Chapter 972: Beat Around the Bush

In fact, Zhang Fan's guess was not wrong at all. Ding Guangyou is now being pulled to this place. I sat in vain for more than two hours, but I didn't see anyone. Speaking of which. Naturally, he felt nervous in his heart. After all, this situation of not knowing what is going on. If you change to any of them, you will feel nervous. There's no way around it.

But Zhang Fan said he would not be afraid at all. That's right. Ding Guangyou sat down here for the people who were pulled by Zhang Fan. He was not afraid at all. Come to think of it. Why does he need to be afraid. Not at all. I haven't done anything bad. You know it best in your own heart. Even if Jin Yiwei is really able to find out all the secrets of the world. But something that never happened. Unless someone has the intention to plant it. Otherwise, it will never be possible to trouble you.

And Ding Guangyou understood it very well in his heart. I haven't done anything worth worrying about. Come to think of it. Ding Guangyou couldn't help but smile in his heart. If he's done anything. I'm afraid he won't end up like this now.

All in all. Ding Guangyou was just pulled away by Jinyiwei. Nervous though. But he was never afraid. And when he got to the inn and sat down. He had no reason to be afraid. He knew it in his heart. Since I'm here. In other words, Zhang Fan is planning to see himself. Since it is Zhang Fan, he wants to see himself. Then he would not be in any danger. If Zhang Fan wants to deal with him. Then you don't have to see him at all. Just press him on a random charge. Although Zhang Fan has no reason. But Ding Guangyou understood. In that case. He is certain to die.

And. Even if Zhang Fan really wants to do this to him. He also had no reason to be afraid. Now he has lost everything. If it weren't for the reason in ordinary life, it would still be able to control it. He's long since turned into a walking corpse. Die. For today's Ding Guangyou. It's not terrible.

And now. After more than two hours of waiting. Ding Guangyou, who was waiting, was not just panicked. My whole body was a little sore. Zhang Fan finally appeared.

Before Zhang Fan appeared. Ding Guangyou has been thinking about why Zhang Fan wants to see him. He also had some ideas. After all, the situation after Zhang Fan arrived in Sichuan. Ding Guangyou is all in his eyes. His guess was that Zhang Fan might be using himself to do something. And for this. Ding Guangyou thought about it carefully. He did not exclude Zhang Fan from doing this. Although it is to take advantage of yourself. But he had also heard about Zhang Fan. Even from the distant capital, it is uncertain how much credibility there will be. But he understood. Whatever it is. Since interests are involved. Then there's a deal in it.

Since Zhang Fan wants to use him to do something. Then it's the other way around. Zhang Fan wants to use him Ding Guangyou. Then you have to give him certain benefits. And money status or something. For Zhang Fan. It is easy to give him Ding Guangyou, these are as easy as pies. But Ding Guangyou doesn't care about these things. All he wants is justice for himself.

Right. It's just justice. Ding Guangyou understood. In this matter, Zeng Province has made a lot of mistakes. But he didn't go crazy enough to take revenge. To the point of ignoring everything else. He understood that Zeng Xingwu was not a bad person. Not a person who should be suppressed because of himself. Not to mention whether Zhang Fan agrees or disagrees. If Zhang Fan agreed. And if he did, he did. Will his heart disease be solved in the future? It was solved for a while. But I can't solve it.

He just wanted justice.

So wait until Zhang Fan arrives. Ding Guangyou was ready to bargain with Zhang Fan.

But. It's not that simple. Or rather. After Zhang Fan came. It didn't feel like that to him. Zhang Fan actually asked Ding Guangyou to drink with him. This made Ding Guangyou feel different.

Although Ding Guangyou is not sociable. More than ten years in officialdom. I don't have many friends. But that doesn't mean he doesn't understand what is in officialdom. Two people. Sit facing each other. Talking about things over tea. That's either business. Either that, or a pure exchange of interests. But eating is different. It's not a feast either. It's obvious that they want to pull the relationship.

Ding Guangyou couldn't think of any reason for Zhang Fan to have a relationship with him. After all, their own situation. That's what it looks like. It's useless to have a relationship with him. Ding Guangyou didn't believe it. Except for yourself. Zhang Fan could not find a second person in Chengdu who could break the impasse he was now facing.

This is what makes Ding Guangyou most confused. He didn't know what Zhang Fan wanted to do. But. Zhang Fan didn't explain to him. So he had no choice but to hold this doubt in his heart. Anyway. It won't be long before we get the answer. It's a bit worth the cost of spending so much effort on this now.

