Chapter 693: Drunken Talk
After Li Yan took out the prostitute method, at this moment, Zhang Taixuan and Kong Daozhen were already seven or eight points drunk, hearing Li Yan's words, Zhang Taixuan couldn't help but be proud, lowered his voice slightly, and said with a big tongue: "That, Li, Li Niangzi, it's not me to brag with you, brag, my father coughed, coughed, and the entire Dongting County had to tremble...... Knowing that Hu Guangbu's political envoy Geng, his father was the main examiner back then. There is also Lord Xu, who is the grandson of Xu Ge, and he is also the same year as his father. Let Brother Zhang drink with me, and he won't be happy to have a glass of wine......"
Kong Daozhen's face was like a red cloth, and he took over the conversation next to him: "It's really not bragging, in the whole Jiangnan, as long as you mention Zhang Shao, no one dares not to give face, right?" ”
Zhang Taixuan smiled smugly: "That's it, Li, Li Niangzi, you don't have to be afraid of anyone in Jiangnan in the future, if someone bullies you, you will mention my name, Zhang, Zhang Taixuan......"
Li Yan sneered, quite embarrassed, and Zhang Taixuan and Kong Daozhen, who were watching it, were stunned at the same time.
"I didn't expect Zhang Gongzi to be so powerful, but I heard that there are four young men in Jinling, Xu Weizhi, the son of Wei Guogong, Xu Delu, the son of Xu Dengying, Wang Xianjian, the eldest son of Xinjian Bo, and Xu Shaoqiang, the son of Xu Sanye, who is at the helm of the Xu family...... Zhang Shao should be quite familiar with them, right? ”
Zhang Taixuan was stunned for a moment, bullied Zhang You's business background, and said unashamedly: "That is, I know them well, and I often eat and drink together...... I didn't expect Mrs. Li to be quite knowledgeable. ”
Zhang You smiled secretly, but he was just the son of a county master, and the four of them were too lazy to pee, so they really responded to that sentence, he was from Jiangnan if he didn't drink, and Jiangnan was his if he drank too much.
"Dongting County is adjacent to Dongting Lake, and I heard that there are floods every year, and it is not easy to be a county." Zhang You said casually.
"Brother, you don't understand this, do you? Whether there is a flood or not, isn't it just a matter of my father's words. ”
Zhang Shunsheng can decide whether there is a flood or not in one sentence?
Zhang You was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, and when he was on the line, he frowned, and his anger suddenly jumped. Okay, whether there is a flood or not, no wonder the embankment is repaired every year, and the trouble for a long time is not a natural disaster at all, but a man-made disaster.
Originally, he also thought that Zhang Shunsheng would at most intercept some silver taels when repairing the embankment, but in his mind, it was enough to do so, but now listening to Zhang Taixuan's meaning, he co-authored that even if the peaceful years also reported floods, then not only did he intercept the silver for repairing the embankment, but also the silver allocated by the imperial court to relieve the famine.
These people are bold, aren't they? To say that moths are light, it is simply a national thief!
Zhang You understands that a small county can't do such a big thing at all, and so much silver must weave a huge net of corruption, from the clerks, to the political envoys of Hu Guangbu, and even Xu Jie, all of them must have benefited from it.
If this matter is not pierced, it will be done, and once it is pierced, it will inevitably cause a strong earthquake in Jiangnan officialdom.
Just when Zhang You was distracted, a young man in Tsing Yi walked into the door and muttered a few words in Zhang Taixuan's ear, Zhang Taixuan stood up with a sigh: "I'm sorry, there is a guest at home, it is Xu Gelao's nephew Xu Shaoyong, Songjiang prefect Xu Bin has heard of it, it is his father, in addition, there is another one, it is the eldest son of the new uncle you mentioned just now, Wang Xianjian, I have to go first, you stay a few more days, I will visit another day...... Brother Kong, you have to accompany them! ”
Xu is people are in good spirits on happy occasions, he is a little sober, his tongue is also flexible, after the show, although he is reluctant, he still arches his hand at Li Yan, turns around and goes out.
"Don't look at Master Zhang as just a six-pin magistrate with a wide range of connections, if it weren't for the former Changde prefect, a student who had offended Zhang Jiangling, he would have mentioned it a long time ago. Now that Zhang Puzhou is in charge of the cabinet, Xu Ge is close to him, look at it, it won't take a few years to get up. Waiting for Zhang Taixuan to leave, Kong Daozhen said with envy.
"Little brother, look at Brother Kong and Brother Zhang, they are walking very close, the day of Master Zhang's promotion, isn't it the time for Ling Zun to be promoted!"
"The family is strict, the food is ancient, the old stubborn one, and Shi Kai has a temper, the people of Lord Wu are the same level as him, and he has long lived in a five-deep mansion, and then look at our family, if it weren't for my hard support over the years, just relying on the family strictness, I wouldn't even be able to open the pot."
Maybe it's really too much, Kong Daozhen said with a wry smile, and after that, he picked up the wine glass and toasted it, showing a hint of bitterness on his face.
Zhang You actually wanted to ask him what he did, but as soon as he wanted to inquire from Shi Kai, he directly asked the topic he was most concerned about: "Which Lord Wu?" Master of the book? The younger brother heard that this Lord Wu was killed a few days ago......"
"Didn't you just arrive in Dongting? Listen to whom? Kong Daozhen became a little vigilant.
"I also overheard the inn junior talking about it, and I heard that guy said that he was at the scene on the day of the incident, and a group of strangers and a group of masked people fought, and several strangers died on the spot, and Lord Wu was also taken away, and his body was found by the lake a few days later, according to this, those people must have made money."
"What kind of outsiders, let me tell you the truth, all of them are from Beizhen Fusi." Kong Daozhen relieved his doubts and said with some disdain.
"Jinyi Weibei Town Fusi? What are they here for? "Zhang You's work in acting is very good, and he expresses the surprise just right.
It may be that he drank a little too much, Kong Daozhen didn't doubt it at all, and said prominently: "It's not that I'm here to check Lord Zhang, I heard that I was ordered by Zhang Zicheng." Know Zhang Zicheng, right? is the miracle doctor who relied on the appreciation of the long-lived lord and the unclear with the harem, and became the governor of Jinyi and Wei at a young age, which is said to be great, but unfortunately, it is far worse than Xu Ge Lao. Let me tell you the truth, this Dongting County is the back garden of Xu Ge Lao, if you want to move Master Zhang, you have to ask Xu Ge Lao if he agrees. I wanted to take the opportunity to expose it, but I stopped me......"
"Why?"
"Why? Are you stupid, do you really think that Lord Wu was killed by someone for money? He is not enough to swallow elephants, unwilling to live under people, seeing that Zhang Zicheng is in the limelight, he wants to change the court, now it's okay, send it directly to Dongting Lake to feed the fish. If I learn from him, I'm afraid the ending will not be much worse at this moment. ”
Zhang You slowly got the bottom in his heart, it seems that what he expected is good, if he wants to make a breakthrough in this case, not only must he visit upwards, but there must also be people who are dissatisfied with Zhang Shunsheng in the local area, and he prefers to be coincidental, it is Shi Kai's father-in-law.
But what exactly does he hold in his hands? If it only involves the affairs of Dongting County, I'm afraid it's not enough, if you can't catch it all, then Zhang Shunsheng is just a shield for the dead ghost. Just like Zhang Juzheng said, if you don't move, you have to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and you can't leave any troubles.
