Officialdom has the rules of officialdom, since ancient times, the people who are officials are like the stars in the sky are innumerable, but the clean officials who can really achieve a clear conscience are like gold dust in the mud and sand, which is more difficult to find. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoSometimes it's not that you want to be greedy, but when you get to that position, there will be countless people who will jump out and force you to be greedy. It is no exaggeration to say that someone will put a knife on your neck, and they will either be greedy or die.

You can sue, but if you can't stand the boss, you are a big corrupt official, and as for the overstepping of the level to sue, unless the official doesn't want to be the official, no one will do such a stupid thing.

Tian Kuo thinks that he is not a Qing official who is as clear as water and as bright as a mirror, but in the ranks of corrupt officials, he has the conscience of heaven and earth! He's really quite incorruptible. With the backing of his family's forces, he can ignore a lot of bribes that are forced to come to the door, and he has an obvious Tian brand.

This is not an unknown secret, most of the officials in the DPRK and China have the shadow of a big family behind them, and the higher the official position, the more so. Without the support of family energy, it is almost impossible to survive in officialdom. No one takes this seriously, including Tian Kuo.

But today there is such a ruffian, who arrogantly uses the soft place that everyone has to embarrass himself, in addition to anger, Tian Kuo even felt a trace of inexplicable amusement. Do you really think that you can bring down him, a fourth-grade master? It's ridiculous! As long as I see the emperor, I believe that he will never make any fuss about this matter.

The involvement is too wide, unless he is determined to brush off seventy percent of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, the emperor will never dare to condemn him with this kind of thing. He thought it through, but he ignored the two most critical issues, the emperor was not so easy to see. In addition, it is true that the Xiangyang Tian clan is the Great Zhou clan, but it is not one of the top two wealthy families. The development of the family is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and if you want to climb up, how can you not offend people. The forces in the DPRK and China are intricately intertwined, and there are not a few who applaud Tian Kuo's fall.

Take advantage of your illness and kill you, how can you miss such a great opportunity? Therefore, except for a few forces that were friendly with the Tian family, most of them remained silent and chose to watch from the sidelines. The sound of unevenness gradually became smaller, and Zhou Ang's courage naturally increased.

He did things very neatly, and less than half a day after Tian Kuo was imprisoned, Zhou Ang went to extort a confession in person.

The local ruffians, who have no other skills, often go in and out of prisons, and under the influence of their ears and eyes, they have quite a lot of experience in extorting confessions by torture, not only completely inheriting the existing punishment of the Great Zhou, but even being unconventional, and on this basis, they have developed a lot of methods to torment people.

Tian Kuo is sixty years old, even the most ordinary torture may not be able to withstand it, when Zhou Ang took out those strange punishments, the old man fainted on the spot. hasn't been happy for too long, and then I'm woken up by cold water, how to fix or how to fix. Before a cup of tea arrived, the old guy couldn't stand it anymore and decisively pleaded guilty.

Early the next morning, Dali Temple had already dealt with it. Tian Kuo was dismissed from all positions, his entire family was temporarily detained, Tian's mansion was confiscated, and then he was convicted according to the unknown amount of property owned by Tian Kuo.

poured a four-grade master, put it in the entire court, it is nothing. After all, in terms of Tian Kuo's official position, he doesn't even have the qualifications to enter the palace, and the size of his official position is also relative. Moreover, the cause of the incident was indeed Tian Kuo's provocation first, coupled with Zhou Ang's unreasonable retaliation methods, which made people look down on it a little. This incident did not attract much attention.

Tian Kuo pleaded guilty, and the raid was carried out in an orderly manner, just when everyone thought that the matter was about to settle, but they didn't want to have two days before they arrived, and there were waves again.

In the testimony against Tian Kuo, he owned an antique vase of blue and white that was not found inside or outside Tianfu. This is a trivial matter, the thing is an antique, it may have been sold, or it may have been accidentally smashed, according to the rules of inspection on weekdays, those who have not found it will not be investigated. But Zhou Ang didn't think so, and he went to the prison again.

After staying in prison for half an hour, after returning to Yushitai, he immediately asked someone to write a letter for him and handed it over, and then took a ticket of palace guards and went straight to Xuantai Zhenfusi.

Xuantai Zhenfu Division is a subordinate agency of the Jingwei Command and Envoy Division, the number of officials is not very large, and its role is similar to the "auxiliary police" of later generations, eating the imperial court, but it is not in the regular official establishment. Most of them are meritorious soldiers, who were canonized by the imperial court as an idle official position, and then sent to the Zhenfu Department for training and qualifications, and when there was an official vacancy in the command and envoy department, they were recommended by the Zhenfu Department to replace the officials.

