Chapter 345 A grasshopper on a rope
After Zhou Zhi and Qi Yanwu came out of the county government, they parted ways with Zhao, and the two of them directly hired a carriage and hurried to Baoding Mansion.
From Zhou Zhi being escorted to the square to the people smashing the county government and robbing Rensheng's family, it was only a little more than an hour. Rensheng was driven away, and Ansu County was in a state of chaos and unmanaged, and the matter had to be reported to the prefect, Uncle Peng Ze, as soon as possible.
It was just noon, Zhou Zhi urged the coachman to speed up, and the carriage went towards Baoding Mansion at a gallop.
Ansu County is only fifty or sixty miles away from Baoding Mansion, the carriage runs, two hours later, the sky is nearly dusk, Zhou Zhi walked into Baoding Mansion.
Zhou Zhi has been to the Fu Mansion several times, and he is familiar with the road, passing through the front hall of the Fu Ya, and after being reported by the messenger guarding the door, Zhou Zhi and Qi Yanwu entered the back house.
Hearing that Zhou Zhi was coming, Peng Ze was waiting in the study.
Because no one reported it in time, Peng Ze didn't know anything about the affairs of Ansu County at this time. After Zhou Zhi greeted Peng Ze, he directly talked about what happened in Ansu County in detail.
Peng Ze likes Zhou Zhi very much, and talks about Zhou Zhi's uncle and nephew. Zhou Zhi didn't hide it at all, including that he also had ideas, wanting to use the people to put pressure on Rensheng, and then seek to get out, and the things about his acquaintance with Zhao were all revealed.
Rao is Peng Ze has been training in officialdom for a long time, and he has also experienced a lot of things, and his face changed after hearing about it.
I have to say that such a thing happened in Ansu County, and he is also responsible as the prefect. If the court blames it, Peng Ze really can't get out of it. Fortunately, Peng Ze is now very close to cabinet member Xie Qian, and Xie Qian, including Xu Pu, the first assistant of the cabinet, and the entire cabinet know a little about the situation in Ansu County.
Rensheng is Li Guang's person, and to a large extent, they have no choice. Although they are cabinet members, the assessment of officials is in the Ministry of Officials, and Shangshutu of the Ministry of Officials also turns a blind eye to Rensheng. In this way, Rensheng can do anything wrong in Ansu County, and no one cares about it.
Peng Ze thought for a while, and then arranged for Zhou Zhi to rest in his house for a night, and he immediately went to Ansu County to deal with it. After Peng Ze returned, Peng Ze still had something to say to Zhou Zhi.
Zhou Zhi still doesn't know much about many things in the Ming officialdom, so he obeyed Peng Ze's arrangement, and he and Qi Yanwu stayed at Peng Ze's house tonight.
Xiao Peng Yu was already overjoyed when he learned that Zhou Zhi's brother was coming, and when his father Peng Ze just left, he broke in and stuck with Zhou Zhi.
Last time, Xiao Peng Yu was very distressed because of reading, and he really didn't want to study. Now Xiao Pengyu has to read some books with his husband every day, but he is not the focus. What he prefers is to practice martial arts, so Peng Ze invited three martial arts teachers from the Quartet to teach Peng Ze martial arts every day.
From this point of view, Peng Ze and his wife's method of educating their children is still very appropriate, they know how to give full play to their children's strengths, and they are not forced.
It's just been three months since I saw him, and Xiao Pengyu's size has come out a lot, and his body is much stronger than before.
Xiao Peng Yu pestered Zhou Zhi to tell Zhou Zhi about what he had seen and heard in the capital, Zhou Zhi talked about the prince Zhu Houzhao, and Xiao Peng Yu simply asked about the prince with great interest.
Xiao Pengyu's mood is extremely good, although Zhou Zhi has been in a dull mood for the past two days, but under the infection of Xiao Pengyu, his mood is much more comfortable, and he has a good conversation with Xiao Pengyu.
