Six days after Shen Yi returned to Huai'an, the supervisor Yuan Tan finally arrived.
Although he came in a sedan, the journey all the way made Yuan Fuxian feel quite tired. After getting off the sedan, he kept beating his back.
After Mr. Yuan beat his back for a while, he looked up and saw an official in official uniform standing in front of him.
Although this official had a beard, he could still be seen to be very young. When he saw Yuan Tan getting off the sedan, he stepped forward to greet him, held his hands in his hands and saluted, "I'm going to be the magistrate of Huai'an, Zhang Jian, and I'd like to pay my respects to Vice-President Yuan."
If it is an ordinary official, when welcoming the deputy censor of the capital, he will generally not call him "Vice-Xian". After all, it is not nice to lead a deputy. Let's simplify it and call him "Xiantai", and everyone will be happy to hear it.
However, Zhang Jian had no such concerns and was not very willing to flatter him, so he still called him Vice-President.
Yuan Tan was not angry, he just looked Zhang Jian up and down and said with a smile: "Is the Palace Master a descendant of Prime Minister Zhang?"
Zhang Jian forced out a smile: "My ancestor has bid farewell to the court for many years, and he is no longer worthy of being a prime minister."
Yuan Tan suddenly became enthusiastic, stepped forward and pulled Zhang Jian's sleeves, and said with a smile: "What do you mean by this, my dear brother? Zhang Xiang has held the country for many years and has a great reputation. He is a model for all officials."
"I'm not afraid of my good brother's jokes. When Yuan first became an official, he visited Prime Minister Zhang many times. Unfortunately, he only had the opportunity to meet Prime Minister Zhang twice."
Yuan Tan said with emotion: "If I had been lucky, Brother Yu would have been a disciple of Prime Minister Zhang."
Hearing this, Zhang Jian was thoughtful, then suddenly smiled at Yuan Tan and said, "I don't know which Xianggong is Yuan Fuxian now?"
Yuan Tan was stunned when he heard this, then shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Brother Yu has admired Prime Minister Zhang all his life and takes Prime Minister Zhang as a role model. Since my wise brother asked, then Brother Yu will tell the truth."
"Yu Xiang and Brother Yu are from the same hometown. A few years ago, they passed through his old man's family, and now they can barely be regarded as Yu Xiang's disciples."
Yuxiang...Yufang, one of the five phases.
This Yu Xiang's name may sound a bit feminine, but in this era, most of the characters using the word "Fang" are men.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jian immediately understood and said with a smile: "The Vice-President's rapid rise to prominence in recent years is really enviable."
Yuan Tan's promotion speed was too abnormal. If he relied on himself, it would be difficult for him to achieve such a speed of promotion. Therefore, Zhang Jiancai did not hide anything and directly asked him which prime minister he had met.
Yuan Tan gave a bitter laugh, shook his head and said: "Xian brother, Yu brother is already forty-five years old this year. At this age, you are only lucky enough to be in the third rank. By the time Xian brother you are forty, I am afraid that you will have already entered the middle school to worship the prime minister.
"
Having said this, he paused and asked: "By the way, may I ask my dear brother's cousin so that I can call you by my name next time we meet."
Zhang Jian smiled and said: "The cursive character is Yi'an."
"Brother Yi An."
Yuan Fuxian's tone became more affectionate. He pulled Zhang Jian's sleeve and said with a smile: "Brother Yu has never traveled far. This time I am in Huai'an. Please take care of me, brother."
At this point, the communication between the two people was quite friendly. Zhang Jian smiled and nodded: "I would like to ask the Deputy Xian to take more care of me."
The two walked side by side, and after chatting for a few times, Yuan Tan remembered and asked: "By the way, does Xiandi Yi An know where Mr. Shen is? Brother Yu has the emperor's order. When he arrived in Huai'an, he wanted to go to Mr. Shen.
Just say hello."
Zhang Jian squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "Shilang Shen left Huai'an three days ago and went to Xiangshui Camp for official business. However, he said hello before leaving and he should be back today."
"Shilang Shen's imperial envoy's residence is not far from the official's government office. The official has prepared a banquet in the government office. The deputy secretary will have dinner with him at the government office first. After Shiro Shen comes back, it will not be too late to go to the imperial envoy's residence."
Zhang Jian was the great grandson of Prime Minister Zhang, and even Yuan Tan couldn't bring shame on him, so he could only nod his head and agree, and the two of them went to the prefect's Yamen together.
…………
Towards the end of the afternoon, Mr. Shen rushed back from outside the city. After returning to the imperial envoy's headquarters to briefly understand the situation, Shen Yi changed into casual clothes and came to the prefect's Yamen.
