A few days later.

In the courtyard of Jianbei Wutong Mansion and the prefect Lu Jin'an's mansion, a stage was set up, and the stage was singing the drama of Guan Yu's defeat of Maicheng during the Three Kingdoms.

Lu Jinan sat in the middle surrounded by a group of relatives and friends, with tears in his eyes and lamenting.

Lu Jin'an is seven in his Chinese New Year's Eve, and he was born as a fellow jinshi, and he also served as a county commander, so he was promoted to the prefect after mixing his resume.

Right now.

Suddenly, someone came to report, "Master, Liu Tongzhi has an urgent matter to report." ”

The subordinates seemed very worried, they were all people who had been in the house for many years, and he knew very well when he couldn't disturb his master.

Lu Jin'an wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, glanced at the next person lightly, and said, "Let him come in." ”

Tongzhi Liu Jing also knew that their prefect loved to watch dramas, but today's incident involved Qingxi, and Zhou Boqian's death not only involved their layout in Qingxi, but even the eyes of the imperial court were now staring at Qingxi.

"What?"

Liu Jing looked at the people around him, and then handed over the official letter and a letter handed over by Li Zhifeng to Lu Jin'an.

Lu Jin'an took it and looked at it, and stretched out his hand to ask the maid next to him for tea.

As a result, the maid accidentally knocked over a bowl of hot tea, scalding Lu Jin'an's hand, and the water splashed wet the letter in her hand.

The people sitting around were shocked when they saw this, and they all stood up almost at the same time.

The maid was terrified, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg for mercy, "The master spares his life, the master spares his life." ”

Lu Jinan shook off the letter in his hand, his expression was still gentle, "It's okay, it's okay, everyone please sit down." ”

After saying this, he looked at the maid and said, "A cup of tea is not stable, how to do things in the future, I will not punish you, go out and find another job." ”

"Thank you, Master!" The maid immediately burst into tears of gratitude.

However, she didn't know that after she went out, Lu Jin'an, who returned to the study, coldly ordered: "Arrange a few people to pretend to be a horse thief and kill the woman." ”

The butler was stunned for only a moment, and then responded.

Subsequently.

Tongzhi Liu Jing walked in.

Lu Jin'an looked at him and said sadly: "Qingxi has died a county, and the imperial court is going to send Yushi to come soon, what do you have in mind?" ”

Liu Jing was slightly chubby, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, although Zhou Boqian died at the hands of mountain bandits, the reason for this is still that Chen Zishi. ”

Hear the words.

Lu Jin'an's face also became gloomy, "This Chen Zishi is not simple, it has been less than two months since he took office, and he actually killed Zhou Boqian, who has been running Qingxi for more than ten years,"

"He has such ability, and he has come to Wanchun to help him from behind,"

Liu Jing lowered his eyebrows and said in a cold voice: "My lord, in my opinion, this Qingxi County is vacant, and Wanchun must have some ideas, we must not let them succeed, in addition, since the imperial court wants to send the imperial historian over, you might as well use the hand of this imperial historian to eradicate Chen Zishi." ”

Lu Jinan didn't answer immediately, and after thinking for a while, he said slowly: "Li Zhifeng means to let the chief bookkeeper Huang An assist the county Cheng, although the state Boqian is not related to us, but the recent movement of the imperial court has become more and more huge,"

"Yushi went south, called to investigate the rule of officials, in fact, to observe the reaction of the king of Dingchuan nearby, Qingxi as an important passage to guard the sword to the north and south, it is very important, Li Zhifeng is also half of my protégé, and it is not bad to support him to deal with Chen Zi."

"Xia Guan thinks it's feasible."

……

Clear stream, there is rain.

"Untouchables, a bunch of untouchables!"

Li Zhifeng returned to the county government angrily, and just now, the distribution of money and food to the people of the county had been completed.

Many people gathered to Chen Feng's mansion to give gifts and thank you, but he, Li Zhifeng, was empty-handed, like a passerby.

"Brother Zhifeng, why are you so angry?" Huang Anfu walked towards him.

Li Zhifeng brushed his sleeves and said: "Forget it, don't mention it." ”

"If you don't say it, I also know that it has something to do with Chen Zishi," Huang Anfu smiled.

"Now that you know, what are you laughing at?" Li Zhifeng was already in a very bad mood, and when he saw Huang Anfu's appearance, he was even more angry.

"Brother Zhifeng, don't worry, what is this?" Huang Anfu took out the official letter issued from the prefect's yamen.

Li Zhifeng was overjoyed and immediately returned to the study with Huang Anfu.

"Brother Anfu, congratulations to Gao Sheng," although the official appointment of the imperial court has not yet come down, Lu Jinan has already made a promise, and this matter is already doomed.

After the two exchanged business, Li Zhifeng's nerves gradually became nervous, put down the official document in his hand, and said sadly: "Patrol the imperial history Gao Zhan Gao Cheran, Zhaoqing first year Tanhualang, you were only eighteen years old at the time, you can be described as a genius, the teacher also said that this Gao Cheran is quite trusted by His Majesty, Yunwen Yunwu, and once followed His Majesty out of the city to hunt,"

Patrol the imperial history is only a temporary position, Gao Cheran Zhaoqing in the first year of the Tanhualang, was awarded the post of editor of the Hanlin Academy, this is his own duty, and it is just the seventh product, and the patrol of the imperial history is also the seventh product.

It sounds like such a grade is local, and any prefect is much bigger than him, but in fact, even if a civil official of the fourth grade encounters it, he doesn't dare to slack off.

Whether it is the duty of Hanlin compilation or the duty of inspecting the imperial history, the significance represented is not something that can be measured by grade.

What's more, this Gao Cheran can still follow His Majesty the Emperor, as long as it goes well, maybe he will be a pavilion elder in the future.

Everyone in the officialdom can see that His Majesty the Emperor sent out the people he trusted, just to brush Gao Cheran's resume, and he will definitely be promoted after returning to Beijing.

"What is Lord Prefectural worried about?"

Huang Anfu was not worried, and said: "The prefect has made it very clear that this Gao Yushi came to cut the domain, Chen Zishi was a student of Wanchun, and he had already been labeled as the king of Dingchuan when he came to Wanchun, and we can use the power of Lord Yushi to eradicate Chen Zishi, which is a good thing." ”

"That's why I'm worried,"

Li Zhifeng got up and walked to the window, and said bitterly: "In the past, the imperial court had no intention of cutting the domain, Qingxi seemed very ordinary, and now that the imperial court intends to cut the domain, Qingxi has become particularly important.

"You also know what Qingxi has been like in recent years, and now that Zhou Boqian is dead, all the mess will not be thrown on my head, I'm afraid that my county order will also be done by then."

I see.

Only then did Huang Anfu understand what Li Zhifeng was worried about, his eyes flashed, and he thought about it, "I said that my county lord, why worry about this matter, if Gao Yushi really came to our Qingxi, it must be to inspect Chen Zishi,"

"When the time comes, when we make a little mess casually and design to blame Chen Zi, how can Gao Yushi have the heart to focus on you and me, besides, a big man like this, I don't think he will come to a small county like us."
