The appointment of Governor Xuanda was a bit unexpected by Yin Wangjie of Shuntian Prefecture. He really preferred to be in charge of government rather than staying in the capital. Although there were constraints, it was better than having dignitaries everywhere in the capital, and high-quality officials were not as good as dogs.
It was much better, and he didn't have to face all kinds of troubles at every turn. However, no matter how confident he was, he knew that the situation in Xuanfu Datong after the war was definitely not easy to deal with.
Moreover, when Lu Chan came to convey the appointment, he told him very thoughtfully that it was Zhang Shou who recommended him.
A sixth-grade official recommending a second-grade official would of course be a joke if it spread. And Wang Jie knew that if Lu Chan had not already received the emperor's implicit consent, this kind of news would never have reached his ears. As for
The emperor ordered people from Jiuzhangtang to be transferred to strengthen his left and right sides. He did not understand that the emperor was worried and therefore placed private persons, but he was very happy to accept it.
The main premise is that the emperor was very wise and did not force the Lu family's fat little man, Lu Zhai, who was too trouble-making, to come over!
However, everyone knew that Wang Jie was about to leave Beijing, but he, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, had not been dismissed yet - because the government offices at all levels had not yet opened their seals, and even the previous appointment of Governor Xuanda was done by the emperor urgently summoning the cabinet's bachelors.
, this was decided tentatively, so the new Shuntian Prefecture Yin had not yet come out, so he could not go on the road. What's more, it was said that it was snowing heavily in Xuanfu, and it was impossible to walk on the road.
Therefore, although Wang Jie, the Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, has entered the countdown, he is still meditating peacefully in Shuntian Prefecture. Although all the clerks and servants are preparing to bid farewell to the Iron Mask King, no one dares to show the slightest joy or do anything.
He didn't dare to neglect at all. On this late night, Lin Laohu, the head of the execution room who went to clean up the fight between the gangsters and bullies, brought back a group of people to Wang Dayin.
At this moment, Wang Jie in the second hall was staring at the calm Zhang Shou, the calm Zhu Tingfang, Zhu Ying looking left and right, and the expressionless Ah Liu. He just felt that his temples were beating and he couldn't help but feel guilty.
Had a headache.
He tried hard to restrain the urge to curse, and said with a straight face: "Dr. Zhang, please explain to me that you guys went to that place at night, which is notoriously remote and where various cases often happen.
What are you going to do? You have brought so many guards, you can’t tell me that you are here to get rid of bad guys, right?”
"Why can't we just get rid of Bao Anliang?" Zhu Ying muttered, but when she noticed that Wang Datou's face turned dark and his eyes were filled with murderous intent, she immediately and obediently stopped making fun of him and hid directly behind Zhang Shou.
Zhu Tingfang was about to speak, but when he saw Zhang Shou taking a step forward, cupping his hands to Wang Jie, and starting to explain what happened tonight before him, he remained silent for the time being and stood there with great interest.
Listen to what Zhang Shou has to say.
"Wang Dayin, tonight, someone sent a private message to Ah Liu, saying that he wanted to tell the old beggar the truth about banging the drum in Shuntian Mansion. However, Yingying and I must go together before he can speak. Therefore, Ah Liu, a master of art, is brave.
Da, he drove Yingying and I out. But at the same time, someone sent a letter to Mr. Zhu, saying that he was afraid that there was a scam, so it was better to take more people and follow him..."
But as he listened, Zhu Tingfang remained calm on his face, but his heart was a little confused. Zhang Shou's statement that sounded like the same thing was actually just nonsense!
It was someone else who sent him the message. It was Zhang Shou who asked Mother Jiang to tell him that after Ah Liu's accident on New Year's Eve, he had found a group of local smugglers to find out the mystery behind the complaints. Now it was one of them who found out the mystery behind it.
, suspected fraud, so he asked him to take a few more people with him, just in case, but don't get together with Zhu Hong and others, and try to be cautious when doing it, and don't kill anyone.
Zhang Shouxian carefully explained the cause and effect, and then began to explain the consequences: "The guy who made an appointment with Ah Liu and us had good intentions at the meeting place, and did not inform Ah Liu in advance, but set up signs along the way.
But when we arrived at the place and didn't come out to see each other, Ah Liu managed to scare him out, but he said that the old beggar's granddaughter was being held captive, so he beat the drum and complained."
Seeing that Wang Jie was listening carefully, he continued: "Halfway through what the guy said, Ah Liu noticed someone approaching sneakily not far away, so he raised his hand and shot an arrow to scare the person away..."
This time, Wang Jie suddenly interrupted Zhang Shou with a straight face: "You said Ah Liu actually shot an arrow? In the capital, bows and arrows are not allowed to be used rashly. Doesn't he know this prohibition?"
