Qianlong was silent, got up and opened the door and came out to stand under the eaves. I saw that two eunuchs were stopping an eighteen or nineteen-year-old woman by the west side door in the snow and fog, and the woman was crying and screaming, and kept saying that she wanted to see the "biggest official" here: "You say this is a 'small matter', and it is a big thing to put on us!" My father's body bones, how can he stand it on the cool kang of the Yamen of the Si Si this day? What does the feudal and academic platform have to do with us, the seven-grade sesame officials? Just detain people one after another! God...... My mother is still sick......"

"Call her over." Qianlong waved his hand and entered the house. Sorting out the documents on the case, he said: "Ji Yun, send these to Prince Zhuang, and ask Ortai to read them and send them away." Saying that, the woman was already sobbing and came in, as soon as Qianlong turned around and saw it clearly, his whole body trembled, and he immediately recognized that it was Wang Tingzhi who met and was sick in Zhenhe Temple at the Xinyang Youxiandu Hotel! In an instant, the old store of the Yao family, the old road of the Yellow River, the hail, and the rain...... The almost fatal illness came to my heart at the same time-it was the woman in front of me who sat beside her all day long, feeding and serving medicine, and how much tenderness and sweetness in the middle was unforgettable. At this moment, I didn't expect to meet again in this situation! Qianlong sat on the edge of the kang in a daze, looking at Ting Zhi with a lost gaze, and couldn't ask for a while.

Ting Zhicha came in from the snow, the light in the room was very dark, she couldn't see anything clearly, she was vague, and she saw several people around her bending over one by one and standing like mud tires in the temple, silent. She knew that this young man above was not small. She was a young woman, she didn't dare to stare at it, and she didn't recognize Qianlong. In the unbearable silence, Ting Zhi stroked her scattered sideburns, squatted and blessed two blessings, and said in a low voice: "My lord, auspicious!" Then he stepped aside and stood sideways, and said, "I want to see you, because I want to ask the adults to call the shots, and ask the Yamen to let my father go." My mother has an old asthma, her body is not strong, and she can't stand it this day, and she has been bleeding for a few days. My father is a clean official, and he only knows how to report the emperor's grace, and he won't tell you that he took our mother and daughter to the post, not to ask us to be a wife and miss, but to save a few people money, listen to my father...... The eastern courtyard was inhabited by a senior official, who was larger than the governor. I was in a hurry...... Just forced on......" he said, covering his mouth with a handkerchief and just choking.

"Your father's name is Wang Zhenzhong, right?"

"Yes......"

"How does he know I'm older than the governor?"

"Dad said that there are a few people who don't have long beards and have a problem with their throats...... Eunuch. Ting Zhi was a little embarrassed, and said on tiptoe with her little toes, "Dad said that even the Minister of Military Aircraft is not qualified to call eunuchs." ”

Only then did Qianlong know that it was Bu Ren and Bu Yi, the eunuchs, who revealed their secrets, breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Wang Zhenzhong is a smart person. We are a little older than the governor - Bu Zhi, you take this to Sun Jiagan and ask him to put Wang Zhenzhong back alone. He took the bright yellow Wolong bag on the big pillow and gave it to Bu Zhi, and then turned his face to Wang Tingzhi and smiled: "You should rest assured now, right?" ”

"Thank you, sir!" Ting Zhi didn't expect to get things done so easily, so she was so moved that she burst into tears again, and bowed her head and said, "That'...... I'll just go back and wait. She glanced up at Qianlong, and was stunned, but she didn't say anything, and slowly turned around and withdrew.

"Slow." Qianlong smiled and waved his hand, ordered the eunuchs to retreat outside, and then said, "Why don't you ask who I am?" Ting Zhi lowered her head and said, "Dad said that the people in this courtyard have important matters, and we are not allowed to inquire." Qianlong smiled and asked again: "What if it's an acquaintance?" ”

Ting Zhi stared at Qianlong seriously, her face became extremely pale, her lips trembled, and she said, "You-you're not Tian-you're the emperor!" For a moment, she was a little flustered and couldn't stand, and she was at a loss to rub the corners of her clothes.

