Young man, just drink and don’t ask any questions. This is a way of revenge and repaying a favor.
Han Daozhou put one hand behind his back, looked at the remaining scenery in the yard, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It is said that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
He waited less than ten years before his opportunity came.
The moment he passed the imperial examination, his identity changed drastically.
Juren only has the qualification of being a candidate for official position, while Jinshi can be appointed as an official immediately after observing government affairs!
What is even more commendable is that the first official position he was granted was the Inspector of Zhejiang Province!
He originally thought that he would have to wait for an opportunity, but now God has sent the opportunity directly to him.
This is to let him avenge his previous shame and take revenge on that despicable villain!
Yes, he admitted that the man had been very caring towards him, and even the tuition was paid by the man on his behalf.
But that's all appearance, it's all for my sister to see!
As soon as his sister died of illness, that guy showed his true colors. Not only did he cut off his supply of money, he also ignored him!
He is such a completely different person. If he is not a despicable and shameless villain, what else could he be?
This beast should be killed!
Thinking about the Han family, a family of scholars, who had fallen on hard times but had to endure such humiliation, he hated it so much that his teeth itched, but there was nothing he could do.
There is no way, he is a commoner and that man is an official.
The people cannot defeat the officials; this is an eternal truth.
From then on, Han Daozhou vowed that one day he would make that man pay the price.
Now, he has waited for the opportunity.
Zhao Ruohai! I'm here for revenge!
From the moment he arrived in Hangzhou, he ordered his men to search for evidence of Zhao Ruohai's crimes. After a thorough search, he was not disappointed!
There are many charges, big and small, listed. If these charges are proven, it will be enough to get Zhao Ruohai dismissed from office.
However, he did not go to Ningbo for inspection immediately because he wanted to scare Zhao Ruohai.
He deliberately leaked the news so that Zhao Ruohai could know it in advance.
Even so, what can you do to me?
Even though I knew that disaster was imminent, I could do nothing about it.
That feeling of powerlessness must be driving people crazy and helpless, right?
He heard that Zhao Ruohai had just been promoted from the magistrate of Dinghai County to the prefect of Ningbo, and had transformed from a seventh-rank official into a fourth-rank official.
It's a pity that he won't be able to wear this scarlet robe for long. Even though Zhao Ruohai is now a fourth-rank official, he can still impeach him as the Inspector-General!
The Inspector General toured the country on behalf of the Emperor, inspecting ministers of the vassal states, prefectures, and counties. He was particularly dedicated to impeaching and impeaching, reporting major matters to the emperor for judgment and making immediate decisions on minor matters. Upon arriving at each location, he would first examine the prisoners, review case files, and investigate any unauthorized entries and exits. He would inspect the walls and vessels of sacrificial altars. He would provide for the orphans and the elderly, inspect warehouses, check the balance of funds and grain, encourage schools, commend the virtuous, and eliminate corrupt officials in order to rectify customs and strengthen public order.
So there is nothing he can't check!
Zhao Ruohai, now you are in my hands, even if you have a thousand tricks, it will be useless.
......
......
"Quick, put the vase over here. Move it over here."
"Hang this painting higher up so it's not blocked by the screen."
"Look at you, you're so clumsy! You can't even hold a brush washer. Hurry up and clean up the broken porcelain pieces. If you prick the censor's foot, I'll pull out your tendons!"
Inside Ru Garden, Zhao Fengyang directed his servants to clean the house thoroughly. Because the house had been unoccupied for a long time, the cleaning was quite difficult. Zhao Fengyang assembled dozens of people, many of whom were government officials.
This was certainly an act of using public power for personal gain, but no one dared to say anything.
After all, in Ningbo Prefecture, it is Prefect Zhao who has the final say.
The yamen runners had to rely on the prefect to survive, and even if they had resentment in their hearts, they had to swallow it.
This garden was originally a gift from a local wealthy merchant to the new prefect, but the prefect had been living in the yamen and had no time to take care of the garden.
Now that I heard that the new Zhejiang Provincial Inspector, Mr. Han, was coming to Ningbo Prefecture for inspection, this garden immediately became useful.
The prefect Zhao Ruohai ordered that Ru Garden be cleared out to serve as Han Yushi's inspection office.
There was a custom in the Ming Dynasty that when the censors were on inspection tours outside, they had to stay in a separate inspection house to demonstrate the fairness of the inspection.
The same was naturally true when Censor Han came to Ningbo.
As an old man who has been with Zhao Ruohai for many years, Zhao Fengyang is very clear about the identity of this Han Yushi.
He understood that his master's former brother-in-law had come here specifically to cause trouble. He was angry and naturally disliked everything he saw.
Under such circumstances, the reception work cannot have any mistakes, and Han Yushi must not be allowed to find any errors.
Fortunately, this Ru Garden is extremely exquisite. Although it is not large overall, it has pavilions, towers, rockery and ponds.
With such a good foundation, as long as the house is properly decorated, people can live in it directly.
God knows when Censor Han will come to Ningbo, so it is better to clean up the house sooner rather than later. The sooner the house is cleaned up, the more relaxed my heart will be.
Zhao Fengyang wiped the sweat off his face with his sleeve and walked out of the house to get some fresh air.
"Oh, it's Master Xu. I'm honored to meet you, Master Xu."
Zhao Fengyang had very sharp eyes. He saw Xu Yan coming from a distance and greeted him with a smile on his face.
My master said that the arrangement of the garden should be decided by Master Xu. He is actually just a runner, and the final decision still depends on Master Xu.
Zhao Fengyang took two steps at a time and went out to meet him, keeping a very humble attitude.
This Mr. Xu is a favorite of his master and his most favored student.
He naturally wanted to please as much as possible.
"Thank you."
Xu Yan walked closer and nodded slightly.
"Look at what you're saying, Master Xu. You're doing this for my master, aren't you? I can't help you in other areas, so if I don't put in some effort in this area, am I still a human being?"
Don’t be fooled by Zhao Fengyang’s flattering face, he is actually speaking the truth.
As a servant of the Zhao family, he and Zhao Ruohai should have a relationship where they share weal and woe.
If Zhao Ruohai was impeached and lost his job, Zhao Fengyang would definitely be in trouble as well.
So Zhao Fengyang definitely hopes that Zhao Ruohai can survive this disaster.
The two of them walked a few steps and came to the front of the main room. Zhao Fengyang bent his waist very low, moved away and stretched out one arm.
"Mr. Xu, please!"
Xu Yan was not polite at all. He flicked his sleeves and walked into the house.
He looked around and found that everything that should be in the room was almost in place.
"You did a great job, but why isn't there anything I want in this room?"
Zhao Fengyang explained with a bitter face, "Master Xu, your order is urgent, so even if you pass it on, it must be done immediately, right? But don't worry, it will be completed within two days."
Xu Yan nodded slightly: "That's good."
Two days should be enough. Han Daozhou wants to leave Zhao Ruohai alone, so he shouldn't rush here.
