"Have you been brought here?"
"almost there."
"Okay, I will judge the unruly people while drunk."
Zhu Ji, Liu Tong, a second-grade military attache and a third-grade military attache, was brought to the temporary official residence of the Inspector by a dozen boys.
Some civil disputes were tried directly in front of the inspector, which was neither legal nor reasonable. Zhu Ji and Liu Tong thought that this was just a matter of these young guys talking about the skin of a tiger, but they did not expect that they really went in.
And I saw the fat-headed and big-eared Lord Inspector.
The king has a heavy responsibility.
Before coming here, Zhu Ji had a full understanding of the chief officials of the three divisions of Zhejiang. Li Songbai, the chief political officer, was worthy of the name of the Salted Fish Gang. He was in his sixties. He did not seek merit, but sought no faults. He was a small rich man. An, was timid, and the commander of the capital was also an acquaintance of Zhu Ji, a distinguished minister of the imperial court, Ding An Bohuang Degong, who only dealt with military affairs, and because when he was in Chenghua for five years, he had seen the old guys in the capital who were cheating on their salaries. What happened? Even if he was transferred to a local area, he was extremely cautious. He only dealt with the military affairs of the local garrison and did not have much involvement in local affairs.
Furthermore, Wang Renzhong was the most important. According to Zhu Ji's investigation, among the three people, Wang Renzhong had the best official reputation. Regardless of the lower-level yamen, even the higher-level yamen, or the Nanjing Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Procuratorate spoke highly of him. high.
The Nanjing Ministry of Civil Service received all excellent scores in the three-year assessment, and he was evaluated as "an urgent official who is patient with the people, and has a clear mind. He is a virtuous official in Zhejiang."
The imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate commented on him: "A humble minister, a bright mirror in the court of Qin, should be rewarded with praise and punished with destruction."
When Zhu Ji saw Wang Renzhong for the first time, he felt that this guy was different from the evaluation he had read in writing.
With a shiny face and a fat head and big ears, is the inner world really so clean and tidy?
Under the plaque hanging high in the mirror, a fat man sat, and another fat man stood beside him.
Zhu Ji and Liu Tong were sizing up Wang Renzhong, and Wang Renzhong was also sizing them up.
They have a majestic air and their faces are not dark either. They don't look like businessmen, but they really look like two people who eat public food.
"Why don't you two kneel down when you see me?" Wang Renzhong cleared his throat and said, looking at Zhu Ji and Liu Tong. After hearing what he said, the two of them looked dull and unresponsive. They probably were also attracted by their own. Guan Wei was stunned.
He snorted again, trying to get these two people to react. In Wang Renzhong's opinion, these two people must be case investigators sent by the prefecture's yamen in other areas. But in Zhejiang Province, all criminal law matters are under his control. The prefect was also not easy to deal with, so even though he knew that the two men might be public officials, he did not restrain himself.
Zhu Ji glanced at Wang Renzhong and said, "How do we know you are the Inspector?"
"Hmph, that's ridiculous. This is a government office. If I weren't an official, how could I be sitting here interrogating you?"
"You said you were the Inspector, and you are. How could the Inspector drink in broad daylight, and how could he collude with unscrupulous businessmen?" Liu Tong said with a grin.
This sentence made Wang Renzhong feel a little confused.
"Contempting the court, being disrespectful to the officer, and using dirty words to slander the officer, I will first give him twenty slaps so that I can remember it for a long time, and then I will take him to jail and try again at a later date." After Wang Renzhong finished speaking, the four men Five government officials approached the two men, wanting to arrest them and increase their punishment.
But the shopkeeper standing next to Wang Renzhong was shocked. This, something big is going to happen. Who in Zhejiang does not know that the inspector is a drunkard and a lecherous person? They are public officials, but they dare to question like this in front of the hall. This shows that these two people are not afraid of the Inspector at all, and they are not from Zhejiang Province.
To handle the case in a different place, could it be that he came from Nanjing city?
