marquis to save me!"

Zhou Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Huang, I know you are sincerely repenting. I will give you a chance to hand over the 50,000 bribes you received within three days. I will write two resignations to the Zhaowu Protectorate and the Ministry of Personnel. I will resign because I am in poor health and want to return home. In addition, cooperate with Judge Fan to investigate Zou and Xie cases clearly, which is also considered to be a good thing for the people of Xinzhou."

Governor Huang was ashamed and regretful, and repeatedly said, "Thank you the Marquis to be kind, and the minister must do what the Marquis wants."

Although Governor Huang lost his official position and had to pay 50,000 taels of silver, he finally survived this disaster. Resignation is very different from being dismissed for crimes. After resigning, he will have a salary for the court every year. He is still a famous gentry when he returns to his hometown. If he is dismissed, his reputation will be broken. This reputation is very important!

Therefore, Huang was grateful to Zhou Xuan and immediately investigated Zou and Xie Da case, and arrested all the three sons of Zou County Magistrate, one of whom was still broken in his leg and recovered from injury. He also arrested all the lackeys of the Xie family. On May 2nd, forty-three criminals were arrested, and more than ten casinos in the county were closed. All the property of Zou and Xie families was sealed and waited for treatment.

That night, it rained heavily in Shangrao County. The people of Xinzhou said that this was a good rain, which cleaned up the dirt and made the world of Yongfeng in Shangrao.

Zhou Xuan and Sanchi and Lai Fu returned to the county yamen room at night. Lin Ning came over and whispered: "Master, Xiahou Liusu just left the state yamen alone to Pingkangfang, the fireworks land——"

Zhou Xuan smiled and asked, "Are you back?"

Lin Ning said: "I entered a brothel and came out in half a cup of tea. Can the owner know the name of the brothel?"

Zhou Xuan glanced at Sanchi and smiled and said, "I am as clean as the third brother, and the one I am most unfamiliar with is brothels."

Lin Ning glanced at Sanchi and said, "Master, don't joke. The brothel that Xiahou Liusu entered is called 'Mingyulou'?"

"Mingyu Tower?" Zhou Xuan was a little surprised. Xiahou Liusu was the name of "Mingyu Tower" in Xuanzhou. Unexpectedly, there was also "Mingyu Tower" in Xinzhou. He asked: "What else did the third sister-in-law find out?"

Lin Ning smiled and said, "I didn't go in Mingyulou, but I just heard the conversation between Xiahou Liusu and her maid. Xiahou Liusu was eager to seduce his master, but the master was busy these two days."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "It seems that I have to give her a chance. This girl is really stupid. I have to create opportunities for her. Oh, it's annoying!"

Sanchi said: "There are Mingyu Towers in all prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty. They should be the eyes and ears of Qingyuan people, and they are controlled behind the scenes by Mr. Lianchang—"

Lin Ning raised his eyebrows and asked, "Third Brother, how do you know so clearly? You know that there are Mingyulou in all prefectures and counties in the Tang Dynasty?"

Sanchi quickly explained: "I have traveled all over the world and have seen more."

"Just just see the girl in Mingyu Tower?" Lin Ning was jealous.

Zhou Xuan saw that something was wrong and hurriedly said, "The third brother practices the boy skills. If I hadn't met you, the third sister-in-law, the third brother was going to be as handsome as a jade for the rest of his life-"

Zhou Xuan thought he was talking very stingy, but he didn't expect Sanchi to be even more stingy and said, "The master is right. When I see Aning, I can't help but feel in love--"

Zhou Xuan couldn't bear it, so he quickly let the couple enter the room, spoke softly, and hid in the quilt and talked.

It was late at night, and the lights were still on in the room of the Lin sisters. Zhou Xuan didn’t go to report and both of his sisters couldn’t sleep. Zhou Xuan went to talk for a while. Fairy Jingyi asked, “Brother Xuan, when will we set off for a trip back to Jiangzhou?”

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Sister Daoyun misses home? I miss home too. After the Dragon Boat Festival, we will set off and go to Jiangzhou through Hongzhou. His Royal Highness should still be in Hongzhou. He always has to meet him. Including all the delays, we will definitely arrive in Jiangzhou before May 20th. Isn't the wedding date of Lin Duo brothers May 28th? It's too late."

The fairy of the Shizuka family said "yes".

Lin Hanyun said: "My sister is saying that you want to deal with the Zou and Xie cases again, and you also need to rebuild the Tea God Temple, Lu Yuquan, and Xinzhou for a lot of things. How can you get rid of yourself in three days?"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Do you want me to do everything yourself? Wouldn't that make me, Grand Secretary Zhou, exhausted! I will arrange for someone to do those things, don't worry, I will set off after the Dragon Boat Festival. If it doesn't rain tomorrow, we will go boating and playing."

Lin Hanyun was happy and said, "Then I want to go to bed quickly. It will be tomorrow when I wake up."

