The red rays of the windows of this room came in from the small windows, climbed to the table, and drifted around with the swing of the windows in the wind.

Xu Ping looked at the slightest ray of catching light on the table and said in a deep voice: "The three departments were going to lay off people yesterday afternoon. Three or five hundred people gathered up early this morning, and no one behind them incited them. How could it be possible?"

"The deputy envoy said it well, but I just can't figure it out. What are they trying to do?"

After watching it for a day, Liu Han basically had a general understanding of the matter. This time, the high-level officials of the three companies must have participated in the incident, and some idle men on the street took the lead, and this result was finally the result. However, he just couldn't figure it out. The lower-level public officials were afraid of being laid off. Why are those upper-level public officials involved so actively?

Xu Ping smiled: "You are in charge of military cases, all the public officials and the transfer of remedies and even criminal prisons are under the control of military cases. But have you ever thought that you don't count all these things?"

"I am a judge, where can I make the decision? Of course I have to listen to the deputy envoy."

"No, what I said doesn't count!" Xu Ping waved his hand, "even what the provincial master said doesn't count!"

Liu Han smiled and said, "Does the matter of these minor officials have to be the master of the charge?"

"The prime minister wants to take charge, of course he can do it. However, most of them don't care. It's not that we say what we say, it's not that the prime minister doesn't give us power, but the minor officials have their own world and have their own leaders. If their leaders don't give us face, then we can only stare at them, and we can't do anything to them at all!"

"The deputy envoy said, this time the matter"

Xu Ping stood up, walked to the window and opened the window, looking at the world shining with the sunset outside.

"Why are the minor officials gathering together to make trouble today? Why do those in charge of public officials want to drive them out? Didn't Censor Han want to eliminate public officials? Simple, they just send out the candidates to be laid off. It's not enough to send them out. They have to go to the Prime Minister's Office to show their appearance, and they have to insult and vent their anger at the Censor's house."

Liu Heng finally nodded when he heard this and was surprised: "The deputy envoy said that the public officials who caused trouble today were selected by themselves and asked the court to cut them off? This."

"Yes, they don't like it, they usually use unsatisfactory people, or they refuse to join them, all of them rushed to the streets today! Today, this trouble, especially insulting the current censors, if the court can still tolerate these people, they will lose face. Want to lay off people? Today, the minor officials have already cut people for us."

"It's so outrageous!" At this point, Xu Ping slapped the windowsill suddenly. "Take the superior like a fool. If I swallow this, the official will not do it anymore. I will go home to farm tomorrow!"

After being in contact with Xu Ping for half a year, this was the first time that Liu Ying got angry when he saw Xu Ping. He remembered that Xu Ping was the kind of person who did not show his emotions and was tolerant of being kind to others everywhere. This is normal. The young man was a high-ranking official and had no foundation. He could only deal with everything in the officialdom and compromise. This time, it seemed a little different.

If the officials of the three companies succeed this time, including Xu Ping, all the officials will be basically out of stock. In the future, they can only handle daily affairs in a regular manner, and it is impossible to do something a little. Even the newly opened business may fall into the hands of these people. The officials above said that they would do something, and once they did not agree with the public officials, they would not object. Anyway, they would have no result and had no handle at all. In the end, the officials themselves felt boring and could only follow their wishes.

This prospect is quite terrible. If the official term is not long, the entire three departments will be controlled by the minor officials. In the future, things like the goods dealing with a few days ago may not even have a chance to discover.

What is particularly hateful is that these minor officials have little concealment in doing these things, and they are simply open and do not take the officials of the Third Division seriously at all. How could Xu Ping bear this tone? Even if they know that they dare to do this, they must be indulging the ministers in the court, and Xu Ping has no reason to give in.

When Liu Heng brought people to inquire about the news, Xu Ping also found Gao Chengduan to understand the specific situation of the lower level of the three officials. After talking for more than a long time, he came up with a preliminary concept.

Due to the serious relationship between hereditary and nepotism, including the Three Divisions, many yamen officials in the capital were relatives and relatives, and friends brought friends to form a huge network. The public officials had no channels for promotion, so they came to the public just to make money. No one cared about the country, law, and people's livelihood.

Over time, the net became closer and closer, and gradually combined with the high-ranking officials and powerful people in the capital. Seriously speaking, except for special circumstances, the combination of officials and public officials is indirect. No official is willing to deal with public officials directly, and they cannot afford to lose that person. But without direct contact does not mean that they will not be a protective umbrella for public officials.

For some high-ranking officials in the court, these organized public officials are very useful. They can not only obtain huge wealth that is inconvenient to take action, but also do things they want to do but cannot do. However, the public officials are restricted to death and can only struggle in the lower class, and there is no threat to the high-ranking officials. The two sides hit it off.

Collusion between the upper and lower levels and the inner and outer levels, the whole three departments are like a colander, and the goods service is just the tip of the iceberg. In fact, if you really dare to check the accounts of each business clearly, the amount will be quite amazing.

Only Xu Ping himself knew this kind of thing, and could not tell Liu Heng and others. They had just entered the official career and had to hold back their energy and wanted to make some noise, but they would have gone too far if they were not careful.

Xu Ping looked out the window and was silent for a while, then turned to Liu Ying behind him and said, "You don't have to go to court tomorrow, you just say that there is something in the department to ask for leave. Early in the morning, I will take people to arrest the public officials who have their names today, especially those who don't look like the three officials. No matter what method you use, you must take them back to the three officials. The military case is also in charge of the three criminal prisons. Before Kaifeng Prefecture and the Censorate intervene, you must first figure out the matter!"

Liu Wen said respectfully: "Subordinate to obey the order!"

"As for those lower-level public officials who were bewitched and threatened, every yamen will interrogate them together to ask clearly where their news came from and who was inciting trouble. Remember to record the letter clearly and kill the evidence!"

"I understand!"

"Tell those minor officials at the bottom that if they explain the whole story clearly, the three officials may give them a way out. Otherwise, they will take the blame for the people who bewitch them! With these minor officials' letters, don't be polite, just take the initiative to catch the senior public officials such as Kongmu and wait for me to go to court!"

Liu Ying responded to the promise and said, "These minor officials are extremely treacherous and just ask for confessions, but they are afraid that they will not say anything. The officials want to send a few reliable people out and find out the news."

Xu Ping knew that Liu Heng wanted to send a spy to spy on the news, thought for a while, and nodded: "Just let go, no matter what happens this time, I will take care of it!" To be continued.
