Chapter 178: Want to Slip Away? Dream!

Zhao Ming, the main book of the ninth grade, is considered the number one person in Anqiu County, but in the yamen of the Qingzhou prefect, he is not much better than a small guy. Although he has been here several times when he accompanied the successive magistrates to meet Shangguan, and he will go to give gifts from time to time during the New Year's holidays, the prefect is the official of the four products, where he says he will see him, and he is a housekeeper who deals with him on weekdays. He really couldn't do anything about it today, so he ruthlessly stuffed the housekeeper with a red envelope of 300 bills, and then he was able to enter the house.

Naturally, the gift that the butler handed over to the prefect was not shabby, but a chain of South China Sea beads that he had obtained in his early years. The pearls are not only superb, but also uniform and almost no difference in size. If there was no such thing to offer, he would not have dared to come at all, and he would not have seen anyone at all.

At this time, he sat diagonally on the chair, feigning his composure and looking around the room. The large kang near the window was covered with a turquoise blanket, a dark green backrest pillow and a mattress, and there were three chairs on each side of the ground, and between the chairs there was a high table, and on top of it were just small vases and other ornaments. The one in the corner of the wall is carved with exquisite patterns, but it is different from the other high ones, and there is a jade screen carved with peony patterns on it.

The first time he waited in such an elegant and quiet place, and for that purpose, Zhao Ming was really uneasy. After being the chief bookkeeper for so many years, it was the first time he truly understood the meaning of the eight words of the Broken Family County Order and the Destruction of the Gate Yin. At present, he is desperate, even if the prefect's path may not work, while Zhang Yue is not there, he can only give it a try. Anyway, a few years ago, the prefect Yamen sent a message, and he wiped the case properly, which can be regarded as some good karma.

"The prefect has arrived."

Hearing this, Zhao Ming hurriedly stood up. As the wide-bodied prefect slowly entered the door, he immediately took three steps and two steps to greet him. When the prefect sat on the east side of the kang, he expected Ai Ai to say what he had asked for here, and even vaguely said that Zhang Yue and Du commanded Liu Zhong to make friends, and so on. Who knew that after the words were finished, the other party actually looked at him with an unusually sneering gaze.

"Master Zhao, I don't care about the affairs of your Anqiu County, it's not that I don't want to take care of it. It's too lazy to care, after all, you haven't tossed out any big public grievances, and the money and grain are paid on time every year, and I don't need to manage too much as the prefect, right? ”

The prefect said this slowly, and when he saw Zhao Mingcheng standing up in fear to salute, he ignored it. Then he said neatly: "You are wrong to look away, and mistakenly take Honghu for a bird, so you will offend that little Zhang Zhixian." Since you have come to me, I might as well give you a truth. You are a treasure in Anqiu County, but how can you look down on this small place in the eyes of others? Xiao Zhang Zhixian is the nephew of the British commons. How can I see you in the same way? Assist this well, as long as you have some political achievements, do you want to mix in the position of the main book for the rest of your life? ”

What else did the prefect order and remind him of next, but Zhao Ming almost just listened in a daze. Even after leaving the prefect's yamen and getting into the carriage, his head was still a little dizzy. When he was in Guozijian, the place he was most afraid of was the rope hall, and at that time, Guozijian sacrificial wine was the biggest official in his eyes. After a few years as the chief bookkeeper, the prefect became an unattainable boss again. Who knew that they thought they were offended by such a person.

"British ......"

Returning to his home with a muttering voice, he finally thought of a question when his head sobered up - although Luo Wei was a distant relative of the left politician of the political secretary, did he know the news? What if so? Think about it. He still decided not to consult with Luo Wei anymore, lest Xinzhi County, who is now more and more well-informed, think that they are still linking, which will be very bad. At this time, he was already regretting, he knew that Zhang Yue had a deep background, why did he suffer before?

The prefect said it well, as long as he has a good relationship with this prefect, what is the interest of this big fart now? Thinking of this, Zhao Ming immediately sent two servants out to investigate. I was going to wait for Zhang Yue to show my loyalty as soon as he came back. He had already made up his mind at this point. Even if you break your head, you have to show that you are determined to change your past. It is expected that when Xinzhi County is employing people, it is just a matter of giving him a little hardship.

However, the magistrate had not yet returned, but he waited for the official document from the ministry. What was supposed to be given to the magistrate was handed over to him and Luo Wei by name, so when he received an official letter from that person, he was naturally uneasy. By the time he finished sweeping the words on the ground, he was even more stunned, and his body was almost as cold as ice.

Anqiu County is a lower county according to the number of household registrations in the yellow register, and it is not appropriate to set up a county master book, and the county master should be transferred to other upper counties? Damn, they've been here for seven or eight years, and why hasn't anyone ever said a word, and all of a sudden, there's such a thing?

Zhao Ming and Luo Wei glanced at each other, and they both saw the horror in each other's eyes. At the beginning, I thought that I could level Xinzhi County with three punches and two kicks, but who would have thought that people would catch their dead hole all at once without making a sound. What should they do, what can they do? At that moment, they suddenly heard a voice.

"Zhao Xiancheng, Master Luo, the master is back, saying that there is something important to ask the two scholars to discuss."

