"Oh...... Where are they? ”

Ke Qing replied: "Early this morning, my father and he found someone to spread the word, saying that they had entrusted the prince's Hongfu, and now they are working in the Wuwei Mansion!" ”

This is by no means polite, if it weren't for Zhu Jinghong's face, how could the Gansu Political Secretary care about the two little officials, let alone make a special trip to transfer them to the Wuwei Mansion.

Zhu Jinghong said calmly: "Since you are in Wuwei County, then send someone to call them and meet you!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang!" Ke Qing is happy.

Taking it into his arms, Zhu Jinghong said with a smile: "If you want to thank me, you can't just say it with your mouth!" ”

"Then please ask the prince to teach the concubine, how to thank you for your kindness?" Ke Qing lay in Zhu Jinghong's arms, raised his head and asked in a coquettish voice.

Fingers touched her cherry mouthful, Zhu Jinghong lowered his head and said with a smile: "Of course I use it!"

"Huh?" Keqing was a little surprised, and in an instant she understood something, and her face suddenly turned red.

"I ......"

"If you don't speak, you're willing, and there's nothing going on right now, even if you agree!"

After that, Zhu Jinghong didn't wait for Keqing to reply, picked her up horizontally and walked to the back room.

And Yu Hai, who was outside the room, consciously ordered someone to go to the Wuwei Mansion and invite Qin Ye's father and son here.

Besides, on the Governor's Office's side, Ning Huanxiang sent Wang Pei'an away, but his face was not very good-looking.

He knew that part of the people's "wages" were greedy, but he just wanted to remind some people to stop in moderation, and he didn't mean to dig deeper.

This also means that Wang Pei'an's impartial attitude is in conflict with Ning Huanxiang's intentions.

However, Wang Pei'an did not deviate from the Da Ming Law in three sentences, and he was also ordered to inspect the place, so that Ning Huanxiang had no way to refuse his request.

"Lord Governor, this man is frivolous and unreasonable, you can't let him come nonsense!"

The person who spoke was Guo Qiyun, the political envoy of Gansu, who had only arrived two months ago as the political secretary, so naturally he did not want to be disturbed by others under his rule.

On his side, it was Fu Anton, the envoy of Gansu, who also answered: "That's exactly the case...... Things here are messy enough, we can't let him make any more trouble for us! ”

After listening to the words of these two people, Ning Huanxiang showed dissatisfaction and said: "There is no wind and no waves...... It's not because someone is greedy for money that these things happen! ”

I only heard the political envoy Guo Qiyun say: "My lord, this matter involves a lot, but it's not just someone who is greedy for ink......

Of course, Ning Huanxiang knew that things were not simple, and if he really wanted to strictly investigate, it might not only be the officialdom in Gansu, but also all the way to the imperial court and the six ministries.

After so many years in officialdom, Ning Huanxiang understands that the so-called officialdom is a net, and everyone is related to each other on this net.

Fu Anton, the envoy of the inspectorate, continued: "Your Excellency, if you let it go on with nonsense, I am afraid that it will cause panic in the people, and it will not be conducive to the overall situation of counterinsurgency!" ”

"Exactly!" Guo Qiyun also spoke.

"I said you two, what you need to do now is to fill in the gaps, not talk nonsense to me!"

"People have a will, according to my law, what can I do?" Ning Huanxiang said expressionlessly.

At this time, Guo Qiyun said with a smile: "My lord...... As long as we work together, he alone can wait for me! ”

Obviously, the little prince's mansion chief and historian were not taken seriously by these feudal officials.

"It's just one thing, I don't know if this person is acting now, whether His Royal Highness King Xiang knows about it......"

