Jingshi Jinyi Wei Zhen Fu Si Yamen.

Dozens of guards dressed in flying fish brocade robes opened the way, a blue nickname official sedan chair swayed leisurely, surrounded by guards, the official sedan chair stopped in front of the yamen, the guards respectfully opened the sedan curtain, wearing a crimson official uniform, embroidered with a qilin with teeth and claws on his chest Xiao Fan walked out of the official sedan chair, standing in front of the yamen and looking at the plaque in front of the door, his eyes were very deep, I don't know what he was thinking.

Seeing that the person who came was their immediate superior, the Jinyi captain on duty at the gate hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and shouted in unison: "See the commander." ”

Xiao Fan nodded with a cold expression, and walked towards the yamen.

Since returning to Beijing to the present, Xiao Fan has been busy with the ministers in Beijing to socialize, every time the food is invited, after being promoted to the national prince, he has already entered the lord team, and the descendants of the founding generals in Beijing also have to greet them, in the officialdom, even if you don't like to do some things, but you have to do it, the officialdom of the Beijing division is composed of one circle after another, if you want to have the right to speak in the court, Xiao Fan must maintain a good relationship with each circle.

It was only now that Xiao Fan made time to enter the yamen office.

Walking into the Yamen of the Zhenfu Division, the front yard was still busy, countless people hurriedly walked around, and when they saw Xiao Fan entering the door, everyone was stunned, and then woke up like a dream, and hurriedly knelt down to the ground to salute.

Xiao Fan pursed his lips, his eyes swept around, and his brows furrowed unconsciously.

"How can there be so many fresh faces?" Xiao Fan turned his head and asked Cao Yi.

Cao Yi is still a thousand households of Jinyiwei, and when he heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he sneered: "In the year you were not in Jingshi, Master Ji led the Jinyiwei Yamen, maybe he didn't like the old people at the beginning, and all of them were replaced by new people." ”

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Fan's eyes, and he quickly returned to normal.

"That's it, just change it, don't lose your duties, just do your own thing......"

While speaking, Xiao Fan walked inside, but there was a little resentment in his heart.

As long as he is in charge of a yamen, he can let go of other powers, but the personnel power and financial power must be firmly grasped in his hands, otherwise his subordinates will have no constraints, how can they be in awe of him?

Ji Gang's hand stretched too long.

After entering the third hall and passing through a dark grove, Xiao Fan walked into the room on the left side of the third hall, this room was his office, and all the intelligence and official affairs of Jinyiwei were handled by Xiao Fan in this room.

After the door opened, Xiao Fan frowned, covered his nose and took two steps back, seeing that the door was still neat and tidy, and there was no mountain of official documents waiting for him to deal with it as imagined on the long bookcase, just a few pieces of paper and pencil empty.

"What's going on? Kumon ......"

Cao Yi didn't wait for Xiao Fan's words to finish, so he took the time to point to the opposite room, which was the room where the deputy commander Ji Gang worked.

"Understood, the official documents have been sent to Master Ji, right?"

Cao Yi nodded.

"In other words, I'm the conductor right now, like an ornament, just for appreciation, right?" Xiao Fan's tone gradually contained anger.

"That's pretty much it."

Xiao Fan took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart again.

He knew that Ji Gang was ambitious, but he didn't expect Ji Gang to seize power so quickly, he didn't say a word, changed people, took over official affairs, and completely hung up his rightful Jinyi guard commander, and emptied his power, and his subordinates usurped the power of his boss, which is a taboo in officialdom.

Being a man and doing things, accumulating virtue and doing good is the king's way, and if you do too much without virtue, sooner or later it will be your turn to be unlucky, and there is a lesson in front of you.

Turning his head, Xiao Fan pointed to his face and asked Cao Yi coldly: "Look at it, take a closer look at my face, do you see anything?" ”

Cao Yi looked at it for a long time, spread his hands and said, "There is really nothing to say except for being handsome." ”

"Ah, thank you...... No, that's not the point! Didn't you notice that I look particularly good at bullying today? ”

Cao Yi touched his chin and thought deeply: "If you don't say it, you don't think it, when you say it, it really means a little bit." ”

Xiao Fan snorted angrily: "Should you be a vase if you are handsome?" It's not my fault that I'm handsome! ”

Cao Yi: "............"

