Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Whetstone with Autonomous Consciousness
The reason why Fan Xian didn't kill Hu Jinlin is very simple, Bingfang has always been jointly managed by the Inner Treasury and the Three Divisions of the Supervision Yuan, which is responsible for the research of ordnance ships, and the Third Division of the Supervision Yuan was originally Fan Xian's fellow brother and knows the situation of Bingfang best. Hu Jinlin is a person who is obsessed with studying the drawings left by the hostess of the Ye family back then, and he is dull, although he is also greedy for a lot of silver taels, but he has not committed such things as Batian bullying women, and compared to the main affairs of the second fang, there is indeed a reason not to kill.
Of course, the most critical reason is that Fan Xian doesn't want to kill, which shows from one side that someone is not a Ming official and a Qing minister.
At the beginning of the strike, everyone was secretly worried in their hearts, but there was always some confidence, it was not the first time that the treasurers had sung against the officials of the Imperial Transit Department, and in the past, as long as they did not ask too much, the matter would always be resolved peacefully - in their opinion, they just wanted to keep the money they had deducted over the years, which was a very reasonable request.
But everyone didn't expect that the new Lord Qincha was so ruthless, and after pointing out the essence of the inner library and inviting out the four old Ye family shopkeepers, the treasurers knew that all their hole cards had lost any utility in front of this young official.
At this time, the treasurers were just a group of chickens to be slaughtered, just to see how many Fan Xian wanted to slaughter.
Not much, with Su Wenmao's roll call and statement of guilt, three more treasurers were pulled out of the crowd. These three treasurers have done a lot of evil, and they have secretly colluded with the officials in Suzhou Prefecture, and they don't know how many Qing laws have been touched in the things they handled, and it is not too much to kill them sixteen or seventeen times.
Fan Xian took the file in Su Wenmao's hand, glanced at a treasurer in front of him who was wet with his pants and couldn't stand steadily, frowned and said, "It's you who married a concubine in the twelveth room?"
The treasurer didn't even have the strength to nod his head, and he was terrified.
Fan Xian shook his head and said sarcastically: "Marrying a twelve-room concubine can only show that you are rich, and the confidence in the first room of the husband and wife is very strong, but nine of the twelve-room concubines are robbed, this is a very bastard, robbing people's wives, and killing their husbands?...... It's a bit more arrogant than the most famous school in Kyoto. β
The other two treasurers, although they did not commit such a peachy thing, also had their own reasons for deserving of death.
Fan Xian waved his hand.
The officials of the Supervision Yuan dragged the three treasurers out, and with three knife shots, three screams, and three lives were reimbursed.
............ The officials of the Supervision Yuan can do it, including the sergeants on the edge of the workshop, but the officials of the Inner Treasury Transfer Department can already stand it, and their backs are wet with sweat, and some people smell the smell of blood in the outside of the workshop, and they vomit.
The deputy envoy Ma Kai was quite calm, but the sweat on his face began to flow desperately, and he pitifully leaned into Fan Xian's ear and said: "My lord, in a few days, the library will open the door for bidding, and it is ominous to kill people, and it is ominous ......to kill people."
Naturally, there is no way to save the people who are killed, but Ma Kai is afraid that Fan Xian will be fierce and continue to kill.
Fan Xian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lord Ma, six years ago, my Yue ...... Her Royal Highness the eldest princess went to the inner treasury for the last time and killed how many treasurers?"
He stretched out his thumb and tail finger and said, "Six, this official is a junior, naturally he won't kill more, he has already killed five, it's enough." β
As soon as he heard enough of these two words, the officials behind him couldn't help but feel relieved, and the treasurers in front of him were overjoyed, but no matter who they were, their legs were a little weak because they were frightened by these five bloody human heads. Only Su Wenmao was slightly stunned, then suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and did not say anything.
Deputy envoy Ma Kai frowned, thinking that there was something in Lord Qincha's words, the eldest princess killed six, and he only killed five...... If there is a problem in this matter, the imperial historians will play him in vain and kill people indiscriminately, it seems that there is also a head, so it seems that although this Lord Qincha is not very old, his mind is meticulous and ruthless, and his cousin Ren Shao'an has worked hard to build the road for himself, but he can't miss it like this.
After thinking about this matter, for Fan Xian's next few appointments and measures, the deputy envoy Ma Kaizheng responded without any shirk and resistance, although some officials of the Inner Treasury Transfer Department were displeased, but the deputy envoy made a charter, so naturally he could not object.
In Fan Xian's plan, the head of the three major squares died and the prisoners were imprisoned, and the three most critical positions were vacated, and the three old shopkeepers of the Ye family deigned to take temporary photos, and the two "inner treasurers" who reported the crimes of their colleagues to the Supervision Yuan served as deputies, which can be regarded as making up for the shortcomings of the old shopkeepers who have not returned for 20 years and are slightly unfamiliar with the inner treasury.