The room was so quiet for a moment that I could hear the sound of the water on the tea stove next door. Qianlong looked at Ting Zhi in a daze, but Ting Zhi seemed to have infinite concerns, bowing his head and saying nothing. After a long time, he sighed silently. I don't know how long it took, Qianlong suddenly smiled:

"yes. It's not the prince, it's not Tian Shenggong! He smiled and said, "Anting Zhilan is lush and green - you are still so peugeot!" It's just that I've just cried, and it's like a pear flower with rain. He is a veteran of the love scene, and he said a few words with a warm heartbeat, biting his nails and just twisting. Qianlong couldn't bear it, so he took her in his arms and laughed: "Little kiss, let me see your hand, are you burned?" ”

Ting Zhi was ashamed and cheeks, fell into Qianlong's arms, closed her eyes slightly, and let Qianlong caress and kiss, but said in her mouth: "Don't be like this, be seen...... Don't touch here......"

"Where? Don't touch anywhere? Qianlong ** was burned, and whispered, "I want to die...... Do you want to? - You say those husbands, they dare to meddle in my affairs? Say, do you want to ......?"

"Think...... I've seen it in my dreams a few times. ”

"Your father is a good official, and I want to promote him. When the time comes to transfer to Beijing, I will choose you to enter the palace and live in Changchun Garden......"

Ting Zhi suddenly came to her senses, gently pulled away Qianlong's very unruly hand, sat up straight, buckled the button while sighing: "I have that heart, but I don't have that life...... Your Majesty, you're a step late, I'll ...... Already made a promise. Just now...... Even if I repay the emperor's kindness......"

"I already know you've made a promise." Qianlong let go of his hand in disappointment, looked at Tingzhi who was curling Tingting, and was really itching. suddenly pounced on her, hugged her tightly, pressed her down on the kang with all his strength, kissed and shouted nonsense in his mouth, and said in a suppressed voice: "If you want to repay your kindness, you can repay it more authentically...... Isn't your son-in-law the prisoner surnamed Xu in the Guozijian? It is very easy to give an official to stay in Beijing, and it is very ......easy to get back and forth," he said, pulling her clothes.

Na Tingzhi can't shout, there is no way to hide. She also liked Qianlong's handsome and chic, but being teased by him like this moved her feelings, so she was not very protective. Qianlong was light for a while, and only said: "My body is the emperor, you have to protect me!" ”

"That's nature." Qianlong gasped and said: "You just have to marry someone to marry, I have a way to get you here, it's still **!" When he was about to speak, Bu Ren coughed outside and said, "Lord E, please wait a while and come again, the emperor is talking to people." Ting Zhi kissed it lightly again and said, "Your Majesty, someone is here - don't forget my ......"

Only then did the two get up and get dressed, and Qianlong ordered the two eunuchs to escort Ting Zhi back, stretched out with satisfaction, and ordered: "Call Ortai over!" ”

The next day, it was still snowing heavily, and Sun Jiagan decided to close the case. It was not for the Wolong bag that he knew that Qianlong was in the city, so he hurriedly closed the case, but because he was worried that the original and the defendant were increasingly busy looking for witnesses to defend themselves. The provincial officials already have their own doors, and the gangs and factions "each for his own master" have a great chance of muddying the waters and turning the bribery case into a political dispute. After a long time, the official affairs outside the country could not be done, and the legacy was left behind, and the affairs of Shanxi will be even more disturbing in the future. He came to Shanxi late, and the three Si Yamen were full of officials from all over the country who came to "testify", so he lived in the Confucian Temple next door to the Xuezheng Yamen. The message was sent to Yang Sijing, who lived in the Yamen of the Sho Si, and less than half an hour later, he listened to the person and said, "Lord Yang personally came to pay a visit. ”

"I'll pick it up." Sun Jiagan sat at the kang table and struggled to put on a pair of Ula grass boots, stepped out of the snow, hurriedly greeted the door, and saw that Yang Sijing had already gotten off the sedan chair with a group of masters, so he hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Mengxiong, the presiding court is on your side, why did you run to my side?" As he spoke, the two of them shook their hands in the snow. Yang Sijing smiled, and said as he walked inside: "Since the case is going to be closed, the two of us have to discuss it in advance." I'm too crowded to talk about. You know that I am in charge of the Ministry of Officials, and there are some shameless officials who ask for a vacancy, and they have nothing to do with the case and are entangled in nothing, and I am also restless in Shanxi and am in a hurry to close the case! Sun Jiagan smiled and said, "I naturally want to discuss with you first." Isn't it arbitrary? The officials told me that since you are now a messenger, leave them alone, just send them out. I don't think as much as you do. ”

