Chapter 103 Opening of Trial in the Post Hall ([-]) Second Change
"No need for clues!" The old monk waved his hand and said, "This kid doesn't need to investigate anything! You officials should be on guard against him, he can make you speak out about your crimes without evidence! I saw it with my own eyes. That guy from the Cao gang was so deadly that he couldn't even speak, but this kid explained the ins and outs of the matter in a few words..."

"Since the man didn't speak, how can we judge whether this... the policeman is right or wrong?" An official asked in puzzlement.

"Look at the eyes! Even if there is only one eye left, you still have to look!" The old monk said loudly.

"But, you can't convict someone just by looking at them!" Another official said cautiously.

"You don't understand this!" The old monk walked up to the official with his hands behind his back: "What do you want to see first when you walk?"

"what?"

"Don't you have to look at the direction before you know where to go? It's the same with investigating and handling cases. You need to know who to investigate first, and the rest is not easy?"

The official seemed to be very educated, and praised the old monk.

Qin Wubing felt that this time the group cross talk, it seemed that he didn't need to speak, and the old monk was his mouth. Thinking about it this way, Qin Wubing felt that the old monk was not useless.

All the officials gathered around the old monk to learn scriptures, only Xie Yu walked up to Qin Wubing's side, and asked in a low voice about the ins and outs of Cao Gang's participation.

For a moment, the officials in the hall seemed to have forgotten that there was a first-rank river governor lying on the ground, and the discussion was very lively.

Suddenly, Prince Xiang spoke up.

"It's rare for me to have someone useful by my side, but this arrester from Jinghai County is very suitable for me!"

"It suits me too!" The old monk added.

"But there are always people who don't want to see useful people around this king, and always think of ways to make the little catcher disappear quickly. This king can only say, don't underestimate him, and don't underestimate this king! Don't make Qin Wubing sick, but make your whole family sick!"

Qin Wubing was a little excited when he heard this, does this count as an announcement of his belonging to the foreign officials?

The hall suddenly fell silent.

The old monk laughed and said, "It's just like the Cao Gang, who only sent more than 20 people to want this kid's life, and they all confessed in less than a stick of incense..."

"How does Qi Shu know that they want to kill Wu Bing instead of Qi Shu being among them?" Prince Xiang asked seriously.

Most of these officials in the hall have contacts with the Cao Gang. If this ambush has only a grudge with a small policeman, it is not difficult to resolve this matter, at least they think it is not difficult, but if it is related to the royal family, the Cao Gang is afraid this time It is going to be a heavy loss!

As for whether the Cao Gang intends to catch up quickly or the royal family, it depends on the intention of Prince Xiang. Some officials even feel that adding the lost 50 taels of silver to the Cao Gang is also a crime of wanting to impose it. This is to clean up the Cao Gang. helped.

There was still a governor of the river lying on the ground, but some officials in the hall started thinking. Now that the Cao Gang has encountered a catastrophe, there will be people who will go to the doctor indiscriminately. It is the best time to make money. Make a solid profit? ...

Even what Prince Xiang said later, some people didn't hear at all.

Unfortunately, before these people could figure out the steps, Deng Ming and Chen Zhong ordered people to report back: There is a dark room hidden in the study room in the outer courtyard of Governor Hedao's mansion, and there are three boxes of gold and five boxes of silver in it. Several, a box of bank notes, not yet registered, do you want to search the inner court?
Prince Xiang only said: "Don't startle the family members!"

The visitors retreated, and the hall was instantly quiet again.

At this time, Fan Shoukang was lying on the ground like chaff, crying bitterly.

Lord Xiang got up slowly, looked at Fan Shoukang on the ground with his hands behind his back and sighed for a long time:
"You are a Jinshi in Shengde for eight years, and you have been an official for dozens of years. Is it easy to go from a poor county magistrate to the governor of the river? You are different from Jiang Yidong. His family's friendship with the royal family for several generations is naturally more secure. How about you? Brother Huang once said that you are honest, self-reliant, fair-minded, upright and upright, and I want to use your fortitude and integrity to govern the river..."

"My lord! I'm an official... I have no choice!" Fan Shoukang climbed to the feet of Prince Xiang, kowtowed frequently, and cried bitterly: "The lord only knows that the household department is filthy, so how can you know the situation of the official department? Don't ask about it! If you are not filial, what should you do?" Those who are promoted are suppressed, and those who should not be demoted are fabricated charges, and the lower officials have no trustworthy tree, so they can only follow the crowd..."

"Ha! According to what you mean, Jiang Yidong has a big tree to enjoy the shade, so why is he still corrupt? It is obvious that you are not greedy and greedy, and you only hope that the power in your hands will be overwhelming! Then there will be countless people. Gold and silver! Will there be an end?! Your majesty lives in Jiuchong and has a wide range of insights. How can you not know your thoughts? But as a minister, you are a man of heaven, even if you have a little bit of uneasiness, you can be saved! Wen Sijian Fight to the death! This is the duty of the courtiers, the emperor dare not expect officials to be like this, but I hope that you will pretend to be a little bit of a commoner in your heart, and restrain your bad looks!"

The more Prince Xiang spoke, the more angry he was, he pointed at Fan Shoukang with his finger, and that finger was trembling uncontrollably.

"You have been the governor of rivers for more than five years. Have you never seen a flood? Have you seen people displaced? Have you seen floating corpses on the Yellow River?! How can you get rid of the money! Come on! Get it here The animal's official uniform, taken to the dungeon of the government office, beheaded in the downtown at noon tomorrow for public display!"

Qin Wubing only felt a gust of wind passing by his sides, and then Fan Shoukang was dragged out like a dead pig.

All the officials in the hall seemed to have made an agreement, and they all knelt down on the ground, except Xie Yu and Tian Wenqian, all of them were so frightened that their faces were earthy and trembling.

Qin Wubing stood upright, his whole body tensed!It was the second time in a day that he stood in front of kneeling officials.

"You don't need to be so scared. When Jiang Yidong was taken away that day, Fan Shoukang was just like you. He was so scared that he sifted through the chaff. What happened? When you see silver, forget everything! Your head grows on your own neck. You don't want to Yes, there are plenty of beheading knives! There are even more people who want to sit in your position! Don’t think that you can do what other people do. Leave others alone and think carefully about your own ideas. Is it enough to be dismissed from office and beheaded!"

"If you want me to say, pull them all out and chop them up!" the old monk yelled.

"Seventh Uncle, don't worry, take your time! Tian Wenqian!"

"I'm here!" Tian Wenqian stood up and bowed.

"Your new governor of Jiangnan, I have a difficult job for you. Officials in the prefectures and counties of Jiangnan Province will give them a time limit for self-examination, report the mistakes according to the facts, and hand over the embezzled money within a time limit. The court can let the past go. Don’t settle accounts later, if you conceal and fail to report, once you find out, the crime will be aggravated! If you commit the crime again later, you will be punished with death! Xie Yu!”

"The officer is here!" Xie Yu got up.

"Although the opportunity is given, there will always be some people who think they are smart and don't want their heads with their money! Tian Wenqian opens the door and waits for those officials who repent, then you will become a villain and arrest all those corrupt officials who concealed things and took chances ! In order to repair the river course, I will stay in Jinling for a while, you can use Qin Wubing as you like, once you find out, you will never be lenient!"
