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?"

When Su Wenmao saw his former colleagues, he always had a little sense of care, his eyes flew, and he made a sè. 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 was the master of one place, and after Zhu Ge's suicide, he was basically in charge of the affairs of one 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, which was not in accordance with the regulations. Fan Xian smiled.

Mu Tie jumped up, shouted loudly for the officials behind him to come out, and began to summarize the dusty case files into the dark room in 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 and investigation work, and their brains turned very fast, and they immediately guessed the identity of this young man, and they were startled, and they quickly got busy.

In a short time, the side hall was cleaned up, and the case files were returned clearly.

―――――――――――――――――――――――― "Give you half an hour, except for those who have hospital affairs in various ministries, departments, and mansions, except for those whose identities cannot be revealed, I will 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, so he had to do things seriously, hoping to reduce some of the other party's disgust for him.

"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 were messing around outside, and he hurriedly followed Fan Tisi to the backyard, watching Fan Xian step into the room he had just come out of, and his heart was nervous.

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

Mu Tie sweated and explained: "It's a fake jadeite, this doesn't dare to deceive adults, this is a new product made 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 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's heart frightened.

............ Fan Xian looked at the official kneeling in front of him, and he was inevitably a little disappointed and surprised in his heart, not only for the place he was about to take over, but also for the person in front of him.

"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 were like thin iron, and his face was dark and dark, and he 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 had the audacity to go to Fan's Mansion to question, at that time the Fan family was not as hot as it is now, but the young adult in front of him showed his identity, and he knew that he was the legendary Tisi in the courtyard, this was originally an extremely rare opportunity, he thought that he would struggle for many years less, but he 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, I'm very happy, 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 patted Sima Fart, to the old fritter bureaucrat who only knows how to be bad and has learned to change his face, I am very disappointed." ”

I am very disappointed with these four words, which makes Mu Tie even more disappointed in himself - he knows that although he is not as intimate as Wang Qinian and Tisi, and he does not expect to be able to be in charge of a large area of travel alone, but in this year's time, he has been promoted from the original seven-rank affair to the master of the fifth-grade, thinking with his ass, it is also the face of the Lord Fan Tisi in front of him.

He took a deep breath and no longer defended, but said in a deep voice: "Please look at the lower official's future appearance." ”

Fan Xian noticed that he had replaced his humble position with a lower official, his waist was straightened up, and his eyes showed a slight appreciation, and said: "That's good, 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 get 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 they naturally scattered." ”

Fan Xian was very clear about this matter. At the beginning, one of the leaders of the original Zhu Ge secretly defected to Xinyang, revealed Yan Bingyun's information, and directly led Yan Bingyun to be arrested in the north, and later the hospital self-checked, Zhu Ge failed, and committed suicide at the joint meeting of the hospital affairs in the secret room, which is a very sensational thing since the establishment of the Supervision Yuan. 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 Qing Law, we are not qualified to investigate officials above the third grade on our own, and we must always ask for an order, at least with the dean's 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 one department is nominally 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. Six of the five divisions were responsible for guarding, seven were only dealing with prisoners, and eight were only dealing with books. Of the eight major departments, only one and the four places are departments that deal with people, and the jīng forces in the four places are 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 all ministers of the DPRK and China, and the local officials in Beijing are more noble than us in terms of status, not to mention the status - the Beijing officials look at the sign of the Supervision Yuan of the Daqing Dynasty, and it is natural to show favor to us, and the six departments are good, and they will not forget our share, but they really have to be more energetic...... They won't be afraid of us. ”

Fan Xian thought to himself that this is not right! Where had he ever heard of such a brocade guard in his previous life?--"Below the third grade, you have the right to file a case and the right to investigate, they are afraid that you will curry favor with you, how can they dare to compete with you?"