Peng Yunshi quietly came in at some point, accompanied by a pretty beautiful maid, and Zhou Zhi hurriedly greeted him. Peng Yunshi said with a smile, "When Xiaoyu sees Xiaozhi, it is equivalent to seeing his brother." It's been three months since Xiao Zhi went to the capital Guozijian, and Xiaoyu often whispered to me in my ear! ”
Zhou Zhi said with a smile, "Xiaoyu is in a good mood now, and his body is strong, he is actually a very sensible little brother." ”
"Well, this kid is not bad, he just doesn't like to read. But it doesn't matter if you don't like to read, in fact, Xiaoyu can grow up healthily, and I am very satisfied! Peng Yun said casually.
Peng Yunshi is a very smart woman, his husband is the prefect of Baoding, but she never interferes in her husband's affairs, so she doesn't ask a word why Zhou Zhi stayed in the mansion and didn't leave. Then he arranged for the maid to prepare a meal, so that Zhou Zhi and Peng Yu could eat at the same table.
Xiao Pengyu's daily schedule was very full, and after dinner, he simply talked to Zhou Zhi for a while, and then went to find a martial arts teacher to practice martial arts.
Zhou Zhi and Qi Yanwu were led to the guest room by the maid.
There was such a big thing on this day, and Uncle Peng Ze went to Ansu County to know if he could handle it properly, let alone what the result was. When Zhou Zhi thinks about it now, he feels depressed.
I was in no mood to read, so I sat at the desk and pondered my future situation.
Zhou Zhi thought that a person's life is not destined to be smooth sailing. What happened in Ansu County was just a small thing.
Since he has done a good job and is not willing to be mediocre, take the road of becoming an official in the imperial examination, and do something for the people, this road is destined to be not smooth. What happened in Ansu County should be regarded as a tempering of life.
Thinking about it like this, Zhou Zhi was very calm in his heart. I simply lay down on the bed and fell asleep soundly.
There was nothing to say all night, and just after breakfast on the second day, Peng Ze led a group of messengers to finally return to the mansion. Without waiting for Peng Ze to summon, Zhou Zhi hurried over. In the front hall of the mansion, Peng Ze was meditating alone with his eyes closed. Zhou Zhi was inconvenient to disturb, so he had to stand aside and wait quietly.
After a stick of incense, Peng Ze seemed to have thought about something thoroughly, so he opened his eyes, and Zhou Zhi hurriedly bowed. Peng Ze said with a calm face, "Xiao Zhi doesn't have to be so polite in front of me in the future." As far as you and my uncle and nephew are concerned, you are my nominal student, so you are out of sight. ”
Hearing Peng Ze say this, Zhou Zhi's heart was completely down-to-earth.
In fact, Zhou Zhi has always been worried about the matter in Ansu County, although the county magistrate Rensheng is unreasonable and misbehaving, but he also wants to use the people to put pressure on him, so as to get himself out.
It's just that Zhao appeared later, took advantage of the people, smashed the county government, and caused trouble. And he happened to know Zhao again, so it seems that he can't escape the matter of Ansu County.
Peng Ze stretched out his hand and pointed to the seat next to him and asked Zhou Zhi to sit down. Ben immediately said, "Xiaozhi, I understand this matter in Ansu County clearly, that Rensheng did something wrong, the people were angry, and smashed the county government, and now Rensheng doesn't know where to go."
I have truthfully reported this matter to the imperial court, and now Ansu County will let Ran Yishui, the general judge of the government office, temporarily act for a few days.
However, this smashed the county government, the matter is very big after all, fortunately, Ansu County is still very calm now, so it may allow the imperial court to dispel the concerns of the people of Ansu about rebellion. The person who took the lead, Zhao, was already empty. In my opinion, this leader Zhao will definitely be wanted by the imperial court.
That's all for now. Uncle is a kind of worried, Rensheng is Li Guang's person, and what he is afraid of is that Li Guang will hold on to it! Besides, in the final analysis, this matter was caused by you, and I am afraid that Li Guang will sprinkle all his resentment on you.
But now my uncle has dealt with it like this, hehe! Uncle and you are grasshoppers on the same rope. ”
