[Some readers are still commenting at three or four in the morning. Everyone should still pay attention to their health! 】
All the way back to the palace, when he arrived at the palace gate, he saw a group of officials waiting outside.
He had never seen these people before, but from the patches on their chests, it could be seen that they were military attachés of different ranks.
Tomorrow is the day to convene a military meeting. These people gathered at the palace at this time, probably because they wanted to take advantage of the prince in advance.
Zhu Jinghong did not communicate with these people, and led the guards to beat the horses into the palace gate, leaving a group of military attachés covered in smoke and dust.
"Who was that just now? He actually led people to race horses in the palace..."
This person asked the question, and someone immediately answered: "Who else can it be? Of course it's the Thirteenth Master!"
"It turns out it's this master..."
When they learned that it was Zhu Jinghong who was riding the horse, everyone present was relieved and started chatting.
"Do you think the bad debts of various treasuries in Aurous Hill can be cleared up in half a month? It has already been three days!"
"You should still care about yourself. This time the Holy Emperor is angry... If we fail to suppress the Japanese, I'm afraid the end will be even worse than these local officials!"
The words from the man behind immediately silenced the scene.
Besides, when Zhu Jinghong entered the palace, he was the first to go to the bedroom. Regarding Xue Pan's lawsuit against Hu Jinan, he wanted to say hello to Zhu Jingyuan in advance.
"Is fourth brother here?"
In fact, these words are completely redundant. Zhu Jingyuan has the attributes of an otaku. Except for visiting Xiaoling once when he left, he never left the palace again.
"The prince is reading the report!"
After entering the palace, Zhu Jinghong went straight to the study and saw the prince sitting behind the desk.
To his left and right, there were two desks on each side, and four East Palace officials were reviewing.
"Thirteenth brother, are you back so soon?"
From the time Zhu Jinghong left the palace to now, it had not lasted more than an hour, which really surprised Zhu Jingyuan.
Looking at his younger brother's heroic appearance and thinking about his own frail body, Zhu Jingyuan would definitely be lying if he said he wasn't envious.
"Fourth brother, I have to discuss something important with you. Shall we go out?"
There were outsiders in the room, even if they were officials from the East Palace, Zhu Jinghong felt it was inconvenient to speak.
"Thirteenth brother, if it's not an important matter, wait until you read my last two reports and meet the generals of Jinling Dusi before talking!"
"Fourth brother, did you ask these people from Jinling Dusi to come here today, or did they come by themselves?" Zhu Jinghong asked with a frown.
The agreed meeting time was tomorrow, and they were not supposed to come today.
"This...they came here on their own. I originally planned to shirk it, but they earnestly prayed for an interview, so I made them wait until now!"
Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong asked calmly: "What is the fourth brother going to say when he sees them?"
"Well this..."
Zhu Jingyuan has been very busy and has not bothered to think about these issues.
"Fourth Brother, think about it again, what do they want to do when they come to visit you?"
Before Zhu Jingyuan could answer, Zhu Jinghong explained: "I'm just here to complain and negotiate terms..."
"They throw difficulties to you, how should fourth brother deal with them?"
In his previous life, Zhu Jinghong had seen and experienced all the troubles between superiors and subordinates in the workplace.
"Your Highness, what the Thirteenth Master said makes sense, you have to be careful about this matter!" The official from the East Palace on the side agreed.
Seeing other people nodding, Zhu Jingyuan finally agreed with Zhu Jinghong's opinion, and then said: "Then I will send someone to send a message. I am not feeling well today and it is inconvenient to meet you!"
Zhu Jinghong smiled and came to the prince's side: "Brother, sitting still all day long is not good for your health. Come on... let's go out for a walk!"
Regardless of whether others agreed or not, Zhu Jinghong pulled Zhu Jingyuan and walked outside.
"Fourth brother, in the past two days, various governments have reported, how is the situation?"
When mentioning this matter, Zhu Jingyuan was full of joy: "It's very effective. It has made a lot of progress compared to before. It will probably be completed by the end of the month!"
"Fourth brother, but I still feel that I need to add a layer of protection, so I plan to..."
