Shuntian Prefecture, lobby.

Eunuch Chen stood in the court holding a bright yellow imperial edict. The yamen clerks were busy setting up incense tables in front of the court, while the auxiliary officials walked out of their respective offices.

Huang Zhongda, wearing a third-rank official uniform, rushed from the back house, but heard from the arrogant Eunuch Chen that the imperial edict was awarded to Lin Ran, so he had to stand obediently behind Lin Ran.

"Look at how you die this time!"

Although Huang Zhongda was about to be behind Lin Ran, he was not too frustrated. Instead, he looked at the back of Lin Ran's head coldly and cursed in his heart.

Lin Ran's bold and arbitrary act was naturally no secret. It had been completely spread in the officialdom in the capital, and it also spread throughout the Shuntian Prefecture, and naturally it also entered his ears.

Although he did not think that the emperor would dismiss Lin Ran’s post, such “evil deeds” would be punished poorly. If this kid had not been fined, he would definitely have scolded him a few words.

Once the emperor punishes this boy and has offended the Tianguan, his situation in Shuntian Prefecture will inevitably deteriorate, and even Lei Tongzong and others betray their relatives.

Chen Tongzong stood behind Huang Zhongda, and seemed to have the same idea, looking at Lin Ran with gloating eyes.

Punishment Lei Tong and others looked at Lin Ran worriedly. It was probably a blessing to send an imperial edict at this time. However, it was learned by Punishment Sun Tong's rebellion. No matter how they thought, no one had any action to turn against him.

Mo Fei stood on Lin Ran's side from beginning to end. At this time, he saw that the imperial edict was a disaster but not a blessing, so he directly passed by several magistrates. He stood behind Lin Ran like a proud song, and actually followed Huang Zhongda.

Huang Zhongda frowned and glared at Mo Fei with his eyes, but Mo Fei remained motionless, and in the end he did not hum.

Eunuch Chen saw that the incense table was ready, and Lin Ran, wearing a screeching official robe, was already standing in the hall. He raised the imperial edict in his hand and said lightly to Lin Ran: "Mr. Lin, please accept the edict!"

"My minister, Lin Ran, the chief of the Shuntian Prefecture, received the order, long live my emperor!"

Lin Ran bowed in a regular manner and led a group of officials to kowtow.

Is it a blessing or a disaster?

Lin Ran also weighed this inappropriate imperial edict in his heart, but since ancient times, the holy heart was unpredictable. Many times it depends on luck, and he has no confidence in his heart at this moment.

Eunuch Chen unfolded the bright yellow imperial edict and recited in his unique voice: "The Emperor Fengtian Chengyun, and the imperial edict said: Although Lin Ran, the chief of Shuntian Prefecture, was unfamiliar with the world, he made rash suggestions. He should make a decision, and let this be forgiven!"

this……

Huang Zhongda, who was waiting to see the joke, was stunned, his eyes full of confusion.

This impeachment of Yu Tianguan, and the emperor issued an imperial edict. Although he used "should be investigated" to determine Lin Ran's fault and even blamed Lin Ran for being ignorant of the world, he did not punish Lin Ran.

Lin Ran made such a big noise but did not punish him in the end, which undoubtedly shows that the emperor was not angry. And this "although he was heartless" was a kind of commendation and comfort to Lin Ran.

Although such an imperial edict seems to be reproached, it hides rewards. There is no play to watch here, it is clearly a kind of glory for Lin Ran.

call……

Punishment Mo Tong and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief. With their wisdom, they could naturally see the mystery of this imperial edict.

"I received the order, long live my emperor!"

Lin Ran also let go of his heart, and bowed in a regular manner.

Although he wrote a memorial to impeach Guo Pu and threatened to dismiss Guo Pu, he knew it was impossible.

Not to mention that Guo Pu is an official with some ability, just because Jiajing’s trust in Guo Pu is needed to help clean up the Yan Party, so Guo Pu cannot really step down.

The reason for targeting Guo Pu this way is because he understands a truth: crying children have candy to eat.

His real intention of impeaching Guo Pu was naturally not to really ask Guo Pu to step down. Instead, he hoped that through such a fuss, he would directly affect Guangdong's external investigation and disrupt the transaction between Guo Pu and Yan Shifan.

Of course, it is still not enough to just cry. Not only should there be sufficient reasons, but also to put a little pressure on Jiajing.

Jiajing may not care about the major adjustments of Guangdong officials, and may unconditionally trust and support the external investigations hosted by Guo Pu, but he must still care about the annual income of Guangdong Maritime Shipping and Shipping.

The same is true, why did Jiajing scold him this time, but he did not punish him? On the one hand, Jiajing clearly wanted to protect Guo Pu; on the other hand, Jiajing already thought that he was right.

Now, this imperial edict has been promulgated. As long as Guo Pu is not a fool, he will inevitably take the initiative to adjust the external inspection results of Guangdong officials, making the mobilization of Guangdong officials more moderate.

Especially Wang Bai, if Guo Pu cannot arrange a position of six ministers or above in the capital, he will not be able to move Wang Bai's position.

"Mr. Lin, because of your memorial, the emperor has specially summoned Shangshu Guo!" After Eunuch Chen handed over the imperial edict, he squinted his eyes and said as if he was pointing out.

Lin Ran's eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately heard the implicit sound, and knew that the filial piety of the previous few times was rewarded.

When the emperor summoned Guo Pu at this time, he naturally did not want to talk to Guo Pu and reminisce about the past. It must have been to protect Guo Pu while also guarding him and convey some signals more clearly.

If things go well, Guo Pu will even take the initiative to come to him.

"Not good!"

Just as he was about to send Eunuch Chen away, a detective ran in from outside in horror to report.

