At the end of May, it finally started to rain. The sky was gray, and the raindrops were floating everywhere. Looking around, I couldn't tell where the sky was and where the earth was. It seemed that the whole world was immersed in water vapor.

Xu Ping held the umbrella and walked into Sishui County with one foot high and one foot low, and walked straight towards the county government.

Lu Fang followed closely behind, arrived at the county government gate, and then breathed out: "The Central Plains are all good, but it doesn't rain for several months when the drought is gone, which is really uncomfortable. It feels much more comfortable when the rain comes!"

Xu Ping shook his head. It was difficult for these bridges and roads to fight for the sake of this group of bridges and roads. They were basically from Fujian Road and Guangnan. They were like soaking in the rain since they were young. When they arrived in the Central Plains, it was common for not raining for a few months, so they naturally felt uncomfortable when they first came.

Zhang Dayou received the news early, took Xu Ping to the Houya, and hurriedly ordered hot tea.

After drinking tea, Xu Ping felt much warmer and comfortable, so he returned to his residence to change his clothes.

In the flower hall, Xu Ping and Zhang Dayou sat at the same table, talking about recent events.

Zhang Dayou said: "When the river is under control, has the inspection been completed?"

"Yes, I have seen everything I should see. When the rain stops, I will go back to Beijing to submit the business. By the way, how is Deputy Envoy Wang now? Hasn't he been back to the county town for a few days?"

"What happened that day, Deputy Envoy Wang returned to the county town that day. The next day he knew that someone had died, he was extremely disappointed. He stayed in the room every day and never saw guests. I went to visit every day, and they left after meeting each other, and had nothing to say. I don't know what he thought, so I didn't ask much."

Xu Ping nodded: "Normal, it won't be a good thing for anyone to get involved in this kind of thing. By the way, has the case been concluded clearly? There have been some days now, so I can't just drag it there all the time."

Zhang Dayou looked bitter: "This case involves Deputy Envoy Wang. How dare I, a small magistrate, go to trial rashly? He didn't speak, so I couldn't handle it, so I had to delay it."

After hearing this, Xu Ping was a little unhappy: "How can you keep dragging here? Wang Yan said that he has the responsibility to patrol the river. Even if he let go, I will go back to Beijing to submit a service after I have investigated it clearly. You have not tried it. Shouldn't he come to urge you? You wouldn't want to drag it down in a daze, and wait until I finish everything here and go back to Beijing with me, and just get confused?"

"Who knows, since he doesn't speak there anyway, I can't ask!"

Xu Ping shook his head repeatedly. Wang Yan was too ungrateful. If something happened, he would be considered unlucky. But afterwards, he would have to stand up honestly and let the local government settle the case as soon as possible. What is the matter of dragging it here? Didn’t you think that if you drag it on like this, you can forget him? The censors would not care about how the case was tried. Will he suppress the memorial because of it? Isn’t this covering the bell?

Sighing, Xu Ping asked Zhang Dayou: "If you don't try it here, the case cannot be delayed. What did the state say? Should officials be sent down?"

"There is a book from Xianggong Li, saying that it is because of the recent busy work in Heyin County, and it is difficult to get out of here. The remaining officials in Mengzhou City are also plagued by everything. They want to transfer the case to the nearby prefectures and ask them to send officials over."

After hearing this, Xu Ping knew that Li Di was a bit cheating. He ignored the matter in Mengzhou, but he insisted on pushing it to others. His status was there, and the transshipment officer had to listen. Needless to say, he could only take the blame from Henan Prefecture. Chen Yaozuo, Zhengzhou, was a respected person, and the other was a close friend of Prime Minister Lu Yijian. How dare Yang Kuo offend?

Moreover, Henan Prefecture has a special status, with at least two magistrates, and most of them are even three or four, in charge of Henan Prefecture affairs and Xijing Left-behind Office, where people can be drawn.

When asked Zhang Dayou, it turns out that Yang Gao handed over the case to Henan Prefecture, but the people had not arrived yet.

After thinking for a while, Xu Ping said to Zhang Dayou: "You write a document to urge people from Henan Prefecture. I can't wait in Sishui County for a long time. When I left Beijing, I came out with Wang Yan. It's not easy to go back alone to work."

Zhang Dayou shook his head helplessly: "In addition to those from Henan Prefecture, there are also people from the Execution Department on the way. Because this case involves Deputy Envoy Wang, no one dares to take it lightly. I am afraid that the trial will be opened after everyone arrives. My self-imminent memorial is now known to everyone. Everyone is watching how deeply the Deputy Envoy Wang is involved in the case."

What else could Xu Ping say? He raised the matter himself at the beginning, but he didn't expect to drag the matter here. After thinking about it, it really didn't work, so he had to go back to Beijing to submit the work first and let Wang Yan stay alone.

The rain kept raining, and the sky was so gray that it was impossible to see the time. It was not until the miscellaneous officials in the yamen came to report that they were going to prepare supper, and Xu Ping realized that it was almost evening.

Zhang Dayou ordered the preparation of food and drinks, and Xu Ping said: "Send someone to call Deputy Commander Wang here. After I finish the mission, I will also talk to him and discuss his future itinerary. Another thing is that it is not good if we meet or not."

Wang Yan walked out of his residence with a bitter face, looked at the rainy world, and sighed heavily.

I thought that after entering the Sansi, my career in traveling around the country over the years would turn around, and my career would be bright from now on. This time, if the river inspection was viewed, it would be possible to go further. Everything was going well, but when I left the capital, he keenly felt the different attitudes of the Secretariat and Danue toward this matter, and he sang against Xu Ping all the way, which really attracted the attention of the priest. I could not have thought that it was just a routine trip to the local area, and when I was negligent, I would inexplicably be involved in a lawsuit for life.

Could it be that the passing years is unfavorable? Just like this weather, the future is gray.

No matter how the case is tried, it will not involve Wang Yan, because it is a family dispute. But if the problem is not here, it is a big mistake to involve it. The censors in the capital also have to take the lead in front of the emperor who has just taken power. Wang Yan revealed this handle, and it would be strange if they could let it go. Not to mention that the prime minister only has a little bit of favor for him, even if he has the prime minister to protect him, he will not be able to save it. When he goes back, the deputy envoy of the Three Divisions will definitely be fine.

Which minister would protect him? Some people would guarantee him that the officials of the censors would become more active and make things bigger. Even those who protected him could not get out of Taiwan. After the incident of Kong Daofu and Fan Zhongyan being demoted from the capital together, the censors are now like enemies of the Political Affairs Hall, and their eyes are green when they stare there.

Wang Yan was in a mess, and he had no idea what to do next.
