Chapter 620: Impeachment
Ah!
An official hat flew in and happened to hit Lin Haoran's forehead, which was really a disaster.
It is said that this is a group scaffolding between two yamen, and he should not have stepped forward to interfere. It's just that Lin Haoran's long-lost blood has already surged, and when he pulls up his sleeves, he intends to feel the heroic moment of the Ming officials.
After only taking two steps, he saw Wang Bai, the political envoy, and Ding Yizhong, the envoy of the police, fighting together.
Ding Yizhong tugged at the placket of the other party's clothes, blushing and venting his anger thickly, with the shape of the golden lion king Xie Xun, but he was like a fool, and he didn't know how to swing his fist.
Wang Bai was short and fat, half a head shorter than Ding Yizhong, but his shot was very insidious, and he threw the tall Ding Yizhong to the ground, and then sat on Ding Yizhong's body and waved his fist.
Lin Haoran saw that Ding Yizhong was completely at a disadvantage, and didn't see any possibility of turning the tables, so he picked up a wooden stick on the ground and swung it towards the back of Wang Bai's head.
For Wang Bai, he naturally hated it extremely in his heart.
But it was not that Wang Bai gave up the mirror to the Portuguese, nor that Wang Bai was too badly beaten, but that this goods hindered his plan to open the sea. From the perspective of interests, he and this person have fallen into incompatibility, and even a situation of "you die and I die".
Especially today, if he hadn't been able to improvise, he might have been planted here. As soon as he thought of this, he would not be soft, and even thought about whether to take the opportunity to get rid of this goods.
Bang!
Wang Bai was about to continue to swing his fist, but the back of his head was suddenly attacked by a stick, and he did not fall unconscious immediately, but turned half of his face, pointed at Lin Haoran and spit out the word "you", and then the whole person fell to the ground.
The movement quickly attracted the attention of the officials who were fighting, especially since Wang Bai was already lying on the ground like a salted fish.
Quiescence! Deathly silence!
Originally, the lobby was still chaotic, but when they saw Lin Haoran actually carry out a sneak attack and knock Wang Bai unconscious, it was really unbelievable, and everyone looked at him like a monster.
This fight between officials of similar rank and different yamen is harmless, after all, it is impossible for anyone to wear small shoes for each other, but what kind of fun are you a little five-grade official to join in?
The most important thing is that you, a small prefect, dare to directly act against your immediate boss and political envoy, do you still want to live?
"Haha...... Dare to fight me! ”
Ding Yizhong, who was disheveled, got up from the ground, first gave Lin Haoran a grateful look, and then kicked Wang Bai like a dead pig with an arrogant face, as if he had defeated the other party.
In essence, he was secretly lucky at the moment.
If it weren't for Lin Haoran's sudden move, his face would have really been embarrassed this time. His figure is indeed crushed by Wang Bai, but when he really fights, he only knows how to pull the other party's clothes to vent his anger.
Growing up, he read the books of the sages. Filial piety to his parents at home, politeness to his classmates in the school, and even more example as an official, almost never blushing with anyone.
is also the case, although he rushed to the crown, but when he fought with Wang Bai, he didn't know how to punch at all, and he didn't know how to fight at all.
However, this time "winning", he felt a sense of coolness that he had never felt before, it turned out that winning a fight was such a wonderful thing, no wonder the court bosses like to beat people in groups.
"Fantai!"
Seeing Wang Bai lying on the ground, the subordinate officials of the Yamen of the Political Secretary chose to stop fighting, and someone immediately cried and shouted like a mother. An old man pretended to cry, but he seemed to remember that the person had passed out and took the tears back.
"If you dare to exonerate the Buddha Machine, the old man will never be soft next time, and will send you directly to see the king of Hades!" Ding Yizhong took the attitude of a victor, spat lightly on the ground, looked at Lin Haoran, who was still stunned with a stick, and pulled him to remind: "Hurry up!" ”
Lin Haoran reacted at this time, he seemed to have taken too heavy a shot, and even caused a big disaster. As soon as he thought of this, he threw away the stick and followed Ding Yizhong to leave the yamen of the political envoy in a hurry.
When I went in, it was "black clouds crushing the city and wanting to destroy it", but when I came out, it was already open, and the dark clouds above my head had been blown away by the wind.
"Get in my car!" Ding Yizhong rode in a carriage and took the initiative to invite.
"I'm so tired of Lord Zhentai!" Lin Haoran gave it up, so naturally he would not be polite.
When he got into Ding Yizhong's carriage and felt the carriage drive away from here, his hanging heart was relaxed. This time you can get out of the tiger's den with your whole body, which undoubtedly has some luck elements.