Many government officials arrived in front of Zhu Ji and were about to take it.
Liu Tong was the first to attack, and a cold light appeared on his left hand. Then he jumped onto the desk and kicked Wang Renzhong down, who was sitting on the chair. After Wang Renzhong fell, he ate The pain was so intense that he almost couldn't breathe. Before he could react, he saw a sharp dagger appearing under his neck.
He had no doubt that with just one stroke, he would die.
Such a big change shocked the government officials in the hall.
They had seen it in the story books from Suzhou, but they had never seen it during their days as errands.
But Zhu Ji watched all this with a blank expression.
"You, you, be careful. You are still young and have a bright future. You cannot go on a criminal path that violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty." Wang Renzhong's face turned pale and he hesitated.
"All my wealth is gone, and my life is worthless. Tell me, where is my money? If you don't tell me, it would be worth dragging a high-ranking official to die with me." Liu Tong said fiercely.
"I am born with a talent that will be useful. A thousand pieces of gold will come back after all. Money is like dung. Kindness and justice are worth a thousand pieces of gold. You, you can't be sued for human life just because of a few pieces of silver." Wang Renzhong almost cried, but stood aside The fat shopkeeper also raised his hands high, thinking to himself: "Master Wang is indeed worthy of being a scholar. At this juncture, he still speaks well."
"Why do you talk so much nonsense? I have already put the knife on your neck. You will definitely die. I just want to understand where my money went before I die."
After Wang Renzhong heard these words, he also realized that his current situation was very dangerous. If he panicked, he would definitely die. He must be steady. As long as he didn't panic, there was still hope of survival.
At that moment, Wang Renzhong glanced at the fat shopkeeper and said, "All your money is in Xu Youzhen's temporary government treasury in Suzhou. If you want it, go and look for it there. It's all there."
After listening to Wang Renzhong's words, Liu Tong's dagger was already attached to his skin, and the cold feeling gave Wang Renzhong goosebumps all over his body.
"For the last time, I want to hear the truth."
"Don't be excited, don't be excited, listen to what I say..."
"I don't know where the money went, ah ah, but I know who it is related to. The person behind Ying Ning Tiancheng is Zhou Ninghuai, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Yesterday, the official met his son. I sent someone to kill him. Catch him, kill him, don’t kill me, I am also innocent.”
"Can a minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs ask you to work for him wholeheartedly? Can he afford so much money?"
The threat of death had caused Wang Renzhong to lose his ability to think. He dragged everything out...
"There are many officials in Yingtian Mansion's six departments, five offices, one hospital and one department who secretly colluded with Zhou Ninghuai. If he couldn't take it, this group of people would take it."
After listening to Wang Renzhong's words, Liu Tong glanced at Zhu Ji.
At this time, Zhu Ji also stepped forward, squatted beside Wang Renzhong, and took out the badge from his arms.
An ivory waistband as white as white jade.
The horizontal text is written by Jinyi's personal troops, and the vertical text is written by Zhu Ji, the commander.
Seeing this waist card, Wang Renzhong was instantly heartbroken.
For Jin Yiwei, the Feiyu suit is not often worn, and the Xiuchun knife is not often carried, but there is one thing that must be carried with him, and that is a waistband to prove his identity.
The lowest level of warriors and captains use wooden plaques with only titles but no names. Small flags, general flags, trial 100 households, and 100 households use bronze plaques. The shapes are slightly different and there are no names on them, only teams. Deputy Qianhu, Qianhu, and Zhenfu use silver medals, which are famous. It is famous for the use of ivory cards for commanding people to sign things, to know each other, and to command.
The highest level waist card of Jin Yiwei is the ivory card.
Most of the ivory cards can only be seen by officials above the fourth rank, and they are also real life-enhancing cards.
"Master Wang, don't make any noise. We will not kill you. As long as you lead us honestly and recover the debt, we can let you atone for your sins."
"Yes Yes Yes……"
