Xiaohu scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
"Sometimes, after working at a fried chicken restaurant all day and my body feels weak, I will come to heaven and earth to ask someone to help me press the button. I swear I have never been to the second or even third floor!"
Mao Xiang put his arm around Xiaohu's shoulders and said very understandingly: "The water in these places is too deep on the second and third floors. You are still young and can't control it, so you still have to let me do it!"
With that said, Mao Xiang led Xiaohu towards the heaven and earth.
"Sir, we are in office hours now, go at this time..." Xiaohu said quickly.
"What nonsense are you talking about? We have been ordered to investigate now. If we go to a place like heaven and earth, if I don't go to hell, who will?" Mao Xiang had been in the sky prison for half a year and was already hungry. After Xiaohu said this, how could he still go to hell? I can bear it!
"But, there are so many people lined up, we don't know how long we have to wait if we want to get in." Xiaohu said worriedly.
"Queue? When have we, the Jin Yiwei, queued up to do things? You just have to keep an eye on it!" After saying that, Mao Xiang raised his head and chest, crossed the long queue, came to the front of the queue, and was about to walk in.
At this time, he was stopped by a thick arm.
"This guest... If you want to enter the heaven and earth, please queue up!" The burly thug stopped at the door and said calmly.
People in line also shouted at Mao Xiang and Xiaohu.
"Where do people who don't know the rules come from?"
"Don't you know you have to queue up?"
"Come first, tell later, don't you understand this most basic principle?"
"Hurry up and get in line behind you!"
"Who are you who dare to join the queue in heaven and earth?"
First he was stopped, and then he was ridiculed by the crowd. Mao Xiang's face was gloomy, "Do you know who I am?"
"I am Si Qianshi, Shandong's envoy for punishment and inspection, and I have been ordered to patrol this heaven and earth. Who of you dares to stop me!"
Jin Yiwei is still a spy, so in order to facilitate his work, Mao Xiang gave himself a public identity just to use it at this time.
Normally.
As long as he reveals his identity, he will immediately shock the entire audience and no one will dare to stop him.
There are two capitals and thirteen provinces in the Ming Dynasty. At the provincial level, there are also the Provincial Envoys' Department, the Provincial Envoys' Department, the Provincial Envoys' Department, and the Capital Command and Envoys' Department, which respectively control government affairs, criminal names, and military affairs. The three departments stand in a tripartite position, which can prevent the expansion of local power. But it can also cause disadvantages.
The prosecutor-general responsible for the punishment of a province is responsible for correcting official corruption and violence, redressing prison cases, redressing grievances, and promoting moral integrity and clarifying the administration of officials. , soldiers and civilians benefit from illness and disease, and all have to be honest and correct, and have great power.
Even in order to prove the authenticity of his identity, Mao Xiang even took out the token of Si Qianshi, the prosecutor's envoy.
But the development of the matter surprised Mao Xiang.
The burly thug was still blocking the door, indifferent to this, which made Mao Xiang feel that he had taken a fake token.
But the other customers in line looked at him with half-smiling eyes.
Forehead....
so awkward!
Just when Mao Xiang was about to get angry.
The middle-aged man who was first in line spoke up, "Si Qianshi, the envoy for punishment and inspection, tsk tsk, is a fifth-grade official, a very big official!"
"Young man, I am the magistrate of Jizhou, Beizhili. I am a fourth-rank official. I am sorry that I am a little older than you."
Is this guy a fourth-grade prefect?
"I am Si Zuo Counselor, the envoy of the Northern Zhili Provincial Government, from the fourth rank." Another person stood up.
"This general is the commander of the Qianshi in the Northern Zhili City. I am of the third rank." This man is tall and tall, with a strong back and a strong waist.
Oops!
All of them are high-ranking officials!
The little tiger behind him quickly pulled Mao Xiang and whispered: "Boss, I forgot to tell you. Since the restoration of heaven and earth, the reputation has become more and more widespread. Many officials from North Zhili and even Shandong are famous. That is I want to try this taste of heaven and earth!”
"Let's wait in line at the back."
After listening to Xiaohu's explanation, most of Mao Xiang's fire was extinguished in an instant. With his head shrinking, he and Xiaohu came to the back of the queue.
"Xiaohu, this is your fault, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Mao Xiang muttered.
"Boss, I wanted to say it, but you walked too fast and I couldn't speak at all!" Xiaohu looked innocent.
"That's all." Mao Xiang waved his hand, "I'm not afraid of those people just now, I just don't want to cause trouble before the matter is investigated clearly, let alone expose my identity! Do you understand?"
"I understand, I understand, please rest assured, boss, I will never tell anyone about this matter!" Being able to join the Jin Yiwei showed some discernment, Xiaohu quickly expressed his stance.
Hearing this, Mao Xiang smiled again on his face.
I couldn't help but think in my heart, luckily it was him who came this time. If His Majesty the Emperor came here in person and saw these high-ranking officials lining up to enter the brothel one by one, I don't know what he would think.
After thinking about it, Mao Xiang took out a small notebook and wrote it all down.
"Xiaohu, you said the consumption in heaven and earth is so high, how can these officials afford it with their salaries?" Mao Xiang asked in a low voice.
"Boss, this matter has something to do with the consort Ouyang Lun." Xiaohu said softly.
"Oh!" Mao Xiang's eyes lit up. Could it be that there is a conspiracy among officials to form a clique for personal gain and accept bribes? !
"Hurry up and tell me! What did the consort Ouyang Lun do again?"
Although he has been released from Tianyao and returned to his post, Mao Xiang is still under great pressure. Now he has to achieve results. If he can catch the evidence that Ouyang Lun, the consort, has been corrupt and bribed, and formed a clique for personal gain, it will definitely be a great achievement.
So I can only feel sorry for my consort Ouyang Lun.
"Going back to the boss, since Ouyang Lun took office as the prefect of Yong'an Prefecture, he first summoned the county magistrates, chief registrars, and county magistrates of the counties under Yong'an Prefecture to announce official benefits. Officials can enjoy discounts on consumption, such as five taels per massage, and some After the official discount, they only need one tael, and they are also issued something called a voucher. With the discount plus the voucher, officials basically spend nothing to travel to heaven and earth."
Xiaohu said truthfully.
hiss--
Mao Xiang took a breath of cold air.
Isn't this just a big-name clique for personal gain?
Make a note of it decisively!
After finishing writing, Mao Xiang thought for a while, "Where can I get the voucher?"
"Of course it's the state government office. Boss, do you want it too?" Xiaohu asked curiously.
"Ahem, what are you talking about? I'm here to collect evidence!" Mao Xiang said seriously.
"Boss is wise!" Xiaohu nodded repeatedly.
The two of them chatted while lining up, and finally finished lining up and were able to enter the heaven and earth.
On the second day.
Mao Xiang and Xiao Hu walked out of heaven and earth early.
Mao Xiang turned around and glanced at the heaven and earth behind him with some reluctance, and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder so many people come and line up, this is really a man's paradise!"
Xiaohu also sighed: "It's just a bit expensive. I have to sell fried chicken for several days just to come here!"
"We are also officials, and we should also have benefits. Let's go to the government office!!" Mao Xiang waved his hand!
