marquis of jingan

Chapter 11

Chen Zhifu, the heaven of Jiangdu Prefecture.

Jiangdu Mansion is a very wealthy mansion in the south of the Yangtze River, so the prefect of Jiangdu is also a high-ranking job among the prefects. General officials need to work in other prefectures for one or two terms, and if there are people in the court, they may be transferred to Jiangdu Mansion Ren Zhifu.

And this prefect Chen, whose surname is Chen Mingyu, has been the prefect of Jiangdu for more than two years. It's the year of the merit test. If there is no accident, this prefect Chen will get a "top" evaluation.

Of course, the magistrate will probably not only serve one term, and prefect Chen will also serve one more term in Jiangdu, that is, six years. After the examination next year, prefect Chen will probably stay in Jiangdu and continue to be his prefect of Jiangdu.

It is worth mentioning that this prefect Chen is not yet 35 years old this year, much younger than his subordinate Jiangdu county magistrate Feng Lu, he is regarded as a young official in the imperial court, with a bright future.

Hearing the invitation from Prefect Chen, Lu Anshi turned around, glanced at Shen Yi, and said, "Son, you stay here first, the old man goes to see Prefect Chen."

Shen Yi, who was in the cell, nodded quickly, and then said in a low voice, "I'm sorry to trouble the head of the mountain."

At this moment, Shen Yi actually wanted to remind his dean that next year will be the year for the officials to test their merits, and the attitude of the magistrate Chen is very important, but at this time, after all, he has something to ask for from Lu Anshi, so it would be a bit finger-pointing to speak again.

There is a difference between age and age, after all, it is not suitable, so he refrained from speaking.

"The old man is the head of Ganquan Academy. If something happens in the academy, the old man should take care of it."

Lu Anshi got up, looked at Shen Yi, and said, "It's time to eat, or to eat. Since County Magistrate Feng is willing to let the old man come to see you, no one will harm you if you come to this prison."

Shen Yi shook his head slightly, and said: "Shan Zhang, it was never Xianzun Feng who would poison me. After all, Xianzun Feng is not a native of our Jiangdu, and he can't control some of the following things."

Lu Anshi was thoughtful.

"Forget it, you are mature, just do what you want."

After saying this, he turned and left, and Shen Yi bid farewell.

After Lu Anshi left, Shen Yi stood alone at the door of the cell, thinking for a long time.

Now, because of Lu Anshi's actions, this murder case that was almost irreversible has turned around. However, Lu Anshi cannot completely turn the situation around. Whether he can get out of prison and keep his life is still very difficult. Hard to say.

"[-]% alive..."

Because of his back injury, Shen Qilang lay back on the straw again. He closed his eyes and thought about the ins and outs of the whole thing in detail.

"Next, it depends on whether the Fan family will let go. For Fan Shilang's official voice, they probably won't..."

"Too much…"

Thinking of this, Shen Yi was full of helplessness.

He has inherited all the memories of another Shen Yi. For that Shen Yi, Fan Dongcheng beat and killed his friend Chen Qing first, and then framed him later. Need to help Fan Dongcheng, this big enemy, get rid of the crime, even...

Even his life depends on the final attitude of the Fan family.

If the Fan family was really overbearing and insisted on killing him, then even if this unjust case might have a clear day in the future, Shen Yi would never see that day.

"This is the power of this era..."

Shen Qilang lay on the dry grass in the prison, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

"The current me, and the Shen family, are too weak..."

Jiangdu Mansion, Wanghu Building.

Jiangdufu is an ancient city. Throughout the past 2000 years, successive dynasties have excavated moats. Over time, these moats became one piece and communicated with the canals of the outside world. It gradually became a narrow and long lake. As the mansion gradually prospered, the lake had a more elegant name, Yudai Lake.

Wanghu Tower, just beside Yudai Lake, is also one of the top restaurants in Jiangdu Prefecture.

Lu Anshi sat in a carriage and soon came to the gate of Wanghulou. Led by the servant of Wanghulou, he went all the way up to the second floor and came to a private room on the second floor.

