Chapter 64: Wronged
"The political envoy Lord Wang is here, get out of the way quickly, don't get in the way!"
Lord Wang's sedan chair traveled to the prefect's yamen, and the accompanying messengers shouted, and the officials of the two prefectures immediately began to drive people out, squeezing out a way, and then, Wang Mingchuan got off the sedan chair and passed through the instrument gate in a good time.
A passing hall actually alarmed the envoy, and immediately caused more discussion, although many people were driven away by the servants, crowded in the crowd like sardines in cans, and their faces flushed, but they could not help but perk up.
"The political envoy is going to ask, but I don't know if Lord Wang is biased towards the prefect or Xu Qian."
"Hmph, you don't know this, this Xu Qian claims to be fighting tigers on the mountain, you don't have to forget, some time ago, the political envoy of Ribu scolded the poems of fighting tigers on the mountain, and said that if you dare to mess around, you will be punished. Now everyone knows that Xu Qian is going up the mountain to fight tigers, and the political envoy Wang has a very bad impression of him, how can he be biased towards Xu Qian? Moreover, in this world, officials and officials protect each other, it is said that the prefect has always been valued by Lord Wang, this time...... I'm afraid that Xu Qian is going to be unlucky. ”
"Yes, the prefect may be afraid of Zhishi's Master Xie, but Lord Wang may not be afraid, it is said that his background in the court is unfathomable, and he has a great relationship with the East Palace, after this year, I am afraid that he will enter the court, and at worst he will be a waiter, Master Xie has been a scholar for more than ten years, and he has already been left with tea, and Lord Wang may not be afraid of him."
"In this way, Xu Qian deserves to be unlucky, it is not wrong for him to have talent to learn, but he is so domineering, he dares to go against his parents in the house, and now he is afraid that he will capsize in the gutter."
"Don't make a noise!" When the servants saw that some people were rebellious, they shouted loudly, and made threatening words with iron rulers in their hands, and the chaotic voices were suppressed.
At this time, Governor Yuan and Cangxue naturally couldn't sit still, and when they heard that someone outside had reported the official name of Lord Wang, they hurriedly dressed up and came out to greet them.
"Xiaguan has seen my lord."
"No need to be polite." Wang Mingchuan's face was gentle, he pressed his hand, and then said, "Let's go to the hall and talk." ”
The dignified three-grade feudal officials have their own majestic bearing, and the Yuan Governor's Mansion is invincible in the hall, like the center of the world, but in front of Lord Wang, it is immediately dim.
Cangxue Zheng couldn't help but be a little frightened in his heart, originally Xu Qian turned the tables in an instant, he was overjoyed in his heart, but now Lord Wang suddenly came, and this time the matter became confusing. He thought of all kinds of rumors in the market, and thought that Lord Wang and Governor Yuan had always had a close relationship, and he couldn't help frowning.
Wang Mingchuan strode to the main hall, and after a pause, Yuan Zhifu saw this and hurriedly said, "Please take a seat." ”
Wang Mingchuan raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "It's inappropriate to dominate the guests." ”
Governor Yuan sneered and said: "Where is this, the lord deigns to come, how dare the lower officials be presumptuous." ”
Wang Mingchuan nodded at this time, and sat down in the main hall unceremoniously, although he said that he was noisy, but now he was sitting high under the mirror, and his face was full of course.
Governor Yuan asked someone to move a small stool and sat on the left side of Wang Mingchuan. Cang Xuezheng didn't say anything, and obediently moved his position to sit on the right side.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Mingchuan's gaze finally fell on Xu Qian's body, he stroked his beard, and said, "You are the one who went up the mountain to fight the tiger in "Linjiang Immortal"?" ”
Xu Qian had long heard that the political envoy had asked him for trouble, and it had caused a scolding war, but he was not nervous at all, and seemed to have vaguely guessed something, so he saluted and said: "Student Xu Qian, going up the mountain to fight tigers is a student's nickname." ”
Wang Mingchuan nodded and said, "Your poetry ......"
He paused here deliberately, and everyone's hearts were in their throats.
Wang Mingchuan continued: "Your poems are too depressing, and the official thinks it's not good. ”
When Governor Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, looking at this, Lord Wang was here to trouble Xu Qian.
