There was an extra woman at the table, and Zhao Qian and Director Gong sat on both sides of the woman. Wang Quanle sat beside Zhao Qian and listened to the woman's narration with a flat expression.

At this time, his mood had calmed down, and if he came, he would be safe, and Wang Quanle was ready to see what tricks Director Gong was going to come up with. Hearing Director Gong say the word 'master' outside the door before, Wang Quanle only felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart. There is no need to look, Wang Quanle believes that the outside is probably President Lu's wife.

To Wang Quanle's surprise, Zhao Qian heard the voice and showed a surprised expression. Then he stood up and walked out. Wang Quanle hurriedly persuaded: "Team Leader Zhao, Director Gong will come in after a few words." Let's wait for him in the house. ”

Zhao Qian raised his palm and waved, but still walked straight out. Seeing Zhao Qian's serious expression, Wang Quanle felt that his heart was falling all the way. Zhao Qian walked out of the door, and after a while, he heard Zhao Qian shouting, "Senior Mother Lu, it's really you." ”

At that time, Wang Quanle suddenly felt relaxed in his heart, this must have been arranged by Director Gong, otherwise how could Principal Lu arrange for Principal Lu's wife to find here. Wang Quanle knew that Zhao Qian and Director Gong were college classmates, and listening to their new official accents in Fujian, both of them graduated from schools in Fujian. Wang Quanle really didn't know that the two still had this relationship.

After that, Director Gong invited Mrs. Shen into the house, and Wang Quanle thought it was very good. At this point, the words may as well be put on the table. Wang Quanle also wanted to see what kind of killer feature Director Gong was preparing.

What Mrs. Shen said was not exaggerated, it was all what Wang Quanle knew, and it was also the scope of Wang Quanle's preparations. Wang Quanle listened quietly, and even took a sip of tea in the middle.

“…… Xiao Zhao, your Teacher Shen has gone to the countryside. He didn't listen to any persuasion I had. Today has already departed. "Mrs. Shen is also a teacher, she speaks clearly, understands her thinking, and quickly finishes the ins and outs. After that, the latest situation was recounted.

Zhao Qian listened quietly, although he was quite excited in his heart, he didn't speak. Director Gong said, "Master, why did the teacher leave in such a hurry? After speaking, he glanced up at Wang Quanle.

Wang Quanle was not moved at all, although he did not speak for Principal Shen, he did not order Principal Shen to be driven away immediately. And compared to intrigues, Director Gong is not a good thing. If he mentioned Principal Shen to Wang Quanle, he directly explained that Principal Shen was also Zhao Qian's junior high school teacher, and Wang Quanle would not have regarded it as not hearing.

"You also know Teacher Shen's temper. Xiao Zhao, before he left, he said that he asked his nephew to intercede with him, and he let classmate Zhang go, although the school rules stipulate expulsion, but he also thinks that they are all children, give him another chance, and stay on probation. He felt that there was no loss in his heart. However, the Department of Education wanted to suspend classes for Mr. Hong, although he was against it, and the Department of Education asked the school affairs office to come forward, he did not resolutely oppose it, and he already felt uneasy in his heart. This time he was punished, and he felt that he deserved it. But I don't think he's wrong, he doesn't even let go of the children, what is this. After you Teacher Shen left, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I came to Xiao Gong to talk about it. Can you help you Teacher Shen. ”

Director Gong responded: "Master, I will try my best to help you in this matter." ”

Zhao Qian's expression was thoughtful, but he didn't say anything.

Wang Quanle couldn't stand it anymore, what else was there to say when things got to this point. Everything that can be said has been clarified. He simply stood up and said, "You guys talk first, I have something to do and leave first." ”

Soon, Wang Quanle and the others all got up and said goodbye. Leave Director Gong, Zhao Qian, and Mrs. Shen in the private room. The dinner was dispersed, Zhao Qian and Director Gong sent Mrs. Shen home, and the two walked together on the streets of Luoyang. Zhao Qian basically didn't say anything, so he didn't know what to say. After walking for a while, Zhao Qian stopped and said to Director Gong, who turned his head after taking two steps: "I didn't expect that you would also learn to sue." ”

Director Gong smiled bitterly, "Believe it or not, I don't know, I didn't let my wife come here to find me." ”

Zhao Qian shook his head, does it still make sense to say this at this time? Lifting the lid, Zhao Qian saw the charm in the Luoyang officialdom at a glance.

