After the concert went up, public opinion was in an uproar. Du Zhongxiao took the Bai family's case as an example, plus other news he heard, saying that due to industrial development, the governance of the government could not keep up, and all kinds of chaos arose. For the sake of the well-being of the people, governance should be strengthened.

The emperor's instructions were strictly investigated, and there were indeed different opinions in the political affairs hall, and there was a dispute for a while. In the political affairs hall, Bai Tingjian contributed a lot of finance, and he was a hen that laid golden eggs, which is where he has succeeded in recent years. Even if there are some cases under his rule, it cannot be said that chaos is rampant.

For a while, several parties wrestled, and several yamen argued for two days in a row, but there was no follow-up on what to do.

On this day, when the imperial history platform was played, Du Zhongxiao held the wat and said: "In the case of the Bai family in Ye County, the court has discussed it several times, but there is no conclusion. If the news is transmitted back to Ye County and is not investigated, I don't know what will happen. ”

Prime Minister Wen Yanbo said: "It's just a murder case, just hand over the witness to Jingxi Road and order the Criminal Division to review." ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Xianggong, as far as I know, in the past few years, there have been a lot of suspicious cases in Baiting Prison. For the sake of the people, it is better to use the Bai family case and send ministers to investigate thoroughly to see what kind of problems there are. According to folk rumors, there have been too many displaced people in the past few years, and there are too few natives, and there are not enough public officials and servants, and the rule is extremely chaotic. ”

Wen Yanbo said: "It's just a murder case, if there is evidence, then Jingxi Road will be re-investigated." In the past few years, under the supervision of Baiting, the field affairs have been opened more and more, and a lot of money and grain have been collected every year. If the peace of the place is disturbed because of a case, wouldn't the gains outweigh the losses? ”

Seeing that he couldn't make sense with Wen Yanbo, Du Zhongxiao no longer paid attention to him, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, according to the news obtained by Yu Shitai, there is a lot of chaos under the supervision of Bai Ting, far more than the Bai family case. Please take this opportunity to send the minister to Baiting Prison, in addition to the case of the Bai family, and at the same time take care of other local affairs. Now the train is convenient, and the minister is willing to go to the Baiting Supervisor and his party. ”

Zhao Zhen looked at Du Zhongxiao, and after a while, he nodded slowly: "This matter is okay." In addition, Bao Ke was sentenced on Jingxi Road to handle the case. After Zhongcheng arrived at Baiting Prison, he could work with local officials to investigate the cause of the incident in detail. For other cases, discretion may be exercised. ”

Wen Yanbo wanted to distinguish again, but when he saw the emperor's edict, he kept silent. In the past few years, he has collected more money and food, and has won consecutive battles with foreign countries, which is a rare good time for internal and external clarity. Especially the Baiting Supervisor, which has developed rapidly over the years, has overcharged money and grain, Du Zhongxiao said that there is a problem there, and Wen Yanbo is of course against it.

Du Zhongxiao was very surprised by such a result, he originally thought that there would be a fierce debate, and the emperor would easily not express his opinion, but he didn't expect it to be so easy. When he returned to the Yushitai, he called Guo Shenxi and other officials and said, "Today, with the grace of the Holy Lord, I will go to the Baiting Prison." The case is here, without the slightest delay, and it will leave tomorrow. The affairs of Taili will be temporarily replaced by Guo Zhiza after I leave. ”

Guo Shenxi arched his hand and said, "Zhongcheng, Baiting Jian is now the second largest state capital in the world, second only to Kaifeng Mansion. If you add the various materials transferred by the iron supervisor, it may be more money and grain than the Kaifeng Mansion. If something goes wrong, the culpability is not small. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Back then, I built a Baiting Prison on Jingxi Road, and now I have to be careful when I go to investigate the case?" After my recital was sent to the palace, it was a false talk for two days in a row, and no one came out to decide how to investigate this case, and how to get it! ”

Guo Shenxi said: "Because the supervisor of Baiting is very important, no one will easily come out to say what to do about anything." Wen Xianggong only agreed to let Jingxi Road review, which is the intention. Zhongcheng is gone, and there will inevitably be other things that will be provoked. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "This may be the case, but it still has to be done." I am in charge of this case, so you can rest assured in the capital. ”

The crowd said no more, but said yes together.

