marquis of jingan

In order to have a good communication with the prefect of Lin'an, Master Shen first went back to the house and changed into a blue robe, and then followed the prefect Chang out of the inn, and was invited by the prefect Chang to a restaurant in Lin'an city.

When we arrived at the restaurant, a table of banquets had already been arranged, and seven or eight main officials of the Lin'an Mansion had also arrived. Chang Zhifu invited Shen Yi to the table, and said with a smile: "Shen Xianggong, the vinegar fish from the West Lake in this restaurant, It is the best made in the whole Lin'an Mansion, when you come to Lin'an Mansion, you should try it anyway."

Shen Yi entered the table with a smile, and after sitting down, he first glanced at everyone present.

These Lin'an government officials are all vacancies.

And there are no particularly young officials, basically all over the age of 35.

Because of their age, although these people were smiling on the surface, they must be feeling uncomfortable with Shen Yi, a young imperial envoy.

But no matter how upset they were, there was nothing they could do about Shen Yi. After Mr. Shen sat down, he looked around at everyone, and then said with a smile: "This official came to Lin'an Mansion because I actually have some errands to do, and I didn't intend to disturb Lin'an. The government yamen, I didn't expect to alarm you, I really feel a little sorry."

He raised his wine glass, glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "Come, I offer you a toast."

Master Shen is an imperial envoy.

Although his imperial envoy is mainly responsible for the suppression of the Japanese along the coast, and his scope of functions does not include Lin'an Prefecture, but an imperial envoy is an imperial envoy. Shen Yi's walk outside now represents part of the emperor's functions. These local officials must respect him.

Therefore, when Shen Yi toasted, these local officials stood up one after another, raising their glasses with both hands in return to Shen Yi.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Chang Mingyuan saw that Shen Yi was smiling and looked easy to talk, so he squeezed a smile on his face. He first toasted Shen Yi, and then asked with a tentative smile: "Mr. Did you go swimming in the lake this afternoon?"

"Yes."

Shen Yi glanced at him indifferently, and said with a smile: "If Chang Fuzun didn't talk about it, I still can't remember it. I saw the West Lake for the first time this afternoon, and I wanted to take a tour of the West Lake. So he asked his entourage to find a boat and wandered around in the lake. Unexpectedly, not long after entering the water, there was a big boat next door provoking him. "

"It is rumored that Lin'an Mansion is a place of blessing and goodness. Why is the law and order so poor?"

After saying this, Shen Yi caught a glimpse of Chang Fuzun's complexion, so he reached out and patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "But don't worry, Chang Fuzun, I have been working in Zhejiang for more than a year. , I still have some feelings for Zhejiang, I will only investigate the culprit in today's matter, and will not involve the local government."

"It won't implicate Changfu Zun either."

Chang Zhifu raised his head, glanced at Shen Yi with a smirk, then glanced back at the official behind him, coughed, and said: "Today's meal is almost done, everyone should go back first, this official and The imperial envoy has other matters to discuss."

These are all officials from Lin'an Prefecture. When he, the magistrate, spoke up, these people immediately got up and bid farewell to Shen Yi.

Not long after, there were only two people left on the wine table.

Chang Fuzun blushed a little, lowered his head slightly and said: "This kind of thing happened in the land under the rule, and Shen Xianggong laughed."

He picked up the wine glass and sighed: "I will apologize to Mr. Shen."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and said solemnly: "Changfu Zun has been taken over by others. This Lin'an Mansion is a rich place with more than a million people. Even if the Fuzun is the chief constitution, how can he take care of everything? There are one or two Villains, it’s not surprising, if there are villains, they should be punished according to the law, and the lord of the government doesn’t have to blame himself.”

Chang Fuzun sighed: "To be honest with Mr. Shen, it was the young master of Zhou Futai's family who accidentally bumped into Mr. Shen this afternoon. Mr. Zhou was taken away by the people around Mr. Shen this afternoon, and there is no news so far. , Zhou Futai happened to be not in Lin'an, so I came here to ask Mr. Shen for favor, please show me your favor, and spare Mr. Zhou this time..."

"what?!"

Master Shen turned pale with shock.

"The person who shot an arrow at Shen this afternoon is the son of Governor Zhou's family?"

Chang Mingyuan took a meaningful look at Shen Yi, then sighed, lowered his head slightly and said, "Exactly, there are three young masters in Zhou Futai's family, and the two of them..."

"That's really bad!"

