Take the system back to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 125 Three Big Crickets
Zhang Ji smiled again: "Your Majesty Wang, you can speak directly if you have something to say. There is no need to have a deep chat alone. Ji will not stay for a long time, and he is just visiting as a courtesy."

Wang Fu was not happy when he heard it, but it was inconvenient to get angry with Zhang Ji, so he frowned and looked at Zhao Cheng, "Why don't you leave by yourself?"

Zhao Cheng really wanted to avoid this person, but there was a problem that he didn't want this guy to entangle Zhang Ji, so he shook his head slightly, "Forgive me, my lord, the students have many important questions to ask the teacher for advice. said."

A trace of anger flashed in Wang Fu's eyes, and then he began to look Zhao Cheng squarely.It seems that such a mud-legged person would refuse his request at all?

Zhang Ji was a little worried.Of course she was not afraid of Wang Fu. The problem was that she felt something was wrong. Generally speaking, Zhang Ji’s judgment on this person should be avoided. Really, she would rather offend Cai Jingdu and try not to interact with this kind of person. This was Zhang Ji’s perception.

So out of love, Zhang Ji looked at Zhao Cheng and said, "Forget it, you should leave first. Come to me after your academic problems. I can barely be regarded as his classmate. It's okay to chat here."

Zhao Cheng hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Zhao Cheng is leaving, and I won't disturb your lord and sir."

"Zhao Yasi, I am really curious about you now. I just heard about you from the young lady of the Cai family. You are such a mud-legged person. I heard that you are still a martial arts practitioner. How did you become a scholar? How did you do it?"

Wang Fu was very angry and laughed instead, and now he is not allowed to leave.

"It's an impossible question to answer."

Zhao Cheng said, "Because according to this logic, it seems that Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and Fubi are not even qualified to be scholars?"

Zhang Ji almost laughed, but blamed him for being too sharp now, and glared at him.

"Are you academically motivated or do you not know what to do? Do you know who you are talking to?" Wang Fu looked mad with nowhere to exert himself.

Zhang Ji shook his head slightly, motioning Zhao Cheng not to answer this sentence, and replied instead, "Lord Wang has not been an official for a few years, and his authority is so great that Zhang Ji was too scared to speak. He obviously He is talking to his teacher as a student. But Ji is anxious to ask Mr. Wang, who is Ji talking to, and should he worry about saying the wrong thing and offending Mr. Wang?"

It was only then that Wang Fu realized that he had lost his composure due to anger, and clasped his fists at Zhang Ji in embarrassment: "Don't dare, sir, you can say whatever you want."

Zhang Ji, Zhao Cheng, and Wang Fu are undoubtedly the most concerned people at the moment.

The three of them got together, and it was only a matter of time before they could attract everyone's attention, not to mention the louder voices and the smell of gunpowder getting stronger.

At this moment, it seems to have temporarily become the center of this place, and people with various thoughts gradually gather here.

Some people are worried, some people are excited, and most people are not too serious about watching gossip.In short, these people who are the most talked about at the moment seem to have a fierce collision now. No matter who is chasing who, this is considered a grand event in Song Dynasty.

Rumors are popular in the Song Dynasty, whether it is fighting tea, fighting poetry, fighting crickets, sumo wrestling, horse racing, etc., the essence is rancor.

Now there is a great beauty here, there is a down-and-out scholar who is the most prominent in Chizhou, and there is an upstart who was born as a Jinshi.In the eyes of those who are troublesome, it is like three big crickets getting together, and when someone comes over and strokes the cricket's head with a brush a few times, it will enter a state of anger.

"There seems to be a sumo wrestling over there!"

"Sumo won't be enough, but I guess it's going to be Wendou."

"A beauty is a disaster, but wherever there are beautiful women, there will be cockfights."

"To be reasonable, being hit by Zhang Ji's flood a few times... being a ghost is not worth it."

In this regard, they discussed one after another and moved closer.Even Cai Wenji and He Zhi stopped paying attention.

Apart from being curious, this scene made Cai Wenji a little embarrassed. Really, she and He Zhi's limelight was a little bit stolen by Zhang Ji and Zhao Cheng?

Unconvinced, Cai Wenji also followed, she and He Zhi pushed aside the crowd, "Get out of the way, Miss, let me go in and see what's going on, what's so exciting."

Squeezing in for a look, Cai Wenji was a little disappointed, as there was no big scene as imagined.It's just that Zhao Cheng remained silent, while Wang Fu stared at Zhao Cheng with an incomprehensible expression.

Seeing such a big commotion and being surrounded by people watching, Zhang Ji was a little panicked, not knowing how to explain the situation.

