Chapter 343: Arrival
Soon, a wide road was made at the gate of the city, and the group quickly entered the city.
The two carriages drove side by side, taking advantage of the fact that there were no people on the roads in the city, and hurried towards the government.
The guard of the city gate tower also muttered, "There are really a lot of nobles who have come to Suizhou these days, but I didn't expect a temple fair to attract so many people?" ”
Soon, the gate of the county government was opened, and Zhao County's order let people spread the news early, and as soon as they found that a noble person had entered the city, he hurriedly took a small road to inform him.
Zhao County ordered to wear the official mansion, and he had learned through Zhao Wancang's letter that this time his brother was promoted to the deputy envoy of the Inspectorate Office, and Duan Hengzhi was coming with him to deal with the murder during this period of time and the rebellion of Prince Nanxuan.
"Lord Duan, the county government has arrived!" Zhao Wancang got out of the car first, and then went to another carriage to greet him.
He used to be in the Hanlin Academy, and this time he was transferred to an official position, so it was important to have a good relationship with this adult, and I heard that the emperor trusted this person very much.
A pair of pale hands lifted the curtain, revealing a serious face.
"Lord Zhao, you must travel tiringly, and you have worked hard." Duan Hengzhi said without a smile.
His eyes are like torches, and he looks less than thirty years old, but because he doesn't smile on weekdays, he looks a little more mature, quite a bit like a middle-aged man in his thirties.
"Haha, these days, Lord Duan is also working hard, both of us haven't been out of the capital for a long time, compared to others, there is still a lack of exercise!" Zhao Wancang said with a smile.
To be honest, Zhao Wancang really felt that his entire body was about to fall apart, there were bruises in almost every part of his body, and he was older than Duan Hengzhi, so his old bones were really going to fall apart because of the fatigue of the journey.
Duan Hengzhi nodded, still without a smile, Zhao Wancang sneered, from going out to the present, from the road to eating, he could feel that the other party did not like to talk to people, but his questions and words had nowhere to confide.
"The two adults are fine, they have worked hard for the past two days, please come to the mansion with the lower officials to rest for a while." Zhao Wanfeng stepped forward and said.
Seeing Zhao Wanfeng coming out of the mansion to greet him, Zhao Wancang smiled, he hadn't met Zhao Wancang for several years, and he didn't know how much the other party had changed.
Duan Hengzhi pulled out a smile, "Lord Zhao Wanfeng and Lord Zhao Wancang are related?" ”
He saw that there were many similarities in the appearance of the two people, and the names were similar, and they looked like they were named according to one word.
"Yes, Lord Zhao Wancang is the second brother of Xiaguan!" Zhao Wanfeng replied. There is nothing to hide from this relationship, and many officials in the capital know about it.
"I see, but ......," Duan Hengzhi muttered suddenly.
"But what? But what's wrong? Zhao Wanfeng hurriedly asked.
But since it's a relative, shouldn't you avoid suspicion? How could the Holy Lord send Zhao Wancang to Suizhou to assist?
Zhao Wanfeng didn't understand, Zhao Wancang, an idle official who had been in the capital for many years, knew what Duan Hengzhi was thinking?
It stands to reason that Zhao Wanfeng, as his younger brother, is also the county commander of Suizhou, and this time the matter is almost inseparable from him, and in this case, the emperor also deliberately promoted Zhao Wancang to the deputy envoy of the Inspectorate Office, and he took this vacancy, and it seems that he attaches great importance to these two brothers.
Regarding this matter, Duan Hengzhi also thought about it, he was a pragmatic person, and it had nothing to do with him how others became court officials and how they climbed up, just don't disturb him with his errands.
Duan Hengzhi was born in a big family, he is the eldest son and grandson of the family, a scholarly family, and a literati style, which is vividly reflected in his body.
Therefore, they look down on those officials who opportunistically ascend to the high platform.
However, there are always rules in officialdom, no matter what you think in your heart, you still have to treat these people with a normal heart in the end.
The three of them quickly saluted, and just when Zhao County Ling was about to take the two people who came from the capital into the county office to rest, Duan Hengzhi suddenly said something that caught them off guard.
"Zhao County Order, I don't know where the second prince and the prince of Nanxuan are, I want to go over and take a look now."
Zhao Wancang and Zhao Xianling glanced at each other in surprise, but they didn't expect Duan Hengzhi to make such a request after just arriving in Suizhou and driving for a day and a night.
Zhao Wancang just wanted to sigh deeply, but he couldn't show it.
I have long heard that this Duan Hengzhi is a workaholic, and almost none of the officials targeted by him can escape his interrogation, because the other party always takes the trouble to ask you the same questions, and in the end it is sharpened and the person's mental state is suppressed.
"This ......" Zhao County Decree doesn't know what to do?
He learned from the letter that the two of them had rushed from the capital almost yesterday morning after receiving the will of the Holy Lord, and that the journey had not yet passed, and the whole person's spirit was worried.
Zhao Xianling looked at his second brother's depressed appearance, and only felt that this Duan Hengzhi was really worthy of the title of "old scalper" given to him by the people in the capital, and he was so diligent and conscientious.
"Since Lord Duan wants Zhao to go and see it, then I'll go too, and if I know the actual situation earlier, I can have a bottom in my heart." Zhao Wancang continued, and then handed Zhao Xianling a look, asking the other party to do as Duan Hengzhi instructed.
Zhao Xian Ling could only nod, and then asked people to remove the prepared meals first, and then ordered a few people to take their group to the Tang Mansion.
For Duan Hengzhi, it is almost useless to meet the prince of Nanxuan now, and only by connecting the whole thing together can he interrogate better.
After the time of half a pillar of incense, there were a group of officers and soldiers outside the gate of the Tang Mansion, as well as dozens of well-dressed and well-equipped people.
"My God, what's going on in the Tang family?" Seeing this big battle, many nearby people gathered together, looked at the rows of officers and soldiers in front of the Tang Mansion from a distance, and guessed in surprise.
"This is really feng shui in turn, day by day!" I don't know who the Tang family has offended, just released a little news, the Tang Mansion is fine, so many people have come here and surrounded this place again! It's really a toss-up.
"Alas, in my opinion, you can't use women to do business and inherit the family property, you see, in two days, everyone in the Tang Mansion will defect, and it will be difficult at that time." Someone else said it angrily.
"These things have nothing to do with us, let's wait for the turmoil to stop, and then talk about it!" An old man said.
In this way, in front of the Tang Mansion, slowly, there were more and more people around.
