Chapter 58: Leading the Way Ahead

Fenzhou city and county government is located in the northeast corner of Fenzhou city, the street is mostly the Fenzhou official office yamen and some official residences, at this time it is still the first month, the official office only works in the morning, and only leaves the official on duty in the afternoon, if it is not because of a very large scale of the people's gathering, I am afraid that Fenzhou knows Zhang Shiru Zhang Lord is not knowing where to enjoy leisurely at this time, welcome relatives and friends.

In the rank of officials in the Dazhong Dynasty, Tongzhi has always been a relatively knowledgeable position, as the deputy official of the local yamen and the army chief, whether it is the military guard, the prefect's yamen, or the Zhizhou yamen, the official rank ranges from the fourth rank to the sixth rank, and is set up according to the matter, mainly to assist in the division of local salt, grain, robbery, river defense, sea frontier, river engineering, water conservancy, as well as cleaning up the military registration, and soothing the people, etc., there is no fixed number, mostly ranging from two to three people.

And the reason why it is said to be learned is because it is often based on the specific affairs that Tongzhi is responsible for, you can know the status of this person in the heart of the chief official, the size of the power behind the family to which he belongs, and even whether the road to promotion of the future official is smooth.

To put it bluntly, it is the difference between a henchman and a cold bench.

At the beginning, Han Qinglin, the father of Han Gongzi, the gentleman that Lu Rong and Wu Bei met in Lingshou County, was the same as the political staff of Baoding Mansion, who was in charge of salt and grain and other affairs, which was the top priority, so Han Gongzi dared to say that his father could cover the sky with one hand in Baoding Mansion, and did not put Lu Rongwu back, who was not visible at that time, in his eyes.

And although the Lord Zhang Shiru Zhang in front of him is only a state acquaintance, and the difference between him and Baoding Mansion's political participation is more than half of the same level, and he doesn't know what kind of affairs he is responsible for, but seeing that he dares to secretly operate the black forces to quell the incident in front of everyone's eyes, and his decisiveness and ruthlessness, it can be seen that he must be one of the best real power figures in Fenzhou City.

It's just that this state, who should have a promising future, met His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan Wang, who was jealous and hateful, and was dedicated to speaking for the people.

Hearing Lu Rong's breezy words, Zhang Shiru didn't react for a while, and after thinking about it carefully, he instantly fell into an ice cave.

The clear and piercing words Shizi made him feel like he had eaten an extremely cold ice cube, and he felt a cool breath from his hair to his heels.

He was originally full of official authority, and his face changed comically, and he was stunned for a long time, and muttered: "Shizi? Which son? ”

The more than 30 officials in front of him reacted a little slowly, and only then did they hear what Zhang Shiru said, and they all panicked, looking at each other, one of them didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and the spear in his hand couldn't hold it and fell straight to the ground, with a clear bang. As if it were an order, the rest of the men put away their spears, helpless.

Yuan Gong sneered and sighed, as if he was very sorry that the two sides didn't move, and sneered: "Which son? Which other son? Don't you know about the imperial edict? Don't you see His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan? ”

Zhang Shiru is also a person from officialdom, so he quickly recovered from the shock and asked cautiously: "Is there a certificate?" ”

Yuan Gong stretched out his hand, took out a round token, and threw it to Zhang Shiru at will, Zhang Shiru took it, couldn't be tough anymore, plopped down and knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know that His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is coming, and I have missed the welcome, please atone for my sins!" ”

The token is not an order from the prince of the king of Yan, and there is no order from the prince of the king of Yan. It's just a simple hollowed-out two words, "soap".

Although Zhang Shiru's official position is not high, he still has vision, and naturally understands what these two words mean in Yan Yijun.

It's just that he has a ghost in his heart at this time, and he still thinks that the son of the world is just a title, not a real official position, and it stands to reason that he, as a high-quality official in the court, only needs to bow and don't need to kneel.

He was so panicked.

Seeing Zhang Shiru kneeling on the ground, the officials finally didn't need to hesitate, and suddenly fell to their knees, trembling.

There was another muffled snort behind him, and it turned out that the big man saw the change here, and wanted to pull out his sword to escape, but was seen by the two soldiers of the Xuansoap Army who were in charge of guarding, and his right hand was nailed to the ground, and the saber in his hand was pointed directly at the tip of the big man's nose.

Lu Rong looked back, with a look of disdain, turned around, shook his shoulders and walked in front of Zhang Shiru - Lu Rong and Dahan had a fierce battle just now, and they didn't feel anything during the war, but when they relaxed, Lu Rong felt that both of his arms were sore. The servant who was kneeling on the ground hurriedly moved aside.

Grabbing Zhang Shiru's clothes and pulling him up, Lu Rong with an unpredictable smile, helped Lord Zhang, who was standing motionless and didn't dare to move, patted the floating ash on his body, took the Xuansoap Army token, threw it back to Yuan Gong, and said with a smile: "Lord Zhang replied this time?" ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has atoned for his sins, the lower officials have no eyes, these thieves have disturbed the Lord of the World, it is not good for the lower officials, and I ask His Royal Highness to punish him." Zhang Shiru's head couldn't be lower, but his heart was full of cuts.

At the beginning of the new year of the nineteenth year of Yonghui, the news of King Yan's son spread all over the world. However, after the world shook, the strange situation that followed was that after a group of wealthy families who were extremely sensitive to the turmoil in the court, they still didn't know anything about the specific situation of the new prince of Yanyi, and no one even said his appearance clearly. As the officialdom of Taiyuan Mansion, which lives next to Youzhou and has many military and political contacts, it is even more difficult to ask all the people in Youzhou who have their ears and eyes in Youzhou.

originally thought that according to common sense, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, who should enjoy the joy of the New Year with King Yan in Shuntian Mansion in Youzhou, would appear in Fenzhou City, thousands of miles away, at this time, and it happened that he was encountering a gathering of the people and causing chaos. How could you not let Zhang Shiru scold again and again in her heart, "Damn it!" ”

Lu Rong waved his hand for Yuan Gong and the others to put away their sabers, and continued to ask, "What about your Lord Zhizhou?" ”

"Lord Hu was invited to the banquet today, and he has not returned to the house at this moment, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is also invited to enter the mansion to rest, and the next official will notify Lord Hu to come back to meet the Prince." Zhang Shiru was in a cold sweat, his heart rose to his throat, and while answering Lu Rong's question, he quickly thought about countermeasures.

Today's matter is extremely tricky, not to mention that if you collude with gangsters to harm the people, you have to take off a layer of skin, and if you don't get it into it, you have to commit the big crime of assassinating His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhang Shiru can only think of the only feasible way at present is to seal the mouth of the man in black.

Thinking of this, Zhang Shiru raised his eyes slightly to look at the big man who was like a bloody man who fell to the ground not far away, and his heart was very nervous.

Lu Rong seemed to have noticed Zhang Shiru's small movements, but he didn't care, and continued to ask with a smile: "Do you know where it is?" ”

"His Royal Highness Hui Shizi, in Fengyi Building." Zhang Shiru replied slowly, at this moment, he can only take one step at a time.

"Then bother Lord Zhang to lead the way?" Lu Rong patted Zhang Shiru on the shoulder and smiled.
