Chapter 209: Killing Chickens and Monkeys?
On the second day of September, the new Zhejiang Inspector Shen Jian was appointed to Chun'an County, and will soon inspect various government affairs in Chun'an County.
This is a major event, the county magistrate Wang Gui led the county officials and local gentry and elderly representatives to the Qingxidu Wharf outside the south gate of the county government to meet Shen Xun.
Originally, Wang Zhixian planned to go to the county border to greet him, but Shen Xun sent his entourage over in advance and ordered him not to greet him from afar, and everything was simple.
Fang Yingwu and Fang Daxiucai, as the representative of the scholars, also stood in the crowd and looked ahead boredly. Not far in front, the county officials and officials had already knelt together, honestly saluting the patrol according to the imperial history.
It is the same as the seven grades, but the power status is very different, so Wang Gui still has to kneel and bow when he sees the imperial history. Don't talk about Wang Zhixian, even if the prefect sees the patrol, maybe he will kneel down to see each other, this is the prestige of the seven-grade patrol.
This Shen Xun has a white skin, and his age is only thirty-five or sixteen, which seems to be a few years younger than Wang Zhixian, but the comparison between the two is embarrassing.
Fang Yingwu was bored, and while watching Wang Zhixian see the imperial history, he secretly pondered a question in his heart - weishenme Wang Zhixian wants to bow down, and he, a scholar, doesn't have to kneel and worship? It seems to be this habit, and no one is dissatisfied with it.
After thinking about it, Fang Yingwu realized a truth. That's because the magistrate has entered the officialdom and is a formal official, and he is naturally bound by its laws within this system. At present, he can only be regarded as a marginal person in officialdom at most, and his main identity is still a scholar, so he can naturally choose not to comply.
The state values the scholars, and the scholars can be relatively detached. Even if there is a faux pas, it can be regarded as a disciplined and non-inflammatory. Of course. If you don't give a big gift, whether it will make the other party unhappy, that's another matter.
Over there, Wang Zhixian was still talking to Shen Xun. Don't know what to say. Fang Yingwu understands this very well, Wang Zhixian wants to talk to Shen Xun, and this is probably an opportunity.
This patrol is hunting according to the imperial history of the sky, the body is extremely strict, and the rules are also strict. According to the system, once you enter the county, the inspector is not allowed to have any dealings with the magistrates, so as not to abolish the public affairs and cause disadvantages.
In other words, in principle, there is only a time for greeting and farewell. The magistrate can talk a few words with the governor of the imperial history, so Wang Zhixian will seize the opportunity to say a few more good words.
After a while, Shen Xunpress finished talking to Wang Zhixian, then nodded to the gentry and the old people, and then got into a sedan chair and went to the county seat, and stationed in the temporarily prepared procuratorate.
After the end of the welcome ceremony, Fang Yingwu moved his legs and feet in place a few times and prepared to leave. But a servant trotted over, and the magistrate asked him to come over.
Fang Yingwu only said that Wang Zhixian wanted to ask about the preparation of the school. Yu reported: "I have already talked with the county school gentlemen, and there will be no surprises in the future, but please rest assured." ”
Wang Zhixian's face was a little puzzled, and he waved his hand and said, "I didn't ask you this. I want to say. I just talked to Xun Press, and most of the time I talked about you was actually you, could it be that you and Shen Xun Press were old acquaintances? ”
Yes? Fang Yingwu was taken aback. Wang Zhixian and Shen Xunji have been talking about him just now? Is this unlikely?
He hurriedly denied it: "Old father, don't laugh, I don't know Shen Xunji in my later life." I've never had any contact with each other, and I've never even heard of it. ”
"It's weird. So how could he ask about you? "Wang Zhixian is indeed very strange, when he talked to the Inspector Yushi just now, he even had the illusion that Fang Yingwu is the local protagonist.
However, Wang Zhixian really couldn't think of any reason, so Zuihou could only give up. He even has a little bit of selfishness, and it is better to pay attention to Fang Yingwu than to pick a bone in his Wang Gui's eggs. Don't ask for merit, but ask for no fault, this protagonist is not appropriate.
Fang Yingwu watched Wang Zhixian leave, and also fell into contemplation and confusion.
This Shen Xun's first stop is Chun'an, and he should have come to Shang Xianggong, otherwise Chun'an County would have no reason to attract him to come quickly. But he asked Wang Zhixian on the dock what he had done.
Fang Yingwu had long deduced that Shen Xun should have been chosen by Wan'an. Wan Shoufu attaches great importance to Zhejiang's personnel because of business, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get involved. Especially for the crucial position of patrolling the imperial history, Wan An will definitely use his own people as much as possible.
Judging from Shen Xun's performance, could it be said that he has attracted the attention of Wan Shoufu? Or did he say that he annoyed Wan Shoufu by stirring up trouble in Hangzhou?
As soon as this thought came to him, Fang Yingwu hurriedly suppressed it again, because this thought was too narcissistic! It's impossible!
Who is Wanan? No matter how bad the reputation is, it is the first assistant who has stood at the apex of the people; Who is the other party? It is said that the sky is just a showman, and it is difficult to say what the situation will be in the future. What reason does an elephant have to pay special attention to an ant?
