That night, in the courtyard where Zhang Pu was, someone suddenly threw something in, making a "pop" sound, which immediately attracted the attention of the Dongchang staff, and then, a crumpled paper was immediately sent to Jiang Dong, the head of the Dongchang stall.

After Jiang Dong looked at it, he frowned, feeling that this matter was a bit tricky.

This piece of paper said that he knew a lot of violations of law and discipline in the Qian family, and if the imperial court could correct Zhang Hanru's name, he could help Zhang Xun.

Although there is no signer on this piece of paper, Jiang Dong can probably guess that this should be written by the Zhang family in Changshu, that is, Zhang Hanru's family or clansman. However, this is not easy to do!

Zhang Hanru was killed by Cao Huachun, the former governor of Dongchang, of course, this must be an order, that is, it was ordered by the current emperor. Therefore, if the verdict of this matter is to be changed, the emperor will have to admit that he was wrong. Although everyone knows that the culprit of this incident must be the Qian family, who colluded with Cao Huachun and deceived the emperor to kill Zhang Hanru with a cane, and at the same time brought down Wen Tiren.

Of course, Cao Huachun can also be said to be deceived by the Qian family, but no matter what, if this case is to be overturned, it involves Qian Qianyi, Wen Tiren, Cao Huachun and the current emperor, this matter is too difficult!

Thinking about this, after thinking about it for a while, Jiang Dong sighed in his heart. He didn't know about the situation back then, this matter, for him, it was okay to involve other people, even if the current Dongchang Governor Wang Chengen was Cao Huachun's righteous son, it was not a big deal, after all, the emperor had shown his mouth, and he didn't like to have this kind of atmosphere of accepting righteous sons in the palace. But this matter also involves the emperor, so it will be difficult.

Jiang Dong finally decided not to tell Zhang Pu about this matter. If the Qian family really has so many violations of law and discipline, they will investigate it themselves, and they will not believe that they will not be able to find out.

When he got up early the next morning, his eyes were slightly red, and he could see that he hadn't slept soundly last night. However, he was in good spirits, and after a little breakfast, he went out under the leadership of Jiang Dong and others.

But to Zhang Pu's surprise, as soon as he entered the yamen, he found that something was wrong, and there seemed to be no one. After entering the yamen, this feeling became more and more obvious.

When he arrived at the yamen hall, Pan Xiuwen, the magistrate of the county, hurriedly came out to greet him, and only brought one family member with him, and said to Zhang Pu with a bitter face: "My lord, yesterday evening, all the officials took leave, saying that there was something at home, and even the classics and histories could not find anyone.

When Zhang Pu heard this, he couldn't help but be furious. This is not clear, I want to investigate the affairs of the Qian family today, but these officials even avoided the classics, so that he has no manpower to use.

"The Qian family is really covering the sky in Changshu!" He laughed angrily and said sharply, "This official doesn't believe it, can his Qian family be bigger than the imperial court?" A dismissed official can still turn the sky upside down? ”

Speaking of this, he stared at Pan Xiuwen and shouted: "You are limited to one hour, and I will call for the official to listen to it, if there are not enough people, don't be the county commander!" ”

As soon as he heard this, Pan Xiuwen, who was still weak just now, suddenly became tough, and immediately responded to Zhang Pu: "Such a great majesty, my lord feels that the subordinate officials are incompetent, although the impeachment of the official is, everyone is hiding from it, is it possible that the official himself is divided into ten, and a hundred are useless for you?" ”

After saying that, he actually threw up his sleeves and prepared to leave.

"You ......" Zhang Pu heard this, saw him turn around, and for a while, he was so angry that he couldn't even speak.

At this moment, he really felt Qian Qianyi's energy in the place, and there were some things that he still wanted to be simple.

Seriously, he couldn't do anything about Pan Xiuwen's scoundrel-like approach. Because his errand is not for Pan Xiuwen, the power in his hands can only impeach the magistrate. The specific rewards and punishments for magistrates still have to be given by the imperial court. An official like the Changshu County Decree is to be dealt with by the ministry, and of course, it is no problem for the emperor to intervene.

Just when Zhang Pu was extremely angry, Jiang Dong on the side said coldly: "If you dare not cooperate, believe it or not, I will let you taste the power of my East Factory immediately?" ”

As soon as the word "Dongchang" was spoken, Pan Xiuwen's leg that he had just lifted couldn't get out, and his body, as if someone had immobilized him, suddenly remained motionless.

Now more than ten years have passed since the most arrogant era of factory guards during the Apocalypse. Even in the early years of Chongzhen, the factory guards were confined to the yaya and could not go out. Since last year, the factory guard has been active again.

