Chapter 20 bluffing

The carriage finally stopped three miles away from the city. Ge Dan got off the car with a tangled face. Fortunately, it was still the way out of the city and it was still easy to walk, otherwise Ge Dan felt that he must have been scattered. Ge Dan couldn't help but miss the Banyou Road in later generations. If it were Banyou Road, such a carriage might be much better. After getting off the car, he leaned against the edge of the car and waited quietly.

The scout came first, and then the front team came again. When the sun was about to rise to the center, the team came here.

The person who came from the yamen runners, and you could tell at first glance that they were from Zhenjiang Prefecture. Ge Dan met Feng Li again. This time, Feng Li looked much more proud than the last time. He looked arrogant, but Ge Dan frowned. Because Ge Dan saw a big sedan and the kind of eight people carrying it, Ge Dan couldn't help looking at Ge Lin. The meaning was very obvious, it was different from what you said!

According to Ge Lin, Wang Zhi advocated not to sit in a sedan chair. Unless civil officials were 60 years old or above the third rank, military generals would not allow them. However, Wang Zhi is actually sitting in such a large sedan chair.

Although he didn't know Wang Zhi very well, Ge Dan knew that Wang Zhi would never do this because he was slapping himself in the face!

Although he was suspicious, Ge Dan said nothing and stood respectfully by the roadside. Feng Li led the man to Ge Dan alone. When he saw Ge Dan again, Feng Li raised his head and obviously after cursing Wang Zhi, the Tongzhi became much more confident. His eyes looked at Ge Dan with a little comfort and cheerfulness. Look, are you still trying to suppress me with your father?

Although Ge Dan's father is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he really has no confidence in facing Wang Zhi, which is also Feng Li's confidence.

However, Ge Dan did not look at Feng Li. His eyes fell on the people around Feng Li. This was a man in his thirties, with a mustache with slender eyes, and looked like he was cruel. Obviously, this person was not easy to mess with. When Ge Dan looked at him, the man smiled arrogantly and looked quite disdainful. He obviously did not take Ge Dan, the county magistrate, into consideration.

"Magistrate Ge, this is a person around Eunuch Wang and also the captain of the West Factory, Lord Yang, you haven't been greeted?" Feng Li encouraged.

After hearing Feng Li's words, Ge Dan bowed to the Captain Yang, and then said, "I don't know if the officials are allowed to pay homage to Eunuch Wang?"

The Captain Yang waved his hand and said, "My father-in-law is tired from traveling. It's not convenient to meet him now. Let's talk about it before entering the city!" As he said that, he turned around and left, as if he was very dissatisfied with Ge Dan's performance.

Feng Li, who was beside Yang, smiled. In Feng Li's opinion, not to mention that the matter of the Jiuqu River embankment had not been released, it was really a mess. With Eunuch Wang's protection, what else could happen? It would be fine if Ge Dan knew about the appearance. If he didn't know about the appearance, he must deal with him this time. You must know that in order to curry favor with Wang Zhi, Feng Li gave almost half of his worth.

Originally, it was not so flattering, but the matter of Jiuquhe made Feng Li scared. The culprit was Ge Dan. How could Feng Li not hate Ge Dan?

The large group of people quickly entered the city. Ge Dan got into the car with a gloomy face. The group went straight into Danyang County. After settling down, they had already arrived. Ge Dan asked to hold a banquet for Eunuch Wang, but was still rejected.

At ten o'clock in the evening, two people came up, one was Feng Li, and the other was naturally the Captain Yang. After each sat down, the tea was also brought up. Ge Dan sat there without saying anything, holding a tea cup and drinking tea, as if I had just spoken. Feng Li and Captain Yang looked at each other, and both of them were very dissatisfied with Ge Dan.

Ge Dan turned a deaf ear and drank it with tea. Anyway, Ge Dan had made up his mind and must become famous this time.

If Wang Zhi wants to stand up for Feng Li, then he will make things bigger and he will be so arrogant that he will be really famous.

Although Wang Zhi might feel a little sad when he was there, Ge Dan believed that he would not lose his life. After all, he was a Jinshi and his father was a minister of the Ministry of Revenue. It would be fine to save his life. For example, even if he was disrespectful, Wang Zhi would not dare to push himself out and cut him down. The eunuchs were domineering, but they were not as arrogant as this.

What Wang Zhi could do was to weave a charge and put himself in jail, but Ge Dan was really not afraid of this. Once he was imprisoned, he would become really famous.

"Magic magistrate Ge, Eunuch Wang is here, are you filial to you?" Feng Li spoke directly, his tone was so straightforward.

After hearing Feng Li's words, Ge Dan raised his head in surprise and looked at Feng Li. You are a civil servant at least. You can curry favor with eunuchs, but you don't have to be so unrestrained, right? Ge Dan immediately sank his face, then put the teacup on the table, and said lightly: "Sorry, the official, didn't understand what Lord Feng meant. Is this asking for bribes? Is it because Lord Feng asked for bribes himself, or is it asking for bribes for Eunuch Wang?"

"You dug out the Jiuqu River privately, flooded Danyang, and falsely accused Shangguan. At this time, you dare to make a big fuss. Are you really not afraid of death?"

Feng Li looked at Ge Dan and shouted angrily.

Looking at Feng Li, Ge Dan felt a little dumbfounded. He found that he was still too naive. This method of turning black and white not only pushed all the blame to him, but also took him out. Ge Dan glanced at Yang Xiaowei beside Feng Li, and knew in his heart that the two people were in a mess and put on a pair of pants. Ge Dan began to keep thinking in his heart.

What should I do? Surrender? That is impossible. Once I surrender, I will be labeled as the Wang Zhiyi Party.

Others don’t know, but Ge Dan knows that although Wang Zhi is now happy, he has really been around for a few years. Once Wang Zhi falls, what should he do? If you can’t do this, you can only force yourself to take it back.

"I don't know what Lord Tongzhi wants?" Ge Dan said coldly with a expressionless face. Ge Dan was also a magistrate after all, and it was not that easy to deal with a magistrate. Feng Li had no power to take him down directly. He needed to report the memorial. Ge Dan didn't believe that Feng Li dared to report the memorial. Who doesn't know who has shit under him? If Wang Zhi made the memorial, his father would take action. Maybe it was a battle between civil servants and eunuchs.

Ge Dan didn't believe that the benefits Feng Li had paid made Wang Zhi do this, and the gains were not worth the loss. Ge Dan dared to bet on this.

"If Magistrate Ge is willing to offer some money, this lieutenant is willing to take care of it and change the matter of Magistrate Ge's digging of Jiuqu River to the fact that the water is too big and flooding the Jiuqu River embankment." Magistrate Yang said slowly while aside.
