Chapter 11: Rectification!

Volume 5 Jinghua Jiangnan Chapter 11 Rectification!

Mu Tie calmly stepped out of the porch slowly, and did not look at the people sitting in the side hall, and said in a cold voice: "I don't know which adult has to see Mu Mou in person? With such a big shelf, don't you know that a place is busy?"

Su Wenmao saw his former colleagues, and he always had a little sense of care, his eyes flew, and he made a look. Mu Tie actually knew who was coming, and at this time he was just making a show, pretending to be reminded by Su Wenmao, and turned around to look behind him suspiciously, and saw the young man.

"Who are you?" Mu Tie frowned, took a step closer, and suddenly was shocked, snorted twice, and knelt down on one knee cleanly, "Xiaguan Mu Tie, see Lord Tisi!"

Fan Xian looked at him expressionlessly, without any interest in cooperating with him in acting.

Mu Tie's face was shocked, and he said happily: "My lord, why don't you come here without saying a word, and let you wait outside, how is this called a lower official?"

Fan Xian still didn't speak, but a smile appeared on the corner of his lips. Mu Tie looked at this smile, but his heart began to cool, everyone knew that every time this little Fan laughed the sweetest, he was afraid that it was also the most annoyed time in his heart, so his voice couldn't help but lower: "This...... My lord, the ...... Lower officials. ”

Fan Xian still didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile.

Mu Tie's dark face showed a trace of remorse for no reason, and he didn't dare to say anything more, but just knelt down again.

In a side hall, the atmosphere was very depressing.

......

......

Fan Xian didn't want to see him make a fool of himself anymore. After all, Mu Tie is a landlord, and after Zhu Ge's suicide, he is basically in charge of the affairs of a place. He frowned and said, "The side hall is too dirty to entertain guests." ”

Mu Tie was stunned for a moment, and immediately became happy in his heart, and scolded the wind beside him: "Hurry up and let people clean up!"

"The case file just sat in the hall. Non-compliance. Fan Xian smiled.

Mu Tie jumped up and shouted loudly for the officials behind him to come out. Begin to collect the dusty case files into the dark room at the back. These officials were all lazy and walked out weakly, but they saw Master Mu standing honestly beside a young man, everyone didn't know Fan Xian, but they were all from intelligence investigation work, and their brains turned very fast, and they immediately guessed the identity of this young man. I was taken aback, and quickly got busy.

After a while, the side hall was cleaned up, and the case files were returned clearly, and it seemed that the Supervision Yuan still retained their original rapid response ability.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

"I'll give you half an hour, except for those who have hospital affairs in all ministries, departments, and offices today, except for those whose identities cannot be revealed. I'm going to see all the staff in one place. ”

As soon as Fan Xian lifted the hem of the robe in front of him, he sat down on the chair, stretched out his hand, Mu Tie flatteringly handed the tea bowl to his hand, and said with some dejection: "I'll go now." He knew that this young master was really not easy to bluff, and his future was all in the hands of the other party. I had to do things seriously, hoping to reduce some of the other party's disgust for me.

"You don't want to go in person, it's such a trivial matter. Fan Xian withdrew his hand, took a sip of tea, and found that it was already cold, so he couldn't help grinning. Mu Tie hurriedly stretched out his hand to change it, Fan Xian stared at him, put the tea bowl on the clean table beside him, and said, "You come in with me, I have something to tell you." ”

Mu Tie hurriedly arranged for his subordinates to call back all the staff who had been messing around outside. I went by myself and hurriedly followed Vantis to the backyard. Seeing Fan Xian step into the room he had just come out of, he felt nervous again.

Fan Xian frowned. looked at the jade mahjong under the threshold, and said: "Sure enough, it is the most powerful yamen in the supervision court, and the mahjong is actually made of jade." ”

Mu Tie sweated and explained: "It's a fake jadeite, this doesn't dare to deceive the adult, this is the new color of the land in the library before the year, like jadeite but it can't be broken, and a pair was given to the eight major places back then, and this pair has been placed in the yamen, and no one dares to take it home privately, usually ...... I don't have much hospital affairs, so I play once in a while...... I am ashamed of my humble position, and I ask you to punish him severely. ”

Fan Xian shook his head and said: "I'll talk about it for a while, I'm just a little disappointed, in a dignified supervision house, the kung fu of hiding traces is so unsatisfactory, you played mahjong here before?

