Chapter 433 Disputes in Taichung
Although the emperor and empress dowager moved to live in Jianping Garden, but because Jianping Garden itself is not too big, many officials still can only stay in Taicheng to work.Fortunately, the distance between the two is not too far, and a fast lane has been laid, so it is convenient to travel.

In extraordinary times, things are expedient, and running back and forth may be tolerable, but the dust between the terraces and gardens is noisy, and many materials are piled up in a mess, which makes it almost impossible to calm down to work and do things.

Therefore, except for some particularly important ministries that cannot be absent, other ministers of Taiwan try to avoid living in Taicheng.Only when there are important matters to be discussed and decided, will they rush over.

This is the case today, starting early in the morning, after many officials went to visit the emperor and empress dowager, they changed careers and entered Taicheng.

Because it was too badly damaged, many areas of Taicheng had been surrounded by bamboo fences, and there were guards on both sides of the bamboo fences.On one side is the relatively complete Taicheng building, and on the other side are many craftsmen and laborers who are building it.

Because of what happened the day before yesterday, the number of guards in charge of guarding in Taicheng more than doubled, and they were not like those in other areas with military uniforms and bamboo spears, but elite troops with heavily armored troops.And with these fierce soldiers stalking the construction site, the laborers seemed to be cautious, with their heads lowered, not daring to look or speak.

Even so, in such a noisy environment, all the ministers felt as if they were being pins and needles, feeling uncomfortable all over, and they walked all the way under the guidance of the old guards.On the way, if you meet colleagues, you will go together and go to the front hall of Taiji. On the way, you will occasionally point to the messy city of Taicheng and express a few words, which have complicated meanings.

Between the terraces and gardens, the Tai Chi Hall is considered to be a relatively well-preserved building. Only the outer walls are occasionally damaged, or the wooden beams are blackened by fireworks. Although it does not look bright and majestic from the outside, the overall structure is still complete.

However, because a large number of forbidden artifacts that were dismantled in the garden were piled up on the left side, most of the Taiji Hall was also surrounded by bamboo fences, leaving only a front hall for discussion.

At this time, no less than a hundred people had gathered in the front hall of Tai Chi, and people were still arriving one after another.

Because it is not a normal performance and discussion, there is no need to abide by the etiquette and prohibition.Everyone has a seat, more like a gathering of private friendship.

The people who presided over this gathering were Tai Bao Wang Dao and Shang Shuling Wen Qiao, like Lu Ye, the doctor of Guanglu, and several senior servants, casual riders, etc., were also present. As for the atmosphere of the whole hall, it is very depressing.

At this time, Yin Chuhong of Danyang was holding a dossier in his hand, and was reading it aloud in the banquet. What he said was the attack on Xue Gu, the order of Tian, ​​​​the day before.Everyone listened attentively, with expressions of contemplation, anger, or sorrow, to name just a few.Xue Gu himself did not have a high reputation, but this incident touched the hearts of many people.

A majestic official from Taiwan was attacked and beaten by the rioters because of his aggressive words at the time, and even his finger bones were discounted!This is simply sensational!If this matter cannot be thoroughly investigated and severely punished, what is the majesty of the court?How can a minister be decent?If the ordinary people are arrogant because of this, they all follow this example, how can they govern the world in the future?

When Chu Chong read the confessions of those murderers, someone in the hall couldn't help gnashing their teeth and sneered: "The Taichung play is right, but the little people know it? With such defenseless inside and outside, can you sit still?"

Chu Chong closed the file, and said solemnly: "Those criminals are not ordinary people. They have needles hidden in their hair, and they are very determined to die. If they hadn't been checked carefully, they would have died violently in prison by now."

It was the first time for the majority of the crowd to hear this detail, and immediately there was a series of gasping sounds in the hall, and then one person said tremblingly: "How can Chu Yin find out the origin of these criminals? Why are they doing this? Who appointed it?"

