Duan Fei returned to Qinchaxingyuan, only then did he wipe his face and drink a bowl of tea, and then he heard Shi Bin's report that the prince was coming, he invited the prince to the study, Wang Tang stepped into the study, and when he saw Duan Fei, he took a step forward and hugged his fists and saluted: "Lord Duan, humbly bear the trust of the officials in Suzhou, please be merciful to Lord Duan's subordinates!" ”

Duan Fei smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, you're talking about those people who stop the sedan chair and shout grievances, right?" I have taken a cursory look at the paper, and there are not many people who sue the officials in Suzhou, but there are many people who sue the father-in-law for personal gain, smuggling and selling smuggling, and the noble nephew Wang Shiyong who bullied the people and committed murder and domineering. ”

Wang Tang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back, he just heard Wu Youce come to report, saying that the people who complained were all local people, and the people who sued were all officials of Suzhou Prefecture, and a small number of them involved Wang Shiyong, so he confidently brought the silver ticket and prepared to buy Duan Fei, but he didn't expect Duan Fei's first sentence to beat him up.

Duan Fei comforted: "The prince doesn't have to be nervous, the prince guards one side and does things for the court, it is inevitable to offend people, how can this official suspect his father-in-law because of a few Diao Min's papers?" Merely...... It seems that Yang Qincha cares a lot about these Diao people, he has the right to supervise his own official's law enforcement and handling cases, and it is difficult for me to cover it up for my father-in-law. ”

Wang Tang's brain became flexible, he looked at Duan Fei, and said tentatively: "Lord Duan means ......"

Duan Fei smiled slightly, and said: "Take people's money to eliminate disasters for others, this official is the best at pointing deer as horses, reversing black and white, Zhou An's case is clearly that someone quickly stabbed Zhou Deng twice, because Zhou Deng's bloodline had been restrained by methods such as point points in advance, so that there was not much blood, Zhou Deng insisted until Zhou An rushed back, and because of the point points, the blood stains were not sprayed everywhere, Zhou Deng understood that he would definitely die, in order to save his wife and children, he was ruthless to slander Zhou An, and the person hiding in the shadows unlocked his restricted acupoints, Blood suddenly sprayed Zhou An's face, am I right? Wang Gonggong, it's not difficult to solve this case, I just don't want to be an enemy of Wang Gonggong, I don't know if Wang Gonggong can trust me? ”

Wang Tang knew the details of this case, and when he heard Duan Fei say it was not bad at all, he couldn't help but gasp, and after listening to Duan Fei's words, he couldn't help but say in a continuous voice: "I believe, I believe, if Lord Duan wanted to ask me for the crime, I would have taken it a long time ago, I naturally trust Lord Duan, Lord Duan, here are 400,000 taels of silver tickets, which are offered to Lord Duan by the officials of the Humble and Suzhou Mansion, please Lord Duan to protect us more, if Lord Duan is sent in the future, we will also share our worries for Lord Duan!" ”

Duan Fei smiled slightly and said, "Duan Fei and his father-in-law hit it off at first sight, why is my father-in-law so polite?" It's only reasonable for everyone to take care of each other, haha......"

Seeing that Duan Fei had briskly accepted the money, Wang Tang breathed a sigh of relief, and he smiled flatteringly: "What Lord Duan said is that in the future, if Lord Duan has any orders, the officials of the Humble and Suzhou Mansion will go to the soup and fight the fire!" ”

Duan Fei was about to speak, but Shi Bin outside the study shouted: "My lord, Lord Yang, the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission, asks to see you!" ”

Duan Fei said, "Lord Yang? How did he get here? He said that he was resting and would see him tomorrow. ”

Shi Bin smiled bitterly: "No, my lord, Lord Yang came in angrily, no one dared to stop him, oh, Lord Yang, why are you so fast...... My lord, Lord Yang has already come to the entrance of the garden. ”

Wang Tang's first thought was that his whereabouts were exposed, Yang Shen came to catch the bribe, his head was dizzy, and he panicked, Duan Fei was relatively calm, he pointed to the screen on the side of the study, Wang Tang suddenly understood, and hurriedly hid behind the screen.