Lin Ran looked at the constable's panic look and felt a sudden slap in his heart, and a bad premonition arose.

"What happened?" Mo Fei was impatient and asked quickly.

The detective pulled his sleeves open, revealing a large bruise and said, "We will catch Yan Hong back, but the Jinyiwei robbed people halfway and had an armed fight with our people! Hu Niu took a group of brothers to a family and asked me to come back to report the news."

"Hu Niu goes to catch Yan Hong?"

When Lin Ran heard this, he seemed to think of something and turned his head to look at Huang Zhongda.

In the case of the Fan family in Yuanzhou, Yan Hong was undoubtedly the biggest suspect. It was just that Huang Zhongda had always protected Yan Hong, but after he disclosed it in Shuntian Daily, he forced Huang Zhongda to the crater.

But he never expected that Huang Zhongda would push the matter to the wild girl Hu Niu who was afraid of the world's chaos, and asked Hu Niu to go to this thunder, thus dragging him into the water.

Huang Zhongda faced Lin Ran's gaze and said calmly: "The case of Yuanzhou Fan clan cannot be delayed anymore, so today I asked Hu Niu to catch the person back!"

"You are really successful and actually plotting against a little girl!" Lin Ran said coldly, but he didn't care about wasting talk with Huang Zhongda, and immediately led the people outside.

Jiqingfang, outside a seemingly ordinary house.

Dozens of Jinyiwei wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring swords were lined up in front of the door and surrounded the house.

The predecessor of the Jinyiwei was the "Gongwei Department" established by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It was later renamed "Jinyiwei". Its main functions were to take charge of the guards, patrol and arrest, engage in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other activities.

Because he was the emperor's personal army and had the right to arrest him, he once became a nightmare for royal relatives and civil and military ministers.

However, Ji Gang, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was too inflated. When his power was overwhelming, his family raised a large number of desperadoes and secretly built tunnels to create tens of thousands of swords, guns, armor, bows and arrows, and wanted to rebel.

As a result, he was reported by an eunuch, and then the Censorate investigated the rebellion, and was eventually chopped off by Zhu Di. He was sentenced to Lingchi and was listed and prosecuted to the world.

It was precisely because of Ji Gang's person and affairs that the status of the Jinyiwei fell sharply. Later, in order to prevent the Jinyiwei from becoming the main force, the Dongchang came into being and became an institution to monitor and balance the Jinyiwei.

When this dynasty arrived, Lu Bing, the left governor who was deeply favored by Jiajing, emerged suddenly, which allowed the Jinyiwei to restore some of the courage of the past. The Jinyiwei even rarely suppressed the East Factory.

"Fire Attack!"

Sun Cai was the deputy Qianjia of Qiansuo, the west of Jinyiwei City. He was ordered by Lu Junshi to rob Yan Hong from these detectives.

I thought this was an extremely simple thing, after all, they were the emperor's personal army. As soon as they showed their identity, these constables handed over the people in fear and fear.

But then, I thought that these detectives seemed to have eaten the cadre of Xiong Xinbao.

When he explained that this time was not ordered by the emperor, these constables, led by a little girl, dared to fight with their Jinyiwei with real swords and guns.

Although he knew that the death of the left governor Lu Bing was a major trauma to their Jinyiwei, he was still unable to bully the constable of the Shuntian Prefecture Office, and he also felt angry in his heart.

"leave!"

Sun Cai waved his hand and resolutely issued an order.

With his order, dozens of Jinyiwei threw the torch into the yard with great force, as if they wanted to light the house and burn the house into a sea of ​​fire.

There is another scene in the house.

The tallest eldest son Yan was tied to a pillar. Zhang Hu led more than a dozen constables to find something to hold the door and prevented the Jinyiwei from rushing in.

Hu Niu, wearing a bullfighting suit, stood on the steps in the front yard. Her fleshy face was full of seriousness, and her beautiful big eyes were looking around, resolutely having a somewhat leader-like demeanor.

It was just then that a torch was thrown in from outside.

Hu Niu looked at the Jinyiwei who wanted to burn them to death. She immediately raised her eyes and went forward to pick up the torch on the ground, bit her silver teeth and threw it out hard, and loudly ordered: "Guard the back door and wait for reinforcements."

Reinforcements!

When Zhang Hu and others heard this word, they seemed to have new motivation. They remembered the resourceful Lord Gong Cheng, who was very tenaciously resisting the attack of the Jinyiwei.

It seemed that there was not enough to prepare for the torches. After throwing a round of torches, no torches flew in from outside. But the Jinyiwei began to attack from the front and found a thick crossbar from somewhere to hit the gate.

The Jinyiwei shouted and scolded louder outside. They actually thought of a new way, set up a ladder, and tried to climb over the courtyard wall on the left, but were beaten back by the rice jar and others with sticks.

The attacks of the Jinyiwei were like a tide, one after another, rushing towards the house again and again, as if a beast was about to rush in to tear them all apart.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The front door was hit hard by eight Jinyiwei holding a crossbar, and the door panel had already cracked.

"Stop it, our reinforcements will arrive soon!"

Zhang Hu held the door tightly with the wood and gritted his teeth to encourage everyone.

But he knew very well that if this continued, they might not be able to resist for long. Once the Jinyiwei rushed in, not only would Yan Hong in their hands be sent back, but they might also be beaten up.

Bang!

A firework rushed into the air and then exploded in the air.

"Stop it, they will come soon!"

Hu Niu came to the door and cheered everyone up.

The constables seemed to have been injected with great courage, as if out of trust in Hu Niu, they believed that this righteous sister, the sister of the Mansion Chief, would not deceive them and would use her tightly to hold her back.
