But in his heart, he smiled happily and praised loudly: Zhang Pu and Qian Qianyi and others clashed first, which is what he wanted to see. In his opinion, although Zhang Pu is more famous than him, but now he is a pathfinder stone thrown out, this errand, how is it, let's see what happens to Zhang Pu's side first!

Wu Changshi had this idea, so he naturally didn't want his illness to be cured soon. Therefore, when the captain of the brocade guard was not paying attention, he secretly poured it out to drink the medicine. Or, in the middle of the night, deliberately leave the quilt uncovered, so that even if you drink medicine, you can't get better.

Wu Changshi, just like Emperor Chongzhen, also has to sit firmly on the Diaoyutai and laugh at the snipe and clam fighting!

Besides, after Zhang Pu left from Qiuyue Pavilion with people, he took people to the yamen of the prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture and threw them to the prefect of Yangzhou. Before leaving, he admonished him: "Under your rule, these officials openly enter and leave Fengyue places, which really ruins the reputation of officialdom. If this matter is not dealt with seriously, this official will definitely play truthfully and report the officialdom of your Yangzhou Mansion to the emperor. ”

This kind of thing can't be put on the table. Although most of the people in the officialdom are like this, the emperor will turn a blind eye when he knows about it. But if it is put on the table, even if the emperor doesn't mind, he will have to deal with it. If the emperor had minded, then it might have been a big deal!

And today's emperor, since he ascended the throne, has been strict with himself, the degree of diligence, straight after Taizu Chengzu, such an emperor, the requirements of his subordinates, you don't need to look at the performance over the years, you can also know.

In fact, the emperor's comment has been secretly circulating in the officialdom: mean.

Otherwise, it would not have been that in the years since Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, the cabinet auxiliary ministers and feudal officials have gone back and forth and don't know how much they have changed, and there are even many people who have been killed.

Therefore, after hearing Zhang Pu's threat, the prefect of Yangzhou Mansion did not dare to despise this matter, and hurriedly promised that he would strictly rectify the officialdom atmosphere of Yangzhou Mansion. Of course, as for whether he will be strictly rectified, it will take time to tell.

Zhang Pu returned to the post station and sat down in the room, but he didn't feel angry. Instead, he sat there, his mind constantly echoing the scenes he heard.

"He was born to a cheap maid, I can afford him, we all praise him, and he is where he is today!"

"With his character, I, Hou Fangyu, disdain to be with him!"

"Yes, how can you be the same as him when she is born of a lowly maid!"

"I'm afraid there's no one on your side, right? Okay, that's good, when the poetry tea party on the old man's side is over, turn around and open another one, and stagger it with the old man's side, so that there will be no crowds! ”

“……”

Thinking of these words, Hou Fangyu, Qian Qianyi, and others all had sneering faces, as if they appeared in front of his eyes.

Jiang Dong sat on the other side, and when he saw that Zhang Pu was sitting there motionless after he came back, he paid more and more attention, not knowing what this talented man was doing in a daze.

After a while, he found that Zhang Pu's face became more and more hideous, not at all like a scholar, full of anger, his hands were also clenched into fists, and the green tendons on the back of his hands were highlighted.

This is......

Jiang Dong looked at it, secretly a little surprised in his heart.

Suddenly, I saw that Zhang Pu was like a change of face, and he recovered as before, as if he was not extremely angry just now. I saw him polish the ink with his own hands, and then began to write the music.

Obviously, he should have a belly, and he wrote very quickly, and after a while, he put down the brush and blew the ink. Seeing Jiang Dong walking over, he looked a little curious, so he said to Jiang Dong with his usual face: "Wu Xun is very ill, and it is really not appropriate to move more. The official also wrote a notebook and asked the emperor to change the governor's prefecture. ”

In fact, he didn't need to explain it to Jiang Dong, but he took the initiative to say that it was to show favor to Jiang Dong.

In this regard, Jiang Dong will not have an opinion, you Zhang Pu will be what you like.

After this letter was issued, Zhang Pu rested in the post station as usual, and even seemed to have forgotten what happened before, and did not send anyone to ask the prefect of Yangzhou if he had dealt with those officials, how to deal with them, and so on.

If the wind and waves inside the post station are calm, then the outside of the post station is turbulent.

Zhang Pu ignored the unspoken rules of officialdom and went to Qiuyue Pavilion to make a fuss, and the others just stopped, and Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin, almost died of anger. This matter is very topical, and it immediately spread all over the country. Almost everyone paid attention to this matter.

