Chapter 553: Scandal

"Zhang Gongzi, help me." Zhang Yushi came back to his senses and just raised his feet, but the girl with red hearts tightly grabbed the corner of Zhang Yushi's clothes and begged bitterly.

"You've hurt me!" Zhang Yushi scolded, broke free, ran two steps, and saw that there was an end of the aisle in front of him, but it was a wall, and he couldn't help but sigh: Bitter.

It turned out that in this Yunlai Inn, there was only the middle one on the stairs of the guest room on the second floor, and the strong men originally rushed up from the first floor, blocking the only staircase. Zhang Yushi wanted to run, but there was no other way than to jump off the railing from the second floor.

With such a mistake, the strong man had already gathered around, staring at the big eyes of the copper bell, and sneering: "Stinky woman, are you running?" I'll see where you're going! He looked at Zhang Yushi again, took a big sip, and scolded: "And you, let me catch a show today, no one wants to run!" ”

Zhang Yushi's face turned pale, and he said with his hands: "This strong man, misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding......

"Whew!" The strong man scolded: "The woman who slept with me, dare you say that it was a misunderstanding?!" Brothers, drag this dog man and woman down for me and beat me up, and then drag them to the police! ”

"Okay, big brother." Several men behind him responded loudly and rushed towards Zhang Yushi.

Zhou Langzhong and the two Zhang Yushi's entourage naturally couldn't watch Zhang Yushi being beaten, so they stopped in front of Zhang Yushi.

Zhou Langzhong said with a smile: "Strong man, listen to me...... Ah! Before he finished speaking, he received a punch from a strong man in the head and staggered to the ground.

"Call me!" The strong man shouted.

Several men rushed up with short sticks in their hands, knocking the two entourages to the ground in three or two strokes.

Zhang Yushi was so frightened that his face was pale, and he entered the house in a panic. Seeing that the girl of hearts was still coming in, she couldn't help but think that all this was caused by this woman. He pushed it out angrily and closed the door tightly with his backhand!

Hear outside the door. The girl of hearts cried, the roar of the strong man, and the heavy kicking of the door, Zhang Yushi was panicked. This time, he really fell into the crotch of his pants, and it was not but. originally thought that the girl of hearts was the laughing woman who listened to Xiangge, but who would have thought that she actually lied and asked her husband at home to come to the door!

Every time the strong man kicked the door. And the door trembled, and when he saw two more blows, the door would collapse. Zhang Yushi was frightened, and saw that there was still a window open in the guest room, so he couldn't care much about it at the moment, so he hurried over, pushed open the window, climbed up to the window sill, and glanced at the first floor. Seeing how tall three people were, I couldn't help but be timid and hesitated.

Bang! As a puff of dust kicked up, the door of the guest room was finally overwhelmed by the strength of the strong man's feet. Poured inside.

Seeing this, Zhang Yushi closed his eyes and jumped down to the first floor. I only heard a muffled sound, and then Zhang Yushi snorted.

The head of the strong man poked out of the window. Seeing that Zhang Yushi fell on the ground on the first floor, he got up again. Holding one leg, he limped into the distance, and couldn't help shouting: "Want to run? There are no doors! With that, the strong man jumped up and jumped down from the window.

It's just that the strong man's technique of jumping out of the window is obviously better than Zhang Yushi's, and as soon as his figure landed, he ran after Zhang Yushi.

Zhang Yushi limped and ran, naturally he couldn't outrun the strong man, and when he turned around, he saw that the strong man was three or four meters behind him, and he knew that it would be difficult to escape, so he simply didn't run, and when he turned around, he cried and shouted at the strong man: "Big brother, this is really a misunderstanding......

The strong man ran in front of Zhang Yushi, screamed angrily, and flew up with one foot, only to hear Zhang Yushi's scream, and was kicked out directly by the strong man, lying on the street like a dead dog.

Immediately, the strong man's fist fell on Zhang Yushi like raindrops.

"Dare to sleep with my woman, I can't beat you!"

……

When Xu Liang went to the morning court today, he got off the carriage outside the noon gate, and saw the officials waiting for the court, whispering in a pile, and occasionally letting out a few laughs of schadenfreude.

Xu Liang looked at the old man Cao Ge's face attentively, and saw that the old man's eggplant was like frost, wilting, and his heart was dark.