Killing people in the front, Ming inserted jiΔn in detail, so that after arranging it, the entire team of treasurers will be stable, and those "inner treasurers" will just have to prevent the treasurers below from being resentful, deliberately picking on their mistakes, of course, they must be extra careful when doing things, and once the team is standing, these deputy directors will be extremely fierce, staring at the subordinate treasurers, and the two are opposed-those things that Fan Xian does not want to see must gradually become less.
"Three rì orders, there is still half a day. Fan Xian said: "Those who are not dead, spit out the silver, give me the account clearly, and write a note by yourself if you have committed those things...... Don't look at me, I know you are all literate, go back, some people should stay in the workshop is still hundreds of miles away, don't hurry home to raise money, and then go back to the workshop to start work, are you still going to continue to be here as a clay figurine?"
The voice at the end of the sentence gradually became cold, and after saying this, he walked outside the large workshop under the frightened eyes of the treasurers.
The sergeants led by General Ye Shen gradually dispersed, the officials of the Supervision Yuan returned to their places, and the nails planted in the workshop everywhere still did not know who it was, and the officials were talking in whispers, not knowing what they were talking about. The workers watched a great show, and the treasurers became very honest and frightened after being taught a lesson by blood and fire.
The heavy rain outside the workshop gradually stopped, and a lively internal library strike ended so absurdly and nonsense under Fan Xian's knife and the old faces of the shopkeepers.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββ the treasurer and the officials' withdrawal of the bank was very smooth, and after Fan Xian reviewed them one by one, he also raised his noble hand slightly, as long as he was not a person who concealed it too much, he left a little silver face for the other party, and did not squeeze everyone's family property clean. Being an official is just for money, if all the officials are cleaned, the officials in the inner treasury can't do it on the surface, but there must be a huge pimple in their hearts, and they will naturally be lazy when they start doing things.
But it's just like this with all five fingers open to pull the silver, and the government still retracted a huge amount of silver taels, even if Fan Xian's family is rich, he has seen a lot of scenes in this life, but looking at the number on the account, he still gasped in shock!
He had some faint regret in his heart, this matter was so vigorous that it was impossible to hide it from the side of Kyoto, and under the attention of the world, in addition to the wages owed to the workers over the years, the rest of the cleared silver had to be put into a special account in the inner treasury, and he could not transfer it privately at all.
If he had known that the treasurers were the fattest corrupt officials in the world, Fan Xian might not have carried out such a treasury clearance operation, but would have directly asked the swordsmen of the six departments of the Supervision Yuan to be thieves, except for things like land deeds, and snatched the rest of the silver tickets into his own private hands.
If he can have this large sum of silver, he will no longer need the help of the north, avoid some new troubles in the process, and more importantly, he can also keep his father out of the matter, so as not to be implicated in the bidding after rì.
Speaking of Haitang, after that rΓ¬ worker chΓ‘o, Fan Xian returned to the mansion and complained bitterly to this girl, justice was awe-inspiring, and analyzed the current situation in detail, jΗng told the other party, Emperor Qingguo is only afraid that he already knows that the two of them are now in the same place, if you still dare to peep in the workshops in front of the tiger guard, you are only afraid that you will not be able to sit in the position of the inner library for two days, and you can't stay in the inner library, how much more silver do you have to pay in Northern Qi a year?
Haitang was a little innocent, thinking that he was just idle, so he wanted to go shopping, how could he get some tricks.
Fan Xian was a little suspicious, and on the surface he didn't mention it anymore, but he was still a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Fortunately, the affairs of the inner library are gradually on the right track, and this process only takes a few days, I can't help but say that the cold and murderous side of Fan Xian in that work chΓ‘o has deeply deterred everyone, and the old shopkeeper's re-emergence and Fan Xian's ingenious arrangement have played a great role.
The workers regained their wages for years of work, the occupied girls returned to their homes, and an atmosphere called joy rose throughout the inner storehouse.
In the midst of joy, there are also some incongruous notes. Although Fan Xian's mind is extremely delicate, he has already guessed a few, and used the power of the government to oppress the occurrence of those bitter stories in advance, but the stories of the people of Qingguo themselves are always short and extremely complicated, and the people look at those women unpleasantly, and the partial women are used to living happily with the little treasurer, and once the situation changes, they are also a little uncomfortable.
The treasurers are not midnight demons, so there are not many such things as forcibly marrying concubines, but although there are not many things, involving men and women, they have caused a very bad impact on the people.
