Chapter Seventy-Three: Murder with a Knife

It's only been a day, and everyone nearby knows that there is a group of rugged men who can help the old woman cross the road in Fanggu City. After helping the old woman www.biquge.info he began to beat people on the street, and beat several others. Legend has it that the person who was beaten that day went to Fanggu Mansion to complain, and Fanggu Mansion also sent people to Anzheng's residence, but they didn't wait for people back. Later, I heard that An Zheng went to the military department, and then went to the martial arts academy.

The people of Fanggu Mansion waited for a full hour and did not come back, so they had to go back and let people tell An Zheng to go to the mansion.

An Zheng had to go, though he didn't like that kind of place very much.

It is said that the Beijing official has a big shelf, which is not false at all. And who can become a magistrate in this part of the capital? Of course, the person who knows how to be an official is the best.

In the capital, there are six officials, and four- and five-grade officials wearing red official uniforms can casually meet a few on the street. If you can't navigate these yamen, you won't be able to do the official of the prefect of Fanggu Mansion. Everything you do must be thoughtful and left and right. Therefore, the prefect of Fanggu Mansion has always been not to be underestimated, because people who sit in this official position are often promoted quickly. It can't be said that he has become an important minister in a critical position in the court.

However, Xu Zhengsheng, the current governor of Fanggu Mansion, was more unlucky, because he caught up with a bad period.

Since the death of King Yan and the queen mother took charge of the court, almost all the rights have been occupied by the Su family, and it is impossible to make any place for Xu Zhengsheng in the court. So no matter how good he is, there is almost no possibility of promotion. Originally, when he had just taken office as the prefect of Fanggu Mansion, Xu Zhengsheng was full of spirits. Because he knows very well that as long as he does a good job, he will soon be transferred to a higher position.

The right prime minister, Zhuge Yan, was originally transferred from the position of the prefect of Fanggu Mansion, and at the most glorious time, his protΓ©gΓ©s were all over the government and the opposition. However, when Empress Dowager Su took power, Zhuge Yan's power was gradually hollowed out. The power of the imperial court was gradually transferred to the hands of Su Mao, the prime minister of the left. Empress Dowager Su's two younger brothers, Su Mao is the first of the Wenchens. It is rumored that her other younger brother Su Zong will soon be appointed as a general, and the power is still above the confidant of the general. The key is that these two younger brothers are not close yet, her own brother is now King Zhao.

Who is Fang Zhiji? That is a big man who was seriously invited by the former king himself, and that is called worshipping the general. And who is Su Zong? It is said that he does not know how to lead troops at all.

So Xu Zhengsheng was very irritable, and always felt that he should think of some way to transfer out of this annoying Fanggu Mansion. These days, he has made a lot of money, and the officials have made a lot of money, but there is no news at all.

Now he is worried about Gou Zhanli's affairs, and he can't wait to break the corpse of An Zheng that came out of nowhere.

But he couldn't, because until now he hadn't figured out what the hell was going on with this struggle and why it had attracted so much attention from the Ministry of War. During the war, the military department was the heaviest, so Xu Zhengsheng would never dare to take the risk of favoring Gou Zhanli easily. Besides, Gou Zhanli is still being detained in the military department, and he sent people twice but failed to get people back. Early this morning, I heard that An Zheng led someone to raze the Dafang Agency, and no one was left, and all of them were blown away.

If An Zheng didn't really have a very hard backstage, how could a young man who had just come from other places have such courage?

So when people from outside came in and said that An Zheng had arrived, Xu Zhengsheng greeted the young man in person even if he didn't want to see this young man anymore.

The light in the living room was a little dim, so when Xu Zhengsheng saw An Zheng, he looked at it carefully for a while. He heard that An Zheng was a teenager, but he didn't expect to be so young. Judging from the physiognomy, he is sixteen or seventeen years old. But An Zheng looked a little older, and was actually only fifteen years old.

"I've seen adults. ”

An Zheng leaned over and saluted.

