Yang Fang met Chen E and the inspector Zhou Xin smoothly.
Both of them were wearing light silk woven casual shirts, holding a fan in one hand and a chess piece in the other, sitting across from each other. On the low table at hand, there is a cup of tea and two slices of watermelon.
The life of a third-rank official in the imperial envoy is so simple, and he doesn't even have a maid to shake a fan! Don’t even store a few pieces of ice? This surprised Yang Fang. Although he had heard about Zhou Xin's name for a long time, but when he actually saw this legendary "cold-faced and cold-iron" man who served the people honestly and uprightly, his heart burst out. There was an indescribable feeling of admiration for Zhou Xin, but also concern for him.
As Jinyiwei, although they are just small banners, compared to the officials and people outside the capital, they are the people closest to the court. They know how deep and chaotic the water in the court is. If an upright official like Zhou Xin If you are not worse than the traitors, you will never be able to defeat them.
From the jailer of Shangyuan County to today's Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, Yang Fang has seen many upright officials, but they can only be worthy of the word "qing". They are not greedy for money and ask for bribes. It does not mean that they are honest officials. They don't want to, but they don't dare, and they don't dare to be greedy for money, so they don't dare to do things for the people or speak out for the people. They just act as their "pure" officials honestly, day after day, working as a monk and hitting the clock every day, but It's to protect yourself.
In fact, such people are the most treacherous.
There are too few officials like Zhou Xin, and it is precisely because they are few that they stand out and are easily targeted.
Yang Fang stepped forward, and after everyone had finished their rituals, they explained their intentions.
"I kind of know why Yuan Jiang sent you here." Zhou Xin looked at Yang Fang and said, "It turns out that it's because he couldn't be tough, so he wanted to be soft. Since Mr. Yang and Kezhong know each other, you should not let him go." He goes with you."
Come hard? It seems that Yuan Jiang and the others have hit a brick wall with Zhou Xin. Jin Yiwei didn't even give him any face, he was cold-faced and iron-faced, he really lived up to his reputation!
"I don't understand, please ask Zhongcheng to make it clear." Yang Fang said.
"The emperor gave Ke Zhong a leave of absence, and he was allowed to return to the capital only after the crown prince supervised the country," Zhou Xin said. "As soon as Ke Zhong left, you Jin Yiwei followed. Mr. Yang, don't you think there is something fishy?"
"I only obey the emperor's orders. As for why the emperor did this, as a minister, how can I dare to ask?" Yang Fang said.
"Now in the court, the imperial censor Chen Ying and your commanding envoy Jigang Dang are comparing themselves to traitors, stealing the power of the country, covering up the emperor's wisdom, and Zhang Jun's evil!" Zhou Xindao, "I'm afraid that this is Chen Ying's revenge. The revenge of defeating loyalty and participating in impeachment!"
Yang Fang felt that what he said seemed to make sense: "In that case, why didn't Zhong Cheng write a letter to participate in the impeachment? Could it be that he was also afraid of Chen Ying's revenge?"
Zhou Xin did not feel dissatisfied, but still responded calmly: "As the emperor, you don't know about Chen Ying Jigang's actions? What's more, isn't it also your duty as a royal guard in Beijing to hunt down evildoers?"
The emperor is not very satisfied with the prince. Everyone praises the prince for his kindness. Doesn't that mean that I am not doing well as an emperor? Now in the court, the Disciplinarians, Chen Ying and others are considered traitors. If I hadn't been able to use them and be busy getting rid of the stubborn old people, I would have operated on them long ago. Fortunately, I still have a prime minister in black to give me advice, but this guy doesn't want to get too involved in government affairs. If I want to find someone who can check and balance discipline, I really don't have one at the moment.
The prince's kindness means kindness to all the civil and military officials. As long as the mistakes they made were not too excessive, he took it upon himself to forgive them one by one. If I were not here, this kid would probably have to rehabilitate Jianwen for rebelling against the party!
If he is kind to the officials who have made mistakes, isn't it true that he is unkind to the people of the world and to my people?
It is also wrong to be too kind and blindly kind...
Yang Fang was speechless by Zhou Xin, and after a while he said silently: "I'm just a small flag of the elephant training center..."
"Even if Ke Zhong is guilty, the emperor will certainly not send anyone from the Elephant Taming Station." Zhou Xin looked down at the chessboard with a cold face, showing no emotion or anger, "Now, Mr. Yang, you should understand who is really You were assigned, and why were you assigned?"
Yang Fang listened and agreed in his heart, so he couldn't help but feel irritable...
The loud scholar Chen E finally spoke at this time: "Brother Yang, you might as well sit here to cool down and come over and eat a piece of watermelon!"
"Thank you." Yang Fanggong cupped his hands, said goodbye and turned around.
"There's no need to leave in a hurry!" Chen E's loud voice sounded behind him, "You go back now and be punished! And stay with Brother Rixin!"
"Is it possible that I will stay here all my life and never go back?" Yang Fang felt that the loud scholar said this as if he had no idea.
"They will definitely come here to find you. When the time comes..." Chen E lowered his voice rarely.
Yang Fang had a vague premonition that was not good...
During the 16th dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, there were different names for the forces of evil private organizations.
In the early Ming Dynasty, homeless people were called "Yi Min" or "Yi Fu"; rogue thugs were called "La Fu"; after the middle Ming Dynasty, these people were called "Qing Shou" and their organization was called "Da Xing". As the name suggests, they specialized in fighting for a living; by the end of the Ming Dynasty, they had a new name, called "stick sticks"...
By Lin Linyou's time, they were called "gangsters".
The slogans change with each passing day, but what remains unchanged are those people and their way of life. They spend all day doing nothing, idleness, wandering on the streets, and the source of their livelihood is nothing more than deception, blackmail, robbery, begging, beating, stealing, etc. Wait for it to be obtained; the higher-end ones will dress up, make friends with a few brothers in the government, flatter the government servants and slaves, and help them do things that are inconvenient for the public to do, thus harming the people.
Hundreds of years have passed, everything has changed, but it seems not much has changed...
"These are the three fugitives captured last night. They didn't take pictures of themselves. They are nameless villains!" After a game of chess, Zhou Xin ordered the government officials to take the three people out and kneel at the back hall steps. "Last night, they climbed over the wall and were admitted to the hospital. Bricks and tiles, stealing money and food!”
Yang Fang wondered why they let him see these three people. Could it be that they let him see how they solved the case with an iron fist?
"I didn't expect that I was ordered by Jin Yiwei!" Zhou Xin signaled to the Yamen servant and escorted another person up.
It's just that this person is obviously treated much better and doesn't have to kneel.
Yang Fang took a look and saw that it was Wu Yao, the commander-in-chief!
"Now that there are witnesses and physical evidence, I want to see Yuan Jiang. What else can he say?!"
…
Jiang Jianxue was beaten, her nose was bruised and her face was swollen.
They were beaten up by a group of local gangsters, some of whom were from neighboring villages and had gone to private school together when they were young...
His parents were also covered in paint, especially their faces, which were covered in blood from their scratched nails.
They were tickled by the neighbor woman and a group of her relatives.
Jiang Jianxue was also very angry. She rubbed her face with red eyes and shouted, "Mom and dad, where are our relatives? My eldest cousin Kong Wu is powerful. Call him to come! Help us fight!"
"You are poor in the busy city and no one asks you!" Jiang Jianxue's father said, "After reading so many books, you don't understand this truth?"
Jiang Jianxue: "..."
"Ahem, good disciple, my teacher said, are you in danger of bloodshed?" Suddenly, a voice came from outside the bamboo fence...
…
