Zhong Xunzhi asked: "Tomorrow our group will go to Qingping County to investigate Zhang Zhi County, can Qu Zhi County provide some information about him?" ”

"In the Duanzhou area, only Xiaguan, Zhang Zhixian and Xu Zhixian were not co-opted by the King of Lingnan, they were clean and clean, diligent and loved the people, but it is a pity that Xu Zhixian was killed by the killers sent by the King of Lingnan in the investigation of the official salt case, and there were only two people left!" Qu Zhixian sighed.

Zhong Xun said: "So, Zhang Zhixian is also a clean official? ”

"Xia Guan also went to Qingping County, secretly investigated Zhang Zhixian's personality, to see if he could form an alliance to jointly resist the coercion and temptation of the King of Lingnan, he has a good reputation among the people, and the city is in order, and to this day, no clues of his collusion with Lingnan have been found!" Qu Zhixian said truthfully.

Fang Lei proposed: "Lord Zhong! Then let's just wave our troops to the north, first go to inspect the four counties of Cangsong, Hanshan, Qingcheng, and Shancheng, here is the most active place for the members of Ma Zhifei's secret organization, maybe it is a hard-hit area, Hanshan County is still the general altar of the secret organization, we may be able to find out a few big cases there, shocking the government and the opposition! For other counties, it can also play a role in killing a hundred people! ”

"Yes! The more places the King of Lingnan intervenes, the more serious the corruption will be, and the bigger the problem will be, if Lord Zhong can solve a few big cases, his father-in-law will be even more affected in front of the emperor! Qu Zhixian also agreed.

Zhong Xun said: "The student is deeply respected by his father-in-law, and he is highly recommended by the emperor as the envoy of the eight counties, but I have not made an inch, which will make my father-in-law embarrassed in front of the emperor, since I have the help of Fang Gongzi, then I have to give it a go!" ”

"That's right, Xia Guan put a few people at the Qingshan Hotel tonight, not only to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Lord Zhong, but also to send Lord Zhong out of Qingshan County, all the way north, punish the traitor and eliminate the evil, do his best for the community, and share the worries for the emperor!" Qu Zhixian said.

Zhong Xun excused himself and said, "Isn't this an impact? Let's just have a few drinks in the yamen canteen, it's not good to be too public! ”

Zhang Yang heard Lord Zhong call his name, hurriedly stood up, and said, "The subordinates are here, what do you have to say?" ”

"We're discussing things, I didn't call you!" Zhong Xun said.

Fang Lei laughed and hurt his stomach, and said, "Lord Zhong is saying that it's not good to be too public, not to call your name!" ”

"It's also my slip of the tongue that I said it was a leak!" Zhong Xun said with a smile.

Qu Zhixian is really in a dilemma, entertaining the patrol envoys in the canteen, it seems very small, but in the big restaurant to set up a few banquets, he has always been honest and honest, with clean sleeves, relying on that meager Fenglu, and often helping those subordinates who are in difficulty, in addition to daily living expenses, that savings? Even if you drink in the cafeteria, where does the money come from? He originally wanted to spend a few of the miscellaneous surpluses, and it would not cost much silver taels, but when he heard the Lord Inspector say this, he was helpless.

Fang Lei has already seen it in his eyes, and said with a smile: "It's still the life of our people in the rivers and lakes to be romantic, when the big drug lord was exterminated and the drug money in his treasury was confiscated, even gold bars and silver taels, enough to load ten carriages, and pull these ill-gotten gains back to Qingfeng Village, put them in the warehouse, all kinds of heroes gathered, but also a big bowl of drinking, a large piece of meat, this time I left Qingfeng Village, when I stayed halfway, I found that there were ten more gold bars in my bag, I don't know when the owner of Yi Zhai put it in, now I brought it all out, as an additional fee along the way, With that little money to handle the case alone, wouldn't we become ascetics? It's almost time to take an empty bowl to turn into a fate, this is the first stop, tonight by me, a person from the rivers and lakes, to make the east, and all the people in the county government, including the head catcher and the fast catcher brothers in the arrest room, go to drink and eat meat together, and make a scene! ”

Qu Zhixian said: "Then Fang Gongzi will take care of it, and Lord Zhong will not interfere in this matter, how about it?" ”

"Since it's a matter of the rivers and lakes, as long as it's not illegal, we can't control so much in the public family!" Zhong Xun relented.

Qu Zhixian was relieved and felt much more relaxed, these subtle changes can only be seen by Fang Lei, and only he, a wealthy person in the rivers and lakes, can solve economic problems.

Fang Lei took out a gold bar from his bag, handed it to Qu Zhixian, and said: "Lord Zhixian, please hand it over to your subordinates to exchange it for official silver, along the way, there is still a place to use it!" ”

In the evening, Fang Lei set up a banquet for five or six people in the Qingshan Restaurant, and even the catchers and handymen were also invited, and they were very excited, they had never drunk two glasses in the restaurant, and praised this Jianghu person, who was really a heroic person.

In order not to reveal his identity, Fang Lei deliberately set up a table in the private room, except for Qu Zhi County, it was Zhong Xun and his entourage, after three rounds of drinking, Qu Zhi County said: "Lord Zhong! This time, I don't know when we will see each other, or drink two more glasses to show respect for adults! ”

"There are a lot of opportunities to meet in the future, either in Qingshan County or in Duanzhou Mansion!" Zhong Xun said with a smile.

Qu Zhixian asked puzzledly, "After the inspection, didn't Lord Zhong go back to the Ministry of Rites?" ”

"The emperor Lao'er gave the father-in-law a thorough explanation, and after the inspection, let Lord Zhong serve as the prefect of Duanzhou, and the former prefect Zhu Weiping returned to the capital of Jinling to report on his work, but this time I went back, I am afraid that the southern snake has passed the bamboo tail, and if he does not die, he will have to shed his skin!" Fang Lei said.

He knows: As soon as the king of Lingnan falls, he has no backer, who dares to protect him?

Qu Zhixian said excitedly: "Okay! punished corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and Lord Zhong became the prefect again, which is a blessing for the people in Duanzhou! ”

The so-called "wine is a thousand cups of confidants", Zhong Xun and Qu Zhixian are both people valued by their fathers-in-law, Zhong Xun is young and promising, and Qu Zhixian is experienced, one old and one young are all officials of the imperial court, talking about officialdom, endlessly, Fang Lei and a group of followers, only drinking.

The people of the county ya, it is rare for someone to invite wine, and the head catcher Zhang Dashan, who turned out to be a person from the rivers and lakes, is still heroic, and even called the catchers brothers, and set up a wine order, shouting five and drinking six, and it was very lively, until the middle of the night, and then they were full of wine and food to support each other, and stumbled towards the yamen.

Fang Lei saw that everyone had almost drunk, so he went to check out, and then helped Qu Zhixian out of the door of the hotel, Xia He and Xiaoxi, knowing their responsibilities, kept staying left and right from Zhong Xun to protect his safety.

Zhong Xun pressed his entourage, since he entered the yamen in the morning, he was arranged by Qu Zhixian to live in the guest room in the yamen, which was clean and hygienic, safe and reliable, and was a good place to entertain visiting officials, and it was a good place for free.
