When the other party wanted to come, he often traveled in a sedan chair. There were only a few steps from the Yamen Gate to the City Gate. Chen Luan ran out of breath. Until Tang Fan faced, he barely squeezed a smile: “Adult, please stay away! Dare to ask the adult, but Zuo Fei, Yu Shi Tang Pan? “
Tang Fan raised an eyebrow: “Are you?”
Chen Luan hurriedly said: “Xiaguan Wujiang County Chen Luan, see your lord.”
Tang Fan seemed to laugh: “Chen County magistrate, I didn’t wear official robes nor show my identity. Why are you so sure that I am Tang Fan, in case you admit the wrong person, wouldn’t it be a joke?”
Chen Luan said: “Adult Dragon Zhang Fengzi, with extraordinary appearance, is like standing out from the crowd. At a glance, he knows that it is not an ordinary people. The xiaguan heard that the court was going to send Yushi to inspect the disaster. Rush over. “
He is not very young. He looks only thirty years old, and his facial features are upright and clear, which adds a lot of goodwill. It is a typical image of smart and capable young officials.
Although the Imperial Examination system has been developed and matured since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the children of Hanmen are also officials of the Central Examination, generally speaking, the children who are from superior families can get more resources. They can hire famous teachers, have elders to teach, and can be famous. Of course, the odds of being able to take the final exam will naturally be much higher than that of ordinary children.
Like Tang Fan, although his family is in the middle, he always comes from a family. He has been well-educated since childhood, not to mention Chen Luan. His uncle is Nanjing Hubu Shangshu, and he is also an official himself, which shows that The Chen family is at least a family of three generations of scholars, and it is likely to be a family of officials and eunuchs. This kind of situation abounds in Daming ’s officialdom.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Chen Luan is the county magistrate of Qipin, but he has such outstanding demeanor.
Tang Fan listened to his explanation, but only smiled and didn’t talk much.
Chen Luan had expected to wait for him to question him, but he did not expect that Tang Yushi was so calm that he had to say again: “The lord came here from afar, and the servant was willing to entertain himself, but last year Wu Jiang suffered a major disaster. Now, the vitality is badly hurt and has not recovered. If there is any neglect, please ask the adult to forgive sins. “
Tang Fan nodded and said with a smile: “It’s okay, you are the host, and naturally you are the one who decides. We will go as we please.”
Chen Luan said: “Why not let Xiaguan take the adults to see the resettlement situation of the victims?”
Tang Fan raised his eyebrows.
The three people he met after he arrived in Suzhou, Hu Wenzao, the governor of Suzhou, avoided it, and Nan Zhili, the patron of Yuzhi Yangji, was not there. The Wujiang Zhixian, in the center of the vortex, offered to take Tang Fan to see Victims.
Upright, with no intention of covering up the whitewash.
Tang Fan faced his four eyes, and saw that Chen Luan’s eyes could not avoid flashing, and he looked back over again, showing a slight smile, with an inquiring meaning.
Qipinzhi County and Sipinzhifu seem to stand tall.
Tang Fan laughed: “Then please ask Chen Xianling to lead the way.”
Chen Luan: “Master Tang please.”
Chen Luan took Tang Fan and others to the south of the city. It was originally a deserted temple. Now it has been cleaned up. The Buddha statues and things inside should also be cleaned up and changed into a good temple. The original monastery also All are removed to accommodate more beds.
Naturally, these beds are very simple, just straw mats on the ground, and then people lay on it, covered with a quilt, but for those victims who had no tiles to cover the rain, now this can shelter from the wind The place where rain is enough to feed and wear is like heaven.
When Tang Fan passed by, they happened to hurry up for the morning meal. The porridge water was sent by the government and sent by the officials. The victims lined up and waited for their turn with a bowl, and Tang Fan ’s imagination did not happen. This is a situation of wailing and crying.
Chen Luan explained to Tang Fan: “This porridge is distributed twice a day, at noon and at night, and the number of victims has decreased a lot. Since this year, many people have begun to return home, so the order is still However, there have been several incidents of robbing and wounding people in order to distribute more food. “
Tang Fan nodded, looking at the bowl in the hands of the victims who passed by, frowning slightly: “This porridge seems too thin?”
Chen Luan smiled bitterly: “Education Master knows that now the grain bins in the county can be allocated, and the lower officials have already allocated it, and the rest have been handed over to Nanjing as tax grain. In fact, it has long been evacuated. If you do n’t believe it, Xiaguan can show you over. ”
Tang Fan did not speak to him, but pulled an old man passing by and asked, “This old man, where are you from?”