Many people scolded Zhang Pu, needless to say. Especially the gentry here in Yangzhou Mansion, as well as those who owe taxes, are even more dissatisfied with Zhang Pu. After seeing Zhang Pu arrive in Yangzhou, he hid in the post station and did not move. They all thought it was the silence before the storm. This Zhang Pu is absolutely impossible to stop here. After all, he had already torn his face with Qian Qianyi and others.

Late at night two days after the incident in Qiuyue Pavilion, suddenly, the silent Yangzhou City sounded the shout of "Walking water".

When Jiang Dong heard this, he hurriedly asked his subordinates to protect Zhang Pu, and he waited for it and went out to watch the movement. I found that the place where the fire caught fire was not on the side of the post station, and that location seemed to be the prefect's yamen.

Since it's not a post station, Jiang Dong doesn't care. He was about to enter the door and go back when suddenly he saw a fire on the other side, which attracted special attention in the night.

"Where is this going again?" When Jiang Dong saw it, he couldn't help but be a little surprised and said, "Zhu Rong came to Yangzhou Mansion and couldn't do it, two places were on fire in one night!" ”

Beside him, there was also a post man who heard the news, he looked at the second place where it was on fire, and guessed a little surprised: "It seems to be where the Jiangdu County Ya is located!" ”

Yangzhou Prefecture has a total of seven counties in three states, of which Jiangdu, Yizhen and Taixing counties are directly under the central government.

When Jiang Dong heard this, he was even more surprised: "It's strange, it turned out that two official yamen were on fire, so coincidentally?" ”

Before he could say anything, one of the officers pointed to another place and said, "Look, there is fire there!" ”

Yi Cheng was also very surprised, looked at the few places on fire, and said in a lost voice: "It seems that it is the county government of Yizhen and Taixing over there!" ”

Hearing this, everyone understood that there was absolutely something strange about this fire. No matter how coincidental it is, it is impossible for several official offices in Yangzhou Mansion to catch fire together.

Jiang Dong ordered a few of his subordinates and asked them to see what was going on?

Then, he turned back to the post station and told Zhang Pu about the situation outside.

When Zhang Pu heard this, he just sneered, as if he expected something, but he didn't speak.

It didn't take long for the day to dawn, and after a commotion in the middle of the night, the fire had been extinguished. In the case of fires everywhere, there were also soldiers who went to inquire about the news.

In Zhang Pu's house, the servant said to Jiang Dong: "Everywhere in the yamen, the warehouses where the land account books are stored are on fire, and they are all burned down. Although the subordinates heard different reasons, they were sure that there must be something wrong with this. ”

Needless to say, there was a fire in the warehouse where the land account books were stored in four different places, no matter what the reason was, it was definitely abnormal.

Speaking of this, he glanced at Zhang Pu, and then said to Jiang Dong: "The subordinates think that someone deliberately set fire, just to burn those land account books and the like, so as to hinder the investigation of the case by the inspector!" Just ......"

He paused, and said with a puzzled look on his face: "It's just that they are not too bold, such an obvious thing, no matter how many excuses there are, it is useless." Why don't you do this kind of thing apart? ”

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Dong had not yet spoken, when he heard Zhang Pu sneer: "What if it is separated?" Those who want to burn those land books can always be seen. Moreover, this official predicted that the fire last night was not only this Yangzhou City, but also the other Gaoyou Prefecture capitals and Baoying and Xinghua counties, as well as the Taizhou Prefecture and Gao County Governments, Tongzhou Prefectures and Haimen County Offices, all of which were on fire last night. ”

The others, including Jiang Dong, were a little surprised when they heard this, and turned their heads to look at him.

I heard Jiang Dong say very confidently: "They think that if the official does not move in the past few days, it will be thunderous, so in order to add all kinds of obstacles to the official, they set fire to the local land account books together." In this way, the magistrate will not know that the land books of one place have been burned and then immediately take the books of the land books of other places. ”

Hearing this, Jiang Dong and the others all nodded, indeed, if Zhang Pu really wanted to investigate the case in Yangzhou Mansion, as soon as he heard that the land account books in one place were burned, he would definitely have an accident in the house, and the land account books in other places would be damaged in advance.

