Caught off guard, Zhang Hua discovered the seriousness of the matter at this moment. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the conversation deepened, Zhang Hua slowly recalled the situation in the Zilan Hall that night.

Indeed, Zhang Hua, who was on the rise, didn't know who he was instigated by, he rushed into the civil official group in the rear as if he was stunned.

In my memory, the person who was beaten with two fists by himself and had his beard removed by himself slowly overlapped with Liu Fengming in front of him at this moment and became one person.

Now. Zhang Hua, who had already recalled everything, looked at Liu Fengming, who was angry with him, smiled embarrassedly, and then hurriedly apologized and said: "Taifu, the impulse of Xiaguan that day made Taifu suffer an unjustified disaster, and Xiaguan is really a great crime!" ”

Indeed, beating an elderly man is a very conscience-reproachful thing.

Not to mention that this person is still a clean official who has not been in the same stream, so sinful, the feeling is so heavy at the moment.

Zhang Hua hurriedly apologized, Liu Fengming looked at Zhang Hua like this, and he didn't know what to say.

Although he knew that Zhang Hua was an unintentional move that night, but because he lost half of his beard, he didn't have the face to go to the court today, and this kind of ridiculous thing made Liu Fengming, who has always been wise, a little embarrassed.

"The old man knows that young people act impulsively, but you can't always tear off the old man's beard."

Liu Fengming said stupidly, while pointing his finger at his beard, and continued with a look of grievance: "Look what this has become!" ”

At this moment, he looked at the half of Liu Fengming's jaw, the white beard without edges. Zhang Hua grinned and didn't say anything for a long time.

"That's it, this matter has happened, and it doesn't make any sense to continue to investigate it deeply, but the old man wants to remind you that you must think more before acting, and don't let innocent people be implicated.

If this incident can make you mature, then the old man's beard has not suffered that sin in vain. ”

Liu Fengming said helplessly, and at this time, Zhang Hua also felt how broad his mind was.

If this kind of thing happened to him, it would be absolutely impossible not to make him turn the page on his back personally, but Liu Fengming gently turned the page with a word of persuasion, and it can be seen from the side that this person's open-mindedness and reasonableness have reached the point where people need to admire.

"The lower officials will definitely keep Taifu's teachings in mind, and from now on, they will definitely act more steadily, and they will not forget what Taifu said today." Zhang Hua said.

"Hmm" After Liu Fengming heard this, and saw the sincere expression on Zhang Hua's face, he nodded with a facial expression.

After thinking about it for a while, he continued: "Actually, this is not only the matter of coming today, but at the same time, the old man has something to tell you. ”

"Mrs. Fu, please speak."

"The old man knows very well what His Majesty intends to reinstate the Supervision Yuan, and at the same time, he also knows how heavy the burden on your Supervision Yuan is.

But there are two sides to everything, black and white.

It is true that most of today's civil officials are the minions of the powerful lords, but there are also many loyal martyrs.

The old man has no right to interfere in the actions of the Supervision Yuan, but the old man wants you to remember that those of us who have hope in the Supervision Yuan must not chill our hearts.

A little more patience, a little more steady, but now it is really a black fog, but there are still many people among them, using their thin bodies to guard the only remaining light.

And how to bring light back to the world depends on your Inspectorate. ”

……

……

After walking out of the Taifu Mansion, Zhang Hua can be described as a mixed taste, and everyone has a different approach to the ideals and ambitions in their hearts.

The Supervision Yuan used its own sharp weapons, and Xiang Liu Fengming and the living person in his mouth were also secretly forbearing, choosing to be obscure, and standing up again at the most suitable time.

The methods are different, but the purpose is the same, and for the reason why Liu Fengming suddenly wants to see him, Zhang Hua now understands that the blame is false, indicating that the heart is true.

After driving back to the Supervision Yuan, Zhang Hua also told Mowen about the incident, and after Mowen heard about it, he sighed with embarrassment on his face.

After a moment of silence, he said with emotion: "Liu Fengming is a person who has a heart for the court, but he can't act easily because of the position of Taifu, so he is also powerful and has no place to use."

While summoning you to meet this time, I also want us to supervise the Yuan and help protect the last remaining loyal martyrs, so that they will not be poisoned by the powerful again.

If they have any difficulties in the future, if the Supervision Yuan can free up their hands, you can send more people to help. ”

"Yes, Dean."

Zhang Hua said, after Mo Wen heard about it, he also said another thing: "Your Majesty summoned you and Tang Peng to the imperial study before, and told the two of you about Jiangnan?" ”

"Well, Your Majesty is now interested in making a move against Jiangnan, and now we have to find a countermeasure immediately."

"It's hard to do it, the south of the Yangtze River is a rare rich place in Nanqing, and many people want to get involved in it and get a piece of the pie, but they are all in vain.

