"Master He, if you don't let me go, are you really going to wait for my own people to take action?" Xu Dahua said with a threatening tone.
He Sigong's expression changed several times, and finally he waved his hand to the Dali Temple guard and said, "Let him go."
Faced with so many officials from the Ministry of Punishment, the officers of Dali Temple had long wanted to release him, but they could not make the decision on their own without an order from the superior officer. Now that they heard the order to release him, they hurriedly arrested the shopkeeper of the Tiger Flag Shop. Let go guys.
"Master Xu, I hope you won't regret what happened today."
After saying that, He Sigong was not in the mood to stay anymore. He left the shop with the servants of Dali Temple and disappeared behind the crowd.
Xu Dahua looked at He Sigong's leaving figure with a sneer on his lips.
He didn't care at all about the other party's threats. If he had, he wouldn't have brought anyone from the Criminal Department here.
"The common people would like to thank Mr. Xu." Wang Ziyi bowed to Xu Dahua and saluted.
Xu Dahua then turned around, looked at Wang Zijin, and said: "There is no need to be polite, shopkeeper Wang. I came here on the order of Eunuch Wei. Fortunately, I arrived in time, otherwise I would have waited for you to be taken to Dali Temple." Even if the officer wanted to save people, he couldn't."
He is just a member of the Ministry of Justice, a foreign minister, and was promoted just this year. He is nothing in the Ministry of Justice. There are more than a dozen doctors in the Ministry of Justice, as well as ministers and ministers.
Facing a Dali Temple Master, he is one level above him and has an inherent advantage. If he meets the Dali Temple's Chief Minister or Shaoqing, it will not be so easy for him to save them.
"The common people naturally want to thank Eunuch Wei for his kindness, but the common people cannot forget Master Xu's kindness. If you don't mind it, please tell me about it in the room." Wang himself invited Xu Dahua to the guest room next to him.
Xu Dahua hesitated for a moment, glanced at the crowd who had not dispersed outside, and finally shook his head and said: "There are still things to do in the Criminal Department, so I won't stay here."
With that said, he turned around and left.
"My lord, please stay." Wang shouted to himself, and immediately took out a ticket from his sleeve and stuffed it into Xu Dahua's hand. At the same time, he did not forget to say, "This is a ticket from a bank in the capital. I treat it as an invitation to have tea with you." .”
Xu Dahua squeezed the meeting ticket in his hand, lowered his head and glanced at the number on it, then laughed and said: "Shopkeeper Wang is interested, but I am disrespectful. If there is anything that happens to Shopkeeper Wang in the future, just go to the Criminal Department to find out My officer."
"I would like to express my gratitude to you here, sir." Wang bowed his hand.
Xu Dahua nodded, walked out of the shop immediately, and said to the officers of the Ministry of Justice outside: "Follow me back to the Ministry of Justice."
More than twenty officers from the Ministry of Punishment left the shop door in a mighty manner.
Wang stood in front of the shop door by himself. After Xu Dahua and the people from the Ministry of Justice had gone away, he said to the crowd outside the shop that had not completely dispersed: "What happened just now has shocked you. All the customers who come to our shop to buy things today , all 10% off.”
Two customers who had been driven out by He Sigong had not left yet. When they heard Wang Zizi's words, they felt happy and hurriedly walked into the shop, preparing to buy what they needed.
With cheap things to buy, several customers entered the shop.
Wang asked the waiters in the shop to take care of the guests and walked to the backyard alone.
When He Sigong came back from the Tiger Flag Shop, he did not go back to Dali Temple. He just asked the Dali Temple guards to go back by themselves, while he went alone to a restaurant not far from Dali Temple.
In a private room in the restaurant, a white-faced and beardless eunuch was sitting inside drinking tea.
"Father-in-law."
As soon as He Sigong came in, he bowed his hands and saluted the inner prisoner inside.
The eunuch turned around and glanced at He Sigong, put down the tea cup in his hand, and said, "Did he take it to Dali Temple?"
He Sigong shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I have already arrested him and was about to take him back, but I was stopped by the people from the Criminal Department."
"The Punishment Department?" The internal prison officer frowned and asked, "Why would the Punishment Department stop you from arresting people?"
"The leader of the team is Xu Dahua, a member of the Criminal Department." He Sigong said, "I have warned him that there is a big shot's intention behind this matter, but he didn't care at all. Instead, he forced me to let him go, otherwise he would be punished. Impeach."
The jailer frowned and said with displeasure, "You let him go as soon as he scared you?"
"We have to let him go!" He Sigong said, "Xu Dahua has brought twenty or thirty people from the Ministry of Punishment. If he really takes action, not only will he not be able to take away the people, but he may also find a pretext to arrest me and put me in the jail of the Ministry of Punishment." .”
As a civil servant, if he really wants to be imprisoned by the Ministry of Justice for this matter, the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate or some official political opponents will definitely not miss the opportunity to join him. In the future, at the very least, he will end up abandoning his official position. end.
"It's really useless." The inner warden said dissatisfiedly.
He Sigong didn't dare to answer the call. It was indeed him who didn't handle the matter well.
The eunuch continued: "Don't worry about this matter. Our family will tell the truth to the prince."
He Sigong on the side breathed a sigh of relief.
Originally, when he went to arrest people, he thought it was just a trivial matter. He was just arresting the shopkeeper of a Datong company, so he was arrested. However, after seeing Xu Dahua, he knew that the matter was not that simple, and he was most likely involved. In the battle of the big shots.
In the palace.
The matter of Hakka leaving the palace did not stop because of Zhu Youxiao's words. On the contrary, there were constant memorials every day, all of which were sent by courtiers to invite the Hakka to leave the palace.
Zhu Youxiao has been having a headache these past few days because of this matter. Even the carpentry work that he usually likes to do the most, he has no time to do it.
In order to make Tianqi feel better, Wei Zhongxian went all out to get some fun things to bring to the palace. After all, the Hakka family was related to his roots. He was afraid that one day Tianqi would become impatient and agree to the courtier's request to let the Hakka family out of the palace. go.
"Your Majesty, the prince is here." An eunuch ran in to report.
"No, no." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand impatiently.
Recently, not only the courtiers from other dynasties reported the Hakka family's departure from the palace, but also Wang An talked about it every day, which made him quite impatient, and now he was even more annoyed when he heard the name Wang An.
The eunuch said: "I told you, but the prince refused to leave. He just knelt outside."
Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao had an even greater headache.
Wang An was different from other internal prisoners in that he was unwilling to punish him. After all, the ministers were not at fault for inviting the guests out of the palace, and he could not blame Wang An for this.
But at this time, he really didn't want to see Wang An. In the morning, he often heard the courtiers mention the Hakka family. The imperial memorials were almost all about the Hakka family. Even the Hanlin Academy officials who held the banquet also They all mentioned the Hakka family's leaving the palace openly and secretly, and now Wang An came to talk about the Hakka family again, which made him, the emperor, have a big head.
Wei Zhongxian on the side said: "If your Majesty really doesn't want to see Eunuch Wang, it's better to ask your servant to persuade him. Maybe he can persuade Eunuch Wang to go back."
"Okay, go and persuade him. It's best to persuade him to go back. Wang Daban is not in good health and he will easily get sick if he kneels for a long time." Zhu Youxiao agreed to Wei Zhongxian's request.
"My slave obeys the order."
Wei Zhongxian bowed and saluted, then turned upside down and retreated.