Mu Tie wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead, knowing that this was the mahjong child he used to smash his nephew's land before, and those subordinates who didn't have long eyes must have forgotten this one when they cleaned up the house.

Fan Xian sat down, looked at him and said, "Tell me how you became an official......?

Mu Tie's heart moved slightly, thinking that these were not major crimes, and when he was at ease, he suddenly heard a loud bang! He was frightened, and looked at Fan Tisi with a wince.

Fan Xian slapped heavily on the table, with his current domineering skills, it would be easy to smash this wooden table into pieces, but this time he only made a loud voice -- Han Sheng reprimanded angrily: "Looking at that basket of fish before, I knew that you dared to accept the benefits of various departments, do you want to die? If you let the courtyard know, I am afraid that the Internal Affairs Department will be the first to cut you." ”

Mu Tie hurriedly knelt in front of him, but he was sobbing for a long time, unable to say anything, and he thought to himself that a basket of fish was not a big deal.

Fan Xian scolded coldly: "Don't you think a basket of fish is nothing?" But you have to know the iron rules in the courtyard, especially this place to supervise the hundred officials in Beijing, you are good to play with those courtiers, and you will monitor a fart in the future?"

Fan Xian has always been a seemingly gentle person, but gentle people occasionally get angry, and the faint chill in his words is full of oppression, which makes Mu Tie feel terrified.

......

......

Fan Xian looked at the official kneeling in front of him. In fact, it is inevitable that there will be some disappointment and surprise in my heart, not only for the place I am about to take over, but also for the person in front of me.

"Get up. ”

In fact, according to the regulations of the hospital, there is no need to be so strict between superiors and subordinates, but Mu Tie knows that his attitude at this time must be more correct, and he has some relationship with Fan Xian after all. Hearing Fan Xian's words, he dared to stand up straight.

Fan Xian looked at his impressive face. His lips are like thin iron, and his complexion is dark. I couldn't help frowning and said, "In the whole of Kyoto, you are the first person to know my true identity......"

Mu Tie's heart darkened, when he investigated Niulan Street last year, he once took the liberty of going to Fan's Mansion to interrogate, at that time, the Fan family was not as hot as it is now, but the young adult in front of him revealed his identity. I knew that he was the legendary Tisi in the courtyard, this was originally an extremely rare opportunity, I thought that I would fight for many years less, but I didn't expect that in the end, it was the half-little old man who cheapened Wang Qinian.

"You've helped me with some things over the course of the year. Fan Xian squinted his eyes and said, "It stands to reason that you should go more of my way, but you didn't, which I'm very happy about." I thought you were a sincere person, but I didn't expect that in a year, you have changed so much, from the honest man who was a little awkward when he slapped Sima Fart, to the old fritter bureaucrat who only knows how to live a bad life and has learned to change his face. I was disappointed. ”

I was very disappointed with these four words, which made Mu Tie even more disappointed in himself - he knew that although he was not as intimate as Wang Qinian and Tisi, and he did not expect to be able to be in charge of a large area of travel alone, but in the past year, he had been promoted from the original seven-rank affair to the master of the fifth-grade, thinking with his ass, it was also the face of the Lord Vantis in front of him.

He took a deep breath and no longer defended, but said in a deep voice: "Please see how the official behaves in the future." ”

Fan Xian noticed that he had replaced his humble position with a lower official. The waist bar is also straightened a little. With a slight hint of appreciation in his eyes, he said, "That's fine." Not everyone has the talent to praise, don't keep remembering Wang Qinian's style. If you go back to the original self who was dedicated to investigating the case, this official will naturally not miss your future. ”

......

......

After the wind and rain, it was sunny, and after the sunny, it was wind and rain, Mu Tie looked at Lord Tisi in front of him, thinking that this master's mind was really like the summer that had just passed in Kyoto, and he only listened to Fan Xian and asked in a deep voice: "Tell me, why is this place rotten like this?" I have also been to several other places in the courtyard, it is simply incomparable, and the officials in other places are all cautious and conscientious, not to mention playing mahjong, even if they are out of a gong, they are running slowly, and they have to walk without wind...... Look at you, what's the difference between it and the wet market?"