Although he has the support of Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang, Wang Fang has already made it clear that before the matter is clear, he will not easily jump out to fight Wang Bai.
Fortunately, Ding Yizhong suddenly jumped out to help, otherwise I really don't know where things will go. Now such a fuss not only made him fool the matter of sending troops to recapture Haojing, but also successfully turned the focus to the Franc robot.
Not to mention that the Francophile did indeed do the things of beasts, even if Wang Bai really wanted to help them wash them off, I am afraid it would take a lot of effort. At least for a short time, Wang Bai had no reason for him to return the mirror and the big black ship to Calenel, and he would have a little respite.
Ding Yizhong regained the demeanor of a high-ranking official, and then stroked his beard and looked at Lin Haoran. When Lin Hao looked at him in confusion, he realized that he was a little rude, so he found the topic and said, "The evil deeds committed by the Francophile are real, right?" ”
"It's true!" Lin Haoran replied.
Ding Yizhong actually didn't doubt this, and after another verification, he asked with a serious expression: "Do you believe me?" ”
"Faith!" Lin Haoran was not a fool, he replied without the slightest hesitation, and his eyes still pretended to be very sincere. Of course, how could he be so easy to be easy, and he was not the stupid girl of the tiger girl.
It is true that Ding Yizhong is an old fritter in the officialdom, but it is impossible to imagine that such a young boy would be so slippery, and he should be a pure man with a true temperament, and said with a smile: "The old man will go to Xiangshan County today to personally check this matter!" ”
"Thank you, Lord Tsudai!" Lin Haoran was overjoyed in his heart, and immediately saluted sincerely.
Ding Yizhong is the procurator of Guangdong, who is responsible for the judicial affairs of the whole of Guangdong. If he goes to judge this case in person, even if Wang Bai is powerless, he has no right to veto.
If the son of Galenel is condemned, then according to the Ming people, if Galenel is also a traitor.
Once Galenel is labeled as such, Wang Bai's relationship with Galenel may have to be restricted, at least until he fails to get a lot of ambergris.
Now Ding Yizhong's move is simply a great favor for him, at least Wang Bai does not dare to point fingers at Haojing in the short term.
Ding Yizhong stroked his beard and looked at Lin Haoran with satisfaction, and then changed his words and said: "Brother Jing praised you in the letter, I thought he was boasting, but looking at what you did in Leizhou Mansion and your words and deeds today, I found that he was not boasting, but as modest as ever!" ”
"Lord Zhentai praised it falsely!" Lin Haoran was relieved.
There is really no love for no reason in the world, and this person who dares to love met with his cheap father-in-law, and it seems that the relationship is not shallow, so he chose to help today.
It's just that he can't help but think in his heart, that cheap father-in-law hides it really deeply, but he has this relationship but never tells him clearly, so he always thinks that he can only be self-reliant.
Ding Yizhong knew Wu Shan's personality very well, and seemed to see Lin Haoran's careful thoughts, but he couldn't help laughing.
He and Wu Shan were the same people in Jiajing for thirteen years, and went to the capital together to take the examination. It's just that Wu Shan's talent is far above him, and the next year he was named on the gold list and became a first-class jinshi with unlimited scenery, and he only won the second-class jinshi in three years.
After entering the officialdom, the two did not break off contact. And when Wu Shan was in the position of the left servant of the ministry, he also pulled him and let him serve as the envoy of Guangdong.
Now, not to mention that Wu Shan has kindness to him, and once wrote to him to help take care of Lin Haoran. How could he not have come to his aid in today's situation?
When he arrived at the south gate, Lin Haoran got out of the car and watched Ding Yizhong go towards Xiangshan County.
Someone once said: In any political struggle, the righteous man and the gentleman will lose, and the villain will prevail. Because the righteous man and the gentleman fight for morality, while the villain fights for power, the result is that both sides will get their own place, the good man will go to the throne, and the bad man will get the power.
Lin Haoran doesn't want to be a righteous gentleman, so he can only be a villain who fights for power. And this time he wants to defeat Wang Bai, not only to do things in the open, but also to do things in secret, racking his brains to find a way to get rid of this stepping stone.
In the next few days, Wang Bai was surprisingly calm.
When everyone thought that the matter had passed, as if dropping a deep-sea bomb, Wang Bai actually wanted to impeach Lin Haoran and invite everyone to jointly write to the court.
All of a sudden, the officialdom of the entire Guangdong was really stormy.