Zhu Tingfang was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that unless they were high-ranking disciples like them, or soldiers with positions in the army, bows and arrows were strictly prohibited in the capital, and he couldn't help but feel worried. But when he looked at Ah Liu
, but saw that the young man still looked calm and composed, and even Zhang Shou did not show any panic.
And the next moment, he waited for the answer: "Ah Liu is now the martial arts instructor of the second master Zhu of the Duke of Zhao. Because he was appointed by the emperor, he also wanted to teach the second master Zhu the bow and arrow, so the emperor gave him a name in the Ruiqi camp.
The head, let him receive a salary."
As for the salary, Zhang Shou would certainly not say anything - if Ah Liu's high salary was revealed, it would be strange if it did not arouse public outrage!
Although Wang Jie frowned in disapproval, Ruiqi Camp was the emperor's forbidden army. The emperor wanted to place a person, but he went to support him. That was really desperate for fame. At least the young man in front of him also
He once made a contribution in capturing a traitor. So, he coughed, changed the subject and said, "Dr. Zhang, please continue."
Zhang Shou knew that Wang Jie was not someone who was so strong that he didn't know how to adapt, so he calmly continued.
"While Ah Liu was intimidating those sneaky guys, the guy who had asked him to meet before suddenly made a sudden attack, rolled under the carriage, and stabbed the carriage with a knife. If Yingying and I hadn't heard something going on outside, we would have been afraid that
I was caught in a trap in the car, so I quietly opened the back door of the car and got out of the car a step ahead, fearing that the consequences would be disastrous..."
After briefly talking about the process of capturing Ah Liu, Zhang Shou described Zhu Hong and others who were following behind as being forced with sticks by guys who rushed out from nowhere, so they had no choice but to fight back.
The other group of people led by Zhu Tingfang discovered the sneaky guys who were forced to retreat by Ah Liu, so they stepped forward to capture them...
In short, from the perspective of Zhu Tingfang, who has personally experienced this matter, Zhang Shou is a typical person who avoids the truth and only makes up the lies.
Wang Jie also heard that Zhang Shou's words were not true. However, he knew that no matter what, it was obvious that Zhang Shou or the Zhu family wanted to find out who was behind it. Therefore.
, he just asked Zhu Tingfang and Zhu Ying a few questions, and when he saw that what they said was exactly the same as Zhang Shou, he made a decision directly without asking Ah Liu at all.
"Go and inform Song Tuiguan that those gangsters and bullies will be tried by him. After asking for the reason, they will be punished directly. If you need to be beaten, you will be beaten. After the beating, you will be sentenced to exile or hard labor. Don't put so many people in the prison. The cells of Shuntian Mansion will soon be filled with people."
The cases are piled up.”
Lin Laohu, the head of the execution room on the side, agreed repeatedly in fear. When he heard that Wang Jie didn't throw out the most difficult assassin, he couldn't help but secretly sighed that Wang Datou was Wang Datou after all. He actually planned to take the blame for such a black and dark thing.
.Although it is really difficult to follow Wang Datou, he has to admire his own master Yin in terms of shouldering responsibilities.
Therefore, even though he knew that he should not talk too much, he still asked in a low voice: "Wang Dayin, after the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the major yamen will be officially opened, and the person who wants to take over your position as Shuntian Prefecture Yin should also arrive. This case...
..."Wouldn't it be easier for you to wait for the new governor to take over this case?
Before he finished speaking, Wang Jie said categorically: "Does this need to be said? You serve as an official for one term, and then leave after the matter is over. Do I have to drag the unfinished cases at hand to others?"
Come and take over? Whether it’s a relative of the emperor or a prince or grandson, it’s not like I haven’t dealt with it before! Go quickly and stop rambling!”
Seeing Lin Laohu hurriedly turned around and ran away, while Ah Liu quietly retreated after thinking for a moment outside. Zhu Ying didn't understand what was going on, but she had always admired Wang Jie, so she couldn't help but say at this time:
"Wang Dayin, the guy Ah Liu caught is a dead soldier. He was seeking death in the hands of my elder brother before. This kind of person will not be able to find out the truth even if he is tortured."
"Did I say that I would torture him and pry his mouth open?" Wang Jie suddenly smiled, then looked at Zhu Tingfang and said, "Young Master Zhu probably doesn't know that your future brother-in-law has caused a lot of troubles since he arrived in the capital.
It’s a mess, there are quite a few cases that are thrown at me, and for more than half of them, I have to cut the mess quickly.”
"Of course, the so-called quick knife to cut the knot is that if you can ask, I will interrogate, find out the mastermind behind the scenes, and kill him as a warning to others, such as Zheng Huai'en. But if you can't ask, I can only deal with the culprit. For example, Dr. Zhang was framed in the first place.
That little eunuch, I can only deal with that one person."
After all, Zhu Tingfang had just returned to Beijing not long ago, and his injuries still needed to be nursed back to health. His grandmother and stepmother strictly prohibited the family from disturbing him with those troublesome things, so he only knew the little story of how his sister Zhu Ying and Zhang Shou met each other.
