Idle courtiers

Chapter 102 Thousand Households
Zhou Nan is no longer the master of the ceremonial house, and he doesn't bother to take care of the affairs of the yamen.

Suddenly, the leading man grabbed his hand and said with a smile, "Brother, you can't leave. You need to get a personal ID later."

Zhou Nan's strength can be considered great, but when it fell into his hands, it felt like being caught by a vise, and he was involuntarily brought into the ear room by him.

Suddenly three uninvited guests came, and everyone in the room was shocked.The magistrate of Zhan yelled sharply: "Who is so bold to trespass on the important place of the county government. Someone is here, someone is here, take them down for me!"

"Pfft!" The leader smiled, "Heavy ground, even a small county government dares to weigh it heavily. Is your place Hu Zongxian's or Tang Shunzhi's Jietang, or Gao Taiwei's Baihutang? Don't say it's your place, Even in the six yamen of the capital, my brother is on duty every day."

Hu Zongxian, the inspector and censor of Zhejiang Province, the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese War; Tang Shunzhi, the governor of Fengyang, the highest military and political officer in the north of the Yangtze River and the Lianghuai area.

Hearing what this person said, he didn't seem to take them seriously.

As they spoke, they let Zhou Nan go, and the three of them strode to the middle of the house, took off their bamboo hats, and pulled off their tattered cotton robes.

In an instant, there was a flash of light in front of my eyes, which almost blinded everyone's eyes.

However, all three of them were wearing flying fish suits, with embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists.

That's right, they are the famous Jin Yiwei who made the officials change their faces.

"You..." Zhan Zhixian stood up with a huff.

The leader was about 40 years old, with a Chinese face, and when he spoke, his white teeth were exposed. He held up his ivory waist plate and said, "I am Xia Yi, Qianhu, Fusi, Fusi, North Town, Jinyi Qinjun, and you are the magistrate of Zhan County?"

"Yes yes yes, Benben, I am the official. Dare I ask why the superior came to this county?" Zhan Zhixian was shocked and began to stutter.

As a member of the officialdom, he naturally knows what Jin Yiwei does.Generally speaking, when Jin Yiwei came to the door, usually nothing good would happen.

The composition of Jinyi's pro-military yamen is relatively complicated. The palm seal of the headquarters is the commander, the lower part is the commanding officer of the third rank, and the subordinate is the commander of the fourth rank.

It is divided into two departments under the headquarters, namely Beizhen Fusi and Nanzhen Fusi, referred to as Beiya and Nanya.The palm print is Zhenfu, and below Zhenfu is Qianhu.

The responsibilities of the northern and southern yamen are different. The southern yamen is in charge of discipline, similar to the military police of later generations.The Beiya is in charge of the prison, which is a secret service agency.

Beizhen Fusi was responsible for apprehending officials. In the Ming Dynasty, when officials mentioned Beiya, their expressions changed.Xia Yi, a thousand households in the Beiya, is a fifth-rank official, with a lot of power.

"Don't be afraid of Zhanzhi County, I'll just ask a few words." Xia Yi smiled, her white teeth flickering: "Just now I heard outside that you want to levy more, and use this money to repair the temple today, but Reality?"

Seeing that Zhixian Zhan was so trembling that he could hardly speak, he glanced at Zhou Nan again: "This little brother, isn't he?"

Zhou Nan has been watching this group of well-known Jinyiwei from the sidelines, but seeing that all three of them are tall and handsome, he secretly admires them.As expected of the emperor's guard of honor, he is really handsome.

Hearing his question, his heart moved, and he said, "Yes, the county magistrate has always said that he would persuade King Yu to be loyal and filial to the emperor. Our dynasty governs the country with loyalty and filial piety, and the county magistrate should be an example for officials in the world."

This eyedrop is a bit harsh, it's going to put people to death!At the juncture of life and death, Zhixian County Zhan yelled sadly: "Zhou, are you trying to kill this official? Xia Qianhu, this official has never said this, wronged, wronged!"

Xia Yi smiled, "Don't be afraid, magistrate of Zhan County, I just heard about this too. If there is no evidence, it cannot be done correctly."

The magistrate of Zhan County was overjoyed: "Thousand households will see clearly."

However, Zhou Nan was very disappointed. You must know that the Ming Dynasty’s speech control was very strict, so I couldn’t get rid of the surname Zhan. Am I wrong?

At this time, something happened that made Zhou Nan overjoyed.

Xia Yi suddenly turned her face away: "Zhanzhi County, I came here today to ask something else, please answer it truthfully."

Zhanzhi County: "What's the matter?"

Xia Yi: "Zhanzhi County, I heard that you went to Liaodong Town at the end of the year before last and the beginning of last year. I want to ask you, what did you do there? Also, I heard that you escorted the [-] horses newly distributed by the imperial court to the frontier soldiers. Army horses. Now, someone in Liaodong Town has sued you, saying that those horses are not only mares, but also unusable draft horses, is there such a thing?"

Hearing this, Zhan Zhixian was like a thunderbolt, and his whole body collapsed like a bag of rice: "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know anything!"

