190. Undercurrent

When night fell, the Ministry of Shangshu Lan opened the house

Captain Chang Angran has been in charge of a single line of contact with Lan Kaiji on the orders of the helmsman, and Lan Tang is also the Beizhen Fusi who entered through this line.

"Lord Lan, we will definitely find out Ling Lang's whereabouts as soon as possible and bring him back to you safely."

The man sitting next to Chang Angran was in a long shirt, with a thin figure and fair skin, and he looked very bookish.

But now, such a person's eyes are full of anger, but his good cultivation makes him barely able to sit in a chair and face Chang Ran.

"Captain Chang, what did we say before? Why would Lan Dan go on such a dangerous mission?"

Chang Ran patiently explained, "Lord Lan, it was Ling Lang who chose to go to the inspection department by himself, in order to train himself."

Lan Kaiji held back his anger and asked, "You mean you are completely not responsible for this matter?"

Chang Ran sweated on his forehead, and listened to Lan Kaiji continue to blame:

"What did we say before? I sent my son to Beizhen Fusi to enjoy your best cultivation resources, and I wrote a letter of recommendation to the second child of the An family, asking him to enter the court as an idle prose official, but what are you doing now?"

Chang Angran is also very innocent, the order directly issued from above, this matter has nothing to do with him from beginning to end, but now he has been allowed to do any unjust work, he is a chief captain, and the sect responsible for the crusade has exceeded ten fingers over the years, and now he has to pretend to be a grandson in front of an ordinary person.

"Lan Shangshu, don't worry, we have already held a meeting to discuss, and we will be able to get Lan Dan back in these two days."

"That's enough!"

Lan Kaiji slapped his hand on the table, "No more talk, you can go."

Chang opened his mouth proudly, and he didn't say half a word depressedly, so he had to turn around and leave.

After Chang Ran left, Lan Kaiji took a deep breath to stabilize his emotions, and after a while, someone came to report

"Master, Xu Chun, the servant of the Criminal Department, came to visit."

Lan Kaiji had a touch of doubt in his eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said:

"Get a new set of tea sets, and let him come over directly."

After a while, Xu Chun walked slowly with an apologetic expression

"Lan Shangshu, take the liberty of disturbing, don't blame it."

Lan Kaiji's face softened a little, "No blame, please sit down."

Xu Chun sat down and arched his hand: "Lan Shangshu, our Criminal Department has also heard about Ling Lang's matter, and we also have a responsibility for this matter."

Lan Kaiji did not answer, indeed, the county government judgments and other matters in various places must ultimately be attributed to the Criminal Department, not to mention that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the county officials in Jizhou are no different from those directly under the Criminal Department.

Xu Chun took out a file from his sleeve and handed it to Lan Kaiji

"This is information from our Qu Lang."

Lan Kaiji opened it to read, and Xu Chun said on the side:

"At that time, we had already locked up a big tobacco dealer, but for some reason, the people from the North Town Mansion arrived first and destroyed both people and dirt."

Xu Chun was stunned and said, "What's even more bizarre is that not long after the arresters of our county government arrived at the scene, a group of stronger people appeared to fight with us, and there were heavy casualties on our side, and I believe you also know about it on the side of Beizhen Fusi, only Ling Lang was arrested."

Lan Kaiji finished reading the dossier and said, "What do you want to say?"

Xu Chun didn't expect Lan Kaiji to ask so directly, and replied seriously:

"Lan Shangshu, this case is obviously our internal problem, and the Criminal Department will investigate it strictly, but the attitude of the Beizhen Fusi is ambiguous, and we can't directly intervene with His Majesty's direct subordinates, which has undoubtedly caused a lot of trouble to our work."

Lan Kaiji took a sip of tea, "Go on."

Xu Chun Zhengse said: "Regarding Ling Lang's whereabouts, in fact, we already have preliminary information, but now you also know that the judicial power is not uniform, and in the end, I don't know which department should be blamed for this case."

Xu Chun breathed a sigh of relief and said in a suppressed voice, "I don't know if Lan Shangshu has heard any rumors recently."

Blue open

Ji narrowed his eyes and asked, "What rumors?"

Xu Chun approached Lan Kaiji's ear and said: "The judicial power is unified, the Criminal Department and the Beizhen Fusi will definitely disappear one, in recent years, the Beizhen Fusi has acted too publicly, and many ministers of the DPRK and China have expressed their desire to let the Criminal Department take it as their own."

Xu Chun Zhengse said: "Lan Shangshu, don't worry, Ling Lang, our Criminal Department will definitely help you find it, after the Beizhen Fu Division is merged into the Criminal Department, there will be no shortage of resources for Ling Lang!"

Lan Kaiji bowed his head and was silent, Xu Chun got up and said:

"Tomorrow I will hand over this file to His Majesty for disposal, and the words have come to this, Xu will retire first."

Lan Kaiji got up to send him off, and said with a serious face: "Xu Shilang understands the righteousness, and the safety of the dog is entrusted to you."

Xu Chun smiled and said, "Lan Shangshu, don't worry, Ling Lang will be fine."

Lan Kaiji nodded and beckoned, "Steward Yang, send Xu Shilang."

Looking at the back of Xu Chun leaving, Lan Kaiji's eyes narrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

At first, he was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, and he just wanted to get his son back, but the Beizhen Fusi and the Criminal Department came up at the same time, which made him think more.

Perhaps, this is just the beginning......

