The candlelight swayed, swaying the uncertain thoughts by the window.
Concubine Ning woke up, touched the cool bed beside her, got up and got out of bed, took out a green shirt from the screen, walked over slowly, put the green shirt on Zhu Yunwen, and said: "Still thinking about Zheng Zhi. thing?"
Zhu Yunwen put his arms around Concubine Ning, looked at the night sky through the window, and said, "Someone said that people will turn into shooting stars when they die, but I didn't see any shooting stars after watching it all night."
Concubine Ning felt Zhu Yunwen's slightly cool skin and whispered: "The science of astrology is too mysterious for me to understand, but if the emperor wants to continue waiting, then let me stay with you."
Zhu Yunwen glanced at Concubine Ning and used his arms harder.
Standing on a tree not far from the house, Xue Xia looked around and found nothing unusual. When the fourth watch arrived, Sun Dong came to take over.
Looking at Xue Xia jumping down, Sun Dong asked in a low voice: "Why are the lights still on in my house?"
Xue Xia said with red eyes: "I haven't slept all night, I'm afraid I'm still thinking about Zheng Zhi."
Sun Dong clenched his fist and gritted his teeth and said: "This guy is dead if he dies, and it actually makes me unable to rest well!"
"Stop pretending, there's no one else here."
Xue Xia sat on the stone bench, poured a cup of cold tea, and said: "Zheng Zhi is our brother of life and death. I personally promoted you and him. He made mistakes, and so did I. But I didn't expect that Wen Rouxiang Is it really that powerful, able to devour a strong-willed man?"
Sun Dong took out a document, handed it to Xue Xia, and said with some pain: "Hu Xin knew that he was hopeless. He bit many people and confessed many things. But the reason why Zheng Zhi was dragged into the water was not Because he was seduced by money and beauty, but was implicated by his two sons!"
After Xue Xia took it, he squinted a few lines under the starlight, closed it again, and said, "You better tell me!"
Sun Dong explained: "Hu Xin was able to control the local government in Suzhou for more than ten years, relying not only on interest ties, but also on clique formation. After the Security Bureau stationed in Suzhou, Hu Xin tried to win over Zheng Zhi several times, but Zheng Zhi was defeated. Zhi flatly refused.”
"Later, Hu Xin took a roundabout route and dragged Zheng Zhi's two sons into the water. The generation that went to the battlefield and the generation that enjoyed peace are incomparable in faith and will. In the famous prostitutes and casinos, Zheng Zhi's two sons This son has lost everything and still owes more than three thousand taels of silver."
Paying back debts is a matter of course, and this matter is also justified when it comes to the capital.
Xue Xia finally understood that it was not Zheng Zhi himself who had fallen, but his child who had been manipulated.
"So he turned a blind eye? So he didn't know that the people from the Security Bureau were bribed and didn't care about anything? Let me tell you, he is an idiot. If someone dares to trick the Security Bureau, why not just bring him in? Someone took care of him!”
Xue Xia looked angry and slapped the stone table.
Sun Dong sighed. The Security Bureau seemed to have good treatment and great power, but the internal rules and regulations were also very strict. One of them was that people from the Security Bureau and their families were not allowed to have relationships with officials.
Zheng Zhi's son broke the rules. Once this matter is known to the Security Bureau headquarters or Zhu Yunwen, it will definitely implicate Zheng Zhi. Even then, Zheng Zhi could escape from the security bureau, at least without losing his life.
Unfortunately, he chose concealment and compromise, official position and power, acquiescence and ignorance.

It was precisely because of his inaction that problems arose in the Suzhou Security Bureau branch. As a result, many of Hu Xin's affairs were covered up, and the court had no news at all.
Not investigating corruption, not asking about prison sentences, and not caring about cliques. These reasons were enough to make Zheng Zhi die eighteen times.
You must know that the people in the Security Bureau are not actually people from the imperial court, but Zhu Yunwen's people. They are directly responsible to Zhu Yunwen. If problems arise with these people, they will naturally be dealt with by Zhu Yunwen. There is no need to go through any judicial procedures or listen to anything. Minister's opinion.
Their lives only depended on Zhu Yunwen's will.
Xue Xia had followed Zhu Yunwen for a long time, so he naturally knew Zhu Yunwen's temperament. He wanted to rectify the Suzhou Security Bureau, but he did not want Zheng Zhi's life. It was just that Zheng Zhi had betrayed the emperor's favor and finally chose to commit suicide, and the newly appointed Fan Wen In order to rectify the branch of the Security Bureau, Liwei and Sanbohuo were added to beat up eight people related to Hu Xin, killing three of them.
Sun Dong looked at the angry Xue Xia and was speechless.
Xue Xia drank one cup after another until all the cold tea was finished, then he stood up and said: "Transfer those five brothers and their families to other places. I'm afraid there will be no good fruits if they continue to stay in Suzhou. Warn them, if anything happens again This time is not as simple as hitting a board!"
Sun Dong took a deep look at Xue Xia and raised his hands with a solemn expression.
There is a rule in the Security Bureau that is not allowed. There is only one punishment. If it is a beating, it is a beating. If it is an exile, it is an exile. Without the second rule, there will be no punishment of being beaten and exiled.
Since those five people survived, it means that they will not be kicked out of the security bureau, and everyone still regards them as their brothers.
