Naturally, the news about the Jinyiwei Yamen and the Command Yamen could not be hidden from the Bingbeidao Yamen.

Jiang Xin, the so-called Taoist priest, also smelled something unusual at this time. A big shot came to the capital, but he was different from the commander Hong Kuan. Someone in the capital had already prepared books and reports for him in advance.

So Jiang Xin didn't even have to think twice before she knew that the person named Xu was here.

The man surnamed Xu is a controversial figure. His official position is not high, but he has the advantage of being a holy family member. Now he is standing out for a small ninth-level official. First he went to the Jinyi Guard Baihu Office, and then he commanded the Yamen. He acted vigorously and resolutely, and immediately brought Deng Jian and

All his entourage were rescued.

If that's all, that's fine. The problem is that when he went to Tianjin, he didn't come to visit the Bingbei Dao Yamen first, but directly took such drastic measures to save people. So obviously, Xu didn't take him seriously at all.

In other words, she harbored deep malice towards him.

Don't be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid of thieves missing you.

If the person named Xu comes to have a showdown with me, I will give him some face. If I write a note, I will definitely release Deng Jian and others. After all, he is an attendant and has a bright future. There is no need to settle for a small ninth grade.

military attache, and offended people like Xu Qian.

However, he did not respond to the request and did not come to visit. Instead, he personally came forward to settle the matter. The implication was that he did not take him as the deputy envoy of military preparations seriously at all. The meaning here is different.

The distinction between friends and foes in the officialdom cannot be made clear in one or two sentences. No matter how nice someone may say in front of you, this person is actually a political enemy who wants to put you to death. Some people just nod when meeting you.

We are friends with each other. But when the critical moment comes, he will give you a hand. To put it bluntly, it’s not about what you say.

, but it depends on what you did. At least in Jiang Xin's view, Xu Qian's various actions showed great hostility. The royal uniforms were softened, and the commanding office also let people go. The man named Xu has indeed shown his strength.

, so what’s the next step? Will the next step be to stir up trouble, or simply to cause trouble for Jiang Xin?

Tianjin Guard was Jiang Xin's territory. Jiang Xin squinted and felt more and more that something was not right. He originally thought that after Xu Qian came out of the command office, he might come to Bingbei Road, but who knew that he would go back to Jinyi Guard instead?

Baihusuo. Stay in Baihusuo.

Sitting in the flower hall, Jiang Xin took a sip of tea and already had some thoughts in her heart. She would never let this matter go. Now that she has been released, isn't she telling others that Deng Jian and others are not guilty? He, Jiang Xin, was wronged

Good guy? Next, I'm afraid the person named Xu will come to settle the score with me.

But how can it be so easy to settle accounts? Jiang Xin sneered and said sternly: "Come in!"

The boss outside stepped in and said, "Master, what are your orders?"

Jiang Xin said slowly: "Dago, are there people from Beitang?"

Dagu and Beitang are collectively called Tanggu, and they are under the jurisdiction of Tianjin Wei. However, there are many immigrants there, and the imperial court did not set up a county government. Instead, it is under the direct jurisdiction of Tianjin Wei.

The manager hurriedly said: "Several village elders have already arrived, and they all want to report to your Excellency."

Jiang Xin smiled coldly: "Just ask someone to come in."

The chief nodded and went quickly. After a while, a wealthy middle-aged businessman came in. This man came from Beitang. In general, the village elders are old people or gentry, but because the people there are mainly immigrants, Long

Snakes are mixed, but most of them are merchants, so the so-called village elders naturally become merchants.

This man came in, quickly prostrated himself, and said, "Master, please make the decision for the common people."

Jiang Xin's face softened and she said kindly: "Please wake up quickly. What's your name? What's your grievance?"

This person said: "The villain Cheng Fang was not abandoned by his neighbors. He was promoted as the elder of Beitang Township and assisted the government in his work. A few days ago, a group of pirates suddenly appeared and wreaked havoc in Beitang. They raped, killed, and plundered. They did everything. The people of Beitang

He was deeply hurt by this. Afterwards, the villain led others to record that the pirates killed more than 70 good people and raped women.

More than 30 years ago, more than 40 houses were burned down, and countless goods were looted. Beitang was like this, and Daku was not immune. It is said that the damage there was even worse. Over there in Tanggu, there was never any

I’ve heard about pirates. All these pirates speak with foreign accents and flee far away after committing crimes..."

Hearing such a sensational thing, Jiang Xin was naturally furious and said: "Who in the world is so bold and what day did the incident happen?"

Cheng Fang replied: "The ninth day of November..."

"Nineteenth day of November?" Jiang Xin sneered and said to the chief: "Go and ask the prefect to come."

Zhou Qing, the magistrate of Tianjin, is an honest man. Since he is an honest man, he naturally does not dare to offend the superior. After hearing the order, he immediately came in a sedan chair and called his lord. He just sat down and when he learned about this, his face turned pale and he said:

"Who is so bold in broad daylight? How many pirates are there?"

