Syllable!

A servant kicked open the door of the yamen of the prefect of Huai'an Prefecture, and two teams of people rushed in and stood up.

Outside the main entrance, an official with a round collar and a red robe and a black gauze hat walked out of the sedan chair, and the dignified prefect's yamen seemed to be out of his eyes.

said that Tian Ruofu wanted to scold who dared to be so bold at first, but when he came out of it, he only saw a vague figure, and immediately ran out with his head bowed with the corner of his clothes.

"The lower officials don't know that the general cao is coming, and he has missed the distance, so please forgive the general caucao."

Syllable!

Although the person who came was short, Tian Ruofu who was kneeling on the ground was still within his reach, and such a slap was crisp and transparent, and the people in the entire courtyard heard it, and the voice and strength were like a fan on people's hearts.

Then he pointed at Tian Ruofu's head and scolded, "This official is not here for a few days, and you have caused such an incident!" Explain your business, which one of you did it beautifully?! ”

"Always forgive sins, always forgive sins," Tian Ruofu covered his face, as if a big man was about to cry.

It was really unlucky for him, because it was his immediate boss who lost his temper with him, Chen Tai, the governor of Caoyun.

This is to sort out the administrative relationship here.

First of all, Nanzhili is divided into two parts, one is the governor of Yingtian, and the other is the governor of Fengyang. The governor of Yingtian was stationed in Yingtian, that is, Nanjing, and the governor of Fengyang was in Huai'an most of the time.

But the governor of Fengyang is generally a concurrent, and there is a large list in front of it.

Chen Tai's official name at this time should be "Governor Caoyun and Admiral, Military Governor, Fengyang and other places in charge of the river".

Caoyun, Fengyang, Hedao...... Each of these is not a trivial matter, but the place of governance of Zongcao is indeed in Huai'an.

Because Huai'an was a proper hub city in the Ming and Qing dynasties.

The northwest of Nanjing is Fengyang, the northeast is Huai'an, if the focus of Fengyang is military, then the focus of Huai'an is Caoyun.

Because Huai'an is the confluence of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal and the Huai River, merchant ships coming and going will stop at Huai'an.

Secondly, the national fortunes of the Ming and Qing dynasties were bound to Caoyun, and for this purpose, there was also a special Caoyun governor, and the governor's palace was in Huai'an.

In addition, during the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River seized Huai'an and entered the sea, until the Qing Xianfeng period, the Yellow River passed through Huai'an and entered the sea for more than 600 years.

However, the Yellow River flooded, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the Yellow River was relatively light, so the governor of Caoyun also had the words "concurrently in charge of the river", of course, if it really encountered that kind of big flood, the imperial court would temporarily send a commissioner to govern, and the matter was withdrawn, and it was not set up.

After that, from the Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, the Yellow River began to go crazy, and the Kangxi Emperor also took the governance of the Yellow River as the three major industries, so a person really can't wear multiple hats.

The Ming court first began to separate the river and Cao in the Chenghua years, of course, and then it was combined, divided and combined, repeated several times, and finally in the late Wanli period until the end of the Ming Dynasty, the river and Cao have been separated, and the same is true in the Qing Dynasty.

And the Governor of the River, its Governor's Palace, is also in Huai'an.

There are few official positions in the whole world, but for a long time, Huai'an has two, which shows the key to this geographical location.

Until today, there is still an ancient road of the Yellow River in Huai'an City, which is called the 'Waste Yellow River' by the locals, and the two things of the river and the Cao also left two scenic spots: the Jiangnan River Governor's Office and the Caoyun Governor's Mansion.

Therefore, Chen Tai at this time was not only the governor of Caoyun, but also the governor of Fengyang, and also in charge of the river, such an official position...... If the imperial court wants to transfer to the governor of Caoyun, it is generally necessary to choose from among the squires.

This is still the Ming Dynasty, and in the Qing Dynasty, the two things of river and Cao Yun became more and more important, and they all had to be second-class masters.

