212 Meet the prefect

Zhang Jing nodded with a complicated smile.

At first, he just asked politely.

However, this child from a scholarly family, it stands to reason that even if he is really useless, he should politely express his refusal, right?

Anyway, don't have these hypocritical etiquetteβ€”look, what a sincere child.

Zhang Jing instead had a good impression of Zhu Youzhang.

When Ah Li went to get the dishes and chopsticks, Zhang Jing asked Zhu Youjiao: "Why did Zhu Gongzi come to Huzhou at this time?" But coming with your family to visit relatives? ”

Visit?

Zhu Youzhu looked at the little queen sitting obediently beside him with gentle eyes, and wanted to nod.

Indeed, they are visiting relatives.

But as soon as this comes out, he must be followed by lying, and he is not a person who likes to lie.

"My father asked me to come out and practice." He said.

Zhang Jing was very surprised.

Let the child come to such a dangerous place to experience, this is ...... Is it my own father?

But this is someone else's family matter, even if he thinks it's inappropriate, he can't say much.

just looked at Zhu Youjiao's expression, faintly with a hint of sympathy and pity.

I think it's an unfavored concubine, and it's hard for my mother-in-law, right?

Zhang Meishou ate a meal a little absent-mindedly.

She was thinking about how to ask Zhu Youzhu about the flood so that she wouldn't look out of the ordinary.

In any case, she couldn't tell him directly - I know that His Royal Highness is alive again, so can you tell me the inside story of Huzhou in my previous life?

That's stupid and ridiculous.

But what did he do when he came to Huzhou this time?

Didn't he recall the strangeness of the Huzhou flood riot case in his previous life, and specially came to visit and solve his doubts in person?

Or is it that His Royal Highness the Prince, who is worried about the country and the people, came here to stop this riot?

If that's the case, compared to the previous life, it's really a lot of work.

Still is...... What are the other reasons?

After eating, Zhang Meishou, who was lying on the bed after washing, tossed and turned.

Forget it, and don't think about it, it's not too late to ask a few words when you find an opportunity tomorrow for an interview.

……

It was late at night, and in the Huzhou Mansion, the prefect Wu Huaimin was still in the study to handle official business.

Even with two capable staff gentlemen on his side, he is very busy these days.

"My lord, there is a man who claims to be Zhang Luan, who has come to ask to see your lord." A domestic servant came to pray.

Wu Huaimin flipped through the booklet for a moment, raised his head, and thought that he had heard it wrong.

"What's it called?"

"Back to my lord, he said his name is Zhang Luan." The servant repeated.

"Zhang Luan ......" Wu Huaimin frowned, but asked, "How old is it and how does it look?" ”

The servants did not notice any difference.

If you don't ask more clearly, what if there are people who come in and disturb adults?

Now it is a flood, and countless people want to enter the government to meet the prefect, some of them are dragging their families and crying for food, and there are also those who want the prefect to uphold justice because their things have been robbed.

Hey, these people really regard the adults of his family as the reincarnation of immortals.

"The man was a tall man, and although he was not very well dressed, he was quite thoughtful, and he looked to be in his early thirties at best." The servant replied carefully: "And it's an official language." ”

Wu Huaimin's face was stunned.

"Invite someone in!"

The servants did not dare to hesitate to go.

"What's going on......" Wu Huaimin put down the booklet and didn't have the heart to read it anymore.

The man was quickly brought in.

"The villain Zhang Luan has seen the prefect." A man in a coarse cloth robe with a somewhat messy beard saluted Wu Huaimin.

Wu Huaimin looked at him fixedly for a moment, then got up and left his seat, came to Zhang Luan, and personally helped the person up and said, "It's really Zhang Jiansheng!" A few days ago, the Gui'an County Order came to report, saying that the prisoner was careless in order to save people...... What's going on? ”

The staff on the side also stood up and looked at Zhang Luan with a ghostly gaze.

What the hell?

Didn't you say that the bodies were found?

"This is a long story, the villain cheated to death that day, just to get out."

Wu Huaimin looked at Zhang Luan in surprise, motioned for him to sit down, and asked him to continue.

Zhang Luan cheated himself to death and got out, and how he found out that the Gui'an County Order resold the disaster relief food process.

He also colluded with several county and county officials in private, prevaricated the people with substandard food, and did not hesitate to kill people to kill people in order to block the mouths of the victims.

Wu Huaimin was furious when he heard this.

"There is such a thing!"

He frowned tightly and said, "Could it be that what the official saw and heard when he brought people to inspect the disaster relief matters several times was that they were making a show and watching it with the official?" ”

Zhang Luan: "They are not only insatiable and ruthless, but also very cunning. The adults are benevolent and virtuous, and they have always been sympathetic and trusting to their subordinates, but they are far away in the government, so they will inevitably be deceived by these traitors! ”

Wu Huaimin nodded solemnly.

