Chapter 100: Make you an official
Xiao Changyi was frightened by the fact that Gonggong Cao next to him trembled, Long Yan's anger was not a joke, it was possible that his head would fall to the ground at any time.
Shao Xi was thinking about the matter of Qingshan County, it was when the anger came up, but he was not afraid, but he was a little puzzled, it was expected that this saint would be angry when he heard this, but why did he rush at himself first?
I wonder if it's boring, since the saint is angry, let's kneel down first!
After Shao Xi knelt down, he didn't show fear, but asked, "I don't know why Your Majesty angrily scolded the grass people after hearing about the incident in Qingshan County?" Does Your Majesty also take it for granted that the people do not fight with the officials? ”
As soon as Gonggong Cao heard Shao Xi's disrespectful words, he was so anxious to die at this moment. Xin said: "This little ancestor is really dying, how can he dare to question the saint?" Isn't it a long life? ”
Xiao Changyi said angrily: "You pretended to be a court official to deceive, sneaked into the official mansion to steal, and used lynching to kill the son of the county guard and the prison in the government prison, which of your actions is not a capital crime?" ”
Shao Xi was unconvinced when he heard this, and when he thought of Ye Ziyuan's tragic death, his blood was also surging at this time, and he was angry, so he didn't care about it, and questioned Xiao Changyi instead.
"Your Majesty is right, the grass people are all capital crimes, but why do the grass people commit these crimes? If Your Majesty governs well and employs people properly, will there be collusion between officials and bandits in Qingshan County to harm the people? If His Majesty supervises the law and the officials supervise effectively, why do we need ordinary people like us to steal evidence and go to Beijing to file a complaint? Without these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, how could a woman be forced to ignore life and death? If there is a way to complain, why should I let people like powerless and powerless people do such helpless acts? Is it really a crime to be held accountable, officials at all levels protect each other, and bend the law for bribes? Your Majesty is not responsible for the improper use of people, and the public opinion is not observed? Why do you have to pursue the most powerless ordinary people first every time something happens? ”
Xiao Changyi was stunned by Shao Xi's series of questions.
Shao Xi didn't care so much at this time, and then said: "Your Majesty just said at the banquet that Your Majesty's world is the world of the people of the world, and Your Majesty's country is also the country of the people of the world. ”
Father-in-law Cao is really scared at the moment, Shao Xi's words can be said to be a great rebellion, the crime of bullying the king, enough to be pulled out and cut immediately.
Xiao Changyi asked Shao Xi with a gloomy face at this time: "Do you think that you have shown your talent and learning in the main hall, proposed the method of co-governance of a hundred schools, and promoted the cooperation of all schools, and I am reluctant to kill you if you have merit first?" ”
Shao Xi also came up, and replied with a gun and a stick in his tone: "The people of this world, your majesty will naturally kill whoever you want to kill, but the mouth of this world, your majesty can't be blocked, if you tell the truth, you will be killed, I don't know if your majesty wants to kill all the people in this world?" ”
Xiao Changyi didn't answer Shao Xi's question, but suddenly changed the topic and asked Shao Xi: "You just said that you have asked your senior brother Bai Jingnian through your teacher to submit those two account books to the Criminal Department, but is this so?" ”
"I asked Mr. for this matter, if you want to pursue it, just hold me accountable, and it has nothing to do with Mr. and Senior Brother."
"Cao Li."
As soon as Gonggong Cao heard Xiao Changyi call him, he hurriedly stepped forward and responded: "The slave is here!" What does Your Majesty command? ”
"Can the Criminal Department hand it over in the past two days?"
"Yes, yesterday the Criminal Department did have an excerpt handed it over."
"Bring it."
"Yes."
Gonggong Cao hurriedly walked to the front of the imperial case and rummaged through it, and after a while, he took a fold and presented it to Xiao Changyi.
Xiao Changyi took the fold, opened it and looked at it carefully for a while, the more he saw the frowning brows behind him, and his hands trembled slightly in the end.
Suddenly closed the fold, "snapped" and fell on the case, and instructed Cao Gonggong: "Immediately announce that Fang Bingwen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, will come to see me." ”
Gonggong Cao hurriedly responded, "The slave leads the order." ”
He turned around and trotted out to deliver the message.
Xiao Changyi glanced at Shao Xi and asked, "How did you convince Qingshan County Shou Chen Mohuai that you are the 'Jing Cheng Division' four-grade supervision and inspection history." ”
Shao Xi knew very well in his heart that after the matter of Qingshan County was exposed, he would definitely be held accountable for the matter of pretending to be the "Jing Cheng Division" supervision history, so the brand in his hand would have to be handed over sooner or later, rather than being forced to ask by the collar one day, it was better to take the initiative to take it out himself.
So, Shao Xi took out the waist card of the "Jing Chengsi" four-grade supervision and inspection history from his arms and put it on the imperial case in front of Xiao Changyi.
When Xiao Changyi saw this sign, he was surprised and surprised. Reaching out and holding the sign in his hand, he looked at it carefully over and over again to confirm that it was not a forgery.
"How can this thing be in your hands? Where did you get it from? It's a big deal, it's not child's play, you have to be honest with me, and if you can't tell it, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”
Shao Xi couldn't help but scold her mother for a while.
"I've made it clear to you that it's useless again, there was a fire in Fengjiazhuang back then, and more than 60 people all over the door died, aren't you still ignoring it? I'll be honest with you, if I don't know if I'm dying faster, it's better to rely on you than on myself. ”
After making up his mind, Shao Xi began to make up nonsense again.
