Chapter 174: The hot potato can't be shaken off
"It's a look, this time it's really a look......"
Thinking that he would be played around by a young magistrate, Luo Wei's breathlessness was not to mention. Looking back now, he actually found that he had fallen into the middle of the rock from the beginning. At first, he was born in a small family and didn't understand anything, but later he thought that he was the son of a family who only earned face and didn't understand affairs, and then he thought that it was for Liwei and didn't care about the interests...... It wasn't until now that he realized that everything was fake, and that he was the only one who was stupid and meticulous in every step.
"Sir." The personal servant who entered the study saw Luo Wei's face full of despair, and he didn't have the confidence he had in the past, and he couldn't help but feel worried in his heart, "Master Zhao said that he was not happy and couldn't come......"
"Get out!"
Luo Weideng's heart was on fire, and after driving the personal servant out, he gritted his teeth and slapped him the high table. Zhao Ming didn't come because he was afraid, the two of them have been in charge of affairs in Anqiu County for many years, and the back of this ass is naturally unclean, otherwise he would not be able to expose his shortcomings even a little lizheng. It is said that the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, he ushered in and sent to many county commanders, and every time he won a big victory, why did he meet such a person this time?
"Old man......"
Hearing this call from outside, Luo Wei only felt that his heart was on fire, and he stepped forward in three or two steps to open the door himself, and asked angrily: "I didn't say it when I should have said it just now, and now I'm shouting outside!" What's the bad news to report together! β
The personal servant hurriedly held a letter in both hands, and said cautiously: "The little one doesn't dare to disturb the master three times and twice, it was just a letter sent by the Zuo Shenzheng from the Political Secretary of Jinan Prefecture." The little one had asked several times before, so when the letter was sent in, the little one didn't dare to slack off, so he immediately took it himself. The messenger ......"
Luo Wei, who was full of anxiety, seemed to grasp a life-saving straw at this moment, and his eyes lit up for a while. Hurriedly interrupted: "Is the person who sent the letter still there?" β
"The man delivered the letter and left." Seeing Luo Wei's face stiffened, as if he was about to get angry immediately, the little guy hurriedly explained, "Of course, the little one rushed up and wanted to keep him, but who knew that he said that Zuo had a strict order to participate in politics, and he didn't dare to stay." β
Knowing that no matter how much he asked, it would be in vain, Luo Wei naturally wanted to know what was said in the letter, took the letter, closed the door, and sat down behind the bookcase. He unwrapped the seal of the fire paint seal in two or two, pulled out the few pieces of letterhead, and hurriedly browsed them. After reading the first one, he couldn't help but gasp, and actually pushed away the chair and stood up, and then felt palpitations.
Thankfully, fortunately! He originally planned to post anonymously to the prefect's yamen or the political secretary, but who would have thought that this kid would still be the proud disciple of the new political envoy? That's not the same as a teacher and a protΓ©gΓ©, but a real teacher and disciple! If he sues him, people will spray him in the face. Then it will be a big problem!
After reading the whole letter in a hurry, he found that Zuo Xuan didn't mention Zhang Yue's family history at all, and he couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and wanted to write a reply to ask, but when he thought of the impatient tone on the letter just now. He pressed that thought, knowing that if he asked too much, he was afraid that he would annoy others. The question is, now that he has offended Zhang Yue severely, what should he do?
Zhang Yue had dinner that day. So he wrote a letter to his home in the study. Less than half a month after taking office, what happened to him was something that he couldn't do for a year and a half when he was at home in the past, and he felt quite ups and downs when he thought about it. Although he relied on his strong background to overwhelm the three old oilmen of officialdom, if he can't make achievements in some things, he can't be able to suppress it alone. What's more, the word "political performance" is extremely difficult to say, what can a seven-grade sesame official really achieve?
And the matter of the White Lotus Sect is even more difficult to say. It was done vigorously, and the name of the prosperous years was ruined, and the Son of Heaven may not be happy; messed up, this is not just him, but I am afraid that the provincial officials will be hung up......
"Young master, Ma Dianshi asks to see you."
Hearing the sound outside, Zhang Yue couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. He thought that Luo Wei and Zhao Ming would be soft, but he didn't want Ma Cheng to come first. In those days, when the yamen was overstretched. Others have taken leave. But this person has a sick face, and he is stunned to order on time every day. The office is also conscientious, so that people can't find the slightest mistake. Therefore, after a moment of silence, he put down his pen and ordered: "Please come in." β
Ma Cheng ushered in no less than dozens of magistrates to be sent to the county, and I don't know how many times this study has been in and out, but there is a strange feeling when I step in today. The books on the bookshelf were neatly placed, and the bookcase had never been changed, but the four treasures of the study on it were different from those he had seen before, and he didn't know where they came from. There is a copper tripod on the pine crane wood carving in the corner of the bookcase, and I don't know what spices are burning in the Ding furnace, but the smell is fresh, and there is no greasy feeling at all.
