Jian Yi faced Wu Zhizhan's rash visit, although he felt a little strange.

But after all, he has experienced strong winds and waves, and he is still calm and calm.

When Wu Zhizhan arrived in front of Jian Yi, he showed some respect: "Jian Gong, look at this." ”

As he spoke, he took out the Danshu Iron Coupon from his sleeve.

Jian Yi stepped forward, but he didn't take the iron coupon, but frowned and said, "Who's?" ”

He is a secretary of the ministry, and of course he knows very well what this thing is.

There will be no more than a hundred things like this.

Ordinary people may not even have seen it.

Wu Zhizhan said: "Yao Guangxiao." ”

Jian Yi's body shook slightly, but he still pretended to be slow, took a sip of tea slowly, and said, "How can you have this?" ”

Wu Zhizhan said: "Today...... Searched from a monk. ”

Jian Yi's face gradually became ugly: "Monk? What does it look like? ”

"Thin, white beard, sparse eyebrows, long nose, and a dark mark on the neck."

"It's him." Jian Yi frowned and said, "Yao Gong is here, why don't you invite him?" ”

"He must be dead."

Jianyi: "......"

Wu Zhizhan said: "The doctor has been called, but ...... In fact, it doesn't matter if you die or not. ”

Jian Yi already sensed that something was wrong, and he began to become uneasy, his expression uncertain, and his face was even more gloomy and uncertain.

He stared at Wu Zhizhan: "What do you mean?" ”

"When he was found, he was a conscripted doctor, and he had been hungry for two days, with multiple bruises on his body."

Jian Yi was furious: "How is it possible, who recruited him to be a doctor?" ”

"Not to take it, but to ...... On the yellow book, his name is not Yao Guangxiao, but Zhang Ye, twenty-seven years old, and he is indeed among the doctors. ”

When Jian Yi heard this, he understood everything, and said with his eyes wide open: "Which county did it?" ”

Wu Zhizhan pointed to the book on the eucalyptus: "Didn't this person already see his ink treasure and send it to Gong Jian?" ”

Standing aside and catching up, Wu Huan, who was originally displeased, heard this, and his face changed suddenly.

No one knows what is going on better than him.

His face was cloudy, and he felt two tremors, and he almost sat down.

Who would have thought that the damn county order would recruit such a person.

This is His Majesty's henchman, the prime minister in black!

Jian Yi said: "Find a way...... Let's find a way to save people first. ”

"Gong Jian ......" Wu Huan said with a sad face: "At this time...... Save it or not, what difference does it make? ”

Wu Huan became excited: "Not to mention that at his age, he should have died, even if he is still alive, it is more tricky than dying." ”

Wu Zhizhan muttered: "Dead, alive, it's all tricky, it's over, hey, it's going to be over." ”

Jian Yi only felt that his blood was surging, and his brain was buzzing.

He suddenly said, "That's how you recruit doctors?" ”

He pointed at Wu Huan: "How dare you do this?" ”

Wu Huan said: "Enfu, it's always been recruited, isn't it all like this?" ”

This rhetorical question actually choked Jian Yi half to death at once.

It has always been like this, as if the imperial court has some laws and regulations that give preferential treatment to scholars and gentry for money and grain, but it does not allow you to be exempt from taxes infinitely, but only for the scale of tens and hundreds of acres, and the excess part still has to be paid according to the rules.

But in reality?

The same is true of conscription and Latina. Wealthy households also have to contribute manpower, but after apportionment, it is often impossible for rich households to contribute money.

Wu Zhizhan also said confidently: "Gong Jian, there is a difficulty in the lower head, it has always been the easiest to recruit conscription, but it is the most difficult to recruit medical households, medical households read a lot, can read and break words, and this plague ...... Who would dare to go if they really want to die? And they are local, more or less, there are always some connections, and they really want to be forcibly recruited, and something will happen. ”

Jian Yi is just jaw-dropping.

At this time, in fact, he didn't have the heart to care about these things.

It's just a miserable face.

Wu Huan also said: "It's difficult, it's too difficult!" These medical households also enthusiastically donated a lot of money and grain, and they alone donated more than 700 stone of grain. ”

Jian Yi's face turned blue and said, "You are trying to kill the old man." ”

Jian Yi only felt that the sky was about to fall at this time, his eyes were dark, he couldn't imagine, how did a good thing become like this?