However, these are only small episodes, and on a large level, the authority of the new envoy of the Inner Treasury Transit Department, Qin Cha Fan Xian, has been established, and in the hearts of tens of thousands of low-level workers in the Inner Treasury, the image of uprightness, honesty and wisdom has been firmly cast. Now that he no longer needs the help of the eight places, from the famous and famous military officials, Fan Xian has long been familiar with such techniques.
The inner library gradually calmed down.
It's just that the work is over, but Fan Xian's plan has just begun, fighting snakes and startling snakes, and now half of the two-headed snake has been killed by him, and the other head is injured, of course, he has to start moving.
"Is there any news about Ziyue?" Fan Xian sat on the chair, squinted at the newspaper that came today, and asked casually.
Su Wenmao responded: "Not so fast, according to your orders, even if those Xinyang officials hand over the news, it will take at least a month to come and go like this." β
Fan Xian sighed: "The imperial historians in the court are too slow to do things. β
Su Wenmao smiled bitterly, thinking that there is no such thing as Lord Tisi in the world, waiting for the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate to participate in his ruthlessness, that is, your background is strong enough to sit like a mountain.
"Can't wait, I'll arrest those people tomorrow. Fan Xian said.
The object of this remark is, of course, the cronies and officials of Xinyang who stayed in the inner treasury, these officials secretly provoked the treasurers' feelings at the beginning of the three rì orders, and instigated everyone to oppose Fan Xian, and after Fan Xian used bloody methods, these officials were more happy as if they had eaten dates, and they thought of sending the song out overnight, without asking, of course, to report to the officials of the eldest princess faction in Kyoto.
Fan Xian let the treasurers connect in three days, and finally formed a strike to force the palace, in order to make the pus in the inner library fuller, to see who is playing ghosts, before and after, the secret agents of the Supervision Yuan are very jΗng watching the many officials in the transfer department, these people have no way to escape from the net laid by Fan Xian.
"Let's do it. Fan Xian smiled bitterly and said, "We all have to leave, we can't leave them here to eat porridge anymore." β
Su Wenmao replied, and asked suspiciously: "My lord, why didn't you cover the wind more tightly at the beginning?" After all, this time the work was made, and the Kyoto court discussed it, if Xinyang did something more, I am afraid that the adult's rΓ¬ will not ...... It's so good. β
Fan Xian was silent, his fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of the chair, which was a very common expression when he thought about the problem, and after thinking about it for a while, he decided to explain more to his henchmen, and looked up and explained: " The inner library is divided into two pieces, the workshop is the foundation, and the export merchants are hands and feet, I want to break people's hands and feet, naturally I must first lay the foundation, and I have never been used to planning a situation that takes too long, so I will choose to force these people in the inner library to overreact first, so that I can be heavy-handed, and also find an excuse to drive out the officials in Xinyang. β
Su Wenmao nodded, but thought that this could not explain his previous question, but he just looked at Lord Tisi's expression and knew that the adult had his own measure, so he listened patiently.
"I'm going to force the enemies of Necuri to do it. Fan Xian smiled and said: "Why isn't the eldest princess waiting for me to force her? With her eyes in the palace of the court, how could she not know that the old shopkeepers followed me to Jiangnan? And she has not told the officials in the inner curry about this matter, obviously because she doesn't want those officials to dare to ...... Stand up bravely. Just imagine, if everyone knew that the old shopkeeper was with us, where would this work happen. β
"Naturally, it doesn't happen. Su Wenmao frowned and said: "If you know that the old gentlemen of Qingyutang are with you, those treasurer hole cards are lost, where do you dare to stand up and say irresponsible things." But here's the problem...... Why does the eldest princess ...... Will she hide this news and wait for the officials of the inner treasury to secretly connect with her, thus giving the lord a good opportunity to stand up for his authority? If she explained it clearly in advance, the treasurers would definitely be much more honest, and those officials in Xinyang would also calm down and not let us grasp the reason. β
Fan Xian shook his head and sighed, "Her Royal Highness the eldest princess stands much taller than ordinary people...... Yes, this time she seemed to have given me a chance to stand on my feet, and even intimidated the officials of Neku...... However, in the means of dealing with this matter, I have to rely more on the personnel and strength of the old Ye family, I have to kill people and establish authority, and the means will be more violent and unscrupulous. β
He went on to explain: "When I first entered the inner treasury, I killed five treasurers and sent them to Kyoto, and the imperial court must have no good opinion of me, and as for using the old treasurer to take charge of the inner treasury, it will touch the taboo of some people in the palace. The eldest princess covered the pot of porridge, and when it finally boiled, it seemed to let me eat it in my mouth, but in fact it was the thought of burning my mouth. β
Su Wenmao said worriedly: "It's also true, when the matter of the rΓ¬ disposal of the worker chΓ‘o, there seems to be some taboo in the adult's speech. β
Fan Xian smiled and didn't say anything.
