Chapter 532: Madness

The reason why Zhou Chang went to Ningbo was that he couldn't stay in Hangzhou, and every time he thought of going to Chengyibo's mansion that time, but was bumped into by Xu Qian, he felt chills in his heart, and he couldn't sleep well, and he couldn't eat well. I'm afraid that this Xu Qian will attack himself when he will do it.

If it was other governors, Zhou Chang, as the imperial envoy, would certainly not be afraid of him, but the problem is that this Xu Qian is different, he has heard about Xu Qian's affairs in the capital for a long time, and now that he has provoked him, it is naturally better to be careful.

So Zhou Chang decided to come out to avoid the limelight, the duty of the patrol is to patrol the provinces and counties, the official position is not high, but the power is not small, the reason why he decided to go to Ningbo, is also because Ningbo has been said to be noisy and dusty recently, I want to see if I can catch a little handle.

This time he did not fanfare, but micro-service, to Ningbo, only to find that there is really too much change here, last year he also patrolled Ningbo, Ningbo since the Ningbo Rebellion, in fact, there is no change, but this year, the change is too big, the whole Ningbo, whether it is the city, the county, no longer see the people idle and live, but everyone is in a hurry, the market is more lively, you can see businessmen and brokers everywhere, outside the city is even more dusty, it seems that everyone is busy. The population in the city has also increased a lot, and the harsh household registration system of the Ming Dynasty has almost collapsed in the Wuzong period, and it is no longer so strict to enter the city, but what Zhou Chang saw and heard, it seems that the population of Ningbo Mansion has increased several times at once.

In this regard, Zhou Chang hated in his heart, and secretly scolded the people for being uneasy in their livelihoods, and instead of plowing in the spring, they wandered around the city, which showed that the atmosphere was corrupt.

It was given to the prefect's yamen, and then. Then an errand officer hurriedly came to report and said, "My lord...... My lord...... Outside the yamen, there was a disturbance. ”

Trouble......

Zhou Chang suddenly became excited, like a fly smelling rotten eggs. He was not afraid that someone would make trouble, but he was afraid that no one would make trouble, so he hurriedly said: "Why is this? Go, call someone to ask. Let them not go to the prefect's yamen to make trouble, if there are any grievances, although they come to the official, the official will make the decision for them. ”

The errand officer immediately went and reported back: "It is said that it is a matter of land requisition, and a squire is not angry, some time ago, someone bought land from this squire, and the price was forty-one acres of paddy fields. The squire sold it. Who knows. As soon as the land deed was delivered, the land price continued to rise, and now it has risen to 70 taels of silver per mu. The squire was not angry and refused to sell. In desperation, the prefect's yamen sued, saying that he was cheated by those businessmen. ”

"It turned out to be this ......" Zhou Chang suddenly lost interest, this is a matter of black and white, oh, when the land price is low, you sell it to someone else, and when you change hands, you feel that you have suffered a loss, and you have to sue others, this kind of guy, it is not interesting.

"But ......" this errand officer is the confidant of the patrol lord after all, and he knows the mind of the patrol lord, so he can't help but step forward and say: "My lord, this person is suing Ruyi Fang, and also said that this field is Ruyi Fang forced him to sell, the person who complained is surnamed Shen, called Shen, it is said that after Shen Zhou, the family of Wuzhong, because his uncle had been an official here, so the family moved to Ningbo and purchased real estate, who knows that this time suffered a loss." ”

"Shen Zhou......" At this moment, Zhou Chang was completely excited.

Who is Shen Zhou? Maybe most people don't know, but in this era, in Jiangnan, and even in Beijing, many people know him, this person is the most famous calligrapher and painter in the Hongzhi year, he should not be the imperial examination, specializing in poetry, calligraphy and painting, later generations will compare him with Zhengming, Tang Yin, Qiu Ying to the Ming four. His calligraphy and painting attainments can be described as a must, and now he has already become one of the most well-known figures in the world, but whenever his paintings come out, they will definitely cause a sensation, and everyone is vying to buy them.

Zhou Chang immediately realized that his luck had come.

If this Shen Ruo is really a descendant of Shen Zhou, then as long as he bites Ruyifang to death and occupies his field, it is forced to buy and sell, then it will inevitably cause a shock in the world, and Ruyifang and Xu Qian are closely related, so can it be said that after Xu Qian became the ruler of Zhejiang, he used Ruyifang to bully the squires everywhere and occupy the land? Regardless of whether this case can be finalized in the end, it is enough for this surnamed Xu to eat a pot, and after this case is poked out, he just took the opportunity to transfer back to Beijing with this credit, as for Zhejiang, what does it have to do with him?

Zhou Chang immediately said: "Quick, immediately go and invite this Shen Shi Brother to come and see you." ”

Shen Dang really came, it was indeed after Shen Zhou, after a conversation, Zhou Changru got a treasure, and immediately patted his chest and promised that he would be able to get his land back, and immediately expressed the hope that Shen could go back to Hangzhou with him.

Of course, it is necessary to go back to Hangzhou, after all, Ningbo is a place of small circles, and asking this case here will not cause an uproar, only in places like Hangzhou can there be room to play.

