"You can tear this page off." After dealing with the outside, Wang Zhengui lifted the curtain, walked into the inner room, and said with the thin palm in front of the table.

The man received the order in a panic, and tore open the old paper on the roster with the names of the four counselors and replaced it with a new one.

"You know what to write." Wang Zhengui swirled the pen in the inkstone and handed it to his hand.

How could he not understand, holding a pen and writing quickly on the paper, in a moment he had arranged all the henchmen of Jin-gyu to the throne of counselor.

Wang Zhengui narrowed his eyes and smiled, and clenched his hand: "You have worked hard." In the future, the silver will be handed over, and it will not be bad. ”

"Mr. Zhu, Mr. Song! The priest of the Futaicha is here! A few scholars shouted along the road and ran up to the hall in high spirits.

Zhu Che and Song Zhang glanced at each other, they were both very happy, and ordered: "Order the scholars, all the workers and all the positions of the academy to go to the outer courtyard to bow down and greet them!" ”

It was noon, Wang Zhengui had just gone to his house to get the money, and when he heard that the courtyard had arrived, he hurriedly put aside the current matter and hurried to greet the chief.

He and Zhu Che and others knelt down, so they set up a banquet in the hall to entertain them, and the courtyard ate a lot of dishes, but they were afraid of drinking and making mistakes, so they refused to drink more, so everyone gave up.

After removing the banquet, Zhu Che invited the courtyard into the outer study to discuss, followed by Zhengui and others, moved chairs, and sat down.

Zhu Che looked at this person's tiger and bear's waist, hiding thunder in his face, and he was by no means a civil official, and couldn't help asking: "What kind of position does the chief have today?" ”

The priest replied, "A certain guard has been in office for many years. ”

"Garrison?" Zhu Che's face was a little strange, he didn't know what a military attache sent by the government wanted to do.

"Garrison is an important local responsibility, and if it is suddenly transferred here, if you take care of one thing and lose the other, I am afraid it will not be beautiful." Zhu Che stroked his beard and frowned.

Si Yuan smiled: "Sir misunderstood. It's just that because Jianghuai has been safe recently, we have nothing to do, so we are asking for this position, and we are also trying the depth for the latecomers. ”

Zhu Che laughed: "My academy is not a sinister place, where does it come from?" A group of knowledgeable people are enough to know but adults are mindful. ”

The two talked for a while, and Zhu Che got up and instructed someone to choose a spacious room, clean it, and wait for the courtyard to move in.

He took the opportunity to walk out of the house and secretly said to Wang Zhengui: "I have a small academy, how can it be supervised by the guards?" Besides, it's a military attaché, so there may be something greasy about it. ”

Zhengui replied calmly: "This shows that the government attaches great importance to Mr., and even did not hesitate to send such a big official over to show respect; As for the military attaché, it is probably to deter your colleagues and ensure that they do not violate the discipline. This is also a word of speculation, and the amount of money in the chest of the government is really unknown. ”

Zhu Che still had doubts: "Although Brother Xian's words are reasonable, Zhu still feels worried. ”

Wang Zhengui also advised: "Since Mr. Zhu is determined to make friends with the government, there is no need to doubt what they are doing, if we don't trust each other, we will achieve nothing." The people of Futai are very supportive of you, can't you see this clearly? ”

Only then did Zhu Che dispel some of the doubts in his heart and went back to the house to rest alone.

After getting rid of the big pile of things in front of him, Wang Zhengui hurriedly grabbed the silver and went to the bookkeeper room. Who knew that he happened to meet the thin palm on the road, in order to prevent being seen by outsiders, the two went to the room together, Zhengui untied his coat, gave him a bag of silver, and instructed: "This is the official from the house, you take it, a total of five taels." Although this is a lot of money, don't be in a hurry to spend it first, after three days, there will be a big event in the academy, and you can spend all your time drinking and having a good time. ”

The palm-bearer immediately accepted the silver, and said with great gratitude: "Lord Wang treats me so kindly, it's nothing to endure for a while." When you are promoted and made a fortune, you will be rewarded with generous gifts. ”

Zhen Gyu took his leave with confidence, leaving the thin palm of his hand to stare at the silver tightly.

Although this thin palm is a literati, but usually sell words for a living, after entering the academy, only to receive a little money in the book, stop making a family, occasionally eat some chicken, duck and fish. In the past two days, he seized an opportunity to be greedy for ink and scraped five taels of silver from Wang Yanjiao. He almost slept with the silver on his pillow, thinking hard every day about how to spend it, so that he couldn't sleep, and his heart felt like someone tickled, and he didn't have a happy place in his body.

He couldn't help it anymore, so he weighed the bag of silver again, and then thought, "The big thing Wang Zhengui said is nothing more than the destruction of the academy. Now that he is in power, several counselors have been replaced by his henchmen, and there are guards in the town, who dares to say a word? If I spend this money now, it won't affect the overall situation, right? ’

After thinking about it, he took the money with him in a hurry, and went out to have fun.

He had just drunk a good meal from the restaurant, his face was red, and he staggered downstairs, but he was bumping into Vice President Song Zhang on the street.

"Where do you drink so much? You still don't care about the serious things in the academy? Seeing that he was about to pounce on him, Song Zhang took a few steps back and asked sharply.

"No, I didn't drink much," he replied drunkenly, with a foul smell of wine coming out of his mouth, "but in the restaurant there, I had a big meal and spent five taels of silver!" ”

"When did you save up the money?" Song Zhang was suddenly startled, and his eyes moved twice in alarm.

"What you saved!" With a thin palm, he flicked his arm, "Dean Song, this is Lord Wang's kind reward for me, tell me to drink, drink to death!" ”

Song Zhang pinched his nose and looked him up and down with fear.

"Huh? Wang Jin-gyu ......"

Zhu Che slowly stood up, his body a little unstable.

"I suspected that he was not on the right path and had other evil plans," Song Zhang said beside him, "and now it seems that he is five or six points right." ”

"Before that, the four counselors persuaded each other, but I didn't think so," Zhu Che nervously tugged at the placket of his clothes, "Quickly call them over and ask what is going on!" ”

"Yes!" Song Zhang turned around and went out and called the scholar: "Please ask Counselor Han to call Liu, Zhao, and Ma over!" ”

The moon had risen into the sky, but the clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and the bright light seemed to not be able to hit Zhu Che's face. He was anxious about the lights that were going on.

"Why haven't they arrived yet......" He lit the candle again, and heard Song Zhang dragging his heavy steps, "Vice Dean Song?" ”

Song Zhang's eyes were empty, his limbs seemed to be floating in the air, the beads of sweat on his head kept flowing downward, and his complexion was unusually pale, as if he had been brushed with a layer of white paint.

He seemed to be struggling to walk up to Zhu Che and said in a weak tone, "Dean Zhu...... Dean Zhu ...... Counselor Han and four others were all deposed and removed from office. ”
