Chapter 17 Chapter 122 Gods fight

Your Excellency, you are here! As soon as he saw Zhao Zijin, Boss Wang Shangqing of Baiweilou rushed to greet him.This Baiweilou is a time-honored restaurant in Zhuozhou. It is said that it can be traced back to the Northern Song Dynasty. At that time, Qianjin Yixiaolou in Kaifeng opened a Baiweifang by the Bianhe River. Later, a branch was opened here, which is now this place. The predecessor of Baiweilou. Zhao Tongpan said in a deep voice: Well, I have a distinguished guest for a banquet today, go and serve your best dishes in the same way. It was the first time for Zhao Tongpan to receive such a big official, so he was a little nervous, but the shopkeeper Wang mistook his nervousness for his solemnity, so he didn't dare to say more at the moment, so he quickly agreed and backed away.Zhao Tongpan followed up and warned again: Don't come in until you have been summoned!

Zhao Tong sent Xia Xun into the private room and asked him to sit up. After listening to Xia Xun's order, he dared to sit down next to him with his body bent. , other directors, etc., have nothing to do with the country's public affairs.However, outside the city of Zhuozhou today, I saw a group of patrolmen fighting with Jin Yiwei. Although the matter has nothing to do with the country, it cannot be ignored. Therefore, I invite Zhao Tongsan to come, just to understand, don't be nervous. Zhao Tongpan hurriedly leaned forward and said, "Yes, the Duke asked me, but the next official was naturally speechless. I don't know what the Duke wants to know?"

Xia Xun said: Who are Yin Shenghui and Xiao Zujie, and why did they fight? Xia Xun directly pointed out the names of these two people, so that Zhao Tong could not figure out how much he knew, and did not dare to hide anything in words.He didn't think that just because of his status as a Duke, he could make people know everything.It is not uncommon for a governor of a province, commander of an army, or even the king of a country to be fooled by a boy serving tea and water. As expected, Zhao Tongpan's expression became more cautious, he leaned forward and said after deliberation: Duke Hui, this Xiao Zujie is from Nanhai, Guangdong.He is good at judging prisons and enforcing the law. He is known as the cold iron with a cold face. He is now serving as the patrol envoy in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.Yin Shenghui was originally an officer of the 22nd Guards, but now he is a member of Qianhu in the Jinyiwei, and a member of the cadre under Lord Ji Gangji's command. He is highly appreciated by Lord Ji and often travels to various places on business!

From Xia Xun's expression and tone, Zhao Tongpan couldn't tell which side he cared more about, so he was extra careful and praised both sides, so don't rush to offend anyone.In this way, he seemed to be impartial, but in fact, his words were inevitably discounted. This Xiao Zujie is indeed an official, especially good at judging suspicious cases.Many legendary stories about this man's handling of cases have been spread all over the world. For example, one day, when he was inspecting the Criminal Division of Zhejiang Province, he passed by a place, and suddenly saw many flying gnats there. Out of professional habits, Xiao Zujie immediately noticed the difference, and asked people to follow him. The flying gnat tracked down and found a rotten corpse in the grass, with knife wounds on the corpse.

Xiao Zujie found a key and a wooden seal on the body of the deceased.And this seal was the common seal of the company at that time, based on which Xiao Zujie speculated that the deceased was killed by robbers looking for money.After arriving at the office, he immediately sent someone to look for the same seal as this seal, and soon found the same mark on the cloth sold by a cloth merchant. After interrogation, it was indeed he who saw the money and killed the deceased. Another time, in order to find evidence of a corrupt official, he pretended to be a foreigner, intentionally committing a crime and was arrested in prison.Although this Xiao Zujie is an official in Dali Temple, he lives a simple life and is clean and honest, so his official reputation is very good.But if we evaluate it fairly, then this Xiao Zujie is actually a cruel official just like Chen Ying.

Cruel officials and traitors cannot be equated. Many cruel officials are not afraid of the powerful, and they are dedicated to fighting against the powerful. Most of them have outstanding political achievements. Are you saying he is a traitor?They are called cruel officials because of three characteristics: First: They like to use torture, and they like to use severe punishment; second, they like to get rid of the evil and do everything. Once the crime is in his hands, they will definitely punish you to death, and they like to implicate, but no one can escape if anyone is involved. Once there is a case in his hands, it must be done vigorously and known to the world, just like a movement; third, put the law first, wipe out the evil, do not hesitate to eliminate the good and the bad, and sacrifice other development and interests.

There is no shortage of cruel officials like this in any dynasty and generation, especially during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Wu Zetian. To put it bluntly, they are a kind of political speculation. Mind, get official career development and fame.But such a person can usually jump out of the sky at the beginning, and become a political star, but the final ending is often very tragic. Xiao Zujie is a ruthless official. He has outstanding political achievements, and he must be prosecuted for all crimes. He will not give face to anyone, so he got the nickname of cold face and iron.It is said that there is a child in the capital who keeps crying, just tell him that cold-faced Han Tiegong is coming!Immediately dare not cry anymore, it has the miraculous effect of stopping children from crying at night.