Shen Yi's face changed slightly, and the smile on his face also disappeared. He said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty in Chang's Mansion doesn't know something. A certain Shen is a fifth-rank official. How can there be any accompanying people around him? Because some time ago, Shen was in Yueqing. Was assassinated once by Qi people, and almost died in Yueqing, so the imperial court sent a team of internal guards to Shen..."

He looked at Chang Mingyuan and smiled wryly: "Chang Fuzun is a senior in the officialdom, so he should know better than me what the origin of the inner guard is."

"This afternoon, I really didn't know that person was the son of Zhou Futai's family. Seeing them being taken away by the inner guards, I also felt relieved, so I didn't say anything to stop them. Now..."

Master Shen heaved a long sigh, with a helpless expression on his face: "The inner guards are haunted, and now I have nowhere to look for them."

He frowned, with a look of worry on his face: "The inner guard is His Majesty's pro-army, and he is very good at interrogating people. Now I am afraid that Mr. Zhou will say something that should not be said out of fear. If so, Chang Fu Zun should also know that the news of the inner guards goes straight to the imperial court..."

Shen Yi's face was serious: "If His Majesty is really alarmed, His Majesty will be charged with a complete crime..."

Even Chang Mingyuan, an old oily man in the officialdom, frowned at Shen Yi's coaxing and deceiving words. He looked up at Shen Yi for a while, then lowered his head slightly and said, "Mr. , Zhou Futai dotes on this son very much, you should help him no matter what, Zhou Futai will return to Lin'an tomorrow, and he will thank you in person when the time comes!"

Speaking of this, Chang Mingyuan hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head slightly and said, "If there are any difficulties in this matter, Mr. Shen might as well tell them all. If the subordinate officials can do it, I will definitely do it for you. If the subordinate officials cannot do it, I will do it for you." , the governor’s office will try its best to do it for you..."

This sentence meant to ask Shen Yi to make an offer.

No matter how much or how much it cost, the government offices at both levels of the provincial government agreed to Shen Yi as much as possible.

Master Shen took a look at the Chang Zhifu, then blinked his eyes: "Master Futai is very concerned about Zhou Futai's family affairs."

Chang Mingyuan was also very helpless.

To be honest, no one would be willing to do this kind of butt wiping.

He also can't help it.

Several officials in the provincial government, the chief envoys under the governor's platform, and the inspectors are all provincial officials, only half a rank lower than the governor. It is impossible for those two to lower their value to wipe the governor's ass like this things.

drop in price.

Then counting and counting, he is just right for the prefect of Lin'an.

"As an official in Zhejiang, it is natural to share the worries of the governor..."

Chang Fuzun arched his hands to Shen Yi and said: "Please also invite Shen Xianggong..."

"Raise your hands high."

"I've told you all about it, it's not about my high hand."

Master Shen rolled his eyes, and then said: "Well, tomorrow... um... I have something important at noon tomorrow, so let's go tonight. I will meet with Zhou Futai in the evening and discuss with him how to deal with it properly. Before this matter, I tried my best to contact the inner defenders to resolve the misunderstanding as much as possible."

He was going to meet foreigners at noon tomorrow, so he really didn't have time to argue with these Zhejiang officials.

Shen Yi looked at Chang Mingyuan, and asked with a smile: "What do you think of Chang Fu?"

Hearing Shen Yi's words, Chang Mingyuan felt a little angry.

Co-authoring with you, a fifth-rank Beijing official, do you think the master, a fourth-rank provincial magistrate, is not worthy of talking to you?

Master can come to see you, a lucky minister, it is already giving you face!

But on the bright side, it still can't happen.

Chang Fuzun squeezed out a smile on his face, forced a smile and said: "Shen Xianggong came to Lin'an, Zhou Futai naturally met him, but tonight, can you send Mr. Zhou back first, so as not to..."

"In case he says something wrong with the inner guard."

"I'm afraid it won't work today."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and said lightly: "It's too late, and I can't find where the inner guard is."

Seeing Shen Yi's virtue, Chang Mingyuan also lost his temper. After a moment of silence, he stood up silently, cupped his hands to Shen Yi and said, "In that case, I will not disturb Mr. Shen to rest."

"Farewell sir."

Changfu Zun turned and left.

Master Shen looked at the back of him leaving angrily, first smiled, and then curled his lips in disdain.

"I don't know what to do."

Shen Yi snorted.

"If the master is in a bad mood, I'll join you too!"
