Zheng Fuzun, whose surname is Zheng Yuan and whose courtesy name is Mengda, 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, that is, caution.
If something can be avoided, it will never be interfered with.
"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 serve as the Guo County Magistrate? No one can compare with me. It is even clearer that although I was 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 fluent in everything 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 in the past two days. Many people have gone to sue the Fan family, a large family in Jiangdu, for plundering the people in the suburbs and plundering land wantonly. Mr. Zhang has already tried several cases, but the cases are getting more and more The more we do, 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 fatal. The Ministry of Punishment may also send people down to investigate, alarming the court, but the governor of Jiangdu didn't know about it. Isn't it inappropriate?"
Zheng Yuan frowned.
After a moment, he looked at Shen Yi and sighed: "Shen Hanlin, let's have a friendly chat. Zheng will tell you the truth."
"You fight for what's yours, and those who fight for you are the ones who fight. I just want to watch and don't want to end up."
It was obvious that Zheng Yuan regarded this matter 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 a parent, 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 violates the law, you will arrest him, my master. The academy will not say a word. If you do, 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: "There is a big disaster in Jiangdu Mansion. The Lord of the Mansion just needs to do his duty."
Zheng Fuzun sat in his seat and thought for a while, then smiled and said: "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 Shan. It is said that Shen Hanlin is a student of President Lu Shan of the academy, and Zheng is a host in Jiangdu City when he has time, and invites Mr. 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 were too thick, and they might 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 Fu Zun today because I want to give this invitation to Fu Zun. I will be born on the 16th of this month." We are getting married. If your master 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 the 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. 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 palace official's office due to his late birth. On the sixteenth of this month, I'm waiting for the palace minister to arrive."
The little fat man nodded with a smile: "I will send Mr. Hanlin to you."
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.
Mr. Zhang of the county government is as good as a god.
Every case, as long as it involves the Fan family, can usually be settled 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 cut off the murder so quickly was because he had evidence in his hand, evidence of the Fan family's evil deeds.
And privately, there is an intelligence team from the Di News 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 in their hearts that this time the Fan family...
There is no longer any protection in the court.
As a result, more people came to the yamen 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.
On November 15th, someone had already filed a complaint against him at the Jiangdu County Government Office!
Both fatalities involved the Fan family.
Mr. Zhang took it very seriously. He immediately asked the torture chamber to set up a file, and then sent an official to investigate the relevant situation.
When it comes to life, it cannot be decided by the local yamen. It 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 busy, the Shen family in Jiangdu was also 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 Shen family’s new scholar, the Shen family’s Hanlin Duke!
Tomorrow, we are getting married!