Mu Tie laughed at himself and said: "My lord, those officials may be below the third grade, but what about his 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 the average court official, but the relatives at home always have to find some way to live, looking for some messengers in the yamen of various ministries, even if you don't deal with these officials, you can go to 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 used is also deep in Qinglu, 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 offend the officials in Beijing lightly, 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 adult's anger, the lower official also has a clear idea of protecting his life this year, except for the big case confessed in the courtyard, basically nothing has been investigated, my lord, it's not that the lower official doesn't have a tiger gut, it's really Kyoto, it's not easy, there are too many Beijing officials who often have to deal with it." ”

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 ――――――――――――――――――――――――――― Supervision Yuan, in addition to the people left behind in the suburbs of Beijing, there are a total of 310 members, except for those who are investigating the case 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 arranged 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 yīn yu smell of the secret agents of the Supervision Yuan 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 agents are not secret, the identities here are all revealed, 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, you also need a report and a warrant from the dean." 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 will let 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 and get closer, a trace of joy appeared on his face.

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

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

Most people guessed his identity, but when they heard that this world-famous Xiao Fan was going to be 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 the work not only in Beijing, but also in the courtyard.

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

"I know how you've spent your 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, glanced at his subordinates with great majesty, and said: "I summoned everyone to come today, mainly at the beginning of Lord Tisi's performance, there are some things to explain, this official is entrusted by Lord Tisi, to say a few words, the main purpose is all formulated by Lord Tisi, please 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 want to have a Supervision Yuan? Why do you want to have us? Because there are corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the imperial court who deceive His Majesty, oppress Li Min, and corrupt the law." His Majesty must be aware of the rule of the 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 that Master Mu has always been good at handling cases, when will he do this officialdom article?

“...... If we want to be clear and clear-sighted, and share worries for His Majesty, we must be in the same step, and the soldiers will be strong, and the orders will be like mountains......!

His 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 Yīn said coldly: "...... However, in the past year, there have been many problems in one place, and as the acting chief officer, of course, I have the duty to ask for punishment, but from now on, 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 imperial court, either privately or in the name of one place, and the benefits of a qiē 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 frequent 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 the ......"

"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 held accountable 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 return 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 is like this, they still did not whisper, did not refute, did not have an official like the officials in the six ministries, although their faces were a little changed, but they still stood firmly with a strong control force - the Supervision Yuan trained by Chen Pingping has always been the most ironclad secret agent team in the world in terms of foundation and essence.

After Mu Tie's speech was finished, Fan Xian stood up, put his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "If you have any opinions, say them in person 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, everyone also knows that this official is busy, and the general yamen invites me to go, but I am too lazy to go." ”

After saying this, the mood of the officials in the court relaxed a little, and it was rumored that this Lord Tisi hid 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 it really be that these yīn filthy things were done by the Supervision Yuan, and they should be said later, so they bowed down and saluted: "I respectfully obey the order 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, so he was anxious, and 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 no word to the dignified Lord Tisi! Lord Tisi, although it is said that a division supervises the position of a hundred officials in Beijing, but it is inevitable that people will come and go, and everyone will have relatives, like the lowly brother-in-law, who is currently working in the horse supervisor, if I don't interact with him often, it's okay, but I'm afraid that the wife at home will be noisy. ”

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

Fan Xian was happy in his heart, but his face was heavy, and he reprimanded in a cold voice: "You are a dog 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, regardless of 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 gone up to 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 came out of the ranks, with some appreciation, after he deliberately suppressed Mu Tie, he still dared to stand up and speak, thinking of this section, he slowed down his speech and said softly: "If you have any other opinions, put them forward together, I will not add guilt." ”

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 his speech, and quietly looked at the secret agents and officials of the Supervision Institute in the field, and waited for the atmosphere in the room to be 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, and chewed a little, it turned out to be 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?

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 state of jīng when he first stepped into the Supervision Yuan, his heart was hot, he clenched his right fist and shouted:

"One qiē for the sake of Qingguo. ”

"One qiē 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 happily, clenched his right fist lightly, and said in his heart: "One qiē for life." ”
