Chongzhen's open life

Chapter 351

The backyard of the Royal Office.

In the hall, Xu Guangqi, who had just returned from the school grounds, had just sat down when he received a message that Zhang Chengye wanted to see him.

Xu Guangqi also knew something about Zheng Fangping's master from the information he received. Generally speaking, although he was doing things for Zheng Fangping, he was not bad.

Except for some things that Zheng Fangping personally did, he can minimize the impact of other things entrusted to him, try his best to complete the things that Zheng Fangping explained, and minimize the harm to the people of this matter, And even though he was Zheng Fangping's master, in Anbu's intelligence, he hadn't touched any of those big and dirty things, and he had only done some forgivable marginal incidents.

So after taking down Zheng Fangping, the master was fine.

After receiving the news, Xu Guangqi was a little strange. It stands to reason that he had just won his benefactor, so what did he mean by finding himself on the back foot? Could it be that he wanted to intercede with Zheng Fangping?

Thinking of this, Xu Guangqi didn't intend to refuse to see him. He also wanted to meet this young man who could stay in the quagmire but keep himself "clean" to the greatest extent, so he asked the housekeeper to bring him in.

Zhang Chengye followed Steward Xu step by step and walked into this place he used to come to frequently, but his mood was completely different from usual.

Along the way, Zhang Chengye kept rubbing his hands nervously. Anyone could see that he was very nervous now. Seeing him, Steward Xu smiled and comforted him: "Relax, my master treats people kindly, as long as you It’s not the kind of people who commit crimes, the master will not embarrass you.”

After Zhang Chengye heard this, he forced a smile and nodded. He said he knew it, but he was still very nervous in his heart. After all, he wanted to meet the majestic Mr. Daming Pavilion. How could he not be nervous when he was able to meet such a big shot?
Butler Xu could also see that his consolation seemed useless, so he shook his head helplessly and did not continue to persuade him, and quickened his pace towards the living room.

Soon, Zhang Chengye arrived at today's destination, and also met the person who made him so nervous that he couldn't control it.

The court elder Xu Guangqi!

"Old man!"

Zhang Chengye saluted respectfully and bowed to say hello.

Xu Guangqi waved his hand: "Okay, there is no need to be too polite, just tell me, why did you come to this old man? If you want to intercede for Zheng Fangping, then you don't need to speak up. He violated the laws of the country and cannot tolerate private affairs!"

Seeing Xu Guangqi straight to the point, although Zhang Chengye was a little nervous, he still remembered the main purpose of his visit today, forcibly suppressed all kinds of emotions, took a deep breath and said calmly: "Mr. Be on guard and beg for mercy."

"Oh? Not for mercy? Then why are you here?"

Xu Guangqi became interested and asked.

Zhang Chengye immediately took out a booklet from his arms, held it up with both hands respectfully, and said at the same time: "Mr. Ge, this is the account book and records of everything that Zheng Shoubei has done since he was transferred to Pingxi Fort. It contains his corruption. Military pay, disaster relief materials, disaster relief money, and all the events and details of the use of money for personal expenses that were embezzled from the imperial court on weekdays.

The student knows that since you dare to take down Zheng Shoubei directly, you must have evidence of his crime in your hand, but in such a short period of time, including the sources of news channels, it must not be as much evidence as the student has here. The students only hope that this booklet can give Mr. Ge a little help, and they are satisfied. "

As soon as the call was over, Zhang Chengye heaved a long sigh of relief, his whole body was drenched in cold sweat, he came here today to block an opportunity, an opportunity that would allow him to rise to the top, whether he succeeds or not, he will fight for it!
Then it's time to wait for the results.

After listening to his narration, Xu Guangqi stood quietly at the same place, did not reach out to pick up the booklet, but looked at Zhang Chengye with his head bowed calmly in front of him.

There was no emotion in those eyes, even if they didn't look at each other, but Zhang Chengye somehow felt that a pair of eyes were staring at him with a great sense of oppression, his breathing subconsciously slowed down, and he tried his best to to smaller movements.

Just like that, after a long time, he suddenly felt that the feeling of being stared at disappeared, and there was a meaningful voice from an old Xu Ge in front of him.

"Oh~ I really didn't expect this, the purpose of your coming today is actually like this, are you worthy of Zheng Fangping's kindness to you?"

Zhang Chengye lowered his head even lower, but he said firmly without hesitation: "The student and Zheng Shoubei only have an employment relationship. He pays the student to do things. At most, it is the relationship between the employer and the employee. The student thinks that he has already achieved the master's job. To the extent that his job should be done, he doesn't feel sorry for Zheng Shoubei.