Glancing at Ning Huanxiang, Fu Anton continued: "If it is convenient for the Governor, you may be able to go and meet His Highness to ask what is going on!" ”

Hearing this, Ning Huanxiang glanced at Guo Fu and the others, and when he saw that the two of them were embarrassed, he sneered: "This is a local matter in Gansu, you two want to push it all to me, the Holy Lord ordered me to come here to command the battle, not to care about you bullshit!" ”

"How things should be done, you can decide for yourself, anyway, whoever makes a mistake on their side, I just have to ask whose guilt!"

"If you two have nothing else to do, let's do it ourselves!"

The last sentence is equivalent to sending off the guests, and Guo Fu and the others can only say goodbye and leave with interest.

They understood what Ning Huanxiang meant, this was putting all the responsibility on them, and asked them to settle things, no matter what method they used.

"Do you really want us to go to His Royal Highness King Xiang?" Fu Anton couldn't help but ask.

If Wang Pei'an has Zhu Jinghong's support behind him, then they must be measured in their use of means, otherwise they will be doomed if they offend Zhu Jinghong.

"Of course we can't go by ourselves, it's best to choose someone from below and choose the right person to go!" While speaking, Guo Qiyun thought about who to let go.

The two of them walked out in silence, and after a while, a flash of inspiration flashed in Fu Anton's mind, and he said, "I have someone to choose ......."

"Who?"

"Do you still remember that the former Ministry of Works, Langzhong Qin Ye, was a few days ago...... The one you transferred to Wuwei County! ”

Guo Qiyun nodded, of course he remembered such a special person as Qin Ye.

"That's right...... It is indeed appropriate to use this person to test His Royal Highness King Xiang! ”

"Then I'm going to command?" Fu Anton said in a deep voice.

Guo Qiyun shook his head and said, "Don't worry...... Wait for two days, this matter should be carefully arranged, and it is best not to involve us! ”

"That's just as well!"

When the two of them were discussing secretly, Qin Ye and his son had already received a rumor and were bathing and changing their clothes to meet Zhu Jinghong.

Although he is just a small official, because of his special relationship with Zhu Jinghong, even the prefect of Wuwei is waiting for him outside at the moment.

When changing clothes, Qin Zhong couldn't help but ask: "Dad, can you use His Royal Highness King Xiang to get us away from this place with the help of His Royal Highness King Xiang this time!" ”

Compared with the original handsome appearance, Qin Zhong seems to have changed now, and he looks much more stable.

Although he was courteous here, the bitter cold land in the northwest could not compare to the scenery of the Central Plains.

Qin Ye sighed and said, "Your sister has not yet given birth to a boy and a half girl, and she has no foundation to live in the palace, let's not embarrass her!"

"If we can have the opportunity now, we will already be stained with your sister's light, how can we be dissatisfied!"

"Yes!" Qin Zhong replied, he could only give up on such thoughts.

After the two finished cleaning up, they rushed to Zhu Jinghong's place under the leadership of the eunuch.

Normally, they wanted to meet Zhu Jinghong first, but they were dismissed by the latter.

This made Qin Zhong's father and son breathe a sigh of relief, seeing Zhu Jinghong would bring them great pressure, and it was not a bad thing not to see him.

So they could only wait in the wing, and after waiting for about two moments, Ke Qing appeared in front of these two people.

"Father's ......"

Standing at the door, looking at his long-lost father, Keqing was so excited that he couldn't move.

"Ke'er......" Qin Ye's tone was also choked, and he saw him get up and walk towards his daughter.

Seeing his father approaching, Ke Qing stepped into the threshold and knelt in front of his father and kowtowed.

"Unfilial daughter to meet her father!"

"Get up, get up!" Qin Ye stepped forward to support his daughter.

Qin Zhong on the side also greeted him and saluted Ke Qing according to his courtesy.

After the ceremony, Ke Qing carefully looked at Qin Ye's father and son, and couldn't help crying when he saw that the two of them were full of vicissitudes.

"Father...... You have suffered! Keqing's tears kept falling.

