Being impeached by his own brother, Xu Jie felt angry at his brother for behaving like this, but there was also a trace of fear hidden in his heart.

After all, he suppressed his concubine brother in Nanjing, not because he wanted to cultivate and train him, but more because he wanted to maintain his good reputation of not being selfish, and he also didn't want his brother to perform too well.

But now that he heard that the attitudes of all parties were about how he "taken care" of his younger brother, Xu Jie's mood became much calmer, and he looked up indifferently at his two sons who were hurriedly approaching.

Xu Kun and Xu Ying rushed home from their respective government offices and met at the door. They came to Xu Jie and saluted respectfully: "My child has seen his father!"

"Do you all know?" Xu Jie first narrowed his eyes and looked at a group of geese migrating towards the south, and then asked his two sons calmly.

Xu Kun and Xu Ying were slightly stunned for a moment, then they raised their hands together and said, "Dad, I just heard about it, so I hurried home!"

"Then what do you think?" Xu Jie's heart moved slightly, and he asked the question just now.

Xu Fan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, thinking about his wonderful performance just now, and couldn't help turning his head to look at the two younger brothers with disdain, but he knew that these two younger brothers were definitely not as good as him.

Xu Kun and Xu Ying exchanged glances, and Xu Kun immediately replied seriously: "Dad, I think the only solution now is to find another person to continue to refute Lin Haoran's attempt to seal the Diaomin register. Lin Haoran must not be allowed to do so."

The registration of unruly people was put into trial use in Su Song!"

As soon as these words came out, the gentle smile on Xu Jie's face faded, and he looked at the two sons with a serious expression.

"Xu Kun, what nonsense are you talking about? Didn't Wang Zhi already refute the record of unruly people this morning? Dad is now asking you what you think of the fourth uncle's impeachment of dad this time!" Xu Fan said to these two of him

The younger brother always disliked it, but he immediately criticized him.

ah?

When Xu Kun and Xu Ying heard these words, they realized that they had misunderstood.

"You guys rushed home in a hurry. Could it be that something big happened again in the court?" Xu Jie stopped drinking tea and immediately made a guess.

Xu Kun and Xu Ying immediately nodded solemnly, and Xu Ying stood up and revealed: "It is said that after dad left Wenyuan Pavilion, Lin Haoran promoted a new resolution at the cabinet meeting and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to arrest Wang Zhi in the name of the cabinet." There was a pause.

After a pause, he continued with a serious face: "The cabinet accused Wang Zhi of accepting bribes from Chen Boren's son and trying to rescue Chen Boren and others. This morning, the court even used public reports to prevent the trial of the unruly people. Just now, the Ministry of Punishment has already ordered Wang Zhi

Wang Zhi was taken away from the Liuke Corridor and prepared to put Wang Zhi in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment pending trial!"

Bang...

The corners of Xu Jie's mouth opened slightly, the tea cup in his hand suddenly fell to the ground, and he looked at Xu Ying dumbfounded.

It had only been a while since I came back and I had just calmed down, but this kid had already stabbed me viciously in the back.

If Wang Zhi's charges are confirmed by the Ministry of Punishment, then his previous refutation will naturally not be implemented, and the Diaomin Register may really be tried in Songjiang Mansion.

Because of this, his biggest chance of winning at the moment is to say hello to the Yamen of the Ministry of Justice and let Wang Zhi clear his suspicions in the shortest possible time.

Xu Kun watched his father's expression soften, but he gritted his teeth and added: "Dad, I heard officials from the Ministry of Punishment revealed that the matter of Wang Zhi accepting bribes has been basically confirmed. The officers of the Ministry of Punishment raided the house in the north of the city.

Nearly one hundred thousand taels of silver!"

this……

Xu Fan looked at the latest news and suddenly realized that the matter was much more serious than he imagined, but he couldn't help but look at his father with worry.

For a moment, the atmosphere in this pavilion was a little tense, and I didn't even dare to breathe heavily.

"This must be all that kid's conspiracy. He is such a despicable and shameless person!" Xu Jie ignored the tea stained on his trouser legs and hammered the stone table with his fist angrily.

Ever since he drove Gao Gong away, he might have been on full guard against Lin Haoran, but in the end he found that he was unable to guard against it, and now he was falling step by step into the trap carefully laid out by Lin Haoran.

