Zang Jifang and other officials secretly exchanged glances, although he knew the absurdity in it, but no one acted rashly.

They have long been accustomed to slapping their beards and horses, even if Shangguan is talking nonsense here, they are all listening to hadiths on the side, how can they point out such mistakes?

Just when everyone was thinking about how to round the field, the corners of Xu Chen's mouth rose slightly, and he said directly with a big grin: "Lord Qincha, as far as I know, you have no right to transfer troops when you go south to rectify the salt government this time, right?" ”

Just as the civil officials of the previous dynasties admired the Zhou rites and were always eager to restore the order of the Zhou Dynasty, many periods or events in history always had a profound impact on future generations.

Because Song Taizu seized power by the military general Huang Pao, the Han dynasty after the Song Dynasty has always been jealous of military generals, so they implemented a policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force.

Even though the military power was held by civilian officials in this dynasty, the imperial court also had many precautions and constraints on civilian officials. If it weren't for Jiajing's suppression of the eunuchs, above the governors of various places, there would actually be a eunuch with greater authority.

Lin Haoran is just a salt patrol, although he represents the emperor to a certain extent, he can't do whatever he wants. Now if he wants to mobilize the army of the local guard, he not only needs a suitable reason, but also needs the power of the imperial court to transfer troops.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Haoran has no right to mobilize local troops at all, and it is undoubtedly a joke about clearing out the gang of Jiang Kou in Wusongjiang.

Zang Jifang and other officials were naturally aware of this, but they didn't expect to directly point out to Xu Chen, which made the atmosphere suddenly condense, and everyone obviously twisted towards Lin Haoran cautiously.

Lin Haoran seemed to feel embarrassed, took a sip of the wine glass, and looked at Xu Chen deeply with a tense face, his eyes obviously revealing unkindness.

Xu Chen had never set foot in officialdom at all, and he was not afraid of Lin Haoran, but in the face of Lin Haoran's anger, he smiled disapprovingly: "Lord Qincha's wine is probably too much!" ”

Zang Jifang and other officials didn't dare to take this talk, as if they didn't hear Xu Chen's words, they were just slightly uneasy in their hearts, and carefully and secretly observed Lin Haoran.

Lin Haoran put down the wine glass, looked at Xu Chen's body again, and said, "What does this matter have to do with you?" Asking like this, is it not related to those Jiang Kou? ”

This......

Zang Jifang and other officials secretly pinched a handful of sweat, but they didn't expect that this Lord Qincha's counterattack would be so sharp, which made the atmosphere around him suddenly become more tense.

In the flower hall, the other wine tables that accompanied them also stopped eating and drinking, and were already secretly paying attention to the changes here. A maid wanted to come forward to deliver wine, but at this moment she also stopped.

"Lord Chincha, please be careful! My Xu family has been taught by the second brother, and has always kept to himself, never referring to illegal things, let alone having dealings with Jiang Kou! Xu Chen immediately said with a gloomy face.

Lin Haoran's mouth rose slightly, and he said with disdain: "It's not necessarily your duty!" Ben Qin is here to discuss with you about the elimination of river thieves, and you just ask the grass people here, and even say that Ben Qin is drunk, so you are really not afraid that Ben Qin will punish you for a crime of disrespect? ”

Zang Jifang and other officials listened to these words, and turned their heads to look at Xu Chen helplessly.

Xu Chen can rely on his identity as Xu Jie's younger brother to be powerful in front of them, but in front of a high-ranking official like Lin Haoran, he doesn't know how to be proportionate, so he can only bring humiliation on himself.

Even if Lin Haoran is ten thousand wrong, it is not his turn to point it out, and he is so disrespectful to others, why should people give him face again?

"Lord Qincha, this member just kindly reminded your lord, don't buckle your hat indiscriminately!" Xu Chen knew that he was wrong, but he still refused to back down and argued.

Lin Haoran snorted coldly, and said aggressively: "Ben Qincha has decided countless cases, and he has already read people's rules and regulations, I think you obviously want to inquire about Ben Qincha's plan to suppress the Kou!" ”

This......

Zang Jifang and other officials secretly swallowed and foamed, and looked at Xu Chen sympathetically. Many people like to rely on the old and sell the old, but the one in front of him is clearly to deceive people with "ability".

During his tenure as the prefect of Leizhou, Guangzhou, and Shuntian, Lin Haoran cracked countless strange cases and unjust cases, and had already won the reputation of "good judgment". When he went south to Yangzhou this time, he cracked the case of "Chen Xiaoxiao", and people with good deeds gave him the reputation of "the first official in the world to judge cases".

Now he said that Xu Chen deliberately inquired about the plan to suppress the criminals, saying that this was because he had gained the ability to solve the case for many years, but the huge difference in identity between the two people, Xu Chen was afraid that it would be difficult for him to wash himself away.

But fortunately, this plan to inquire about the suppression of the Kou can be big or small, and it is unlikely to cause any substantial harm to Xu Chen.

"Which one is he singing?"

Zang Jifang observed Lin Haoran and couldn't help but ask himself.

Although Xu Chen should not directly single out Lin Haoran and did not have the right to transfer troops, Lin Haoran should not make such a fuss either. Not to mention that even if he is angry again, he will not have the right to transfer troops, and once the matter here is publicized, everyone will only accuse Lin Haoran of having no grace.

As for Xu Chen's inquiry about the "plan to suppress the Koukou", it was even more of a joke, Lin Haoran did not have the right to transfer troops, and this plan was impossible to talk about at all.

But before Xu Chen could speak, Lin Haoran took out a holy decree from his sleeve and said to Zang Jifang: "Zang Zhifu, this is a secret decree given by the emperor before Ben Qin left Beijing, you wait and take a look!" ”

Hey?

When everyone heard this, they saw the bright yellow holy decree in Lin Haoran's hand, and they were immediately attracted by the holy decree.

"Yes!" Zang Jifang was secretly shocked in his heart, and hurriedly bent down to take the holy decree with both hands, and responded respectfully.

Other officials also cast curious glances, and some even half-stood up, wanting to find out the specific content of this holy decree.

Zang Jifang glanced at the style and materials of the holy decree, and knew that this holy decree would not be false, and it was impossible for this Lord Qincha, who had the brightest future in the Ming Dynasty, to be stupid enough to risk such a thing.

He unfolded the holy decree and looked at it carefully for a while, and then solemnly asked Lin Haoran and said, "Lord Qincha, can you let you take a look!" ”

"This is a secret decree, let's take a look at the officials who are officials in the same court, and don't show it to irrelevant people!" Lin Haoran picked up the wine glass and said lightly.

You......

Xu Chen immediately heard that Lin Haoran was referring to him by "irrelevant people", but he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

After all, his status is mainly due to his second brother who served as the first assistant, but the other party dares not to treat him as a dish, then he is just a big landlord in Songjiang Mansion.
