After coming out of the prison, Zhang Bao went directly to Huang Chenzhi's residence.
After hearing from Wu Ming that Huang Chenzhi was Zhu Yue's man, Zhang Bao was very reluctant to believe it.
But this kind of thing would not come out of nowhere, otherwise, they would not be able to locate Huang Chenzhi at once.
And when I think about what happened to Hu Yuanqing, the chief registrar of Hehe County, I did have doubts about Huang Chenzhi for a moment in my mind at that time, but I denied it at the time.
Until today, when this matter was revealed, even if Zhang Bao didn't want to believe it, Huang Chenzhi must have some connection with Zhu Yue.
Zhang Bao didn't want to make this matter a big deal and wanted to talk to Huang Chenzhi first.
At this time, Huang Chenzhi had not returned yet.
After all, Huang Chenzhi, as the county magistrate, still had to deal with such a big issue as the Yamen fire.
When he was in Sanhe County before, Zhang Bao had visited Huang Chenzhi's mansion. He said it was a mansion, but it was just a fairly large courtyard.
Although Huang Chenzhi is now a county magistrate, he has not had any salary from the court during this period of time.
The definition of Heyang County during this period actually ended until Grand Sima Cao Kang acquiesced in the fact that Zhang Bao was the governor of Hezhou, and then it began to be restored.
There is nothing magnificent in the entire courtyard, but the room full of books is very special.
Zhang Bao was already familiar with him, and he knew that there were not many maids to serve him in the Huang Mansion, and it was late at night, so he went straight to the study.
Zhang Bao casually browsed through the various books in the study, which covered many aspects. There were also some written by Huang Chenzhi himself, which were some experiences and ideas about running the county government.
Judging from the traces of this volume, it seems that it was written a long time ago, but it seems that it has been read recently.
Huang Chenzhi had stayed in Sanhe County for so many years as the chief clerk. These things should have been written down at that time, but because these county magistrates didn't care much about it, they were shelved.
It is estimated that after Huang Chenzhi became the county magistrate and had certain rights, he began to implement some of his previous ideas one by one.
Zhang Bao looked through these methods and was greatly touched.
Although he has relatively advanced concepts and ideas, it has to be said that many of Huang Chenzhi's measures are most suitable for the current situation of Sanhe County.
After a while.
Huang Chenzhi's wife brought the tea over with a maid.
"Sir, what did your husband do?"
"Sir, will you come in person today?"
After watching the maid go out, Mrs. Huang did not leave, but asked Zhang Bao.
Zhang Bao looked at Mrs. Huang in front of him with some surprise. He had not had much contact with her before, but he did not expect that she was also a smart person.
"Mrs. Huang is worrying too much. I do have some personal matters, but it's not a big deal."
"Lao Huang and I have known each other for so many years, there is no need to be so quarrelsome."
Zhang Bao smiled and said.
Zhang Bao actually still doesn't want to believe what happened about Huang Chenzhi.
After all, in Zhang Bao's view, Huang Chenzhi has done nothing detrimental to him until now, and he has not even sent out any news about himself.
Otherwise, there was no need for Zhu Yue to look for him at that time.
While Zhang Bao and the others were talking, Huang Chenzhi hurried in.
It seems that he came back after receiving news from his wife.
"Sir, why did you come to my place?"
"Without saying anything in advance, I just led the people to put out the fire in the Yamen."
"The backyard has been tidied up, but it is estimated that it cannot be used for the time being. Judging from the traces of the fire, kerosene should have been used."
Huang Chenzhi said to Zhang Bao.
"Okay, Old Huang, let's sit down and chat. I really have something to do with you."
Zhang Bao smiled and interrupted Huang Chenzhi.
Huang Chenzhi quickly took the towel handed over by his wife and wiped it, and sat next to Zhang Bao.
After Mrs. Huang saw Huang Chenzhi coming back, she wisely walked out.
"Old Huang, those people are here for you, because you are from Zhu Yue, so they are here to get rid of you."
"What do you think?"
Zhang Bao didn't talk nonsense and said straight to the point.
After hearing Zhang Bao's words, Huang Chen was stunned, and then let out a long sigh.
"Actually, I have been thinking about telling you this since you came back."
"But after thinking about it, I still have a little bit of luck."
"But I didn't expect it to be like this."
Huang Chenzhi said slowly...
"Many years ago, before I came to Sanhe County, I was a staff member of the Zhu family. When I was young, I studied hard and always wanted to be successful. But because there was no way to be promoted, I joined the Zhu family."
"Afterwards, under Zhu Yue's arrangement, the vacancy of the chief registrar of Sanhe County was left unchecked."
"But for me, it has always been inconsistent with my ambitions."
"Zhu Yue wants me to be his eyes in Sanhe County, but I always want to do something."
"That's why it has been listed in the main register for so many years."
"Fortunately, there is no valuable news in Sanhe County, so I was gradually forgotten."
"I became disheartened later on and wanted to cut off the relationship with the Zhu family. There was no point in being the chief registrar or the county magistrate. It was only after I met the adults that I rediscovered the meaning of continuing my work."
"A few months ago, I met Zhu Yue in Yueyan Restaurant. Although he recognized me, he did not say hello to me. From that day on, I have been anxiously waiting for news about Zhu Yue."
"But he never came, and then he heard about your going to Liaozhou, and he has been there until now."
"To be honest, I don't know why he hasn't come to me."
Huang Chenzhi briefly told Zhang Bao everything that happened between him and Zhu Yue.
For him.
Very helpless, he can't change his past.
At the same time, he was very calm. After all, he had never done anything to regret Zhang Bao.
Even before.
Huang Chenzhi once imagined that if Zhu Yue really found him and asked him to do something detrimental to Zhang Bao, Huang Chenzhi would rather disobey Zhu Yue's order than do it.
Ever since Zhang Bao appeared, for Huang Chenzhi, after living for most of his life, he finally lived for his dream.
He was very grateful to Zhang Bao.
Although he also knew the consequences of doing so, for Huang Chenzhi, people always have to make their own choices and understand what they want.
And these things were also learned by Huang Chenzhi from Zhang Bao.