Qin Ye sighed and said, "Thanks to you, otherwise for my father and Zhong'er, I don't know if I have a life!" ”

At this time, Qin Zhong also asked: "Sister, after you entered the palace, did you have a good time?" ”

………………

Since Qin Ye and his son met Keqing, five days have passed in a blink of an eye, and a lot of things have happened in these two days.

First of all, the local civil and military officials in Gansu, as well as the officials from Sichuan and Shaanxi, arrived together, and Ning Huanxiang convened them to discuss the matter and carefully arranged for them to do a good job in logistics supply.

Secondly, the local officials in Gansu also sensed that Wang Pei'an wanted to make trouble, and spontaneously joined forces to put up resistance on him.

However, Wang Pei'an is not very human, he does not care about his own safety and honor at all, and he investigated and visited everywhere within two days, which really allowed him to find out a lot of things.

In the end, he sent the collected evidence of official corruption to the Gansu Governor Yushi Yamen, as well as the Northwest Supervisor Yushi Liang Qian, and of course, the Northwest Governor Ning Huanxiang.

When the evidence is conclusive, the three yamen can only deal with it impartially.

As a result, two prefects were dismissed from their posts, three more were dismissed and imprisoned, and sixteen scribes were imprisoned.

And this is only the situation in Wuwei Prefecture, and Wang Pei'an, another prefecture and county in Gansu, has not yet investigated, and there are already such "fruitful" results.

The consequence of this is that the news that everyone in the officials is in danger, which disrupts the normal office directors.

In order to quell the rebellion, under the joint instructions of Ning Huanxiang and Liang Qian, the case was transferred to the Gansu Prosecutor.

Originally, the matter ended here, but Wang Pei'an was not at all, and he was stationed in the name of overseer, which really made Fu Andong uncomfortable.

"Lord Wang, this matter has its own cooking, you better do your own job!"

According to the judge's yamen, Fu Andong was holding a teacup, holding the lid of the cup and fiddling with the tea leaves, but his eyes were extremely sharp staring at Wang Pei'an.

"How many times do you have to reiterate it? The lowly duty is to inspect the place by order, and now that there are major cases disturbing the place, how can the lowly duty turn a blind eye! Wang Pei'an said with a serious expression.

Suppressing his anger, Fu Anton said in a deep voice: "Many things are important, and the most important thing is ...... It is the great cause of counterinsurgency in the northwest! ”

"Investigating the case with a humble position and avenging the grievances of the people who transported grain is also for the great cause of quelling the rebellion!"

After finishing this sentence, Wang Pei'an continued: "The reason why the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved is clear, and if the people who transport the grain are resentful, how can they ensure that the military grain arrives on time?" ”

"If the lord guarantees that there will be no more troubles in Minzhuang, the lowly can no longer investigate this case!"

As an envoy, Fu Anton knows very well how greedy the people below are, so he really can't guarantee that Minzhuang won't make trouble.

"If the lord can guarantee that he will play the court on his own, he will no longer interfere in the handling of cases according to the judge!"

Hearing this, Fu Andong put the teacup back on the table, snorted coldly and got up and left the lobby.

Since this Wang Pei'an is so unpopular, then he can only do extraordinary means, so he has to discuss with Guo Qiyun next.

And Fu Anton's reactions are also easy for Wang Pei to think with peace of mind, maybe this one is also related to the corruption case.

So next, he had to carefully investigate and interrogate, collect evidence and continue to dig deeper.

The people have already suffered to such a field, but the local officials are still knocking on the bones and sucking the marrow, which Wang Pei'an can never bear.

In the blink of an eye, another day passed, and within the Wuwei Mansion, Qin Ye and his son were in trouble.

As scribes, they have had a lot of accounts since they joined the company, but they found a mistake in the inventory yesterday.

"Two, according to the meaning of that Lord Wang, if you lack thousands of stones of grain in your hands, you will be in great trouble!"

In front of the Qin family's father and son, it was Duan Zheng, the official of Wuwei Mansion, who was analyzing the situation seriously at this moment.