Chu Chong shook his head after hearing the words: "It's not a civil lawsuit so far, and the county government can't ask about it. If you want to know the details, you have to wait for the court lieutenant to hear it."

"Why do you have to wait for the court lieutenant to interrogate? You all know why Xue Jitian had a grudge, and those criminals also said that they were resentful because of Xue Jitian's suggestion to go against the public..."

As soon as Chu Hong's words fell, someone in the table said in a deep voice, and his eyes were vaguely looking at Shen Ke who was also present in the hall.

Feeling the malicious look in the eyes, Shen Ke was already impatient and wanted to refute, but although the other party pointed something, he didn't say anything clearly. If he jumped out by himself, he would be suspected of asking himself.

"I don't know that Jiang has the ability to judge and judge. The court officer has not yet agreed, and he has gained income from the service. You may as well tell the gentlemen, who will appoint it? What does it mean? If you can explain clearly, you will be able to serve as a court officer. Why do you need to accompany the second seat!"

Shen Ke didn't speak up, but others were not polite. The first one to speak was Kuaiji Kongqun, with a strong sense of irony in his words, and the person who was refuted was Chen Liujiangshen, who worked as a doctor under Honglu.Being ridiculed so repeatedly, I was ashamed for a while.

Wen Qiao also said at the meeting: "Tingwei is in charge of the lawsuit. Before there is a result, you don't need to speculate too much, or hurt people's feelings."

"Then what if there is no result? Chu Yin also said earlier that those criminals have hidden needles and don't hesitate to die, so how can they reveal the details? If they want to die, no one can stop them. If they can't be judged, can they just keep going? So deadlocked?"

"If the Ting Wei can't make it out, can it be solved only by others' guesswork? Anyone who is wise can see that the matter is weird. After the murderer, why did they voluntarily surrender? After surrendering, why did they hide the sharp iron? Signs of killing? There are so many strange things that people can't understand, how can we say who is behind the scenes?"

For a while, there were endless disputes in the hall, each insisted on their own words, and the quarrel became a mess.

Wang Dao and Wen Qiao, who sat at the top, looked at each other with helplessness in their eyes.In addition to putting everyone in the court at risk, this incident has a bad effect, that is, before there is a result, it will make the courtiers more divided and have endless disputes.But if there is a result, it may cause greater turmoil.

The two of them are the candidates who are currently in charge of the situation in Taicheng, and they are really helpless in the face of this troublesome emergency.

Compared with Wen Qiao's headache, Director Wang felt even more dissatisfied, and that was the absence of Tingwei, who was the relevant party, in such a stalemate debate!Right now, Tingwei is Jiyin Bian Dun. When he was in Fangzhen in his early years, his behavior of avoiding war because of cowardice was outrageous, but after all, he was from a famous family, and he was recently recommended by Wang Dao as Tingwei.

The debate in the palace became more and more intense, and even Qiqing's words gradually became a little too much.At this moment, Jiang Shen, who was the first to speak, suddenly said sadly: "Everyone, be careful, have you forgotten why Xue Jitian suffered?"

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became weird. One side became even more annoyed, while the attitude of the other side became strange. One person sneered and said, "What is there to be afraid of a proud and brave man! Right now, there is still excuses, if you can Based on this, try to find out who the cunning walker is, and why die!"

Hearing this, the people on the other side's expressions became even more turbulent, especially the members of the Shen family who were targeted at the banquet, their faces turned livid with anger.

"Shut up all of you! Everyone here, you can be regarded as a virtuous man who was highly selected at the time, and everyone doesn't even know how to speak, so they want to make a noise and act like veterans in the battalion!"

Seeing that the verbal war was about to start again, Wen Qiao suddenly slapped the table in front of him and roared angrily.Although he is usually open-minded and humorous, he is also the one who leads the army to fight against the rebellion. Once he gets angry, he is still awe-inspiring, which makes people dare not ignore him.

But after shocking everyone, Wen Qiao didn't know what to say next. There was no conclusion yet on this matter, and the person involved was precisely Shen Zhezi, the captain-in-law who is now quite controversial.Both sides of the dispute have their own appeals and reasons, and neither party is willing to make concessions, which really gives him a headache.