After he bowed neatly, he sat down on the first chair under Zhang Yue's head, but said with a sincere smile: "I haven't seen any changes in the furnishings here, but I feel different as soon as I come in." What kind of incense is burned in this furnace, and how can it smell to make people feel refreshed? β
"How can there be so much attention when going out, it's just some leaf incense, it's all tossed by three girls, I'm not good at this, and I don't know what flowers and grass are in it." Zhang Yue saw that Ma Cheng was beating around the bush, so he was naturally not in a hurry, "If Ma Dianshi likes it, I will ask the three of them when the time comes, if it is convenient to pack a bag for you." β
"Thank you, sir." Ma Cheng hurriedly bowed and said with a smile, "I have always been in poor health, and I am prone to a headache and brain fever, people say that this good spice may be able to alleviate one or two, and I can't afford to do it, and no one in the family understands those flowers and grasses." In fact, our county is not only inferior to the land of Jinan, the capital of Qingzhou, but also the poorest place in Shandong. On weekdays, there is little income and the people are poor, so the successive magistrates are trying to transfer to other places. β
This is to the point, Zhang Yue nodded and said: "I can also see this, so Ma Dianshi can work here for more than ten years, which is not only an old qualification, but also a high level of hard work." Everyone else took a leave of absence before, but you still came every day, and I have to thank you for it. β
At this time, Ma Cheng finally couldn't sit still. Hurriedly stood up and took a deep look: "Adults don't blame, lowly duties are grateful, where do you dare to be an adult?" Don't hide it from adults, the first two girls were not left by Qian Zhixian County, but from Huixiang Building, Qingzhou Mansion, and they were bought by humble positions...... No, it should be said that it was sent by someone else. β
Seeing that Zhang Yue was unmoved, he still had that smiling expression. Ma Cheng couldn't help but feel a little hot behind him. However, today those two girls were sent back, and cried in front of him, he was already a head and two big, and it was not easy to drive people and stay, so he came to visit this one now.
At this time, he had no choice but to explain: "Lord Haojiao learned that the lowly leader heard that Xinzhi County was coming. I planned to go to Qingzhou Mansion to find two good-looking girls, but I met a nobleman. The noble retinue happened to know the lowly position, so he asked two questions, and as soon as he heard about it, he actually gave me the two girls he had just bought from Huixianglou. said that it was time to be a girl for adults. Because the noble man commanded the lowly duty not to speak out, the lowly duty had to hide it from the lord before. β
Ma Cheng kept saying that he was a nobleman, Zhang Yue was already very vigilant at this time, and after a little thought, he asked, "Who is that noble person in your mouth?" β
"Yes......" Since Ma Cheng came, he knew that he would have to say it sooner or later. However, at this time, he couldn't help but pause, and then gritted his teeth and said, "That's His Royal Highness the Prince of Han." β
Han Wang ...... The Son? Zhang Yue just thought of Zhu Zhanqi, the king of Hengshan who had been beaten by the court rod before, but then he thought that he had now changed the title of King Shouguang, and he had a grudge against himself, and he was a straw bag county king who had no heart, not to mention giving gifts, it would be good not to hold a grudge against him. Categorically will not give gifts. At this time, when he heard that it was the prince of the Han Dynasty, he couldn't help but be stunned. At that moment, he looked at Ma Cheng thoughtfully, because he asked again, "What did he say when he gave it to you?" β
Seeing that Zhang Yue was only slightly stunned, Ma Cheng seemed to be unimpressed by the name that others sounded terrified, and suddenly felt a little more awe. But what kind of person is the prince of Han, his old friend is the ceremonial of the Han Dynasty, and he is just a sesame mung bean official, how can people say anything to him? However. Zhang Yue asked. He had to search his intestines and scrape his stomach, and after a while, he finally remembered that the prince of Han had said a sentence to a scribe-like figure beside him.
"His Royal Highness has not said anything to the lowly position. The humble post heard him and a person beside him say that the second brother acted recklessly, not only moved the whip, but also went to the door of the house, and now since the family came to Shandong to take office, they should compensate one or two, these two women are virgins, and they are also rare beauties in Qingzhou Mansion, so they sent them over as a gift. β
Ma Cheng didn't understand what this meant, but Zhang Yue was clear in his heart. But now that he knows the reason, even if it is a "good intention" from the prince of Han, he doesn't like that kind of woman who scratches his head and gestures, so he doesn't dare to regain it at this time. Where did he dare to ask for such a hot potato?
At that moment, he instructed Ma Cheng to arrange an errand for the two girls in the back office, and gave a few more instructions, seeing that the dianshi who was still a little apprehensive when he came left with a relaxed face, his heart was a little heavy.
One is the White Lotus Sect, which has not yet been accurate, and the other is the Han King who is as grumpy as the Son of Heaven, why did he and Du Zhen just spread out in Shandong, a land that is destined not to be peaceful?
Thinking that tomorrow would be October 15, and the so-called Buddha Mother who was the reincarnation of the Peacock Daming King would come to Anqiu County to preach, and that place only had a little eyebrows, Zhang Yue rubbed his temples even more annoyedly.
The so-called White Lotus Sect naturally does not blatantly operate around in the name of the White Lotus Sect, and the name of this reincarnated Buddha Mother can attract countless believers, and it is even more difficult to say if it shows any miracles. People didn't raise the banner of the White Lotus Sect, even if he knew where they were preaching, if he directly arrested people, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get out first.
