Chapter 556: Asking for help

Zhizhou Zhao Mengqing frowned, and said in his heart, how should this be. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Could it be that this Gu Qincha was really sent by God to deal with him?

"Proprietor, why don't you go and discuss with Lord Futai?"

Linqing was originally a county, but it was promoted to a state in the second year of Hongzhi, and the two counties of Lingqiu County and Guantao were under the jurisdiction of Dongchang Prefecture.

The mansion in Wu Lian's mouth is naturally Sun Yan, the prefect of Dongchang.

The reason why Zhao Mengqing was able to sit back and relax in Linqing had a lot to do with this Sun Governor's Mansion.

Sun Yan and Zhao Mengqing are in-laws, and Zhao Mengqing's youngest daughter is married to Sun Yan's eldest son. The two families are naturally very close.

But Zhao Mengqing didn't want to hug Sun Yan's thigh at this time. The reason is very simple, it's too shameless.

Linqing is governed by Zhao Mengqing, Sun Yan is Shangguan at most, Zhao Mengqing can't even manage his own one-third of an acre, and he needs to pretend to be Sun Yan's hand, doesn't it make people laugh and lose their big teeth when it is passed out?

Wu Lian saw Zhao Mengqing's hesitation, and said eagerly: "The proprietor must not lose a big one because of a small one." This Qincha is menacing, and he must be going to take people. Linqing is on the edge of the canal, who is the trouble he doesn't ask for your trouble? ”

Wu Lian said in his heart If your butt is clean, then Gu Dingchen will not make something out of nothing and make a crime.

But Zhao Mengqing's butt is not clean. Like most officials in the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Mengqing was greedy for fire, taxes and silver, and even the money for building river embankments. Such an official, isn't it accurate to check one by one?

At this time, I don't want to huddle together for warmth, what face do I care about, what is it if I am not looking for death?

Zhao Mengqing paced a few steps with his hands behind his back, but still did not make up his mind.

Wu Lian said in his heart how he was blind and found such a useless guy to be the proprietor in the first place, and now it is too late to regret it, so he can only assist him with all his heart. Otherwise, something happened to Zhao Mengqing, and he, a strategist, would not end well.

"Don't hesitate, go to Dongchang Mansion and discuss with Lord Futai."

Zhao Mengqing's ears were soft, and he was pouted by Wu Lian so many times, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I'll go to Dongchang Mansion for a trip, and I will drag everything in the yamen first, and wait for the official to come back." ”

......

......

Zhao Mengqing left Linqing and went straight to Dongchang Mansion.

Take a boat along the Huitong River all the way south, and you will arrive at Liaocheng, the seat of Dongchang Prefecture.

Zhao Mengqing is a fifth-rank official, which is a whole two levels lower than the Dongchang prefect from the fourth-rank and his in-law Sun Yan.

And because the two of them have an in-law relationship, Zhao Mengqing feels that there is a strange feeling when he meets Sun Yan.

Therefore, he tried not to meet Sun Yan, even if he had to meet because of official business, the two of them would only talk a few words, and would never talk for a long time.

Today, there is no way, seeing that Qin Cha is going south to Linqing, he must go and discuss with his in-laws to see how to act.

Coming to the prefect's yamen, Zhao Mengqing coughed and said, "Lord Futai is here?" The official has important matters, and he must personally discuss them with the Lord of the Prefecture. ”

"Lord Zhao, please come with the little one."

A scribe respectfully bowed his hand to Zhao Mengqing and led him into the yamen.

In fact, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are almost the same, and they all know how to enjoy it very well.

Although the imperial court clearly stipulated that it was not allowed to use the treasury money of the prefecture and county to build the yamen mansion, the officials always had a way to build the back house magnificently.

Sun Yan, the prefect of Dongchang, is no exception.

As the richest government in Shandong, the yamen of Dongchang Mansion is comparable to the royal palace.

In addition to the renovation of the front office, the back house is the introduction of curved water, the construction of pavilions, pavilions, water pavilions.

I don't know, I think this is the mansion of the prince.

On this day, Sun Yan was drinking tea in the backyard, and when he saw the scribe leading Zhao Mengqing to come in a hurry, he couldn't help but be puzzled.

This in-law has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace. It's harder to find him on weekdays than to ascend to the sky, what's wrong today, why did you take the initiative to come to Dongchang Mansion?

Sun Yan put down the teacup and said with a slight smile: "How come Lord Zhao has time to come to Dongchang Mansion, isn't there any official business to deal with in Linqing?" ”

The corners of Zhao Mengqing's mouth twitched, and he said embarrassedly: "The lower officials have important matters that need to be consulted by Lord Futai." ”

Although the two are in-laws, after all, they are both court officials, so they still have to be more reserved in front of others. Otherwise, if it is spread by an uneyed official, it will have a great impact on the reputation.

"Oh, let's go to the study and talk."

The two of them entered the study with their front and back feet, and each sat down on the official hat chair. Sun Yancai lowered his voice and said, "Yi Lian, what is the matter?" ”

"Brother Yan, save me!"

Seeing that there was no one left and right, Zhao Mengqing had no scruples, and fell to his knees with a thud and hugged Sun Yan's thigh.

His sudden move frightened Governor Sun's mansion.

Sun Yan swallowed and spitted, "Yi Lian, what are you doing!" Get up, get up and speak! ”

He pulled Zhao Mengqing, but the other party didn't move.

Sun Yan held his breath and said, "You have to tell what happened." How can I help you if you don't say so? ”

"Brother Yan, the Qin mission is coming to Qing, what should I do?"

"Chincha? Is it the cabinet scholar Gu Dingchen Gu Ge Lao? ”

Sun Yan said unhurriedly.

"It's him, it's him. If it were someone else, I wouldn't be so anxious. But this master is a master who does not enter oil and salt. Brother Yan, what do you say I should do? ”

"Are you afraid that your greed for ink to build the river embankment and the silver will be found out?"

Zhao Mengqing gritted his teeth and said: "There is nothing wrong with the accounts. But I'm afraid that some people are not strict in their mouths. The guy surnamed Gu obviously came prepared, and I'm afraid he won't stop until he finds out something. ”

"How many people are involved in this? Don't you even know that for sure? ”

Sun Yan frowned.

"Brother Yan, although there are not many people who handle this matter, they may not all have the same heart as me. Steward Wu will not have a problem, but others only take benefits. In case they have a black heart......"

Before Zhao Mengqing finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by Sun Yan: "I'll take care of my own affairs." If you tell the official about this kind of thing, will the official have a way? ”

Sun Yan's attitude made Zhao Mengqing not know what to say.

Okay, at the beginning, most of the two middle schools of the river embankment and silver were in your pocket, why did you change your attitude sharply and be anxious to cut off the relationship when the Qin mission was coming?

Besides, the two families still have an in-law relationship, and the surname Sun is responsible for this?

Although Zhao Mengqing was very dissatisfied with Sun Yan, he couldn't directly turn his face with Sun Yan, at least he had to pass Gu Dingchen's level with the same enemy.

"Brother Yan, you can't say that, I didn't handle this matter well. But if something really happens, I'm afraid Brother Yan won't have a good time there. ”

"You!"

Seeing that Zhao Mengqing was threatening himself, Sun Yan wanted to stomp his feet angrily.

"I didn't say anything about it, don't be angry!"