This way. Ding Guangyou is still thinking about these things. Over there, Zhang Fan just walked into the house. I'm going to change my clothes. Joanna immediately followed. Just when Zhang Fan was puzzled and wanted to ask her if there was something wrong. But I saw Joanna's expression again. Zhang Fan had to sigh again. said: "Don't worry. I won't embarrass him. If you're not at ease anymore. Then I can't do anything. Or you will come with you in the evening. Look at me. ”

"Nope. Every. Joanna shook her head. rejected Zhang Fan's invitation. Said. "It's not that I don't worry about you. Just a little worried. But I believe in Van . Since you've said so. Then I have nothing to worry about. With that, Joanna turned and left. Although what she said was nice. However, Zhang Fan could clearly see her hesitant appearance. Even before leaving. The pace is very hesitant. Obviously. She wasn't at all reassured.

But about it. What can Zhang Fan say? He shook his head.

Not long. Liang Chao asked people to prepare the wine and food. And this side. Zhang Fan and Ding Guangyou also sat at the table. A table is not much. But very delicate dishes. Plus fine wine. It's really refreshing. The index finger moves. But. Now the two of them are sitting at the table. Even if they are all hungry. But neither of them was sitting here in the mood to eat. They have something to talk about.

Wait until the man who poured the wine for the two leaves. Zhang Fan raised his wine glass to Ding Guangyou. said, "Come." Lord Ding. This is after Zhang came to Sichuan. The first time I drank at the same table with my colleagues. Zhang Jingding has a cup. ”

"Don't dare to be. Master Zhang said seriously. "Although the mind is not on the wine. Even Ding Guangyou didn't want to drink at all. I want to talk to Zhang Fan about business immediately. But Zhang Fan raised his glass. He couldn't help but agree. Otherwise, it's a little too ignorant of lifting. "Master Zhang is coming from the capital. It's a long way to go. It must have been very tiring along the way. Here we are. It should have been right to let the subordinate officials and local colleagues pick up the dust for the adults. Now it is for Master Zhang to be the east. Xia Guan was really ashamed. This glass of wine cannot be considered an adult's respect. It is the lower official who wants to punish the adult for drinking and making amends. ”

"Lord Ding is too polite." Listen to what Ding Guangyou said. Zhang Fan immediately understood. Truly. This Ding Guangyou is not so confused as he seems on the surface. He knew a lot of things. It seems that Zhang Fan wants to find him something. He already had a rough idea in mind. Case. Then the rest is easy to say.

The two drank the wine. Zhang Fan picked up the chopsticks. I haven't touched the dish yet. Over there, Ding Guangyou spoke: "Your Excellency, please ask the lower officials to drink today." Xia Guan is grateful. It's just that Xia Guan is really very puzzled in his heart. I hope that the adults can explain it to the lower officials. ”

"Oh. I don't know what Lord Ding can't figure out in his heart. Zhang Fan put back the chopsticks in his hand. looked at Ding Guangyou and said. "If Zhang Fan knows. I should answer one or two for Lord Ding. ”

"This Sichuan is a place of personal excellence." Ding Guangyou said. "Although Xia Guan is not a local. But the hometown is not far from here. Moreover, the lower officials have been officials here for more than ten years. I am familiar with the situation here. So Xia Guan was curious. Why did Mr. Zhang just come to Chengdu Mansion today? No one else is invited. But I want to invite the next official.

"Xia Guan is just a mere acquaintance of the six grades. On identity and official positions. Don't say it's in the eyes of Master Zhang. Even in this Chengdu mansion. are all insignificant. There are even more people who are higher than the lower officials. And. It doesn't matter what the lower officials do. Even if he has been in officialdom for more than ten years. There is no one to talk to. And so it goes. Why did the lord let the lower officials come over? Or rather. Why do adults look down on the officials? ”

"yes. Why. Zhang Fan did not answer Ding Guangyou's question. Instead, he asked rhetorically. "That. This official also has a question to ask Lord Ding. Master Ding's dossier. This official has also seen it. Jiajing forty years of Jinshi. 10th place in the palace examination. Even because Yan Song was in charge of the government at that time. Let Lord Ding's ambition and talent have nowhere to show. was put in such a place to do such an official position. But ten years. Not to mention that the DPRK and China have long since changed. Even if it's still the same as before. Why is it ten years of time for Lord Ding. It was only two levels higher. From the promoter of the seventh product to the same knowledge of the sixth product. This simply makes no sense. Good to know. Ten years of time. It's enough to enter Beijing to be a court official. I don't know why Lord Ding. ”

"Huh......" Ding Guangyou let out a long sigh. Said. "Lord Zhang. You and I both know this in our hearts. Xia Guan didn't believe it, and with Jin Yiwei's ability, he couldn't find out about Xia Guan's affairs. Now the lower officials are in front of the adults. I hope you will tell me directly. Let the lower officials come here this time. What the hell is the purpose? ”

Seemingly. Ding Guangyou is not ready to play these games anymore.