As soon as he hid, he heard Yang Shen's voice outside the study and said very unceremoniously: "Lord Duan, I know you are inside, I have something to ask you!" ”

Duan Fei put away the silver ticket, coughed, and said, "Lord Yang, please come in, Duan just sat down and wanted to take a break, but I didn't expect Lord Yang to come so quickly......"

Yang Shen pushed the door in and said angrily, "Didn't you rest enough in Changshu?" How long are you going to rest before you are ready to ask about the cases you took on today? This officer has the duty of supervision, and if you don't start the trial, I will try it for you!" ”

Wang Tang heard that hatred behind the screen, and Duan Feile said hehehe: "Lord Yang, don't worry, this official has been on the road all morning, rests and drinks saliva, and can only be promoted to the hall after eating lunch and reading the case file." ”

Yang Shen sneered: "Isn't Lord Duan still going to go to the Happy Mansion to have a feast of mountains and seas, and then let the woman of the Happy Mansion massage the adult?" Master Duan has been to the Happy Building a few times, do you know who opened the Happy Building? ”

Duan Fei said in a deep voice: "Lord Yang, please pay attention to your words, although you have the responsibility of supervising the official's handling of the case, but you have no right to dictate the official's private life, Lord Yang, please go back, after lunch, I will go to the Suzhou Mansion Yashengtang to handle the case, if Lord Yang is not at ease, you might as well go to the audit at that time." ”

"Good, good, good! …… Yang is waiting for Master Duan in Suzhou Mansion! Leave! Yang Shen left angrily.

Wang Tang waited for a while and didn't see Duan Fei call him out, he stretched out his head from behind the screen and took a look, then he walked out and said angrily: "Lord Duan, this Yang Shen is really too arrogant!" In the future, he will be impeached together with the officials of Suzhou Prefecture! ”

Duan Fei frowned and said: "This person is usually not like this, he may have some evidence in his hand, not to be underestimated, Wang Gonggong, I won't tell you, I think this case is a little tricky." ”

Wang Tang secretly shouted that it was not good, could it be that this kid was going to regret it after receiving the money? He hurriedly said, "Lord Duan, you have to be the master for us!" ”

Duan Fei nodded and said, "Prince, please rest assured, this official will never give up his allies easily, Yang Shen's status as a messenger is just a product of balance in the battle between the court, do you think the emperor listens to him or me?" Hey hey ......"

Duan Fei took out the silver ticket and counted it again, and Wang Tang immediately laughed happily when he saw his greedy look.

Duan Fei laughed a few times and then said, "Princess, this official can take on this for you, but it's ......"

"I understand, Lord Duan, rest assured, this filial piety will not be less." Wang Tang patted his chest and reassured.

Duan Fei was stunned for a moment, and said: "Princess-in-law, what I said is not this, I mean, this Yang Shen is likely to have some unavoidable evidence in his hands, for the sake of insurance, the princess must provide me with a scapegoat, and when it really doesn't work, all the charges will be put on him, this person's identity can't be too low, otherwise it can't be trusted at all, can the prince have a better candidate in his heart?" ”

Wang Tang thought about it, this proposal was more practical, Duan Fei had this proposal, that is to say, he was indeed thinking about helping himself, who among the officials of Suzhou Mansion was more suitable?

Duan Fei said: "The prince is not in a hurry to think about it, it is better to study these papers with me first, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, I will join forces, are you still afraid of Yang Sheng'an?" ”

Sheng'an is Yang Shen's word, from Duan Fei's tone, Wang Tang suddenly grabbed a little inspiration, combined with what Yang Shen said to Duan Fei just now, he suddenly realized that the people who were threatened by Yang Shen were not only his Wang Tang and the officials in Suzhou.