He paced to the side of Li Tengfang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Fu Yu and others, and asked curiously: "A few adults have been invited, what is the situation?" Is something wrong? ”

Due to the matter of the sacrifice in the Taimiao, Li Shangshu, Fu Yu and others are more familiar with Xu Liang, the secretary of Guanglu Temple. Seeing this, Fu Yu whispered in surprise: "Lord Xu, you still don't know? Yesterday there was a big scandal in our capital, and now it is spreading throughout the capital. ”

Xu Liangda was interested and urged: "Really? What a scandal, let's hear about it. ”

Fu Yu twisted his lips and gestured in the direction where Cao Ge Lao was standing, and whispered, "Don't you see that Cao Ge Lao has no majesty today?" Hehe, yesterday, Lord Zhang, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, Zhou Langzhong of the household department didn't know which tendon was wrong, and he actually went to Tongzhou City to play with women, and as a result, the woman's husband was arrested! was beaten violently and sent to the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion! ”

Saying that, Fu Yu's face was full of schadenfreude, and he chuckled at Xu Liang: "On weekdays, when I see that Yushi's face, I can't imagine that this old boy is so good!" Ha, I heard that when I was sent to the Shuntian Mansion yesterday, I entered the city from Yongding Gate and was twisted to the Shuntian Mansion, and half of the people in Beijing along the way saw it. Alas, this time, the face of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was lost by Zhang Yushi! ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he smiled in his heart, but his face was still surprised, echoing Fu Yu's laughter. After a while, the bell of the court rang, and the ministers stopped talking and lined up to go to the court.

There was such a big incident in the capital, Emperor Chongzhen of the deep palace had already known, as soon as he went to the court, Emperor Chongzhen angrily directly issued a decision to deal with Zhang Yushi, the imperial history of the capital, dismissed the official, and never used it!

When Cao Ge heard this, his body shook for a while, and he almost couldn't stand steadily.

When the dynasty was dispersed, Xu Liang saw that Bi Ziyan, the secretary of the household department, was pulling Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the ministry, and muttered something with hatred on his face.

Also, Zhang Yushi had such a big scandal, although Zhou Langzhong was not involved in it. But he was present at the time and was somewhat suspicious. It's hard to tell.

Sure enough, within a few days, Zhou Langzhong of the household department was dismissed for a trivial matter. Following in the footsteps of Zhang Yushi, he left Beijing gloomily and returned to his hometown to farm.

One day, Xu Liang, Wang Xian, and Yu Dacheng had a small gathering in the guest house, and when they talked about Zhang Yushi's scandal, the three of them couldn't help but make fun of it again.

Wang Xian smiled: "Do you know? After hearing that Zhang Yushi was dismissed by His Majesty, the lady of the main room in the family made a fuss about returning to her parents' house. said that he couldn't get along with Zhang Yushi. Zhang Yushi couldn't raise his head in the capital, and a few days ago he sold the real estate in Beijing at a low price, took his wife and children, and quietly went back to his hometown in Shandong. ”

Xu Liang smiled and asked: "Zhang Yushi can be regarded as the old leader of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he left Beijing, and the gang of the Metropolitan Procuratorate gave the matter, the imperial history or something, and no one went to say goodbye?" ”

Wang Xian sneered: "Now Zhang Yushi has become a disgrace to the officials of the Ming Dynasty, and those officials of science and Taoism claim to be the embodiment of justice. A model of morality, it's too late to hide from Zhang Yushi, how can he be willing to get involved? ”

Xu Liang chuckled.

Yu Dacheng toasted Xu Liang with a glass of wine, and then sighed: "Speaking of which, it is still Brother Xu's interests. The people who want to frame you. It didn't end well. Ma Xiangyang, the doctor of Taixue who impeached you, was beheaded for public display, and Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the criminal department who investigated you, was so sick that he vomited blood and is still bedridden. And that Zhang Yushi and Zhou Langzhong were also dismissed! Alas. Come to think of it, Xu Liang, are you too angry? Whoever offends you doesn't end well? ”

Xu Liang smiled and said, "Brother Yu is joking again." These people have fallen into such a situation, because they have lost their own virtues and sins. It has nothing to do with me. ”

According to the news reported by Tsing Yiwei, after Zhang Yushi and Zhou Langzhong were dismissed, some well-intentioned people in the court had become suspicious of Xu Liang. Cao Yubian, the cabinet minister who suffered the most losses, also specially sent someone to investigate the identity of the strong man who dragged Zhang Yushi and Zhou Langzhong to the Shuntian Mansion to report to the officials.

It's just that Cao Ge Lao is destined to be disappointed. The strong man and the girl of hearts are both fresh faces specially found by Tietou, and after the matter was completed, he arranged for them to go to the south and work in Ge Qiao's Tongtianxia business, unless Cao Ge Lao launched Jinyiwei or Dongchang to investigate all over the country, it was impossible to find people.

Cao Ge Lao couldn't find anyone, so he would naturally be suspicious, but Xu Liang was not worried at all. Without evidence, Cao Gelao's suspicions were useless.

However, next, Wang Xian's words attracted Xu Liang's attention.

"Now that the Imperial History of the Imperial Court of the Imperial Court is vacant, and the court is brewing a new candidate for the Imperial History of the Imperial Palace, several adults have already greeted Lord Shangshu," Wang Xian said: "Even several elders of the cabinet have specially handed over words to Wang Shangshu. Alas, Wang Shangshu is having a headache about this. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he couldn't help but get moved. Although the imperial history of the capital is only an official from the fourth grade, it is an important role in the official system. Nowadays, there is only one left capital imperial history Cao Yubian, and the imperial history of the capital is regarded as an important figure in the top three of the metropolitan inspection court.

