Fang Zi'an said, "Lord Zheng, Lord Xia just had an accident, and the lower officials talked behind his back, isn't it not too authentic?"

Zheng Xie frowned and said: "What is this, this is related to official business, as long as it is not deliberately slandered and framed." ”

\Mi\Mi\Read\Read\a \iiread\

Fang Zi'an nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll know everything." Although Xia Guan has not been in office for a long time, he has heard a lot of things about Lord Xia. The following words are all hearsay from the lower officials, and there is no real evidence, and this section should be made clear to adults. ”

Zheng Xie frowned and said, "Okay, okay, you can get to the point." ”

Fang Zi'an then told everything he knew about Xia Liangdong's withholding of military salaries, embezzlement of empty salaries, extortion, robbery while the fire was burning, and so on. Of course Zheng Xie knew these things, he looked shocked, but he was not shocked because of these things, but shocked that Fang Zi'an knew so much. It shows that Xia Liangdong did not shy away from these things at all, and he did not hide them at all, and everyone knew about it. I didn't expect this guy to be so negligent, it's really annoying.

"Lord Zheng, these are the actions of Lord Xia that the lower officials know. The lower officials have not been confirmed, these may be rumors, or they may all be true, whether they are true or not, the lower officials have no way of knowing. However, there is one thing that the lower officials do not believe. That is why Lord Xia said more than once in front of everyone that he and Lord Zheng are brothers, and that everything he does is approved by you, Lord Zheng. I don't believe this, how could Master Zheng know about these nonsense things, and how could he condone these traitorous things. Fang Zi'an said at the end.

"Bastard thing, how can you get involved with this official Xia Liangdong really said this bastard thing in public, how could this official condone and allow him to do these things is extremely hateful, is he crazy and involved in this official." Zheng Xie scolded angrily.

Fang Zi'an hurriedly said, "Lord Zheng, the lower officials understand that he is talking nonsense. The lower officials said in front of him that he was pulling the tiger skin of the adults as a banner, and used the name of the upper officials to suppress everyone. For this reason, Xia Guan also had a very unpleasant quarrel with Lord Xia. ”

Zheng Xie nodded and said, "Yes, yes, he just wants to use his official to scare you." This Xia Liangdong is really damned. Dare to hide from Shangguan and act so recklessly below. Bastard thing, really betrayed the trust of the imperial court. ”

Fang Zi'an said, "Yes, Lord Xia has really gone too far in some things. Even his brother's money and silver were deducted, and the soldiers below were really complaining. The lower officials are worried that if the Criminal Investigation Department comes to investigate the fire case this time, it will turn the bottom up. When the time comes, it won't look good up and down. Master Zheng must be prepared in his heart. When the lower official first joined the office, he didn't understand some of the implications in it, but he just felt that it was very inappropriate. ”

Zheng Xie nodded heavily and said, "It's not proper, of course it's inappropriate, it's very inappropriate." This official does not want to cover up what Xia Liangdong did, what he did should be exposed and punished. But now that he's dead, it's gone. Recruit people to find out what he did, and the things that damage the face of our fire administration yamen are the same, and the bad thing is the decency of our fire administration yamen. Don't let anyone else see the joke. The gang of people in the Lin'an Anti Criminal Division are afraid that the world will not be chaotic, they are eager to make a big case to invite themselves for credit, they must not be allowed to do this, they want to step on the face of my fire government yamen and climb up, how can this be reasonable. ”

Fang Zi'an said, "The lower officials also agree with what the adults said. However, we can't seem to stop that Song Ti from being punished. ”

Zheng Xie thought for a while, and said in a deep voice, "This matter is handled by the official, what you have to do is to tell the people under the yamen that it is better to keep a tight mouth, and don't talk too much." Don't let that guy sneak in and find out some gossip and hear something that shouldn't be heard. ”

Fang Zi'an smacked his lips and said, "My lord, the lower officials are just a master, and they are newcomers, so they may not be willing to listen to my constraints." ”

Zheng Xie said in a deep voice: "This official has ordered you to take over the post of the Yamen Defense Officer of the Lin'an Defense Army, and you are now the only chief officer of the Yamen." The official appointing official document to you, you call the leader of the tower below to announce it. If they dare not listen, they are disobeying military orders. ”

Fang Zi'an hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you, sir, then I will be able to do things." However, Xia Guan still had a reluctant request. ”

Zheng Xie said, "You say." ”

Fang Zi'an said, "If you want to shut up the brothers below, the lower officials think that in addition to coercion, you have to give them some favors." Lord Xia had deducted the silver taels from many of them before, and if they could return these silver taels to them, they would definitely feel happy, and they would not be dissatisfied and talk nonsense. ”

Zheng Xie nodded and praised, "Okay, Enwei and Shi, that's right." That's it. ”

Fang Zi'an said, "My lord, this silver"

Zheng Xie said, "Tomorrow, the Japanese official will allocate two thousand taels of silver to you, is this enough?"

Fang Zi'an said, "Plus the few hundred taels of silver in the yamen account, it should be enough." ”

Zheng Xie gritted his teeth and said, "That's it, I'll dial three thousand taels for you tomorrow." Silver is a small matter, the main thing is to stabilize the soldiers below. Understand?"

