Chapter 1,209: Save people first, don’t rush to put out fires
The visitor was so aggressive that he separated from the clerks gathered at the door of the duty room, strode into the duty room, and glared at Du Chuke who was sitting behind the desk!
Du Chuke looked up, quickly stood up from his desk, bowed slightly, and saluted, "I have met Duke Kui."
The visitor is Liu Hongji, Duke of Kui...
Liu Hongji was the son of Liu Sheng, the governor of Hezhou in the Sui Dynasty. However, his father died early. When Liu Hongji was young, he was unruly and liked to associate with light knights. However, due to his inability to produce, his family was impoverished. Later, he was granted a title because of his father's influence.
He served as Youxunshi and accompanied Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty in his expedition to Liaodong. When he arrived in Fenyin County, Liu Hongji knew that he was to be executed by law after missing the deadline, so he and his subordinates broke the law by slaughtering cattle and were arrested and imprisoned. He was redeemed and released from prison a year later.
Later, he fled the country and stole horses to support himself, and then went to Taiyuan to stay with Li Yuan. When he saw Li Yuan's second son Li Shimin's extraordinary spirit, he took the initiative to make friends with Li Shimin, so he was highly used.
When Li Yuan raised his army, Liu Hongji killed Song Laosheng, defeated Wei Wensheng, besieged Chang'an, and awarded General You Xiaowei for his merits. Later, he went on a campaign with the King of Qin Li Shimin, crusaded against Xue Ju, defeated Song Jingang, and defeated Liu Heita, with great military exploits.
.
It can be said that among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, Liu Hongji was regarded as a direct descendant of His Majesty Li Er with "good roots and a strong reputation"...
Liu Hongji had a violent temper, pounded the table and said angrily: "Don't do this to me! I just want to ask you, the fire in the East Market has swept through countless shops, why did the Jingzhao Mansion only send people to guard the left intersection to prevent others from approaching, but did not mobilize
Manpower to organize firefighting?"
Du Chuke did not argue with him, but did not give in. He said calmly: "This is an internal matter of the Jingzhao Mansion. If Kui Guo thinks that he has mishandled it, he can impeach him."
My officer."
Liu Hongji was furious: "What's the point of this? Those three shops were all swept by fire and were about to turn into rubble. Is this what Jingzhao Mansion is watching?"
Du Chuke said: "The fire is too big. There is a lack of water wells in the East City. Even the few wells are blocked by silt because they have not been dredged for many years. There are not enough water channels to put out the fire. Rushing to put out the fire will only increase the casualties in Jingzhao Mansion, and also cause
I hope Duke Kui will understand."
Liu Hongji blew his beard and stared: "Are we going to let someone just watch the fire spread?"
Before Du Chuke could speak, he heard someone outside the door saying: "Don't worry, Duke Kui, this fire cannot burn endlessly. Please wait while I organize Jingzhao Mansion officials to go to the rescue. It won't burn for long."
Liu Hongji turned around in shock, looked at Fang Jun who strode in, and said curiously: "Isn't your kid being interrogated in the lobby of the Criminal Department? It's been a whole day of interrogation. It seems like everything is fine?"
Du Chuke and Wang Xuance in the room, Li Yifu suddenly saw Fang Jun appear, and they were overjoyed! Since they can walk out of the lobby of the Criminal Department, it means that the rain has passed and the clouds have dispersed!
Fang Jun smiled and nodded to Du Chuke and others, then put his arm around Liu Hongji's shoulders and said with a playful smile: "When did you always care so much about the things outside your body? Just burn it. As the saying goes, don't get rid of the old and don't get rid of the new.
Come……"
Liu Hongji opened Fang Jun's hand and cursed: "You're a bastard who doesn't get promoted! I don't need Li Xiaogong, Chang Sun Wuji and those people who know how to make money. If I only have a little bit of family property, if I burn it all with a fire, won't I lose everything?"
The coffin is all gone? Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if, after the death of the majestic prince, his descendants just dug a hole with a piece of straw and buried it?"
Fang Jun laughed loudly: "How about I give you a mouthful of high-quality longevity food as a gift?"
Nowadays, almost all the old guys who are about to die come to Fang Jun to ask for a piece of high-quality rosewood wood, and Fang Jun gives it away with ease...
However, Liu Hongji has an open-minded personality, which makes Fang Jun respect him quite a bit.
Last year Liu Hongji suffered from a serious illness and almost couldn't survive it, so he left his last words, giving each of his sons fifteen slaves and five hectares of land, saying: "If you have the ability, you don't need much property in the first place.
