Hearing such remarks, Wan Renyuan was puzzled. No matter how serious his crime was, he should not be the first to be investigated. What would he do if word got out? Wouldn't that make people laugh?
Even though he knew that the people in front of him were the ones he couldn't afford, he had to say this.
At the very least, there has to be a reason, so you might feel a lot better.
Faced with the question raised by Wan Renyuan, Sun Chengzong answered this way:
"General Wan is a third-grade general. His status in Shimen County is relatively high. He is a military attaché. General Wan is also a veteran general, and his status is not to mention.
What's more, the ancestors have made extraordinary achievements. If the general can cooperate with the investigation of other officials, it will definitely be effective. In this way, the investigation work will naturally be much smoother. What does the general think? "
Hearing this, Wan Renyuan could only scream in his heart that it was bad.
He heard the hidden meaning of Sun Chengzong's words. It seemed that he already knew the things he had done. The tone of his words was already very polite. It would be ridiculous if he didn't follow suit.
"Since Mr. Sun has said so, how can I refuse? If my guess is correct, the person handling the whole matter should be Mr. Tang Jianqiu. I wonder if Mr. Tang can give me an explanation?"
These words undoubtedly gave him a thunderbolt from the blue. With just one sentence, all the blame was placed on Tang Jianqiu.
When he was about to open his mouth to say something, Zhao Nanxing saw Tang Jianqiu's dilemma and defended him:
"General Wan, Mr. Tang is mainly busy with disaster relief these days. He is paying attention to the local people. He has put the matter of finding out the truth behind.
Mr. Tang is still relatively new to the matter. He is too young and cannot distinguish the importance of some things. I have already taught him a lesson before coming to the house. Now he already knows.
Besides, we all act according to orders, no matter who we ask to do it, how can I let Mr. Tang take all the credit? If His Majesty knew about it, I'm afraid we would be punished for this. "
Zhao Nanxing's words seemed to be thinking about Tang Jianqiu and himself, but in fact they were protecting him.
In this situation, blindly saying good things about Tang Jianqiu will only be counterproductive, will also be offensive, and may even be detrimental to Tang Jianqiu. This is the best policy for now.
It was obvious that Wan Renyuan liked this very much, and he had already believed more than half of Zhao Nanxing's words.
He was almost always under heavy pressure and could not question the adults in front of him, so he could only give up.
"I see, this general understands it. It's no wonder that Mr. Tang personally led several adults to come to investigate."
Wan Renyuan was full of yin and yang. He didn't dare to deal with Tang Jianqiu even though he dared to say secret words. Now that the blame has been thrown on him again, he was a little curious about how Tang Jianqiu would answer the question.
Tang Jianqiu seemed to be aware of the situation in front of him and did not appear too panicked. He just kept a calm mind and said in a normal tone:
"General Wan is joking. This matter is all decided by the Holy One. How can a subordinate dare to resist the order and be disrespectful? If the general is not willing to resign, please ask Your Majesty to take up the post of imperial envoy to avoid embarrassing the general."
These words were like a blow to his head. No matter how courageous he was, how could he dare to disobey the Holy Order? Even if he had such thoughts, he would not dare to say them in public, for fear that he would not be able to afford the punishment.
Tang Jianqiu was very clear about all the officialdom. Even if His Majesty didn't go to court that often, it didn't mean that he was a fool who didn't care about anything.
And he was determined that as long as the matter was left to His Majesty, he believed that no matter how strong his temper Wan Renyuan was, he would only suffer the consequences of being dumb.
Wan Renyuan smiled bitterly and said: "How dare you? Mr. Tang is overly worried. It's just that this general didn't expect that the first time he met Mr. Tang was to investigate a case. I really feel sorry for Wan."
Tang Jianqiu raised his hands and cupped his fists and said, "I'm just following orders to protect the safety of a few adults."
Wan Renyuan just chuckled after hearing this, as if he had heard an ironic joke, and said indifferently:
"Oh? Is there anyone in this general's mansion who dares to do harm to Master Tang? Wouldn't that be asking for death? Master Tang's reputation is spread throughout Shimen County."
"The general is laughing. Of course, there is no such thing as the General's Mansion. It's just that the world is unfair and people's hearts are unpredictable. It is inevitable that some people will not be willing to demolish illegal construction and get angry at a few adults.
If this is the case, Tang Jianqiu will definitely let them return without success, and they will have to pay the price for it! "
Tang Jianqiu blocked the other party with just one word. Although he did not doubt the security of the General's Mansion, he was still worried about the person with evil intentions.
What he said was full of chivalry and had the flavor of a Jianghu man. The reason why he had such emotions was because he hated those villains who committed crimes!
Wan Renyuan laughed dryly: "Master Tang is worthy of being the governor of Beizhen Fusi. He is indeed as heroic and heroic as the rumors say, and he also has a heroic spirit."
However, Tang Jianqiu was not going to listen to his nonsense and went straight to the point:
"General Wan, several adults have been waiting for me for a long time. May I ask if we can do an inventory?"
Hearing this, Wan Renyuan's heart skipped a beat. He originally planned to take this opportunity to change the topic and benefit a few adults. In this way, it would be a big deal and a trivial one.
But now that Tang Jianqiu had ruined all his plans, he had to nod even if he was dissatisfied.
"What Mr. Tang said is true. Since His Majesty has already issued an order on the mat, it is natural to investigate. This general will take Mr. Tang to the mansion to investigate thoroughly, leaving no corner untouched.
