Emperor Ningzong was noncommittal, and casually opened the roll of silk.

It is naturally written about the Huyan family's eucalyptus, who complained for Huyan's mother and son, and sued Mo Ze, the servant of the Ministry of household affairs, and Zhao Rushu, the minister of the Ministry of punishment.

"You actually sued the government with the people? Old man, Huyan's family is also considered a loyal generation in the Song Dynasty. If you don't want to but fall into the prison, you can make arrangements to release these two people first, as long as they don't leave the ground of Jiaxing. Just do it."

"Xia Zhen, you should go back to treat your injuries first, and we'll talk about it tomorrow morning."

Emperor Ningzong actually didn't judge or judge the assassin's entry into the palace tonight?

"Xia Zhen, bring this roll of silk cloth to Shi Xiang. It actually has his name on it. Let him prepare it and defend himself tomorrow morning."

After speaking, Emperor Ningzong yawned and left his seat.

Actually, went back to sleep again...

Chapter 187 Responses from all parties

The official turned around and went back to sleep.

There are many people who can't sleep.

The residence of Shi Miyuan, the prime minister and privy envoy at that time, was located in the west of Lin'an City.

Such a domineering person in the political power, but his family does not occupy a large area. Although he is a master at making money, he shows frugality everywhere.

At this time, in the hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Xia Zhen, who had already treated his injuries, was still kneeling on the ground, carrying a long lamp.

On the right seat was a slightly fat old man, half leaning on the grand master's chair, yawning from time to time, holding a piece of silk cloth with words in his hand, this person was Shi Miyuan.

On Shi Miyuan's right hand side, Xue Ji, one of his think tanks, is also a member of the famous "Four Trees and Three Evils", with his brows furrowed.

There were two people sitting with their hands hanging down. They were Zhao Rushu, Minister of the Ministry of Punishments mentioned above, and the eighth grandson of Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi, and the other was Mo Ze, the servant of the household department.

And on Shi Miyuan's left side, there was another person sitting. This person was covered with a black scarf, tall and tall, and his gray hair showed that he was half a hundred people.

"Let's talk about it, what do you all think of things tonight?"

Seeing that everyone was silent, Shi Miyuan asked a question.

"Enxiang, in my opinion, this matter can be big or small."

Xue Ji, sitting on the right, spoke first.

"Oh, meeting it, how can there be a big law, and how can it be a small law?"

Shi Miyuan was very happy. Whenever he encountered a problem, these few of his subordinates had never disappointed him.

"Excuse me, Enxiang. Overall, there are two things tonight."

"One is about an assassin breaking into the palace at night, wounding the guards, and throwing knives to leave a letter. The other is about the case of Jiaxing, involving Mr. Zhao, Mr. Mo, and the descendants of the Huyan family."

"Based on my understanding of the officials, Commander Xia was asked to bring this matter back to Enxiang before the early court, just to 'knock the mountain and shake the tiger'."

"Master Xue, why do you 'knock the mountain and shake the tiger'?"

Sitting down with his hands down, Zhao Rushu, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment, asked a question.

Shi Miyuan's subordinates are not monolithic either, this Minister of the Ministry of Punishments dislikes Xue Ji on weekdays, with a dignified appearance.

"Nowadays, in the imperial court, there are too many officials who 'only know that there is a man but not a king'."

"The health of the official family has always been bad. Although it seems to have improved in the past few months, who can be sure that it is not a return to light?"

"Tonight, it happened that an assassin entered the palace, and it was Commander Xia's duty to protect him. Commander Xia is also a man of Enxiang. It seems that Commander Xia's position may not be able to be kept this time."

The others listened to Xue Ji's analysis clearly and logically, and couldn't help nodding.

"Hui Zhi's analysis makes sense, but the sentence just now 'I only know that there is a phase but not a king', it is better to say less in the future, hehe——"

"Enxiang taught me a lesson. As for the eucalyptus written on the silk cloth, it is actually a trivial matter. Since the officials released the two on the spot, then this is the end."

"It not only reflects the arbitrariness of the officials, but also refute Enxiang's meaning, and even slaps Mr. Mo in the face."

"If everything ends here, then this is a trivial matter, and it will be a process tomorrow morning."

"If En Xiangxia's position as commander, or Master Mo is still relentless towards Huyan's family, maybe this matter will lead to a big conflict."

It has to be said that this Xue Ji didn't see it with his own eyes, so he can analyze it to such a point based on the current situation afterwards, which is really a trick.

"Xia Zhen, tell me about the assassin tonight. You actually lost a head-on fight? Your martial arts, in the Jianghu, can barely be regarded as a top-notch player, right?"

