After passing by the boat, Zhao Ce and his group finally stopped in Qingzhou.

The port of Qingzhou is full of ships.

At the port, a large number of imperial garrisons and government officials were stationed.

The tax silver was stolen, and the local defenders almost all came out.

Even the Qingzhou Prefecture guarded the port so that it was easy to get news of the ships that were brought back from the sea search.

Although Zhao Ce was responsible for the emperor's order, he still had tokens for the inspector's censor.

However, in order to facilitate behavior, Zhao Ce decided to conceal his identity first.

Let’s see what the local situation is.

This entire boat carries most of the scholars.

The soldiers who boarded the ship to inspect were basically polite.

After the luggage inspection was completed, the ship would dock in Qingzhou for a while, waiting for Zhao Ce and others to come back.

Others change to different means of transportation, or continue on boats from different routes.

This was naturally arranged by Emperor Hongzhi in advance, so that Zhao Ce could continue to return after investigating the case.

Zhao Ce simply got off the boat lightly and brought only some daily luggage.

A part of the servants were left to wait on the boat.

The group got off the boat, and Zhao Ce unexpectedly saw his acquaintance Wang Shouren at the port on the dock.

It's now April and the weather is getting hot.

Wang Shouren had just returned to the capital and took office shortly after he took office in the Ministry of War.

He was very idle every day, but he happened to have time to study his own knowledge.

As a result, I have been idle for a few days.

He was arrested by the Minister of War and went to Qingzhou to check the loss of tax silver.

If the gas is hot today, there is no place to cover the pier.

It's really hot and sunny.

Although Wang Shouren is a civil servant, he has little position and no power.

Because this case is really important.

The bosses have to sit in the county government to coordinate.

And his subordinates run to the dock every day with a lot of pain.

Collect intelligence for your boss and urge the people below.

When he met Zhao Ce, Wang Shouren was talking to a guard who had just searched for a passing ship.

My face, which was not originally white, was even more tanned and red.

"Mr. Wang."

Wang Shouren heard Zhao Ce's voice and looked over.

He was surprised at first, and then a puzzled look appeared in his eyes.

He remembered that he received news from the capital a few days ago that after he left the capital, the Marquis of Dingxi was sentenced to prison.

And it is related to the robbery of the tax bank.

Now that the news about the tax bank has not been found out, why did this come out?

Not only did they come out, but everyone came to Qingzhou.

Wang Shouren was confused, so he didn't say anything.

After saying hello to the people next to me, I walked towards this side.

As the censor, Emperor Hongzhi temporarily suppressed him for several days in order to facilitate his convenience.

At this time, no one in Qingzhou knew that an imperial envoy was coming.

When Wang Shouren approached, he saw Zhao Ce's wife and daughter beside him.

The fellow villagers behind him were discussing the issue of food and accommodation with Xu Fang.

Wang Shouren nodded slightly at Su Caier: "Madam."

Su Caier also held her daughter and replied with a light gift, which was considered a greeting.

Wang Shouren approached Zhao Ce and asked in a low voice: "Is the Marquis going back to his hometown to worship his ancestors this time?"

Zhao Ce looked around and felt that there were many people here and it was really not suitable for talking.

He nodded and said, "Not bad."

"I happened to pass by Qingzhou and do some things."

"If Mr. Wang is free, how about gathering at my place later?"

Passing by Qingzhou to do business?

Wang Shouren had some premonition in his heart and smiled and said, "Okay."

"I'll have someone tell me in advance."

Of course, the party is not for simple food and drink.

Wang Shouren investigated here for a few days, and Zhao Ce was trying to find him for information.

Wang Shouren naturally thought of this layer.

After the matter was roughly arranged on that day, he appeared at the inn where Zhao Ce stayed.

The entire inn was booked.

Those who live in Zhao Ce's family and fellow villagers.

Upon learning that Mr. Wang was coming, Zhao Ce asked Su Caier and his daughter to stay in the room.

He directly chose an empty room to meet Wang Shouren.

There are some wine and food on the table.

I learned that Zhao Ce had eaten it, and this was specially prepared for him.

Wang Shouren was not polite either and sat directly at the table to fill his stomach first.

This case is related to Zhao Ce, and he has been doing all kinds of things these days.

Today I finally got lazy, had enough food and drink, and chatted.

When Zhao Ce arrived, he had already eaten 80% full.

"Here you come."

Putting down the chopsticks, Zhao Ce sat opposite him.

The dishes on the table were replaced with new snacks.

After everything was ready, the door was closed.

Wang Shourencai asked with concern: "I received news before that you were implicated in this tax and silver case and were imprisoned by His Majesty."

"How come you appeared in Qingzhou now?"

Zhao Ce simply told him about the treatment of malaria and the emperor's appointment.

After listening, Wang Shouren exclaimed: "I thought you were just literary."

"I later found out that you are actually a miracle doctor who is in need."

"With your contribution to managing the two major plagues of smallpox and malaria, this achievement is enough to be sacred!"

Canonized?

Zhao Ce smiled.

He had never thought about this himself.

However, opposite me, there was indeed a saint who was not yet fully physical.

Now although the emperor has determined to protect Zhao Ce.

But the emperor wanted to protect, but those officials were actually not convinced.

After he returned to Beijing for worshipping his ancestors, people would occasionally make trouble with this matter and continue to do things.

For Zhao Ce, he personally found this batch of tax and silver.

All the causes and consequences of the theft case were found out, and strong evidence was given to prove that sea transportation was safe.

This is the real solution.

Therefore, the two of them quickly talked about the tax and silver case again.
