Idle courtiers

Chapter 151 The Eve
Shi Yong, courtesy name Shouqing and nickname Jingzhai, was born in Wei County, North Zhili.Jinshi in the 11th year of Jiajing, supervised by Zhongshushe Renli, the censor, the magistrate of Nanyang, the general judge of Binzhou, the prime minister of Nanjing Taipusi, and the magistrate of Pingyang.Promoted to the censor of the capital, governor of Yansui, changed to Minister of Dali Temple in Nanjing, and moved to the right servant of the Ministry of War in Nanjing.The left servant of the army department and the censor of the right capital, the governor of Huguangchuan, are responsible for military affairs.Soon, the left servant of the household department was changed, and he died in office during the Chinese New Year this year.

Judging from Mr. Shi's experience as an official, this is an old inspector who is a symbolic figure in the clean and clear circle of officials.

As his relative, Zhu Xunyan is expected to take the road of speech officer in the future. This time, he will take over the Lianghuai River and Huaihe River, and it is estimated that he will receive Mr. Shi's political legacy.Once the patrol errands are done, one of the six departments can't get out of the job, and since then he has embarked on the fast lane of his official career.

The most annoying thing is that Master Zhu is only 22 years old this year.In modern society, this age is a college student.It is estimated that Zhu Xunyan is just a young scholar with no current affairs. The reason why he has a promising future is not because he won the imperial examination and has a relative who is a high-ranking official.

Zhou Nan couldn't help feeling emotional, they were all in their twenties, how could there be such a big difference in the lives of people?

In his twenties, he was a Jinshi in the new department, and he was patrolling the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River. He didn't need to ask others, he just came to make political achievements.It might be difficult to punish a few Xiaoyu Xiaoxia, just to gain prestige.

Scholars all over the world are in the same family, and Zhu Xun, an official with a serious background, probably doesn't want to move.The Judiciary and the Patrol Envoy are counterparts and have the same business, so it is easy to be singled out by mistake.The hall is full of miscellaneous officials, who are simply standard political victims. No wonder everyone feels nervous.

Zhou Nan also didn't want to be noticed by such picky officials, so he could only stand on the same front with Xiong Tuiguan and Governor Huang for the time being.In any case, let's talk about Zhu Xunbao's reception first.

After leaving the mansion, I was just about to go to "Green Pearl Tower", when I saw Wang Er turning around: "Master Uncle, there is someone from my hometown, it is Master Zhan, who is waiting at the mansion, you should go quickly."

Zhou Nan's heart trembled, could there be news about that matter.

They hurried home together with Wang Er, and when they entered the house, they saw Master Zhan sitting cross-legged in the courtyard.

Zhou Nan didn't talk nonsense: "Master, how about it?"

Master Zhan also spoke concisely: "The imperial court has sent personnel to investigate the case, and you can enter Huai'an tomorrow, and the matter is completed! The county lord ordered me to come to see you, just to ask Mr. Zhou to make preparations."

"Great!" Zhou Nan rubbed his hands excitedly: "Master has brought the boat, and I will take the boat to Caowan immediately and lead the troops to control the relevant witnesses." difficult. "

Master Zhan smiled: "Why do you need Mr. Zhou to go back and forth, you just sit in the city and watch the scenery, and the next thing has nothing to do with you. If the county lord wants to inform you of this news, a letter is enough. To tell you the truth, The Elder has already gone to Caowan."

Zhou Nan realized that the report letter was written by Zhan Tong, and the fat man was the protagonist of this action.Such a matter of extracting important witnesses, people naturally have to personally experience it, and it is necessary to make sure that there is no mistake.

In the end, I was just hunting in the mountains, and those who saw it would have a share and get some benefits.

Thinking this way is indeed a bit frustrating. To put it bluntly, this game is just a battle between the Yan Party and the Yuwang Party.He thinks he is also a character, but he can't even get on the stage of peripheral fighting.

