Jing Cheng paced back and forth on the dock, looking up at the river from time to time, anxious, "Why haven't you arrived yet?" ”

The Runzhou Silk Factory was burned, and countless people were killed and burned by continuous fires. The governor of Runzhou immediately resigned, although the resignation form has not yet been approved, but he has been convicted at home, and all the affairs inside and outside the state have fallen on him.

There is such a big case, it is reasonable for the imperial court to send a commissioner to visit, if it is an ordinary person, it is still the prime minister's confidant, although Jing Cheng has a bunch of things to do, he still has to wait for the ferry.

"General verdict." The official behind him hugged on his behalf, "You have an old relationship with Han Xianggong and Xiong participating in politics, even if you are here to be the champion and the Chinese book, I don't dare to treat you slowly, so why stand in the cold wind." ”

Old? Jing Cheng glanced at the man lightly, is the affection used to treat the other party's henchmen slowly? If there is an old, it becomes a hate. Do you really think that you are young and vigorous, and you can make a fire by fanning the wind?

Jingcheng's father and uncle died one after another, his father died in battle under Kumamoto, his uncle died in battle with Han Gang, and his grandfather died in the post of Qin Feng's commander of soldiers and horses, which can be described as a loyal martyr. The most important thing is that he can have a relationship with Han Gang and Kumamoto, and in only ten years, Zhongjin Shi has achieved the position of power to send and send a general judge. is just a third-class jinshi, but he has caught up with the promotion speed of the first-class, and without Zaifu to take care of him, how can there be such progress. The people around him also saw it, and even Zhizhou Pingsuli respected him for three points.

But Jing Cheng understands that the above care is based on the love of his parents, and if he is not interested, then what kind of love will disappear.

What kind of person is Han Gang? Ten thousand Buddhas? Don't laugh, that's the master who wants to enter the Temple of Literature. In order to learn qi, he can screw his father-in-law for a lifetime.

Hangang wants to promote the construction of factories in the world to reassure the unemployed people. In the past, there were already people in Jiangnan who said that the silk factory was robbing the people of food, but the imperial court ignored it and was still bent on promoting Han Gang's policy. Now that there is a mess in the factory, which confirms the previous words, how can the dignified prime minister tolerate it?

Now, hundreds of major cases of human life have corrupted his law, ruined his scholarship, failed to control the states and counties, and a few factory proprietors who are greedy and harmful to the people, and no one can get out. But who the board will fall on in the end depends on the mood of the Qin Cha who came down this time.

And this time it was none other than someone else, it was the champion who went out of Liangzhe, and he was the confidant of Han Sanxianggong. For what? Is it just for a few factories? No! What Han Gang is most worried about is 'the country is'! The importance of 'national identity' has been well known to all officials since the beginning of the old and new party disputes 20 years ago. Zong Ze's trip to the south this time can be said to be burdened with a heavy responsibility.

Humble and powerful, in front of such upstarts, not to mention blowing some cold wind now, it is a knife in the sky, Jingcheng has to stay here, not seeking benefits, just seeking stability. Flatter the man well, so as not to evil him, and finally implicate him. At this juncture, there are still people who make it bad, Jing Cheng has no time to get angry, but he has written them all down.

"There is such a big thing, and the Zhongshu Sect has sent an envoy to the south, I can't wait to put on a confession and flattery style, isn't this jumping into the pit by myself." Jing Cheng said to the officials in a gentle tone, no matter what he thought in his heart, he always had a good temper to the outside world, and he also gained a good reputation, "The wind is just like this, it is better than the cold wind that blows for more than ten years in the future." ”

Jing Cheng's words, several officials listened, and they all bowed their hands: "Thank you for mentioning the point." ”

Jing Cheng is a good person, and what he says over and over again is what they know, but he still has to give face. In other words, Zhizhou would not be so kind.

"Zhizhou is going to be printed this time."

"Yang Zhizhou, what is he afraid of, he is about to give his honor, even if he resigns, the court still wants to give him a little dignity."

"Didn't Zhizhou offend Han Xianggong? Where can he be at ease. ”

"What is he afraid of? There are inevitably people in the court who will pull him. ”

Yang Hui, the governor of Runzhou, served as a bachelor of Hanlin more than ten years ago, but unfortunately made a big mistake, and his reputation was even worse at the Qionglin banquet. He has been a governor in the southern states for more than ten years, and he has been demoted again and again since his bachelor's position, and he has lost even the right to discuss politics. After taking office in Runzhou this time, he will be a master in a blink of an eye, and he will never have the opportunity to enter the court again in this life - who made the prime minister or the Han Xianggong who made him lose face on the Huami Cliff back then? It's just that if Han Gang wants to take the opportunity to force him to death this time, someone will still come out and pull him, all in all, the dignity of the Hanlin Bachelor should still be there.

"Let's not say a word." Jing Cheng turned around and interrupted the whispers of the subordinate officials, "Yang Gong has been impeached behind closed doors, why bother to talk about him and wrong?" ”

"I don't know what the verdict is," the state clerk said to Jing Cheng, "do you know how the state's self-impeachment is written?" ”

How to write it, of course Jingcheng knows. Yang Hui jumped into the pit by himself, and no one could pull him.

"How is it written?" Several other officials who still didn't know the situation asked in unison.

"Zhizhou and Han Xianggong have old grudges, and this time, in order to get out, he bit Han Xianggong hard in the self-impeachment recital." The record joined the army and sneered, looking around, "Do you think he can make it?" ”

Except for Jingcheng, everyone shook their heads.

