Zheng Jinhong and others went to prepare, including Xu Wanghua were involved in the preparations, judging from the situation reported by Yang He, the situation of Caoyun is extremely complicated, and because of the formation of a huge interest group, if you want to completely eradicate this cancer attached to Caoyun, you need to make a big move, I am afraid that the soldiers of the Zheng family army need to be prepared, and Zheng Xunrui personally went deep into it to investigate the secret visit, in fact, it is the preparation before the start, knowing that he knows that the other side will not be defeated in a hundred battles, Zheng Xunrui has always been this kind of understanding, so heavy decisions and actions, can't understand as much as possible, let the people behind the scenes get away, there may really be a big problem at that time, so many people in the court are waiting to see jokes, waiting for impeachment, there must be no problem at this time.

Zheng Xunrui is also preparing, all the situations reported by Yang Heyu, Xu Wanghua has sorted them out, he looked very carefully, and found some problems that have not been fully figured out, these will be the focus of his secret investigation, and the time is very urgent, seeing that the large-scale Cao Yun is about to begin, if he can't solve the problem before the Cao Yun starts, I'm afraid it will really make the Cao Yun stagnate, and then he will really be impeached by the people of the DPRK.

Zheng Xunrui really cares about the people behind the interest group, only by grabbing the people behind it, can we really solve the problem, in fact, from the matter of Caoyun, Zheng Xunrui has seen the opportunity to pry the foundation of the Donglin Party, it is certain that the biggest interest group behind the Caoyun is the scholars and businessmen of Nanzhili, once these people are pulled out, Zheng Xunrui can take this opportunity to make a big move, at least in the four prefectures and three states of Huaibei, to completely clean up the power of the Donglin Party, and let the Donglin Party people have nothing to say.

It is precisely for this reason that Zheng Xunrui decided to take the risk and personally investigate the internal entanglements of Caoyun. Such an important opportunity, such an important matter, he must personally participate in it, and he must not let go or waste such a good opportunity.

September 21.

Zheng Xunrui is planning an unannounced investigation that will start the next day at Donglin Library, focusing on the Shanyin Gang in Huai'an Mansion City, as well as the sailors at the dock. Only from the mouth of the person who is most familiar with Caoyun, can we really grasp the shady curtain of Caoyun, Yang He and Wang Xiaoer and others' investigation, the scope is too wide, the river alone is more than 3,000 miles long, it is impossible to notice too many details, Zheng Xunrui's secret investigation this time, there is no need to grasp the disadvantages of the big aspects, it is enough to pay attention to the details.

Zheng Xunrui's planning was very careful. So much so that when someone came into the bookstore, he couldn't even notice it.

When Zheng Xunrui was working, no one could enter the study casually, it was said that Xu Wanghua and others could enter and leave freely, but everyone was very conscious and would never enter casually, and they would only enter the house where Zheng Xunrui was working after letting the soldiers who were waiting outside go in to report.

A familiar scent came. Zheng Xunrui quickly looked up.

"Ma'am, how did you get here?"

Someone else casually enters the study. Zheng Xunrui will definitely reprimand the soldiers who are waiting outside the door, and Hong Xinyu has always been waiting outside, but this time it was Wen Manshan, no wonder Hong Xinyu didn't squeak, everyone knew that the relationship between Zheng Xunrui and Wen Manshan was very good, and no one would touch the mold.

Wen Manshan did not know the rules of the Governor's Yamen. So when I came to the front from the backyard, I asked the soldiers, and when I learned that Zheng Xunrui was in the Donglin Book House, I came straight to the door, and I didn't see anyone at the door. So she pushed the door open and came in.

"Husband, why is there no one waiting outside here, the slave family pushed the door and came in."

Zheng Xunrui could only smile bitterly.

"Madam, when you came from the backyard to the middle courtyard, the soldiers were afraid that they would know, and when they saw you pushing the door, they were stupid, they might not still stop you, and they didn't want to think about what your identity was."

When Wen Manshan heard this, her face turned red, and she quickly smiled.

"Husband, the slave's brother has arrived, the slave family came to remind the husband, the slave family saw that the husband was very busy these days, I am afraid that the husband will not have time, my brother's residence, the slave family has been arranged, and I will not live in the backyard, after the husband rests, go back to the backyard earlier."

Zheng Xunrui patted his head, he really forgot about this matter, Wen Manshan told him three days ago that his brother Wen Kun was going to Huai'an, the purpose was to think about doing things in the Caoyun Governor's Mansion, and he was engaged in matters of punishment, at that time he agreed, and also considered arranging Wen Kun in the torture room of the Governor's Palace, you must know that the torture room of the Governor's Mansion can meddle in any aspect of patrolling, supervising, escorting and warehousing, and if someone is found to be greedy or messy, it can be punished.

The officials who can be arranged in the governor's palace's office, household room, military room, ceremonial room, torture room, and workshop are all very unusual, and they are all the most trusted people of the governor's house, or they are particularly capable people.

Although there are a lot of officials in the governor's palace, because there are too many things under the jurisdiction of the governor of Caoyun, all aspects, so everyone really has to be busy, there is no rest time, and the officials are almost assigned to each piece, so the six-room responsibilities of the government are particularly important.