He has an official position, although it is not within the regular establishment of the military, but he is also a positive six-grade. When the sixth-grade official sees the fifth-grade official, there is no need to make a big salute.

"Sure enough, it's a young talent. ”

Xu Zhengsheng showed a sincere smile, took two quick steps and held An Zheng's arm with both hands: "There is no need to be so polite, please come just to understand the circumstances of the case at that time." ”

An Zheng said: "Your Excellency is the parent official of the people of Fanggu City, and he must be busy with official business, and he can also find time to meet the lowly position in person, and the lowly position is really flattered." ”

Xu Zhengsheng's impression of An Zheng changed greatly, he thought that An Zheng was a high-flying and domineering person who didn't know the importance of it, but after meeting An Zheng was so polite, it made him feel more comfortable.

"Alas, I'm in this position, and there are indeed more things, so it doesn't hurt to teach my subordinates...... There is such a scum as Gou Zhanli, who has lost his conscience, and I can't escape the blame. Fortunately, you are aware of this person's insidiousness, otherwise I don't know how many people have been killed. ”

An Zheng sighed: "Knowing people and faces but not hearts, no one would have thought that such a thing would happen." As soon as I arrived in the capital, I caused trouble to my lords, and I really didn't want to go to my humble position. ”

Xu Zhengsheng hurriedly said: "Where is it, the same dynasty is an official, why be so polite." ”

He pulled An Zheng to sit down, and An Zheng turned around and took a gift box from the big man who followed him and put it on the table: "This is some local products brought from the south by the lowly position, which is not a precious thing, but it is rare in the capital." ”

Xu Zhengsheng's smile became brighter: "Why be so polite, since you and I have met, we will naturally have to move around more in the future, wouldn't it seem raw to be polite like this?"

An argued: "The lesson of the adults is that the humble position will not dare to make a mistake next time." ”

Xu Zhengsheng laughed: "Okay, since it's just some local products, I'll accept it." I have already arranged for someone to arrange a banquet in Deyue Building, and you and I will go with you in a while. I'll introduce you to a few colleagues, and you will get acquainted with each other in the future, so you can take care of anything. ”

Of course, An Zheng would not have fallen out with the prefect of Fang Gu Mansion so early, he wanted to make people unclear about his details, and just used this guy.

"You see, the humble post is in a hurry, and I just rushed to the government office when I came back from the military academy of the military department, and I didn't even change a piece of clothes. Otherwise, go back and change your clothes first, and then wait for your lord in Deyue Tower?"

Xu Zhengsheng smiled: "It's okay, in that case, then you go back first, and we'll meet later." ”

An Zheng got up to say goodbye, and couldn't help but smile when he went out.

It's just a gift, and this guy immediately doesn't talk about the matter. In fact, An Zheng knew very well that he had abolished Gou Zhanli, and Xu Zhengsheng must have felt uncomfortable. can catch heads, if it is not for a close relationship with Xu Zhengsheng, it would be strange. But Xu Zhengsheng is not a waste idiot, he knows the severity. An Zheng gave him a step down, and of course he had to go down the step.

In fact, from entering the door to going out, An Zheng and Xu Zhengsheng didn't even exceed thirty sentences. But this process is very important.

After An Zheng left, Xu Zhengsheng opened the gift box brought by An Zheng and found that it was an East Pearl and an account book.

Dongzhu is the size of a child's fist, and this thing can't be bought even if it is not worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. An Zheng was so generous and generous, which made Xu Zhengsheng very satisfied. When he opened the ledger, his face changed again, because the ledger belonged to the generous agency. Inside it was clearly written down how much money he had taken from Dafangjie, when, how many times, and how much each time, clearly.

"Gou Zhanli, you bastard, bastard!"

Xu Zhengsheng slapped on the table with a snap, and walked around the room a few times quickly.

The door creaked open from the outside, and Liu, the master of the mansion, came in from outside, and immediately closed the door when he saw Xu Zhengsheng's appearance: "What's going on?"

