Chapter 217: Ximenqing's counterattack
"Since he is a fellow villager of the Lu Fang brothers, I am afraid that he is also a hero, Jue An, you go back and order, call a few careful people, look for it on the street, he first came to Dongping Mansion, I think he was lost. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "As soon as Ximenqing finished giving orders, he saw the little maid at home and led a big man to come.
The big man saw Lu Fang and hurriedly walked a few steps, "Brother Lu Fang, it's okay if you're fine, I came to Dongping Mansion, and I couldn't find your righteous brother for a while, so I couldn't ask someone to ask, but I learned that he was no longer at home." ”
Lu Fang was happy when he saw it, after all, he came with him, if he was a righteous person, he would have a bright face, and pointed at Jiang Jing and said: "Brother, he is the god operator Jiang Jing." This is my brother Simon. ”
The two saluted each other, this Jiang Jing was sweating profusely, obviously he was in a hurry just now, looking at him like this, he was obviously also righteous.
"Since they're all brothers, it's better to go and drink." Ximen Qing invited Jiang Jing, and led a group of brothers, all of whom went to the wine shop.
Jiang Jing came this time, he wanted to go to Ximenqing, and he invited him, where would he say a word, and drink all night.
…………
The next day, Ximen Qing led Du Yan, Bian Xiang, and Jiao Ting to take up their posts in the Inspection Department.
Ximen Qing's house is not far from the state government, out of the alley in front of the house, turn left, and then walk one hundred and twenty steps forward, it is the state government gate, and the inspection department is behind the state government gate, today Ximen Qingchu came to take office, Zhang Jue should have taken people out to greet him, but now there is no one at the door, the door is closed.
Ximenqing's face was indifferent, and he didn't see the slightest anger, and Jiao Ting raised his eyebrows, Bian Xiang took three or five steps, came to the door of the mansion, and stretched out his hand to smash the door.
It took a while for someone to answer the door and ask, "Who's making a noise outside?" ”
Bian Xiang replied loudly: "The officials of the West Gate have come to take up their posts in the Inspection Division, and you and other small officials, errand officers, why don't you open the door of the mansion and sweep and greet you?" ”
After a while, the door of the house opened, and when I looked closely, there were only a dozen or so people who came out, sparsely and sparsely, not in a queue, Jiao Ting said angrily: "There are only a few people in the inspection department?" ”
These dozen or so people, their faces were quite respectful, but their demeanor was also quite casual, and they only arched their hands and said: "Originally, there should be one hundred and eighty-three officials and small officials, but yesterday suddenly seventy-three people asked for leave to return home, plus twelve people from Xiu Mu, Zhang Inspector temporarily transferred some last night, saying that Dongping Mansion went out to arrest the thieves, and now only I am left." ”
Is this another trick by Zhang Jue? With no one to greet him, to slap his face, looking at the old, weak, sick and disabled in front of him, Ximenqing had no intention of embarrassing them, waved his hand to make them all retreat, and when he was about to enter, suddenly a call came from behind: "Isn't that Ximen official in front?" ”
Hearing that voice, Ximen Qingxian frowned, then turned around and smiled: "Deputy Zhang's inspection came early!" ”
It was no one else who called him, it was Zhang Jue, who died yesterday, and he arched his hand casually and said: "Yesterday, the brothers inspected the place, they were quite tired, they got up late, and they never went out to meet the inspection envoys, and I also asked the inspection envoys not to blame." Although he said that he should not be blamed, looking at his face, there was obviously no apology.
Ximen Qing said with a smile: "How dare you, the inspection department has Zhang Inspector here, but it saves the official's big thoughts, Zhang Inspector took the thief last night, I don't know if I can get anything?" ”
Zhang Jue said: "That thief is cunning, so we have worked hard all night. ”
Ximen Qing said: "It's okay, there is Zhang Patrol here, I want to come to that thief and don't dare to come to my Dongping Mansion to make trouble again, this is not the place to talk, why don't you go to the hall and talk about it?" ”
Zhang Jue looked at Ximenqing, and he couldn't hold it for a while, could it be that he was really a temperless soft egg? I was so difficult yesterday, and I deliberately fell on his face today, he didn't get angry, or did he say that there was some calculation waiting for me, his eyes rolled, and he couldn't guess what Ximenqing thought, just see what you can do.
"Well, the brothers should rest after a hard night's work."
waved his hand, followed by dozens of officials, and walked to the inspection department, when they looked at Ximen Qing, their faces were full of disdain, didn't they all say that Ximen Qing was a hero? No matter how Zhang Jue is fiddling like this, he can't see the slightest anger, I heard that he dared to resist the Han family, how did he see Zhang Jue like a kitten, a dignified inspector, how could he be at the mercy of a deputy like this.
In the future, in this inspection department, it is still necessary to follow Zhang Inspection.
Ximenqing took Zhang Jue with him, and said with a smile: "Last night, Zhang inspected and took the thief, but he didn't get it, it's really a coincidence, I have a few brothers, but I caught a few thieves." ”
Zhang Jue couldn't figure out what Ximen Qing was referring to, and asked, "I don't know where the official caught the thief." ”
"But I don't know where the thief is, I just said that he came to our Dongping Mansion to sell illicit salt." Ximen Qing said casually.
When Zhang Jue heard this, his face suddenly changed, he glanced at Ximenqing suddenly, and said half-loudly: "Then I should congratulate the official, as soon as I take office, I have to make meritorious contributions, and with your relationship with the prefect of Cheng, you will be rewarded." ”
Ximen Qing laughed and said: "Then borrow Zhang to inspect the auspicious words, but I have always been generous, with such good things, how can I swallow it alone?" Today, I specially invited Inspector Zhang to join me in interrogating several smuggler salt dealers. ”
"So thank you to the officials, but you don't know where the thief is?" Zhang Jue squinted his eyes and looked around, knowing that it was impossible to hide here, but he still couldn't help but look around, where did he go to arrest the thief last night, it was clearly to do the illegal salt business, most of the private salt in the Dongping Mansion was in the hands of their uncle and nephew, and now Ximen Qing said that he had taken a few thieves who sold illegal salt, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, could it be that he arrested me?
"Inspector Zhang will know in a while, don't worry." Ximenqing replied and gave Jiao Ting a look behind him.
Jiao Ting nodded in understanding, leaving no trace behind everyone and leaving a trace out of the inspection department.
The more Ximen Qing is like this, the more worried Zhang Jue is in his heart, this selling illicit salt is a serious crime, if it is taken, it will be stabbed at the lightest, and the head will be killed at the worst.
After waiting in the hall for a long time, I saw Jiao Ting and Xue Yong leading the family members and guards of Ximenqing's house, escorting a few thieves to the hall.
Zhang Jue only saw it, his eyes suddenly widened, and he squeezed his palms tightly, sure enough, these thieves were the Dengzhou smuggling salt dealers who handed over the illegal salt to him last night. Aren't they gone? How could it fall into the hands of Ximenqing.
"Where are you and what is your surname, how dare you break the laws of the imperial court and sell illicit salt? In this Dongping Mansion, how many people are equal to the party. While speaking, Ximenqing glanced at Zhang Jue intentionally or unintentionally, and when he saw his appearance, he couldn't help sneering in his heart, see how long you can last!
