He Heng insisted on going to the Jiangnan Camp to serve. Huang Zhongyin and Ji Yunfei felt that it was inappropriate, but they could not stop others' future, so they could only let him go. He never thought that as soon as He Heng left, all his fellow villagers in Beijing could not sit still, and they all wanted to go to Jiangnan to make achievements.

Xiang Rong's subordinates have already promoted a group of Sichuan military officers. If they support them like Xue Huan and Liu Cunhou, wouldn't they form cliques and private affairs? Huang Zhongyin doesn't want to help this anymore, and he doesn't want to cause trouble for Xiang Rong. He has not come to the guild hall again for more than half a month. Ji Yunfei is the same, and only Shuji Shi Ao Cexian, who is idle in the Hanlin Academy, returns to the guild hall from time to time to check.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I walked into the guild hall, I saw Huang Zhongyin and Ji Yunfei, who had not been here for more than half a month, sitting in the flower hall while roasting the fire, and looking at the look that they were talking about something was not a good thing.

"How come you two have time to come to the guild hall today? What are you talking about?" Ao Cexian couldn't help asking.

"You are here just in time, we are talking about the things we do."

"What's wrong with Zhixing?"

"First, he was jointly written by Jillhanga and Yang Nengge, and then he was impeached by Yang Nengge's in the same year. Your brother went to find out the news and would probably come back later." Huang Zhongyin had long expected that Yang Nengge would not give Han Si a good life, but he did not expect that this day would come so quickly, move so hard, and impeachment was so fierce.

Ao Cexian was shocked and asked anxiously: "How did he impeach Zhixing?"

"It is a great task to fabricate slanderous accusation. It not only accepts bribes from Wu Jianzhang who has been dismissed from Susong, but also runs to get rid of Wu Jianzhang. It also accepts bribes from foreigners and colludes with foreigners to corruption and taxes. It falsely accuses Zhixing of buying real estate in his place, and even falsely accusing Zhixing of admiring foreigners and fascinating foreigners, which will harm the national system."

Looking at Ao Cexian's surprised look, Huang Zhongyin continued: "After eating the foreigner's banquet, Zhixing actually took the foreigner's umbrella to shelter from the rain. He said that the rain was small, and the loss of morals was great. Even if he was soaked and frozen to death, he would not be a foreigner's umbrella. He said that Zhixing saw the woman in the English country stand up without permission, and the dignified official of the Celestial Empire pay tribute to the young woman!"

"So the person named Yang listed six charges for Zhixing?"

"It's more than six items, but there are more than a dozen charges of all sizes, such as Zhixing drinking foreign tea, using foreign soap, and lighting foreign fire, and everything is imitating what foreigners do. His people followed the same year and some even falsely accused Zhixing of having two intentions in England and wanting to surrender to England!"

"What the emperor said?" Ao Cexian asked anxiously.

Ji Yunfei smiled bitterly and said, "I will be dismissed from office and arrested for questioning. I will submit it to the Ministry of Justice after it is found out."

"So, I want Zhixing to be punished by the capital?"

"This is not the case. The emperor just issued an edict in the morning, ordering the acting governor of Jiangsu Xu Naizhao and the new governor of Songjiang Qiao Songnian to investigate and deal with it nearby."

"The co-minister of Zhixing and the supervisor of Jiang Customs was originally recommended by Xu Naizhao and Qiao Songnian. Now the emperor asked Xu Naizhao and Qiao Songnian to investigate Zhixing. This... what's the matter? Even if Zhixing was found to be wronged, Jierhanga and Yang Nengge would not give up, and their classmates in Beijing would not be the same year."

"In the eyes of the emperor, Zhixing's official was recommended by Yiliang, the governor of Liangjiang. It has little to do with Xu Naizhao, and has nothing to do with Qiao Songnian. Moreover, it is purely a temporary measure to let Zhixing act as the co-magistrate of the coastal defense of Songjiang Prefecture and the supervision of Jiang Customs. After all, Zhixing was only the only official in Shanghai at that time. There was no one who Zhixing was. Now who would protect Zhixing now." Ji Yunfei thought about it and said coldly: "Yang Nengge must have asked Xu Naizhao and Qiao Songnian to investigate Zhixing, and he didn't expect Zhixing and Qiao Songnian to have a friendship."

