Sun Yi said to Fan Yongdou: "Dr. Fan, you have something to say to my family. Now that my family is back, please tell me quickly!"
"Yes, yes." Fan Yongdou nodded humbly, then bowed and said, "Sir, I would like to ask you to uphold justice."
As he spoke, he lifted his robe and knelt on the ground.
At this time, a servant came in from outside, walked around Fan Yongdou who was kneeling on the ground, and offered hot tea to Wang Xinyi.
Wang Xinyi picked up the tureen in his hand, blew in the hot air inside, put it to his mouth and took a sip. After taking the tureen away from his mouth, he asked: "What grievances do you have? Tell me, my officer." I will make the decision for you."
This was just something he said casually. As for whether he can make the final decision, it still depends on what happened.
"The grassroots have a business called Sun Ji in Datong..."
"etc!"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Xin stopped him and said, "Your Fan family is also a famous Shanxi merchant in the Xuanfu area. If I remember correctly, your Fan family's business name is Fan Ji." , not Sun Ji."
"Your Majesty is right." Fan Yongdou admitted, and then added: "But Sun Ji is also a business of ordinary people, and it is currently only open in Datong Mansion."
"The rumors are indeed true, your Fan family's business has opened in Datong." Wang Xinyi said lightly, and then said, "You continue."
Fan Yongdou knelt down and raised his head and said: "There is a business in Lingqiu named Huziqi. Because of their business relationship, they colluded with bandits on the mountain and robbed Sun Ji's goods halfway, causing Sun Ji, a grassroots man, to suffer heavy losses. Please sir. Make decisions for the common people.”
As he spoke, he knocked his head to the ground.
Wang Xinyi frowned slightly.
He didn't want to get involved in such nonsense, but when he heard that there was something about the Tiger Flag, he immediately thought of the young man who had been summoned by the governor before him, who was the owner of the Tiger Flag.
At this time, Sun Yi, who was standing on the side, whispered: "Sir, this Tiger-Character Flag is very unusual. I secretly asked someone to find out that the shop named Tiger-Character Flag in the capital is this Tiger-Character Flag." Flagship store opened in the capital."
Wang Xinyi frowned and said, "You mean this Tiger Flag business is related to that person from the inner court?"
"According to the student's opinion, I'm afraid it's three to nine." Sun Yi said in a low voice.
"No wonder!" A sneer appeared at the corner of Wang Xinyi's mouth.
Before he took up the post of governor of Datong, he had known the governor of Datong and knew that he, like most people in the Chu Party, had turned to Wei Zhongxian.
At this time, he learned from his staff that the company named Tiger Flag was also related to Wei Zhongxian. This made him understand why a white businessman was actually qualified to meet the governor and was arrested before many civil and military officials. The governor met and traced the cause. Both parties were responsible for the eunuchs.
As a member of the Donglin Party, I naturally hate Wei Zhongxian, a seducing prisoner, and at the same time, I also want to get rid of the treacherous people who are attached to Wei Zhongxian.
"Sir, this is a good opportunity." Sun Yi whispered.
Wang Xin turned her head and looked at Sun Yi, with a trace of confusion on her face.
Just listen to Sun Yi continue to say, "This Tiger Character Banner is engaged in smuggling business. As long as you get the evidence that Tiger Character Flag colluded with the Beibei, even if Wei Zhongxian cannot be touched for the time being, he can still cut off his way of making money."
Wang Xin looked thoughtful.
Another aide next to him, Chen Tong, said: "My lord, if we can get the definite evidence that Wei Zhongxian colluded with the Northern Banners through this tiger-character flag, overthrow Wei Zhongxian in one fell swoop, and clear out the evil spirits in the court, my lord, your status in the Donglin Party will be greatly improved in the future." Become important.”
Wang Xin twisted his beard with one hand, feeling a little moved.
Although he is a member of the Donglin Party, he knows his situation. He is not an important figure in the Donglin Party, and he is not taken seriously by several Donglin Party bosses, and even several Donglin Party bosses. You may not have heard of his name.
There are many Donglin Party members like him. If they want to be taken seriously by the Donglin Party bosses, they must make some important measures that are beneficial to the Donglin Party.
The tiger flag in front of us is an opportunity.
Today's imperial court can barely be regarded as a prosperous court, but the inner court is still controlled by Wei Zhongxian.
If he can use this tiger-character flag to get rid of Wei Zhongxian, who many Donglin Party bosses have no choice but to do, then his reputation will surely catch up with several Donglin Party bosses.
Even if he cannot enter the cabinet in the future, he will at least have the position of minister or minister in the six departments.
Sun Yi, who was on the side, noticed the excited expression on Wang Xinyi's face and knew that Wang Xinyi was tempted, so he whispered: "Sir, if we want to deal with the Tiger Flag, we must have the help of Dongzhu Fan."
"What do you mean?" Wang Xin glanced at Fan Yongdou who was kneeling on the ground, and finally his eyes fell on Sun Yi.
Sun Yi said in a low voice: "Tiger Flag is a famous business name in Datong, and it has such a relationship with the governor. If you want to deal with Tiger Flag, you can't force it, otherwise, it will inevitably attract constraints from the governor. "
"Tell me what you think?" Wang Xinyi asked.
Sun Yi did not speak, but glanced at Fan Yongdou who was kneeling on the ground.
Wang Xin picked up the bowl of tea and said in a calm tone: "Chen Tong, please take this boss Fan out first, and let me consider his matter."
"Yes." Chen Tong agreed, then turned around and faced Fan Yongdou and said, "Dr. Fan, please come with me."
Fan Yongdou knelt on the ground, bowed to Wang Xinyi first, then got up from the ground, followed Chen Tong and left the study.
After both people left the study, Wang Xinyi said, "You can speak now."
Sun Yi said: "The students came to Datong with your Excellency, and they were thinking about how to open up the situation and prevent your Excellency's patrol from being in name only. And this Fan Yongdou is your opportunity."
"go on."
Wang Xinyi held a bowl of tea, put it to his mouth and took a sip of tea.
Sun Yi continued: "If you want to stand firm in Datong, you must find a way to gain the support of the generals. At the very least, you must win over the generals of Datong."
Wang Xinyi thought for a while, then nodded and said: "The governor is Wei Zhongxian's man, it is impossible for him to get together with me, let alone delegate power to me, but it is not easy to get the support of the generals, so Even the leaders of the Duodonglin Party have not done this, and besides, I am just a seventh-grade censor, so I may not take him seriously."
If he were an ordinary general, as the patrol commander of Datong, he would naturally be looked down upon, but it was different for a general who was a general.
The generals hold the most elite soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty, and several border towns are also controlled by the generals. Even the exchange of several border guards will only be replaced by other members of the generals, making it difficult for outsiders to intervene.
