high official

Chapter 478
However, this also has side effects. The bad relationship between Ji Gang and the prince is not unrelated to the existence of Zhang Yong, the prince's brother-in-law.

"Be careful that Zhang Yong and Wang Xian hook up." Zhuang Jing said worriedly.

"Master Zhuang, you should be too careful. Zhang Yong has long been a useless person for raising flowers, walking birds and playing with women all these years. How dare he stand out? My old king will clean him up!" Another fierce general under Ji Gang's command The man named Wang Qian yelled angrily, "I'm going to eat at his house tonight, and ask him to be careful!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, just go, don't use the banner of this seat." Ji Gang glared at Wang Qian, but acquiesced to his thoughts, and said seriously: "The current seat of Beizhen Fusi is a brazier. Otherwise, Zhu Liu wouldn't have left so happily. He didn't have any good intentions in recommending Wang Xian. He disgusted you on the one hand, and he didn't think Wang Xian would be unlucky."

"The governor is right," Zhang Chun nodded and said in agreement, "I heard that the emperor handed over the case of fire outside the Meridian Gate to Wang Xian, and the time limit is three days to solve the case." He couldn't help laughing and said, "In three days, He can't even find the door of the Zhenfusi, so what can he use to solve the case."

Everyone laughed strangely when they heard the words, but soon Ji Gang's face darkened, and the laughter stopped abruptly. Zhang Chun asked cautiously, "What's wrong with the old ancestor?"

Ji Gang seemed to have something hard to say, and after a while he slowly said: "Don't be careless, all of you, keep an eye on him, and be careful not to capsize in the gutter."

"Yes, don't worry, old ancestor!" Everyone hurriedly patted their chests to reassure.

"Go and do what you should do." Ji Gang usually likes to be lively, but today he feels that the chaos is very annoying, the birds and beasts scattered around, and in a blink of an eye there are only Zhuang Jing and Ji Gang left in the hall, both of them are together serious face.

"Is the governor worried?" Zhuang Jing was also a scholar, he was highly regarded by Ji Gang, and he discussed all confidential matters with him, "What about the fire?"

"That's right, if Zhu Liu took over the case, everything would be easy to talk about." Ji Gang frowned and said: "But Cheng Yaojin was killed halfway, who knows if Wang Xian, who is as fine as a ghost, will see anything! "

"It shouldn't be so, the scene of the fire has been cleaned up, how else can he investigate." Zhuang Jing said slowly: "Besides, we didn't start the fire, how rich his imagination is to be able to contact us? "

"But those damned North Koreans ran away." Ji Gang frowned even tighter. "Now it's impossible to hunt them down with a big fanfare. It's always a hidden danger."

"The governor is worried that they will fall into Wang Xian's hands?" Zhuang Jing said: "It doesn't matter, Wang Xian is just an outsider, but our spies are all over the capital, and we will definitely find them before him."

"Well, step up the search secretly, and don't expose it." Ji Gang said depressedly: "At this juncture, there must be no more mistakes."

"Is the governor worried about the emperor's attitude?" Zhuang Jing asked again.

"Yes." Ji Gang stood up. He is a typical Shandong man with a very high stature. The problem of the King of Han, but the board hit me." Just now in front of his disciples and grandchildren, he had an expression of complete control, but now that there were no outsiders, he revealed the worry in his heart.Angrily said: "It's useless for a slave to be loyal, after all, he can't escape the life of killing a chicken to show the monkey!"

"Why is the governor so worried?" Zhuang Jing said: "No matter how dissatisfied the emperor is with the King of Han, he can't punish him now. Otherwise, won't the whole world laugh at him?"

"Oh?" Ji Gang is so smart, he said clearly: "You mean, the emperor's punishment of the King of Han now proves that the Shanxi incident has something to do with the King of Han..." He said with a mocking expression: "If the world knows, the emperor will The king of Han who loves me the most is actually cutting off my father's life, why don't you laugh at the emperor's blindness?"

"That's right." Zhuang Jing Nianxu smiled and said, "So if the emperor doesn't punish the King of Han now, it doesn't mean that the King of Han will be fine. Similarly, the fact that the emperor gave the governor this time doesn't mean that the governor will be fine."

"Well, what you said is very reasonable." Ji Gang nodded and praised: "However, the emperor's visit also made me secretly vigilant. The birds are exhausted, the good bows are hidden, the cunning rabbits are dead, and the lackeys are cooked. Mao Xiang and Jiang Xian This is a lesson for me!" Mao Xiang and Jiang Xian are Ji Gang's two predecessors, both of whom set off major cases during the Hongwu period, the former created the Hu Weiyong case, and the latter investigated the Lan Yu case, and became famous for a while. , is not inferior to today's Ji Gang.But in the end, they were all executed by Emperor Hongwu and used as scapegoats to appease public anger.Ji Gang's path is very similar to those of the two. He gained his power today by purging Jianwen against the party and constantly eradicating dissidents for the emperor.But now seeing the chaos in the country and the disappearance of the old party of the previous dynasty, Ji Gang already feels useless.