Not to mention who led his younger brother Xu Zhi to impeach him, Wang Zhi's refutation must have been known to Lin Haoran for a long time, so he had already collected enough evidence.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to leave Wenyuan Pavilion, Lin Haoran naturally presented the evidence of Wang Zhi's crime, and then convicted Wang Zhi at lightning speed.

Next, if Lin Haoran continues to implement the register of unruly people, I am afraid that the other five section chiefs will have to seriously consider whether they want to step forward to help him refute the register of unruly people.

"Dad, what should we do now?" Xu Kun, who had the most calm temperament, asked seriously.

"I'm afraid we have to prepare for the worst! Which of the two brothers will go back to your hometown?" Xu Jie seemed to calm down, but he looked at Xu Kun and Xu Yingdao.

Xu Kun and Xu Ying exchanged glances. Xu Ying didn't like the restricted life in the capital, so she stepped forward and asked for help: "Dad, I'm willing to go back to my hometown!"

"Okay!" Xu Jie knew that this youngest son was the smartest, so he nodded calmly.

"Dad, my brother is too young and will inevitably act impulsively. It's better for me to go back!" Xu Fan no longer had the ambition to become the elder of Xiaoge, and he immediately stood up and expressed his stance.

Xu Jie frowned slightly. Although Xu Fan was the eldest son, he lacked the forbearance and shrewdness of the Xu family and was not the ideal candidate in his mind.

"Dad, why don't you let the eldest brother and the third brother go back together?" Xu Kun's heart suddenly moved, but he stood up and made the suggestion.

Xu Jie turned to look at Xu Fan and Xu Kun, and found that neither of them had objections, so he nodded lightly and said: "Okay!"

The reason why he tried every possible means to prevent the implementation of the Diaomin Register was not because of the destructive power of the Diaomin Register, nor because the Diaomin Register caused Xu Jiehui to suffer great economic losses. In fact, the thing to guard against was not the Diaomin Register;

"people".

No matter what kind of policy, it is always people who implement it. Just like when Yan Shifan was sentenced to exile, no one dared to take him to Leizhou, so Yan Shifan found another place to live happily halfway.

What Xu Jie is worried about is the "diaomin register + Hai Rui". Once Hai Rui's stupid young man uses the authority of the diaomin register to label Xu Jie as "diaomin", then his position as chief minister will not be stable.

.

Because of this, the imperial court has been trying out the system of registering unruly people in Songjiang Prefecture. Then the biggest threat to Xu Jie will be Hai Rui, the Hai Bijie who doesn't buy his fault at all.

Xu Fan and Xu Ying both knew the mission they shouldered, but they did not take the magistrate seriously and left happily.

Xu Kun, who was following the two of them, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, but it was his Xiao Jiujiu who was in love with him.

Once these two people leave the capital together, he will be his father's only son in the capital, which will greatly facilitate his status and conduct.

Xu Jie glanced at the broken tea cup at his feet distressedly, but murmured with hope: "I hope that with Lin Run's care, these two sons can handle the little prefect!"

As night falls, the capital lights up, highlighting the charm of this first city in the world.

In a certain room, a pale yellow light illuminated the man sitting at the desk and the paper in his hand, where he was concentrating on handling matters.

Each piece of information tells different stories, some can be connected with other things happening in the capital, and some are very independent individual things.

Intelligence, this is the primary productive force of officialdom.

Lin Haoran, dressed in black, sat quietly at his desk, where a large amount of information had been accumulated, including various news from the local area and the latest changes from the capital.

He is no longer a rookie who just entered the officialdom. Now he is not only a scholar of Wenhua Palace and Minister of War, but also has an intelligence network of his own.

In recent years of operations, especially since he has been connected to the Secret Detective Department that he personally built, the tentacles of intelligence have reached out to the mansions of all the court bosses.

It is after investing a lot of financial resources and manpower that his intelligence is superior to everyone else, and he is able to find out everything he wants to know.

Like this time, not only had he already guessed that Xu Jie would refute it, but his intelligence network had already reported the news to him. When Wang Zhi was willing to act as Xu Jie's lackey during the Li Ke incident, Wang Zhi

In fact, his fate has already been determined.

