Hope for luck

Chapter 519 The first confrontation
The governor's office in the south of the Yangtze River is located in the middle of Linjiang City. Because the governor is the largest official in the province, no one dares to say that it occupies the most middle position.

As for the Yingtianfu Yamen and Shangyuan County Yamen, they could only occupy the positions on the east and west sides of the city.

Yingtian Mansion and Guangling Mansion are adjacent to each other, and Jinzhuang Town, which Gao Pan and the others have been to before, is located at the border of the two prefectures, but it happens to be under the jurisdiction of Shangyuan County.

In the lobby of the governor's yamen, Gao Pan is sitting on a chair at the moment, drinking tea slowly, and there are many people waiting in the hall.

At this moment, the magistrate of Shangyuan County was also standing in the hall with an aggrieved face. He heard a shocking news early in the morning.

How could he dare to deal with the affairs of his own county government office, so he hurried to the governor's office to meet Gao Pan, wanting to make Gao Pan high-handed, and just hand over the matter to their Shangyuan county government office.

But Gao Pan didn't talk to him at all, only Daozzi's matter was too big, and he, the magistrate of the county government, might not be able to take care of him, so let's wait for the governor to make a ruling.

In this way, the magistrate of Shangyuan County stood in the hall aggrieved, with an uneasy expression on his face, and looked at Wu Yingying and Wu Maoyi father and son kneeling in the hall with resentment from time to time.

Around Si time, Gu Xinshan finally appeared. After seeing the situation in the hall, Gu Xinshan's expression was a little bad.

Gao Pan also saw Gu Xinshan, hurriedly put down his teacup, and went to greet him:
"Gao Pan, the newly appointed magistrate of Guangling, pays a visit to Mr. Futai!"

Looking at Gao Pan's too young face, Gu Xinshan felt very complicated in his heart.

At this moment, he really wanted to scold Gao Pan, but he didn't know how to speak. He also wanted to ask how Gao Pan escaped Yuan Fangjun's pursuit, but he didn't know where to start.

After a long time, without saying a word, Gu Xinshan came to the top position, picked up the tea that was just delivered, took a sip, and then said:
"Lord Gao, I heard that you took an official boat to go directly to Guangling Mansion. Why did you come to Linjiang City suddenly?"

Gao Pan saw Gu Xinshan's 'aggrieved' look, not to mention how happy he was in his heart, he knew a long time ago that Gu Xinshan was his biggest enemy this time as the magistrate.

Therefore, on the boat, he came up with a plot to be murdered, the purpose was to make Gu Xinshan fearful for a few days.

Seeing that his goal has been achieved, Gao Pan is not satisfied with this, but said with a sad face:

"Your Majesty Futai doesn't know that the lower officials did take an official boat to go straight down to Guangling City, but they were intercepted and killed near Fanliang Lake..."

"Fortunately, the people with Xiaguan are quite skilled in martial arts. They desperately protected Xiaguan and jumped into the lake and escaped."

These words made Gu Xinshan [-]% to [-]% convinced, because Yuan Fangjun's words before were still vivid in his memory, and he absolutely had reason to believe that these assassins were sent by Yuan Fangjun.

Therefore, Gu Xinshan nodded slightly:
"Well, fortunately you are fine, but do you know why you were intercepted and killed?"

Gao Pan was still thinking at this moment, how to reveal the Jinzhuang Town matter, but he didn't expect Gu Xinshan to ask this.

This made Gao Pan stunned, and after a while, he bowed and replied:
"The lower officials don't know, does Master Futai already know?"

Only Gao Pan himself knew that the fire on Fanliang Lake was a drama he had written and directed. In fact, he had already brought people to the shore, and there were not many people on the official boat.

And Gu Xinshan narrowed his eyes to remind him:
"Do you still remember Yuan Fangjun?"

After Gao Pan listened, his face changed drastically, pretending to be very surprised and angry:
"It turned out to be him? My lord, please make the decision for the lower official. The lower official has just arrived, and he hasn't even finished the handover. He almost died on the way. The lower official's wealth and life have been severely persecuted!"

Gu Xinshan's reminder instantly reminded Gao Pan of something, who Yuan Fangjun was, he remembered it with just a little thought.

It was this person who impressed Gao Pan deeply. Some of the women captured by Yuan Fangjun are still living in Dantang County, and part of Gao Pan's later family wealth was also obtained from Yuan Fangjun.

That was the first time Gao Pan felt that he not only indirectly punished villains like Yuan Fangjun, but also made a fortune and rescued many innocent women.

As soon as Gu Xinshan mentioned Yuan Fangjun, Gao Pan had already reacted. Seeing Gu Xinshan's appearance, Gao Pan had already guessed that it must be Yuan Fangjun who wanted to intercept and kill him on the way.

However, it happened that Gao Pan himself prepared such a scene, so it seemed that Yuan Fangjun sent someone to do the scene that Gao Pan prepared.

In fact, the people sent by Yuan Fangjun don't know where they are now, let alone intercept and kill Gao Pan, those people probably don't even know where Gao Pan is.

Seeing Gao Pan's sad and angry look, Gu Xinshan felt a little empathetic, and comforted him:
"Don't worry, I went to Jiangnan Daying to question him face-to-face just now. Although he didn't admit it directly, but according to what he said, it was almost inseparable. I will immediately write a letter to the imperial court. I think the imperial court will give you a Confess!"

After Gao Pan listened, he pretended to wipe away his tears, and then said softly:
"Since that's the case, I would like to thank Master Futai. At the same time, I am going to write a memorial. I hope you can join Master Futai. This Yuan Fangjun is simply lawless!"

For this request, Gu Xinshan had no reason to refuse. He nodded his head as he agreed, then looked at the standing and kneeling people in the hall, and asked:
"Who are these people? What are they doing in the governor's office?"

Seeing that Gu Xinshan asked this, Gao Pan's expression changed, he put away his original expression of sadness, indignation and gratitude, and replaced it with a very serious expression.

Respectfully, he told Gu Xinshan exactly what he had been interrogated.

"...My lord, there must be a series of corrupt officials behind the Wu family. Otherwise, their father and son have done so many evil things for many years, but they have done nothing. Instead, they have become good people in the nearby villages. joke!"

Gao Pan knew that many people were involved behind this matter, and he didn't think that Gu Xinshan would bias this matter against him as soon as he came, but he still had the attitude he should have.

I saw Gao Pan solemnly cupped his hands and said:
"My lord, please strictly investigate and deal with this kind of thing. If you find one and deal with it, you must not tolerate it. What's more, the New Deal is about to be implemented. Such a thing can't happen!"

At the end, Gao Pan vaguely mentioned the New Deal, expressing his position, and at the same time disgusting Gu Xinshan.

Sure enough, after hearing Gao Pan's briefing, Gu Xinshan's already gloomy face turned even more ugly and livid.

After a long time, Gu Xinshan said calmly:
"Okay, this matter, the governor personally accepts it, so you don't have to worry about it. As for the implementation of the new policy, the court has not yet made a public opinion. The situation in Jiangnan is special, and the new policy may not need to be implemented!"