Su Wenmao's face was full of solemnity: "After the news of these things back to Kyoto, no matter what, the court will reprimand the adults, and at the very least, it is also a reckless and sloppy act, and it is unbearable to ......."
He stopped, but Fan Xian smiled and continued: "It's useless, to say that it's too much, you can also secretly play that I have different ambitions, and I still remember how the Ye family went to rΓ¬, how it is." β
Su Wenmao was stunned for a moment, and immediately figured out what Fan Tisi was most taboo in his life, and couldn't help but gasp, only then did he finally feel the means of the eldest princess, the other party didn't do anything, but secretly helped Fan Xian hide the news that the old shopkeepers were going south, so that he could put the adults on an extremely dangerous crater.
"Your Excellency knows what he wants...... The old shopkeepers should have been brought out as soon as possible, and they should have acted cautiously. He had the courage to admonish Fan Xian.
Fan Xian shook his head and said, "The eldest princess has calculated that I must let the conflict intensify in order to close the inner library as much as possible." As for the aftermath in the future, I can't take care of it at the moment, so at this point, even if she looks at Kyoto with a cold eye, I have to do it. β
He sneered and said, "As for those henchmen and officials in Neku, I will dig them out because of this...... Presumably she also knew that with the help of the Supervision Yuan, these people would not be able to play the slightest role in the next few years, but would bring her some unwanted troubles, since she was already a useless person, how could she care about the other party's life or death? It was just a few abandoned children, and she would just give me some trouble before she died. Since no matter how much you do, it is impossible to prevent my full takeover, and the eldest princess is certainly willing to see that my takeover will cause some trouble, and bring me some hidden worries about the future. β
The so-called hidden worry in this statement is naturally the perception of Fan Xian by the nobles in the palace, and there may be some subtle changes because of the affairs of the inner library. The cold-blooded side shown by Fan Xian in handling the affairs of the inner treasury, I don't know if it will touch the sensitive nerve of the Queen Mother, and whether it will make the Queen and the Prince of the East Palace think of the Ye family back then.
And this kind of thing is like a poisonous snake that eats people's souls, before Fan Xian has enough ability to deal with them, maybe they will be jΗng up, the queen mother, the eldest princess, the queen of the harem women, the prince and the second prince, the pair of happy enemies, if they unite again because of Fan Xian's existence, if the emperor will have some kind of suspicion about Fan Xian.
The eldest princess should laugh, and Fan Xian should cry.
And in the matter of the inner library, the so-called shopkeeper is in hand, and I have it in the world, and the eldest princess must accept this fact, so she just wants to get some benefits from it.
"What's next?"
Fan Xian lowered his head and said lightly: "It's nothing, according to the words of the dean, the eldest princess's vision is still limited to the first palace, if the Metropolitan Procuratorate really participates in me this time, she is only afraid that she will suffer a loss." β
Su Wenmao looked at him incomprehensibly.
Fan Xian raised his head, and a confident smile appeared on his face: "Since Your Majesty gave me the old shopkeeper, it means that in a short period of time, he believes in my loyalty." I went down to the south of the Yangtze River to pick up the inner library, the loss of the eldest princess's face, if the eldest princess remained silent at this time, then it would be fine, if I cleaned up the inner library a little inappropriate, the Kyoto court officials would attack it in groups, Your Majesty xiΓ ...... I can't help but be a little suspicious, as for the problem of the old Ye family, it won't affect me too much. β
"I want Neku's pot of porridge to be cooked quickly, the eldest princess likes me to use a fierce fire, but I am ...... I hope she'll secretly help me with the fire. Fan Xian smiled and said: "Although I acted presumptuously in the inner library, there is a lot of doubt, but I did not deliberately cover it up, Your Majesty naturally believes in my sincerity, and although the eldest princess is coldly watching, she is clever and good, this is the so-called insincerity." β
He finally explained: "Any scheming, in the final stage, is just to look at His Majesty's mood and intimacy, and I, for example, have always been honest with His Majesty. β
I don't know if this sentence is convincing Su Wenmao or deceiving himself, but in this battle, Fan Xian knows that his son-in-law must win, and as a son, he must also win.
After the emperor set up the enemy of the second prince for the crown prince, he has now successfully established Fan Xian as the most powerful whetstone.
The eldest princess just saw the pressure brought by Fan Xian's sitting big to the two princes and the queen mother in the palace, but she didn't see it clearly, this pressure itself was secretly cultivated by Emperor Qingguo, this is what Fan Xian said through Chen Pingping's mouth before: The eldest princess's vision is still limited.
It's not the limitations of history, but the limitations of the buttocks, after all, she is not a king sitting on the dragon chair and looking at the world.
