Wang Yuan led two hundred troops to Dongchang Mansion in a furious battle.
The county magistrate of Liaocheng in Fukuofu City was trembling with fright after hearing the news, thinking that his corruption in previous years had been discovered. He walked around the county office and said anxiously: "The official butcher Wang Er is here, he must be here to kill him." Mine, Ru Zhi Nai He!"
A close confidant comforted him: "It seems that the people killed by Bachelor Wang are not in the past. What's more, the county is honest and upright, so what are you afraid of him doing?"
"Yes, yes, I am honest and upright!" The magistrate nodded repeatedly.
Even if you are not honest, you have to be honest. The seat of this magistrate is within the city of Dongchang. There is an iron-fisted magistrate suppressing him.
The name of the prefect of Dongchang is Li Jue. He was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Hongzhi. When he was the county magistrate, he dared to accept the case of Wei Guogong seizing civilian land. He was imprisoned for offending Liu Jin (Wei Guogong bribed Liu Jin). Later, when he worked in the Ministry of Punishment, he was known as "solving cases like a god" .
After Dongchang Mansion was captured by rebels, Li Jue was urgently promoted to prefect.
As soon as he took office, he forced the wealthy households to provide money and food, used work as relief to repair the dilapidated city walls, and built several bridges to facilitate the passage of the people.
This man is an infrastructure maniac. Historically, he built wherever he went. At the same time, he also had a fiery personality. Later, he became the prefect of Xuzhou and personally led the army to exterminate the big thieves. He couldn't wait for the Queen of Autumn to ask for execution, and tried the most evil ones by himself. The faces of the people in Xuzhou were directly burned to death!
In eight years, Li Jue was promoted from county magistrate to magistrate entirely based on his political performance.
Before Wang Yuan entered the city, his master had been waiting for him for a long time, and he said in a tough tone: "Master Wang, Master Li has an order not to allow your two hundred soldiers to enter the city. As for those who committed crimes, they have been interrogated and imprisoned." The leader of the prison is Cao Liang, the general magistrate of Dongchang Prefecture, and there are also a number of officials."
Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Prefect Li is so quick to take action!"
The master then said: "Master Li has said that although Academician Wang holds a sword, the affairs of the Dongchang Prefecture are under the control of the Dongchang Prefecture. There is no need to bother Academician Wang to draw his sword."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Wang Yuan laughed and said, "In that case, I must go and pay a visit."
The master replied: "Master Li has said that if Master Wang doesn't believe him, he can go directly to the prison to interrogate the criminal. As for meeting, there is no need. Master Li does not want to see Master Wang."
Wang Yuan felt that this prefect was quite interesting, and said with a smile: "If you don't see me, you will see me. Please bring me a message, saying that Wang Er is offended."
Linqing Prefecture is also under the jurisdiction of Dongchang Prefecture. Wang Yuan killed people on Li Jue's territory without even saying hello to the prefect. He would definitely not be happy when he met someone with a tough temper.
As for Li Jue, he happens to have a bad temper and prefers the weak to the strong.
Wang Yuan didn't care about the matter, but felt that Li Jue was very suitable for him. He immediately asked the censor who reported the news to go to the cell to verify the situation, and he led his troops back to Linqing by boat.
Government office.
The thirty-three-year-old young prefect asked the master who came back to report: "Is Wang Er gone?"
"Let's go." Master replied.
Li Jue asked again: "Is he unhappy?"
The master said: "This man, like the governor, is a minister who is responsible for his duties and does not want to waste time. The governor caught the corrupt official and saved him a lot of time. He must be very happy in his heart."
Li Jue's mood is quite complicated.
On the one hand, he appreciated that Wang Yuan had the courage to do things and was the same type of person as himself.
On the one hand, he envied Wang Yuan's decisiveness in killing and wished he had such power.
On the one hand, he hated Wang Yuan for causing trouble in his territory without consulting him in advance.
So far, Wang Yuan has not come to Dongchang Mansion to pay homage to the dock, nor has he gone to Jinan Mansion to communicate with the chief officer of the Third Shandong Division. The entire communication was through letters. Although the tone was for discussion, it was no different from issuing orders.
This move made the Third Division of Shandong and the prefect of Dongchang so angry that they were unwilling to get involved in Linqing Prefecture's water conservancy project and did not take the initiative to provide any help to Wang Yuan.
"You are still young and energetic." Li Jue sighed with emotion, and his words were filled with envy.
Li Jue also wanted to do what Wang Yuan did, but unfortunately he didn't have the support of the emperor, so he often couldn't be an official as he wanted.
The master smiled and said: "Master Fu, maybe you can keep in touch with Academician Wang."
Li Jue had a very tough temper and said disdainfully: "His second sage is in a prosperous state. If I take the initiative to contact him, wouldn't it mean that I am deliberately currying favor with him? That's not what a gentleman would do."
This guy is also high-spirited and has never suffered any setbacks.
He was born as a third-ranking Jinshi, and was not a commoner. He was directly sent to work as a county magistrate. Under normal circumstances, his promotion was very slow. But when Liu Jin was in power, he actually dared to offend Wei Guogong and Liu Jin at the same time, which instantly made the whole court aware of the situation.
