Chapter 276 My husband has urgent business, and must rush back day and night
"Master Dai, what's wrong?" Seeing that he was trying to stop him from leaving the city, Yang Biao got out of the car and stood on the shaft to look at him. He had actually forgotten about him these past two days, but it was good that he was here, so he didn't have to send anyone to look for him.
"Governor, you probably have some unfinished business here, right?" He had carefully planned for such a long time, and yet he wanted to just gloss over Wu Ruoyi's matter. What a wishful thinking!
"Oh, I didn't know that I still had things to do in Beigao Prefecture. Do I need you, the prefect, to remind me?" This man was quite bold. I didn't care about his calculations, but he still dared to glare at me.
"Your Excellency the Governor is very busy, so it is understandable that he has forgotten. But do you still remember what happened at Beichun Bookstore?" Dai Xuming looked around and warned in a low voice.
"Oh, so what? Who are you?" Damn, he's really nosy. The person involved didn't say anything, but he showed up and acted like a clown.
"As the saying goes, if the road is uneven, someone will shovel it; if things are unfair, someone will take care of it. I will take care of what happened that day!" Seeing that he brought a small number of people, less than twenty people, Dai Xuming decided to detain him in Beigao Mansion.
"I'd like to see if you have the ability to take care of it." Seeing his intention, Yang Biao sneered.
"You all come together, just leave him alive, kill all the others." Dai Xuming gestured behind him. As long as he was alive, the court would not send a new Governor of the North to take office.
The two groups started fighting in an instant. When the ordinary people who were preparing to leave the city gate saw this, they were so scared that they ran back into the city. After only a few days of peace, fighting broke out in the streets again.
Gui Wenbin and his eleven men were able to defeat a hundred of them at once. How could Dai Xuming's sixty-plus private soldiers be their match? Soon they were beaten and lay on the ground, screaming “Ouch, Ouch!”
"Husband, please don't kill him!" Xia Weiwei, who was sitting in the car, was afraid that he would get angry and kill local officials privately, which would definitely cause a stir in the court.
"Madam, when have I ever broken my promise to you?" Yang Biao got out of the car and walked in front of Dai Xuming.
"What... do... you want to do?" Dai Xuming was trembling with fear as his men were beaten to the ground.
"Madam, please go to the Sang County Posthouse in front and wait for your husband." Yang Biao unloaded Dai Xuming's carriage, led the horse and rode on, signaling Gui Wenbin to tie him up.
"Dai Xuming, you are guilty of corruption and abuse of power, and the evidence is solid. I will arrest you today and send you to the capital for trial. All your property will be confiscated!" Yang Biao returned to the Beigao government office, announced his crimes in public, and ordered He Kuang to lead troops to raid his house.
"I don't want to know who among you has committed corruption, accepted bribes, or robbed others. As long as you return the things, I will forgive you for what you did!"
There are no fish in clear water. Under the strong suppression of Xiang Honglin and others, the officials who have survived to the present have more or less some economic problems. As long as they spit out what they have eaten, he will turn a blind eye and let them go as if nothing happened.
"Jiang Sheng, you stay in Beigao Prefecture and maintain public security." As soon as Jiang Sheng came back with Xia Weiwei, Yang Biao asked him to investigate the tenure of officials in Beigao Prefecture and found out that Dai Xuming had embezzled more money than Wei Yangke, the prefect.
"Zheng Junyuan is appointed as the acting prefect of Beigao Prefecture, and Lu Bowen is appointed as the acting governor." Yang Biao promoted the people who had been demoted by Wei Yangke to the top two in command of Beigao Prefecture, wrote the appointment documents, and stamped them with the official seal of the Northern Governor.
"You should govern Beigao Prefecture well and never break the law knowingly." He handed two appointment documents to the two people respectively and gave them earnest instructions.
"Yes, sir!" The two men bowed to him to express their gratitude for his promotion.
"Nowadays, Beigao Prefecture is in a state of disrepair and has a lot of official business to deal with. You guys should get to work first." Yang Biao waved his hand. The prefect's official seal is in the government office, and the prefect's official seal will be given to Lu Bowen after Dai Xuming's house is raided.
"Master Ren, find someone to deliver the memorial to the Ministry of Public Security." Jiang Sheng found out that Ren Xuemin was a scholar who had failed the imperial examinations many times and had never done anything harmful. He followed Wei Yangke only to support his family.
Since he was not an unforgivable bad guy and was familiar with the household registration, fields, houses and real estate of Beigao Prefecture, Yang Biao made him the chief clerk.
"Madam, you must be getting impatient, right?" After Yang Biao finished dealing with the affairs of Beigao Mansion, it was already late, so he hurriedly took his men to catch up with her car, but found that she had already put on her clothes.
"What's wrong?" Seeing him staring at her clothes, she couldn't help but laugh in her heart, "Do you think I don't look good in this dress, my husband?"
"No, have you eaten?" Seeing that she was pretending to be stupid, Yang Biao got off the horse, then got into the car and pulled her to his side.
"Mom, Zhuo Qiu is hungry!" The two were about to kiss when Zhuo Qiu's voice came from outside the car.
"Oh, Mom will take you to the restaurant for dinner." Xia Weiwei quickly pushed him away and got out of the car to pick up the child.
"We'll go ahead. Lu Xi, Tian Rui, Xie Chen, the three of you quickly go to the three restaurants to pack food and catch up with us."
Yang Biao stopped the mother and son from going to the restaurant for dinner. They were delayed for a long time by Dai Xuming, so they now had to continue on their journey.
"Hongling, get some crispy meat for the young master to fill his stomach." Xia Weiwei had no choice but to hand the child to Shi Rui and got into the car with an unhappy heart.
"Madam, your husband has urgent business and must rush back day and night." Yang Biao knew that she was unhappy and immediately explained the situation to her.
As the Governor of the North, he was in charge of the civil affairs, civil administration, military affairs, criminal justice, customs duties, and grain transport administration of the six prefectures.
He really had a lot of things to deal with, and was afraid that Xia Weiwei and the child would be retaliated against, so he had to send the mother and her two children to Qianpu Prefecture as soon as possible so that he could govern with peace of mind, such as reducing the burden on farmers by reducing taxes and labor service.
"Husband, we can't stay here." The car has three curtains, a door curtain and two side curtains. If the wind blows, the curtains will be blown up, and the scenery inside will be exposed to outsiders.
"It doesn't matter. I have covered it with a blanket so no one else can see it."
Yang Biao thought that if he returned to Qianpu Prefecture to deal with the affairs of Liufu City, they would not have as much time to spend together as they did now, so he insisted on exercising in the car. She had no choice but to agree to him timidly.
"Master, we've arrived in Sang County!" Gui Wenbin selectively ignored the movement in the car and reported to him.
"Okay, let's go to the inn." Yang Biao hurriedly helped her put on her clothes, and then folded the quilt. Seeing her mixed feelings of joy and shyness, she probably hasn't gotten over it yet.
"My dear, why don't you go to the posthouse?" When we were at the gate of Beigaofu, didn't he tell me to wait for him at the Sangxian Posthouse? This time he said he wanted to go to the inn again.
Seeing him looking at her with a bright and touching smile, Xia Weiwei quickly lowered her head.
"Boss, do you think we can succeed?" Yang Biao and his wife released their deepest emotions in the inn again and again until they heard the door opening in the next room.