There was no more blood on his face, and his whole body was trembling non-stop.

Xia Yi sat down on the main seat, raised Erlang's legs, and said kindly: "You don't know anything, right? It's okay, you can think about it slowly. If you can't think about it today, think about it tomorrow. Can you think about it here?" Let’s go to the capital and think about it again! By the way, Zhanzhi County, your county has a mansion, do you arrange for us to live in it? I hit it off with the magistrate, and I invite you to accompany me.”

This is the official arrest of Zhanzhi County.

Poor county magistrate Zhan was taken by Jin Yiwei less than a month after he took office. There really isn't such a short-lived county magistrate in the world.Zhou Nan felt relieved watching it: retribution retribution!
In fact, everyone in the house can probably guess what Zhanzhi County committed.It must have taken advantage of Concubine Li's power to buy and sell military supplies, shoddy them as good ones, and finally things happened and it was over.

The pundits took another look at Zhou Nan, who couldn't keep smiling, and inexplicably had an idea in their hearts: First, the new policy of reforming the land into mulberry was completely abolished. Zhan Zhixian was arrested and imprisoned by Jin Yiwei.These two magistrates have one thing in common, they both have Zhou Nan as their master.

In addition, Mr. Mei, who was related to Zhou Nan, was poisoned.Even Niu Er, the owner of the restaurant where he often went to eat, was killed by an adulterer.

It can be seen that Zhou Zimu is a dead star this week, and whoever touches it will be unlucky.

Thinking of this, everyone was terrified and couldn't help keeping a distance from him.

……

Zhou Nan saw that everyone looked at him with fear, although he didn't know what to do, he felt proud and happy.

Regarding the matter of Liaodong army and horses, after the surname Zhan got the money, it is not necessary to think that he would definitely send a tribute to Prince Yu's mansion.

It's fine if he makes a fortune in silence, but once he gets involved in the palace.If it is taken out by someone with a heart and puts it on the line, it means that the vassal king has made friends with the border town.

This violated another big political taboo in the Ming Dynasty. Even if the palace could guarantee his surname Zhan, he would have no future to speak of.

Zhou Nan has always been worried that the magistrate of Zhan County will be unfavorable to him in the future, and now his heart disease is over.

Xia Yi smiled and looked at the county magistrate Zhan lying on the ground, and said, "Lord Zhan, I can't find the county mansion, so please lead the way...Why, you're being silly, why don't I ask someone else?"

Then he pointed to Zhou Nan: "Your name is Zhou Nan, a student from Andong County? Sure enough, you are a good-looking talent. Not bad, not bad. Seeing you reminds me of when I was studying in the school. In a flash, more than 20 years have passed , The day flies so fast, why don't you lead the way?"

Zhou Nan hated Zhan Zhixian deeply, so he was naturally happy to see his misfortune, so he cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Qianhu, please come with Xiaosheng."

The spring breeze was proud of the horseshoe disease, Zhou Nan walked very fast, and in a short while, he and the three Jinyi guards escorted Zhan Zhixian to the county mansion, and put the county magistrate, who had only been in office for less than a month, under house arrest in a room.

He also ordered the servants of the mansion to arrange the food and daily life of the relevant people. Seeing that everything was done, he cupped his hands at Xia Yi and said: "Xia Qianhu, I have other business, so I'll go back to work first. If you have orders, you can go to the ceremony room Pass me."

Zhou Nan was busy just now, Xia Yi stood aside and watched with a smile.

Seeing that he arranged everything in such a short period of time, he couldn't help but praise: "Master Zhou is really a capable official, not bad, not bad."

Complacent, Zhou Nan said with a smile, "I can't afford to be praised by thousands of households. In fact, I can't do it for a few days as a pawn."

Xia Yi nodded: "I've heard about you, Zhou Zimu, it's really a legend! You have gone through so many years of hardships, and you haven't been discouraged by it. It's rare, rare."

After complimenting Zhou Nan greatly, Xia Yi said again: "Zimuguo is an elegant man, I hit it off with you at first sight, you might as well stay in the mansion tonight, you and I will talk together at night."

After solving the Xuanzhen case, Zhou Nan was terrified when he heard the words "evening talk on the bed together".He hurriedly said: "Qianhu kept me, and I should have stayed. Unfortunately, there is a lion roaring in the east of the river, but he never dared to spend the night outside. Please forgive me."

"Unexpectedly, the dignified Zhou Zimu is also afraid of his wife like a tiger, what a real man." Xia Yi laughed loudly.

Suddenly, with a straight face, he shouted: "Jin Yiwei keeps guests, you dare not follow, take it down!"

Zhou Nan was shocked, and asked in astonishment: "Qianhu, what do you mean by this, and what have I committed, please explain?"

Xia Yi showed her snow-white teeth as usual, smiled harmlessly, and said: "I just liked you, so I want to keep you here. As for what you have committed, I will know when you are interrogated. Zhou Xiucai, come in." Bar!"

The reversal came too fast, like a tornado, I can't bear it, I have nowhere to escape, I don't want to, I don't want to.
