Time flies, eight days of time is almost a blink of an eye, but for Tong Guowei, who was ordered to try the case, these eight days are simply a long and incomparably long torture, on the one hand, the prince's almost uninterrupted pressure, not to mention, just Yuqing Palace summoned three times, although every time the summons, the prince never mentioned the Shandong case, but the meaning is clear, as for privately sending cronies to pass on the message, it is almost every day, and Tong Guowei's head is full of life, On the other hand, the eighth master also didn't let Tong Guowei save much heart, and he didn't know how many people went to his house to intercede, so that Tong Guowei couldn't even sleep soundly, and he was so tormented that he was tormented by the boss, and he had no choice but to hastily conclude the case, and reported the results to the emperor two days in advance, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, two days passed, and I didn't see the old man Kangxi have any instructions on this case.

On the tenth day, seeing that the old man never commented on the case, the eighth master finally couldn't sit still, and once again went to the guilty fold, saying that he was responsible for negligence to the servants under the door, and implored the saint to condemn the crime, but the attitude was extremely sincere, but it was inevitable that there were some suspicions of avoiding the important and trivial, which aroused the criticism of many courtiers who were close to the prince.

On the eleventh day, the old man finally gave instructions on the Shandong case - Ru Fu, the former governor of the river, committed a heinous crime, although he could not escape the blame for his death, he was sentenced to confiscate his family property, and his family members served before being exiled to the Ussuri Taiwan army; As an official of the imperial court, Gong Puqi, the political envoy of Shandong, did not want to repay the service, but took advantage of the year of the catastrophe to collude with illegal businessmen and steal the country's grain stocks. According to Shandong, Du Mo violated the law of conscience, killed people and killed people, hoping to get lucky, and his crime was extremely evil, and he was sentenced to death, fined and confiscated family property, and never used it within three generations; The rest of the local officials involved in the case were dealt with according to the law, and the punishment was uncertain, and as for the eighth master, he was fined for one year for lax discipline and negligence in employing people.

Although the trial of the case was full of twists and turns, the final result was completely expected by Hongqing, the board raised by the old man was only hit the minions below, as for the eighth master, the so-called fine for one year, there is not much difference between there and not, of course, the meaning of the warning is very strong, once the eighth master has another mistake, it will not only be a light punishment that can not be lighter.

The eighth master was able to escape a catastrophe, Hongqing was not surprised, or even welcomed very much, not for anything else, just because after this case, the eighth master must be honest for a long time, which gave Hongqing the time needed to calmly lay out the engineering department, I didn't see Heshen, who had been circling Hongqing a few days ago, was now honest as a "good student", and he didn't dare to have any words of spying and urging, it was hard to say, at least Hongqing's ears were idle and young.

Seeing that the sky is going to be June, this blink of an eye, back to Beijing is already in the early twenties, to the Ministry of Industry is also half a month, but in addition to the strong performance of the two days of reporting, Hongqing seems to have changed a person, although every day is before noon to the Ministry of Industry on time, but there is no big action, as soon as I arrived at the Yamen, I was in the backyard of the special office, rarely went to the department to walk around, let alone other departments to inspect, of course, it is not that nothing has been done - from the day after taking office, Hongqing ordered the envoy of Du Shuiqing to transfer all kinds of reports over the years to his office, the reason is to understand the true meaning of the write-off matter, as for whether Hongqing has seen the mountains of reports, then only God knows.

Can you learn the truth from the old report? The answer is impossible, the reason is very simple, all the statements are just some running accounts, if you really want to learn the true meaning, take the rules of verification and write-off, and it's over? Obviously, no one will really think that Hongqing is learning, in the eyes of the old workers, Hongqing's move is just to pick some bones out of the eggs, this is to settle the old accounts with the big guys, but, but no one cares about it, not for anything else, just because these old accounts have no empirical evidence, just some useless data, no matter how hard Hongqing is, he wants to find out what is strange from these old papers, the big guy is happy to let Hongqing go blind, left and right is just a waste of effort, Love to toss and toss.

Toss? Of course, it is to toss, but it is by no means what a group of people in the Ministry of Industry think, in this regard, Hongqing has already had a plan, the reason why he is not in a hurry to launch, one is that a few days ago the Shandong case was not finished, the time is not ripe to launch, and second, quiet, a few days, play a trick, or paralyze the vigilance of the Ministry of Industry, and launch a sudden attack, and now, the Shandong case has been over for nearly ten days, and the play is almost over, Hongqing has no intention of staying up so tepidly.

