"What?" In the backyard of Fanji Bank, the middle-aged man was so shocked that he dropped his teacup on the coffee table, and the tea splashed on him without even realizing it. His attention was only on Fan Fu, "You said that the current emperor raised the issue of investigating the internal affairs of the Qing Dynasty?"
"Back to the Second Master, yes." Fan Fujian nodded and replied with a serious face, "In the morning, the emperor personally admitted it, there should be no lies!"
After hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned and said: "How can the emperor stay in the palace and have a keener sense of smell than the courtiers outside? This is impossible! Tell me everything about the morning court from beginning to end! "
"Yes, Mr. Second!" Fan Fu agreed, and then explained in detail what he knew, and also talked about the refugee camp.
In the process of listening, the middle-aged man had slowly adjusted his mentality and was not as shocked as he was at first. However, he did not bother to wipe the tea on his clothes. He just frowned and listened to Fan Fu's story.
After a long while, after listening, he seemed to be slightly relieved and said: "From what I can see, the emperor does not seem to insist that there is an internal agent in the Qing Dynasty. What the censors said, and the Yangge Department Their statement should be effective, and it seems that the money was not wasted. However, we still cannot let down our guard on this matter!"
Having said this, he stared at Fan Fu and said: "Now the civil and military officials should be very wary of Dongchang, and they don't want to see Dongchang fans running around again. In this way, after the government is dismissed, you can go Find Mr. Liu and let him add fuel to the flames in Dongchang. As long as this matter becomes big, no one will care about the Qing internal affairs."
"Yes, Second Master!" Fan Fu quickly agreed.
The middle-aged man was still uneasy. After thinking about it, he added: "Also, after all, Dongchang has a reputation for evil. If possible, don't let Mr. Liu rush to the front. We have a lot of money on him, but It can’t be folded.”
Fan Fu naturally knew that his family spent a lot of money on promoting Liu Meicai to the position of imperial censor, and that he had been training Liu Meicai since he was a scholar. A lot of money and hard work had been spent on him. It can be said that Liu Meicai is truly one of her own and cannot be easily folded in.
After he agreed, the middle-aged man said thoughtfully: "Recently, there have been rumors that reinforcements have arrived. I don't know whether this news is true or not. You should check it again!"
"Second Master, at least Qin soldiers can't arrive in the capital so quickly. I think it's just a rumor!" Fan Fu answered quickly after hearing this.
After hearing this, the middle-aged man shook his head and said: "There is no smoke without fire. These news must have come from a source. As for the Qin soldiers, it is possible that the news was distorted when the news was spread."
Speaking of this, he suddenly sighed again: "Brother told me before that the more the Qing Dynasty robs the pass, the more generous the Qing Emperor will be and we will earn more. We still have to deal with this matter. Heart!"
"I understand!" Fan Fu heard this and quickly replied, "I will pay attention to this. If reinforcements really come, I will send someone to contact them immediately so that they can be prepared. Nothing will happen."
The middle-aged man listened, nodded, and after talking for a while, he let Fan Fu go. Only then did he realize that his clothes were splashed with tea, and he began to call people outside to come in and serve him.
Not to mention his side, let's talk about Cao Huachun, who was already in a hurry to see Emperor Chongzhen.
After seeing the ceremony, Cao Huachun bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have found out that the leader of those who went to the refugee camp to make trouble and show power was the second son of Wu Dading, deputy commander of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division. They snatched away civilian girls. Playing around, getting tired of playing, or playing to death, and then just abandoning it on the street is really lawless! "
Upon hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was a little stunned. He didn't expect that the leader of all the brightly dressed and angry horses was just the son of a mere seventh-grade deputy commander of the Nancheng Army and Horses Division. It seems that these officials are rich!
When he came back to his senses, he became angry again: "These scum want to play with women. Is there no place for fireworks in the capital? They actually despise human life and are lawless. Okay, okay, okay..."
Emperor Chongzhen said "good" three times in a row, obviously very angry.
Cao Huachun listened, but there was not much anger in his heart. The emperor in the palace might not be able to imagine this kind of thing, but he could guess it at once.
Younger brothers with higher social status will disdain unkempt refugees because they will lose their status, but the sons of these low-level officials, especially those who are not legitimate sons, will not be so particular. And the most important thing is that if you go to the land of fireworks to play with women, you have to pay for it, but the women you snatch away don’t need any money at all, and they can still enjoy the pleasure of being on top and playing with human lives in the palm of your hand!
With this in mind, he said softly, adding fuel to the fire: "Your Majesty, according to the confessions of those young men, they said they like to see the youthful fear of those civilian girls, and talk about women from the land of fireworks. They have two completely different flavors. After you’re done, just throw it on the street and no one will care.”
"Okay, okay, okay!" Emperor Chongzhen was extremely angry. Just when he was about to order Dongchang to be punished and kill these scum, he suddenly controlled his temper again, changed the subject, and immediately ordered Cao Huachun, " Forward the confession and the person to the Ministry of Punishment, and let the Ministry of Punishment publicly impose the sentence in accordance with the law. Dongchang will observe and report the result to me."
Hearing this, Cao Huachun couldn't help but be startled. The emperor was obviously very angry just now, how could he control it all at once?
Thinking this way, he was a little frightened. An angry emperor who cannot control his temper is actually easy to serve, but an emperor who can control his temper and make decisions at any time is difficult to serve.
When Cao Huachun came to this conclusion, he couldn't help but secretly remind himself that he must be careful in front of the emperor in the future.
"By the way, the decree was sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Shuntian Prefecture Yin. They had to send people to listen and let them see that such inhumane things happened at the emperor's feet and they didn't know how to avenge them. What did they do for food?" Emperor Chongzhen said. Shi added, taking a look at Cao Huachun and saying dissatisfiedly, "The factory guards are my eyes and ears, you should also pay attention!"
Cao Huachun was shocked and quickly agreed. Then, he did not dare to be negligent and immediately knelt down and reported again: "Your Majesty, Yushi Liu Meicai impeached Wu Dayong, a subordinate of slave servant. I have found out that it is true and have now captured it. slave servant If you are guilty of dereliction of duty, your Majesty, please punish me!"
Emperor Chongzhen looked at him and did not speak immediately, which made Cao Huachun feel a little scared.
He originally thought that this matter of his subordinates could be turned into a big deal and a trivial matter. After all, this kind of thing is really not too common for his subordinates. If he makes trouble, everyone under his command will be in danger, and if more things are revealed, his face will not look good.
However, facing the current emperor, especially when he felt that the emperor seemed to be more difficult to serve, he did not dare to take this risk and decided to tell the truth.