Xia Zhen is an important chess piece that Shi Miyuan placed in the "Imperial City Division". Of course, his martial arts are not too weak, but they are not the strongest either.

The strongest person, of course, is used to protect himself, not sent to the palace.

"Enxiang, this person is covered from head to toe, but judging from his body shape, he should be a young man. He wields a ghost knife with ordinary skills, but it is extremely powerful and fast."

"A young man with a knife? What do you think, sir?"

Shi Miyuan turned sideways slightly, and said to the masked old man on the left.

"Ghost knife, there are many people who use it in the Jianghu, but none of them can be called a master. I am afraid that the other party deliberately did this to cover up their identity."

"Young man? Commander Xia whose martial arts has defeated the first-class realm, there are not many young people like this in the whole Jianghu. It seems that the old man only knows one, but he is still his own."

It seems that it is also an unsolvable question.

"Where are you two? How do you plan to reply tomorrow morning?"

In the whole matter, Shi Miyuan himself had nothing wrong with it.

Although he also wrote a note and asked Mo Ze to bring it to the Ministry of Punishment, but he himself is the prime minister of the dynasty, and it is also his responsibility to supervise the various ministries.

Not to mention that he asked a servant of the household department to send a note, even if it was sent by his doorman, the effectiveness and nature of the representative would be the same.

Zhao Rushu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, did not have too much of a problem, not even dereliction of duty.

If you really want to investigate the crime of dereliction of duty, you can only continue to investigate and find the person who is specifically responsible for receiving and reviewing the case file.

As for Zhao Rushu, as the minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the chief executive of the Ministry of Punishment, it is impossible for him to be punished for the responsibility of a specific position, at best it is regarded as insufficient supervision.

Moze is a slightly troublesome person, a bit of a power seeker, but he is just a note hander.

The name of lax discipline can be borne, but it is not enough to be a crime. After all, his nephew is dead, and it depends on whether he can swallow this breath.

"Enxiang, tomorrow when the officials mention a certain family, a certain one will leave the shift and admit that the supervision is not effective, and punish himself with salary."

Zhao Rushu, Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment, made his statement first.

A case of human life was neglected in the criminal department for more than half a year, and he couldn't justify it wherever he went.

More importantly, he was afraid that once the matter was investigated to the bottom, his Ministry of Criminal Justice would be in trouble.

Even he himself doesn't know how many similar cases will be pressing.

"Hey, well, Enxiang Momou will not pursue the Huyan family anymore."

Mo Ze could be regarded as knocking out his teeth and swallowing it, but after this matter, Mo Ze still had a layer of estrangement in his heart.

Let him see that if it is possible to endanger Shixiang, he can only sacrifice his own interests.

The morning court the next day was indeed a process.

In a peaceful atmosphere, everyone was doing "criticism and self-criticism" kindly.

Xia Zhen was dismissed from the post of "Prospect of the Imperial City".The old eunuch will temporarily hold the post of "prompting imperial city secretary" left behind.

The tribes under his command will be handed over to Lu Chengfeng, another "Director of the Imperial City", who will undergo strict screening and decide whether to stay or not.

Zhao Rushu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, ordered him to rectify the Ministry of Punishment with a salary of half a year.

Mo Ze, the servant of the household department, has no way to teach his nephew, causing him to run wild in the village and cause harm to one side. He thinks that his nephew is dead, so no previous crimes will be investigated.He was ordered to contemplate behind closed doors for a month.

The magistrate of Jiaxing Qian took his position as a dead body, and ordered him to retire early. The post of magistrate left behind was enlisted as a temporary replacement by Liu Kezhuang, a native of Putian.

This appointment puzzled the officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

In fact, the official himself didn't understand, but when he asked Guo Mo, Guo Mo casually mentioned Liu Kezhuang's name.

Guo Mo knew Liu Kezhuang for three reasons.

One is that this is a poet, and he is the biggest poet of the Jianghu School.

Jianghu poets always express their admiration for seclusion and contempt for official career. They often criticize the current abuses, ridicule the government, and express their willingness not to associate with the current government.

The other is that this person has had a rough life, has worked at the grassroots level and at the top level, served two dynasties, and lived until he was 83 years old.

The most important point is that this person was deeply influenced by Xin Qiji, and he was also a patriotic poet. He advocated anti-gold all his life, and he was a relatively rare anti-golden scholar among literati.

Since he was the candidate nominated by his son, and Liu Kezhuang is now in his 30s, he is considered young and vigorous.