Under this relationship, the Zhenfu Division is barely half of the military department, and the Zhenfu Ji Jiaocheng is the eldest son of the commander Ji Xiangwen, and Ji Xiangwen is Ji Chong's righteous son, and he is the most staunch royalist.

Over the years, everyone in the Zhenfu Division has also developed some tempers, people don't offend me, I don't offend people, peace of mind and seniority, the world is the best peace. But when others came to the door, this group of people did not carry the word "afraid", and immediately stopped Zhou Ang.

"No trespassing!"

"Yushitai is handling the case, this official has come to Zina to make a crime, get out of the way!" It's just a few watchdogs, how can Zhou Ang give them face, and immediately shouted with a straight face.

"Yushitai handling the case?" Hearing this, the people of the Zhenfu Division couldn't help but glance at each other, and suddenly laughed out loud. The person who stopped at the front said with disdain: "Even if you are handling the case, it should also be Dali Temple, which onion is your Yushitai?" The dog takes the mouse...

When the ridicule sounded, Zhou Ang's face had gradually sunk, and after the official of the Zhenfu Division spoke, before he could finish a sentence, Zhou Ang suddenly clenched his fist and smashed his left cheek hard. The man could never have imagined that the other party would dare to beat someone in front of his yamen, and without preparation, he was beaten to the ground firmly, covering his cheeks, staring at Zhou Ang in disbelief for a moment, and then immediately shouted: "Someone comes to the door to make trouble, go and call someone!" ”

Call someone? This can be in the middle of Zhou Ang's arms. This guy is a ruffian, and his favorite thing is to call people to fight in groups, in line with the mentality of not taking advantage of the king, he immediately ordered: "Come on, beat them to death for me, and the official will bear the burden if something happens." ”

Everyone who came out of the palace knew that the emperor was the most favored person in the imperial history at present, and he rushed forward without hesitation when he heard the words. More than thirty people against four, this is a battle without suspense, the wail suddenly sounded, and there was chaos outside the door of the Zhenfu Division.

There were more and more onlookers, which made Zhou Ang feel that he had been noticed, and he was even more proud in his heart, and he actually joined the battle group in person under the itching of his hands.

"Stop!" The noise finally attracted the attention of the officials in the Department of Suppression, and Ji Jiaocheng walked out quickly with a dozen officials. With just one glance, his face immediately became gloomy, and he said coldly: "Lord Zhou, what do you mean by this?" ”

Lord Zhou? These words suddenly tickled Zhou Ang's itch, he has lived for nearly twenty years, and he was called an adult when he met for the first time, and Ji Jiaocheng was the first, so he had a good impression of him.

Zhou Ang's face softened slightly, his ruthlessness faded, and he said, "Stop!" What do you call this adult? What is the official position? ”

Ji Jiaocheng first ordered someone to carry the beaten dead person to seek medical treatment, and then he replied: "This official is calming the division, Ji Jiaocheng." Lord Zhou, if this official is not mistaken, it seems that my Zhenfu Division has never offended you, and there has never been any intersection with Yushitai. Why did the adults come to the door and make it difficult for the official? ”

"Ji-sama misunderstood." Zhou Ang learned a half-baked official theory seriously, and said with a slight smile: "This official doesn't want to embarrass you, it's just that Tian Kuo's case involves a thousand households in the Zhenfu Division, and this official just came here, hoping to invite him to cooperate with the investigation." I didn't know that these four people were obstructing them and didn't know how to lift them, so they taught them a little lesson. ”

"A lesson?" Ji Jiaocheng was furious when she heard this. "People are about to be beaten to death by you, is this a little lesson?"

"That's it." Zhou Ang was quite proud. "If the official doesn't spare his hand, then he won't be killed soon, these four people are already dead. Lord Ji, this official doesn't want to embarrass you, but this official is ordered to investigate and handle Tian Kuo's case, and he can't find any privacy, and he also asks Lord Ji to hand over Liu Dai. ”

A middle-aged man in his thirties immediately flashed behind Ji Jiaocheng. "I am Liu Dai, dare to ask Lord Zhou, what did the subordinate commit?"

Zhou Ang sneered and replied: "Previously, Tian Kuo asked you to help his nephew arrange a position in the Zhenfu Division, and you not only complied, but also promised him that within two years, he would promote his nephew to climb to the position of a hundred households, for which Tian Kuo also gave you an antique vase, can there be such a thing?" ”

"So what?" Liu Dai Langsheng replied: "Xiaguan was supported by Lord Tian back then, so he reciprocated the favor and introduced his nephew to take the formal way, and there was no illegal behavior. This is just a personal exchange in the officialdom, no matter how ordinary it is, and the lower officials admit that there is nothing wrong with it. ”

In the face of Liu Dai's words, Zhou Ang's eyes became more and more gloomy.
