Chapter 967: Leisure
The reason why Zhang Fan agreed to Wang Xilie's request is naturally for a reason, things will naturally not go as smoothly as Wang Xilie thought, otherwise Zhang Fan's previous plan would be scrapped, Zhang Fan did this, naturally he did his homework, although he had never seen Liu Xian, and he didn't know as much about Liu Xian as Wang Xilie, but he also understood something.
Liu Xian's fiery temper is not the kind of temperament that can accommodate others, when the time comes to see him, how will he speak, and will he agree with Zhang Fan's "explanation", which is impossible in the eyes of many people.
Of course, there will be a case in everything, in case Liu Xian suddenly "opened up" this time, what can I do, so Zhang Fan also prepared a hand, when Wang Xilie got Zhang Fan's consent, he also understood Liu Xian's temperament, so his proposal was to go to see Liu Xian today and explain the original situation, so that the possibility of calming Liu Xian down is very great.
However, Zhang Fan didn't understand this, so he didn't agree, but excused himself with the reason that the road was far away, and now he was tired, to talk about it, this reason is not successful, the distance is true, and the fatigue is also right, but since they entered the territory of Sichuan six days ago, there are no such problems, and they have passed through two big cities along the way, all of them have had a good rest, so these basically do not exist, that is to say, Wang Xilie can hear it very clearly, Zhang Fan is just shirking.
This made Wang Xilie anxious at the same time, but also a little puzzled, he couldn't understand why Zhang Fan did such a contradictory search, since he agreed to go to Liu Xian and Zeng Xingwu to make it clear, that is to say, Zhang Fan wanted to solve the problem at hand, then he should know that when he just arrived, he should do these things, and this is definitely not the time to delay.
But Zhang Fan obviously understands this truth, but he has to postpone it for such a day, this is simply to put the problem that could have been solved, once again put on a difficult problem, for Zhang Fan's decision, Wang Xilie can't understand, whether it is from this matter, or from the perspective of his character from his past friendship with Zhang Fan, he can't understand what Zhang Fan wants to do.
To be honest, Zhang Fan will be sent here this time, although Wang Xilie doesn't know the reason, but so many things that happened in the court before, he Wang Xilie was also watching from the sidelines, how could he not understand some of the reasons.
It's just that Wang Xilie really didn't have any deep thoughts, in his opinion, Zhang Fan's main task when he came to Sichuan this time was actually to find out whether Zhu Xuanqi, the king of Shuduan, had anything to do with Zhu Yijun's assassination, but what he didn't know was that no matter whether Zhu Xuanqi had done it or not, it had already been confirmed, and now Zhang Fan was going to ask Zhu Xuanqi directly.
However, Wang Xilie never thought of this, and he never intended to think about it like this, he is now thinking about how to make this matter solve smoothly, and since Zhang Fan is unwilling to go to Zeng Xingwu and Liu Xian now to explain the matter clearly, then he will go, he really doesn't want to let this matter have any problems.
So here Zhang Fan is unwilling to go now, but he Wang Xilie went out in the name of visiting old friends, and Zhang Fan, who learned about Wang Xilie's movements, did not send anyone to stop him.
In the afternoon, after eating a very authentic Sichuan meal, Liang Chao found Zhang Fan before he had time to reminisce.
"My lord, that person has been found," Liang Chao said to Zhang Fan, "This person's name is Ding Guangyou, a person from Sinan Mansion in Guizhou, a Jinshi from Jiajing for forty years, and now he is the same acquaintance of Chengdu Mansion, and now he has brought people to the post station to wait,"
"This person is a Jinshi of Jiajing for forty years, and he has been a fellow knower for more than ten years now, and he is actually a fellow acquaintance," Hearing the news that Liang Chao said, Zhang Fan couldn't help but be puzzled, "Jinshi was born, and he has been an official for ten years, and he is actually a six-pin Tongzhi with no fixed membership, it seems that this Ding Guangyou does have some stories, but I'm afraid it's not what we think."
"Liang Chao, you go to the local guard to find out what is going on with this Ding Guangyou, whether he has offended anyone, over there, let him wait at the post station for a while,"
"Yes, my lord," after listening to Zhang Fan's instructions, Liang Chao didn't say a word, and turned his head and left to do business.