I don’t want people to say that such a big general like me is disobeying the imperial edict! I just wonder if the adults would like me to personally accompany them to investigate? "
"If you dare not do it without General Lao Wan, then please send someone to lead the way in person."
After a while,
In the Jinluan Hall, Zhu Youxiao was sitting on a dragon chair, holding evidence in his hand. He was filled with resentment, closed the relevant documents and denounced:
"The results of the investigation of Shimen's flooding, judicial and illegal construction are now in my hands. Among them are many princes, nobles, and high-ranking officials in the court. As for the list of records, I don't want to read it anymore.
I believe that not all ministers are mediocre people. There are many people who have lax supervision and careless inspections. They don’t know that this illegal construction has harmed the people!
Now that this illegal building has been forcibly demolished, I want you and other people who illegally built it under private law to fine you a thousand taels of silver to use for disaster relief! Order the staff to punish sixty,
After this incident, all of you dear friends must reflect on it! I won't go into it any further, I don't want this to happen a second time. "
"Thank you for your grace!"
According to the Ming Dynasty Law, buildings built next to streets and rivers that obstruct traffic, dredging, or exceed regulations, regardless of size, are considered "illegal construction" and there are clear penalties.
Any privately built houses, residences, or graveyards that hinder the smooth flow of roads or dredging of rivers will be dealt with accordingly.
Those who occupy streets and alleys to build houses or privately invade official roads are guilty of the same crime and shall be eliminated!
Among them, there was a family with powerful military and civilian power inside and outside. They invaded official streets, filled up ditches, and used it as a private residence. However, they were punished because the evidence of the crime was found out...
…
After this incident ended, the Jinyi Guards found a place to eat and drink happily.
Speaking of which, going on a business trip to other places and going to Peiping are two different feelings!
I always feel tired when I'm running around outside, and my appetite increases. I always feel like I can't get enough to eat, and I can't even get a good night's sleep, as if I'm afraid of being plotted against.
It's different now that I'm back in Peiping. I feel a lot more relaxed. No, a group of Jin Yiwei are raising their glasses and drinking, as if they have endless things to say.
The brothers each chatted for a few words, some talked about their feelings about going out, others talked about their ideals, and some even thought about their wives and children at home.
For them, no matter how tired they are, just thinking of their virtuous wife and a pair of children waiting at home is a different feeling, and all their unhappiness will disappear.
"Fortunately, no brothers were injured during this patrol. When I first came to the stone gate, I was worried that it would be difficult to cope with it. In this way, it can be considered a smooth thing, hahaha!"
One of the Jinyi guards stood up as he was talking. He even got drunk and smeared coal on his face to impersonate Zhang Fei. With his claws and teeth, he looked a bit like Zhang Fei.
The Jinyi Guards felt very happy about this and felt much happier.
As for Tang Jianqiu, he just smiled silently.
And among them there is such a courageous one. After all, a group of men can do anything once they drink too much. How can they remember this? I'm just afraid it will make some jokes.
To say that Ah Fei was itchy, he actually picked up Tang Jianqiu and joked with him.
The blush on his face became more and more obvious, like Guan Gong's face turned red.
Ah Fei burped with satisfaction, then raised his glass and said: "Brothers, it is said that the Governor is planning to find the young lady he likes.
It won’t be long before we can have a wedding banquet. Why don’t we look forward to it? "
Ah Fei raised the wine glass in his hand coquettishly. Perhaps he was too drunk, and he didn't seem to notice that Tang Jianqiu had already turned his attention to him.
"This is a good thing! What if I don't give Lord Zaitang a good beating?"
"That's right! Mr. Tang must be bleeding profusely!"
A few of the best Jin Yiwei made jokes about Tang Jianqiu. Since business was done, they didn't need to be too reserved. Occasionally they would make some other jokes to relax.
The way they spoke was naturally casual, and Tang Jianqiu was a little bit dumbfounded after hearing this.
Of course, if they want to go, they will invite them, but not everyone can go.
Ah Fei may have drunk a little too much this time, which led to him getting a little drunk. In desperation, he said something like this:
"I heard that the visitor is Miss Shen, and his official position is higher than that of Mr. Tang! If we meet, do you think this girl will get tired of Mr. Tang, and maybe even call him Qiuqiu? Haha? Ha ha!"
Hearing this, Tang Jianqiu's anger had reached eight points, and the wine glass he was holding cracked due to his excessive anger.
He frowned angrily and said in a very unhappy tone, "A Fei, I'm too kind to you, right?"
Seeing that Tang Jianqiu was really angry, A Fei realized that he was arrogant. When he looked at the cup that Tang Jianqiu was holding, he got goosebumps all over his body, as if he saw himself being cut into pieces.
He lightly slapped his face as a punishment, looking like an honest man, "It's my fault! What can I say that's not good?
Bah, bah, bah, no one would call me that. Mr. Tang, you have a lot of them, so don’t take it to heart! Just treat the little one as a fart and let it go. "
Hearing this, Tang Jianqiu's anger weakened a little. He wouldn't worry about this trivial matter, so he simply put it behind him and let him go.
Tang Jianqiu thought to himself: "The task assigned by Your Majesty earlier has been completed. I can rest for a while. I wonder how that girl is doing now. She has grown into a tall and graceful girl now, right?"
Hongluan, I’m here to find you;
