The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 352 Glory
At the entrance of the Wucheng Army and Horse Department, Xie Zhifei dismounted, threw the reins to the guards behind him, and strode into the government office.

The inspection mission has been arranged. As the commander-in-chief, he must sit in the government office to receive news from all parties.

As soon as I sat down and before I took a sip of the hot tea, my old boss Bai Yanlin came in a hurry.

He has been transferred from the Five Cities to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and serves as the censor of the city. The military uniform he was originally wearing has been replaced by the official uniform of a civil servant.

Bai Yanlin was also the first to take office as a new official. He was secretly inspecting the Fourth and Nine Cities. Who would have thought that he would find out that the Military and Horse Division of the Fifth Cities was secretly making moves, so he hurried over to ask what was going on.

Xie Zhifei didn't want to say anything more, so he simply replied: "I heard that the old censor impeached Yan Ruxian for his involvement in the spring palace fraud. He is not afraid of ten thousand, but just in case."

Bai Yanlin's face showed an indescribable expression.

Xie Zhifei has been under his nose for several years, and he is also a gangster, lazy and a thief.

Why did the chord in my mind become so sharp as soon as I sat in the position of commander-in-chief?

It is indeed necessary to be on guard.

Chunwei is related to the future of every student. Once these people learn that someone is engaging in malpractice for personal gain, they will not cause an uproar.

"My lord, my lord."

Bai Yanlin's personal servant rushed in with sweat on his head: "The Yamen is calling for you to go back immediately."

"what's up?"

"Tell me to enter the palace immediately."

"What are you doing in the palace?" Bai Yanlin stood up nervously.

The boy scratched his head and said, "The young one listened and said that he wanted to help investigate something."

Bai Yanlin hurriedly said to Xie Zhifei: "I'll leave first, you kid, please pay attention to yourself."

"Boss Bai, boss."

Xie Zhifei rushed over, grabbed his arm, and said with a smile: "If you have any news on your end, please pass it on to your brothers. The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division has a reputation, and you, the boss, have a reputation."

"Get away, get away."

Bai Yanlin's face was full of disgust, but her eyes blinked twice quickly.

Xie Zhifei moved his hand upwards, simply hooked Bai Yanlin's shoulder, and kept his voice to a minimum.

"The Yushitai is a Qingshui yamen. As long as I am here, the oil and water in Wucheng can still be regarded as Boss Bai's share."

"You boy!"

You are so good at life, no wonder you can take over my position.

The smile on Bai Yanlin's face almost stopped, "Let's not talk about it for now. I'm going to do some errands."

Not long after he left, Zhu Qing came back in a hurry, walked to Xie Zhifei's side and whispered: "Sir, the news has been sent to Miss Yan."

"What did she say?"

"She immediately asked the third master what his intention was in telling her the news. I shook my head and she let me go."

Xie Zhifei put the two fingers behind his back and gently twisted them a few times.

Telling her the news actually had no intention, it was just his intuition telling him to do so.

"Put a few of my brothers at the gate of the palace and ask them to come back to me if there is any trouble."

"Yes."

Zhu Qing left in a hurry, and Xie Zhifei was the only one left in the huge main hall.

He walked slowly to the threshold and looked up at the sky. At some point, the originally bright autumn sun was shrouded in clouds, and a strong wind blew by, blowing off a dead leaf from a tree.

Xie Zhifei didn't know why, but he always felt a little uneasy, as if something was about to happen.

……

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the morning court was still going on.

Along with the impeachment memorial, there were three large bundles of evidence of Yan Ruxian Chunwei's fraud.

As usual, the people from the Third Division immediately moved to the side hall to investigate the evidence, and then gave the emperor a final conclusion.

However, there was too much evidence and several people could not examine it at all. The Third Division had to apply for a transfer order from the emperor and transfer some personnel from the Third Division.

The emperor opened his mouth, said the word "quasi", and then sat on the dragon chair with his eyes half closed, without any movement.

Under the dragon chair, there are two chairs on the left and right. On the left is Zhao Yanluo, the prince of the East Palace, and on the right is the old censor Lu Shi.

