Chapter 184: Enemies Don't Know Each Other When They See Each Other

Although it is already the season of dripping water into ice, the city gate is opened early in the morning, and the city of Anqiu County is gradually lively. The shopkeepers got down the door early and started to do business, the women put on baskets and bargained with the vegetable vendors who rushed into the city early, and the odd workers stood at the door of several restaurants and restaurants on Hongwa Street early in the morning, looking forward to the employer, and the county government gate was also opened early, dealing with official business, entering the meeting, the people complained, and the autumn grain was collected...... Everything is also methodical.

Because the former county Cheng Luowei and the chief bookkeeper Zhao Ming were taken away by Jinyiwei, the rest of the errand officials were naturally silent, seeing that the young Xinzhi County was monopolizing the power and acting resolutely, the lazy and slippery thoughts were naturally gradually reduced. After more than half a month, seeing that Zhang Yue was just strict in official affairs, and often had some food to eat and scatter with everyone on holidays, a group of people's minds gradually calmed down, and they didn't dare to fight any little Jiujiu casually.

The ballad of "one case involves ten cases, one case flies ten miles" is gradually no longer sung, but a few clever rap artists have made up new words, which is nothing more than the one in Xiaozhi County that stopped Lu Jinyiwei to arrest corrupt officials. Early in the morning, a few tea guests in the teahouse who had spare money and didn't have to do things talked about all kinds of interesting things when the county magistrate tried the case, talking about the official voice of the new county, and finally they were amazed.

"In the past few months, the county government has handled dozens of lawsuits, not for me, almost all of them are fair, which is not easy. I passed by the county government yesterday and took a look, and those officers were polite, how could they have the usual domineering appearance. ”

"This Luo Papi and Zhao Knock Bone have been taken by Jinyiwei, which of them can be strong? My house is on the street to the left of the yamen, and every day I listen to the drum pounding, as if it is about to be broken. Speaking of which, there are too many lawsuits, but the county magistrate's future evaluation will not be able to go up, will there be any gaps? ”

"Ahem, it's not easy to have a good official who doesn't make money. We also hope that this little county will stay in Anqiu for a few more years. If he is promoted in a short time, and another one is transferred to the land, won't we continue to be unlucky? ”

At this point, the hook-nosed tea man who was sitting at the door suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves outside, so he leaned out and took a look. After a while, he saw a dozen riders rushing out of the corner, and he was not surprised, and saw those people clearly. He quickly shrank his head. The gang came and went as fast as they could, and soon disappeared at the end of the street.

When people passed, he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Isn't this the time to be in the morning, why did the county magistrate go out of the city with a group of people?" ”

Although Zhang Yue is a county official, there are really not many people in Anqiu County who have seen him. It's just that there are really a lot of people who recognize that official uniform, and almost everyone knows the officers behind him, so everywhere he goes, it immediately attracts countless attention and discussions. Wait until someone sees him leading people out of the city. This has caused endless doubts.

What did the county magistrate do when he didn't open the morning hall but went out of the city this morning, could it be that something happened?

Not to mention how others wondered, at this time, he took people to cross the river from the stone bridge in the upper reaches of Wenshui, and Zhang Yue was also full of sighs. The assassination of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, caused a great shock in the upper echelons of Shandong, and Zhang Fu sent a letter. Mu Ning also brought the letter a little later for other reasons. In the past month, due to Long Yan's anger, Shandong has naturally been greatly shaken from top to bottom, and almost all the officials have been locked up and taken into Beijing. The Qingzhou prefect was also demoted and transferred by the pond fish, and countless officials were punished. Zhang Yue had no dealings with this top boss, but he didn't feel much regret, but he went to Qingzhou for another big event.

Zhang Qian, the imperial eunuch, was ordered to visit the King of Han, and now he remains in Qingzhou Mansion to supervise Jinyiwei and the yamen of various departments to investigate the assassination of the King of Han. Although almost everyone up and down felt that there was something strange about the assassination of the Han King, since the order was like this, no one dared to disobey it, so today the officials from all counties in Qingzhou Mansion had to go to meet him. He is no exception. After completing all the official business that needed to be handled early in the morning, he left Ma Cheng to sit in the county office, and he hurriedly took Peng Shisan and a few errands out of the city.

Qingzhou Mansion is less than 200 miles away from Anqiu County, but there are several big rivers to bypass along the way, so it was almost afternoon when Zhang Yue saw Qingzhou City. I looked at the sun, and it was still early. In addition, the city gate is approaching more and more people. He also ordered the speed of his horse to slow down, and slowly moved forward with the flow of people entering the city.

At this time. On the road next to it, a group of people came out of the city, three black oil carriages, and the rest were two large carts, which looked like rich people. Zhang Yue only glanced at it casually and then withdrew his gaze, but when the two sides passed by, he suddenly heard as if someone was calling him, and he was suddenly surprised. Turning his head to look, he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw one of the carriages open the curtain, revealing a somewhat familiar face.