"It's the officer's negligence. The magistrate will find out as soon as possible, and if it is true, he will bring these corrupt moths to justice! ”

He looked at Zhang Luan and asked, "Since Zhang Jiansheng is so clear about the ins and outs of this matter, I don't know if there is any evidence in his hands?" ”

"When the villain was in charge of the Yamen before, he had secretly prepared an account book of the amount of food that Qi Ming had resold several times for disaster relief. In addition, there are also donations from the hands of local wealthy merchants and squires, and how much of it finally fell into the hands of Qi Ming and others, and I have recorded everything in detailβ€”β€”"

Zhang Luan said: "In addition, the villain got acquainted with an errand officer in the county office, and the villain cheated to death that day, and he was secretly helping. He also promised the villain that he would come forward to testify against Qi Zhixian's crimes in the future! ”

"Okay, the human and physical evidence is there. What he said in the letter of the prince of Dingguo is true, Zhang Jiansheng is not only rich in learning, has a good style, and is even more cautious and shrewd. Wu Huaimin looked at Zhang Luan with admiration.

"Your Excellency has won the prize."

"If these corrupt officials can be eradicated in one fell swoop this time, Zhang Jiansheng should be the first to take the lead." Wu Huaimin looked at Zhang Luan and said, "Supervisor Zhang will first hand over the account book in his hand to the official, and the official will order someone to go and check it." ”

Zhang Luan shook his head when he heard this: "Back to my lord, the villain escaped by cheating in the water that day, and it is really inconvenient to carry such an important thing with him. The books of the ledger had been handed over to the servant for his keeping. ”

"I wonder who the officer's name is. Then the official sent someone to retrieve the account book! ”

"My lord, don't be so troublesome. The villain had already made a deal with the officer, and when the villain met the adult, he would ask someone to deliver the account book to the villain, so that he would not startle the snake. Zhang Luan said.

Wu Huaimin's eyes flashed slightly.

"It's a safe bet. It's just that how can he know that you have seen Hongu? ”

Zhang Luan smiled and said, "Someone will go to deliver a message to him." ”

That is to say, when he entered the government today, someone saw it.

Wu Huaimin also smiled.

"Supervisor Zhang is really thoughtful."

As he spoke, he put away his smile and said, "In this case, the official will wait for a few days, and in these few days, he will send someone to secretly investigate - when the account book is delivered, the official will immediately go to get someone in person!" At that time, Zhang Jiansheng was also invited to accompany his own official. ”

Zhang Luan got up and said, "Everything is sent by the adults." ”

"These days, Prison Zhang escaped life and death, worked day and night, and really suffered."

Wu Huaimin said, so he sent someone to clean up the guest room, asked Zhang Luan to rest first, and ordered someone to prepare a meal and send it to the room.

Zhang Luan thanked him again and again, and then left.

Wu Huaimin watched his back disappear into the night outside the study door, and his eyes gradually darkened.

The door to the study was reclosed.

"This Zhang Luan is not dead, and there is evidence hidden in his hand......" The staff member with a goatee whispered: "It seems that the prefect decided to get rid of him, and it was really prescient." ”

Wu Huaimin's tone was gloomy: "Qi Ming is really not enough to succeed and more than to lose, and he was played around by a little prisoner...... This time he almost ruined a big deal! ”

Fortunately, Zhang Luan took the initiative to throw himself in front of him.

And if this matter is publicized and he has to make a move to Qi Ming and the others in advance, then his next plan will be completely disrupted.

"What are your plans now?"

"Keep him until the books are delivered. For the rest, they are still acting according to the original plan. Wu Huaimin confirmed: "Can the relief food arrive tomorrow?" ”

"Half an hour ago, the food escort team had already entered the city."

"Okay, as soon as the disaster relief food arrives tomorrow, don't delay, immediately transfer it to the counties!"

"Yes."

"When will Chin arrive?" Wu Huaimin asked again.

"It will only take five or six days at the latest."

The team escorting the disaster relief food went first, and the Qin Cha passed through the post stations of various state capitals along the way, and must make a stop, Liu Jian was only five or six days behind the disaster relief team, which was already in a hurry.

"Five or six days...... Enough is enough. Wu Huaimin's eyes were dark.

Liu Jian is extremely perceptive, and he must be prepared with both hands in case of accidents.

In the back room, after everything was cleaned up, Zhang Luan blew out the lights and lay on the bed to meditate.

Thinking about getting down to business, he sighed softly.

Tonight is the Chinese Valentine's Day.

He misses his daughter-in-law.

I don't know what happened to Qin Niang, is she thinking about him?

Ah Xiang didn't know if he brought the news of his accident back to the capital?

If his mother and Qin Niang learned that something had happened to him, they would be extremely sad.

Zhen Zhen Xu will cry endlessly, and then turn the family upside down......

Zhang Luan thought about it, and his eyes were wet unconsciously.

But these are temporary!

When he returns, he will be able to reunite with his family again.

It's just that before that, he must do what is in front of him-

For the people of Huzhou, but also for himself.

Steady, Zhang Luan, you can do it.

He secretly cheered himself up in his heart.

At this moment, there was a sudden soft sound from the window, which seemed to be the sound of the lattice being knocked on by stones.

Immediately after that, there was a second sound, a third sound.

"Who?"

Zhang Luan wiped away his tears, sat up suddenly, and looked in the direction of the window with a defensive expression.
