Domineering Daming

"Finally, I still know some scruples."

Zhou Yanru looked slightly relaxed, waved his hands and said, "Let him come here."

"Yes." The servant agreed, and hurried to invite him.

Zhang Pu was wearing a blue cotton padded jacket with a large "Fu" character embroidered on his chest, and walked into Zhou Yanru's study with his head held high.

Zhou Yanru looked at the person coming, his eyes were high, his eyebrows were high, his eyes were like bright stars, he was a handsome young man.

"Qantu, here you go, sit down." Zhou Yanru looked at the younger generation's posture, and said with a smile to the account book: "The old man wanted to see you a long time ago."

Zhang Pu looked at Zhou Yanru, sneered from the bottom of his heart, clasped his fists as usual, and said, "Students also want to visit Mr. Zhou as soon as possible, but Brother Chen has been unwilling to introduce him. A few days ago, he promised to introduce me, but then he disappeared again. , the students had no choice but to find it brazenly."

Zhou Yanru heard him mention Chen Yutai, his expression was slightly cold, and he continued to smile: "Yu Tai, there are some things, I left a few days ago, Gandu, you are late."

Seeing that Zhou Yanru is really a hypocrite with duplicity, Zhang Pu immediately exposed it: "Really? Brother Chen borrowed 3000 taels of silver from me before to bribe Mr. Feng Ge, and agreed to return it today. I don't know Mr. Zhou, can you?" Repay it on your behalf, so as to save the students another trip."

Zhou Yanru's face turned livid suddenly, Zhang Pu even announced the bribery of Feng Quan, obviously this is going to be forced to come to the door!

He sat on the chair, looked at Zhang Pu and said coldly: "Tell me, why are you here today?"

Zhang Pu saw that Zhou Yanru had finally torn his face, so he said bluntly: "Master Zhou, if you want to keep your official position and reputation, you can do a few things for me!"

With indifference in Zhou Yanru's eyes, he said with a sneer: "I am a dignified third-rank official, how could I be threatened by a young man like you, even if Feng Quan stood in front of me, he would not dare to talk to me like that! "

Zhang Pu was unmoved, and said with a blank look, "Since I'm here, I'm not afraid of death, but Mr. Zhou wants to die with me, and the student will be honored."

The savage is afraid of the violent, and the violent is afraid of death.

Zhou Yanru rushed to his head in a flash of anger, wishing he could kill someone on the spot!

But he is also very clear that killing Zhang Pu is useless, and it will anger Feng Quan behind him.

Zhou Yanru clutched the chair tightly with dead wood branches, his heart was full of anger, his eyes were as cold as electricity, staring straight at Zhang Pu, with a stern glow.

Zhang Pu did not back down, his eyes were piercing, he was upright, and he did not retreat an inch!

After a while, Zhou Yanru's eyes twitched, and he said coldly, "What do you want me to do?"

Zhang Pu sneered, he would have arrived a long time ago, a person like Zhou Yanru would be obedient and obedient.He took out a piece of paper from his arms, handed it to Zhou Yanru, and said in a condescending tone: "These people, I want you to help them up!"

Zhou Yanru frowned, this Feng Quan's taste is really great!

He did not expect that these decisions were entirely made by Zhang Pu alone!He can't trust Zhou Yanru, and he can't trust Feng Quan either!

Zhou Yanru lowered his head and glanced, and immediately frowned.

In the list given to him by Zhang Pu, all the people on it were either Donglin people who escaped in the wild, or people who were dismissed from Jiangnan who sympathized with and supported the restoration of society.

These people, either once held important positions, or were in charge of a domain, are not anonymous people, but they are all on the "black list" of the imperial court, who dares to use them easily?

Zhou Yanru looked indifferent, looked up at Zhang Pu and said indifferently: "I can promote none of these people."

Zhang Pu looked down at him with his hands behind his back, and said with a cold snort, "Of course I know, these are for you to look at first, and you know it in your heart. It won't take long before you will reuse it. That's when you will play a role." .”

He is a dignified third-rank official, a member of the Wenzhao Pavilion, and he has become a dispensable pawn in the mouth of a white-clothed man who has no fame, shouting around? !

There was killing intent in Zhou Yanru's eyes, and he quickly covered it up, and said with a livid face, "What are you doing? Let me tell you, the current capital is not the Tianqi Dynasty, and it is not a place where you mess around!"

Zhang Pu's expression couldn't be ridiculed, and he said: "No matter what, it's still the same as it is. Back then, the Donglin sages were able to exorcise evil and use righteousness, and all the righteous people were able to prosper the court. Today, I can do the same!"

Zhou Yanru's eyes flickered with disdain, and the corner of his mouth sneered faintly.

After Zhang Pu finished all this, he was very happy in his heart, and he ignored Zhou Yanru any more, and said in a rather expectant tone: "Don't worry, as long as the big event is completed, I will not say anything about today's matter. You are needed to work!"

Zhou Yanru couldn't tell that this was to appease him, his expression was cold, and he didn't say a word.

Zhang Pu is like a lunatic, talking too much is useless.

Seeing that Zhou Yanru didn't speak, Zhang Pu also knew that he should not be forced too quickly, so he raised his hand and said, "Master Zhou, the student will leave."

Zhou Yanru remained silent, looking at Zhang Pu coldly.

Zhang Pu was unrestrained, and after saluting, he laughed, turned around and went out.

The servant was startled, just as he was about to come in, he saw a teacup flying out and smashing at the door.

The servants were as quiet as a cicada, they all stayed far away and did not dare to approach.

Sitting inside, Zhou Yanru's face was gloomy and changing, and the endless anger in his heart could not be vented, let alone a single word!

He was so bored that his teeth were about to be crushed.

"Master." Suddenly, a servant timidly approached the door and said in a low voice.

Zhou Yanru's eyes were grim, and he said coldly, "What's the matter?"

The servant took a careful look inside and said, "King Xin sent someone to send a message asking you to appease the scholars blocking the entrance of the palace."

Zhou Yanru's face changed slightly, Zhang Pu had just left, and King Xin actually asked him to appease those scholars!

His heart seemed to explode, his brows were furrowed like a knife, and it took him a while to say three words, "Got it."

After a while, Zhou Yanru tidied up his clothes and came out, his face calm as usual, expressionless and stern.

Zhou Yanru took a deep breath, went out, sat in the carriage, and rushed to the gate of the palace.

He has already figured it out, now he must stabilize Feng Quan, he needs time to deal with Chen Yutai's fraud, as long as this matter is resolved, he will no longer be subject to Feng Quan!

Not long after, he came to the gate of the palace, and saw nearly a hundred scholars shouting around the gate of the palace, demanding that the imperial court thoroughly investigate the "examination leak case".

With a sullen face and full of imposing manner, he stood on the carriage with the posture of a senior Confucian, and shouted at the group of scholars: "Enough! It's all gone, the court has the court's law, how can you allow you to be presumptuous, and let the old man scatter!" Already!"

Xiong Wenju was in the crowd, most of these people were instigated by him, his eyes changed slightly when he saw it, and he shouted at Zhou Yanru: "Zhou Yanru, dog official, he is a corrupt official who cheated, hit him!"

"Hit him!"

Nearly a hundred scholars were already excited, and when they heard Xiong Wenju's shout, they rushed over without thinking.

Chapter 470 Deep Reform

Zhou Yanru was not yet 40 years old, but a group of young scholars rushed over, and he was still shocked.

"What are you doing, this is Mr. Zhou Yanru Zhou!" The groom was in a hurry, trying to stand in front of Zhou Yanru.

"Corrupt officials, everyone gets it and punishes them!"

"kill him!"
