Jingming

Chapter 143 Skynet, Slippery Fish

Luo An went straight to Chengtian Gate.

On the left is Liubu, and on the right is Wufu.

Jin Yiwei is on the right hand side of the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army, south of the Tongzheng Envoy.

Commander of the majestic Jinyiwei, who doesn't know now?

Although only temporarily.

He hurried into the palace, and not long after, the Minister of the Household Department, the Minister of the Ministry of War Wang Xian, and Cui Concubine, the head of the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army, all left the palace together.After a while, Luo An also came out, followed by a few captains of Jinyi, and went straight to the Jinyiwei Office with a straight face.

"All the hall officials, except those who are on duty in the palace, all call back. No matter what you are doing, stop what you are doing immediately. Tianzi number one, each act according to the regulations. Don't rush, don't mess up!"

Outside Jin Yiwei's gate, Luo An put down a few words in a cold voice, and the people behind him all said yes, and then dispersed to the important areas of the city.

Luo An walked into the door and opened his mouth and shouted: "More than a thousand households, report to this commander before the case!"

The high-level officials who stayed in the Jinyiwei government office were informed very quickly. As soon as Luo An walked to the inner door of the main hall, there were already hurried footsteps behind him.

Turning around and walking to the desk, he turned his head to look at the puzzled people, and a word flashed in his mind: This sentence is absolutely right, since I ordered you to be the commander of the Jinyiwei, you have my backing.

He tensed his back and glanced sharply: "Heavenly alert, today's password: pomegranate blossoms! Do you understand?"

The hearts of all the people present were shocked.

Beginning when Zhang Tong Shibao went south at the end of June, military officers at the rank of a thousand households or above in Jinyiwei had homework every day since then.

Is it really going to start to be used every time the commander brings back the regulations from the palace for them to memorize?
Pomegranate blossoms... It was an action plan that Beizhen Fushi began to formulate after returning to Beijing.Nothing is much different than usual.However, once it starts, Jin Yiwei will keep an eye on the important officials on a very long list under the normal circumstances of the nine gates of the capital, and report to the commander every once in a while.

that list...

"Do you understand everything!" Luo An frowned, and asked again with sharp eyes.

"Impressive order!"

"Although it has never been tried, the commander is watching who will make mistakes!" Luo An said coldly, "This year's Tianzi No. [-], Your Majesty, is also watching whether we can do well!"

After a moment of silence, only one word came out of his mouth: "Scatter!"

At the key point of the capital's center, all the top officials of Jinyiwei immediately left the government office with their hands, and went to the area they had arranged in accordance with the regulations.

Officials from the six departments and five governments watched the movement secretly, but apart from not knowing what orders they had received, everything was as usual.

Zhang Tong also returned to the Neijiu Factory, and he currently has only three thousand households under his command.

"Tianzi No. [-]! Opening, visiting friends, outing!"

"...Command, password?"

"The pomegranate is blooming." Zhang Tong said with a serious face, "Send a letter to the fourteen yin and yang cicada masters, drink the dew and wait for the wind!"

"Yes!"

Zhang Tong watched the three of them leave in a hurry.

He didn't know if this first official operation could reach the level expected by His Majesty's secret decree, but in His Majesty's request and Huang Jin's narration, the internal inspection factory is even more important than Jin Yiwei, far more important!
"Information is the heart!"

For this reason, the new regulations of the internal inspection factory can be called complicated.Although what His Majesty said is only approximate, Zhang Tong must keep moving in that direction.

What His Majesty has prepared for the inner factory, whether it is annual expenses or rewards, special care, and pensions, is enough to suffocate Zhang Tong and the three thousand households today: Jin Yiwei never thought that the inner factory would have such a level of salary. Level of accounting preferential treatment.

But after all, His Majesty will arrange for Eunuch Huang of the Internal File Department to check the accounts himself.

If there is no merit, why continue to support the inner factory like this?

If it doesn't work, why does Your Majesty have to memorize the names of the 28 cicada masters who are only a hundred households, and each of them has a book with Eunuch Huang?
The invisible ripples had spread out from the Forbidden City. A thousand households of Jinyiwei came out of the government office, and looked there calmly as they passed by the entrance of the household department.

The clerk at the porter saw that his saber was not on his right waist today, so he hesitated for a moment, raised his head and yawned.

Qianhu took the saber in his hand, shook it up and down and continued walking, the porter's eyes became serious.

"Old Yu, I'm in a hurry, please wait for me for a while." He raised his trouser waist and walked into the household department.

An oriole Buzi came towards him, the little official hurried out of the way, looked at him out of the corner of his eye, and recognized who it was.

Why did Zhao Mo Suo Zhao Mo walk out in doubt?

In the Central Palace, Yang Tinghe was waiting for the news from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Wang Shouren and Wang Qiong, who had served as Minister of the Ministry of War, were advising His Majesty on how to draft Yang Yiqing's order. Zhang Yong also came.

Yang Tinghe didn't know who was responsible for catching the Nishou that His Majesty was talking about.

