Qin Zhongzheng felt a strong uneasiness in his heart, but when he reached out and touched the letter in his chest, he exhaled a deep breath of turbidity, as if it had given him great energy again.

When I walked to the main hall of the political envoy's yamen, I found that not only the political envoy Wang Bai was here, but also the commander Huang Hui was also here, and there were also senior officials such as the political secretary and the deputy envoy of the judicial department.

Although the status of the Guangdong Salt Sect is transcendent and directly subordinate to the household department, in the face of these high-ranking officials, he, a small official of the fifth grade, naturally still has to give courtesy in a proper manner.

"Lord Fantai, I don't know what happened when I found a subordinate official?" Qin Zhong didn't take a seat, but asked directly to the point.

Wang Bai took a sip of tea, exchanged glances with Huang Hui, and then looked at Qin Zhongzheng and asked, "Lord Qin, but I don't know if your subordinates killed the burdenman, is it true?" ”

"Lord Fantai, do you believe those words of the people? Or do you think that my salt class is not handling things properly? Qin Zhongzheng forcibly endured the unhappiness in his heart and replied stiffly.

Wang Bai has been in the officialdom for many years, so he naturally understands that Qin Zhongzheng's emphasis on the "Yamen of the Salt Class Promotion Division" has another meaning, and he is secretly reminding the transcendent status of the "Guangdong Salt Class Promotion Division" and is not under the jurisdiction of him, the political envoy.

Years of qi cultivation kung fu are very effective, he smiled and said: "This domain has no intention of interfering with how the salt class raises the Yamen, but today there is a murder case, and the current public resentment is boiling, this domain wants to give an explanation to the people of Guangdong, and also to the imperial court!" ”

"That's exactly what it is! Now that there has been a homicide case, the entire city of Guangzhou is full of storms, not to mention that the lord of the domain wants to ask, and the official must also find out! According to the deputy envoy Yang Pinghai, he echoed with righteous words.

Qin Zhongzheng felt a kind of pressure, but he already said in his heart: "Ladies and gentlemen, please don't be impatient, this is naturally not the truth of the facts!" My subordinates came back to report to the officer, saying that the bearer had died of a sudden illness, and this matter had nothing to do with them! Of course, since you attach so much importance to it, the official will naturally conduct a strict investigation, and I also ask you to give the official some time limit, and the matter will definitely be investigated, and I will ensure that you are satisfied. ”

But I have to say that this "drag" trick is very good. Wang Bai took the bigwigs to pose as a teacher and ask for guilt, but Qin Zhongzheng took retreat as advance, and even the pressure disappeared into invisibility.

Wang Bai's brows frowned slightly, and his gaze fell on Huang Hui, but Huang Hui shook his head with a wry smile, looking like he had nothing to do.

Qin Zhongzheng saw the reaction of the two of them in his eyes, and bowed his hand with a smile on his face: "If there is nothing else, then the official will leave first, and the official will not dare to delay the slightest bit about what Yan Ge Lao advised!" ”

Hey?

Hearing the words "Yan Ge Lao", Yang Pinghai and other officials who did not know the truth immediately showed surprise on their faces.

Wang Bai's brows furrowed even deeper, this was clearly Yan Ge Lao pressing him, and the fist hidden in his long sleeves couldn't help but clench tightly.

"Farewell to the official!"

A victor's smile appeared on Qin Zhong's face, and he once again bowed his hand to the big guys, but a sense of pride surged in his heart. In front of the bigwigs in the capital, in front of Yan Gelao, these Guangdong bigwigs are simply chickens and dogs.

"Lord Qin, you can't leave yet!"

But at this moment, a voice came from the courtyard, and I saw a majestic young official leading a group of people to appear.

Qin Zhongzheng saw Lin Haoran appear, but he preemptively said: "Lin Futai, but I don't know where to hide today?" Why was the Yanjiao Yamen being watched by the people, but you, the prefect of Guangzhou, stood by and watched, aren't you afraid that this official will sue the cabinet? ”

"Lord Qin, don't say that you should sue the cabinet, even if you sue the Holy Lord! It's just Lord Qin, you have to explain first, how did you get this box of silver? Lin Haoran didn't take his threat seriously, and pointed to the silver boxes that were carried to the main hall one after another and asked.

Hey?

Wang Bai and other officials looked at this box of silver, and they were secretly surprised. Even though he knew that Qin Zhongzheng was in a fat position, looking at this white and swaying silver, it was beyond imagination.

Qin Zhongzheng watched Lin Haoran play with this hand, but he wanted to kill him, and immediately asked angrily: "Lin Ruoyu, do you know what you are doing?" Are you playing with fire? ”

"Fire? Where is the fire? Lin Haoran deliberately looked around, and then met Qin Zhongzheng's fire-breathing eyes and said jokingly: "Oh, it turns out that the fire is on Lord Qin, Lord Qin is angry!" ”

Qin Zhongzheng looked at Lin Haoran's demeanor, and the anger in his heart couldn't help but grow, looking into his eyes and asking loudly, "Lin Ruoyu, everything is led by you, right?" ”

At this time, he naturally smelled the smell of conspiracy, and the person behind all this was undoubtedly the person in front of him, and only he had the ability and courage.

"Why can't this mansion understand what Lord Qin is saying?" Lin Haoran spread out his hands and said innocently.

Qin Zhongzheng reached out and touched the letter on his chest, and said fearlessly: "Lin Ruoyu, even if this official is really greedy for ink, you ...... You don't have the right to arrest me! ”

But I have to say that whether Lin Haoran, whether as the prefect of Guangzhou or the deputy envoy of Guangdong Patrol Road, does not have the power to directly dispose of Qin Zhongzheng, and can only exercise the power of impeachment.

However, Lin Haoran understood the truth of "everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high" a long time ago, but he turned his head to look behind him.

"Lord Qin, what about the official?" Pan Jitao followed Lin Hao, and personally followed Lin Haoran to search Qin Zhongzheng's back house, and then stood up and asked.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is equivalent to the Discipline Inspection Commission of later generations, and has the power to supervise, appoint and dismiss officials. Although Pan Jitao is four levels lower than Qin Zhongzheng, his official position as a governor of Guangdong is very detached, and he has a strong power of supervision and appointment and dismissal of middle and lower officials in Guangdong.

Now Qin Zhongzheng is suspected of greedy ink, and now he has directly collected tens of thousands of taels of silver from his back house, which can be said to be conclusive evidence, and he, the inspector, naturally has the right to take him down.

"Pan Xunpress, you ...... You should know who this official is doing on an errand! Qin Zhongzheng watched Pan Jitao jump out, threatening Dao.

Pan Jitao snorted coldly and replied very domineeringly: "I only know that this official is on an errand for the emperor!" Someone comes, escort him back to the procuratorate, and the official must interrogate him well! ”

"You...... You're all crazy! If you don't decide on this illegal salt in Guangdong, how can you explain it to the imperial court? How to explain to Yan Ge Lao? Qin Zhongzheng looked at the situation and asked in disbelief.

As soon as these words came out, Wang Bai and the others showed a little sadness on their faces, and they all turned their heads to look at Lin Haoran.
