In March, the grass grows and the birds fly, which is the best time in Jiangnan.

The chaos and war disaster last year have long passed, and the people have lived and worked in peace again. In the fields, farmers who are working hard can be seen everywhere, and the towns are full of vitality. Craftsmen are busy working, merchants and vendors are shouting their own goods, and on the streets, there are many tourists wandering around, stopping and watching with some shouts, or buying some favorite goods with money.

Among them, the most eye-catching one is the idle children who sell a newspaper on the street and sell a newspaper to those who come and go. They all opened their voices and sang the contents of the newspaper together: "Let's take a look, hey, hey, the new Zongheng newspaper... Here are the big and small things in Jiangnan since this year, and all kinds of interesting stories in the capital... How did Bao Qingtian break the heart-wrenching case of killing his wife and destroying his children? What kind of vision does the court have? Don't bother to inquire with others, just look at my Zongheng newspaper, you can understand all this well..."

When this unique shout of newspaper selling was indeed aroused by many people in Yangzhou City when they first came out, but after this month, everyone got used to it. Although it still attracted everyone's attention, there was no discussion anymore.

However, many people were still attracted by it. They couldn't help but go up and take out a few copper coins and buy a new newspaper to watch it. Originally, everyone had a curiosity, not to mention that this newspaper is a new thing and is not expensive. In addition, the literary style in Jiangnan is more prosperous than in the capital, so there are naturally more people who buy newspapers and read newspapers.

So, the newly printed newspaper was just released early this morning before noon, and the newly printed 20,000 to 30,000 newspapers were swept away. The idle Chinese people rushed back even more happily. After paying the money, they could get a considerable salary. This was much easier to make than when they were ordinary working.

As for Zongheng Bookstore, it can only be considered a balance between income and expenditure until today, but the shopkeepers here are quite calm because those bosses have already informed them. They have not wanted to make money through newspapers for at least two or three months. They have to wait until Zongheng's registration is completely opened so that they can double the money they spent through other methods.

Of course, not everyone will believe this statement. For example, Xie Cai, who was ordered by the head of the family to check the accounts, rushed back worriedly after checking the account book last month, and then reported to Xie Wenbin: "Master, the business of this bookstore has not improved yet. Is there something wrong with it?"

Xie Wenbin didn't care after hearing this: "Just just reconcile the accounts, you don't have to worry about the rest."

"But Master, I think we took out a lot of money to invest in the bookstore. Is this Prefect Li really reliable?" Xie Cai was also decisive and loyal to his family. At this time, he plucked up his courage and added.

Xie Wenbin glanced at him: "The head of the family has his own opinions on this matter, don't worry."

Seeing that the master's face turned a little gloomy, Xie Cai did not dare to say anything else. After saying so, he left the door. As a result, a servant rushed in in a hurry: "Master, I have a Jinling urgent letter." As he said that, he submitted the letter. Xie Wenbin took it and opened it without hesitation. He just glanced at it, his face changed again. He immediately put down the book in his hand, stood up, and went out. He had to let his brother know about such a big thing immediately.

A moment later, the letter had fallen into Xie Wenruo's hands. After reading the content of the letter, his expression became extremely solemn: "It's so fast. It's only a few months before he has replaced a chief official and the governor of Jiangnan. It seems that the people in the court have spent a lot of effort this time."

The content of the letter was extremely serious for Jiangnan. Just a few days ago, an imperial envoy in the capital went straight to Jinling and issued an order to remove Wen Ming from the position of governor of Jiangnan. He arrived in Beijing within half a month and waited for the next step of his career.

Although Wen Ming's previous policy of re-compiling the civil book did not satisfy the Xie family, when he knew that he had ended up like this, Xie Wenruo was still moved and sighed: "What a pity. Wen Ming is a good official, with talent and ethics. Although he is a little stubborn, he is one of the few good officials in Jiangnan.

"However, if you make a mistake, there is no possibility of making up for it. He offended too many people. Even if we have no intention of being enemies with it, there are still people in the court and the people who don't want him to do anything. In this way, you prepare some gifts and send them to Jinling as soon as possible, even if my Xie family's last wish for him."

"Yes, I'll do it later." Xie Wenbin nodded, hesitated for a moment before saying, "Does the head of the family, do you need to notify the Prefect Li? I heard that he was very close to Governor Wen some time ago, and he was also very concerned about the recompilation of the civil book..."

