Chapter 540: Investigation
"That's right...... Gao Hao sighed, "I've never seen Your Majesty like this, so it's a big deal." Director Xu www.biquge.info Pen Fun Pavilion, do you know what's going on? ”
Xu Jingchun was stunned, what else could Lu Chengqi be so concerned about during this period of time, except for the child abduction and trafficking case? This is a human trafficker hidden in the Dashun court, and his influence is all over Kuizhou Road, Zizhou Road, Guangnan West Road, Guangnan East Road and Fujian Road. Except for the wealthy Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, this almost secretly controls most of the south. Such a character, in the eyes of the emperor, is really a thorn in the eye, a thorn in the flesh, and he is not unhappy!
This is something that even a three-year-old child knows, and Xu Jingchun has thought of it a long time ago. If it was just a human trafficker, Lu Chengqi would not be so concerned, at most he would send an official from the Criminal Department, or Dali Siqing or something like that to investigate thoroughly. Lu Chengqi did the same before, but the plot took a sharp turn, and the mastermind behind this scene was actually the minister of the court. In this way, can Lu Chengqi not be careful, can he not be frightened? In case this person escapes, go to any of the roads such as Kuizhou Road and Zizhou Road, and pull up the anti-flag, Dashun will fall into civil strife again.
Xu Jingchun used to be a border soldier and was the most sensitive to war. Dashun's sworn enemy Liao has just softened, if there is civil strife together, maybe Liao will also draw a scoop according to the gourd and give Dashun a sneak attack. Under the internal and external troubles, it is even more difficult to stabilize the situation.
Xu Jingchun understands Lu Chengqi very well, and Lu Chengqi will not let his country fall into such a situation unless he has to. He should be prepared to meet expectations with one hit. So hearing Gao Hao's question, Xu Jingchun immediately became vigilant: "Grandpa Gao, I don't know!" ”
Gao Hao didn't care, he didn't have the heart to think about the dirtiness between these courtiers, he just wanted to serve Lu Chengqi wholeheartedly. can be the emperor's personal eunuch, and when he was replaced by the Ming and Qing dynasties, it was already a ******** high position, that is, the eunuch reached the top on the way. However, Gao Ho is still young and is looked down upon. If he makes a mistake, I don't know how many people applaud!
So Gao Ho lives in a state of nervous tension every day, and he is careful at every step, for fear of doing something wrong. But whatever Lu Chengqi wants to do, he tries his best to do it, and he is like this today. It is precisely because of this that Lu Chengqi felt that he was of great use, and continued to keep him as a personal little eunuch.
The two diverged the topic, chatted about something else, and soon arrived at the Dashun Palace. After entering from the Xuande Gate, through the corridor, you will arrive outside the vertical arch hall gate. Gao Hao stopped Xu Jingchun and said in a low voice: "Director Xu, you wait here, and wait for our family to tell Your Majesty." ”
"There is Father-in-law Lao!" Xu Jingchun didn't dare not give him face, after all, everyone was a celebrity in front of the emperor, but after all, Gao Hao often accompanied Lu Chengqi, if he said something bad about him, wouldn't he be asking for trouble?
Looking at the back of Gao Ho leaving, Xu Jingchun was thinking, what did the secret report Lu Chengqi see say in it? Is it a real name, or is it just some clues?
Before he could come up with an ugly man, Gao Hao came out: "Xu Jingchun of the Propaganda and Supervision Department will meet you!" ”
"Thank you, father-in-law!" The number of courtesies was sufficient, Gao Hao's face was full of pride, and he said: "Your Majesty is very eager, Director Xu must be prepared!" ”
Xu Jingchun bowed his hand again before stepping into the vertical arch hall. Sure enough, Lu Chengqi really paced, looking uncertain.
"Minister Xu Jingchun see Your Majesty!"
Xu Jingchun didn't dare to lack the number of courtesies, and he was most afraid that he would not be able to count the courtesies in the court. If there is a lack of courtesy, it will be said that it is a flying and domineering, and the emperor will not help but remember it in his heart. It's your momentary unintentional mistake, but you have also lost the emperor's trust in vain, and you can't get it. Xu Jingchun didn't know how to greet him, so he had to do enough etiquette, which made people less criticized, which was also a kind of wisdom.
