Chapter 465 Shen Ziyi is in Difficulty

Jingzhou finally sent back the news.

Chu Xian, the acting governor, finally became a regular governor and became the real governor, in charge of Liangzhou.

This news was not unexpected, and to Chu Xian, it didn't mean much. On the contrary, this news let Chu Xian know that his plan was successful.

The death of Prince De was handled in a completely low-key manner. Neither the royal family nor the Shoufu Pavilion caused any disturbances in this matter, let alone any disturbances.

It was as if Prince De died of a normal illness.

But in fact, the turmoil behind the scenes has already stirred up, and it will definitely intensify. The incident may not be too long ago.

But at least, if it can be delayed for a few years, it will be delayed for a few years.

The boundary of Liangzhou has always been windy. During the day, when the sun is scorching, it is so hot that people will collapse. After nightfall, under the bright moon, it is so cold that people feel like falling into an ice cave.

Naturally, this kind of place is not suitable for farming food, so the territory of Liangzhou is still dominated by animal husbandry. As the governor of Liangzhou, Chu Xian has recently been worried about one thing.

Coincidentally, Haizhou, which is thousands of miles away from Liangzhou, also has a person who is worried at the moment.

Mu County, Haizhou
This is a county near the sea in Haizhou. Although it is a county, it has a large area and dense population. It can be regarded as one of the most important counties in Haizhou.

Since it is a heavy county, the position of the county magistrate here is also a fat job. The officials in Haizhou, I don’t know how many people are staring at them, but just a year ago, after the original county magistrate was promoted, the county magistrate’s seat was taken. When I was free, I don't know how many people tried their best to make connections and do various activities to win this seat.

Including the county magistrate of Mu County, the chief secretary, and several other county officials at the same level, but no one expected that in the end, it was not one of them who sat on the county magistrate of Mu County, but an outsider. young officer.

At that time, it caused an uproar, which made these people unhappy.

But the deal is done, even if they are dissatisfied, they have nothing to do, but this year, although the new county magistrate is also very diligent, the series of policies that can be implemented are really unpredictable. After all, if the county magistrate could be resigned or transferred because of this incident, wouldn't they have another chance?
In the county magistrate's mansion in Mu County, Zhao Yanzhen's face was as frosty. Hearing the reports from the servants around her, she became more and more angry.

At this time, the door opened and Shen Ziyi came in.

"Ma'am." Shen Ziyi looked tired. After all, as the county magistrate of Mu County, he had too many things to do every day. Although he was tired, Shen Ziyi felt that it was worth being tired. This was a rare experience.

At that time, Chu Xian suggested that he come down to practice and increase his experience. Only now did Shen Ziyi understand the significance of doing so. It can be said that having such an experience has had a great effect on his career. Also improved ability.

Of course, Shen Ziyi is not the kind of second-generation official who only relies on his family to do things wrong. He came this time to greet the governor of Haizhou through his uncle, but he did not report his background and origin, that is to say, No one knew that he was Xiao Yu's nephew.

Naturally, no one knew about Zhao Yanzhen, the daughter of the Minister of War, and no one recognized him.

Over the past year, both of them have been very low-key, and they have managed the Mu County properly.Seeing Shen Ziyi coming back, Zhao Yanzhen rushed to meet him. Although her heart was higher than the sky, since she was married to Shen Ziyi, she would think of Shen Ziyi in everything. At this moment, her face was still angry, and Shen Ziyi asked what happened when she saw him.

Zhao Yanzhen said: "Isn't it because some people are spreading all kinds of rumors behind your back, saying that the reinforcement of the coastal defense that you have been promoting is a waste of money, a waste of money, and a foolish government. , you have worked so hard this year, and you are tired and thin. Why do they still say that? I have to let someone find out who is chewing their tongues behind their backs. Let me know, and I have to pull out their tongues one by one .”

At this moment, Zhao Yanzhen was gnashing his teeth like an angry tigress.

Shen Ziyi laughed: "Why bother with some gossip!"

Zhao Yanzhen shook his head: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate these gossips. Sometimes, these gossips are more lethal than knives, and can kill people. If you don't want to think about it, this gossip will intensify. How could there be no pusher?"

Shen Ziyi thought about it carefully, and then nodded: "Madam is right, but for strengthening the coastal defense, I, Shen Ziyi, have a clear conscience, why should I be afraid of these gossips?"

Zhao Yan was really anxious: "That's right, but according to Mu County's past practice, husband, you have indeed invested too much in coastal defense. Let's talk about silver taels. In the past year, only three dollars were spent on coastal defense. 5 taels, but after you took office, you suddenly raised it five times, 15 taels a year, which is indeed too easy to provoke people's tongues."

