Gu Congqiu continued: "The dismantled bones were clearly illuminated under the red umbrella, and the old injuries were clearly visible, but there were no red spots on the broken leg. I have already reported it to the emperor in a memorial!"

"

Liu Yongming smiled and said: "You reported it to the police without discussing it with Fang Xiaofu? You can do it! Don't you want to work in the Criminal Department?"

Gu Congqiu also smiled and said: "The emperor has summoned his generals and Fang Butang for questioning! Guess what! The emperor fined Fang Butang half a year's salary!"

Liu Yongming smiled even wider: "Do you think this is a good thing?"

Gu Congqiu was stunned and said: "Your Majesty is pleased with my words, and it is a bad thing for Fangbudang. Isn't this a good thing? If I have a chance to ascend to the throne, I will definitely be grateful to you, Mr. Liu! If you need anything, just..."

Liu Yongming rolled his eyes at Gu Congqiu and said, "Do you think my father is angry with Fang Xiaofu because he doesn't want to complete the Longxi case?"

"Is not it?"

"Of course not!"

"Why is that?"

"Fang Xiaofu belongs to the third brother!"

"This minister knows it! Minister Sima is also a member of the Third Master! I am the only one of the three members of the Criminal Department who belongs to the Fourth Master."

"The fifth brother complained to the third brother because he lost the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and wanted the third brother to stand up for him! My father has seen everything! What he wanted in his heart was to use my tricky methods to rectify the Ministry of Internal Affairs. He was afraid that

The third brother is causing trouble, so punish Fang Xiaofu, who is part of the third master's party, so that the third brother can have some idea! Fang Xiaofu's matter has nothing to do with you!"

When Gu Congqiu heard this, he took a deep breath.

Liu Yongming asked: "Have you been to Brother's place?"

"We're gone! Everything is as you expected, Mr. Liu. The eldest prince asked me why I wanted to relax the security in Chang'an, and I told the truth! The eldest prince thought about it and agreed!"

"Okay! With this matter on his mind, Fang Xiaofu has no time to care about you! But just..."

"Just what?"

"It would be really bad if the city of Chang'an is really in chaos... What is the ability of the prefect of Chang'an, Shan Quan Gao?"

Liu Yongming was astute and mentioned Shan Jugao, the prefect of Chang'an, in just one sentence.

Gu Congqiu said: "Although he is a flatterer, he still has the ability to govern, otherwise he would not be transferred to Chang'an. The Shanzhifu cannot control the security of Chang'an City, it is the Military and Horse Division. What about Liu Ye?

Are you asking about him? Didn’t you have any dealings with him on the ground in Chang’an?”

Liu Yongming smiled and said: "Although I like to tease people in those places as corrupt officials, I just make fun of them, and I really haven't had much dealings with them. I have only dealt with people from the Chang'an County Government and the Military and Horse Department. What is he?

Origin? Which prince did you follow? Where are you from?"

Gu Congqiu smiled and said: "There are so many princes in the emperor. How many of them who help the emperor in the court get along with you, Mr. Liu? If he is someone's disciple, wouldn't he have started fighting with you on the ground earlier?"

? Shan Zhifu is a man who has no relatives. He was born with the Jinshi. He was an official in the Qi State and later defected to the Han State."

"Oh? How did the people from Qi come to Han to serve as officials?"

Liu Yongming just wanted to clarify this matter.

Gu Congqiu said: "It has been more than a year or two since the emperor's recruitment order was issued. There are more people from other countries serving as officials in Han. Lu Li is still from Wu!"

"No. I want to ask, even if he was an official in Qi State, he didn't have to go through the imperial examination when he came to Han State?"

Gu Congqiu looked around worriedly and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he smiled and said: "This swan is very smart. It is almost impossible for a demoted official to become a high-ranking official in the Han Dynasty, but if he is a high-ranking official in the Han Dynasty,

If you were born in the imperial examination, that is not necessarily the case. Someone like Lu Libu can become a minister! So after Shan Gao came to the Han Dynasty, he did not want the official position rewarded by the emperor, but had to take the exam himself! When the emperor heard about this person

He is so ambitious that he wants to be awarded the title of Juren, but he still doesn't want it!"

"oh?"

"The emperor is actually in a difficult position. If he doesn't reward him with anything after being demoted to the Han Dynasty, who will come again in the future? But he really doesn't want Shan Quan Gao. In the end, he couldn't resist the emperor. He got the title of scholar, a house and two houses.

Thousand taels of silver. He was really ambitious. He passed the imperial examination in the first time, and passed the imperial examination in the second year. He was awarded the title of "Jinshi" in the palace examination! I don't know if the emperor has ever said hello to the people on the academic and political side.

!”

Liu Yongming felt a little surprised: "Even if he says hello, he won't be able to pass the exam if he makes mistakes in his paper! This is really a talent!"

Gu Congqiu smiled and said: "Qinghe's surname is Cui, and he comes from a noble family! His writing skills are not a problem!"

"Cui's surname? Isn't his surname Shan? Isn't he after Shan Tao?" Liu Yongming asked knowingly.

Gu Congqiu looked around again before saying, "Master Liu, you have asked the right person! No one else knows about this except me!"

"How do you say this?"

"The name of Shanju Plateau is Cui Su. In Qi State, he originally only obtained a city magistrate by relying on his status as a descendant of a famous family. Oh, it is equivalent to the county magistrate here. Suddenly one day, Tian Jikai of the Tian family in Qi State came over to take over his subordinates.