For an official of such a level, slapping Tian Ruofu, the prefect, is really a trivial matter, not to mention slapping him, it is even more outrageous, as long as he says it, Tian Ruofu has to do it honestly.

It's just that Tian Ruofu is really wronged, he is on an errand well, and he doesn't know what happened, so he was slapped inexplicably, looking at Chen Tai who threw his sleeves, he accompanied him and said:

"The lower officials, the lower officials, don't know what angered General Cao. Please show me to the general officer, and the lower officials will correct it immediately! ”

"I don't even know it. Do you know that for the sake of your business, Kyori sent the cabinet elders! ”

"Ahh Elder Ge is coming?! ”

Tian Ruofu was so shocked by the news that his jaw was about to dislocate, and he couldn't speak for a few breaths.

"General, general, subordinate officials, subordinate officials, subordinate officials......"

"Don't go down again!" Chen Tai scolded angrily: "What a fool, why did Jingli send someone down to investigate the case?" Isn't it because of the letter from the magistrate that it fell into the eyes of the saint? Do you think that so many officials go out of Beijing, don't you want a nod from the saint? And you, at this time, planted his charges and sent him to prison! Now this person can't be killed, can't let go, can take care of his head but can't care about his heart, extremely stupid, ridiculous! ”

"Go!" Chen Tai pointed at him, "Send someone to release it!" ”

Tian Ruofu's lips trembled, and he cried and said: "Total, total, but he did shorten the warehouse to store grain, which is also true!" ”

"You know the truth yourself! This person has no foundation here, so naturally he is talking nonsense with you, those stupid geese from the capital only want to protect themselves and will not delve into it with you, but as soon as the elder arrives, how can you be in a panic?

With 6,200 stone of grain, who transported it, where it was transported, and who took it over, have you killed all the people inside and outside here? Or can the magistrate of Qingjiangpu not say anything in front of the elder Ge? ! ”

Chen Tai's words were like a hammer hammer hitting his heart.

In a high position and an important minister of the country, the brain must not be below him.

After saying this, I felt that there were a lot of loopholes in the crime I had planted, and the biggest loophole was that there were many people who handled it.

He, the prefect, is still there, and these people can't speak for themselves and their families, but if he is taken down, it will be difficult to speak.

Chen Tai saw that he was still hesitating, and he ordered angrily, he pointed to the people in the prefect's yamen and said: "This official will say again, go and release the people, if you are missing a finger, none of you can afford it!" ”

Tian Ruofu hadn't spoken yet, but he shrank like a turtle, and the people below looked left and right, and still did as Zong Cao said.

After all, this official is too big.

In fact, Tian Ruofu is now a little discouraged.

The dignified governor of Caoyun and the governor of Fengyang, how could he stand out for a small Shanyang magistrate, people must have seen the direction of the wind and began to stand in line.

The reason why he stood in line was also obvious, and Kyori became suspicious.

It's a pity that he can't stand up to this team.

……

……

When Xie Guangxie and Liu Chun heard that the elder pavilion was coming, they also immediately felt bad.

"Isn't there a problem with the music we went up?!"

Liu Chun thought carefully about what he wrote, they came to Chuck to deduct wages, and the reply was all related to this, that is, after consulting the people, there was indeed such a thing, but the accounts of the Shaofu were all in order, and they paid for it, which means that the problem was with the engineering team.

Handled as a general case,

If there is no special voice in the palace, then they will close the case.

Arrest the people of the engineering team, copy their family property, and then distribute a little to the people, and divide the excess.

That way, everyone is safe.

As for Zhang Xuan's grain storage in the warehouse, it was Tian Ruofu's trouble, he pulled shit and wiped his buttocks.

Anyway, when the people received the money, their task was accomplished.

But now the reaction of the imperial court is that the elder of the pavilion has come down directly, which is not good.

This at least directly shows that the emperor is quite dissatisfied with this, otherwise he would not have reacted so quickly and violently.

Where are you dissatisfied?

"The investigation of the case is light." Liu Chun said.

