Without a Trace Volume 9 Jiangshan Chapter 15 Coincidental Encounter

Shi Mingquan's bullet made the capital boiling, because he was a clear fold, so the fold has not arrived, and the content has been spread all over the world. Not only are the court officials talking about this matter in their mansions, but even the Shengdou people in the streets and alleys are also talking about the reason, as if they are excited about the fact that there is a Qingtian lord for the imperial court. However, several loyal and upright courtiers were invariably very angry, and it must be known that it is an official task to observe the people's feelings, but it cannot be released when the evidence is not complete, not to mention that the impeachment of Shi Mingquan is an official of Gansu Tong Province, and even the governor Fang Mingjian has also swept in.
At the court meeting on this day, without waiting for the emperor to speak, Haiguanyu came out to suggest that Shi Mingquan be transferred back to the capital, and the meaning was very clear. For such a suggestion of the old Cheng holding the country, He Weitao of the Criminal Department naturally agreed, and what the people hoped for was that the blue sky was true, but if the provincial officials were replaced, who could guarantee that the new officials would be honest, maybe it would become even worse. Nowadays, the corruption of the officials is already a stubborn disease, so it cannot be cured by strong medicine, but can only be eradicated little by little.
Feng Wuxian glanced at Bao Huasheng at the bottom of the stairs, and couldn't help but have a smile on his face, this matter was agreed by them the day before, and at this time, Hai Guanyu proposed that it was naturally the best. "Ladies and gentlemen, I know what you mean, Shi Mingquan is a speech official, and there is no fault in impeaching corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but he is the imperial court this time, and he is presiding over a major disaster relief event, so this kind of twist and turn is out of place at this juncture." Seeing that everyone was relieved, he nodded lightly, "I have also discussed this matter with Bao Aiqing. Immediately recall Shi Mingquan. β
Everyone couldn't help but raise their heads, waiting for the next step of the wind without a trace. "Well, disaster relief is urgent. From now on, the former Zhan Shifu Shao Zhan Shi Zuo Jin Huan served as the right deputy capital of the imperial history. Fan Hengwen, the former son of Zuo Chunfang of Zhan Shifu, went to Gansu to preside over disaster relief for the six departments of the Supervision Yuan. After the disaster relief was completed, the two of them thoroughly investigated the so-called collusion between officials in Tong Province in Gansu Province and accepting bribes from grain merchants. β
As soon as the emperor's decree was given, the officials of the court immediately understood. So to speak. The three young officials in Zhan Shifu are all descendants of the emperor, and it is natural that they are now entrusted with great responsibilities. Several senior officials looked at each other for a while, and at the same time realized that the pattern of the DPRK and China was changing, and it was inevitable that the upstart would come to power, and they had to make plans in advance.
After learning of his promotion and the new envoy, Zuo Jinhuan and others were all overjoyed. Although Li Junda was not promoted this time, the three of them knew in their hearts that it was only a matter of time. Besides, Li Junda has become one of the eighteen examiners of this spring, and the scene of protΓ©gΓ©s all over the world in the future can be described as even grander. Fan Hengwen remembered the encounter back then, and couldn't help but feel emotional. I can't imagine that a casual encounter can involve so much. However, in his memories, he remembered the ungrateful Zhang Shuming again, and his face suddenly became gloomy again.
The elated Zuo Jinhuan did not notice the expression of his companion. He immediately proposed to go out to celebrate, if it weren't for the fact that the emperor of Feng Wuxian couldn't easily see him now, he almost wanted to enter the palace immediately and ask for a meeting. Li Junda saw that Fan Hengwen was at a loss, so he dragged the other party out without asking.
He didn't know what his friend was thinking, but no matter how sad the past was, he was not like Fan Hengwen who was temperamental.
The three of them went to Shui Yu to smoke noisily, and they didn't go up to the third floor, but directly found a private seat on the second floor and sat down. They are all frequent visitors here, and they have been promoted at this time, and they are undoubtedly upstarts in the court, so of course the shopkeeper Li Qiao is to serve his men diligently. When he was drunk, the sharp-eyed Li Junda inadvertently glanced at a figure at the top of the stairs, and his face suddenly became gloomy, but his disguise skills were really good, and he immediately turned his head over, lest Fan Hengwen find out.
However, it was no coincidence that the man didn't seem to have any intention of going up to the third floor, so Shi Shiran walked towards the three of them, followed by the two long-term followers. "Where don't we meet at the end of the world, Brother Hengwen, Brother Junda, it's been a long time!" The person who came had a calm smile on his face, and a well-fitting moon-white robe set him off with a very refreshing spirit, coupled with the bottomless pupils, it was enough to add three points of momentum to the visitor. This person was Zhang Shuming, the political envoy of Zhejiang, who received the document from the ministry and went to Beijing to report on his work.
Among the three, although Zuo Jinhuan vaguely knew that Fan Hengwen and Li Junda had a grudge with others, he didn't know the details. He didn't pay attention to the expressions of the other two, so he smiled and said, "It turns out that this brother Tai and my two friends know each other, that's really fate!" He saw that there was still a vacant seat on the other side of the table, so he beckoned: "It is also fate to meet, since Brother Tai is a friend of the two of them, then you might as well sit down and catch up." He greeted the man as he asked the man to add a pair of chopsticks.
Fan Hengwen suddenly snorted coldly: "I can't afford such a friend!" Presumably, if I kicked you down, I could make you Zhang Shuming an official and become a knight, you wouldn't be polite? His fists were clenched tightly, and his forehead was even more bruised, and he looked like he was about to lose his breath.
