Chapter 19: Believe it or not

Liang Rang pinched the prince's edict written by Wang Yangming, frowned, and said, "What about Commander Chu and Wang Shilang?

Wang Buregret said with a dry smile: "Lord Wang said that there is something to discuss with Lord Chu, and he asked me to send it over first, saying that they will arrive later." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Liang Rang narrowed his eyes, and the second-in-command and third-in-command discussed things privately but avoided themselves, what does this mean? Do you want to empty yourself? After thinking about it, Wang Buregret in front of him shook his head, and his heart was a little irritable.

Chu Nan and Wang Defu walked in muttering, the two of them were still complaining to each other about sending the wrong letter, and now that things are in a big deal, I don't know what kind of treatment they will be treated after they go back.

Liang Rang showed his smile again, and smiled at the two who were still entangled: "What's the matter? What are you arguing about?"

Wang Defu kicked Chu Nan, who was still chattering, and said in a low voice: "Don't complain, let's talk about it later!" and turned his head to Liang Rang and smiled: "My lord, it's some private matter between me and Commander Chu." By the way, didn't Lord Wang say that news came from the capital? What did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince say?"

Liang Rang frowned, feeling more and more that the two were hiding something from him, and said with a forced smile: "This is His Royal Highness's edict, Lord Wang can take a look at it yourself." ”

Wang Defu took it, read it carefully, handed it to Chu Nan casually, and said: "Those few account books have been carefully studied by the officials, and they are ironclad evidence, and those who can't be promoted are not allowed to admit it." Since His Highness has given your Excellency the right to arbitrarily assert yourself, we can just let go of our hands and feet to investigate it strictly. ”

Chu Nan glanced at Liang Rang quietly, and found that his brows were slightly furrowed, obviously not very much agreeing with Wang Defu's opinion, he looked down at the edict, and sighed in his heart, I am afraid that Liang Yushi and Wang Defu are different from what they are concerned about.

Sure enough, Liang Rang said euphemistically: "Lord Wang, Your Highness also asks us to take into account the overall situation and pay attention to the impact, and we can't be too tough, otherwise it will be a big crime to cause local turmoil." ”

Chu Nan saw what Wang Defu had to say, so he stepped forward and said: "I don't think it's better to be like this, let's continue to check first, grasp the small and zoom in, you can't go back to Beijing empty-handed, then you will be poked in the backbone." ”

Wang Defu was helpless, and nodded reluctantly: "It's okay to do this now, I can't just leave it moldy after waiting for more than a dozen days and nights to get the evidence." ”

Although Liang Rang also agreed with this method, the tacit understanding inadvertently revealed by Chu Nan and Wang Defu still made Liang Rang a little uncomfortable, and retreated to the back hall under the pretext that he was unwell.

..........................................................................................

Liang Rang is different from Chu Nan and Wang Defu, he was originally able to directly hand over the fold to the capital, but now he has been given the right to arbitrariness, and the right is naturally great, but if something goes wrong in the future, he will be the first to be pulled out as a scapegoat, and he can't be careless, not to mention, the capital knows the name of his Zhang family's son-in-law, even if he can't be clearly partial, it is unknown what he said in his heart.

Wang Defu listened to Chu Nan's explanation, and said with a smile: "How can the old man not see through these things, but my father told me since I was a child that being an official is like making tofu, and those that are shriveled and broken must be detected, otherwise the taste of the tofu made will not be right." ”

Chu Nan said with a smile: "It turns out that this is how the name Wang Tofu came from, although Ling Zun's words are simple and unpretentious, they are also meaningful. ”

Wang Defu said with a smile: "The old man has been an official all his life, and he has seen the age of half a year in the earth, if he still cares too much, won't it be a pity to die? Since the old man has decided to change his name to Wang Tofu, he is determined to make a piece of innocent tofu!"

Chu Nan rolled his eyes and teased: "I don't know if your little fairy likes tofu, and whether she will chop you up and eat it when she goes back!"

Wang Defu's old face turned red, and he said calmly: "Isn't it just to be soft? The old man has been letting her all his life, so what if he lets her go again?"

