Although the gossip about Zhang Taizheng spread all over the place, thinking that Zhang Siwei, the third assistant of the cabinet, was still recuperating at home, which inevitably made people quite reverie, but the two heads of the Metropolitan Procuratorate jointly played the punishment five years ago, and all the human and material evidence were listed one by one, which still attracted more attention. On the second day of the retreat, the cabinet voted to draft, and the reply of the celebrant and the celebrant was immediately down, but it was ordered to be led by Wu Baipeng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Chen Ji, the imperial history of Zuodu, and Lu Guangzu, the secretary of Dali Temple, and Wang Fulin and Qin Yiming to assist in the investigation. In addition, Jin Yiwei, who has always participated in the punishment, also sent a hundred households from Beizhen Fusi to assist.

The huge Jinyi Guard, the Nanzhen Fu Division is responsible for the military discipline and legal discipline of this guard, it stands to reason that Xu Jue originally belonged to the Nanzhen Fu Division, but he relied on Feng Bao behind his back, often overstepping his authority to manage the investigation, and even intervened in the transfer of Jinyi Wei's spies. And the Beizhen Fu Si Fang is the department that is really in charge of the investigation, and it has great authority many times. But now that Dongchang has overwhelmed Jinyiwei, Liu Shouyou saw that Feng Bao, the eunuch of Dongchang, was going to kowtow to say hello, and Zhang Juzheng was like a Dinghai Shenshen needle among civil officials, even if he was once a powerful person in Beizhen Fusi, he naturally couldn't put on any arrogance.

Because of this, on the morning of the order to review, Guo Bao, a hundred households in Beizhen Fusi, who was a six-grade person, saw Wang Fulin at the entrance of the criminal department, and his face was full of smiles, and he was so polite that he couldn't be more polite, where was the gloomy appearance of the person who came out of the secret service? In his early thirties, he had a very pleasing round face, spoke smoothly and sincerely, and he even blamed Wang Fulin and Qin Yiming for the fraud case, and he didn't mean to pretend to be wrong for his predecessor.

For this, of course, Wang Fulin knows that it is not against himself as a person, but against the authority of the imperial history, not to mention Guo Bao's small hundred households, even Liu Shouyou, who is now in charge of the Fusi of Bei Town, must always be on guard against the impeachment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, because it is a sharp sword hanging over his head. The imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate seem to have been overwhelmed by Zhang Juzheng over the years, but the authority of the imperial history is there, Long Wan has been in the past ten years, and even Xungui has been impeached for incompetence or corruption, and finally dismissed and idle, such as the unlucky Funing Hou, not to mention the mere Jinyiwei?

Therefore, Wang Fulin did not have any wishful thinking because Guo Bao was attentive to him-although he had always dreamed of having the head of the factory guard to take refuge in him-but he still responded to Guo Bao's greetings with a smile, and when he saw that Lu Guangzu also happened to come over, he immediately changed to a respectful and cold smile.

The Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple are known as the three law divisions, but the grades of the heads in charge are different. The criminal department is still the second product, the left capital is from the second product, and the Dali Temple is the third product. Therefore, if they are both Jiuqing, their positions are naturally different. Among them, Dali Siqing ranks last among the Dajiuqing, and his position is also the most embarrassing. From the early years of Wanli to the present, the positions at the level of Shangshu and the Imperial History have not changed much, often either due to illness or old age, or impeached, such as the Ministry of Shangshu has been changed a total of three times, but Dali Siqing is different, more than seven or eight in six years.

And most of the people who were replaced were happy to take office - even if they were from one of the unique Dajiuqing, the Zhengsanpin Dali Temple Qing, to one of the twelve Zhengsanpin and Liubu waiters, neither the big Jiuqing nor the small Jiuqing could not be ranked - unless they fell to the most complicated Ministry of Works, then they would have a long sigh.

Since he is in the Imperial Procuratorate and is in charge of the imperial history, Wang Fulin and the current Dali Temple Secretary Lu Guangzu are of course not the first time to deal with each other, and they are respectful because they are much higher-grade officials after all, and they are cold because Lu Guangzu has prejudices against him.

Lu Guangzu was the secretary of Dali Temple a few years ago, but because of Ding Wei, he went home to guard the system, and after the service was full, he first reinstated the Dali Temple of Nanjing, and then reinstated his original position after the Dali Temple Secretary who replaced him was promoted to a certain department. Don't look at these twists and turns, it's not easy. For most of the Beijing officials who are worried about the system, it is very difficult to reinstate the official, and there must be someone in the court with outstanding ability, otherwise when they come back, they can only see what vacancies there are, and they can only do it for the time being, and often they can only submit to foreign officials, so many high-level officials often stop being out of office after Ding Wei, because there are more monks and fewer porridge and no seats.

