Mountains and rivers are connected, wind and rain are the same.

The wind and rain that raged all night in Chengdu Mansion finally subsided, the stars faded, and the sky was faintly bright.

Pei Xingjian stood under the plaque of 'Politics and Harmony' with his hands, staring at the raindrops under the eaves that could no longer be connected into lines, and sighed softly.

"It's over."

"Teacher, the Gu family sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, and now I am waiting at the door of the yamen."

A clear voice sounded behind Pei Xingjian.

"He's well-informed."

Pei Xingjian sneered, "He's suggesting that the old man hurry up and make room for him." ”

The young man standing behind him smiled slightly when he heard this, "Gu Xi has just been recommended not long ago, and he has not yet entered the capital to face the saint, and he has entered the official department, and he can be promoted to become the county commander of Chengdu in the line of fire, and he can't wait to change it." ”

"But now the dust has only settled on the Chongqing Mansion for two or three hours, and the fire on the Golden Tower may not have been extinguished yet, and they have already known the news that you are going to be the prefect of Chongqing Mansion."

The young man sighed: "The strength of this Gu family is really not to be underestimated. ”

"A bunch of rotten people with little eyes."

Pei Xingjian said disdainfully: "They only saw the abundant oil and water in Chengdu County, but they didn't know what kind of cusp this position would be pushed to next!" ”

"Since ancient times, wealth and wealth have been sought in danger, and there is a saying in Xiyi that as long as there is three times the profit, it is enough to make people forget life and death. Only when you go out to sea in a stormy storm can you catch a big fish worth a thousand dollars. ”

"Yang Baize, you kid is not very old, why do you talk more gloomily than an old man like me?"

Pei Xingjian scolded with a smile, his eyes revealing a trace of solemnity, "I'm afraid that it is not a big fish that sets off the stormy waves, but an enraged dragon." ”

Yang Baize, who was wearing a pair of arms and a white shirt, had a gleam in his eyes, and his eyebrows were shining.

Just like the young man who stood under the big moon in Mianzhou County that day, he said loudly that he would surpass his ancestors and change the way of the world by himself.

"Teacher, what do you mean by Jiaolong?"

Pei Xingjian nodded, and said in a heavy tone: "Although they drove away the Buddhist Sect sequence, the dirty methods played by the Zongren Mansion and Honghu were also known to them. These bull noses are not characters who can spit on their own faces, and the next Chongqing Mansion will inevitably be fighting openly and secretly, and Chengdu Mansion will not have a good time. ”

"That's why they let you take charge of the overall situation, teacher.

Yang Baize said with a smile: "If it weren't for you, the yamen of Chongqing Mansion wouldn't be able to open." ”

"They dislike this work as dirty and tiring, and they will lose their heads if they are not careful, so they just throw it to the old man."

Pei Xingjian sneered, then slowly turned around and looked at this closed disciple who had obtained it by chance, like a treasure, and his tone turned soft.

"The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War jointly issued a report on the handling of the incident in Chongqing Prefecture, have you read it?"

"I've seen it."

Pei Xingjian's words were full of consideration, "Then talk about your opinion." ”

Yang Baize pondered for a moment, and after organizing his words, he said softly: "Judging from the content of the report, the tone of the whole matter is to punish and reward secretly. ”

"Oh?" Pei Xingjian raised his eyebrows, and said with interest: "What kind of open punishment and secret reward method?" ”

"This time, Honghu infiltrated Chongqing Mansion to murder Zhu Youhong, the king of Qin, although in the end Ding Huan, the king of Yin, was corrected on the spot, but the king of Qin still died. Not to mention murder or suicide, according to the empire's practice of dealing with such incidents, the Jinyi guards of Chongqing Prefecture who have the duty of guarding cannot escape responsibility. ”

"But the report only used the sentence 'all officials will be demoted by one level and fined for half a year', and the matter was lightly passed. The board was raised high and fell gently, and the punishment was so light that it could be regarded as a precedent for the empire. ”

"And the results of the handling of several supervisors in Chongqing Mansion Jinyi Wei are also very intriguing."

Pei Xingjian chuckled: "Let's talk about it specifically." ”

"The report said that the Jinyi Wei hundred households Yan Bahuang were loyal to the monarch and martyred the country, so he was posthumously awarded the position of Jinyi Wei Thousand Households, and the deeds were sorted out and reported by the Beizhen Fu Division, and distributed to the official offices, guards, and military towns in various parts of the empire in the form of a newspaper for study."

This is not difficult to understand, it is to save face for the royal family and the three law divisions. After all, the New Donglin Party, the Zongren Mansion, and the Three Law Divisions are all tired in this matter, and no one's hands are clean. If the truth is really put on the table, everyone's face will not look good. ”

"Secondly, Wang Xie, the director of the second division, was demoted to a small banner, continued to lead the responsibility of the general flag, and took the lead in completing the reconstruction of the Jinyi Weihu in Chongqing Prefecture. This actually left the position of the hundred households of Yan Bahuang to him. ”

"That's right." Pei Xingjian nodded in agreement, and the smile on his face became thicker and thicker.

"Finally, there is the director of the first department, although his identity is not recorded in the case library of the Beizhen Fusi, but the hundred households of the local household office have the power to appoint their subordinates. And as far as I know, the identity filing procedure has been reported, so whether Beizhen Fu Sicheng admits it or not, the identity of Li Jun, the director of the Jinyi Wei Division of Chongqing Prefecture, is a certainty. ”

The report stated that Li Jun was also demoted to a small banner and transferred to serve in the area where the resistance was most rampant. This is obviously someone in the court who is protecting him and wants to pull him out of the muddy waters of Chongqing Mansion. ”

Yang Baize bowed to Pei Xingjian, who was smiling, "This is also one of the most puzzling places for students. ”

The latter smiled and asked: "The content of the report is so simple and clear, what is the confusion?" ”

"For the public, the truth about the cause of His Royal Highness King Qin's death remains to be discussed, but the court is so sure that he died at the hands of Ding Huan, and the characterization is too arbitrary. Privately, Li Jun is following the martial arts sequence after all, although he is a 'wild' martial artist, and there is no sect support behind him, but I am afraid that doing so will also cause dissatisfaction on both sides of the Dao Sect and the Buddhist Sect. ”

Yang Baize said in a deep voice: "For public and private, the results of such treatment are too slight. ”

Pei Xingjian smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth, and he didn't say anything, but just asked: "If I'm not mistaken, teacher, Li Jun once spared your life, right?" ”

"That's why the student wants to ask clearly, so that he can tell him the news in the future."

Yang Baize's expression was calm, there was no taboo between the half-point sequence, and he was not worried that this sentence would anger his teacher.

Grace is grace, and affection is affection.

He still remembers that when he was in Mianzhou County, Li Jun was obviously able to kill himself like pinching a worm to death, and then take away all the brain tissue slices.

But the other party was willing to risk being discovered by Shudao Logistics, leaving a slice and a life for himself.

"Okay, the grievances are clear, and it is worthy of the old man's reading seeds."

Pei Xingjian laughed loudly, and the laughter echoed in the courtyard of the county office.

"You have seen most of the whole thing thoroughly, and the reason why there is one doubt left is because you don't know that when someone in the court revealed Honghu's development plan to Zhu Youhong, it was doomed that the end of this imperial vassal king could only be a dead end!"

"The Daomen unified the basic plate of the southwest of the empire, which is not in the interests of the New Donglin Party."

Pei Xingjian's eyes were blazing, and he said loudly: "To put it bluntly, this turmoil in Chongqing Mansion is a bureau set up to solve this problem. ”
