Seeing Chen Long's appearance, Wai Lang, a member of the Criminal Department, became less timid and more angry, and said: "Chen Langzhong, Chen Bingtao is just a person, what qualifications does he have to ask the headquarters to go to the palace to ask for a decree, could it be that Chen Shilang is also involved in the case?" ”

"Presumptuous!"

Chen Long scolded loudly and said, "My brother is a member of the imperial court, how can you accuse him at will!" You are slandering the important ministers of the court, can you know the sin!? ”

Wai Lang, a member of the Criminal Department, glanced at the increasing number of people watching around, knowing that he must not delay any longer, and said in a deep voice: "Chen Langzhong, this official of the Chen Mansion really can't trespass, but if it is really reported by the headquarters, it will not be a lower official." ”

Chen Long was disdainful and said: "If you have the ability, you can ask for a decree, I'll see if your criminal department can offend the Ministry of Industry for a small disappearance case!" ”

The Ministry of Industry is now the base camp of the 'old party', headed by Shangshu Wang Cun, and the rest are mostly the 'old party'.

If it is reported, it may be another 'old and new' party dispute.

In the face of Chen Long's toughness, the criminal department member Wailang had no way, and it was not a trivial matter to forcibly break into the mansion of the Ministry of Works, he raised his hand and turned around to leave.

Just after walking a few steps, someone suddenly said lightly: "Slow." ”

I saw a middle-aged man in regular clothes walking over with a cold face.

When Wai Lang, a member of the Criminal Department, saw it, he hurriedly raised his hand and said, "Xia Guan has seen Chen Shilang." ”

The right waiter of the Ministry of Works, Chen Xun.

"Big brother." Chen Long walked over quickly and said indifferently: "These people are here to arrest your son." ”

Chen Xun glanced at him, earned a look at the criminal department member Wailang, and said, "The evidence is conclusive, Xiao'er is indeed involved in the case?" ”

Wai Lang, a member of the Criminal Department, looked serious and said, "Yes." Some people testified that the family complained that Chen Bingtao was arrested on the street, and Kaifeng Mansion also had a case file. ”

Such a very clear case could have been easily solved and saved in the past, but why didn't it go unchecked?

Everyone understands this.

Chen Xun said: "Chen Long, bring that son out." ”

Chen Long's face changed suddenly, and he said, "Big brother, you want to hand over people to them?" ”

Chen Xun was expressionless and said, "Do you want me to say it a second time?" ”

Chen Xun was anxious, glanced at a group of people, approached and whispered: "Big brother, if they take Bingtao away, they don't know how it will work, where is this arrest, it is clearly aimed at you and the Ministry of Industry!" ”

Chen Xun's voice was a little louder, and he said, "Come on, bring out that son of a, and bring out all the family members involved." If this son of evil is really guilty, I don't recognize this son, and it has nothing to do with my Chen Mansion! ”

After Chen Xun finished speaking, he shook his hand and left directly.

Chen Long still didn't understand, his intuition was frightened, and he no longer dared to stop it.

He knew that his eldest brother was the most protective of his shortcomings, and when people came to the door to arrest his son, he would never agree in normal times, and even go to court, so easily he would be soft, and most of the time there was enough pressure on him to be soft!

With Chen Hu's words, Chen Long no longer stopped him, and not long after, a young man was tied up and sent out.

He was followed by a large group of women and children, one of whom was a graceful and luxurious woman of more than forty people, wiping her tears and saying: "Son, don't be afraid, there is a mother, no one can do anything to you, your father doesn't care, the mother will go back to her mother's house, don't be afraid, don't be afraid......"

There was also a gray-haired old lady in her sixties, who followed on crutches, and said: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, grandmother is still alive, your dead ghost father doesn't care about the Chen family, I'll take care of it, after he comes back, I will definitely force him to save you, don't be afraid, don't be afraid......"

There is also a group of women crying and crying, depending on their age, either Chen Bingtao's sister or his wife and concubine.

Chen Bingtao cried even more, turned his head as hard as he could, and cried: "Mother, grandmother, you must save me, I don't like the cell, there are too many insects and ants, I can't stand it......"

A group of women hurriedly comforted and cried all the way.

Chen Long was on the side, his face was sinking like water, and he couldn't say a word.

Even his eldest brother was soft, and he couldn't meddle until he figured it out.

Wai Lang, a member of the Criminal Department, glanced at Chen Long, then looked at the golden plaque of Chen's mansion, and waved his hand: "Take it away!" ”

The official of the Criminal Department rushed forward and escorted Chen Bingtao and several family members away.

In front of Chen Fu, he suddenly cried even louder.

The onlookers pointed and pointed, and the discussion gradually became louder.

"The Criminal Department is really moving this time, even Chen Yanei dares to arrest it?"

"Don't you see? Just now, Chen Shilang personally spoke, this is to kill his relatives in righteousness......"

"Bah, if he can really kill his relatives in righteousness, what did he do a few years ago?"

"Hey, I heard that over the years, everything that Chen Yanei has taken a fancy to has either been robbed to the house or raised outside, and there have been many homicides......"

"I bet this Chen Yanei will be released in three days at most."

"That's right, it's not that he hasn't been arrested before, the officials protect each other, his father is a waiter in the Ministry of Works, so my Mrs. Chen's mother-in-law is ......"