Chu Nan didn't expect Wang Defu to really see it like this, and said helplessly: "Okay, don't talk about the little fairy, let's talk about this case, I met a person a few days ago, let me ............"

At this time, Wang Buregret came into the door and said with a smile: "Does it make your spring heart flutter?"

Chu Nan pursed his lips and muttered, "It's a man, I saw it in Lingyin Temple, and I'm still very impressed." ”

Wang Buregret pretended to be stunned and said, "Could it be ............? Lord Chu is really "not taboo about meat"?"

Chu Nan pretended not to hear Wang Buregret's joke, and asked: "I heard that the East China Sea is full of pirates, I don't know what are the famous ones in the waters near Hangzhou after all?"

Wang Buregret knew that Chu Nan was changing the topic, but he still explained honestly: "Hangzhou is the most prosperous port except for Yingzhou, and there are really a lot of pirates, but there is no group that dominates one side. ”

Wang Buregret remembered something, and said with a smile: "This group of pirates is very strange, they are not very famous, they have not done many ruthless things, and they even have a good reputation near Hangzhou. ”

Wang Defu frowned and said, "Pirates still have a good reputation?

Wang Buregret smiled and explained: "This group of pirates is different from other murderous people who rob ships and kill people and goods, they rarely attack the sea ships that go out of Hangzhou, and even sometimes take action against other pirates, escort the sea ships to sea, of course, they will charge a high fee, and they have developed by this alternative method in the past few years." ”

Chu Nan smiled and asked, "How is the relationship with the Zhang family?"

Wang Buregret put away his smile and said softly: "Although there are many pirates nearby, unless they are poor and crazy, they will not rob the Zhang family's sea ships, of course, they have a good relationship with the Zhang family." ”

Chu Nan asked casually, "Oh, I don't know who the head of this group of pirates is?"

Wang Buregret was a little strange why Chu Nan was suddenly interested in this, and replied: "When the family is called Su Butcher, it is not that he kills people like hemp, but because he looks vicious and looks like a butcher. ”

Chu Nan muttered, "Su Tu? This name is really familiar." ”

Wang Buregret didn't hear Nan's words clearly, waved his hand and said: "What the lower officials know is hearsay, I heard that the pirates around here have already been sorted out by Zhang Mingjing, and now the specific situation is unknown." ”

Chu Nan said strangely: "He is only a county commander of Qinghe, why should he sort out countless pirates." Just rely on the county government officials who can only fake the tiger?"

Wang Buregret hesitated for a moment, lowered his voice and said: "The lower official heard that Zhang Mingjing was suave, and the Zhenjiang General Army almost recruited him as a son-in-law, so it is still possible to take care of him under the guise of taking care of it." ”

Chu Nan suddenly realized and said with a smile: "This is still a wonderful person!, I like it very much!"

Wang Buregret pretended not to stand firm, and staggered: "My lord, you ...... You............ , Zhang Mingjing is a man!"

Chu Nan pursed his lips, indifferent to Wang Buregret's slander that he did not have the slightest offensive power.

At this time, the guard outside the door sent a letter and said, "Lord Chu, someone sent a letter, saying that an old man invited Lord Chu to travel. ”

Wang Buregret saw Chu Nan open a new one, and said with a smile: "Could it be that Miss Jiang invited Lord Chu to go to the lake again?"

Chu Nan opened the new one, only to see that it was written: "Lingyin Temple and Jun met for the first time, if the old friends reunited, but in a hurry, there was no chance to talk deeply." Today, I specially invite you to visit the Canglang Pavilion in the east of the city, drink and talk, enjoy the beautiful scenery together, and become confidants............ Signed Zhang Panjun. ”

The king swallowed without regret and hesitated: "This ............ This is............ That man from Lingyin Temple?"

Chu Nan crumpled the letter with an expressionless face, gritted his teeth and said: "Although he is a man, although this letter is strange and ambiguous, but if I say that I really don't know him and have nothing to do with him, do you believe it or not?"
