After learning the news that Mu Changzuo would come over. The first one was worried. It's not Zhang Fan. Maybe Zhang Fan will express a lot of doubts about Mu Changzuo's arrival. But worry about it. After all. Mu Changzuo's intention. It's not known at all. If you are worried and confused. It's really not the best policy. Not to mention. Even if he hasn't seen Mu Changzuo. But his behavior since he became the Duke of Qianguo. I really can't tell that he seems to be looking for trouble this time.

Of course. Although I think so. Mu Changzuo didn't look like someone who would come looking for trouble. But this kind of thing. It is still necessary to do prevention. Not afraid of ten thousand. Just in case. Not really.

Merely. Zhang Fan: They are not worried. But Mao Zhengqing was very worried. Speaking of which. Mao Zhengqing didn't know that Zhang Fan had used his name. sued Zheng Yang for collaborating with the enemy and rebelling. But now. Mao Zhengqing felt it. Is it because of the fight between Zhang Fan and Ding Youyang? This is what attracted this prince of Qianguo.

Mao Zhengqing naturally understood it in his heart. Zhang Fan. Definitely won't be afraid of Mu Changzuo anything. Zhang Fan doesn't need to be afraid at all. Even if Mu Changzuo came over to tear his face with Zhang Fan in order to save face for his father-in-law. Zhang Fan also had no need to be afraid.

But Zhang Fan didn't need to be afraid. He Mao Zhengqing is not. He Mao Zhengqing doesn't have any decent backstage. There are no people I know in the DPRK and China. What's more, he himself is just a four-rank prefect. Now. Mao Zhengqing was just scared. In case of. In case Mu Changzuo really came to find trouble. But it was impossible for him to get anything cheap from Zhang Fan. It's only going to get even worse. Zhang Fan can't bargain there. Will Mu Changzuo be angry with others. For example, he didn't help Ding Youyang against Zhang Fan before.

This. It was when Mao Zhengqing heard that Mu Changzuo would come over. The first thing that comes to mind. Though. Mao Zhengqing can be said to be the person who is most worried about this matter. Therefore. After this worry arose in my heart. The first thing he did. He immediately came over and found Zhang Fan. I want to ask him what to do about it.

So. Not long after Zhang Fan learned the news that Mu Changzuo was coming to Yongning. Mao Zhengqing appeared in front of him. And now. Zhang Fan's face. Mao Zhengqing carried the kind of although he didn't cry yet. But I'm worried to death. And in the end, he kept muttering, "What to do." What should I do", Mao Zhengqing and so on.

Speaking of which. If it were a different person, it would be like this in front of Zhang Fan. Or maybe it's a different thing. I'm afraid Zhang Fan will find him annoying. But in this matter. In addition, it is Mao Zhengqing who is so in front of him now. Zhang Fan had some different ideas.

Of course. Annoying is for sure. But it didn't get to the point where Zhang Fan felt extremely annoyed. Even. Zhang Fan looked at Mao Zhengqing like this. I think it's a little funny.

This Mao Zhengqing. It's really cowardly. Now this thing. Even if it is said that Mu Changzuo is coming over. But it was clear that he was also looking for Zhang Fan. It didn't have anything to do with his little prefect. But he looked so frightened. It's like the other party is coming to trouble him. This made Zhang Fan look at it. I think it's funny.

And Zhang Fan faced such Mao Zhengqing. In fact, there is no other way. I can only comfort him. Say something nice. So he doesn't have to worry. Mu Changzuo is here, and he has good words like that.

Merely. Zhang Fan said. It really didn't work out. Even Zhang Fan said so much to Mao Zhengqing. But Mao Zhengqing is still worried.

For Mao Zhengqing. Zhang Fan didn't want to reprimand him much. So Zhang Fan had no choice but to change the topic. talked about Zheng Yang.

Not to mention. And it works. Mao Zhengqing heard Zhang Fan mention this matter. Worried about Mu Changzuo. It's a lot better. Although there was still some concern on his face. But actually. But he has gradually let go of that thing.

"Your Excellency. Originally, I wanted to go to you and talk about Zheng Yang. Mao Zhengqing said. But then the officials heard about it. The adults have already caught Zheng Yang. And I heard that Zheng Yang also pleaded guilty. Xia Guan did not come back. I ask for your pardon. ”

"It's nothing." Zhang Fan waved his hand. Said. "The most important thing. He has pleaded guilty. That's it. It took me a little time, though. But he can confess his sins. It's the best. That's right, Lord Mao. There's one thing I didn't tell you. Now is the time to make it clear to you. That Zheng Yang is now being locked up in the prison of the government office. And the reason why he was locked up there. That's what I mean, too. I had someone write a note for you. He sued Zheng Yang for corruption and perversion of the law, collaborating with the enemy and rebelling. Come to think of it. Master Mao probably won't care. Although in this inquiring tone. But Zhang Fan said that it was really helpless. After all, he's already done it. Now I'm talking to Mao Zhengqing about this kind of afterthought. It didn't work at all.

