Chapter 398: The Decisive Node

The Huizhou Mansion is more than twice as large as the county government of Shexian County, and the official houses of Tongzhi and Tongju are much more spacious than the official offices of the county officials and the main book of the annals. After all, even if it is a second official, the general judgment and knowledge of one and two grades higher than the county order must not be too shabby. Even so, the same prefect is only two in the front and back, plus a dozen rooms, if there are many family members, it will be tight, not to mention that the Huizhou Mansion originally only set up one Tongzhi, and now there is one more Gao Tongzhi, this newly added thief Tongzhi has no place to live, and after obtaining the prefect Yao Huizu, he finally borrowed it outside.

Gao Minzheng directly rented a two-entry courtyard facing the back door of the prefect's yamen, which had a similar relationship with Wang Fulin's family and the county ya. He did not hire local servants, and all the people he used from the porter to his relatives were brought out of his hometown, a total of six, because he had no family, he should have lived very wide, but most of the subordinates lived in the outer courtyard, and there was only him and a scholar in the inner courtyard. Even those servants who were waiting in the outer courtyard didn't know that there were three guests in the inner courtyard who were currently being borrowed!

At this time, it was noon, and after Gao Minzheng came back from the mansion, he went straight into the study in the inner courtyard, nodded slightly to the person waiting inside, and said bluntly: "Today I saw the new Huining Daoye observed, not only that, but also saw the Wang Fulin you said. I just showed a little bit of color, and he went to ask about me. Now, they should all know the little news I deliberately revealed. ”

"I thought too highly of myself at the beginning, but I showed my identity in front of an inconsequential little person, and Wang Fulin actually took this as an opportunity. Broke me a good game. "Speaking of which. The man who had been sitting in the shadowy corner stood up. It is Shao Fang, who has one big eye and one small eye. He straightened up and bowed to Gao Minzheng, "Thank you, Lord Gao, for believing in me." ”

"Even Yuan Weng believed that you valued you at the beginning, and I knew everything, how could I dare not trust Shao Daxia?" Gao Minzheng didn't just say this in his mouth, but remembered the rumors from all parties that he had quietly probed since he took office. He had to admit that without Shao Fang's reminder. He was afraid that it would take a long time to realize the influence of such a young man in the Huizhou region.

He raised his hand and invited Shao Fang to sit down, but he didn't continue to talk about Ye Junyao and Wang Fulin first, but lowered his voice and said, "There is something I want to hear Shao Daxia's opinion." I just got the news, the superintendent of the imperial history Cao Dayu impeached Yuan Weng, and the emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, do you think it can affect Zhang Juzheng? ”

Regarding such a news that he heard for the first time, although Shao Fang was surprised that Gao Minzheng was well-informed, he was very cautious: "Today, the emperor and Yuan Weng have a friendship between teachers and students. will never listen to slander, Cao Dayu really killed himself. But Zhang Juzheng also won the sacred heart. What's more, Zhang Juzheng is used to being a small volt, and the previous acceptance of Xu Jie's son of three thousand taels can make Yuan Weng give up the investigation, unless he can catch the exact handle of Cao Dayu this time, otherwise in my humble opinion, I am afraid that Yuan Weng may not move him. ”

Gao Minzheng also thought so in his heart, and seeing that Shao Fang, who should know Gao Gong very well, also said this, he suddenly sighed deeply. Although he is the same year as Ye Junyao, he was only promoted to the Jinshi at the age of forty, and he is already forty-four years old this year. Compared to those who are young and ambitious, he is lagging behind in the beginning. Because of this, relying on the same surname as Gao Gong's fellow villagers, he successfully won Gao Gong's appreciation, this time there was no hope for the promotion of the supervision of the imperial history, so he locked in Huining Dao, just wanted to cross the threshold of ten years of foreign officials, but he didn't expect to be intercepted by a sudden kill at a critical moment.

It is said that Zhang Jiayin pressed Cai Yingyang to protect this person, Zhang Juzheng helped, Gao Gong finally nodded, and he lost hard!

"Yuan Weng is decisive in killing others, but he is too soft on Zhang Juzheng. Now the cabinet is Yin Shi and Zhishi, but Yuan Weng and Zhang Ge Lao are two people, but they hate Yuan Weng originally wrote a book to add people, but Zhang Juzheng colluded with Feng Bao and approved Zhu to criticize that there was no need to add more cabinet ministers, and even instructed someone to impeach Yuan Weng. Yuan Weng single-handedly fought corruption and eliminated incompetence, and Zhang Juzheng instructed Wang Daokun and other cronies to also write a letter to rectify the impeachment, earning a lot of fame. Saying this, Gao Minzheng knew that his level could not be mixed with the dragon and tiger battle between Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, if he could gain the upper hand in Huizhou, which was three points of land, it would undoubtedly be a big victory.

"Since the grass and snake have been done, the next step is to wait for them to take precautions to show their flaws, and then they can attack in one fell swoop." Shao Fang smiled unhurriedly, and then gently tapped the armrest with his fingers, with a sneer on his face. Liao Feng used to be the leader of the Five Peaks Thieves, and naturally there were many lines on the road, but now that the minions have been arrested, this guy is wandering around alone and wants to find out about him, how is this possible! On the contrary, his eyeliner was alarmed because of this, and he followed Gao Minzheng to Huizhou. Although the previous design can be said to be futile, and even made Ye a blessing in disguise, it must be known that the higher you rise, the worse you fall!