But as soon as Fang Yingwu suppressed these distracting thoughts, new distracting thoughts appeared irrepressibly. Could it be that he has indeed attracted Wan An's attention and dissatisfaction, and is ready to kill himself and hack the monkey?
He Yingwu doesn't have any identity, but he is also a student of Shang Chen, a cheap relative of Wang Shu, and he happened to provoke Wan Shoufu recently because of the matter of the Zhejiang Political Envoy, so it seems that Wan Shoufu can easily open his own knife.
After all, Shang Xianggong and Wang Shu are not easy to move, but they are very easy to handle. Thinking of this, Fang Yingwu broke out in a cold sweat, this is not a fun thing, he doesn't want to be the chicken who kills chickens and hacks monkeys.
But it's no wonder that others, everything in the world has positive and negative sides, and rights and responsibilities are never separated.
He has enjoyed the benefits of being a student of Shang Xianggong and Wang Shu's grandson, and he can't run away when he should take on the obligation. And if there is a cause, there is an effect, and if there is a cause for him to stir up trouble in Hangzhou, there may be some consequences that are not transferred by his will.
Shen Xun went to Chun'an County, first to investigate the prison case, and then to check the money and food, and was very busy for five or six days, and the county government was waiting carefully. One day after that, the inspection court issued a card ticket, and the road was that Shen Xunzhi was going to the school to watch the wind.
Everyone in the world knows that public opinion comes from the school, and the wish of the countryside comes from the gentry. Therefore, if you want to watch the wind, going to school is a must-have itinerary.
At this time, the county students gathered and lined up neatly outside the Minglun Hall, waiting for the inspector to come to inspect and lecture according to the imperial history.
This is the moment when criticism is most likely to occur, but Fang Yingwu, who has been entrusted by the county, is not too worried, and there should be no leaks in the county school today.
He had already gone out through Hong Song and Xiang Chengxian - this patrol was Wan'an's person, so he was equivalent to Shang Xianggong's opponent; Whoever cooperates with him is Wan'an's lackey, a sinner and a public enemy in Chun'an County!
With such a big hat on the head, it is estimated that the students should be cautious when speaking, and they will not easily embarrass Wang Zhixian by talking nonsense in front of the imperial history. On the other hand, several top students have expressed their attitude, and other students always have to sell face.
Of course, it would be better for Wang Zhixian to have a few good words, but this is hard to come by. It's okay to help filter out bad remarks, but it's not so shameless as to make something out of nothing and deliberately fabricate rumors.
In other words, Fang Yingwu is not good at bending to meet and flatter, not because he lacks jishu, but because he lacks this heart.
didn't mention it, but said that when Shen Xunpress arrived at the county school, he didn't say anything to the students in the queue, but went directly to the Teaching Office. After that, some students were ordered, and one by one they were called in to speak.
Fang Yingwu was not clicked, but his friend Xiang Chengxian and Xiang Gongzi were clicked. After Xiang Gongzi came out, his expression was very inexplicable, and he frowned and said, "Brother Fang Xian!" While inside, the patrol asked a few words, and the rest was not much to say, but a few words were about you. ”
Another person next to him also said curiously: "Yes, Yu Shi did ask a few words about Classmate Fang." "There is another classmate who has just come out of the Imperial History, and he said the same when he saw this.
Fang Yingwu smiled bitterly again and again, he was really targeted by the patrol royal history? Look at his jiashi, are you going to slowly look for your flaws?
The students of the county school talked endlessly, and they all sighed that classmate Fang was really a man of the hour, and he always played the leading role. This is a royal history, and you have to ask other questions outside of the words, which is really in the limelight.
After Shen Xunji left the county school, Fang Yingwu also left quickly and went to the county office to meet Wang Zhixian. There must always be a beginning and an end to doing things, since it is entrusted by others, at this time it is necessary to report to Wang Zhixian County to inspect the wind in the school according to the imperial history.
"On the side of the school, my father's NTU can rest assured that there is no undeserved slander and criticism." Fang Ying Dao.
Of course, Wang Zhixian would not just wait for Fang Yingwu to report, he had already learned about Shen Xun's experience in the county from the officials, and nodded with a smile: "There is Lao Xiansheng, and the official is here to thank you." ”
Fang Yingwu said humbly: "The old father is serious, why do you need to be like this." ”
Wang Zhixian said politely: "I really should thank you, I don't know what method you used to attract the patrol to the imperial history to target you and distract Shen Xun's energy." I understand your heart! ”
Fang Yingwu was speechless, how could he have this spirit of sacrifice? What the hell is going on, he himself is still vague and depends on speculation.
He returned home, only to see Hong Song and Xiang Chengxian waiting.
When Hong Gongzi saw him, he hurriedly said, "Brother Fang Xian, after you left, there was a rumor in the county school. It's said that you offended a big man when you were out there, and this patrol is going to deliberately rectify you, so you're going to be unlucky. ”
Fang Yingwu sighed secretly, this rumor is quite accurate, it is rare.
Xiang Chengxian was not worried about this, and comforted: "Brother Fang Xian, please be relieved, this is nothing, the imperial history is just the imperial history, not the scholar, he can't directly manage you."
What's more, you're not without backing, how can he handle it casually? What you really have to guard against is the villains around you. (To be continued......)
