"Okay." Yuan Shu nodded and continued working.
Zhang Rong disguised himself as a scholar and stood in the crowd observing the situation.
Then he asked indirectly about the whole matter.
Before nightfall, he finally figured out everything.
After the crowd dispersed, he walked around and returned to the outside of Dengzhou government office.
After seeing Yuan Shu, Zhang Rong's face was full of ridicule: "He is the governor of Dengzhou, an official appointed by the imperial court! He was actually stumped by a bunch of scholars. It's really pathetic."
"Alas," Yuan Shu sighed, "Local jobs are so difficult. You have to satisfy the people above you while also taking care of the people below you."
"The higher-ups are not satisfied, and the people below seem to be complaining as well." Zhang Rong had some hidden meaning in his words.
Yuan Shu was shocked.
The "above" that Zhang Rong mentioned must be the Ming Emperor Chongzhen.
"Your Majesty also knows about this?" Yuan Shu asked while standing.
"I knew it a long time ago," Zhang Rong smiled faintly, "From the moment Duke Yansheng was beaten to death, Your Majesty has focused his attention on Shandong."

Zhang Rong replied: "The matter of Dengzhou was originally very simple, but you cared too much about the opinions and views of the gentry, which put you in a passive position."
"I'll help you solve this matter tomorrow, but...you have to do me a favor too."
"What's the matter?"
Zhang Rong smiled mysteriously, pointed to the Dengzhou government office and said, "Write me a warrant for arrest after the task is completed."
The arrest warrant is similar to a modern wanted poster, which records in detail the fugitive's name, appearance and crime, and is intended to be used to arrest the fugitive nationwide.
Yuan Shu was very surprised by Zhang Rong's request. He asked curiously, "Who do you want to arrest? Is there anyone in the Ming Dynasty that the East Factory can't catch?"
"Hehe," Zhang Rongyin said with a smile, "Capture the entire family of Duke Yansheng!"
