In the past two days, Li Huairen was full of spring breeze and couldn't fit his mouth, he looked happier than marrying a wife, he walked a little fluttering, and the right waiter Lang Yanqing's face was pale, and he left with a cold snort. Seeing this, the small officials immediately shut up and were silent, and only breathed a sigh of relief when the two waiters left.

Not far away, Zheng Tianjian, who had just entered the yamen, couldn't help but ask, "Brother Chen, what's the matter?" ”

Brother Chen is already in his forties, the same age as Yanqing, but more than 20 years have passed, he is still an unpopular official. Glancing at the stunned young man who had just entered the yamen, Brother Chen said in a deep voice: "Presumptuous, the affairs of adults are also something you can discuss?" ”

This shout was not loud, but it was extremely heavy, especially harsh, and Zheng Xingjian immediately lowered his head when he heard it, and he didn't know what to say with an embarrassed expression. Seeing this, Brother Chen showed a satisfied look and said slowly: "Xiao Zheng, how many days have you been in the yamen?" ”

Zheng Xingjian immediately replied: "It is a full eleven days." ”

Brother Chen nodded and said, "You also have the heart to remember clearly, but eleven days is not short, haven't you figured out the door of our ministry yet?" ”

Zheng Xingjian is not a stupid person, otherwise he would not have been able to enter a key department of the imperial court at a young age, how could he not hear the meaning of Brother Chen's words, and immediately clasped his fists and bowed: "Please also ask Brother Chen to teach." ”

Looking at Zheng Xingjian, Brother Chen showed a teachable look, and then said with his eyes slightly looking at the sky and pointing to the country: "Our official department, naturally the largest Zuo Daren, is the old man who came out of Shannan Road, and is friendly with His Majesty today. In this way, the seat of Zuo Shilang is vacant, originally, Lord Yan has the highest voice, and he has even invited his colleagues, and he never thought that he would kill a Cheng Biting Jin halfway, but the Holy Lord actually transferred Lord Li from Jing Zhaoyin to our Ministry to become Zuo Shilang, how can Lord Yan give Lord Li a good face? ”

Zheng Xingjian sighed softly, revealing a look of sudden realization, and then looked at Brother Chen with a grateful face and said, "The student thanked Brother Chen for solving his doubts. ”

Seeing Zheng Xingjian's respectful look, Brother Chen was satisfied, but he poured cold water on him and said, "The water in the yamen is deep, learn more in the future." After a pause at this, Brother Chen asked again, "Do you know why Master Li is so happy?" ”

After all, it was a yamen like the Ministry of Officials, Zheng Xingjian heard some rumors, and replied softly: "I heard that Lord Li is about to follow the Seventh Prince to inspect Jiangnan and Huainan. ”

Brother Chen nodded and shook his head, opened his mouth and said, "Yes and no." Seeing Zheng Xingjian's puzzled face, Brother Chen explained: "The inspection is just a disguise, the saint must strictly investigate the rule of officials this time, and rectify the atmosphere of Jiangnan and Huainan, otherwise there will be no Yushitai and the Criminal Department to accompany him, hum, Chen heard that the seventh prince went out of Beijing with the sword of Shang Fang, and he cut first and then played." ”

Seeing Brother Chen make a head-killing action, Zheng Xingjian seemed to be startled, but then asked with a puzzled face: "Then, Brother Chen, didn't you offend people when you went out of Beijing this time?" ”

Hearing Zheng Xingjian's words, Brother Chen was stunned at first, but he couldn't help laughing at random, and said, "Young, no knowledge." Investigating corrupt officials and corrupt officials is the Imperial Historical Observatory and the Criminal Department, and furthermore, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, as long as they are killed, they can be appreciated by His Majesty, as long as they are appreciated by His Majesty, then they are not straight to the top? In addition, if you kill a corrupt official, someone has to go up to it, isn't our official department the official hat? This is all a beauty difference, otherwise, with Master Li's heart, how can he smile and keep his mouth shut? Hmph, even if there is an accident, there is also the Big Buddha of the Seven Princes, this trip is good, and there is no harm. At this point, Brother Chen showed a trace of envy on his face, as if he hated that he could not take over this trip on behalf of Li Huairen, and at the same time sighed: "The old man also heard that Lord Li was appointed by the Seventh Prince, and the accompanying officials were also selected by Lord Li, didn't you see that Lord Li's threshold was going to be broken in the past two days?" ”