The two of them hadn't seen who the messenger was, but they saw each other hurriedly turn around and leave. Thinking that in the past, those errand servants were respectful and smiling at themselves, but now they all fell to the other side, how did they think about it. But now is not the time to suffer from gains and losses, so they hurriedly put away the official letter and rushed to the back office's study.

In addition to the two family members at the door of the study, there was also Peng Shisan, seeing these two guys who used to find excuses to avoid being summoned in the past, he couldn't help but laugh at this time, and immediately pushed open the door himself: "My lord, Zhao Xiancheng and Master Luo are here." ”

Crossing the threshold, he saw Ma Cheng sitting on the second chair in the west of Zhang Yue's head, and Luo Wei and Zhao Mingdeng, who thought they had come fast enough, chuckled in their hearts. remembered that he couldn't shirk it when he went to invite Ma Cheng several times before, but it turned out that he was the first to lose sincerity and take refuge, and the two of them suddenly hated each other.

Zhang Yue didn't care what these two guys thought, and he couldn't show any smiles at this time. Seeing Peng 13 come in and close the door, there were two more family members guarding outside, so that no one could hear the conversation here. He coughed lightly and went straight to the point: "I came to you today because I have a big matter to discuss with you. 'The mud comes from the chaos of Qi, and the white lotus is prosperous', have you three heard of this sentence? ”

Although Ma Cheng was more determined than Luo Wei and Zhao Ming, he didn't know why Zhang Yue summoned people in such a hurry. At this time, when he heard this inexplicable sentence that seemed to be a nursery rhyme, not a nursery rhyme, like a couplet, not a couplet, he was immediately confused. It wasn't until he heard Luo Wei on the other side burst out a few words that he was suddenly startled.

"My lord, this is a proverbial couplet from the White Lotus Sect?"

"Not bad." Zhang Yue nodded slightly. Xuan even asked, "Now there are rumors in Anqiu and other places that the Buddha Mother Peacock King Ming is reincarnated, and he wants to cross the world to be blissful." Whenever the reincarnated Buddha Mother went to preach, hundreds of people flocked to preach and worship her. There are a lot of various sayings that have been circulated among the people, and the local Lizheng almost never mentions this matter, but I am new to this place, and I am fortunate to have seen it once today. Because of this sentence, I have some doubts that it is the White Lotus Sect. I asked you two to come over today just to ask you what you have to do. ”

The three of Luo Wei have heard of the word Buddha Mother, and they have never taken it to heart, after all, there are many fox fairy stone Buddhas and the like that that the people believe. A mere Buddha mother is just a fool and a fool woman who made it up to get rid of people. However, after hearing that Zhang Yue had actually heard it in person, and believed that it was the White Lotus Sect, the three of them gradually turned pale. Although I would like to refute this as alarmist. But the two guys who thought they had completely figured out Zhang Yue's identity finally shut up, but they already had a sense in their hearts.

Although Zhu Di, the Yongle Emperor, was not as harsh as Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, he was not merciless in killing people. In the past, when the Japanese invaded, whenever the coastal invaded and plundered, the political envoy and the commander of the guard or the official such as the inspection envoy were all a dead word, and there were local displaced people who rebelled, or there were natural and man-made disasters that did not deal with it attentively, and the county magistrate and so on were often dismissed from their posts and never used by the common people. There were also many places of execution. If this is really a local White Lotus Sect, if one of them is not handled well, won't they also die? What is the future compared to life!

At this time, the two finally remembered the thin piece of paper they were holding in their hands, and the news that had just made people frightened became a straw to grasp.

So, after exchanging glances without a trace, Luo Wei respectfully handed over the official letter he had just received. Then he said some good things with laughter. Zhao Ming now completely left behind the words of the Qingzhou prefect. is just blindly respectful and humble, and just wants to leave Shandong to find another job. Thinking that Zhang Yue was the nephew of the British duke, if he tried to transfer Huguang far, this hand would not be able to reach too far.

Listening to the wisdom of these lowly and stupid adults, and the words that they hated not being able to serve their adults, Zhang Yue felt boundless disgust after the initial shock. These two guys have made enough oil and water locally, and they don't want to share the responsibility and blame for the crime, so they still think that they can run away by saying good things like this?

Although I don't know who is preparing this order to give him the icing on the cake, but if you want to take advantage of this luck, then the abacus is shrewd! If he lets them run away, he won't have to be the magistrate!

Holding back his annoyance, Zhang Yue said a few words to the two lightly, and when Luo Wei Zhao Ming said goodbye, the door was closed again, and he looked at Ma Cheng, who was sitting there motionless, and then asked with a smile: "What does Ma Dianshi have to say?" ”

Ma Cheng suddenly got up from his seat, and said with a deep sigh in front of him: "My lord, I think that Luo Xiancheng and Zhao are timid and afraid, and it is understandable to use those two official documents to prepare to avoid this matter, but the stakes are very high, and they must not be allowed to leak the news!" According to the humble position, the adults still have to arrange it as soon as possible, otherwise their family will be full of mouths, and Anqiu may spoil the adult's big event! ”

Under Zhang Yue's blazing gaze, he had a selfless face.
