Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 109 The county magistrate came to inspect

Early the next morning, Lu Youcai, the head of the county capital, continued to accompany Luo Mei to inquire about the students of the county school. Gao Fei, the county magistrate, was also alarmed by the Yang Du case and came to the county school for inspection.

Zhao Xiuwen, a student of politics and teaching, brought a group of professors to the gate of the county school, and welcomed the county magistrate to inspect the school.

When everyone saw the ceremony, Gao Fei sighed slightly: "I'm ashamed. It's been more than a month since I took office in this county, and it's the first time I've come to the county to inspect the school. I've been trying cases all day, and I've delayed some important events."

Zhao Xiuwen quickly laughed and said: "The county lord is the official of the people's parents, and it is only natural to share the worries of the people. We should report to the county lord. This is dereliction of duty!"

Of course, this is just to say that education belongs to the county magistrate's scope of authority. As a student, Zhao Xiuwen usually reports to the county magistrate.

As for the county magistrate, it is enough to handle some major matters, such as the county magistrate selection contest involving the imperial examination, and the county magistrate is still in charge of daily affairs.

Gao Fei nodded, "Yesterday I heard that something happened in the county school. As the magistrate of the county, I want to come to understand some of the situation. I hope I don't disturb the teaching activities of the county school!"

Zhao Xiuwen hurriedly said: "Today, the county school is closed for one day, and the students are all studying in the dormitory. The county lord is here at the right time. Please go to the meeting hall with the humble officer."

Gao Fei smiled, then looked at Zhang Yi again, "This is Professor Zhang from Gufeng Academy!"

Zhang Yi quickly stepped forward to salute, "I'm right!"

"It is said that Professor Zhang's betting is very accurate, and he has been famous for a long time."

"Where! Where! It's just a fluke."

Gao Fei chuckled, "Let's go sit down together!"

"Professors, let's talk together!"

Gao Fei enthusiastically extended an invitation to the professors, and everyone responded one after another, and followed Gao Fei to the Qinxue Building.

Zhang Yi was even more excited. The county magistrate actually named himself alone, which shows how much he attaches importance to himself. He actually had an idea in his heart. If the county magistrate is dumped, it would be good to hang out with the county magistrate. .

Zhao Xiuwen had an indescribable feeling in his heart. The county lord seemed to be here for Yang Du's matter, but his intuition told Zhao Xiuwen that things might not be that simple.

Everyone walked into the spacious meeting hall, Zhao Xiuwen asked Gao Fei to take the main seat, and everyone else had their own seats, so everyone found a place to sit down.

Gao Fei nodded and said: "Lu Dutou and Pingjiang Mansion Luojie have led people to station in the county school. I'm afraid everyone already knows about it. In fact, I personally think it's a bit of a fuss."

There was a burst of whispering in the council hall, and no one expected that Magistrate Gao would have such an attitude, thinking that it was a big deal.

Zhao Xiuwen stood up and said: "Everyone, please be quiet and listen to the county lord continue to lecture!"

The meeting hall became quiet again, and Gao Fei continued: "Yang Du was injured outside the school. The students' misfortune is worthy of sympathy, but expanding the investigation will affect every student and professor, affecting the teaching of the county school and affecting the students' reading. , is not worth advocating, so the county will ask the Luo Jie class to stop the investigation today and withdraw from the county school."

There was enthusiastic applause in the meeting hall. At this moment, a teaching assistant hurried forward and whispered something to Zhang Yi in a low voice.

Zhang Yi was stunned for a moment, and quickly said to Gao Fei: "Master, Lu Dutou sent someone to ask me to be interrogated. Is this...is it appropriate?"

Gao Fei smiled, "Professor Zhang is Yang Du's master. I guess he wants to ask a few questions, which is considered a routine matter. Professor Zhang can go there without worry. I will instruct Luo Jie to keep the question as short as possible."

Zhang Yi had no choice but to stand up and walk outside. Several government servants stepped forward and said, "Professor Zhang please go this way."

