Chapter 29 A Pleading
[Some readers are still commenting at three or four o'clock in the morning, everyone still has to pay attention to their bodies! ] γ
All the way back to the palace, when he reached the palace gate, he saw a group of officials waiting outside.
He had never seen these people, but from the complements on their chests, it could be seen that they were military attachΓ©s of different ranks.
Tomorrow is the day to convene the military council, and these people gathered in the palace at this time, just because they wanted to set up a bottom at the prince's place in advance.
Zhu Jinghong didn't communicate with these people, and led the guards into the palace gate, leaving a group of military attachΓ©s covered with smoke and dust.
"Who is that, who actually led people to run horses in the palace......"
Only then did this person ask aloud, and someone immediately replied: "Who else can there be, of course it's the Thirteenth Master!" β
"It turned out to be this grandfather......
Knowing that it was Zhu Jinghong riding the horse, everyone present was puzzled, so they continued to chat.
"The bad debts of the government treasury in Jinling, do you say that they can be cleaned up in half a month? It's been three days! β
"You still care about yourself, this time the Holy One is angry...... If we can't do anything to suppress them, I'm afraid that the end will be worse than that of these magistrates! β
The words of the person behind directly quieted the scene.
Besides, Zhu Jinghong entered the palace, he was the first to go to the direction of the dormitory, about Xue Pan's suing Hu Jin'an, he had to greet Zhu Jingyuan in advance.
"Fourth brother is here?"
In fact, this is purely superfluous, Zhu Jingyuan has the attributes of an otaku, except for going to Xiaoling once when he came, he has never walked out of the palace.
"The prince is reading the newspaper!"
After entering the palace, Zhu Jinghong went straight to the study, and sure enough, he saw the prince sitting behind the bookcase.
To his left and right, two desks were set up, and four officials of the East Palace were reviewing them.
"Thirteenth brother, you're back so soon?"
From Zhu Jinghong's trip to the palace to the present, the time has not exceeded an hour, which really surprised Zhu Jingyuan.
Looking at the young brother's heroic dress, and thinking of his weak body, Zhu Jingyuan is definitely fake to say that he is not envious.
"Fourth brother, there is something important to discuss with you, let's go out?"
There were outsiders in the room, even if they were subordinate officials of the East Palace, Zhu Jinghong felt that it was inconvenient to speak.
"Thirteenth brother, if it's not a big deal, wait until I see my last two reports and meet the generals of Jinling!"
"Fourth brother, these people from Jinling Dusi, did you ask them to come over today, or did they come by themselves?" Zhu Jinghong frowned and asked.
The agreed time was tomorrow, and they shouldn't have come today.
"This ...... They came on their own, and I was going to excuse myself, but they prayed earnestly for a meeting, so I made them wait until now! β
Hearing this, Zhu Jinghong asked calmly, "What are you going to say when the fourth brother sees them?" β
"Well, this ......"
Zhu Jingyuan has been very busy and has not bothered to think about these issues.
"Fourth brother, think about it again, what do they want to come to visit?"
Without waiting for Zhu Jingyuan to answer, Zhu Jinghong explained: "I'm afraid that I am here to complain and talk about the ...... conditions."
"They threw the difficulties to you, how should the fourth brother deal with it?"
In his previous life, he was a social animal in the workplace, and Zhu Jinghong had seen and experienced those bad things between his superiors and subordinates.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, what the Thirteenth Master said is reasonable, you have to be cautious in this matter!" The subordinate officials of the East Palace on the side expressed their approval.
Seeing that the others also nodded, Zhu Jingyuan recognized Zhu Jinghong's opinion, and then said: "Then I will send someone to spread the word, it is inconvenient to see each other today!" β
Zhu Jinghong smiled and came to the prince's side: "Big brother, sitting still all day is not good for your health, let's go...... Let's go out for a walk! β
Regardless of whether people agreed or not, Zhu Jinghong picked up Zhu Jingyuan and walked outside.
"Fourth brother, in the past two days, how is the situation in various prefectures?"
Speaking of this, Zhu Jingyuan was full of joy: "It is very effective, there is a lot of progress compared to before, and it is likely to be completed at the end of the month!" β
"Fourth brother, but I still feel that I need to add a layer of protection, so I plan to ......"