"Brother Cao, you go and call Yuan Zhong, when I left Beijing, I promoted him to the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and entrusted him to act as the affairs of the yamen, and that's how he did things for me?"

Cao Yi left in response.

It didn't take long for Cao Yi to hurriedly enter the house, his face furious.

"My lord, Yuan Zhong is not in the Yamen."

Xiao Fan said: "If you're not here, you're not here, why are you so angry?" ”

Cao Yi snorted: "You better go and see for yourself." ”

Xiao Fan frowned, got up and walked towards the room where Yuan Zhong worked.

Pushing open the door, there was a middle-aged man wearing a flying fish suit sitting next to the bookcase that should have belonged to Yuan Zhong, who looked very unfamiliar and Xiao Fan didn't know.

The middle-aged man was taken aback when he saw Xiao Fan coming in, and quickly got up to bypass the bookcase and bowed down to Xiao Fan.

"Xiaguan Pang Ying, I have seen the commander."

Xiao Fan looked around left and right, didn't even look at Pang Ying, and asked coldly, "What about Yuan Zhong?" Isn't this room his? ”

Pang Ying's forehead was sweating slightly, and he said, "This...... Lord Xiao Mingjian, Yuan Zhong ...... He has been arrested and taken to prison. ”

Xiao Fan was taken aback, then he turned his head and stared at Pang Ying: "Yuan Zhong is in prison?" When was this? Why doesn't the official know? ”

Pang Ying bowed, didn't dare to raise his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Xiaguan...... The lower officials don't know. ”

Xiao Fan's eyes widened, his eyes exuded a bit of murderous intent, and he said word by word: "This official asks you again, why did Yuan Zhong go to prison?" ”

The air froze, as if a pair of hands were pinching Pang Ying's neck, making him breathless.

"Xiaguan...... The lower officials only heard that Yuan Zhong disrespected the Shangguan and was taken into the edict by the deputy commander Ji this morning......" Pang Ying's legs trembled, and he kept wiping the sweat on his head.

"Disrespectful? What kind of bullshit justification is this? Xiao Fan was furious.

Cao Yi said coldly on the side: "I'm afraid that Lord Ji likes his subordinates, Lao Yuan is too cold and hard, and he can't pull his face to pat his ass, and Lord Ji doesn't like it." ”

Xiao Fan's eyes stared at Pang Ying like a poisonous snake: "Yuan Zhong is in prison, who are you?" Why in his house? ”

Pang Ying trembled more and more, and said in a trembling voice: "Xia Guan used to be a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, and he was appreciated by Lord Ji, and he just replaced Yuan Zhong's position this morning and was promoted to the commander of Jinyi Wei......"

"Appreciation?" Xiao Fan smiled coldly.

Cao Yi was happy: "A small hundred households were directly promoted to the commander of the affairs, his mother's promotion was faster than Lao Tzu, and the huge person must be a rare talent, so that Master Ji will promote you without sticking to one pattern." ”

Facing the fierce gaze of the two, Pang Ying lowered his head with a pale face, not daring to say a word.

Xiao Fan looked at Pang Ying coldly, seeing that his eyes were evasive, his eyes showed a bit of deceit, and he looked out of the door from time to time, as if waiting for someone to rescue him, and immediately Xiao Fan knew in his heart that this guy was most likely a party of Ji Gang, and the two of them were embarrassed, and Yuan Zhong was in prison and the Pang Ying in front of him was inseparable.

A good brocade guard yamen, was actually made a miasma by Ji Gang, the officials who worked diligently at the beginning were replaced, and the people who were promoted were all a bunch of people who met and beat horses, only knew the waste of fighting in the nest, and this yamen began to rot from the bones.

Xiao Fan was angry, he felt very sad, and worked hard for several years to make the title of Jinyiwei win a good reputation among the court and the people, but he went out to fight for a year, and was picked by Ji Gang, pick it, but he turned the good fruit into a rotten fruit, which was really unacceptable to Xiao Fan.

