Chapter 619 Zhang Jing's Abacus
Zhang Jing and his group of people did go back to the guild hall to rest.
Qiu Wei said worriedly and puzzledly: "Eunuch Zhang, will there be trouble in this way?"
Zhang Jing waved his hand with confidence: "Don't worry, no. What trouble can happen? Don't think that their gang is as capable as the law does not blame the public. They just yell at their clamor for their own courage, but let them stand up and see how many people dare. Let's hang them for one night and be honest tomorrow. Let's sleep."
As he said that, Zhang Jing fell to sleep.
He seemed to be worried about the protests in front of Zhang Grand Secretary’s Mansion Square.
However, as soon as I lay down, I heard someone telling me: "Eunuch Zhang, the judge of Jingzhou Prefecture, is asking for a meeting."
It was the official representative.
"It's so late, why are you here?" Zhang Jing replied unhappily.
"He said he wanted to see you if there was something urgent."
"Then let him in."
There was no choice but to sit up again and work with Qiu Wei to prepare to meet with the magistrate of Jingzhou Prefecture.
Soon, the judge of Jingzhou Prefecture came in under the guidance of an Jinyiwei.
As soon as he came in, he fell to the ground and said, "It is a sin to disturb Eunuch Zhang and Lord Qiu Qing Xiu, but he is helpless!"
"You get up first, just say anything, it's getting late."
Zhang Jing is neither too slow nor too cold.
"Eunuch Zhang, the unruly people in front of Zhang Grand Secretary's Mansion Square are still making trouble!"
"After all, you are a magistrate. Look at your promising prospects, what can they do?"
"..." The magistrate of Jingzhou Prefecture was choked, "They refused to leave..."
"Then let them stay and care about him. They will not leave. I'll walk!"
"If their problems are not solved, they say they will not step on them."
"I have made it clear to them. When we enter the Grand Secretary Zhang's office to check and search, we will give them freedom. They are so anxious that they can't listen. What can I do?"
"If they continue to protest strongly tomorrow, how should we deal with it?"
"Let's talk about tomorrow until tomorrow." Zhang Jing had already shown impatience.
"Those people are still waiting for the letter from Huyi."
"Just tell them, let's talk about it tomorrow. I've been waiting for so long and don't care about this night."
"Then I dare to ask again, will Eunuch Zhang solve the problem tomorrow?" asked the judge of Jingzhou Prefecture.
“What to solve?”
"The business of Zhu's Group."
"It's hard to say." Zhang Jing was not sure.
"..." The magistrate of Jingzhou Prefecture was in a state of anxiety. Because in this way, when he returned to the Grand Secretary Zhang's mansion, he could not promise anything, and even at this moment he did not dare to go back to face the protesting crowd.
When he saw Zhang Jing, he did not get the result he wanted, so he refused to leave in a hurry.
Seeing this, Zhang Jing took the initiative to ask, "It's getting late, do you have anything to do?"
The judge of Jingzhou Prefecture suddenly felt that he nodded, and shook his head, and he looked forward and didn't know where to start.
Seeing that the judge of Jingzhou Prefecture stood motionless, he still had no intention of leaving.
There was no choice but to issue an order to expel guests: "Since it's okay, you can leave."
The judge of Jingzhou Prefecture had to go in shame, and he didn't have to think about how he was in a torment. He thought that he would be on the stage soon, but Zhang Jing couldn't give the result he wanted... Then he could only leave it to fate.
Otherwise, what else can I do?
The judge of Jingzhou Prefecture left, and Qiu Wei returned to his room to rest.
Zhang Jing lay down again, but tossed and turned and couldn't sleep for a while.
Of course he knew why Zhu Yili chose to go to Beijing to avoid it at this time.
Only in this way can he have the opportunity to "show off his skills". Otherwise, Zhu Yiliu is there, how can he perform? No matter how he is an imperial envoy, he can't resist Zhu Yiliu's.
Zhang Jing has a clear understanding of this, and he is still a master.
...
The judge of Jingzhou Prefecture came back in a daze.
At this moment, the prefect of Jingzhou Prefecture and Tongzhi were not there, and his officials were the largest.
Although Zhang Jing did not promise anything, he felt that he had to promise something to the protesting crowd, otherwise he would not be able to calm down such anger.
Seeing him come back, all the protesters in front of Zhang's Grand Secretary's Mansion Square stood up.
"How about it?"
"What did the imperial envoy say?"
"Has he agreed?"
“…”
The judge of Jingzhou Prefecture replied in this way: "You can rest assured. When the imperial envoy enters the mansion tomorrow, you will be free. The Grand Secretary Zhang is the Grand Secretary Zhang's Mansion, and the Zhu's Group is the Zhu's Group, so you cannot catch your eyebrows and beards at once."
"It sounds nice. Who knows how long it takes for you to check it out? What if it takes ten days, half a month or even a month?" Obviously, many angry people expressed disbelief.
The Tongzong of Jingzhou Prefecture patted himself on his chest: "I hereby guarantee that we will bear your losses. No matter how long it takes to count and check, we will compensate for the losses caused in the middle."
"Are we compensated us immediately afterwards, or were we made short promises to appease us?" There were still many people hesitant.
The judge of Jingzhou Prefecture said seriously: "Don't worry, I use my black hat as a guarantee, it is definitely not a short promise, and it will definitely be fulfilled."
Seeing that the judge of Jingzhou Prefecture had a swearing that he didn't seem to be fake, everyone settled down a little, but no one left.
At this time, the night was already dark.
...
Huguang Governor's Office.
Governor Wang Zhiyuan didn't sleep either.
In the Ming Dynasty, the governor belonged to the capital, not the local officials, which was different from the Qing Dynasty.
As a dead fan of Zhang Juzheng, he has been frightened recently. Fortunately, Emperor Wanli has only attacked the officials in Beijing and has not yet moved to the lower houses.
This time, he searched Zhang Juzheng's home and felt indescribable.
My heart was filled with panic, shock, pain, and jealousy... I could be said to have mixed feelings.
In his mind, he had always had a question. He had asked Zhu Yili specifically, but he was rejected by Zhu Yili and threatened him.
Until today, he still has this question in his heart, but unfortunately, he doesn't know who to ask and who to prove it. After all, this will be a fatal death, who dares to break it easily?
I searched the Grand Secretary Zhang's Mansion. He originally wanted to cooperate this time, but he didn't.
All matters were entrusted to the prefect of Jingzhou Prefecture.
He really didn't want to see that scene.
But he couldn't fall asleep for a while, so he had to treat the yamen as his home and did not go back tonight. At the same time, he sent someone to pay attention to the news in Jingzhou City at any time.
In the evening, he also heard that a large-scale protest was triggered in front of the Grand Secretary’s Mansion Square, which made him even more heartbroken and had no intention of falling asleep.
After thinking about it, I was still worried and decided to go to Jingzhou City early the next morning.