Xu Qian smiled slightly and said: "The way of poetry has its own opinions, students have students' minds, adults have adults' minds, good or not, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach a conclusion." ”
His words were a bit contradictory, but he was thinking in his heart: "What is the purpose of the appearance of this surname Wang?" I heard that he was from the East Palace, and he had a lot to do with a certain adult in the Zhan Mansion, so he came suddenly, and he must have an intention. ”
Wang Mingchuan smiled slightly, noncommittal, and then said: "Well, what you said is also reasonable, there is no first martial arts and no second, who can say this kind of thing?" Yes, you were brought to the prefect's yamen, but for the sake of the government's fraud? ”
Xu Qian said: "Exactly." ”
Wang Mingchuan said slowly: "Is there any evidence for the investigation of fraud in the government test?" ”
Xu Qian was about to answer, but Yuan Zhifu hurriedly replied: "If you go back to your lordship, there is no conclusion yet. ”
This Yuan Governor originally wanted to turn the war into a jade silk, who knew that Xu Qian would not die, but now that the political envoy is here, he simply bites the case and the case is not clear, and see if there is anything to do.
Wang Mingchuan reprimanded: "This official didn't ask you. ”
Governor Yuan was stunned, bored, and a little uneasy in his heart.
Wang Mingchuan smiled and said to Xu Qian: "This official is asking about Xu Qian, Xu Qian, you answer honestly, do you really try to cheat in the house?" ”
Xu Qian said: "Students don't dare. ”
Yuan Zhifu couldn't help but say: "My lord, this Xu Qian ......"
Syllable......
The shocking wood on the case was picked up by Wang Mingchuan and smashed on the table, making a clean and crisp sound.
Wang Mingchuan's face turned pale, and he interrupted Yuan Zhifu's words.
He glanced at the prefect of Yuan calmly and said, "Lord Yuan, as a dignified prefect, are you blind and deaf?" Xu Qian is a genius in Hangzhou, whose literary name is Jiangnan, such a person still needs to cheat? After he was loyal and good, he was taught by Xie Ge Lao, and he still needed to take such a big risk to cheat in the government exam? Are you also deaf and blind as an official? ”
After a lot of drinking, Yuan Zhifu's soul was frightened, his face was bloodless, and he hurriedly said: "Go down...... The lower officials know that they are wrong......"
Wang Mingchuan said coldly: "The cause and effect of this matter, the old man has already known that the student Xu Qian is knowledgeable, and the so-called fraud investigation has no evidence, this is someone slandering and slandering behind his back, if there is any more words about Xu Qian's fraud, this official will not be spared." As for those who sued Xu Qian, the official heard that many scholars were also involved, and the literati were so light, if they were not severely punished, how could they set an example? Whoever comes, all those who are falsely accused, all the leaders are stripped of their meritorious and famous academic records, and the followers are in the yoke for three days......"
This time there was an uproar again.
Zhang Shulun was dumbfounded, trembling with fright, he is the leader, once he loses his fame, his life will be over.
As for the others, their faces were also bloodless, and one of them hurriedly bowed down and said: "The student is just being deceived by others, please be gracious, student...... Student...... Yes, this is all instigated and instigated by Zhang Shulun and Yuan Jian, the young son of the prefect, right...... It's them...... It was they who said that the prefect would make decisions for us, and as long as we went to the prefect's yamen to make trouble, we would ...... Convenient...... Students are dying, please ...... adults"
At this point, Wang Mingchuan smiled slightly, but a pair of eyes looked at Yuan Zhifu deeply.
Yuan Zhifu was frightened, things had exceeded his expectations, he had a very good personal relationship with Wang Mingchuan, and he usually gave this political envoy a lot of filial piety, and he didn't think that this Wang Mingchuan would clean him up......
Governor Yuan hurriedly shouted at the man: "Nonsense, don't roar the court, if you dare to talk nonsense, you will be beaten out." Then he preached to Wang Ming: "Lord Wang, this scholar is talking nonsense, and he is really dead. Xiaguan ......"
Wang Mingchuan sneered, leaned sideways, as if he felt insulted even by sitting closer to the Yuan prefect's mansion, and said solemnly: "You are the prefect, this official can't govern you, but your dignified parents are secretly framing Zhongliang, you wait to listen to the impeachment of the imperial envoy, this official will be relieved by the meeting, please give you a punishment from the imperial court!" ”
"I ...... I...... My lord...... Xiaguan ...... "Yuan Zhifu only felt that the world was spinning, and the whole person had no strength, and said, "My lord...... The lower officials were wronged ......"
Wang Mingchuan remained motionless and indifferent.