Really. Mao Zhengqing heard Zhang Fan say this. Not to mention how surprised. He has been an official for so many years. No matter how good you are. I have also received a lot of papers. Punished a lot of annoying. But when it comes to such a thing as a complaint. He had never done it himself. For those who are officials. He mostly turned a blind eye. Don't bother to ask at all.

But nowadays. Heard Zhang Fan say this. He couldn't have been more surprised. The first time in his life he sued. And he sued his colleagues. Although it is said that this is not what he personally sued. It was Zhang Fan who sued in his name. But for Mao Zhengqing. It doesn't make a difference.

Right now. Mao Zhengqing was a little stunned. For a moment he didn't say anything. Or rather, he didn't know what to say.

And Zhang Fan saw him like this. I thought to myself. I'm afraid he's going to start muttering like self-pity again.

Only this time. Zhang Fan guessed wrong. Mao Zhengqing. And it didn't do. His face was surprised after that. But he didn't show any of the expressions that Zhang Fan expected. Instead, it revealed a kind of relief. Or rather, a relieved look.

"How." Zhang Fan wondered. I couldn't help but ask. "Master Mao doesn't blame me for doing this. I'm not talking about status. Doesn't Master Mao object to me making such an arbitrary decision in my heart? ”

"Nope." Mao Zhengqing shook his head. Said. "Xia Guan didn't have any intention of blaming the adults in his heart. If it was before. The lower officials definitely don't want to. But now. Xia Guan didn't think there was anything wrong with doing this. That Zheng Yang. He is self-inflicted. Now he has been punished. There's nothing wrong with that. Adults can do that. It can be regarded as a great harm to the people of this Yongning Mansion. How could the lower officials blame.

"Maybe Xia Guan is still as timid as a mouse. But timidity does not mean that the lower officials are unmoved. That kind of flying disaster. Xia Guan was naturally afraid. But this kind of thing. Xia Guan was not afraid. After all. It's not the lower officials' fault. It's on Zheng Yang's body. ”

"You ......," Mao Zhengqing said. Or the change that his words bring. Zhang Fan was also surprised. "What's wrong with you. You said before and after. Could it be that something happened today. ”

"Your Excellency is right. A lot has happened today. Mao Zhengqing nodded. Said. "Your Excellency is going to Xiaguan's house today. Maybe it's just to know about the lower officials. But adults do. But it untied the knot between my husband and wife. Although I was in love with her before. But there is always something inexplicable that separates them. And now. Thanks to the adults. This ......"

"That's really going to congratulate Master Mao." Zhang Fan said with a smile. This kind of thing is just a daily thing. But Zhang Fan heard this. Naturally, it is also happy. "It's a lot of hairy adults. When did he have an heir? Don't forget to let me know. I'll send a congratulatory gift as well. I think it comes to the age of Lord Mao. It's not too late. ”

"This ......," Mao Zhengqing heard here. I'm a little embarrassed. But he still said with a smile. "Definitely. Certain. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Fan thought about it. Keep asking. "That's right. How's that money going? ”

"That's right. Adults don't mention it. The lower officials have to forget. Mao Zhengqing slapped his head. Said. "It's only been a day. When the adults had just decided on this. But no one rushed to the door to claim it. Until last night. Only then did a family come to the yamen. It is said that the house at home is in disrepair. It's going to collapse. I want to get a sum of money. Xia Guan immediately let people go to see it. That's true. I also asked some craftsmen. It will probably cost a lot to repair. By that number. The lower officials gave them more than 10% of the silver. "Speaking of which. Mao Zhengqing looked at Zhang Fan. seemed to be watching Zhang Fan's reaction.

"Hmm. That's a good thing to do. Zhang Fan naturally would not object. Nodding.

Seeing Zhang Fan like this. Mao Zhengqing was bold. Go on. As soon as the news got out. The people really gave money. It's a swarm. It's just the time of the day. The yamen received more than 100 applications. The lower officials also did according to the orders of the adults. Pick out the things that don't need to be delayed. Let someone investigate first. Now three hundred and twenty-five taels of silver have been issued. I remember it all clearly. There is no deviation in the penny. ”

"That's fine. That's it. Zhang Fan said. Come to think of it, it's a lot of money. But it won't be long before it runs out. Wait until it's almost time to run out. You need to pay more attention. Remind the people more. And also. Wait until it's done. If nothing goes wrong. I have other things for you to do. ”

"Yes. My lord. Mao Zhengqing bowed and said. It's just that there was a lot of doubt in his eyes. He couldn't figure it out. And what it really means to leave things to him.