Even then, the house was inexplicably burglarized, and the stables and horses were killed, and the warning was obvious.

The Wang family will never let anyone else get involved in Jiangnan, and even His Majesty has no choice. ”

Mo Wen muttered, but then after seeing that Zhang Thrush's head was unlocked, he still didn't understand a little, he continued: "If there is anything you don't understand, just say it." ”

"Yes, Dean." After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Hua said: "It is a well-known thing that Jiangnan is rich, and Yantian is the most important thing.

Every year, the government will re-bid for Yantian, but there are thousands of businessmen in Nanqing, and there are many wealthy people, so how does the Wang family ensure that the people who win the bid every year are their own people? ”

"You only know the surface now, but the reality is not." Mo Wen said slowly, and then after seeing the appearance of listening attentively, he continued: "It is a matter for the Jiangnan government to bid for Yantian every year, but there is no one in Nanqing who does not know that the Wang family is standing behind Jiangnan.

The Wang family is powerful, no one dares to offend, and the bidding is just a formality.

No matter who wins the bid in the end, but in order to continue to win the bid in the coming year and make a profit, so secretly, they will also give the Wang family a lot of bribes.

And once the bribery is carried out, then on a certain level, they belong to the side of the Wang family.

Although the businessmen are very profitable, their vision is also very vicious, and the Wang family has not fallen, and it has become more and more powerful, becoming an unshakable behemoth, which will make them more insistent on their choice.

One is so, and the others are also following suit, and in the past few years, the people who participated in the bidding have all been vassals of the Wang family, and it doesn't matter who wins the bid.

Because no matter what, the amount of silver that falls into the royal treasury every year will not decrease. ”

"But with such a large amount of silver in the warehouse every year, won't people find out?" Zhang Hua asked in surprise.

After Mo Wen heard this, he also showed an expression of admiration on his face: "This is where the Wang family is powerful, of course the money in Jiangnan can't be accepted blatantly."

Dams and river embankments were repaired, locust plagues were removed, and at the same time, charitable halls were set up in various places, and money was secretly transferred to various places for the sake of serving the people.

If the name is not right, it is like insisting on sending someone to investigate, which will also cause public resentment, and under many considerations, His Majesty can only let it go. ”

Zhang Hua was shocked, he didn't expect Wang Ren's methods to be so clever, he stood on the highest point of morality from the beginning, and what he did was his own life talisman.

Zhang Hua can guess at this moment that those who have accepted the favor of the Wang family may have been brainwashed, after all, it was the Wang family who saved their lives, and it was very likely that they would die for the Wang family.

Later, after thinking that the Wang family's move had the intention of collecting the hearts of all the people in the world for Yang Yanfan, Zhang Hua understood why Yang Yanfan was so anxious to take action against the Wang family.

"The Jiangnan matter is of great importance to His Majesty, but the difficulty of it should not be underestimated, how to solve it, the old man has not had any countermeasures so far." Mo Wen said helplessly,

Eat the king's Lu and worry about the king, but this bone is too difficult to gnaw.

"What can you do, just say it." Mo Wen looked at Zhang Hua and asked with a hint of anticipation.

"Not for the time being, but I think that if you want to completely make the Wang family lose control of Jiangnan, you still need to start with the group of merchants in Jiangnan."

"How do I get started?" Mo Wen said urgently.

"Because the Wang family is powerful, businessmen dare not offend the reason, so they have to secretly pay bribes every year, but I guess they are definitely not willing to do this.

It's like we can find a businessman, turn him into our man, support him to win the bid next year, and then shake everything out, then..."

"It's not a good idea." Without waiting for Zhang Hua to finish speaking, Mo Wen said directly.

"Dean, why not?" Zhang Hua asked curiously, Mo Wen Zhengse looked at him and said: "You don't know, although Jiangnan is the land of Nanqing, but there, the effect of His Majesty's will is not even as great as the effect of the Wang family's words." ”

"Secretly supporting, although the plan is good, but there is no suitable person at all, and no one dares to do anything unfavorable to the Wang family in Jiangnan

。 Officials collude, Jiangnan has long been the private territory of the Wang family, and when outsiders arrive, it will attract attention, not to mention our Supervision Yuan.

Just now, if you want a businessman to bet on his net worth to turn against the Wang family, do you think that kind of person really exists? ”

After Zhang Hua heard this, he immediately understood why Mowen said that it was not advisable.

Indeed, let a profit-heavy businessman give up everything to gamble, they don't have that consciousness yet.

"Put aside the matter of Jiangnan for the time being, although Your Majesty attaches great importance to this matter, it will not make much progress in a short period of time, Your Majesty also understands this, and must understand.

Now, with all his energy on Fang Jian, the matter of armor breaking is spread outside, and this matter is equally important. ”

"Yes, Dean."

