The expression on the Ezhou governor's face had turned into a slight smile. He looked at Tang Ning and asked: Will this delay the errands of the Ministry of Personnel?

Won't

Tang Ning smiled and said: I just remembered that there are still some things I haven't done in Ezhou, so I can only spend two or three days more time, so I won't delay anything. Lord Yu wouldn't dislike him?

No, how could that be... Governor Yu waved his hand and said: I still have some things here, so I won't disturb Lord Tang.

Tang Ning nodded and said: Mr. Yu, please leave.

When the governor walked out of the post station, his face turned completely dark. He walked to the residence of the Censor Zhongcheng, knocked on the door, and strode into it.

The Censor Zhongcheng was packing his luggage. When he saw him coming in, he spoke: Maybe I was wrong, and he seemed to be leaving...

What are you going to do? Governor Yu lowered his face and said: He just said that he would stay in Ezhou for a few more days

It's true!

The Censor Central Censor put down his luggage and said: I guessed nothing wrong. This person is as cunning as a fox and pretended to leave, asking us to relax our guard. Before leaving, we finally showed the fox's tail?

Governor Yu said coldly: No matter whether he is a fox or a tiger, if he wants to make trouble in Ezhou, I will beat him to death and sell him as a shameless person!

The Censor Zhongcheng looked at him and reminded him: Don’t act rashly. He has the Shangfang sword given by His Majesty. He will kill the unruly people from below and kill corrupt officials from above. Be careful.

Shangfang Sword? Yu Governor said disdainfully: This is Ezhou, not the capital. Even if he has Shangfang Sword, he will have to give him the chance to pull it out!

The Censor Zhongcheng looked at him and asked: What do you mean?

A trace of murderous intent flashed through the governor's eyes and said: Jiangnan is not as good as the capital. These Beijing officials are delicate in their bodies. When they arrive here, they are prone to being unacceptable to the local conditions. In recent years, because they are not adapted to the climate of Jiangnan, there are not ten or eight of the Beijing officials who died in Jiangnan...

The Censor Zhongcheng looked at him with great meaning and said: If he died in Ezhou, Shangshu Tang, Concubine Hui of Tang, and His Highness Duan, he would thank Brother Yu...

……

Another room at the post station, all the minor officials from the Ministry of Personnel who were traveling to Jiangnan gathered together

After the doctor left for an hour, Xu Zhanggu woke up, as if he was out of danger.

Tang Ning stood beside the bed, looked at him, and asked: How do you feel?

Xu Zhanggu leaned against the head of the bed, held his head, and said: It's just that his head hurts, but the others are fine...

He looked at Tang Ning and said: Lord Tang, I'm so sorry, because the officials delayed their trip. It's better for Lord Tang and his colleagues to go first. After a few days, the officials will chase after him.

Tang Ning waved his hand and said: No, we have to stay here for a few days, at least we have to get back this account.

A small official seemed to have thought of something, his face changed and said: Sir, you must not...

Tang Ning looked at him and asked: What's wrong?

The subordinates knew that the adults wanted to avenge Xu Zhanggu. The minor official looked at him and said: But this is Ezhou, their territory. The Beijing officials are in Jiangnan and have no support and cannot fight them!

Xu Zhanggu also realized what Tang Ning said just now, and felt warm in his heart, and a look of emotion appeared on his face, saying: Sir, it doesn’t matter, your safety is important...

If you are bullied, how can you not return it? Tang Ning looked at him and asked: Don’t you know what your colleagues in Beijing said about me?

Who doesn’t know the name of the broom star? Who doesn’t know that in Beijing? They not only know that Lord Tang is the broom star, but also know that he is small-minded and petty. Those who have never offended him must be very careful. None of them have a good ending.

Before today, everyone remembered his stinginess and calculating, only funny and contempt. When they experienced his calculating, all they had in their hearts was touching and the ignited passion.

