Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 75

It is said that the year is not over until the first lunar month is out. This is a folk saying. There are almost 14 people in the first month of each yamen in the capital.

On the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion was no different from normal times, with officials coming in and out, busy all the time.

As I said before, Shuntian Fu Yin is at the foot of the emperor, the capital, where high-ranking officials and nobles gather, like an angry little daughter-in-law, taking care of all aspects of interests, and can't offend anyone.

Moreover, it may not be a small matter that alarms the government in other places, but if it happens in the capital, it may be a major matter that both the chief inspector and the cabinet will be involved in.

But no matter what, Shuntian Fu Yin is also a majestic third-rank Beijing official, a high-ranking man in a red robe, with real power as high as the sky, and he has to abide by official rules in front of him.

For example, Zou Yi, who is now respectfully standing in the inner hall of Shuntian Mansion, was barely able to sit on the same level when he was the left young supervisor. Now he is the supervisor under the imperial horse supervisor, and his status as a military officer in the inner court has been lowered by one level than before. , coupled with the fact that the civilization of the Ming Dynasty is noble and the military is inferior, there is no reason to sit on an equal footing with the civil servants of the third rank.

In this inner hall, there is Yin Huangsen of Shuntian Mansion sitting at the head seat, and Chen Zhizhong, Chancellor of Shuntian Mansion sitting on the left hand side. In two rows of seats, there are scattered officials and judges.

Although they were sitting and standing, Huang Sen and Chen Zhizhong who were sitting there seemed to be kneeling in front of Zou Yi, and their faces were not very good-looking.

"My lords, our family's visit this time is not for official business, but for Mr. Zhang Cheng, the supervisor of ceremonies, to praise everyone. Wang Tong, the general banner of Jinyi in Nanjie, is upright, loyal to his duties, and treats villains. Never soft-hearted, this is really a role model among Jinyi's pro-army. Shuntian Mansion is the herdsmen's yamen in the most benevolent place, and it should learn a lot from Wang Tong and other models, to serve the Holy Majesty faithfully, and to maintain the safety of the capital."

Fu Yin Huang Sen's jaw seemed to be injured, he nodded stiffly, with a respectful smirk that could be seen at a glance, and replied:
"What Zhang Gonggong said is very true. It's rare that he still remembers our Shuntian Mansion in his busy schedule. It's really inexplicable. Please, Mr. Zou, please bring a reply to Zhang Gonggong for me. The whole Shuntian Mansion will definitely treat the villain The gangsters will never be tolerated, and they will be convicted and sentenced severely."

When Zou Yi heard this, he quickly bowed politely and said with a smile:

"For Mr. Huang's words, the younger one must be brought to Eunuch Zhang. My lords, I still have urgent errands to be busy outside, so I won't bother you. I'll take my leave."

After finishing speaking, he nodded around, turned around and walked out. The people in Shuntian Mansion could still pretend to be high-ranking officials just now. With Zou Yi's nod, many people subconsciously stood up from their chairs and greeted each other respectfully. Only then did I feel that it was wrong, neither standing nor sitting, it was extremely embarrassing.

When Zou Yi left the room, Shuntian Mansion Yin Huangsen's face sank, he looked as if he was thinking about something, but he was actually listening carefully to whether Zou Yi had gone far.

Although what Zou Yi said was high-sounding, the governor Huang Sen and the governor Chen Zhizhong understood what the other party was talking about, but the other officials in the room couldn't figure it out, and everyone asked and communicated with each other in a daze.

"Master Chen, is Master Lu here today?"

The prefect Huang Sen coughed lightly, and asked aloud, a general judge next to him was a little puzzled and said:

"Tai Zun, Lu Wancai is greedy for ink, and has been suspended for participation!"

Fu Cheng Chen Zhizhong knew how to speak immediately, he got up immediately, and said righteously:

"My lord Huang, regarding the case of promoting official Lu Wancai's corruption and dereliction of duty, the humble officials sent people to investigate and found that it was pure nonsense. It should be a villain's slander. My lord, Shuntian Mansion and the capital have a lot of dealings with each other. It is inevitable that there will be colleagues who offend others. If we are not careful Distinguish, if you have wronged your own officials, who will serve you faithfully in the future.”

The eyes of the people in the same room were all wide open. Fu Chan Chen Zhizhong, a local snake who has been sly for so many years, dared to accuse Fu Yin face to face. Unexpectedly, Fu Yin's reaction made them even more confused, and he said with a smile:

"Master Chen, this is the truth, Liu Tongpan, you go to the official Lu Tui's house in person, and tell him about the reinstatement of the official... By the way, there are also those two arrests, what are their names... "

"Wang Si, Li Gui..."

"Yes, yes, let's call them back together quickly. These two people have always been diligent and diligent in their work. I think everyone should be a team leader!!"

The team leader is not an official official, but he is in charge of more than a dozen policemen, which can be regarded as a small promotion. It is a matter decided by Mr. Fu Yin, and there is no conflict or damage with everyone. Naturally, everyone has nothing to say, Qiqi It is indispensable to flatter Taizun Huang to be fair and honest.