Yang Tinghe doesn't know how the Jinyiwei and the Internal Investigation Factory will act under the fourth-level security of Tiandi Xuanhuang that His Majesty said.

Now, there is no move to close the nine gates of the capital, so everything should be as usual outside, right?

Only a few ministers who participated in the national policy meeting left, which is quite normal: there have been precedents in which the national policy meeting was held for a long time before, and then only a few people were left to discuss some specific measures when the strategy was determined.

This is destined to be a very special day, and Yang Tinghe has never encountered such a moment in his life.

Since the southeast incident, this inexplicable killing of officials has been gestating something.The emperor was furious that day, and finally heeded the advice, and withdrew his warning words to Southeast, but only asked Zhang Zilin to announce the oral order according to the situation after finding out the truth.

Until today, they didn't know that the emperor had already grasped some possible clues in the capital outside the southeast.

If it weren't for the changes in Ganzhou, you would still slowly deploy and wait for more people to be caught, right?Yang Ting and the others now have a clearer understanding of why they used the matter of Emperor Zhengde's heir to lure snakes out of their holes.

But now that it is necessary to start actions in advance to deal with the changes in the border towns, all the officials in the capital are naturally on the list of "heaven-level alert".

It should be right, but Yang Tinghe looked at the emperor with a little fear: he still listened attentively to Wang Shouren and Wang Qiong's talk about the important officials and the deployment of border towns.

Scholars in the south of the Yangtze River talked a lot about Taizong Fang Xiaoru's old affairs. After all, His Majesty suspected all the ministers, or civil servants.I just don't know what His Majesty's mind is like.

At the time of Taizu, the scholars in Huanzhong were not used by the emperor, but those who taught themselves from outside. It is not an offense to punish him and lose his family.

What about today?What will be done?
……

There is one person in the Terumo Institute of the Ministry of Finance, who is the eighth grade.There is only one inspector, and he is the ninth rank.

This photo mill is only responsible for checking official documents and supervising the standardization process.

Now, Zhaomo Fan Ting of Zhaomo Institute walked out of the household department in doubt and went straight to Shouninghou's mansion.

Da Sinong said that at the national policy meeting, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry audited the accounts at the end of the year, and there were still some documents missing regarding the construction of Kangling.

Fan Ting thinks that such a trivial matter should not be discussed at the national policy meeting, is it because it involves the two brothers Shou Ninghou and Jianchang Hou?

Da Si Nong confessed, but because the process changed slightly after the national policy meeting, three documents needed to be filled up quickly.

The Marquis of Shouning needed to quickly arrange the formalities and settle the account, so Fan Ting had no choice but to go there himself.

After all, that is Shouning Hou.

An eighth-rank official is almost a small transparent within the nine gates of the capital.

The footsteps are hurried, but fortunately, when the servants of the idle family see the official uniform, they will take the initiative to avoid it.

When you see a guard of honor, you know it belongs to a noble family, but Fan Ting himself will avoid it.

Anyway, the mere formalities are not urgent.

He even remembered what his wife reminded him when he was passing by a small shop, and went in to buy a new wooden comb.

When he arrived at the gate of the Marquis of Shouning, he cautiously said kind words to the servants at the door: "Please inform me that Fan Ting of the Ministry of Household Zhaomo is ordered by the chief minister to see the Marquis. It is the supervisor of Kangling." Regarding the rolling of accounts, the process has changed slightly after the establishment of the National Policy Conference, and three documents have to be supplemented."

In Fan Ting's impression, this kind of thing was already done, and now he needs to add materials.

What should I do if the Hou Mansion is troubled?Let me be clear first.

Having said it clearly, the porter saw his official uniform, looked him up and down without any scruples, and said lazily: "Fan Zhaomo, wait a moment, I will go and report."

Fan Ting smiled slightly, then pointed to the door and asked another servant: "It's windy outside, should I wait in the concierge first?"

In front of the Shouning Marquis Mansion, don't put on airs and claim to be an official. This is the survival wisdom of Fan Ting, a sesame official in the capital, for many years.

If he went to Ge Lao's mansion, he would straighten his back.but here?What really happened, one side is the Marquis, and the other side is only the Eighth Grade.

"Take care of yourself."

The servant at the door didn't make it difficult for him, after all, he came here for business, and the eighth-rank official didn't have much to offer, not to mention that Lord Hou had just ordered not to cause trouble recently.

So one thinks that the other party is still domineering and not easy to mess with, and the other despises the other party and can't afford a few pieces of money to be filial to him.

Fan Ting waited quietly out of the wind.

Regardless of whether Shou Ninghou is in the mansion or not, he just needs to meet the housekeeper and tell him about it.

Although Da Si Nong told the Hou Mansion to arrange for someone to go to the household department to complete the formalities today, but in Fan Ting's view, it is enough to notify in person.

In the Hou Mansion, the Marquis of Shouning is indeed not in the mansion.

Even if he was in the mansion, the concierge was used to it, and he would report such things directly to Steward Fang, and then he would report it to Lord Hou.