"Little Lord, do you have any important business when you summon the lower officials in such a hurry?"

On the first day of the first month of June, at noon, just arrived at the Ministry of Industry, Hongqing immediately asked Li Minxing to summon Tasi'an, this guy came quickly, but obviously he didn't put Hongqing in his eyes, and the salute was so-so, and the tone of the question was obviously impatient.

Hey, it's a good thing to eat or not, interesting, let's see!

Seeing Tasi'an's squirming appearance, Hongqing was very unhappy in his heart, and scolded secretly, but he didn't bring it to his face, but raised his hand with a smile and said: "Lord Ta doesn't have to be polite, Ben Beizi has been in the Ministry of Industry for more than 20 days, Lord Mengsa does not give up, and can supervise the capital Shui Qing Envoy, but it is really difficult to learn and be shallow, but fortunately, with the full support of Lord Ta and others, Ben Beizi has a good opportunity to study quietly, here, Ben Beizi wants to say thank you." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, the little prince is polite, this is what the lower officials and others should do."

Tasian was ordered by his uncle to embarrass Hongqing last time, but he didn't expect that things didn't work out, and he lost face in public, and was scolded by his uncle fiercely afterwards, and he had already held a grudge against Hongqing in his heart. Tasian just laughed and didn't smile, and he didn't even bother to do the due courtesy.

"Well, Lord Tower's mind, Ben Beizi has remembered, there will be a good reward in the future, well, these days, Ben Beizi is busy studying, neglecting business, thanks to Lord Tower's diligence to maintain, Ben Beizi is really ashamed, fortunately, after so many days of digestion, Ben Beizi finally ate the essence of the affairs of the division, and it is time to be busy with business, otherwise, let people gossip to go to the small matter, in case the official ginseng on a table vegetarian is not a trick, this matter is so decided, from today onwards, but all the affairs of the division, All cases without the signature of this shellfish are invalid. ”

Hongqing didn't care about Tasi'an's rudeness, the smile on his face was still bright, but the words that came out of his mouth were not like that at all, and he had no scruples to seize the authority of the envoy of Du Shuiqing.

"Ah......h

Tasi'an was still standing there, but when he heard Hongqing say this, he was dumbfounded, looking at Hongqing like a chicken, and he couldn't even speak except for an exclamation.

"What? Does Lord Tata have any objections, huh? ”

Before Tasian came back to his senses, Hongqing's face changed in an instant, and his brilliant smile turned into a haze in the sky in a blink of an eye, and the words squeezed out of his teeth were full of gloomy meaning.

"Little prince, this, I'm afraid this is inappropriate, Xiaguan, Xiaguan ......"

Tasi'an can run rampant in the Ministry of Industry, relying on not all of his uncle's support, more is his hands to grasp the power of write-off, the rest of the divisions have to beg him to do things, if this kind of authority is taken away by Hongqing, then the fun can go to the sea, this is obviously not a weight that Tasi'an can bear, not to mention anything else, once this kind of authority is in Hongqing's hands, their uncle and nephew's lifeline must not be dragged by Hongqing in his hands, but reluctant to reluctantly, just Tasi'an's pasty head, For a while, I really couldn't find any legitimate reason to refuse.

"Wrong? What's wrong, Ben Beizi doesn't know, and please ask Lord Ta for advice, let's talk about it! ”

When the bayonet was red, Hongqing didn't care if Tasi'an was willing or unwilling, smiled coldly, and asked tightly.

"This, this ......, ah, little prince, it's like this, such a big thing, the lower officials really don't dare to say anything, and they have to be instructed by Lord Shangshu to do it, little prince, look at this ......"

Tasian couldn't find any good excuses, so he had no choice but to put forward a reason randomly, and turned in a contradiction, and brought out Samuha as a shield.

"Well, what Lord Ta said is reasonable, that's good, the left and right Sashangshu are also there, you go and ask for instructions, give you half an hour, go early and return early."

Hearing Tasi'an's words, Hongqing did not get angry, but his face turned slightly pale, nodded, and gave an order in a deep voice.

"This is natural, this is natural, the little prince, please wait, the next official will go, this will go."

Tasi'an's reason was born on the spot, and he didn't have any score in his heart, he was worried that Hongqing would go crazy about it, but he didn't expect Hongqing to agree like this, and his mood couldn't help but be relieved, how dare he stay here longer, nodded and coping with a few words, and then hurriedly exited the office, regardless of the image, he rushed to the Shangshu office not far away, that hurried little look, how embarrassed it is......
