Chapter 408: Shaking Inside

Xu Fo's family is fine, Gu Hengbo, Kou Baimen and others have been waiting for Xu Fo's family to return to Qinhuai River, back to Shengze Homecoming, they even prepared a banquet to suppress the shock of Xu's family, but unfortunately Xu's family did not return to Qinhuai River at all, and it was a few men with strong physiques who went to Shengze's homecoming home, these men were on behalf of Xu's family to Shengze Homecoming, it is said that they found the boss of Shengze Homecoming and took away a sum of silver, which is a lot of money.

This proves that the Xu Fo family will not return to the Qinhuai River, perhaps because they have found a good home.

There is no impermeable wall in the world, just a few days have passed, the whereabouts of the Xu Buddha family were learned by Gu Hengbo and others, to their surprise, the Xu Buddha family actually went to Huai'an, and entered the Caoyun Governor's Palace, becoming the concubine of the crown prince Shaobao Zheng Xunrui.

Such explosive news made Gu Hengbo and others difficult to accept, originally thought that the fate of the Xu Fo family was tragic, but who knew that there was such a dramatic change, and the people climbed to the real high branches, and since then they have lived the life of an official's wife, forever separated from the Qinglou and changed their identity, which inevitably made Gu Hengbo and others sigh to themselves.

The emotion of Gu Hengbo and others is that they are in Qinhuaihe, and they will not say it, but the news of Zheng Xunrui's secret arrival in Nanjing is not so simple in the eyes of Liu Zongzhou, Wang Duo and others.

The matter of Xu Fo's family, Liu Zongzhou has heard about it, to be honest, he doesn't believe it, a Qinglou woman, almost never left the Qinhuai River, how could she collude with the Liukou, and secretly fund the Liukou, not to mention the rest, just say how to send this money over, it is not something that a Qinglou woman can do, so he didn't care.

Later, I heard that Chen Zhenhui had a treat in Qinhuai River and invited Xu Fo's family to participate, and Xu Fo's family refused to serve Huang Daozhou's matter, Liu Zongzhou felt very bad, could it be that this was a retaliatory action taken by Chen Zhenhui and others, if it was really like this. Then the character of Chen Zhenhui and others is questionable, for such a small thing that is not on the table, they take revenge like this, is there still the character of a scholar. Can it still be regarded as the leader of Donglin Academy?

Liu Zongzhou occasionally discussed this matter with Wang Duo, and in the eyes of Liu Zongzhou, who believed in prudence, it was very inappropriate to do so, even despicable, but Wang Duo didn't believe it very much. The reason is also very simple, Xu Fojia's crime was determined by the county government of Shangyuan County, and Ma Kuifeng, the magistrate of Shangyuan County, is not a member of the Donglin Party, so there is no need to help Chen Zhenhui and others do things.

Wang Duo's explanation made Liu Zongzhou feel a little relieved, and he also thought that the fourth prince was very famous in Nanjing, so he would not do such a thing.

Yang Tingshu meddled in the affairs of Xu Fo's family, and Liu Zongzhou couldn't see it at all, and felt that the Sixth Department of Nanjing and the Metropolitan Procuratorate could not interfere in the handling of cases by the Fuzhou County Yamen, and it was inappropriate to do so. Therefore, he opened his mouth to Yang Tingshu, saying that it was the case of Xu Fo's family, or let Shangyuan County conclude the trial and find out.

Of course, Liu Zongzhou didn't know that his words had made many people misunderstand.

Immediately afterwards, Shangyuan County issued a notice again, saying that Xu Fo's family was innocent and compensated people for a hundred taels of silver, which made Liu Zongzhou a little annoyed, such a big thing. It is clearly said that the Xu Fojia is colluding with the rogue and plotting rebellion, but in the end, this matter is wrong, and it is difficult to make the notice of the yamen a joke.

Liu Zongzhou's impression of Ma Kuifeng, the magistrate of Shangyuan County, is still good, and he is knowledgeable. Dealing with things knows the priorities, serving as the magistrate of Shangyuan County for several years, maintaining local stability, which is equivalent to ensuring the stability of Nanjing City, I can't imagine that in the matter of Xu Fo's family, Ma Kuifeng is so confused. You must know that the Qinhuai River is so special, all kinds of people gather there, who knows what kind of comments will come out.

Liu Zongzhou still endured and did not ask, after all, handling cases is a local matter, as long as the unjust, false and wrongful cases are not handled, and no one shouts injustice, the military department does not need to interfere.

After the news of Zheng Xunrui's secret coming to Nanjing spread, Liu Zongzhou finally began to attach great importance to this matter, after thinking about it, he found that the matter of Xu Fo's family was not simple, I am afraid it was not as he imagined, otherwise Zheng Xunrui would not have come to Nanjing secretly, and people did not come to Nanjing Sixth Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate at all, which shows that Zheng Xunrui is angry in his heart.

To tell the truth, Liu Zongzhou's overall impression of Zheng Xunrui is not bad, although he is a member of the Donglin Party, but Liu Zongzhou is very strict with his own requirements, requiring others with prudence, and also demanding himself with prudence, in his opinion, Zheng Xunrui is indeed a talent, able to do things, and will be the pillar of the Ming Dynasty in the future, as for the impeachment of Zheng Xunrui, it is also a matter of facts, and it will not completely change Zheng Xunrui's views because of an impeachment.