As soon as he entered the front yard of the government office, and before he could go to the backyard, someone informed Zhang Jian. Zhang Fuzun, dressed in official uniform, walked out of the backyard. After seeing Shen Yi, he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a wry smile: "Zhang Jian
Heng Ke is finally back. Talking to this Yuan Fuxian is really exhausting. You can just go and entertain him. Brother Yu can't entertain him."
Shen Yi smiled and asked: "What happened, brother?"
"Too much narrow-mindedness."
Zhang Fuzun shook his head helplessly: "You have eight thoughts in one sentence. When talking to him, you have to think carefully about every word before saying it. It's really tiring."
"In my yamen, the things that have been piled up all day have not been dealt with. I have gone to work. Ziheng, you can entertain him yourself."
Speaking of this, Zhang Jian was about to go to the study to "work" when he suddenly remembered something. He asked: "Zi Heng rushed to Xiangshui a few days ago. Did something happen?"
Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "It's just some minor matters. They have been taken care of and will not interfere with anything."
He smiled and said: "When I left Huai'an, part of the reason was to avoid this Yuan Fuxian. After all, he and I are both third-grade officers, and he is a military supervisor. It is not appropriate to welcome him or not, so I might as well go out and hide."
Zhang Jian shook his head helplessly: "Zi Heng is also very clever."
After that, he shook his head and went to the government office's study room to deal with things.
And Shen Yi came to the backyard of the government office and met the Lord Supervisor.
At this time, Yuan Tan was already a little dizzy from drinking. After seeing Shen Yi coming, he quickly stood up and saluted Shen Yi: "Shilang Shen is here."
Shen Yi also held up his hands and smiled: "When did the Vice President arrive? I originally wanted to go out of town to welcome the Vice President, but I never thought I would go out on business for a few days and missed it."
Although Yuan Tan drank a lot at this moment, he didn't drink too much after all. He smiled and said: "I heard from Brother Yi An that Minister Shen went to Xiangshui Camp. Is there anything wrong with Xiangshui Camp?"
Hearing this title, Shen Yi was slightly startled, then realized it, shook his head and said: "There is no big problem, there is a small thing, I have already dealt with it."
"Small things are good, small things are good."
Yuan Fuxian said with a smile: "As a supervisor, I am also a little frightened, for fear that something will happen to our Huai'an army."
He burped and said: "By the way, Minister Shen, since I have arrived in Huai'an, in a few days I want to walk around the various camps along the Huai River, take a look, and record what I see and hear.
Otherwise, after arriving in Huai'an, my eyes will be darkened. When I return to Jiankang, not to mention that it is difficult to keep my position as deputy censor, I am afraid that it will be difficult to keep my former minister of Dali Temple."!
"Of course there is no problem."
Mr. Shen nodded happily and said with a smile: "The Vice President will rest in Huai'an for a few days. After a few days, I will personally take the Vice President to the major camps along the Huai River to take a look at them all."
"Then let's just say it."
Yuan Fuxian smiled and said: "In a few days, I will go to find Minister Shen."
At this point, he looked at Shen Yi and suddenly said in a confused voice: "Senior Minister Shen, Brother Yu heard on the road..."
His face was still full of alcohol, and he said: "A hundred households on the eastern front of the Huai'an Army raped an orphan girl..."
After hearing this, the smile on Shen Yi's face finally froze.
Three or four days ago, he rushed to the Eastern Front to deal with this matter.
A hundred households affiliated with the Eastern Front raped an orphan girl whose parents died last year due to the immigration of Qi people.
Even Shen Yi only knew about this news three or four days ago. Three or four days ago, Yuan Tan was still on the road, so it was impossible for him to know.
Then the truth becomes obvious.
It was the internal guard who informed Yuan Tan.
Mr. Shen glanced at Yuan Fuxian thoughtfully.
He knew in his heart that this was the supervisor, or the court, or His Majesty the Emperor, giving him a small "disdain".
It is also a reminder.
Remind Shen Yi that the inner guard and Yuan Tan are in communication.
Mr. Shen was silent for a long time and did not answer directly. He just said in a muffled voice: "Those hundred households have been dealt with."
"Brother Yu, I heard about it."
Yuan Fuxian said with a smile: "Shilang Shen's treatment is a bit too harsh. There are many bachelors in the army, and the orphan girl has no one to rely on, so we can simply let them match her for marriage."
Shen Yi looked calm.
"If we don't be ruthless at this time, this kind of thing will happen again and again in the future."
Mr. Shen exhaled a breath of foul air.
"I also have to do it."
Those hundreds of households were rectified by him.
Yuan Fuxian stood up and saluted Shen Yi: "Shilang Shen governs the army strictly."
"Yuan Mou admires him."
"Don't dare to take it seriously."
Shen Yi returned the favor with a smile on his face.
