Chapter 15: The Interlude of Black and White

Fan Xian ordered Dai Zhen to be arrested in one place, precisely because there was the eunuch leader behind the other party.

The officials in Kyoto found that even Dai's father-in-law was neatly subdued, and they were naturally shocked by the determination of one part of the Supervision Yuan and the methods of Fan Tisi, and the work of one place was carried out in Kyoto in an orderly and secret manner, and according to the rules of previous years, they broke into the door in the dark and quietly invited those officials back to the hospital.

The sudden purge brought a cold wind to Kyoto, and the officials thought that this talented man was going to stir up a storm in Beijing like the case in ChΕ«n Tianshi. But gradually people realized that this was not the case. The officials investigated and dealt with in this turmoil were all of relatively low rank, and there were no important figures in the various factions, and there were no major cases involving a wide range of people.

The elders of the court, the subordinates of the princes, for the sake of Fan Xian's face and the lessons of Dai's father-in-law, did not make any drastic reactions, and after a long time, they found that this turmoil did not involve the key points of officialdom, just some fragmentary knocks, and the officials had some hearts to carry it, and they also put it back in their stomachs, guessing that Fan Xian was just a new official taking office, and he just used these three fires to establish power.

Although the fire is not big, there are always people who are worried about being affected, so these days, Liu has become the busiest person in Fan's mansion, and the hands that like to hand over a silver ticket without fireworks to rì are now beginning to collect cash tickets with great incense and pity, and she naturally transferred all these silver tickets to Fan Xian, Fan Xian picked most of them and sent them to the office, and sent the rest to Yanfu.

From ancient times to the present, from Fan Shen's world to Fan Xian's world, money has always been the supreme weapon to soothe people's hearts and appease people's hearts.

Therefore, the staff of the Supervision Yuan are much more motivated, and the officials of various factions who have successfully come into close contact with Mrs. Shangshu's fingers are also a lot more relieved - those who send money, those who receive money, and comfort each other.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” affairs were already on the right track, so Fan Xianjin did not go to the Xinfeng Pavilion, but sat in his own study and looked at the case file in his hand, which was summarized by Mu Tie, and although the writing was not jΔ«ng, it was better to be organized.

Dai's father-in-law's nephew, after paying a large fine, finally got lucky to get back from the supervision institute, took advantage of the loophole of Qinglu, and did not move to the Criminal Department or Dali Temple, but the petty official of the Procuratorial Department naturally couldn't be done, and the other small cases were also handled more gently.

It stands to reason that since the Supervision Yuan has investigated the case of the Vegetable Division, I am afraid that Dai Zhen will not only lose his black hat, but also his head. However, Fan Xian somewhat appreciated Dai's father-in-law's knowledge, and helped him reduce some of the troubles after the rì, and Ye Ling'er silently entered the palace to help him speak, but passed on a sentence of intercession from Concubine Shu - this favor is naturally to be sold.

Shi Yili looked at his young "door master" across the desk, a little restless. According to the letter, they have done well in all counties and roads - Prime Minister Lin Lin has been in the court for many years, and there are naturally relationships in all counties, and these people are now looking at Fan Xian, and they naturally want to take more care of Fan Xian's three "proud protΓ©gΓ©s".

Among the four, he is the only one who is not on the list, so naturally he can't immediately embark on a career to show his skills. Before Fan Xian went to Northern Qi, he left him a letter and asked him to wait for him to come back, but after Lord Fan came back, he immediately took over the affairs of the Supervision Yuan.

Fan Xian raised his head, glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Don't you feel too stuffy?"

Shi Yili said with a wry smile: "The teacher is a few years younger than me, and he can be so calm in the cumbersome official documents, it seems that the students also need to sharpen some xΓ¬ng." ”

Fan Xian smiled, thinking that if Hou Jichang was here, he would definitely stand up and talk back, if it was Yang Wanli, maybe he couldn't help but wonder in his heart a long time ago, and began to question why he was a repeat offender privately, only this Shi Xianli was not in a hurry or dry, but he would not be boring in his words, and his decision to let him stay by his side did not seem to be a wrong choice.