Although Lu Guangzu has various advantages in character and ability, the biggest advantage is that he, like Wang Daokun and others, is also the same year as Zhang Juzheng. In the ranking of the palace examination that year, Lu Guangzu was the first two in front of Yin Zhengmao, and he was also in the bottom of the top three. Because of this, Wang Fulin often muttered behind his back, the ranking of the palace examination is a huge role for a while, and whether he can reach the top of the official career depends on his personal ability.

Seeing each other at this time, after Wang Fulin bowed and greeted, he saw that Lu Guangzu only nodded slightly, and then when he met Chen Ji, he bowed to each other without being humble or arrogant, and then went in one after the other, and he politely let Qin Yiming go first, and he fell last.

Lu Guangzu's prejudice against him, when the three laws were punished before, he had already noticed it, and after sending Zheng Yougui to inquire, he learned an important piece of information, Lu Guangzu is a native of Jiaxing Mansion, and when he was idle from the post of Taichang Temple, he used to be a guest at Xu Jie, even if the Xu family was confiscated from the land, the two sons were in the army, and they never gave up on Xu Jie, so Zhang Juzheng had blue eyes. Therefore, Lu Guangzu has always claimed that he looks down on Wang Fulin, a nephew who is opposed to his uncle.

Now that he knows that people are cold to him because he is upset for Wang Daokun - of course, maybe this is just an excuse - what else does Wang Fulin have to say besides secretly sighing and suffering himself? Anyway, if he is not his immediate boss, he is purely businesslike.

At this time, he opened the old case files of the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, checked the old case files that he and Qin Yiming turned out in the cabinet library of the Metropolitan Procuratorate one by one, and interrogated the officials involved that year, when he asked Gao Xiaoren, he found that Lu Guangzu seemed to glance at him, and in the next interrogation, he did not only choose the most important questions than Wu Baipeng and Chen Ji, but asked everything in detail, as if he would not stop asking about flaws.

Seeing that Gao Xiaoren was sweating profusely when he was asked, Wang Fulin originally wanted to say a few words to ease his breath, but seeing Lu Guangzu's aggressive appearance, he thought about it and felt that this Dali Siqing might suspect that he was deliberately making a big fuss, so he simply didn't have much to do. He was very sure that although this matter was involved, the whole thing was absolutely not false - after all, it was a move prepared by Zhang Siwei Wang Chonggu in advance, Zhang Taizheng took it out and wanted to use it as a cover, Qin Yiming personally checked Huguangdao's documents for verification, and then reviewed it from both human and physical evidence, and finally went to the book, and he was not even afraid of Gao Xiaoren retracting his confession!

Just when Lu Guangzu confirmed a small detail for the second time, an abrupt voice suddenly came from the side: "Lord Tingwei, although Gao Xiaoren is a prisoner, there are other officials involved here, you only stare at him and ask alone, but ignore the others, isn't it a bit careless?" ”

Lu Guang's ancestor served as the secretary of Dali Temple twice, and also served as the secretary of Dali Temple in Nanjing for a while, everyone said that he was careful and fair, who dared to say that he was careless? He looked sideways and saw that it was Guo Bao, the one who opened his mouth, and he was ashamed and angry when he was a lot older. However, although Jinyiwei is not as good as before, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and the words asked by others are still on the point, in case of-for-tat, he may cause some trouble, so he suppressed his anger. Wu Baipeng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, saw that the situation was not good, and took over the conversation and interrogated several other people one by one, and then he passed away.

However, despite this discordant episode, the physical evidence is quite conclusive, Gao Xiaoren admitted guilty, and the other five officials involved in the case confessed more or less after desperately denying it, and they all confessed a little bit of something, which was actually involved in the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and the two masters of the imperial history, which was like a hornet's nest. After an interrogation was hastily over, there was a lot of arguing about where the people involved were being held. Because Dali Temple reviewed the world's cases, according to the convention, he went to Dali Temple Prison, and Wu Baipeng had no intention of fighting, but Chen Ji, the imperial history of Zuodu, seemed to have eaten the scales and had an iron heart, and asked to be detained in the prison of the Criminal Department.

Qin Yiming naturally didn't want to help his boss without thinking about it, Wang Fulin didn't care, but since it was the matter provoked by the Metropolitan Procuratorate this time, there could be no disagreement at this time, and he immediately followed his supporters to go to the prison of the Criminal Department.

