high official

Chapter 880 Please enter the urn
Wang Xian arrived in Jinan in early March and lived in the government envoy's mansion.Of course, the original plaque of the chief envoy has been removed and replaced by the plaque of "Imperial Envoy Xingyuan".

This former chief secretary's yamen is really majestic and eye-opening to Wang Xian. He saw pavilions, terraces, waterside pavilions, resplendent gold and jade, stone bridges, winding paths, and famous flowers.The blue waves are rippling and clear to the bottom, and the pavilions are scattered and reflected in the waves.Sometimes white clouds are lingering, the water is shining below, and the sky is floating up, and the palace is faintly hidden in the smoke, just like a picture, even Penglai in the sky is nothing more than this.

Living in such a fairyland on earth, it is really strange to experience the suffering of the people...

Wang Xian lived in it for half a month, and he didn't summon the three senior officials. He seemed to be indulging in the beauty of the spring, intoxicated by the gentle hometown of his aunt on Mount Tai. During the celebration of palmistry, Jin Yiwei suddenly came over to send a message, asking the three senior officials to come over to talk.

The three of them hurriedly changed into the official residence and rushed to the gate of Xingyuan. At that time, they were still in a relaxed mood. They clasped their fists and saluted each other. Liu Ben asked with a smile: "Master Imperial Envoy finally remembered us."

"I guess he was squeezed dry by Aunt Taishan," Ma Zhong said with a smug smile, "Let's take a break from business."

"Well," Chu Yan smiled, and said softly, "Let's go in quickly." In the eyes of the three, they had completely settled Wang Xian, and from then on, everyone was their own, and there was nothing to worry about.

The three adults walked into the garden talking and laughing. At this time, in March in Yangchun, hundreds of flowers are blooming, the fragrance of flowers is strong, and the overflowing spring pool makes the courtyard beautiful like a fairyland. It is really a wise move to give it up to the imperial envoy."

"Hehe..." Chu Yan twitched the corners of his mouth with some heartache. His current temporary office is narrow and cramped, because he still has the idea of ​​moving back here, so he has no intention of expanding and decorating, just making do with it.As in the usual fairy-like days, it is naturally heaven and earth, and the wives and concubines at home also have a lot of annoying words, which makes Chu Fantai very unhappy.But thinking of being able to build a good relationship with the imperial envoy, he felt that these sacrifices were worth it.

While talking, the three of them were led to an elegant courtyard by Jin Yiwei. On the moon gate hole in the courtyard, there were three ancient seal script characters 'Pearl Spring' written on it.Jinan claims to have 72 famous springs, and this Pearl Spring is the third one. It is surrounded by snowflake stone railings, willows hang down on the bank, and the spring water is as clear as blue. Thousands of pearls, blurred and moving.

There are four sandalwood tables and chairs beside the spring. On the table are exquisite refreshments and a stack of papers, which must be poetry or something.

Wang Xian was dressed in purple and stood beside the stone railing to enjoy the spring. His hair was not tied in a bun, but simply tied behind his head with a silk ribbon. The spring breeze blew slightly, his black hair fluttered, and his expression was indescribably chic.

Seeing Wang Xian like this, the three officials secretly laughed. They still hadn't forgotten Wang Xian's vulgar look when they were in Dezhou. They didn't expect that when they came to Jinan and lived in this garden, they became arty.

"Master Imperial Envoy..." Naturally, the three officials still looked respectful on the surface, quietly standing behind Wang Xian, waiting for him to turn his head, and hurriedly saluted together.

"Ehuang Nvying's tears turned into pearls and clear spring water." Wang Xian smiled at them, and asked the three to sit by the spring: "This spring is really a blessing from heaven and earth."

"Hehe, yes!" Liu Ben laughed hurriedly: "This Pearl Spring is the most noble among the 72 springs, and it has always been owned by No. 1 in Jinan City."

"Yes, yes." Chu Yan and Chu Yan also agreed with a smile.

"I'm really sorry to let the masters of Fantai give up their love." Wang Xian also sat down and poured tea for the three dignitaries himself. In order to thank you, let's drink tea and appreciate the spring together, isn't it a joy?"

Seeing that they had guessed correctly, the three of them relaxed completely, flattered and flattered Wang Xian, and made Wang Xian laugh out loud. The atmosphere was harmonious.After a while, they called each other brothers and spoke freely.

"My lord," Ma Zhong asked winkingly, "Are those... still satisfied?"

"Satisfied and satisfied!" Wang Xian nodded with a smile and said, "Aunt Taishan lives up to her reputation, she is really very beautiful! The ancients have poems to praise!"

"What poem?" The three adults hurriedly asked.

"The bright moon shines among the pines, and the clear spring rocks flow up!" Wang Xian's smile is very sweet.

"Expert!" Apparently, the three adults were all experienced people. They were taken aback for a moment, and then understood. They all laughed and raised their thumbs up, expressing their high agreement with Wang Xian's evaluation. "My lord is indeed an expert!"

"To each other." Wang Xian had a smile on his face, but the corners of his mouth twitched. He didn't taste any of those charming Taishan aunts, and Ling Xiao sent them all to other courtyards.Fortunately, I met Zhang Xiang when I was in Taiyuan, otherwise I would have missed the timidity at this moment.