The two of them said while entering the warm pavilion of the west side hall of the Confucian Temple, and sat down as the guest of honor, Yang Sijing smiled and said: "There is only one Sun Xigong in the world, how can everyone compare with you!" I'm in the Ministry of Officials today, and I'm not sure which province I'll be transferred to tomorrow, and I'll go out, how can I meet with people? Besides, some people are really difficult, and they are forced to come to me to find me. He took a bite of tea, drove away the cold on his body, and asked, "What are the ideas of Xigong in these two cases?" ”

"No entanglement, no procrastination, no connection." Sun Jiagan said concisely and clearly, "I listened for a few days, and the two defendants turned over old accounts and wanted to muddy the water. Khaljishan has been an official in Shanxi for nearly 20 years and a governor for nine years, and he does have a lot of annoying problems. Although he did not accept bribes, he did things for others, and there were many things that he received gifts afterwards. Kharchin and Sahaliang were jealous of him, so they took the opportunity to make a big profit. Fundamentally speaking, it is not bad for you to say that it is officialdom infighting, and it is not outrageous to say that it is dog-eat-dog. But Sahalang's crime is full of stolen goods, and Kharchin is also ironclad evidence. The imperial court tried to set an example. Since he couldn't investigate exhaustively, he had to decide the main culprit and settle the lawsuit first. How to deal with the matter of Khaljishan, please dispose of it separately in the future. Dream Bear, do you think I'm right? ”

Yang Sijing listened, nodded with a smile frequently, and said, "Xigong understands it." But now something is mixed up. Flattened into the warehouse, Sahalang had a warrant from Khaljishan in his hand, "According to the permission, the feudal division will quickly collect the money and grain and put it into the warehouse." It's hard to say that they discussed too much beforehand. Because Sahaliang monopolized this foreign wealth, Kharji was good at sharing the fat, so he was so difficult. Kharchin has in his hand the slip in which Khaljishan introduced scholars to the entrance examination in previous years, which proves that Khaljishan was not very clean in the past. It is difficult to say that it is not an uneven distribution of spoils, nor is it a coercion of revenge. Yesterday, Prince Eryi's letter Xigong you also met, and someone has already accused us of protecting Khalji's kindness. With such a decision, if we find out the empirical evidence of Kharji's greed for ink after we leave, you and my mission will be messed up, right? Sun Jiagan frowned and thought about Yang Sijing's words, and said, "What should I do with you?" Yang Sijing said: "Now that the winter is idle, there is nothing practical for officials to return to office." Fighting and tossing for a while, they simply asked them to fight each other's internal cannons, and the ink officials dealt with them as one; Even the clean officials are also revealed; Ming Fa played the fold of the imperial court, and the killing, exile, and imprisonment should be dealt with according to the law, and there will be no sequelae. ”

"I'm afraid it won't work." Sun Jiagan said, "If the case is tried like this, the whole province will be chaotic." I couldn't figure it out for a year, and they turned over all the old cases that were more than ten years old. On second inspection, there were more and more witnesses, and the case became more and more complicated. In this heavy snow, there have been things that have frozen to death and starved to death, and the magistrates have been pulled by us, how can it be done? Spring ploughing and spring sowing, disaster relief and famine relief also depend on these 'witnesses'. You can't turn Shanxi officialdom into a pot of porridge, confused, and don't do anything except lawsuits, right? ”

Speaking of which, the two Qincha have already screwed up. Yang Sijing is an old official of the Ministry of Officials, his mind turned faster than the bearing, he thought about it with a stunned face, and said with a smile: "Xigong, otherwise, let's do this: all the incumbent officials who come to be witnesses will be put back." Leaving the three plaintiffs and defendants, we will be tried. How is it? At this point, Yang Sijing's mind is clear that he is biased in favor of the defendant. Sun Jiagan's face was like frost, and when he moved, he got up and said, "I also have the will of the Holy Secret Decree Zhu Criticism, and I will preside over this trial." By the way, you have a share of the credit for the mission; Wrong, I'm going to take it all in. Please! ”

"That's good!" Yang Sijing's heart was as greasy as eating a fly, so he had to get up, "I am only the grandson of the horse!" ”

The two people stopped talking, stepped out of the Confucian Temple in the heavy snow, and each lifted the sedan chair outside the temple, and did not sound the gong, and the sedan chair drivers creaked and stepped on the thick snow to come to the Yamen.

