Everything is difficult at the beginning, Xu Qian has become that Qifu or something, anyway, he himself sometimes can't remember the official name, but he has to cheer up.

The problem is how to find out that there was corruption and perversion of the law in the process of inspection, and the palace gave him this important task, Xu Qian could vaguely guess that Emperor Jiajing was very unhappy.

Today's emperor is the master who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, and what such a person hates most is that others take advantage of him. You can say that he is narrow-minded, or that he is mean and unkind, but there is one thing, Xu Qian knows-the emperor wants to make a big move.

The situation in the capital division is almost one-sided, almost all the civil and military officials are on the side of the cabinet, as soon as there is a wind and grass, countless books will clearly state their position, and even some of them dare to write to the emperor in the matter, from the palace newspaper, Xu Qian roughly guessed the current situation in the Beijing division, and it is almost certain that the son of heaven who has just inherited the unification has been overwhelmed.

The situation in Hangzhou has now attracted much attention, and the emperor hopes to find a breakthrough here and clean up some people, but he is unfortunate that he has been a gunman for this emperor.

"This is an opportunity and a challenge, as long as you do it well, you will definitely soar into the sky in the future, how can you be obscure? If you can't make a sound, this life will be in vain. Naturally, this is not Xu Qian's own comfort, he has a strong heart, although he knows that the future is dangerous, but he can quickly get up without heart and lungs. When he said this, it was Deng Jian who puffed up.

Deng Jian had a bitter gourd face and said, "What kind of voice is this, do you really think I am an idiot?" This errand is fatal, haven't you heard of cutting off people's money like killing your parents? Brother Xu, you are now going to kill the parents of dozens of civil and military officials in Zhejiang Province. Will people give up? ”

"It's not promising!" Xu Qian scolded him bitterly, although not long ago, the prince also scolded him in every way to fool and heartbreak, and now Xu Qian fooled Deng Jian, just like a pyramid scheme, the upline deceived the downline, and the downline deceived Deng Jian. Xu Qian continued: "You are just short-sighted, do you want to be a dog leg for the prince for the rest of your life?" Brother Deng, there is no future. Follow me to make contributions, and sooner or later in the future! ”

Deng Jian said: "I like to be a dog's leg, what can you do with me?" ”

Xu Qian saw that this guy was not on the road, so he said viciously like a prince: "You elm head, I won't say more to you." Anyway, I'm now the ambassador of the Seven Prefectures to inspect the Japanese affairs, and you are the ambassador of the Seven Prefectures to inspect the Japanese affairs with a knife in front of you, and the matter is so decided, from now on, you don't have to go to the Prince's Mansion, follow me obediently. If I have meat, you have soup! ”

Deng Jian had a bitter face and said, "How can I put up a brother like you." ”

Xu Qian pondered for a moment and said, "I heard. The imperial court also had a will, and when it came to the governor of Zhejiang, it was said that the governor was presiding over the raid, but the governor of Zhejiang has always been a person who does nothing. To put it mildly, the governor had already heard the rumors. I don't want to offend the cabinet, but I am afraid of offending the palace, with his temperament, he will definitely not do it himself, in my opinion, this matter will be handed over to the officials below in the end. ”

Xu Qian said slowly: "The Criminal Division must have a share, they preside over the criminal name, and they are indispensable for the seizure, and there should also be a share of the general soldier's yamen, this is a big case of complicity, and it is necessary to transfer soldiers to the Gongwei, and the political secretary ......" Xu Qian sighed and said: "This political lord responds to every call in the officialdom of Zhejiang, and he is indispensable for presiding over the overall situation, these three yamen must all need to directly participate in the investigation, as for other officials, most of them will also have hush money." ”

Thinking of so many important yamen, Xu Qian felt a headache, fortunately, his identity has not been leaked out, if others know that he has a will, most of them will not have a good time.

Xu Qian had been planning for a day, and he didn't have a clue, and suddenly remembered what Wang Gen had said to him, so he couldn't help but wear a robe and run to the newspaper hall in the rain. Does Xu Gongzi have anything to explain? ”

Xu Qian deliberately pretended to be careless, for fear that Wang Gen would see through his thoughts, so he said slowly: "I can't talk about it, you are the elder, I am the young, such words will not be mentioned again in the future, Mr. Wang, I want to go to Yuyao tomorrow to see my teacher." ”

He deliberately knocked on the side, sloppy. In fact, he knew in his heart that his mentor couldn't help much, after all, he had already paid tribute. Although the Xie family has enough connections, once the mentor comes forward, things may be more complicated, after all, the mentor is a high-profile figure, and every move cannot escape the eyes of others.

