In fact, the military preparation yamen is not far from Qianhu Station, and it is only a few steps away. Liu Chengfeng and Wang Tao took a team of lieutenants out, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived at the military preparation yamen. The gatekeepers at the military preparation yamen met.
After a moment, he went in and reported it. In a short while, dozens of officials from all sizes and big and small in Northern Tongzhou came out together.
Huang Zhen was quite fat, but his face was a little dark and smart and tough. When he saw Liu Chengfeng, he stroked his beard and smiled at Liu Chengfeng, holding an air.
As an inspector, it is certain that he should be posing. Liu Chengfeng is a fifth-rank military officer, while Huang Zhen is a third-rank official. His status is very different. Even if he invites Liu Chengfeng to the banquet, he will not be able to be respectful.
Liu Chengfeng met and bowed to Huang Zhen with both hands, saying, "Sir, I'm too late to be humble."
Huang Zhen then put down his airs, smiled and said warmly: "No, no, no, no." After that, he introduced Liu Chengfeng to Liu Chengfeng one by one. What disappointed Liu Chengfeng was that he was guarding him.
The eunuch Wang Deli did not come.
In addition, one of the four counties under Beitongzhou did not come. Instead, the local county magistrate came. When the county magistrate came to recommend himself, Huang Zhen's face was obviously not very good.
Although Huang Zhen is a military preparation and the superiors of these county magistrates are the magistrate of Beitongzhou, it would be fine if the eunuchs in charge of the garrison were not here. After all, they are people from the palace, and everyone is not subordinate to each other. Whether they come or not depends on their interest.
But a county magistrate, who was treating him alone, has not come yet, so Huang Zhen's face is naturally not good-looking.
He asked the county magistrate lightly and said, "Is it because Wuqing County is very busy with official business?"
The county magistrate was a little nervous and said, "No, no, no..."
Huang Zhen's face became even darker and he said, "Since that is the case, why didn't the magistrate Zheng come?"
The county magistrate's face was pale, but he did not take any action against the Zheng County Magistrate Zheng. He said terrified: "I said I wanted to come early this morning, and I specially asked someone to come to the palace. Who knew that the Xiaguan waited left and right
, the magistrate was not seen on the Changting side. Seeing that there was not much time, the officials had to come first."
Huang Zhen snorted coldly, said nothing, changed his smile at Liu Chengfeng, and said, "Lu Qianhu laughed."
Everyone entered the Bingbaoyao Office together. The Bingbaoyao Office did not look grand and magnificent. There were tables and chairs in the flower hall in the backyard, four or five large tables, dozens of seats. Liu Chengfeng and Huang Zhen sat in the chairperson's seat.
Zhou Tai, the governor of Beitongzhou, sat in the lower position of Liu Chengfeng, and the other three counties had the magistrates. Everyone sat down, but they were not in a hurry to have wine and vegetables. In this silent hall, Huang Zhen and Liu
Riding the wind began to greet each other.
"Liu Qianhu is from the capital. Are you used to living in Beitongzhou? I know that something happened to Qianhu Institute recently. It is now on the cusp of the storm. Liu Qianhu must be careful. If there is anything to help, please make a sound
Hey, that's it."
Liu Chengfeng smiled and thanked him. Huang Zhen waved his hand seriously and said, "What are you saying? Since everyone is an official in Beitongzhou, Liu Qianhu came to Beitongzhou with the order this time, how can I remain indifferent? Bei
Tongzhou is not peaceful, so I, the Censor, also has great responsibility."
After Huang Zhen finished speaking, Liu Chengfeng raised his cup and toasted Huang Zhen. Huang Zhen picked up the cup and took a sip. He stopped after a brief taste, and said, "I have a disease on my body. I can't drink too much of this wine. Liu
Don’t blame thousands of households.”
Huang shook the cup, and the officials of all sizes in the flower hall began to move the wine bottles one after another. The previous silence suddenly broke, making it more lively.
Zhou Tai, the prefect sitting opposite Liu Chengfeng, also drank a glass of wine and said to Liu Chengfeng with a smile: "The Administrator has been worried about labor for Beitongzhou in recent years, and his health has become worse and worse, just like the previous ones
I almost fainted in the military preparatory yamen. After four or five days of rest, my health improved."
When Zhou Tai said this, Huang Zhen's face seemed a little cold, as if he was blaming Zhou Tai for being too verbally speaking, but Liu Chengfeng was a little interested in this matter and said, "Oh? I fainted? Liu Chengfeng was a little familiar with it.
If the advisor does not bother with some medical skills, can he report his condition?”
Zhou Tai said: "The condition is nothing. It's fine a few days ago. It was that day. His face was very pale and he fainted suddenly."
"Suddenly pale?" Liu Chengfeng was stunned for a moment.
Huang Zhen coughed and said lightly: "Master Zhou, have you said more?"
Zhou Tai smiled embarrassedly and didn't say anything else.
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but look at Huang Zhen strangely, and saw that Huang Zhen's face was rosy. Speaking of which, there were many symptoms of fainting, but it should never happen to people like Huang Zhen. Most fainting is anemia or hypotension.
It caused, but Huang Zhen's face now does not look like anemia? Unless... he loses too much blood, but...
