In fact, Xie Zhao and the others were just by mistake, so Xie Zhao was originally a noble child, and he suffered a loss last time, how could he stand this anger? For a long time, he was the only one in the world who bullied others, watched other people's jokes, and was actually made fun of in public.

Therefore, he took the lead, united with Zhang Tang and others, and ordered someone to go to Nanjing to investigate the matter, and except for Yang Tongzhi, everyone else participated in the six.

Originally, Xie Zhao just had the intention of trying, but when his people arrived in Nanjing, they just went to investigate one or two, and the matter came to light.

Not only is the matter investigated quickly, but even the evidence is found quickly, this is like someone is going to Nanjing to do business, just spoke, the other party will make it difficult, who knows that people not only help you finish the matter happily, it seems that it is not enough, and insists on stuffing you with more benefits.

Xie Zhao has been closed these days, after all, he is still a scholar, and his face is not thick enough to show off after being humiliated, the more so, the deeper his hatred for Xu Qian becomes, at this time, the family came back from Nanjing, and said: "Young master, I have already found out clearly, that Xu Qian is really a fake name change, it is said that it was done by the eunuch Wang Gonggong of Hangzhou, and it was done for a scribe in Nanjing." ”

How could a scribe do such a thing? Even if there was an order from the prince, it would never be possible.

After all, Wang Gonggong is only a eunuch in Hangzhou, and his hand can't reach out to Nanjing, so if he wants to do this, there is at least one chief official in the household department in Nanjing who is in charge of the same stream as him.

And the reason why the matter is pushed on the head of a scribe is nothing more than to let this clerk carry the black pot for others, and the officials protect each other, and it is not because of such a thing that a household head will be pulled down, compared with other ministries, the Nanjing household department still has some powers, although the chief is not a high-ranking official, but who knows if there are any characters behind this.

Xie Zhao is not a fool, he understood something in an instant, in Nanjing, someone wanted to rectify Xu Qian, otherwise the news would not have come so quickly.

He couldn't help but lift his spirits, and hurriedly asked Zhang Tang and others to discuss.

Zhang Tang and the others were greatly excited, and Wen Tao sneered: "In this way, after he claimed to be loyal and good, it turned out to be a fake, colluding with the ink officials to change their household registration, which is a big crime in the country, not only will he lose his reputation, but he will not be able to run away even if he is assassinated and filled with troops." ”

Xie Zhao smiled slightly and said, "That's what I said, but when it comes to the eunuchs, it's hard to guarantee that the prince won't bite back." ”

Su Tong was the most anxious, patted his thigh and said, "What are you afraid of, what if you have the support of the eunuchs?" Hmph, justice is in the hearts of the people! ”

Xie Zhao smiled bitterly: "It's just a pity that Yang Gongzi didn't come, if he is willing to come forward together, and with the support of the Yang family, things will be much easier." After laughing, he said: "But according to my guess, this Xu Qian must have offended some big person, otherwise how could anyone fight to offend the prince and break this matter?" There must be something else here, Xu Qian, this kid is very arrogant, originally Xie didn't want to deal with such people, but he dared to provoke my Xie Zhao's head, then it's hard to say. This time I got conclusive news, and we don't have to say anything, just spread the news and make a storm in the city, and then we will have our own envoys and followers. ”

Within a few days, this news spread all over Hangzhou, Xu Qian is a controversial figure, and it involves the eunuchs and the change of nationality, which will cause some attention.

In fact, at first, there were not many people who believed this rumor, but when someone learned that a clerk from the household department in Nanjing had been detained and interrogated, everyone realized that the matter did not seem to be just groundless.

Immediately afterwards, there was news that Zhu Zheng, the imperial envoy of Zhejiang Kedao, sent someone to go to the eunuch's mansion to inquire about the matter. Naturally, there was no response from the eunuch's mansion, and the envoy of Kedao was closed.

In fact, this kind of thing is easy to understand, and the imperial envoy suddenly asked, which means that someone has begun to pay attention to this matter, and some evidence must have been found. As for the next note to the prince, it can prove that these people have mastered something, otherwise they will never break ground on the prince's head because of nothing.

