Chapter 988: Disgust on Disgust
Zhang Fan said before that this matter should be handled by the local yamen first, and if the yamen did not handle it well, then his Jinyi guards would go out to investigate.
After Zhang Fan went to Zeng Shengwu's house in the morning, Ding Guangyou went to complain, and I don't know who it is, in short, this matter was spread out that afternoon, and it was spread very widely, not only on the bright side of the entire Chengdu Mansion, but even the ordinary people all knew about it, and for a while, it can be said that the people of the entire Chengdu Mansion, regardless of the officials and the people, all knew about it.
As soon as this incident came out, there were surprises, shocks, and schadenfreude, and those who gloated, not those who were officials, but ordinary people, perhaps because these people were really oppressed by these officials in ordinary times, and even if they had never encountered this situation, it would never be uncommon. Naturally, they will have this feeling of schadenfreude.
Of course, these are just the thoughts of the people who don't know the truth.
For the people in the officialdom, or those who have some relationship with the imperial court, this news is indeed very shocking and surprising to them, after all, what is Zeng Xingwu's style in the past, all people see it, and his achievements are also obvious to all, Zeng Xingwu has only been in Sichuan for more than two years, but in just two years, Sichuan has changed a lot and become a lot better.
Now, it is even more necessary to add that because Zeng Xingwu took the initiative to attack, he did not delay his work, not only destroyed the whole servant and a troublesome nation that had stayed in the southwest for many years to grab money, but also Liu Xian returned victorious, all of which must be counted on Zeng Shengwu's decisive head, and it is necessary to make great contributions.
But now, such a thing actually came out, which made everyone who heard it feel a little incredible, after all, in their eyes, Zeng Xingwu is a good official on the right path.
Therefore, as soon as this matter was spread out, the movement in the officialdom of the entire Chengdu Mansion was quite large, and almost all the people were talking about this matter, and it was only a day, but it was like it had happened for a while and reached the peak, but it was no wonder that it would be so lively, after all, Zeng Xingwu was the governor of a province, and now that something happened, how could people not react.
However, this kind of fierce reaction is simply limited to the discussion level, almost all people are discussing this matter, but just discussion, but no one stands up to say anything, the reason is actually very simple, because when everyone is discussing this matter, these people in the officialdom have ideas, and what they think of, they naturally think of Zeng Xingwu.
Zeng Xingwu is indeed a good official, there is no need to discuss this, and Zeng Xingwu is not only a good official, and he has talent and talent, he is completely an official material, and Zeng Xingwu will not be limited to things that are in the rules and regulations, dare to do things that others dare not do, speaking of which, he dares to bet.
But the so-called no one is perfect, Zeng Xingwu is flammable, Zeng Xingwu is even if the official does a good job, but he can't hide his shortcomings, and his shortcomings are not one or two points, there are many, those who think very highly of themselves and look down on people's problems, almost the whole of Sichuan is also known to everyone, no one knows.
And it is precisely because of these shortcomings of Zeng Xingwu that after hearing that Ding Guangyou went to Zhang Fan to complain about Zeng Shengwu today, they were shocked and surprised at the beginning, but after the shock and surprise passed, people calmed down and thought about it, but no one stood up to speak, let alone defend Zeng Shengwu for anything, why, because the things they thought of Zeng Xingwu made them feel that maybe Zeng Shengwu could really do these things.
This time it's good, although it's only for half a day, but all of a sudden, things seem to have changed the direction of the wind, Zeng Xingwu is on the wrong side, and Ding Guangyou, who in the past was not only looked down on by Zengsheng, but even the other officials in Chengdu Mansion looked down on, but now he has become a bitter lord and is sympathized with by people, which does sound a little incredible, but in fact it is so.
However, this is just what it looks like on the surface, and in fact, although from the perspective of this matter, it is true that many people think that this matter may be Zeng Shengwu did something wrong, and Ding Guangyou is the victim, but that's all, even everyone thinks that this matter is very likely to be Zeng Shengwu's wrongdoing, but this is the end of it, and I won't think about it anymore, let alone do something.
