After Xie Shen left from the county office, his mood was not too low.

Wu Xianling's performance today made him see a lot of things clearly, many things that he didn't understand all along.

It's hard to describe the exhilarating experience, but it's probably useful.

From the standpoint of Wu Xianling, his choice was not wrong. Mingzhe's self-preservation is the most correct choice in the officialdom, no matter what, Wu County's order can be regarded as saving some face for Xie Shen. Xie Shen is a pragmatist, since he still has to mix in the territory of Yuyao, he still doesn't want to tear his face with Wu Xianling before he takes the Jinshi exam.

But this matter certainly can't just be left at that. The young man thought for a moment, and realized that there were only a few forces he could draw on.

The Wang family, the Xie family, and then Lu Yuan.

Far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and Lu Yuan has no hope for a business trip in Hangzhou Mansion for the time being. Xie Qian, the backer of the Xie family, is even more distant in Beijing. Then, it seems that the only person he can rely on is the Wang clan of the Mystic Sect.

Although Wang Hua is also an official in Beijing, his younger brother Wang Suke is still in Yuyao.

After Wang Su was rescued by Xie Shen and Wang Shouren and returned to Yuyao, he has been on leave to recuperate in the township. This is equivalent to a kind of cold treatment, and people will forget about it after a long time. Of course, this is the result of a multi-party mediation game, but as long as the top does not pursue it, the people below will turn a blind eye.

Although Wang Su is sick in the township, he is still an official, and some connections are still there. Of course, Xie Shen wasn't sure if Wang Su's connections were still available now, but he still had to ask first.

Giving up the investigation so easily, this is not Xie Shen's style.

As for Shui Yun, Xie Shen is not worried about letting her show up again, and it is safest to let her stay in the mansion during this time.

After sending Shui Yun back home, Xie Shen turned around and went straight to the Wang family's mansion.

The doorman of the Wang family had long been familiar with Xie Shen, and when he saw Gongzi Xie knocking on the door, he immediately welcomed him in with a smiling face.

"Gongzi Xie, the eldest young master and the third young master of my family, and the second master are all in the flower hall, and the little one will take you there."

"Yes."

Although Xie Shen was in a bad mood, he still tried his best to squeeze out a smile.

The two of them walked through the courtyards one after the other and came to the flower hall of the royal mansion.

Menzi saluted Xie Shen with interest, and walked away quickly.

Xie Shen walked up to the uncle and nephew of the Wang family with a bitter face, and arched his hand: "Wang Shibo, Brother Shouren, Brother Shouwen, Xie came uninvited, there is a lot of trouble." ”

Wang Su waved his hand and said, "What did Xiaolang of the Xie family say, you are the old man's life-saving benefactor." If it weren't for you, the old man wouldn't be able to sit here and drink with his good nephew now. Sit down and say. ”

Wang Shouren also said; "Brother Shenxian, sit down first, if you don't come, my brother still wants to send someone to find you."

"Yes, Brother Shenxian, there is a great opportunity in front of you, you must not refuse."

Xie Shenqiang cheered up and said with a wry smile: "What's a good thing?" ”

Wang Su cleared his throat and said, "Shouren, you should tell Xie Xiaolang." ”

Wang Shouren nodded, and said in a harmonious voice: "Brother Shenxian must not know that Lord Xu is coming to Yuyao, right?" ”

Xie Shen was slightly stunned. Lord Xu? Which Lord Xu? There were many officials surnamed Xu in the Ming Dynasty, and there were several in the Hongzhi Dynasty. The most famous is, of course, Xu Pu, the first assistant of the dynasty. But his old man had just been promoted to the first assistant, and it was a busy time, how could he go out of Beijing to Yuyao, thousands of miles away, to inspect.

"Xie is willing to hear about it."

"It's the left waiter of the Ministry of Works, Xu Yuanyi, Lord Xu!"

Bang!

Xie Shen's brain exploded and he almost fell.

Is Xu Yuanyi Xu Guan? The famous water control minister in Hongzhi Zhongxing?

To say that there are countless famous ministers in the Hongzhi Dynasty, but there are not too many who are really characteristic and capable, and people can remember them at once.

Just like Zhen Kewang said, there are too many clear streams above the court, and the most important thing in the Ming Dynasty is the clear stream of direct ministers.

Boss Xu Guan is just a powerful faction that is independent of the world.

In the fifth year of Hongzhi, that is, last year, the Susong River was silted up, causing flooding. The floods affected Songjiang, Suzhou, Changzhou, Zhenjiang and other places, and shocked the government and the public.

You must know that the Ming Dynasty is a highly developed and perfect agricultural society, and Jiangnan is an important area for grain production, and the above four places are the leaders of grain production in all parts of Jiangnan.

The people depend on food, and the flood has caused devastating damage to countless fertile fields.

If there is no food to eat, there will be a famine, and then there will be displaced people, followed by ****......

Today, Zi loves the people like a son, and immediately sent Xu Guan, the left servant of the Ministry of Works, to Susong to control the flood.

This is not a good errand, and the credit for doing a good job is the son of heaven. It's not done well, but the black pot must be carried by yourself.

However, Mr. Xu didn't say a word, and rolled up his sleeves directly to dry, quite a bit of a doer's style.

The Susong River is a tributary of the Taihu Lake basin, and the biggest problem is that there is too much silt.

The key to controlling the Susong flood is dredging.

After Mr. Xu went to the local area to investigate, he found that the problem of silt was not only a natural disaster, but also a man-made disaster.

Many local gentry families built dikes on the Susong River to reclaim fertile land. The river is divided into small pieces by the embankment, and it would be hellish if the river was not blocked.

Xu Guan immediately ordered the removal of these dikes, and although he was also resisted, he showed his identity as a messenger, and the work went smoothly.

However, dredging can only be regarded as the first step in the treatment of the Susong flood, and the next thing to do is to comb and dig a new river.

Of course, these are not a day's work, Xie Shen has the impression that Xu Guan will stay in Susong for a while, and he is afraid that he will not be able to return to Jingshi for a while.

"Didn't Xu Shilang control the flood in Susong, why did he come to Yuyao?"

Xie Shen asked half curiously, half happily.

Xu Guan has a good reputation in history, and he belongs to the type of people who can't rub sand in their eyes, and has a fight with the famous Hai Ruihai pen holder. If he can support him, what are you afraid of Tan Fang, the adopted son of Li Guangli and Eunuch Li?

"Brother Shen Xian wouldn't know that Xu Shilang was from Chun'an Shufu, right?" Wang Shouren paused for a moment, and said in a harmonious voice: "Count Xu Shilang still has some in-laws related to my Wang family." ”

Wang Su coughed and said: "The cheap one is from Chun'an, from the Xu family of Shufu, a local wang family, and is the sister of Xu Shilang. ”

Hearing this, Xie Shen was about to roll his eyes. After going around in a big circle, it turned out that this Wang Su was Xu Guan's cheap brother-in-law.

It is said that the relationship between the family is intertwined, and Xie Shen didn't believe it at first, but now seeing is believing, so he has to accept it.

"Xu Shilang came to Yuyao this time for personal matters." Wang Su looked at Xie Shen with a smile, and the young man was furious by Wang Su's eyes, and hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Please also ask the boss to make it clear." ”