"The Ministry of Households is grinding? Kangling is missing paperwork for the account?"

Fang Muxian asked strangely.

"That's right, you're wearing an official uniform, Huang Li Buzi." The porter replied.

"I see. You first invite him to sit in the front courtyard wing, and I'll go there in a while."

Fang Muxian waited for him to leave, his eyes became serious.

The Banghou Mansion has dealt with so many yamen for so many years, and it's not the first time that Shouninghou has been given the job of supervising some project by virtue of his status.
It has been nearly half a year since the establishment of the National Policy Conference. The Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry have not missed the accounts due to the reconstruction of the Rijing Gate and the renovation of the Qingning Palace. The matter involved Shouninghou, so how could they forget some procedures?
He became vigilant and began to think about the possibility.

"Liuyi." He went out and yelled to the next room, "Go out from the side door and look at the alley. If there is nothing unusual, then go to Dazhong's shop and ask. If you see something wrong, or Dazhong's While saying that something is wrong, come back immediately and look for me in the wing room in the front yard."

"Understood." The young man in the clothes of a domestic servant left in a hurry with a slight expression on his face.

Fang Muxian returned to the room again, looking at a small cabinet next to the bookshelf.

Is there any chance?

Although there has been nothing abnormal, it is quite unusual to make up the paperwork today.

Thinking about the current situation, it would be a pity to give up decisively.

But he still took out the small locker first, and then whispered: "Wu Li, are you outside the door?"

"Godfather, the baby is here."

"Come in."

Fang Muxian handed him the small cabinet: "Call Qilian, and we will drive together to Zhuangzi outside the city to transport winter vegetables. If there is any change, you take it and hide in the western suburbs first, and let Qilian go south to Huguang. As usual, you will wait in the village outside the city first, and come back together when you see your brother."

"Godfather, what happened?"

Fang Muxian shook his head. He looked outside the door and saw that Liuyi, who had left before, hadn't come back yet, thinking that everything should be as usual at the alley.

"Just in case, you go first."

Be cautious, but you don't have to be like a frightened bird.

He, Fang Muxian, has been in the capital for so many years. He is the steward of the Shouning Marquis, and there are still many people who know about it.

Isn't it because of this identity that you come here to work?
After Fang Muxian made arrangements, he walked slowly to the wing room in the front courtyard.

"Fan Zhaomo, wait a long time."

Although the concierge did not announce his name, Fang Muxian naturally knew that his surname was Fan Mingting.

"Your Excellency is in charge of the Hou's mansion, right? I've looked forward to it for a long time."

Fan Ting didn't give up too much. Although he had never met him, some colleagues praised him, saying that it was a pity that he had no family background and could only serve as a servant of the Marquis.

The Marquis of Shouning did not know how many "innocuous" trivial matters were settled by this steward Fang.

"I heard that there is something about Kang Ling's commissioning of the accounts, please see Lord Hou?" Fang Muxian asked suspiciously, "Before now, I have checked and posted the accounts with the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry. There are no documents missing."

Fan Ting laughed: "I don't know. After Da Sinong came back from the palace, he said that this matter was discussed at the National Policy Conference. Fang Guanshi also knew that His Majesty Yuji Queen has many new regulations. I'm afraid there are still some places. Not sure. This matter has something to do with the Marquis's Mansion, probably for the sake of safety."

"I don't know what document needs to be reissued?" Fang Muxian asked without changing his smile, with a humble and cooperative attitude.

"Da Si Nong only asked the Hou Mansion to send someone to go to the household department with the seal used by Lord Hou's previous documents." Fan Ting also smiled, "Three copies are missing, after all, there are now The national policy conference also has an internal file department."

"Since that's the case, then there's no rush." ​​Fang Muxian saluted, "Unfortunately, Lord Hou took his seal to Tongzhou early this morning, and he should be back home before Shenshi, after all, he has to go to the banquet at night. If it is not on time , I will rush there. If it is a little bit late, I will arrive tomorrow morning."

Fan Ting felt that the task was completed, and he also bowed: "I'm sorry, then Fan will leave."

"I send Fan Zhaomo off."

Fang Muxian chatted and sent him to the gate of Hou's mansion, standing at the foot of the mansion's steps as if waiting for him to go away.When Fan Tingou turned his head and saw that he was still at the door, and turned around to greet him again, Fang Muxian also smiled and bent slightly.

Out of the corner of his eye, there was nothing unusual at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

After he walked back to the gate of the mansion, he frowned slightly: Could it be that three transcripts were really missing?Although Fan Tingguan is young, since he came to the Hou's mansion to handle the matter in person, why didn't he know what documents to short?Isn't Zhaomo Institute responsible for checking official documents?
If it is really urgent, why not just bring the transcript and print it?

When Fang Muxian returned to the front yard, the young man he called Liuyi also came, and he just shook his head when he saw him.

Turning his head to look outside the gate of the mansion, Fang Muxian's face was serious: how to decide?
