The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 831

Zhang Shuye thought his whereabouts were secret, but when he was tossing and turning in the inn, Chen Zhao had already found out through Zhu Santong.

"The magistrate of the next county is Zhang Shuye. Has he arrived at Pantuo Road Market Town?"

Early the next morning, Brother Qiao Yun came to report again, and Chen Zhao heard the news again.

"Yes! Master Biao!" Zhu Santong said in a deep voice, "This Zhang Shuye was originally a member of Zhongshushe in the capital, but he offended the officials and Cai Jing, and was relegated to the county magistrate next door to us."

"I see." Chen Zhao nodded.

Of course he had heard of Zhang Shuye's name.

This is the original history of suppressing the Song Jiang Uprising, and then led the army to resist the Jin soldiers during the Jingkang disaster. After the failure, he followed the two emperors to hunt north and committed suicide at the border.

In "Water Margin", this person is responsible for recruiting Liang Shanbo.

In any case, he is also a knowledgeable and capable civil servant in the present age. Chen Zhao would like to meet this kind of upright official who has left his name in history.

Chen Zhao smiled lightly, and said, "The chief officer of the herdsmen guarding the land cannot leave the territory under their jurisdiction. If they cross the border, they will leave their posts. Is there such a rule?"

Several subordinates nodded.

"In that case, why did he come across the border?"

"According to the report of the spies under the cloth, they said that they came to the master for tax matters. Isn't Shouzhang not accepting this year?" Zhu Santong continued.

Chen Zhao laughed, and then said with a smile: "Since it is a civil servant who is against Grand Master Cai, he must be well-known. He must not want to accept him because of his reputation, so he came to me."

Skipping this matter aside, Chen Zhao discussed other matters.

Half an hour later, I heard Zhu Xiaoyan report outside the door, saying that Zhang Shuye had been invited over.

After all, people are under the eaves, even people like Zhang Shuye can't stop the bosses, and the polite invitation from them is to give him dignity as a civil servant.

If he doesn't want to be decent, then everyone has to give him a face.

After making arrangements, Zhang Shuye and the others were also brought over. Just as Chen Zhao was about to get up, Zhu Long said with a smile, "Saburo doesn't need to greet the visitors who meet by chance. I'll just welcome them in."

Naturally, Zhang Shuye's bodyguard Ding couldn't bring him in. The job was a bit tense, but Zhang Shuye looked calm and didn't care.

While walking, Zhang Shuye kept looking around, Zhujiazhuang servants and guards, the layout and scenery of this house, he looked at it with a surprised expression on his face.

According to Zhang Shuye's thinking, the cleanliness of the rich and wealthy at the Pantuo Road Market and Zhu Biao's control over the entire Yanggu County must be extremely extravagant and lustful, and his cronies are naturally domineering. None were found.

Everyone is serious, but not arrogant. The house is very tidy, but it has nothing to do with arrogance. So what is the purpose of making it so big?Seeing this, Zhang Shuye not only did not relax, but felt even heavier.

Those who do not intend to enjoy themselves generally have great ambitions.

Chen Zhao was wearing ordinary clothes, but the tailoring was better, the stitches were finer, and it was still eye-catching from a distance, but it was ordinary when he was close.

Zhang Shuye is used to extravagance in the capital, Zhu Biao's clothes are worse than those of the servants in the kitchen of Cai Jing's mansion. The only thing he wears is a purse on the left side of his waist, which seems to be a gift from his wife.

Seeing all this made Zhang Shuye even more speechless, and thought of Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Huang Chao, Zhu Wen for a moment.

But even these people would not remain simple after they had money, would they?

"My lord Zhang came to my humble house. I am sorry to welcome you if you are far away." Chen Zhao's etiquette was very ordinary.

Zhang Shuye calmed down, and also cupped his hands in a salute: "It's presumptuous to come here, it's really disturbing."

