Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 185: Different visions, different approaches

Yu Liang lived in a mansion, which was the property of a friend of his in Pengcheng. It was a courtyard with two entrances and two exits. The place was small, but the layout was elegant. Xu Hui and others sat in the main hall and waited.

They had to come.

Compared with the attack on Zhuge Yan, other government affairs can be put aside first. Anything related to this matter will attract the attention of officials from above to below. Even if they don't take it seriously, they must show their attention on the surface. This is a matter of attitude.

What better way to show your concern than to come and inquire in person as soon as you hear about the progress of the case?
So they waited and discussed.

"Didn't Yu Liang go to Wo Binglou to talk about mysteries yesterday? How could we catch someone?" Xu Hui asked, stroking his beard. He received the news early in the morning and rushed over without having time to understand the process.

County Magistrate Yang Yong gave a brief introduction: "Reporting to Shangguan, it was his men who caught the person and directly informed Yu Shi."

"So that's it. What a good helper. Yu Liang caught a few fish that slipped through the net while talking about mysteries. It's really not easy." Xu Hui stroked his beard and praised.

Yang Yong also nodded and said: "Isn't it? In contrast, the envoy has not seen any movement. I don't know what kind of medicine these two are selling in the gourd..." He faintly pointed out a guess in everyone's mind.

"Everyone, it's been a long wait."

During the conversation, Yu Liang's voice came from the side. He had finished washing, and walked out with a bright smile on his face.

"I already know why you are here, so you might as well talk about it while eating. This cook of mine was brought from the capital, and his skills are excellent. Even the Holy One praised him after he tasted it."

Xu Hui, Yang Yong and others wanted to say that they had already eaten, but when they heard this, they immediately suppressed their words. How can you refuse a craft that even the emperor has eaten?

Then, the servants walked past like water, placing several small tables in front of everyone, and the exquisite breakfast was brought out one after another. It looked fresh, but the aroma was not strong.

Yu Liang smiled and waved his hand and said: "Everyone, please have a meal."

Xu Hui and others nodded, picked up their chopsticks, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. This Yu Liang was indeed a celebrity, and with just this one hand, he suppressed them all and lost all their initiative.

"I was lucky enough to catch a few fish that slipped through the net last night."

After eating a few bites, everyone praised the chef's skills, but it was difficult to get into the topic. Yu Liang mentioned what happened last night in an understatement, but no one present could tell that the censor was very proud.

Next, everyone praised him.

Yu Liang kept being humble, and after a few words, he suddenly mentioned: "However, you have to tell Zhang Zheng about this matter. After all, he is the official envoy, and it is not good to overstep his authority."

Upon hearing this, Xu Hui and others looked at each other, their expressions became strange, and then they became embarrassed.

In the past few days, Yu Liang, a subordinate official, has made some noise, but there is no trace of Zhang Ruo. Everyone in Pengcheng has seen something famous. Now after hearing Yu Liang's words, they can finally be sure.

"There is indeed a conflict between this censor and the Ting Weizheng. Are you trying to force us to take sides? If we really want to report the case, Yu censor, as a subordinate officer, should report to the official. Who should be ours? "

Xu Hui and others realized that there was something wrong with the smell inside.

"Are these two really doing their own thing?"

It has been some time since the special envoy arrived in Pengcheng. The contradiction between the official and the subordinate officials gradually emerged. Even if Xu Hui and others did not deliberately understand it, they could still smell the signs with the instinct of officials.

However, no matter how much conflict there is between the official and subordinate officials of the special envoy, it is enough for them to stick to their duties and not to stand for two outsiders. If Yu Liang feels that he can take advantage of the situation and let them surrender, everyone will Although it is not easy to object directly, it is still possible to do things in a positive and negative way and do nothing but do nothing. Then it will be difficult for Yu Liang to do anything.

These thoughts appeared more or less on everyone's faces and were caught by Yu Liang. The eyes of the imperial censor changed slightly.

Sure enough, if I just do things without establishing authority, these people will not be afraid of authority. I have to find a reason to let these Pengcheng people know how powerful I am.

Thinking like this, Yu Liang had another thought.

According to his original plan, this time he came to Pengcheng to accumulate qualifications, but Zhang Ruo interfered and disrupted the plan. However, it was also an opportunity. As long as he showed a stronger ability than Zhang Ruo, it would undoubtedly be an ideal gold-plated trip. .

Therefore, he mentioned Chen Zhi in front of Tao Ya and others, trying his best to win them over, and mentioned Zhang Ruo in front of Xu Hui and others, hoping that Xu Hui and others would express their stance. Unfortunately, it seems that he was too impatient now and has not really It is very immature to be eager to make people take sides no matter what you do.

Yu Liang also realized this.

"If you want to be one step ahead of Zhang Ruo, the easiest way is to surrender the local officials. With their help, it will not only facilitate the investigation of the case, but also influence Zhang Ruo's orders. However, it is not easy to surrender them quickly. Fortunately, I happen to have a card in my hand. If I use this card well, I can kill two birds with one stone."