Mu Tie had already gone out at this time, and if he wanted to go back to himself, he had to hug Lord Xiao Fan's thick legs, and he didn't shy away from anything, and said directly: "Lord Tisi, the reason why one place has become like this, the subordinates are naturally to blame, but for more than a year, there has been no real adult management, and the people below are not convinced by me, so it is naturally scattered." ”

Fan Xian was very clear about this matter. At the beginning, one of the leaders of the original Zhu Ge secretly took refuge in Xinyang, and leaked Yan Bingyun's information, which directly led to Yan Bingyun's arrest in the north. Since that day, there has been no leader in one place, on the one hand, Chen Pingping wants to wait for Yan Bingyun to return to China, and secondly, naturally because this position is indeed very sensitive, secretly supervising hundreds of officials in Beijing, if this power is used, you can get too many benefits, and there was no suitable candidate in the courtyard at that time, so it has been delayed.

"Even if there is no adult to manage it, but the regulations and details are always there, why is no one doing things?

Mu Tie was actually a little puzzled, shook his head, and then said, "My lord said that the regulations are there...... But if you want to do things in one place, you always have to issue a document in the courtyard, there is no leader to speak, and we, ordinary officials, are always difficult to find a name for ourselves, so we go to the mansions of the servants and scholars. ”

Fan Xian was stunned for a moment, and said angrily: "Didn't the two places send intelligence over this year?"

"It's sent. Mu Tie glanced at him, "But according to Qinglu, officials above the third grade, we are not qualified to investigate on our own, and we must always ask for an order." At the very least, the dean has to give it a hand-to-hand approval. ”

Fan Xian said helplessly: "You can't move for the time being above the third grade, what about the third grade or below?"

Mu Tieying said: "My lord, I don't dare to hide it from you, in fact, although it has always been the most important department in the hospital, in fact, it has always been the most incompetent department, and the reason is very simple-the second and third departments are only dealing with dead things such as intelligence, poison, and weapons. Five and six departments are responsible for security. Seven dealt only with prisoners, and eight only dealt with books. Eight major places. There is only one and four local departments that deal with people, and the energy of the four places is mainly in foreign countries and in the county roads, where do those officials below dare to compete with the people everywhere?

Speaking of this, his face couldn't help but have a hint of self-deprecation: "That is, we are in one place." Deep in Kyoto, it seems to be beautiful, but in fact, the objects of dealing with are the ministers of the DPRK and the local officials of Beijing, and they are more noble than us in terms of status, not to mention the status - the Beijing officials look at a sign in the Supervision Yuan of the Daqing Dynasty, and it is natural for them to show favor to us. The six parts are good, and we won't forget our share, but we really have to work hard...... They won't be afraid of us. ”

Fan Xian thought to himself, this is not right! Where had I ever heard of such a Jinyi guard in his previous life?--"Below the third grade, you have the right to file a case and the right to investigate independently, and they will only curry favor with you if they are afraid of you." How dare I compete with you?"

Mu Tie laughed at himself and said: "My lord, those officials may be below the third grade, but what about other teachers? These officials have long woven a big net, all over the capital, and some cases, even if we find out the evidence, it is not easy to report." ”

Fan Xian squinted his eyes and asked, "Why?"

"Quite simply, these brothers in one place are also going to live in Kyoto. Mu Tie sighed and said, "Although Yu Lu is much higher than ordinary court officials, the relatives at home always have to find some way to live. Look for some messengers in the yamen of the various ministries. Even if you don't deal with these officials, you can even go and sell vegetables. If you check a scribe in Kyoto Prefecture, Kyoto Prefecture Yin has the ability to make your vegetable stall unbearable, and the reason for using the land is still deep in line with the Qing law, you can't find the slightest fault. As for those who have something to do with the palace, they won't look at us with a straight eye, just like Dai Zhen of the Vegetable Inspection Department of Dengshikou, a well-known corrupt official, but we can't do it...... Why? Because Grandpa Dai in the palace is his own uncle!"