Seeing that there were still other people waiting to enter the city, he gestured to Peng Shisan and the others, rode his horse and leaned over, and only then did he call in a low voice when he arrived next to the carriage: "Lord Prefect is leaving today?" ”

"Xiao Zhang's name is wrong, I'm not a prefect now." Having said that, the middle-aged man at the window of the car was the former Kochifu, and he smiled slightly at this time, "Compared with the officials who were sent to Beijing, it is my great luck to be able to get out of the way this time, but I didn't expect to bump into you so coincidentally." But you are really late this time, most of the magistrates in other places came in a hurry last evening, and they are all waiting for that Gonggong Zhang at the prefect's yamen, you are very good. ”

Without waiting for Zhang Yue to speak, he waved his hand and said, "Naturally, I think that Father-in-law Zhang won't blame you for this matter." I also know that you have a very good official reputation in Anqiu County after taking office, and you probably left after handling official business, so you didn't care about this. Just being an official is ushering in and sending off, for example, no one pays attention to me when I leave office, but there are countless people waiting for Zhang's father-in-law, which is common sense. I was demoted to the governor of Chuzhou this time, but I am close to Ling Zun, what do you want me to piggyback? ”

Full of calculations, Zhang Yue also said a few official words to the prefect when he took office, not to mention deep friendship, not even shallow friendship, and now people's mention is even for the sake of his family background, it is also commendable. Therefore, when he heard people mention his father, he quickly thought about it.

"Thank you for your kindness. If you see your father. Please tell me that I am all right here. Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, took a folding fan from his sleeve and handed it to both hands, and added with a smile, "Today, I learned that my adult has left the company, and I have no rituals to give in a hurry." This folding fan is the inscription I painted on the fan when I arrived, but the poem was given by Master Du. When you go to Jiangnan, you will leave a souvenir. ”

Before leaving, the Kochi Mansion met Zhang Yue, and said a few more words on a whim, but he was surprised when he took the fan. After saying goodbye to Zhang Yue, he put down the curtain and opened the fan again, but his eyes gradually brightened. This person went to a high place, the water flowed to a low place, and the flat ground thundered, and he was suddenly demoted and transferred. Even if he went to the prosperous place of Huaiyang, he couldn't be happy. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yue was even smarter than he imagined, and this fan not only left room for the next day's goodbye, but also helped him settle down in a new place.

With this reminder, Zhang Yue went straight to the prefect's yamen after entering Qingzhou City. Really. Although it was not yet noon at this time, there were already many carriages and horses parked at the gate, but there was no sedan chair in sight.

A few of the attendants who were taking care of the carriage and horses didn't pay much attention to them when they saw them coming at a gallop. After all. This morning, a group of people who visited never stopped, even the people from the Yamen of the Metropolitan Division, and this group of people seemed to be only a magistrate, and compared with the officials in it, it was far behind.

The Qingzhou prefect's yamen is naturally much more spectacular than the county yamen of Anqiu. Zhang Yue bypassed the big photo wall, in front of him is the bluestone road, and after the gate is a neat drum tower. There are two pavilions on the left and right of the drum tower, the left is the Shenming Pavilion, and the right is the Jingshan Pavilion.

When I entered the instrument gate. The guard was obviously tightened, and the people around him who were nailed to the ground like stakes were not the subordinate soldiers in the palace, but they were all the guards of the Beijing camp, and they all did not squint. Thinking that when he was in the capital, he met the emperor twice and was almost the same situation, Zhang Yue didn't think it was strange. After all, this time Zhang Qian came to Shandong on behalf of the Son of Heaven.

Seeing that someone was coming again, several county magistrates who had been in Shandong for several years glanced at each other and whispered to each other.

"This seems to be Anqiu Zhi County? It's a big shelf. It didn't take three moments to say. He had only arrived half an hour early. ”

"You know what! We even have to smile and respect our own county master's book, but he is ruthless at a young age. actually grabbed the big handle of those two and uprooted them, and now his county government is like an iron bucket! ”

Hearing this voice, Sun Lianggan of Anzhi County, who was next to him, looked at Zhang Yue with a humble face and was greeting people, his eyes could almost spew fire, and he couldn't wait to yell at the few officials around him who were both envious and jealous.

"If you have such a prominent family relative, not to mention the iron bucket, even the gold bucket will have it!"

Sun Lianggan was in the restaurant and his two companions for a long time, but he said the wrong thing and made jokes, and his reputation gradually became a little unbearable. He ruthlessly tried to find a shortage of silver, but who knew that the shortage made him wait, but it turned out to be Shandong. In this Shandong, there is a prince and a prince in the Han Dynasty alone, plus eight county kings, and these princes are naturally the most difficult to be the county governors, and he just got to Le'an, where the Han King is located!

When he thought of the first time he went back to meet the King of Han, he was hung there and knelt there for half an hour, and then he couldn't get out of the county office, and he didn't even put him in his eyes, but Zhang Yue ran his own territory like an iron bucket, and no one dared to disobey, he felt even more ashamed and annoyed, and his eyes at Zhang Yue became more and more resentful, as if his own encounters were all caused by the other party.

And Zhang Yue didn't notice that someone was staring at him, he and Sun Lianggan were on the same side, and they had long forgotten to see each other at this time. He only knew a limited number of people when he first arrived, and after saying hello, he stopped moving around.

Suddenly, there was a ping-pong sound inside, and after a while, a young man wearing a big red and gold claw sitting dragon brocade robe, covered with a satin golden dragon cloak, and holding a horse whip in his hand rushed out and went down the steps with a sigh. Seeing that all the officials outside were avoiding everywhere, he was even more annoyed, raised his eyes and looked around, his eyes directly skipped Zhang Yue, and finally recognized Sun Lianggan, so he sneered and stepped forward, but he couldn't help but whip it over.
