high official

Chapter 557
It's just a discussion. Seeing that it was getting dark, the British official declined Wang Xian's stay for dinner, and said lightly, "I will leave everything to you. I will take any responsibility." ’ So I asked Wang Xian to handle the specific errands, and I went home to eat leisurely.In the eyes of the Duke of England, who is used to seeing strong winds and waves, although the assassination of the King of Han is not a trivial matter, it is not a great event.

Of course, there is Wang Xian, who is praised by everyone, as his deputy, so that the Duke of the country can be completely at ease as the shopkeeper.Zhang Fu also believed that a young man like Wang Xian would definitely not like to have layman bosses telling him what to do.Simply sell him a favor and let him watch and toss by himself.

British Duke’s decision is very famous. Although it’s the first time I met Wang Xiancai, from his past experience, he knows that he is a person with a strong desire for power and control. Handling the relationship between the two of them in this way is undoubtedly better than saying ten thousand good words. All can win Wang Xian's favor.

Wang Xian also had no choice but to do nothing about the fact that the British government was letting go of the shopkeeper, and he also felt that it would be convenient to do so.They asked people to prepare documents for arrest at sea, and ordered the states and counties under the jurisdiction of Yingtianfu to block water and land transportation, and notified the local governments to escort the masters of bows and arrows to Beijing, etc., and wrote Yingtianfu, ordering them to assist the Zhenfu Division in searching the capital!
Although he knew that this would not be effective, but the momentum must be sufficient, otherwise how would he show the emperor's concern for the King of Han, and how would he show that the court attached great importance to this case?As for whether it is irresponsible for the country's finances to spend so much manpower and material resources, this has never been a question that the secret service should consider.

At this time, the sky was completely dark, and the blazing torches and bright lanterns on the large lawn in the Zhenfusi courtyard illuminated the courtyard as bright as white ground.

Officials from more than one hundred households in the Fusi of Beizhen all lined up in the courtyard solemnly, looking ahead. There was only the occasional 'cracking' sound when the torches were burning in the air, and there was no movement at all in the rest.Although it has only been in office for more than a month, the current Beizhen Fusi is no longer the old one. All dissident officers have been purged out, and all rights are firmly in the hands of the internal and external signings. The newly promoted officers are all A group of people who were excluded and denied promotion in the past, these people are full of gratitude to Wang Xian, even more fanatical than his cronies in the signing room.

Wang Xian was dressed in a crimson military uniform with a regimental collar and narrow sleeves, a short-winged black gauze hat on his head, a large black velvet cape on his shoulders, and Jin Yiwei's iconic embroidered spring knife on his waist.The flames were blatant, making his face more and more defined, and his facial features were as sharp as a knife.Wang Xian's whole figure was straight and stood still, only the index finger of his right hand resting on the handle of the knife was lightly knocking on the handle of the knife silently.

The governor was obviously waiting for something. After a while, he heard a rush of footsteps, but none of the officers turned their heads.The person who came seemed to pass through a row of wooden stakes, and said in a low voice to Wang Xian at the bottom of the steps: "There is a decree! The king of Han was assassinated, and the mediocre people in Yingtianfu and Jiangning counties were duty-bound. They ordered the Fusi of Beizhen to arrest the criminals and put them in prison for questioning." Is there any matter of colluding with bandits and harming the prince!"

"I would like to obey the imperial edict." Wang Xian quickly took the edict with both hands, checked it under the light, and said to the eunuch who delivered the edict: "May I ask if you will go back and reply to the edict, or stay as a supervisor?"

"I don't dare to be a supervisor," the eunuch said politely, "but the gate of the palace is locked now, we can't go back anyway, so let's go with your lord."

"Okay, please come this way." Wang Xian moved a step to the side, let the eunuch stand side by side with him, and then said to his subordinates in a cold voice: "The mission of the three offices has changed. The officials will catch it and talk about it later."

"Yes!" Zhou Yong yelled together with the people from the three places, saluted Wang Xian, then turned around and went out, leading his Jin Yiwei out of the courtyard gate in a gust of wind.

The people to be arrested left, Wang Xiancai asked the eunuch, "Originally, the whole city was to be searched, but now the officials of Yingtian Mansion are all sent to prison. I wonder who the emperor will let him be in charge for the time being?"

"Hehe, it's Governor Xue." The eunuch smiled and said, "Minister Xue was closed at home thinking about his mistakes because of a fire on the Shangyuan Festival before, but he escaped this calamity. Now the emperor is furious, and the officials on the ground of Yingtian Mansion are smashed to the end. We can only let his old man come back again."

"That's a good relationship." Wang Xian was also relieved: "With Xue Fu Yin coming out of the mountain, the hope of solving the case is greatly increased."

.

Overnight, the people in the capital felt the emperor's thunder and wrath. Teams of Jinyiwei officers and soldiers wearing leather boots, as well as Yingtianfu officials in red uniforms, rudely knocked on the door of each house, a little slowly. , the door was kicked open, and then the soldiers rushed in, controlled everyone, and ordered them to stretch out their hands to check.At the same time, Ying Tianfu officials and Baojia called the names one by one. As long as there was no name on the household registration book, those who were not recognized by Baojia, and those with calluses on their fingers, they were all taken away.