And Zhang Fan is thinking about it here, indeed, a person who was born in a scholar, has been in the official career for ten years, and he is actually a six-grade government official, which is naturally problematic, after all, the imperial court has a large number of personnel transfers every year, whether it is an official of that grade, there will be a lot of vacancies every year, for a person who has entered the official career, even if he can only read dead books, even if he really has no talent, but after ten years, as long as he does not do too many wrong things, rely on seniority to eat, It's going to go up anyway.
Obviously, if this Ding Guangyou can't go up, there is naturally a problem, and it is not this Ding Guangyou himself who has a problem, if he is the kind of greedy person, he would have gone up a long time ago, and he will definitely not be in such a position as Tongzhi after ten years of being an official, so it is easy to guess that he has offended someone, or done something that people don't like, so he will suffer such consequences.
Therefore, Zhang Fan asked Liang Chao to find out what was going on, whether this Ding Guangyou was too bad at being an official, or did he do something, of course, the current situation seems to be more likely, but since Zhang Fan wants to use him, he must know what happened to him.
Now let Liang Chao check it out, Zhang Fan is not in a hurry to see this Ding Guangyou, it is also a way to let him hang it like this first.
But here, Zhang Fan didn't do anything, he actually told Wang Meng to do one thing when he just entered Sichuan, that is, to let the local subordinates report about the Duanwang Mansion, whether it was investigated before, or after Zhu Yijun was assassinated, all of them were reported.
However, the news that Zhang Fan got does not need to be mentioned in the past, but since Zhu Yijun was assassinated, until the matter came from the capital, even now, the entire Shuduan palace is very calm, and no major changes have occurred, and it can even be said that there is no change, which always makes people feel a little abnormal.
After all, there is nothing after the matter has been spread, which is already very strange, after all, up to now, such a news that this matter is related to him Zhu Xuanqi has also been passed now, and in the face of such news, he Zhu Xuanqi, including the entire Duanwang Mansion, can still maintain a "normal heart", this is definitely not excellent quality, there must be something inside.
And now, Zhang Fan's task to Wang Meng is to find out what this inside story is, although both he and Wang Meng understand that there seems to be nothing in Duanwangfu now, and this most abnormal phenomenon is enough to show that they are now alert, and it has become very difficult to get any news from where at this time, but this is also something that has to be done.
However, no matter what you say, this matter will take time, that is to say, Zhang Fan now, in addition to waiting for news from Wang Meng's side, is to deliberately go to Zeng Shengwu and Liu Xian and others for trouble, so that they will not go well, and these things, in the final analysis, will not take up a lot of Zhang Fan's time, that is to say, during this time, Zhang Fan, who should be very busy, is idle and has become idle.
Of course, Zhang Fan obviously won't waste this time, even if he has nothing to do, he has to use this time to do something.
Some people may ask, since there is nothing to do, what can be done, in fact, it is very simple, Zhang Fan does not need to do too much now, he only needs to treat what is in front of him as a vacation, in short, it is to make a look of leisure and leisure, and enjoy the mountains and rivers.
In addition, the weather here, especially in winter, is really good, although it is already November, but the temperature here is not as cold as it is, it is unacceptably cold, in fact, for Zhang Fan and other people from the capital, the winter here is at best a little colder than the late autumn season in the capital, this weather, it really makes people can't help but want to be active.
So, that is to say, what Zhang Fan has to do now is very simple, that is, just walk around, plus be able to pass the boring time of Liang Chao to check people, so why not do it, so that afternoon, such a group of people appeared on the streets of Chengdu.
In addition, today is also a rare good weather here, the weather is also very sunny, and the streets are full of people, so Zhang Fan is such a group of people, although the style is really bigger, plus Joanna's exotic face, and the exotic clothes that he is still not too willing to change into, have attracted a lot of attention, but that's all.
And it wasn't until the end of the day that it was almost over, and Liang Chao rushed over.
However, Zhang Fan didn't blame Liang Chao for anything, after all, the later he came, it means that there are really a lot of things he can use.