Shen hit it off with him, and without saying a word, he followed this Lord Zhou back home.

returned to Hangzhou, it is said that Futai also came back, from Shaoxing, Zhou Chang felt a little regretful, he knew that Xu Qian went to Shaoxing, and was planning to ask about the case, and wait for Xu Qian to come back, now the surname Xu is back, but I don't know if it will be hindered.

It's just that now when he encounters such a good opportunity, Zhou Chang is willing to let it go, and hurriedly sends a public servant to the Hangzhou prefect's yamen, hoping to borrow the Hangzhou prefect's yamen.

This...... It is also the sad place of the patrol, the patrol belongs to the Beijing officials, so even if you want to decide the case, you don't have a yamen, and you can go directly to Xingyuan to try it, but Xingyuan to try the case obviously belongs to yourself and plays with yourself behind closed doors, and if you want to have an impact, of course, it is useful to have a serious yamen.

Therefore, when encountering major cases, the patrol press has to borrow the prefect and the county yamen, which is also a common practice, and in this regard, Hangzhou prefect Wang naturally has no opinion.

And so.

At noon on this day, Zhou Chang and Shen agreed before, Shen handed over the paper, beat the drum and shouted grievances, Zhou Chang naturally ordered someone to invite him in, because Shen is also a famous person, ordered someone to give him a chair to sit down, and was about to ask, who knew that at this time, Lord Wang came.

Governor Wang came over, just to tell Lord Zhou, he wanted to listen to it, and wanted to know what kind of big and important case the case that Lord Patrol attached so much importance to.

This is a very reasonable request, and Zhou Chang can't wait for as many people as possible, so he naturally approves.

Governor Wang sat down with a smile, holding Erlang's legs, looking like he was listening.

And then, it seems that the matter is not over yet, and the political envoy Zhao Mingzhao is also here, and his reason is very simple, passing by here, let's take a look.

No matter how stupid Zhou Chang is, he doesn't feel quite right, he is full of suspicion, and he can't help but think: "This must be Xu Qian's arrangement, yes, Xu Qian has long been on guard against me, and all of them have long ordered people to stare at him, these people are just Xu Qian's eagle dog minions, hmph, today, let you see how powerful the official is." ”

Zhou Chang did not refuse Zhao Ming's request, you can listen to it if you want to, and after a while, I am afraid that after hearing it, I will scare you to death.

Zhao Ming just sat down, and then many officials came as if they were in a hurry, and it was strange to say, as if they had been discussed together, and there were more than ten or twenty people who came to the prison envoys, the scholars, the transfer envoys, the inspection envoys, and even the magistrates of Qiantang and Renhe counties, the Xuezheng of the Fuxue, and several sets of teams in Hangzhou.

At this moment, Zhou Chang suddenly felt a lot of pressure, just now he was willing to Zhao Ming and Lord Wang, and now he is turning away the others, which is obviously unreasonable, and they can't come, in fact, there is no hindrance, they just want to make a big deal about it, even if these people are Xu Qian's eagle dogs, how dare they? He is the patrol of one side, who dares to touch a single hair of him.

Zhou Chang is also single, and it's just the same thing if people want to open it, what are you afraid of?

Who knew that at this time, there was a humane outside: "Lord Futai has arrived." ”

As soon as they heard that Lord Futai had arrived, all the officials present stood up and set off to greet them outside the ya.

Xu Qian came quickly, and without waiting for them to go out, he was already wearing a five-beam crown like a spring breeze, wearing a purple woven cloud crane flower brocade ribbon and stepping in, and everyone saluted together and said, "I've seen Lord Futai." ”

Xu Qian pressed his hand, like the stars holding the moon, and said: "No need to be polite, the official just happened to pass by here, it is said that the inspector found a big case, how can it be reasonable, I am in the peaceful land of Zhejiang, I can't imagine that there is such a thing, and thanks to Zhou Xun, if it is not for his discerning eye, I am afraid that it will be difficult to perceive the situation, and the official will also come to have a lively time to see what the case is." ”

While speaking, someone had already moved a chair for him, and he was in a high position, Xu Qian sat down unceremoniously, and did not forget to quip: "Zhou Xunpress, why haven't you started the trial, this is noon, many people haven't eaten yet, you can't let everyone be hungry, Wang Fa is important, and the belly is also very important." ”

Zhou Chang was dumbfounded, took a deep breath, and said with a smile: "What the adults said is that this is a simple trial, this is a simple trial." He looked at Xu Qian looking at himself with a smile, and felt that his scalp was a little numb, but now, if he wanted to retreat, he couldn't do it, in front of everyone's eyes, Zhou Chang had to settle down, and thought: "The official is a patrol, what are you afraid of, this Xu Qian wants to force me, I can't let you get his wish." ”

So he took a deep breath, Zhou Chang's eyes closed, he held the startling wood in his hand, and shouted: "Who is the hall!" ”

Sitting in the hall was that Shen, Shen was also awe-inspiring in the face of so many people, and said, "Student Wuzhong Shen Zhou." ”

"Shen Zhou, since you are a person from Wuzhong, why do you want to complain in Ningbo?"

"My lord, in his early years, the student moved his family to Ningbo, so he has been living in Ningbo all the time."
