"Your Excellency. Something was found. Liang Chao found Zhang Fan and his party. Although Zhang Fan and others did not have any fixed goals for this excursion. It's just a matter of wandering around. But after all, there are Jinyi guards here. So Liang Chao didn't spend too much effort to find Zhang Fan.

And the reason why Liang Chao came over so late. There is only one possibility. That is, what he went to do delayed him for a long time. But. For Jin Yiwei. Find out that one has only been in the office for more than ten years. And until now, it's just a matter of a person who knows the same thing. But it's going to take so long. Apparently something happened. And for Zhang Fan. He didn't blame Liang Chao for spending so much time. For him. This means that Liang Chao must have found a lot of things. That's it. It also means that there will be more things that can be used by Zhang Fan.

"Let's find a place to sit first." Zhang Fan said.

The group came to a teahouse next to it. I found a quiet seat and sat down. This way. Zhang Fan, Joanna and Liang Chao sat at a table. And over there. Zhang Fan's subordinates sat not far away. The reason why I sat down was not to be too eye-catching. But it also needs to be convenient when there is a situation. Only to protect Zhang Fan is to do it.

And this side. Joanna sat very quietly over there. It's not about taking a sip of tea in your hand. Ever since she came here to settle down. She also follows the local customs. Fell in love with a lot of things here. Especially this tea. It's not that Europe doesn't. It's just that there seems to be a preference for black tea over there. And a lot of it is just the kind of tea bricks that are transported over. It's no better than this. Not to mention the identity of Zhang Fan. Naturally, it is impossible to use those ordinary products. Either as a tribute in the tribute palace. Or maybe it's the best that you can't even drink in the palace. Such a contrast. Naturally, there is a difference.

And. Even if it's someone who can't taste tea again. The gap is so big. Naturally, it is impossible to ignore it. Not to mention Joanna for this aspect. There are some qualifications. So now. This is a good teahouse in the local area. Even the best tea was offered. Joanna frowned slightly.

This face. Let Zhang Fan, who saw it, also smile slightly. But he didn't say anything. Instead, he concentrated on looking at the dossier that Liang Chao handed over. While watching. Zhang Fan also asked Liang Chao: "What did you go to check?" Why did it take so long to come over? "Although I know that there must be a reason for this. However, Zhang Fan still asked.

"Your Excellency. It wasn't supposed to take so long. Liang Chao replied. After listening to the orders of the adults. Immediately rushed to the yamen where we guarded it. Let people find out who the person the adults see is. As a result, the words of the lord were spoken. The people below don't even need to check to tell the lowly office. This person's name is Ding Guangyou. I think it's also a bit famous. Over there. The lowly asked people to speak, and Ding Guangyou called over. The lowly position here is also to let the people below find Ding Guangyou's file.

"Originally, these things were just a matter of time. It doesn't take much time at all. But when the lowly office is about to leave. But I saw the look of the people below who had something to say. He asked. It turns out that there is something special about this Ding Guangyou. ”

"Oh." Zhang Fan took advantage of Liang Chao to say this. I had already roughly flipped through the file in my hand. Soon. Because there are very few dossiers. And there wasn't much. This also means: This Ding Guangyou. I have been an official for ten years. But there really wasn't much. This is true even under the investigation of Jin Yiwei. What is written in the dossier. It's all usual. There's nothing particularly noteworthy.

This in itself is already a very strange thing. So when Zhang Fan listened to Liang Chao. This Ding Guangyou has other things to do after. He wasn't too curious. Merely......

"This Ding Guangyou. What the hell is going on. Zhang Fan couldn't help but be curious. Listen to what you say. It seems that there is something worth talking about here. But these things were not recorded in the file of Weizhong. It doesn't feel like it's important. ”

"This ......," Liang Chao said. My lord. That's what happened. This matter is indeed related to this Ding Guangyou. But it wasn't his business. Although this matter is not too big or small. But listen to the people below. It's hard for them to decide on this matter. So in the end, it was not recorded in the file of Weizhong. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Zhang Fan asked.

"Let's talk about it. In fact, it is about Ding Guangyou's relatives. Liang Chao said. This Ding Guangyou is a Jinshi of Jiajing for 40 years. According to the records in the dossier. At that time, after the ranking of the temple examination. His ranking is really not low. In order, more than a dozen. It stands to reason. Such a ranking. Even if you can't stay in the court and be a Jiji. At the very least, you can go to some places with better conditions to be a prefect or something.

