high official

Chapter 207 Zhou Niantai's Determination
Not seen for several months, Zhou Xin's cold and thin face looked a little thin and haggard. He sat in front of the big case in the signing room, looked at Wang Xian who was sitting at the head, and remained silent for a long time.

After Zhou Tai served tea to Wang Xian, he left silently with the tray in his hand. The signing room was guarded by them, and the people inside just talked casually.

"Thank you for saving me, and Lingxiao and Xianyun brothers and sisters for supporting me. Zhang Qian brought people to arrive in time, so I can come to see you." In terms of emotion and reason, Wang Xian must first thank him.

"You don't need to thank me. When I received the news, it was already too late to send someone there. Fortunately, you have formed a good relationship with Xianyun brother and sister, so you won't be caught without a fight..." Zhou Xin said frankly: "Is your family okay? "

Wang Xian said softly: "Others are fine, but Erhei was injured and may need to recuperate for a while."

"Of course no problem." Zhou Xin nodded, accepted Erhei's leave, and sighed softly: "Be careful in the future, if you are targeted by those people, you won't end up like this." He sighed again. He said: "Those people are extremely cruel. If they catch them, they will be tortured to death within an hour or three quarters. Even if I go there myself, there will be no time to rescue them."

"..." Wang Xian's heart was filled with chills, and he said in a low voice, "Could it be that ordinary people can't cure them?"

"It can't be cured." Zhou Xin said with a stern face and a hoarse voice: "Although Jin Yiwei Xu Qianhu is only a fifth-rank military officer, he is the confidant of Jin Yiwei Commander Ji Gang. It depends on the owner to beat a dog. Who in this world dares to beat a dog?" Offend Ji Gang?" After a pause, he said without concealing his weakness: "Although I am a third-rank Daxian, even if I am as fierce as Ji Gang, I can't do it directly, but Emperor Yongle regards him as a confidant, and if he wants to frame anyone People, as long as they file a lawsuit in front of the emperor, they can easily achieve their goals. Even the court officials have to give way to three points, so what can I, a small judge like Zhou do, do to them?"

"Naitai..." Wang Xian looked at Zhou Xin with a pale face. He came here this time because he actually regarded Zhou Xin as a life-saving straw. If Zhou Xintai seemed very kind, he would not be able to save himself.Could it be possible to count on a cunning Hu Yan like an old fox?He really regretted that he didn't know the identity of the black boy at the beginning, and now even if he went to the doctor in a hurry, he couldn't find the temple door.

Although the courage of an ordinary man can penetrate the sun and the moon, Wang Xian is not an ordinary man, he still has his parents and family to protect him.For him, courage comes from strength. Jin Yiwei squeezed himself to death, just like squeezing an ant to death. At this time, it is useless to use all kinds of tricks and courage. You can only find a way to borrow strength to rival Jin Yiwei. Strength is the qualification to fight with others.

In Wang Xian's view, Zhou Xin is the only choice in terms of emotion and reason.In terms of love, Zhou Xin once taught earnestly by the Puyang River, obviously he valued himself.Yu Li, Zhou Xin is the Prosecutor of Zhejiang Province, and now all the officials and people in the province are looking forward to him to solve the problem...

But who would have expected that a basin of cold water would pour over Zhou Xin's head, which made Wang Xian's heart feel cold.If even Tiehan, who is said to be the coldest and hardest in the world, had to shy away from Jin Yiwei, the world is so big that there really is no room for him.But after calming down and thinking about it, it must not be the case, otherwise why did Zhou Xin ask him to come?Just tell yourself to be careful in the future?Then he is a majestic inspector, he is really full.

After a moment of trembling in his heart, Wang Xian's face returned to blood, and he sneered lightly: "It's not true what I say in Taiwan."

"How?" Zhou Xin said calmly.

"I think at the beginning, by the Puyang River, the native Taiwan taught his subordinates, and the words were convincing, as if they were in my ears." Wang Xian said in a deep voice: "I don't believe that a man who upholds the principle of 'the people are the most important, the community is second, and the king is the king' is the most important thing." Light' sub-sage believers will be afraid of an emperor's vicious dog!"

Zhou News said that he stared at Wang Xian with lightning-like eyes, and he did not hide the admiration in his eyes. He was completely convinced that he saw the right person. This Wang Xian was the one worthy of entrusting great things.During this period of time, I don't know how many people have been talking behind his back, saying that he is a "cold face and cold iron" in name only, and he only picks up soft persimmons. Although he can't shake his will, it will always make people feel depressed.

Now hearing what Wang Xian said hit his heart, Zhou Nietai felt a strong sense of bosom friend, but there was still no trace of a smile on his face like ice that would not melt for thousands of years: "The emperor's vicious dog, Zhong De's words are not true. OK..."

"In the first place," Wang Xian said coldly, "that Ji Gang has a reputation for viciousness, and I have even heard of his evil deeds when I was in the countryside. The current emperor is in the prime of life, wise and powerful, and has the ability to discern every detail. Such a person is close by. How could you not have noticed?!"

"Nonsense!" Zhou Xin hurriedly stopped in a low voice: "Of course your Majesty was deceived. Don't split up the words of the sages. To put it completely, Mencius's words are 'seeing the end of the autumn without seeing the public's salary', the so-called I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, but I’m only in this mountain!”

