After leaving the palace that day, Lin Yanchao did not immediately go to the Qiongzhou Guild Hall, but went to another place. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Chen Jichuan drove a carriage to a deep mansion compound. After Lin Yanchao passed through, he entered the house at the moment.

After passing through a hanging flower gate, I came to a courtyard.

The yard is full of flowers and plants, and an old man inside is pruning a potted plant. The old man waited for more than a dozen subordinates left and right, each holding scissors, small hoes, towels, and hot tea.

The subordinate who guided Lin Yanchao said to the old man: "Master, Lin Zhongyun of Zhan Shifu is here." ”

The old man nodded, but he was still staring at the bonsai in front of him. After finishing the potted plant with ease, the old man showed a relieved expression, and then smiled at Lin Yanchao, who was standing aside, and said, "It's Zong Hai who is here, so you have been waiting for a long time." ”

This old man is Lu Guangzu who went to see Hai Rui before.

Seeing that the other party was also on a good shelf, Lin Yanchao didn't have the slightest momentum, and the identity gap was there. Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "He has been waiting for a long time, and I just happened to take a look at the exquisite flowers and trees in Mr. Wutai's yard." ”

Lu Guangzu laughed and said to Lin Yanchao: "Zong Hai is a person with vision, you came just in time, how about looking at these potted plants of the old man?" ”

Lin Yanchao also went up, tasted it with Lu Guangzu, and said with a smile: "What Mr. Wutai planted, they are all ingenious and original!" Wansheng really can't think of any other official in the capital who is better than Mr. Wutai. ”

Lu Guangzu smiled and said, "After the old man goes into hiding, he will be able to fiddle with these flowers and plants. These plants were planted in my hometown of Pinghu, and this time I was afraid that people would not care, so I moved here to serve myself. ”

So the two talked about potted plants for a while, Lin Yanchao came to the door for something, but the officials came and went, they all made friends first, and they wouldn't go straight to the point with you.

Lin Yanchao knew that this Lu Guangzu was a big man, and Zhang Juzheng's year was also a private friend.

When Zhang Juzheng was the first assistant, he was extremely authoritative, and the officials trembled in front of Zhang Juzheng, and they didn't even have a place to sit. Only Lu Guangzu, who was the secretary of Dali Temple at the time, sat down with an old face, and said to Zhang Juzheng, I am stupid, if you don't let me sit down and talk slowly, I will leave immediately.

Lu Guangzu dared to be so awesome, firstly, because he was the same year as Zhang Juzheng, and secondly, he had served as the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, and had accumulated countless contacts for many years.

Zhang Juzheng endured it, and from then on, he could also give him a seat when the officials told him. Even so, in the end, Lu Guangzu was still driven home by Zhang Juzheng.

After finishing the friendship, Lu Guangzu said: "The old man has failed to trust you and Brother Zhu, and failed to persuade Haigang Peak, so he really can't go." ”

Lin Yanchao was surprised: "Hai Gangfeng doesn't even give you face, sir?" ”

Zhu Ji and Lu Guangzu are fellow villagers, and in order to persuade Hai Rui, Lin Yanchao asked Zhu Ji to replace him and asked Lu Guangzu, who had just come to Beijing, to come forward to persuade Hai Rui.

Lin Yanchao met Lu Guangzu firstly for Hai Rui, and secondly, as his own political resources.

Lu Guangzu, like Lin Yanchao, also recommended Hai Rui, and this favor cannot be erased.

Therefore, there was a scene where Lu Guangzu came to persuade Hai Rui. Unexpectedly, Hai Rui really didn't recognize his six relatives, and he didn't even give Lu Guangzu face.

"Haigang Peak, can you say why you don't?" Lin Yanchao asked.

Lu Guangzu smiled and said, "He said that Zong Hai, you are uneasy and kind. ”

"Disturbed and kind?"

"Hai Gangfeng said that you recommended him to the Son of Heaven as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, one is to use his reputation among the people, and the other is that you yourself are unwilling to come forward and let him offend others."

Hearing Lu Guangzu say this, Lin Yanchao couldn't help but blush.

Indeed, the establishment of a righteous school will be independent and set up a special matter, which will be dissatisfied with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Households. Because at the court meeting, Lin Yanchao didn't say so in order to win the support of the Ministry of Household Rites.

Now that the matter has been passed in the court, Lin Yanchao has thrown aside the Ministry of Rites and the Household Department, which is obviously a villain act of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

Therefore, in order not to be scolded by the Ministry of Rites, Lin Yanchao recommended the upright Hai Rui to do this, so that what Hai Rui does in the future, the Ministry of Household Rites will not blame him.

Only Hai Rui has the courage to bear this matter, and if he changes to others, he is afraid that he will compromise with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household in two days. But he didn't expect Hai Rui to see through Lin Yanchao's calculations at a glance.

Hey, these people who have been in officialdom for a long time, they are so careful, Zhang Juzheng saw it clearly before. Even Hai Rui, an upright official, actually sees it so thoroughly.

It's really not to play home remedies in front of the old Chinese medicine doctor.

Lu Guangzu said to Lin Yanchao: "Back then, Gao Xin Zheng and Xu Huating were not on good terms, so they let Haigang Feng be the governor of Yingtian and preside over the Qingzhang fields. As a result, Haigangfeng was selfless and strictly investigated Xu Huating's concealment of fields. Therefore, it is not prudent for Haigang Peak. ”

Lin Yanchao listened to the bottom of his heart and said, "Thank you Mr. Wutai for your advice." ”

Coming out of Lu Guangzu's mansion, Lin Yanchao drove directly to the Qiongzhou Hall with his order.

After coming to the hall, Lin Yanchao just got off the carriage and saw a lot of people gathered at the door. Those ordinary people, without exception, were waiting in line with lawsuits in hand.

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but be surprised. Chen Jichuan on the side also said: "This is strange, when did the Qiongzhou Hall also change to the yamen?" ”

As soon as Chen Jichuan's voice fell, a white-haired ordinary man on crutches said, "Don't you know? Lord Qingtian is here. ”

Lin Yanchao asked knowingly: "Oh, old man, dare to ask which Qingtian master is it?" ”

"Isn't that a joke? There is only one Qingtian Lord in the world, and it is Haiqingtianhai Lord! The common man said with admiration.

"It turned out to be Hai Qingtian, that old man's legs and feet are not good, what are you looking for him to do?"

"Sue!" The common man said angrily: "The big family in our village co-authored Zongjia to deceive my family's six acres of ancestral land, and I went to the county yamen to complain, but the dog knew that the county colluded with Zongjia, and did not help me get back the ancestral field, not to mention, and ordered the official to break the leg of the little old man." I was not convinced, so I came to the foot of the Son of Heaven to sue this dog official, but there was no way around, and several yamen pushed around, saying that it was none of their business. ”

"I've been in the capital for a few months, and I'm going to run out of that bit of entanglement, and I don't have the face to go back anyway, thinking that if I can't sue the case, I'll bury this old bone in the capital. Fortunately, yesterday, someone pointed out that Hai Qingtian was here, and if he was found, it would be more useful than suing the emperor. That's why I'm here, little old man. Why do you want to sue young man? ”

Lin Yanchao smiled and didn't answer.

But seeing that the people nearby all said: "Young man, if you have a grievance to find Hai Qingtian, you must be right." ”

"Yes, Hai Qingtian is different from those dog officials who only pick money from the common people."

"Hai Qingtian will definitely avenge us."
