Chapter 224: Ming Dynasty Anti-Corruption Office
Xu Xiaobai said: "Lord Liu? Could it be Liu Ji. ”
"It's Lord Liu Bowen."
Liu Bowen and Song Lian are together, and Xu Xiaobai has the opportunity to sit at a table with them, which is a historical moment. Xu Xiaobai hurriedly went in. Sure enough, Song Lian and Liu Bowen were in the back room. After Leng Yan made a confession, Song Lian let Xu Xiaobai into the house.
Liu Bowen saw Xu Xiaobai and said, "Xiaobai, we can meet again." Haha, I really didn't expect that it was you who saved Lord Song. ”
"Lord Liu, we are indeed destined."
Song Lian smiled and said, "Haha, let's sit down and talk." Leng Yan, you also stay. ”
There were five people in the house, and when Xu Xiaobai looked at this jiashi, he really had something to say. Song Lian first thanked Xu Xiaobai for saving his life yesterday, and said that Shao Ying had been handed over to the Criminal Department for review. After a few words of greeting, Song Lian also went straight to the point and said: "Xiaobai, calling you here today is actually what Lord Liu meant. I mentioned you to him, and he had a very good impression of you. So, after we put it all together, we decided to let you come and listen to my jihua. ”
Xu Xiaobai asked, "Jihua? I don't know what the two adults are talking about? ”
Song Lian said: "You have heard Shao Ying talk about Tu Minghui yesterday, do you know about Tu Minghui?" ”
Xu Xiaobai shook his head.
Song Lian gestured to Leng Yan, and after Leng Yan took the lead, he said instead of Song Lian: "Since the establishment of this dynasty, Emperor Bixia has declared that he will severely punish officials for corruption. For a time, many corrupt officials were caught. The common people applauded, but this also touched the interests of some officials. They do it for self-preservation. Also in order to form a group, so that I can know some information. So they organized some people to scout information for them, so that they could get out in advance during some search activities. Then, these officials still could not escape the emperor's severe punishment. They can only think of opportunities. At this time, the remnants of Shili such as Chen Youliang, who was defeated by our Ming Dynasty, also wanted to provoke the foundation of our dynasty. So they organized some killers to contact these officials. Relying on the fear of these officials, they should cooperate with these killers to kill the officials of the dynasty, so as to shake the foundation of the dynasty. It is also reported that this organization has continued to expand, and now it is even secretly supported by Shili of the Yuan Dynasty who fled north. wants to issue a killing order to the core personnel of the imperial court. And this organization is gradually forming a system. And with the name of Tu Minghui, the purpose is already very clear. Although their respective purposes are different, they all take it as their responsibility to shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty and kill some officials of the Ming Dynasty. All the time. All ministries have been strictly investigating Tu Minghui. But for reasons you know. Tu Minghui, who was installed in the imperial court like Shao Ying, had too many eyeliners, so that every time we acted, it was in vain. Moreover, the Tu Ming Society is indeed mysterious, and we still can't find out where their nest is. What are the core characters. The emperor also had a headache about this, not only was your own safety threatened, but they were also worried about the strangulation of Tu Minghui. ”
It turns out that this Tu Ming Society is a bit similar to the later Red Flower Society, except that the Red Flower Society did shout the slogan of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, as for this Tu Ming Society, it was just a group of people with ulterior motives gathering together to do bad things.
Xu Xiaobai said: "Tu Minghui did this thing really hateful, but there is really no way to do it?" ”
Liu Bowen said: "Xiaobai, you are a smart person, and you naturally know that if there are too many eyeliners in the court, we will do anything." As for the solution, of course, there is, but we have not implemented it yet. ”
Song Lian added: "Yes, this method was also discussed by me and Lord Liu at the beginning, but it has not been implemented in a hurry. I really didn't expect that Shao Ying had already jumped out yesterday, and the spearhead had been pointed directly at me. Therefore, I had to report to the emperor as soon as possible, that if the matter of Tu Minghui is not resolved, the officials of the DPRK and China will not be able to stabilize for a day. My Jihua and Lord Liu's had to be implemented in advance. ”
"What the hell are the two adults' Jihua?"
Liu Bowen said: "Now even Shao Ying, a confidant of Lord Song, is a member of Tu Minghui, so it is difficult for us to judge who is right and wrong among those people in the court. Even if there is action in the future, it will inevitably leak the rumors. Therefore, Lord Song and I suggested to the emperor at the beginning that we should skip the ministries and not select people in the court, and directly have me and Lord Song select talents to form a special action department. The department is only accountable to Bixia, and no one else knows the timing and plans of the organization's actions. In this way, the interference of Tu Minghui's eyeliner is avoided to the greatest extent. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Xiaobai immediately thought of the Independent Commission Against Corruption in Hong Kong. Song Lian and Liu Bowen's proposal is indeed the Ming Dynasty version of the Independent Commission Against Corruption. I have to say that these two big names are really not ordinary people. said that they also crossed over, and I guess some people believe it.
