Chapter 384 The truth of the township test

Jiang Liwei did not expect that every move he made was under the control of Liu Daxia...≦...≦

In Liu Daxia's eyes, Jiang Liwei was just a young boy. Even if his wings were hard, he could not fly far. He could pull him back with just a single pull.

After leaving the yard, there was a carriage for picking up and dropping off. Chen Xi and Yu Niang rode a car with them, and Jiang Li was riding a horse in front.

Less than two miles away, there was a simple yamen near the city gate. There was a sedan chair outside the yamen. Jiang Liwei looked serious and walked in first after getting off the horse. Then Chen Xi allowed to enter, but Yu Niang stayed outside waiting for the call.

"...Gu Yu, you are so frivolous in your work, why don't you report to me?"

When Chen Xi entered the house, Liu Daxia's tone seemed to be asking questions, and she seemed to be calm and educating her juniors. However, Jiang Liwei's forehead was covered with beads of sweat the size of beans.

There was a pair of chess on the table. Liu Daxia was not alone here. There was a person sitting opposite him. This person was about the same age as Liu Daxia and had a goatee. Judging from the demeanor he showed in his every move, this person was quite famous.

Neither of them wore official uniforms. It was obvious that coming to this yamen was not an office work. It was just a matter of asking Jiang Liwei and Shen Xi to talk to him by chance.

Jiang Liwei said aloud: "After you want to have a result, you will report it to the Minister."

"Yeah?"

Liu Daxia didn't even turn his head. He obviously had expected Jiang Liwei's answer, which showed that he had always known what Jiang Liwei was doing behind his back, but he did not reveal it. He wanted to see what Jiang Liwei could do. But at this time, Jiang Liwei had not achieved any achievements and could only make other plans.

Liu Daxia suddenly made a good move and turned his attention to the chessboard: "Brother Bo Chang, it seems that I will win this game, haha."

The old man on the opposite side was stroking his beard and thought about it carefully. He couldn't help but frown. Liu Daxia then looked up at Chen Xi who was bowing and bowing just after entering the door, and greeted with a smile: "Chen Xi is here too?"

Hearing the name "Chen Xi". The old man sitting opposite Liu Daxia looked up and asked, "Is it really only thirteen years old?"

Chen Xi responded respectfully: "Reply to Master Shangshu's words, the student was born in the 23rd year of Chenghua."

The old man was a little surprised and pointed at Liu Daxia: "Shi Yong. Have you told him about me?"

Liu Daxia smiled and shook his head. It was obvious that he didn't know why Chen Xi seemed to recognize the old man, after all, they had never met each other.

For Chen Xi, this is actually no secret. Liu Daxia directly called the old man "Brother Bo Chang". Needless to say, Zhou Jing, the Minister of Revenue, who had always had a good relationship with Liu Daxia.

Zhou Jing, whose courtesy name was Bochang and his pseudonym was Songtru. In the fourth year of Tianshun, he was admitted to the Jinshi and was appointed as a Shujishi. During the Chenghua period, he served as a post of attending the post of Zhongyun and other officials, serving as the crown prince of the Eastern Palace, the later Emperor Hongzhi. In the second year of Hongzhi, he served as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. From the ninth year of Hongzhi to the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, he served as the Minister of Revenue.

Chenxi Road: "Students have heard the official voice of Zhou Shangshu."

Zhou Jing smiled and said, "Look at the people you are looking for. They are all talented and talented. They are all so good at speaking in addition to being young and talented. Forget it. I won't play this chess with you today. Don't forget to go to the Ministry of Revenue tomorrow. There are a pile of official documents accumulated."

Liu Daxia stood up and saw him off, and the two went out the door together.

After a while, Liu Daxia turned back and sat down at the table. He put the chess piece into the chess box. He moved quickly and quickly. Both Jiang Liwei and Shen Xi could only stand there respectfully, waiting for the instruction.

It was not until Liu Daxia finished packing up the chess pieces that he raised his head and looked at Jiang Liwei: "How is the investigation?"

Jiang Liwei respectfully expressed the results of his investigation. It was probably Chen Xi was on the side. He seemed vague in some things, but as long as Liu Daxia asked a few questions, he had to tell them. After hearing this, Chen Xi thought to himself: "You have to take risks, don't come out and be brave enough to do things yourself, but let others work hard for you."

Before Jiang Liwei finished speaking, Liu Daxia was furious and shouted: "Nonsense, I don't think this is 'leading the snake out of the hole', but 'stopping the snake'. Do you think that just by relying on these shrimp soldiers and crab generals in your hands can really deal with the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Jiang Liwei quickly accused him of: "I dare not do anything humble."

Liu Daxia thought for a while, and his tone was gentle: "Don't pay attention to the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue. After the beginning of spring, the matter of canal transportation needs to be handled urgently. You can go there to help."

"yes!"

Jiang Liwei could see that she was very nervous. After Ying Nuo, her body trembled constantly.

Although Liu Daxia was only the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he was appointed as the Deputy Censor of the Censorate and was deeply trusted by Emperor Hongzhi. Liu Daxia served in the Ministry of War as a literati for a long time and made great contributions. Where did something happen? Emperor Hongzhi immediately thought of him and Ma Wensheng as a firefighting team member.

As one of the "Three Gentlemen of Hongzhi", Liu Daxia was the giant pillar of the imperial court. Even though Zhou Jing was nominally Liu Daxia's boss, he could only treat him with courtesy.

