Idle courtiers

Chapter 493

Zhou Nan: "The first assistant is worried about Mr. Gao Ge's investigation, but he diverted the disaster to the east and burned it on your old man's head. Let us make something out of nothing and catch the wind?"

Yes, that was the case with the Kongming case last time. It was clearly Chen Hong and Zhu Xizhong who made a game to bring Xu Jie down.If Gao Gong intends to use this case to make trouble this time, he can't guarantee it!
Xu Jie stroked his beard: "You have to be careful, who can explain clearly what happened in the court! There are many things, but in the end there is an unexpected big turn. The board is hanging high in the sky, and no one knows if it will happen before it falls. Hit yourself. The power of this board is that when it does not fall, everyone is in danger."

Zhou Nan's heart moved: "This case won't be related to Shoufu, right?" As soon as the words came out, he realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and said: "Shoufu, please forgive the rudeness of the younger generation, the old man will never do such a thing .”

Yes, he is now the chief think tank of Xu Jie, the standard-bearer of the Xu family in the future, and has now fully intervened in the resources of the Xu family.

He is very clear about Xu Jie's financial resources. They are all in the south of the Yangtze River. Relying on the land output in Songjiang and the circulation of materials from Huguang to Nanjing, this is enough for him to make a lot of money. The business in the capital is too muddy. The head is not interested in making trouble for himself.

Xu Jie smiled: "Zimu, even the business of cleaning and transporting excrement is also done, and the movement is quite loud, so it's really not particular. Ordinarily, the excrement company took over this business, which can be regarded as sharing the worries of the government, which is a great good thing. Bad The bad thing is that the dealers maliciously drove up the market price, which made the capital stink in the hot weather, and the people were very angry. The local government did not deal with this matter, so it must be in collusion with him. Maybe there is really a big person in it The host later, who is this person, the old man is a little interested."

Hearing what he said, Zhou Nan was startled: "What the chief means is that there are really people behind the scenes to make a profit from this matter, and the money earned is too unnatural!"

Xu Jie nodded slowly: "Don't underestimate this business. With such a large population in the capital, the annual net profit of cleaning human and livestock excrement alone is tens of thousands of taels. Someone will definitely be tempted. Moreover, where in the capital are there so many adults and so many government offices? , the person who can take over this business must have status, so we have to investigate. Zimu, you are in charge of this case, so you have to think more about it."

At first, Zhou Nan originally bullied and dominated the city because it was just a black society, and swept away these social dregs, and sentenced them to the criminals, and sent a few local officials who colluded with the gangsters to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and let it go.Now it seems that it might involve big shots.

He said: "Thank you for your guidance, what should this matter be according to elder Ge?"

Xu Jie thought for a while: "Those who only do business and excrement business, don't get involved too much. In addition, the old man will ask Ke Dao to impeach the two counties of Daxing and Wanping in the capital city and Shuntian Mansion, and order him to clean up the streets as soon as possible. Gyeonggi has become tidy and tidy to the satisfaction of the people.”

This matter should be made into a small matter, and a small matter should be reduced.Zhou Nan understood what Xu Jie meant. He didn't want to make extra troubles and make enemies for the Xu family.

Zhou Nan: "Elder Ge reminded me that the officials understand and know what to do." Now that he passed the case and returned to the emperor's side smoothly, his goal has been achieved, and he doesn't want to find trouble for himself: "I'm just afraid that the tree will want to be quiet and the wind will not stop. , Gao Ge is old and refuses to obey, and the lower officials have nothing to do."

In the group of three, Zhou Nan is a carefree faction, spending all his time with the emperor.Zhu Lun is a man of action, taking people to the streets to catch hooligans every day, interrogating cases, he is so busy that he hardly sees people.Elder Gao Ge has the final say on matters in the group, Zhou Nan and him just maintain basic politeness and don't talk much on weekdays.

People's hearts are separated by belly, and the ghost knows what Gao Gong wants to do.

While talking, a clerk came over and said, "Editor Zhou, Mr. Gao Ge has come to Xiyuan. If you have anything to do, please go over and discuss it."

Zhou Nan smiled and said to Xu Jie: "Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will be there."

Arriving at Gao Gong's house, the old man Gao Ge reprimanded Zhou Nan: "Editor Zhou, these few days you stay in Xiyuan, in front of the emperor, and don't care about anything. What do you want to do? I'm waiting to investigate the Wanping case, but I didn't ask you to invite pets. After all, you are also a detective of Jinke, and this is how you set an example for the world's scholars?"

This was purely losing face, Zhou Nan was extremely angry, and wondered what the hell this Gao was getting angry at.

He tried his best to calm himself down and asked, "Ge Lao, what happened?"

The high-arched beard was trembling, obviously anxious: "I heard that Zhu Lun entered Xiyuan just now."

Zhou Nan: "Zhu Zhenfu has entered Xiyuan, why didn't I see it?"

Gao Gong sneered and said, "I'm going to meet the saint directly, Mr. Zhou, you live such a happy life, so naturally you can't see it."

Zhou Nan seemed to realize something, and whispered: "Xiao Zhu went to see His Majesty, did he find something, but he didn't want us to know, and wanted to get ahead of Mr. Gao Ge and the next official?"

Gao Gong nodded solemnly.

Zhou Nan: "Hurry up, Mr. Ge, let's go to Yuxi Palace."