The next day, in the early dynasty, Yao Gaozhuo and Xu Chun stood side by side

Yao Gaozhuo glanced back and asked, "Have you found out An Xiuyuan's identity?"

Xu Chun whispered: "An Xiuyuan, the elder brother of Concubine An in the harem, is in the ore business in Jizhou, and thirty percent of the spirit stones on the market recently are from him, which looks inconspicuous, but in fact he is rich."

Yao Gaozhuo's eyes were gloomy, "Why would a businessman take the initiative to move the Punishment Department? He doesn't know how many people's interests will be touched by this?"

Yao Gaozhuo was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "Do you say that it is possible that An Xiuyuan is the helmsman of the Beizhen Mansion Division?"

"I don't think it's possible."

Xu Chun pondered, "It is said that he has business dealings with the technical department of the Beizhen Fusi, so it should be from that aspect."

"Do you want money?"

Yao Gaozhuo did not give up this conjecture in his heart, and as the crowd slowly entered the palace, several people with similar official ranks came over, and several people stood together and prepared to admonish.

After all, it is said that the true face of the helmsman of Beizhen Fusi is only known to the current emperor, and for others, it has always been a vague concept, and many people say that there is no so-called helmsman, and it is all ordered by Emperor Xia Wu himself.

It is precisely in view of this that Yao Gaozhuo plans to attack the court today.

Is imperial power terrible? Now it seems that this is not the case, Emperor Xia Wu's power has gone downhill, if there is no group of important ministers of the Six Ministries to maintain the basic operation of the dynasty, the Great Xia Dynasty will cease to exist long after the changes in heaven and earth.

At the beginning of the early dynasty, after listening to the work reports of various departments, I entered the ceremonial link.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a matter!"

"Speak"

Yao Gaozhuo bowed down, "Your Majesty, regarding the matter of the integration of the Beizhen Fusi and the Criminal Department that An Xiuyuan said before, according to the old minister's view, it should be put on the agenda."

Above the court, many people couldn't help but whisper, and the two brothers An Yuanwei and An Yuankai were even more surprised, and they didn't know which one they were singing.

Didn't you protest fiercely the other day? Why did you agree now?

Emperor Xia Wu's demeanor was majestic, "Go on."

Yao Gaozhuo paused and said:

"Recently, in Qulang, the people of our Criminal Department and the Beizhen Fusi jointly investigated the case, but found that the Beizhen Fusi had too many misdeeds in law enforcement, so that he missed the opportunity to arrest the suspect, Wechen took this opportunity to investigate again, but found that there were too many suspected tortures in the case files handed over by the Beizhen Fusi in the past year, so Wechen specially asked His Majesty to approve me to investigate and deal with the Beizhen Fusi!"

As soon as these words came out, several people standing next to Yao Gaozhuo immediately came out and seconded the proposal:

"Your Majesty, I am a big country, to correct the law with courtesy and educate the people, and there must be no violent law enforcement similar to the Beizhen Fusi! Otherwise, our court will have no credibility to speak of!"

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal."

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal......

Emperor Xia Wu seemed to have expected this scene, and said to the waiter next to him:

"Summoning the North to Fu Helmsman to enter the court."

The waiter took a step forward and said in a loud voice, "Your Majesty has a decree, Xuanbei Zhenfu Helmsman will meet you!"

The ministers who were discussing were silent at the same time, and they all looked out of the gate with wide eyes, only to see a person wearing a brocade robe, embroidered with Bai Ze Divine Beast, wearing a jade crown, and covering his face with gold armor, and walked up to the main hall.

"Beizhen Fu Helmsman, see Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xia Wu said in a deep voice: "You should have heard what Yao Shangshu said just now outside the palace, give an explanation to the ministers present."

The helmsman walked up to Yao Gaozhuo's side, "The Criminal Department has always been in charge of the security and law enforcement of ordinary people, and my Beizhen Fu Division is responsible for arresting cultivators who violate the law, and it is understandable to use tough methods, if your Criminal Department can do a better job than us, then I have nothing to say."

Yao Gaozhuo was stunned by this sudden appearance for a while, so he listened to the helmsman continue:

"Originally, the small case at the bottom shouldn't be taken in the early dynasty, but since Yao Shangshu started this, then I, Beizhen Fusi, will also recount the situation in Qulang."

The helmsman paused, and said loudly, "Your Majesty! The people in the Qulang Criminal Department have caused a lot of trouble to the actions of the Fusi of my North Town, and even many team members have come back to say that the local county government has secretly communicated with some gangsters to frame their colleagues! How does Yao Shangshu explain this?"

Yao Gaozhuo's face changed, and he said sharply:

"You're a bloody squirt! How could I do such a dirty thing! How dare you, a bandit leader who came from nowhere, say nothing!"

Boom ——!

The spiritual power around the helmsman mixed with a murderous aura suddenly exploded, causing the people around him to tremble, Yao Gaozhuo bore the brunt of it, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Protect Your Majesty!"

The imperial guards shouted, and Emperor Xia Wu silently looked at everything in front of him,

The guards stood in front of Emperor Xia Wu, and above the court, the voice of the helmsman sounded coldly

"Yao Gaozhuo, the sect that has been slaughtered in this seat over the years has exceeded half a hundred, and I don't know how much pickled garbage has been cleaned up for my Great Xia Dynasty, what kind of thing are you, you dare to bark here!"