Fortunately, Director Wang is good at handling this kind of situation. Taking advantage of the silence of the crowd, he said seriously in the table: "I don't want to hear about the case of Ting Wei. Xue Jitian, who was attacked, doesn't know how injured he is right now." ? Are there guards around the courtyard?"

Hearing this question, most of the people in the audience were taken aback.After they heard the news, after the initial astonishment, some were secretly happy, while others gradually became worried. As for what happened to that Xue Gu, not many people thought of going to see it.

After a while, Xi Zhong Ji Mu said: "I went to visit yesterday. Except for Mr. Xue's finger fracture, the rest is just a minor injury. It was just a sudden attack, and I still feel restless."

His Royal Highness, another court lieutenant stood up and said: "Yesterday, officials in the office went to Xue's mansion. Apart from taking care of them, they are also questioning Xue Jitian and his followers. Jitian's whereabouts were not determined in advance, and they acted impromptu. The mob who attacked What is going on, it is also being investigated. Once there is something, it will be immediately reported to the Taibao and the princes."

Director Wang nodded after hearing the words, told everyone not to engage in unnecessary disputes, and then stood up and left the stage.Then Wen Qiao also got up and left, and the rest of them also left one by one, but each had their own concerns, and their steps were a little heavy.

Not long after returning to the official office, Director Wang was still in a somewhat chaotic mood. The previous fierce dispute made him a little restless.It doesn't matter why this incident happened or what its nature is. He is most worried that someone will use this to expand the dispute, and even cause an uncontrollable chaos.

While he was meditating, suddenly someone from below came to report that it was Huang Menlang Ji You who asked to see him.

Director Wang has also heard about Ji You, and knows that this young man has a very close personal relationship with the son-in-law, so if he came to ask for an interview at this time, Director Wang should ask someone to invite him in quickly.

After Ji Youxing entered, he paid respects to Dao Wang first, and then said: "This time, I was entrusted by my son-in-law to visit the Taibao. My son-in-law has been living in the village for a long time, and I don't know anything new about it. I went to meet you yesterday. Only then did the son-in-law find out about this matter, and then the son-in-law asked his subordinates to report it to the Taibao. The son-in-law didn't know about it, but it was inevitable that people would criticize it. But this is a trivial matter, and the son-in-law was worried that the people in Duzhong might be agitated and cause chaos, so he had to Defend."

Hearing this, Director Wang already had feelings in his heart. Before that, he was deeply worried because of the depth of contradictions exposed by the mutual attacks of Taiwan officials. Unexpectedly, Shen Zhezi, who was far away from the capital, would be shocked as soon as he heard about it. Also aware of this issue.

Just because of his broad-mindedness and foresight, Director Wang believed that Shen Zhezi was not responsible for the attack on Xue Gu.He knew how much Shen Zhezi had put in for Zhang Luo's construction of the new capital, and he would never do such a thing that disrupted the stability of the situation out of a moment of anger.

To be honest, although Director Wang does not agree with Shen Zhezi's idea, he thinks that the relationship is too big and it is extremely difficult to balance the demands of all parties. If there is any negligence or accident, it is very likely to cause the overall collapse.But if it can be done, in fact, he is also happy to see it.

But this incident just confirmed Director Wang's worries.In the previous debate, it was not the Qingxu family who spoke the most fiercely, but the Danyang family whose interests had been victimized.Although Shen Zhezi had won over the Ji family and suppressed the Zhang family before, but the capital is located in this township, and the vitality of the Danyang family is also strong, it is impossible to remain silent.

They each have a reputation for their hometown. If they use this matter to stir up the people in the capital, the consequences will be unimaginable!
This incident was clearly framed. It is true that it may hit the Shen family and even the Wu people who have been active in the capital recently, but it is more likely to cause chaos!
　In the new week, ask for a recommendation ticket. . .
