Zhang Pengxi would not talk to Zhang Boxing in detail about this matter, but only shook his head with a wry smile, pointed to the table, and then paced away with his hands, stood in front of the window, and looked at the dark night worriedly, silent. () Zhang Bo walked to the table, Fang knew that it was Zhang Pengxi's inscription book for the Cabinet, and after opening it, Fang read out a paragraph in disbelief: "Jia Pu of the grain road supervised the repair of the river gate, and proposed to withhold the money and grain for future warranty and repair, so he fabricated the seal book and reimbursed it." Yi Sigong, the dismissed political envoy, and Yu Zhun, the dismissed governor, did not investigate the subject in detail, except that Yi Sigong had already been convicted in another case, Jia Pu and Yu Zhun should be followed by the law and still be restricted. The repairing official Suzhou Prefecture and Zhang Tingcai and others who failed to repair according to the original estimate should be dismissed from their posts and restricted to repairs. The prefect Chen Pengnian, the two silver deposits, are all obeyed by the governor's order, and there should be no discussion. ”

Zhang Boxing finished reading the content of the book, closed the folded book and put it back in its place, looked at Zhang Pengxi's back, and asked in a daze, "This is the ......" It took a while to hear Zhang Pengxi sigh and say in a deep voice, "If the situation in the two rivers is like this, I hope to be able to keep Chen Pengnian, I am afraid that I may not be able to ...... Hey, don't talk about it, what did you say?"

Zhang Boxing glanced at the folded book on the table, and sighed faintly almost inaudibly: "I'm afraid it should be here." "Huh?" Zhang Boxing approached the window, stood beside Zhang Pengxi, and said in a low voice, "A few days ago, I sent a subordinate to Chen Pengnian to 'invite' Liu Han, the prefect of Jiangning, and Zhang Zengyin, the county of Changshu, to 'invite' me, originally because the two of them repeatedly resisted the constitutional decree of the feudal division, and refused to reply to the reason in detail. I originally thought that I was not afraid of him making things out of nothing and making up a fabrication, but what was his intention? Looking at it now, do you think it got the emperor's approval?"

This latter sentence is even more frustrating Zhang Pengxi's thoughts, he has never seen the excerpt of Kali, and if he thinks about it carefully, he can know for sure, if he has Kangxi's approval, even if Kali is arrogant, he will not be so unscrupulous, if he wants to talk about the source of provocation, he is afraid that he is really coming at himself. Thinking of this, his face turned pale again, in order to hide the color, Zhang Pengxi lowered his head and pushed the window sash a little, "Chen Pengnian is a stubborn person, and he really needs to be strict, as a constitution, you also have the responsibility of discipline and admonishment, how can you indulge? If I had known this, how could I have not thought about it that day, and caused chaos today? ”

"Brother Yunqing is very responsible, I understand. Although Zhang Boxing didn't feel that there was any big mistake in his treatment of Chen Pengnian, Chen Pengnian was indeed a person who was jealous of many tricks, and Zhang Pengxi was a person he respected, so it was reasonable to blame him. Although he refused to defend himself, he was not a person of many words, but there was a slight cold scene between the two, which showed that Zhang Pengxi was in a dilemma, Zhang Boxing couldn't bear to look at it without saying a word, and he was silent for a while, but after all, he couldn't help but say, "Brother Yun Qing's fold goes up, this former Su Fu is afraid that it will be a catastrophe, can Brother Yun Qing be decided?"

"If I think about it properly, I will directly hand it over to Kamin Tuli and lead people to gallop to the capital. ”

"Brother Yunqing, look at the half wall of the Shenjiang River outside the window, can you think of any words that should be appropriate for the occasion?"

Zhang Pengxi felt to himself, raised his eyes to see, the night was as vast as ink, and the river wind was blowing, and the reflection of the river was in the shape of a steep mountain, and he couldn't help but look at Zhang Boxing, turned around with pacing steps, took off his robe, sat down against the table, and said slightly, "You are in this mood, I am not interested in looking for chapters and sentences." ”

"'Jiangtian at a glance', how?" Zhang Boxing turned around with him, and slowly sat down in front of the case, and said sincerely: "The emperor toured the south that day, climbed the Jinshan Mountain to inscribe the amount, and he couldn't write for a long time, Jiangcun is planning to "Jiangtian at a glance" The four words in the palm of his hand, grinding ink forward, slightly revealing his traces, the emperor is as he drafted and wrote......"