Xu Zhengsheng pointed to the account book on the table, Liu Sui quickly walked over to pick it up and looked at it, and then his face changed. Seeing Na Dongzhu again, he immediately understood what was going on: "This is sent by the person sent by An Zheng?"

Xu Zhengsheng said: "He personally sent it." ”

Liu Sui let out a sigh: "That's okay, it shows that this young man knows the importance and knows how to behave in the world." He personally sent this account book to you, plus a Dongzhu, and his attitude was already very clear, he didn't want to have any irreconcilable contradictions with you. So this matter, when it comes to Gou Zhanli, let's stop. ”

Xu Zhengsheng said: "I also think about it, this An Zheng personally came to the door, he respects me a lot, and he also has a famous demeanor in speech and demeanor, and he is expected to have an extraordinary background." If he hands over the ledger to the Ministry of War, I'm afraid it will be a disaster for me. Empress Dowager Su was afraid that there were not many of her subordinates who were officials, and when she saw the stitches, she couldn't wait to arrange a position for her own people. If you bring me down, there will be someone from the Queen Mother as the prefect immediately. ”

"So, this person can be delivered. ”

Liu Suidao: "An Zheng seems to have an attitude that does not match his age, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible at this age without the cultivation of the big family." So the subordinates still feel that they should have more contact with this person, at least to be friendly. ”

Xu Zhengsheng nodded: "You go and send someone to Deyue Tower to change the table." I booked an ordinary banquet before, and asked people to tell the people in Deyue Lou to change it to the best banquet. ”

Liu Sui leaned over: "My subordinates will arrange it." ”

He took two steps, and then turned around: "Gou Zhanli, this person, can't stay...... Why don't you go to the military headquarters and send in some silver, so that he dies violently in a prison cell?"

Xu Zhengsheng waved his hand: "You go and arrange it, this ungrateful thing inside and out, without me taking care of him, can he have today? ”

Liu Sui nodded: "Okay, then the subordinates will arrange it as soon as possible." ”

On the street, An Zheng and Du Slender walked side by side.

"An Zheng, why did you give that rotten thing such a big Dongzhu? That guy must be a corrupt official, otherwise how could he raise a subordinate like Gou Zhanli. ”

Du asked thinly.

An Zheng smiled and asked, "Should such a corrupt official die?"

"Damn it!"

"But we can't kill him yet, because killing him would implicate ourselves. You and I regard Xu Zhengsheng as an enemy, but because of that Dongzhu and an account book, Xu Zhengsheng no longer regards us as enemies. ”

An Zheng said: "Let the enemy treat us as friends, so I just used a Dongzhu." People are divided into groups and things are gathered by like, and most of the people Xu Zhengsheng comes into contact with are also corrupt officials like him. And the people in the military department are all real men. In the future, Xu Zhengsheng will ventilate us, and we can learn more about the officialdom in Fanggu City. What a good undercover agent, the value of this Dongzhu send. ”

Du Shou asked thinly: "Isn't there still an account book, that's Xu Zhengsheng's old life." ”

"Fake. ”

An Zheng smiled: "The account book was written by a Qu madman overnight. ”

"My God, you're not afraid of being seen by him in the fake ledger!"

"Do you think Xu Zhengsheng will remember how much silver he took from Dafang Agency on which day and when?"

Du was stunned for a moment, and then patted An Zheng's shoulder: "I-...... Old fox!"

An Zheng smiled: "Be polite, people like Gou Zhanli don't die, and heaven doesn't tolerate it." Let Xu Zhengsheng kill Gou Zhanli, it's cleaner than we do it ourselves. ”

Du asked thinly, "Why didn't I see that you were so insidious before." ”

An Zheng smiled: "Oh, how can this kind of thing be casually let you see it, the last time you went to the toilet pit and someone suddenly threw a stone, I won't talk nonsense." ”

Du Thin: "Well, that's right...... ! you're the one who threw the stone!"