Zhang Yi snorted, and followed a few yamen servants to the Tuisi building behind.

Zhang Yi was taken away just like that in a daze.

Gao Fei's complexion changed, and he said coldly: "On the first day I took office in this county, some parents complained to this county, saying that there are professors in the county school selling places for audit students. This has been repeatedly prohibited for many years, especially in recent years. This county is also a scholar and hates this kind of behavior, so this county is going to spend three days to thoroughly investigate this matter..."

There was an uproar in the lobby, and everyone was shocked. No one thought that the county magistrate would take action at this critical moment.

Zhao Xiuwen was stunned at first, but then he was overjoyed. He and Zhang Ruoying exchanged glances, and both of them couldn't help the excitement in their hearts.

For many years, they proposed to rectify the school atmosphere in the county, but Yang Xiancheng dismissed it with the word "drag", or went out of the way, and it was still as usual after a gust of wind.

This time when Zhao Xiuwen cleaned up the Hunzi students, he was pressured by Yang Xiancheng to ask each of him to have a conversation to ensure that the students left voluntarily.

This is actually sabotage in a disguised form. May I ask which student will leave voluntarily?
It depends on whether the county magistrate's move can reverse the atmosphere of the county school.

Of course, Zhao Xiuwen also knew the purpose of Gao County Magistrate's intervention in the county school, but he didn't care about the power struggle among the county magistrates. He only cared about whether Zhang Yi could be brought down and the order of the county school could be completely rectified.

Zhao Xiuwen hurriedly got up to express his opinion, "The opinion of the county lord is very correct and timely. As a teacher, I have an unshirkable responsibility for such and other problems in the county school, but in any case, I will fully cooperate with the county lord to rectify the county. Learn order."

All the professors expressed their support for the county monarch to rectify order.

Gao Fei nodded, "How can a person walk by the river without getting his feet wet? Some professors may be confused for a while and take some benefits. Let it go, but if it's serious, you're just asking for luck!"

Zhao Xiuwen asked: "I don't know where the county lord plans to start?"

Gao Fei smiled and said: "I will put a big wooden box at the gate of the county school to encourage students and parents to report and expose. I have already controlled some people with serious problems. Please feel free to report. This county is definitely not going through the motions !"

After receiving the county magistrate's instructions, the professors cheered up and went back to prepare materials.

Gao Fei said with a smile to Zhao Xiuwen and Zhang Ruoying: "Please wait a moment, both of you, I still need to discuss some specific matters with you two."

． ． ． ． ． ． ． ．
The county magistrate arrived at the county school to conduct a thorough investigation of selling the school, and the news that Zhang Yi had been brought under control quickly spread throughout the county school.

At this time, the county school has forgotten about Yang Du's injury, and almost everyone is concerned about the county magistrate's cleansing of corruption and rectifying the style of study.

Early the next morning, the county school continued to suspend classes, and Luo Mei led the archers from Pingjiang Mansion to evacuate the county school.

In the dormitory, only Duan Yu and Fan Ning were chatting, and Su Liang went out to inquire about the news.

"Fan Ning, I saw you lighting a stick of incense outside the window last night, what are you doing?"

Fan Ning was taken aback secretly, how could he see himself lighting incense with the screen covering him?
Fan Ning pretended to be calm and smiled, "Didn't you notice that there are long-legged mosquitoes at night?"

Duan Yu smiled strangely: "It's only spring now, where are the mosquitoes?"

"That's because you don't live in the countryside. There are mosquitoes in the countryside throughout the four seasons, but there are more in summer. Although the mosquitoes don't bite in spring, they will buzz in your ears and disturb your sleep.

The first two long-legged mosquitoes have appeared. I guess they got in through the window crack, so I lit a long-lasting incense on the window sill. "

This explanation is a bit far-fetched, Duan Yu is skeptical, there are mosquitoes in this weather, he really didn't see them.

He was still a little curious, and wanted to ask a few more questions. At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Su Liang rushed in from the outside.

He was very excited: "The latest news, more than 100 letters exposing Zhang Yi have been collected in the wooden box. Zhang Yi is really finished this time."