He knew about some of Zhang Shou's "great achievements" after arriving in the capital. As for what messy things Zhang Shou had caused, he had no idea at all.
Therefore, at this time, Zhu Tingfang couldn't help but glance at Zhang Shou. Seeing Zhang Shouzheng touching his nose unnaturally, he thought for a moment and asked: "Can't Wang Dayin just keep raising suspicions and release the news that the assassin has been killed?"
Ask the person who is the mastermind, then escort the person to the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple, lure the snake out of the hole on the way, and then capture him? Isn't this how to fish out the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"This method can be used to deal with ordinary people, but it is useless against dead soldiers, and it is even less useful against the people behind these dead soldiers. Furthermore, do you think I haven't tried it? No one has been lured out, and they are very heavy.
Stay angry."
Wang Jie sighed wanly, and then said calmly: "I am not Bao Zheng, who judges the yang during the day and the yin at night in the play. However, the series of events that happened in and outside the court during these days are the same as before.
In several dynasties, there are similarities between the princes seizing the heirs and the chaotic chaos of demons, so don’t say that I can’t find it out. The emperor has the Chief of Ceremonies to help him, can he find it out?”
Having said this, seeing Zhu Tingfang suddenly speechless, the Shuntian governor looked at Zhang Shou again and snorted.
"And Dr. Zhang recommended me to Xuanda University. Isn't it because he made me, the Shuntian Prefecture, take too many scapegoats for his own sake? So he felt guilty, so he wanted to get me out of this muddy water, which can be regarded as a favor to me?"
Zhang Shou was overjoyed by Wang Jie's straightforward tone: "What Wang Dayin said... How dare I ask you to owe me a favor? The muddy water in Xuanda was even worse than that in Beijing. I
I just feel that you, Wang Dayin, meditating in the Shuntian Mansion in the capital are really overqualified and waste your time cleaning up messes for others."
Even though Wang Jie was always upright, he couldn't help but feel quite comfortable hearing this. He looked Zhang Shou up and down, and finally said angrily: "In the capital, I work for the emperor's relatives and dignitaries.
I clean up the mess so that the common people can live a better life, but when I get to Xuanda University, why don’t I clean up the mess for those arrogant and powerful generals?"
He paused as he spoke, and his tone became more solemn: "I'm not boasting, could someone else be the governor of Shuntian, be able to withstand the pressure from all aspects? To put it even worse, this six-bedroom young man
Among the officials, there are countless cowards, but those who are slightly weaker may not even be able to control these petty officials, let alone take action against the official examination and the government examination."
Arranging the two vastly different examinations, the official examination and the government examination, equally, Zhu Tingfang could not help but have a deep understanding of Wang Jie's unique approach. However, Zhu Ying was somewhat dissatisfied with Wang Jie's statement, especially because she felt that Wang Jie did not know how to do it.
Zhang Shou has a good heart.
Therefore, she rolled her eyes and immediately said with a smile: "According to Wang Dayin's intention, the Shuntian Governor must be someone as selfless, shrewd and powerful as you?"
Wang Jie knew that the eldest lady was a maverick, so he said bluntly: "That's what I mean. Could it be that the eldest lady already has a suitable candidate?"
Zhu Ying smiled and said proudly: "Of course!"
As soon as she said this, not only Zhu Tingfang was surprised, but even Zhang Shou could not help but be surprised. But what Zhu Tingfang was worried about was that Zhu Ying had spoken nonsense and angered Wang Jie, the Shuntian governor who looked ruthless at first glance.
But what Zhang Shou muttered was that the eldest lady had chosen someone on a whim, so don't try to trick people.
But soon, both of them were stunned by the candidate mentioned by Zhu Ying: "My father is very good! Wang Dayin, you see, my father is fair and selfless, and he is the best in both literary and military skills."
Choose, and he is the emperor's direct cousin, so I guarantee that he will not be swayed by anyone's words..."
Wang Jie only felt that one was bigger than the other. Seeing that the expressions of Zhu Tingfang and Zhang Shou were not much better than his, he took a deep breath and said: "Okay, now that you have handed over those gangsters and bullies to
The assassin has been handed over to me, so you can leave the rest alone, I have my own theory!"
Zhu Ying was about to continue trying to win Wang Jie's support for her father, but she was already grabbed by Zhu Tingfang's arm: "Thank you Wang Dayin, then we brothers and sisters will say goodbye!"
Seeing Zhu Tingfang dragging Zhu Ying away without any reason, Zhang Shou pondered for a moment, but instead of retreating, he walked directly to Wang Jie and whispered with a half-smile: "Actually, I also have a candidate, please check with Wang Dayin to see if it is reliable.
"
As he spoke, he moved his lips slightly, said a name, and then smiled: "Of course, that's what I said."
