The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 485

This angered the public. These members of the chamber of commerce couldn't understand Zhang Song's face on weekdays, and now they couldn't bear it anymore. They simply went to the Weaving Bureau to beat Zhang Song up.

This is still not relieved, they even set fire to the weaving bureau, and walked away.

Hearing this, Xie Shen was very surprised.

He thought that there would be some irreconcilable contradictions in it, and it turned out that it was because of grievances.

Who said that the people in the south of the Yangtze River are gentle and tough, even the people of the Xuanda generation can't compare with them.

After hearing the ins and outs of the matter, Xie Shen felt a little sympathetic to Zhang Song, the younger brother of Eunuch Zhang.

Zhang Song was a bit domineering, but he didn't violate the law of the Ming Dynasty, and he didn't greet the female relatives of the members of the Mogan Chamber of Commerce. Why did these members of the Chamber of Commerce beat people?

Beating people is fine, they even set fire to the weaving bureau, which is too much.
President Ning obviously thought so too.

Seeing Xie Shen's gloomy expression, he coughed softly, "The little old man was negligent in this matter, and the little old man made an apology to Siming."

Xie Shen sighed and said: "That Zhang Song is the younger brother of the imperial eunuch Zhang Yong, when did he suffer such grievances? If Xie hadn't dragged that Zhang Yong, I'm afraid he would have to sue His Majesty. "

Ning Yi's body trembled when he heard the three words of complaint.

This, is this too exaggerated?
Fortunately, Xie Shen has suppressed the matter.

"Thank you Siming, thank you Siming. You are the benefactor of Mogan Chamber of Commerce."

Xie Shen waved his hand and said, "It's okay, but this kind of thing must never happen a second time."

"That is, that is"

Ning Yi nodded repeatedly.

"Your Majesty will probably go to Lingyin Temple to worship Buddha in a few days, and then I will present the list of merchants who donated money to His Majesty."

Xie Shen changed the topic, and it was like exposing the matter of burning the weaving bureau.

"Siming has a heart."

In fact, Ning Yi didn't expect the emperor to know who donated the money, as long as he could get the right to start a weaving factory, he would be satisfied.

"Ning Yuanwai and Xie have also cooperated for many years. You should know that Xie has always treated his collaborators with sincerity."

Xie Shen smiled and said: "Member Ning, don't worry, members of the Mogan Chamber of Commerce will not be affected when they open a weaving factory."

The two chatted for a few more words, and fell into silence for a while.

Ning Yi stared at Xie Shen for a long time before sighing, "Siming, do you really not think about the little girl?"

Damn, why are you getting involved in this matter again?

Xie Shen has always been depressed, thinking that Ning Yuan can't let me go?

"Ahem, Mr. Xie already has a family. I'm afraid this is inappropriate?"

Unexpectedly, Ning Yi waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, there is no man who has three wives and four concubines. If the little girl can marry Siming, she can be a concubine."

I rely on!

Now, Xie Shen almost jumped up.

People hold their daughters in their palms for fear of melting, but this is better for Ning Yi, who pushes her daughter away.

Moreover, I still want my daughter to be a concubine
Xie Shen couldn't help wondering whether this Miss Ning's family was a member of the Ning family.

"Um, let me think about this."

Xie Shen didn't refuse right away, it wasn't that he was really moved by the Ning family's father and daughter, it was an expedient measure.

Just think, Ning Yi has already talked about this, and he must be desperate.Xie Shen's rejection of Ning Yi at this time is really a slap in the face.

With such a good partner, Xie Shen didn't want to offend a woman.

But it is even more impossible to respond directly, dragging the word seems to be the only way.

"No rush, no rush."

Seeing that Xie Shen's attitude showed signs of softening, Ning Yi was overjoyed.

As long as he can continue to hold his breath, Xie Shen will not let go.

With this mentality in mind, Ning Yi and Xie Shen started a family routine, acting like a future father-in-law.

Xie Shen's aversion to cold.

Ning Yuanwai is really out of line
But Xie Shen finally found an excuse to withdraw from the Mogan Chamber of Commerce and return to the governor's office.

It was dusk now.

The captain of Jinyiwei who was waiting outside the governor's yamen saw Xiao Ge's haggard face, and talked in low voices.

"You said, Mr. Xiao Ge just came out of the brothel, right?"

"How did you see it?"

"You don't know how to read, Xiao Ge is always walking around, obviously his body has been hollowed out."

"Wow, it's really true. If you say that there are countless oirans in Hangzhou, I don't know who fell into the eyes of Xiao Ge."

"Xiao Ge's old man is a star of Wenqu, it's not enough just to look good, she has to be a talented woman who is proficient in rhythm and poetry."