The old man looked up to see Tang Fan, and then saw Chen Luan wearing a gown beside him.
Tang Pan naturally didn’t let him do this, he helped people up: “The old man please don’t be polite, where do you come from?”
The old man said: “Xiaomin came from outside the city and got the compassion of the old parents in this county. We opened the city gate and let us in, so that we would be covered with tiles, and we would not starve to death. The old parents are on the top, please By Xiaomin! “
Say no more and bow down.
Chen Luan supported him with a smile: “The old man didn’t hear Master Tang say, please don’t be polite, this is what the county should do. Since being a parent officer, I should do what I should do.”
The old man only responded, with a restrained look, and dared not take the call while holding the bowl.
Seeing that he was helpless, Tang Fan asked him to go by himself, and asked Chen Luan: “Did the Suzhou government allocate food?”
Chen Luan shook his head: “It’s not enough at all. To tell you the truth, Wu County was also affected by the disaster. Because it is the Suzhou government, it is close to Wu County. As a result, Wujiang County became a stepmother. The food allocated is only about thirty stones. “
Tang Fan frowned: “Why are there so few?”
Chen Luan said: “These are available for investigation, please come here.”
He took Tang Fan to the county warehouse and ordered someone to open the door. Tang Fan looked at it, and it was empty, and half a grain of rice was gone.
Chen Luan brought the grain book to Tang Fan to see. Behind the grain appropriation in Suzhou, it was clearly written in three hundred stones.
Tang Fan asked: “How many days can the food for the victims be distributed now?”
Chen Luan said: “Probably can last for three days.”
Tang Fan: “What are you going to do after those three days?”
Chen Luan: “Xiaguan intends to borrow grain from the grain merchants in the county. Also, now that the lake water has retreated and the fields can be re-cultivated, Xiaguan is ready to let people persuade the victims to go back in batches. After all, there are only a few left now. It ’s always easier for a hundred people, and if you can go home, in addition to those scoundrels and scoundrels, generally no one is willing to die here. So as long as you borrow two or three days of food from the food merchants, it ’s enough. ”
Tang Fan: “They are willing to borrow?”
Chen Luan smiled: “They naturally refused, but the lower officials threatened and lured, and they could always get them out.”
Tang Fan also smiled and said: “Hongya can be said to be an official!”
Formerly known as the county magistrate, it was a public office, but now it has changed its name, and it immediately became a lot closer. It also indirectly expressed Tang Fan’s attitude.
Chen Luan said: “Don’t dare to be praised as an adult, this is a matter of sharing the official’s affairs, and it is nothing more than devotion to duty.”
Tang Fan patted him on the shoulder: “It is easy to do the job hard, and many officials have failed to obey it. It is not easy for you to do this. After I go back, I will tell the truth and will not let You are wronged. “
Chen Luan smiled: “Adult’s words are serious, and it’s not easy for Zhifu’s masters. There are several counties in the disaster. There are definitely priorities, and the officials can understand.”
Tang Fanyang raised his eyebrows and said: “But as far as I know, the two most severely affected areas are Wujiang and Wuxian, and before the victims of Wuxian heard that Wujiang provided more porridge water, they all ran to you Wu Jiang is here, but is this possible? “
Chen Luan said: “The victims really exceeded expectations, so Wu Jiang was only stretched out, otherwise if the number of grains in the county warehouse was sufficient according to the number on weekdays. It was because of this that Nanzhili patrolled Yu Shi Yang Ji to impeach imperial officials, However, after the official explained to him, Yang Yushi didn’t have much trouble. “
Tang Fan nodded: “I’ll find Yang Ji to confirm this.”
Chen Luan took Tang Fan around the south of the city and answered many questions, all of which were well-organized, making Tang Fan’s smile more serene.
Compared with Chen Luan, who is very talkative and well-documented, Hu Wenzao, who has a strange track record, is not only down, but also suspicious.
Tang Fan stayed for a meal in Wujiang County, and Chen Luan served them very simply. He didn’t make big fish just because Tang Fan came over. Naturally, he wouldn’t be too shabby.
Chen Luan, Tang Fan, Lu Lingxi and Qian San’er, plus the two people accompanied by Chen Luan, seven dishes and one soup, are common dishes, but they are very delicious.