Previously, he worked as Jing'an Book, Huai'an County Captain, Fuzhou Yousi Li Cao, Zhenzhou Recorder joined the army, was dispatched by the Department along the Yangtze River, and dispatched by the Department of Economics. He has extensive military and political experience, and he has rich practical experience. And he was also a literary celebrity for a while.

The officials didn't think much about it, and directly wrote Liu Kezhuang's name on it.

When it was announced early in the morning, it also caught all parties by surprise.

Fortunately, in the eyes of various factions, Liu Kezhuang is just a literati and can't affect the overall situation.

But in Jiaxing, the economy is still good, and other things are insignificant. In addition, the original prefect Qian was not in line, so no one came out to object.

The last one is that the mother and son of the Huyan family were acquitted and released, in gratitude to their ancestors for their merits, so that Zhongliang’s future generations would not suffer, and they were given a thousand taels of silver, a hundred pieces of brocade, and a hundred acres of fertile land.

The male Ding Huyande was awarded the post of "Shouque Jinyong Deputy Lieutenant". Although he was the last military officer, he had a real salary.

He even gave Hu Yande the "Zhangba Snake Spear" that was collected in the palace and used by Hu Yanqing, the "king of loyalty and filial piety".

Now there is another uproar in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, what happened to the officials today?

Why is such a big reward given to a descendant of a descendant of a family of generals who has declined?

Don't guess if you can't figure it out, anyway, it doesn't affect the interests of others.

It's just that there seemed to be something extra in Shi Miyuan's eyes.

He didn't care who was promoted, who was demoted, or who was rewarded, he was thinking about the official family, how could there be such a change?

In the past, he had been huddled in the palace, pretending to be muddling along, never caring about political affairs, why is he giving orders so frequently now.

In fact, Shi Miyuan has been vigilant since the last "martial arts", but he thinks it's just a "martial arts" and the overall situation is still under his control.

But judging from this incident, it seems that he is also in a passive position.

Lost a "prompt imperial city secretary", the top one is that Jianghu man named Lu Chengfeng, who seems to be a water bandit by the Taihu Lake in the past.

Losing a prefect of Jiaxing, the one who came to the top was a well-known bold and unrestrained poet.

He also appointed the lowest-ranking military officer, "Deputy Lieutenant Shouque Jinyong", and gave it to the declining Huyan family. The other party was a ten-year-old child.

Is all this accidental, or are they inextricably linked?

Although Shi Miyuan was a little puzzled, he finally agreed happily and ordered Yousi to use his seal to open up the world.

At this time, Liu Kezhuang was acting as an aide with Hu Yu, the envoy of Guangxi Economic Strategy, and was dispatched by the Secretary of Economics.

He suddenly received an imperial decree asking him to go to Jiaxing to serve as the magistrate, and he was fooled at that time.

He is just a literati, he has served as some low-level officials, and he has never been attached to any big figures in the court. Why is there a pie in the sky?

That's right, for Liu Kezhuang in front of him, being the head of a government is definitely a huge pie.

"Kezhuang, don't think so much, since the imperial court has come, I won't keep you."

"Brother Yu will hold a banquet for you today to congratulate you. I wish you a bright future. Lord Angel will also have a glass of water and wine, and then set off with Lord Liu, shall we?"

As he spoke, he took out a 500 tael bank note from his pocket and stuffed it into the hand of the messenger.

"Lord Angel and the two guards have worked hard all the way. Let's take a good rest tonight. It's not too late to start tomorrow morning."

Hu Tsui knew that Liu Kezhuang was a pure literati with a strong character, worried that he would not be able to deal with these sophistication, so he offered 500 taels for his friend.

He doesn't know, he can't pay the money, so it doesn't make much sense.

It is true that the messenger is from the Ministry of Rites, but his real identity is from the "Imperial City Secretary", and the two guards were arranged by Lu Chengfeng himself.

Did he know that this Liu Kezhuang was named by Guo Mo himself, and there must be no mistakes.

The two guards were entertained by themselves, and Hu Tsui, Liu Kezhuang, and the messenger set up a banquet in Hu Tsui's official office.

The world is hard to travel, money is used as a horse, and the city of sorrow wants to break wine as an army.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the three of them lost the restraint they had when they first met.

"Master Angel, if there is something, I know it's inconvenient to inquire about it. It's just me, a good brother, a pure scholar. I don't know what rules are behind this lucky entry?"

Hu Tsui laughed, and poured another cup for the messenger.

Since the decree officer is a member of the "Imperial City Secretary", he has already been instructed before coming here, so how can he easily reveal it?