Jian Yi remembered something, and said suddenly: "Even so, why ...... Will Master Yao be hungry for two days? ”

Wu Huan and Wu Zhizhan glanced at each other, and the two of them, who had just turned against each other, seemed to have a tacit understanding again.

Wu Zhizhan said: "What is recorded in the eucalyptus is...... They ate and drank enough last night, each of them had a pound of rice, and meat, and the officials...... I also find it strange. ”

Jian Yi suddenly understood something again, and said, "Recorded in Eucalyptus? Greedy for ink again? ”

Wu Zhizhan said: "The servants are also working hard, and they ...... on weekdays."

He would have liked to explain.

But after thinking about it, there was really no need to explain anything for the errand officers of the neighboring counties.

What he wanted to say was that the errand servants did not give money and food, and the vast majority of people were officials for generations, even if the government occasionally gave some rice and grain, they would never be able to feed the family.

In a county, there are only seven or eight people who really have money, and these seven or eight people are the officials who are serious.

If these servants do not rely on this, what will they eat?

Jian Yi took a deep breath, only to feel the cold all over his body, and said faintly: "No wonder...... No wonder His Majesty wants to issue an order to let Jin Chun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, come here, no wonder ......"

Wu Zhizhan said: "Gong Jian, think of a way." ”

Jian Yi shook his head: "What you have done yourself, how can you do it...... Ha ha...... What else can be done! ”

At this time, Jian Yi only felt as if the sky was about to fall.

Yes, at this time, Jian Yi is already tired.

Wu Zhizhan stopped talking.

However, Wu Huan was in a hurry, and said: "Enfu, the famous ...... of the famous religion"

Jian Yi said: "What kind of famous religion, what are you still hiding?" ”

Wu Huan said: "Up and down for the sake of Dazhi Ningguofu, where did you hide it?" Enfu ......"

Jian Yi opened his eyes wide, glared at him and said, "Save Master Yao first, no matter what, use any means." ”

Wu Huan raised his head and glanced at Jian Yi in surprise, and sighed: "Enfu, the top priority is still ......"

"Shut up." Jian Yi flicked his sleeves and said: "What else do you say now?" Also, immediately send someone to take down the damn county order Liu Wenxin quickly. The county's county governor, chief bookkeeper, and county lieutenant are all temporarily detained and awaiting disposal. Prepare a sedan chair for the old man, and the old man will go to the doctors to have a look. ”

"Enfu ......"

Jian Yi closed his eyes tiredly, and sighed: "At this point today, where is there any grace? The old man is not worthy of being your favor, and the old man is not even a human being. ”

As soon as he said that, he was about to leave, but he only felt dizzy, touched his forehead, and staggered.

Wu Huan and the others rushed forward and supported Jian Yi: "Enfu has a good rest first, if there is anything, rest first." ”

After that, he carried Jian Yi to the bedroom of the house.

Jian Yi's eyes suddenly reddened, his lips trembled, and he muttered: "How can it come to this point, how can it come to this point......

He looked at Wu Huan painfully.

Other friends and officials of the mansion, such as the same acquaintance, the pusher, and the Zhaoma, also came, and they probably knew what was going on, and they were all worried in their hearts, so they persuaded bitterly at this time: "Gong Jian, you should take a break." ”

finally coaxed Jianyi, and everyone left the house in despair.

Now this up and down has long become an ant on a hot pot.

"Damn Liu Wenxin." Everyone scolded Liu Wenxin: "He is so good that he can't die, why do you want to recruit Master Yao as a doctor?" ”

"Could it be a mistake?"

"It's not wrong, the iron coupon, Jian Gong has seen it, and he hasn't found anything abnormal."

Tongzhi Fan Yi pondered for a moment and said, "Jin Chun, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, is about to come to Ning Guofu with the three divisions to investigate Master Yao's whereabouts, what should I do?" ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Wu Huan said: "If the matter is revealed, won't the Enfu be in trouble?" Enfu is here, we still have a future, if Enfu suffers, we will be implicated. ”

"I heard that Jin Butang is a former official of the Emperor......"