As for Xu Zhi's matter, it was also his own hands. Xu Zhi's impeachment of Xu Jie is a historical fact for later generations. Although the person who gave the negative review was Xu Jie's ally Yang Bo, it undoubtedly shows that Xu Zhi had suppressed Xu Jie for a long time.

There are already deep grievances.

Exactly like this, as long as he releases false news that Zhang Juzheng has taken over Gao Gong's position in Nanjing, and then incites others to stir up trouble against Xu Zhi, Xu Zhi will definitely vent his grievances.

Lin Haoran picked up the tea cup next to him and was about to bring it to his mouth when he found that the tea cup was empty. Since he didn't want anyone to disturb his work at this time, no one would come to refill the tea.

He was actually extremely satisfied with the results of his intelligence excavation and layout. It was precisely thanks to knowing this key information first that he was able to take the lead this time, and once led Xu Jie by the nose.

.

As long as the diaomin registration is successfully implemented in Su Song, the most critical step in overthrowing Xu will be completed.

Sun Jixiang and Wang Zhideng came to the room, only to see Lin Haoran still processing information. The two were drinking tea and chatting in the outer hall, with two plates of exquisite pastries placed next to them.

Sun Jixiang remembered that his granddaughter liked Lin's pastries, so he carefully hid the two pastries in his sleeves, preparing to take them back for his granddaughter to enjoy.

After a while, Lin Haoran came out from handling official duties. Listening to the two men talking optimistically about the results of tomorrow's morning meeting, his brows could not help but frown slightly.

"Dong Weng, do you think that tomorrow morning the chief of the Sixth Section will jump out to refute the unruly people's registration?" Wang Zhideng asked in surprise when he saw this.

Lin Haoran sat down on the chair next to him, but shook his head firmly and said: "This matter is no longer something to be afraid of! Those five section chiefs are either one of our own, or we have obtained relevant evidence about their crimes. At most, our side

Making it look uglier will only make people more afraid of us! But no matter what, it is imperative for me to register the unruly people this time!"

Although the trial implementation of Diao Minshan was to bring down Xu Jie, his vision was not limited to this. He also hoped that one day Diao Minshan could be fully implemented to solve the stubborn problem of tax evasion and evasion, which was the largest tax category in the Ming Dynasty.

That's why, even if he was too forceful in pushing for Diao Min's registration this time, he would not hesitate to do so.

"Dong Weng, are you worried that Hai Rui won't be able to accomplish anything in Songjiang Mansion?" Sun Jixiang poured tea for Lin Haoran himself and immediately made a judgment.

Lin Haoran picked up the teacup, looked up at Sun Jixiang and said: "Mr. Sun knows what I mean! Haigangfeng has a heart to love the people and has the courage to do things, but to do things you must have hands to follow orders! The Xu family is entrenched in Songjiang

After many years, and now with Lin Run and other members of the Xu Party taking care of him, it is difficult for Hai Rui to let go of his hands and do things, and I am afraid that his position will not be stable!"

"According to my observation, Hai Rui is indeed as incorruptible as water. I'm afraid he can't find fault with him!" Wang Zhideng frowned slightly, but said seriously.

"Today's public officials are all fault-finders in order to get higher positions! It's just that anyone who wants to do things will inevitably make some mistakes, and officials like Hai Rui have more problems than corrupt officials!" Sun Jixiang put the teapot down.

Put it down gently and immediately express a different opinion.

Lin Haoran took a sip of tea and nodded with a clear mind: "The primary question now is not whether Hai Rui can implement the system of unruly people, but whether his position can be secure! Those in the Xu Party will not only treat Hai Rui

He is picky, and he also secretly stumbles, and will try his best to get Hai Rui away!"

Although his appearance made history different, the general environment of the Ming Dynasty did not fundamentally change, and Hai Rui was still a person who was incompatible with the general environment.

He was never worried that Hai Rui would be afraid of power and would not dare to do things, nor was he worried that Hai Rui would lose his original intention of praying for the people, but was worried that Hai Rui's position would be unstable.

With Hai Rui's style of doing things for the people without expecting anything in return, not only the people below him dislike him, but the people above him also don't like him. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to do anything in Songjiang Mansion.