This is also a helpless thing.

Zhou Nan nodded and smiled and said, "Okay, let's tell the county lord that the brothers of the Lin family in Caowan are all my people, especially Lin Aer, who can fight and kill, and can be entrusted with great trust."

Master Zhan curled his lips: "Master Zhou yells to be beaten and killed whenever something happens. He is petty. Scholars of my generation have a calm mind. How can I mess up my position first when something happens."

Zhou Nan glanced at Wang Er who was waiting beside him, and said angrily, "Wang Er, let me ask you, is Xun Xiucai arranging his own official in the city recently?"

Wang Er had been listening to Zhou Nan and Master Zhan talking for a long time, but he couldn't understand a word of what the two were talking about, he only had a premonition that something big was going to happen.

"Back to my uncle, that guy Xun Xiucai is a sour scholar, really hateful."

"Where is he now?"

"It's "Green Pearl Tower"."

It turned out that after Xun Xiucai was captured by the magistrate of the Criminal Justice Department that day, Song Zhifu instructed Xiong Ren to take him as a hostage and forced the Xun family to pay 5000 taels of silver and a large sum of property before the Yang family's matter was properly settled.

Mrs. Ding loves money like her life, Xun Xiucai got into a catastrophe and returned home, fearing that his mother would beat him to death, so he stayed in the city, and it has been a month now.

Xun Xiucai is a person who likes wine and loves flowers. He hangs around the streets and alleys all day long and takes Lvzhulou as his home.

Since Zhou Nan wrote "It seems that this star is not last night, for whom is the wind and dew standing at night." After that, the whole Huai'an brothel has sung this good poem.

Hearing Zhou Nan's poems every day, and seeing the fascinated faces of the women, Xun Xiucai felt uncomfortable. He also remembered the grudge that Zhou Nan hit on the back of his head with an iron tongs. He would talk about Zhou Nan's old things when he met everyone, such as killing friends and taking wives , What a lowly servant background, despicable character.

Zhou Nan: "Catch him later, and send him to the prison of our punishment hall."

Wang Er was shocked, and his expression changed: "Master Uncle. Xun Xiucai is Ding Xianzun's nephew, how dare a villain? If Master Ding finds out, he must be beaten to death by him?"

Zhou Nan said lightly: "Wang Er, I will give you two choices. One, we are still relatives because of uncle Ben's anger; two, if you refuse, get out now. After leaving this door, you and I I don't know each other anymore."

It's true that Wang Er is a loafer, but this kind of people are shrewd and have a bachelor's air.Immediately slapped his chest, and said: "The villain can have today's glory, it is all thanks to the gift of the uncle, and later I will take two confidantes to tie up that Xun Xiucai and send it to the master."

He already figured it out that the reason why Zhou Nan attacked Xun Xiucai was that he and Ding Zhixian had already fallen out.Even if he didn't catch Xun Xiucai himself, he wouldn't be able to stay in the county government in the future.

Zhou Nan's expression eased, "Go, it's done, I will never let you down."

When Wang Er left, Master Zhan asked curiously: "Xun Xiucai is related to this important event, is it a witness?"

"No, I just want to vent my anger." Zhou Nan said again: "Master Zhan, please keep the inspectors, court officials and a few vacancies in Andong County. I ask for the favor of Zhan Xianzun."

He looked up at the sky on the patio again, it was already dusk, the setting sun was just red, and the strong wind was blowing the clouds back and forth.

Zhou Nan had a premonition that if the matter went well, with the support of the palace, he would at least be able to get a seventh-rank official position.

According to the national employment system, officials of the seventh rank or above are not allowed to be officials in their hometown.In other words, after a while, I will leave Huai'an.

The ups and downs of the officialdom may not come back in the future, unless it is retirement.

Before leaving Huai'an, all the family affairs had to be arranged, and relatives and friends had to be placed in important positions in the county government.So, there is also a way out.