Because Zhu Di felt that he could handle cases, and he could handle major cases, and Chen Ying, who was in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, could not leave the capital often, so he appointed Xiao Zujie as an inspector, to inspect Fujian, Zhejiang, Yanjing and other places, and to picket local justice. , this official is also the eight government inspectors in folk jokes. So how did he and Yin Shenghui get married?It turned out that Ji Gang sent Yin Shenghui to Zhejiang to do business. He was arrogant and domineering, did not follow the rules, and was suspected of accepting bribes. The local officials in Zhejiang knew that Xiao Zujie was not afraid of the strong, and he liked head-to-head. Yin Shenghui looked like this.

Xiao Zujie is a person who doesn't rub the sand in his eyes. Hearing this, he immediately decided to arrest Yin Shenghui. However, based on the report of Zhejiang officials, he was afraid that Yin Shenghui would not be convicted. Xiao Zujie went to the banquet.This method of handling cases is what is called fishing now. However, in the eyes of Jin Yiwei, who is good at detecting secrets, his secret bureau is really not confidential enough. Yin Shenghui immediately knew the truth of the matter. This Yin Shenghui had also heard of his reputation, and it would be nonsense to say that there was nothing wrong with his own behavior, so he couldn't help but feel a little guilty, so he avoided it.Xiao Zujie ran in vain and didn't catch him. Originally, this matter was over. Who would have thought: Enemy's road is narrow.The next stop of Xiao Zujie's inspection tour was Beizhili, but Yin Shenghui was ordered by Ji Gang to handle the case and also went to Beizhili.

The two met in Zhuozhou City. Although the bureau set up last time was not used, Xiao Zujie thought that there was a good reason to arrest him first, so he wanted to arrest Yin Shenghui and bring him to justice.Yin Shenghui hid from him once, and felt that he was being benevolent and righteous. Seeing that he was relentless, he naturally refused to tie him up. In this way, the scene outside Zhuozhou City took place. Zhao Tongpan didn't know that much in detail, and he didn't dare to be biased when he said it, because the identity of Yang Xu, the Duke of Fuguo, was rather ambiguous. He was very close to the literati. Taiwan also has many acquaintances.But at the same time, he was born in Jinyiwei, and the two town governors of Jinyiwei Nanzhen and Beizhen were both his former ministries.

Zhao Tongpan didn't know which side Xia Xun leaned towards, so he didn't dare to say anything unsightly about either side. The reason for this matter came from his mouth, as if Xiao Zujie and Yin Shenghui were both loyal to the emperor and diligent in state affairs. It's just that they both work in law enforcement, one overtly and the other secretly, and conflicts occurred in some aspects, which led to the scene outside the city of Zhuozhou. Xia Xun listened quietly, and gradually had a score in his heart. After he finished speaking, he asked: "So, why did Yin Shenghui come out of prison again?" Zhao Tongjuan was secretly taken aback. He did not expect that the scene of Yin Shenghui leaving the prison was actually seen by Duke Fu. He immediately left his seat and confessed to Xia Xun: "Forgive me, Duke. Very rare!Xiao Xun put Yin Qianhu in prison and went to Yanjing. When he was coming back, he impeached him to the emperor in Nanjing. However, Yin Qianhu's charges have not yet been determined, and he has been trapped in the Zhuozhou Prison for a long time. When the superiors are asked to blame, how will the lower officials explain?Yin Qianhu kept saying that he had come to Zhuozhou to investigate a secret case under the secret order of Master Ji, if he was delayed because of this, how could the subordinate officials be punished?The lower officials asked the Lord Zhizhou for instructions, and the Lord Zhizhou also meant to release Yin Qianhu. This case has to be negotiated by Jin Yiwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. The temple in Zhuozhou is too small to withstand such a big storm! Immortals fight, and mortals suffer.Zhao Tongpan's face was aggrieved, Xia Xun hurriedly smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, my father said that I just asked you to ask about this incident by chance, and my father will not pay attention to the indulgence of Yin Shenghui." Xia Xun smiled, but his expression gradually became serious. This matter has to be considered in a fair way, Yin Shenghui's domineering, even corrupt and law-breaking, may be true.However, when soldiers break the law, the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion decides the matter; Jinyiwei has more than 220,000 members, and the Jinyi Division's internal legal department is responsible for breaking the law, and the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion has no control. Even if this privilege is put aside, in terms of position, Yin Shenghui is a thousand households, an official of the fifth rank, and Xiao Zujie, as a patrol envoy, has only the right to impeach officials above the fifth rank, but not to judge him. He shouldn't have arrested someone, but not only did he arrest him, but when the other party refused to be arrested, he also brazenly ordered the arrest and slaughtered a few of Jin Yiwei's followers. Think deeply, but not at all. The Metropolitan Procuratorate is Chen Ying's territory, and the Jinyiwei is Ji Gang's territory. The people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Jinyiwei are fighting so fiercely. Could it be that the nail that the first prince buried next to the second prince, Ji Gang, has leaked. Xia Li has already torn his face and started fighting openly and secretly?At this point, he can't pay attention. On the other hand, Ji Gang also aroused his vigilance. Once upon a time, Jin Yiwei would hide his head and show his tail when he came out of the capital, but now?Yin Shenghui has a thousand households, and he is showing off his might in Zhejiang, and the officials of the Third Division of Zhejiang dared to sue him until Xiao Zujie, the patrol envoy, came.Zhuozhou Tongpan was Tongpan and Jusikou's official, and the Sanjujie was considered a family, but Xiao Zujie was sent to the prison, Zhao Tongpan didn't dare to stay for even a moment, and immediately invited him out again. Has Ji Gang's hand reached outside Beijing?