"I don't think it's possible, now the court has changed, but it's not ...... before"

"What has changed, not all of them are officials, then Mrs. Chen's maiden name is Han, and when she was in the boudoir, the eldest lady with Li Shangshu was Sister Jinlan...... With this relationship, how long can this Chen Yanei be imprisoned? ”

The Gaomen surnamed Han in the Great Song Dynasty is second to one of Han Qi's branches, and the former privy envoy Han Zhongyan is the son of Han Qi, not long after he was in the court, Han Qi's niece and son-in-law, Li Qingchen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

According to many people's predictions, Li Qingchen's visit to the prime minister is a matter of time.

Two generations, three phases!

With Fan Zhongyan's Fan family, not to mention much!

There were more voices from the onlookers, analyzing the situation in the DPRK and the relationship network between the DPRK and China, speculating how long Chen Bingtao could be managed.

Listening to these voices, Wailang, a member of the Criminal Department, sneered to himself, how could the changes in the court be seen casually by outsiders.

At the same time that Chen Bingtao was arrested, many officials in the government and the opposition were arrested, both men and women, all of whom were involved in various old cases that had been suppressed since Zhao Xu came to power.

At the same time, the Inspection Division, the Imperial City Soldiers and Horses Division, and even the Praetorian Guards are all cooperating to eliminate all bandits inside and outside Kaifeng City.

The Imperial Historical Observatory, the Criminal Department, the Military Department, and the Ministry of Officials quickly formed cross-departmental cooperation, and the big net opened up is getting bigger and denser.

Kaifeng Prefecture participated in it, and it was half the main force, and the other half of the main force issued a document to the counties under its jurisdiction, strictly ordering 'cracking down on lawlessness, cleaning up fraudulent cases, upholding justice, and appeasing the people'.

It's just that in just half a day, Kaifeng City was suddenly cleared, and in the prison of the Criminal Department, shouting injustices to break through the dungeon.

On the second day, the Sixth Ministry, together with the Yushitai and Kaifeng Mansion, jointly went to the political affairs hall, believing that 'at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the first good district is still like this, and the world can know it', and implored that 'take the people's will as the priority, punish the evil and promote the good first, gather the strength of the court and the people, eliminate the lawbreakers, and reshape the Langlang Qiankun'......

The political hall held a meeting on the same day and determined that this action was 'important in advance', 'important', and 'first'!

Then, the 'Punishment Order' was promulgated, with the Criminal Department as the lead, the local governors and yamen as the implementation, and the prefect and county government yamen working together to clean up the evil and promote the good.

The official newspapers of the political affairs hall were sent out one after another, first informing the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion, and then severely reprimanding the officials at all levels during the seven years of Yuan You before Zhao Xu's pro-government, "people are superficial, inactive, upright, not practical, poems and texts have been handed down, and there are many bones".

This rebuke is really heart-wrenching and makes many people ashamed.

Subsequently, the official report of the political affairs hall added specific and detailed powers and responsibilities to the definition of the governor's yamen, and at the same time, it was clearly stipulated that the governors of all walks of life had a veto power: all officials who were impeached by the governor and opposed to promotion were agreed by the government affairs hall and were not reviewed.

Although the official newspaper of the political affairs hall added a special note of 'urgent follow-up, for a period of two years', when the meeting was held, it still caused a lot of controversy, but fortunately, Zhao Xu appeared in time and suppressed their arguments.

On the way back to the vertical arch hall, Zhao Xu and Zhang Dian said with a smile: "Now that the real power of the governors of various roads is increasing, there must be no less trouble in the future. ”

As the powers of the governors increase, so do the obligations. In the past, the local government was simply a flying kite, staring at the court when there was something, but now it is shackled, and with a top boss, I am afraid that the spearhead will be turned.

Zhang Duan followed Zhao Xu's side, his eyes were sharp, his tone was calm, and he said: "The governor yamen has robbed them of their power, and they want to force them to do things, and no one will easily agree, the minister estimates that at least half of the governors of all walks of life will be broken and sunk in the sand, and the other may be overhead, and there will not be a few who can hold on." ”

Zhao Xu raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Then the Qing family still sent them?" ”

Zhang Dian bowed down and said bluntly: "The minister has been an official from the local government, and he has been exiled for seven years, and he has a deep perception, if you want to break this situation, you need someone to overcome all obstacles and be prepared to sacrifice." The fate of the ministers in the future has long been predicted, and it will not be better than them. ”

Zhao Xu paused, looked at him, then turned his head to look at the vertical arch hall, and said with a smile after a moment: "Throughout the ages, those who have achieved great things, regardless of themselves and the future, the Qing family has this quality." Having said that, I can let Su Song and the others return to their hometown in peace, and I can also let you enjoy your old age in peace. Those dozen governors, as long as they have no problem, I will protect them. ”

Between these two monarchs and ministers who have a tacit understanding, they have always spoken frankly.

Zhang Dian bowed, was silent for a while, and said: "The minister knows that His Majesty has concerns about the comprehensive revival of the new law, and the government and the opposition are incomparable, and the minister still hopes that it can be revived next year, with the current situation of my Great Song Dynasty, even if there is chaos, it will not threaten the country." First, the people's hearts are desired, and chaos will not succeed; Second, the minister's head will at least calm down half of the chaos. ”