Lu Chengqi didn't hear it at all, still carrying his hands behind his back and pacing. Xu Jingchun didn't dare to disturb, so he could only hunch his body, his hands in the shape of a slight arch, and froze there. After a long time, Lu Chengqi seemed to have made up his mind and said: "Xu Qing, you are the director of the Supervision Department, how many court officials live there in Taipingfang?" ”
Xu Jingchun didn't dare to straighten up, and replied when he heard the words: "Back to Your Majesty, Taipingfang is the place where the ministers of our dynasty live, and more than half of the Sipin Beijing officials have settled down in Taipingfang to build a house......"
Lu Chengqi was slightly surprised, and said, "Who are they?" ”
"Back to Your Majesty, Feng Chengping, the secretary of the Ministry of Etiquette, Jiang Yu, the privy envoy, Qian Zongfang, the right counselor, and Zhou Yanhua, the secretary of the Criminal Department, ......" Xu Jingchun was like a treasure, and he came without thinking, but the more Lu Chengqi listened, the more confused he became.
In the end, Lu Chengqi still gave up his guess, and professional things still have to be handed over to professionals. Lu Chengqi threw the rice paper on the dragon case to Xu Jingchun to see, Xu Jingchun held it with both hands, swept it roughly, and was shocked: "This ......"
"In the case of child abduction and trafficking, the person behind the scenes is living in Taiping Fang. This is what your Supervision Department tracked from Taiyuan Mansion to Chang'an City, and it took more than half a month to track it, so there should be no mistakes. After you go down, check these people one by one to see which one is the most suspicious. Lu Chengqi has always only cared about the results, and he ignores how the process is implemented.
Xu Jingchun's heart was full of resentment: "It's all tracked to Taipingfang, why can't you even find the mansion?" Little did he know that the messenger was so cunning that he had repeatedly disappeared the letter when he tracked it down. There are so many people coming and going in Chang'an City, and it is not easy to take people on the street, so it will be a surprise. After a long time of squatting, I finally understood that the person who delivered the letter had dropped the letter in Taipingfang. It's just that this person's methods are too clever, and no one in the Supervision Department can see through how he sent the letters.
As the saying goes, the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high. This man has done something wrong, so naturally he should be careful in everything. If it weren't for Lu Chengqi's heart, it would have been impossible to narrow down the scope to Taipingfang.
Seeing that Xu Jingchun was silent, Lu Chengqi thought that he was thinking about how to investigate, and said: "This matter is very important, Xu Qing must grasp the measurement of it, don't startle the snake." I'd rather solve the case later than make any side peculiarities. ”
Xu Jingchun hurriedly said: "The minister understands! ”
Lu Chengqi sighed and said: "I have always understood that no one is perfect, but to such a point of madness, I am still a minister of the court, which is unacceptable. If this person is not removed, the people will not be at peace for a day! "In fact, Lu Chengqi is still thinking about developing Jiangnan in his heart, this person has made these five roads into a miasma, and the people's grievances are boiling, how to display his ambitions? Only by bringing this case to the light can we take advantage of the situation to propose a new policy again.
It's just that the imperial court's control of Jiangnan is too poor, and at this time, the people of the Central Plains regard Jiangnan as a land of southern barbarians, and it is not a matter of time and a half to change their concepts. In the official history, it was also because of the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty that the Southern Song Dynasty established a dynasty in Jiangnan and brought the advanced production technology of the Central Plains into Jiangnan, and Jiangnan became a rich land. At present, in addition to the miasma, the south of the Yangtze River is full of water, and it is still very difficult to carry out large-scale development.
This is a matter for the future, and it is imperative to solve the case first. Xu Jingchun swore: "The minister must do his best to thoroughly investigate this case!" ”
Lu Chengqi admitted that he was not the material for handling the case, and chose to trust the professionals, nodded and said: "Very good, there is nothing else to do here, you can step down!" ”
Xu Jingchun bowed again: "The minister retires!" (To be continued.) )
