Ping An Biography

Chapter 26 The left eye is big and the right eye is small

When Hu Ying sent Wang Qinian, his deputy, to the Secretary's Office to explain the matter, Zhang Ning was working as usual.

How difficult can the work in the mail room be, besides, his colleague Huang Shiren and the clerks didn't make things difficult for him; it's just sitting for a long time without doing anything, feeling cold and stiff, the weather in Dongyue is already cold, Yin God is even worse.Many people have already started to sleep on kangs at home, and the charcoal in the yamen is also in place, but the superiors say that in order to save supplies, they will not start burning charcoal until the twelfth lunar month.

Huang Shiren knew Wang Qinian, and knew that the annotator was often by Shangshu's side. When he saw him coming in, he hurriedly got up to greet him, "What do you want Mr. Wang to do?" Zhang Ning didn't know him, but he was wearing a large patch with a white pheasant pattern. Qingpao Guanfu knew that he was probably an official of the fifth rank, and the official was older than himself, so naturally he couldn't just sit and greet him. In fact, almost all the officials in the Ministry of Rites were older than Zhang Ning.

By visual inspection, Mr. Wang is less than 40 years old. He is fat, with a double chin and a thin beard.Darren Wang said: "Hu Butang needs someone to help him with some official business. Ping An will temporarily put aside the affairs of the Secretary's Office tomorrow, and the Secretary's Office has to be managed by Huang Siwu alone."

Huang Shiren didn't react to answering. He looked a little surprised, and he was probably thinking: Zhang Ning is going to be promoted so soon?

Zhang Ning asked: "I don't know if the next official is competent, I'm afraid I will miss the official duties of the department hall."

Wang Qinian glanced at the door at the back of the hall: "Borrow the copy room of the Secretary's Office, let's talk inside."

Zhang Ning bowed slightly to Huang Shiren, and entered the copywriting room with Wang Qinian. There was no one in the room, and there were only shelves where documents and copywriting were placed in different categories.

There was not even a place to sit, so the two stood and talked.Wang Qinian said: "The emperor handed over an imperial case to Hu Butang, and the office of Jinyiwei is where he handles the matter. You know, the Jinyiwei Yamen is on the southwest side of the Ministry of Rites, facing the south gate of the Department of General Administration. There are people from the three judicial departments, and the Ministry of Rites goes to Apart from Hu Butang, there are only you and me." He took out a document from his cuff and handed it over, "You don't have to go to the Ministry of Rites tomorrow, and go directly to Jinyiwei. Let's take a look at the Qin case file first. The records of the trial process will also be stored in the future; but some things need to be brought back to the Ministry of Rites and put in the secret file room, there is no need to inform the three justices, Hu Butang will directly report to Emperor Chen."

"Yes..." Zhang Ning nodded with some doubts. He didn't know what was causing the mystery, but since it was an order from Shang Shu, he could only obey.

Wang Qinian said: "On this matter, let's talk about any problems at that time."

After coming out, Wang Qinian didn't stay in the Secretary's Office and left soon.Huang Shiren clasped his fists with an envious smile when he saw that the person had just left the house and said, "Congratulations to Ping An, I'm afraid you have been promoted!"

"Misunderstanding, Mr. Wang is short of people for work, and he just asked me to work temporarily. How can we talk about promotion?" Zhang Ning shook his head hurriedly.He inadvertently thought of Zhang Ning who had boasted before the provincial examination that he would pass the national examination...Of course he is not someone who likes to show off in public that he must be promoted.

Huang Shiren curiously asked him what he was doing. Zhang Ning only said that he was probably in charge of copywriting and the like, and it was not clear yet.Seeing that he was not in high spirits, everyone said a few words, that's all.Then go to work, chat a few words in your free time, and when you get along, everyone greets each other, and they break up and go back to their respective homes. The life of a small official is probably so boring.

As usual, Zhang Ning rode his donkey back to his house in Zhutao Lane, Huanghuafang. He ran into Luo Yaoniang as soon as he reached the entrance of Lvshi Hutong.In addition to her, there is also a "citizen", a guy with big left eyes and small right eyes, and a character-shaped eyebrow. Who is Wang Zhen, the neighbor of Zhang Ning's hometown?Wang Zhentong was a student in Shangyuan County, but Zhang Ning didn't have much contact with him. The impression he had of him was that the last time I met him in the alley of his house, he teased a child with a candied radish to be called daddy.

Wang Zhencai was in his thirties, with many forehead lines and wretched face, his dusty appearance made him look dirty; looking at Luo Yaoniang next to him, Bai Shengsheng's face was clean and beautiful, with slender eyebrows, Red lips and white teeth, even though it is just light makeup, it is very delicate, and the red and green sleeves are decorated dignifiedly.Such two people together, no matter how you look at it, it's awkward.

"Miss Luo... how did Wang Maocai get together with Miss Luo?" Zhang Ning did not hide his surprise.

Wang Zhen looked very depressed, looked at Zhang Ning's official uniform and said quietly: "Now I am wearing a sinful body, Mr. Zhang, don't call me Maocai, just call me Wang Zhen."

Luo Yaoniang curled her lips and said, "Zhang Ping'an, you have the nerve to accept Yu Qian's favor! I don't want to talk to you anymore, but Wang Mao is your fellow villager, and I have nothing against me, so I kindly brought him to you. "

Here Wang Zhen said he was wearing the body of a crime, what crime was he wearing?Over there, Luo Yaoniang said that she brought someone over to find her.Zhang Ning was a little confused and asked, "How did Wang Maocai find Miss Luo?"

