Zheng's surname is Zheng Yuan and his courtesy name is Meng Da. He is in his early forties.
He is forty-three years old this year.
I have been an official for fifteen or sixteen years.
These are the information that Shen Yi found.
He only managed to reach the position of Jiangdu prefect after serving as an official for fifteen or sixteen years, which shows that this person has no background, or that he does not have much background.
And being able to get into the position of prefect of Jiangdu, a prosperous place like Jiangdu, shows that although this person has no background, he is very capable and can grab the position of Jiangdu prefect when countless people covet this position.
This kind of person who has no big background and has the means to do business has a very basic characteristic, which is caution.
If you can avoid interfering with things, you will never interfere with them.
"No matter what Zheng does for His Majesty's herdsmen, he will do it as a matter of business."
Zheng Fuzun lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "There is no need for Shen Hanlin to remind you of this, Zheng knows it well."
Shen Yi looked at Zheng Yuan and said with a smile: "In the past few days, there have been constant lawsuits at the county government. Does the governor know?"
Zheng Fuzun shook his head without hesitation.
"It is natural for the county government to deal with the county government affairs. Zheng is not willing to ask."
At this point, he sighed and said: "To be honest with Shen Hanlin, Zheng served as the Shanyin County Magistrate for six years in Yuezhou Prefecture. What is it like to be the Guo County Magistrate? No one can compare with me. It is even clearer that although I have been lucky enough to be promoted to prefect, I am still not very willing to interfere too much in the affairs of the county government."
As expected of someone who has climbed up from the bottom step by step, he is always slippery in what he says and does. Not only can he not grasp the handle, he cannot even grasp the handle.
"As far as Wan Sheng knows, there have been constant lawsuits in Jiangdu these past two days. Many people have gone to sue the Fan family, a wealthy family in Jiangdu, for plundering the people in the suburbs and plundering land wantonly. Mr. Zhang has already concluded several cases, but there are more and more cases. , When I passed by the county government office today, there was already a long queue at the gate of the county government office. This matter..."
"The master doesn't care, either?"
Shen Yi emphasized: "Today it was the Fan family who caused a disability, but tomorrow it may be a murder case. Then the Ministry of Punishment may send people down to investigate, alarming the court, but the governor of Jiangdu does not know about it. Isn't it inappropriate?"
Zheng Yuan frowned.
After a while, he looked at Shen Yi and sighed: "Shen Hanlin, let's have a friendly chat. Zheng will tell you the truth."
"What you fight for is yours, and what you fight against is that I just want to watch and don't want to end up."
It was obvious that Zheng Yuan regarded this incident as part of the political struggle.
Shen Yi shook his head slightly and said: "What the Master said is wrong. The Fan family has committed crimes. As parents, officials should take care of them. It has nothing to do with factions, only justice."
Shen Yi said slowly: "If someone in our academy commits adultery and commits a crime, the palace master will arrest him. The academy will not say a word. If he does, Wan Sheng will leave Ganquan Academy immediately."
Zheng Fuzun lowered his head and drank tea.
"What does Shen Hanlin want from Zheng when he came today?"
"No need for the governor to do anything..."
Shen Yi opened his mouth and said: "A major case has occurred in Jiangdu Mansion. The governor only needs to do his part."
Zheng Fuzun sat in his seat and thought for a while, then he said with a smile: "Of course there is no problem. When Zheng serves as an official, he must do his job well."
As he spoke, he looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "Although Zheng is a foreigner, he has always been yearning for Jiangdu and Ganquan Academy in Jiangdu. It's a pity that when he first arrived in Jiangdu, he only briefly met Lu Shanchang. It is said that Shen Hanlin is a student of President Lu Shan of the Academy. When he has time, Zheng will be a host in Jiangdu City and invite Master Lu to have a meal."
Shen Yi smiled: "Wansheng has to ask his tutor about the meal. If the tutor agrees, Wansheng will be a host in Mingyue Tower one day and invite the master to have dinner."
He knew very well that Zheng Yuan did not particularly want to meet Master Lu, but wanted to get close to the academy and eventually meet Zhao Changping and Zhao Shangshu in Jiankang.
For Zheng Yuan, a fourth-rank local official, and Zhao Changping, the minister of household affairs, the legs are too thick, and they may not even be able to be hugged!
However, Shen Yi has no say in whether or how to use the academy's resources. He needs to discuss this with Mr. Lu, otherwise he will appear "ignorant."
After saying this, Shen Yi took out an invitation from his sleeve and handed it to Zheng Fuzun. He smiled and said, "I came here to see Zheng Fuzun today because I want to give you this invitation. I will be born on the 16th of this month." We are getting married. If your Majesty is free, please come to us."
Shen Yi checked some information about Zheng Yuan. This Zheng Fuzun had a good official reputation.
Therefore, he is a trustworthy person.
Seeing this invitation, Zheng Fuzun stretched out his hand to stroke his mustache, which was not too long, and accepted the invitation with a smile.
"It is rare for us in Jiangdu to have a Hanlin Duke. Mr. Zheng will definitely be there when the time comes."
Shen Yi stood up and cupped his hands towards Zheng Yuan.
"That being the case, I won't disturb the official's office since I'm late. On the sixteenth of this month, I'm waiting for you to arrive."
The little fat prince smiled and nodded: "I will send it to Mr. Hanlin."
With that said, he sent Shen Yi all the way to the door of the government office. After watching Shen Yi go away, the master of the government took out the invitation from his sleeve, opened it and took a look.
When he saw the word "Lu" on it, he squinted his eyes, put the invitation back into his sleeve, and then looked in the direction Shen Yi left.
"Tsk..."
The master of the palace shook his head and muttered: "What a grudge..."
After saying this, he couldn't help but shook his head and said with emotion: "These people in the academy are really untouchable. If I had known, I would have tried to find a way to get into an academy, maybe I would have been able to get along better... "
………………
The days passed day by day.
Mr. Zhang from the county government is an expert in solving cases.
Every case, as long as it involves the Fan family, can usually be concluded within a day or two.
For a time, Mr. Zhang became famous, and there were rumors in Jiangdu that he was the reincarnation of Qingtian, and that he was Jiangdu's Qingtian Grand Master.
What everyone doesn't know is that the reason why the county magistrate was able to resolve the case so quickly was because he had evidence in his hands, evidence of the Fan family's evil deeds.
And privately, there is an intelligence team from the Di Press Department that has been providing him with relevant information and even relevant evidence.
As Mr. Zhang's reputation grew, some people in Jiangdu City finally saw some clues.
At this time, the news that Fan Shilang was transferred to Guangxi as Inspector has also spread back to Jiangdu. Some discerning people understand that this time the Fan family...
There is no longer any protection in the court.
As a result, more people came to the yamen gate to complain. Some were really bullied, and some were just adding insult to injury, hoping to step on the Fan family and gain some benefits when they were in trouble.
By November 15th, someone had already filed a murder complaint at the Jiangdu County government office!
Both murder cases involved the Fan family.
Mr. Zhang took it very seriously. He immediately asked the execution chamber to file a file, and then sent an official to investigate the relevant situation.
When it comes to murder cases, the decision cannot be made by the local yamen, but will most likely be reported to the Ministry of Punishments together with the prefect yamen.
In other words, the Fan family's affairs will soon be brought to the court again.
Just when the county government was extremely busy, the Shen family in Jiangdu was also extremely busy.
In addition to the main family, the Shen family has hundreds of people from various branches. Most of them are helping in the Shen family mansion at the moment.
because…
The new scholar of the Shen family, the Hanlin Duke of the Shen family!
Tomorrow, we are getting married!