"Who says no, tsk tsk."

Fortunately, their discussion was very quiet, otherwise if Xie Shen heard it, a mouthful of old blood would come out.

Xie Shen walked straight to his courtyard, and before turning into the courtyard, he was bumped into by Zhang Yong who jumped out of nowhere.

Zhang Yong looked at Xie Shen with resentment on his face and said, "Mr. Xiaoge, you have caused our family a lot of trouble."

Xie Shen frowned and said, "What's wrong?"

"Our family went to find Dong Chan, the prefect of Hangzhou, and explained the situation to him. The prefect Dong assured our family that he would take care of the matter."

"It is not good?"

"But the prefect of Dong directly sent three classes of yamen servants to arrest those merchants who set fire to the Weaving Bureau."

Uh.
This prefect Dong is not a pig.
The more publicity this kind of thing is made, the more difficult it is to deal with. Is he afraid that the emperor will not know and deliberately cause trouble in the city?
Dong Zhifu's ability to achieve the position of prefect at least proves that he has figured out the rules in the officialdom.

This guy is not a rookie in the officialdom, how could he make such a low-level mistake.

The only explanation is that prefect Dong did it on purpose.

But why did he deliberately cheat eunuch Zhang?Could it be that he and Zhang Yong have a grudge?

Apparently, Eunuch Zhang also had the same idea. He pondered for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Mr. Xiao Ge, our family thinks that the prefect Dong seems to be deliberately cheating our family."

Xie Shen asked with some headaches: "When was the prefect Dong transferred to Hangzhou? Did he and Eunuch Zhang have conflicts before?"

Zhang Yong said almost without hesitation: "Prefect Dong was just transferred to Hangzhou as the prefect last year. Before that, he was the supervisory censor of Henan Province. Our family has never dealt with him."

that's weird
Could it be that Zhifu Dong is a gunman, trying to trap eunuch Zhang for some important person who should not show his face?

Eunuch Zhang kept staring at Xie Shen, making him a little nervous.

Xie Shen said in his heart that there is a grievance and a debtor, then the prefect Dong wants to cheat you, you go and cheat him back, why are you staring at me?
But he also knew that it was he who asked Zhang Yong to go to Dong Zhifu to settle the matter. It seems that eunuch Zhang wanted to rely on him and not let go.

"Eunuch Zhang doesn't need to be anxious. From Xie's point of view, there may be some misunderstandings."

"Misunderstanding? The prefect of Dong obviously has trouble with our family."

Zhang Yong said anxiously and angrily: "If this is reported to the emperor, our family will be muddy in the crotch, and it will be shit or shit."

Things in the officialdom are not clear.

As the saying goes, when the water is clear, there will be no murlocs, and when the water is clear, there will be no disciples. False reality is the kingly way.

Let's take this matter as an example. It can be considered that Eunuch Zhang's enemies want to use the problem to kill him, or it can be simply considered that Dong Zhifu is ruthless and unafraid of the powerful.
If you don't understand the situation and jump to conclusions, it is likely to have the opposite effect.

However, judging from various indications, this prefect Dong should not be the character of Qiang Qiang Ling.

If it is the former possibility, we have to figure out who wants Zhang Yong to stumble the most.

First of all, Zhang Yong is a eunuch, so there are only two types of people who have conflicts with him, one is civil servants, and the other is eunuchs.

It is unlikely that there will be a third type of person, because if it is a nobleman in the palace, it is as easy as squeezing an ant to death if you want to crush Zhang Yong, and you don't need to use the prefect Dong's hand at all.

Then, the people who want to cheat the eunuch can only be civil servants or eunuchs.

Choose one or the other, there will be no exceptions.

If it is a civil servant, it is not difficult to understand.After all, civil servants and eunuchs are two groups that are naturally opposed.

In the eyes of civil officials, especially Qingliu civil officials, eunuchs are the most disgusting group in the world.

These eunuchs are disgusting to even look at them.

Zhang Yong is not only a eunuch, but also a powerful supervisor, one of the famous Eight Tigers.

Now Liu Jin, the big tiger among the eight tigers, has lost his teeth by the civil officials, so the civil officials naturally turned their attention to the other seven tigers.

Although Gu Dayong is domineering, but he is in charge of Xichang, and he has a wolf like a tiger in his hands, so he is not easy to mess with.

Although Ma Yongcheng is arrogant, he is in charge of the East Factory, and his fans are more vicious than those in the West Factory, so he cannot be messed with.