"Will there be no trouble for Zhixing to say so?"

Huang Zhongyin took over the conversation and said helplessly: "There will be no big deal, but it is not that easy to restore the position."

"What should I do?"

"At this point, I can only write a letter to Guo Peilin immediately, asking him to ask the court to transfer Zhixing to Jiangbei camp to serve. Anyway, Shanghai can't stay anymore. Although there is Xiang Rong there, Xiang Rong can protect others but cannot protect him. After all, Zhixing, Xue Huan, Liu Cunhou and others are different."

"What's the difference?" Ao Cexian asked in confusion.

"Because Zhixing is not only a civil servant, but also a local official who has made military achievements. His relationship with the local officials is intricate. Unlike Xue Huan and Liu Cunhou, he has no foundation in the local area and has no intersection with local officials."

Ao Cexian thought about it and asked again: "Mr. Huang, do you think Mr. Guo can submit a memorial to protect his fortune at this time?"

Huang Zhongyin said in a positive tone: "I know Guo Peilin's character best, but he will not sit idly by. But if he comes to Zhixing, he will have to go back to Taizhou, and he will not be able to return to his hometown for a while."

"I don't care about so much. Now, it's important to save your life first."

"That's right, write a letter quickly and write a letter for Li Shengchang's Xiao Wuzi to come. Xiao Wuzi has been to Taizhou and Shanghai. Only Xiao Wuzi can do this."

"Okay, I'll write a letter to Guo Peilin."

...

Han Xiufeng received the news on November 28th, and he only knew it when he knelt down at the imperial envoy and listened to Xu Naizhao's reading of the emperor's decree. Jierhanga came, and Yang Nengge also came, one had a expressionless face and the other had a gloomy face, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.

Xu Naizhao was not as satisfied with Han Xiufeng's negotiations with foreigners for so long and not having a result, but he never thought of dismissing Han Xiufeng's official position, nor did he think about investigating Han Xiufeng's investigation. Although he did not receive any other instructions except this edict, he knew very well that the reason why Han Xiufeng fell into such a field must be that he could not explain to the court Yang Nengge, who said coldly: "Come on, pick Han Xiufeng's top-up feather!"

"Yeah!" The two Goshhas responded, probably because they felt it was troublesome to take off the top and wear the flower feather, so they simply took off Han Xiufeng's official hat.

"Han Xiufeng, do you know your guilt?" Xu Naizhao asked coldly again.

"Reported to Master Futai, the subordinates are incompetent and ineffective in their work, and the subordinates are willing to be punished. However, they dare not admit any of the other charges, and the subordinates are unjustly accused!"

"You still dare to argue whether it is wrong. If you check it out, the truth will come out. The person who came to arrest the criminal Han Xiufeng and then interrogate him in detail when the Songjiang Mansion arrives!"

"Yeah!"

Xu Naizhao was very strict with Han Xiufeng on the surface, but in fact he hated Yang Nengge. After all, everyone knew that Han Xiufeng was able to be the co-magistrate of the coastal defense of Songjiang Prefecture and the supervision of Jiang Customs. Moreover, Han Xiufeng was investigated and was indeed unfair. When his personal soldiers put Han Xiufeng out of the lobby, they turned around and said lightly: "Brother Jian, Han Xiufeng has been dismissed now and will be investigated next. The supervision of Jiang Customs can only trouble Brother Jian as usual, and he will be bothered by the matters of negotiations with foreigners."

"Report to the Chief Secretary, as far as the officials know, the National Taiwan Master has ordered someone to take charge of Jiang Customs."

"Isn't this not taking office? Before the new supervisor takes office, I can only worry about Brother Jian Hou when he is in charge of the customs affairs."

