Zhang Sicheng frowned, and instinctively felt that some people were not good, but he thought that he had no connection with Huating, and he was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door if he didn't do bad things, so he said to the officials: "Please come in, this official will meet guests in the living room." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

When he arrived at the meeting room, Zhang Sicheng saw a scholar in a white Confucian robe, and when he saw himself coming, he bowed with a spring breeze: "Huating Xu Zhi Xu Ziming, I have seen Zhang Zhixian." ”

Seeing that he didn't make a big salute, Zhang Sicheng knew that this was a scholar with a meritorious reputation, so he didn't care, and replied: "Zhang Sicheng, the magistrate of Wu County, if this official remembers correctly, this official and Your Excellency should not have any intersection, what do you want to see this official?" Recently, I have been busy with affairs, and I don't have much time for my office. ”

Xu Zhi sneered in his heart, and said: "Zhang Zhixian laughed, maybe we didn't know each other before, but after that, we can know each other, in the next is just a person, at present, in addition to this fame, it is just a white body, but it is a brother, an official in the capital, and he may have something to do with Zhang Zhixian." ”

Zhang Sicheng was even more puzzled in his heart, and asked, "Dare to ask who Brother Ling is?" ”

Xu Zhi said with a smile: "The left waiter of the ministry, Xu Jie." ”

Ministry ...... Zuo Shilang......

Good guy, the officials, here comes the great god, I'm afraid I can't fit this small county government...... Zhang Sicheng was shocked in his heart, took a deep breath, and said: "It turns out that Brother Ling is Xu Shilang, but, as far as I know, I don't have any dealings with Brother Ling Xu Shilang, I don't know what is the important matter for Your Excellency to come here?" ”

Hmph, Fang just took a bite of his own official, and now he immediately became a subordinate, sure enough, the officials are all like this.

Xu Zhi deeply felt the wonderful taste of power, remembering the scene of the family being bullied when he was young, he was even more emotional, sighed, Xu Zhi said: "In fact, it is just a trivial matter, and the relationship is only 30 acres of land, but these 30 acres of land are under the rule of Zhang Zhixian, and in desperation, I have to ask Zhang Zhixian to help." ”

Zhang Sicheng was puzzled, why did he come here with only 30 acres of land, and the family of this senior official in the DPRK and Central China couldn't handle it? Having said that, Zhang Sicheng probably guessed the reason, it was nothing more than the big family embezzling the small people's land, and then the small people resisted desperately, and the big family couldn't blatantly rob it because of its reputation, so he had to ask the government to cooperate, and afterwards, there would be a lot of kickbacks to eat, as for the small people, who cares if he lives or dies? It is said that many local county officials made their fortunes from this business.

But......

"Could it be that Your Excellency bought these thirty acres of land, and as a result, something went wrong?" Zhang Sicheng's words made Xu Zhi very satisfied, which once again proved a truth, in the ancient and modern Chinese and foreign officialdom in the shopping mall, no matter when, the best, or the people in the personnel department, what people say is what they say, if you don't obey discipline, unspoken rules and gray regulations, people will really dare to give you small shoes, and dare to write something on your resume casually, so that you can't eat and walk around.

At this point, the Ming officials are the most touched, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty are also the most difficult, and the minor officials of the six grades dare to reprimand the superintendent and can't raise their heads, and they don't dare to talk back, if you talk back or ignore others, people will write something on your resume, you just wait for the sour!

Therefore, the head of the official department is also called the heavenly official.

Xu Jie's is the left servant, above the right waiter, which is equivalent to the first deputy heavenly official, it is still very easy to deal with a small county, and he doesn't have to do it himself, and he can disgust himself for a long time if he writes something casually, so no one in the affairs of the Ming Dynasty wants to provoke the officials, and the officials are also the head of the six departments.

So Xu Zhi is very satisfied, at least, the Zhang Zhixian in front of him is a person who understands current affairs, and he likes to talk to people who understand, and everyone understands without going around in circles.

"Oh, isn't it? This matter is still their fault, a family is poor, no money to support the child to study for the exam, so they borrowed a hundred taels of silver from the Xu family, with the family's 30 acres of land as a mortgage, for a year, and wait for the child to finish the exam, besides, I think this is a good thing, so I agreed, and promised them, if the child is admitted to the lifter, it will be regarded as me sponsoring the child to study, this money will not be wanted, if the test is not passed, then pay back.

As a result, after the exam, the child didn't admit it, and asked him to pay back the money, but he didn't pay it back, I said okay, if you don't pay back the money, just take the land to calculate, the same, let him take the land as a mortgage, he was still unwilling, and said that I was bullying, and called a helper, and threatened my Xu family, saying that he was going to find a lawsuit from the official, so that his brother couldn't eat and walk around, and said that he would publish the Xu family's bullying and weakness into a collection, so that the entire Nanzhili people would know, you say, there is such a truth in this world? Xu Zhi put on a sad look.

