After the last words, Ma Xun saw that he was being put on a big hat, how could he continue to be silent, and refuted: "Chen Yingzhen! How dare you slander and slander Chincha! What a guts! ”

Li You didn't react, who is Chen Yingzhen?

Seeing Chen Zhixian disdainfully: "Master Ma dares to do it, do you dare to care?" This eunuch said that he came to the county to ask for silk, but he couldn't, and was driven out of the county government by the official. Then yesterday you sealed the silk library, and today you and the eunuchs came to the door at the same time. All this is too much of a coincidence, could it be that you are not here for the sake of official business? ”

Li You suddenly realized, it turned out that Chen Zhixian's name was Chen Yingzhen, and it was the first time he heard it in such a long time, mainly because no one in the county directly called him by name.

Ma Xun said coldly: "This official is indeed here for this matter, but he can't tolerate it..."

He was only halfway through saying this, when he heard someone in the crowd shouting angrily: "In broad daylight, there is a strange story of the Qin cha colluding with the eunuchs to seek money!" Dare to ask me if the people are still alive? ”

Ma Xun was furious, turned his head and shouted at the crowd, "Shut up! Which Diao people are here..."

Before he finished his words, Chen Zhixian said loudly here: "Master Ma! Although I respect you as a messenger, but this official doesn't want this black veil, and he can't watch you wait for the thieves and eunuchs to collude and do nothing! After speaking, he took off his official hat with both hands, and looked at Ma Xun awe-inspiringly.

Ma Xun, who was repeatedly interrupted, trembled angrily, turned around to say something, and continued to be preempted. I saw a subordinate official beside the weaving eunuch say to Chen Zhixian: "Why bother Lord Chen, Master Ma is a Qincha, and Gonggong Lu is the emperor, they can all reach the sky, you always have to think about yourself." ”

Inspector Li also persuaded in a low voice: "Please think twice about the county." ”

Chen Zhixian gritted his teeth and said: "Why don't I cherish my seven-foot cheap body." ”

Ma Xun finally saw the strangeness, the weaving bureau took the initiative to stick it on him, and he couldn't shake it off. Is this a coincidence? He pointed to the smiling Eunuch Lu to speak, but was interrupted... Someone in the crowd shouted: "The evil is powerful, the old man of Qingtian is not able to catch it, why don't I go to Suzhou Mansion to sue!" May the goers go with me to the north gate for a boat! Immediately, twenty or thirty people went to the north of the city, and the surrounding soldiers did not stop them after a few times.

Chen Zhixian spoke again: "The people's hearts are like this, so why should this official be afraid." If you want to play this matter to the court as it is, it must be your own public opinion! ”

Ma Dong and Ma Dong from several sides said one sentence to another, said and shouted, Ma Xun really couldn't grab a few mouths according to his own mouth, and everyone shouted and really named him a eunuch. Thinking of this, he was instantly stimulated by the blood gushing, dizzy, and felt a sense of injustice stuck in his chest and couldn't exhale, almost suffocating himself.

Looking back on Ma Xun's life path, it can be said that it was smooth sailing - he was admitted to the Jinshi at a young age, and was favored by the elder of the pavilion as the east bed, and he was the most beautiful official when he first entered the official career. In the past 20 years, how has he ever encountered this current scene where he has been wronged to the point of being unable to argue?

Being treated as a rat crossing the street, this is simply more uncomfortable than killing him, how dare he have a promising future! These people who don't know the truth even colluded to go to Suzhou Mansion to file a complaint, and the Xujiang County side obviously didn't want to stop it. What kind of place is that, one of the areas with the highest density of scholars in the country, where the rumor of colluding with eunuchs to make money spreads, and what face does he have in Shilin! What's more, Chen Yingzhen also wants to play this matter to the court. Regardless of whether he can distinguish it in the end, it will be a serious blow to his reputation, and even if he can identify others, it can be said that he relied on his father-in-law to suppress it.

Everything came so suddenly, and this autumn was particularly sad. At this moment, the young patrol press was stunned by the impact of the cruel reality, and he didn't know what to do. I thought to myself, what did I do wrong?

It can only be said that he came to the wrong place at the wrong time and met the wrong person. The front foot weaving eunuch came to Xujiang County to seek the benefit of living silk was rejected, and the back foot patrol seized the silk library according to the imperial history, and it formed an appearance of collusion between the eunuchs and thieves, and everyone who saw it had this feeling in their eyes.

acted as an audience for a long time, Li You sighed, how many people in the audience knew that this wonderful scene was designed by him? Don't look at the weaving eunuch Lu Gonggong standing on the scene and not saying a word so far, he doesn't return the mouth even if he is insulted and insulted, and he always keeps a smile calmly, and seems to be very well-cultivated. In fact, he took five hundred taels of silver for the appearance fee, and today's business is to be scolded, probably this is the only one in the field except Li You who really understands what is going on (Chen Zhixian pretended not to understand).

Li You really wanted to rush up and recite a few lines - what a stylish thing it would be to be able to rebuke Qin Cha with righteousness and awe. It's a pity that first, I can't steal the limelight from Master Chen; The second is that he can't afford to provoke Ma Patrol, just dig a trap behind his back, and if he really wants to stand in front of the stage as cannon fodder, the consequences are unpredictable. So he only dared to follow Chen Zhixian to scold Eunuch Lu who secretly accepted his money in the opening stage.

Actually, I'm an actor, and it's boring to be a behind-the-scenes worker, Li Inspector thought helplessly.

