Chapter 272: The Fengyang Incident Rises Again
After sitting down, Fang Buzhan finally breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "This court was ordered to go out of Beijing this time, originally for the matter of Fengyang, presumably Lord Guogong and Lord Lian also knew, but this court found that some of these things originally originated in Jiangnan and had roots in Suzhou, so they came here according to the map." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info just caught up with the promotion of Master Lian, which is a gratifying thing. After speaking, he congratulated again and again.
Nonsense. Lian Daning would rather not believe a word. The imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate came to the local area on the day of the resignation of the prefect of Suzhou, and if he said that it had nothing to do with the appointment and dismissal of the imperial court, he would not believe it.
Wei Guogong didn't believe in this kind of coincidence, of course he knew about Fengyang's headless case, and he also sent some people to investigate, but he found nothing, so he had to report it to the imperial court. The Criminal Department has already sent people to visit everywhere in Fengyang, because the Criminal Department has lost a chief arrester, which is a big loss for the Criminal Department, and the people of the Criminal Department are squatting in the streets and alleys of Fengyang every day, teahouses and restaurants.
If it is more serious, this matter is not within the scope of the supervision and authority of the Metropolitan Procuratorate at all, and it should be the matter of the local government, the ministers left behind in Nanjing, and the Zhongshan Palace. Because of the disappearance of officials, it is normal for the Criminal Department to send people to Fengyang to investigate the case, but the intervention of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is a bit overstepping its authority. What's more, he also sent a Du Yushi Weifu for a private visit, what is this trying to do, is it to engage in black materials of Jiangnan officials?
"Master Lian, a few months ago, there was a student in Suzhou who disappeared, and most of the Jiangnan was in turmoil, and there were ups and downs, but as far as this hospital knows, this student is just an ordinary talent, why did it cause such a big shock, could it be that there is something strange that this hospital does not know? Fang Buzhan said tentatively.
He asked Lian Daning for verification instead of Wei Guogong, which was to show his respect for the Zhongshan Palace, because Lian Daning was also a subordinate official of Wei Guogong, and it was in line with etiquette to ask him for verification.
Lian Daning was shocked, this is really going to involve the situation. After thinking about it for a moment, I immediately felt happy in my heart, and now the fire was about to burn to the old master. Could it be that the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not even let go of the old master?
Lian Daning was overjoyed and surprised in his heart, but said with a straight face: "That commotion, as far as the lower officials know, is that the various Jianghu sects are seeking revenge and retaliating against each other, and it has nothing to do with the disappearance of local students, right?"
Fang Buzhan smiled and said, "Is it really irrelevant?" That student had disappeared, as if he was involved in the whole body, and there was a commotion in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and soon the Fengyang incident occurred. According to the investigation of this hospital, when the Fengyang incident occurred, the Suzhou student was also in Fengyang. ”
Wei Guogong leaned over and asked, "What does Lord Governor Xian mean?" Could it be that the Chengdu Procuratorate has to take care of even the affairs of a student. ”
Fang Buzhan arched his hand and said: "Lord Guogong allows me to explain, this student is involved in the Fengyang incident, and it is the source, if you want to find out about Fengyang, you can only start from the source." ”
Lian Daning glanced at Wei Guogong and said with a smile: "Then investigate it thoroughly, what do you need to do, Lord Zongxian just commanded." ”
Lian Daning's heart is full of joy, and he wants to check what's going on, okay, the old master will be the first to jump out, and now it's a mess, and his affairs may be able to get through the tricks.
"Yes, how is Lord Zong Xian going to investigate, do you want this student to come here to assist in the investigation?" Wei Guogong asked.
He did not say that he would be arrested for interrogation, but that he would assist in the investigation, which was tantamount to limiting the means that Fang Buzhan could use in advance.
"This is not needed for the time being, this court just said that it has something to do with him, not that this student did it, a young man who has just turned sixteen can't toss such a big thing. Fang Buzhan smiled slightly.
Lian Daning's heart was cold, this old fox was really cunning, and he brought it over with a light word, it seemed that the spearhead was still aimed at himself, but he just took advantage of that incident to get out, but he took it out without leaving a trace, obviously because he didn't want to provoke the old master.
Lian Daning is not willing to let others deal with his own disciples, if it is another disciple, of course he will do his best to protect him, even if he is difficult to protect, he must act like a teacher, but besides, he doesn't have to worry about it at all, even if something happens, it will not be his turn to come forward.
Lian Daning now hopes that something big will happen in Jiangnan, and it is best that the imperial court can't take care of him and forget his existence for the time being, so he can gently jump out of this whirlpool.
"Although it is unlikely that the matter was caused by this student, after all, it is related to him, and this hospital came to Suzhou this time to carefully investigate the background of this student. Fang Buzhan's words folded back again.
Wei Guogong and Lian Daning were both surprised, they wanted to investigate the background of the situation, of course they had to investigate his life experience, could it be that Fang Buzhan wanted to lift the lid?
The two of them couldn't help but wonder: What exactly does this Fang Buzhan intend? This kind of thing involves people from the royal family to the rivers and lakes, and no one can avoid it, so why does he just want to rise to the challenge? Moreover, his life experience has already triggered a hundred years of infighting, and once it is lifted, it will definitely be another violent commotion, and the period from Jiangnan to the imperial court will enter an eventful autumn again.