Su Zaifang, who had always been at odds with Zhao Cheng, and Zhu Xiao, the head of Guichi County, watched with cold eyes and gloated.

In particular, Zhu Xiao knew Wang Fu's character better, and knew that this matter was not so easy to calculate. Wang Fu's character, this time he would definitely not let Zhao Cheng go easily.

Because of Peizhi County, it is inconvenient for Zhu Xiao to embarrass Zhao Cheng at ordinary times, but now it is worth seeing that Wang Fu does not need to worry about people from Peizhi County.

Wang Fu kept squinting at Zhao Cheng.

To be honest, it's not just about spats and jealousy now.This time Wang Fu came here not passing by, but with a transfer order from the Ministry of Officials, and officially took up the post of Chizhou Manager to join the army.Now that it has attracted so much attention, if Zhao Cheng is left in the limelight, Wang Wei feels that his prestige as a new official will be severely damaged. In the short term, no one will listen to him and he will be unable to do things.

Now even if you want to give Zhang Ji face and calm things down, you can't do it. With so many people watching, it's like being chased away.

Seeing that Cai Wenji and He Zhi had also come over, Wang Wei felt even more pressured, and said coldly with an overbearing attitude: "Zhao Cheng, do you really think that this official can't rule you? How dare you openly challenge this official's authority in public? "

Zhao Cheng said: "Your Excellency clearly sees that Zhao Cheng didn't mean that, and he really didn't provoke."

Zhu Xiao secretly laughed, and waited for a good show.Because they are all people who have news from the court in advance, Wang Fu is indeed here to serve in Chizhou this time.

Cai Wenji suddenly asked curiously: "By the way, why are you making such a fuss?" Then she looked at Zhang Ji.

Everyone was taken aback.But this is not a very important matter. Literati have always been like this, and they will gradually escalate when they talk about it.

The reason for raising the bar was never important, but Wang Fu saw too many people, and it was inconvenient to be too annoyed. After thinking about it, he found a reason and said, "Zhao Cheng, I didn't mean to make things difficult for you when I was new. It's not that you can't tolerate people with small stomachs, but that you have heard too many rumors about you."

Hearing that this guy came here to work, Zhao Cheng really felt that it was troublesome, which means that he has the right to govern in this place.

After a moment of hesitation, Zhao Cheng said, "Please point out Zhao Cheng's mistakes?"

Wang Fu said calmly, "I heard that you secretly made trouble with the bandits in the cottage, and also heard that you collected money for the river defense business that is related to people's livelihood, and released laborers to return home early in violation of regulations. There are also rumors that you There was a strong conflict in Dong Jianwu's head. Afterwards, Dong Jianwu was framed and imprisoned. When I took office for a new term, I found the official document of Dong Jianwu's arrest issued by your military detainee in violation of regulations, but there was no follow-up file. The dignified head of the capital has now mysteriously disappeared. .”

Wang Fu's excuses made the people around him turn pale.For the time being, he forgot that he was arguing with Zhao Cheng, on the contrary, he was a bit of an upright official who enforced the law fairly.

Even if Cai Wenji wanted to see Zhao Cheng act a bit of a clown, now she started to have some doubts about Wang Fu. Is this like Wang Fu secretly changing the concept and changing the topic?

Zhang Ji sneered, too lazy to talk and watched him continue to perform.In fact, I hated this man with Li Qingzhao at the time, and I really found that he had similar qualities.

"Your Excellency sees it clearly. These things are not fabricated out of thin air. There are really a lot of rumors under Chizhou's rule. Please be aware of the details." Su Zaifang took the opportunity to speak.

After someone supported him, Wang Fu looked at Zhao Cheng honestly and unceremoniously, "Do you think... can this official put you in prison for examination? Just like you persecuted Dong Jianwu?"

"Brotherly invite him to drink tea, why are you still hesitating!"

He was still joking, a group of scholars who usually hated Zhao Cheng's Xiaobaiwen started booing around.

"Catch him! Look at him making up stories to cheat money! He's a literary scum!"

Gradually transitioning to the point of this street rat really made Zhang Ji a little horrified.

Su Zaifang and Zhu Xiao were very comfortable, and continued to wait and watch the play without saying a word.

In fact, Zhao Cheng's crimes listed by Wang Fu are basically all there, but Cai Wenji knows that Dong Jianwu is not being persecuted. In fact, Dong Jianwu's disappearance made Cai Wenji laugh for three days. She is in a good mood and owes Zhao Cheng for this matter. a favor.

Cai Wenji still harbored some evil intentions, and wanted to wait for the scholar to make a fool of himself by Wang Fu, and then intervene to help Zhao Cheng, which could be regarded as returning the favor to him.
