The silence here was broken by a voice outside, and not long after, a janissary came in a hurry, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, there are gentry, businessmen and other congested road administrations outside, and there is an endless stream of comers, and there are hundreds of them, and they want to ...... To ......"

This janissary can't think of a fitting term, saying to send money? No, no, it's too indecent, he doesn't believe it. There is no fool in the world, even if it is to send money to the inner treasury, there is no enthusiasm. If it is really so light, then what is the court doing with so many officials and setting up cards along the way? The people themselves paid the taxes.

However, when he said this, everyone also guessed the general meaning, and Jiajing was full of suspicion, but he also didn't believe it.

What kind of person is Jiajing, a person like him who can dissect the sinister intentions of others with a casual joke, how can he believe that someone really sent money obediently? This thing is really unbelievable, and he is a little confused.

However, Cao Xiang and Wang Shang didn't know what the name was, so they thought in their hearts, could it be that these people had already made a lot of noise and were intimidated and scared by the Road Political Bureau, so they obediently sent the silver money up.

Yes, it must be! Thinking of this possibility, the two suddenly became enlightened, and they thought that their guess was correct, so Wang Shang beat his chest and roared sadly: "Oh my God! Your Majesty, Wei Chen never thought that the road administration situation was so vicious, they went around killing good people, so that everyone was in danger, and everyone was not protected......"

Jiajing listened to Wang Shang's words, and faintly felt that things should be like this, he couldn't help sighing, and then looked at Xu Qian.

Xu Qian naturally knew what everyone was suspicious of, and sneered: "Lord Wang is talking nonsense again, right and wrong have their own public opinions, and you are a speech official." What you say is all based on your own guesses, and you don't investigate or collect evidence, what's the use of the state raising an envoy like you? ”

Cao Xiang shouted: "The surname is Xu, at this time, in front of this king, do you dare to deny it in every way?" ”

Xu Qian didn't even look at them, and saluted Jiajing, saying, "Your Majesty." Weichen has nothing to deny, now that so many people have come, it will be clear when the time comes. ”

Jiajing hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head and said, "You do your errand." I and the two Aiqing went to sit in the ear room. Then he said to Cao Xiang and Wang Shang with a light smile: "Erqing, please get up first, after all, kneeling here is unsightly, Xu Aiqing also said that there is a public opinion on the merits, and I will not shield him, but I always need conclusive evidence." ”

Cao Xiang and Wang Shang glanced at each other, although they were unwilling. But thinking that those people outside were about to come in, and it was not good to kneel in front of these people, so I had to stand up and sit in the ear room with Jiajing to the side.

The ear chamber was swarthy. Because the yamen was originally small, and it was close to the hall, there were no windows, although it was close to noon. But the sunlight didn't shine through at all, and some people wanted to light candles. Jiajing was already sitting on the pear wood chair, with a deep gaze through the light in the open lobby, and said, "You don't need to light the lights, this is good." ”

This is just a wall away from the lobby, and the movement outside is clear, Cao Xiang and Wang Shang are not used to this dark environment, but now that the emperor doesn't want to hold the lamp, they don't dare to say anything, and obediently accompany Jiajing around.

It was Huang Jin, standing in a corner of the ear room, his heart was also a little frightened, although he didn't know why these people came here, but he, like everyone in the ear room, didn't believe that there would be fools in this world who obediently gave silver. If the political situation on this road is really perverse...... The consequences are unimaginable.

Jiajing half-squinted, as if he was napping, no one knew what he was thinking, but his face was still gloomy.

And outside, someone was finally let in, the guards in the lobby had been withdrawn, Xu Chang was in a high position for the first case, like a judge, Xu Qian stood aside, obediently being a 'little ghost', as for the other school captains and others were also in the hall, a clerk sat in the corner and began to record.

The first serious 'business' of the Highway Administration Bureau has finally begun.

In fact, everyone was very excited, Xu Chang was like this, and Xu Qian was the same.

It's been so long, and now it's time to see the real thing.

The first one who came in was a businessman-like man, with a big belly and a fair complexion, or because he was in a hurry, his forehead was covered with a layer of oil, like sweat. As soon as he came in, he immediately bowed down and said, "Villain Zhang Cheng, I have seen all the adults. ”

Xu Chang said: "Zhang Cheng? Why are you here at the Road Administration? This is a pro-army yamen, can you just come here? ”

Zhang Cheng looked a little nervous, wiped a handful of sweat, and said: "The villain made a special trip to come, because I heard that the Road Administration Bureau is responsible for donating to the palace, and the villain's family has some family wealth. ”

Most of this sentence was written before he came, but it was quite a bit of a level.