Li Junda next to him was deeper than his city mansion, and he pressed Fan Hengwen's body, and then smiled:
"It's naturally good to be able to meet Brother Zhang again, Hengwen's temperament has always been like this, please don't mind Brother Zhang." He glared at Fan Hengwen fiercely, as if he was reprimanding the other party for his instability.
"Where, where, since the two of you have no opinion, then I will sit down unceremoniously." A hint of imperceptible contempt flashed in Zhang Shuming's eyes, and he sat down on his own, still looking casual.
Zuo Jinhuan on the side was a little confused, at this time he had already seen the tense situation between the three of them, and he couldn't help but be surprised. However, since he hadn't had a seizure, he didn't want to ask in detail, so he motioned to the guy to add a few dishes and asked for a big pot of Bijiang Han. The four of them, each with their own thoughts, also drank wine and talked about some miscellaneous matters from time to time, but they all kept silent about politics.
Although there was a lot of ridicule in Fan Hengwen and Li Junda's words, Zhang Shuming was very well cultivated, always with a gentle smile on his face, and never had a seizure, which made the other two people angry, but they could only pretend to be disapprehensive on their faces. Zuo Jinhuan felt that the two of them were too small-bellied, and he couldn't help but feel a little disappreciative in his heart, and he was extremely enthusiastic about Zhang Shuming.
Zuo Jinhuan saw that Zhang Shuming's speech and demeanor revealed everyone's demeanor, and he couldn't help but pay more attention. He was even more surprised to see that the two entourages were standing motionless behind their masters, rarely raising their heads, and they looked like servants of a wealthy family. He knows the details of Fan Hengwen and Li Junda very well, it is impossible to have any relationship with the wealthy family in Beijing, how can he have a grudge with the person opposite?
He suddenly realized that he hadn't asked the other party's name and surname so far, and Fan and Li hadn't introduced it, so he hurriedly smiled and asked, "Brother Tai, it was really an omission just now, we talked for so long, I don't know if you can tell you the origin?" Although he has been an official for a long time, he still can't remember so many civil and military officials in the DPRK and China, not to mention that the person who came seems to be a foreign official. At this moment, with his drunkenness, Zuo Jinhuan didn't worry about any rudeness.
As soon as the words fell, Fan Hengwen interjected with a sneering face: "It turns out that Brother Zuo doesn't know his origin yet, so I will tell him for him." This is Uncle Zhang Mingzhang, who came to Zhejiang Domain at a young age, and he is a model for my generation. β
Zuo Jinhuan couldn't help but be surprised, and at the same time, many diners on the second floor were stunned. Fan Hengwen's voice was quite heavy just now, so many people listened to it, and no one expected that such a big official would not sit here on the third floor but deign to sit here, and there was an uproar.
Zhang Shuming only frowned slightly, and then said with a solemn smile: "I didn't expect that Brother Hengwen still took my affairs to heart, otherwise how would he know my official position?" It was indeed my fault back then, and I don't shy away from it. It's just for a love word, and if the two of you never forgive, then I have nothing to say. Brother Zuo, I am really happy to meet such a friend as you today, I salute you! He poured a glass of wine full, then raised his hands high, and hurriedly drank it all after seeing Zuo Jinhuan accept it.
It wasn't until Zhang Shuming left under the pretext that Fan and Li's expressions improved, but they still looked stiff. Zuo Jinhuan really couldn't see it, so he asked about it, and Li Junda told him about the situation of the day one by one, and there was a bit of disdain and contempt in his speech. Zuo Jinhuan couldn't imagine that there was such a public case between the three of them, and then thought of the personable Zhang Shuming's personable and extraordinary appearance, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed deeply.
Zhang Shuming was very satisfied with his speech and demeanor today, he naturally knew that Fan and Li were now the emperor's cronies, and although he was only one step away from the feudal officials, he was far inferior to the two of them when it came to the holy family, so he deliberately showed goodwill. Now it seems that the knot between Fan and Li may be really difficult to eliminate, but there is still the possibility of Zuo Jinhuan handing over. Over the years, he has not only worked hard in local government affairs, but also made great progress in knowledge.
"Master, are you going to visit Lord Tang?" A long-term attendant saw the master stop and ponder under the walls of the Tang family, and couldn't help but remind, "Presumably Mrs. Tang will be very happy." β
Zhang Shuming frowned slightly, and after a moment, he changed to the same gentle color as always. "Well, this time I have a rare opportunity to return to Beijing, so I should naturally visit my father-in-law and mother-in-law." He knew very well that although the two people who accompanied him were capable, they were the roles that his mother-in-law placed beside him, so he didn't show his true temperament when he was idle, "But it's always inappropriate to come to the door empty-handed, forget it today, and tomorrow you two will bring the gifts you prepared earlier, and it's not too late to visit your father-in-law and mother-in-law." β
The two hurriedly answered, and after glancing at each other, they still stood with their hands down. Although the original scholar Zhang has now declined, their master is extremely capable and ambitious, and maybe he will be able to go further in the future. Less than thirty years old, Zhang Shuming will sooner or later be more eye-catching than now. Although the orders of the Tang family's housewife did not dare to disobey, they did not dare to be too public. There are slaves on the left and right, and it is always more important to have a good master, if it really angers Zhang Shuming, it is easier for the other party to strangle them than to pinch an ant to death.