There is another person who is more desolate than Ma Xun, that is Mr. Cui Jing Cui, although he doesn't understand what is going on at this time, but one thing is certain, it was he who pushed Ma Xun into the pit with his own hands... It's ridiculous that in order to fight for merit, he also attributed everything to his own discernment, and he will inevitably be angered by Ma Xun when he turns back... However, it was said that Ma Xun suddenly came to his senses when he was full of frustration, and this time he came to inquire about Chen Tongtong's suspected embezzlement of 5,000 taels of silver, as long as he bites this point, he may not be able to turn the tables. He regained his spirits and said to Chen Zhixian: "The official business is raw silk, and so far there are 5,000 taels of profits, and I don't know where to go after arriving at the county office, how do you explain it?" ”

Chen Zhixian was surprised: "In the name of tax silver, I went directly to the mansion, how can I call it that I don't know where to go?" ”

"What about the evidence?"

Chen Zhixian replied: "Naturally, there is a return ticket from the house, because the official wants to inspect it in person, and it has not been returned to the household, so I will take it out for Ma Daren to check." "Yesterday, Ma Xun checked the bank of the county yahu house, and from the book to the real thing, he didn't see any traces of silver, so he thought that there was something ulterior in it, and he came to inquire today. Who knew that the return ticket was in the hands of Chen Zhixian... Ma Xun is now finally sure that everything is not a coincidence, it is definitely planned in the same year in front of him, but he is hated that he has fallen into the ghost of the heart. Recalling the feelings of the elders in the family, the turmoil in the Huan Sea was sinister, he still didn't think so, and it wasn't until then that he understood a little bit of deep meaning. But what about the future? He's a little bored, and he's lost all hopes.

Seeing Ma Xun go away according to his party, Chen Zhixian, a righteous gentleman who had done something ungentlemanly, said to himself, Zi said that he repaid virtue with virtue and revenge with straightforwardness, and to deal with the evil villain, he had to use the side door to deal with the villain, even if he wanted to be a gentleman, he could not be bullied in vain - I don't know if this is a summary of experience or the self-salvation of the soul.

In other words, why did Eunuch Lu cooperate just right? I have to start from a few days ago, that day Li You returned to the Inspection Division, released the deputy envoy of the Weaving Bureau who came to test the truth, and told him that this business was too big, and asked the weaving eunuch to come and talk to the magistrate quickly, and he could pull the line.

After Eunuch Lu arrived in Xujiang County, Inspector Li secretly went to see him. First of all, he mentioned Chen Zhixian's background, and pointed out that most of the silver was given to the prefect, and on the spot, he made Eunuch Lu, who felt that he couldn't be provoked, retreat. Then Inspector Li took out five hundred taels of silver from the proceeds of raw silk and bought off Eunuch Lu.

Five hundred taels is really a lot. Therefore, Eunuch Lu is very open-minded, what is it to be scolded for cooperating with the play and being scolded for a few words as a thief and a gelding dog, is it that he has been scolded less, and it really doesn't matter if he is more this time. If he is scolded, he will have money to take, then he would rather be scolded to death every day, isn't his life just to earn more silver.

Therefore, the day before yesterday, Eunuch Lu went to the county government and was scolded by Chen Zhixian, and today he deliberately arrived at the county office at the same time as Ma Xun, continued to carry out the business of being scolded, and truly implemented the principle of smiling service. Inspector Li looked at it and sighed in his eyes, this dead eunuch is definitely suitable for being a customer service in the era of his previous life, and he can't tell what the situation is, and he will only laugh at you if you abuse him.

The details of all the arrangements Li You did not say to the magistrate, but only told the magistrate that something might happen at a certain time and place, and the county would respect you at that time. Chen Zhixian also had a tacit understanding and didn't ask in detail, pretending not to know, his identity couldn't always know about Li You's collusion with the eunuch and didn't say anything, so he still pretended not to know.

Before, Li You was always worried that Chen Zhixian would not be able to let go of the subordinates to do that bloody thing, so he would be busy in vain. Now Li You understands that don't underestimate the literati... The next time, Ma Xun left Xujiang and returned to Suzhou Mansion.

Immediately, the prefect went to the inspection institute to pay a visit, and asked the horse to patrol the press euphemistically, and said that there was no other thing in Suzhou Mansion that there were many rich people, but why did he have to work with the weaving eunuchs regardless of his face? He also asked the people of Xujiang County to complain all the way to the government office, which made it difficult for him to be a local official.

Ma Xunji was really difficult to defend himself, and he was embarrassed, so he simply left Suzhou again and went to Songjiang Mansion to inspect.

A month later, Ma Xun received a letter from his father-in-law, drenching him in blood and threatening to divorce him. According to the regulations, when you become a patrol, you are not allowed to have correspondence with your family. But whoever made Ma Xun's father-in-law is a university scholar at the level of a prime minister, and he can't be taken away by common sense.

This letter really frightened Ma Xun, there are more than 300 fellow scholars, and he is nothing without his father-in-law, who is the old man, and he can't go back to Beijing with his wings. However, the term of office of the patrol is one year, and he cannot leave if he does not complete it, so Ma Patrol has no choice but to continue to inspect the Jiangnan area amid the flattery and strange eyes of officials from all over the country.

The above has nothing to do with Patrol Li for the time being. helped Chen Zhixian rectify the opponent, Li You had not yet taken a few breaths, his future and fate encountered a major turning point, and the wheel of history rolled again. The county received an official document, and the imperial court changed the inspection of the world from military positions to miscellaneous positions, except for the Tusi. This is not what Li You expected before, and it also means that Li Patrol's comfortable and comfortable life is about to face drastic changes.