"Ye Junyao is now acting as the county magistrate of Huining Dao for the time being, and he will not hand it over until the new county magistrate takes office, and this prison matter is originally his authority. In the next few days, he is likely to transfer the people of the Five Peaks Thieves, or he will simply kill people. When my people take that Liao Feng, and Lord Gao comes forward again, then the human and material evidence will be complete, and some people will not be able to turn over in this life! ”

At the same time, Ye Junyao directly ordered the sedan chair to be carried to the door of the county magistrate's office in the back street of the county, and when Wang Fulin got off the sedan chair first, but he still held his forehead to stabilize the center of gravity, he said in a low voice: "Fu Lin, then this matter will be handed over to you!" ”

"Well, don't worry." Wang Fulin promised in his mouth, but he knew in his heart that this was the biggest test he had faced so far. Gao Minzheng's enemy jumped out suddenly, there is a mental calculation or no intention, there is a backstage background, an official position is an official position, the only advantage he occupies is that he is a native of Huizhou, and the mass foundation is good, but the problem is that even in She County, he also has an enemy, Wang Shangning is just hopeless, and his brothers and grandchildren are all unsuccessful, but he single-handedly cut off the reputation of the Zhuchuan Wang family, what if people collude together? And if he loses now, even if Zhang Juzheng succeeds in arching out of Beijing in the future, Ye Junyao and he don't want to turn over.

Zhang Juzheng is a person, because of a little difference in political opinions, because of the affection, the subordinates of his former cronies can also be hit to the end, not to mention that Wang Daokun is just the same year?

"Gotta cut through the mess quickly......"

Wang Fulin muttered silently, and then entered his house. Since the old house of Songming Mountain was built, Wang Daoyun and the Wu couple prefer the quiet life of the mountain dwelling, and often live there, while Wang Erniang and Wang Xiaomei live here for half a month and there for half a month. However, when he entered the Ming Hall, he found a familiar figure sitting boredly there, holding a teacup in his hand in a daze.

"Why are you here?"

"Why can't I come?" Xiaobei stood up with a glare, and the boss said unhappily, "I've been waiting for you for a long time!" ”

Wang Fulin found out that Bizhu, the loyal maid who had "bravely killed Boss Ge" before, had now been given to Xiaobei by Mrs. Su, and was standing beside him with no sense of existence at this time, and he couldn't help but be secretly angry When he entered the house, the porter was silent. If you want to say that the marriage book is established, Xiaobei dares to come, he is not embarrassed, he sat down and asked, "What is the matter that your second lady has been waiting for me for so long?" ”

"Uncle Lu has a letter." Xiaobei took out a letter from his sleeve and was about to hand it to Wang Fulin, when he suddenly realized something, and immediately shrank it back, "I can warn you, don't take advantage of me!" ”

"Okay, okay, it's a big deal, I'll call Uncle Lu with you in the future, not Senior Brother Lu, it's always okay, right?" Although Wang Fulin is now anxious, he attaches great importance to the letter that Lu Guangwu specially brought to him, and hurriedly snatched it and tore open the seal. When he took the letterhead in his hand, he only looked at it for the first time and then stood up.

"What, what did Uncle Lu say?" When Xiaobei saw Wang Fulin like this, his curiosity suddenly rose, and he hurriedly got up and came over. can see that the above is just a plain account of some strange people and strange people that Lu Guangwu visited in various places after setting off from Xinchang, and she can't help but be a little inexplicable. found that Wang Fulin frowned, her eyes seemed to be staring at the content tightly, she had to read it a second and third times, and finally noticed that there was an inconspicuous sentence in the dense small block letters.

"Encounter a group of thieves on the road and save one of them?" Ye Junyao and Wang Fulin took the risk of letting Liao Feng go in order to find out who was behind the scenes, of course Xiaobei didn't know about this, but when she saw that Lu Guangwu saved a person, and even found out from the capture that there was a noble person offering a reward for the arrest of this person, she felt that something was wrong. Although she is not as shrewd as Ye Mingyue, she is also a smart and clear person, and immediately poked that one with her finger and asked in a low voice, "Does this matter have anything to do with you and your father?" ”

"Maybe." Wang Fulin took a breath lightly, and simply threw the first letterhead directly to the curious baby next to him, and then looked at the second one, and saw that Lu Guangwu said in the letter that after he saved people, because he was seriously injured, he was now going to Jingting Mountain to visit a stranger, so he immediately hurried inside. Seeing this, Xiaobei simply called Bizhu to follow, but saw that after Wang Fulin entered the east room of the hall, he began to rummage through the bookshelves, and finally found a map spread out on the desk, but it was a map of Nan Zhili.

"I remember, sure enough, this Jingting Mountain is in the territory of Ningguo Mansion." Wang Fulin glanced at Xiaobei, pondered for a moment and then said, "I'm afraid I'm going to go to Jingting Mountain, you go back and say to your father." ”

"You're going to find Uncle Lu?" Xiaobei's eyes widened, and then he said without thinking, "Although my father has been promoted, he seems to be a little worried these days, what should you do with him when you leave?" If you don't need to go out to find Uncle Lu, I can go, just tell me anything! Seeing Wang Fulin's face full of consternation, she was suddenly unhappy, "What, can't you believe me?" It's a big deal, I'll bring Yan's mother! ”

Wang Fulin smiled unconsciously: "How can I not believe you, I just thought, this is really God sending me a helper." Let's go, let's go meet your father and your mother! (To be continued......)