Moreover, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has always been the throat of public opinion in the Ming Dynasty and controls the direction of the court's speech. The reason why Cao Ge Lao is so bullish in the DPRK is not only because he is a cabinet minister, but also because he directly controls the sharp weapon of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The adults in the court will not be very clean under their buttocks, so naturally they don't want to offend this Lord Zuodu Yushi.

Such a critical position, if Xu Liang can hold it in his hands, it will be of great help to Xu Liang's future development. More importantly, he was able to keep his eyes in the camp of his sworn enemy Cao Ge Lao, mix some sand, and monitor Cao Ge Lao's every move, so that Cao Ge Lao had some scruples when he had bad thoughts.

Xu Liang secretly made up his mind that it was necessary to fight for the position of this imperial historian. So he poured a full glass of wine for Wang Xian, touched a glass with him, and asked: "Brother Wang, the selection of officials is the responsibility of the ministry, Wang Shangshu must have a favorite candidate in his heart, right?" ”

Wang Xian said: "Who says it's not? Lord Shangshu wanted to transfer people from the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, but there were too many people to greet him, and it was difficult for Wang Shangshu to do it. ”

Xu Liangxin said: Wang Yongguang wants to transfer people from the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, so it must be his own lineage. After thinking about it, he asked again: "You just said that even the cabinet ministers interfered?" Could it be that Elder Xu Ge also greeted Wang Shangshu? With Xu Guangqi's person, it shouldn't be. ”

Wang Xian glanced at Xu Liang and said faintly: "Brother Xu, I know that you have a good relationship with Xu Ge Lao. But don't think too much of Xu Ge Lao. Elder Xu Ge is also an official, and if he is an official, he must always have someone he wants to support. ”

"Oh, Brother Wang is very right." Xu Liang said: "But I don't know who Xu Ge recommended him?" ”

Wang Xian thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "I forgot what the specific name is." It seems to be a senator from Jiangnan. ”

When Xu Liang heard this, he felt a burst of regret in his heart, originally his plan was to pull Xu Guangqi and Wang Yongguang together, persuade them to support their candidates, and help their candidates to take the position. But the premise of this idea is that neither Xu Guangqi nor Wang Yongguang has a favorite candidate in their hearts. Otherwise, it would be a bit difficult for Xu Liang to persuade them to give up their candidates and support Xu Liang instead.

Xu Liang asked two questions one after another, and Yu Dacheng looked at Xu Liang suspiciously and asked, "Brother Xu, do you care about this matter so much?" Do you have an idea about the location of this imperial history? Then, Yu Dacheng patted his head and said: "No, Brother Xu, you are now a third-grade Guanglu Siqing, and if you go to be the imperial history of the capital, it will be degraded and delegated, and it is not cost-effective." ”

Wang Xian listened, also looked at Xu Liang, and looked at him in shock.

Xu Liang smiled dumbly and said, "Brother Yu said that I am not interested in this imperial history at all. However, I want to fight for others. ”

Wang Xian and Yu Dacheng were taken aback, the two of them sat up straight, and exclaimed, "You really have an idea?!" ”

Xu Liang nodded seriously.

Wang Xian and Master Yu glanced at each other, and Wang Xian asked, "Let's hear it, the two of us will refer to it for you." ”

Xu Liang said: "This person must be known to Brother Wang. He is the Zodiac Zhou. When I was the magistrate of Zhenyuan County, Lord Huang was the county magistrate; When I was the prefect of Pingliang, Lord Huang was experienced; Now he is Pingliang Tongzhi and is the fifth grade. ”

Wang Xian listened, nodded slowly, and said: "In terms of Huang Daozhou's grade qualifications, it is enough to strive for it, and to mention the grade, it is enough for any of the four grades to be from the imperial history." It's just that at the moment, this Yudu Yushi is a big fat meat, and there are too many people staring at it, if Brother Xu wants to seek this position for Huang Daozhou, well......"

Wang Xian said, his tone hesitant.

Seeing this, Xu Liang said curtly: "I know, the difficulty is a bit big. ”

Wang Xian looked at Xu Liang seriously and said sincerely: "It's not a little big, but it's basically no fun." ”

Xu Liang screamed: "Do you want to be so direct?!" ”

Wang Xian laughed, beckoned Xu Liang and Yu Dacheng to drink a glass of wine, then put down the wine glass, and explained: "Brother Xu, I didn't say this to hit you on purpose. It's just that you recommend Huang Daozhou, in the eyes of these adults in the capital, there is really no advantage. I know, Huang Daozhou is a capable official in your eyes, but what about Wang Shangshu's eyes? In the eyes of several cabinet elders? In the eyes of the emperor? I don't think there are many people who know who the zodiac week is......" (To be continued.) )
