Ci Jinzhi

A large number of people gathered outside Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, so it was natural that they could not hide it from anyone.

The officers from the Military and Horse Division went here again and again. They were afraid that the people would make trouble and be held responsible, but they also didn't want to get into trouble with the Jinlin Guards.

So this scene appeared: there were many officials around, but the people didn't make trouble and they didn't care.

 The next morning in the morning, amidst the chants of "If there is something to do, we will leave the court if there is nothing", several coughs sounded at the same time, and several ministers were preparing to go out.

This cough is of course not a real cough, but a reminder to do something, in order to avoid the embarrassment of being in line at the same time.

Emperor Xingyuan was stunned.

If he is not mistaken, among the people who want to do something are Zhang Shilang of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Chen Shilang of the Ministry of War, Du Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Meng Jijiu of the Imperial College... It is not often that these people are so active.

Emperor Xingyuan didn't have a good impression of the Ministry of Finance because of the disaster relief work. The officials often had bad things to report. Meng Jijiu might have to press for the palace examination, but he was not in the mood now, so he looked at the Minister of War: "Servant Chen What's the report?"

Chen Shilang knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, a large number of people gathered outside Fusi, Beizhen yesterday afternoon, and they stayed all night long..."

The Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities is responsible for public security in the capital and is subordinate to the Ministry of War. If people gather and cause trouble, the Ministry of War cannot escape the responsibility.

 “Oh, why is this?”

“Those people were mostly people from Beiloufang. They gathered outside Fusi in Beizhen and asked to let the bandit girl out..."

After listening to Chen Shilang's report, Emperor Xingyuan looked solemn and said: "Get up."

 Chen Shilang returned silently.

 “What’s the matter with Meng Jijiu?”

Meng Jijiu went out and said, "Your Majesty, this is what I want to report."

Emperor Xingyuan was puzzled: "Meng Jijiu also heard about this?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is a student in the Imperial College who is also a resident of Beiloufang. He asked for personal leave yesterday. Later, the gentleman who approved the leave heard that the people of Beiloufang went to Beizhen Fusi to request the release of Miss Kou. He was worried and went to inquire about it. He learned that the The student was imprisoned by Xiao Zhen’s envoy..."

Meng Jijiu naturally couldn't say that the Imperial College knew what he was going to do as soon as Gu Yu asked for leave.

Emperor Xingyuan's face darkened after hearing this: "What's the name of that supervisor? Why was he locked up?"

“The student’s name is Gu Yu, and he is just seventeen years old this year.”

 Seventeen years old is the age when one is full of passion and enthusiasm.

"He was grateful for Miss Kou's kindness and went to Beizhen Fusi with his neighbors to ask for his release. Xu Xiaozhen's envoy thought that he was taking the lead in making trouble, so he was arrested together with the head of Beiloufang." Speaking of this, Meng Jijiu raised his voice, "Your Majesty, you have given me the post of Imperial Master Jijijiu to teach the world. Although Gu Yu is a little impulsive, he knows how to repay his kindness and is not afraid of power. This is exactly what I hope to cultivate." student. Knowing that he is in jail, I cannot ignore him. I also ask your majesty to be merciful and let Gu Yu go back to the Imperial College to study, and let the director of Beiloufang go home..."

 After Meng Jiji finished reporting the wine, Emperor Xingyuan looked at Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Household Affairs again.

"Your Majesty, I am reporting this..." Zhang Shilang actually also reported this matter.

 When raising funds for charity, he was deeply impressed by Miss Kou who donated 50,000 taels of silver. In public, he admires this little girl; in private, Miss Kou takes the lead in donating a large sum of money so that he can run the errand very beautifully. If something goes wrong with Mr. Pei, he is likely to go one step further, so he also takes the responsibility of this little girl. Affection.

 In both public and private matters, he is willing to say a few words for Miss Kou.

 The last person listed was Du Yushi.

Compared to the calm tone of the previous ones, this censor's tone was much more fierce, and he scolded Jinlin Guard impassionedly. Fortunately, Emperor Xingyuan was sitting on Danqi, otherwise he would have been sprayed with spittle.

"Miss Kou donated 50,000 taels of silver to the victims of the Dingbei disaster to relieve the court's worries. The people of Beiloufang still remember Miss Kou's kindness, but the Jinlin Guards arrested Miss Kou just because of some rumors. How do the people evaluate the court? Your Majesty, please think twice!"

 After listening to the reports from several ministers, Emperor Xingyuan's face was already clouded. This Xiao Lengshi caused such trouble just after taking over Beizhen Fusi, which shows that he is of average ability. Thinking about the fact that it was already the third day that Miss Kou had entered Jinlin Guard but she had achieved nothing, and it was a futile effort to lock people up, Emperor Xingyuan became even more dissatisfied.

 “I understand.”

 Emperor Xingyuan quickly issued an oral order asking Beizhen Fusi to release the people.

　　When receiving this oral instruction, Xiao Leng did not dare to show his emotions on his stone face and was in a terrible mood.

As soon as the people who came to deliver the oral message left, Feng Nian, the commander of the Jinlin Guards, arrived.

 “Sir—” In front of Commander Feng, Xiao Lengshi was very respectful and showed no sign of being a cruel official at all.

Commander Feng's tone was full of dissatisfaction: "Why did the matter become so big? I have never seen so many people surround the Yamen when Jin Linwei handles a case."

He recommended Xiao Lengshi to the emperor. If the job was not done well, he, the recommender, would have no face with the emperor.

"It's my fault that I didn't handle it well." Xiao Lengshi felt angry and couldn't express his anger.

 He is gentle enough. Knowing that this Kou girl was a guest of the eldest princess's palace and was considered well-known to the emperor, those tortures were not used at all. Who knew that arresting a little girl could attract so many untouchables.

"This Miss Kou is very kind to the people of Beiloufang, not to one person, but to hundreds of people. One ordinary citizen is nothing, but dozens or hundreds of people? How can you treat so many people under the emperor's feet?" Catch him?"

 Xiao Lengshi listened silently.

Commander Feng sighed: "The matter has come to an end. It is useless to say more. Please be more cautious in the future."

"yes."

After being beaten by Commander Feng, Xiao Lengshi went to the place where Xin You was being held with a stern face.

 As the door opens, light floods in.

Xin You opened her slightly closed eyes and looked at the man who strode in.

Xiao Lengshi stood still in front of her, his eyes as deep as a deep pool.

 “Miss Kou is very capable.”

“You are making fun of me, how could you become a prisoner if you are capable?” Xin You said calmly, guessing the reason why Xiao Lengshi appeared here.

 Normally speaking, now that we have entered a stalemate stage, it depends on which of the two sides is more calm. This person wanted to break her temper and shouldn't have appeared here so soon.

 Did something unexpected happen?

While Xin You was guessing, Xiao Lengshi suddenly lowered his voice: "How did you incite those people?"

 Common people?

Xin You was confused, but Xiao Lengshi's eyes were expressionless and calm.

"Hundreds of people surrounded Jinlin Guard, forcing Jinlin Guard to be attacked verbally and forced to let him go. Xiao Mou noted the Kou girl's ability. Come, send the Kou girl out."

Xin You was led out, and her thoughts turned around: Could those people be the residents of Beiloufang?

If this is the case, such a big thing will definitely reach that person's ears, and it should be that person's intention to let her go.

If she leaves Beizhen Fusi's door and exposes Jinlin Guards' torture to her in front of others, what will that person do to Mr. Xiao, who is temporarily in charge of Beizhen Fusi?

Xin You thought about it and looked back, but his eyes that were normal just now suddenly changed.
