Zhang Shunsheng is a thin old man, an old face is like a dry orange peel, wearing a black veil, wearing a seven-grade green robe, walking tremblingly, after seeing Zhang You, I don't know whether to be excited or panicked, first coughed violently for a while, then fell to the ground on both knees, and bowed to worship: "Humble Zhang Shunsheng, see the Metropolitan Governor, I don't know that the Metropolitan Governor came to Han County, and there is a loss of welcome, and I ask the Metropolitan Governor to forgive the sin." ”

Zhang You is now an official who worships the governor of the same place, and some people have already called him the governor, and Zhang Shunsheng added a "big" word in front of it to show respect, which is not strange to the officialdom beings with eyes on the top of their heads.

"Those who don't know are not guilty, look at you are also old, get up, borrow your auspicious words, and strive to one day to supervise the officials and know the two words behind them." Zhang You was wearing a bright red python robe, leaning on the chair, although his tone was kind, he didn't move his fart.

Knowing that Zhang You is young, but after seeing it at first glance, Zhang Shunsheng was still very surprised, and a sour feeling surged in his heart, it is really more damn than people and goods should be thrown away, look at people, just put on a scarlet robe and sit on a python in his early twenties, and then look at himself, the soil is about to be buried in the neck, and he feels sorry for himself in the mirror on weekdays, this green robe is also pleasing to the eye, and now it is really cold.

People are old and fine, no matter what he thinks in his heart, on the surface, he is absolutely impossible to show it, trembling up, bowing slightly and standing aside with his hands tied, and laughing: "My lord is the most trusted person of His Majesty today, and it is not a matter of time before the word 'Tongzhi' is removed." After a pause, he said: "My lord has a noble status, and he has come to Hanxian County thousands of miles away, and there must be important official affairs, if there is anything that needs to be dismissed, even if he orders the official, it is ......."

"There's nothing to order, I called you over, mainly to ask about the murder of the county master, do you have any clues?"

Zhang Shunsheng was very calm and said: "I didn't expect this matter to alarm the adults, Lord Wu knows about it, and he can also look at it......"

"For this matter, the official lost five of his subordinates, and Lord Zhang, as a parent of a county, has to give the official an explanation, right?"

"Five men? It turned out that the people who died were all your subordinates, my lord, and the lower officials only heard that there was a bloody fight on the street, and there were dead people, but when they arrived with people, they were a step too late, and there were no clues from both sides for more than 20 days...... The rescue of the lower officials is not effective, and the adults are invited to punish the crime! Zhang Shunsheng fell to his knees with a puff, looking sincerely frightened, pretending to be real.

Zhang You secretly sneered, but remained silent on the surface: "Get up, and complain that they didn't contact your county in advance...... They came to Dongting, mainly to investigate the silver used to repair the embankment over the years, you are the magistrate of Dongting, and if you don't contact you, you will avoid suspicion. ”

"I see," Zhang Shunsheng suddenly realized, and then became a little excited: "I don't know if the villain chews the root of his tongue behind his back, and every silver used to repair the embankment has an account that can be checked, and the lower officials have a clear conscience, and ask the adults to see ......."

"Don't be so excited, right and wrong have their own judgment, this official will not let go of a bad person, nor will he wronged a good person...... The amount of silver used to repair the embankment is huge, you are on the cusp of the storm, naturally it is inevitable that the villain will be blushing, if there is really no evidence in the future, the official will definitely play the court, and you will be white. Now, let's talk about the master book first, according to the report of the officer's subordinates, the reason why there was a bloody battle that day was for a ledger he provided, but unfortunately before he could read the contents of it, he was attacked by the enemy. This matter is very important, and if there are any clues, you must not hide them from your own officials. ”

"Thank you, my lord, forgive the lower officials," Zhang Shunsheng said gratefully, and then changed the conversation: "The adults will not mention this matter, and the lower officials will also ask the metropolitan governor for advice, I have long heard that the metropolitan governor has judged the case like a god, and the lower officials are incompetent, since the incident, although they have also visited day and night, they have not been able to find clues to the murderer, resulting in Lord Wu still being in the morgue and unable to bury ......."