"Don't call the teacher. He said: "I'd rather you call me an adult, it's not too official, I really feel a little ridiculous." ”

Shi Yanli was stunned, in fact, the fact that candidates are younger than the examiner is really common in this world, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Fan Xian handed over the case file on the table and asked, "What do you think?"

Shi Xianli didn't know if the adults were testing themselves, but these official documents had been memorized in the past two days, and he shook his head and said sincerely: "The student really doesn't understand the teacher...... What do you mean? If you really want to fight tigers, you won't always stare at these rats. ”

Fan Xian said with a smile: "It's just to find something to do for the cats in one place, and when you are familiar with it, you won't be too flustered when you really do big things in the future." ”

Shi Yanli pretended not to hear the word "big thing", and sincerely asked: "My lord, as an official in the court, he naturally has to share his worries for the saint and do things for the court, but looking at the actions of the adults these days, although they grasp the small and magnify, they still offend some people. ”

"Offending people is a necessary trait of the Supervisory Yuan. Fan Xian explained: "You also know that the Supervision Yuan is a private institution of His Majesty, not a public instrument in the real sense, but a private weapon of the Holy One, and we only have one object of allegiance, so whether it is from the perspective of the palace or the perspective of the Supervision Yuan itself, we must be a horn that offends people...... And a deep place in Beijing, stumped by the prosperity of Kyoto, has completely lost the original meaning of the original majesty, not strong enough, not ruthless enough. His Majesty asked me to take care of one place, naturally I wanted to return to the original corner sΓ¨ who dared to offend people. ”

Shi Xianli couldn't pretend to be anything anymore, and the door master had already said to him so thoroughly, so he could only reply honestly: "Your Majesty wants to be an adult...... Be a lonely minister. ”

Fan Xian nodded: "Not partial, His Majesty wants me to become the second Chen Pingping, but it's just a ......" He changed his tone and said with a slight mockery: "I went to visit the dean's mansion, and the mansion was extravagant and extravagant, but the loneliness engraved in my bones is really not what I like." ”

Shi Yan immediately understood what he meant, and said sadly: "But if the adults are vain, the eyes of the saint are like torches, and they will naturally see it clearly, I am afraid that it will be detrimental to the future of the adults." ”

Fan Xian smiled and didn't say anything, thinking that the emperor Lao Er would not have the idea of being more poisonous than a tiger under normal circumstances.

Shi Yanli also understood that he had said too much, so he changed the topic and said: "A case is now investigated, although it has returned to the past tradition and started to arrest people at night, but the adults have always refused to hide the news, but anyone who inquired about it will tell the truth...... The students really don't agree. ”

Fan Xian asked with interest, "Why?"

After a moment of consideration, Shi Xianli said: "The Supervision Yuan is a secret agency of His Majesty, and the reason why it can deter hundreds of officials, in addition to the privileges set by Qing Law, is more important because of its mystery and yΔ«n...... The feeling of darkness, the ignorance of the world, the more they don't understand something, the more they will feel afraid, and the adults are now deliberately putting the actions of one place on the table, just afraid that it will weaken this feeling, so that the government and the opposition will look down on the Supervision Yuan. ”

Fan Xian admitted that he had a point, but still said: "I know that you disagree with some of the provisions in a new regulation, such as the release of news, and I also admit that if the Supervision Yuan has maintained the image of a demon devouring in the dark, it will be very convenient for us to act." ”

Shi Xianli was a little surprised that the sect master would agree with his own opinion, thinking to himself, could it be that you are unwilling to let the world treat you like a ghost?

Fan Xian's next words immediately overturned his imagination: "I don't care what the world thinks of the Supervision Yuan...... But you have to be clear, I'm in charge of one place, not the whole yard. One is in Kyoto, except for those spies who are stuck in the palace of the prince, there is no way to hide everything at all, and there are many officials in Kyoto like lackeys and carp, and there are inextricable links between everyone...... Since there is no way to maintain the mystery of one place, then I will simply make it clear, and maybe there will be more deterrence. ”

He then said seriously: "However, I only ask that the results of the investigation be presented in a bright light, and I do not require the process to be the same...... You should know that I don't want to be a saint. ”

Shi Xianli nodded, feeling extremely comforted, it seems that his disciple is really a character who dares to expose the shortcomings of officialdom and only has reservations for the time being.