As a result, Lian Daning's heart moved, and he said with a smile: "If Lord Zongxian wants to investigate the background of this student, it is best to find Old Master Chen, who is also a close disciple of Old Master Chen. With just one sentence, he led the spearhead aimed at Chen Musa, and left the embarrassment to Fang Buzhan.
"Ah, how could it be a closed disciple of Old Master Chen?" Fang Buzhan seemed a little incredulous.
"I don't dare to talk nonsense about this, this is something that everyone in Wuzhong knows. Lian Daning said with a smile.
"I do know that this student is a disciple of Old Master Chen, but Old Master Chen is not very old, why did he have the intention of accepting disciples from the closed door?" Fang Buzhan seemed to really not know this section.
"Closing disciples is about fate, not sooner or later. Master Zongxian also knows that this closed disciple may be the successor of his mantle in the future, and the old master has a unique vision and will not look at the wrong person. Lian Daning said with a smile, with a burst of brisk in his heart, as long as Fang Buzhan followed this path to investigate, where would he have the energy to take care of other things?
"Well, this time this time I came to Suzhou, I should also visit the old master. Fang Buzhan said with a smile.
"You don't have to trouble the old master for the background check, just go to me directly. Wei Guogong suddenly said lightly.
"What do you mean by this?" Fang Buzhan pretended to be puzzled.
"When the old master took in this disciple called Besides, he asked me to do some investigation, so I know all about his situation, and the old master will not know more than me. ”
"It's just an ordinary student, how can I be lucky enough to let Lord Guogong investigate it personally?" asked Fang Buzhan.
"The dog is also under the old master's door, and if I want to get along with this person often, I naturally want to investigate, which is not only entrusted by the old master, but also an inevitable move for me. ”
Fang Buzhan smiled slightly: "Since Wei Guogong vouched for him, it must be no problem." This hospital does not have to do anything else. ”
Wei Guogong said lightly: "I can completely guarantee this person, unless Lord Zongxian's investigation is deeper and more thorough than mine." ”
Fang Buzhan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "How dare you dare, how dare this court compare with Lord Guogong." ”
Wei Guogong's face was expressionless, and if he glanced at Lian Daning intentionally or unintentionally, Lian Daning's heart was slightly cold, and his back was in a cold sweat. He knew that Wei Guogong had a strange meaning, and the sentence he made up at the end was indeed a bit excessive.
But he really couldn't do it, he was in a predicament, and the two people in front of him, one was to pick up the seal, the other was to check him, and the other was waiting in the city inn for his successor. If he is hooked up with the case in Fengyang, he will really jump into the Yellow River and can't wash it away. Although the old master agreed to pull him, he was afraid that the distant water would not quench his thirst.
Lian Daning wanted to direct the attention of Du Yushi, who was investigating the case, to other things, but unfortunately his wishful thinking could not be completed.
Fang Buzhan said with a smile: "I heard that the world brother is also in the city, why didn't you see it? This time I came to Jiangnan, I also want to admire the style of the world brother." "Du Yushi is talking about the little prince.
Wei Guogong said with a smile: "The dog is still young, so he deserves to be called the world brother of Lord Zongxian." I remember that Master Soken was the same year as the High Bachelor, right?"
Gao Bachelor refers to Gao Gong, and the meaning in Wei Guogong refers to Fang Buzhan coming here for a clear purpose, in order to seize the throne for Gao Gong's protégé. In fact, this is also the case, Wei Guogong knows the unspoken rules of officialdom well.
"Lord Guogong has a good memory, and this hospital is the same year as Brother Gao. I remember that Old Master Chen was also the same year as Master Zhang, right?"
Wei Guogong said with a smile: "Exactly, Lord Zongxian's memory is not bad. ”
Fang Buzhan understood, Wei Guogong was warning him not to do anything on Chen Musa's head. Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong, and Chen Yiqin are the favored people of His Royal Highness King Yu, and they will all be the masters of the Son of Heaven in the future, and he cannot rely on the power of Gao Gong to run rampant in the world.
Wei Guogong is just unwilling to use his position to oppress others, with the status of the Zhongshan Palace, even the Metropolitan Procuratorate can't afford to provoke him, it is good for civil officials to be in power, but there are also restrictions, not to mention that civil officials are not aligned.
Fang Buzhan smiled at Lian Daning and said, "Master Lian seems to have a smile on his face, is there anything difficult about it." This time, Master Lian was promoted, and he was Xu Xiang's proud protégé, and his future is limitless. Is Master Lian in the rivers and lakes, and his heart hangs in Weique. ”
Lian Daning was furious in his heart. is not so entertaining, Gao Gong does this, the spearhead is obviously aimed at Xu Xiang, he is just a ghost for the dead. It's nothing, it was the same with Yan Song back then, but now that Xu Xiang is still in power, it's too bullying to talk like this.
Lian Daning wanted to take a sip of tea, but when he touched the teacup, it was already cold, so he shouted: "Come on, change the tea!"
Lian Daning's voice was a little higher, and even he was startled. After thinking about it, Fang Buzhan was trying to provoke himself, and he must not fall for the trick. So he smiled and said: "Where, the lower official is just thinking about the bizarre case in Fengyang, I don't know if Lord Zongxian has found out what the situation is?"