According to rumors, the emperor knows everything about the outside world, and can even know a lot of secret things, which is all due to the factory guards.

In other words, the factory guard has been reused by the emperor! And with the original authority of the factory guard, there is really no need to ask the Ministry of Officials or anything, for a seven-grade county order like him, he will be arrested. And the methods of the East Factory are also quite ferocious.

Pan Xiuwen himself felt that he was not hard enough to be able to fight against Dongchang, and secretly complained in his heart, but he had to turn around, showing a look of embarrassment: "This stall head, it's not that the lower official doesn't want to do things, but this ......, the stall head should also be able to see it, and now here in the county office, there is almost only the lower official left." Xia Guan is not a local, and it has only been a year since he took office, so in a hurry, it is really difficult to find people! ”

Zhang Pu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that as soon as Jiang Dong came forward, he made the county order soften, and once again felt the benefits brought by the emperor's dispatch of Dongchang to his side.

Jiang Dong ignored Pan Xiuwen's softness, just expressionless, and said in a cold voice: "Zhang Xun's words, I think you haven't forgotten it." No matter what method you use, as well as the county and the main book, you will find a way together. If there are not enough men in the hour, I will take you down at once and serve you well. Because I have enough reason to suspect that you are trying to rebel against the Chin Cha! ”

Good guy, as soon as he opened his mouth, he put on a rebellious hat directly. This hat is really unbearable for ordinary people.

Of course, for Dongchang, this kind of hat is actually very ordinary. Investigating this aspect was originally one of the responsibilities of the East Factory.

As far as this kind of thing is concerned, if you really want to say something serious, you can't say that there is no reason to buckle this hat. When Pan Xiuwen heard this, he was a little scared, and he didn't dare in the face of the strong East Factory.

He also heard that just last year, the factory guards were dispatched, and many officials in Beijing were detained for rebellion and beheaded. Who would dare not take this kind of thing seriously?

Therefore, Pan Xiuwen's attitude was completely softened, and he hurriedly responded to Jiang Dong with a smiling face: "Don't worry, the lower officials are absolutely loyal to the king, even if they are hiding, the lower officials will definitely have enough manpower for Zhang Xun to dispatch." ”

After saying that, he confessed and hurried away.

Watching him leave, Zhang Pu hugged his fists and saluted Jiang Dong, and said sincerely: "This time, thanks to the stall!" ”

"My lord is doing things for the emperor, so I naturally want to protect my lord's side." Jiang Dong saw it, and just smiled and replied, "But I can see that the Qian family is powerful, so please be careful with your lords." ”

After finishing speaking, he also comforted Zhang Pu and said: "Actually, even if I don't come forward, adults have a way to solve it." Lord Yang of Zuodu Yushi is in Yangzhou, as long as the adult sends a letter to the past, he will definitely be able to help the adult! ”

Zhang Pu was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then remembered Yang Tinglin's enthusiasm. If he was still in Yangzhou, he should have no doubt about it. However, at this time, after he personally felt the power of the Qian family, he was a little suspicious.

The influence of the Qian family in officialdom is far greater than previously imagined!

Seeing him like this, Jiang Dong guessed the doubts in his heart, thought about it, and pointed to him: "If I didn't guess wrong, at this time, Lord Yang suddenly became the imperial history of the left capital and went south, and behaved like this, because the emperor was worried that the adults would not be able to deal with it, so he specially sent Lord Yang to Jiangnan to sit down!" ”

He is a native of Dongchang, and he knows much more about the emperor's trust and reuse of the officials in the court, as well as what the emperor cares about, than the officials of the foreign court. At least there are some things that the outer court has to guess, but on his side of Dongchang, he directly gets the will, and the difference is still very big.

After Zhang Pu heard this, he couldn't help but feel overjoyed, and after thinking about it, he felt that there was indeed such a possibility.

So, he was not reckless, immediately repaired a book, and sent someone to send it to Yangzhou Mansion immediately, if Zuodu Yushi was not there, he would send it to Yingtianfu.

On the county government's side, less than an hour limited by Zhang Pu, not only the county order, but also the county order, the main book, and the canonical history that I don't know where to go, all appeared together. The officials, cha ding, etc., even came in a large group, all of them obeyed the orders in a proper manner.

Among them, the classic history even smiled and explained to Jiang Dong: "Xia Guan went out yesterday to arrest the thief." After hearing that there was something wrong with the county government, I immediately rushed back to listen to the dispatch, and I am really sorry to keep the stall head waiting for a long time! ”

The same is true for the county secretary and the main bookkeeper, each of whom found a reason to explain to Jiang Dong. Zhang Pu, the chief official on the side, was left out in the cold.