No wonder when he was not in Jingshi, Ji Gang had the courage to harm the minister, lawlessness to the extreme, it turned out that Jinyiwei had been in the hands of Ji Gang, and his own genuine commander was unconsciously set aside by Ji Gang.

Is it tolerable, or is it intolerable? In the past and present life, only Xiao Fan robbed other people's shares, and no one dared to rob his things!

Staring at Pang Ying for a long time, Xiao Fan was so angry that he trembled, and after a long time, Xiao Fan shouted violently: "Someone!" ”

"In!" Several personal guards appeared and clenched their fists.

Xiao Fan turned around and left, and coldly dropped a sentence: "Take off this Pang Ying's black yarn, strip off the official clothes, and hang him at the door of the yamen for me, who dares to let him down without permission, behead!" ”

"Yes!" The guards shouted in unison.

Pang Ying was in a hurry, knelt down with a thud, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Xiao, the lower official is not guilty, why are you taking me?" The lower official is not guilty! ”

Xiao Fan ignored it, walked out of the house quickly, Cao Yi followed, the guards only listened to Xiao Fan's orders, no matter how Pang Ying yelled, stepped forward and hit it with his hand, the black gauze hat on Pang Ying's head was knocked away, and there was a stabbing sound, the crimson official uniform was also torn by the guards, Pang Ying was only wearing a white undershirt, and was shocked and angry by the guards on both sides, dragged out of the house, and went straight to the door of the yamen.

Pang Ying roared angrily, kept scolding in his mouth, the guards listened impatiently, and slashed the back of Pang Ying's head with his backhand, Pang Ying fainted without snorting, and let the guards drag them to the gate like dead dogs.

The yamen was full of people, and Xiao Fan's movement was not small, and it suddenly spread throughout the entire yamen, many hundreds of households, wrestlers, and school captains gathered in a circle, watching Pang Ying, the commander who had just taken office for less than a day, being dragged out by Xiao Fan's guards, and everyone's eyes were full of horror.

Xiao Fan entered his office room with a pale face, and Cao Yi followed behind and asked, "My lord, do you want to go to the edict prison now to release Lao Yuan?" ”

Xiao Fan shook his head and said coldly: "Yuan Zhong will stay in the edict first, whoever puts him in, who releases him, since he has made a move, I must hit this slap loudly!" ”

While Pang Ying was hung on the flagpole at the door by the guards, Ji Gang, the deputy commander of the Jinyi Guard, got the letter, hurried to the yamen, and walked into Xiao Fan's house.

"Xia Guan has seen Grandpa Guo." Ji Gang bowed as soon as he entered the door.

Xiao Fan said coldly: "Excuse me, this official can't stand Lord Ji's courtesy." ”

Ji Gang's expression remained unchanged, straightened up and said: "The lower official heard that Grandpa Guo withdrew Pang Ying as soon as he came today, presumably it must be Pang Ying's bastard who offended Grandpa Guo, and Grandpa Guo should give a little punishment, so that these blind-eyed bastards can understand some rules." ”

"A little punishment? No, Master Ji, you are wrong, this official does not intend to punish lightly......"

Ji Gang's face changed: "Grandpa Guo means ......"

Xiao Fan said coldly: "First hang Pang Ying on the flagpole in front of our yamen for three days, and if Pang Ying is not dead three days later, he will be escorted to the vegetable market and beheaded!" Pang Ying's entire clan was exiled to Qiongnan. ”

A flash of anger flashed on Ji Gang's face, and he said in a deep voice: "Grandpa Guo, I don't know what crime Pang Ying committed and was punished so heavily?" ”

Xiao Fan stared at Ji Gang and said, "This official asked Master Ji rhetorically, what crime did Yuan Zhong commit by commanding his servant?" ”

"Yuan Zhong doesn't listen to the orders of the lower officials, and the public often slanders the lower officials in private, shouldn't such disrespectful officials be punished?"

"Take him down if he doesn't like a few words, Master Ji is so powerful......"