Xu Xiaobai pretended to be embarrassed and said, "Such things should be kept secret, but why do the two adults mention it to people like me." ”
After Song Lian and Liu Bowen looked at each other and smiled, Song Lian said: "Actually, this department has been wanted to be established by Lord Liu and I for a long time. However, the candidate for the department has not been decided. To say that this department should naturally choose military generals to serve. It's a pity that Lord Xu Da is now doing a territory-wide military exercise, and no military general can be transferred at will. is saying that the generals are directly transferred, and we are also afraid that there are also spies from the Tu Ming Society. Therefore, at the beginning, Master Liu and I said that it is best for these people not to go through the imperial court, and we will quietly recruit suitable candidates in the society. ”
"Oh?" Xu Xiaobai almost understood what these two meant, "The two adults came to me today, is it because they see that I am suitable?" Haha, but aren't you afraid that I'm also a member of the Tu Ming Society? ”
"I'll tell you the truth. Actually, I didn't think you were suitable. But when Mr. Liu mentioned you to me, he trusted you very much and highly recommended you. I said that you were the best person to do this, and that's why I made up my mind. ”
Master, are you a master or not? Xu Xiaobai looked at Liu Bowen and almost laughed. This Liu Bowen looks exactly like a witch Taoist person, and he is also very good to Xu Xiaobai: "Lord Liu, why are you so optimistic about me." ”
Liu Bowen stroked his beard and said, "Because of feelings." I, Liu Bowen, do things, in fact, I am also very emotional, sometimes I feel that it feels right, and I will not hesitate. I have been thinking about the candidate for the eradication of the Tu Ming Society, but I have not decided for a long time. But when I saw you, and when Lord Song told me that you saved him, my feelings told me that you must be able to. First, you are strong in martial arts, and even a master like Leng Yan can say bluntly that she is not your opponent at all. Second, you are thoughtful, at the beginning of Tongyu Villa, you divided the eleven people into two groups and entered the manor, you can see that your wisdom is extraordinary. can be civil and martial, you are naturally the best choice. As for what you said, are you a member of the Tu Ming Society? Hehe, I'm sure, you're not. Because yesterday was the opportunity to assassinate Lord Song, if you were a member of the Tu Ming Society, it would be impossible to help Leng Yan and sell Shao Ying. This simply does not make sense. ”
It seems that these two adults have already discussed it in the house, and they are waiting for Xu Xiaobai to take office. I really didn't expect that I met Liu Bowen in Tongyu Villa, and saved Song Lian as soon as he arrived in Yingtianfu, and the result of these two things is that Xu Xiaobai became the director of the Ming Dynasty's Anti-Corruption Office just one day after arriving in Yingtianfu!
If you want to say do it, Xu Xiaobai definitely wants to do it, because he is here to play anyway, how can anything not be enjoyable. But according to what is often written in the book, it seems that there is a process of shirking everything. So Xu Xiaobai also learned to say: "I don't think I can afford such a heavy responsibility." ”
"Xiaobai, don't be modest. Mr. Liu rarely recommends talents, and he can trust you very much and prove that you are free and unique. is saying that now Tu Ming will act arrogantly, and if he doesn't eradicate it, there will be endless troubles. Xiaobai, if you take this important responsibility, you will make a great contribution to the imperial court, and you are the pillar of the country. ”
Ridgepole! This Liu Bowen really followed his feelings. I haven't known myself for a few days, and I dare to give myself such a heavy responsibility. said that he was not a witchcraft Taoist, who would believe it, but looking at Liu Bowen's posture, he was indeed not lying. Hey, headaches. What the hell is the situation, or take one step at a time.
Seeing this, Xu Xiaobai no longer held back: "Since the two adults trust me so much, I, Xu Xiaobai, should take the order, but I don't know how many people are recruited now." ”
Song Lian and Liu Bowen both shook their heads.
"No, no one has been looking for it?"
Leng Yan said: "The two adults have always felt that if they want to recruit people, they must first determine who the leader is, so that they can choose people according to the leader's wishes. If they gather the people now, the leader will not be satisfied with the situation and will have to change people, which will allow more people to intervene, which will be very detrimental to the operation. ”
"It makes sense. But it doesn't matter, it's not a big deal if you don't recruit people. Because I happen to have a bunch of brothers under me, if the two adults trust me, I can let my brothers enter the department first. ”
Song Lian said: "If you decide to take over, the manpower will naturally be decided by you." We leave that to you. As for the brothers you mentioned, hehe, Xiaobai, I don't blame you for being angry. In fact, before you came, I had already sent someone to check the details of your people. ”
"Whatever!" Xu Xiaobai is not beware of Wang Daxing and them, but of Lu Dali.
Song Lian said: "Wang Daxing, Wang Erxing and Wang Xiaoxing were originally from Tongyu Villa, so naturally there is no need to investigate this point carefully, and Lord Liu can also testify." And the eight of them, hehe, Xiaobai, you came to the barracks to hold them hostage. ”
"Hey, it seems that the two adults already know."
"If a soldier disappears for no reason, the military will inevitably report it, and the deserter will be apprehended, and a portrait will be sent to Yingtianfu. It is not difficult to find out who those eight people are. (To be continued......)
