Start with the humble bridegroom

Chapter 67 The whole army was wiped out?

The rain comes early and the sun is shining again.

Just after breakfast, Zhang Zhe sent Bailu to Luo Mansion.

Huo Bingcheng walked into the inn where Zhang Zhe stayed.

"Brother Jiyuan, do you have time to look for my brother today?" Zhang Zhe was amazed. Today is the Qixi Festival, and if this guy is not accompanied by his new friend Yuxin girl, he came to look for him early in the morning. Could it be that the sun came out from the west?

Huo Bingcheng was startled: "Where does this start?"

Zhang Zhe euphemistically reminded that today is Qixi Festival.

"Qixi Festival? Of course I know, today is the day when my daughter's family reunion is a coincidence, and even Yuxin went to Yinghua Pavilion to find Mrs. Xu for a moon worship party. Today is the most boring day for me to wait for men, my dear brother. Leisurely, naturally there is no such trouble."

Only then did Zhang Zhe suddenly realize that Qixi Festival in ancient times was a festival for his daughter's family, but it was not Valentine's Day for his later generations, and it had nothing to do with him as a man.But just now, he had already sent the prepared gift to Meng Xiaowan called Bailu, and he was thinking of picking her up in the evening and going back to Taowan to watch the moon together.But according to what Huo Bingcheng said, tonight is a good time for Meng Xiaowan to get together with those girlfriends, what a pity, what a pity!
"Yesterday there was a bad storm, did Xinzhi get any news?" Huo Bingcheng closed the door of the room, and began to close the door again.

Seeing his expression, Zhang Zhe knew that Huo Bingcheng was not talking about the autumn rain yesterday afternoon.

"Could it be that the results of other counties have come out?"

Huo Bingcheng pointed at Zhang Zhe and smiled: "The letter is keen! There are not many people who know about this matter, but I don't expect it to spread throughout the seven counties of this prefecture. Believe it, do you know how many counties the Song family has won the case?"

Zhang Zhe has never been fooled by Huo Bingcheng's tricks, he shook his head directly, and didn't even bother to guess.

Huo Bingcheng scolded him angrily: "You are so cunning, you won't even guess!"

Zhang Zhe said with a smile: "In my opinion, the Song family is the best if they can't get a single place."

Huo Bingcheng immediately turned his anger into joy, and showed off in a low voice: "If you believe in what you want, even if you don't hit it, it's not far away!"

Hearing this explosive news, Zhang Zhe couldn't react for a moment.The Song family has made such a big splash, and even used the five families to kill chickens and scare the monkeys. With the background of the Song family in Wuling, how could there be such a disastrous result?

"Brother Jiyuan, are you joking?"

Huo Bingcheng raised his legs triumphantly.

"Who is joking with you? Hehe, the test results of Linshan and Jianhu counties came out the earliest. The county had already received the news at noon yesterday. These two counties have learned from our Taolin and recruited people from other than the two counties. He became the chief of the case. But at the time of the application, the results of the counties came one after another, and I heard that Song Erlang, who was sitting in the side hall of the government office and listening to the letter, was limp all over."

"Brother, don't be too condescending, don't say it quickly," Zhang Zhe poured a cup of tea for Huo Bingcheng angrily, and stuffed it in his hand.

"In the five counties of Xiangzhou, Yanmen, Hanting, Yangtan, and Shanghe, all the criminals are appointed by the government! In the seven counties outside the county, the entire Song family was wiped out."

Hearing the news, Zhang Zhe also took a deep breath, not quite believing the result.

"Xiangzhou, Yanmen, and Yangtan are the roots of the Song family. Not to mention the teachings of the counties, even the parents of the counties have a close relationship with the Song family. I once heard my brother say that the Yanmen, Yangtan The county magistrate of Tan'er County was a confidant of the old man of the Song family when he was the secretary of the city and ships. Such a result is really too appalling."

Huo Bingcheng sighed, and patted his head: "Don't say it's a good brother. When I heard it the first time, I thought it was a lie. I went to the government office in person, found an acquaintance to ask, and I knew it was true. !"

"However, when my brother said that the entire army of the seven counties outside his county was wiped out, what he meant was that the Song family had taken the case leader of Dinghu County, which is attached to Guo in this county?"

Huo Bingcheng clapped his hands: "That's right, is it strange to you? Chen Jiaoyu of the Dinghu School has always used the Fuzhong High School as the leader, but this time he actually selected the Song family as the leader. Not to mention anything else, I just lost 20 taels for this matter!"

Zhang Zhe sorted out the affairs of the county in his mind, and a sudden idea popped up from the bottom of his heart.

He held Huo Bingcheng back: "How is the Song family doing now? What's the government going to do?"

Huo Bingcheng looked at Zhang Zhe in surprise: "The Song family was defeated. Naturally, the back door was wide open, and carts and carts of gifts were delivered to various yamen. What about the government office? When I came, I left Chuaner there to guard Hey, but nothing happened."

"Brother Jiyuan, have you ever thought about who has the ability to make all the counties abandon the Song family and sentence Sun Tongzhi as the chief case?"

Huo Bingcheng shook his head: "How can you guess this?"

"If my predictions are correct, the prefect Yan's illness is probably already cured."

"Believe it, you said Yan Fuzun?" Huo Bingcheng suddenly realized, "Oh, why did I forget this lord. In Wuling County, he is the only one who can do this!"

"However, even if Yan Fuzun spoke secretly, Yanmen and Yangtan counties wouldn't fall so completely, would they?"

Zhang Zhe sighed lightly: "What if Yan Fuzun has secretly agreed to change the storage?"

Huo Bingcheng couldn't believe it and followed Zhang Zhe's thinking.

"In this way, the Fuya's victory this time was actually a deal. The Fuya gained face, but the actual benefit went to the Song family?" Huo Bingcheng couldn't help standing up and turning around.

Zhang Zhe shook his head, but did not answer Huo Bingcheng, because the content of his guess would be too unbelievable.

With the strength of the Song family, such a one-sided result would definitely not happen, and the subordinate officials in each county are connected with the Song family, so the time for the Song family to get the news is definitely not too late.

But it happened that only one Erlang of the Song family slackened his feet in the government office, and didn't do anything else, which was so strange.

According to Zhang Zhe's analysis, with the Song family's behavior style, if they had known the result earlier, the Song family would have mobilized the scholars to make trouble, saying that the exam was unfair.

Then the only possibility is that the deal between the two parties under the water has been reached, and Sun Tongzhi, who can hold down Tie Song's family, is the only one who has been pretending to be sick.

Zhang Zhe believes: the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

It is absolutely impossible for Yan Fuzun to make such a move, if it is only for the Song family's few carts of goods.So, what exactly does this Lord Yan want to do?

The door of the room was pushed open, and Xiao Chuan, Huo Bingcheng's book boy, rushed in sweating.

When he came in, he shouted: "Lang Jun, Yan Fuzun is sitting in the hall!"

Huo Bingcheng pointed at Zhang Zhe and laughed: "Could it be that you have learned the art of Qian Kun Yi!"

"Chuan'er, how did Mr. Yan judge this matter?"

"Returning to Mr. Lang," Chuan'er said calmly, "Yan Fuzun said that such a bet is too absurd. How can the matter of taxation and education be so childish, and he reprimanded Sun Tongzhi's staff and the master of the Song family in the lobby It is only said that the entry into the warehouse this summer has been late for ten years, and it is necessary to handle it quickly, so it is still the Song family's agent, and the same is true for autumn grain. Sun Tongzhi can send people to participate, and the government can also send people to see it. Your lord is already sick."
