Zhou Zheng was sitting in the class room, quietly looking at the pile of thick papers in front of him.

Yao Tongshun chose what he basically didn't need to do, the purpose was to familiarize him with related affairs.

Zhou Zheng looked at it and had a very direct understanding of the situation in some Ming courts.

For example, the inspection of lawsuits and prisons has long been a non-existent matter, and unjust cases abound, and the supervision of the imperial history is either blind or has no right to interfere.

For example, inspecting the inner library, in fact, you can't enter the household department at all, and it has long become the rule of the ancestral law.

For example, when you check the money and food, you can only wait for the official documents of the place in the class room, and then stamp it, and you can't do anything else.

As for the examination of the prefecture and county, the supervision of the ceremonies, and the promotion of good and the elimination of evil, etc., have long been false.

In other words, many of the rights of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were gradually corroded, lost, and overhead, including the Thirteen Ways of Supervision and Imperial History!

"Ruined so far......" Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and shook his head.

A glimpse of the whole leopard, the capital procuratorate is like this, other departments and places are only afraid that it will be even more unbearable, the Ming officials are corrupted to this extent, not to mention Chongzhen, the gods can't be saved when they come.

Zhou Zheng continued to watch slowly, familiar with the operation mode here.

Yao Tongshun had already left the Metropolitan Inspection Courtyard at this time, and went straight to a restaurant not far from Gyeonggi Street.

In the restaurant, there was a thin middle-aged man with a dignified expression, sitting on a chair and listening to the reports of the three young people in front of him.

"The secretary, the small silver from the household department has been sent, and the reply is no problem."

"The secretary, the three thousand taels from the ministry have also been sent, and the reply is that the official document will come out within three days, so we don't have to urge."

"The secretary, Lord Huo also sent it over, and the reply is, next June."

The thin middle-aged man is the official of Huzhou Mansion, named Chen Beilu.

The so-called official book is the six rooms of officials, households, rites, workers, soldiers, and punishments under the prefect's yamen, corresponding to the six departments of the imperial court, the head of each room, which is called 'book' or inheritance.

There are some people under each room who have no fame, no position, just running errands, called Xu officials, scribes, clerks, and so on.

Chen Beilu was sent by the Huzhou government to Beijing this time, one for summer grain, and the other for the movement of relations, to prevent some things, and at the same time to seek benefits and promotion for them.

Chen Beilu listened, looked satisfied, and said, "Well, this time it's almost over, clean up, and you can go back in three days." ”

One of the officials said, "The official book, the official document from the supervision of the imperial history has not yet come out." ”

Chen Beilu smiled and said, "I met Huang Yushi the day before yesterday, and he said that the official document will come down today, and we will send it to the household department, and our task will be completed." ”

Several officials immediately showed a smile on their faces, they came all the way to the capital, and finally successfully completed the task and could go back.

Bang bang bang

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and at the same time, Xiao Er's voice sounded: "Guest officer, there is a guest visiting, saying that it is from the Metropolitan Procuratorate." ”

Chen Beilu was overjoyed, stood up and said, "The one who delivered the official document is here." ”

Chen Beilu walked over, opened the door, and saw Yao Tongshun.

Although Yao Tongshun is not in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he is still very confident in the face of these local officials, and he raised his hand politely, and said, "I am from the Metropolitan Procuratorate Experience Division, the new Zhejiang Provincial Inspector Yushi, and Zhou Yushi, who is in charge of Huzhou Mansion, let me pass the word, he will review your official documents as soon as possible, please don't worry." ”

Chen Beilu's smile suddenly turned into panic, and he hurriedly said, "Zhou Yushi? Who is Zhou Yushi, the new one? What about Huang Yushi? He ...... the day before yesterday"

Chen Beilu quickly stopped talking, his eyes flashing rapidly. He is not a fool, let alone a fledgling, where does he not know some taboos inside.

Yao Tongshun looked at Chen Beilu's expression and said, "The words have arrived, farewell." With that, he strode away.

Yao Tongshun is not stupid, he has already understood Zhou Zheng's intentions after calming down.

Huang Shunxuan clearly wants to kill two birds with one stone, eat Zhou Zheng and Huzhou Mansion, and now Zhou Zheng Chen Beilu did not get the paperwork and did not send it to the household department before demolishing Huang Shunzhou, Huang Shunxuan chicken flying eggs!

Chen Beilu watched Yao Tongshun leave, and instantly thought of something, and hurriedly closed the door.

A few small officials are inexplicable, why have they all been replaced? Why didn't anyone notify them? Also, what happened when Huang Yushi said that their official document would be issued today?

They were very nervous and turned around with Chen Bielu.

Chen Beilu frowned, his face was solemn, and he said, "I don't know what happened, but since Huang Shunxuan is no longer in charge of Huzhou, then his words can't be believed." ”

A servant said, "My lord, what should I do then?" We have been delayed for a long time, and we have already told the household department that the official document will be sent over today. ”

Chen Beilu's face changed for a while, and he said, "First, you go and inquire clearly, what changes have happened to the supervision of Zhejiang Dao's imperial history?" Inquire clearly who is responsible for the supervision of Huzhou, and what is the background? Second, raise another sum of silver, a thousand taels, quickly, borrow and borrow! ”

A servant looked stunned and said, "Official, why do you still need to raise it?" ”

Although Chen Beilu didn't know the joints inside, he had the supervision of Huzhou, and he always had to send congratulatory gifts to facilitate his actions in the future.

"Go!" Chen Beilu was a little irritated and waved his hand.

When the three officials saw it, they hurriedly responded and hurried out.

Chen Beilu sat in the room, restless, frowning, always feeling that something was about to happen.

Not long after, Xiao Er knocked on the door again and said, "Guest officer, someone is looking for you." ”

Chen Beilu was now a frightened bird, and when he heard this, he hurriedly opened the door, and saw a person who looked like a minister, handed over a document bag, and said with a smile, "I was sent by Huang Yushi, and this is the official document you wanted." ”

Chen Beilu almost snatched it and opened the official document.

I saw that this official document was no longer originally submitted by the Huzhou Mansion, but was copied, and the time on it was changed.

After Huang Shunxuan's explanation, this official looked at Chen Beilu's expression and explained, "Huang Yushi said, you know about the changes in the Metropolitan Procuratorate a while ago, he is afraid of further complications, so he changed the time and date, you should send it to the household department as soon as possible, end this matter, and return to Huzhou as soon as possible." ”

Chen Beilu's face was expressionless, and he said lightly, "There is labor." ”

The official looked at Chen Beilu's expression, felt a little strange in his heart, and left quickly without asking too much.

Chen Beilu took the document into the room, sat in a chair, stared at the document, and his eyes were gloomy.

Huang Shunxuan's practice is obviously illegal, if the new imperial history finds out about it afterwards and investigates it, they can't eat Huzhou Mansion and walk around! What's more, there is a new supervision of the imperial history, Huang Shunxuan also swallowed their silver, did not inform half a sentence, and deliberately changed the time, here is indescribably weird!