The four men were exchanging ideas, when Zhou Yong came over, whispered a few words in Wang Xian's ear.Wang Xian said with a helpless expression: "Those little ladies can't leave me for a moment. I'll go and appease you first. Brothers, please do whatever you want."

"Oh my lord, go quickly," Chu Yan was also a fearful person, and he understood very well.Although Liu Ben and Ma Zhong secretly laughed at Wang Xian's worthlessness, he would not show it.

"Then I'll go and come back." After Wang Xian finished speaking, he left in a hurry.Zhou Yong also left, and for a while, there were only Chu Yan and three people left beside the Pearl Spring.

The three of them were extremely relaxed at the moment, they looked at each other and smiled, tacit understanding.Then I drank tea, admired the spring, and waited for the imperial envoy to come out.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew the stack of papers on the table to the ground. Ma Zhong and Liu Ben hurriedly got up to pick them up.Fortunately, the wind wasn't too strong, and it didn't blow too far, so the two picked up a pile and got up after a while.Naturally, they all glanced at the paper, wanting to see what kind of amazing masterpiece the imperial envoy of "Mingyue Songjian, Qingquanshi Shangliu" has.

From this point of view, it doesn't matter, the two of them froze there as if they had been immobilized.

Chu Yan was the oldest and had the highest status. He didn't get up just now, but was still sitting there, sipping tea unhurriedly. Seeing the two of them dumbfounded, he couldn't help asking curiously: "What is the imperial envoy's amazing work that makes the two of you so intoxicated?" forget me?"

"..." Ma Zhong's forehead was dripping with cold sweat, and Liu Ben's old face was ashen. The two of them ignored Chu Yan at all, and when he came back to their senses, they tremblingly turned the pages to read the following content.The more the two looked, the more panicked they became, as if what they were holding was not paper, but a red-hot iron sheet!
Chu Yan also sensed something was wrong, quickly picked up the remaining few on the table, took a look, and was stunned!It's not poetry at all, but Jin Yiwei's detective report!

The target of the investigation in the few pages he took was Ma Zhong, the commander of the Shandong Capital, and the content of the investigation was Ma Zhong's behavior of eating empty salary and drinking the blood of soldiers since he took office!It has been clearly verified that the actual number of staff in the Nine Guards and Ten Institutes under the command and envoy of Shandong is only half of the registered soldiers!And the actual number of each guard is clearly stated!
Today, Emperor Yongle attaches the most importance to the army!If the emperor saw this thing, Ma Zhong would definitely be torn to pieces and fed to the dogs!
Chu Yan slowly raised his head, shook the paper in his hand to Ma Zhong, and said in a low voice, "You are confused!" There was a lot of anger in his tone, and he wanted to draw a line with him.

"Fantai is not much better..." Ma Zhong handed the paper in his hand to Chu Yan, and at the same time went to take the paper in his hand.Chu Yan only looked at the paper that Ma Zhong gave him, and handed it to him without thinking.

After reading the paper, Chu Yan's legs softened, and he sat down on the chair, closed his eyes in despair and said, "It's over, it's over..." He saw on the paper, it was also Jin Yiwei's detective report, but the target was changed to In addition to himself, the charges have become five or six such as embezzlement of the treasury, concealment of taxes and grain, and embezzlement of official silver. Each of them is described in great detail.

After reading the few pages in his hand, Ma Zhong shook his head and sighed, then looked at Liu Ben and said, "My lord, what crime are you charged with?"

Chu Yan also turned his attention to Liu Ben, waiting for his answer.But Liu Ben stuffed the papers into his sleeve, and said with a wry smile, "It's fine if you don't say it..." Since he was lucky enough to pick up his share, of course he wouldn't be so stupid as to make it public.

But even if he didn't say it, Chu Yan and Ma Zhong knew that this guy was pinched to death.The three of them sat down in a slumped manner, without the slightest sense of leisure, and only then did they realize that Wang Xian was trying to numb them if he didn't tell them before, and he was secretly collecting criminal evidence!
The three of them were immersed in the fright that Wang Xian brought them. For a while, everyone sat in silence, not knowing what to do.If this criminal evidence was in the hands of others, they would not have panicked like this.After all, they are all officials of a province. Who doesn't have a strong relationship with the court?Even if the criminal evidence reaches the Metropolitan Procuratorate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, they can find a way to suppress it, nothing more than bleeding more.

But the evidence of this crime is in the hands of Jin Yiwei!If Wang Xian insisted on dealing with them, they would have no choice but to die!Thinking of the horror of Jinyiwei's Imperial Prison, the three senior officials couldn't help trembling and sweating profusely...

"What are you doing?" A voice suddenly sounded, causing the three of them to tremble violently, Chu Yan jumped up and sat down on the ground.The three of them hurriedly turned their heads and saw that Wang Xian had appeared behind them without knowing when.

"Oh, Mr. Chu, I'm so sorry," Wang Xian helped Chu Yan up with an apologetic face, patted the dirt on his buttocks, and said with a smile: "I just wanted to make a joke with the three of you, but it scared the three of you, it's really inappropriate son."

"Hehe, where is it..." Chu Yan and the three hurriedly squeezed out a smile, but that smile was uglier than crying.At this point, if the three of them regard Wang Xian as a vulgar person talking nonsense, they are not worthy of being human.I don't know that this guy Wang Xian, every sentence is insinuating!They clearly set up a good game today, please enter the urn!