After Duan Fei sent Wang Tang away, he came to a side courtyard, Yang Shen was waiting for him inside, and when he saw Duan Fei coming in, Yang Shen split his head and said, "Lord Duan, did Wang Tang believe it?" ”

Duan Fei said with a smile: "Even I can't believe that I can get Lord Yang's understanding, let alone Wang Tang?" He now trusts me completely, goes back to gather evidence, and is ready to put all the blame on someone else. ”

Yang Shen sighed lightly, then perked up and said, "What are the arrangements for Lord Duan next?" ”

Duan Fei looked at Yang Shen with sparkling eyes, and said, "Lord Yang should know that there are many officials involved in the case, if you are ready to catch them all...... How sure is Lord Yang in his heart? How many candidates does Lord Yang have in his hands? ”

Yang Shen smiled bitterly and said: "It turns out that Lord Duan has also taken these problems into account, my idea is to grasp the big and let go of the small, Wang Tang, Chen Biao, and Han Ming must be grasped, and the others can be put aside for a while." ”

Duan Fei shook his head and said: "I think I can let Chen Biao and his horse go for the time being, Zhejiang can't be left without one to preside over the overall situation, and although Chen Biao is in collusion with Wang Tang, he hasn't committed many great evils, at most he is a little greedy, keeping him can stabilize the overall situation in Zhejiang, but the Suzhou prefect can't let it go, it is his connivance that Wang Tang and Wang Shiyong's uncle and nephew can ......."

Yang Shen interrupted him and said: "Lord Duan, don't think about who to arrest and who to release, Wang Tang and the others are deeply rooted in Suzhou, I am afraid that even Suzhou Wei has been bought by him, just with the two thousand people in our hands, I am afraid that it will not be enough to fill people's stomachs, don't fight the tiger but be injured by the tiger." ”

Duan Fei smiled slightly, took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Yang Shen, and said, "This is what Lord Wang Shouren ordered someone to send to me quickly, Lord Yang will understand when he reads it." ”

After Yang Shen took the letter, he took a closer look, his expression suddenly became much more relaxed, he happily returned the letter to Duan Fei, and said: "I see, Lord Wang has no last resort, and he really cares about Lord Duan!" ”

There was nothing to explain about this kind of thing, Duan Fei diverted the topic and said, "Lord Yang, after the afternoon is promoted, Lord Yang still needs to cooperate in delaying the time." ”

"No problem." Yang Shen said: "However, I think Chen Biao still can't let go, as a political envoy of Zhejiang, he has an unshirkable responsibility......

Duan Fei and Yang Shen discussed carefully who should be kept and who should be arrested......

In the middle of the afternoon, the two Qincha took eight sedan chairs to the Suzhou Mansion and went to the Suzhou Mansion in front of the door, and suddenly encountered a stop outside the Suzhou Mansion Palace, Duan Fei was about to lift the curtain to take a look, only to hear the deafening countless people in front of him shouting in unison: "Lord Qincha, please make the decision for us!" ”

Duan Fei was startled, and hurriedly lifted the curtain to take a look, only to see that the front of the yamen was full of people, each of them holding paper, and thousands of people kneeling on the ground, surrounding the yamen, the scene was really shocking.

Duan Fei walked out of the sedan chair, and when the people saw that there were people in official uniforms coming out of the sedan chair, they shouted even louder: "Lord Qincha! The eunuch Wang Tang privately doubled his taxes, and the Suzhou officials bent the law for bribes, twisted the law for personal gain, and connived at the villains to harm the people, you have to be our master! ”

Duan Fei opened his eyes and looked around, the scene in front of him couldn't help but move him, Hua Ming approached and asked in a low voice, "My lord, this is also a prior arrangement?" What do I do now? ”

Duan Fei said: "No, this is the people's spontaneous, the people of Suzhou have been oppressed for too long, we lit a fire earlier, and now, the fire has begun to burn!" ”