When Zhu Jinghong elaborated on the plan, Xue Pan and his servants had already rushed over outside the Yamen of Jichasi on the other side.
As one of the top dignitaries in Jinling, Xue Pan entered the yamen smoothly and handed over the written petition.
The person who wanted to sue was the imperial official. If an ordinary person had been beaten out long ago, the plaintiff was him, the uncle of the Xue family.
There was no other way, so the complaint was uploaded layer by layer and sent to the desk of the deputy envoy who was sitting on the Yamen Council today.
"It's really ridiculous. Bring him here and I'll question him personally!" Deputy envoy Chen Xuanyi said with a gloomy face.
"yes!"
After a while, Xue Pan slowly walked into the inner hall, waving his folding fan, and said hello to Chen Xuanyi.
"Xue Pan, do you want to sue Hu Jinan, the official of Yingtian Mansion?"
"Do you know that this matter is important and not a child's play!"
Putting away the folding fan, Xue Pan said with great solemnity: "Master Chen, this is not a child's play. I really can't stand Hu Jinan's disregard of human life, so I asked you to investigate closely!"
"Are you seriously not joking?"
"Master Chen, do you think I am joking?"
After laying down the complaint, Chen Xuanyi said calmly: "I can't take your case!"
"Master Chen, if you can't accept it, then I will go to the palace to file a complaint!" After glancing at Chen Xuanyi, Xue Pan continued: "If the prince doesn't care, I will go to the Ministry of Punishment and file a complaint to the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"
"Nonsense!" Chen Xuanyi slapped the table.
This is indeed nonsense, but Xue Pan has no choice. If Hu Jinan is not unlucky, he will be finished.
"Mr. Chen, depending on whether the Inspector accepts this case, please give me a warm word!"
Chen Xuanyi wanted to refuse directly, but he was afraid that Xue Pan would go to the palace to complain, which made him temporarily in trouble.
Of course, if the Xue family hadn't been powerful and related to the Jia family and the Wang family in the capital, Chen Xuanyi would have had him beaten out.
What should you do if you encounter something that cannot be solved? The answer is to be given to those who are capable of solving it.
Just when Chen Xuanyi was thinking about reporting the matter to He Gujin, the latter had already sent someone to come to him.
"Master Chen, Master He asked me to ask Uncle Xue to go to me!"
This was something he wished for. Chen Xuanyi nodded immediately and handed the petition to Xue Pan.
In desperation, Xue Pan had no choice but to leave with the lawsuit.
After walking seven times and eight times in the corridor, after entering a courtyard gate, Xue Pan came to a small garden.
At this moment, among the flower stands in the garden, there was an old man wearing a gray straight jacket, pruning the flower branches with scissors.
Hearing the movement behind him, the old man stopped what he was doing and turned around to look at Xue Pan.
"Greetings to Mr. Nitai!" Xue Pan saluted respectfully.
Standing in front of him was none other than Jinling Inspector He Gujin.
"My nephew, I heard that you want to file a complaint?" He Gujin walked to the chair, put the scissors on it and sat on it.
As the top official in the press department, no matter big or small in the yamen could be hidden from him, it was easy to know that Xue Pan's complaint was true.
"Exactly!" While answering, Xue Pan also handed over the petition.
He Gujin already knew the contents of the complaint, but he still read it carefully and asked at the same time: "Your case is not a small one. If you don't pay attention, the officialdom of Jinling will be shocked. Your family is in business... why is it so thankless to do this?" Something about?"
Xue Pan was stopped in one sentence. Although the latter wanted to explain, he couldn't think of a good way to say it.
Seeing that he was silent, He Gujin asked again: "I heard that the Thirteenth Master went to your house today?"
"Exactly!"
"What did Master Thirteen tell you?"
"this……"
Xue Pan couldn't decide whether he should say something or not, so he simply chose not to say it at the moment.
Just when he thought that the so-called complaint would end without any resolution, he heard He Gujin say: "Your case involves serious matters. The complaint will be placed with the Prosecutor's Office first. I will make more decisions after I have considered it carefully..."
"how?"
