high official

Chapter 159 Black Pot
Wang Xianwan didn't expect that he would sign a house in the prefect's yamen in Jinhua, and meet Zhou Xin, the procurator of Zhejiang, with a cold face!
"Meet your lord from a humble position!" Wang Xian hurriedly bowed down.

"There is no need to be formal." Zhou Xin said lightly: "Sit down and talk."

"Yes." Even though Zhou Xin wore a green cloth robe and dressed up like an ordinary teacher, the sense of oppression did not diminish at all.Wang Xian knew that he didn't like nonsense, so he sat down obediently.

"Are you surprised to see me?" Zhou Xin didn't sit upright, but sat down on his left.

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded and said, "But it's not too surprising, after all, adults in Taiwan have always seen their heads and tails..."

"Hehe..." Zhou Xin said with a half-smile, "Then why should I see you alone?"

"You can't guess with a humble job." Wang Xian smiled wryly.

"It's not that you can't guess, you dare not say it." Zhou Xin said coldly: "If you have any doubts in your heart, just say them out, I am here to answer your questions."

"I don't dare to speak in a lowly position, and I dare not ask." Wang Xian was acquiescing.

"Indeed..." Zhou Xin's immobile face showed empathy, and he said bitterly: "But the reward of eating the king, the matter of being loyal to the king, one can only put personal honor and disgrace aside... "

Wang Xian didn't look at him, but lowered his head and said, "If you have something to say, please speak."

"Hehe, you are really cautious." Zhou Xin said with a smile that was not a smile: "Before Hu Jie'an went to Fuyang, he went to Hangzhou first, and had a secret talk with me." Jie'an is Hu's name, Wang Xian raised his head when he heard this , looking at Zhou Jietai with resentful eyes, Zhou Xin couldn't help laughing again: "I didn't trick you, so don't blame good people."

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded, and then heard him continue: "But Hu Yun did ask me about your evaluation. I answered truthfully..."

"..." Wang Xianxin said, as expected, he was still cheated.

"Later he told me that he would meet you in Fuyang, and if it was suitable, he would send you to Pujiang County as a pianist." Zhou Xin said to Wang Xian, "You must be very puzzled, why do you have to be a little kid?" Official, come to shoulder such a huge responsibility?"

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded and said: "The humble job is so puzzling, I really can't figure it out."

"That's right." Zhou Xin smiled and said, "This is what Hu Jie'an wants."

"So that's how it is..." Wang Xian suddenly realized, it turned out that Hu Yan deliberately let himself, the number one official in the south of the Yangtze River, come to Pujiang to be the pawn history!He also worked for the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, in fact, to create suspicion and attract the attention of those people!After a pause, he asked in a low voice: "Where is the real soldier..." Before finishing speaking, Wang Xian shut up, because this question is too stupid...

"That's right, I'm the real soldier." Zhou Xin said with a wry smile: "The winter before last year, I was originally appointed as the Jiangnan inspector, but before the trip was completed, it was changed to Zhejiang Lianfang. It turned out that when Hu Jiean reported to the emperor, he said That person should be in Zhejiang, so the emperor temporarily changed my job. When His Majesty gave his speech, His Majesty personally entrusted me with the task of finding someone..."

Looking at Mr. Han with a cold face, Wang Xian felt a sense of sympathy... Who made you so flirtatious at ordinary times, and was called a contemporary Mr. Bao, who would you look for if you weren't looking for this time?So people, high-profile people will die early, if they can't die this time, they must be low-key and low-key in the future!
"So after I took office, I kept making private visits." Zhou Xindao: "Everyone thought I was secretly investigating officials and visiting unjust prisons. In fact, it was just a cover-up. I have traveled all over Zhejiang in the past year. There is only one real purpose...that Just looking for someone."

Hearing Zhou Xin's words, Wang Xianmao suddenly realized, and asked: "The missing persons case, did the adults notice it?"

"That's right." Zhou Xin nodded and said, "I discovered it. But before that, I already suspected Pujiang County, because this place is really suitable for that person to hide."

"Hu Jie'an searched for a few years before, but ignored Zhejiang. Because everyone thought that the man would hide far away, but who knew that he hid in Zhejiang, which was really unexpected." Zhou Xin continued: "But in fact When people are in fear, they tend to flee to places they think are the safest. Once they focus on Zhejiang, they will soon find that there is no better hiding place in the world than Pujiang.”

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded, indeed.When that person was in office, Zhejiang's heavy taxes were abolished and scholars were vigorously promoted, which made Zhejiang Province full of favor for that person.And Pujiang has a family of loyalty and filial piety sealed by the Emperor Taizu, courtiers he can trust in times of crisis, terrain that is easy to hide and transfer, and is not far from the capital...At least psychologically, it will make him feel safe, And will not be completely overwhelmed by the sense of failure.

"Since that's the case, why did you refuse to do it so long and still pretend to be me?" Wang Xian asked regardless of his identity.