"This is also a good official. Having him as the prefect is my blessing in Yangzhou. Let me tell him and remind him again, don't mess up and talk randomly, otherwise the consequences will be unpredictable." Xie Wenruo said, waved his hand, and signaled that his brothers would arrange the matter now.

Xie Wenbin did not dare to neglect, so he immediately ordered someone to send a letter to the government office, and then went to his own warehouse in person to pick a few suitable calligraphy, painting, art, and art, and planned to send it to Jinling to see the governor off for the trip.

Half an hour later, in front of Yangzhou Prefecture, the managers of Xie Lu's family came almost at the same time. When they looked at each other, they immediately guessed that everyone was coming because of something. They were a little polite and reported their identities to the guards in front of the door, asking for the prefect.

As March began, the government office became idle after everything improved. Especially Li Ling, as the prefect, was no longer as busy as before. Many official duties could be handed over to subordinates like Chu Lian. He only needed to review the matters in the end and let many affairs be carried out in Yangzhou Prefecture.

Compared to the county magistrate who had to do things himself, the prefect was much more leisurely. He often took the time to take his newlywed wife and sister to the outside world, traveling around the land of Yangzhou, and enjoying the beautiful scenery written by ancient poets.

Originally, Li Ling was determined to do something important for the court and the people of Yangzhou during this position. However, as the court changed, the recompilation of the civil book was urgently stopped, and even the governor was helpless about it, so he simply let go and let himself live a more comfortable life.

Because he had just cruised on the Shrimp West Lake yesterday, everyone was a little tired. Li Ling didn't go out today and sat in the hall casually, conceiving the content of a new volume of Bao Gong Case - Yes, when he was idle, he began to write another volume of Bao Gong Case again.

Because in this way, the new Zongheng newspapers must have something attractive to be published in Jiangnan. In fact, the previous stories have been circulated with reprints and pirated, and it is useless to publish them again. It is better to create a new case. Secondly, in the capital, King Huai also wrote a letter to urge the manuscript later in the year, which made Li Ling take the time to write. Who made the readers who urged for updates have an extraordinary identity? Maybe there is an emperor behind it.

I think my author is the only one. Not only is it powerful for readers, but it is also a great skill in manuscripts. This is a novel that is almost adult.

Thinking of this, Li Ling's mouth curled up again, and a smile appeared. But as he reached the door, his smile subsided: "Is there anything wrong?"

An official from the government office stood in front of the door and reported: "Sir, the managers of Lu and Xie families are looking for a meeting."

"Huh?" Li Ling frowned, thinking that the two families came to find him if they couldn't make money for the newspaper. Although they were a little unhappy, they still nodded: "Then please invite them in."

Soon, the two officials came to Li Ling. After greeting each other, the officials of the Xie family said, "Master, the young one came to convey a message to you by the order of the head of the family. Just two days ago, the capital sent an imperial envoy to Jinling, dismissed the position of Governor Wen, and asked him to leave Jiangnan within half a month and go to the capital to wait for his defeat..."

Li Ling, who was sitting there casually, wondering how to deal with them, suddenly stood up and looked surprised after hearing this: "What did you... what did you say? Governor Wen was dismissed from office?"

"That's right, this is the news sent back by my two families in Jinling, and there will be no mistakes."

"How could this be? I heard that the governor made great contributions to Jiangnan. Even if the court refused to accept that matter, he shouldn't treat him like this..." Li Ling was a little confused, stood up, rushed to the front of the two, stared at them and asked.

He was already higher than these two housekeepers, and now he had the power of a prefect, so he almost knelt down. He quickly took two steps back before swallowing and replied, "Little... I don't know the reason, we just report it directly... Please forgive me."

Li Ling was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and waved his hands: "What's wrong with you? I have to thank you. If you hadn't passed the message, I would have learned about this. Thank you, I would also like to ask you to go back and thank your head of the descendants."

Li Ling was not interested in talking to them any more and quickly let them leave. Then he paced back and forth in the room for a long time until it became dark. He made up his mind: "I can't just watch here. I have to go to Jinling, otherwise I'm afraid I will be uneasy!"

He had a certain idea and stopped hesitating. He immediately called Li Moyun and ordered: "You should prepare horses, panzhe and other things. Let's set off tomorrow morning and follow me to Jinling."
