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 the spring. But gradually people realized that this was not the case. The officials found in this turmoil are all relatively low in rank, there are no important figures in various factions, and there are no major cases that are widely implicated.

The elders of the court, the princes' subordinates, for the sake of Fan Xian's face and Dai Gonggong's experience, did not make any drastic reactions, 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, and they also put it back in their stomachs, guessing that Fan Xian was just a new official taking office, and he was just in danger with these three fires.

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 the Fan Mansion, and the hands that used to like to hand over a silver ticket without fireworks have begun 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 place, and sent the rest to the Yan Mansion.

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.

===================================

The affairs are already on the right track, so Fan Xian did not go to the Xinfeng Pavilion recently, but sat in his study and looked at the case file in his hand. The case file was summarized by Mu Tie, although the writing is not exquisite. But the victory is that the regulations are clear.

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 Prosecution Department naturally couldn't be done, and several other small cases were also handled relatively gently.

It stands to reason that since the Supervision Yuan has investigated the case of Shu Si, I am afraid that Dai Zhen will not only lose his black gauze hat, but also his head. However, Fan Xian somewhat appreciated Dai's father-in-law's knowledge, which helped him reduce some troubles in the future, 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. After the Spring Festival, his three friends Hou Jichang, Yang Wanli, and Cheng Xilin have been released as officials, according to the letter, they have done well in all counties and roads - Prime Minister Lin has been in the court for many years, and there are naturally relationships in various counties and states, and these people are now looking at Fan Xian, and they naturally want to take more care of Fan Xian's three "proud protégés".

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 left for Northern Qi, he left a letter for him and asked him to wait for his return. Unexpectedly, after Lord Fan came back, he immediately accepted the affairs of the Supervision Yuan. Shi Xianli really didn't know what he could do for the sect master, thinking that his friends thought he was a pastor, but he could only sit in the study and copy some case files, even if his temperament was extremely unkind, he couldn't help but be a little gloomy.

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

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

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 the question in his heart a long time ago, and began to question why he secretly released the recidivist. Only this Shi Yanli is not in a hurry or impatient, but he will not be boring in his words, and his decision to let him stay by his side does not seem to be a wrong choice.

"Don't call the teacher. He said, "I'd rather you call me my lord, not because the official position is too strong, but 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 Yanli 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 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 for the Supervisory Yuan. Fan Xian explained: "You also know that the Supervision Yuan is His Majesty's private institution, not a public instrument in the true sense, but a private instrument of the Holy One. We have only one object of allegiance, so whether from the perspective of the palace or from the perspective of the Inspectorate itself, we must play a role of offending people...... And one is deep in Beijing, stumbling up by the prosperity of Kyoto, and has completely lost the original intention of His Majesty, not strong enough, not ruthless enough. His Majesty asked me to take care of one place, naturally because I wanted to return to the original role of daring to offend people. ”

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

Fan Xian nodded: "Impartiality and non-party, Your Majesty will become the second Chen Pingping to me, just ......" His tone changed, and he 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 being investigated, although the past tradition has been restored and people have begun to be arrested at night, but the adults have always refused to hide the news, but anyone who inquired about it will be told the truth...... The student is disagreeing. ”

Fan Xian asked with interest, "Why?"

After a moment of consideration, Shi Yanli said: "The Supervision Yuan is His Majesty's secret service, and the reason why it can deter hundreds of officials, in addition to the privileges set by Qing Law, is to a greater extent because of its mystery and ...... Dark feeling. People in the world are ignorant, and the more they don't understand something, the more they will be afraid. Adults now deliberately put their actions on the table, just afraid that this feeling will be weakened. Let the government and the opposition 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 only supervising one place, not the whole yard. One is in Kyoto, except for those spies who are stationed in the palace, there is no way to hide everything. There are many officials in Kyoto, and there are inextricable links between them...... 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 just want the results of the investigation to be presented in a bright light, and I don't want the process to be the same, and I can accept any kind of shady means used in the middle...... 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 on, 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 will be 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 beginning of the student's errand in the Supervision Yuan?"

Fan Xian sighed, knowing that the scholars in this world were still unwilling to enter the shameless secret service after all, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "You are my personal secretary, I will talk to my father, temporarily hang in the household department, and talk about it another day." Don't worry, no one will point at your back and say you're the evil dog of the Inspectorate. ”

==================================

Walking into the amazingly large 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, to curb the corruption of officialdom a little, and 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 clashes with the filth accumulated by the Supervision Yuan for 20 years will always cause some damage to his reputation, so he wants to make a place brighter. Because a good reputation will do you a lot of help in the future.

Thinking of the sentence about darkness and light, I can't help but think of the sentence when I chatted with Haitang 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 he didn't know if Haitang could arrange the matter he explained - Uncle Wuzhu was still missing, and Kuhe had no news of returning to Beijing.

In the courtyard in the distance, there were several girls gossiping. It's a sunny day today, and the grasshoppers after the autumn are jumping in the grass for their lives, and the intellectuals on the trees are also desperately calling in the last days of the cicadas' lives, covering up the voices of the women. Dabao was catching ants on the courtyard wall, and Fan Sizhe didn't go to clan school, but he wasn't 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 consciously did Fan Xian a big favor, and she has been coming to the house to play these days, unceremoniously. When he found out that Ye Ling'er was sitting next to the shyly Lord Roujia, his heart was even more bitter. The twelve-year-old girl became thirteen...... 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 Lori 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.

=================================

When he 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 got rid of the house.

The color of the bamboo tubes is very similar, and they may all be produced at the foot of Shangyan Mountain on the edge of Shangjing. The fire paint used for the seal is also very similar, it is all complete, and it should not have been touched. It's just a secret mark on the bamboo, so that the secret agents of the Supervision Yuan who are responsible for transmitting information know that these two extremely secret letters belong to two independent routes in the northern system.

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

One letter was sent by the manager, and one letter was sent by Begonia. In order to facilitate communication with Haitang, Fan Xian set up a communication line for her.

The manager did not send any information worth paying attention to, although she had converted to Tianyi according to Fan Xian and Haitang's plan, but the efforts to enter the palace did not yield results for the time being. In Shangjing, Shen Chong's family was ruined, and in addition to hitting the forces of the Houdang Party hard, it did not cause much repercussions. Uesugi Tiger has also been confined at home, but at the end of the letter, it was said that Kuhe, the national teacher of the Northern Qi Dynasty, had returned to Shangjing and had been in retreat. Although no one dared to suspect anything, Si Lili 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 about the great grandmaster - he and Haitang had an interconnected relationship, so naturally he didn't expect her to say anything, but he just cared about whether the auspicious thing was properly arranged.

After thinking about it, he began to write a reply, urging Begonia to fulfill the agreement at that time. For Haitang, this matter is just a convenient thing, 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 at all on the character of the son, and whether there is a conflict between the ZZ positions of the two sides. For Fan Xian, the most important thing is only one point.

Does my sister like it or not?

Ruoruo has already expressed his attitude and doesn't like it-although Fan Xian, like all his brothers, has some incomprehensible anger towards adolescent girls, thinking that you won't marry? But more of it is a protective desire from the bones. Since his sister doesn't like it, he has to start breaking this marriage, which 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 good emperor a benefit temptation that even a good emperor can't ignore, and temporarily let Ruoruo stay away from Kyoto.

The former technique, I don't know how much movement it will make, and the latter technique is too ethereal, 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.
