Chapter 198 The Controversy of Yuan Shaopei

Zhu Guangli ate the familiar big ear scraper, covered his face in pain, and shared the bed with his wife brazenly, feeling that what the lady said made sense.

Could it be that if these two masters are gone, I really won't be the magistrate anymore?

He is also a person with a strategy in his stomach, how can he be depressed because of this.

Or Madam is right, the two masters are gone, and I have to cheer up and take the burden of Tanzhou on my shoulders, so that the people of Tanzhou can continue to live in good weather.

He made up his mind, he excited himself with enthusiasm, wished he could get up from the bed now, lean over the desk to check the account book, but he was afraid of his wife's slap, and he just lay down obediently and daydreaming.

I don't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, half of his ambition had gone, and the remaining half disappeared after thinking of Yuan Shaopei. He hurried to Yuan's house and had a sincere talk with Yuan Shaopei.

Yuan Shaopei's old mother was ill, and it was really not suitable for long-distance travel. Seeing that Yuan Shaopei had no intention of going to Beijing, he was very happy, and told Yuan Shaopei that he was already looking for a good doctor, and he could wait until the Lantern Festival was over. arrive.

When he left Yuan's house, he walked lightly.

After drifting for less than half a day, the bad news came again. Yan Shi told Yuan Shaopei that as long as Yuan Shaopei was willing to go to the capital first, he would also invite the best doctor for Yuan Shaopei.

Zhu Guangli sat in the yamen with a heavy heart until it was dark, when Mrs. Zhu's maid came to invite him to dinner, he suddenly slapped his head: "There is a solution."

Then he hurried out and arrived at Yan's mansion. After paying his respects to Yan Shi, he didn't have time to sit down and directly explained his intention.

"Yan Shuaisi, Liu Xianggong is your mentor and also a guest of the Zhang family. There is one thing that I cannot hide from you."

Yan Shi saw that he had haggarded more than half in a short period of time, and felt amused in his heart, he had never seen such a careless magistrate.

Seeing Zhu Guangli's serious face again, he didn't know what was going to happen, so he asked, "Oh? Then this matter is about my benefactor?"

Zhu Guangli nodded, and said with a heartbeat: "Actually, I am from King Jin!"

Yan Shi was stunned, not knowing the reason for his shocking words.

"You are... when King Jin was in Tanzhou, did you work for him?"

He answered in his mind: "It doesn't look like it, does King Jin like you to kneel quickly?"

Everything is difficult at the beginning. After Zhu Guangli uttered the first sentence, the following words flowed out.

"Yes, I am from the King of Jin. The two masters were arranged by the King of Jin for me, so they are also from the King of Jin. If Liu Xianggong transfers Yuan Shaopei to the capital, I am afraid that the King of Jin will be even more powerful. Alright, Shuaisi might as well recommend another person to Liu Xianggong."

Yan Shi looked at Zhu Guangli carefully: "Since you belong to King Jin, you must know what King Jin did in Tanzhou, right?"

Zhu Guangli shook his head: "I'm not sure, I'm not Xie Changshi, how could I know?"

Yan Shi said: "What you said makes sense. Since you are members of King Jin, you must be cautious."

Zhu Guangli secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, in the next moment, Yan Shi slammed the table and said harshly: "Zhu Guangli! I see that you have been jumping up and down in the past two days, just to let Yuan Shaopei stay in Tanzhou. It is a man from the King of Jin. It is nonsense to say that my mentor is a man from Zhang Xiangye. All the civil and military officials are paid by the imperial court and received the imperial decree. We are all His Majesty's people! Today these I'll pretend I didn't hear you, and if you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

He walked away, walked outside the door, and suddenly turned his head and pointed at Zhu Guangli and cursed: "Idiot! Jingdu Yuan Shaopei is going to fix it!"

It's so stupid to run and say that he is the king of Jin, thinking that he will let Yuan Shaopei stay in Tanzhou if he does so!
If it's really King Jin's man, it's too late to hide, and he will come here to tell him!

In Zhu Guangli's eyes, is he so easy to fool?

Zhu Guangli was so angry with Yan Shi that he was reprimanded angrily, and left with a sad face.

The next day, he had no intention of sitting in the Yamen, and ordered the bearers to go to Lushan Temple, where he burned incense in front of the Buddha, and then watched the turtles outside the release pond.

Just as he was watching, he suddenly saw Lu Hong coming in from the mountain gate. He hurriedly went up to greet him, and bowed: "Sir, you are here to practice Zen again."

Lu Hong returned a salute: "It's close, so I often come here to have a quiet time. I think the husband's complexion is not good. Is it because he is too tired?"

Zhu Guangli smiled, and walked in with him: "Sir, just kidding, I don't have anything to worry about. Since the commander of Jinghu North Road was handed over to Mr. Pei, even the river thieves have disappeared. The merchant ships have been in peace since ancient times. The two lakes are one family, and our place is much more peaceful.”

After sending Lu Hong past the release pool, Zhu Guangli stopped and stopped going in.

Lu Hong invited him into the meditation room together: "I think Mr. Zhu also needs to be quiet."

Zhu Guangli sighed, followed Lu Hong in, sat on the futon, and immediately felt calm.

It's impossible not to calm down, the ground is too cold, the cold air penetrates directly into his body through the stone slabs and futon, making him cool from the inside out.

It seems that sitting in meditation is also a hard work.

Lu Hong laughed, and stood up holding his hand: "You are too honest, sit down first, sit down and drink some hot tea."

He is a frequent visitor here, he does not need a young monk to bring tea and water, he just needs a charcoal basin, he scoops up mountain spring water in the teapot, puts a twist of tea leaves, burns it on the charcoal basin, sits down with Zhu Guangli around the charcoal fire, When the tea boils, pour two cups of hot tea.

"Zhu Xianggong, the tea is rough tea, but the water is good water, drinking it also has a special taste, don't be disgusted."

Zhu Guangli didn't care about scalding his hands, and quickly took the teacup over: "The water in Lushan Temple is famous in Tanzhou, how can I dislike it."

Lu Hong didn't say any more, and drank tea on his own. Zhu Guangli took a few sips of tea absent-mindedly, and then said: "The world is really different now, even telling the truth will make people scold."

"Haha, it must be that Zhu Xianggong's truth is unexpected."

"Yes, and no," Zhu Guang rubbed the teacup with his palm, "However, I don't know whether I did the right thing or not, and whether I could help him. I have been in Tanzhou for many years, and I have been helped by him a lot. Only after such a long time of leisure, today can be regarded as paying him back a little favor."

He didn't mention King Jin, but Lu Hong knew he was talking about King Jin.

He had also heard about Yuan Shaopei going to the capital, but Ni Peng and Yuan Shaopei went to Beijing one after the other, which inevitably aroused suspicion. It seemed that what Zhu Guangli said was enough to dispel Yan Shi's doubts.

Lu Hong had already seen that Zhu Guangli was not a useless person. To be able to get the protection of King Jin in Tanzhou, without letting the Zhang family overthrow him, this skill and means are not easy.

He added a cup of tea to Zhu Guangli, and said with a smile: "If you want to pay back a little favor, I have a way to pay back more."

"Appreciate further details."

"Xu Laiyu, a county magistrate in Zezhou, because of the explosion in the smelting field, submitted a note to Jinshang, begging to re-measure the fields, rebuild the fish scale book, and resume farming. This is a major event that benefits the country and the people. Mr. Zhu can do it." try."
