Among the three towns of Wuhan in later generations, before the Han River was diverted into the Yangtze River, Hankou Town was still just a Luzhou. Hanyang Wuchang faces each other across the river, and the role of Hanyang Mansion is mainly in commerce and trade, while Wuchang Mansion is a military location. Although Xiangyang and Jingzhou are also famous, when the capital of Huguang was established in the early Ming Dynasty, it finally followed the provincial setting of the Yuan Dynasty and elected Wuchang as the seat of the political secretary. In addition to the two yamen of Jiangxia County and Wuchang Mansion, in the city of Wuchang Mansion, there are still three divisions: the political department, the judicial department, and the command envoy department, plus the governor's yamen, and the inspection court of the imperial history director, there are several sets of teams.

Among them, the procuratorate located in Chayuan Street, Wuchang Prefecture, has the most transcendent status. The governor is directly responsible to the Imperial Inspectorate, and is not subject to any other yamen, only the governor is attached to the constitutional position of the Imperial Procuratorate, and he can ask the governor to cooperate with his own work in the text. However, such a glorious official position is only seven grades, and once you are too proud in office, if you are transferred out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in the future, as soon as others suppress it, your future will immediately be worried. Therefore, the predecessors of the countless Imperial Inspectorates have summed up a great experience.

That is, it is good to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree! Behind each imperial history, there is mostly the shadow of a big man in the court.

And now Huguang Patrol according to the imperial history Lei Ji Gu Lei Qingtian, undoubtedly has the toughest backstage, today's first auxiliary high arch Gao Xin Zheng! Because they are both tough and bold personalities, Lei Jigu is of course very grateful to Gao Gong for promoting himself, and he has previously impeached twenty or thirty people in Huguang Liangdao, and Gao Gong has all dealt with them with a stroke of a pen. This made him full of admiration for this Shousuke. Now, he had just returned from Xiangyang Mansion, and he was flipping through the desk files in front of visitors. Only then did he raise his head at the end.

"Such a sensational big case. Since the Hanyang County Decree has the intention to suppress it for the sake of political achievements, and cannot be judged impartially, this constitution should come forward and give justice to the victims! ”

"The servant is really worthy of the name of the blue sky, if Yuan Weng was the first to override the public opinion, let the servant royal patrol Huguang for the second time, it is really wise. I hope that Lei Shiyu will succeed in this trip. ”

There were less than fifty visitors. The man is a little thin, and his two eyes are one big and one small, and the small eye is often squinted, and it looks like a squint. He sat on the chair, his back straight, and laughed and talked with Lei Jigu for a while, before he got up and left. When he was out of the house, the little servant brought the horses, and he jumped up vigorously, but he did not go far. He glanced back as if he was aware of it, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

This Wuchang city. Someone stalking him?

He immediately commanded in a low voice: "Ngawang, go to the back and see, where is the thief who doesn't have eyes." ”

"Yes, Master Shao."

When the person returned to the inn room, holding a cup of tea in his hand and sitting down peacefully, Ngawang, who had just left, pulled a cowering man in, threw the person on the ground, arched his hand and said, "Master Shao, this is the person." According to him, it was the second master of Bao on Xin'an Street in Hankou Town, and he heard about the thunder plague god...... No, it was Lei Shiyu who came back from Xiangyang, and he was panicked, so he came to the procuratorate to investigate, and when he saw Shao Ye coming out, he stared at him, planning to find out Shao Ye's identity and go home to report to the master. ”

The man on the ground couldn't help but glance at the appearance of the person on the seat when he heard the entourage Shao Ye one by one, but he couldn't help but shudder and hurriedly lowered his head when he heard the cold light from the pair of big and small eyes. Sure enough, after only a moment, he heard a voice from the top that was not salty or light: "Want to ask who I am?" Why don't you ask openly, I haven't planned to hide it yet. Go back and tell your master, the old man Danyang Shao Fang, known as the Danyang hero, this time he just went to Huguang to visit friends, as for going to see Lei Shiyu, it was the acting head of the high pavilion to send a letter, and he would leave in a few days. ”