"But it's too big."

"Hold on to it first and find a way to deal with it."

"Those doctors...... What's going on? And the errands...... There may be quite a few people who know about this now. ”

At this point, there was a sudden silence among the people.

After half a ring, Fan Yimeng's eyes widened: "These people ...... Don't stay! ”

Everyone was gossiping, looking a little flustered, and everyone was at a loss.

After all, this matter is too big, and it has already made their usual temperament disappear.

But when everyone heard that these people could not stay, everyone shuddered.

But it seemed that there was a tacit understanding, and everyone began to keep silent, and everyone was silent.

Fan Yi glanced at Wu Huan meaningfully: "County Lieutenant Liu is still in the mansion, this is what they provoked, let them take care of it themselves, you go and tell him, we are not a big crime, at most it is just a crime of negligence, but if they investigate it, hehe......"

Wu Huan understood and nodded.

At this time, everyone was silent, and at this time, they could only pretend to be deaf and dumb.

Wu Huan said suddenly: "Everyone, there are some things that are also a last resort, Gong Jian is as kind to us as a mountain, and we must not ...... Teach him to fall into the land of infidelity and injustice. What's more, the famous religion is in danger, at this moment, we are all saints, how can we ignore it, and hope that the big guys can think of the common people and the famous religion......"

Everyone arched their hands: "That's right." ”

Everyone was in shock, but finally agreed.

Meanwhile.

Jin Chun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the personnel of the three divisions brought by him, were mighty, and they had left the capital in a blink of an eye.

This time the momentum was huge.

There is a criminal department of Shangshu leading, so in addition to hundreds of fast officials, there are also officials of the criminal department, plus the right capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple Shaoqing, they show that they are resolute, so they dare not take a sedan chair, and they all ride horses.

It's a pity that horseback riding is just a show, because the officials have never ridden horses on weekdays, so this way is not as fast as taking a sedan chair and a car.

There was no way, Jin Chun had no choice but to let a fast official take the lead, and he led the people behind the palace.

Seeing that Ning Guofu was in front of them, everyone was really tired, mainly because the horse was always disobedient, as if he was competing, and he always refused to obey the control.

Especially Zhu Xing, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, because of his age, he was out of breath when he sat on the horse, his bones were about to fall apart, and his face was extremely bad.

I finally arrived at the post station, only to know that I had walked more than ten miles in one day.

But I couldn't help it, I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to rest.

And just entered the station.

The local postmen have not yet come out to greet them.

But there is already one waiting.

"Xiaguan Wu Zhizhan has seen Jin Butang."

Wu Zhizhan knelt down with a solemn expression.

He did not wear a winged hat or official uniform, but a scarf and a Confucian shirt.

Looking at his dusty appearance, he looked tired, as if he had not rested all the way.

What Jin Chun hates the most is that he goes out on business, and local officials come here to join in the fun.

You are the secretary of the Criminal Department, who wants to get acquainted with your district and county order, county lieutenant, and chief bookkeeper?

At the moment, he only exchanged glances with Zhu Xing, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple on the side, and Deng Kang, the imperial history of the right capital. On their faces, there was still a smile, but in the depths of their smiling eyes, they couldn't help but have a little sarcasm.

Jin Chun said with a surging expression: "You are ......"

"The official Xuancheng County Order."

"Xuancheng?" Jin Chun raised his eyebrows and said: "We should be far away from Xuancheng, since you are the commander of Xuancheng County, you have the responsibility to defend the land, how can you be so good, but you came here?" ”

Wu Zhizhan glanced up at Jin Chun, of course he knew that the other party should think that he was taking advantage of this to stammer.

Wu Zhizhan said with a tired face: "The lower officials came to cast eucalyptus." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked.

Jin Chun looked left and right, and with his years of experience, he immediately understood that there was something strange about this.

So he didn't hesitate to say to the guards he brought: "Here is the post station, strengthen the guard, tell the local post keepers, let them boil some hot water, prepare meals, and prepare a few rooms." But for half an hour, you must not come to disturb. ”

Then he looked at Wu Zhizhan with a solemn face and said, "Come with me." ”

After a cup of tea, everything is arranged.