The Yamen of the Shrine is very different from the deserted Confucian Temple. Dozens of officials of Taiyuan Prefecture took push boards, brooms, shovels, and dustpans to sweep the snow in front of the wall, and all stacked the snow to the west of the flagpole to make room for the ministers to get off the sedan chair. The officials were panting and sweating one by one, and they all stood aside, watching Sun Jiagan and Yang Sijing get out of the sedan chair and enter the door, cheering and scattering.

"Please." Sun Jiagan greeted Yang Sijing, who was slightly behind, entered the gate hole and walked towards the lobby. But I have seen chaos in the road, under the corridor, and under the eaves, all of which are state and county government officials who have been transferred from all over the province to serve as "human witnesses". When they arrived in the provincial capital, they all gathered in the meeting hall of the Yamen of the Zhan Si, where they had no place to eat, and they lived in a cold bunk, and they started a fire in their own pots, and they gnawed hard with cold and dry food, and their official uniforms were crumpled and crumpled, with black eyebrows and stove eyes, like a group of people called Huazi in costumes. Seeing the two Qincha Qi Qi straight into the lobby, envious, jealous, hateful and helpless, scolding everything:

"it! After eating and sleeping enough on the hot kang, it was time for Ge Laozi to ask them to fiddle again. ”

"To be an official, or to be a big official. They still sleep on the hot kang in Sa Fantai! ”

"Don't compare like that. We're going to hear the case in the next place, isn't it the same? A case has been issued, and a person from a village is arrested to testify! ”

"That's the bastards trying to rip off the money - we don't even want to send the money out of the hotel!"

Some people even scolded in a rough voice regardless of the official body: "I fuck his Grandma Khalchin!" Immediately, someone retorted, "I am the eighth generation of ancestors of Khaljishan...... of Japan" In the midst of shouting, someone outside reported: "Fu Hengren, the envoy of Qincha Shanxi, has arrived!" ”

The people immediately stopped talking, and saw a young official in his thirties, wearing black satin deerskin boots, and a yellow coat on the robe of the nine pythons and five paws, which looked very dazzling in the snow. Although Fu Heng is young, he led three hundred strange soldiers to attack the peak at night, which is already known throughout the country. Since the outbreak of the two cases, this young man who has not been out of the door and has not spoken a word suddenly appeared, which immediately attracted all the attention. Fu Heng only brought two personal soldiers, and the spurs clanged on the swept stone road, but it was full of spring breeze. As he was walking, he saw a sixtie-year-old white-bearded fourth-rank official standing under the corridor, his lips were so cold that his lips were blue, Fu Heng suddenly folded in front of him and asked, "Aren't you Peng Shijie from the Money and Grain Department of the Ministry of Households?" ”

"Hui, Huiqincha," Peng Shijie stammered in a panic and said: "Yes, it's a lowly position, and the lowly position turned out to be in the household department." ”

"In the battle of Heicha Mountain, you have a good supply of grain and grass."

"Where...... That's my share of messengers. ”

"You go back." Fu Heng patted him on the shoulder, "I know you." Such an age, such a cold day - go back! ”

"But Lord Yang ......"

"It's okay, it's me!" Fu Heng waved his hand and left. Sun Jiagan and Yang Sijing came out of the second gate, and Fu Heng hurriedly stepped forward to greet him: "Second Gong, don't come unharmed?" ”

Yang Sijing saw Fu Heng selling favors in public, and his belly was full of discomfort. Thinking of yesterday when Sun Jiagan let go of an official surnamed Wang, he couldn't help but glance at Sun Jiagan, and thought to himself: Why are these two people the same way? But he said: "They all have Qin orders in their bodies, they are in the same city, and they have no chance to visit, I can't imagine that Ruixue will send a nobleman!" Hahaha......"

"I'm here to hear the case." Fu Heng glanced at Sun Jiagan, who was silent, and said, "The next person reported that the two adults were going to conclude the case today, and I was really happy and relieved. In the past few days, my people have gone out of the city every day to see, and more than a dozen people have frozen to death on the outskirts of the city. ”

The three of them walked into the lobby while talking, only to see two public cases in the middle of the lobby, obviously the positions of Sun Jiagan and Yang Sijing. A table to the west is the seat of Khalgishan. The two square benches on the east side were naturally reserved for the defendants Kharchin and Sahalang to sit on. Kneeling in front of the square bench were Sahalang and Kharchin. Seeing them come in, the two rolled their eyelids and said nothing, and Khaljishan, who was standing beside the pillar of the hall, only glanced at Fu Heng and did not speak. Yang Sijing ordered: "Put another public case on the top, please sit with Master Fu!" ”

"No need." Fu Heng smiled and said, "With such a small platform, can the three public cases be placed?" I'll sit next to you and watch the second public handle the case! The two listened speechlessly, let each other go, and the three of them sat down after the same public case.