After all, the student is a scholar, and he can only be driven by the need to make a living, earning two taels of silver to support his family, but the student always remembers that he is a disciple of Confucius and Mencius, and righteousness should be the first priority in everything.

Zheng Shoubei made a mistake. The student has done his duty to admonish him. He has nothing to do if he doesn’t listen to the student, so he can only be alone. Now that the adults are here for the sake of righteousness, the student is also for righteousness. For the sake of the court, the student doesn’t think there is anything wrong with this .

All for Daming! "

Xu Guangqi smiled and clapped his hands slowly.

clap clap...

"Okay! The good one is for righteousness, the good one is for Daming!"

What kind of person is Xu Guangqi? To put it bluntly, people have lived for a long time and have become fine. Naturally, it can be seen that Zhang Chengye is a sloppy person, but he needs this kind of person at this time.

Even though he is a cabinet elder, he is really powerless to let him manage the current Fort Pingxi first. One is that he doesn’t know much about Fort Pingxi. He knew some basic conditions of the place where he took office, but he didn't know anything now, so he had nowhere to start with how to deal with the matter of Xipingbao.

At this time, it is much easier to have a "local person" who understands the situation.

The local people do not refer to people born in the local area, but people from the local forces before. They are familiar with the basic situation of the local area and can handle these situations. Therefore, the first thing many officials have to do is to find people in the local area to support them. Only in this way can we start the next work and gain a firm foothold.

Naturally, Xu Guangqi also had this idea, and Zhang Chengye took a fancy to this, which led to today's scene.

Xu Guangqi took the booklet and flipped through it, and it really recorded everything that Zheng Fangping had done, big and small. Not only that, but everything about Xu Yongda was also recorded. It can be said that He had everything he needed right now, and it was delivered at just the right time.

Smiling in satisfaction, Xu Guangqi slowly put away his smile, looked at Zhang Chengye who was still bowing his head with a serious face and said: "The things are good, and the purpose of your visit is also clear to me, since you have no bad deeds in the past. I promise you, and then you will assist me in handling all the affairs of Pingxi Fort before the arrival of the new garrison sent by the imperial court.

The old man knows a thing or two about you. Now that you are not very old, you should still have some thoughts about the imperial examination. Before the old man leaves, I can give you a letter. This letter can give you fairness, but can you do it? Whether or not you can succeed depends on your own abilities. "

Hearing that not only the purpose of coming here today has been achieved, but also that he had the unexpected joy that he still had the opportunity to splash ink in the examination room without being hindered by those "rules", Zhang Chengye almost passed out on the spot in displeasure.

But his steady temperament still made him suppress the excitement in his heart, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said: "Student, thank you, Mr. Ge! The students will never forget the kindness of Mr. Ge, and will definitely help Mr. Ge to find out the gaps and make up for the stability of the castle." Let the hearts of the people do their best!"

"Very good, you can go back."

His performance also made Xu Guangqi nod in satisfaction, and then he waved off the guests.

"Students leave!"

Zhang Chengye also accepted as soon as he saw a good deal, immediately resigned and left respectfully.

As soon as Zhang Chengye left, the steward came again to report that there was a young man with a sword on his back outside the mansion begging to see him, claiming to be Jin Yiwei.

The butler said, and handed him a waist badge, which was given to him by the young man outside.

Xu Guangqi took the badge and immediately recognized it at a glance. It was Jin Yiwei's badge of hundreds of households, so he immediately asked the housekeeper to bring it in.

Not long after, Xie Xiaofeng, who was carrying Xu Bensheng, followed the butler into the hall.

As soon as he came in, he casually threw the thing he was carrying on the ground, and Xie Xiaofeng cupped his hands at Xu Guangqi and said:

"Jinyiwei Tianziwei Baihu Xie Xiaofeng has seen Xu Ge!"

Although he was saying hello, Xie Xiaofeng's back was straight, and his tone was neither humble nor overbearing, and it didn't look like he was paying respects to a powerful man.

All this is because he is Jin Yiwei, the emperor's pro-army, and the emperor's minion authorized by the imperial power!

There is only one master for them, and that is the current emperor.

And Ge Lao?
Heh, there have been not one or two elders who have fallen into Jinyiwei's hands since Jinyiwei was established, unless Jinyiwei was not being seen by the emperor at that time.

Otherwise, Mr. Ge is a fart!

If I don't catch you, I've already seen you!
Unfortunately, today's Jinyiwei is at a good time to be useful, so Xu Guangqi is naturally worthy of being an elder, even if he is only a hundred households.

This is the confidence that Jin Yiwei, who has a backing, has!