A man named Ye Lianzhi was sued, saying that he was a thief! Oh, then Tian Jikai is the big owner of Qifu Bank!"

"I know Tian Jikai from Qifu Bank. Is there anything wrong with this?" Liu Yongming asked.

Gu Congqiu chuckled and said: "Of course that's not right, then where is the Qifu ticket number? How could it be so easy for someone to take advantage of the loophole! It was Tian Jikai's son who made a shortfall, and that's how this account came about

, but Tian Jikai didn’t want others to know that his son was such a prodigal, so he framed Ye Lianzhi!”

"The results of it?"

"Cui Su found out the reason and didn't want to do what Tian Jikai wanted. But Tian Jikai bribed the prison boss and arrested Ye Lianzhi's wife and children!"

Liu Yongming took a breath and said: "This Tian Jikai still has some tricks up his sleeve! If Cui Su doesn't submit, go to the superior's office and sue him for causing harm to innocent people! Anyway, his Tian family has a great business and there are people in the court!"

Gu Congqiu said with a smile: "Sixth Master is wise and saw through it at a glance. But Cui Su refused to submit. Who knew that Tian Jikai sent someone into the cell and beat Ye Lianzhi severely, and was told that his family members also

In prison! In order to protect the safety of his wife and children, Ye Lianzhi had no choice but to write a confession in prison!"

"I see!"

Gu Congqiu said: "The prisoners all confessed, so this case is nothing more than that. In the end, it was handled according to Tian Jikai's wishes, and Ye Lianzhi was sent to the Zhengzhou City Prison Camp. Alas, this incident caused

Cui Su is like a puppet!"

Liu Yongming smiled and said: "This is one of the reasons why my father wanted to deal with the wealthy gentry of the aristocratic family! The gentry's influence in the local area is not small! If someone in the court is an official, he can even influence the case to prevent himself from being disadvantageous and causing trouble for the other party.

!and after?"

"Oh, Cui Su saw clearly that the officialdom of Qi was extremely corrupt, so he wanted to hang up his seal and leave. Who knew that Tian Jikai had no intention of letting him go! In the name of his family, Tian Jikai co-signed some local celebrities and Confucian scholars to Qi

You are petitioning to impeach Cui Su!"

"What crime?"

"The two of them were exactly the same as the old man's gang that fell into the palace. They demanded bribes from the squires and brutalized the countryside. Tian Jikai said that the reason why Ye Lianzhi was sentenced was because Cui Su forced Tian Jikai to give him three thousand taels of silver! Cui Su's reputation was not that great.

Tian Jikai was so bad that everyone in Qi State said that Cui Su was a corrupt official. Cui Su was so angry that he ran to Han State!"

Liu Yongming said with a smile: "He couldn't defend himself in Qi, so how can he defend himself when he comes to Han? My father will also think that he is a corrupt official, so how can he be given an official position again?"

Gu Congqiu said: "Sixth Master does not know something! I just said that I am the only one in the world who knows about this matter, and I am here!"

"oh?"

Gu Congqiu continued: "I had just joined the officialdom at that time, and I was appointed as a promotion official in Luoyang Mansion because I was born with the same Jinshi background! Suddenly one day, tens of thousands of people came from outside the customs and wanted to enter the customs! It was so dark that the court asked me to

Go deal with this matter first and arrange the relevant settlement matters yourself!"

"Tens of thousands of people? Where did so many people come from? He brought the entire Cui clan of Qinghe with him? Haven't you heard?"

Gu Congqiu explained: "No! Those tens of thousands of people are the business of Jingnan Kingdom! After Chu Zun conquered Jingnan Kingdom, tens of thousands of people escaped from Jingzhou. Those people first went to Nanyang Mansion. Qi Jun refused to accept them.

The people then turned to entering the Pass."

"What does this have to do with Na Cuisu?"

"Among these tens of thousands of people, there are more than a thousand Qi people!"

"Oh? There are more than a thousand Qi Guo Xin Zuo?"

"No! It was the people under Cui Su's rule at that time! When those people found out that Cui Su was going to hang up and leave, they surrounded the yamen, saying that it was rare to find a good official. If he left, no one would really care about them!

Cui Su saw that the people were so kind, so he had to tell the whole story and said that he was going to surrender to the Han Dynasty! In the end, many people were reluctant to part with Cui Su, so they came to Han with Cui Su! There were hundreds of households, more than a thousand in total.

Where are the people!"

Liu Yongming frowned and said: "Officials from the State of Qi brought old people and children to surrender to the Han State? How come I have never heard of such a thing!"

Gu Congqiu smiled and said: "How old were you, Mr. Liu, at that time? It's normal that you didn't hear about it. Besides, the emperor didn't want others to talk about it at that time!"

Liu Yongming understood it as soon as he heard it. He said: "If it is spread too far, Mr. Qi will lose his face, and there will inevitably be some unrest on the border!"

"Yes, that's it! We don't say it, and Qi Jun doesn't want to say it because the people have left. Anyway, the people of Qi have been mixed in with those Jingzhou people, and it is difficult to distinguish, so the matter is covered up. In the end, you know and I know, but I don't understand each other.

Announced."

"Shouldn't it be up to the prefect to settle those people?"

Gu Congqiu was embarrassed and said: "At that time, Luoyang people did not dare to make any move because they had not heard from the imperial court. I wrote a memorandum asking the emperor to accept them. But it was okay that the prefect and others did not accept them.
Chapter completed!