The reason is very simple, after all, he Ding Guangyou is a bitter master, no matter how he was wronged, he also took two lives, but after all, he is just a six-grade acquaintance, not that he doesn't have to care about his official position, but in comparison, if it is just because of this matter, Zeng Shengwu will be put down, it is really not worth it, after all, this matter, he has been at fault with me, but it is not a direct fault, and it is not a mistake, compared to the mistakes he made, if he has nothing to do, The benefits he brings will be even greater.
This is a very simple trade-off, and you must not lose a big one because of a small one.
Originally, if this matter was just stabbed to the government, it would naturally be easy to do, as long as a few people in the middle were active, it would be easy to do, and now, the problem in front of him is not so simple as the government itself, Ding Guangyou went directly to the minister Zhang Fan who came to complain, and Zhang Fan is who, if it is just to say that his identity as the minister of the palace, it naturally doesn't matter, but Zhang Fan is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, just this, It is already impossible for people to ignore his existence, not to mention that Zhang Fan is still the Taifu of the dynasty.
Nowadays, such a character wants to get involved in this matter, which makes people feel very bad, judging from the way the court has handled this kind of thing in the past, almost all of them are worth it, even if you have great merit, but once you do something wrong, even if it is just a small mistake, it is possible that you will never be able to turn over, this kind of thing, whether it is heard or seen with your own eyes, is too much.
And if Zhang Fan intervenes in this matter, this situation is very likely to come true, which makes these people feel very bad, and no matter who they are, they all feel that if Zeng Xingwu just because of this matter, his career and his future have something wrong, it is really not worth it.
On the one hand, they naturally don't want Zeng Xingwu to do anything because of this, and on the other hand, although they don't know the truth of this matter, they can guess that Zeng Xingwu is very likely to do so, so if Zeng Xingwu does something wrong after all, then since he did something wrong, he should naturally be punished.
Judging from the current situation, no matter who among them stands up and says something, as long as it is finally found out that it is really Zeng Xingwu who caused the tragedy of Ding Guangyou, then these words they say may only have a negative impact on Zeng Xingwu.
And if they don't say anything, just watching Zeng Xingwu ruin his future because of such a thing, it seems to be a little unwilling, and now that Zhang Fan is involved in this matter, it means that Jinyiwei will also be involved, and once Jinyiwei participates, it is absolutely impossible to hide anything, the truth will inevitably be investigated, so Zeng Shengwu still can't escape this catastrophe.
It seems that this is not advance, nor is it retreat, and the dilemma makes it impossible for people to choose.
It's just that although Chengdu Mansion, whether it is the government or the people, none of them have spoken, but these people are actually still oriented towards Zeng Shengwu, and there are naturally many reasons, so I will not describe them one by one here.
But in this way, these people are directed towards Zeng Shengwu, but in other words, they make the person who brought up this matter hate.
Ding Guangyou, no, it's not Ding Guangyou, Ding Guangyou, after all, he is a bitter master, even if he sued Zeng Xingwu, but what he experienced is in front of him after all, and it can't be ignored, so no one blames Ding Guangyou for anything now.
In this way, that is to say, no one blames Ding Guangyou, so there is only one person left, and it is naturally Zhang Fan.
This sounds really funny, after all, Ding Guangyou is the plaintiff, if there is no Ding Guangyou to sue, this matter will naturally not happen, of course, maybe even if Ding Guangyou does not sue now, it will be high in the future, but it is precisely because Zhang Fan is here that this matter will happen now, so Zhang Fan, who should not have been attacked by others for this matter at all, but Zhang Fan, who managed this matter as the chief judge, has now become the target of public criticism.
And all of this is in Zhang Fan's expectation, and it is also the scene he needs, but what Zhang Fan wants is not just this, next, he has to do something else, so that these Shudi officials, who are already very annoying to him, become even more annoying to him.