In this regard, Liu Zongzhou and Huang Daozhou have some consistent views, after Huang Daozhou and Zheng Xunrui talked, they were indignant, after arriving in Nanjing, they specifically looked for Liu Zongzhou, and the two analyzed Zheng Xunrui's words together, and they were surprised to find that Zheng Xunrui's evaluation of some of the Donglin Party members was really to the point, and pointed to the key point.

After all, Zheng Xunrui is a student of Liu Zongzhou, this special feeling is something that others can't understand, for what Zheng Xunrui did that he didn't seem to be appropriate, Liu Zongzhou was holding an indisputable attitude of lamenting his misfortune and anger, and it was by no means the goal that some people thought of completely.

This time, Zheng Xunrui came to Nanjing, but he didn't meet him Liu Zongzhou, which made Liu Zongzhou extremely angry and uncomfortable.

Liu Zongzhou quickly found Ma Kuifeng, the magistrate of Shangyuan County, and asked about Xu Fo's family with a stern attitude.

Ma Kuifeng's narration made Liu Zongzhou's face change again and again, so that Liu Zongzhou couldn't believe that this matter was true, and after several consecutive questions, after getting the exact answer, Liu Zongzhou's face turned pale.

When Wang Duo entered the house, Liu Zongzhou's face was still gloomy.

"My lord, what's going on?"

"Lord Wang, you and I are both members of the Donglin Party, when Shouzhi, Youxuan, and Qitian came to Nanjing, we came forward to receive them, which was supposed to be done, but now that I think about it, I really did something wrong."

Wang Duo was taken aback, he didn't know why Liu Zongzhou said such words, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Liu Zongzhou looked at Wang Duo and sighed heavily.

"The struggle between the Donglin Party and the eunuch party, I remember very clearly, at that time, many people went forward one after another, fearless, and finally the emperor cleared Wei Zhongxian, I think to come at that time, countless Donglin party people, but also for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, but after so many years, I feel that some Donglin party people, what they did, completely deviated from the track, so that in order to eliminate dissidents, unscrupulous means, do not care about the future of the Ming Dynasty."

"How can my lord have such feelings, Xia Guan really doesn't understand."

"The case of the Xu Fo family, Lord Wang must know something, today I specifically asked Lord Ma, the magistrate of Shangyuan County, to know the reason, and what makes me even more sad is that it is also involved."

Liu Zongzhou shook his head and told the ins and outs of the matter one by one.

Wang Duo's face turned pale when he heard this, in fact, he also knew some of the party disputes in the court, but it was all what happened in the court, thinking about it carefully, in order to be able to gain a foothold in the court, it is understandable that sometimes certain things are done, but the fourth prince represented by Chen Zhenhui actually thought about framing Zheng Xunrui, which is worth pondering.

Chen Zhenhui and others are not people in the court, and it is inappropriate to meddle in the affairs of the court, to say that there is no one behind them, and they don't have such courage, and Qian Qianyi is also involved, which shows that things are not simple.

"Lord Wang, Lord Zheng made a special trip to Nanjing to investigate this matter, and until he left, he didn't meet you and me, no matter what, you and I are the mentors of Lord Zheng, he came to Nanjing, and he didn't see you and me, this is unreasonable, but I thought of the banquet and the others, and I understood the reason, if it was me, I wouldn't visit."

Wang Duo nodded.

"What the adult means, the lower officials understand, and Lord Zheng is afraid that the adults and the lower officials are the backstage of Chen Zhenhui and others, and it is also involved in receiving them, so it is even more difficult to say."

"Yes, there is one more thing, I once told Lord Yang, don't meddle in the case of the Xu Fo family, let Shangyuan County review it well, now it seems that it is too abrupt to say such words, who knows that there is such a thing behind this."

Wang Duo pondered for a moment.

"My lord, the lower officials think that it is better not to make this matter public, Lord Zheng came to Nanjing to investigate secretly, he must have figured out the reason, but there was no action, which shows that Lord Zheng does not want to make this matter public, if such a thing is made public, Donglin Academy will be questioned by all parties."

"What Lord Wang said is right, it's better not to make it public at this time, but I'm very disappointed in it, if I have time, I still ask Youxuan and Qitian to warn Chen Zhenhui and others, don't be too arrogant, I don't know how thick the sky is."

"Why don't you reprimand them yourself?"

"I don't want to see them, do such dirty things, they don't want to think about it, their family will also be disgraced."

Speaking of Chen Zhenhui and others, Liu Zongzhou was still very angry.

"Lord Wang, I have decided, write a letter to Lord Zheng, carefully explain the affairs of the Xu Fo family, lest Lord Zheng misunderstand, Lord Zheng took into account the face of Donglin Academy, we also have to explain, said here, I thought of a very critical point, some practices of the Donglin Party people, it seems that there is really a problem, no wonder Lord Zheng is so unoptimistic, I don't know how many other things, you and I don't know, thinking of the impeachment of Lord Zheng a few years ago, I am afraid that you and I made the most wrong decision."

Wang Duo sighed.

"Xiaguan thinks the same way, no matter what, Master Zheng is a student of adults and Xiaguan, and the matter has come to this point, and there is no way to regret it." (To be continued.) )