"The minister has been promoted!"

Yang Sijing's Goshha shouted in a high-pitched and muffled voice. Even he didn't understand: one or two chasers were not enough, and today there is another chasm!

The soap servants who were guarding outside shouted "oh-" and shouted Tang Wei in a long voice, and came in with black and red water and fire sticks in their hands to arrange according to the shift. Dozens of pro-soldier Goshha hung their knives and arranged them in the corners of the surrounding halls, clanging the torture instruments on the shelves. The atmosphere in the lobby immediately became tense and solemn.

"The trial of this case is closed today." Sun Jiagan's face was expressionless, "Ben Qin Cha and Yang Qin Cha have agreed that all the witnesses who should be involved will return to their posts first--send them out and tell them to leave for their duties immediately!" ”

"Wow!"

Sahalang suddenly stood up, waved his hand and said, "Slow! He respectfully bowed his hand to Sun Jiagan and said, "I'm afraid that Master Sun Meng Lang is right?" The judgment of the case is complete with important persons, stolen goods, and evidence. After the release of the witness, who can say clearly? "Sit down. Kharchin got up again and said, "Please take back your life." We are not afraid of the cold when we eat lawsuits, what are they afraid of when they are witnesses? "Sit down too.

"You are dying, and you dare to be so arrogant and roar at the court!" Sun Jiagan's eyes were gloomy, and he laughed cruelly, "Come, take a seat for them!" A few officials came to see them sitting still,—— after all, they were all feared chiefs in the past, and no one dared to do anything. Sun Jiagan "snapped" and slapped the startled wood, and the strange eyes broke open and shouted: "Withdraw from the seat!" You are already dismissed officials, just like the common people! ”

The two men reluctantly stood up. Kharchin Jinshi was born and spoke fluently, and said: "Since ancient times, I can't be a doctor, but Lord Yang let us sit!" Sun Jiagan smiled and said, "If I can ask you to sit down, I can naturally remove your seat." You will not stand and be punished. Since you have been dismissed from your post as a citizen, you are not a 'doctor'. "The Great Qing Law" 3,000 articles, 'corrupt ink officials do not take courtesy', you be honest! Yang Sijing, who was sitting next to him, felt that every word was ripping out his heart, and he didn't realize that his face was flushed. He licked his lips but didn't say anything. When the official went out, he heard a commotion outside and a soft cheer, and the witnesses were gone.

"Kharchin," Sun Jiagan asked, "are you guilty?" ”

Kharchin suddenly felt a sense of foreboding, broke out in a cold sweat, and replied in a trembling voice: "Prisoner...... Conviction of sin. ”

"How many places have you bribed? How much bribe do each person ask? Sun Jiagan's voice was hoarse, and he slapped the startled wood hard, "Speak!" ”

"Seventeen ......," said Kharchina, "ranged from four hundred taels to five hundred taels each." Some only charge more than fifty taels of ......"

"Why is the price different?"

Kharchin said: "If the article is poor, you will receive more, and if the article is good, you will receive less." There are also people who recommend 'Juncai', and there are also ...... who don't accept it."

"It's really genuine, and there is no deception." Sun Jiagan sneered, "Your receipts are all on this public case, and you can't deny it!" "Stop and drink," to the side and kneel to listen to the fall! ”

Fu Heng glanced at the public case, and sure enough, he saw a stack of strips next to the printing box, and when he reached out to take one and looked at it, it read:

Today, I borrowed 435 taels of silver from the Khalqin Lord to use it urgently, and Qianlong's three-year system was a good ancient year of filial piety and honesty in Shanxi.