Yu Shifeng heard that Du Zhongxiao was actually very unaccustomed to holding this position, and he was still used to working clearly in everything. To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is not familiar to Du Zhongxiao. In the final analysis, Du Zhongxiao's actual education in his previous life did not have an accurate understanding of Taiwan's counselors. What's the use of talking? Politics is real power, and doing practical things cannot be changed by a few words.

In fact, this era is the time when the imperial historian has the greatest power, and he can directly contain the two governments. As long as the Imperial History Observatory is played, the national policy will also be suspended, and it is not just a matter of talking. This has a lot to do with the current emperor, who deliberately supported the Taiwan admonition system to contain the two governments. Du Zhongxiao's appointment as the emperor was originally intentional by the emperor, but Du Zhongxiao himself had not yet realized it.

Returning to the Yushitai, Du Zhongxiao ordered Bai to go to the Yushitai first, and instructed his subordinate officials to prepare to leave for Ye County. This trip brought Cheng Laiguang, a straightening official, several officials who were handling the case, and a group of entourage, and asked them to handle the case together with the Criminal Division.

Not long after, Bai Xian was taken to the Yushitai and went to the official hall to greet Du Zhongxiao.

Du Zhongxiao said: "Since I got your paper, Yushitai sent someone to Ye County to investigate." The sky is pitiful, and I happened to meet Yi Li, who exchanged IOUs from the bookstore in this case, and learned what happened. The Holy Majesty issued an edict, and I went to Ye County to supervise the criminal department to retry the case. Tomorrow will depart, and you will go with you. ”

Bai Xian saluted: "The grace of the public is like reconstruction." Daddy has a spirit in the sky, and when he hears this result, he should also be blind. ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded: "This case involves a lot, and it can't be delayed." The DPRK and China dragged on for two days, and I don't know if Ye County has received the news and whether there will be an accident. I have already moved to Wenye County to immediately arrest those involved in the case and prevent them from escaping. You go back and pack up and leave early tomorrow morning. ”

Bai Xian thanked him again, and as the officials went out, he returned to the inn to clean up.

Du Zhongxiao returned home and told Han Yueniang what happened, and said: "Early tomorrow morning, I will take the train to Ye County, you have to pay more attention to the things at home these days." There are many princes and dignitaries in the capital, and it is not as good as when they were in their hometown before, so don't make trouble. ”

Han Yueniang said: "I naturally know. In the past, when we were in our hometown, we were the richest family, and the villagers watched us eat, wear, and live. When I arrived in the capital, I realized that it was nothing, and there were many real rich and noble people. I have my own measure and I won't cause you trouble. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Since you entered the capital, you often go out to visit relatives and friends, and you don't know who to interact with. ”

Han Yueniang smiled when she heard this: "This kind of thing, you don't have the patience to listen to it when I say it, why bother." It's nothing more than a woman's family talking about some family members, talking about neighborhood news, and not involving political affairs, so much to do! ”

Du Zhongxiao shook his head: "That's not the case, the eunuchs don't know where to get involved in political affairs." How did Pang Xianggong leave the capital last year? Isn't it that the family caused trouble and was played to the court. Even if Pang Xianggong is not at fault, he still can't resist the rumors. ”

Han Yueniang said: "In this way, if you go to the capital as an official, I won't go out of the gate, and I won't step out of the second gate?" ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "It's not like that, you have to know in your heart, don't be taken advantage of." In particular, remember not to take money, and not to promise to do anything for others, so that nothing big will happen. ”

Han Yueniang shook her head with a smile, and didn't bother to pay attention to Du Zhongxiao anymore. His family has many industries and countless money, how can he collect money in the capital? As long as he doesn't interfere in Du Zhongxiao's official affairs, what can he do? Du Zhongxiao doesn't have much personal contact, so of course he has to move around more.