"Xia Guan understands." Fang Zi'an.

Zheng Xie thought for a while and said, "There is another thing, how to unify a reason, so that those boiling rumors cannot be passed on indiscriminately." The people in the yamen must have a clear statement on this matter, so that the people in our own yamen will not speculate wildly, which will make others talk even more nonsense. ”

Fang Zi'an thought for a while and said, "Xia Guan understands, Xia Guan has an idea, I don't know if it can be done." ”

Zheng Xie said: "That's it." ”

Fang Zi'an said, "The lower officials summoned the backbone of the yamen and told them that Lord Xia went to Zhangjia Restaurant to fight the fire and died. In this way, we can not only put an end to those meaningless speculations and rumors about our defense army yamen, but also greatly improve our image. Best of both worlds. What do you think, sir?"

Zheng Xie slapped his thigh and praised, "Wonderful." Kill two birds with one stone, get the best of both worlds. Xia Liangdong did not die in vain, and the fire administration yamen came out of the people who sacrificed themselves and forgot to die, and they turned passive into active. The official is also more confident. Good, good, good. Fang Zi'an, you are really a talent. How did you come up with this. ”

Fang Zi'an hurriedly said, "My lord's false praise, in fact, this may not be the speculation of the lower officials, maybe it is the truth." Lord Xia may really be a hero who died fighting fires. I thought of this possibility when I was on fire. Maybe Lord Xia was close to the left when the fire started, so they rushed to put out the fire. Maybe everyone rushed into the fire to put out the fire, but at that time, the restaurant collapsed and was all crushed inside, so they were all killed. Xiaguan is not making things up, there is such a possibility. ”

Zheng Xie smiled: "That's what I said." The official felt that it was not possible, but that it must be so, and it must be so. ”

Fang Zi'an smiled, "Yes, it must be so." ”

After Zheng Xie left, Fang Zi'an immediately sent people to the garrisons of the Wanghuo Tower Defense Army to call more than 20 tower commanders and more than 60 teams of the submarine fire team to the yamen for a meeting. At noon, everyone arrived. Fang Zi'an held a meeting in the courtyard and announced three things.

The first thing was the news that Xia Liangdong and more than a dozen guards of the Yamen of the Defense Army bravely fought the fire and were martyred. Fang Zi'an said with a nose and eyes that according to the description of witnesses close to Zuo, when the fire broke out that night, Lord Xia and a team of brothers happened to be inspecting the fire prevention facilities and the patrol shops on the east bank of the West Lake. Seeing the fire, they rushed to Zhangjia Restaurant to put out the fire as soon as possible. There were people trapped in the restaurant, and they rushed into the fire to save people, but at that time, the restaurant collapsed and they were all stuffed inside. This is the cause of death of Lord Xia and a group of brothers, which has been reported to the Fire Administration Yamen, and the Fire Administration Yamen has confirmed it.

Everyone was surprised when they heard the news, and the news of Xia Liangdong's death had already spread within the yamen. Everyone is speculating about his death, all kinds of speculation, but no one guesses that he is a hero who died fighting fires. Hearing Fang Zi'an say this, he naturally felt surprised and shocked. Although there are some doubts, at least I have a definite statement.

"Lord Xia died to fight the fire, and he is a model for my defense army. I believe that Shangguan and the imperial court will be rewarded. This is the honor of our defense forces, and no one can slander or tarnish it. Some people want to slander heroes, and it will never be tolerated. From now on, anyone who still makes noise or speculates indiscriminately will be severely punished. Fang Zi'an shouted in a deep voice.

Everyone hurriedly agreed. Fang Zi'an announced the second thing. It is the matter of acting as the head of the yamen of the defense officer. In fact, there is not much controversy in this matter, even if Fang Zi'an does not act as the chief official, he is the biggest official in the yamen, and he can only be the main officer. What Fang Zi'an said incidentally is the point, Fang Zi'an told everyone that even if Lord Xia is gone, he will not change the original appointment of Lord Xia, and the appointment of all team members and tower leaders will remain unchanged, as long as they do their own things at this moment and don't make any extraneous branches. These words reassured many leaders who were worried because of Xia Liangdong's death.

The third thing is about the return of the detained soldiers' salaries, Fang Zi'an told everyone that after they go back, they will convey that all the detained soldiers' salaries will be reissued after verifying them one by one. From now on, no unjustified deduction of military pay is allowed. When the leaders heard this, a thought surged in their hearts that the sky had changed, Lord Xia was dead, and under the rule of Lord Fang, everything was going to change. There are some things that I used to do, I'm afraid I can't do anymore.

After the meeting, Fang Zi'an sat in the empty lobby drinking tea, his brain was hot and swollen, but his mood was much more relaxed. The development of the matter is satisfactory to Fang Zi'an, and using Zheng Xie to come forward to prevent the investigation of the Criminal Division is a clever move. After all, as soon as Xia Liangdong died, if the Criminal Investigation Division came to investigate in detail, he would be the one he was most afraid of, because there were inextricable interests between him and Xia Liangdong. So with just a little teasing, Zheng Xie couldn't help but take the initiative and agree to all his arrangements.

Now it depends on whether Zheng Xie has the ability to stop that Song Xiang from continuing to investigate from a higher level.