Mo Wen looked at Zhang Hua, and smiled at this moment: "Go back and rest first, stay in Dali Temple for two days, even if there is a group of old bastards sitting in the formation, but it is not a good place after all."

I'll leave it for now, and when you're adjusted, let's get to work. ”

"Hmm."

After that, Zhang Hua also said goodbye to Mowen and left the Supervision Yuan, and after being escorted back to his place by Qin Kang and others, at the door, Zhang Hua thought about it and said to Qin Kang: "After returning to the Supervision Yuan, let Ji Shisan, and the brothers in one place do their best to investigate Fang Jian."

What you do on weekdays, what you eat, even if there are a few friends in the Qinglou, you have to investigate it clearly. ”

"My subordinates understand." Qin Kang arched his hand and said.

Zhang Hua thought for a while, hesitated for a moment and said: "Also, let Ji 13 send people to inquire a little more about the news of Jiangnan, especially the businessmen who participated in the bidding of Yantian, their news must be detailed." ”

Qin Kang nodded solemnly at Zhang Hua, and after Zhang Hua patted him on the shoulder, he also turned around and walked in.

……

……

At this moment, he returned to his small courtyard, which made Zhang Hua feel a sense of relaxation all over his body, and looking at the familiar layout inside, Zhang Hua also felt relaxed.

Although he only borrowed Mowen's house, he has always lived here, which also makes Zhang Hua feel a little at home.

After Luliu and Zhang Yi saw Zhang Hua come back, the two of them were also busy, and it was almost lunch at the moment, and Zhang Hua stayed in Dali Temple for two days, so Luliu pulled Zhang Yi and prepared to make a good meal to treat Zhang Hua.

At this moment, Zhang Hua, who was sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard and basking in the sun leisurely, saw Lao Ling's figure appear from outside the door, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Steward Ling has gone there, why is he busier than me every day?" ”

"Hehe" Lao Ling showed his honest smile, came to Zhang Hua's side and said: "Isn't this coming to Kyoto, the old Han people walked around, young master, don't say it, Kyoto is really a little better than Shicheng." ”

Zhang Hua smiled, looked at him helplessly and said: "That's natural, Kyoto is the capital of Nanqing, and the stone city where we used to live can't be compared." ”

"That's what the young master said."

Lao Ling responded, and then after seeing Zhang Hua with his eyes closed and looking very tired, he asked with concern, "Has the young master been troubled recently?" ”

"It's not recently, it's that it's never been peaceful." Zhang Hua said with his eyes closed.

Then he opened his eyes and saw the familiar face that had been with him for more than ten years, he continued: "There was originally a headache, but now there is one more, and one is more difficult than the other, I really don't know what to do now." ”

"Young master, the old Han people don't know much, if the young master doesn't dislike me for being stupid, it's better to tell me." Lao Ling said with a smile.

Zhang Hua glanced at it, and was just ready to complain in front of his relatives, but there were too many things involved in the Supervision Yuan, so it was difficult for him to speak.

But Zhang Hua was also a little embarrassed to refuse bluntly at the moment, so he changed the topic and said, "Has Steward Ling been to Jiangnan before?" ”

"Jiangnan?" Lao Ling read it in his mouth, and then his face became much more serious: "I went there when I was young, the scenery is pleasant, the summer is not hot, and the men are handsome, the women are pretty, in short, it is a good place." ”

Zhang Hua was made happy by Lao Ling's opening, and nodded again and again: "Yes, Jiangnan is a good place, if I have the opportunity, I also want to go and see it in person." Zhang Hua said distractedly.

After Lao Ling saw Zhang Hua like this, he immediately didn't know what to think, and after thinking of something, he was also afraid and said: "Although Jiangnan is a good place, I heard that people have died.

After the man died, it rained incessantly, and people said that he had come to ask for his life as a demon. ”

"Demons asking for their lives? Do you believe this? Zhang Hua laughed mockingly, and then continued to ask casually: "How did that person die?" ”

"I don't know, it seems that I was murdered because I offended some big person.

After the man died, there was only one son left in the family, and his son was not angry, and every day he plagued his father's property, drunk and dreamed of death, and did not look like a human being. ”

"Big shots?" Zhang Hua became a little interested, and after thinking about it, he said: "His son is also pitiful, he wants to avenge his father, but he must have been repeatedly frustrated, and this will degenerate himself." ”

"Who's to say it isn't."

"By the way, what did Steward Ling do when he died?" Zhang Hua asked.

After Lao Ling heard this, he thought about it seriously and said uncertainly: "I can't remember clearly, but I heard that it seems to be a businessman." ”

"Merchant? Merchant! ”

Suddenly, a burst of light appeared in Zhang Hua's eyes, and after Lao Ling saw his young master's expression, his face also became complicated
