"The Censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" The governor of Hangzhou has a high official position, otherwise Wang Shizhen would not be so respectful when meeting Lao Tan.
Before Xiao Suzhen could speak, Wang Shizhen had already said in a deep voice: "Sir, this is Xiao Moting's daughter. Because Xiao Moting colluded with Qinglianzhao and was detained in prison, so the crowd gathered and roared at the government office, she should be imprisoned!"
Mr. Tan waved his hands and said with a serious expression: "My father is suffering in prison, and my daughter comes forward to cry out for my father. This is a matter of great benevolence and filial piety. How can I be detained at will? I think our great Chu Dynasty respects literati and adheres to Benevolence, filial piety and justice, how can one be imprisoned for showing filial piety? It is really ridiculous. Wouldn’t this chill the hearts of literati all over the world?” He spoke aggressively, without even caring about Wang Shizhen’s face. His words seemed to have a sharp edge. He pointed at Wang Shizhen. Wang Shizhen's face turned green and his whole body was shaking with anger, but he did not dare to argue.
Inspector Mou felt the same way. When he saw the mustache, he said in a deep voice: "He Tongpan, you are not training in the camp, why are you here?"
Tongpan is an official directly sent by the imperial court who can participate in local military affairs and has the right to intervene. In other words, he is the emperor's spy in the local military. This is to prevent problems in local military affairs. If there are major problems, he can directly report them in letters. However, because he has The right to interfere in military affairs naturally conflicts with the inspection of local military affairs supervisors, and both parties cooperate with each other despite conflicts.
Although the general prosecutor has the right to interfere, after all, he is appointed by the imperial court and is not as familiar with the local officials. Therefore, to a certain extent, the inspector has the power to blackmail the general judge. Under normal circumstances, the inspector is the immediate superior of the general judge.
When Inspector He Tong heard the inquiry from Inspector Mou, he smiled faintly and said leisurely: "Master Tan is going to Lingyin Temple to worship Buddha, and he ordered me to accompany him. Why, Inspector Mou, do you have any opinions?"
Xue Poye is a smart man. When he saw it, he immediately understood something. The word "party struggle" flashed through his mind. The situation was obvious. Wang Shizhen and Inspector Mou were on the same side, and He Tongpan was with the left of the Supervisory Yuan. The imperial censors are in a group, and it is not clear what the conflicts between the two sides are, but it is clear that they are opposed to each other.
Most of the talented people saw that Mr. Tan was kind and approachable, and they all had a good impression of him when he came out for Xiao Suzhen. On the other hand, Wang Shizhen in front of the government office had a green face, and he even ordered Xiao Suzhen to be arrested, which made the public angry.
Xiao Suzhen prostrated herself, "Please make the decision for the daughter of the people!"
Mr. Tan hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and said kindly: "It is my duty to petition for the people without any courtesy, and you don't need to thank me." He pulled Xue Poye over and said with a smile, "It's mine. When the student heard about this, he rushed to Lingyin Temple to call me back, saying that the girl had been wronged and was pitiful. If I didn't care, he would sever the master-disciple relationship with me. Haha..., it's really a hero's sorrow for a beauty. Shut it down, you idiot!"
Xue Poye was immediately shocked. This old man was very good at making up lies. He was a dignified censor from Zuodu, the Imperial Procuratorate. When he told lies, his face did not turn red, and his heart did not beat. He was indeed an old man, and he covered up his shame thickly.
Xiao Suzhen's beautiful eyes turned to look at Xue Poye. Xue Poye was also looking at her at this time. Their eyes met. Xue Poye was thick-skinned and nodded and smiled. However, Xiao Suzhen's delicate face turned red, white and rosy. Even more charming, she said softly: "Thank you... Master!"
Xue Poye was really getting rewarded for nothing. He wanted to explain it, but he caught a glimpse of Mr. Tan looking at him strangely, so he said with some embarrassment: "You're welcome, if you see an injustice on the road, draw your sword to help, you're so polite, girl!"
At this time, he was very close and saw that Xiao Suzhen's skin was really soft and fair, and her plump breasts were rising and falling slightly, which made people think. Xue Poye asked himself that he was a person who could resist temptation, but he swallowed at this time.
.
The talented people around him were suddenly snatched away from the limelight by an unknown boy. Judging from his clothes, he was not a figure in the world of talented people or young men at all. He was really depressed, and his jealousy was at an all-time high. Xue Poye could already feel the slowness of hundreds of pairs of eyes.
Slowly devouring itself, it will tear itself into pieces.
Mr. Tan looked at Xiao Suzhen and said with a smile: "Miss Xiao, Mr. Chen Yin is a great writer in our country. He has great literary talent and I have always admired him. I also read the masterpiece "Collected Works of Chen Yin" all the time, and I feel deeply about it." He paused.
After a pause, he glanced sideways at Wang Shizhen, with a strange smile on his lips: "But I don't know what crime Mr. Chen Yin committed and why he was detained by the government?"