At first thought, Fu Heng was quite puzzled, and later thought of the mystery: Wei Haogu took the middle and raised people, and he could pay with the bill; If it is not successful, this Wei Haogu will be "not Qianlong's three-year filial piety", and the IOU will be invalid. Thinking about it, I almost laughed: the fraud in the field is really full of tricks. Just thinking about it, Sun Jiagan asked again: "How can you tell which paper has an IOU and which paper has no IOU?" - All the volumes are transcribed! ”

"Back to Qincha, there is an agreed code in advance, and those with the words 'Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang' in the first two ratios have IOUs." Kharchin kowtowed again and again, "Pity me, I never cheated in previous years, only this time I didn't get any ......real money," he said, and he was already in tears.

"Get on your knees over there!" Sun Jiagan pointed to the pillar of the hall unmoved, "I'll send it later!" As he spoke, he turned his face and asked Saharong, "What about you?" Are you guilty? ”

Sahaliang was not as pustuated as Khalchin, he kept staring at Yang Sijing with inquiring eyes, and when he saw Yang Sijing's blank face, he was surprised to himself, and he hurriedly said: "The offender is guilty." But there is a lower affection! He paused, "Before collecting money and grain, I went to see Khaljishan, and I once said that there are too many disaster counties in Shanxi, and many officials refuse to take office even if they fill the vacancies." No matter how much money there is in the treasury, we can't use it without permission. Therefore, please give instructions to the constitution, and add a little silver tael on the grounds that 'the road is difficult to travel, and the fire consumption is not enough to compensate', and the balance is put into the warehouse. This is what I have asked. Yang Sijing interjected at this time and asked, "Ka Zhongcheng, is there such a thing?" ”

"Back to Lord Yang," Kharji asked himself coldly, and bowed uneasily, "He asked for instructions, there is such a thing, but I didn't agree." ”

"You're nodding!" Sahalang said loudly.

"I didn't." Kharji is confident and does not move at all, "What I agree to must always be written in the constitution." Do you have my hand? Besides, even if I agree, I can only ask you to coordinate the affairs of the feudal clan and distribute the surplus silver to the various offices of the poor and unexpired officials, so as to make up for the lack of cheap money and the lack of money. How could I tell you to be alone? ”

"You ——!" Sahaliang was so angry that his eyes bulged as if they were about to burst out, and he gasped for a while and said, "Set the trap in the front, and fall in the back!" What did you say when I gave me three thousand taels of silver? You say, this amount of silver can't even afford ten talents! - You're too little! Did you say that? ”

Kharji said kindly: "You are brazen! I used the Kharchin incident to ridicule you, and I became your handle? If I am too little, and ask you to add to me, do you dare? I want money, why do I openly impeach you? You shameless! ”

"You are treacherous and dangerous!"

"You're a smiling tiger!" Kharchin kneeling beside the pillars of the hall. Sahalang gasped and said, "Yes, he's a white-faced wolf!" ”

"Smack!" Sun Jiagan slapped the shocked wood hard, "Stop! This is the Imperial Hall, not your kennel! He pointed to Sahalang and asked, "How much is the excess amount of the balance?" ”

Sahaliang rolled his eyes and said, "More than forty-seven thousand taels." Sun Jiagan asked, "Where is it now?" Sahaliang's legs trembled and said, "Dexin Qianzhuang." He added, "You've checked it!" ”

"Who is the owner of Dexin Qianzhuang?"

"Yes...... My nephew. ”

"Why don't you settle the accounts in the official accounts of the feudal division?"

“……”

Under Sun Jiagan's heart-wrenching questioning, Saharong's defense line collapsed, and he muttered, "I have already said that I am guilty...... But Kharjishan—"

"Shut up!" Sun Jiagan was furious, "I only ask you if you know your guilt?" ”

"Guilty!"

Sun Jiagan ordered Kharqin to also come forward and kneel, and said: "The first emperor is resolute and resolute in rectifying the rule of officials, and you have just been driving for a few years, and you are arrogant and arrogant, greedy for ink and bad laws!" My saint is lenient in government, and he increases the income and increase the income of the officials, and you Khalchin raises 4,000 taels of incorruptible silver every year, and you can buy 4,000 stones of rice. Thou shalt be eight thousand taels, what is not enough? Dare to ignore Wang Zhang's constitution, and knock on the bones and marrow of the poor scholars and ordinary people to fill their desires! He smiled coldly, "Ben Qin sent you to rectify the Fa here on the spot, to thank the people in the frozen and hungry ravines in Shanxi, do you have any complaints?" ”

No one expected that Sun Jiagan would no longer ask for an order, and immediately correct the two court officials. For a time, there were nearly 100 people in and outside the hall, including soap subordinates, officials, masters, personal soldiers, and Goshha, all of whom stood as stiff as a couple, and their faces were like earth!

