Chapter 75 The Big Comeback
Next, it is not considered a sect before the first month of the year. One of them is the folk saying, and the fourteen people in the capital were almost the same on February 14.
The Shuntian Prefecture Yamen on the 16th day of the first lunar month is no different from the normal times. The yamen runners and officials are busy in and out.
As mentioned earlier, the Shuntian Prefecture Prefecture is at the capital, and today, the place where high-ranking officials and nobles gather is like a young wife who is angry. No one can get to take care of all aspects of the interests.
Moreover, there may be no small matters that disturb the government in other places. If you are born in the capital, it may be a major matter that the Sili Supervisor and the cabinet have to inquire about.
But no matter what, the prefect of Shuntian was also a dignified third-rank official in the capital. Every rank in red robe was powerful enough to heaven. In front of him, he had to abide by the rules of the officialdom.
For example, now I am standing in the inner hall of Shuntian Prefecture. When I was the Zuo Shaojian, I could barely sit on the same level. Now I am the military supervisor under the Imperial Horse Supervision. My inner court military position has been reduced by one level compared to before. In addition, the literary nobles and martial arts of the Ming Dynasty have been inferior to those of the third-rank civil servants, so I have no reason to be equal before the third-rank civil servants.
In this inner hall, there is Huang Sen, the prefect of Shuntian, who is sitting upright in the main position of the dagger. On the left is the Chengchen Zhizhong of Shuntian, sitting in two rows of seats. Sitting in Zhizhong, the magistrate.
Although there were sitting and standing, Huang Sen and Chen Zhizhong, who were sitting there, looked as if they were kneeling in front of Buyi, and their faces were not very good-looking.
"Dear sirs, our family is not a business trip this time. It's just that the eunuch Zhang Cheng and Eunuch Zhang from the Silijian come to praise you. Wang Tong, the general flag of Jinyi, the South Street Jinyi, is upright in character, loyal to his duties, and never ruthless in dealing with evil people. This is really a model in Jinyi's personal army. Shuntian Mansion is the herdsman's yamen in a good place. It is better to learn more about such models as Wang Tong, and use his life for the emperor to maintain the peace of the capital."
The prefect Huang Sen nodded stiffly as if his chin was injured, and he squeezed a respectful smirk on his face that could be seen at a glance. He replied:
"Eunuch Zhang said very much, it is rare that he can still remember our Shuntian Mansion while he is busy. It is so gratitude. Please give me a reply to Mr. Zhang for my official account. The Shuntian Mansion will definitely not tolerate the evil people. Strictly and severely convicted the case.
When Buyi heard this, he quickly bowed politely and said with a smile:
"Mr. Huang said, the young one must bring to Eunuch Zhang. You guys are busy outside, so I won't bother you anymore. Let's say goodbye."
After saying that, he nodded around and turned around and walked out. The people from Shuntian Mansion could have pretended to be a high-ranking official just now. When Buyi nodded, many people subconsciously stood up from the chair and held their fists respectfully. Only when they got up did they realize that it was wrong. They were neither standing nor sitting, which was extremely embarrassing.
Buyi left the house. Huang Sen, the prefect of Shuntian, looked like he was thinking about something, but in fact he was listening carefully to Buyi's journey.
Although the Ministry of Justice said it well, the prefect Huang Sen and Fuzhou Chen Zhizhong understood what the other party was saying. However, the other officials in the house were confused and everyone asked and communicated with each other in confusion.
"Mr. Chen, have Lord Lu come today?"
The prefect Huang Sen coughed lightly and asked, and a judge next to him was a little puzzled and said:
"Tao Zun, Lu Wancai is greedy. He has been suspended from his post and is waiting to participate!"
But Chen Zhizhong knew what to say immediately. He got up immediately and said righteously.
"Master Huang. Regarding the matter of the promotion officer Lu Wancai's greed for his post, the humble official sent someone to investigate and it was purely a false statement. It should be a slander of a villain. Lord, Shuntian Prefecture has dealt with all aspects of the capital, and it is inevitable that there will be colleagues who offend others. If we do not distinguish carefully and wrong the officials who do their own affairs, who will still be loyal in the future?"
The people in the room all had their eyes widened. Chen Zhizhong, who had been sloppy for so many years, dared to blame the prefect in person. Unexpectedly, the prefect's reaction made them even more confused. He actually said with a smile:
"Mr. Chen is the right statement. Liu Tong, you go to Lu Tui Guan's house in person and tell him about the reinstatement of his official position. "By the way, there are those two constables, what are their names?"
"Wang Si, Li Gui
"Yes, yes. Call them back soon. These two people have always been diligent in their work. I think everyone is the leader of the class!!"
The head of the team is not a formal official, but he is in charge of more than a dozen constables and servants, which is a small promotion. The prefect decided by the prefect. Moreover, there is no conflict or damage to everyone, so everyone naturally has nothing to say and flatter Mr. Huang, who is fair and honest. That is indispensable.
The officials in the inner hall walked out of their busy schedules, leaving only Huang Sen and Chen Zhizhong. The two looked at each other and sighed in unison. The prefect Huang Sen said weakly:
"Why are people in the characters so elusive? Come and say hello earlier, why do you have to make this situation?" But here comes the post of Eunuch Tian, and here comes the post of Eunuch Zhang."