"Since Lord Zhu ...... himself After committing suicide in fear of crime, there is no one to take the lead, and these officials below will not easily offend the officials in Beijing, who does not have three relatives and four relatives? They are all in the officialdom, and there must always be room for future meetings. ”

Mu Tie said ashamedly: "I'm not afraid of the anger of the adults, the lower officials also have a clear idea of protecting their lives this year, except for the big cases confessed in the courtyard, basically nothing has been investigated, my lord, it's not that the lower officials don't have a tiger guts, it's really Kyoto, it's not easy, there are too many Beijing officials to deal with every day." ”

Fan Xian didn't say anything, and said calmly: "Talk to me like this in the future, rectify the style, the first thing to rectify is not to be pragmatic, just to meet the wind of the boss." ”

Mu Tie listened to the freshness of the term rectification, but he was scared for no reason, and hurriedly asked the adults for instructions, and after a few words, Fan Xian said with an expressionless face, Mu Tie listened with admiration, and was afraid that he would forget, so he copied it with a hard time...... I don't know how long it took, but I finally heard Deng Ziyue knock lightly on the door and report: "My lord, everyone is here." ”

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――

In the first place of the Supervision Yuan, in addition to the people left behind in the suburbs of Beijing, there are a total of 310 members, except for the place where the case is being investigated today, and the "nails" buried in the ministers' mansions, basically all who can come have come, occupying an entire flat in a backyard, each of them has already sorted out their clothes, and stands solemnly, waiting for Lord Tisi's lecture.

Fan Xian sat on the chair in front of everyone, without the idea of standing up, looking at these people and nodding slightly, he found that more than a year of casualness had not completely sharpened the solemn aura on these people, and he could still smell a trace of the gloomy smell of the secret agents of the Supervision Institute on their bodies, and he was quite satisfied with this.

Mu Tie leaned over and leaned into his ear and said: "One place is more special, the secret agent is not secret, here are all places with bright identities, most of the people are still hidden, the list of nails is kept in the courtyard, and it cannot be accessed, if you want to check it, if you want to check it." A report and a warrant from the dean's office are also required. He thought of Fan Xian's identity, paused and said, "You are the Tisi, you don't need the dean's warrant, but you still need a report, I'll write it later." ”

Fan Xian shook his head, and after being silent for a moment, he said with a smile: "No need." From today onwards, I will be in charge of one place. If I want to write a report, I'll have someone write it. ”

Mu Tie's body stiffened, he thought that Fan Tisi was just here to inspect, but he didn't expect that he would have to take care of one place! But when he thought that he could work with adults in the future, it would be easier to get closer, and a trace of joy appeared on his face.

......

......

There was silence on the floor for a long time, and Fan Xian didn't speak. And the hundreds of members in one place have been standing in a javelin-like posture, although they are not soldiers, but the black of the brush is still extremely eye-catching, and there is a feeling of a Scottish field on a rainy day.

After a long time, Fan Xian stood up and spoke softly: "I am Fan Xian, and from today on, I will be your chief officer." ”

Most people guessed who he was. But when they heard that this world-famous Xiao Fan was going to come to a place to serve as the chief official, everyone was slightly shocked, but they were more happy, after all, after Zhu Ge's death, it was difficult to carry out work not only in Beijing, but also in the courtyard. Now that Master Xiao Fan is in the lead, who would dare to push off the other seven places in the courtyard? The various ministries and yamen in Beijing are afraid that the benefits will be even greater in secret.

But Fan Xian's next words made everyone feel a chill.

"This official knows how you have spent the year. Fan Xian smiled and said, "From now on, you can't live like this again." ”

After throwing away this very simple conclusion, he sat back in his chair and glanced at Mu Tie.

Mu Tie stood up, coughed twice, and glanced at his subordinates with great majesty. said: "Gather everyone to come today. The main thing is that at the beginning of his tenure, there are some things to explain. I have been entrusted by the Lord to make a few remarks, the main idea of which has been drawn up by the Lord of the Priests, and I ask you to listen carefully. ”

The officials in the courtyard listened solemnly.