Fan Xian looked at him, not knowing what the other party thought of him, and said: "From today onwards, all cases investigated and handled, after the case is concluded and sent to Dali Temple or the Criminal Department, you have to write a charter, explain the reasons for the case in detail, and then announce it, I have already chosen the place where the announcement is posted, and it is on the wall between Dali Temple and Dali Temple." ”

Shi Yanli was dumbfounded and said, "This ...... This...... This is not in accordance with the rules, it is neither the Ministry of Criminal Justice issuing a document for sea fishing, nor the court issuing a list, nor the Supervision Yuan...... An announcement is also being made?!"

Fan Xian said angrily: "It's not the Supervision Yuan, it's a place! Didn't you say before that it should be brighter? Are you going to let me write a novel and sell it around?"

Shi Xianli immediately responded happily: "This is the best, it can solve the confusion of the people, and it can also maintain the feeling that no one is close to the living for a while...... Moreover, adults have opened a bookstore, which is the most convenient to run. ”

Fan Xian exhaled angrily, got up and walked out, Shi Xianli followed him carefully, and finally couldn't help asking, "Teacher, is this the student who started working as an errand in the Supervision Academy?"

Fan Xian sighed, knowing that the scholars in this world were still unwilling to enter the shameless spy agency after all, patted him on the shoulder and said: "You are my personal secretary, I will talk to my father, temporarily hang in the household department, change it again, don't worry, no one will point at your back and say that you are the vicious dog of the Supervision Yuan." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” walking in the large and amazing garden of the back house of the Fan Mansion, Fan Xian frowned, "Use dark means to achieve a bright result?" He thought that he was not the kind of saint who wronged himself, although he was very willing to do something for the people of Qingguo, a little to curb the atmosphere of officialdom, at least to ensure that the embankment of the big river in the south would not collapse so quickly, but the rectification of one place was more due to his selfishness.

Because although he bears the name of a poet immortal, and now he has the secret praise of a new generation of literati leaders, but when he clashes with the yΔ«n filth accumulated by the Supervision Yuan for 20 years, there will always be some damage to his reputation. So he wants to make a place brighter, because a good reputation will do him a great favor in the future.

Thinking of the sentence about darkness and light, I can't help but think of the sentence when I was chatting with Begonia in Northern Qi, "The night gave me black eyes...... I'm going to use it to roll my eyes at the world. He couldn't help but be a little worried about the situation in the north, and wondered if Haitang could arrange the matter he had told him - Uncle Wuzhu was still playing and missing, and Kuhe had no news of returning to Beijing.

In the garden in the distance, there are faintly a few girls gossiping, today is a sunny day, the grasshoppers after the autumn are jumping in the grass, and the knowledge on the tree is also taking advantage of the last time of the cicada to call desperately, covering the voices of those women talking, Dabao catches ants on the courtyard wall, Fan Sizhen that guy did not go to clan school, but he is not at home.

Fan Xian squinted his eyes and looked at it, and found that Ye Ling'er was here again today, and he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart, this girl felt that she had done Fan Xian a great favor, and she had come to the house to play these days, and she was unceremonious. When he found out that Ye Ling'er was sitting next to the shy Lord Roujia, his heart was even more bitter, and the twelve-year-old girl became thirteen years old...... But she is still a little girl, and Fan Xian doesn't want to be stared at by the little girl's admiring eyes.

In the past few days, he has refused Li Hongcheng's banquet several times, and Yan Bingyun has not found out yet, so he has to hide first. And today he has to avoid Roujia, the little Luo Li who secretly promised him. As soon as the true qi in his body was lucky, Xiao Fan's body was light, and he showed the light body kung fu he had practiced under the shadow of the stick, and the yellow grass flew by, and he jumped out of the house silently.