Zhang You admired Zhang Shunsheng's acting skills very much, but unfortunately, this incident happened in Dongting County, if he said that he knew nothing, he would not believe it when he killed Zhang You.

The old guy is tough.

Secretly making a final statement, Zhang You interrupted Zhang Shunsheng and said, "Lord Zhang doesn't need to blame himself, and the subordinates of this palace have not found any clues. It's just that, after all, Lord Wu is an official of the imperial court, and it involves the account book, so we have to find a way to find out about this matter, otherwise, we are afraid that there will be no way to explain it to the imperial court. ”

"The lower officials understand, the lower officials understand, the metropolitan governor can rest assured, the lower officials will do their best to ...... this matter"

"Hmm," Zhang You was too lazy to watch the other party's performance, and waved his hand: "Then let's do it first, the official is traveling all the way, it's really boring, if there is any situation, just report it to the official as soon as possible." ”

Send Zhang Shunsheng away, the time is not early, Zhang You and Li Yan go back to the room to rest, and the clouds * rain will not be elaborated, after the incident, Li Yan is extremely tired, and after talking for a while, he fell asleep, but he tossed and turned, without any sleepiness, simply put on his clothes and got out of bed, and went out of the room.

Jiangnan is different from the north, when it enters March, the grass grows and the warbler flies, and the warm air is hidden in the fragrance of flowers and plants.

"The flowers are full of willows and dark nine doors deep, and the tears are full of sad songs. The warbler flowers are all falling for a few days, and a spring is sad to a heart. ”

As soon as Zhang You walked out of the small courtyard, he heard the voice of a man on the partition wall, accompanied by a long sigh, he couldn't help but be curious, hesitated for a moment, and raised his voice a little and said, "Who borrowed poetry to grieve?" Isn't it also the first person in the spring of today? ”

This poem is the first sad work of the Tang Dynasty poet Qian Qiluo, and Zhang You happened to know that this is the reason for this question.

After a moment of silence in the wall, a figure walked out of the courtyard door, and by the light of the lanterns hanging outside, he saw that the other party was wearing a robe, thirty years old, wearing a Dongpo scarf, which was the dress of a scholar.

"Is Childe also the person who fell in the spring this time?"

Hearing the other party's question, Zhang You immediately affirmed his guess, hesitated slightly, nodded, and said with a fake sigh: "Exactly, dare to ask Brother Taigao's surname?" The capital has been in the capital for many days, and the face is tight. ”

He had already taken off his python robe, and now he was only wearing a stone blue robe, not even wearing a crown, and his hair was scattered, but he was not afraid that the other party would see through his identity.

"Don't dare to be, open in the lower stone, and the words are smooth. Is Brother Tai also from Dongting? How do you look at the tightness of the face? ”

"The younger brother Zhang Shun, the word Shunzhi, is a person from the capital, after the list that night, he was depressed, and he heard that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River was beautiful, so he discussed with his family and came out to relax." Zhang You said that there was no need to make a draft for nonsense, so he asked curiously: "I heard that Brother Shi should mean a local, now that he has returned to his hometown, why don't he go home?" ”

"Don't hide it from Brother Zhang, this time I entered Beijing, I was holding the heart of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, for this reason, Humble Jing even borrowed fifty taels of silver from her mother's family, and now the name is Sun Shan, and the silver is almost spent.

Zhang Youzheng was worried that he was not familiar with the place, and when he heard this, his heart moved, and he smiled: "In this case, it just so happens that the younger brother lacks a guide when he first arrives in your place, how about a few days that the younger brother will accompany the younger brother?" If the younger brother stays longer, you can go home and explain to your sister-in-law. ”