"I was the same age as Feng Yuyan, the young master of the Feng family, and we often played together when we were young, so he often took me to some places where their family hid things. Ten years ago, there was a fire in the Feng family, when I ran over to find Feng Yuyan, although the fire was extinguished, but none of the people of the Feng family could not be found, this sign was found in a dark compartment under the floor of his house back then, and I have been staying by my side as a souvenir, and I only knew what it was when I grew up. When I was in Qingshan County, I took it out out of desperation to scare those corrupt officials, but I didn't think it would work. ”
Xiao Changyi was silent for a long time after listening to Shao Xi's words, and he didn't know what he was thinking at the moment?
Shao Xixin said: "You only feel guilty about what happened ten years ago, don't you think it's a little late?" Why did you go earlier? ”
After being silent for a while, Xiao Changyi slowly asked, "Since then, have you never seen anyone from the Feng family again?" ”
Shao Xi shook his head and replied: "No, since I found this brand back then, I haven't been to Fengjiazhuang again, it has long been a ruin now, and I haven't seen anyone from the Feng family again." ”
"Well, it's probably gone."
Shao Xi muttered to himself in his heart, "Hmph! If you cut me down today, the Feng family's destruction will be in your hands. ”
Xiao Changyi looked at Shao Xi in front of him, and his expression returned to normal, but at this time, under the majesty of the emperor, there seemed to be a little more love.
"Not only are you capable of writing and martial arts, but you are also quite bold. Most people will be scared half to death when they know the meaning of this brand, but you will take it around and deceive. No one has ever dared to speak to me like you just now, and if you are really bold, you are not afraid that I will cut off your head? ”
Shao Xi muttered in his heart, "It's strange if you're not afraid!" Didn't you make me angry? But it seems to be a little more relaxed at this time, since I offended you just now, let's pat your ass now! ”
"Your Majesty's sword is a traitor, a slanderer, and a servant, and if you cut off the heads of those who tell the truth, who will dare to tell the truth to your Majesty in the future? Your Majesty is the ruler of the world, and he must know the truth of 'loyalty against the ear', but I was worried that His Majesty would hit my board just now, and I was afraid of pain. ”
Xiao Changyi was a little helpless by Shao Xi's scoundrels, shook his head and said: "I just said that you have the courage, I didn't expect you to be so clever and able to speak at this moment, which one is the real you?" I don't like people who are left and right, and who are delicate on all sides. ”
"Your Majesty, everyone in this world is willing to listen to good words, and those who say good things to you every day must have a plan, but if people who can only tell the truth are screwed up with you like a quarrel every day, then they won't be angry to death? So tell the truth when it's time to tell the truth, and say good things when it's time to say good things. ”
Xiao Changyi only felt that he couldn't cry or laugh at the moment, the young man in front of him was both civil and military, knowledgeable, courageous, and courageous, and now he seemed to be quite sophisticated and eloquent. Such a person will be a great help if he is under his own hands, but if he is under the hands of others, he will most likely become his worst enemy. But what kind of person it is, it remains to be seen, it is better to give him an idle position to tie him up first, and if it is really available, it is not too late to entrust him with important tasks.
Thinking of this, Xiao Changyi raised his hand and threw the waist card of "Jing Chengsi" to Shao Xi, and said casually: "Since this brand is a commemoration of your childhood, I will return it to you, you like to pretend to be this supervision history so much, then I will simply seal you a supervision history, but you are only an official for the time being, so that you can walk everywhere in the future, you can meddle in civil cases, but you have no right to conduct secret investigations on hundreds of officials in the DPRK, when will I officially seal you as an official, when will you have this right, Do you understand what I mean? ”
Shao Xi took the sign and stuffed it into his arms, and replied in his mouth: "Your Majesty, you have given me the right to cut first and then play!" I don't bother to care about the hundred officials in the court, it's enough to go wherever I go with this title without being embarrassed by the government, those confidential things in the court are too nerve-wracking, and I am also happy to be idle. ”
Xiao Changyi thought to himself: "This person who is excellent in all aspects is not so eager for power, which is a good thing, so as not to be wary of him every day." ”
"On the seventh day of the day after tomorrow, I will have a banquet in the Lin De Hall to invite all the foreign envoys who have come to pay tribute, so come over too! At that time, I have some things to ask you to do, and this is the gold medal that I have given you, and with it, you can walk freely inside and outside the palace in addition to the harem in the future. ”
As he spoke, he threw Shao Xi another sign.
Shao Xi took the sign into his hand, which was a gold medal engraved with cloud dragon patterns all around, with "Imperial Gift" on the front and "Walking" on the back.
"Alright, you go back! Don't forget to rush to the Rindejeon early in the morning. ”
"The grass people obey the order, and the grass people retire."
"You're already an official, why are you still a grass people?"
"Oh! I forgot, I didn't get used to it all of a sudden, Weichen obeyed, and Weichen retired. ”
After speaking, Shao Xi withdrew from the imperial study, and when he went out, he met Gonggong Cao, who had accompanied Fang Bingwen, the secretary of the Criminal Department, to the door.
Gonggong Cao looked at Shao Xi with a surprised expression, probably wondering why the saint didn't clean him up?
At this time, Xiao Changyi was looking at Shao Xi's back and shook his head with a wry smile.
