However, this also has side effects, the bad relationship between Ji Gang and the prince is also related to the existence of Zhang Yong, the prince's brother-in-law.

"You have to be careful that Zhang Yong and Wang Xian hook up together." Zhuang Jing said worriedly.

"I said Master Zhuang, you should be careful, Zhang Yong has been raising flowers and walking birds and playing with women all these years, and he has long become a waste, and he still dares to come out? My old king cleaned him up! Another member of Ji Gang's command, named Wang Qian, shouted angrily: "I'll go to his house for dinner tonight, let him be careful for me!" ”

"Okay, stop talking nonsense, you can go, don't use the banner of this seat." Ji Gang glared at Wang Qian, but acquiesced to his thoughts, and said: "Now the position of Beizhen Fusi is a brazier, otherwise Zhu Liu would not have left so happily." He didn't have any good intentions when he recommended Wang Xian, disgusting you is one thing, and he didn't have the idea of seeing Wang Xian's bad luck. ”

"The Governor of the Metropolitan is right," Zhang Chun nodded and agreed: "I heard that there was a fire outside the noon gate, and the emperor handed it over to Wang Xian, and the time limit was three days to solve the case." Saying that, he couldn't help laughing and said: "In three days, he couldn't even find the door of the Zhenfu Division, so what can he do to solve the case." ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, but soon Ji Gang's face became gloomy, and the laughter stopped abruptly, Zhang Chun asked cautiously: "How is the ancestor, what's wrong?" ”

Ji Gang seemed to have something unspeakable, and after a while, he said slowly: "Don't be careless, keep an eye on him for me, beware of capsizing in the gutter." ”

"Yes, don't worry, Ancestor!" Everyone was busy patting their chests and reassuring.

"What should you do, why don't you go?" Ji Gang usually likes to be lively, but today he feels very annoyed by the chaos, everyone is busy and interesting, and in the blink of an eye, only Zhuang Jing and Ji Gang are left in the hall, both with serious faces.

"Is the governor worried," Zhuang Jing was also a scholar, and he was deeply respected by the Discipline Compendium, and all confidential matters were discussed with him, "What about the fire?" ”

"Yes, if Zhu Liu took over the case, everything would be easy to say." Ji Gang frowned and said: "But halfway through, Cheng Bites Jin, who knows if Wang Xian, who is like a ghost, will see any clues!" ”

"It shouldn't be, the fire has been cleaned up, how else can he check." Zhuang Jing said slowly: "Besides, this fire was not set by us, how rich does his imagination have to be to connect with us?" ”

"But those damn North Koreans ran away," Ji Gang's brows furrowed even tighter, "and now you can't hunt them down with great fanfare, it's always a hidden danger." ”

"The governor is worried that they will fall into Wang Xian's hands, right?" Zhuang Jing said: "It doesn't matter, Wang Xian is just an outsider, but our spies are all over the capital, and we will definitely be able to find them before him." ”

"Well, intensify the search secretly, don't expose it." Ji Gang said depressedly: "At this juncture, there can be no more mistakes." ”

"Is the governor worried about the emperor's attitude?" Zhuang Jing asked again.

"yes." Ji Gang stood up, he was a typical Shandong man, extremely tall, standing there full of momentum, at this moment an angular face, full of worry and said: "This time it is obviously the problem of the Han King, but the board hit me." In front of the disciples and grandchildren, he had an expression of control, and now that there are no outsiders, he revealed the worries in his heart. said indignantly: "It's useless to be loyal to a slave, after all, you can't escape the life of killing chickens to show monkeys!" ”

"Why is the governor so worried," Zhuang Jing said, "No matter how dissatisfied the emperor is with the King of Han in his heart, he can't punish him now." Otherwise, wouldn't the world see the joke? ”

"Oh?" Ji Gang is so smart, he said through one point: "You mean, the emperor is punishing the King of Han now, which proves that the matter in Shanxi is related to the King of Han......" said with a mocking expression: "If you let the world know the Tao, the emperor's favorite King of Han is actually cutting off his own Lao Tzu's grain channel, wouldn't you laugh to death The emperor has no eyes?" ”

"Exactly." Zhuang Jing twisted his beard and said with a smile: "So the emperor does not punish the king of Han now, it does not mean that the king of Han will have nothing to do." Similarly, the emperor gave the Metropolitan Governor this time, which does not mean that the Metropolitan Governor will have something to do. ”

"Well, you have a point." Ji Gang nodded and praised: "However, the emperor came up this time, and it also made me secretly vigilant, the birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked." The fate of Mao Xiang and Jiang Xian is a lesson from the past of this seat! "Mao Xiang and Jiang Xian are the two predecessors of Ji Gang, both of whom set off a big case during the Hongwu period, the former created the Hu Weiyong case, and the latter investigated and dealt with the Lan Yu case. But in the end, they were all executed by Emperor Hongwu and served as a scapegoat to calm the anger of the public. Ji Gang's path is so similar to the two of them, he relied on purging Jianwen to oppose the party, and constantly eradicating dissidents for the emperor to get today's power. But now, seeing that the sea is mixed up, and the old party of the former dynasty has also disappeared, Ji Gang already has a feeling of uselessness.