As soon as Master Lu arrived at the door of the private room, a middle-aged man with two beards, looking very capable, and dressed in casual clothes stood up to greet Lu Anshi, and smiled at Lu Anshi: "Mr. , please forgive me, sir."

It was Chen Yu, the prefect of Jiangdu.

Seeing this mansion lord, Lu Anshi was not easy to put on airs, so he bowed his hand and returned the salute: "I have seen the mansion lord."

"You're welcome, sir."

Chen Zhifu led Lu Anshi into the private room to sit down. After he was seated, he got up himself and poured tea for Lu Anshi. While pouring the tea, he smiled and said, "While waiting for Mr. It's a good time to enter."

Lu Anshi took the tea handed over by Chen Zhifu with both hands, thanked him, looked up at Chen Zhifu, and asked: "The Unknown House summoned Lu, what's the matter?"

"I dare not take it as a call."

Chen Yu waved his hand, and said dumbly: "I haven't seen you for a long time, so I just invite you to drink tea."

He stretched out his hand to count, and said with a smile, "The last time I met Mr. was when I sent Jiangdu scholars to Beijing for the exam at the beginning of the year. Several months have passed in a blink of an eye."

Master Lu has a straight personality and doesn't like this kind of winding way of speaking. He lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then looked at the prefect Chen and asked, "The magistrate asked the old man to come because of the murder case at Ganquan Academy. ?”

Chen Yu smiled without saying a word, just drinking tea with his head down.

After a cup of tea, Chen Zhifu smiled and said: "Sir, the weather in Jiangdu has been good these two years, and the people are peaceful and happy. This year's scientific examination, a total of five Jinshi have been awarded. In my opinion, no matter what happens, it will still be good." Make big things smaller."

Lu Anshi frowned.

He looked at Chen Yu.Asked: "Has Fu Zun known about this case?"

Chen Zhifu stretched out his hand to pour the tea, and while pouring the tea, he said calmly: "I have read the file handed over by the county government, and said..."

"It seems to be Shen Yi, a student of Ganquan Academy, who wounded someone to death because of love."

Master Lu took a deep breath, he raised his head and glanced at Chen Yu, and said in a deep voice, "What does the Master think?"

Chen Zhifu lowered his eyebrows, and after a long time, he sighed slightly: "Sir, you must understand my difficulties. I am sitting in Jiangdu, so I don't want to get too stiff with Fan Shilang."

At the age of less than 35, Chen Yuneng became the magistrate of a wealthy place like Jiangdu Prefecture, and he is obviously the master of someone in the court. Therefore, although his rank is much lower than that of the six ministers, his power is far inferior to that of the six ministers. But because of the backing of the court, he is not particularly afraid of the Fan family, but he is not willing to have a confrontation with the Fan family.

"Fu Zun."

Master Lu said calmly, "When this incident happened, I was annotating the scriptures in the academy, and I didn't ask about it in detail. It was not until this morning that I asked about it in detail in the academy. But what I found out , and the files of the county government seem to be quite different."

Chen Zhifu smiled slightly, and said, "It's normal to have discrepancies. After all, cases are handled by people. Everyone has different things in their hearts."

"Sir, if you have any questions, you can ask them. Let's sit down and discuss."

Master Lu looked at the tea in front of him, and said silently: "My lord, the old man has also been an official, and he knows the saying that there are no friends in the officialdom, and there is no right and wrong in court affairs. Turn it all upside down?"

Hearing Lu Anshi's words, Chen Zhifu frowned.

Next year will be the time for the officials to test their merits, and it will also be a very critical year for his career. At this time, Jiangdu Mansion cannot have any accidents, so he naturally wants to calm this matter down as soon as possible.

Therefore, when he knew that Lu Anshi had gone to the county government prison, he immediately sent someone to invite Lu Anshi here to talk, the purpose was to prevent this matter from becoming a big deal.

Therefore, the prefect of Jiangdu looked at Lu Anshi and said slowly, "Sir, under Jiangdu's rule, is there anything wrong with black and white?"
