Chapter 17: Dense clouds do not rain

When Ye Xiaotian's prisoner car passed by the door of his house, his eyes stared at the dilapidated courtyard gate in the Qichang Hutong for a long time, until the car passed by, he was still staring infatuately, and Xiang Yicheng, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but be a little strange, and asked, "Lord Ye, what are you looking at?" ”

Ye Xiaotian retracted his gaze, smiled at him and shook his head.

Seeing the place where he had lived since he was a child, and seeing the courtyard door that he had pushed and closed countless times, Ye Xiaotian had an urge to walk in. There are too many memories of him, but people often say that he is a prisoner at the moment, and he doesn't want his old people to see what he looks like at the moment.

As soon as he entered Beijing City, Ye Xiaotian and Xiang Yicheng got into the prisoner car, and put on a real flail.

But the capital, that is where the real powerful are like clouds, here are dragons and tigers, no matter how heroic you are, you have to be low-key here.

Ye Xiaotian and Xiang Yicheng were to be sent to the Criminal Department first, and the Criminal Department received and placed them in residence, and then distributed the corresponding official documents to the Department of General Administration and the Ministry of Officials. Xiang Yicheng had to be decided by the Ministry of Officials to stay or go, and Ye Xiaotian's case was too important, so it needed to be reported to the imperial court by the General Administration Department for decision.

The two of them arrived at the Criminal Department, because the Criminal Department was just a matter of hand, so it was dealt with quickly, and Mr. Pi Vice Qian and the arrester of Ziyang County took out the approval documents respectively, and sent the two to the pavilion.

On the way, Ye Xiaotian said to Xiang Yicheng: "Lord Xiang, what I said before, please think about it." You have a life-saving grace for me. I want to pay back this love, so ...... If you lose your office. You might as well go to my Woniuling, I guarantee that you can show your strengths, and the monthly salary will far exceed the salary given to you by the imperial court. ”

Xiang Yicheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Thank you, Lord Ye, Xiang Mou's family is not worried about food, but the pity is that the fame that has been sought for ten years has been lost." Qiandi is too remote, and Xiang has parents in the high hall and doesn't want to travel too far. ”

Ye Xiaotian shook his head. Everyone has their own ambitions, and he is not easy to force. It's just a life-saving grace, although it is an unintentional move for Xiang Yicheng. Ye Xiaotian always kept it in his heart, since he didn't want to go to Guizhou, Ye Xiaotian thought about repaying him after finishing the matter in Beijing.

The two arrived at the inn. The post clerk placed them in separate quarters according to their official ranks. Mr. Pi Vice Qian and Ziyang County's arrest is now considered to have completed their official duties, and they can go home.

Ye Xiaotian was righteous, and specially paid for a few banquets, and invited them to eat a lot of seafood, and then sent them on the road. As soon as Vice President Pi and the others left, Ye Xiaotian's people came to the door.

Although Ye Xiaotian was a criminal officer who was to be punished, and there could be no one to wait for him, how could Li Qiuchi let Ye Xiaotian go to Beijing alone. They sent twelve guards, and they were far away from Vice President Pi and others. Always keep three miles away.

Now that Vice President Pi has completed his mission, and the post house does not prohibit Ye Xiaotian from meeting guests, these subordinates will naturally come to the door. Ye Xiaotian instructed them: "You go and inquire about something for me, and see if the people from the Xia family of Hongfeng Lake are still in the capital." ”

Those guards are all men from the mountains, and they are not proficient in these affairs, if they change Li Dazhuang, it will be much easier. Now listening to Ye Xiaotian's words, those guards were all at a loss, but they still agreed without hesitation.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaotian pointed out again: "I don't know where they live, nine times out of ten they have returned to Guizhou now, but it's better to inquire." In this way, if you go to the Ministry of Rites to inquire, even if they don't know about their travel to and from other places, the Ministry of Rites will definitely know. When you go, do not get into conflict with anyone, but inquire about things and make the way with gold and silver. ”

The guards were still a little dazed, they were good at fighting and killing, they had no clue about this kind of thing, but they finally knew where to go to inquire, and the guards nodded hurriedly.

Ye Xiaotian looked at them with a look of ignorance, but he didn't feel at ease. Let these men who only know how to fight and kill deal with those slippery scribes ...... they are afraid that they will sell them to others, and they will stupidly help them count the silver.

Ye Xiaotian thought about it and said with a wry smile: "Forget it, you don't have to worry about this matter." You go to the prison of the Criminal Department, find Uncle Niu from Xuanzi No. 1 Prison, and say that Ye Xiaotian is back, and invite him to come. ”

The guards breathed a sigh of relief, immediately went out, inquired all the way about the location of the prison of the Criminal Department, and rushed to the inn like a kidnapping.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Ye Xiaotian thought that he would wait for the recital related to him to be sent to the imperial court, and the scholars discussed it in a group, and then handed it over to the Son of Heaven for judgment after coming up with preliminary handling opinions, and then his news would be known by some court officials, but they didn't know that although he quietly entered Beijing and was silent, there were already people paying attention to him.

Jin Yiwei commanded Yu to go straight to the home of Qiao Hanwen, the secretary of the military department. In the back garden of Mr. Qiao's house, the peach and plum are blooming, gorgeous and colorful, and the five old men in wide robes are sitting in the peach blossom array, drinking tea and sitting idly, talking and laughing.

