Chapter 967: Officialdom, Jianghu Affairs

"This ......"

The director, Wu Fan, pondered for a moment, chuckled and said, "How can it be that there is no misjudgment?"

Seeing Feng Zhou's gaze shifted, he smiled lightly: "The Criminal Department receives tens of thousands of official documents every year, but the manpower is only a few hundred, and it is divided into more than a dozen officials to perform their duties!"

Feng Zhou nodded, as far as he is concerned, the Qing Officials Department in charge of the Gyeonggi area, Wu Fan is a six-grade director, and there are nearly ten secretaries to help, and the two chief officials are responsible for the examination and approval of major cases in the entire Gyeonggi Prefecture, if it is not for the particularly energetic people, how can they be busy?

However, all this is a good thing done by Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to sympathize with the people's feelings, he gave the government a very small budget and preparation, forcing officials at all levels to hire peripheral personnel when encountering problems.

After all, the peripheral personnel do not have the official establishment, at most they can only be regarded as officials, and basically have no rising value, so they are passive and slack, cheating, or taking the opportunity to make money.

So that those affairs officers are so busy that they spend their energy on the case every day, where can they have the spirit to do anything else?

"There is no way to misjudge and misjudge, after all, these cases have been approved by Gyeonggi Prefecture!" Wu Fan, the director, chuckled, and said in a relaxed tone and calm: "No matter what, as long as there are no obvious mistakes and omissions, we can't help but sell some face to Gyeonggi Mansion!"

Feng Zhou nodded silently, this is also the norm in officialdom, it is not necessarily said that officials and officials should protect each other, but sometimes they will not easily offend their colleagues for some 'miscellaneous things'. It may be a big deal in the eyes of the parties, but it is not a in the eyes of the officials of the Criminal Department.

Gyeonggi Prefecture, as a local yamen in Kyoto, has a very special status, and the Gyeonggi Prefecture is a confidant of the emperor, and he is also a high-ranking official of the Zhengsanpin, that is, an official at the level of a waiter in the Criminal Department, and he will not be easily offended if he is fine, which is the norm in officialdom.

Otherwise, why did there only one Bao Qingtian appear in the officialdom of various dynasties for thousands of years?

That Hai Jui hasn't been born yet.

Although not every official puts his interests first, it is unlikely that an official of the Criminal Department will offend the entire Gyeonggi government for an unrelated person.

"Didn't the Criminal Department find anything when it was reviewed?"

Feng Zhou continued to ask: "For example, to cause quite discordant public opinion in the local area?"

"Hehe, naturally there is a discovery!"

Wu Fan, the director, nodded with a chuckle, and said helplessly: "But the officials and officials we sent to review are soft-spoken, and people may not listen to them, and this is also something that cannot be helped!"

Feng Zhou nodded, this is indeed a trouble, the so-called high-ranking officials do not go down to the court, and they are responsible for reviewing such errands, most of them are such low-level green-robed officials at the table, and they really have no confidence in the face of the purple Gyeonggi Mansion Yin.

"Besides, our criminal department doesn't have specific judgment power, as long as it doesn't go too far, we can only turn a blind eye!"

A secretary at the table smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you know, my lord, our criminal department yamen looks pretty good, but in fact, the power in our hands is not very big!"

Feng Zhou nodded again, he had also noticed this situation these days, but he didn't care too much, if it weren't for the fact that the Criminal Department was this kind of transactional yamen with very heavy rights, he wouldn't want to go in and ask for trouble.

"As for the trouble below, isn't there still the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so we don't need a headache at all!"

Speaking of this, the chief Wu Fan gloated with a gloating face, and said angrily: "Some guys are too unscrupulous, they should be rectified by the imperial historians of the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Imperial Inspectorate, otherwise they really think they are the Emperor of the Earth." You can do whatever you want!"

"Master Wu is cautious!"

Feng Zhou frowned slightly, and reminded lightly.

