After being pinched by He Gujin, Xue Pan put down his position and left.

As soon as he walked on his front foot, Chen Xuanyi appeared in the garden on his back foot, standing in front of He Gujin with a serious expression.

"My lord left the case to take on this case?"

Sighing, He Gujin said helplessly: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to pick it up!" ”

"Who can force you, my lord?"

"What do you say?" He Gu asked rhetorically.

Chen Xuanyi was stunned for a moment, and in an instant, he thought a lot, and had a general idea of the situation of the matter.

The two were silent for a while, but Chen Xuanyi spoke first: "Now that the treasury is being checked, the yamen at all levels are bent on making up for the shortfall, if Hu Jin'an's extortion of the rich is singled out, the adults can know what the consequences will be!" ”

The consequence is naturally that he is regarded as an enemy by the officials of Jinling, and this official will not be able to stand.

He Gu understood the reason, but after a conversation with Zheng Xianlin before, he gave up the idea of retreating.

After the case was followed, in the end, the matter became big and he was dismissed, which was a good thing for He Gujin.

What's wrong with leaving the whirlpool of Jinling and returning to your hometown to spend your old age in peace.

"Let me think about this again!"

Putting away the situation, He Gujin walked outside the hospital, he planned to discuss with Zheng Xianlin before making a decision.

However, he didn't know that Xue Pan's complaint against Hu Jinan had gradually spread to Jinling officialdom under the impetus of well-intentioned people.

When the time came to the evening, thirty miles southwest of Yingtianfu City, there was a very large grange.

The manor is full of pavilions and pavilions, and it is really a good place for leisure and recuperation.

In one of the attics, an old man in a green robe was standing against the railing, his eyes looking deeply at the bright moon in the sky.

This person is Qian Ruiming, a Taoist who is also in charge of the Changzhen branch and guarding the road, and is one of the several high-ranking officials on the ground in Jinling.

Although he is a high-ranking official from the fourth grade, Qian Ruiming's face is full of sadness, just because he has encountered difficulties recently.

As an official who supervises the money and grain of the two prefectures in Zhenjiang and Changzhou, there is a deficit in the money and grain of the two prefectures, and some of them are related to Qian Ruiming, how can this not make him feel anxious.

The deficit will definitely not be made up in a short period of time, can it really report the real situation? If you really do that, the law of the country can't spare him.

The two local governors pretended to be deaf and dumb, and a group of imperial historians didn't ask about everything, if Qian Ruiming didn't want to sit still, he had to do something.

"Sir, the guests are here......"

"Please!"

After a while, an old man wearing a blue round-necked robe and a Dongpo scarf appeared in the attic.

"Lord Qian, you can be leisurely, I really admire you!"

"Lord Liu, don't make fun of me, we're both ants on a hot pot now!"

"Ants on a hot pan, keep going like this...... I'm afraid that the two of us will really be burned to death by this fire! ”

Qian Ruiming sighed, beckoned downstairs, and said, "Okay, come up and talk!" ”

This was an extremely private conversation, so there were no servants and maids in the attic, and the two old men had to pour their own wine and food.

"Lord Liu, what's the situation on your side?"

After a drink, Liu Deyan put down the wine glass and said, "It's all about the same, what else can happen!" ”

"Do you think you can find a way to let the Japanese burn some of the treasury, so we ......?"

Hearing Qian Ruiming's bold decision, Liu Deyan immediately interrupted him: "Old Qian, you are crazy!" ”

"The treasury is empty, we are greedy for silver, but we are just dismissed or exiled, and we will be beheaded if we don't ......"

"If you collude with the Japanese Kou, then you will be punished for rebellion, and you will be punished by the Nine Clans!"

As a prosecutor, Liu Deyan supervised the criminal names of the two prefectures in Songjiang, Suzhou, and Da Ming Law naturally knew it.

Hearing this, Qian Ruiming sneered: "As long as you plan carefully, you may not be known!" ”

Who knew that Liu Deyan stood up directly, and said with a gloomy face: "If you ask me to talk about this, then let's end here!" ”

Seeing that Liu Deyan was leaving, Qian Ruiming hurriedly spoke: "It's not that there is no other way, you might as well sit down and listen!" ”

Glaring at Qian Ruiming, Liu Deyan sat back down, looking a little impatient.

"The so-called unity, there is also a saying that the law does not blame the public, how many officials are there in the entire Jinling like us? How many are there in the whole Ming Dynasty? ”

"If this is called the Thirteenth Master to investigate like this, I am afraid that everyone inside and outside the government and the opposition will be in danger!"

"So what?" Liu Deyan asked coldly.

"We don't care about other places, as long as we gather people in Jinling and go directly to the palace to petition for the abolition of bad governance, we will definitely make the prince compromise under the momentum!"

"Why did the prince compromise?"

"Let's just say that the forcible inventory will inevitably lead to the boiling of public resentment, and the place is in danger of change.

Hearing this, Liu Deyan felt that it was slightly feasible, and he asked with a relaxed expression: "But what we have done, the people in the court are not blind, and Your Majesty is even more holy and bright, inciting the people to riot...... It's a capital offense! ”

"You don't have to worry about the court, someone will help us speak!"

"Who?" Liu Deyan looked scrutinizing.

Pouring himself wine, Qian Ruiming replied with a smile: "Who else can there be!" ”

nodded, the answer was self-evident, and Liu Deyan did not continue to ask.

After clinking glasses with Liu Deyan, Qian Ruiming continued: "In fact, it's not just Lord Rui, there are many people in the court who don't want to make trouble in the local area, and they will also speak for us!" ”

"Really?"

"If the money and food don't count, what's the problem? In addition to the officials who are greedy for ink, do you want to check the land? Do you want to check the population? ”

Pointing to the sky, Qian Ruiming said with a solemn expression: "Now that Xie Ge is old, the cabinet battle is becoming more and more intense......

"Zhao Ge is determined to innovate, and these things may be used to play ......"

Combining the big accounts of the imperial court with the small accounts of the local government, this is the performance of excellent local officials, and Qian Ruiming is undoubtedly exceptionally good.

"In that case, why don't you talk about it from Lord Zheng and Lord He?" Liu Deyan said in a deep voice.

"I've been there for Master Zheng, but I was blocked back before I could say anything!" Speaking of this, Qian Ruiming was extremely unhappy, and he went down with another glass of wine.

Nodding, Liu Deyan said helplessly: "I also went to see Master He the day before yesterday, but he had a businesslike attitude, I really don't know what they think!" ”

Qian Ruiming said: "They have their own concerns, so they can only say differently!" ”

Only relatively clean people can choose to do business, otherwise they would have been the same as them.

mentioned the judge, Liu Deyan suddenly remembered something.

"Today, according to the judge, there was a case, and the eldest young man of the Xue family sued Hu Jin'an, the official of Yingtian, saying that he bullied the good and extorted money!"

Such a strange thing happened at this juncture, which immediately aroused Qian Ruiming's association.

Of course, he is a smart person, and he didn't need Liu Deyan to remind him that things were not simple.

The two chatted for a while, and finally reached an agreement, and the next thing was to pull people in.

"Eleven prefectures and seventy-two counties in Jinling, everything that can be pulled in must be pulled in, the more people we have, the safer we are!"

Standing up, Liu Deyan arched his hand and said: "In this way, you are south and I are north, each doing its own thing!" ”

"That's good, when will I petition?" Qian Ruiming said solemnly.

Liu Deyan thought about it for a while, and then said: "Three days later, gather in Jinling, and then act with the camera!" ”

"That's it!" Qian Ruiming said in a deep voice.
