"Thank you, Prime Minister, and thank you Ding Shuzhi!" Unexpectedly, Ding Wei would stand up and speak for him at a critical moment. Han Qing glanced at this man in surprise, and then bowed sincerely.
"Han Tixing doesn't have to be so polite. Since I was ordered by the officials to be the pacifier of Jingdong East Road, I should protect the people of this area!" Now that he had decided to support Han Qing, Wang Qinruo simply followed through and waved his hand.
, added with a smile. "And I can clearly see whether you do things for public or private reasons!"
"You should be more careful yourself, lest someone fails to push for a sharp increase in food prices and comes up with some new tricks!" Ding Wei reminded him with a smile, tilting his body.
"I understand!" Han Qing understood and nodded gently.
"Did the two idiots who came to your door when you first took office have any results?" Wang Qinruo's voice sounded again, and his words revealed the care of the elders for the younger ones, "No matter how big or small the case is, it is best to
Finish it early. After all, the official's expectation of you is to uncover the real culprit of Zhang Wengong's assassination and to wipe out the Chunyang Sect. There is no need to waste energy on these messy things."
"To be honest with the Prime Minister, the case of those two people has been closed a long time ago. But it was involved in other cases. The subordinate was worried that someone would silence them, so he used a cover-up method and claimed that they had been kept in prison.
Do any interrogation." Han Qing immediately understood what Wang Qinruo meant, thought about it for a while, and then explained with a smile, "My subordinates have also been investigating the assassination of Zhang Wengong and the Chunyang Sect. There are already some clues, but
In order to avoid alerting the public, no action was taken."
"That's good, that's good. If you need me to send people to help, just ask. Including the Xiang army, although all of your men are elite, after all, the number is a little small!" Wang Qinruo raised his eyebrows slightly and promised in a low voice.
.
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Han Qing was overjoyed and immediately bowed to salute. Wang Qinruo smiled and held up his arm, pulled him back to his seat, and ordered him to sit down and talk, and not to waste any more energy on red tape.
Dealing with smart people saves effort. In just a few words, each other reached a tacit understanding on what to do next.
As a result, the guests and hosts sat down and chatted while drinking tea. The atmosphere was unprecedentedly harmonious.
Lin Shiqi, the judge of the Economic Strategy Department, obviously couldn't keep up with the thinking rhythm of these three people. He kept talking with a smiling face beside him. Until Han Qing left and went out, he still didn't understand why Ding Wei and Wang Qinruo were two
His attitude changed so much that before and after the grain trucks entered the city, they were almost completely opposite.
"Shiqi, I heard that you and the prefect Yan of Shaoxing are of the same age?" Just as he was puzzled, Wang Qinruo's voice came to his ears, with a hint of coldness.
"Ah!" Lin Shiqi trembled and quickly defended himself, "To be honest with you, my subordinate was indeed a Jinshi in the same year as Magistrate Yan. However, we have no friendship with each other and have never had any contact with each other!
"
No matter what, at this juncture, he would not admit that he had interacted with the Yan family. Otherwise, all the actions of accusing Han Qing in front of Wang Qinruo would be suspected of being ordered by the Yan family.
As for Yan's alliance with several other companies to drive up grain and salt prices, it is unclear whether he knew about it in advance.
"Take the time to write a letter to Magistrate Yan, reminding him not to focus on official matters and neglect to restrain his family." He could clearly feel Lin Shiqi's panic, but Wang Qinruo didn't bother to pursue it, smiled, and said in a commanding tone.
"This, yes!" Lin Shiqi's face twitched and he quickly bowed to accept the order.
Immediately, he quickly explained, "Mr. Enxiang, I only had a few acquaintances with Magistrate Yan before. After following you to Qingzhou, he once wrote to my subordinates asking for care for his family. However, for the sake of my subordinates,
To avoid suspicion, he did not agree. It was just during the holidays that his family sent his nephew to bring gifts, but his subordinates could not help but refuse to accept them. Feeling relieved, his subordinates ordered their followers to return the gifts to the Yan family at market prices. From then on...
"
"No need. I have also received gifts from his family." Wang Qinruo glanced at Lin Shiqi and waved his hand gently. "If the water is clear, there will be no fish. If Wang also prohibits this kind of courtesy, it would be too unkind."