"I heard that when Mr. Zhang was in office in Lanzhou, in order to deal with the disturbance of the Qiang people, he wrote to the imperial court to establish the city of Xi'an. Since then, there will be no more troubles from the Qiang people in Lanzhou. Such actions for the country and the people are a testament to your talent."

"Don't dare, don't dare, the name is insulting. I didn't expect King Zhu Long to be such a hero. It's really disrespectful." Zhang Shuye's tone was not right.

After chatting for a while, Zhang Shuye's master coughed and stood up, clasped his fists solemnly and said: "Master Zhu, my lord is here this time to ask Grandpa Biao for help, regarding Shou Zhang's West City rent tax..."

The master talked about idle affairs elegantly, while his confidants were in charge of discussing business affairs. This is also the style of civil servants, and Chen Zhao understood it as soon as he heard it.He smiled and said, "Yes, if there is anything else you need help with, just ask."

Speaking of this, he said to Zhu Xiaoyan next to him, "Remember to arrange for someone to say hello."

Standing beside Chen Zhao, Zhu Xiaoyan agreed with a smile.

Seeing this, Zhang Shuye finally couldn't help asking, "Master Zhu, why do you want to block the Xicheng tax? Are you not afraid of the emperor's wrath?" "

Chen Zhao smiled, and replied: "Since Mr. Zhang was born in an eunuch family and has been an official for many years, he was able to speak out for the emperor Shengming for his crimes, and was demoted for his birthday. Zhu has already been promoted for a public land, so naturally he is not willing." This township and neighboring places have been poisoned by this, so I stepped forward to stop it, but I didn't think much about anything else."

Since the other party answered so frankly, Zhang Shuye didn't hide it anymore. After pondering for a while, he asked again: "Jiang Chen Daitian herdsmen, but the matter of Yanggu's herdsmen, Zhu Daguan did it. Why is this?"

Chen Zhao shook his head with a smile, and said, "I wish you a business and a property, and occasionally help the officials in the yamen with something. How about talking about herdsmen? Mr. Zhang praises me too much."

Zhang Shuye nodded, did not continue to ask, just kept quiet for a while, Zhang Shuye stood up and cupped his fists and said: "This time, thank you for your care, Mr. Zhang will definitely repay you in the future. I hope to see you again someday."

He is a county magistrate who came from across the border, so it is enough to meet the local host, and he dare not stay for dinner.

So I bid farewell on the spot.

Chen Zhao was naturally unwilling to keep him.

After a few words of politeness, the two parties just left the house like this, and Chen Zhao would not send them out of the courtyard. When it was time to say goodbye at the gate of the courtyard, and when he was about to say goodbye, Zhang Shuye hesitated for a while, and asked in a solemn voice: "I wish you all the best!" Officer, you are so talented and capable. I don't know what your ambition is. Can you tell Zhang?

The master's face changed drastically when he heard this.

I wondered what happened to my master?
If there are some words that have not been pointed out, why do you have to ask?
You are not young and energetic, why did you suddenly give up the way of calmness?
What you saw and heard along the way is not enough for you to guess?

How can any knowledgeable person fail to see that some things are taboo?
But on the other party's territory, you have to ask clearly, isn't this self-inflicted and boring?It may even bring disaster.

"Ambition? Zhu's ambition?"

Chen Zhao smiled slightly.

If Zong Ze, who served as the general judge of Dengzhou, asked him this way, Chen Zhao would definitely answer it solemnly.

But you, a defeated general, a civil servant who committed suicide and died for the country, is also worthy of my answer?
But this idea was just a change, Chen Zhao replied with a serious face: "People live for a lifetime, grass and trees for a lifetime, since food and clothing have been solved, naturally pursue something higher. I wrote a poem and sent it to Mr. Zhang, and also to all my friends."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Shuye recited a poem in astonishment.

Bu Operator·Yong Mei

Wind and rain send spring back, and Feixue welcomes spring.

It is a cliff with hundreds of feet of ice, and there are still flowers and branches.

Qiao does not fight for spring, but only reports spring.

When the mountain flowers were blooming, she smiled in the bushes.
