Yangzhou Mansion, Mansion, Torture Hall.

Wang Zheng, the governor of Yangzhou Mansion, stared at a young man with a pockmarked face below and said sharply: "Zhao Er Mazi, do you recruit or not?" ”

Zhao Er Mazi is naturally not the full name of the person below, and at this time there is still a four-character name in vogue, this person's name is Zhao Er, just because his face is full of pockmarks, so he got the nickname "Zhao Er Mazi".

Zhao Er Mazi has the same occupation as Father-in-law Wei before the palace, he is also a scoundrel in the market, and he gambles with Father-in-law Wei, and more coincidentally, he also loses a mess.

However, after all, the palace needs courage, he didn't have the ruthlessness to chop up his children and grandchildren, and went to the palace to find his predecessor Wei Gonggong to eat.

The method he chose was to steal, on a dark and windy night, he went to the old store of the Zhang family that sold jewelry in the city to steal a gold bracelet, sold it for twenty or thirty taels of silver, not only paid back the gambling debt, but also went to Hualiu Lane to be chic!

He thought that what he had done was unaware, but in fact it was quite a loophole, because he sold the gold bracelet to get the silver, and this matter must not be hidden.

Therefore, when he was still sleeping in the bed of his old friend Xiao Chrysanthemum in Hualiu Lane, he was arrested and quickly taken out of the bed and escorted to the government torture hall.

Naturally, it was impossible to recruit, he pretended to be innocent and shouted, "Wronged, my lord." ”

There are a lot of helpless Wang Zheng in this kind of market, there is not enough evidence to make them confess, so you can only beat, and if he can't stand it anymore, he will naturally recruit.

These guys, it's just an itchy butt, Wang Zheng snorted coldly, and then shouted: "Come on, hit him with twenty boards first!" ”

Zhao Er Mazi suddenly felt that the buttocks were tight, twenty boards, it's not a joke, and hit him with twenty boards first, which means, if you don't recruit, there will be a lot of twenty boards below?

Just as he hesitated, a shout suddenly came from outside: "Wait." ”

Wang Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: "Does this guy have anything to do with Lord Wu?" I've never heard of it! ”

Zhao Er Mazi was also stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart: "Do I have a backstage?" No, who is this, so kind to help! ”

The person who came was Wang Zheng's top boss, and the Yangzhou Mansion sentenced Wu Haoshan, he was not kind enough to help Zhao Ermazi, he came to find Wang Zheng.

As soon as he entered, he said to the officials who were about to make a plank: "Take the prisoners down first." ”

This general judge is the top boss of the magistrate, and those officials naturally listen to the general judge, as soon as Wu Haoshan spoke, they immediately set up Zhao Er Mazi and left.

At this time, Wang Zheng's face was already a little ugly, and he could know by looking at the expressions of Wu Haoshan and Zhao Ermazi that the two didn't know each other at all, but this Lord Wu didn't hesitate to interrupt himself to ask about the case, could it be that the East Window incident happened!

The so-called East Window incident is not that he did anything bad.

He did something that was more likely to happen than bad things, and he didn't go to worship the ancestral hall of Gonggong Wei!

This ancestral hall was built by the governor Mao Yilu, this worship activity was personally organized by the prefect, almost all the officials of Yangzhou Mansion went to worship it, only he and another Shaanxi fellow did not go, this thing is famous in Yangzhou Mansion, and the good people also specially gave him a nickname "Kansai Erjin".

I don't know if the word "strength" is to admire their ruthlessness or ridicule their stupidity, this matter, if you let Grandpa Wei know, it will be light to masturbate them, in case Grandpa Wei heard it when he was in a bad mood, it is very likely that they will be arrested and put in the Jinyi Guard Prison, and the whole person will go in, and the skeleton shelf will come out!

Wang Zheng stood up with a solemn face, and arched his hand: "Lord Wu, who are you?" ”

He was a little afraid to ask what was going on, anyway, he was either dismissed or imprisoned in Jinyiwei.