"Yes, Enxiang!" Lin Shiqi heard this and immediately let out a sigh of relief. He put on a smile and said tentatively, "The head of the Yan family is also confused. The two slaves have committed a crime. It's okay if he doesn't clean up the house.
That’s all, he actually teamed up with several other companies to come up with something like this..."
"It's not that he is reluctant to clean up, but no matter how he cleans up, he can't clean himself out of the case!" Wang Qinruo curled his lips and shook his head with a sneer, "So, he simply took the opportunity to establish his power and force Han Tixing not to continue the investigation.
Go down. But don’t think about it. Han Tixing was jointly wanted by the Red Lotus Sect and Yongxing Military Road Government, but he didn’t even take a step back."
"Ah -" Lin Qi pretended to be confused and exclaimed in a low voice, "Did they have other reasons to be caught by Han Tixing?"
"Didn't you just listen to Han Tixing's report to me? Those two evil servants of the Yan family have already confessed. It's just that he was afraid that the Yan family would kill and silence them, so he announced that he had never interrogated those two people!" Wang Qinruo looked at Lin Shiqi again!
One glance, and I felt so disappointed.
They are also deputy prime ministers. Kou Zhun has Wang Shu under his command, and Zhang Qixian has Liang Hao under his command. Many things do not need to be ordered at all. Their close friends can consider them in advance and handle them in an orderly manner.
But on my side, there is only one Lin Shiqi! Even if he is stupid, he is also troublesome, greedy for money, and likes to do things behind his boss's back!
"So that's it!" Lin Shiqi didn't notice at all that Wang Qinruo already had a bad opinion of him, so he went around the bush to test, "No wonder Han Tixing would rather fight with the five major surnames to die together than give in even half a step. It turns out he has already caught him.
He is also lucky that Enxiang is here to serve as the strategic pacifier. As long as what he does makes sense, he will fully support him. If he changes to someone who likes to rule peacefully..."
"It would be the same if it were someone else changing places with me!" Wang Qinruo interrupted solemnly, holding the table.
Really not wanting to listen to Lin Shiqi's roundabout test anymore, he paused and simply made his attitude clear, "When a family is big, it is inevitable that there will be unfilial children who take advantage of the family's power to do whatever they want. I have seen this kind of thing for a long time and am not surprised."
"The younger members of the clan instigated the evil slaves to make mistakes and were caught. The clan leader was reluctant to cut off the strength of a strong man and wanted to get away with it by relying on the family's power. I have heard about this kind of thing for a long time."
"However, in order to exonerate his nephew, he united with other powerful men to drive up the price of rice and salt, and even went so far as to create a man-made famine. That would be too audacious. If he gets his way, how many people on Jingdong East Road will starve to death? I'm afraid.
He didn't directly order the Xiang army to surround his Yan family and confiscate food to provide disaster relief. He had already given face to the Three Dukes and Yan Zhifu. How could it be possible to prevent Han Tixing from carrying out the crimes committed by the Yan family?
Get to the bottom of it?!"
"Yes, what Enxiang said is absolutely true! If it had been anyone else, the Yan family would have been unlucky even faster than it is now. At least Enxiang gave his family a chance to rein in the situation!" Lin Shiqi shivered again in fright, his face suddenly changed.
Became completely white.
After following Wang Qinruo for so many years, this was the first time that he saw the other party being so stern. And Wang Qinruo's last few words just now obviously cannot be simply regarded as angry words.
After all, Wang Qinruo was also involved in political affairs, and he could sit on his chair and give speeches in front of the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. He was really ruthless and wanted to confiscate the Yan family and exterminate the family, but it was just a matter of giving an order.
Although Wang Qinruo may be impeached by his political opponents for this in the future and go home early to retire. However, the Qingzhou Yan family, especially the direct descendants of the Yan family, may not be able to save their lives in the end!
"Shiqi!" Wang Qinruo knew how to restrain himself very well. After venting for a few words, he smiled and patted Lin Shiqi on the shoulder, speaking with sincerity and sincerity, "Although the late emperor once had a legacy that officials and scholar-bureaucrats should rule the world together. But in the end, this world will be ruled by the emperor.
They are not scholar-bureaucrats. After all, you and I are all officials of the imperial court!"
