Great Qin's son-in-law

Zheng house.

Zheng Xuan didn't go to the Railway Bureau on time today.

He looked at the reluctant Zheng An, and scolded: "You don't want to go anywhere these days, you really think I don't know where you want to go? And you want to hang out with those remnants of the Six Kingdoms."

"No!"

"You just stay at home."

"Isn't the joke big enough these two days?"

"You don't feel ashamed, I feel ashamed too, I, Zheng Xuan, am a public official, why did I give birth to such a useless son like you."

Zheng An stood aside and said restlessly:

"How did I know those historians could solve the case?"

"You also heard it yesterday. Even the prison guards couldn't solve this case in a day. Who knows, they met someone with a novel idea."

"I'm wronged too!"

"I'm no longer an official, I'm just a head of Guizhou. You, A Weng, will arrange for you to go to a nearby county to start again in a while. During this time, you might as well let me go out and relax."

"Don't worry, Ah Weng, I will never cause trouble."

"And now there are no remnants of the Six Kingdoms. They are all serious Qin people. A Weng, you are wrong."

Zheng Xuan's face turned pale.

snorted coldly:
"What I say is what I say."

"I won't let you go out, so don't even think about going out."

"If you want to go out, at least you have to wait for this period of time to pass, otherwise don't even think about it."

"I'll let Lichen stare at you later. If you dare to run outside, you don't want to come back. Do you think it's too little time?"

Just when Zheng Xuan reprimanded Zheng An, a servant hurried over, bowed to Zheng Xuan and said, "Parents, someone from the Tie Guan Zuo came, saying that the Tie Guan Zuo called him here, and there is something urgent to see the parents. People are in the lobby now."

"Parents, do you see?"

"Tie Guanzuo called someone?" Zheng Xuan frowned.

There are two officers and assistants in the Railway Bureau.

They are all his assistants.

These two people are his confidantes who deliberately arranged to come in.

In the past, he would let these two handle any difficult things he encountered.

These two iron officials are calm-minded people, they rarely make mistakes in their work, and they seldom trouble themselves. Recently, there is no major incident in the iron official office. They suddenly sent someone to inform themselves, what is the situation?
Could it be that something happened in the Railway Bureau?
Zheng Xuanlue pondered, but he couldn't think of the reason, so he also went to the lobby with a flick of his sleeves.

Zheng An hesitated for a moment, then followed.

in the lobby.

A small official was walking back and forth anxiously, when he saw Zheng Xuan, he quickly saluted and said: "The official has seen Tie Guancheng."

Zheng Xuan raised his forehead slightly, and said calmly:
"Go ahead."

"What happened in the office?"

The little official bowed and said:
"Guancheng, Tie Guanzuo got the news just now that someone with a supervisory history will come to the government office to check the situation in the nearest government office. Tie Guanzuo is afraid of accidents, so he asked his subordinates to come and inform Guan Cheng."

"The person who supervises the history wants to investigate the official office?" Zheng Xuan frowned, then relaxed, and said disdainfully: "Since they want to investigate, let them investigate. I, Zheng Xuan, have always fulfilled my duties and never committed corruption. Do whatever they want."

The little official looked around.

Whisper:
"Guan Zuo said that Yu Shi Huafu is leading the team this time."

"Huafu?" Zheng Xuan's eyes sank, he stared at the little official, and frowned.

a long time.

Zheng Xuan waved his hand and said:

"I see."

"Go back to the official office first, I'll go there right away."

"Resignation, my servant." The little official made a bow and retreated slowly.

When the little official walked away, Zheng An also scolded angrily: "This Hua Yu really said one thing and did another. Yesterday he swore that he would not let his father come to investigate, but turned around and sent someone to investigate .”

"Talk like fart."

"Fortunately, I used to believe that he was unselfish."

"It turns out that he's just like everyone else."

"I bother!"

Zheng Xuan turned his head, glanced at Zheng An, and snorted coldly: "This is the real officialdom. There is no such thing as self-denial and law enforcement. It's just that it didn't fall on me."

"Over the years, Hua Yu, under the name of 'Washington', has bluffed outside and gained a lot of good reputation, but in fact, Washington has long since declined, and now Washington is just an empty shell, except that other people Out of affection, I didn’t expose it.”

"Being ripped off by me this time, I naturally became angry from embarrassment."

"But relying on such tricks as surprise inspections, they want to get me, Zheng Xuan, down. They are just talking nonsense."

"This Huafu hasn't been to the court for a long time. Recently, he suddenly went to the court and started various actions. I'm afraid he really wanted to come back, but he really wanted to find someone to show his prestige and find me on Zheng Xuan's head. He really thought too much .”