Entered an upper room.

In this small hall, Jin Chun sits in the center, and on the left and right are Deng Kang, the right capital of Yushi, and Zhu Xing, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

Raising the teacup, Jin Chun didn't drink it, but said, "Say it." ”

Wu Zhizhan only sat on a small stool, but said: "Don't dare to say, please Jinbutang take me to face the saint and confess his guilt." ”

Jin Chun raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Why don't you dare to say it? ”

"It's too big, I'm afraid of leaking the news."

Jin Chun sneered: "Can't I believe it?" ”

"I can't believe it." Wu Zhizhan said.

He's unequivocal.

But all of a sudden, Jin Chun's faces were gloomy.

They didn't hate Wu Zhizhan at this time.

But with their years of experience in the ups and downs of the sea, they know a county order, and if they say this, then ...... There must be a big insider.

Even......

Jin Chun's eyes fluttered, obscure, and he was more aware of ...... It should be the person Wu Zhizhan wants to report and sue, he must be extraordinary, so that even the three of them can't believe it.

Coupled with his identity as the Xuancheng County Order, the person he wants to report is actually ready to come out.

Jin Chun frowned, and looked at him expressionlessly from behind and said, "Is it okay?" ”

Wu Zhizhan said to him left and right: "It's about Master Yao." ”

Jin Chun was stunned at first, and then suddenly said: "Where is he?" ”

"Must face the saint." Wu Zhizhan said persistently: "Otherwise, the death of the criminal official can't be said, other than that...... Before Xia Guan left, he had repaired a few letters to his close relatives and some cronies, and once Xia Guan had something to do, they would try their best to go to Beijing and return the truth to the world. ”

Wu Zhizhan knows this circle, and he has made all the preparations.

Jin Chun also understood, and frowned: "Who do you think the officials and others will cover?" ”

Wu Zhizhan only said: "Don't dare." ”

Jin Chun looked at him fixedly and said, "Our duty is to find out Master Yao's whereabouts. ”

Wu Zhizhan said: "After facing the saint, everything can be settled, and the matter is urgent, please make a decision as soon as possible." ”

Jin Chun sneered: "Hmph, don't you say it, we went to Ningguo Mansion, and the truth is self-evident." ”

Wu Zhizhan said lightly: "The lower officials advise the princes, it's better not to go to Ningguo Mansion." ”

Jin Chun frowned and said, "Why?" ”

"The plague in Ningguofu is gradually born, and the princes are old, so they are afraid of ......"

As soon as these words came out, the three of them all shook their spirits in unison.

At this moment, they didn't need to say much, they already had a premonition that something big was going to happen.

As for the bubonic plague that talked about the tiger's discoloration, when they were in the capital, in fact, everyone had gradually taken off their guards, and there was nothing to worry about.

But I never expected that Ning Guofu would ......

This is under the rule of Jian Gong.

In fact...... Even if Wu Zhizhan didn't reveal any details, in fact, in their hearts, they had gradually understood the cause and effect of the matter.

Jin Chun, Deng Kang and the others silently exchanged glances.

Deng Kang said: "The matter is important, this person should be escorted to the capital immediately and wait for His Majesty's judgment." ”

However, Zhu Xing, the young secretary of Dali Temple, was a little hesitant, but he thought that if he didn't do this, he would have to go to Ningguo Mansion, and he might be infected with plague there.

So he didn't dare to hesitate too much, so he also said: "The eucalyptus situation is very important, and there are some eyebrows, why don't you see what this person says when he sees His Majesty?" ”

Jin Chun sighed faintly.

He faintly sensed that something was wrong, and he was a little panicked at the thought of promoting his own righteousness.

Until now...... There doesn't seem to be much to say.

In the end, I had to say: "Okay, go back to Beijing overnight." ”

…………

"Xuanwei Guogong Audience."

Zhang Anshi was in Qixia at this time, and when he was about to leave duty, a eunuch suddenly came.

Zhang Anshi was a little confused, so he said, "Father-in-law, is there a mistake?" This...... It's getting dark. ”

The eunuch said with a pleasant face: "This is Your Majesty's message. ”

Regarding His Majesty's edict, Zhang Anshi didn't dare to slack off, but said with a smile: "Nothing will happen, right?" ”

Zhang Anshi said as he set off.