Xiao Suzhen paid her respects and was about to say something when she saw Mr. Tan turning around to face the crowd, raising his hands and saying: "Fellow literati, this matter is of great importance. I will give an explanation to Miss Xiao. You will not say goodbye today."
I have worked hard and gathered here just for justice. I admire it so much. Jiangnan is beautiful and Hangzhou is full of righteousness. I am really pleased. This is the blessing of the emperor and the blessing of my great Chu!" He continued with a smile:
"It's just that the Hangzhou Government Office is the face of the imperial court after all. It's a bit inappropriate for everyone to gather here. Please give me some noodles. Everyone disperses first. I will naturally handle the matter impartially. I will give it to Miss Xiao, Mr. Chen Yin, and everyone."
justice!"
These words were spoken in an extremely gentle manner, and the talented people felt extremely comfortable listening to them. Many of them shouted: "Your Majesty, we must obey your words!" "As long as we handle the matter impartially, we will naturally be convinced!"
Xue Poye was very disdainful. "Handling things impartially" is always a veil. No one knows what is hidden under the veil.
Under the leadership of He Tongpian, the soldiers dispersed the reluctant talents and young men. Although there was a factional dispute between Mou Xunxun and He Tongpian, the soldiers could not control so many. Since He Tongpian
Orders were given to disperse the crowd, but the governor of Hangzhou did not refuse, so the soldiers naturally followed the orders.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and some stubborn people actually hid on the street corner, still secretly looking at Xiao Suzhen with lustful lust.
When Mr. Tan saw the crowd dispersing, he turned back to Xiao Suzhen and said, "Miss Xiao, Mr. Chen Yin's matter is of great importance. Come with me!"
After saying that, he glanced at Xue Poye, half-smiling but not smiling: "Poye, come here too!" Without saying a word, he put his hands behind his back and walked slowly towards the government office.
Xue Poye was stunned. This old boy was really thoughtful and still remembered his name.
Still following behind, surrounded by two guards, Xue Poye felt indescribably depressed even though there was a beauty by his side.
Xiao Suzhen looked at Mr. Tan's back, thought for a moment, called the girl, and followed him.
Mr. Tan was the censor of Zuodu of the Supervisory Yuan. Xiao Suzhen was well-read and had outstanding literary talent. He also had a father who often commented on political affairs. Naturally, he knew the importance of this censor of Zuodu of the Supervisory Yuan.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and Dali Temple are collectively known as the "Three Criminal Divisions". To put it bluntly, they are a secret service agency. The Imperial Envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the highest chief of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. His duties are to "correct and impeach hundreds of divisions, identify those who have been wronged, and supervise all departments."
It is the "Ear and Eyes of the Emperor". There are two censors on the left and right below, who are deputies, each in charge of one place. The left one is naturally the censor of Zuo Du, who can supervise the officials of each government and check the good and evil of their administration.
, once it is verified and there is sufficient evidence, the evidence can be handed over to Dali Temple, where the three divisions will interrogate and convict him. The right department is headed by the imperial envoy of the right capital, and his responsibility is even more frightening. All the so-called royal masters are here, and if nothing is done,
Already, moving is a difficult mission such as assassination, espionage, and undercover.
If there were people in the imperial court who were inconvenient to be executed publicly, they would secretly assassinate them. If the emperor had doubts about a certain prince or official, then the spies in the right office must have been lurking nearby, monitoring every move of the princes and officials, and reporting to the emperor at any time.
For local officials, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is like a white terror hanging over their heads. One day, they may find out something about you and make you lose your official position. You may turn from a powerful person to a poor person in an instant, or even worse.
, losing your head is also common.
Precisely because of the terrifying power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, officials from all over the country were trembling with fear when they saw him.
Xiao Suzhen knew in her heart that if she really wanted to rehabilitate her father, Zuodu Yushi of the Ducha Yuan was the most suitable person. Seeing him gradually enter the government office without looking at Wang Shizhen who was standing aside, it was really a high-pressure official.
Next to him, He Tongpan said his invitation diligently, and Xiao Suzhen took the girl's hand and followed her.
"Niece Suzhen, you...!" Wang Shizhen finally sighed and shook her head when she saw Xiao Suzhen approaching.
Xiao Suzhen glanced at Wang Shizhen, her beautiful eyes full of resentment.
Wang Shizhen took two steps forward, approached Xiao Suzhen, and put her ear to the ear: "Niece Suzhen, please do not let others take advantage of you and become a pawn in the hands of others!"
Xiao Suzhen was startled for a moment, but then she said calmly: "The daughter of the people is just seeking justice for her father, and she is not being used by others. As long as her father is safe, she is willing to be reduced to a pawn!" She glanced at Wang Shizhen, suppressing her anger,
"Master Magistrate, my father has been friends with you for more than ten years. I never expected that you would...!" He threw down his sleeves and entered the government office without saying a word.
Wang Shizhen looked at Xiao Suzhen's back with a look of helplessness on her face, and her body shook, almost limp.dd
