Chapter 353 Another three fooled
Nowadays, if you are a county magistrate, if you are a bad-hearted person and plan to make money, and then be willing to give money in large amounts, and don’t want to be promoted to the court. Instead, you use the position of the governor or the supervisor as your life goal, then life will undoubtedly be easier.¥f.¥f However, for literati who have pursuits, or officials who have pursuits, even if the capital officials are poor, the dignified governor or even the governor will have to bow to the Minister of Personnel when he returns to the court. Who doesn’t want to sharpen his head and return to the court? Zhou County Zun is such a pursuing official. Although the first official failed to stay in the office but released the county magistrate, his goal is to go to the highest official who is not a Hanlin who can be the Minister of Personnel.
But now, he has only been in the official career for two years and has encountered such a major case. How could he not feel sad and angry?
Seeing Zhouxianzun's situation, Wang Fulin added fuel to the fire and added a few more words: "Countyzun, although I just arrived in Hankou Town, I have also inquired about the matter of fighting for a dock in Hankou Town. There are often casualties and injuries. However, the merchant gangs on both sides often try to suppress and try their best to avoid making things bigger. The victims often receive relatively generous pensions. This kind of thing that follows the wind and rain, and runs to the other people's yard to burn paper for attention in the middle of the night to burn paper for attention has never happened. It seems that someone knows that Countyzun and I have some misunderstandings, so they deliberately instigate people to do this. I wonder if it is the enemy of Countyzun?"
He endured it and told himself again and again not to show his emotions in front of his younger generations. But when Zhouxian Zun heard Wang Fulin ask his enemies directly, his face changed drastically. Finally, he couldn't help but be angry. He slapped the handrail and four words burst out from his mouth: "It's too much!"
The two masters on the side suddenly shrank their heads, and they all tried to persuade them. But one failed to see that there was no grudge between Wang Daoguan and Wang Daoyun. Instead, they had a good relationship. The other went to meet Wang Fulin yesterday to ask for peace. But they did unnecessary things. Anyway, they all caused trouble, so they naturally didn't dare to interrupt. Sure enough, the next moment, they only heard Zhouxianzun say, "Please help me look outside, don't let the idle people come in, and this county talk to Mr. Wang alone."
It seems that Zhouxianzun is not as stable as he seems on the surface, otherwise how could he just make a judgment based on his own and leave him to speak alone?
Wang Fulin was just a test. Although he didn't know if it was really related to Zhouxianzun, he was very satisfied with the situation. Even if someone really planned to plot against the newly appointed Wang Daokun, he would have no harm in inciting Zhouxianzun to rush forward. Anyway, for Zhouxianzun, who was eager to get promoted and smart and capable, this incident was a great blow.
"Mr. Wang, I am really sorry about Lingzun's affairs before. Lingzun has a bit of a straightforward personality, and he will inevitably offend people in the county government..."
Before Zhou County Zun finished his apology, Wang Fulin stood up and bowed, "County Zun. I said at first, I came to apologize today. Now you say that, I am ashamed of myself. All the mistakes of Huo Xiucai. The County Zun was also blinded. I can tell you clearly. This is not my fault. Therefore, in this farce last night, someone wanted to take the opportunity to instigate me, so how could I be deceived? County Zun is the magistrate of Hanyang County, and has already gone through a lot of hardships. There is also a Hankou Town under his jurisdiction, which is even more difficult. If you want to blame, you can only blame the bad custom of fighting for the wharf, and you can only blame someone for instigating trouble."
"Mr. Wang is indeed clear. Brother Wang has a son like you, which makes me envious." Now that Wang Daoyun has turned into a governor's clan brother, Zhou County Zun put away the three words "Master Wang" and replaced it with Brother Wang who shows closeness. Seeing that Wang Fulin had no objection to this title, he expressed humility towards himself, Zhou County Zun further narrowed his relationship, "Don't worry, Mr. Wang, since Xiucai Huo has a bad record, I will also personally give it to the Grand Master of Education, and I will definitely ask for strict requirements!"
"Then I would like to thank Zhou County Master." Wang Fulin bowed with a smile, and then said, "If the County Master needs it, I can send someone to secretly send the woman who burned paper last night to the county government office. As for me, I will set off with my parents back to Huizhou tomorrow morning, and say goodbye to the County Master first."
Zhou County Zun left Wang Fulin, of course, not just to apologize for the previous incident, and then throw Huo Xiucai out and sell it, but I hope Wang Fulin will speak first. However, Wang Fulin said directly that he was leaving. He didn't care about the reserve and hurriedly smiled and said, "Why should Mr. Wang be so anxious? It's the first time I'm in Huguang, I should also walk around..."
Realizing that his excuse was a bit stiff, he thought about his current bad situation and could only show an extremely sincere attitude and said: "Although Hankou Town belongs to Hanyang Prefecture and is under the jurisdiction of my Hanyang County, the major merchants are mixed with personnel, and this county is really unable to do it. Most of the wealthy merchants in charge of Xin'an Wharf are not from Huguang. The county wants to ask Mr. Wang to see them on behalf of the county and tell them the pros and cons. I wonder if Mr. Wang can do it on his behalf? If Mr. Wang can agree, the county will immediately assign Mr. Ma and Mr. Liu to Mr. Wang. As for the woman, they will ask them to ask. The county has one term in Hanyang. If Mr. Wang comes to Hanyang again in the future, the county will definitely help him with all his strength."
