County Magistrate Wu was so frightened that he fell silent, how dare he question Xu Guan's punishment, he just cupped his hands and said: "Xu Shilang's punishment is fair, as it should be."

Xu Guan glanced at the people in the hall, and said coldly: "Leave the hall!"

The crowd led by County Magistrate Wu greeted Xu Guan out of the hall of the county government office, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu County ordered a dozen guards to take wooden planks and send back Tan Fang, who was beaten half to death, three evil servants, and several monks from Ciyun Temple, secretly calling it bad luck.

He really didn't expect that Xie Shen would be able to climb up to Xu Guan, and Xu Guan would directly "argue" three Tan family servants according to Xie Shen's suggestion.As soon as this matter started, I'm afraid it won't end easily.With Xu Guan's personality, he would order someone to investigate to the end. Whether it was Wu Cheng or Tan Fang, they had to make up for the unpaid taxes these years, and the land attached to the name of Ciyun Temple would have to be confiscated.

In this way, Xu Guan and Eunuch Li's Liangzi were concluded.Xu Guan's two sleeves are cool and his bones are strong, so he is not afraid of Eunuch Li.It's just that Xie Shen has just joined the career, isn't he afraid of making too many enemies?

Magistrate Wu was full of worries in the county government office, but Xie Shen was very happy here.

The young man and Xu Guan returned to Wang's house together, and as soon as they entered the mansion, they cupped their hands and said: "Thank you, sir, for your righteous words and help."

Xu Guan smiled lightly and said: "It's nothing. This old man is not only helping you, but also helping the common people in Yuyao. Tan Fang used his power to commit crimes, stealing land taxes and ignoring the laws of Ming Dynasty. If there is no one to punish , I am afraid that future generations will follow suit. If this is the case, what is Wang Fatian's prestige?"

Xie Shen agreed with Xu Guan's words.A large part of the problem of the emptiness of the treasury in the late Ming Dynasty was that the big landlords annexed too much land.It would be fine if it was just an annexation of the land, but these big landlords were rich and unkind, and resorted to various methods to squeeze the tenant farmers, and in the end they even tried to evade and underpay taxes.

"The old man will not leave Yuyao immediately. The taxes they underpaid must be paid back. As for the confiscation of the farmland, it is a serious matter. The old man has to write a memorial and submit it to heaven."

Xu Guan didn't shy away from it, and told Xie Shen all of his plans.

The two came to the flower hall one after another, and sat down when they saw that the Wang family's uncles and nephews were there.

"Brother Shenxian, you acted really well in this play. If you hadn't used that aggressive method, Tan Fang might not have been able to take the bait."

Xie Shen smiled lightly and said, "It's not because the boss cooperates well. If only relying on me, then Tan Fang must have ordered someone to break down the gate to arrest people."

Wang Shouren commented solemnly: "This method is feasible, but it is not feasible. Brother Shen Xian should also think more about how to prevent the villain from revenge in the future."

Hearing this, Xie Shen sighed and said: "I have considered this matter before, no matter what I do, I won't regret it."

Behind Tan Fang is the eunuch Li Guang.Li Guang's name Xie Shen has naturally been heard, he is a famous power traitor in the Hongzhi Dynasty.If you ask Xie Shen if he is afraid of Eunuch Li, the answer is naturally.But shopkeeper Wu and Tan Fang both bullied him.If he is timid again, is he still a man?
Even if the sea rains and winds follow, Xie Shen will not regret it.

"Okay, a young man should have such a bearing!"

Xu Guan was overwhelmed by Xie Shen's courage, and praised: "You don't have to worry, the old man is on good terms with brother Shi Yong, just write a letter and ask him to take care of you."

Xie Shen was taken aback for a moment, then he was ecstatic in his heart.

He is familiar with Ming history, so he naturally knows whose name it is.

This person is none other than Liu Daxia, one of the famous Hongzhi Three Gentlemen.

"Is Liu Gong also in charge of this province?"

Wang Suqian replied before Xu Guan: "Liu Gong is the former Zuo Buzheng of this province. This spring, the Yellow River and Zhang Qiu's embankment burst. His Majesty promoted Liu Gong as the right deputy capital censor to govern. Speaking of Liu Gong and Xu The assistant minister is not only a good friend, but also a capable minister who manages the flood."

Xu Guan heard that Wang Su was far away, and hurriedly explained: "Although brother Shi Yong has left his post, his contacts are still there, so you don't have to worry too much."

Xie Shen knew that Xu Guan was giving him reassurance.After all, Xu Guan's task is to control the flood in Susong. Now that the flood in Taihu Lake Basin has been well managed, Xu Guan can take a little leisure time, but sooner or later he will return to Songjiang and Suzhou.

Xu Guan worried that Xie Shen would be retaliated by Tan Fang after he left Yuyao, so he expressed that he would take care of him through Liu Daxia's relationship.

"What's more, there is a loyal minister like Zong Guan sitting in the official department, forgive those eunuchs who dare not act rashly when they are young."

"It's really a great fortune for us to be able to recover from the prince."

Xu Guan and Wang Su sang together without giving Xie Shen a chance to intervene.Xie Shen, Wang Shu's name, naturally knew that, after all, he was indeed in his second youth, and he was serving as a minister in the Ministry of Officials in the capital.

These famous ministers and eunuchs never seem to deal with it.Otherwise, there would be no party struggle between the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party at the end of the Ming Dynasty.But these are gossip, let's not mention it for now.

But Xie Shen thought it over and over again, and only felt that Xu Guan had drawn a big cake for him.These promises seem to be many, but there are no guarantees.

Unless Xie Shen really moved out of Yuyao, absolute safety cannot be guaranteed.

"Xie Xiaolang, how did you think about what the old man told you yesterday?"

Xie Shenzheng heard Master Xu's change of subject from a state of perplexity, so he calmed down and said, "Your Excellency loves you so much, but you can't repay him. It's just that this matter must be approved by the elder brother."

Xu Guan didn't know what stimulated him, but he actually identified Xie Shen, a new talent from Yuyao, and wanted to take him in as his son-in-law.

The problem is that Xie Shen is only thirteen this year, and has just passed the examination of scholar, and now he is all focused on his career.Let him fall in love with a woman he has never met before, on the willow head on the moon, after the dusk, he really can't do it.

Of course, Xie Shen was already very touched that Xu Guan was able to put down his face and take the initiative to ask him.But moving is moving, Xie Shen can't make fun of the rest of his life.With Xu Guan's status, it is naturally a good help.If Xie Shen really married Miss Xu's family, it would definitely be of great benefit to his future career.But Xie Shen doesn't intend to tie his marriage to politics, let alone exchange interests.

It may be the mainstream of this era to have a talented man accompany a beautiful woman, but Xie Shen is a traveler from later generations after all, and cannot accept this kind of naked political marriage.

Although Xu Guan only suggested that the two should get in touch first, Xie Shen directly declined.

Xu Guan was slightly disappointed, but he still maintained his famous Confucian demeanor. He waved his hands and said, "It's okay. When Xie Xiaolang wants to come to Suzhou Mansion, he just needs to let him know in advance."
