No matter how Zhang Wen messed around, he saw that he was already exhausted, and he had no power to deal with the matter of punishment. A group of people made a fuss in the hall of the county government for a long time, and the messenger was already angry, if it weren't for the scruples that Zhang Wen was an official from the Wupin Imperial Court, the messenger couldn't wait to rush up and lift Zhang Wen's arms and legs, and threw it hard, so that this nasty guy flew around like a bird in the lobby.

The messenger gritted his teeth and endured a disgusting nameless fire, and said coldly: "Lord Zhang, we have also verified the official documents, and we have also read the Da Ming Law." There is no one that says that these criminals who deserve their crimes cannot be cut, what else do you have to say? ”

Ma Xiancheng has already come back to his senses, and he dares to ask if he has nothing to do with monkey play? Ma Xiancheng suddenly had a feeling of pleasure after being played, and he didn't have the patience to make trouble, seeing that it was almost noon, and his stomach was also making trouble, he did not hesitate to use the county seal on the case file, escorted out the salt bandits, and sent them to the execution ground to be beheaded.

Zhang Wen looked at the door, why didn't this old boy come yet? As soon as he thought of this, suddenly a soap officer rushed in and said, "There is another person from above, wearing red...... The red-robed officer! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice outside scolding: "Get out, open your dog's eyes, and look at what kind of clothes Lord Zuo is wearing!" Then another whispered voice said, "Open the front door after your small report." ”

After a while, Zuo Guangdou, who was wearing a red official robe, walked to the door of the lobby surrounded by the guards of the left and right protégés. The people in the lobby, such as Ma Xiancheng, messengers, and scribes, showed a look of awe on their faces.

Zhang Wen's heart was overjoyed, this time he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body immediately relaxed, as refreshing as he had just finished soaking in a hot spring, and as light as when he put down a burden weighing 100 catties. Zuo Guangdou asked Zhang Wen to follow Sun Qian to keep an eye on Fuyang's affairs, and Zhang Wen finally completed the task. Now how to make trouble, how to fight, and how to argue, it's none of his business. Anyway, Lao Tzu was originally a member of the Donglin Party, although he made a small mistake before, but now that he has helped you solidly, he can make up for it, everyone can see it, and if he wants to kick it away, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the same party?

At the same time, Zhang Wen saw the shocked expressions of the people in the lobby, and was envious of the spirit of Wang Ba who was scattered by Zuo Guangdou, and a voice shouted in Zhang Wen's head: Lao Tzu also wants to wear a red robe!

Zuo Guangdou snorted and said coldly: "The old man is the imperial history of the Imperial Inspectorate, and he is entrusted by the emperor to inspect Zhejiang, supervise hundreds of officials, and punish corrupt officials, relatives and villains, those who deceive their superiors and subordinates, and those who bend the law for personal gain!" ”

Ma Xiancheng was startled, his knees were weak, and he fell to the ground with a plop, "Xiaguan and others greet Lord Zuo to look at Fuyang......" Yiying people were infected by Ma Xiancheng's facial expressions, and felt that Zuo Guangdou's authority in the local area simply overshadowed the emperor.

Zuo Guangdou held his chest high, flicked the sleeves of his robe, walked to the north, stretched out his hand, and said, "What about the file of the salt bandit?" Ma Xiancheng hurriedly raised the sealed dossier above his head with both hands and presented it. At this time, even the messenger who was according to the judge couldn't say a word, Zuo Guangdou's official position was there, power, reason, and justice were all overwhelming, and the messenger who was still flexible at the beginning didn't even dare to let go of a sullen fart at this time.

A scribe in a cloth robe next to him picked up the dossier and gave it to Zuo Guangdou, who squinted his eyes downward and turned a page with two fingers, as if the dossier had just been fished out of the pit and was covered with. Zuo Guangdou only glanced at it, frowned, and said coldly: "Climbing and biting indiscriminately, there is no evidence, and the case will be decided?" This dossier is no different from waste paper! ”

The messenger who was the judge opened his mouth after hearing this, but he didn't have the courage to refute, and at this time Zuo Guangdou turned his head and glared at him, and the messenger hurriedly lowered his head, like a child who was about to be beaten with a stick when he did something wrong.