"Sir, Eunuch Tian is just a eunuch in the church. Eunuch Zhang Cheng is his companion today. Eunuch Bingbi of the Silijian will protect you in the future.
It is the current status of Eunuch Feng, who has the status of Eunuch Feng. Seeing that the father-in-law only has Zhaotian Shi’s errands, he can only serve as a messenger. This is a comparison."
Which one is more important? The two who are proficient in the officialdom of the capital have been separated. Huang Sen, the prefect of Shuntian, thought of the powerful people who greeted him, and couldn't help but say:
"The gods fight, and we irrelevant people suffer."
The two sighed in unison, and no one said another. In the opinion of these two, they had been involved in the power struggle of the court. They were either taken as guns or wanted to be scapegoats. Thinking about their hard work and studying for the imperial examinations step by step. They survived to this day, but their glory and wealth suddenly flew away, and they felt as if they were depressed for a moment.
The two of them were the heads and deputy of Shuntian Prefecture. They sat in the inner hall, and no one dared to come to disturb them. Almost half an hour later, a servant outside said loudly:
"Lu Wancai, Lord Lu is here."
The door was opened, and Lu Wan, wearing a double-breasted coat, walked in. After entering, the net was about to bend down to salute, and then he heard Huang Sen laugh and say:
"Wancai, why does Wancai look like a rich man?"
Lu Wancai, who was worried about whether he had called the yamen to ask for guilt, heard this, and remembered Wang Tong's decisive promise yesterday. He was suddenly calm and even smiled and replied:
"It's a joke for Too Zun. He is busy with official duties on weekdays and is rarely at home. He wears casual clothes with his parents, wife and children."
Chen Zhizhong next to him said in a stern voice:
"This is your turn. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, the regent who is in charge of punishment and public security in Shuntian Prefecture should put official affairs first everywhere. How can you indulge in family matters and ignore loyalty!"
Lu Wancai looked shaking and hurriedly bowed to apologize. Although the accusations were serious, he could no longer understand the meaning of the words. You kid will be restored to your post, come to the mansion and be loyal!
The promoter Lu Wancai was not as surprised as he thought. Instead, he was shocking Wang Tong's energy and how capable he was. After the eunuch of Silijian came over, he could turn the plate over and follow the right person. The bet was right.
"Chen Fucheng said this a little more seriously, but it is justified. Lu Tui, if you want to thoroughly investigate the tragedy in Nanjie, you must give justice to the victim. You must not let it go. The case is important. Hurry up and put on the official uniform and lead someone to investigate the case!!"
Lu Wancai thanked him quickly, his attitude even more respectful than before, but everyone knew in his heart that if there was nothing unexpected happening in the case, after the investigation, no one in Shuntian Mansion could touch the Lu Proxy.
Here, he turned around and was about to go out. A master hurriedly ran in outside. Only then did Lu Wan recognize that this was Huang Sen's confidant and quickly flashed aside.
"Tai Zun, someone from the South Street came to report the case, saying that He Jinyin was assassinated in the alley."
Apart from the one who reported the news, the rest of the people in the room took a deep breath. Things were really troublesome. He Jinyin's death did not mean the end of the case.
The suspect died, and died for no reason. It’s nothing to die, but how do you explain it to the superiors, especially the Zhang Cheng and Eunuch Zhang who sent someone to urge him today.
What's even more troublesome is that this means that this matter is not just a casino setting up a plan to kill people. Looking at these powerful and noble people who are urging love to do it, you will know that this matter is not that simple, and you don't know how deep the water is and what kind of powerful and noble people are involved.
Mamon and Chen Zhizhong looked at each other and made a decision in unison:
"Prison Lu, there is another hidden truth in this case. You must check it out in detail, find out who is going to kill someone, whether it is a revenge or a silence, and investigate it to the end."
When Lu Wancai went out, his complacent intentions turned into a bitter face at this time, but he could only turn back and pay solemnly to accept the order:
"Please rest assured, the officials will definitely follow up to the end."
The Secretariat and Supervisory Office in the palace, the six cabinet ministries transferred to the secret memorials from the inner court, and the urgent documents from all over the country were all gathered here.
Dozens of small eunuchs kept sorting the documents and presented them one by one. Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, often accompanied Emperor Wanli to discuss with the ministers of the cabinet in the morning. The eunuch who sat here was Zhang Cheng, the eunuch who was on the pen. He sat behind the desk, either criticizing the money or indicating that he needed to be transferred to the emperor.
The other eunuchs in the hall were there to carefully review relatively less important documents. Suddenly, eunuch Zhang Cheng, bingbi, snorted coldly, slapped the table, and said slowly:
"Tian An, Altan's troops invaded the frontier. What an important urgent report, why did he just deliver it now?"
After this, Tian An's pen fell on the table and stood up in a hurry. Before he could explain, Zhang Cheng's words over there had already turned into sternness:
"I don't do the major affairs of the country. But I go to Shuntian Mansion to be famous. How do you do this job!!!"