Officials of the Ministry of Personnel were bullied in Jiangnan, and countless people were injured or even killed. But has there been a boss who stood up for them?

Not one!

Just because his subordinates were injured, they had to fight with the local government to the end, and there was no one...

Xu Zhangu's eyes were moist and he choked and said: Lord Tang...

Tang Ning waved his hand and stopped him from continuing, saying: You should recover from your injuries, just leave the rest of the matter to us.

Tang Ning doesn't think he is a troublesome person. In fact, he has no intention of getting involved in Jiangnan's affairs at all.

Whether Ezhou officials are greedy for ink and mining tax or do tricks on commercial tax, they lose the money of the court. Even the court turns a blind eye, so he doesn't have to care.

But he admits he's stingy

Only the wrong name is called, no wrong nickname is called, his titles of broom star and stingy are not revealed out of thin air

It would be fine if the Ezhou officials were honest. He could pretend that some things were not seen, but since they took the initiative to provoke them, if he left without saying a word, he would feel like a stray dog ​​leaving in shame...

After Tang Ning left, he fell into silence in the room.

At one moment, a minor official raised his head and asked: Lord Tang wants to fight these people to the end, what should we do?

What else can I do? A man blushed and said: Follow Lord Tang and fuck them!

The man showed a hint of hesitation on his face and said: But this is Ezhou, not the capital

Ezhou, what's wrong with Ezhou?

Someone showed a sarcastic look on his face and said: Can Ezhou compete with the capital? Are there any old foxes in the capital cunning? Even those in the capital cannot beat Lord Tang, let alone a few small local officials!

Are they really vegetarian when they are broom stars?

Think about it, have you ever been defeated since Lord Tang entered the court?

Lord Xu’s revenge must be avenged!

……

Not long after Tang Ning returned to his room, a knock on the door sounded.

He turned around and saw several minor officials from the Ministry of Personnel walking in

Everyone bowed to him and said: Lord Tang

Tang Ning looked at them and asked: Are you okay?

A small official said with a solemn expression: We know that Lord Tang wants to fight these people in Ezhou to the end, so we specially remind Lord Tang.

Another person interrogated: The tax revenue in Jiangnan has always deducted shortages, which is a stubborn disease of the imperial court. The officials who went to Jiangnan for investigation over the years were either attracted or encountered an unexpected situation. More people did not dare to interfere in the affairs of Jiangnan. This time, the adults would definitely be retaliated by them.

Tang Ning smiled and asked: How to take revenge?

A small official said: A former doctor from the Ministry of Personnel was going to Ezhou to investigate the mining tax. He was killed by a bandit on the way. Two years ago, a censor came to Jiangnan and suffered a serious illness due to discomfort in the local environment and died of untreated disease. Just the day before, he attended a banquet by the local government. This must be the reason why they were involved in it. Lord Tang must be careful.

Tang Ning nodded and said: I understand.

The slight official looked at him and said: No matter what happens, we are standing with Lord Tang

Some officials in Jiangnan thought they were far away from the capital and had indeed reached the point of being unscrupulous.

The court secretly murdered the imperial officials. This happened many times, but the court did not investigate it. It can be seen that the influence of the Jiangnan faction in the court has reached a very far-reaching point.

Of course, this is inevitable. After all, the imperial court was appointed as an official by imperial examinations, and the Jiangnan scholars have always been overwhelming other prefectures, and even the Jingji area was suppressed by them. In the long run, even if the court cannot be controlled by the Jiangnan party, the influence of the Jiangnan faction in the court cannot be underestimated.

However, for Tang Ning, he hoped that the other party would be simpler and more straightforward and do a real sword. He came to suppress the rebellion, and Shang Fang's sword was not covered with blood. When he returned, Emperor Chen thought he was paddling...

Ezhou officials did not disappoint him. That afternoon, Tang Ning received an invitation

An invitation from an Ezhou official to invite him to the banquet tomorrow night