Seeing that this was an absolutely advantageous situation of three to one, Wu Baipeng saw that Lu Guangzu's face had turned the color of pig liver, and thought to himself that you want to raise the bar, why did you arch my criminal department book to the fire, but he never thought that Guo Bao would actually open his mouth and say: "The prison of the criminal department is the most suitable, but if the three elders think it is inappropriate, the edict of Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Si is now empty, can it also be considered?" ”

Speaking of which, if Wang Fulin still can't see that this Guo Bao is simply a living treasure who is responsible for being a-stirring stick today, he will be blind in these eyes. Sure enough, whether it was Lu Guangzu and Chen Wei, who were fighting, or Wu Baipeng, who was fighting for the mud, they almost said in unison at this time: "Then the prison of the Criminal Department!" ”

As if to prevent Jinyiwei from interfering, handing over the prisoners, classifying the case files, and setting a retrial date, the series of processes is simply fast compared to the previous ones. When it finally dispersed, Lu Guangzu snorted coldly at the trio of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and walked away, while Chen Wei laughed and said: "As soon as Lu Guangzu took office, he reviewed the documents of Dali Temple, but he didn't find this case. Ignore him, let's go back. I will send someone to order Lu Guangzu to try it alone, don't even think about it! ”

Although Qin Yiming was dragged into the water by Wang Fulin and jointly played this case, he couldn't say that he was happy in his heart - he gave Wang Fulin more than half of the credit for a good thing, and he also offended Zhang Siwei, who can be in a good mood? However, seeing that Chen Biao's attitude towards himself was much warmer, he immediately threw those unwilling to Java, and at the same time praised Chen Biao, and then looked at the sky and said earnestly: "It's noon now, why don't you go back and change our clothes with the Governor Xian, and find a restaurant to celebrate and celebrate that our Metropolitan Procuratorate has made meritorious contributions this time?" ”

Usually go to work to flatter the boss, even if Wang Fulin doesn't plan to spend all his precious lunch break on his boss. Therefore, seeing that Chen Wei raised his eyebrows, he didn't say yes or no, but his face looked a little delicate, so he coughed lightly and said: "The matter is still not a word, what to celebrate now, if you are caught by someone in the Liuke Corridor, it will be meaningless." If Qin Zhangdao has a heart, he might as well wait for the rest of the day when Lord Zongxian is resting, and then find a quiet shop on Qianmen Street, wouldn't it be good to have a good discussion? ”

Qin Yiming thought that Wang Fulin had only joined forces with Chen Wei before, and he had done a game with Chen Sanmo in the matter, and then thought about it now, it was indeed not final, and he saw that Chen Furin nodded in approval of Wang Fulin's proposal, so he could only dispel this thought. However, he still seized the opportunity to make an appointment for Hugh Muri's visit, and was a little careful not to call Wang Fulin, and when Chen Wei agreed a little reservedly, he breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't see a smile on Wang Fulin's last return to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Neither Chen Wei nor Qin Yiming noticed that Guo Bao, the lonely Beizhen Fu Si Punishment Hundred Households, did not go far after leaving the Criminal Department, and had been watching the backs of the three of them. Wang Fulin caught a glimpse of it coldly when he turned into the door, and he couldn't help but feel a little vigilant in his heart

At lunch on this day, although Wang Fulin said that he had returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he did not stay in the straight room to eat the somen noodles he always liked, but quietly slipped out of the side door. Now the fat cook he specially hired back in addition to the plain toppings, and has changed his tricks to figure out several toppings, which can ensure that the food is not the same every ten years, and with the support of Chen Wei, this working meal has been only served in Guangdong Road and Fujian Road, to the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the direct education has praised the general constitution and sympathy for his subordinates, which is the difference between Chen Zan and Chen Ji's temperament. But no matter how good things are, it is inevitable that he will get tired of eating too much, and he will often go far away to fight tooth sacrifices.

After changing into civilian clothes, he saw that Zheng Yougui had led two horses out, and he didn't alarm anyone, so he nodded approvingly at this very handy white-clothed clerk, and then got on the horse. When the master and the two of them traveled all the way north to the mutton alley, a smell of mutton came to his nose, and Wang Fulin didn't want to go back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate with a smell of smell, so he had to look back at Zheng Yougui.

Zheng Yougui smiled mysteriously, led the way with a familiar horse, and turned into a side alley, he heard Zheng Yougui say softly: "Take a shortcut from here to that tavern, there are often people who go to Beijing to catch the exam, although this year is not the year of the examination, there are still many scholars, delicious and cheap." ”

When Wang Fulin followed Zheng Yougui into the store, found an empty table and sat down, and then ordered a few very famous meat and vegetarian dishes here, and ordered a pot of rice wine, before the man could bring the wine and food, a middle-aged man dressed plainly as if he was an entourage appeared in front of him, sang a big sigh with a smile, and then sat diagonally on the stool on the side.

"Childe is actually drinking here, it's really easy for the little one to find."

Zheng Yougui saw that he was in his early thirties, with a round face and a smile, and thought it was the Wang family, but after glancing at Wang Fulin's tense and then soothing face, he knew that he had guessed wrong, and hurriedly wanted to find an excuse to avoid it, but he didn't want to be pressed by Wang Fulin with chopsticks.

"If you beg for a drink, you just say it, why make any excuses?" Wang Fulin teased casually, and then relaxed the pair of chopsticks that were pressing Zheng Yougui's left hand, and then said to the guy, "My old family is a greedy cup, man, add another pot of wine!" ”

PS: Just one more, anyway, I've developed a good habit of going to check the ranking of the temple when I'm fine...... (To be continued.) )