For example, the torture room, which is responsible for all the litigation matters of Caoyun, no matter which aspect is involved, even including the criminal matters of the four prefectures and three prefectures, the torture room has to be interrogated and operated, and the household house, which is in charge of the silver taels allocated by the imperial court, including the silver taels for the renovation of the canal, is a very large amount, and every expenditure is extraordinary, and the household also has a large amount of income, which is the income obtained from the Caoyun, and also includes part of the income handed over by the four prefectures and three prefectures.

If the officials of the sixth room have the trust of the governor, their power is very great, and in some cases, their power even exceeds that of many officials in charge of Caoyun.

Therefore, after the general governor of Caoyun took office, the first thing he considered was not to replace many officials, but the first thing that came to mind was the officials and wardens of the six rooms, so that the people he trusted the most would go to these positions.

Wen Kun's identity is not ordinary, if he can be trusted and enter the torture room, it is completely fine, but if there is a problem with his conduct, then entering the torture room will become Zheng Xunrui's biggest failure.

Therefore, the examination of Wenkun is the most important task.

Zheng Xunrui's ability to read people is still good, although there is a historical precipitation, but he has experienced too many things, and the combination of knowledge and practice allows him to see people and recognize people very well.

Quickly cleaned up the paperwork on the table, Zheng Xunrui smiled and spoke.

"My brother is here, of course it's a big deal, and I'm definitely going to accompany my wife home."

Hearing Zheng Xunrui say this, Wen Manshan was of course happy, the so-called love house and Wu, her face showed a smile again.

"Husband, the slave family doesn't want to delay your business."

"Hehe, I'm the dignified Governor of Caoyun, if I can't manage my own time, then I can't say it, okay, Madam, don't talk about it, let's go."

Wen Kun was waiting in the wing.

Seeing Zheng Xunrui come in, Wen Kun hurriedly stood up and saluted with his fists.

"Meet Your Lord......"

Zheng Xunrui squinted his eyes, looked at Wen Kun, and did not speak immediately, just from this first sentence, he felt Wen Kun's shrewdness, it is said that this should be a visit between relatives, and there is no need for such etiquette, but Wen Kun immediately visited him as a subordinate, obviously thinking of being able to enter the Yamen of the Governor of Caoyun to do things.

It is certainly not easy to be a warden in the Suzhou Mansion Punishment Room, you must know that generally speaking, if the prefect is not shrewd, he is likely to be fooled by the officials and wardens of the six rooms.

Zheng Xunrui didn't speak, Wen Manshan spoke first.

"Brother, what are you doing, this is at home, not in the yamen."

Wen Manshan spoke, and Zheng Xunrui followed.

"Brother don't be polite, this is at home, there is not so much etiquette."

Wen Kun immediately had a smile on his face, and said that he had been in Suzhou for so many years, and he had already formed a habit, you must know that the Suzhou prefect was only an official rank of the fourth grade, and Zheng Xunrui was the second rank of the household department Shangshu, the right capital imperial history and the governor of Caoyun, which was too much higher than the Suzhou prefect.

Wen Manshan went out to arrange a banquet, and Zheng Xunrui and Wen Kun were left in the wing.

Zheng Xunrui asked the first question.

"I heard that you resigned from the errand of the warden of the Suzhou Mansion Punishment Room, are you not very comfortable doing it in the Mansion?"

Wen Kun's eyes turned habitually, and he quickly answered.

"That's true, after my grandfather died, I felt very difficult in the mansion, as if I had been excluded a lot, and I told my sister a few days ago that I hope to be able to do things in the Caoyun Governor's Palace."

Zheng Xunrui nodded, it seemed that Wen Kun knew the truth and knew that he couldn't lie at such a time.

"Then what do you think is the principle that the prison officials and wardens need to grasp the most?"

This time, Wen Kun did not hesitate at all and immediately spoke.

"Whatever the Shangguan wants, the priests and wardens must do."

"If Shangguan is a corrupt official, what should he do?"

Wen Kun's face turned a little red, but he still gritted his teeth and spoke.

"No matter what kind of person Shangguan is, the officials and wardens must handle it according to Shangguan's will anyway."

A smile appeared on Zheng Xunrui's face.

"What else is there besides these principles."

"Adapt to the situation, you must know to be flexible, you can't admit death, and then you can deter the lawyer, and you must not collude with the lawyer, otherwise it will be bad."

Zheng Xunrui nodded, he didn't plan to continue asking, Wen Kun is not very old, born in the forty-second year of Wanli, one year older than Zheng Xunrui, and now he is twenty-three years old, such an age should be full of ambitions and ideals, but Wen Kun entered the government prematurely, and he was doing things in the big dye vat of the sixth room, and it is normal to learn a lot of tactfulness, but Wen Kun's nature is not bad, just a few short sentences of dialogue, Zheng Xunrui made an accurate judgment.

An hour later, Wen Kun followed Zheng Xunrui out of the wing, but the expression on his face became stern, obviously thinking about something, maybe thinking about Zheng Xunrui's request just now, and the heavy responsibility he was about to undertake. (To be continued......)