"I'm not Gao Jiangcun, so I'm so talented and agile, how can I compare with ordinary people. Hmm? You let me learn from him? You are also a scholar, and you have come out of the two lists, so you can do this kind of thinking......" Zhang Pengxi couldn't help frowning, although he was a civil and Han official, but he had many years of experience in provincial and Xinjiang river affairs, and only Qingwang Confucianism was admired, and he really talked about it in his heart, he was very disdainful of people like Gao Shiqi, and it was difficult to compete with Kali for favor? If there is a shortage of money and food, just for the word 'southern tour', where is the province along the canal that is flawless, how can he not know, just this thought, where can he talk to others......

"But the Sacred Heart is relieved. What does Gao Jiangcun rely on to retreat, Brother Yunqing has to think about it now!"

"Let me think about it. Zhang Pengxi seemed to be thoughtful, but he looked into the distance and didn't say a word.

In June, Zhang Zhai in the capital. Zhang Pengxi was served by a close servant, changed his plain robe, and a small servant came in outside, half-bowed and replied: "Master, the sedan chair is ready." Zhang Pengxi let out a soft "um", turned to the old servant beside him and ordered, "Oh, you go to the study and take down the "Diamond Sutra" of the Tang Dynasty Kaishu Sutra, and carefully put it in a good box. "That scroll of the Dharma was originally cherished by the head of the family, but today it looks like he is going to give it away, and the old servant can't help but glance at the head of the house, and then he retreats.

Zhang Pengxi since that day Jiang Chulou and Zhang Boxing met, he handed over this chapter with determination, and a month after the resumption of the report, he was strictly reprimanded by Kangxi, not only for Zhang Pengxi's previous proposal, but even with Sang E, Ka Mintu also included: "Looking at the case of Zhang Pengxi's trial of Jianzha, all officials are discussed, and Chen Pengnian is out of the matter. Chen Pengnian was a person who had committed a serious crime, and I would have pardoned him for his capital crime and reinstated him as a prefect, so he should be anxious to report it. is in the same city, and the day to see Yi and other embezzlement do not try their best to persuade them, and the cashier of this money and grain is in the hands of Chen Pengnian, and at the command of Jia Pu and Yu Zhun, his public cheating can be known. All official affairs, even if they are friends of teachers and students in the same year, should also be tried in public. In the case tried by Zhang Pengxi, there was a fear of favoritism, and he handed it over to the Jiuqing Strict Investigation Office, and he also heard the case with the bachelor Kamintu, and the governor Kali and the chief Cao Sang. ”

After ten months, the holy decree came to Jiangnan again, only this time, it was a special order for Zhang Pengxi to return to Beijing, and the original case was to be interrogated by Sang'e, Ka Mintu, and Kali, but the will did not state that Zhang Pengxi was to return to Beijing to be investigated, or to be transferred to another post, and Jiuqing's discussion was even more fruitless.

After returning to Beijing, Kangxi reported that he had mentioned the matter of Kali's impeachment, and said that Kali had said that Zhang Boxing's conduct was not good, and that he had only paid one or two taels for his appointment in Hangzhou, so as to sell his reputation and reputation; Chen Pengnian instigated Zhang Boxing to provoke and retaliate against Liu Han, Zhang Zengyin, and others; and even worse, he re-mentioned the silver that should have been compensated in the impeachment case of the river workers that year, and after the decree was exempted from pursuit, he privately retained the silver taels levied by Liu Yanji of Huaixu Dao against the officials. When he played it right, although Kangxi was kind and pleasant, he spoke eloquently, and he did not fabricate it according to the twist of Kali to ask for the guilt, but kneeling on the spot really made his heart tremble.

When I came out of the palace, I recalled that Kangxi was only playing for himself, but he had already written down the situation of Liangjiang in detail, and now what else did he want to play? Could it be that he really believed in the nonsense of Kali, and he couldn't make a compromise on his own defense? As soon as he thought about this, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and as a last resort, he had to be an uninvited guest and ask for advice from the one who was chanting Buddha in the wishful room.
