Zhou Zheng did not return to Zhou’s diary, but returned to Zhou’s mansion.

Zhou Qingli happened to stand at the door and watched some people leave.

Zhou Zheng walked over and looked at the backs of those people. They should be all from the court.

Zhou Qingli said, "All of my friends I have made over the years. If you need it, they can help you a lot."

Zhou Qingli has been in the Six Clinic for nearly twenty years, but has not had any other friends. There are definitely many censors, and he is a person with similar positions, verified character and trustworthy.

Zhou Zheng knew what Mr. Zhou meant, and felt more and more stressed, and said, "Dad, is this matter that serious?"

Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng and nodded slightly, with an unrestrained tone, saying, "You don't know the terror of the first time you entered the officialdom. Li Shixiao was an internal magistrate, a memorial to impeachment, and sent three governors, one Zuodu Censor, one Shangshu, three ministers, and nearly a hundred other officials of all sizes to the prison, those who died were killed, those who guarded the border..."

Li Shi's record is indeed terrifying and terrifying all officials.

After Zhou Qingli finished speaking, she said, "Go in and talk."

Zhou Zheng nodded and followed Zhou Qingli into the mansion. This matter may be even more serious than he expected and it is not so easy to deal with.

In Zhou Qingli's study, the father and son sat opposite each other on the small table.

Zhou Qingli held the teacup in her hand and slowly fiddled with the water, saying, "The key to this case is not whether Shangguan Xun was wronged, but how to deal with it properly. It cannot make the eunuch party angry, but also gives the emperor and the government and the people a reasonable statement."

Zhou Zheng nodded. The demands of the Shangguan siblings were actually not important. Instead, when the sound of the drum, there must be a decent explanation, and the eunuch party should not be dissatisfied. Otherwise, not only Shangguan Xun could not save it, but the eunuch party took advantage of it. Not only Zhou Zheng, but the Zhou family was in trouble, but also had to implicate the Zhou family's network of relationships and greater storms.

Zhou Qingli looked cold, looked outside the door and said, "I just contacted a few friends for my father. I will write a letter to impeach Li's unimportant gangs in Suzhou and Hangzhou. I will test it and divert the attention of the government and the public."

Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "You must master the standards. The eunuch party is in full swing, so don't cause trouble."

The eunuch party is the most terrifying at this time and is unparalleled. A slight touch may be a catastrophe.

Zhou Qingli put down the teacup, looked at him, and said, "This is clear to my father. What do you think?"

Zhou Qingli was increasingly unable to see through this second son, but she gave her considerable respect.

Zhou Zheng naturally had some thoughts, but it was not appropriate to say it out loud, saying, "I will first touch Li Shi's situation and try to find a safe solution."

Even if a small businessman was not wronged, he has never been so difficult to deal with. He just involves the word "eunuch party".

Seeing that Zhou Zheng refused to say something, Zhou Qingli pondered for a while and said, "There is another way, which is to drag it down."

Zhou Qingli’s meaning is very simple. This case became "important" just because the emperor and the government and the people heard it. As long as it was delayed for a while, everyone would gradually forget it, and it would be over.

This is the most popular way to deal with things in the officialdom. Even military and national affairs often have to be delayed for a few months, let alone a small case, which is a good year or two.

Emperor Tianqi was not in charge. It can be seen from just sending an intern supervisor to explain that he didn't care about this matter and could not say that he could forget it if he turned around.

The eunuchs would not care even more. This case is too small in their eyes and is unprofitable.

Zhou Zheng thought of this method in his mind. When the eunuch party collapses next year, he will be able to use his power to rehabilitate Shangguan Xun without any scruples.

But this kind of "dragging and waiting for change" is not his style of dealing with things, and there are too many variables in the future, so we need to fight quickly to avoid long nights and dreams.

Zhou Zheng looked at Mr. Zhou and said frankly: "I want to deal with it as soon as possible."

Zhou Qingli looked at the crazy second son with expressionless expression. She felt a little complicated. After a while, she said, "You are right. If you have any questions, please tell me as soon as possible."

Zhou Zheng smiled and said, "I understand."

Zhou Qingli didn't say much. This second son was meticulous, but he was still worried in the big dyeing vat in the officialdom in Beijing, but his expression was not slight.

Zhou Zheng talked to Zhou Qingli for a while, and then went back to the study.

As usual, I read books and practice calligraphy, but today I can't concentrate and my mind is a little distracted.

Zhou Zheng let out a sigh, put down his pen, looked out the window, and for a moment, he said quietly: "I can't do the so-called "silence of the same light as the same dust, no black or white..."

Zhou Zheng understood him very well, and he had his own straightforwardness in his heart. He could not mess around, fool, and acted in a confused manner. If he did not handle this matter properly, he would not be able to calm down and return to normal.

It was getting darker, and a sparrow stopped in front of the window, flapping its wings and flew away quickly.

Zhou Zheng picked up the pen and wrote two big words on the paper: Li Shi.

Zhou Zheng gently put down his pen, looked at these two words, and said softly, "It seems that you have to take the risk and touch it."

...

Early the next morning, Zhou Zheng walked into the Censorate in his official uniform as usual.

The atmosphere of the Censorate seems to be so strange, deserted, and exudes a feeling of discomfort.

Zhou Zheng had just sat down on the chair, and Yao Tongshun quickly stepped in, closed the door, and whispered: "The Censor of Shaanxi Dao was half arrested."

"Why?" This is the first time that someone in the Censorate was arrested since Zhou Zheng joined the company, although it has only been a few days.

Yao Tongshun said: "They wrote a letter to the court to recruit the rioters, but the civil unrest is getting worse and worse..."

Zhou Zheng nodded unexpectedly. The court treated the civil unrest back and forth between "suppression and pacification". Even in the Chongzhen Dynasty, the same was true in the early stage. It was not until the civil unrest later that the court had to insist on "clearance".

Zhou Zheng didn't care about this and asked, "Is there any movement in Shangguan Xun's case?"

Yao Tongshun hoped that Zhou Zheng would follow the crowd and write a letter to the main force to fight for a reputation. After all, he is the new censor, but looking at Zhou Zheng's expression, Yao Tongshun decisively gave up and said, "There is no movement, the censor Li didn't say anything, and the above did not explain."

Zhou Zheng nodded slightly. Obviously, the senior officials of the Censorate did not take this matter seriously. Just a businessman complained. When did the Ming Dynasty last for a fewer cases?

"Have you found Shangguan Xun's file?" Zhou Zhengdao.

Yao Tongshun said: "I have found some yesterday. The Experience Department is sorting it out. I will send it to you before lunch."

Zhou Zheng thought of what Li Hengbing said about reviewing the files of the Jinyiwei, the Ministry of Justice, etc., and said: "You have been watching the Si Duo. I want all the case files, and I want them all!"

Yao Tongshun was about to respond when a yamen runner knocked on the door outside the door and said, "Civil Secretary Zhou, some people say that it was a servant of the Zhou family who asked for an interview, and there was an urgent matter."

Zhou Zheng had just sat down. What could happen early in the morning? Yao Tongshun looked at Zhou Zheng.

Liu Liuzhe has always been safe in his work, and he will not come to Zhou Zheng without any urgent matters.
