Chapter 1280: Catching corruption for the country, but visiting a wise man
At this point, the matter has come to light. Whether Wang Meng and others accept it or not, that is how it is!
The impeachment of Liu Wannian, Taiping County Magistrate and others was wrong, a big mistake! It was purely a false accusation and spreading rumors to cause trouble!
Not only did Zhu Pingan have no faults, on the contrary, in terms of flood fighting and disaster relief, Zhu Pingan was the best in Jiangnan!
"The ancients said: Great loyalty is like cheating, great truth is like hypocrisy. Honesty is not something I can deceive. I wanted to catch a great corrupt man for the country, but unexpectedly I went back to visit a great sage. Most of the south of the Yangtze River was hit by floods, and the fields were filled with mourners and miserable people.
Only Jingnan is in good shape. There is sufficient food and rice in the territory, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is like a paradise in the world. Zhu Ping'an cannot be underestimated."
Xu Hai couldn't help but sigh, and then said to everyone, "Now that the truth has been revealed, we no longer need to conceal our identities. Let's go to the Jingnan County Yamen to meet this great sage who was almost wronged by us."
So, Xu Hai, Tan Lun and their entourage went to the Jingnan County Government Office and revealed their identities and intentions to the concierge.
It turned out that they were adults from the capital. The concierge hurriedly kowtowed and saluted. After hearing that they wanted to see Zhu Ping'an, he replied with an embarrassed look: "I'm sorry, sirs, the county magistrate is not at the county office at the moment. The county magistrate personally took over the East Lake.
In the work-for-relief project area, I spend most of my time in the East Lake project area, or inspecting other work-for-relief projects, and only come back at night. My lords, please wait at the county office for a while, and I will go and report to the county magistrate.
"
Hearing that Zhu Ping'an was in the East Lake Work-for-Relief Project Area, Xu Hai waved his hand and said there was no need to bother, they could just go to East Lake directly.
Therefore, Xu Hai and others went directly to East Lake, accompanied by the subordinate officials and servants left behind in the county government.
When they arrived at the East Lake Engineering Area, Xu Hai and others found Zhu Ping'an with the help of Jingnan County Yaxu officials.
After seeing Zhu Pingan himself, Xu Hai and others couldn't help but open their mouths wide, with the corners of their mouths twitching slightly.
In their sight, on a dusty construction site, Zhu Ping'an had his official uniform tucked into his waist, his sleeves rolled up halfway, holding a shovel and digging with a group of people. He stretched out his foot to step on the shovel and waved his arm.
A shovelful of soil fell into the basket next to it, not to mention how skillful the movement was.
He has an honest face and is dirty all over, like a young man with muddy legs. If it weren't for the magistrate and official in him, Xu Hai and others would never believe that the man in front of them is the Zhu Ping'an they are looking for!
"County Lord, County Lord, the imperial envoy from the capital is here." Liu Dianshi trotted forward in a hurry to remind Zhu Ping'an.
"Ah?! Why are the imperial envoys from the capital here?! Has the Holy One sent people to provide disaster relief?!" Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but be surprised. Wasn't the imperial court temporarily unable to provide disaster relief? Why did the imperial envoys come to Jingnan?
"The county magistrate doesn't even know how humble his position is."
Liu Dianli shook his head. He was only responsible for leading the way. Xu Hai and others maintained their identities and did not talk to them much along the way.
"No problem, I'll go and see you." Zhu Ping'an waved his hand and handed the shovel in his hand to the people standing aside.
"I've seen all the ministers, I've seen the princes of the government, and all the lords of Wangzhi County are here. I'm sorry for the loss of safety, but I hope you'll forgive me." Zhu Ping'an trotted forward and held hands with Xu Hai, Tan Lun, Taiping County Magistrate and others.
A gift at first sight.
"Master Zhu is so polite." Xu Hai, Tan Lun and others returned the greeting with smiles. At this moment, they thought Zhu Ping'an was very pleasing to their eyes.