The father and son of the Qin family couldn't understand how there was a thousand stone of grain missing from the good account, and they counted each batch of grain before it was put into storage, and only after confirming that it was correct did they sign the paperwork.

"Alas...... In fact, this is not to blame you, the military rations and the subsidized people's strong grain share the warehouse, and the frequent transfer in and out is dense, and if you are not careful, you will be mixed! ”

"It would be fine if our yamen found out, but today the one came to check the accounts, and the matter will be a big deal......" Speaking of this, Duan Zheng also pretended to sigh.

"Lord Duan, you have to help us!" Qin Zhong was anxious.

He should indeed be in a hurry, and he made a big mistake with a guilty body, which was almost self-defeating.

"Alas...... The man surnamed Wang doesn't even give him face according to the judge, how can I help you! Duan Zheng sighed again.

At this time, Qin Ye couldn't help but speak: "I have checked the accounts with my father, there will be absolutely no mistakes, please help you ......"

"Did you really check it carefully? Nothing goes wrong? Duan Zheng changed his tone.

"There is no mistake!" Qin Ye said firmly.

"I can't help you, but I can show you the way!" Duan Zheng said.

"Please make it clear!" Qin Zhong spoke again.

"That Wang Pei'an is the head of the Xiangwang Mansion, you may ask His Royal Highness the Xiangwang for help in this matter, just need him a word...... You'll be fine! Duan Zheng said calmly.

It's not that Qin Ye's father and son haven't thought about this method, but they really don't want to embarrass Keqing, so they haven't thought about taking this road.

As if knowing their concerns, Duan Zheng continued: "If you suffer, I'm afraid that you will also implicate Ling Yan, without further ado!" ”

When it came to this, Qin Ye's father and son had no choice, because their original purpose, or their only hope, was to ensure Keqing's safety.

Seeing that the two of them were still thinking, Duan Zheng continued: "The two of you...... If you delay any longer, I am afraid that the matter will be irreparable! ”

"Zhong'er, let's go see your sister now!"

Seeing that Qin Ye's father and son were leaving, Duan Zheng immediately stopped him and said, "Don't worry, let's go later!" ”

"My lord, without further ado......" Qin Ye said with a solemn face, he was really afraid of delaying it now.

He was also a person in the officialdom, and he had seen all kinds of officials when he was in the Ministry of Industry, but he had never seen a ruthless person like Wang Pei'an.

Under the banner of the political secretary, the judge patrolled the yamen to handle the case, and he didn't even give face to the governor's palace, so straightforward that he had never heard of it.

Therefore, when Youzhi County was put in prison by this person, Qin Ye was really difficult to calm down.

"Tonight, Lord Guo, the chief secretary of the political department, will have a banquet for His Royal Highness King Xiang in Lanyue Tower, and the civil and military officials on the ground in Gansu will be present, and this official is fortunate to ...... Tonight is also invited! ”

"I guess you also know that Gansu has long been complaining about that Lord Wang's reckless behavior!"

Walking up to Qin Ye, Duan Zheng patted him on the shoulder, said with a warm smile: "You go with me tonight, when you explain the reason, I will definitely contact a group of colleagues to support you, and then His Royal Highness King Xiang only needs to push the boat down the river, and your troubles will pass!" ”

Although he always felt that things were unusual, Qin Ye couldn't say that there was anything wrong, so he could only nod his head.

After Qin Ye's father and son retreated, the smile on Duan Zheng's face had disappeared without a trace, and he was also under great pressure when he told Qin Ye about this.

With Qin Ye's incident, Zhu Jinghong made his attitude public, if such an inside story spread, it was possible for him Duan Zheng to be killed on the spot.

However, he had to take over this errand, who made Wang Pei'an's next target, he was the official of Wuwei Mansion.

I hope that tonight, King Xiang is willing to return to protect the Qin family father and son, so that I can win life...... Duan Zheng thought so in his heart.