And the meaning of the prince did not surprise everyone, for the inquiry of the inspector and the envoy, he chose to be silent and too lazy to take care of it.

Such behavior is very much in line with the identity of a eunuch, in fact, this is indeed the best choice for the prince, admit the impossible, against? And how can you object? The more you say, the more wrong you are, the eunuch may be able to be powerful, but after all, it belongs to the vulnerable group in the Qing discussion, and there is no need to get entangled in it.

This kind of stormy momentum overwhelmed everyone, and immediately, the imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate arrived in Qiantang County with several inspectors and lived directly in the county office.

Although Hangzhou and Qiantang are one, the meaning of staying in Qiantang County is very clear, that is, they are determined to take this matter as a major matter. The dignified envoy suddenly stared at this seemingly small matter, of course, it will not be simple.

Without the support and acquiescence of the superiors, or what shocking evidence can be used to pull many people off the horse, just dealing with one Xu Qian will inevitably use a knife to kill chickens.

At this time, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce. This patrol envoy has already slept in the ya, and the Su county order, who has been entertained for a day, did not breathe a sigh of relief, in his opinion, the imperial envoy suddenly arrived, and it was also the history of the science and road, and he could not make the slightest mistake.

When he returned to his study, he obviously didn't mean to sleep, but muttered for a moment, and then whispered to a family member outside the door, "Go and invite Mr. Huang." ”

Master Huang hurriedly arrived, and said to Su County's order: "Dong Weng still refuses to sleep?" ”

Su Xian Ling saw that Master Huang was neatly dressed and hated, and said with a wry smile: "Didn't you sleep either?" Mr. Huang, please take a seat. ”

Master Huang glanced at Su Xian Ling, sat down, and said, "Dong Weng, has Jingshi's letter arrived?" ”

Su Xian Ling nodded his head and stroked the case: "This is the official's headache, the old man said in the letter that the current situation is confusing, it is better to wait and see what happens." ”

When Su Xian Ling said this, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and then his face showed a mocking look, and said: "All of them read the books of sages, and all of them talk about benevolence, righteousness, etiquette and filial piety, and everyone must be a sincere gentleman." But in my opinion, those sanctimonious people are fighting for power and profit, those who are eloquent are also fighting for power and profit, and those who are framed are not also the word for power? Fengyun Jihui, I thought it was Jingshi who was not peaceful, but who knew that even this Hangzhou was the same. ”

Master Huang said solemnly: "Dong Weng said cautiously, the affairs of the imperial court are too far away from Dong Weng after all. ”

Although Su Xian Ling is usually calm, but in front of Master Huang, he still showed some of his scholarly side, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Be cautious, be cautious, this official invited you to come because I have something to discuss with you, although the teacher asked me to wait and see what happened, but it involved Xu Qian...... Ay...... I wanted to be ruthless, but after all, I didn't practice enough, and I always felt ...... Doing so is a bit unconscionable. ”

Master Huang was silent for a moment and said, "The word conscience has long been related to adults. Lord Hu said this for the good of adults. ”

Su Xian Ling shook his head: "What you said is too explicit, I called you here, I still have to explain one thing to you, you go to find Xu Qian, just sue him, the imperial envoy has ironclad evidence here, and this matter is not small, whether his reputation can be kept or not is two words, the most important thing at the moment is to save his life, but after all, he is the protégé of Master Xie, as long as he denies it, at least there is room for maneuver, if he admits it, then someone will kill the chicken and make an example." ”

After that, Su Xianling sighed and said, "It's a pity that such a talented man is a pity." ”

Master Huang was stunned for a moment, glanced at Su Xian Ling deeply, and shook his head in his heart: "Dong Weng is still a little bit worse, it's no wonder...... No wonder he had to be sent here, and there were so many places for him to sharpen. Thinking like this, he could only agree in his mouth: "In this case, the student will go for a trip." ”