When Zhu Jinghong elaborated on the plan, outside the Yamen of the Judge at the other end, Xue Pan had already rushed over with the house slaves.
As one of the top magnates in Jinling, Xue Pan entered the yamen smoothly and handed over the written form.
This is to sue the imperial court officials, if ordinary people have been beaten out, but the plaintiff is him, the uncle of the Xue family.
There was no way, the case was uploaded layer by layer and sent to the desk of the deputy envoy who sat on the board of directors today.
"It's ridiculous, bring people over, sir, I'll ask you personally!" Deputy Envoy Chen Xuanyi's face was gloomy.
"Yes!"
After a while, Xue Pan shook the folding fan, walked into the inner hall slowly, and said hello to Chen Xuanyi.
"Xue Pan, do you want to sue Hu Jin'an, the official of Tianfu?"
"Do you know that this is a big deal, and it's not child's play!"
Putting away the folding fan, Xue Pan said very solemnly: "Lord Chen, it's not child's play, I really can't get used to seeing Hu Jin'an Cao Kan's life, so I ask the adults to investigate strictly!" β
"You're really not kidding?"
"Master Chen, do you think I'm joking?"
Putting down the situation, Chen Xuanyi said calmly: "I can't take your case!" β
"Master Chen, if you can't take it, then I'll go to the palace to complain!" Glancing at Chen Xuanyi, Xue Pan continued: "If the prince doesn't care, I will go to the Criminal Department to report to the Metropolitan Procuratorate!" β
"Nonsense!" Chen Xuanyi slapped the table.
This is indeed nonsense, but Xue Pan has no choice, Hu Jin'an will be finished if he is not unlucky.
"Master Chen, according to whether the judge can accept this case or not, you can give a happy word!"
Chen Xuanyi wanted to refuse directly, but he was afraid that Xue Pan would go to the palace to complain, which made him difficult for a while.
Of course, if it weren't for the fact that the Xue family had some power, plus he was related to the Jia family and the Wang family in the capital, Chen Xuanyi would have ordered someone to beat him out.
What should I do if I encounter something that cannot be solved? The answer is to push it to those who have the ability to solve it.
Just as Chen Xuanyi was thinking about telling He Gujin about the matter, the latter had already sent someone to the front.
"Lord Chen, Lord He asked Uncle Xue to go to the humble position!"
This is something that cannot be desired, Chen Xuanyi nodded immediately, and stuffed the form to Xue Pan.
In desperation, Xue Pan had to leave with the form.
After seven turns and eight times in the corridor, when he entered a courtyard gate, Xue Pan came to a small garden.
At this moment, between the flower stands in the garden, there is an old man wearing a gray straight jacket, holding scissors and pruning flower branches.
Hearing the movement behind him, the old man stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Xue Pan.
"Meet Lord Tsudai!" Xue Pan saluted respectfully.
Standing in front of him was none other than He Gujing, the envoy of Jinling.
"Virtuous nephew, I heard that you are going to sue?" He Gujin walked to the chair and sat down on the scissors.
As the top position of the judge, he can't hide any affairs in the yamen, and it is simple to know that Xue Pan's complaint is true.
"Exactly!" While answering, Xue Pan also handed over the form.
He Gu Jin already knew the content of the complaint, but he still looked at it carefully, and asked at the same time: "Your case is not small, if you don't pay attention to the officialdom of Jinling, it will shake, your family is in business...... Why do this thankless task? β
Xue Pan was stopped in one sentence, although the latter wanted to explain, but he couldn't think of a good word for a moment.
Seeing that he was silent, He Gujin asked again: "I heard that today, the Thirteenth Master went to your house?" β
"Exactly!"
"What did the Thirteenth Master tell you?"
"This ......"
There are some things that should not be said, Xue Pan really can't make up his mind, so he simply chooses not to say it at the moment.
Just when he thought that the so-called complaint would end without a problem, he heard He Gujin say: "Your case involves a lot of seriousness, and the case will be placed in the court first, and then I will ......make more decisions after I have considered it thoroughly."
"How?"