He hoped that it would be dismissed and the Jinyi guard would be imprisoned, he really didn't want to go, not that he was afraid of death, he just didn't want to be tortured to death like that.

Unexpectedly, Wu Haoshan suddenly arched his hand with a smile on his face and said, "Congratulations, Lord Wang!" ”

Congratulations? What is there to congratulate? Looking at Wu Haoshan like this, it doesn't look like he is talking back and mocking.

Wang Zheng couldn't help but bow back: "Lord Wu, my subordinates dare to ask, where does this joy come from?" ”

When Wu Haoshan heard this, he suddenly took out Zhang Gongwen from his arms, handed it to him like a treasure, and continued to flatter: "Lord Wang is too polite, I don't dare to claim to be a subordinate in front of the lower officials in the future." ”

Lower officials? That's right, my immediate boss actually claimed to be a subordinate in front of me, what the hell is going on!

Wang Zheng inexplicably took the official document and looked at it, and was stunned.

It turned out to be an official document sent by the Ministry of Officials of the Southern Capital: Wang Zheng, the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, was promoted to the Fujian City Governor and went to work on the same day, and there must be no mistake.

Why doesn't this official document look a little unreal?

At the beginning, the promotion of the city's Bo Si was a civil official, but since the first year of Yongle, it has been changed to a eunuch, is it now changed back?

Also, this Fujian is not under the control of the Ministry of Officials of the Southern Capital, and if you want to issue an order, it should also be issued by the Ministry of Officials in the capital, is the appointment of the Ministry of Officials of the Southern Capital useful?

What's even more unreasonable is that this city's Bo Si is promoted from the fifth grade, and he is a seventh-grade promoter, and he has been promoted to three levels for no reason, just kidding!

What's going on here?

It turned out that when Zhang Bin and Sun Yuanhua mentioned Wang Zheng, Sun Yuanhua was immediately happy, they were close friends, and it was naturally good to work together.

However, his last sentence made Zhang Binlei not light, he said, Wang Zheng is serving as a magistrate in Yangzhou Mansion!

These words really made Zhang Bin thunder, because he thought that Wang Zheng was idle at home, so he wrote a letter and asked him to send Xi'an urgently for 800 miles, and Wang Zheng actually served in Yangzhou for a long time, and this thing was done.

Fortunately, Sun Yuanhua knew Wang Zheng, otherwise, he might not be able to wait for Wang Zheng for a few months.

However, Wang Zheng's position in Yangzhou Mansion is a troublesome matter, he is the governor of Fujian, not the secretary of the ministry, how can he casually call an incumbent official?

He racked his brains and thought about it for a long time, and finally came up with a way, directly asked his third brother Zhang San to give Bi Maokang a thousand taels of silver, and asked Bi Maokang to drag the relationship to the Nandu Ministry of Officials Wenxuan Shilangzhong, buy a transfer order, and transfer Wang Zheng over!

As a result, Wang Zheng received such an inexplicable order.

Is this appointment legitimate? Definitely not legal!

There are too many problems, the matter of the city secretary being a eunuch has not been changed, and the Southern Metropolitan Ministry has no right to appoint and dismiss Fujian officials.

However, Zhang Bin did this, and if he didn't do it, in a short period of time, he didn't want to transfer Wang Zheng over at all.

Besides, he didn't want the city to be a eunuch in the future, because in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the eunuchs in the palace, except for Cao Huachun and Wang Chengen, were more or less related to Wei Zhongxian, and there were few good things!

Can such a ridiculous order transfer bring Wang Zheng over?

Not to mention, no one in Yangzhou Government doubted this appointment at all, and Wang Zheng only hesitated for a while before going directly to Fujian to take office.

At this time when Gonggong Wei was in power, there were many absurd things, and inexplicable loss of official and even loss of life happened from time to time, this inexplicable promotion, who would doubt it!