Cheng Fang replied: "I don't know about this. Some say it's thousands, some say hundreds."

Zhou Qing took a breath and looked very ugly. As a prefect, he was naturally responsible for such a big thing happening under his rule. But then, he suddenly remembered something and said to Jiang Xin:

"Sir, on the ninth day of November, it was not a coincidence that a group of people

Is it the day when people who claim to be imperial officials and go to sea on orders are forced ashore? Tianjin Wei has always been peaceful, and I have never heard of such poor bandits. Moreover, the host said that although these people have foreign accents, there are many official officials.

What he said is very accurate, could it be..."

Jiang Xin suddenly realized: "If you didn't remind me, I almost missed this matter. They must have forced the login, repelled the officers and soldiers patrolling the waterway, allowed people to loot and murder the people, and then went to the foot of the Tianjin Guard City.

.Well...that's very good. I have never heard of such a viciousness. It's a pity...it's a pity..."

Zhou Qing said hurriedly: "I wonder what you regret, sir?"

Jiang Xin said: "I have noticed something is wrong a long time ago and took them all away. Who would have thought that there would be an unexpected incident. Someone came from the capital, but they moved around and let them all out. Letting these poor bandits out would either attract the wolf into the house, or I would.

I'm afraid it will be difficult to take someone away."

Zhou Qing was immediately furious. It would be impossible for him not to be angry. If this group of people caused such a thing under his rule, his official career as a prefect would probably be ruined. Now, if he cannot give an explanation to the court, I am afraid that

Even Wusha can't be saved. Since there needs to be an explanation, at least the court must be told who the perpetrator is, otherwise sooner or later he will have to bear the blame.

Zhou Qing suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Whether they are officers or soldiers, or who protects them, how can the Tianjin Guard tolerate such an appalling incident now? This matter is of great importance, why do you feel sorry for yourself?

, Now that things have come to this, we can only write a letter of impeachment immediately and appoint other important officials and generals to capture all these people."

Jiang Xin shook his head: "Did you know that the person was released by the Jin Yiwei and the command office? It will be difficult for them to get him again."

Zhou Qing sneered: "That's it. I have heard a little bit about what your Excellency said. Isn't it just that there is an attendant from the capital? We have taken over and don't care whether he is an attendant or not, and where he comes from."

, what are you afraid of? Your Excellency, do you dare to tell the truth about this matter together with your subordinates?"

Jiang Xin perked up: "Why don't you dare?"

Cheng Fang, an old man from that town, was moved to tears after hearing this, and said: "If the two adults are not willing to make the decision, hundreds of people in Tanggu who have been harmed will have no way to sue. Since the adults are willing to make the decision, the common people will be very grateful."

."

Jiang Xin helped him up and comforted him: "I will definitely ask the court to allocate money and food to make up for the losses suffered. After you go back, please tell the people and let them calm down. Sooner or later, the court will give them justice."

."

Cheng Fang thanked him profusely and then left.

Zhou Qing's eyes were wet and he said: "The people are simple and honest, but they are killed by evil thieves. If our parents and officials can't seek justice, what is the use of this black gauze? Sir, it is not too late to prepare a memorial as early as possible."

"

This sentence hit Jiang Xin's fancy, so he asked Zhou Qing to start drafting it. Zhou Qing was not unambiguous. Those who can win the Jinshi degree are naturally not bad. In a short time, a deafening memorial was written, and the words were natural.

It was so intense that Zhou Qing showed it to Jiang Xin. Jiang Xin sighed: "Although I am the deputy envoy, I am not as good as you." After saying that, he signed the pen and signed it, and Zhou Qing also signed it with his name at the end.

Then he immediately ordered someone to send him to the capital on a fast horse without mentioning it.

But he said that in the capital, the cabinet currently only has two ministers working. Although the number is small, everyone has tacitly agreed not to mention the appointment of new cabinet ministers. After all, the cabinet has already resigned two bachelors. It would be a bit unlucky to mention it now.

, the relationship between Yang Tinghe and Wang Ao has softened a lot recently, and many important court affairs have come into their hands. Although they have their own opinions, they both have a tacit understanding to keep their own boundaries and not get into trouble over such matters.

The atmosphere in the cabinet is a bit strange, but it's still calm.

But at this moment, a civil servant hurriedly came in and said: "Sir... it's bad, urgent report from Tianjin, there are pirates attacking Tianjin Guards."

Hearing this sentence, Wang Ao, who was sitting in the duty room, was shocked. Yang Tinghe, who was sitting in the duty room and was working, also rushed out.

Tianjin Guard is not Jiangnan. Jiangnan was attacked by pirates. Although it is important, it is nothing compared to Tianjin Guard. Tianjin Guard is the gateway to the capital. If pirates are bold enough to attack Tianjin, then given time