When such a news was delivered to Master Bao, someone almost didn't bite his tongue. However, he found the inn but pounced, so he could only wait here by himself, and at the same time let people go to the Hanyang County Yamen and the Governor's Yamen to investigate, but neither side had gotten the news, but Wang Fulin finally came back. Second Master Bao, who stepped forward, grabbed Wang Fulin's arms and said in a very low voice: "I sent someone to keep an eye on Lei Shiyu, but I found that Danyang Shao Daxia had just come out of the Thunder Plague God, this person claimed to be the acting head of the Gao Pavilion Elder to deliver the letter, how could it be such a coincidence, there must be a problem!" ”

I only saw Xinchang Lu Gongzi last time, and this time I want to face Danyang Shao Daxia again?

Although Wang Fulin expected that the patrol of the Imperial Shi Lei Jigu was only afraid that he would be pampered by others, but the person who was pampered was so high-end and high-grade, he still couldn't help but smack his tongue secretly.

It's just that in front of the second master Bao, who was already obviously out of order, he tried his best to comfort: "Second master, you don't have to worry too much, you know, Yuan Fu Gaoge is a person who has a lot of opportunities, how can he be distracted to care about the dispute over the dock in a small Hankou town?" If it was really this Danyang Shao Daxia who picked up that Lei Shiyu, he must have other plans, so he made waves in the name of Yuanfu. Perhaps, the Dongting Gang suddenly had such confidence and chose such an opportunity, and it was Shao Fang who pleaded with it. ”

He casually made a judgment, but Second Master Bao immediately took it seriously, and immediately lost his voice and whispered: "It is indeed very likely!" The Huguang Merchant Gang is just selling some grain and timber and other goods, which can compare to the family business of our Hui merchants, and there are usually provocations on a small scale, and it is the first time that there has been such a fight before! So what can I do, even if Shao Fang is a fox and a fake tiger, but since he is a guest of Lei Shiyu, who would dare to bite him? If Zhou Xianzun knew, he might have to retreat. Moreover, there is no evidence that Shao Fang is behind his back. ”

"I'll do that." When Wang Fulin saw that Second Master Bao actually believed it, he was suddenly a little caught off guard, could this kind of thing also be said by his crow's mouth? He rubbed his eyebrows with some distress, and finally had to decide to go all the way to the dark, and it was too late to quit now.

"In this way, since that Shao Fang Da Lama directly reported the origin, then you don't have to hide it, just call all the sufferers, and go to the Hanyang County Ya early tomorrow morning to complain. Remember, loud noise, miserable crying, and other things. You don't care about anything. Except for that Bao Shu City. Give me the person who has stalked about Shao Fang, and give me a few more people who are familiar with Hankou, Hanyang, Wuchang, and other places. In addition, the other two people in charge of Xin'an Wharf, you can also go and say hello, I want to pay a visit to them. ”

warned the person sent by the second master Bao to keep an eye on him, but Shao Fang did not hold it up, but quietly changed an inn.

He came to Huguang with only two retinues. But it was not because of the entrustment of the high arch, but because of himself. He came into contact with Xu Jie and Gao Gong successively, and participated in the overall operation of Gao Gong's complexion, not only because Xu Jie rejected him, but because his family had received the help of Gao Gong's brother Gao Jie.

When his father debuted, Gao Gong's eldest brother Gao Jie was the eldest brother on the road at that time, and the name of the third uncle was extremely loud. When idlers want to break their heads, they won't understand that Gao Jie, who is already a well-known person, is still traveling, and once worked part-time to rob the rich and help the poor, and his father got a gift at the most difficult time. Then Gao Jie Jinshi and the first into the official career. disappeared on the road, and he was also a coincidence. found out that the admiral Cao Jiang Gao, who was famous on the battlefield of the anti-Japanese war, turned out to be the third uncle of Gao, so he secretly wrote it down. When Gao Jie died in the second year of Longqing a few years ago, he also went to pay respects.