Xu Chang raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? How much do you have to give? ”

Zhang Cheng said without hesitation: "The villain is willing to donate three hundred silver." ”

Three hundred taels of silver, in this Ming Dynasty is not a small amount, although there are a lot of people in the capital of the capital, but to say that such a large amount of silver out of the silk, it is rare.

Xu Chang smiled slightly, and said: "There is a matter of accepting silk, but you have to be willing to do it, and this official will not force you, but now the imperial envoy impeached the road political bureau to collect people's wealth, saying that we are clever and robbed, so well, this matter is ......."

Zhang Cheng panicked, he ran over with his eyes, in order to come to collect silk, and finally squeezed the position in the front row, hoping to get this done, Zhang Cheng hurriedly said: "The villain is willing, and no one persecuted the villain, I don't know which villain chewed his tongue and made something out of nothing, this kind of person...... Giving birth to a son without an asshole! ”

He was also in a hurry to say such a thing, but when he said it, he regretted it a little.

But when he said this, it proved the urgency in his heart, as if he didn't accept the silk, he would itch all over his body, and if he didn't give money to others to spend, he wouldn't be happy.

When he said that when he gave birth to a son who had no asshole, everyone in the ear room heard it clearly, and Jiajing's gloomy face suddenly became strange, and he almost couldn't lift it in one breath. As for Wang Shang and Cao Xiang, they were furious in their hearts, at this time they thought, what is this Zhang Cheng must be a nurse invited by the Road Administration Bureau, there is no mistake, there is absolutely nothing wrong, what else can not be done with these shameless things?

On the side of the lobby, Xu Qian couldn't help but scold: "Bold, people are also imperial envoys, but you are a grass farmer who can scold?" What do you have to do with people giving birth to sons who don't have assholes? Even if he gives birth to a son who has no asshole, and the door is full of male thieves and prostitutes, it is also his family's business, is it your turn to talk more? ”

Zhang Cheng was so frightened that he felt that this little official's words were a little strange, as if he was not scolding him, but he was obviously speaking harshly to him.

He hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the villain knows his mistake." ”

Xu Qian's face softened a lot, and he said earnestly: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not a crime to ignore, I reprimand you like this, it's also for your own good, you are not an envoy who can make a lot of nonsense, you can speak without being responsible, you can refer to the deer as a horse, spread rumors, reverse black and white, say whatever you want, scold whoever you want, you are a grass farmer to know that illness comes from the mouth, disaster comes from the mouth, don't you say these words to find your own death?" Besides, people can be shameless, can you be shameless? ”

Zhang Cheng was dumbfounded, in the clouds, I don't know why, I can only say yes.

Xu Chang was angry at this time, and reprimanded Xu Qian: "Xu Xunpress, what are you talking about so much nonsense?" You think you're an emissary? Do you think that your surname is Wang or Cao, you can do serious things every day and talk nonsense that is not as good as bullshit? ”

Xu Qian hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, adults know their mistakes." ”

The movement in the hall was clearly transmitted into the ear room, Jiajing was holding hot tea, fortunately he hadn't eaten tea yet, otherwise he would have to squirt out the tea in his mouth, then the son of heaven would lose his temper in front of people.

Cao Xiang and Wang Shang naturally gritted their teeth, the father and son scolded people in a corner, and they were insulting in front of the emperor, but they were hiding here and couldn't show up, they had a sharp mouth, but there was no place for heroes.

Everything that should be said here in the lobby was said, Zhang Cheng just blindly guaranteed that no one was persecuted, and almost tears flowed out, repeatedly: "Is it wrong for the villain to serve the emperor?" The villain has brought all the money, who can persecute the villain? Ask the adults to be gracious, let the villain accept the silk, the adults are willing to give the villain a convenience, sooner or later in the future, the princess of Wandai, the villain will be ...... up and down the family"

Xu Chang gave up at this time, and Nunu said: "In this case, then it is approved, you bring the silver to the public house on the side to complete this formalities." ”

Zhang Cheng got the promise, and his heart suddenly burst into joy: "Lord Xie, Lord Xie......" Then he was satisfied and ran to the public house on the other side to find a scribe to do something.

Immediately after that, a second and third people came in, all of them were similar to Zhang Cheng, they all had to accept silk, one of them was actually a businessman who came from Tongzhou overnight, heard the news, did not sleep all night, and rode directly to the outside of the Beijing Division, the city gate opened early in the morning, he couldn't wait to come in, casually ate some refreshments to fill his stomach, and then rushed to the political situation on this road in a hurry.

Tongzhou is naturally not far from Jingshi, but it is not far away, but there are dozens of miles of land, and it is amazing to rush over overnight.