"The reason is very complicated." Zhou Xin said slowly: "First of all, that person is like a frightened bird, ready to flee at any time, so you can't startle the snake. Send you a small history, although they will be suspicious, but in fact The next is still stable, because the Zheng family is too strong in Pujiang, too strong in Zhejiang, they will not take you seriously. And they are all focused on you, so they ignore the real danger... Time, taking advantage of the Zheng family's attention, is on you, I have already completed the arrangement and sealed off the passages for that person to escape."

"Both, the Zheng family is so powerful that it can provide the best protection for that person. It is impossible for us to catch that person without sending out an army. But the army's mastery is unknown, because the court has long declared that the person is no longer alive, even if When Hu Jiean sought him, he also had to look for Zhang Sloppy's name. Therefore, there is no reason why the imperial court could not mobilize troops to surround Pujiang."

Although Zhou Niantai spoke slowly, Wang Xian was sweating through his clothes. It turns out that the army must be mobilized in the end!

"Third, the entry of refugees this time is actually not easy. The Hangzhou government has done its best, and there should not be so many refugees." Zhou Jietai resumed his usual seriousness: "And this time the number of refugees reached ten. Wan, there must be some kind of force behind it."

"Mingjiao." Wang Xian said lightly.

"That's right." Zhou Jietai nodded heavily and said, "Mingjiao has always acted in a low-key and secretive manner, but this time it made a big move. The reason for sending troops is that when Lian Mingjiao takes the Zheng family, it will be done in one go!"

Wang Xian couldn't help gasping, he finally realized what it means to kill and kill a big man, it means tens of thousands of lives...

"I understand." At this point, Wang Xian still doesn't understand. It turns out that Hu Qinchai asked him to be the history of Pujiang, not to find someone himself, but to do his duty as a history of the Pujiang—— If you discover Mingjiao, report it in time!

"Of course, this is the worst plan." Zhou Xin sighed softly: "If you could find that person before then, this killing might not have happened."

"It seems that the adults in Taiwan and the imperial envoys have not expressed any hope for this." Wang Xian said coldly.

"It's about the stability of the country. It's impossible to pin our hopes on anyone." Zhou Xin said lightly. "Even if you kill all the people in one county, it is worthwhile to save the people in the other [-] counties from swords." After a pause, he said, "If you want to save the people in this county, try to find that person. .”

"Actually, my lord... wants to save the people in Pujiang, right?" Wang Xian said softly, "That's why your lord wants to see me!"

"..." Zhou Xin's self-mockery that had been hanging on his face disappeared at that moment. He looked deeply at Wang Xian and said, "It's good to be able to kill fewer people. In fact, Hu Jie'an thought the same way. He asked you Didn’t this kid who can always create miracles come here just for comfort?” He sighed deeply, not hiding his entanglement, and said: “I have been in office for [-] years, and I have never been so disturbed like today...”

After Zhou Nietai finished speaking, his face became cold again and he said: "Don't take it too seriously, after all, no one expects you to find him, and when the time comes, you will still follow the plan..."

Wang Xian had already recovered from the shock, and asked calmly: "I still don't understand why Mr. Hu added me. Without me, it doesn't seem to affect the overall situation!"

"Because none of the ministers who came over from the previous dynasty wanted to bear the name of regicide." Zhou Xin was upright and did not hide it: "But you are a newcomer, and you wore crotch pants ten years ago. This reputation is not worth it to you. Notoriety, on the contrary, will make you go straight up!"

Wang Xian couldn't help cursing in his heart, it turned out that they were preparing to take the blame for him!

He had repeatedly weighed various results long ago, and knew that if he credited himself with this achievement, Emperor Yongle would definitely reward him greatly, and it would not be too much for him to be promoted to ten levels.But those civil servants who were nostalgic for the old master did not dare to settle accounts with the emperor, but they would definitely put the account on themselves, and sooner or later they would find a chance to kill themselves.

It is estimated that Emperor Yongle will also be willing to use himself, an insignificant guy, to appease the grievances of the civil servants...

So this treacherous bastard, Hu Yan, stole someone else's wife, but made himself an adulterer, what a bastard!

.

Seeing Wang Xian's troubled expression, Zhou Xin said, "It seems that you don't want to bear this stigma either."

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded, looked at him earnestly and said: "The reason why the old man told me that there must be a way to save me from the fire."

"The solution is for me to take the blame, and I can still stand it." Zhou Xin said slowly: "But the premise is that you can find that person in advance to avoid this massacre."

"..." Wang Xian knew that the overall situation was like this, and there were too few choices left for individuals, so he could only respond in a low voice.

There was silence in the inner lottery room. After a long time, Wang Xiancai said in a low voice again: "Actually, if you are looking for someone, Jinyiwei is better at it. A lowly job is just a little clever two knives."

"This is the last thing I want to tell you." Zhou Xin said in a deep voice, "Remember, don't let Jin Yiwei find that person in advance." , can’t let Jin Yiwei succeed, remember it.”

"Why?"