His name is: Between the fall of Liu Jin, he was directly promoted from the county magistrate to the official wailang of the Ministry of punishment, and then to the doctor of the Ministry of punishment and the prefect!
Of course, it is hard to say whether he will be promoted or demoted when he is transferred from a doctor in the Ministry of Justice to a magistrate. It is more like directly expelling him from the court in the name of being promoted to two levels in a row.
But for a third-ranked Jinshi to become a magistrate in eight years, it is definitely rare in the officialdom.
Next, it’s time to accept a beating from society.
Because Li Jue has no one in the court, he will probably keep working in the local area, and it will be difficult for him to become a court official in this life. Making friends with Wang Yuan is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for him, but it is a pity that Li Jue does not bother to do so!
The master sighed secretly and stopped trying to persuade him because he knew Li Jue's temper.
When the master left the study, Li Jue sighed with emotion. He didn't want to get close to Wang Yuan. In fact, there was another reason. He was a little afraid of Wang Yuan's integrity, or he was ashamed of himself!
Li Jue is also greedy, otherwise how could he afford to support his master? He is just less greedy. Last year, he embezzled three hundred taels from the repair of the Dongchang Mansion city wall - compared to most officials, he is already considered an upright official, but
There is no comparison with Wang Yuan.
Thinking on his heels, everyone knows that Wang Yuan must not be greedy, otherwise he would never dare to go around killing people with Shang Fang's sword.
"What a great Wang Erlang, I am ashamed of myself." Li Jue murmured to himself.
Another official was much more calm. Li Chongsi, deputy envoy of Shandong Military Preparation, personally sent the last batch of victims to Linqing. In other words, the refugees, who were not accepted due to various reasons and did not have enough to eat, gathered in Jining. Now they are all
He was thrown to Wang Yuan as a laborer by Li Chongsi.
In history, Li Chongsi and Wang Yangming were the two heroes who put down the rebellion of King Ning.
One year before King Ning's rebellion, Li Chongsi strengthened defenses in Nanjing and placed Yang Rui in the strategic location of Anqing. If not, King Ning's rebels could have taken Nanjing directly, and how could Wang Yangming have the time to calmly respond?
Moreover, Li Chongsi and Wang Yangming lied at different locations at the same time and claimed that the imperial court had sent an army of 100,000 troops. The two evidences frightened King Ning to the point of losing his IQ, and he frequently made major strategic mistakes after that.
Because of this, the two later became close friends, and Li Chongsi also helped Wang Yangming regain his official position in the Jiajing Dynasty.
While delivering the victims, Li Chongsi also reminded: "Master Wang, the imperial court has sent a minister of the Ministry of Industry and a right deputy governor of the capital. You must be careful."
"I know, thank you Li Bingxian for reminding me." Wang Yuan said with a smile.
When constructing large-scale projects, there are usually three chief officials who can supervise each other. They are often a combination of eunuchs, important ministers and censors.
Wang Yuan was fooling around in Shandong and the cabinet received a lot of memorials. How could they not send someone to check?
If Wang Yuan messed up, they would impeach him and make merit; if Wang Yuan did something right, they would share the credit.
In fact, most of them are still trying to make a profit, after all, doing projects is very lucrative.
Li Chongsi said: "When people from the court come, I will try my best to help you. You must speed up the construction period!"
Wang Yuan cupped his fists and said, "I will remember Li Bingxian's kindness!"
Li Chongsi smiled and said: "I just don't want anyone to make trouble."
Li Chongsi was the deputy envoy for military preparations who was urgently appointed when the rebels were raging in Shandong. He has made outstanding achievements in the past year and more. He is credited with winning the battle as a general, and he is also credited with providing relief after the war. Wang Yuan is also credited with water diversion. Half a year later,
The price is bound to rise again. How can we allow mistakes to occur at the last moment?
Although he and Yang Tinghe were from the same hometown in Sichuan, Li Chongsi would not rely on anyone.
This old gentleman is a concubine of the Chenghua Dynasty. He is still fawning over his juniors even at his age? The worst he can do is resign and return home!
Today there are not many veterans of the Three Dynasties left, all of them are gods, and even the emperor will not punish them easily. At most, they will be promoted and thrown away to Nanjing to retire, and the official salary cannot be too small.
Li Chongsi directly chose to stay in Linqing and help Wang Yuan deal with official matters.
With Li Chongsi's help, everything can be done smoothly. Because the responsibilities of Bingbei Dao officials are very complex, they can not only mobilize local troops, but later even supervise academic affairs, and even get involved in imperial examinations.
After the right deputy imperial envoy and the minister of industry came to Linqing, Li Chongsi accompanied them to practice Tai Chi every day.
Want to interfere? I'm sorry.
Want to check the account? Please feel free.
In just three days, the two new ministers gave up completely and went directly to recite poems against the governor, Malun.
There is no need to check this account at all. You can tell at a glance that there is no money or water, because the money and food consumed are too small. It is so small that people suspect that Wang Yuan is engaged in a shoddy project!
Seeing that spring was about to begin, Wang Yangming finally arrived, just in time to share in the political achievements.