"Oh?" Wang Gen asked for a long time: "Dare to ask why Xu Gongzi wants to go to Yuyao?" Isn't it because you want to visit Mr. Xie and ask for Bagu articles? ”

Xu Qian shook his head and said, "That's not it, my teacher and I have always had correspondence, and we usually use letters to ask for advice. When I went to Yuyao, I encountered an annoyance. ”

Wang Gen sighed, didn't even ask, and said, "Then I wish Xu Gongzi a smooth journey." ”

Xu Qian was angry for a while, and couldn't help asking, "Why don't you ask me what I'm doing in Yuyao?"

Wang Gen's face was calm, and he said, "It's nothing more than a matter of raiding the merchants, presumably the holy decree has arrived, right?" ”

Xu Qian cheered up, and said in his heart that he had known that he had deliberately teased me to play, Xu Qian said solemnly: "Exactly." ”

Wang Gen sighed and said, "This incident certainly shows that the palace has a lot of faith in Xu Gongzi, but it is also difficult and dangerous for Xu Gongzi. If I were Xu Gongzi, I should be worried. ”

Wang Gen looked at Xu Qian with a faint gaze and said, "It's just that Xu Gongzi has a plan?" ”

Xu Qian nodded: "Naturally, there will be plans." ”

Wang Gen smiled and said, "If Gongzi Xu trusts the old man, you might as well tell the old man." ”

Xu Qian said: "Actually, it's very simple, attack one point first, and then make this person's crime public, so as to deter his accomplices." ”

Wang Gen was noncommittal, and said, "Since Gongzi Xu has confidence and comes to visit again, what does Gongzi Xu need?" ”

Xu Qian said calmly: "I need news, I need eyes and ears." ”

Wang Gen smiled slightly: "This is easy, as long as the raid starts, within three days, the old man can find some news, but the question is, what can Xu Gongzi give the old man?" ”

Xu Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm here to talk to you about feelings, why do you want to talk to me about business?" ”

Wang Gen was unmoved, and said: "Feelings are feelings, business is business, the old man is not a corrupt Confucian, and he is not the kind of person who is fooled by you at will." ”

Xu Qian had no choice but to say, "Then what does Mr. Wang need?" ”

Wang Gen smiled calmly and said slowly: "I have a book here, if Xu Gongzi can memorize it backwards, you and I will not owe each other." ”

He took out a book, Xu Qian took it, and wrote the three words "Biography and Practice" on it, looking at the title of the book, Xu Qian suddenly realized that this so-called Biography is actually the same as the Analects, but the former is to record the words and deeds of Confucius before his death, and "Chuan Xilu" is to record Wang Yangming's life words and deeds.

But for now, it can only be like this, Xu Qian put away this "Biography" and said: "Okay, I promise you, you and I will make a decision, if this matter is done, I will go to the palace at that time, and your credit is indispensable." ”

Wang Gen shook his head and said, "That's not necessary, the word credit is just a passing cloud in my eyes." ”

Xu Qian shook his head, and said in his heart that this guy not only loves to wash other people's brains, but even his own brains have been washed stupidly, staying with this kind of person, what if he is indifferent to fame and fortune in the future? If my father had known, he would have whipped me to death.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

After the will of the raid, as Xu Qian expected, there was no movement at all in the yamen of the governor of Zhejiang, and when the other divisions saw this, they naturally couldn't help but go to see the governor, saying that the time was urgent, and they must not continue to delay, and asked the governor to make up his mind as soon as possible.

The governor was clearly suspicious of the seizure, and wanted to be clean and clean, but did not want to offend his colleagues by involving too much, so the governor fell ill.

Since the governor said that he was sick, the political envoy Wang Mingchuan was not polite, and immediately went to Chun'an with various departments to personally supervise the inspection work.

Zhejiang has rarely happened in recent years, such a big family has been confiscated, it can be said that it is rare, it is no wonder that the court and local officials are so concerned, the court is concerned about this matter, is to be able to kill the chicken and set an example, the local heroes have become more and more unpopular, put on this stern posture can make others stop some.

The local officials are different, no matter what, the merchants are all big households, and they are the top ones in Zhejiang, and no one can estimate the wealth accumulated for several generations, plus they do this killing business all year round, as long as they get a little bit of the pie, they are afraid that they will have no worries about food and clothing in this life. The Ming Dynasty's Yu Lu is low, the lord is also a human being, and he also has a son and grandson, and now he is an official in Dengke, but who can guarantee that his son and grandson can also go to high school in the future? Therefore, it is not a bad thing to accumulate more wealth to pass on to future generations.

Of course, there are also some people who have other considerations, and there are indeed too many businesses involved with local officialdom, and they are afraid that they will be able to confiscate some things that should not be confiscated; Only by doing it yourself can you feel at ease. Otherwise, suddenly find out an account book that records the gifts of Qingke, and let others live?