"Don't be angry, my lord. I'm just discussing the matter." Wang Xian said in a deep voice without paying attention: "The crux of the disaster in Zhejiang this time is not on Jin Yiwei. It is the current Emperor Yongle who deeply hates Zhejiang officials and people who hide Jianwen and deceive the court, so Jin Yiwei will come to investigate! As for their cruel methods, I am afraid Ji Gang only needs to say that the people of Zhejiang are tough, otherwise it is not enough to shock people. Emperor Yongle will not pursue it."

"Shut up!" Seeing that the boy's words became more and more outrageous, Zhou Xin suddenly changed his face and said, "It's a rebellion to pretend to be a Sacred Heart! If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being merciless!"

"Didn't your lord say that the people are more important than the king?" Wang Xian frowned.

"Then you can't criticize your majesty. This time, there are treacherous ministers in the court, and all the mistakes are the fault of Ji Gang," Zhou Xin said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is very fond of nostalgia, when Ji Gang went to him when he was most in danger. Now, he used to be loyal and made a lot of contributions, so the emperor naturally favored him. Who knew that instead of repaying him, he took advantage of the emperor's trust to bully all officials, deceive the saints, act recklessly, and be full of evil!" He cupped his fist toward the north and said, "Get rid of this treacherous sycophant, and the emperor's holy name is the duty of a subject!"

"Your subordinate... has been taught." Wang Xian could only nod his head.But he sighed in his heart, the truth is actually very simple, but the limitations of the times are here, even if Zhou Xin believes in the more radical sub-sage theory, he still insists that the emperor is not wrong, the fault is all the ministers' fault!

Maybe it's not that Zhou Xin doesn't know, he just can't admit it, because the world is the greatest truth in the world, and once he thinks that the king is wrong, his faith will collapse...

Only a heterogeneous species like Wang Xian would not take the emperor and imperial power seriously.

.

"What do you mean, my lord?" Wang Xian was a little confused by this self-contradictory Zhou Jiantai, so it's better to ask directly: "To care or not?"

"Of course we have to take care of it!" Zhou Xin said decisively: "Although Jin Yiwei is pretending to be the name of the emperor and is rampant, how can the court's laws be lightly abolished? Why don't the people ask for help? If we don't bring these villains to justice What's the use of me being a majestic procurator?!" He showed Wang Xian the thick stack of pleadings, "These victimized people risked a sea of ​​blood to throw the pleadings, can I turn a deaf ear to it? As the saying goes, 'in the position, seek the cause', since the emperor has entrusted me with the punishment of a provincial prison, how can I not be the master of the people and relieve the people from hanging?!"

Listening to Zhou Nietai's reassuring words, Wang Xian realized in his heart that in fact, Lao Zhou understood everything, but there were some things he couldn't say clearly.Everyone knows it well but doesn't point it out, that's the way to talk about this kind of taboo topic. I'm still too reckless, I have to change it, I have to change it!

With a flash of thought, he was also excited, stood up and cupped his fists and said: "This subordinate is willing to help you!" Helping others is helping oneself, sincerely.

"I want Zhongde to help me!" Zhou Xin's eyes were shining with wisdom. The in-depth conversation by the Puyang River last year was the foreshadowing for today!

Zhou Xin claims to be discerning, so he naturally knows that the death row prisoner He Chang has turned into a Jinyiwei!He was extremely shocked by this, because it not only showed that there were serious loopholes in the management of the Prison, but also a blatant contempt for the laws of the state!

But when Zhou Xin found out about this, He Chang had already become the son-in-law of Lord Dragon. He naturally guessed that Wang Xian did it. After all, in Fuyang County, there were only a few people who had the ability and motivation to do it, and Wang Xian was the most suspect. one.But he didn't pursue it, because Jin Yiwei itself is a monster independent of the judiciary and is not bound by the law at all. If Wang Xian doesn't kill He Chang, He Chang will definitely put him to death.People can't be caught without a fight, it's understandable to kill for self-protection.

At that time, Zhou Xin thought that since Zhu Jiuye did not pursue the matter anymore, the matter would be over.After all, Jinyiwei has no organization in Zhejiang, and it is impossible to send people down to investigate the death of a Xiaoqi.Who would have thought that the world is unpredictable, the net in Pujiang County did not catch Jian Wenjun, but instead gave Jin Yiwei an excuse to meddle in Zhejiang.

At that time, Zhou Xin realized that Jin Yiwei would definitely find trouble with Wang Xian, because it can be said that there are almost no people in the world who dare to attack Jin Yiwei. Then the person who saved He Chang at the beginning must have regarded Wang Xian's provocation as a great shame. Only by crushing him to ashes can he relieve the hatred in his heart.

Now that he understands where the enemy must attack, Zhou Xin can naturally follow his plan, dig a trap and wait for them to jump.

"Dare to ask my lord, what do you want me to do?" Wang Xian asked in a deep voice.

"Come here with Zhong De's ear," Zhou Xin lowered his voice, and gave orders, and finally said: "It will take some time for this matter to be brewed. You can just take the college entrance examination first. It is still very useful to have a reputation as a scholar."

"Yes." Wang Xian nodded, and responded blankly, but he was inevitably depressed in his heart. How could he be used as a bait again? Can't you change me to a new job? "

　Sorry, I haven't gone out for a few days. I have accumulated some things today and I have to go out to deal with them. It will affect my state when I come back. I have only finished writing a chapter until now. I will go back to normal tomorrow.
