"Ascension."

Zhang Zhixian sat in the public court, and his heart couldn't help but be a little trance.

He has been in Yongkang for several years, few people beat the drum and shout grievances, this morning, he has just had breakfast, and is ready to go to the outside of the city with Song Xiancheng to see the embankment of the Kangxi River, after all, it is almost summer, and the flood season is coming again.

Before he went out, he heard Master Zhao say that someone was beating a drum to avenge his grievances, so he hurriedly came out in an official uniform.

After sitting down, he looked at Zhang Mu under the hall. Zhang Fu knelt on the ground, and Wang Hongtai stood on one side, and couldn't help but be taken aback.

Wang Hongtai he knows, after all, there are only a few students in the county, the so-called students are the top people in the show, and they are given meals every month to subsidize their lives. There is a fixed number of places.

Although Wang Hongtai has no intention of starting a career, he is very knowledgeable in this small Yongkang County, and he is also the number one person, and Zhang Zhixian also admires it.

And Zhang Mu needless to say, that rì county test, this child left a deep impression on him, he wrote a good hand, made a splendid article, he concluded in his heart, this son rì will become a great tool.

And the white-haired Zhang Fu is one of the famous squires in this county, and he has a good reputation in Pingrì.

"Mighty - Martial ——!"

After the two classes of officials stood still with water and fire sticks in their hands, they shouted through the entrance of the hall, which was the official ascension to the hall.

"Who's in the hall? What's wronged? ”

Zhang Zhixian asked with a straight face.

"Zhusheng Wang Hongtai has seen adults, and today he took his apprentice Zhang Mu to sue the county seat Qingyun Guanyu Zhenzi for murder. This is a late-born state, please take a look at it. Immediately, Wang Hongtai handed the complaint to the master bookkeeper.

The main book was handed to Zhang Zhixian again.

Zhang Zhixian took a cursory glance and immediately gasped.

It was clearly written in black and white on the form, and Zhang Mu was almost killed.

It has only been less than seven or eight days since Zhang Mu was assassinated last time, and I thought that this matter would be calm, but a thief popped out again.

"Wang Zhutou, quickly take the third class of officials and follow me to Qingyunguan." Zhang Zhixian didn't say a word, so he ordered to take people.

At that moment, there was a commotion in the county office, and in a moment's effort, about 20 or so arrest teams had been formed, and under the personal leadership of Zhang Zhixian, they were heading towards Qingyunguan.

Zhang Zhixian sat in a sedan chair and was uneasy, it was really not easy to be an official in Hongwu Nian.

In the fourteenth year of Hongwu, the law on the assessment of officials was promulgated, and this is not counted, there is still a group of well-fed and helpless imperial historians staring at it, but fortunately, there has been no activity in Jinyiwei in the past two years, otherwise, there is really no way to live.

In the more than ten years since Zhang Zhixian took over, the Jinhua Mansion alone, the number of officials who have seen, heard, killed, and exiled has exceeded 100, just like the Lord Wang of Linxian County, who was still sitting in the hall in the morning, and became a prisoner in the afternoon with a flail and a belt.

This is not counting, the new official can't come, he has to wear shackles to continue to work, and it turned out that it was easy to bring the new magistrate to Pan here, but I didn't expect that the goods were just three days after taking office, and they were involved, saying that it was related to the Hu case, and Jinyiwei took it away directly, and the poor Lord Wang had already walked to the road of distribution, but he was robbed back and continued to work for another month.

I'm afraid that this kind of thing is unique in all dynasties, not to mention that there is also Lord Liu, who was just beheaded last month, and the body is still in the temple outside the county yamen.

It's good now, there have been two big cases in a row, and it's really a wave of unsettled waves, and if you don't handle it properly this time, I'm really afraid that you will have to go home to farm.

Qingyunguan is located near Shantang Village, less than five miles away from the county seat, and arrived here in a short time after leaving the county seat.

At this moment, the gate of Qingyunguan was closed, and after Zhang Zhixian arrived, he ordered to surround the place, and then Fan Putou turned over and entered the Taoist temple with three yacha, and quietly opened the gate.

Immediately, a dry government rushed in, and the quiet Qingyun Temple immediately jumped with chickens and dogs.

"My lord, there is no one in this Qingyunguan, but the small one has discovered this." Fan Zhutou immediately took a blood-stained night coat and handed it to Zhang Zhixian.

Zhang Zhixian glanced at it, which was no different from the description of Zhang Mu's complaint, and he stumbled on his feet, and said with a pale face: "Immediately paint a portrait of the criminal, and immediately issue an arrest document." ”

——————————————————

When Haoyue was in the air, Song Xiancheng dragged his tired body and turned over and dismounted, and an old servant in the house hurriedly came out to hold the horse for him, bowed his waist and said: "Master, Zhang Yuan has been waiting in the flower hall for a long time." ”

"Zhang Chi?" As soon as Song County's face changed, he hurriedly picked up his official robe and walked towards the house.