Shen Ziyi's eyes widened at this time: "I think 15 taels is too little, and ten times it is about the same. What's more, the coastal defenses built now are much stronger than before. If nothing else, just talk about the improvement of moisture resistance. It is several times higher than before, and it is stronger, and there are magic circles to avoid water, each of which costs money. These are all used on the blade, and they are not even enough. There are 10,000+ taels in it.”

Zhao Yanzhen said: "Of course I know, but other people don't know, they say that you, the county magistrate, are pocketing their own money. After hearing these rumors, you have already gone to the city mansion. I am afraid that some villain will make trouble and plot against you secretly." .”

Shen Ziyi thought for a while and said, "Even if someone plots against you, don't be afraid. As long as the coastal defense is built according to my requirements, that's fine."

Zhao Yanzhen was still puzzled: "Husband, what are you doing for this? Why do you have to pay for such a thankless thing yourself? The coastal defense you built is useless here. Why bother?"

Shen Ziyi smiled mysteriously at this time: "Ma'am, don't ask about this matter, listen to me, you are right, and the matter of coastal defense is related to the lives and wealth of the people. There are more than 20 people in Mu County. Everywhere, if there is no coastal defense, once there is a hundred-year-level tide, there will be countless casualties, but with this level of coastal defense, what are you afraid of?"

Zhao Yanzhen said again: "Of course I know, but the sea area where Mu County is located is an embedded sea, and there have been no big tides in the past thousand years. If you do this, it is simply thankless and useless."

Shen Ziyi thought about it at this time, and said in a low voice: "Of course I also know about this, but if I tell you, someone instructed me to do this, do you believe it?"

Zhao Yanzhen was anxious and angry: "If someone really says that, then he is trying to harm you."

"No, whoever hurts me, he won't hurt me." Shen Ziyi looked confident at the moment.

"Someone really told you that? Who is he?" Zhao Yanzhen asked, and just as Shen Ziyi was about to finish speaking, a person suddenly broke into the outer door and said in a panic, "It's not good, magistrate, it's not good, The clerk of the city mansion is here, and it seems that he is here to ask the teacher for his crimes."

When Shen Ziyi and Zhao Yanzhen were stunned, someone had already broken in.

The one who took the lead was a proud official with the attitude of a superior official, and beside him, there was another official with a serious face and a murderous look on his face. Behind him were more than a dozen soldiers.

At first glance, the visitor is not good.

Shen Ziyi was naturally calm. He asked his servants to step aside, and then stepped forward to salute: "Isn't this the Lord Wang of the city mansion? I don't know how to make a sudden visit. What advice do you have?"

After finishing speaking, Shen Ziyi glanced at the people in front of him with a kind of power.

After all, he is a son of an official family from Jingzhou. Of course, Shen Ziyi's bearing and upbringing are nothing to say. In Muxian County, he is simply an outstanding existence. The hostility and jealousy of few people.

The Lord Wang on the opposite side smiled and said: "Magistrate Shen, I am here to see you today, of course I have something to do. The person next to me is Chen Yushi of the city."

Censor?

Shen Ziyi naturally knew what the censors did. Generally, those stationed in various places were to monitor the censors, that is, to monitor and investigate the existence of officials from various places.

Under the supervisory censor, there are also some small censors, which are distributed in the city government at all levels. The Chen Yushi in front of him should be such a person.

Shen Ziyi is not stupid, these people are not kind, and it is estimated that there is nothing good about it, but Shen Ziyi is not afraid of the shadow, so he is not afraid at all: "I don't know what advice Mr. Wang and Chen Yushi have?"

Over there, Chen Yushi guessed that he was used to being arrogant on the side of lower-level officials. After all, county magistrates everywhere would be afraid when they saw him. There is a most guilty feeling.

But Shen Ziyi was neither humble nor overbearing at the moment, probably because Chen Yushi, who has always been arrogant, felt slighted, so he immediately scolded: "Shen Ziyi, what did you do, don't you know? Come on, let's embezzle the people's hard-earned money first." The dog officer took it down."

Immediately, the soldiers behind were about to step forward.

Zhao Yan was really in a hurry, Shen Ziyi hurriedly grabbed his hot-tempered wife, and said to Mrs. Wang and Chen Yushi: "You two came here suddenly, and you can't help but say that you want to arrest someone. How can you say that Shen is also a seventh-rank county magistrate? Even if you made a mistake, you still have to list the crimes and show the evidence, do you really think that I, Shen Ziyi, are easy to bully when you take people like this?"

To be honest, Shen Ziyi wasn't afraid of any censors, not to mention anything else, just the personal guards he brought and the masters around Zhao Yanzhen, let alone a dozen soldiers, even if there were several times more, he would not be able to take him down.

It doesn't matter anything else, but Shen Ziyi definitely can't let others put shit on him.