"But how can I, Zheng Xuan, be afraid of him?"

Zheng An also smiled and said:
"That is."

"Ah Weng has always been impeccable in his work."

"What can he find out as a censor?"

"He mobilized so many people, but in the end he returned without success. Their face in Washington is really going to be lost this time."

"Who will take Washington seriously in the future?"

Think of this.

Zheng An also excitedly said: "Ah Weng, this is equivalent to stepping on Hua Fu's face to enter the court hall. In the future, in the court hall, who will not look at A Weng highly?"

Zheng Xuan also looked proud.

But then.

He seemed to think of something, and his face suddenly changed.

Zheng Xuan looked at Zheng An fiercely, with anger welling up in his heart, he waved his hand and slapped Zheng An.

Zheng An was a little stunned by the slap, and said aggrievedly: "Ah Weng, why did you hit me?"

Zheng Xuan scolded angrily:
"This time I'm really going to be cheated to death by you."

"The iron you took a few days ago has not been recorded in the account yet. Huafu will find it out easily after an investigation. When the time comes, the government will thoroughly investigate and some things will not be concealed."

"no!"

"I have to go back and get this out of the way."

"Otherwise, I will suffer this time!"

Zheng Xuan took a deep breath, ignoring the official mansion and wearing a long gown, he hurried towards the railway bureau.

heard.

Zheng An also panicked.

He had almost forgotten about it.

If Huafu finds out that someone has tampered with the iron, he will be found out soon, and his father will be implicated as well.

Then he is really finished.

Think of this.

Zheng An also collapsed to the ground on the spot.

In the end, he slapped himself hard.

scolded:
"Why are you so cheap? Why do you listen to others' compliments? You even bought two sets of armor for the sake of face. Why are you so stupid!"

When Zheng An was panicked, Zheng Xuan also rushed to the iron bureau.

but.

Huafu also arrived.

Hua Fu was actually quite surprised.

He really wanted to stand up for Qin Luoheng, but he was just a censor, without orders and no one to sue the officials, they couldn't act without authorization.

But suddenly, His Majesty gave the order.

Inspect the iron bureau.

He was very clear about the intention of His Majesty's order, so he immediately took over this task. Although His Majesty said that he wanted to investigate the Iron Officials Office, in his opinion, His Majesty actually only wanted to investigate one person, that is, Zheng Xuan, the Iron Official Cheng.

Zheng Xuan bullied the wrong person last night!

Hua Fu was also a little happy. He was most afraid that His Majesty would ignore Qin Luoheng, but His Majesty's actions now showed that His Majesty still cared about Qin Luoheng very much, which made him feel completely at ease.

If there is a sense of presence, there is still a chance!

Seeing Hua Fu, Zheng Xuan frowned, but due to his official position, he could only bow down and salute: "Tie Guancheng Zheng Xuan has seen Hua Yushi."

Hua Fu ignored it and walked straight to the lobby.

Loudly:
"According to His Majesty's order, investigate the iron bureau."

"I hope that you will cooperate to send the books, materials, account books, and related documents in recent years to the lobby for review by Zhuxia Shi and Shangji officials."

Chief Iron Officer Ma Xing saluted and said:

"Dare to ask Hua Yushi, our Railway Bureau has already carried out the 'up plan' in September, why is it that we have to review it again in less than four months?"

"And in the past, it was audited by the internal historian, why is the imperial historian's office to audit this time?"

"Is there anything in it?"

Ma Xing was a little uneasy.

Their Iron Officials Office is under the Internal History Department. In the past, in September, they would hand over one year's account books to the 'Zhisu Internal History' for review. As a result, they suddenly had to review it again, and it was still reviewed by the people from the Yushifu.

It's hard not to worry about him.

In particular, the history of supervision came, which was for the investigation of officials.

Hua Fu wanted not to answer, but he seemed to think of something later, and whispered something to Ma Xing. Hearing this, Ma Xing's expression instantly relaxed, but when everyone didn't notice, he quietly glanced at Zheng Xuan.

He had heard about Zheng Xuan and the prison office.

But since he wasn't the one who investigated, he naturally wouldn't meddle in other people's business.

Ma Xing ordered: "Come here, move all the account books of the past few years to the lobby for review by the historian under the pillar and the accountant."

Done.

The little official who supervised the history followed the little official of the Iron Official Office to the interior of the Iron Official Office, and took out the account books of previous years one by one. Just watch.

The official system of the Qin Dynasty is very similar to that of later generations.