"Only. Adults know that, too. Forty years of Jiajing. It was when Yan Song was still bouncing. And it was also when Yan Song was powerful. At that time, the government was very controlled. The people below want to climb up. Either it's looking for Yan Song's relationship. If it doesn't matter, you have to pay the money. For those who have just taken the temple exam. Yan Song's party is also trying its best to win over. Merely. It wasn't that simple back then. Even if Yan Song's party has taken a fancy to someone who has just obtained a jinshi. But it's not going to be just like nothing and let him be added. I'll have to pay some money from here. Anyway, that's what it is.

"And this Ding Guangyou. Naturally, knowledge is good. It was a person who Yan Song's party tried to win over at that time. Even. At that time there was information that said. Even if this Ding Guangyou is very poor. There was no money. But also to pull him in. Merely. It's finally time to do it. Something went wrong.

"Among the people under Yan Song's group who came into contact with these people. One person thinks he fell into the eyes of money. Although it was commanded from above. But he didn't care either. When I see someone, I just ask for money. And this Ding Guangyou. The family is almost destitute. Even going to Beijing to take the exam that year was a little money that the family borrowed from the West. I originally thought I had won the Jinshi. This time, you don't have to worry. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen.

"And. One more point. But this Ding Guangyou is also a little temperamental. Reading people's things. Humiliation is not very clear. But I heard about this Ding Guangyou. But after hearing that Yan Song and his group wanted to recruit themselves. It is also resolutely not agreed. It doesn't seem like it's about money. It doesn't matter if Ding Guangyou has money or not. I'm afraid it's all going to have to be.

"So. That's the way it is. was originally Ding Guangyou, who had a good past. But he was sent here. And. He is a Jinshi. When I first came, I didn't even know it. It's just a mere seven-grade pusher. originally served as a pusher. They are all mostly lifted. Now let him be such a jinshi. It was indeed wronged by him.

"Still. I heard that this Ding Guangyou is also a bachelor. Except for talking to some people with whom I have a very good relationship. I haven't complained anything about anyone. And the thing that was put down in the house. He is also a piece of infallibility. It's all done very well. So it didn't take two years. He was promoted by one level. It became this knowledge.

"But. The latter thing. But that's not the case. Just after Ding Guangyou became a fellow intellectual. It happened to be the Yan Song incident. When Emperor Jiajing raided his home. Originally. This is for Ding Guangyou. It's a good opportunity. After all, Yan Song fell. There are countless people who have fallen with him. There are so many empty seats on it. Naturally, it is necessary for people to make up for it.

"But what I didn't expect was. Yan Song just fell. There was Xu Ge Lao who picked it up. Humble duty is not to say bad things about Xu Gelao. It's just the way it was. Although the adults are not there. But he also knows. Xu Ge Lao has countless protégés. I want to fill the vacancies in the court. Nature is easy very. And this Ding Guangyou is not among them. He's been here for two years. Never did a drill camp at all. He has not received a penny of ill-gotten gains. I haven't done anything unreasonable. But he had no contact with any other officials. So there was a big change in the DPRK and China. But he wasn't involved in it.

"But this Ding Guangyou still doesn't matter. Even if there is a clear chance to go up. But no. But he didn't complain much about it. And because of this thing. He has been working for eight years. Until now, there has never been a mention of the first level. ”

"Listen to you." Zhang Fan listened to Liang Chao's introduction. Said. "This Ding Guangyou is just unlucky. It doesn't seem like anything special. You just said there's something going on here. What the hell is going on. ”

"Here's the thing." Liang Chao replied. "It wasn't Ding Guangyou himself who had the accident. He has been an official for so many years. Nothing has ever gone wrong. Although the reputation is not too great. But no one had any problem with him. It was his relatives who had the accident. To be more accurate. It was his wife's brother. is this Ding Guangyou's brother-in-law. And it's a matter of talking. Humble after listening. is also towards Ding Guangyou. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Zhang Fan asked. "Could it be that his brother-in-law did something that he shouldn't have done. Or do you offend someone? You say you're turning to him, too. It seems that there is some injustice here. ”

"It's exactly as the adults say. But. His brother-in-law didn't do anything. It's just a small deal. Liang Chao said. Speaking of offending people. But it is. Merely. This offends people. I still can't figure it out. It was Zeng Xingwu who offended. ”

"Oh." I heard Liang Chao say Zeng Xingwu's name. Zhang Fan's interest was even greater at this time. "Hurry up and talk about it. What the hell is going on. ”