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€” came to the house that Wang Qinian bought for one hundred and twenty taels of silver on Shenzheng Road in Kyoto, Fan Xian sat in the innermost room and stretched comfortably. This is his most secret nest, except for the Qi Nian team and Chen Pingping, even the people in the family don't know that he often handles official and private affairs here.

Deng Ziyue solemnly put the two bamboo tubes on the table, and then withdrew, he knew that he was not as trusted by Lord Tisi as Wang Qinian, so he consciously left the house.

The face of the bamboo tube is very similar, perhaps they are all produced at the foot of Shangyan Mountain on the edge of Beijing, and the fire paint used in the sealing is also very similar, all of them are complete, and they should not have been moved, but they are just the secret marks on the bamboo joints, so that the secret agents who are responsible for transmitting intelligence in the Supervision Institute know that these two extremely secret letters belong to the two routes of the northern system.

Fan Xian picked up the bamboo tube, first of all, he was very serious to confirm that no one had opened it, and Wang Qinian's calligraphy with Pan Ling's charm on the fire paint was indeed not easy to pretend, so he opened the bamboo tube with confidence and took out the two letters inside.

A letter was sent by the manager, and a letter was sent by Begonia, and Fan Xian set up a communication line for her in order to facilitate contact with Begonia.

The manager did not send any information worth paying attention to, although she had been in accordance with Fan Xian and Haitang's plan, converted to Tianyi, but the efforts to enter the palace did not yield results for the time being, and in the capital, Shen Chong's family was ruined, in addition to the heavy blow to the forces of the Houdang, it did not cause much repercussions, and the Shangshan Tiger has also been confined at home, but at the end of the letter, it was said that the Northern Qi national teacher Kuhe had returned to Shangjing and had been in retreat, although no one dared to suspect anything, but the manager was convinced that the peerless powerhouse must have been injured.

Fan Xian smiled, there are only two or three great masters in this world who can fight with Kuhe's human-eating monster.

In Haitang's letter, he didn't even mention half a word of the great grandmaster - he and Haitang have an interconnected relationship, so naturally it's not worth expecting her to say anything, but he cares about whether the auspicious thing is properly arranged.

After thinking about it, he began to write back, urging Haitang to fulfill the agreement at that time, this matter is just a convenient thing for Haitang, but it is of great significance to Fan Xian. In the reply letter to the manager, he just copied a small poem by Li Qingzhao to express his encouragement, and did not say much.

In fact, in these days of dealing with one place, Fan Xian thinks about the marriage between Ruoruo and Li Hongcheng the most, this matter does not depend on the character of the prince at all, whether there is a conflict between the political positions of the two sides, for Fan Xian, the most important thing is only one point.

Does my sister like it or not?

Ruo Ruo has already expressed his attitude and doesn't like itβ€”although Fan Xian, like all his brothers, has some incomprehensible anger towards the girl who is in the green chΕ«n stage, and thinks to himself that you are not married?, but it is more of a protection from the bottom of his bones, since his sister doesn't like it, he is going to start breaking this marriage, this is a very simple reason.

This is not a trivial matter, and it can even be said to be the most troublesome thing that Fan Xian has encountered since he came to Kyoto from Shanzhou. The saint pointed out that the marriage was right, and there was no reason to hinder the footsteps of this family affair.

Therefore, there are only two aspects: first, keep an eye on the second prince's side, always be ready to bring down the other party and drag Li Hongcheng down, and then ask for a divorce, it may be okay. Second, starting from Ruoruo's side, give a benefit temptation that even the emperor dìdū cannot ignore, and temporarily keep Ruoruo away from Kyoto.

The former technique, I don't know how much movement it will make, and the latter technique is too illusory, and even Fan Xian himself has little confidence.

"Humanity will succeed in ten thousand bones, do you want to get a marriage to break ten thousand bones?"

He smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking that if it really didn't work out at that time, it would only be troublesome for Uncle Wuzhu to take Ruoruo to wander around the world, and it would be impossible for His Majesty to really behead the Fan Mansion because of this matter.
