From the Valley of the Wicked to the Town of Demons

"My lord, you have to decide for my uncle, he was killed by others."

When he came to catch the head of the god catcher, the nephew of Master Shangshu wept bitterly and complained all the time.

Cui Hong watched from the side, silent, wanting to see how the head catcher would deal with it.

"I know that Sun Shangshu was killed by someone. Now I ask you, is there anyone who has a grudge against your uncle?" The head catcher asked calmly with his expression unchanged.

"This... you know, the household department is in charge of the imperial court's money and grain, and has always had a complicated relationship, and is watched by too many people.

My uncle has always been upright, and he has offended too many people. I can't tell for a while, but I suspect that Wang Shilang is the most suspicious. "

As soon as the servant's words came out, Cui Hong was taken aback, because Wang Shilang was quite well-known in the capital, after all, he was the number one scholar in the last scientific examination.

"Oh? Then tell me, why did Wang Shilang target your uncle?"

The head catcher narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the boy.

"Hmph, that Wang Shilang, relying on himself as the number one scholar in the new department, is usually defiant and indifferent to his colleagues.

Unexpectedly, he was very ambitious and often opposed his uncle. Many things could not be carried out because of him. People in the household department said that this was because he wanted to drive his uncle away and take the position of Shangshu himself. "

The servant gritted his teeth with hatred, as if he wanted to eat that servant Wang alive.

Cui Hong on the side couldn't stand it anymore, Wang Shilang's reputation has always been good, the Ministry of Finance is a big dye tank, and his discord with his colleagues in it just shows that he has a sense of righteousness.

The Fish Scale Guard of the Demon Suppressing Division has always been slaying demons and eliminating demons, and what he does is the righteousness of the world.So Cui Hong asked to rectify Wang Shilang's name.

"The Wang Shilang was personally appointed by the Holy Majesty to the Ministry of Accounts. What he wants is his righteousness. You also know that the relationship between the Ministry of Accounts is complicated. He has offended many people in it, including your uncle. Isn't it normal?

In addition, there are three servants in the household department, all of them serve the imperial court, and they have different opinions, which is normal. Could it be that the household department has become your uncle's one-spoken hall, as it should? "

Cui Hong opened his mouth to speak, the voice fell, and the boy's face flushed slightly.

"My lord, I don't think the matter of the household department should be in the hands of your demon town master."

The boy cupped his hands, looked at Cui Hong, and clenched his teeth.

"Hmph, is the household department under your control? Do you know what crime it is to speak nonsense here and frame important officials of the court?"

Cui Hong refused to give in, although he is a martial artist, but he can be soft-spoken, and he has the upper hand in this dispute.

"Master Cui, why bother to get angry? I called him here because of the case. Since he has doubts, he should check it out and find out."

After the head catcher finished speaking, he called his subordinates and told him to invite the people from the Sanfa Division.

When it comes to the Ministry of Household Affairs, neither the Monster Suppressor nor the God Catchment is suitable for investigation. This job has always been the responsibility of the Sanfa Division.

Not long after, the people from the Sanfa Division arrived, and the young man told his guess, and everyone fell into silence.

It's not easy to find out that Wang Shilang, after all, he is the former number one scholar, the servant of the household department.

Now there is one less minister in the household department, and then go to meet the servant...

I'm afraid that the whole household department will be messed up, and they can't afford to be blamed by the Holy One.

In the end, it was agreed that the three judges would collectively go to the emperor to ask for an imperial edict, and when the imperial edict was received, they would summon the king's servant.

Of course, in order to prevent the situation from expanding, they will investigate all three servants, so as to prevent people from confusing the public and splashing dirty water indiscriminately.

It is normal for Sanfa to have such scruples. After all, although Wang Shilang has no backing in the court and has not voted for any faction, but after all, he is the number one scholar personally appointed by the Holy One, and he is the first one personally appointed by Emperor Qingxin after he ascended the throne. champion.

If it is not handled properly, it will be a slap in the face of the emperor. They are all old fritters who hang around in the court, and they all understand this truth.

The affairs here are over, so the divisions went back to their homes after taking stock, but a storm had already formed.

On the second day, the Sanfa Division went to ask Emperor Qingxin for an order, and Emperor Qingxin readily agreed, so the Sanfa Division gathered in the household department and started a thorough investigation.

In order to avoid causing unnecessary trouble, they only checked people, not accounts. The point was that the three servants, each of them, chatted for more than an hour.

But among them, Wang Shilang is the most difficult to deal with.

Wang Shilang's real name is Wang Peiyuan. In addition to being the No. [-] scholar, he also has a well-known nickname-the No. [-] sprayer in the household department.

"Hmph, Sun Shangshu was corrupt and broke the law, and he deserved to die. If you don't check his black account, come to me to ask questions, maybe he is also his accomplice."

"Wang Shilang, we are here to investigate the case, don't talk about it, let me ask you, have you been in contact with anyone recently, are there any people in the world."

"So what if you have it, so what if you don't have it, even if you want to bring down that moth Sun, I, Mr. Wang, will be upright and upright, and I will definitely not use such low methods."

"In other words, you have contacts with people from the Jianghu."

"So what, my friend is also a well-known knight in the rivers and lakes, and he will never be a murderer."

"Whether he is the murderer or not, Mr. Wang, is not up to you."

"Oh? What you mean is that you are going to pour dirty water on me, plan to frame my friend, and then hastily close the case, and let me take the blame.

The beauty of thinking, in broad daylight, bright and clear, since ancient times, evil has prevailed, even if I am framed by you, I will write a letter to the sage, and expose your face. "

"Lord Wang, we are only following orders, so don't be so excited. We will truthfully report these issues to the Holy Majesty, so you don't have to worry about someone getting in the way."

……

This Wang Shilang, full of righteousness, confronted Sanfasi with righteous words, which caused Sanfasi a headache for a while. After all, in terms of reasoning, they really couldn't beat the number one scholar.

After some questioning and nonsense, Sanfasi didn't ask anything, but almost folded himself in it.

It is true that the reputation of the Sanfa Division is not very good now. It has been a hundred years since the establishment of the Great Wei Dynasty, and each yamen has formed its own habits and traditions.In order to cope with the errands, the San Judiciary made a lot of unjust and wrongly decided cases, and everyone knew it from the government and the opposition to the market.

But so what?The art of the emperor lies in trade-offs and compromises. If the three courts can't do it well, can others do it well?It's the same for everyone, as long as they don't go too far, the emperor will turn a blind eye.

Because of this, the Sanfa Division was cast aside by scholars, especially the Supervision Institute, which was originally the eyes and ears of the emperor to supervise the handling of cases by the two divisions, but now they wear the same pants as the two divisions.

After being sprayed bloody by Wang Shilang, the faces of the people in the third department were all ugly.After all, this kind of scholarly spirit is the most difficult to deal with, and they also know the temper of Wang Shilang, so they went to ask for an order, otherwise things will be even more difficult.

Although the third division has suppressed the influence to a minimum, the household department is still in chaos, and people are panicked for a while.

In fact, the three servants each had their own ideas. After some inquiries, they revealed the intricate relationship between the household department.After questioning those petty officials, things became even more confusing.

But there is one thing that makes Sanfasi puzzled, that is, Sun Shangshu, who was killed, seems to have offended a lot of people.
