Just as the cultural forum was being held in Wulong Teahouse, the sedan chair of Feng Qu, the magistrate of Wu County, entered Gusu Yi.
Most of the dignitaries passing by live in Gusu Yi, so it is probably very reasonable for the magistrate's sedan chair to enter Gusu Yi.
Then Feng Zhixian's sedan chair entered the courtyard where Wang Shizhen, the right minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Punishment, lived.
The right minister of the Nanjing Ministry of Justice can also be regarded as a minister of the ministry, so it is probably very reasonable for a magistrate to pay a visit to the minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the official etiquette.
Wang Shilang met with Feng Zhixian despite his busy schedule. There were no other outsiders present except his second son Wang Shisu who accompanied him.
During the chat, Minister Wang asked casually: "I heard that Feng Lingyin is about to step down?"
Feng Zhixian replied: "I'm sorry to see you, young Si Kou. I'm going to serve as the magistrate of Wuxian County until May."
Wang Shilang then said: "When I edit a letter, when you go to Beijing to declare your duties, you can send it to Mr. Wang Jingshi for me, okay?"
Jingshi is the title of the great scholar Wang Xijue, and he is called Mr. Wang Jingshi respectfully.
Wang Xijue and Wang Shizhen were both from Taicang. Although the two Wang families were not the same thing, their relationship was very close.
When he heard that he had the opportunity to send a letter to the great scholar Wang Xijue, Feng Zhixian immediately understood what was going on.
It was the Wang Shilang in front of me who was bidding money to buy him. He said he was asking him to deliver a letter, but in fact he was recommending him to Wang Xijue!
Feng Zhixian didn't have a particularly good background. It would be great if he could go to the home of Wang Xijue, a great scholar, to gain face at the critical moment when he went to Beijing to seek a new official position.
After Feng Zhixian thought for a moment, he replied: "The letter is sent by Rao Er, who raises his hand and is willing to serve the young commander."
Wang Shilang was very satisfied with Feng Zhixian's attitude, and then responded in a friendly manner:
"Wuxian County is very good, but there are bad people in the county government. They have repeatedly slandered me in front of others, making it difficult for me to live in peace in Suzhou."
This was also expected by Feng Zhixian. After the price was offered, the conditions would usually come up.
We are all educated people, so there is no need to be too explicit, everything is left unsaid.
After sending Feng Zhixian away, Wang Shisu said to Wang Shilang: "If my father's methods were spread, I'm afraid his reputation would be damaged."
Direct use of power to resolve matters in the literary world will definitely be criticized.
Wang Shilang Shizhen said calmly: "After the man named Lin is severely beaten by the Yamen, I will generously help him escape from the sea of suffering.
Who can say anything wrong about me then? On the contrary, everyone will praise me for my integrity!
Even Lin Tailai himself cannot offend me again, otherwise he will be ungrateful!"
Wang Shisu: "."
Jiang is still old and hot, and there is a huge gap between himself and the literary leaders.
Later, I heard Wang Shilang mocking himself: "Look at how many years my body can last.
When I die, death will naturally be a big deal, and even the slightest bit of nastiness will be tabooed by the venerable and buried in the dust."
Then Shilang Wang remembered something and asked his second son: "I asked you to track down the person who was causing trouble in the dark. Have you dug them out?"
Wang Shisu replied: "There are no clues. Could it be that there is no mastermind behind the scenes?"
Wang Shilang, who was originally calm on the surface, suddenly became furious, slapped the table and yelled: "Impossible! How could there be no mastermind behind the scenes!
The various hot discussions that are popular in Suzhou City to humiliate me and the retro-religious faction are by no means born out of thin air. Someone must be adding fuel to the flames and manipulating public opinion!"
Wang Shisu interacted more with young people, and he wanted to ask his father:
"Is there a possibility that Shilin has been tired of the retro sect for a long time, so he spontaneously likes to spread black materials about his father and the retro sect? He even enjoys fabricating it?"
But Wang Shisu did not dare to tell the truth to his father. It was like facing Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Duke Huan of Qi in his later years. What was the use of admonishing him?
Feng Zhixian, who had returned to the county government at this time, was a little entangled and wavered for a while.
The person Wang Shilang said "there are bad people in the county government office" was obviously the food clerk named Lin.
From the perspective of the ethics of monarchs and ministers, Lin Shushou, who almost single-handedly raised one thousand taels of tax money to make up for the tax arrears, is a meritorious official of Feng Zhi County.
It's really unkind to help outsiders deal with the heroes, and it will also chill other people in the county government.
But he is about to leave office, so he still cares about what other people in the county government think of him? And whether he is disappointed or not?
For the sake of my personal future, I have no choice but to go against my will!
As the saying goes, if a person does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth!
Feng Zhixian finished the psychological construction and ordered the on-duty yamen officer: "Password to Lin Tai for coming to court!"
Lin Tailai usually did not work in the county government office, so the government officials could only run out to find someone.
More than half an hour later, Lin Tailai, who was summoned, entered the county government hall and saluted Magistrate Feng:
"I am actively collecting tax arrears in the district. I don't want to be summoned by the great master. What do you want me to do?"
Feng Zhixian asked: "Yesterday at the elegant gathering in Qiuzhiyuan, why did you invite Prime Minister Guo instead of me?"
Professor Lin, who knew everything about this kind of question, was well prepared and quickly answered:
"The good master learned that the gathering place is in Qiuzhiyuan, which belongs to Changzhou County.
As the magistrate of the Zhengtang County of Wu County, the eldest man is very powerful and has a lot of movement outside the country, so it is really easy to confirm the facts.
What's more, the elder had just had a quarrel with Changzhou County, and in the blink of an eye he went across the border to Changzhou County. He couldn't get over it in face, and he was easily criticized by Xiaoxiao.
In comparison, the second master of Zuotang is more convenient to move and has less criticism."
Professor Lin's explanation was reasonable and reasonable, and it also secretly promoted his status as a magistrate. There was nothing wrong with it at all.
But Feng Zhixian said angrily: "That's nonsense! You clearly saw that my official was about to leave office, so you felt contemptuous, so you deliberately perfunctory me!"
But the county magistrate can still be in office for two years, so you rush to curry favor with him!
Look at what you have done, you are really without authority and acting wantonly!"
Lin Tailai: "???"
Damn it! The one who really steps on the horse is just trying to incriminate himself, so there is no need to worry! The sky is clear! There is no need for it!
Also, is your county magistrate born in the year of Dog? Will you fall out at any time?
Then Professor Lin immediately realized that this must be someone who couldn't afford it and was playing dirty tricks!
Then I heard Feng Zhixian yell: "You can't even tell the difference between big and small, so you don't have to be a food science writer!"
Last year, the county suffered from waterlogging, and this year we are repairing the river embankments ahead of schedule!
Now that the river workers are short of people, I will enlist you as a laborer, which can be regarded as taking advantage of your physical strength.
Whether you are a grain clerk or a river banker, you are all working for the government, so you should do it yourself!"
This is the power of the official in the main hall. County affairs can be decided with just one word!
Lin Tailai sighed and said to County Magistrate Feng: "Can the County Lord convey a message to the nobleman who lives in Gusu Yili?
Matters in the literary world are best resolved within the literary world. It is not good to escalate or expand the struggle, and he cannot afford it!"
Feng Zhixian: "."
You, Lin Tailai, became like this after being called "jinbu" respectfully a few times?
The rules themselves are set by those in power, so why can't you play with them? What chips do you have to play with?