"Ah, it's me who lost my words, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

The director, Wu Fan, woke up suddenly, his face changed slightly, and he secretly blamed himself for talking too much.

"It's okay, just pay attention later!"

Feng Zhou waved his hand and said comfortingly: "Master Wu is angry in his heart, as long as he smooths this breath, he will be fine!"

His behavior is extremely natural, even if a bigwig who has lived in the high hall for a long time said it ordinarily, and the officials who were more than ten or twenty years older than him present also accepted it calmly, and there was no psychological discomfort.

"Hey, that's easier said than done!"

Speaking of this, the principal Wu Fan was depressed.

"There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart!"

Feng Zhou didn't think so, he naturally had the confidence that he could reverse the embarrassing situation of the Criminal Department, at least in the Gyeonggi Qing Officials Division......

......

"Qiu Nuxia, you invited these two dolls to partner with us?"

At the foot of Helan Mountain, two stout guys swept Xu Ting and Li Chishui with their eyes, with a look of suspicion.

These two people are the thieves who are rampant in Helan Mountain, He Hu and Tie Zhu.

Since receiving Zhou Huai'an's letter and learning that Yang Yuxuan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, was killed, Qiu Moyan was shocked and regretted, so he followed Zhou Huai'an's instructions to contact the masters of the rivers and lakes to prepare to rescue Yang Yuxuan's two sons and daughters who were escorted by the official.

It's just that there are not many people who have the courage to talk about righteousness on the rivers and lakes, and some people are arrogant and dry on weekdays, looking at the righteousness and thin clouds, but once they talk about the affairs of Dongchang, everyone changes color, and the righteousness and arrogance of the past are all gone.

Qiu Moyan found many people on the rivers and lakes and wanted them to participate in his own rescue operation, but after looking for a long time, no one was willing to get involved in this kind of thing.

As a last resort, she had to spend a lot of money to hire underworld masters in the rivers and lakes and ask them to help, which moved some good players in the rivers and lakes, and the gangsters led by Helan Mountain bandits He Hu and Tiezhu led the crowd to join Qiu Moyan's team.

Qiu Moyan wrote a letter to his junior sister, but it was just a matter of convenience, although the junior sister successfully broke into the capital to take revenge, she must be young and lacking in strength.

Unexpectedly, the junior sister Xu Ting not only came, but also brought a teenager younger than her over.

Look at the young man, he is only thirteen or fourteen years old, although his eyes are vicissitudes, and he seems to have experienced a lot, but after all, he is too young, even if he comes out of his mother's womb to practice martial arts, how powerful can he be?

I'm afraid that before the person can be rescued, this kid has fallen into the hands of Dongchang and died.

But the people had already come, and Qiu Moyan couldn't drive them away, so he had to take them to see Tiehu and the others.

Qiu Moyan was born in a family of eunuchs, and later she studied art in the Xiandu School, and met Zhou Huai'an when she traveled in the rivers and lakes, the two fell in love at first sight, and the two sides had a good impression of each other.

However, later the situation changed, Yang Yuxuan, the secretary of the military department, was arrested, and as Yang Yuxuan's subordinate, Zhou Huai'an was also implicated, but Zhou Huai'an was strong in martial arts, fought his way out of the encirclement, and escaped. In order to repay Yang Yuxuan's kindness, this person tried every possible way to save Yang Yuxuan's two children, so he secretly contacted Qiu Moyan and organized people to rescue the two children.

As Yang Yuxuan's subordinate, Zhou Huai'an has a very high prestige in the army, if he ascends to the top and shouts, it will definitely cause a big chaos in the army, otherwise Cao Shaoqin will not value him so much.

Therefore, in order to protect himself, in order not to arouse the vigilance of the people of Dongchang, Zhou Huaian himself deliberately swaggered elsewhere to attract the attention of Dongchang fans.

And Qiu Moyan took the recruited people to check the terrain.

Seeing Xu Ting and Li Chishui, two guys who were less than twenty years old, Tie Hu couldn't help but sneer and said disdainfully.