For ordinary military generals, they can also put their swords and guns into the warehouse, put their horses on Nanshan, and enjoy the rest of their lives as a rich man.However, Ji Gang knew very well that a person like himself who had borne thousands of infamy for the emperor would not be able to go down safely, because he still had the final use value—that is, to bear infamy for the emperor.This point, since Chen Ying was executed a few years ago, he has been soberly aware of it.

It was also from then on that Ji Gang was no longer the former cruel official who only knew how to kill people for the emperor, and he began to plan more for himself.Only then did he move closer to the King of Han.The temperament is also more gloomy and suspicious, and every move of the emperor about him will arouse his fear and suspicion...

"It's useless to worry, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain." Zhuang Jing comforted the lord: "After all, the emperor is still a nostalgic person, and now he still trusts the governor. Even if there is such a day in the future, we will not be like Mao. Like Jiang Xian, there is no power to resist."

"Yeah, we still need to strengthen our strength," Ji Gang nodded, and sighed irritably, "It's better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone else." It would be a big deal, and the two stopped talking tacitly.

.

Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. The prince is worried about moving the capital, the King of Han and Ji Gang are worried about the emperor's attitude, and Wang Xian is worried about the fire outside the Meridian Gate.Time was running out, and he didn't have time to visit Beizhen Fusi, so he took someone to Yingtianfu Yamen.

The fire scene on Yuqian Street has been cleaned up. If it wasn't for the blackened ground, it would have been impossible to tell that there was a big fire here last night.Therefore, the very important step after the fire case—surveying the scene is meaningless.Now we can only hope that Ying Tianfu, who has cleaned up the mess, can provide something of value.

In fact, it would be more appropriate to wait for the imperial decree to come down before going to Yingtianfu Yamen, but the time is too tight, and Wang Xian can't wait to finish the procedure.Otherwise, by the time the decree is obtained, it may take three days... Bite the bullet and come to the front of the government office, Wang Xian asked people to take his newly written name badge to pass the name.The officials of Yingtianfu saw that the ranking said 'Imperial Order Beizhen Fusi Town Fuwang', and couldn't help being shocked, it turned out to be the head of Beizhen Fusi!But after thinking about it, isn't the head of Beizhen Fusi Master Zhu Liu?When will Wang Zhenfu appear?But they still knew what was going on. Seeing that Wang Xian was wearing the uniform of a fourth-rank military officer, they hurried in to report, and invited him to have tea in the porter's room.

After a while, a fifth-rank civil official came out to welcome him, saying that Mr. Fu Yin has an invitation.Yingtian Mansion is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the rank of the governor is the third grade, which is much higher than that of the ordinary government.Xue Zhengyan, the Yin of Yingtian Mansion, is a very trusted minister of Emperor Yongle, and he is also famous for not forming a party, so he is nicknamed "Lonely Minister".

Now this forty-year-old lonely official with a clear face stood at the door of the living room, nodded to Wang Xian with a smile, and invited him in to take a seat. Fake, arrest me."

"Master Wang has such an identity, there is no reason to impersonate." Xue Zhengyan said with a faint smile: "I must have been ordered by the emperor to come here to investigate the fire case last night."

"Your Majesty Fu Yin is really good at predicting things." Wang Xian easily flattered him. He found that he really had the potential to be a chameleon. Without much effort, he transformed from a living bandit in Shanxi to a hypocritical and polite Beijing official.

"Missing praise, I just happened to see your lord enter the palace." Xue Zhengyan said honestly, "Your lord came in such a hurry, it should be the emperor's deadline to solve the case."

"Yes." This frank and sharp Xue Zhengyan actually made Wang Xian feel a lot of pressure.This pressure was comparable to that given to him by King Jin, and Zhang Chun had never made him feel it.

"Thank you, my lord," Xue Zhengyan said with a smile, "Your subordinate can hand over this burden."

"I ask Mr. Xue to be more considerate," Wang Xian said sincerely, "The lower official didn't even touch the door of the Fusi, and the Holy Spirit has three days to solve the case. Without the help of Mr. Xue, the lower official would never have been able to do it. "

"Hehe..." For Tianfu Yin, the most troublesome thing is Beizhen Fusi, because the powers and responsibilities of this yamen actually overlap with Yingtianfu's, and they have the independent power of arrest and trial, so they often violate Yingtianfu. .Now that Wang Xian actually asks Ying Tianfu, Xue Zhengyan is also happy to be human, and smiled at Wang Xian: "Since your lord said so, Ying Tianfu will naturally not stand by and watch."

"Thank you Mr. Xue, I will be rewarded with a generous reward in the future." Wang Xian clasped his fists and said.

"You don't need to be polite about your duties." Xue Zhengyan said with a smile, thinking that people of Juren's background are different, and they are much easier to deal with than Zhu Liu.It's just that I don't know if he will have such a speech when he sees Wang Xianhu's bandit side in the future.

"Excuse me, Mr. Xue, have you surveyed the fire site last night this morning?" Wang Xian asked.

"Naturally, we have to conduct a detailed survey before we can clean it up." Xue Zhengyan said, "If the fire scene wasn't in front of the Meridian Gate, we wouldn't have cleaned it up so hastily."

Hearing that there was something in his words, Wang Xian frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Xue first said to conduct a detailed investigation, and then said that the cleaning was hasty. Does it mean that he found some suspicious points?"

　There is one more! !Where are the monthly tickets? ! !