Zheng Xingjian nodded, opened his mouth and said: "The student also heard that when Lord Li went to the Temple of the Divine Doctor to offer incense, he met the Seventh Prince, and the Seventh Prince ordered Lord Li to be responsible for this matter. ”

Zheng Xingjian is a small official who still knows about this, not to mention Brother Chen, but almost everyone knows about the yamen in the capital, although many people say that Li Huairen stepped on shit luck, but there are obviously many people who go to the temple of the divine doctor to burn incense and worship the Buddha, hoping that he can meet a noble person like the Seventh Prince, even Brother Chen also deliberately ran away, but unfortunately he has seen a lot of acquaintances, but there is no nobleman. Shaking his head, Brother Chen's mind suddenly moved, or he would beg Master Li with a thick old face, he was already in his forties, and if he delayed it any longer, he would really be like this in his life. His face changed several times, and Brother Chen finally made up his mind and ran out with a smoke.

Li Huairen has been really proud these days, feeling comfortable he has never felt before, and he can't keep his mouth shut in his dreams, but Li Huairen also knows that the stakes are very high, and after careful consideration, he determined a list and sent it to King Xiao's Mansion in person. Entering the Xiaowang Mansion, Li Huairen immediately restrained his smile and became respectful, and when he learned that the Seventh Prince Chu Haoyu was not in the mansion, he did not leave, but chatted with the chief housekeeper Wu Zhenfeng.

Wu Zhenfeng doesn't like words, so most of them are Li Huairen saying that Wu Zhenfeng is listening, but fortunately, Li Huairen has been Jing Zhaoyin for more than ten years, and his mouth is perfect, and the atmosphere is not dull. After waiting for an hour, Chu Haoyu returned to the palace, and Li Huairen, who was watching, immediately knelt down and said, "The lower officials pay a visit to His Royal Highness the prince Chitose Chitose Chitose Chitose." ”

Glancing at Li Huairen, Chu Haoyu walked to the main seat before he spoke: "Get up, sit." ”

After bowing again, Li Huairen stood up but did not sit down, holding a fold with both hands and bowing: "Lord Qiqi, this is the list drawn up by the lower officials, please take a look at it." ”

Taking the fold from Wu Zhenfeng's hand, Chu Haoyu glanced at it casually, opened his mouth and said, "This king is not familiar with it, Master Li should talk about it again, sit down." ”

This trip to Jiangnan, Chu Haoyu wanted to investigate the Heavenly Thorn Rebel to stabilize the Qian family, and also to rectify the rule of officials in Jiangnan and Huainan, both of which could not be slack, but Chu Haoyu was bent on tracking down the Heavenly Thorn Rebel, and he could only choose a capable official to treat him to rectify the rule of officials, although Li Huairen was sleek, he was a capable official, and he could figure out his intentions, it was precisely because of this that Chu Haoyu would pick him as a deputy envoy to patrol Jiangnan.

Li Huairen also figured out Chu Haoyu's temper, and when he saw that he let himself sit down for the second time, he didn't shirk it, bowed down and thanked him, and then opened his mouth and said: "The prince of Xia Guanzun instructed to select a few people from the imperial history platform, the criminal department, and the household department, and ask the prince to decide." Li Huairen already had a draft, and said in a deep voice after a slight pause: "The Imperial History Observatory supervises the Imperial History Cui Xiaolian, this person is known to be clear, and he is very trusted by the saints, and he has to lead the inspection envoys to inspect various places every year, and many corrupt officials have been found. Seeing Chu Haoyu nodded, Li Huairen continued: "Gu Cheng, the criminal department of the Criminal Department, is my famous and famous arrest and iron arrest, and has handled countless big cases, but he has offended many people because his personality is too upright, and he has been pressed on the punishment of the fourth grade, otherwise, at least a servant." ”

Chu Haoyu has really heard of this name, but whenever there is a big case in the imperial court, he will be sent there, and no matter how complicated the case is, he can find out the reason for it, but this person's upright personality and arrogance have offended many people, although he has solved countless major cases, he has not been promoted for more than ten years, and he has always been the criminal department of the fourth grade.