When he arrived at the noon gate, he found that Jin Chun and some people he didn't know well also happened to be there.

Zhang Anshi pretended not to see them and looked up at the sky.

But Jin Chun came up and saluted him: "Wei Guogong, be polite." ”

Zhang Anshi wanted to continue to pretend that he couldn't see it, so he snorted: "Ah, good, good." ”

Fortunately, soon, a eunuch broke this embarrassment.

The crowd was led by the eunuchs and rushed in.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Anshi realized that something was wrong.

This is held in the Chongwen Palace, this day is going to be dark, it is not a court meeting, it is held here, it is really incredible!

And when Zhang Anshi entered the palace, he found that Wenyuan Pavilion, the six departments, and the officials of the Hanlin Academy and the Metropolitan Procuratorate were all here.

This made Zhang Anshi's heart even more suspicious.

Even...... Even the crown prince Zhu Gaochi came.

When Zhang Anshi was both curious and suspicious, Zhu Di ascended to the seat with a gloomy face.

After Jin Chun and the others made up their minds, they ordered someone to send the news to the capital quickly. Although they were tired, they did not dare to slack off, and they hurried to the capital without stopping.

Just as they were on their way, Zhu Di got the express report, and he also noticed that something was wrong, so he immediately made a decision and held a court meeting.

At this time, everyone shouted long live.

Zhu Di did not continue to sit on the imperial chair, but walked a few steps on the hall anxiously before saying, "Which one is the county order of Xuancheng County?" ”

The officials, who were originally somehow, looked at each other one by one, with suspicion in their eyes.

Xuancheng County ......

One humanitarian: "The minister is Wu Zhizhan of Xuancheng County." ”

Zhu Di glanced at Wu Zhizhan deeply, and then said in a deep voice: "What do you want to play?" ”

"The sin of death is unto all mortal sins." Wu Zhizhan lowered his head slightly and said, "I am here to ask for sin." ”

Zhu Di frowned and said, "What's the crime?" ”

"It's hard to write, I don't know if Your Majesty wants the minister to say it all. Or where to start? Wu Zhizhan is quite calm.

When he was in a hurry to see Jianyi, he actually knew that things could no longer be covered.

After all, he is different from the officials of other counties in Ningguo Mansion, he is attached to the county order of Guo County, and he is next door to the prefect's yamen, and he knows everything in the mansion. And the other counties only know the tip of the iceberg.

On the other hand, Ning Guofu's acquaintances, officials, and Zhaomo include a large number of friends, although these people also know a lot of inside information, but after all, they are deeply involved and have no relationship left, so their first reaction is to cover the lid immediately.

But Wu Zhizhan realized that this matter could not be covered at all, and the only way to save himself was at this time.

So when he came all the way, he had already made countless judgments and simulations of the current situation in his heart, even if he saw His Majesty and what to say, he had already rehearsed countless times in his heart.

Zhu Di stared at him tightly and said, "Where is Master Yao at this time?" ”

Under the pressure of Zhu Di's gaze, Wu Zhizhan's heart couldn't help but tremble, and he tried to stabilize his mind and said, "Gong Yao...... Life and death are uncertain, but the ministers are ...... Nine times out of ten, it's dead. ”

As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.

After hearing this, Zhang Anshi also felt that his brain was buzzing, and the whole person was stunned in place, opening his mouth slightly, but he couldn't speak.

Zhu Di's body shook slightly, and he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and finally he sat down on the imperial seat, and then roared: "What did you say? ”

Wu Zhizhan felt that his palms were full of cold sweat at this time, and he could only stubbornly say, "Your Majesty...... Yao Gong...... Something has happened. ”

Zhu Di opened his eyes wide and stared at him deadly, but he shouted excitedly: "Why is it unexpected? ”

Wu Zhizhan was frightened in the face of Zhu Di's anger, and he didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly said: "Yao Gong, he was hungry, starved for a few days, and was beaten again, detained and escorted for a hundred miles, contracted a disease, and no one treated him......

“……”

…………

The first watch is delivered, and there are two more, and the tiger will come on.
