Zhang Jia was not annoyed that Liu Shou was a little upset, but he smiled and said: "Wait a moment, Master Liu will naturally know!"
Hearing what Zhang Jia said, Liu Shouyou could only accept it helplessly! So the two of them started talking nonsense, which actually relaxed the atmosphere in the room.
Just when both of them were about to run out of words, a Jin Yiwei trotted in and said, "Sir, Wu Shilang from the Criminal Department, Zhang County Magistrate from the county government, and Sun Shen from the People's Army are all asking for an audience. grown ups!"
Liu Shouyou was stunned when he heard this, and said subconsciously: "How did they get together to find me?"
Then he reacted and looked at Zhang Jia. Zhang Jia said, "Master Li guessed it right. Our family sent someone to invite them! Let them all come in!"
Liu Shouyou smiled bitterly and said, "Zhang Banban, I really don't understand what you mean?"
But Zhang Jia smiled and remained silent. He just shook his head and went out to greet her. If only Magistrate Zhang and General Sun came, he could just wait in the lobby. However, Wu Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment is a civil servant with real power, and he always wants to save face.
As soon as Liu Shouyou left the main hall door, he heard someone shouting: "Master Liu is really a good soldier! A random arrow shot almost all my men to death! You are not a Jin Yiwei, but you are really talented!"
When Liu Shouyou heard this, he looked up and saw three people walking over. The person speaking was General Sun Shen of the People's Army. This man was tall and strong, with a beard on his face, and he looked like a majestic general. But in fact, Liu Shouyou knew that this man was as timid as a mouse, and only relied on his family and money to reach the position of general. He was basically an incompetent person! So Liu Shouyou doesn't care about him at all!
But he had to be careful with the other person next to him. This man stood in the middle of the three people. His stature was slightly shorter than that of a normal person, his face was thin, and his three short beards did not stick to his face snugly.
However, this man's eyes were bright and clear, which completely suppressed this flaw. This person is Wu Zhenjiang, the right minister of the Ministry of Justice! This person is capable and impeccable in his work, so he is generally responsible for the external affairs of the Ministry of Justice. For example, when the police officers go to the street to collect money, someone takes the blame and the case is dismissed.
Half a step behind him on the right, there is another person who is trying hard to bend his body to make himself appear shorter. But this man is taller than normal people, so no matter how hard he tries, there will be no results. This person is Zhang Youbin, the county magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture!
As the saying goes, if you have misfortune in three lives, the county magistrate will be attached to Guo; if you do evil in three lives, you will be attached to the provincial capital of Guo; if you are full of evil, you will be attached to the capital of Guo! The so-called "magistrate is attached to Guo" means that the magistrate and the magistrate are in the same city. In this way, his every move will be restrained, and he will be "tired of running for his life" and completely lose the prestige of a "parent official".
"Fu Guo Provincial City" means that the county magistrate, prefect, and governor are all in the same city, which has no status! Not to mention Guo Jingcheng! The most difficult magistrate in the world is the magistrate of the capital!
In the capital, big bosses are really rampant! He is a small county magistrate and cannot afford to offend anyone! Even ordinary people don't know if there is a relative of a high-ranking official behind them, so life is very difficult!
What is even more sad is that in this era, the division of responsibilities and powers between various yamen was not very clear, so it often happened that one yamen usurped the power of another! Now Shuntian Prefecture is being eaten hard by the Ministry of Punishment. Magistrate Zhang is actually not much better than a wooden and clay doll. He can at most take care of some petty thefts on the street. Other matters have been snatched away by the Ministry of Punishment. It is completely A decoration!
At this time, Wu Shilang was in an era of both yin and yang: "Master Sun, your soldiers still dare to go into battle, but our officers from the Ministry of Justice and the county government do not even dare to go into battle, and actually spend money to hire people to fight! It seems that they are doing well. Training them! But since the people of Jin Yiwei are so powerful, how about asking Commander Liu to send someone to train those unsatisfactory bastards under our men? "
Liu Shouyou knew that they were venting their dissatisfaction at this time, but Jin Yiwei's victory was also to give him face, and as the victor, he naturally had to be more generous! So he laughed and said: "You two are serious! My son-in-law just took advantage of the equipment, and he won without using force!"
Although the three people talked and crowded around each other, they still greeted each other. As for Magistrate Zhang behind them, everyone ignored him. But he was used to this situation, and he saluted Liu Shouyou automatically and consciously, and then followed the two people in front of him into the main hall.
As soon as the three of them entered the door, they saw Zhang Jia standing in the middle of the lobby with a smile, and they immediately stepped forward with a smile and saluted. After Zhang Jia returned the gift, he acted like a master and said, "Come on, everyone, please sit down quickly. I'm afraid everyone will have a headache soon, so save your energy!"
After finishing speaking, Zhang Jia took the lead to sit down, but fortunately he did not take Liu Shou's place. And Liu Shouyou could only sit on the main seat with a wry smile. He knows that the situation is no longer within his control!
There are not many people in the room now, but they represent different interest groups. Zhang Jia represents Emperor Wanli, while Liu Shouyou represents Zhang Juzheng. General Sun Shen represented the military, while Wu Shilang and Magistrate Zhang represented the civil servants. If you add one more noble person, you will almost have a small imperial court!
What's even more interesting is that Liu Shouyou took refuge with Zhang Juzheng, and was actually integrated under the banner of the Civil Service Group. However, Zhang Juzheng's demands were different from those of ordinary civil servants, and he also had the status of a military attache, so he was very unpopular with the civil service officials. , so the atmosphere they saw was very subtle!
After everyone was silent for a moment, Wu Shilang took the lead and said: "Eunuch Zhang, I wonder what your order was when you posted a message asking us to come here?"
Everyone wanted to know the answer and turned their attention to Zhang Jia. Zhang Jia was about to speak when suddenly a guard in uniform came in and announced: "Sir, Liu Haojia, the general flag of Qipan Street Hundred Household Office, said he was here under orders and asked to see you!"
Liu Shouyou was stunned when he heard this, and was about to order him to be kicked out, but he immediately realized that Liu Haojia must have been summoned by Zhang Jia, so he couldn't help but look at Zhang Jia.
But Wu Shilang thought that Liu Haojia came here on Lele Liu Shouyou's order, so he was a little unhappy! So he sneered and said: "Why, Mr. Liu, you Jin Yiwei have managed to get through the court this time by relying on sophists. Do you still want to show off in front of me?"