But after all, these people carry black spots on their bodies. If others don't mind if they continue to stay in Suzhou, they themselves will feel burdened and uncomfortable all day long.
Since we still need to employ people, let’s change the place.
Xue Xia still cares about every brother in the security bureau as before. It is a comfortable thing to follow such a head.
At dawn, Zhu Yunwen, Ning Fei, Xue Xia and others took a boat down the river, passed through Wujiang and Jiaxing, and entered the territory of Hangzhou Prefecture.
Capital.
Xie Jin, Yu Xin, and Huang Zicheng were sitting in the cabinet, with some sadness on their brows.
Huang Zicheng held the tea bowl and blew it twice as usual. Then he remembered that it was cold tea, put the tea bowl down again, and said: "Your Majesty, the wind and cold are coming very hard this time. It has lasted for many days, and it has not improved at all."
Yu Xin sighed: "Before entering the palace today, I made a special trip to the Imperial College. I originally wanted to ask Envoy Dai to give the emperor a look and prescribe a prescription. But Envoy Dai was already lying on the bed and could not even speak. All gone."
Jie Jin stacked the documents on the desk and said to Yu Xin: "Dai Yuanzhang is already old, and he spent all his energy on new medical textbooks in the Imperial College. I heard from Yang Shiqi that he is looking forward to seeing the new medical textbooks now." Medical textbooks can be engraving and printed, and they are so popular in the world that I am reluctant to close my eyes."
Yu Xin and Huang Zicheng nodded repeatedly. They were still aware of Dai Yuanshi's contribution. The Imperial College of Medicine could be said to be a team built by Dai Yuanshi. Some famous private doctors were also invited by Dai Yuanshi. Now Dai Yuanshi is a patient. Unfortunately, it is a big loss for the Imperial College.
"According to Yu Zhen, the emperor's health is not serious, but he is too worried and tired from government affairs. He usually rides horses and shoots arrows, which causes his body to be leaky.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Branch needs to rest for more than a month, so we don’t need to worry too much. "
Yu Xin added.
Huang Zicheng frowned and said, "Even if we are resting in the cold, we should be allowed to go into the palace to have a good look. We haven't seen the emperor for many days, and I still feel uneasy."
Xie Jin took out a long piece of paper from the documents on the side, shook it between his fingers, and said: "Seeing words is like seeing people. Although the emperor is resting, he will always give us some instructions. With these approval notes, Nor are we unable to act.”
Yu Xin and Huang Zicheng nodded repeatedly.
While the emperor was recuperating, he seemed too lazy to write. The number of words in the note he wrote could only be described as one short word.
For example, five days ago, Song Li made a memorial requesting that winter clothing and construction materials be prepared in advance to ensure that the dredging of the river would continue without interruption during the winter. He specifically pointed out that the court should allocate a batch of new stoves and briquettes.
Yu Xin believes that the court should not be responsible for this matter. You must know that hundreds of thousands of people are building the river and buying stoves and briquettes. This is a huge expense. It is enough to prepare more cotton clothes and quilts for them. What do you want? stove.
Xie Jin disagreed, thinking that the winter in the North was extremely cold, especially at night, and the temperature was extremely low. There were reports of people freezing to death every year. The craftsmen and migrant workers worked for the imperial court, so what if they provided some stoves and briquettes for others? Compared with the overall situation of Huitonghe, it is not incomprehensible to have an extra few hundred thousand taels of silver.
The cabinet could not make a decision and sent the document to the palace.
On the second day, the palace handed over a piece of paper with only three words written on it:
Quan Jinyan.
Jin is naturally Xie Jin, which means that the cabinet can act according to Xie Jin's words on this matter.
Another example is that three days ago, Zhang Bing, the chief envoy of Peking, wrote a letter asking for 500,000 immigrants from Shanxi and 300,000 for Peiping alone to resettle the people around the city of Peiping.
Naturally, the cabinet had no objection to this matter and believed that this was a sign of Zhang Bing's responsibility. After all, resettling immigrants is a laborious task.
However, the cabinet still thought of things too simply. Within a day and a half, Jinghai, Xingji, Cangzhou, Nanpi, Dezhou and other places wrote letters to impeach Zhang Bing.
The reason is: seizing one's neighbor's people is a heinous crime.
Huang Zicheng thinks that these small places are really making a fuss out of a molehill. Zhang Bing is kind enough to take in immigrants. What are you messing around with in each small place?
But when Xie Jin took a closer look at the map, he discovered that the commotion in these places was not unreasonable. First of all, they had received the immigration quota distributed by the court. There were quotas for how many people a place would accept. How many people had they prepared? It's been months, and you just cut the targets when you say you want to cut them. Isn't that just chilling people's hearts?
Secondly, these places are towns on both sides of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Now the Shandong dredging project is in full swing. Even a fool knows how important this river will be in the future. The towns along the coast must seize the opportunity to become bigger and stronger. If they want to grow, Population is the first factor. The current surname Zhang is not authentic. If you want to rob people, don't do it!
Finally, the Great Hajj will be held in December this year. Now is the best time to make political achievements. The last train for the "Top 100 Counties and Top Ten Prefectures" is coming. Whether you can get on the train or not, the important thing is to try now. One handful, one punch, what if you win?
It is related to these local interests. What happened to the Chief Envoy of Peking? Although we are a small magistrate, we are not easy to mess with. If you dare to say something, don't take it back. We are ready to spit...
