When Zhang Fan saw Liang Chao walking in, he already knew it in his heart, thinking that there must be some news from Liang Chao's side, and although Liang Chao hadn't spoken, it was obvious that when he came in, he was still holding the basic file in his arms, and when he saw this, he didn't need Liang Chao to open his mouth at all, Zhang Fan understood, he must have found out about Mao Zhengqing.

As for the whereabouts of Zheng Yang, if Liang Chao also found it, it would naturally be the best thing.

"My lord, General Liu," Liang Chao saluted the two of them and said, "My lord, you instructed the humble post to investigate the matter of Mao Zhengqing, the humble post has been found out, as for the whereabouts of that Zheng Yang, now the brothers below are investigating in this Yongning Mansion, but they haven't inquired yet, and please let me stay for a few days,"

"Zheng Yang's matter is not in a hurry first, let's talk about Mao Zhengqing's matter first," Zhang Fan said this, seeing Liu Xian get up to leave, he hurriedly spoke, "General Liu, this is not a matter of concern, it is naturally okay for the general to listen to it, and I think the general is also a little curious about this Mao Zhengqing matter,"

Liu Xian, who was about to leave, also sat down again when he heard Zhang Fan say this, obviously, just like Zhang Fan said, he was also very curious about Mao Zhengqing's matter, and now that Zhang Fan said that he wanted him to listen to it, he naturally would not refuse.

"My lord," seeing that the two of them were waiting for themselves to speak, Liang Chao was no longer verbose, and said, "It has been several years since the lowly position entered the Jinyi Guard, and in so many years, there have been many people who have been investigated by the lowly position, and there are many people who have encountered strange things, but the lowly position has to say that this Mao Zhengqing matter is really the first time the lowly has seen it, not that his matter is so bizarre, but this Mao Zhengqing has also impressed the lowly position,"

Liang Chao didn't rush to say Mao Zhengqing's matter, but said his own opinion on Mao Zhengqing, Liang Chao's way of reporting was already unusual, after all, what Zhang Fan wanted to listen to was not his opinion, but what the facts were, but regardless of these for the time being, Liang Chao's opinion was already unusual, what kind of things did this Mao Zhengqing experience before, which actually made Liang Chao, a person who has seen so many strange things, say that he is very unusual.

In this way, Zhang Fan and Liu Xian, who had not heard what was going on, were even more interested.

"This Mao Zhengqing is a person from Xuzhou Mansion, although he has not been an official eunuch in his family, but I heard that there are a few people who have been lifted, and his family is also solid, and he is a jinshi in the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing," Liang Chao saw that Zhang Fan and Liu Xian had already raised their interest, so he stopped hanging his appetite and began to say, "After I became a jinshi that year, I heard that Mao Zhengqing's writing style was good, and he also wrote a good hand, plus he was originally like this, looking like a snob, and he was taken by Yan's group of people on the spot. Speaking of which, even without the arrangement of the Yan family's gang, with this Mao Zhengqing's ability, it is absolutely a matter of course to go to the Hanlin Academy to be a Jiji.

"In short, this Mao Zhengqing liquidation is very promising, at that time, because Mao Zhengqing came here, our people here also brought his file from the capital, looking at what was written on the file, Mao Zhengqing was really conscientious when he was a scholar in the Hanlin Academy, he was really conscientious, several things taught by Hanlin, he was the fastest one to learn, and, I heard that he was well versed, drawing inferences from one another, he was definitely a talent, at that time, I heard that even Xu Ge Lao, who rarely spoke in order to forbear Yan Song, praised him, saying that he would definitely have great achievements in the future, Even, at that time, Xu Jie mentioned to the Ministry of Officials that after three years, he wanted Mao Zhengqing to enter the Ministry of Rites and be the main thing.

"It's just that things didn't work out like this later, in fact, it was because Mao Zhengqing himself was very talented, that he even provoked Xu Ge, who hadn't spoken for many years, to stand up and speak for him, because of this, this made the Yan family, who had already taken a fancy to him, dissatisfied, but they didn't want to let Mao Zhengqing go, and still wanted to pull him in.

"Since that time, there have been people from the Yan family to talk to Mao Zhengqing, hoping that he can join, but this Mao Zhengqing is quite dignified, although he seems to be very sleek now, but as recorded in this dossier, Mao Zhengqing at that time was not like this, Mao Zhengqing at that time was quite upright, for the Yan party's several nuisances, although he did not speak ill of each other, but he never let go of his mouth and promised them anything.