Zhang Sicheng frowned again and asked, "What is the surname of the child who borrowed money?" ”

Xu Zhi opened his mouth and said, "Call Xiang Qing." ”

Zhang Sicheng was stunned for a moment, and then said with a hesitant face: "The fourth in the county test, the fourth in the government test, and the third in the hospital test, do you really want to do this?" In my opinion, it is very likely that he will be admitted to the imperial examination, at least before the release of the list, I can't deal with him, after the release of the list, if he is admitted, he will naturally not lack the money to return to the Xu family, if he can't pass the exam, then there is nothing to say, why don't you wait until after the release of the list before drawing conclusions? ”

Xu Zhi said: "I have learned that Xiaoxiu was assigned to the stinky number, do you think he can still be admitted?" ”

Zhang Sicheng's face froze, with a deep sigh, he couldn't fight against the officials for a little show who couldn't even lift people, to be honest, he didn't have this ability, for the sake of thirty acres of land, it didn't seem to be necessary, although he was a student under his own rule, but, at this time, is it the time to think about this matter? He is only a top three with the Jinshi background, it is not easy to get the position of the county, and it is unlikely that he will rise......

The consequences are unimaginable.

Xu Zhi has determined that Zhang Sicheng will compromise, then, this matter is almost solved, he can't make a move, and the Xu family is inconvenient to come forward directly, so getting rid of the local county officials to do it is the best way, as soon as he thought about it, Xu Zhi said: "By the way, Zhang Zhixian, that Xiang Qing also called a little Xiucai surnamed Zheng to help, that Xiao Xiucai's tone was very impulsive, a little interesting, and said that Xiang's field is not compromised, and now there is such a temperament among young scholars, but it is really rare." ”

Xu Zhi originally wanted Zhang Sicheng to clean up this tough kid together, so as not to have a lot of dreams at night, regardless of whether he could be admitted to the juren, his purpose was just to make that kid suffer a little, don't mess around, and don't interfere with him anything, who knew that Zhang Sicheng, who originally decided to compromise, suddenly stared at Xu Zhi with round eyes and looked at Xu Zhi with a strange expression: "That Xiucai surnamed Zheng, is his name Zheng Guang?" ”

When Xu Zhi saw Zhang Sicheng's face suddenly change, he felt strange, and he was also a little uneasy in his heart, afraid that he had provoked someone who should not be provoked, so he replied tentatively: "Exactly, is it called Zheng Guanglai, or the little Sanyuan of Suzhou Mansion Jinke, it seems that it is very likely to be a lifter." ”

Zhang Sicheng's complexion changed several times, and finally said in a consultative tone: "Brother Ziming, in my opinion, it is better for both sides to take a step back, let the big things become small, and the small things become small, the one hundred taels of silver is a bit exaggerated, and the county government can't afford to pay this money, why don't Ziming let it go again, how about ten taels?" These ten taels of silver, the county government came out, returned to the Xu family, and the Xu family didn't worry about the thirty acres of land, only thirty acres, and they couldn't get into the eyes of Xu Shilang, right? ”

Xu Zhi was stunned for a moment, Zhang Sicheng's sudden change made Xu Zhi very uncomfortable, obviously he had decided to compromise, how could he suddenly change his mind when he heard Zheng Guang's name, and also punctured his own rhetoric, this is not in line with the rules? Could it be that this Zheng Guang has a background and a backstage?

"County Zun, who is this Zheng Guang?" Xu Zhi asked cautiously, his background was not strong enough for him to do whatever he wanted, so he didn't mind being soft when it was time to be soft.

"Tang Jingchuan's student, the only student, it seems, still has contacts with the Mansion Zun, and has a close relationship, if the official makes a move on him, then there is no need to wait for Xu Shilang to make a move, the Mansion Zun can make the official unable to eat and walk around at the moment, not to mention that he is Tang Jingchuan's only beloved apprentice, Tang Jingchuan's fame, in this southeast place, not to mention a hundred responses, it is also known to women and children, one is not good, we are all going to be angry......" Zhang Sicheng meant something.

Xu Zhi was shocked: "Mr. Jingchuan Tang Shunzhi? Zheng Guang is his student? Or is it the only one? ”

Zhang Sicheng nodded and admitted: "That's right, very few people know about this matter, and the reason why the official knows about it is also because the mansion inadvertently told him that he has the idea of letting the official secretly take care of Zheng Guang, so is it worth it with just thirty acres of land?" ”

Xu Zhi's face was not good, he suddenly remembered that in the list of people who must not be provoked, Tang Shunzhi's three big characters were arranged in front of many names, ranking seventh, and in front of them were several vassal kings and famous Confucians, Tang Shunzhi was tied with them, obviously the object that could not be provoked, as his disciple, or the only disciple, Zheng Guang was also the person in the ranks of the people who could not be provoked, but obviously everyone did not know that Zheng Guang was Tang Shunzhi's disciple, so he didn't pay attention, even if he was a little Sanyuan.

Tang Shunzhi, and only thirty acres of land, which is more important, Xu Zhi, who knows the inside story of the Xinxue sect, of course understands that Tang Shunzhi even has a relationship with his brother Xu Jie, who is a friend for three or four years, like-minded, this, this is really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple, oops, now, if this matter reaches Tang Shunzhi's ears, wouldn't that brother ......

No, it needs to be remedied immediately!
