Touring the Ming Dynasty

"The collusion between officials and businessmen is really terrible!" Su Rong shook her folding fan to sum up the relationship between the two. Duan Fei glared at her and said, "I didn't use my power to make money for him, how can this be considered a relationship?" What about collusion between officials and businessmen? Don't talk nonsense."

Su Rong said with a smile: "Yes, my lord is right, the kid is talking nonsense, my lord should not be offended, but... my lord, as a master, I have to share my worries and worries for my lord. Have you forgotten the humiliation of being expelled from Nanjing?" Is it okay? Although it is said that it is because of someone's interference, if my lord has no pain points for them to handle, I am afraid they will not be so convenient? My lord will have a prosperous official career in the future, so you need to be cautious in your daily actions."

Duan Fei looked at her solemn appearance, and said with a smile: "Well, it is indeed a bit of a master, and I am also worried about what you said, otherwise why not let him buy all the 23 houses? If this kind of thing happened in Hongwu I am afraid that I have already been impeached and dismissed from office or even flayed and filled with grass. Zhengde Dynasty... In my opinion, these small details are just a disguise for self-protection. When the water is clear, there will be no fish, as long as it is not done too much , the colleagues around you will regard you as a fellow traveler, and the money they take to pave the road will not worry that you are corrupt. He has a royal background, you should have some understanding of today's character, what he hates is those big things, not these little things."

"Your Excellency is wise. If the water is clear, there will be no fish. Su Rong has been taught." Surprise flashed in Su Rong's eyes, and she clasped her fists at Duan Fei solemnly and said, "My lord, why don't you explain the difficulties you encountered today to Su Rong?" What? Su Rong should make preparations early, so as not to suddenly see his hands and feet messed up tomorrow."

"Well, Mr. Tang, you can also help me with the details. I am also like a headless chicken. If you have done something wrong, please tell me directly. Just like Master Su Rong Su just now, a good official is a good official who can obey his advice Ah!" Duan Fei immediately talked to everyone about some difficult problems encountered today.

Tang Bohu is well-informed, and most of the suggestions he put forward are very pertinent. Su Rong's words are sharp, and she is very familiar with the laws of the Ming Dynasty and official customs. Guo Wei interjected from time to time, they listened to and commented on things that Duan Fei didn't know, and Duan Fei's heart suddenly became clear. Three cobblers were better than Zhuge Liang, and now he has five cobblers to help, so what else is there to worry about? ?

After a full meal, Huang Suliang ignored the darkness and went to buy a house with the silver ticket. Duan Fei and the others started playing double button again.

In the early morning of the second day, Duan Fei brought Shi Bin, Guo Wei, and Su Rong, who looked like a young scholar, into the Yachasi Yamen. After Su Rong was well-dressed, there was no trace of rouge on his body, and even his complexion seemed to have darkened a lot. , looks like a thin little book boy, the feeling of being so handsome last night is much less, even Duan Fei can hardly tell that he is a woman.

The two yamen servants standing guard at the gate recognized Duan Fei, the new boss, and they went up to strike up a conversation, and Duan Fei each stuffed five taels of silver into their hands.

"This is my new master, Su Rong. You can call him Master Su. If he has official business in the future, please allow me to let you go." Duan Fei introduced to them.

"Master Su is good, Master Su is really young and handsome, Mr. Duan has good eyesight!" The two yamen servants greeted Su Rong with a smile. For this reason, the so-called good eyesight is an understatement. Seeing their obsessed looks, Duan Fei really wanted to give them a slap in the face.

He glanced at Su Rong, and there was a message in his eyes: "Look, someone will misunderstand right away."

Su Rong immediately gave him a look back: "That's very kind, I'm afraid they won't misunderstand."

Su Rong stooped to be Duan Fei's maid in order to avoid adulterers, and if she was misunderstood as a young gentleman, it would be considered wrong. Duan Fei shook his head, leaving her alone, since he is a man anyway, so it doesn't matter.

After Duan Fei entered the yamen, he went to the warehouse to get the official uniforms for everyone, and then asked the yamen servants to move two sets of tables and chairs to his office. Master Su has to work, Shi Bin and Guo Wei, if there is nothing to do, give them Lie on the table and fall asleep.

Duan Fei changed into a fifth-rank official uniform, wearing black gauze on his head, an embroidered blue robe, a white pheasant embroidered on the patch on his chest, black-faced boots on his feet, a handsome young official with a playful smile Immediately appeared in front of everyone.

"Brother Fei, why didn't I see it before, you don't look bad." Shi Bin said with a smile, playing with the wings on Duan Fei's black gauze hat.

"Being crowned with a monkey, what's the air?" A strange look flashed in Su Rong's eyes, and she hit Duan Fei unceremoniously, urging: "Stop showing off, and go to work quickly. Laziness of the day!"

"Jealous, I don't care about it." Duan Fei said triumphantly, shaking his head, he went to his desk and said, "Stop gossip, work has started!"

Su Rong glared at him, picked up a stack of official documents and walked to the teacher's seat less than a meter away, opened the file, and started to work.

Su Rong said that she often watched from the sidelines when her father was an official, so she was very good at handling these official documents. Duan Fei was skeptical, but it turned out that Su Rong was more suitable for this kind of paperwork than him. After one pass, they were sorted and put aside, and those that looked easier to handle were taken to Duan Fei, and then they were sorted in a stack. In less than an hour, they went through the piles of files on the desk, and Duan Fei also put them together. The more manageable files were almost done.

After an in-depth discussion with Su Rong and Tang Bohu last night, Duan Fei finally strengthened his determination. Being an official to benefit one party is not as simple as just talking casually. As the highest decision-making officer of the prison, he has to do things well. As long as the confirmation is correct, there is no need to hesitate.

Then there are some doubtful cases, such as improper sentencing or imperfections in the case. At this time, Su Rong and Duan Fei will analyze each case in detail, and the sentence will be changed or retried. Not too late, these cases were settled within two days. Huang Suliang quickly bought three houses, one of which was near the Yamen of the Chasi Yamen, and kept it for his own use. Most of the servants were beaten away, leaving only some honest and honest servants to clean the yard and repair flowers and plants.

There are still a large number of new case files sent to the Judiciary, but with the concerted efforts of Duan Fei and Su Rong, no new backlog has been formed. Duan Fei, who is really difficult to make a decision, asked Mr. Wu and Deputy Shi Ji, but they did not They all reasoned that they were busy with official duties and refused to touch their hands. In the end, there were only five cases that could not be handled. However, any one of these five cases was extremely difficult to handle. Duan Fei was stumped.