Liu Chengfeng chuckled softly, feeling that he was too careless. Who is Huang Zhen? How could a third-rank official in the court lose too much blood?
The topic naturally turned elsewhere. Huang Zhen talked about the customs and customs of Beitongzhou. In fact, Beitongzhou is only a few steps away from the capital. What is the customs and customs of Beitongzhou? In fact, there is not much difference between it and the capital. Liu Chengfeng felt that Huang Zhen seemed to be
I'm deliberately hiding something, deliberately looking for topics, and improving my attention.
He was not a fool either, so of course he no longer asked the truth, so he deliberately showed that he was very interested in the customs and customs of Beitongzhou.
After three rounds of drinking, the conversation gradually became warmer. Zhou Tai, the governor of Beitongzhou, felt a little bored because he was previously distorted by Huang Zhen, so he told some jokes more vigorously, which made everyone laugh.
As he was speaking, a small official hurried in, looking shocked and said, "Sir... Sir..."
The sudden sound made the flower hall quiet again. Huang Zhen's face turned pale and asked lightly: "What's so rough? What's wrong?"
The minor official had no time to salute and said bluntly: "There is an accident... News came from Wuqing County that it was said that Wuqing County Magistrate Zheng Sheng was assassinated and died in his own house."
"ah……"
There were immediately panic and surprised sounds from the flower hall. Originally, the assassination was limited to the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang, but now even the Wuqing County Magistrate has been assassinated. This means that the rebels have already targeted the prefect and the magistrate's office.
I am afraid that everyone's life safety is not guaranteed.
The county magistrate of Wuqing County was even more shocked and said in a crying voice: "What's wrong... What's wrong? It's still fine early this morning, why..."
Not only him, but also Zhou Tai, the governor of Beitongzhou, looked surprised and his soul was not around.
A surprise flashed on Huang Zhen's face, but this surprise passed by, and then he seemed calm and calm, and said slowly: "Speak clearly, how did you die?"
The minor official said: "Early in the morning, the county magistrate Zheng Sheng still ordered in the house to prepare a car and sedan chair, saying that he wanted to come to the city, and asked someone to go to the county magistrate to say hello and invite the county magistrate.
The lord went with him. Everyone in the mansion was ready, but when he waited, the magistrate Zheng still did not come out of the room. The people outside urged him several times, and they all felt strange. This time, the magistrate Zheng came to the mansion, but
The inspector invited him, why is he still delaying now? So a manager knocked on the door, but there was no movement inside. In the end, the wife went to open the door himself, and found that the magistrate of Wuqing was dead on his couch.
On, someone inserted his chest into his heart with a dagger."
Everyone took a deep breath again. The magistrate of Wuqing County died in the inner yard. This means that the rebels wanted to kill people, which was simply unpredictable.
Liu Chengfeng's brows frowned deeply. He thought that the next target of the remnants of the Ming Cult should be himself, but this time he died a county magistrate.
What does the death of this county magistrate have to do with the rebels?
Liu Chengfeng raised his eyes and glanced at Huang Zhen, who looked at him at the same time.
The two of them looked at each other and both understood each other's thoughts.
Liu Chengfeng's eyes asked Huang Zhen that the death of the county magistrate of Wuqing County should be investigated by military preparations, but this matter is very likely to involve the rebellion, so as the Jinyiwei Qianhu,
Liu Chengfeng naturally had to ask about it. Did Liu Chengfeng want to ask Huang Zhen whether this was the matter of the military official or the Jinyiwei.
Huang Zhen's eyes were a little unhappy, and he seemed to be a little disgusted with Liu Chengfeng's intention to interfere with the Zheng Sheng case.
After all, Zheng Sheng was under the Bing Beidao and had such a murder case. Is it still unknown whether it involves the rebellion? The Jinyiwei was so anxious to interfere, which really refuted the Bing Beidao's face.
Then, Huang Zhen said lightly: "Liu Qianhu, this matter is very important. It is very likely that it was caused by the unrest. It is better to do this. The matter will be investigated by the prefect and the Qianhukou Institute. How about it?"
This is a compromise. Liu Chengfeng nodded and said, "I am willing to obey the orders of the Lord."
A banquet ended unhappily. Although everyone was at home, there was a little panic in their eyes.
Huang Zhen sent Liu Chengfeng and others out. When he returned to the yamen from the middle gate, his face looked very bad. He called a clerk and said angrily: "This Liu Chengfeng, hum... he really knows how to go up the pole.
I just politely asked him to investigate, and he really agreed. Those who don’t know even think that I have no one in the military preparations and have to rely on him for everything.”
The clerk was so arrogant that he dared not show up. In fact, it was simple. If a county magistrate died, the court would definitely ask him to ask the military to take a note of the matter. No matter what, he would have to ask the prefect to investigate. If it was found out that it was related to the chaos.
, it is no problem to transfer the case directly to Qianhu Office. However, the case has not yet been determined, and the Jinyiwei is eager to intervene. When the court asks, wouldn't he be regarded as incompetent as a military preparation?
?
Huang Zhen narrowed his eyes, then smiled faintly, and said, "Since Liu Chengfeng is so anxious, the official will give him some color, go and notify the East Factory to quickly explain the case to the East Factory, wait.
Let’s see, Dongchang will not be indifferent.”
The clerk nodded and replied, "Yes."