The scribe next to Zuo Guangdou immediately shouted: "Come on, escort a criminal to the provincial government, and retry it in three halls!" ”

Seeing this, Zhang Wen had nothing to do with him, so he arched his hand and said: "Xiaguan is passing by here, since the case is supervised by Lord Zuo, Xiaguan will not pass by." After saying that, he walked out of the lobby, and as soon as he left the county office, a scribe caught up with Zhang Wen and said, "Changyan, please stay." ”

Zhang Wen turned around and bowed. The scribe held a thread-bound booklet in his hands and said, "This is Qingyang's hand-copied "Fuqiu Poetry Anthology", and the teacher praised its good words, and often put it around him to figure out and modify the words. The teacher Wen Changyan is proficient in poetry and literature, and intends to give books to meet friends, please accept Changyan. ”

The author of "Fuqiu Poetry Anthology" is Zuo Guangdou, and Fuqiu is Zuo Guangdou's number; And Qingyang, who is in charge of hand-copying, is Chu Sang, Zuo Guangdou's protégé. This book is of great significance, a book written by Zuo Guangdou, and a handwritten character by a disciple. Zhang Wen immediately understood that Zuo Guangdou wanted Zhang Wen to be his protégé, after all, a big man not only needs a person like Chu Sang with high literary attainments, a good pen, a good handwriting, and a sense of justice, but also a person like Zhang Wen who is witty and good at power and strategy.

Zhang Wen was overjoyed, and he fell in love with Zuo Guangdou, whether it was promotion or saving his life in the future, there would be an extra bright avenue. He immediately took it with both hands and said politely: "The student is scared...... Please relayed a sentence for the foolish brother, if there is a place that can be used by the student, the student is honored. ”

Zhang Wen changed his words and called the scribe a senior brother, which means that I reluctantly entered the left gate. At the same time, Zhang Wen estimated that Donglin had never been in the habit of sitting and tidying, they were used to taking the initiative to attack; This time, he was darkened by the Chu Party, and he would never be able to finish the matter by defending, and he would definitely set up an offensive. The meaning of Zhang's question is that if the other party regards him as his own, let him take action.

The scribe was stunned for a moment, savored Zhang Wen's words, smiled and said, "Changyan don't worry, I will definitely bring your words." ”

Zhang Wen said goodbye to the scribes, took his wife Zhang Ying, and prepared to return to Hangzhou. A group of four people, including two guards, walked to the bank of the Fuchun River and waited for the salt boat that came to pick up Zhang Wen.

He saw that the water by the river was crystal clear, the small fish and shrimp on the pebbles were swimming carefree, and a group of Jiangnan girls and daughters-in-law who were washing clothes by the river were giggling and playing in the water while working, Zhang Wen couldn't help but feel good. At this moment, Zhang Wen suddenly remembered the Li clan again, although the Li clan's power is very spread, and there are many important things every day, maybe they may have the heart to notice Zhang Wen, but if they know about the affairs of Fuyang County, and have time to contact and think about it, wouldn't they think that Zhang Wen is a big hidden danger? This worry made Zhang Wen's mood a little heavy.

The Li family is the descendants of the Ming Dynasty general Li Chengliang, there are many people, many things are not decided by one person, sometimes it feels very brainless, sometimes it is very ingenious, just like their ancestor Li Chengliang is as weird, sometimes very wise, sometimes do their best, and the people in the government and the opposition are very confused. So Zhang Wen couldn't guess what they would do with him.

Zhang Wen thought of the things that Li Chengliang, the ancestor of the Li family and the general of this dynasty, did, and those things that were incomprehensible and incomprehensible. Obviously, Li Chengliang could have killed the wild boar skin a long time ago, and the wild boar skin had long been ambitious and gradually uncontrollable, but people just wanted to keep it, and finally left a mess that made the later Liaodong Jing slightly stunned.

Li Chengliang's descendant and Zhang Wen's enemy Li family is also very strange about Zhang Wen's question, there is no doubt that they should have killed Zhang Wen when he was weak, Zhang Wen had no power to resist at that time, and could only be rectified, but people don't, what can you do? And now, Zhang Wen's wings have become small, and if the Li family wants to get rid of Zhang Wen, it is no longer as simple as taking something out of his pocket. But Zhang Wen still hopes that the time to tear his face with Li will be postponed a little longer, so that he can be stronger.