In this regard, Zhang Pu didn't interrupt them, but sneered in his heart, and secretly ruthless: You wait and see, you all look down on this official, and sooner or later you will be cleaned up!

It didn't take long for a group of officials to sit in a sedan chair and ride a horse, and they left the county office in a mighty way. What they had to do was to check what was written in the land books. Only after the verification is true, the amount will be further judged and the arrears will be checked.

In this regard, the Qian family is also anxious, and the Qian family's forces can't cover the naked threat of Dongchang, so they can only watch. However, they are not helpless, on the one hand, they have secretly explained to those local officials, let them perfunctory Zhang Pu, and drag him down. On the other hand, he sent someone to clip the boat, and 100,000 hurriedly went to report to Qian Qianyi.

They didn't know that Qian Qianyi's side actually had a bit of a headache.

On the side of Yangzhou Mansion, Yang Tinglin, the new imperial historian of the left capital, personally sat in charge and strictly supervised the case of the fire in the treasury of each yamen.

Zuodu Yushi, the top civil official of the Ming Dynasty, is the second grade. The duty is to rectify the impeachment of the hundred divisions, identify the wrongs, and supervise the various ways.

Anyone who is a minister of treachery, a villain who forms a party, or a man who is a disruptor of government shall be impeached.

Anyone who is obscene and corrupt in official discipline shall be impeached.

Those who are not academically correct, who have written and made statements into a constitution, and who wish to use them, will be impeached.

In case of Hajj and inspection, the same officials and the Ministry of Ministers were deposed.

The heavy prisoners of the big prison will be in the outer court, and the punishment department and Dali Temple will be leveled. They serve the hinterland, follow the outside world, and act in their own way.

It can almost be said that the authority of the imperial history of the left capital includes all. The simultaneous fire in the warehouses of various yamen in Yangzhou Prefecture is, to a certain extent, a very serious case. With the respect of the second grade, directly sitting here, unless ordinary officials really dare to rebel, otherwise, they can only obediently obey orders.

Under Yang Tinglin's stern urging in the past few days, the prefect of Yangzhou Mansion and other officials in other places had no choice but to work hard, in fact, they didn't need to work hard, and summarized the situation on Qian Qianyi's side, complaining one by one. If it drags on any longer, a notebook of Zuodu Yushi will go up to the Son of Heaven, and if it is not good, this matter will really be big.

Today's emperor is not a good stubble, if it is characterized as someone colluding with the government and suspected of rebellion, then I don't know how many people will be unlucky. Last year, because of the capture of Jin merchants, many officials, even cabinet assistants, were all convicted of treason.

Therefore, because these officials were also related to their own interests, they echoed Qian Qianyi one after another and wanted to fight with Zhang Pu together. But now, the situation has escalated, and high-ranking officials like Zuodu Yushi are in charge, and they can't bear it, so they want to retreat.

Even if Qian Qianyi told them that in fact, Yang Tinglin was only the imperial history of Nanjing's left capital, not the imperial history of the left capital of Beijing; Even if Qian Qianyi told them that the imperial history of Zuodu was actually like that, even his nominal subordinates, the Thirteen Supervisory Imperial History, basically couldn't manage it except for the important assessment opinions during the initial one-year probationary period......

He said all this, but the people still did not listen. Even in a hurry, the prefect of Yangzhou Prefecture said to him bluntly: "Mr. Yushan, we can't compare with you, if you are to recover from him, he will start with Shangshu, and he has a wide range of contacts in the DPRK and China, and how many feudal officials are your protégés and old friends." And we ......"

"That Zhang Pu doesn't seem to be in Yangzhou Mansion either, I don't know where to go, it's useless for us to hold on. No matter what, you have to give an explanation to Lord Zuodu Yushi! ”

“……”

Qian Qianyi couldn't listen to it, so in the end, he could only launch a pre-arranged scapegoat. At the same time, he was also a little puzzled, but he didn't expect Zhang Pu to leave suddenly on the day Yang Tinglin was in trouble. They were all attracted by Yang Tinglin, and they didn't know where Zhang Pu went? This made him a little annoyed!

In this life, how could he capsize on such a junior, and let him be so humiliated in front of so many people!

Qian Qianyi was very annoyed, but in front of Liu Ruyi, he didn't show it, and still accompanied Liu Ruyi to play in the mountains and rivers, chanting poems, and he couldn't see anything on his face.

But on this day, when he and Liu Ru were about to go out to play, they came quickly. Before anyone arrived, a voice came from afar: "Master, it's not good......