"Nice to meet you." Wang Meng and others responded with a nonchalant expression, as if they owed eight million.
"I have met Lord Zhu."
The magistrate of Taiping County had a mournful look on his face and returned the gift, which made Zhu Ping'an look twice.
What's wrong with this guy?! Why does he look like he's constipated? Is it possible that adults have three urgent needs that they can't hold back?!
Zhu Ping'an couldn't help but sneered.
"Hey, Zhang Baihu, you came here to inspect Taicang. Thanks to Zhang Baihu's help, Ping An was able to live up to his mission. He has never been able to thank Ping An. Zhang Baihu must give Ping An a chance this time."
When Zhu Ping'an was receiving the gift, he found an old acquaintance, Zhang Guyi, the famous blood-dropping sword in the capital. It was thanks to Zhang Guyi's help that he inspected Taicang in the first place, so he couldn't help but smile and went up to say hello.
"Haha, Mr. Xiao Zhu said something serious. The Za family was also acting under orders at the beginning. How can I deserve Mr. Xiao Zhu's thanks? I haven't seen you for half a year. Mr. Xiao Zhu is safe and well." Zhang Guyi replied with a smile and clasped his fists.
"I have met Mr. Zhu. The last general, Mr. Tan Lun, the commander of the new military camp in Taizhou Prefecture. The last general has long admired Mr. Zhu's name."
Zuo Zhen took the initiative to step forward and salute, and was very respectful to Zhu Pingan. At this moment, his admiration for Zhu Pingan deepened.
In his eyes, Zhu Ping'an's rolled-up sleeves, the clothes tucked around his waist, and the dust all over his body looked like he was covered with medals of glory!
He sets an example, practices what he does, and takes the lead. Mr. Zhu is worthy of being Mr. Zhu, and he is truly a role model for our generation.
At this moment, Zuo Zhen's eyes were shining, and the whole group of fans in the ancient version were at a large-scale scene where they met their idol.
"General Zuo's words are serious." Zhu Ping'an's mouth twitched a little, and he distanced himself from Zuo Zhen without any trace.
Damn it, why did this guy’s eyes light up when he saw me?! Could it be that he has some abnormal hobby or abnormal orientation?!
In this era, the wind direction is not right, there is a lot of southerly wind
The heroic deeds of Yan Shifan, Luo Longwen and others who knew men and became better than men are no longer a secret in the capital.
There is also Xu Chong's "Nuan Shu You Bi": At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty and Zhengde, the most favored ministers were those who entered the "Lao'er Dang" and other generations, and they all selected young and handsome ministers to be them.
All children are fond of men.
Thinking of this, Zhu Ping'an distanced himself from Zuo Zhen without leaving a trace and kept a distance from him.
"Haha, Mr. Zhu, it's not that you are out of touch with your welcome, but that you are out of character."
The trip failed, and the impeachment was not successful but Zhu Pingan was fulfilled. Wang Meng was not angry and took the opportunity to insinuate that Zhu Pingan rolled up his sleeves, unbuttoned his clothes, and his dusty image was unbecoming and embarrassing to the scholar-bureaucrats.
Although Zhang Wenbo and Peng Cheng did not agree, they twitched their lips and showed a hint of disdain.
What's going on? I owe you money?! Seeing the sarcastic expressions of Wang Meng and others, Zhu Pingan couldn't help but be startled.
"Yes, yes, I'm here to teach you. He's being rude."
Zhu Ping'an twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a simple and honest smile. He looked like he would correct his mistakes right away.
I don't know whether I brushed the dust off my body intentionally or not, but my movements were quite large.
As a result, after Zhu Pingan arranged this, dust suddenly flew up and rushed towards Wang Meng, Peng Cheng and others, almost knocking them over. They choked and rolled their eyes, coughed repeatedly, covered their mouths and noses, and slapped them with their hands.
