Qin Shi: I only work eight hours

Chapter 102 Once on the scale, even a thousand pounds wouldn't be enough.
After a stick of incense.

Ba County, Jiangzhou, Prefectural Governor's Office.

Prefect Mi Fang learned that Zhang Han and Xia Wuqie had arrived in Jiangzhou.

Upon learning of this, the increasingly plump Mi Fang immediately sensed something was amiss. Zhang Han was the leader of the Shadow Guard, and Xia Wuqie was the king's favorite imperial physician. Their sudden arrival in Jiangzhou must mean that Ying Zheng had learned of the malaria outbreak in Jiangzhou.

He hasn't reported this matter yet, will Ying Zheng forgive him?

Thinking of this, Mi Fang decided to write a letter to Lord Yangquan, Mi Ling.

He is the cousin of Yangquan Jun Mi Ling. He has been sending Mi Ling a lot of money in recent months. Now, only Yangquan Jun can save him!

Mi Fang changed her mind after writing only half of the letter.

Is writing a letter enough to handle such a big matter?

He has to go to Xianyang in person!
Although Jiangzhou is not close to Xianyang, it should only take three or four days if you travel day and night.

Thinking of this, he immediately told his steward to prepare a horse and money for him.

"After I left, no matter who came to see me, they all said that I was seriously ill, had difficulty getting a place to stay, and was unable to receive guests."

Mi Fang solemnly instructed.

"Yes!"

The steward immediately accepted the order.

……

Three days later.

Twilight Quadruple.

Prefect Mi Fang of Ba Commandery arrived at the residence of Lord Yangquan in Xianyang.

Traveling day and night made him lose several pounds, and his buttocks were chafed raw.

"How did you come?"

When Lord Yangquan saw that the visitor was Mi Fang, he waved his sleeves to dismiss his attendants and asked in confusion.

He was unaware of the malaria outbreak in Sichuan and Chongqing.

"Big brother."

"Something's happened in Bavaria County!"

"You must save me!"

Mi Fang ran up to Lord Yangquan and got straight to the point.

"What happened?"

Lord Yangquan frowned.

“This summer, Jiangzhou experienced continuous rain, and coupled with the outbreak of malaria in the neighboring Baiyue region, Jiangzhou also experienced an outbreak of malaria in the fall.”

"I didn't pay attention at first, so I didn't report it to the king, but who knew..."

Mi Fang told him the truth.

Why didn't you report it?

"Zhang Han and the others have arrived in Jiangzhou. You know to come looking for me now? Where were you before?"

After hearing this, Lord Yangquan said in an annoyed tone.

“I heard from locals in Jiangzhou that there had been outbreaks of malaria in Jiangzhou before, but they were never very serious.”

“Jiangzhou is so far from Xianyang, and Your Majesty is so busy with state affairs. I don’t want to leave a bad impression on Your Majesty, and I certainly don’t want to implicate you, my lord, so…”

Mi Fang explained respectfully.

"My Lord".

"Zhang Han and his men have entered Jiangzhou."

"Some things, if you don't weigh them, they're nothing; but if you do, they're worth a ton." "Could you perhaps allow me to transfer to another prefecture?"

"If I can't be a prefect, a county magistrate will do!"

Mi Fang said.

After he finished speaking, he personally poured a cup of wine for Lord Yangquan.

"How can it be so easy?"

"If it were before the malaria outbreak, it would be easier to arrange, but now that the malaria outbreak is still ongoing, how can we transfer personnel?"

Lord Yangquan reprimanded him.

He did not accept the wine offered by Mi Fang.

"My Lord".

"If I go to jail for this, how will I be able to serve you in the future?"

"You must save your subordinate!"

Mi Fang pleaded.

He appeared to be pleading with Lord Yangquan, but in reality, he was threatening him.

If Lord Yangquan stands by and does not help, he will expose everything after he goes to prison.

Did I say I wouldn't save you?

Upon hearing the word "filial piety," Lord Yangquan was immediately displeased.

Then he took the wine cup and looked towards Zhangtai Palace.

If what Mi Fang said is true, his crime is not too serious; it's just that he knew about it but didn't report it.

"Not reporting something you know about is not a serious crime."

"After all, your intentions were good; you didn't want to cause trouble for the king, but you did something wrong with good intentions."

"Here's what you'll do: go back first, cooperate well with Zhang Han and the others, and try your best to leave a good impression on them."

"I will find a way to transfer you to another county."

"As the saying goes, 'Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders.' After all, he's family, so even if he can't be transferred to the position of prefect, he should still be able to become a county magistrate!"

Yangquan Jun said this as he thought about it.

"Thank you, Lord Xie!"

"I will never forget your kindness today, my lord!"

"If you ever need anything from now on, my lord, I am willing to go through fire and water for you!"

Mi Fang was overjoyed upon hearing this and thumped her chest loudly.

"okay."

"Go back quickly!"

"It's not a big deal."

Lord Yangquan comforted him.

"My Lord".

"His Majesty has dispatched Zhang Han, the leader of the Shadow Guard, so I believe this is no small matter."

"Would you be so kind as to visit Huayang Palace?"

Mi Fang asked in a low voice.

He came to Xianyang in person; he won't leave without Empress Dowager Huayang's promise!

Who doesn't know that Lord Yangquan owes his current status entirely to Empress Dowager Huayang?