Despite the official status, Tang Fan and Chen Luan were of similar origins. The two also had a lot of topics to talk about. The guests and hosts were naturally happy and peaceful.
After the meal, Tang Fan declined Chen Luan ’s company, saying that he would go back in the county and let Chen Luan do his business without having to accompany him.
Chen Luan did not insist, and after leaving a few words, he left.
Looking at Chen Luan’s back, Qian San’er sighed with a smile: “This is the righteousness of an upright official. Look at him somewhat similarly to adults!”
Tang Fan turned to Lu Lingxi: “Look?”
Lu Lingxi: “Specially suspicious.”
“Not bad.” Tang Fan smiled, his face sinking, completely unrecognizable. “This man is probably more difficult to deal with than Hu Wenzao.”
Qian San’er is very strange: “Sir, why is Chen Luan suspicious?”
He didn’t see it at all. In his eyes, Chen Luan’s words and deeds were normal, but much better than Hu Wenzao.
It was Lu Lingxi who said: “As soon as we entered the city, he knew immediately. If he had learned that we might come early, as he said, so let the soldiers of the city gate pay attention. I absolutely do not believe it. If so, So as early as the city gate, the soldiers will stop Brother Tang directly, and invite Chen Luan to see him. Now it is clearly that he sent someone to track us early, so he knows our whereabouts. This is enough to show that his motives are impure and did not treat us to be frank.”
Tang Fanshou nodded: “Yes, there is one more point. The disaster victims we saw in Shantang were clean and tidy, indicating that they were newly replaced, but no matter how good the conditions of Shantang were, there was no money from the government. The victims buy clothes and wear them. Do you remember what we just stopped an old man asking? “
Seeing that both of them nodded, he smiled: “Do you find anything wrong with him?”
Qian San’er scratched his head, he did not pay attention to this detail, and naturally could not answer it.
Lu Lingxi said: “The old man behaved a little strangely. He was originally very restrained, but he was very fluent in answering questions, as if he had memorized in advance, and I saw him from time to time to see Chen Luan. It ’s so strange to just look a few more times, but the man ’s eyes are very strange, it feels like, like … ”
He frowned and thought of a suitable adjective, Tang Fan said: “It’s like looking at Chen Luan’s eyes.”
Lu Lingxi gave a high-five: “Yes, that’s it. Brother Tang is really attentive and countless!”
Tang Fan has been trying to praise him from time to time to praise himself has been numb.
Strictly speaking, Lu Lingxi is not clapping, even if it is, it is too clumsy for him to beat the horse.
If it ’s true, it ’s enough to slap the horse, but Lu Lingxi is full of sincerity and perseverance. When he seizes the opportunity, he should express a ridiculous admiration to Tang Fan. After a few times, Tang Fan has learned to ignore it.
Tang Fan glanced at him: “Yi Qing.”
Lu Lingxi: “What did Brother Tang tell?”
Tang Fan looked faint: “You should have known that someone is staring at us?”
Instead of denying it, Lu Lingxi admitted happily: “Yes!”
Tang Fan frowned: “Why didn’t you say that early?”
Lu Lingxi is very innocent: “I thought you knew it from the beginning, but I didn’t want to play the grass and startle the snake!”
Tang Fan stared at him. The latter was both innocent and wronged, and took a bit of a favor: “But you didn’t ask before, what do you want to know after the big deal, I will tell you, OK?”
Tang Fanwu said for a moment: “Finally, what else do you know?”
Lu Lingxi said: “Two people stared at us outside the station and followed us all the way here.”
Tang Fan raised his eyebrows: “Two dials?”
Lu Lingxi nodded, and said with certainty: “Two dials.”
Tang Fan: “Are you sure you are not the same person?”
Lu Lingxi: “No, you also know that people who learn martial arts are always smarter than ordinary people. One of them is probably Chen Luan. The other one, I don’t know.
Tang Fan thought for a while: “Will it be Dongchang?”
Lu Lingxi: “It is also possible.”
Tang Fan pondered for a moment: “Let’s go back first.”
Qian San’er was stunned, and he was still a little bit foggy: “Where are you going?”
Tang Fandao: “Go back to Wuxian first, and then come back.”
Tang Fan did not explain what to do in Wuxian County.
However, when Tang Fan returned to Wuxian Guanyi, he was told that Nanzhili’s patrol officer Shiji Yangji was back and came to see him.