When I entered the flower hall, I saw Zhang Chi sitting on one side serving tea, looking very nervous.

"Grass people see adults." Zhang Chi saw Song Xiancheng and hurriedly saluted.

"Go down, you all don't have to wait here." Song Xiancheng waved his hand and said, and the servants in the flower hall came out.

"Poof!" With a bang, Zhang Chi knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "My lord, spare your life, what happened last night was indeed not instructed by the grass people. The grass people had just heard about it, so they hurriedly came to discuss it with the adults. ”

"Bastard, are you all grass in your head? Lack of success, more than failure! I've told you again and again to be careful, how stupid you are like pigs. Speaking of this, Song County hated it at all, and kicked Zhang Chi with one kick.

At that moment, Zhang Chi rolled to the side, and after getting up in embarrassment, he kept kowtowing and begging for mercy.

"Where is Tamako now?" Song Xiancheng took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked in a deep voice.

"Hiding from the limelight in the small grange outside the city, the small one stabilized him, and then he hurried to report to the lord. He took my nephew's money, and he went to do it, and he didn't want to accidentally miss it. Zhang Chi said tremblingly.

"Yu Zhenzi can't stay any longer, the people who come halfway here are really unreliable." Song Xiancheng said in a low voice.

"The little one understands, and the little one will personally go and end up with that bastard." Zhang Chi hurriedly said.

"This matter has already alarmed the government office, and now Lao Tzu has wiped your butt for a day, and Ming Rì Feng Tuiguan will personally come to inquire about the case. Never leave anything behind, and if you make a mistake again this time, be careful of your dog's life. Song Xiancheng said angrily, just saying this, Song Xiancheng turned around and asked: "Zhang Mu is a child who has no power to restrain the chicken, Yu Zhenzi's skills are not bad, how can he miss?" ”

"Back to my lord, Yu Zhenzi confessed that there was a master by Zhang Mu's side to protect him, so he missed. As for the master, the little one hasn't had time to find out who it is. However, Zhang Mu, the child, really underestimated him, pretending to be crazy and stupid in Zhang's Mansion for more than two years, and deceived the little ones alive. A few times ago, he fell for him, and now he is ruined. Zhang Chi lowered his head and said.

"It seems that Zhang Mu, this kid, is quite deep in the city, and these few rì are tight, so I can't touch him again. But he couldn't live anymore. You find the right time to get rid of him. Song Xiancheng said coldly.

"The little one has already planned to get rid of Zhang Mu on the way to the house test, if it weren't for the recklessness of the nephew who didn't make it, he would have been able to do it just by waiting for some rìzi. The little one went back and cleaned him up. Zhang Chi said hurriedly.

"Zhang Chi, you have served for this official for many years, and this official knows it in his heart. It doesn't seem to have much to do with you. Get up. When Song Xiancheng heard this, he sat down on a chair and said, I want to give a sweet date if I slap him, and now that Yu Zhenzi's case has been reported, he is leaning on Zhang Chi now.

Speaking of which, this is what makes him the most angry, and it is still very useful to take in Yu Zhenzi, but now it is all in vain.

Zhang Chi hurriedly got up from the ground and stood to the side tremblingly.

"You and I both know in our hearts that we are ordered by others, and what we have to do is also a major matter of raiding the family and exterminating the family, so we have to be careful in everything. If we mess up, the court will not let us go, and the master will not let us go. Therefore, you have to use your brain in everything after rì. Song County said earnestly.

"The little ones understand." Zhang Mu bowed and said.

"It's good to understand, it's done, you and you have endless glory and wealth, don't make a mistake and become a thousand years of hatred. Also, back then, the official asked you to get rid of your brother because your brother was the identity of Jinyiwei. If he hadn't learned about our situation, he wouldn't have killed him. As for the family business in his house, it was all the icing on the cake. Don't give me a big loss for this little thing. Got it? Song Xiancheng looked at Zhang Chi and said.

Zhang Chi nodded hurriedly, and Song Xiancheng continued: "After the Hu case, although the power of Jinyiwei is not as good as before, but the master can say that the people the emperor wants to kill have not been killed, and Jinyiwei is still useful." We need to be more careful everywhere. I'll help you deal with things on the surface, but you can weigh the things that don't see the light. ”

"Don't worry, Zhang Ao and Yu Zhenzi, I will do it with my own hands, and I will definitely leave no trace." Zhang Chi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said.

"It's not early, you can go back. Besides, that Zhang Mu's matter must be done without leakage. If something goes wrong again, even if the official can tolerate you, the master can't tolerate you. Go ahead. After Song Xiancheng finished speaking, he leaned tiredly on the back of the Huanghuamu Taishi chair and closed his eyes.

"The little one quits." After Zhang Chi made a gesture, he retreated to the door, and then turned to leave.