Yang Nengge thought to himself that it was just a customs office. At worst, he could arrange a few family members to watch the Huangpu River. As for negotiating with foreigners, he could have the same official documents as before, so he simply bowed and said, "The official should take the order."

Xu Naizhao couldn't understand why Jierhanga was involved in this matter, so he simply stopped thinking about it and used the excuse of siege and leaving the two of them and leaving. Jierhanga looked at his back and smiled, and took his personal soldiers away.

Both of his immediate bosses left, so naturally Yang Nengge would not stay in the headquarters for a long time. When he walked to the door, he found that Han Xiufeng, who should have been locked up in prison, was sitting by the river fishing, and several of Xu Naizhao's family members were standing by the side to serve him.

"What are you doing?" Yang Nengge subconsciously stopped and asked.

A family member who had been instructed by Xu Naizhao hurriedly trotted up and bowed, "Report to Lord Yang, the headquarters not only has no cell, but also has no empty room. The young man originally planned to ask Mr. Han to go back first and go to summon him when Qiao Mansion arrived, but Mr. Han said that he was guilty and could not leave, so the young man could only accompany Mr. Han to fish and pass the time."

Yang Nengge never expected that the emperor would ask Xu Naizhao and Qiao Songnian to investigate Han Xiufeng. The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, he snorted coldly, walked to the sedan chair and prepared to go home.

Han Xiufeng suddenly stood up, looked back at him and smiled, "Please stay, Lord Yang."

"What's wrong with you?"

"Report to Lord Yang, I just heard these people say that Lord Xu asked you to handle customs affairs, so the criminal officer will naturally hand over to you."

"What's the best way to hand over?" Yang Nengge asked unhappily.

"All accounts must always be handed over, otherwise there will be an additional charge of embezzlement of taxes."

Looking at Han Xiufeng's fearless look, Yang Nengge was so angry that he was itchy and said with a stern face: "Han Xiufeng, if you don't know what you want, you know what you do. Don't think that Lord Xu and Qiao Songnian can protect you!"

"I, Han Xiufeng, are upright and honest. Lord Yang, you are involved in my crimes. There is no need for Lord Xu and Qiao Futaibao."

"you……"

"Don't worry, Lord Yang, not only does I, Han Xiufeng, not only does not hold a grudge against you, but also is very grateful to you, because I don't want to be an official anymore. If you didn't help me, how could I be as light as I am now." After that, Han Xiufeng actually dusted his sleeves and bowed.

Yang Nengge suddenly felt a little regretful and said coldly for a moment: "What a good thing is that there is, there is, there is no, but we will wait and see if there is or not."

"It's a problem for Lord Yang."

As he was talking, the sound of gunfire sounded again. I wonder if it was Hu Songlin who was sieging the city or Xue Huan, and Liu Cunhou started siege again.

Watching Yang Nengge who was getting into the sedan chair, Xu Naizhao's family came over and said hatefully: "Master Han, he is just a mad dog who catches and bites. Keep your heart in your stomach. My master will never be fooled by him, let alone do the things that your relatives will feel sorry for your enemies."

Han Xiufeng turned around and stared at Xu Naizhao's family for a long time, and said solemnly: "Xu Sanfu, I actually have nothing to worry about myself, but I am a little worried about your master."

"Master Han, are you saying that the impeachment of Yang by your name is the drunkard? "

"Not this, after all, why is this governor not his turn to Yang Nengge to do it? In order to protect himself, he actually pulled Lord Jierhanga to impeach me, and Lord Jierhanga actually agreed. Don't you find it strange?"

Xu Sanfu suddenly reacted and said in shock: "Master Han, you can catch it first. I have to go find my master and remind my master as soon as possible."

Han Xiufeng grabbed his arm: "I can even think of it, your master, now it depends on whether this city can be captured. If he can't conquer it for a long time, he will definitely put down the wrong person. After all, he has no turning back. Since he has been in the first day of the lunar calendar, he can only bite the bullet and do the fifteenth."

"So he can do anything to protect himself. He is not afraid of offending others, and he will not even care about other people's lives or death!"