Yes, Xu Jie's premonition probably came true, and this case might really involve some big shots.This is a great achievement, and Zhu Lun naturally has to ask for credit first.

When he did this, it seemed that he and Gao Gong were incompetent.

Zhou Nan was very angry: Xiao Zhu, Xiao Zhu, I never thought that you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would have such a flirtatious heart.

When it was the most troublesome time, he didn't inform everyone in advance, and now Zhou Nan and Gao Gong don't know what big shots will be involved.If two people and the forces behind it were involved, there would be no time to deal with it.

The two rushed over in a hurry, and as soon as they entered the Jiajing Abode of Yuxi Palace, they felt the atmosphere in the room was dignified.

There were only three people in the abode, Jiajing was still sitting cross-legged on the futon with his eyes slightly closed, while Huang Jin waited beside the emperor with a sad face.

As for Zhu Lun, he was kneeling on the ground at this moment, sweat the size of soybeans fell onto his forehead one by one, and the gold brick in front of him was already wet.

Zhou Nan and Gao Gong: "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Jiajing slowly opened his eyes when he heard the sound, but ignored Zhou and Gao, and objected to Zhu Lun: "Very good, you are very good, I need someone like you who is willing to tell the truth and dare to tell the truth. You don't have to be afraid, I It will not let the loyal ministers die. You stand up."

Zhu Lun: "Long live thanks." He stood up with difficulty, but his legs trembled slightly.

After finishing speaking, Jiajing cast his eyes sharply on Gao Gong's face: "Old Gao Ge, how is the investigation going?"

Gao Gong felt bored, Zhu Lun leapfrogged the report, obviously he had already got the evidence, and the case was cleared up, but the emperor asked the old man, isn't this burying me: "The minister is working on it."

"The high cabinet is always a bright mirror!" Jiajing said sarcastically, "I ask you, what is the duty of the cabinet?"

When everyone wanted to talk about the case, they just talked about the case, and what the cabinet was doing, Gao Gong felt depressed and gritted his teeth and refused to answer.

Jiajing: "Gao Gong, whether you don't want to answer or don't know, I will tell you today. The cabinet is in charge of the country's center, accepting my wishes from above, and leading all officials below. Fang lived up to the trust of the community. Do you understand?"

This is a severe accusation, Gao Gong has a bad temper, and he still gritted his teeth.

Seeing him suffocating, Zhou Nan was delighted, but also puzzled, what did the emperor want to say?
"You don't understand? You understand very well." Jiajing continued: "I said before that there are not a few bricks or tiles in this Yuxi Palace. But someone is impatient to reach out, Zhu Lun, tell us what you have found, this high-ranking minister."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhu Lun said tremblingly, "Old Gaoge, according to my investigation, Bai, the magistrate of Wanping County, is a member of Prince Yu's residence. In March, Bai sent his daughter to the palace as a maid, and won the favor of the prince. I have obtained the imperial edict and entered the palace. All the income from the manure shop and the fight shop have been used by the palace."

"What!" Not only did he arch high, even Zhou Nan's hair stood on end.

Jiajing finally roared, and shouted sharply: "I really didn't expect King Yu to have so many talents, 3000 people, this is 3000 people, all of them are brave and ruthless. Gao Xiang, you are Teacher Yuwang, you teach What a good student?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Gao Gong knelt down, tears streaming down his face.

Jiajing: "Don't cry here, I still want to cry! Go down, go to the palace immediately, and let your student study hard."

He said to Zhou Nan again: "Zhou Nan, draw up three orders."

Zhou Nan: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Jiajing: "The first way is that Bai, the magistrate of Wanping County, harbored dead men and conspired against him, so he beheaded and abandoned the city. Every lawbreaker in the capital was punished, and nine sides were assigned as armored slaves. As for Bai's daughter, Fu Fujiao Fangji."

"The second way is to the Qing History Department of the Ministry of Etiquette and hold relevant officials accountable."

"The third one was sent to King Jing, saying that I miss him. Order him to start from Hubei this winter solstice, and must arrive in the capital before the New Year's Eve to participate in the Taimiao sacrificial ceremony."

"Your Majesty!" Gao Gong finally burst into tears.

Zhou Nan was sweating all over his body. He just felt that the pen in his hand weighed more than a thousand catties, and how could he keep it down.

Seeing Zhou Nan not moving, Jiajing shouted sharply, "Why, don't you want to write?"

Zhou Nan remained silent, writing this down would be completely politically incorrect.

Jiajing pointed at Zhou Nan and Gao Gong: "Get these two out of here."

After leaving Yuxi Palace, Zhou Nan and Gao Gong looked at each other silently.

At this time, Zhu Lun walked out with a serious face.

The sharp eyes of the two saw ink stains on the first joint of the middle finger of his right hand. It was obvious that he had written an imperial edict for the emperor.

Zhu Lun: "Old Gaoge, what is the duty, I'm the next official..."

Gao Gong interrupted him, and said coldly: "Zhu Zhenfu is so scheming, I admire him."

Zhu Lun's face was flushed red: "Old Man Ge, this is the duty of a subordinate official, and my brocade-clothed army has the right to perform privately."

Gao Gong: "Jin Yi is close to the army, Jin Yi is close to the army, hehe, Mr. Zhu, I would like to ask you why you did this? Look, look, the tiger came out of the scorpion, the situation is going to be chaotic, what will happen to you in the future?" At the end, what will happen to you?"

　Ask for recommendation vote support, thank you!