The officials in the inner hall got out of the busy one after another, only Huang Sen and Chen Zhizhong were left, they looked at each other, sighed in unison, and the prefect Huang Sen said weakly:
"Why are the people in the palace so elusive and elusive when they do things? They came to say hello earlier, why bother to make this situation... But here is a post from Eunuch Tian, ​​and here is a post from Eunuch Zhang..."

"My lord, Eunuch Tian is just a court eunuch, and that Eunuch Zhang Cheng is today's companion, the eunuch holding pens of the supervisor of ceremonies, and he will not be able to keep his status in the future. I got the job of supervising the army, but I still can only be a messenger, which is more."

Which is more important, the two people who are proficient in the officialdom of the capital have already been separated, Yin Huangsen of Shuntian Mansion thought of the powerful figures who greeted him, and couldn't help but say:

"When the gods fight, those of us who are irrelevant will suffer."

The two sighed in unison, and neither of them said a word. From what these two thought, they had already been involved in the power struggle of the imperial court. , Layers upon layers of imperial examinations, step by step until today, the glory and wealth suddenly flew away, and for a while, I felt ashamed.

The two of them are the principal and deputy of the Shuntian Mansion, sitting in the inner hall, no one dared to disturb them, after about half an hour, a servant outside announced loudly:

"Master Lu Wancai is here."

The door was opened, and Lu Wancai, who was wearing a double-breasted coat, walked in. Just as he was about to bend down to salute, he heard Huang Sen say with a smile:

"Wancai, why are you dressed like a rich man?"

Lu Wan, who was wondering if he was called to the yamen to question the crime, heard this sentence, and then remembered Wang Tong's categorical guarantee yesterday, and suddenly he was relieved, and he also smiled and saluted and replied:

"Let the grand lord laugh at me. I'm usually busy with official duties, so it's rare for me to be free at home. I just dress casually when I'm with my parents, wife and children."

Chen Zhizhong at the side said solemnly:
"Officer Lu Tui, this is your fault. As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, the Tui officer who is in charge of punishment in the Shuntian Mansion and is known as the public security officer, should always put public affairs first. How can he indulge in family relationships and neglect loyalty!"

Lu Wancai's expression froze, and he quickly bowed to apologize, although the accusation was serious, but the meaning behind his words was no longer clear, you are reinstated as a young officer, come to the mansion to be loyal!

Pushing official Lu Wancai was not as surprised as he thought. Instead, he was shocked by Wang Tong's energy. How capable he was, he was able to turn the plate over after the eunuch of the chief of ceremonies handed over the post. By the way, the bet was right.

"Chen Fucheng's words are a bit serious, but it is also reasonable. Officer Lu Tui, you must thoroughly investigate the tragedy on South Street, and you must give justice to the sufferer. You must not slack off. This case is urgent, so hurry up Take off the official uniform and lead the people to investigate the case!!"

Lu Wancai quickly thanked him, his attitude was even more respectful than before, but everyone knew in their hearts that if there were no accidents in this case, after the investigation, no one in Shuntian Mansion would be able to move this official Lu Tui.

When he turned around and was about to go out, a master rushed in from outside, Lu Wancai recognized that this was Huang Sen's confidant, and hurriedly stepped aside.

"Tai Zun, someone from South Street came to the yamen to report the case, saying that He Jinyin was assassinated in the alley..."

The few people in the room, except the one who reported the letter, all took a breath in unison. The matter is really troublesome. The death of He Jinyin does not mean the end of the case.

The suspect is dead, inexplicably dead, it's nothing if a person dies, but how to explain it to the higher ups, especially Zhang Cheng and Zhang Gonggong who sent someone to urge him today.

What's more troublesome is that this means that this matter is not just a casino setting up a scheme to force people to death. Looking at these powerful figures who came to persuade them to do so, you know that this matter is not so simple, and you don't know how deep the water is. What kind of powerful people are involved.

Huang Sen and Chen Zhizhong looked at each other and made a decision in unison:

"Officer Lu Tui, there are other secrets in this case. You must investigate carefully to find out who is trying to kill, whether it is a vendetta or a murder, and investigate to the end."

Lu Wancai's complacent face when he left the house turned into a bitter face at this time, but he could only reflexively salute and accept the order:

"My lords, please don't worry, I will definitely investigate to the end."

The yamen of the ceremonial supervisor in the palace, the bills transferred from the six cabinet ministries, the secret performances to the inner court, and urgent documents from various places are all collected here.

Dozens of young eunuchs kept sorting the documents and submitting them one by one. The eunuch Feng Bao, the chief inspector of ceremonies, usually accompanied Emperor Wanli in the court meetings with the cabinet ministers in the morning, and was here to act as an agent. It was Zhang Cheng, the eunuch of Bingbi, who sat behind the desk, and either approved red or indicated that it needed to be forwarded to the Holy Majesty.

The rest of the accompanying eunuchs were carefully reviewing relatively unimportant documents. Suddenly, the eunuch Zhang Cheng snorted coldly, patted the table, and said slowly:

"Tian An, our Ministry has invaded the frontier fortress, what an urgent report, why are you handing it over now?"

After being scolded like this, Tian An dropped his pen on the table and hurriedly stood up. Before he could explain, Zhang Cheng's words over there had already turned severe:

"You don't do military affairs, but you go to Shuntian Mansion to show your prestige. How did you get this job!!!"