For Emperor Hongzhi, Ma Wensheng and Liu Daxia were like a car, able to conquer cities and land, and appear anywhere they needed, and were trusted by the humeral ministers who could be fully trusted. Even if other ministers were respected, they were just ministers and participated in strategic decision-making, but they could not be specific.

After Liu Daxia finished explaining to Jiang Liwei, he looked at Chen Xi again: "Chen Xi, I didn't expect that if I haven't seen each other for two years, they were all Jie Yuan."

Chen Xi quickly saluted: "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for your support."

Chen Xi said this, which was definitely not aimless. He now understood that the Fujian Provincial Administration and the Censorate Office were already ready to go all the way. Not only did he have hopelessness in the Yuan Dynasty, but he was even unlikely to pass the imperial examination. However, Liu Daxia intervened in the middle, scaring these corrupt officials to death and quickly acted according to Liu Daxia's instructions. Otherwise, there would probably be few people left in the entire Fujian officialdom.

If Xie Duo was a kindness to Chen Xi, then Liu Daxia could be considered a true support to him.

Liu Daxia smiled and waved his hand: "That's because you have the ability... If you don't have real talent and knowledge, I will never take action, but you have outstanding talent and work for the court. If you are treated unfairly, I will be uneasy. Alas!"

Finally, Liu Daxia sighed deeply, obviously lamenting that the local imperial examinations could not select talents and appoint talents.

As an old minister who has been through three dynasties, Liu Daxia is no longer the kind of loyal minister who can't rub the sand in his eyes. He has to make a decision to investigate everything. He is very clear about some of the disadvantages of the Ming Dynasty from the central government to the local government, and he also knows that he cannot change it alone. At most, he only sees injustice and intervenes.

The Fujian officialdom was terrible, with the rulings of the governing and the chief commander and the commander commander and the chief commander and the officials of Fujian Province all over the country, but if he was asked to bring down all the officials of a province, he would not be able to make up his mind, and the court would not be able to withstand such turmoil.

Liu Daxia said again: "You will also participate in the spring exam this year. However, it is a bit incredible to be a Jinshi at the age of thirteen. I think it's better to practice for a few more years. The Imperial Academy is a good place to do academic research."

Chen Xi was respectful: "Mr. Liu reminded me."

"Um."

Liu Daxia nodded slightly. Although he spoke politely, he had a kind of pressure from a superior, which made Chen Xi always tremble, fearing that he would answer a wrong sentence. Fortunately, Liu Daxia's tone of speaking to Chen Xi was entirely the concern and support of the elders for the younger generations, so Chen Xi was relaxed and could calmly think about every question raised by Liu Daxia and organize language to answer.

Liu Daxia asked again: "What do you think... the official grain was stolen and sold?"

Chen Xi did not dare to express his opinions casually, which involved the secrets of the court. Although in a sense, the juren had already been in the court class and had the power to participate in politics and make decisions. He thought for a while and said, "Students are shallow in their talent and dare not speak nonsense."

Liu Daxia reexamined Chen Xi and suddenly laughed, with a little incredible laughter: "I have heard of Chen Xi, Fuzhou Song Xier's incident... Just say it."

Chen Xi felt nervous. Liu Daxia had no hearing at all, but he knew it clearly! Yu Niang must have told the whole story at that time that she would not even hide the matter of watching Song Xier and the old Confucian scholar and Chen Jiang. She thought about Zhou Xiang and killed her decisively. This should not have happened to a young man. Or this is also an important reason why Liu Daxia valued him and helped him get the title of Jie Yuan.

Chen Xidao: "The students don't know where to start, but Lord Jiang said it well, "The arrow is not turned back." If you stop, you will be in danger."

"oh?"

Liu Daxia was silent for a moment and frowned.

Jiang Liwei took the opportunity to suggest: "Mr., now the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce has been placed in the open, and even the identity of Mr. Chen has been leaked. If he cannot succeed, it will not only alert the thieves, but also in danger if Mr. Chen is willing to make meritorious contributions and capture the thieves. Even if the culprit behind it cannot be drawn out, at least the court will recover some losses..."

Jiang Liwei seems to be speaking for the Tingzhou Chamber of Commerce and thinking about the safety of Chen Xi, but in fact the main purpose is to make meritorious service. If the plan continues, the person who resells official grain will of course be captured, but Chen Xi’s identity is leaked, how can the culprit behind the scenes not take revenge?

Liu Daxia made the final decision: "If you don't need to worry about the case of the Kuliang, you don't need to ask about it. Chen Xi, you haven't finished speaking yet, continue talking."

Jiang Liwei lowered his head, with unwillingness on his face... He belonged to the kind of person who was arrogant and arrogant. He didn't even take the famous scholars and eloquence seriously, let alone the fledgling Chen Xi.

But now Liu Daxia seems to have much more trust in Chen Xi than him, which makes him feel a little angry.

Chen Xidao: "When Jung Liu, the students thought that things could continue, but they just need to capture the person who showed up, and the rest should not be exposed."

"What!?" Jiang Liwei was furious: "You are greedy for life and afraid of death, so you actually let the culprit get away with the law?"

Jiang Liwei couldn't help but push up with Chen Xi in front of Liu Daxia. According to his intention, Chen Xi came forward and pulled out the people behind the scenes, followed the clues and caught the instructor. Chen Xi's meaning was to capture the person who showed up, and not involve the people behind the scenes.