Seeing Chu Haoyu's thoughtful expression, Li Huairen felt a little worried in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he finally said hard-headedly: "Lord Wang, Xia Guan has served as Jing Zhaoyin for ten years, and he has cooperated with Zongsi and criminal punishment many times, and he is familiar with his character, he is upright and loyal to the country, although he is a little arrogant, he is not a pedantic person, and he knows which is more important. ”

After staring at Li Huairen for a moment, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and said: "The imperial court sent this king into Jiangnan to rectify the rule of officials. ”

Seeing that Chu Haoyu did not refute himself, Li Huairen showed a touch of joy, hugged his fists and bowed: "The lower officials remember the teachings of the prince, and never dare to live up to the prince's love." Stabilizing his body, Li Huairen continued to say just now: "Lord Wang Jiangshuo, the right attendant of the household department." Lord Wang's daughter married into the British Prince's Mansion, through this relationship, Lord Wang once served as the governor of Pingjiang Mansion but also folded his wings in Pingjiang, if it weren't for His Royal Highness the King to ensure that he would have returned to his hometown long ago, in the end, to everyone's surprise, the Holy Lord Wang entered the household to become the right attendant of the third product. ”

Chu Haoyu rarely asks about the rights and wrongs of the court, but this does not mean that he does not understand the doorway. The British king Chu Haoyuan is also a prince of the imperial court, and he has a deep relationship in the capital, but it is almost local to him, so he arranged for Wang Jiangshuo to enter the south of the Yangtze River. Officialdom has the rules of officialdom, although the prince can ignore the rules of this game, but he can't do it anymore, thinking about it, Wang Jiangshuo is not worth Chu Haoyuan violating this rule, but it is a little interesting for the eldest brother to transfer Wang Jiangshuo to the household department. Li Tiannian entered the household department, and he has been a household secretary for more than ten years, and he can be said to be a man of his word in the household department, coupled with the relationship between the Qian family, he is known as the general manager, but the eldest brother chose the fifth brother's person to enter the household department, or the right waiter, how Chu Haoyu can't guess the key relationship, but this Li Huairen is also a good person.

The foundation of the Qian family is in Jiangnan Province, and it is inextricably linked to Jiangnan Province officialdom. Thinking of this, Chu Haoyu's mind moved, could it be that the eldest brother had already had this idea when he transferred Wang Jiangshuo to the household department?

After a moment of silence, Chu Haoyu shook his head and said, "It's him, you make detailed arrangements, and you will leave Beijing in three days." ”

This kind of thing can't be rushed at all, although Li Huairen wondered why Chu Haoyu was so anxious, he got up and bowed: "The next official has an order, so arrange it." ”

When Li Huairen left, Chu Haoyu asked Sun Hou, "Is there any news coming back today?" ”

Sun Hou knew that Chu Haoyu had this question, and immediately replied: "Back to Gongzi, the news that Jiang Nanwei sent back urgently, Old Man Qian learned that Qian Lingyun was assassinated, and he vomited blood and fainted directly, if it wasn't for the timely rescue, I am afraid that he would have gone, and according to what Sun Taihe, a famous doctor in Jiangnan, said, Old Man Qian will not last long." Now, the Qian family has reached the point of tension, and the second member of the Qian family, Qian Sifang, the third Qian Susu, and the fourth Qian Yuan even quarreled in front of the old man's sickbed. ”

Nodding lightly, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked, "Old Man Qian hasn't expressed his position yet?" ”

Sun Hou opened his mouth and replied, "There is no news yet." According to the news obtained by the spies, Old Man Qian was about to set up his eldest son Qian Lingyun as the head of the family, and then he was assassinated. In addition, to date, there has been no movement of the holes. ”

Although Qian is not old, Chu Haoyu doesn't think he is confused, and he will definitely not forget Kong's sharp weapon, but what does he mean? After thinking for a moment, Chu Haoyu waved his hand and said, "Go down, report any news immediately." ”