Turning around, it seems that only Zhang Yong, the imperial eunuch, is a soft persimmon
Of course, this so-called soft persimmon is also relative to Gu Dayong and Ma Yongcheng. In essence, Zhang Yong is also a super eunuch who is deeply trusted by Emperor Zhengde.

It would be easier to understand if the eunuch wanted to engage Zhang Yong.

There are many factions within the eunuch, each standing on its own hill.

Take Ma Yongcheng, the governor of the East Factory as an example. His old man and Gu Dayong of the West Factory are very difficult to deal with, which also leads to frequent small-scale conflicts between the East Factory and the West Factory.

Even the two factories often have conflicts when carrying out business work.

As long as it is someone from the East Factory, the fans from the West Factory will jump out and make trouble.In the same way, when the West Factory wants to recruit people, they can always see the East Factory fans who have heard the news.

Although Zhang Yong is not in such a place of right and wrong as East Factory and West Factory, he is also one of the top three supervisors in Ouchi.

The imperial supervisor and eunuch are in charge of providing all the supplies needed by the emperor. Do you think this supervisor is important?

Apart from the Supervisor of Rituals and the Supervisor of Horses, the Imperial Supervisor is the most important. Countless eunuchs are staring at this position, so it is reasonable for Zhang Yong to be plotted against.

After all, there are many people with pink eye in this world.They may not find the reason for their inability to be dignified, but they will think that someone has taken their place.

Then the best way is naturally to pull down the person who occupies the position.
Especially recently, when the Son of Heaven toured the north and the south, Zhang Yongdu accompanied him, as if he was going to succeed the chief inspector of ceremonies, which made countless eunuchs envious.

To use a popular saying, there are many people who are famous.
Xie Shen looked at Zhang Yong full of sympathy, and it took a long time before he let out a breath and said, "Eunuch Zhang, Xie is very sympathetic to your situation."

Zhang Yong's eyes were filled with tears, and he thought that our family really met a bosom friend.

But Xie Shen's next words directly made Mr. Zhang almost vomit blood and die.

"However, I'm afraid Xie won't be able to help Eunuch Zhang with this matter."

"This..." Zhang Yong said with an aggrieved face: "Our family believes what others say, but Xiaoge always says this, our family does not believe it."

Xie Shen secretly cursed in his heart, what, I am the Heavenly King Lao Tzu, the Tathagata Buddha?Why can something be done when it comes to me?
"Old Xiaoge, don't you think that our family is going to be killed by someone, so you avoid it?"

There was resentment in Zhang Yong's eyes, just like a coyote.

Xie Shen only felt that it was too scary, and quickly waved his hands and said: "Xie didn't mean that, but the matter is not clear yet, how can you ask Xie to help you?"

Zhang Yong fell to the ground like a deflated raft.

"Then what should we do? Our family doesn't know who is behind our back."

Xie Shen was moved with compassion, and coughed: "At this time, Eunuch Zhang should express his feelings to His Majesty."

Xie Shen awakened the dreamer with a single word, and Zhang Yong's face turned blood immediately.

"That's right, why didn't our family think of that. Mr. Xiaoge is really a god."

Xie Shen blushed with embarrassment, waved his hands and said, "Eunuch Zhang is absurd. It's just that the authorities are delusional and the bystanders are clear."

"At this time, only the emperor will take care of us servants."

Zhang Yong sighed, his voice full of helplessness.

Yes, for eunuchs like them, there is really no one to trust except the emperor.

If even the emperor abandons them, they will only die.

"Eunuch Zhang, let's go."

"Well, our family will go to the emperor right now. If our family can get through this test, we will definitely repay the great kindness of the elder Xiaoge in the future."

Zhang Yong clenched his fists and said resolutely.

This was the second time Xie Shen heard that Zhang Yong had guarantied him for the second time in a day, and he was extremely embarrassed.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing for an eunuch to think about it so much?

Press these aside for the time being, but say that Emperor Zhengde Zhu Houzhao called Xie Shen to see him early the next morning.

Xie Shen lived in the governor's yamen, changed into an official robe and hurried to the emperor's bedroom.

"I thank you Shen to pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Xie Shenchong bowed his hands to Zhu Houzhao to see the ceremony, and was pulled aside by the emperor.

"Sir, do you know that the Hangzhou Weaving Bureau was set on fire by a group of mobs?"

Uh.
Xie Shen thought it was some kind of thing, but it was still that kind of shitty thing.

"Your Majesty, I have heard a little about this matter."

"Last night, Zhang Yong's servant girl came to me, hugged my thigh and cried, and asked me to make decisions for him. But sir, everyone was arrested by the prefect of Hangzhou, how can I make decisions for him? Is it possible? An imperial decree to behead all those merchants?"