"There will be so many?" Duan Yu didn't believe it.

Fan Ning said with a smile: "Almost, I guess many of them are written by those bastards. They can't stay in the county school and want to get their money back. Most of them will write letters to report."

"Fan Ning is right. There should be quite a few of them who paid a lot of money to be auditors, but in the end they failed to pass the imperial examination. They felt resigned and would certainly write letters to report."

Fan Ning suddenly thought of his fourth uncle Fan Tongzhong. I wonder if he wrote a letter to report Zhang Yi?

At this time, Duan Yu asked again: "Has Zhang Yi explained?"

Su Liang shook his head, "I'm not sure about that. There are rumors that he confessed part of it. Anyway, I heard that Magistrate Gao is personally searching Zhang Yi's room!"

Hearing the last sentence, there was an imperceptible smile in Fanning's eyes.

． ． ． ． ． ． ．

Zhang Yi's family is in Changzhou County, but he himself also has a house in the county school, and he stays in the county school most of the time.

Zhang Yi was well-known in the county school for his liking for gold. Everyone knew that all the benefits he obtained were exchanged for gold. This was almost an open secret.

In the morning, Gao Fei brought Lu Yougen and a dozen archers to Zhang Yi's residence in the county school under the guidance of Zhao Xiuwen and Zhang Ruoying.

Zhang Yi's residence is very simple, with only a bed, a table, a few chairs, a bookshelf and a box.

The bedding and clothes were very old, which made Gao Fei frowned, "Is this Zhang Yi so thrifty?"

Zhang Ruoying shook her head, "He's not thrifty, but stingy. He's notoriously stingy. He's stingy with others, and he's also stingy with himself. He's a typical miser."

Zhang Yi's residence was only two rooms inside and outside, and he didn't find the gold box when he searched around. At this time, Lu Yougen pushed the bookshelf away and found something abnormal behind it.

"Your Majesty, here you are!"

Lu Yougen yelled, and everyone walked towards the inner room, only to see a small door behind the bookshelf with a big lock hanging on it.

Lu Yougen took out a thick key from his pocket and said with a smile: "This key was found on his body. I'm still surprised. What is he doing with this key? So it's used here."

"Open it!"

Gao Fei was also looking forward to it.

Lu Yougen unlocked the big lock and pushed open the door. The room inside was small, but there was some light coming in through a transom window.

In the middle of the room was a large box wrapped in iron, and everyone's eyes lit up. The legendary Zhang Yi's gold box was indeed here.

Lu Yougen stepped forward to touch it, but found that there was no lock on the box, and there was no chain buckle, so he pushed open the lid directly.

The box suddenly shone with a dazzling golden light, and there were pieces of gold ingots inside, and everyone suddenly exclaimed.

Zhao Xiuwen and Zhang Ruoying exchanged glances, the legend turned out to be true.

At this time, Lu Yougen took out the gold nuggets from the box one by one, counted them, then turned to Gao Fei and said, "Each piece of gold weighs one catty, and the total is 50 yuan."

Only fifty catties!Zhao Xiuwen quickly calculated in his mind, fifty catties is about eight thousand guan.

This is far from the [-] to [-] coins they estimated. It should be at least two hundred catties. Why is it only fifty catties?

Could it be that Zhang Yi's cunning rabbit has three caves?Or is Zhang Yi not as greedy as he imagined?

Gao Fei was not only concerned about gold, he hurriedly asked: "See if there is anything else?"

Lu Yougen touched the bottom of the box, and suddenly said: "It seems that there is an interlayer!"

Gao Fei lifted his spirits and stretched his neck expectantly.

Lu Yougen opened the interlayer at the bottom of the box and found three letters inside. He quickly took out the letters and handed them to Gao Fei. Gao Fei looked at them and couldn't help laughing smugly.

All he wanted were these letters.

"Are there any other items?" Gao Fei asked again.

"Other items are gone!"

"Okay! Put the gold back, put a seal on it, and move it back to the county government."