If you don't have the ability, you can avoid cold and hunger with these properties." He also requested that after his death, all other property should be distributed to relatives and friends.
How could such a person storm into Jingzhao Mansion to show off his authority and show off his authority just for the sake of a few shops?
It's obviously just a show for those people from the Guanlong Group...
Being independent is the stupidest thing, and being in harmony with others is the long-term solution.
Liu Hongji glared at Fang Jun: "Is this true?"
"Seriously, seriously, I'll send someone to you later."
"That makes sense." Liu Hongji nodded with satisfaction: "It's settled, if you don't see the best rosewood before sunset tomorrow, I'm not done with you!"
He also threatened Fang Jun that if he dared to speak untruthfully, he would chase him to Fang's house and beat him up, and then he happily left with his family general Bu Qu.
No matter how worthless the three shops in Dongshi are, they are not worth a pair of rosewood wood, right?
Fang Jun clicked his tongue, the old guy didn't even bother to act...
Du Chuke and others hurriedly came forward to greet him, all with happy expressions.
"Fu Yin, are you okay this time?"
"You are finally back, our hair is almost gone..."
"Just come back. You are in charge of the overall situation. Let's put on a big show and show it to those who want to frame you!"
Fang Jun comforted them one by one with a smile. When he turned around and saw Wei Dawu standing awkwardly at the door, he smiled and said: "What are you standing for? Go ahead and do what you have to do. I don't know if the people of the Wei family are looking at you right now."
Are you bothered?"
Wei Dawu's face turned red and he quickly turned around and walked away.
Although Webster was not the mastermind of the "Fang Jun case" this time, Webster charged into the battle as a vanguard and severely offended Fang Jun. Now that Fang Jun has returned to Jingzhao Mansion, it is conceivable that he must have a grudge against Webster
In my heart, I am afraid that my life will become more and more difficult in the future...
Taking over the leadership of Jing Zhaoyin?
Haha, don’t be tortured to death by Fang Er, even if you burn high incense...
Fang Jun said to Li Junxian: "General, please take a seat."
Then he went to the main seat behind the desk and sat down, stretching himself. A clerk brought some tea and invited them to drink it.
Fang Jun took a sip of tea and asked Li Junxian: "I'm afraid the four gates of Chang'an City have been closed now, and the whole city has been blocked, right?"
Li Junxian nodded: "This is His Majesty's order. The fire in East City is burning strangely. I'm afraid someone is behind it, so we have to arrest the culprit in the city."
Fang Jun shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I am not talking about the fire in Dongshi, but the kidnapping of Princess Changle. Does General Li have any direction for the investigation?"
Li Junxian said in astonishment: "But... we don't have to worry about the fire in Dongshi?"
He just heard Liu Hongji say with his own ears that the Jingzhao Mansion in Dongshi did not put out the fire at all, but just stopped the fire from spreading.
"One hundred Dongshis are not as good as one Princess Changle! Even if the whole city of Chang'an is burned down, the worst we can do is to be dismissed from our posts and sent to the army. But if Princess Changle makes any mistake, we will be buried with her..."
Li Junxian was sweating a little: "But we can't let the fire in Dongshi spread, right?"
There was a fire in Dongshi, but Fang Jun was enjoying himself. This made Li Junxian deeply doubt whether Fang Jun secretly set the fire...
Fang Jun was about to answer when he looked up and saw the red-headed and blushing Linghu Defen rushing in aggressively. The clerk couldn't stop him and had to look at Fang Jun with a grimace.
Fang Junxin asked what was going on today, why did both of them come uninvited and come so unexpectedly?
He waved his hand to ask the scribe to move away. How could a small scribe dare to stop the mighty Minister of Rites?
Linghu Defen entered the house, stared at Fang Jun and asked, "Why don't you see Jingzhao Mansion organizing manpower to put out the fire in Dongshi?"
He followed Fang Jun and left the lobby of the Ministry of Justice. Before returning home, a servant at home came to report the heavy losses in the East City. Two of the warehouses had been burned down, and the remaining ones were also in danger. If not in time,
Rescue will soon be burned down.
However, Jingzhao Prefecture blocked several street intersections in Dongshi. Instead of stopping people from fighting the fire, it actually prevented shops from saving themselves...
When Linghu Defen thought of the heavy losses and the subsequent compensation, his heart ached so much that his liver trembled. He hurried to Jingzhao Mansion to ask for an explanation and let them put out the fire quickly.
Fang Jun said speechlessly: "I just came back from the lobby of the Ministry of Punishment, and I didn't even bother to take a sip of tea. Are you blind and unable to see?"