During this night, Zhen Fusi and Ying Tianfu arrested countless people, filling up Ying Tianfu's big prison, and finally had to find an empty warehouse as a temporary cell to solve the problem of overcrowding in the prison.

That night, people in the capital were panicked, and no one fell asleep.When it was dawn, they found that the gates of the city were closed and all water and land passages were blocked.The situation outside the capital is not much better. The officials and soldiers of the guards in various states and counties have been mobilized to block water and land transportation. Everyone is not allowed to pass without leading the way. All the calloused people were taken into custody and sent to Beizhen Fusi.

In the surrounding prefectures farther away, although the atmosphere is not so tense, the government has begun to suppress the Jianghu, and those gangs, big and small, are all unlucky.
In a word, because of the assassination of the King of Han, both inside and outside the capital have entered a highly tense state of martial law. The government has only one rule of conduct, that is, high-pressure raids, rather than letting go!
There was sudden turmoil inside and outside the capital, the number of pedestrians on the street was reduced by half, and even the business of shops was greatly affected. Although Xue Juzheng, who was in charge of the governor, felt distressed... the prosperity of Nanjing City was soaked in so much effort!But he was reinstated because of the assassination case of the King of Han, how could he be good-looking if he got the advantage?What's more, through this big sweep, I don't know how many vicious criminals were caught, and even some malignant gangs were uprooted, which can be regarded as an unexpected gain.So he kept silent all the time, and he would do whatever the Zhen Fusi asked him to do.

But Xue Juzheng could see it, but the censors couldn't stand it anymore. If they hadn't had a tacit ally with Wang Xian, they would have already impeached him for abusing his power and harming the people.But they couldn't pretend to be deaf and dumb. After some discussion, they sent Yang Yan, the capital of the criminal department, to make peace with Wang Xian.

Speaking of which, the Criminal Division supervises the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and Beizhen Fusi, which can be regarded as the supervision department of Beizhen Fusi.However, Beizhen Fusi had always regarded himself as the emperor's order before, and never cared about the criminal department. It was after Wang Xian came to power that he began to buy face from the criminal department. Wang Xian is still quite fond of it.

That day Wang Xian was preparing to go out in the yamen, when he heard that Section Chief Yang was coming, he walked out to greet him personally, took Yang Yan's hand affectionately and said with a smile: "Rare customers, rare customers, welcome to guide us."

Although it was strange to hear Wang Xian's words, Yang Yan could still hear that he was flattering himself, so he smiled and said, "Where is it? It's because your company sent too many driving invitations, and the criminal department has too many staff members. It’s too little, I’m really too busy, so I have to make a trip.”

"The chief of the section will let the people below pick it up." Wang Xian said while glancing at Wu Wei beside him, "Didn't they let people stay in the criminal department [-]/[-]?"

"It's also because there are too many driving posts," Wu Wei explained in a low voice, "It is inevitable that there will be times when the front and rear legs cannot be connected."

"Then send more people, and ask Section Chief Yang to go there himself, it's outrageous!" Wang Xian reprimanded.

"Oh, Wang Zhen's words are too serious," Wu Wei knew that Wang Xian was acting, so he hurriedly nodded with 'sincerity and fear'.Seeing this, Section Chief Yang quickly waved his hands and said, "It's nothing to run errands." He said with a smile, "Besides, I really have something to do, so I need to make peace with you."

"Come inside." Wang Xian asked Section Chief Yang to sit down in the living room, served tea, and then asked seriously: "I don't know what advice the Section Chief has?"

"I can't talk about enlightenment," because the matter is full of stinky stones. Because Section Chief Yang has to deal with the chiefs of various yamen, his words are still pleasant, but only a little pleasant, "I just want to ask your lord , have you posted too many driving posts in the past two days?"

"It's an extraordinary time, it's inevitable." Wang Xian said with a smile when he heard the words: "His Royal Highness was assassinated, and the emperor was furious. If we don't arrest a few more people, how can we appease the Holy Wrath?"

"Having said that, there are really too many people to be arrested," Yang Yan said patiently, "Many people can't be assassins at all, but they are never heard from after they are arrested by the government. The people in the capital are unbearable. The family members were taken away by the government, and if things go on like this, there will be trouble."

"My Section Chief Yang," Wang Xian said with a helpless smile, "I don't care about the common people at this time, I have to care about the emperor first!" This kind of words can't be said by ordinary scholars, but Wang Xian said it without hindrance.He said sternly, "If Mr. Ling was almost killed, how would the section chief feel?"

"Of course I'm very angry." Yang Yan said: "But I also know that there is a wrong and a debt, and it will not affect the innocent."

"The problem is that the enemy is hiding, and I can't find it for a while." Wang Xian spread his hands and said, "I can only cast a net like this."

"If you can't find it, you should find a way to find it, instead of affecting innocent people." Yang Yan said.

"That's the reaction of us ordinary people. But the emperor is the emperor, and the wrath of the emperor will lay down millions of corpses and bleed for thousands of miles!" Wang Xian said in a deep voice: "Now the emperor entrusts this case to us ministers, we can only Try to calm down the emperor, if the emperor is not satisfied and wants to personally intervene in this case, then it is not arresting people, but killing people!"