Thinking of this, Yu Liang suddenly changed the subject: "You can leave the matter of telling Zhang Zheng aside. It won't be too late to explain it to him after I understand the situation clearly."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and the somewhat solemn atmosphere returned to calm.Just when Xu Hui and others thought that the meeting was about to end, Yu Liang said quickly: "I heard that Chen Zhi, a famous scholar in Pengcheng, visited the Archives Library yesterday and solved many cases. It is really amazing. It shows that there are people in Pengcheng. "

The scene suddenly fell silent, and everyone looked at each other a few times. No one spoke easily, because this was said in a haphazard manner, and no one knew the reason. Furthermore, they had all heard the rumors, and they were not sure what Yu Liang's intentions were. Where is it, so wait and see what happens.

Yang Yong was a little surprised, and subconsciously asked: "Chen Zhi went to the Juzang Museum? Why didn't I know? What did he go there for?"

"Don't you know, Magistrate Yang?" Yu Liang laughed, "Then we should learn more about it and reward him."

According to Yu Liang's past experience, if he said this, an official with a position like a county magistrate would immediately express his opinion and say that he would ask about it when he gets back and then what happens.

Unexpectedly, Yang Yong just nodded and said no more, as if everything was as it should be.

This time, Yu Liang was a little confused. He couldn't say many words after that, and he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. But on the surface, he was still calm and calm, and he only showed strangeness inadvertently.

Finally, the breakfast came to an end and everyone wanted to say goodbye. Yu Liang couldn't help but said: "Mr. Yang, why don't you go and ask about the situation? If this matter is true, then it would be wrong for the people below not to report it to you."

When I said this, the style lost a bit.

Yang Yong said matter-of-factly: "Since Mr. Chen has gone, I believe the people below have some considerations in not reporting to me in time. I will know after I go back and ask a little."

Yu Liang was very surprised by this answer. The people below did not report the news. Shangguan learned the news from other channels. It is a very taboo thing in the officialdom. Don't delay.

But Yang Yong's answer was that he didn't care at all. What made Yu Liang even more surprised was that Xu Hui and others also looked indifferent.

Suddenly, Yu Liang figured out the reason.

"Chen Zhi, I really underestimated you!"

So, he said no more, let a few people leave, and then fell into deep thought.

But after thinking about it, Yu Liang shook his head again, and said with a smile: "I'm paranoid, probably because I was influenced by what Guan Xian and Tao Ya talked about, and I care too much about Chen Zhi, so I can take advantage of him if he is capable. , but no matter how capable you are, you will be trapped in the local area after all, and your vision and personality are not enough. For example, this time, when you want to compare with me, you choose the trivia in the county as a breakthrough point. If the situation is different, just use him as a breakthrough point, the realm is different, and the approach is different."

Thinking of this, his heart dropped again.

"However, I have to move faster and sort out the case as soon as possible without leaving any chance to Zhang Ruo."

On the other hand, after Yang Yong left Yu Liang's residence, as soon as he returned to the Yamen, he sent someone to summon the prison history for questioning. However, when the man left, the news he brought surprised Yang Yong.

"Chen Zhi is here again? Are the prison history and the prison pavilion director following Chen Zhi?" This made Yang Yong very confused, "Didn't he go to the archives library to read the archives? It does not involve the core archives of the county government. , it’s all a matter in the countryside, why do the prison history and the prison chief still have to accompany us? Is it because of their reputation and family background? "

Thinking of this, Yang Yong said again: "Call the Zaoli who is on duty at the Volume Collection Hall and let me understand the situation."

"This..." The person who reported the report looked troubled, and finally said, "Except for the Zaoli who guards the county's official records and archives, everyone else has been sent out in this library?"

Yang Yong was even more surprised: "They were all sent out? What's going on? Is there something big going on that requires so many manpower?"

"They said they were going to arrest people," the reporter seemed to know a lot. "There are too many people involved in the case and there are not enough manpower. Before you came this morning, even Liu Jing and others who were recorded in the county were given Transferred."

"Even the swordsmen and pen officials have to send people there?" At this time, Yang Yong couldn't sit still and realized that something was wrong. "How many people did they arrest?"

"I heard that nearly 40 people have been arrested, and the old prison can hardly accommodate them."

More than 40 people?

Yang Yong was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but said: "Is this a big case? A fight in the countryside? How come I don't know about it?"

At this time, the folk customs were fierce, bandits often crossed the border, and the clans were good at fighting with weapons, which is why buildings like Wubao were born. Once two villages fought with weapons, people often died, and there were too many people involved. Over time, the government just let it go. If you go through the process and do it superficially, you won't arrest people at all.

"Could it be that Chen Zhi doesn't understand this rule?"

The person who reported the news smiled bitterly and said: "It was not a fight in the countryside, nor was it a case, but dozens of old cases. Chen Zhi uncovered them all and captured the real culprits one by one."

Yang Yong's eyes suddenly widened.