Director Gong saw that Zhao Qian was silent, gave Zhao Qian a cigarette, and made one for himself, and lit a cigarette for the two of them, Director Gong said: "Zhao Qian, I don't support the tax bureau to be so arrogant. Don't get me wrong. So how the prefect of the Wang Mansion rectified the Hong Nanfeng, I didn't say anything. But those people in the Wang Governor's Mansion are so neat about Teacher Shen, I can't stand it. What the hell is it! has the ability to open a Hongmen banquet, smash the cup as a number, and stab Hong Nanfeng to death. It's a good thing to do it to your child. When they saw that the situation was not right, they immediately began to take Teacher Shen into the tank again, driving him away, and pretending that they were not wrong about anything. You shouldn't know that those people also made up a reason, saying that they were to suspend Hong from class to protect Hong. The tax bureau is not a good thing, and the prefect Wang is not a good bird. ”

'Huh! Zhao Qian sneered. He didn't know if he was laughing at the Taxation Bureau or the Wang Governor's Mansion, or if he was laughing at his classmate Director Gong.

After smoking two more puffs of cigarette, Zhao Qian asked Director Gong, "If you do this, aren't you afraid that the Wang Governor's Mansion will retaliate against you?" ”

Director Gong sighed, "I'm going to be transferred next month." If I hadn't confirmed this news, I might not have the courage to speak for Mr. Shen. Now the prefect wants to manage all departments, and it is not easy for us to do this. It's just right to be transferred, and you don't have to be angry with these people. Zhao Qian, you are also a water conservancy, you must know how the local government does things, and when they have achievements, they will break the head, and when it is time to work, these people have become overseers, and they will whip us. Hehe, I don't know if it will be better after changing places, anyway, I'm going to try my best to go back to the Water Conservancy Department. Go back early, and be less birdish early. ”

Zhao Qian was also noncommittal, he dropped the cigarette butt and asked his old classmate, "You pulled me in, there are some things you have to explain to me clearly." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I listened to what my wife said, how many people are threading needles and threads here, and who are those people?"

At two o'clock in the evening, Zhao Qian and his subordinates arrived at the telegraph office. Taking out his special letter of introduction, Zhao Qian entered the special telegram room. Zhao Qian and others did not dare to invent the code telegram, and began to make encrypted telegrams based on the code book. A group of people who had only been trained and were not familiar with the job, and after more than an hour of busy work, the director of the telegraph office appeared at the door. It can be seen that he was temporarily called, and his eyes are a little red.

Zhao Qian asked the secretary to deal with the director, and he continued to check the encrypted telegram that had been written, along with the guards and confidential officers. Now Da Song's encryption point is a four-digit font code. The secret telegram was also based on this principle, with adjustments to the numbers. All encrypted messages are in the beginning and end paragraphs, so you have to be extra careful.

Fortunately, the telegram was not long, and the main content was to order the imperial court to order the removal of two people, namely Ma Qingchang and Ma Qingchang's Secretary Lu. Everything else is on the surface, and Zhao Qian doesn't think there's anything strange after investigation. And these two people have what lies beneath the surface of Luoyang officialdom. As long as these two people can explain clearly, all kinds of bad things can surface.

Asked the confidential officer to supervise the special telegraph station to send a secret message, Zhao Qian yawned loudly. To this day, he feels that he still agrees with the views of the civil officials. However, Wang Quanle can't let go easily, no matter how domineering the army is, at least it will come clearly. What they do can be brought to the table to talk about, and to be scolded on the table. But what the civil servants are doing is not on the table. If it weren't for Director Gong's rebellion, Zhao Qian wouldn't have seen how inhuman these people were. If the army is a group of villains, these people are out-and-out villains. Including his classmates, Director Gong.

A burst of sleepiness came up, and Zhao Qian yawned again. He suddenly thought of something, isn't there anything good in officialdom? Zhao Qian has been at the grassroots level for a long time, although the grassroots level is also very bad, but at least everyone is working. What he is pursuing is also a better life, at most because of his narrow vision, which is a bit short-sighted.

If the official could speak publicly, in fact, this matter would not have made such a disgusting person. Those Zhuang who regarded themselves as barbarians were killed, and the local government demanded that the judicial system should try and convict, and the news was sent to the imperial court, even if Zhao Qian couldn't speak, at least he would agree in his heart. If he has the opportunity to speak, he will be like Director Gong, helping to talk where feasible.

Why did Wang Quanle get such a work? Is there something wrong with this person's brain?

"Team Leader Zhao, the telegram has been sent." The confidential officer appeared at the door.

Zhao Qian wanted to ask if it was ready, but when the words came to his lips, he found that he shouldn't say so. He pondered for a moment and found what he really wanted to say, "When will this telegram be called back?" ”

The confidential officer replied: "At the level of this telegram, if there is an error in the content, it will be called back immediately." If the content is correct, there will be a call back quickly. ”

"Understood. Let's wait a little longer. Zhao Qian responded.