"But it doesn't seem to work!" When a fan officer heard this, he still said with a little doubt, "There is a copy on the Nanjing household department, and there is also a copy on the Beijing household department, so send someone to get it, what is the use of them burning it so vigorously?" ”

When Zhang Pu heard this, he sneered again: "How can it be useless? Even if you go to another place to get it, the first one may not be the latest, and the second one will be delayed a lot. It is to give the official a dismount, disgusting to the official. The intention is great! ”

Jiang Dong frowned when he heard this, these people who set the fire were really arrogant, they were simply blatantly doing this illegal thing, and they directly argued with Qincha.

He immediately shouted coldly: "This matter, the local government should be instructed to investigate strictly, if necessary, I will report to the factory and ask for a thorough investigation of this matter!" ”

"It's useless!" When Zhang Pu heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Since they dare to do it, they must have thought of a way out, it's a big deal, just launch a few minions to take the blame!" ”

Seeing that Jiang Dong seemed to have a little meaning to see his own thoughts, he further said: "If you are entangled in this fire case, it will be in their hands, and they will not be able to check their preferential exemption limits and arrears again." ”

"So what do we do next?" When Jiang Dong heard this, he didn't see it anymore and immediately asked.

When Zhang Pu heard this, he sneered again and said, "Of course, it is to let them see the reaction they want to see as they wish!" ”

I can hear that his real intention is definitely not what he said. But since he didn't say it, Jiang Dong didn't ask much, anyway, his duty was to protect Zhang Pu and supervise him. This errand is still Zhang Pu's own business.

In fact, Zhang Pu's idea is very simple, that is, wait.

Wu Changshi was treacherous before, and the emperor wanted to change the location of the state capital. Subsequently, he also took this recital and sent it to Beijing as soon as possible. According to his estimates, the emperor is likely to agree. In this way, the bad thing in Yangzhou is Wu Changshi, and it has nothing to do with him Zhang Pu. Those people came at him Zhang Pu, but he didn't answer, and punched him into the air!

Even if the emperor doesn't agree, it doesn't matter much, Zhang Pu has already decided that this Yangzhou Mansion will be put to the end, and the plank road will be darkened by Chen Cang, and after the will is clear, he will immediately check other state capitals with a thunderous momentum, take them by surprise, handle these two things ruthlessly, kill their prestige, and let them know that he Zhang Pu is not easy to mess with! Even if they are born of a, they can still handle them!

It's just a little regrettable that the old man is not the place where he patrols, and he can't rectify this old horseman anymore!

It was this idea as the principle of doing things, Zhang Pu then under the escort of Jiang Dong and others, he relied on it, and went to the government and county government in a mighty way, and was furious and furious, asking the chief officials everywhere to give him an explanation.

His performance seemed to be a little angry, which made the people hiding in the shadows laugh.

"He was born of a cheap maid, and he dared to fight with us, phew!"

"This is just the beginning, let him know how many pounds and taels he has, and come back and beg for mercy!"

"Still want to come and beg for mercy? He humiliated Mr. Yu Shan so much, he absolutely couldn't spare him! ”

"That's right, Mr. Yu Shan is angry this time, he must make him look good, and he will definitely not spare him!"

“……”

Just when they were watching Zhang Pu's joke, Wu Changshi was a little worried and regretted. If I had known that this was the case, I shouldn't have changed the state capital patrol area. If the emperor agrees, this Yangzhou Mansion is the place he wants to investigate, how can he investigate if he is so fierce?

Thinking so, he didn't take medicine just in case, or aggravated the condition, anyway, he couldn't let the disease show signs of getting better at such a time.

A few days later, Emperor Chongzhen's will arrived, agreeing to the exchange of purposes between Wu Changshi and Zhang Pu.

In this regard, Zhang Pu couldn't help but be very happy, thinking in his heart, that old man with money, just wait and see!

Then, he immediately discussed with Jiang Dong and said: "This official will be investigated and dealt with by order immediately, and it can't be delayed any longer." However, the first choice is Changshu County, Suzhou Prefecture, in order to prevent a similar situation in Yangzhou Prefecture from happening again, can the stall head do the official a favor? ”

"Please speak up, as long as it is related to the emperor's order, it is naturally my responsibility!" Jiang Dong listened, and replied with a straight face.

Seeing a hint of hideousness on Zhang Pu's face, he said: "This official continues to stay here and entangle with them for two days, and on the head of the stall, he will send someone to Changshu County immediately to protect all the land account books of the county government in case they are destroyed, and find out the situation in Changshu." Two days later, the official hurried to Changshu, how about it? ”