"Drag it out!" Sun Jiagan roared, "Execute under the banner of Zhen Sixu!" ”

The officials looked at Sun Jiagan's face, and no longer dared to hesitate, and dragged Kharchin and Sahaliang into the snow outside the hall in pairs. Kharchin and Sahalang only came to their senses at this time and shouted in unison: "Yang Mengxiong! Don't you save you when you die? Yang Sijing's face was pale, his hands were trembling, and he didn't know whether he was shocked or angry, but he didn't say anything. Seeing that he had been dragged to the entrance of the lobby, Sahaliang was really anxious, his body twisted, and he broke free from the official and went straight to the front of the public case, without saying a word, he looked at Yang Sijing with a cruel smile, tore open the corner of his robe, took out a piece of paper and handed it to Sun Jiagan, and said viciously: "Lord Xigong, this is the letter that Yang Sijing brought to me when he came to Shanxi, it was written by Hongsheng ghostwriter, for Wang Yi......" Sun Jiagan smiled darkly, stretched out his hand and was about to catch the paper, Yang Sijing snatched it with his hand on the side, glanced at it, crumpled it into a ball and swallowed it! Fu Heng sat next to him, hugged this Qin Cha to the ground, stuck his neck with one hand, and desperately picked the strip from his mouth with the other hand, but after all, it was a step too late, and the strip had been swallowed by him!

There was an immediate uproar in the hall. In the chaos, Khalchin also broke free from the two servants who were in a daze, roared angrily and went straight to Khaljishan, and worked together with Sahaliang to press the caught off guard Khaljishan to the ground, punching, kicking and slapping. For a time, the Qincha and the Qincha, the criminal officer and the plaintiff, some were on the public case table, some were in the public court, rolling around, the public case was arched to the side, and the table and chair that Khaljishan was sitting on were also on all fours......

"Stop!"

Sun Jiagan never expected this kind of thing to happen, so he was so angry that his chest bulged and roared loudly: "Get up!" ”

Kharchin and Sahalang were pulled aside, panting heavily, and Kharjishan was scratched with a few blood marks on his face, one blue and one purple, and a large bag bulging on his forehead. Fu Heng also stood up in disappointment and sat down with a blushing face. Yang Sijing's face was as purple as eggplant skin. Just sat down. Sun Jiagan ordered: "Remove his seat!" Fu Heng didn't wait for anyone to come, kicked his seat away, and threw Yang Sijing in front of the public case with a wave of his arm.

"Stripped him of his official uniform." Sun Jiagan stared at this prisoner, "Take off his crown!" He had no intention of asking any more questions, and he weighed it in his heart, and then pulling out the line of Prince Yi would be equivalent to giving Qianlong a problem, and even more embarrassing the dignity of the Qing Dynasty, so he thought about it and said: "The Holy Lord has already seen that you have selfish intentions to protect the corrupt officials. Therefore, I was secretly instructed to dispose of the camera. You have done this, and it is really not for a human to do it. It seems that you are going to save these two corrupt officials with your net worth? I will fulfill you! Come, put Kharchin and Sahalang in prison, and escort me back to Beijing. Drag this Yang Sijing out and cut it immediately! ”

The officials will never forget this three-hall trial in their lives, and it was such a result. At first, I looked at it in a daze, but I didn't know if I was in a dream or in reality. At this time, he woke up, dragged Yang Sijing and walked out. Yang Sijing shouted as he walked: "You dare! Don't you dare? ”

"Of course I dare!" Sun Jiagan smacked at his back: "Phew! ”

With the three cannons, Yang Sijing's head had already landed. Sun Jiagan was still angry. He waved his hand and said, "Retreat!" "Kharjishan seems to want to say something. looked at Sun Jiagan's face, silently rubbed his hands, and retreated.

Only Sun Jiagan and Fu Heng were left in the huge public court. They all walked to the entrance of the hall, looking at the fluttering snow, and did not speak for a long time.

"The Holy One is in Taiyuan." Sun Jiagan breathed a sigh of relief.

"I've already driven back to Beijing this morning."

"Hmm."

"You killed Yang Sijing, the imperial court-"

"It's okay." Sun Jiagan said, "The court will praise me." But I also know that there are many disasters. ”

Fu Heng was stunned for a long time and said, "Lord Wise, don't worry. ”