Han Gang has the skill of protecting the sky, so he is all over the army, even if Ming Jun is in power, if he wants to move such a powerful minister, he must be careful and beware of backlash. Now that the Queen Mother is hanging the curtain and has a lot of trust in Han Gang, how can a small Zhizhou move this powerful prime minister.

Jing Cheng is too lazy to talk to these people. The atmosphere of Jiangnan officialdom is not corrupted in one day or two, and there are never many things that talk about people's rights and wrongs and pick up the shortcomings.

This time, Yang Hua is indispensable to make a mistake, but decency is also indispensable. has been an official of two systems, and his identity is convenient for him to be different from other officials, even if he is a prime minister, it is difficult to do things that are happy.

Jing Cheng is only worried about one thing now, why hasn't Zong Ze been there yet?

By dusk, everyone's patience had worn out. When the officials sent to the other side of the river to inquire about the news came back, including Jing Cheng, they were all impatient, "What happened to Zong Zhuangyuan?" ”

The official shook his head, "No one has seen anyone from the court over there in Guazhou." ”

Jing Cheng's face changed greatly, "Oh no! ”

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, several officials became nervous.

Jing Cheng's face turned pale, "Zong Zhuangyuan has already crossed the river." ”

"Where?"

"It's a micro-service." Jing Cheng said.

The faces of several officials were also difficult to look at, and Zong Ze chose to visit Weifu, making it clear that he didn't trust the officials in Runzhou, and came with malice. Thinking that his action was instructed by the prime minister, everyone fell into an ice cave.

Jing Cheng couldn't care about his image anymore, and shouted at the officials under him: "Don't go check it out yet!" All the inns and monks' houses in the city have checked to see if there are any living people staying there! ”

……………………

Just when the Runzhou officials were guarding the ferry, they crossed the river.

He was ordered to go south, taking only one old servant with him. Other than that, only four parishioners followed. The car was simple all the way, and he did not rely on his identity to harass the state and county all the way.

He did not cross the river on Guazhou after coming out of Yangzhou, and in his plan, he did not plan to meet with the officials in Runzhou first.

Zong Ze has served as a place, what can he do below, where is he not clear? If someone stops them halfway through the road and accompanies them all the way, they can only see what they want to see below. Maybe one of them is not good, and it will be framed by someone design.

In the past, Wen Yanbo guarded Chengdu, and some people in the court impeached him for being greedy for ink, and his subordinates were harsh, almost mutinied. The imperial court sent Shi He Yan to Chengdu to investigate the details. After Wen Yanbo heard about it, he secretly sent his cronies to meet the Qin messenger on the road into Sichuan, and then had a good hospitality, recruited a camp prostitute, and lied that the family concubine came out to accompany the wine. But when He Yan arrived in Chengdu and was about to be powerful, Wen Yanbo made an appearance at the banquet with the prostitutes singing glamorous words, where could He Yan still investigate the case? He could only return to Beijing in a gloomy manner, reporting that there was no evidence, so he let Wen Yan Boshun pass the customs.

Zong Ze listened to a lot of allusions to these predecessors under the Zhongshu Gate, and all kinds of rights and wrongs were pretended. He didn't want to make a private visit, even if he did that, he couldn't find much in fact, but instead of intriguing with people along the way, it was better to jump out first and walk around.

……………………

When Zong Ze's whereabouts were regained in the Runzhou officialdom, it was already a day later. Then they watched Zong Ze go around the counties below Runzhou, and finally Shi Shiran entered Runzhou City.

When Zong Ze and his entourage moved into the building, the Runzhou Prefecture Yayan Hall was brightly lit at night.

The exhausted Jing Cheng sat on the top, and under the light, the two dark circles under his eyes were extremely thick. On his side were the equally emaciated subordinate officials, and on the other side were the magistrates under Runzhou.

Jing Cheng looked around, his voice hoarse, "In the past few days, I think you must have understood." The envoy who visited Runzhou did not enter, and after entering the city, he closed the door and thanked the guests, who the main messenger is, I believe you all know in your hearts. The Constitutional Division has already dispatched people to the Quartet, saying that they want to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, so as not to add more troubles in the future. He also said that as long as an edict was issued, the soldiers and horses of the imperial court could arrive at the city of Runzhou within five days, and they were not afraid that anyone would dare to rebel. Ladies and gentlemen, this time they will take away the hearts of the people who are calming down the matter, and also take away the thoughts of passing the test lightly, the court is going to be ruthless this time, don't imagine that the board of the court will be held high and put it down. ”

Jing Cheng said that everyone was in a cold sweat.

In the past few days, the Criminal Prison Department of the two Zhejiang provinces has been arresting Mingjiao members everywhere like mad dogs, and all counties in various states have complained about this, and the counties and towns under the jurisdiction of Runzhou have also made a lot of trouble, but at this time, no one dares to complain loudly, and the Xian Division's actions are so big that it is impossible to get instructions.

However, serving in the state and county, it is a matter of duty to protect the territory and the people, and if there is a civil uprising, the constitutional department can shirk it, but the pro-people officials can't shirk it.

"What should I do?" Danyang Zhixian asked urgently.

The people of Danyang are fierce, but there are many Mingjiao believers, and the Criminal Prison Department is making a big move in the county, seeing that there is a fire on a pile of firewood and grass, and he is so anxious that his heart is like fire.

"You wait to appease the people first, and tomorrow, when I go to visit the Zongcha envoy, I will talk about it."