For ordinary generals, they can also put swords and guns into storage, put horses in Nanshan, and enjoy the rest of their lives as a rich man. Ji Gang knows very well that a person like himself, who bears thousands of infamy for the emperor, has no possibility of going into the wilderness safely, because he still has the most useful value - that is, to bear the infamy for the emperor. This point, since Chen Ying was executed a few years ago, he has been soberly aware.

It was also since then that Ji Gang was no longer the cool official who only knew Lu Dao killing people for the emperor, and he began to plan more for himself. Only then did he move closer to the King of Han. His temperament is also more gloomy and suspicious, and the emperor's every move about him will arouse his fear and suspicion......

"It's useless to just worry, there must be a way before the car reaches the mountain." Zhuang Jing comforted the lord and said: "After all, the emperor is still a person who misses the past, and now he still trusts the governor, even if there is really one day in the future, we will not be like Mao Xiang and Jiang Xian, without the power to resist." ”

"Yes, it's still necessary to strengthen your strength," Ji Gang nodded, and sighed irritably: "It's better to rely on yourself than on anyone." Besides, it's a big disapproval, and the two tacitly stopped......

The prince was worried about moving the capital, King Han and Ji Gang were worried about the emperor's attitude, and Wang Xian was sad about the fire outside the noon gate. Time was pressing, and he didn't have time to go to Beizhen Fusi to have a look, so he took someone to Yingtianfu Ya.

The scene of the fire on Gozen Street has been cleaned, and if it weren't for the blackening of the ground, it would have been impossible to see that there was a fire here last night. Therefore, the very important step after the fire case - exploring the site, is meaningless. Now I can only hope that Ying Tianfu, who is cleaning up the mess, can provide something valuable.

In fact, it would be more appropriate to wait for the holy decree to come down and then go to the Tianfu Ya, but the time is too short, and Wang Xian can't wait to complete the procedure at all. Otherwise, when the will is obtained, it is estimated that three days will pass...... Coming to the mansion head-on, Wang Xian asked people to take his newly written name and stab him to get his name. When the official of Ying Tianfu saw it, the rank reads 'Qin Ming Beizhen Fusi Zhenfu Wang', and he couldn't help but be startled, it turned out to be the head of Beizhen Fusi! But after thinking about it, isn't the head of Beizhen Fusi Zhu Liuye? When did a king come out? However, they still knew how to do it, and when they saw that Wang Xian was wearing a four-grade military attache uniform, they hurriedly went in to pass the ceremony, and invited him to eat tea and wait in the gatehouse.

After a while, a five-grade civil official came out and said that Lord Yin was invited. Ying Tianfu is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and the level of the Fu Yin is the third grade, which is much higher than the fourth grade like the ordinary prefect, and the status is much higher than the latter, and the successive Fu Yin are all the confidants of the Son of Heaven. The current Yin Xue Zhengyan of Yingtianfu is a minister who is very trusted by Emperor Yongle, and he is also known for not forming a party, and he is called a 'lonely minister'.

Now this lonely minister who is forty miles away and has a clear face is standing at the door of the living room, nodding to Wang Xian with a smile, inviting him to come in and take a seat. ”

"With such an identity as Lord Wang, how can there be any reason to pretend." Xue Zhengyan smiled faintly and said, "Presumably, my lord was ordered by the emperor to come to inquire about last night's fire." ”

"Lord Fu Yin is really like a god." Wang Xian was a casual fart, he found that he really had the potential to be a chameleon, and without much effort, he changed from a living bandit in Shanxi to a hypocritical and polite Beijing official.

"False praise, the lower official just happened to see the adult enter the palace." Xue Zhengyan said honestly: "The adults are in such a hurry, it should be the emperor to solve the case within a time limit." ”

"Yes." This frank and sharp Xue Zhengyan actually made Wang Xian feel a lot of pressure. This pressure was comparable to what King Jin gave him, and Zhang Chun had never let him feel it.

"Then thank you, sir," Xue Zhengyan smiled and said, "The lower official can hand over this burden." ”

"Please also ask Xue Gong to take care of it," Wang Xian said sincerely: "Xia Guan didn't even touch the door of the Zhenfu Division, and the Holy One was limited to three days to solve the case, without Xue Gong's full help, Xia Guan would never be able to do it." ”

"Hehe......" corresponds to Tianfu Yin, and the most headache is the Beizhen Fusi, because the powers and responsibilities of this yamen actually overlap with Ying Tianfu, and they have the power to independently arrest and judge, so they often invade Ying Tianfu. Now that Wang Xian actually has a request for Ying Tianfu, Xue Zhengyan is also happy to do a favor, and smiled at Wang Xian: "Since my lord said so, Ying Tianfu will naturally not stand idly by." ”

"Thank you Xue Gong, there will be a good reward for the next official." Wang Xian hugged his fists.

"You don't need to be polite." Xue Zhengyan smiled and said that the people from whom they were born are different, and they are much easier to deal with than Zhu Liu. It's just that I don't know if he will have such a testimonial after seeing Wang Xian's living bandit side one day.

"May I ask Xue Gong, have you explored the fire site last night and this morning?" Wang Xian asked.

"Naturally, it needs to be investigated in detail before it can be cleaned up." Xue Zhengyan said: "If it weren't for the fact that the fire was in front of the noon gate, it wouldn't have been cleaned up so hastily." ”

Wang Xian heard what he said, frowned slightly, and said: "Xue Gong first said that he would investigate in detail, and then said that he was in a hurry to clean up, did he say that he found any suspicious points?" ”