In the yard outside the study room of Zhouxianzun, Ma Liang and Liu Qian stood face to face, both far away from the entrance of the study room, so as not to turn around and suspect that they eavesdrop. Although many county magistrates will take charge of the masters in office these days, it is not a conventional rule, and it is not so easy to meet the boss who is rich and can give him a deep trust. The two of them have been in this business for six years and eight years. Zhouxianzun is already a very good boss, and they are even more familiar with them.
But this incident undoubtedly cast a shadow on their good guest-host relationship.
"Where is the miscalculation..." Ma Liang rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, and asked Liu Qian in a low voice, "What do you think the county master and this Wang Fulin will discuss? Can this big case be really suppressed?"
"I don't know." Liu Qian was upset and grabbed his beard and cursed in a low voice, "Wang Daoyun is such a pedantic and slow person, and he gave birth to such a cunning son! However, the county magistrate is not a fool, and he will never tell him who he has a grudge with. Otherwise, if the boy Wang turned to contact that person, wouldn't the county magistrate be angry to death?"
The two of them exchanged opinions in a low voice. They were resourceful in the past, but they were a little discouraged. The reason is very simple. The interests of those merchants are too entangled, and many merchants are worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. It is very simple to destroy the county magistrate, but it is okay for you to destroy the family. The problem is that those merchants often get married. If you break five or ten, you try it? The merchants can eat you alive!
"It's out!"
The sharp-eyed Liu Qian saw the door open. When he saw his Zhouxianzun sending Wang Fulin out with a smile, he couldn't believe his eyes. The county zun's smile was different from the ordinary fake smile. It was so brilliant that it was a little too bright. He never laughed like this even when he was satisfied with his son's exam. When Zhouxianzun waved to him, he suppressed these thoughts and rushed forward. He was stunned after hearing what Zhouxianzun said.
"Mr. Ma, Mr. Liu, and the armed fight in Xin'an Wharf is extremely concerned about this county, so I entrusted Mr. Wang to take you two to the Hui merchant offices on Xin'an Street to find out what happened. Mr. Wang's trip represents this county, and you will listen to him in everything!"
Wang Fulin expressed his satisfaction with the results of this visit to Hanyang County. Not only did he reach a friendly consensus with Zhouxianzun, but he also obtained two helpers like Ma and Liu. Of course, whether they were willing or not is completely negligible. After he returned to the inn in Hankou Town, Wang Daoguan had personally sent Wang Daoyun and Wu's wife back. He had originally booked the next day's boat, but since Zhouxianzun had already made such a request, he was a little scared to go back to Huizhou with two strange parents, and now he naturally brought this matter out.
"Your father and I will go back first. How many days do you have to stay in Hankou Town for business?" Seeing Wang Fulin nodding, Wu frowned, "Since it's only a few days, your father and I will wait for you."
Wang Fulin glanced at Wang Daoyun and saw that the father, who clearly regarded Hankou or Hanyang Mansion as a sad place, showed approval. He immediately persuaded: "Dad, mom, it's not that I don't want to go back with you. Xin'an Wharf had just had a big fuss before. Maybe there would be some problems in the near future. At that time, the water route could not be taken by land, and the journey would be hard. In addition, the second mother and the younger sister were waiting for their parents to be crazy at home. If you go back one day earlier, they would be able to reunite with you one day earlier. In addition, Jin Bao will be taking the exam for the childbirth next year, and Dad can also go back to tell him the key points for the exam."
In the final analysis, if your father and mother don’t leave quickly, he will not be able to perform well!
After his persuasion, Wang Daoyun finally nodded reluctantly: "Since the ship is booked, let's leave tomorrow." He wanted to continue asking what Wang Fulin was staying in Hankou Town, but found that Wang Fulin was looking around with Wang Daoguan, clearly communicating. He had to swallow the problem back, but he felt a little angry. He was obviously a father, but Wang Daokun, the brothers Wang Daoguan trusted Wang Fulin more, which was really depressing!
After arranging the departure of his parents and elders, Wang Fulin immediately pulled Wang Daoguan out of the yard as soon as he left the house. When he explained what happened last night in a few words on the road, Wang Daoguan laughed loudly: "It's true that it's Fulin, but if you follow the flow and agree with it, and then make another strange injustice, you might be able to perform a more classic show than those Tang legends. Brother is a good player in writing dramas. When he strokes his pen, you will become famous all over the world in the blink of an eye. It's a pity that you missed this opportunity!"
Wang Fulin glanced at the inappropriate Master Wang Er and said angrily: "Since Master Wang Er feels it's a pity, that girl and her mother will be given to you to take it back to see Mr. Nanming. I'll say goodbye!"
"Hey, hey, I'm just kidding." Wang Daoguan quickly stopped Wang Fulin, looked around and whispered, "I've heard about the fight at Xin'an Wharf. I'm worried. You have to have a way to solve it. My brother said that he will convince your father and let him let go of your marriage. I don't believe it. Your temperament can stand the orders of your parents and matchmakers."
Wang Fulin was speechless. He could not take other exchange conditions seriously, but this one... he really pinched his seven-inch, but he was not afraid of anything else, just afraid that his father would cause trouble! Wang Daokun was really cunning!