Luo Yaoniang said: "Didn't you write a letter to your family last time? The person who delivered the letter told your family the address of our family. Wang Maocai was going to Beijing and asked for the address. He doesn't know where you live. Only Come to me and ask."

"So that's how it is." Zhang Ning glanced at Wang Zhen, and said to himself that you and I hadn't spoken a few words before, but now you seem to be very familiar with each other... However, I met a neighbor from my hometown in another place, and according to the traditional concept of dealing with things It's not good to ignore it completely, after all, people around will judge a person's character through words and deeds.He asked Wang Zhen: "How did Wang Mao take the crime?"

Wang Zhen said bitterly: "Didn't Aunt Li's house be caught in a fire, and she insisted on planting the blame on me, saying that I set the fire. If I didn't run fast, I would have been taken to the county government jail. "

Zhang Ning was stunned: Did you set the fire that night? !

As far as framing, Aunt Li's family has nothing to do with the government; on the contrary, Wang Zhen is a student who has the right to speak in the government, and ordinary people are not opponents of students in lawsuits.Why did the magistrate of Shangyuan County frame a student for no reason?The county magistrate thought that his official career was too smooth.For a student to lose a lawsuit in front of Bai Ding, it is nothing more than conclusive evidence.So Zhang Ning judged that the fire must have been caused by Wang Zhen.

Why did he set fire to Aunt Li's house?Zhang Ning suddenly remembered that little incident that night. Wang Zhen was teasing a child to call him father, but was caught by Aunt Li, who viciously called him a heavenly eunuch... Wang Zhen was married for more than ten years and had no children. Rumors, scolding is indeed a bit too much.That's why he set fire to it?

Thinking of this, Zhang Ning had to look at Wang Zhen with admiration, he could really do it.Narrow-minded and ruthless, Zhang Ning had this impression in his mind... When dealing with such a person, unless he can get him down once and never turn over again, it is best not to offend him; there is a saying in the world, It is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a villain.He could burn down the house with a single curse, but what would happen to him if it was something else?

Zhang Ning echoed calmly: "I'm afraid that Wang Maocai was wronged. I don't believe that you set the fire."

Wang Zhendao: "That's not true! Then Aunt Li is a troublemaker. The burning of her house alarmed the government. She was afraid of being accused and poured dirty water on others."

Zhang Ning said: "Then what are your plans now, do you want to get the county magistrate to interrogate again?"

"Forget it, I thought about it before I came to the capital. I don't need to pay attention to this matter. I have other considerations..." He glanced at Luo Yaoniang, "Do you have a resting place there? Let me know your plans."

Zhang Ning noticed that he looked at Luo Yaoniang full of embarrassment, and felt a little abnormal in his heart: It is reasonable for a beautiful woman standing in front of him, and she is so kind to him, but any normal man is somewhat secretive?

Zhang Ning didn't like Wang Zhen, and he didn't have any friendship. Zhang Ning was very unwilling to take him home.But in this place, which is more than 2000 miles away, Wang Zhen is also a neighbor, so it is really difficult to do too well, and Zhang Ning does not want to offend this person; think about the fact that there are only two handymen assigned by the Ministry of Rites at home. It doesn't matter, Wang Zhen will never be unfavorable to him, and I have no grievances or enmities with him.

"The house is relatively simple. If Wang Maocai doesn't mind, there is room." Zhang Ning narrated without emotion.

Wang Zhen's face was filled with joy: "I don't care about the current situation. Ping'an is a joke! You can't thank you enough for taking me in. I'm still from my hometown when I'm away from home!"

Zhang Ning smiled and said: "That's good, there is always hot water and hot rice, let's go back and talk about it when we go back." He looked at Luo Yaoniang, cupped his hands and said, "Our fellow has caused trouble for Miss Luo, but we have to Thank you."

Luo Yaoniang said in a slightly sour tone: "Forget it, I am kind, and I have to be appreciated."

She is probably still thinking about the last time Zhang Ning rejected the yard she rented. It's no wonder Zhang Ning, why did he accept a gift from a girl without a name?What would Yang Shiqi think?

Zhang Ning said: "To clean up the wind and dust for the fellow villagers at night, Ms. Luo will show her face and sit down?"

Luo Yaoniang snorted coldly: "Are you speaking politely, or are you expecting me to decline?"

Zhang Ning couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly said: "Wang Maocai is a fellow. He doesn't think my house is simple. If you don't like it, just take it as a polite word."

"The words don't make sense to you!" Luo Yaoniang raised her red lips and said angrily, "I really can't understand your fake appearance, I'm going to take a look today, what's wrong?"

Zhang Ning said: "It's an honor, Miss Luo, please get in the car."

So Luo Yaoniang rode in her own carriage, Wang Zhen rode Yang's horse, Zhang Ning rode a donkey... If it wasn't for the official uniform he was wearing, he would have been of the lowest status.

Pass through Lushi Alley, and Zhutao Lane is at the farther east corner.Most of the alleys on this Qingshiban road are residential houses, inhabited by ordinary people in the market, peddlers and pawns. The origin of the name is that many oleanders are planted in the courtyards, but the branches are bare in the current season, and there is really no scenery.