"Grandpa Guo, please forgive the subordinate officials for being presumptuous, the country has national laws, the family has family rules, Yuan Zhong targets the subordinate officials everywhere, if the subordinate officials do not punish him, how can the deputy commander of the dignified Jinyi Guard serve the public?" Ji Gang said with a heartfelt speech.

Bang!

Xiao Fan stood up, slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily: "According to what you say, Master Ji, you are now contradicting this official, should this official also take you down and punish you?" ”

Ji Gang's face turned red, he held back his breath, bowed down and hugged his fists and said, "How dare Xia Guan contradict Grandpa Guo?" The lower official is just arguing with the grandfather of the country......"

Xiao Fan said coldly: "Master Ji wants to be reasonable, right?" Okay, then let's talk about reasoning, Yuan Zhong was disrespectful to Shangguan and committed Lord Ji's tiger power, Lord Ji arrested and killed him, he deserved it, the same reason, Pang Ying is disrespectful to the official, and the official can also kill him, right? ”

"Dare to ask Grandpa Guo, how did Pang Ying disrespect you?"

"I said yes, he had, Master Ji, don't you believe it?"

"Forgive the offense of the lower officials, the lower officials really don't believe it."

"It doesn't matter if you believe it or not, I believe it anyway."

Ji Gang was angry: "Didn't Grandpa Guo just say that he wanted to be reasonable?" ”

"You're messing around in front of me, what else can I tell you? Isn't that a fool? ”

Ji Gang was dizzy for a while, messing around? Who's messing around?

With his mind racing, Ji Gang suddenly understood Xiao Fan's intention to do this.

This guy made it clear that he was killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, and he wanted to use such a way to stand up in front of the officials and subordinates of the Jinyi Guard, and loudly announce that he was back!

Prestige is the same as power, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, Xiao Fan's prestige has been re-established, in other words, Ji Gang's face has been trampled under his feet, if he is allowed to kill Pang Ying, how will he Ji Gang gain a foothold in the Jinyi Wei Yamen in the future?

After a few thoughts, Ji Gang quickly made a decision.

The anger on his face suddenly ended, Ji Gang's face was quickly covered with a smile, and he said with a hearty smile: "Grandpa Guo, the lower official has just figured it out, Yuan Zhong is a straightforward and taciturn person, the so-called disrespect for the official, I'm afraid I misunderstood......"

Xiao Fan also smiled, smiling as hypocritically as Ji Gang: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding, so the official is relieved, misunderstanding, it's good to say it, everyone makes mistakes, and the most important thing is that mistakes can be corrected, Lord Ji, are you right?" ”

Ji Gang's expression froze, and then he smiled again: "What Grandpa Guo said is extremely true, the lower official will order someone to release Yuan Zhong, and the official will be reinstated......

"No, no......" Xiao Fan shook his head, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold: "This official thinks that it is better to bother Lord Ji to personally go to the prison and release Yuan Zhong, so you can't hurt the hearts of your subordinates, Lord Ji, what do you say?" ”

"Xiaguan...... Yes, sir! Ji Gang's smiling face froze, and he gritted his teeth in response.

Xiao Fan sighed with satisfaction: "A ball of harmony, full of joy, the world is full of love, the world is full of sunshine, how good it ......"

"Grandpa Guo, Pang Ying, he ......"

"How long has Yuan Zhong been imprisoned?"

"I was in prison this morning, less than three hours."

"Then hang Pang Ying for three hours and then let him down, as the deputy commander, Master Ji always has a bowl of water, and he can't favor one over the other and hurt the hearts of his subordinates......" Xiao Fan smiled like a kind and harmless angel.

“…………”

Ji Gang's newly promoted Jinyi Guard commander was hung on the flagpole by the British Duke Xiao Fan for three hours, and the matter spread throughout the Jiuqing Yamen of the Sixth Department of the Beijing Division at the first time.

Asano was shocked!

What a resounding slap in the face!

Everyone applauded, and the eyes of all the ministers in the court suddenly focused on the two parties, Xiao Fan and Ji Gang.

Everyone knows that the contradiction between these two people has gradually become clear, and who will dominate the Ming Dynasty in the future will depend on who wins or loses in the two people's fighting methods.