"Today, I would like to say a little bit about the way we do in one place. Mu Tie frowned, bitter and bitter: "Why do you have a Supervision Yuan? Why do you want to have one of us? Because there are corrupt officials in the court who deceive Your Majesty, oppress the people, and corrupt the Qing Law." Your Majesty must be aware of the rule of officials, the people must live and work in peace and contentment, and the dignity of Qinglu must be maintained, so there must be a place. ”

The officials were stunned, thinking to themselves that Master Mu has always been good at handling cases, when will he do this officialdom article? It's just that Your Majesty, the people, and the three mountains of Qinglu pressed over, and no one dared to say anything.

“...... If we want to be clear-sighted and deaf and share worries for Your Majesty, we must be in unison, be strong and strong, and give orders like mountains! If this is not the case, supervising the hundreds of officials in Beijing will become a castle in the air......

"What is the problem with us now? Your Majesty's instructions are naturally wise and correct, and the work of one place is also fruitful, which Lord Tisi has also praised before. Mu Tie's words changed, and he said coldly: "...... However, in the past year, there have been many problems in one place, and as the acting chief officer, I am of course duty-bound and will ask for punishment tomorrow, but from today onwards, I am not allowed to do anything that violates the regulations of the Supervision Yuan. ”

"It is forbidden to accept gifts from other ministers of the court, privately or in the name of one place, and all the benefits that can be converted into money. ”

"It is not permissible to refuse to accept any report for any reason. ”

"It is not allowed, in any name, to have daily contact with the relevant officials of any ministry or department, if the case needs to be entertained, it must be declared in advance, and the minimum number of people is more than three!"

"Strengthen the organization of transactional work and strengthen ......"

"Strictly implement the regulations of the Supervision Yuan and the relevant rules, and if there is anything wrong with your colleagues in the past year, please explain to this official within 10 days, and you will not be blamed for the past. ”

......

......

Mu Tie was still talking, but the officials below became nervous, they didn't know that this was the so-called rectification movement, but they only heard that if Fan Tisi really did it ruthlessly, the benefits he earned in this year would never be earned in the future, and he would redevote himself to the dangerous and glorious work of offending the Beijing officials, and everyone's faces couldn't help but show embarrassment and indignation.

But Rao was so, and they still didn't whisper. He did not refute it, did not look like an official like the officials of the six ministries, and although his complexion changed a little, he still stood firm with extremely strong control -- the Supervision Yuan, which Chen Pingping had single-handedly trained, has always been the most ironclad spy team in the world in terms of foundation and essence.

Mu Tie's speech was finished, and Fan Xian stood up. Putting his hands behind his back, he smiled and said, "What do you think?" Say it to your face at this time. ”

There was silence below.

The identity gap between the ordinary secret agents and ordinary investigators of the Supervision Yuan and Fan Xian, the lady of the sky, is too big, and no one dares to refute anything in front of him.

Fan Xian smiled and lured the snake out of the hole: "Brainstorming, Lord Dean asked me to come here, which is also a great respect for my colleagues, and everyone also knows that this official is busy, and the general yamen invites me to go." I'm too lazy to go. ”

After saying this, the mood of the court officials relaxed a little, and it was rumored that this Lord Tisi was hiding a knife in his smile, but he really didn't see it at this time, and the other party was of noble birth and was a famous talent in the world, how could he really be proficient in these dirty things of the Supervision Yuan, and he should respond to it for the time being. Later, they bowed and saluted, "I respectfully obey the orders of Lord Tisi." ”

Fan Xian frowned slightly, a little dissatisfied.

Mu Tie was close, and he could see the coldness in his eyes, thinking that Fan Xian was dissatisfied with the fact that his subordinates were not so loyal, and he was anxious. Hurriedly glanced at Feng'er who was standing in the front row, this person was his distant nephew, also surnamed Mu.

When Mu Feng'er saw his uncle's eyes, he thought that he was going to stand up against it--but how could he dare to say a word to the dignified Lord Tisi! He was so frightened that his legs trembled again and again, and finally he remembered the kindness that his uncle had always had, and he shook his teeth, and after standing out of the queue, he gave an unequivocal salute and said, "Lord Tisi." Although it is a job to supervise the duties of hundreds of officials in Beijing. But it is inevitable that people will come and go, and everyone will have relatives. Like a lowly brother-in-law, he is now working in the horse supervisor, if I don't have daily contact with him, it's okay, but I'm afraid that the wife at home will be noisy. ”

These words seem to be playful, but no one in the audience dared to laugh out loud, and no one knew why Mu Feng'er was so bold today.