Everyone waited, but the director of the telegraph bureau could not say anything, and retired first. Between half dreaming and half waking up, Zhao Qian finally waited for the call back. He breathed a sigh of relief when he looked at the contents of the telegram that 'the telegram was correct and had been checked'. Confidential telegrams follow the system of military telegrams, and they must reply if they are sure that they are correct, and if they make mistakes, they must reply immediately.

Back at the guest house, Zhao Qian slept until dawn. At this point, he made a decision, and when Ma Qingchang and his secretary were taken away, he also rode back to Kaifeng. On the way here, Zhao Qian didn't have time to look at the hydrology along the way, and he could walk slowly when he went back. Just right to see.

From Kaifeng to Luoyang, you have to go through the Tiger Prison Pass. This is a famous pass in the world, no matter how broken it is, but the terrain that is a husband and a man cannot be opened has not changed. Now that you have a chance to pass by, you should take a good look. With such a mood, Zhao Qian even slept comfortably.

slept until he was hungry, Zhao Qian woke up and called the secretary to go out to eat. When I came back from eating, I had just been doing it for a while when there was a knock on the door. The secretary went to open the door, and soon came back and said to Zhao Qian: "Director Zhao, the prefect of the Wang Mansion asks to see you." ”

"Nope!" Zhao Qian said immediately. After finishing speaking, Zhao Qian watched the secretary turn around, and he called the secretary again, "Wait...... Please come in. ”

Zhao Qian changed his mind, first of all, because the Wang Governor's Mansion should be outside the door. Zhao Qian felt that he was so arrogant that it didn't seem so appropriate, at least not in line with his father's teachings. It's natural to be upset, but you have to be cautious when you lose your temper. Principal Shen also taught Zhao Qian like this back then. It was for the sake of Teacher Shen, Zhao Qian also wanted to hear what prefect Wang would talk nonsense in person, and then scold him in person.

More than ten seconds later, Wang Quanle and Wang Zhifu walked in with the secretary. Zhao Qian was a little surprised, this prefect of the king was not panicked and afraid, and he looked quite calm. The appearance of the prefect of the Wang Mansion is not bad, and when he comes in so generously, he looks a little righteous and awe-inspiring.

Sitting down on both sides, Governor Wang opened his mouth and said, "Team Leader Zhao, what Mrs. Shen said yesterday is true. I'm worried that Team Leader Zhao will investigate by himself and be added to the vinegar, so I won't be able to argue. Let's make it clear today. ”

"Huh." Zhao Qian was angry, he didn't need to add oil and vinegar to disgusting people, so why be afraid of anything. However, after laughing, Zhao Qian couldn't help but look up to Wang Quanle a little. In Zhao Qian's own experience, Wang Quanle is not wrong. As the prefect, he got the director of the water conservancy bureau to oppose the water. To achieve this position, there are many enemies. Zhao Qian really went to investigate, and he would definitely hear more about Wang Quanle. But those things don't necessarily have anything to do with the current events, it's just that the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing it.

Seeing that Zhao Qian was so calm, Wang Quanle continued to ask: "Why didn't Team Leader Zhao ask me why I did this?" ”

"Poof." This time it was the secretary's turn to laugh out loud. Zhao Qian turned his head and glanced at the secretary, then turned his head and asked Wang Quanle, "I don't know why the prefect of Wang did this?" ”

"I have also read some official books, which say that there are indeed innate bad seeds in life, but most people will follow their family situation, what books they read, what education they have received, and all kinds of experiences in adulthood that gradually shape a person's behavior. Man is the sum total of all social relations. After reading it at the time, I thought that the official family said it well, but it didn't seem to say anything. When I went back last night, I tossed and turned, and suddenly I remembered the teachings of the officials. ”

Zhao Qian listened to the confession of Wang Zhifu quietly, and he was already unhappy in his heart. Could it be that the prefect of the king is ready to say, 'I have done something wrong, and I have been forced'. If this is the case, Zhao Qian has heard too much, which will only make Zhao Qian feel more disgusted.

"I, Wang Quanle, asked myself, I am not born a bad seed. Over the years, I have done my best for the imperial court. Otherwise, if a few people are deceived by me, but the Luoyang prefect is not a big or small official, how can I be virtuous, I will definitely not be deceived so many people. The imperial court appointed me as the prefect, and it was not up to one person to decide. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Qian sighed impatiently. He began to regret that he had let Wang Quanle in.

"I don't have any malice or kindness at all when it comes to taking care of children." Governor Wang continued: "I have not met those people, and I am not interested in meeting them. Do what they do, or make them unlucky, it's just that they happen at the right time, and I don't think about them at all. I have no good or evil in this matter. The reason why I do everything is just because I am afraid of losing my official position and throwing myself into a bogey. ”