Zhou Xuan and Fairy Jingyi both laughed.

Zhou Xuan said good night to the Lin sisters, and went to the bathroom to take a bath. Xiaoqian was yawning and waiting. After the bath, Xiaoqian had to wash Zhou Xuan's clothes. Zhou Xuan said: "Qunnel, it's the third update in the middle of the night. Let's wash it tomorrow."

The little girl said: "I will feel at ease when I finish today's work today - my son-in-law, this is what Miss Que'er said." As she said that, she held the wooden basin and went to the patio on the left. There was a well in the patio and a bluestone slab beside the well for washing clothes.

Zhou Xuan had just taken a shower and was refreshed and couldn't sleep even when he returned to the room. He talked to Xiao Xuxiang while following her to the well.

The heavy rain kept falling, and the water in the well was almost overflowing from the well. Four lanterns under the eaves shone on it. The water surface in the well was knocked out by raindrops, and then the bubbles were swirling and swirling.

Zhou Xuan helped Xiaoqian pick up a large bucket of water from the well in the rain, jumped back to the eaves quickly, and laughed.

While scrubbing the clothes, Xiaoqian turned his head to look at Zhou Xuan and said in a daze: "Son-in-law, you are so nice!"

Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "The little girl will not fall in love with me, should she be in custody and steal? My buddy is not such a casual person." He said: "It's not that good to be careless."

Xiao Xun asked: "Son-in-law, do you miss Miss Que'er? And Miss Zin'er?"

"Think of it." Zhou Xuan said: "I'll see them in more than ten days, I'm really looking forward to it."

Xiaoqian said "Yeah" and said, "Xiaoqian was worried that the son-in-law would have a little flirting, Miss Lin Er, what other princesses would change her mind--"

Zhou Xuan quickly said, "Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense, Yang Xiaopin is the case, but what does it have to do with Miss Lin Er and Princess Qingle?"

Xiaoqian showed a smile of "I know everything" and said, "Son-in-law, you and Miss Lin Er kissed Xiaoqian in the carriage with your own eyes-"

"Ah!" Zhou Xuan quickly held the corridor pillar, afraid that he would fall, his face felt hot, and his skin still couldn't be mastered.

Xiao Xuxiang continued, "So, Miss Lin Er must marry you, Ms. Lin Er said that she would not marry or not, and she would definitely marry in the end, and there would be a princess--"

Clove is too sharp, and Zhou Xuan cannot argue about Lin Hanyun's affairs, but when it comes to the princess, he is brave and asks, "What's wrong with the princess? What have you seen again?"

Xiao Xun's next sentence made Zhou Xuan a little angry. The little girl covered her mouth with her wrist and said with a smile: "Xiao Xun saw the son-in-law painting the princess's body."

"Ah--you, you, Xiaoxiang, you are a spy!"

Zhou Xuan's words were incoherent, and it really fulfilled the saying - if you don't know, unless you don't do it yourself, he only painted for Princess Qingle once in "Youmeng Xiaozhu". How could this little girl see it? God, it's a pity that this girl doesn't become a spy, and how could Xiahou Liusu compare to her!

Zhou Xuan did not expect that Xiahou Liusu was outside the side hall, listening to his master and maid gossip, Xiahou Liusu knew about Miss Lin Er and Zhou Xuan's mistress in the carriage, otherwise she would be too incompetent, but she never expected that Zhou Xuan had an affair with the Princess of Tang. Is this a useful top-secret news? Should I report to Mr. Lianchang? Somehow, Xiahou Liusu felt very uncomfortable.

Xiaoqian "Prince" smiled and said, "Fennel is not a spy, Xiaoqian just happened to hit him. My son-in-law is a little bit flirting with her. However, Xiaoqian is very relieved now. Although my son-in-law has become a high-ranking official and has seen a more beautiful girl than Miss Que'er, my son-in-law will not change his mind--"

Zhou Xuan asked angrily and amusedly: "How can I see it?"

Xiaoqian said: "My sister-in-law will bring water to Xiaoqian. In the old house in Jiulianfang, my sister-in-law also brought water to Xiaoqian, so my sister-in-law has not changed and will not change her mind."

"Oh, so that's it!" Zhou Xuan said in his heart: "You girls are really good at seeing the big ones from the small. You recognize someone from a bucket of water. I just let it go. Hehe, in Tang State, it's not illegal to marry a few more wives, why should I change my mind?" He said: "Of course, my son-in-law has a strong character and has been tried for a long time-" Suddenly, something touched the wall with a "click" outside, and turned around and asked, "Who is it?"

Someone replied: "Young master, it's me, Liusu."

Another voice said: "Young Master, and I, the fish."

The master and maid Xiahou Liusu walked in. Xiahou Liusu held an umbrella and the little maid Yuer held a wooden basin on his side. They also came to join in the fun. When they were washing clothes, they had to wash the maids who had no laundry on their own, but choosing to wash them at this time was obviously an ulterior motive.