However, after a long time, the people of the Yan family became a little impatient, and they also saw that Mao Zhengqing was not close to them, and with Mao Zhengqing's talents, he would definitely achieve something after entering the office in the future, and in that case, it would definitely become an obstacle for them in the future, so they wanted to get rid of him.

"It's just that at that time, Mao Zhengqing was in the Hanlin Academy almost all day long, and he couldn't find a chance to start, so the people of the Yan family were not ready to kill him, but changed the method, made him a lot of trouble, and then released him as an official.

"After that, Mao Zhengqing made a seven-grade county, so that the time came year after year, and five years ago, he became the prefect of Yongning Mansion, and there was no movement anymore, by the way, I heard the people in Weizhong say that after Mao Zhengqing became the county magistrate, the people of the Yan family wanted to kill him to prevent future troubles, but they didn't expect that at that time, Yan Song didn't ask much about things, and Yan Shifan was arrogant, but also caused a lot of trouble, so that they couldn't free up their hands to deal with Mao Zhengqing, and when Jiajing was forty-one years old, Yan Song fell, Yan Song's party is also finished, and Mao Zhengqing also picked up a life because of this,"

Zhang Fan and Liu Xian, just listened to Liang Chao's words, and didn't mean to interject, Mao Zhengqing's matter is really as Liang Chao said before, it is not so bizarre, after all, when he happened to meet Yan Song and still dominate the government, there will be such a story, and it should be.

However, his story is also a little bit of a sigh, perhaps, because of Yan Song, many people who are not as good as Mao Zhengqing have a similar experience to Mao Zhengqing, and this kind of person, Zhang Fan and they have really seen too much, and it is not very unusual, but even so, every time they meet one again, they still can't help but make people want to lament.

"But ......," Liang Chao continued, "This Mao Zhengqing has undergone some changes because of this incident, which also makes the humble position a little incomprehensible, originally, Mao Zhengqing just didn't agree to Yan Song's gang, this is where he is now, it stands to reason that he should be a righteous person, and he will never compromise with others."

"However, according to the records in the dossier, this Mao Zhengqing has completely changed since he became a Qipin Zhixian County, this temperament has completely changed, although he never does evil, and he never bends the law for bribes, but the attitude of the official is indeed very different, for many things, no longer as insistent as in the past, if he can be the master, he will naturally ask, but if he encounters something that he can't do the master, he will back down, but, where there is Mao Zhengqing in it, even if he retreats, But the people involved in it will not suffer much.

Over time, the people in the place where he was an official had a much worse impression of him, and they all felt that he was accepting money from others, but in fact, Mao Zhengqing had been an official for more than ten years, and he had not received a penny in bribes.

"I can't figure out what it is that makes Mao Zhengqing look like this,"

Liang Chao's words once again made Zhang Fan and Liu Xian fall into contemplation, this is indeed a problem, people encounter setbacks, some will persevere, and some will change, but Mao Zhengqing can't figure out whether he insists or changes.

It's not right to say that he has changed, after all, he has never done anything evil, even if he has compromised a lot of things, but he has never made the people suffer, but if he has not changed, his current attitude is simply inexplicable.

"By the way," Zhang Fan suddenly asked, "His wife, that Zhou, can you find out anything?"

"The humble post has been checked," Liang Chao nodded, and said, "The Zhou family is also a person from the Xuzhou Mansion, and Mao Zhengqing has known each other since childhood, but this Zhou's family background is much better than the Mao family, I heard that the ancestor has also been an official, and I heard that the two are also in love, but Zhou's father doesn't like Mao Zhengqing, he wants his daughter to marry a high-ranking official in Beijing, and I heard that it is also related to the Yan family."

"And then, because of Yan Song's fall, the Zhou family is completely finished, and at this time, Mao Zhengqing has already become a magistrate under Xuzhou Mansion, but Mao Zhengqing has always been in love with Zhou, and he still married her,"

After hearing these words, Zhang Fan began to think about it, but Liu Xian on the side was a little curious, and he didn't know why Zhang Fan asked Mao Zhengqing about his wife.

"From this point of view," Liu Xian said, "We are wrong to blame this Mao Zhengqing, he is also a good official, but he doesn't think much about it, what does Lord Zhang think?"

"I still don't understand some things, and I want to talk to Mao Zhengqing again," Zhang Fan said suddenly, "And Liang Chao, you have to hurry, hurry up and find out that Zheng Yang for me,"