The top leaders at the county, county, road, and metropolitan levels mainly do daily management and have the 'right to appoint officials' in the official office, that is, the right to appoint and remove personnel. As for the actual work, they are basically the county, county, and official officials The second in command is in charge.

The "Law of Setting Officials" stipulates: If a coward sees another official, he may not remove his old official assistant or replace him with a new official.

Officials (collectively referred to as officials at the county level) were transferred to other government offices, and the assistants and officials of the original government office were not allowed to be appointed to the new government office.

This was done by the Qin Dynasty to prevent hilltopism.

Ma Xing was transferred from another government office, so he and Zheng Xuan were not in the same group. Even if Zheng Xuan was found to have a problem, at most he was improperly supervised, and he would not be really connected. So after knowing that he was not being investigated, Ma Xing Also completely relieved.

He even went to chat with Hua Fu for a few words.

Huafu didn't put on airs either.

Ma Xing is the patriarch of the Ma family. After Qin State destroyed Zhao, the Ma family of Zhao State was also ordered to move to Xianyang by Qin Shihuang. After the unification of the world, Ma Xing was also directly named Wu'anhou by Qin Shihuang.

but.

Ma Xing didn't want to accept this reward.

He knew very well that this reward was not for him.

Instead, it was given to his uncle Ma Fuzi Zhao Kuo, but Zhao Kuo had no heirs, so the reward fell on him in the end.

Feng Hou Wu'an.

Their Ma family was the successor of Zhao She, the famous general of Zhao State, but it turned out to be the Marquis of Wu An in Qin Dynasty. beginning.

Huafu naturally knew Ma Xing's identity.

In the Battle of Changping, he even went into battle in person.

However, after the end of the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi's methods were so brutal that Zhao Di and the Qin people had been at odds all these years. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty even regarded the events of the year as taboo and never dared to mention them. I don't want to touch this brow.

Ma Xing is the nephew of the person concerned.

Huafu also sold a good one because of this, and wanted to ease the relationship between the two, and didn't want Ma Xing to be hostile to them because of what happened back then.

Zhuxia Shi and Shangji officials reviewed these bamboo slips.

the other side.

Zheng Xuan and the two iron officials got together.

Zheng Xuan asked in a low voice: "My son Zheng An made a mess some time ago, have you dealt with it just now?"

Guan Zuo Fangheng looked around.

Whisper:
"Time is too tight."

"The person who supervised the history came too suddenly."

"We were totally off guard."

"But the previous ones have been dealt with cleanly, so there shouldn't be any mistakes."

"As for Lingzi's, I temporarily approved some of them from the document submitted today, and made up the amount of iron they used to make up for Lingzi's. As long as the historian under the pillar and the official planner don't check them one by one, I think it should be checked. Nothing comes out."

"But I'm afraid we'll be in trouble in the future."

"The weather has been cold these few months, and the iron production of iron mines in various places has declined. I will try to fill these vacancies for a while, but I'm afraid I can't do it. The key point is that these documents have been approved. The iron they want is temporarily used to fill the basket. Wait a few days for work. Officials from Yamen and workshops come to latte, but we can’t hand them over.”

"Zheng Guancheng, what should I do?"

Zheng Xuan's face was gloomy.

Reassured:
"It's okay, I'll figure it out then."

"I will never implicate you in the stupid things my son did, but now, we must fool the supervision, otherwise we will not be able to escape today."

"Self-appropriation of wrought iron is a capital offense!"

Zheng Xuan cast a gloomy glance at the two of them.

Then he said:

"Is the document you approved still there?"

Fang Heng nodded.

Whisper:
"I copied the approved part to the previous document, and as for the rest of the unapproved document, I secretly hid it."

"This document was delivered today, and not many people know about it."

"They shouldn't be able to find out."

Zheng Xuan nodded slightly.

Said:

"That's good."

"When these officials leave, give me this document, and I'll see if there is any way to squeeze some wrought iron out of it as before."

talking.

Zheng Xuan also cursed angrily:
"This disobedient son, if it wasn't for this only son, I would have killed him long ago!"

"I was trembling and cautious all day long at the iron bureau, lest I make a mistake and be targeted by the censor. Fortunately, he embezzled the wrought iron from the bureau without saying a word, and you did the same. Why didn't you stop it at that time? ?”

"It makes you so passive now."

"If the surveillance history really finds out something this time, when I go back, let's see if I don't kill this idiot immediately."

Zheng Xuan was really angry.

If it wasn't for these two iron officials who were quick-witted and dealt with it in advance, otherwise they would really be doomed this time.

the other side.

Supervisor Shi Qing checked the account books.
