Huh?

Seeing Lin Weiran suddenly snatching He Dongxu, it immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Although He Dongxu knew that his situation was not good, he heard that Lin Xu was so cold, and turned around and asked with a tough look: "Sir, I wonder what else can I give me advice?"

Although there was not much fault in speaking, his face revealed arrogance and he would no longer bow his head to Lin Weiran easily.

Lin Qingran looked at He Dongxu deeply, but said in a shocking manner: "Come on, take off the black hat of the prefect He Mansion to the imperial envoy!"

As soon as this statement came out, everything was silent.

No one expected that Lin Weiran, who had always shown himself in a gentle image, would actually want to get rid of He Dongxu's official hat. This was the seal officer of Yangzhou Prefecture.

Li Yu and Xu Yu looked at Lin Weiran in surprise, as if they had met the imperial envoy again.

The people and scholars in the hall were stunned and looked at Lin Weiran in the hall in surprise.

After hearing the order, Li Jing, the leader of the Jinyiwei, immediately took two subordinates forward. The two subordinates kept He Dongxu in place, and he pulled off He Dongxu's black hat.

He Dongxu's black hat was forcibly pulled off, revealing the fact that he was bald. He looked disheveled, but he accused Lin Shiran loudly: "You have no right to punish me, you are overstepped!"

The power of officials often does not depend on their official positions, nor on their power, but on their power. It is precisely because of this that the second and third-rank officials in many places who are in the border areas are respectfully respectful when they return to Beijing to meet the fifth-rank Wenxuan Department.

He Dongxu was the fourth-rank magistrate of Yangzhou. His promotion lies in the assessment of external investigation and the distribution and dispatch of the Ministry of Personnel, but not in the Censorate, nor in the hands of a third-rank magistrate.

Lin Qingran snorted lightly, looked at him and said seriously: "Passes? On the first day of my imperial envoy entering Yangzhou City, I asked someone to read the imperial edict here. Don't you say you don't know?"

"What imperial edict?" He Dongxu looked at Lin Weiran in confusion and asked in greater confusion.

It was also at this time that he remembered that it was because of Chen Xiaoxiao's case that he had a dispute with Lin Qingran on the street and eventually left with his hands. As for what happened later, he really didn't know.

Lin Weiran's brows frowned slightly and said seriously: "I am an imperial envoy who is ordered by the emperor to patrol salt. If there are local officials in Lianghuai who are incompetent, they can be dismissed on the spot and submitted a memorial!"

When he first went south, Lin Qingran had the right to deal with the Yanguan and local officials in the Huaihe River. He had the power to deal with the Yanguan directly, and the prefecture and county official was dismissed and reported.

"I am not accused of... a position!" He Dongxu wanted to resist very much, but his confidence became more and more conscientious.

Lin Qingran looked at him coldly and accused him righteously and said, "I am the imperial envoy who is ordered by the emperor to patrol salt. It's okay if you don't cooperate with me, but you still stop me everywhere. It's obviously because you are slandering people's lives, but you want to slander me. I really don't know what's wrong! I am the imperial envoy thinks that you, the prefect of Yangzhou, are incompetent, and you are currently dismissing you. Take off your black hat and take off your position as the prefect of the Tongzhi."

"how so!"

He Dongxu was completely stunned when he was struck by lightning.

Although he knew that this time he would not be punished, he never expected that things would come so quickly. If these things were reported to the court, his position as the prefect of Yangzhou would definitely not be able to be kept, and he might even say goodbye to the officialdom directly.

"From now on, stay at home honestly to reflect. Wait for the imperial envoy to submit a memorial to the court and wait for the court to make a decision!" Lin Qingran said coldly to He Dongxu, then stood up and left.

Lin Xuran originally did not want to win He Dongxu in this way. First, he did not want to give people the feeling of relying too much on the power of the emperor, and second, he would inevitably use this power to attract criticism.

However, what He Dongxu did gave him sufficient reasons. In this era, it would undoubtedly be much easier to rectify the salt administration next, and there would be a potential deterrence to local officials in the Huaihe River.

In essence, the local situation is very different from that in the capital.

Senior officials in the capital are often very gentle. Even as the chief assistant, Xu Jie gives people the feeling of being kind like an elder next door. But when you get to the place, you need to be tougher.

A gentle Beijing official is more likely to be promoted to the Secretariat or to the cabinet, while a tough chief official and a seal holder are more likely to grasp the local situation. Lin Qingran has a deep understanding of this.

If he wanted to enter the cabinet, he would probably be as humble as if he was spitting on the face. But he is now an imperial envoy to rectify the salt administration, especially when He Dongxu provided such a good handle, he would naturally not let the others go astray, but should directly kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

He Dongxu watched Lin Feng leave with a waving his sleeves, and stood there stupidly.

Xu Yu and Li Yu looked at his appearance and sighed inwardly, then turned around and left here.

The crowds in the hall left one after another. The handsome old man in gray looked at the background where Lin Yanran left, and sighed softly, turning around and making a gesture to leave.

"Master, aren't we here to see him?" A strong servant looked at his master and chased after him in confusion.

"There is no need for this!" The old man replied with certainty and walked firmly towards the door.

Huh?

Xu Yu left the court and happened to see the old man in gray turn away. His mouth couldn't help but open slightly, and a name flashed through his head.

Among the current Ming and Qing dynasties, Wu Shan, who was the Minister of Personnel at that time, was the Minister of Rites in Nanjing, was the Minister of Rites in Nanjing, a Qingliu official who once openly refused to recruit the Yan family.

When Xu Yu saw Yin Tai appearing here, he was extremely surprised at first, but then he felt relieved. In this circle of officialdom, some teachers, and fellow villagers of the same year, naturally could not avoid some favor debts.

Looking at the entire Nanzhili, it is probably the only one who can really shock Lin Qingran, the crossing river dragon, Yin Tai, the Minister of Rites in Nanjing.

"Mr. Xu, what's wrong?" Li Yu followed up and found that he was standing in disappointment, and asked in confusion.

"It's okay!" Xu Yu shook his head gently, but he didn't want to tell this.

Although Yin Tai has been invited to Yangzhou City, since he has not chosen to come forward, he may not be a lobbyist. Besides, when things have come to this point, the key to the matter is Chen Xian’s side.

The news spread quickly, and the entire Yangzhou City was shocked.

This case actually involved Chen Xian, the transferee of the two Huaizhou capitals, and Li Yu, the deputy director of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing. The prefect of Yangzhou also lost his hat because of this case. The entire Yangzhou officialdom has changed dramatically.