The officials were very hungry, very tired, their feet were sore, their backs ached, but no one dared to utter a word, they could only grit their teeth and hold them straight.

An hour has passed...

Two hours have passed...

Three hours passed... There was no movement in the side hall.

The air was frighteningly tight. Zhao Yishi's eyes turned from the old emperor to the prince, and finally fell on Lu Shi's upright face.

There were two things he couldn't understand. When Lu Shi went to court today, shouldn't he present evidence of Yan Ruxian's adultery in the harem?
Why did it get involved in the Chunwei fraud case again?
This is one of them!

Second.

Why is this Yan Ruxian so capable of reaching the sky with his hands and eyes?
Every three years during the Spring Festival, everyone from the emperor to the common people were watching helplessly. How could he get involved?Will there be anyone else involved?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yishi turned his head a little, and out of the corner of his eye he could just spot Du Jianxue, the Minister of Rites.

At this moment, Du Jianxue's legs were as soft as cotton, and he was sweating hot and cold.

Throughout the ages, Chunwei has been the responsibility of the Ministry of Rites. He has sat in this position for more than three years and personally managed it once.

Ask yourself if you have ever done anything that would be disgraceful to the official title on your head, but you can't guarantee that someone under your command is unclean and will implicate him.

This implication could range from being demoted to being dismissed from office, but what should be done?

Du Jianxue was anxious.

……

The hourglass turned over and over again. Just when the officials were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs and they could hardly hold on even through gritting their teeth, Qin Deshu, the censor on the right side of the censor's platform, hurried into the palace.

"His Majesty."

Qin Deshu bowed and said: "The preliminary inspection by the Third Division has been completed. The evidence presented by Mr. Lu is conclusive. Yan Ruxian has intervened in two spring palaces in the past 20 years. The person who colluded with him internally and externally is Li Xing, the former Minister of Rites."

Emperor Yonghe slapped his palm on the dragon chair, with overwhelming anger on his lips, "Come here, take down Li Xing for me and put him in the capital prison for rigorous interrogation."

"Yes."

It turned out to be Li Xing?
Zhao Yishi said to himself that he had guessed it right. Yan Ruxian alone could not interfere with Chunwei, and there must be someone in charge.

It's just that Li Xing has retired and returned to his hometown. Who will your Majesty hand over this case to?

At this moment, Emperor Yonghe raised his eyebrows and said, "Prince."

Prince Zhao Yanluo immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty."

"This case will be tried by you personally, with the assistance of the Third Division."

Emperor Yonghe stood up slowly and said with a sharp voice: "I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter and give an explanation to all the students in the world."

Zhao Yanluo hurriedly said: "Yes!"

"Where is the Minister of Rites?"

"Your Majesty." Du Jianxue walked out frightened.

Emperor Yonghe did not speak, but looked at Du Jianxue coldly with a pair of tiger eyes. He was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "I will definitely check myself after I go back."

“Self-examination and introspection are not enough.”

Emperor Yonghe's voice was deep: "I will definitely kill a few people to make you fearful and not dare to cause trouble to Chao Gang again."

"I will keep this in mind." Du Jianxue lay on the ground, trembling all over.

"Grandson."

Zhao Yishi took a step forward: "Your Majesty."

Emperor Yonghe's face showed a bit of exhaustion, "You take the old censor out of the palace for me."

Zhao Yishi: "Yes!"

"Where is Jin Yiwei?"

"The minister is here."

"This case will not come to light until the truth is revealed, and the safety of the old censor will be protected."

"The minister obeys the order!"

Emperor Yonghe took a deep look at Lu Shi and said, "My lord, take care of yourself. Our country cannot be without loyal ministers like you."

Lu Shi knelt down on the chair and replied loudly: "My lord, I am willing to serve your majesty till my death."

"Good, good, good!"

Emperor Yonghe said three good words in a row and walked away.

After a moment, Zhao Yishi weakly supported Lu Shi's arm and slowly walked out of the hall in front of everyone's eyes.

All the civil and military officials looked at the old man with both enthusiasm and fear.

This honor is truly unprecedented, and I don’t know if it will come again in the future.