Among the five elders here, three are from Jiangxi, and the other two are from Shandong. Jiangxi has always been very good in terms of culture and education, so there are many scholars in the imperial examination, so it is natural that most of the officials are from Jiangxi.

A few years ago, when the officials were gathering, an official from Jiangxi suddenly found that most of the officials at the table were from Jiangxi, and he was very happy.

However, as the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, Shandong, there are also a lot of talents, although the number can not be compared with Jiangxi, but there are many people among them who have done a great job, at that time there was a Shandong official with a sentence "The small county is not big and the four Shangshu!" ”

This official is from Wenshang County, Shandong, and Wenshang County has produced four Shangshu in succession, which is a high-ranking official of the extremely popular minister. These four Shangshu do not count all the officials who have been produced in the past and present dynasties for hundreds or thousands of years, but they happened in these twenty or thirty years.

In just twenty or thirty years, Wenshang County, Shandong Province has produced four Shangshu in succession, two of which were classmates in a private school when they were young. This is a one-on-one answer. It was a good story for a while.

The few people present now, coincidentally, are officials from these two provinces. A few elders were chatting, Yu Wuguo walked in, it seemed that he was very familiar with these bosses, and he didn't formally salute as he usually did, but just sat down next to Qiao Hanwen, the secretary of the military department, who was leaning on the stone table and enjoying the flowers.

The little maid stepped forward to pour him a cup of tea, and Qiao Hanwen looked down at the tea leaves rising and falling in the water. He said in a deep voice: "Ye Xiaotian has arrived in Beijing, and the lower official received the news that he was in Ziyang County. There was a family of Tusi who planted gunpowder and tried to kill him, but this person was alert and escaped. ”

Several adults who were chatting turned their eyes to him, and an old man with a gray beard stroked his beard and said indifferently: "Long Tan just brought a letter." I have mentioned this person to you and me. What do you think about the usefulness of this person? ”

This old man's name is Yan Yifei, and his career experience is very peculiar, because he was transferred from martial arts to literature. He was originally a hereditary thousand households in Dengzhou, Shandong, and later when the Japanese were rampant, he was appointed as the prefect of Dengzhou, and he was transferred from military to civil.

After that, he was promoted to the deputy envoy of the Shandong Provincial Judicial Division, and then to the deputy imperial history of the capital. The right squire of the household department and the left squire of the military department in Nanjing have been relocated, but his current position is the imperial history of the right capital of the Metropolitan Inspection Academy. Governor Cao Yun, and Fu Huainan, can be said to be in power.

The "Longtan" he said in his mouth was Ye Mengxiong, the new governor of Guizhou. Ye Mengxiong is a male omen, and the number is Longtan. These old friends only called him by his name, not by his name.

Lin Siyan, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, looked left and right, and saw that the other adults were pondering and did not speak, so he said: "When Lin was in Nanjing, he had dealt with this Ye Xiaotian, and later went to Huxian County to spread the decree, and he had a past. ”

Teng Yao, the right political party of the General Political Department, asked with a smile: "How is this person?" ”

Lin Siyan said: "Restless! It's a master who can toss! ”

Yan Yifei said: "It seems that Longtan attaches great importance to this person, otherwise he would not have specifically written to mention it." Do you think this person can be a confidant? ”

Qiao Hanwen shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate! Even though this person has his heart set on the imperial court, after all, he is already a hereditary local official, and his fundamental interests are completely different from what you and I are pursuing. Compared with those local officials in Guizhou, this person can be supported or approached, but he cannot be a confidant! ”

Lin Siyan said: "That's what I mean, when I was in Jinling, I tried to recruit him, this person was just an unambitious ambassador of the guild at that time, but he also had the strength to be a chicken head rather than a cow queen, and now he is a local official, so it is even more impossible for him to follow you and me and sharpen his own knife handle......"

Qiao Hanwen said to Yan Yifei with some displeasure: "Brother Yan, for the southwest, we have been planning for many years, and now that Longtan has arrived in Guizhou, Linhuan should also speed up the pace!" ”

Longtan is the nickname of Ye Mengxiong, the governor of Guizhou, and Linhuan is the name of Li Hualong, the governor of Sichuan. Yan Yifei nodded and said with a smile: "There is a dream bear in Guizhou, and it is in the rear, and the Sichuan dragon should be able to subdue that Ying Long!" ”

Thinking that the two shiny guillotines of Guizhou Ye Mengxiong and Sichuan Li Hualong had been set up, the eyes of several senior officials showed excitement. Yu Wuguo smiled slightly and said, "Then, ...... to Ye Xiaotian."

Teng Hui of the Youtong Political Party said: "This person is the person Longtan wants to use, Longtan is in Guizhou, and he knows the local people far better than you and me, so we don't want to do anything else." This Ye Xiaotian, as long as we ensure that he returns to Guizhou safe and sound, we should leave other things alone, so as not to be self-defeating. ”

Qiao Hanwen nodded, and said to Yu Wu: "The emperor shouldn't have the intention of punishing him severely, right?" ”

Yu Wuguo smiled and said: "Of course not, I heard that the local officials of Shiqian and Tongren killed each other, stirring up the whole Guizhou unpeaceful, and the emperor laughed three times, and shouted 'happy'!" In my opinion, the emperor will never let this Ye Xiaotian slip away. ”

Qiao Hanwen smiled slightly and said, "In this way, maybe we don't have to do anything, this Ye Xiaotian can also come and return safely." ”