Chen Ding also felt that it was, "If a county magistrate wants to sue the Shaofu regardless of his life, it must not be groundless, if it is only a matter of a few engineering teams, even if it is a Jiupin Zhixian County, it can also knock out money for the people from their iron teeth and steel teeth, and there must still be an official figure." ”

Xie Guangxie nodded again and again, "Not bad!" Shaofu's account still has to be checked! The prefect of Huai'an Mansion also has a problem, he is not sooner or later, he must put Zhang Xuan in prison at this time, why? This case is full of suspicions, and it is indeed inappropriate to conclude it hastily. Fortunately, our previous case is not closed, but the current situation is like this, so let's investigate more carefully. ”

"It's our duty to find out what happened." Liu Chun also added.

To put it simply,

Now at this juncture, they are about to start 'disembarking in disembarkation', the wind is high, the waves are urgent, and there is nothing to care about at this time.

"Xie Vice Xian, Liu Shilang, the lower officials thought that Zhang Xuan of Shanyang County should be released immediately, he didn't know the severity, and he wouldn't arbitrarily deduct his wages and wages, since he was on it, he must have something to rely on, otherwise this is no different from suicide? Therefore, Xia Guan felt that if this case was to be investigated clearly, it was still necessary to rely on its strength. ”

Both bosses nodded.

"Someone! Go to the prefect's yamen! ”

It's easy to get a person.

It's just that when they rushed to the prefect's yamen in a hurry, they didn't even look at the back of the general cao.

When I got inside, I caught someone and asked them, and I realized that someone had taken Zhang Xuan away before them.

This Chen Tai does have some ability, at least people react faster than them.

But as the squire of the Criminal Department and the right deputy of the Imperial Palace, they can still enter the gate of the Governor of Caoyun.

So he was rerouted to the Caoyun Governor's Palace, which was a few miles away.

And at this time,

Zhang Xuan had been unshackled and changed his clothes, and then led to Chen Tai.

Chen Tai was sitting in the pavilion at the end of the corridor.

Zhang Xuan was fortunate enough to see it from afar a few times, so he still recognized it, so he immediately knelt down, "Criminal officer Zhang Zhang, meet General Cao." ”

"Get up." Chen Tai's face was wide and fat, the meat was puffing and puffing, and his voice deliberately leaked a little cordial, "You use your words, in the first year of Bingyin Kejinshi, it has been three years since you were in Shanyang, right?" ”

"It's been three and a half years."

"Do you know why I saved you?"

"I don't know."

"There are not many ministers in the world, if you dare to go to that letter, the official will know that you are an extraordinary person, in addition to being the chief Cao, the official is also the governor of Fengyang, the pastor of the son of heaven, in addition to the people, there are also recommended officials, you are not to die."

When Zhang Xuan first entered the officialdom, he only felt that the governor of Caoyun in front of him was upright, and people still had a life-saving grace for him, so he was naturally unable to hide his excitement in his heart, "Zhang Zhang, thank you for saving your life and mentioning something!" The grace of the total Cao, such as the reinvention of the parents, the next official will definitely repay it in this life! ”

"Hahaha. This official still expects you to be repaid by a magistrate? Chen Tai stroked his beard and laughed, and held his hand to let him get up, "Bingyong, you are not guilty, and you don't need to call yourself a criminal official, you just need to remember that the case of the Shaofu official's deduction of wages, you will investigate and report it truthfully, no matter how big the official is involved, it doesn't matter, it's a big deal, this official will also report to Your Majesty!" ”

When Zhang Xuan heard that this was a platform for himself, he was even more excited, "The next official obeys the order!" ”

Chen Tai was in a more relaxed mood, and the cabinet was old, and this matter must have attracted the emperor's attention. The emperor's character, he understands, at this time, instead of planning to fight, it is better to be generous to create his own image.

As for saying that he came to report to His Majesty?

Where is the need, no matter how big the matter is caused by Zhang Zhang, there is also the old Wang Wei, he will report to the emperor.