Fan Xian was happy in his heart, but his face was gloomy, and he scolded in a cold voice: "You are a piece of shit in the courtyard, how can you paste your face! The detailed rules have made it clear that after the relatives within three generations have been declared and registered, they are not among them, you want to say this, isn't there something inappropriate? Mu Tie, drag your distant nephew down, and wait for the rules!"

Mu Tie sighed, and dragged his nephew to the board with a sad face. Fan Xian's cold gaze swept around everyone and said, "Is there anything else you have to say?"

Everyone knew that he was coercing people with officials, but they didn't expect that there were also hard-necked people among the secret agents, so they stood up and saluted in a deep voice: "Lord Tisi, investigating the case is what we should do, but if we encounter intimidation from nobles, what about it?

There was silence in the field, and when handling a case, the most feared thing was to meet officials who had a relationship with the palace, because no matter how strong the Supervision Yuan was, it was still just a thug raised in the palace.

......

......

Fan Xian looked at him with a calm face and said, "Report my name." ”

The five big characters are loud and loud, who dares to make things difficult and intimidate you, no matter whether he is a minister or a powerful person, just report my Fan Xian's name! In today's Kyoto, Fan Xian does have the confidence to say such a thing, even if those people in the palace still show a little self-esteem in front of him on the surface, but if it is implemented, I am afraid that those officials and magnates who have been on the third grade, no one dares to risk offending Fan Xian to bully his subordinates.

With the right to supervise in his left hand and the world's money in his right hand, who wants to offend Fan Xian?

―――――――――――――――――――――――――

Fan Xian looked at the official who was out of the ranks, with some appreciation, after he deliberately suppressed Mu Tie, he still dared to stand up and speak, thinking of this, he slowed down his speech and said softly: "If you have any other opinions, put them forward together, I will not add to the crime." ”

The man actually had nothing to say, and said stubbornly: "The subordinates think that it is a matter of course for private individuals not to receive money and property, but it is okay to collect some in the name of one place, on the one hand, the relationship with the six departments and departments will be better, and it will be convenient to investigate the case in the future, on the other hand, after the money and property are dispersed, it can be regarded as a supplement." ”

Fan Xian looked at the people in the courtyard, knowing that these people were also distressed about these silver coins, and couldn't help sneering and said: "When it comes to Yulu, you are three times more than the court officials of the same level, although you are not as good as those court officials, but this is the original intention of high salary and incorruptibility at the beginning of the establishment of the hospital, what is there to complain about." ”

Su Wenmao, who had been standing behind him, was familiar with Fan Tisi, and said boldly: "The Supervision Yuan has always endured the backlash of officials and the eyes of the people, and the situation in one place is relatively special, and the imperial court is unwilling to make up for more, so it is ......."

Fan Xian shook his head, stopped him from speaking, and quietly looked at these secret agents and officials of the Supervision Institute in the field, and waited until the atmosphere in the room had been squeezed to silence before he said word by word:

"Don't ask what the court has done for you, ask yourself what you have done for the court. ”

Su Wenmao was stunned when he heard this, chewed a little, and it was very meaningful, and he couldn't help but feel a trace of guilt and admiration in his heart, yes, when these officials were planning to do so, did they think about what the imperial court established the Supervision Yuan for?

The official who came out to speak in front of his head was also stunned in place, so many years of education and edification of the Supervision Yuan, Chen Pingping's admonition, made him seem to return to the mental state when he first stepped into the Supervision Yuan, his heart was hot, he clenched his right fist and shouted:

"It's all for the sake of Qingguo. ”

"All for the sake of Qingguo!" is the purpose that everyone in the room must remember on the first day of entering the Supervision Yuan.

Fan Xian looked at the scene off the field, smiled very gratefully, clenched his right fist lightly, and said in his heart: "It's all for life." ”。