Now that Gao Gong is reinstated, he has successfully retired and did not stay in Beijing, and he went south to Huguang not for anything else, but for the second assistant Zhang Juzheng!

Although Zhang Juzheng said that after Gao Gong returned to the court, he gave up the cabinet seat, and he was always respectful to Gao Gong, and he personally wrote poems to celebrate Gao Gong's birthday at the beginning of the year, but he always felt that Zhang Juzheng was inconsistent and duplicitous!

Only after Chong Gao Gong became a reappearance, he remembered his kindness and thanked him in every way, instead of secretly looking for an opportunity to kill him, he agreed with this Yuanfu who acted brightly.

Even so, even if Gao Gong didn't have this idea at all, he still had to do some things in advance, and transferred the handle of Zhang Juzheng's old friend Xu Xuemo to Lei Jigu, prompting him to impeach Xu Xuemo for corruption, which was the first step to test Zhang Juzheng.

As for the dispute over the wharf in Hankou Town, Lei Jigu was involved in it, and when the time came, he would have to take care of all kinds of lawlessness of those Hui merchants, which was the second step to provoke Wang Daokun and test Zhang Juzheng.

And those Dongting merchants gave rich gifts to the old man in Zhang Juzheng's family, and even many people claimed to be Jiangling people, this battle between the Hui merchants and the Dongting merchants might be able to put some knives between Zhang Juzheng and Wang Daokun. This is the third step to test Zhang Juzheng.

Therefore, on the night after the relocation, Shao Fang, who was a master of art, came to Hankou Town, arranged in the middle, and ordered people to contact each other, on the one hand, to fan the flames for those merchants of the Dongting Merchant Gang, and on the other hand, to tease the woman who ran to Wang Daokun's nephew to ask for justice. However, early the next morning, he was about to return to the Wuchangfu Inn from Hankou Town, when he had just arrived at the ferry, when he heard a commotion.

"Those Xin'an people carried the coffin to Hanyang County to file a complaint!"

"Didn't I hear that the Bao, Huang, and Xu families on Xin'an Street gave a lot of money to appease the bitter master, why did they sue again?"

"Who knows, there are dozens of people, and the momentum is very ...... By the way, someone also saw the second master Bao inside! ”

Shao Fang, who was about to get on the boat and return to Wuchang Mansion, suddenly retracted his feet. He didn't ask the two entourages to come forward to inquire, but decided to go directly to Hanyang County Ya by himself. He followed the people who complained from afar, watched them enter the city all the way, and saw that the second largest building in the city of Hanyang Mansion was in sight, and he heard from passers-by that Zhou County Decree actually went straight to the paper, and the trial was immediately opened today, and he suddenly felt that everything was beyond his expectations. In order to create the illusion of tranquility under the rule, it is said that the Zhou County Commander has been desperately suppressing the murder case, and this time I looked at the many preparations in the early stage, which was also for this goal, how could he suddenly change his temperament?

I don't know how long it took, there was a sound of gongs opening the way from behind, and then the surrounding people shouted loudly: "Look, Lei Qingtian is also here!" ”

And not far away, a man pointed at Shao Fang, and said to Wang Fulin on the side tremblingly: "Little official, the one who is dressed in black, with big eyes and small eyes, and a sparse beard is Danyang Shao Daxia!" ”

Wang Fulin quickly found Shao Fang in the crowd, and saw that the other party was keenly aware of someone watching, and looked over here, he pressed the man next to him down and squatted, and he deliberately raised his hand to make a gesture of greeting others, and when the other party focused his eyes on the direction where Lei Jigu came, he quietly pulled the man who pointed at the person just now and withdrew from the crowd. He deliberately stayed in this place where he could see people coming from all directions, just to wait for the rabbit to see if Shao Fang would come, but he didn't expect people to really come, but he was unexpected.

He didn't plan to watch the scene in the county yamen immediately, but he took the opportunity to have a good activity outside when all important people like Lei Jigu and Shao Fang were dragged to the yamen! (To be continued......)