So many days have passed, and everyone has woken up. If there is no support from other bigwigs behind this matter of sending troops to recapture Haojing, how could Lin Haoran mobilize Shendian and Guanghai at the same time.
After many inquiries, it was learned that the person who supported Lin Haoran in the back was Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang, who was a powerful tycoon in the Liangguang region and one of the core members of the Xu Party.
Obviously, this turmoil was caused by Lin Haoran on the surface, but it is very likely to represent Wang Fang's will.
Now, Wang Bai chose to pull them to clean up Lin Haoran together, but it made some officials feel embarrassed.
If they don't go, they will inevitably offend this "soil emperor" Wang Bai, but if they go, they will offend Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang, and even Ding Yizhong, the envoy of the inspector.
Although it is rumored that Wang Fan will be transferred to Nanjing for retirement, and Ding Yizhong will also be transferred to other places, this is a rumor after all. If that's not the case, they're probably out of luck.
The political envoy is the yamen.
Wang Bai, who still had a white silk wrapped around his forehead, sat on the first seat with a gloomy face, and on both sides were the subordinate officials of the political envoy department, some officials of the judicial department, and other officials of the yamen.
Wang Bai has not been so angry for a long time, he was provoked by a small person, not to mention the authority, and he was also smothered from behind by the other party.
He didn't use the topic to play, not because he was good-tempered and didn't want to charge Lin Haoran with "beating the official" and "committing the crime below", but that he couldn't afford to lose this face.
If he makes a big deal out of it, Lin Haoran will certainly lose his image, but why won't he lose face?
He was a dignified provincial political envoy, and it was just a matter of fighting with his colleagues, and he was directly knocked unconscious by a lower-level official, which would become the laughing stock of the entire Ming Dynasty.
It's just that he can't swallow this breath no matter what, and he wants to make that kid pay the heaviest price.
It is precisely because of this that he has been searching for evidence of Lin Haoran's crimes these days, and plans to unite everyone to go to the court together. Even if that kid has the support of the Ministry of Rites behind him, and he unites so many Guangdong officials to write together, the court will inevitably favor his side.
There is a kind of justice that does not care about right or wrong, but tends to be on the side of the majority.
In order to achieve the goal of victory, he also spent some thought, and planned to focus his impeachment on a newly discovered matter. That is, during the Spring Festival, that kid actually burned down the Jiang family's house.
Officials pay attention to virtue, no matter how angry they are, they can't burn down people's ancestral homes. Just like you have to have a bottom limit to do anything, you dig up people's ancestral graves when you move, this thing is definitely not done by a gentleman.
In addition, there are some very common greedy ink, domestic slaves who commit crimes, encroach on land and property, and run rampant in the countryside with their own people, shaping Lin Haoran into a lawless official.
Wang Bai believes that as long as this matter is stabbed, even if Wu Shan can help Lin Haoran avoid responsibility.
He looked at all the officials in the hall coldly, and announced Lin Haoran's five major crimes in public, and anyone could notice it, and Lord Fantai's eyes were full of anger and murderous intent at this time, and he was extremely imposing.
The impeachment recital had been written and was quietly placed on the table in the middle, and Wang Bai glanced at everyone and asked, "Which of you would like to join forces with Ben Fan Tai?" ”
"I do!"
No one thought that the first to express his stance was Diao Laixi, the governor of Guangzhou Prefecture. After he realized that he was destined not to be reused by his mentor Wang Fang, he turned to hug Wang Bai's thick thighs.
"I do!"
"I do!"
"I do!"
……
Among the officials here, most of them still chose to stand on Wang Bai's side, and they were scrambling to hold Wang Bai's thighs.
After all, Wang Bai has two important positions: the political envoy and the deputy envoy of the sea patrol, and he has won the favor of the saints, on the other hand, Wang Fu and Ding Yizhong are both people who are going to leave Guangdong, and this place will still be Wang Bai's world in the future.
What's more, Lin Haoran did make a mistake, and signing on it is nothing.
Of course, there are also people who sit there and look at their noses and noses, and they don't mean to sign.
Wang Bai looked at the crowd of people, stroked his gray beard, and watched this scene with satisfaction. As for those who did not move, he also secretly wrote it down, and planned to settle accounts later.
With his current energy, it is naturally difficult to start a war against Wang Fang, but as long as he takes down this pawn, he can also consolidate his position.
Then he handed over the big black ship and the son of Galenel to the Franco-man, in exchange for the coveted ten pounds of ambergris, and by the grace of the Holy One, and everything would be restored to its original state.
"The Divine Decree has arrived!"
It was at this moment that a shrill voice suddenly came from the courtyard outside.
