The layout of the important yamen in the capital is very particular. Like the position of the court, Dongwen and Xiwu are scattered to the south of Chengtianmen. In other words, from Chengtianmen, to the east along the imperial road are the Liubu, Hanlin and other civil servant yamen, and the imperial road
To the west are the military attache yamen such as the Fifth Army Governor's Office. In other words, most of the important civilian government offices are on the ground of Daxing County, while the military attaché yamen such as the Fifth Army Governor's Office are on the boundary of Wanping County.
The more special and exceptional ones are the three bureaus, namely the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple. Because of their special nature, these three yamen were all built in the Xicheng area far away from the imperial city according to the Feng Shui concept.
On the ground in Ping County. The meaning of this counterpart is that it saves a lot of energy and avoids many unnecessary mistakes.
Early that morning, a group of people gradually gathered outside the dilapidated county government gate in Wanping County. It should be said that there are many people coming and going outside the county government gate every day, but today's group does have a different purpose from the usual ones.
Yes, they came to donate money to rebuild the county government office.
Those who have some spare money at home are naturally willing to donate some money in order to avoid the hard work of corvee and taxation. There are still many such "middle class" families in the capital.
Suddenly, the broken door that was barely holding up as a cover fell to the ground, and then a young official in official robes appeared in the dust. Judging from his appearance, he must be the newly appointed Lord Fang.
Fang Zhixian said to the people outside the door: "I am very grateful for the hard work of my fathers and fellow villagers. As long as I am here, I will enforce the law impartially and restore the blue sky in this county!"
Everyone can say the truth, but at this moment, with the dilapidated county government as a backdrop, it is still very contagious - since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, has there ever been a tough county magistrate who fought so hard for the common people and dignitaries? Therefore, the crowd of onlookers was very
They cheered and cheered loudly.
Fang Yingwu cupped his hands in front of the crowd and said, "You are all guests today. But I cannot thank you all. Now I am going to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to accept the court's questioning and take my leave!"
Someone in the crowd shouted: "We are willing to go with the county magistrate to express our feelings to the master of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"
There was a lot of commotion outside the county government office, causing passers-by to stop and watch. Unknowingly, the spectators were mixed with the original crowd and it was difficult to distinguish them from each other. It seemed that the crowd had expanded several times.
Fang Yingwu replied loudly: "I have a clear conscience. The court has its own decision. Why should I work for you? If you are convicted by the court and no longer have the opportunity to serve as officials like your parents, or even become a prisoner under the rank, that is also my responsibility."
Destiny!"
After that, Fang Zhixian, accompanied by several entourages, headed southwest with heads held high. Many people around him were a little reluctant and at a loss after hearing what the county Zun said was so tragic. They couldn't help but follow behind, forming a trailing team.
.
This team was very eye-catching on the street. After walking for a few miles, some people spontaneously joined the team. After walking for a few more miles, the team became longer and longer. After all, ordinary people have a bit of a herd mentality. Waiting for the response
When Wu walked to the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, hundreds of people were already following behind him...
Lou Tianhua, who was accompanying him, looked back and muttered: "The proprietor has spent a lot of effort, but even if this formation appears, it is still of no use."
Fang Yingwu was enjoying the atmosphere of being "supported by all the people". He was enthusiastic about being praised by the people. He wished that he could immediately benefit a party and make his name go down in history. When he heard Lou Tianhua's unimpressive words, he reprimanded: "This is..."
Lou Tianhua quickly interjected: "I know, this is why I can't study well!"
Fang Yingwu secretly muttered a few times in his heart, what is the fan economy? What is Internet thinking? You idiot, you know nothing! Now it is just the initial promotion stage.
Later history books record: When Xianggong Xiaofang was ordered by Wanping, he was inspected for the first time because he had touched the dignitaries. People in the county rushed to tell each other and gathered to block the roads. Hundreds of elders gathered together and arrived outside the inspection court. They all called Yingwu
Xian.
Without mentioning other things, Fang Yingwu said that when he walked outside the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he raised his head and saw a team coming from the opposite side.
When he reached him, he saw another big man coming down from the sedan chair opposite. Fang Yingwu took a closer look and recognized him as Shang Ming, Eunuch Shang, the admiral of the East Factory. Fang Yingwu was very surprised. Why did Shang Ming come in person?
?
When the emperor issued an edict, it was indeed said that "Dongchang sits and listens", which is also a very common practice. When the Sanfa Division interrogates important cases, it is not unusual for Dongchang to send people to supervise as the emperor's eyes and ears.
But this does not require the dignified factory supervisor to be present in person, he only needs to send a representative. So when he saw Shang Ming, Fang Yingshi was really surprised and couldn't figure out what kind of medicine Shang Gonggong was selling in his gourd.
Shang Ming raised his eyes and saw Fang Yingwu, and smiled. He also saw a large number of people following Fang Yingwu, and said, "Hey, Master Fang is really busy behind you."
Fang Yingwu gave Shang Ming a simple clasped fist salute, and replied calmly: "The people have good intentions, but I am not willing to do it."
Then Eunuch Shang and Fang Yingwu entered the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Naturally, a small official led the two of them to the hall and sat down. Not long after, a senior official in scarlet clothes came in from behind and said politely as they walked: "This court is far away."
Welcome."
Fang Yingwu vaguely recognized that this person should be Dai Jin, the imperial envoy to the right capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, otherwise he would not have dared to call himself "our court."
Normally, the left-du censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the chief official presiding over the Metropolitan Procuratorate, while the right-du censor usually has a false title. For example, the governor-general plus a right-du censor means that this person is a second-grade imperial envoy.
But in the past few years, the situation has reversed. Wang Yue, the censor of Zuodu, was a great martial artist and was awarded a knighthood for his military exploits. However, he was a scholar and refused to give up his status as a civil servant, so strangely he still served as the censor of Zuodu.
However, Mr. Wang’s work focuses on the admiral’s capital camp and border affairs, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate rarely visits. Therefore, the nominal heads of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are Dai Jin, the imperial envoy of the right capital, and Wang Yue, the imperial censor of the left capital.
It has become empty.
Fang Yingwu secretly thought, since Dai Jin appeared here, he would be the one to ask questions today? This surprised him again...
The emperor said that "the Metropolitan Procuratorate should inquire and find out", then the Metropolitan Procuratorate would need to send someone to interrogate. Fang Yingwu himself was only a sixth-grade county magistrate, and Fang Yongpingbo, although he enjoyed superior treatment, was a second-rate honorable minister after all.
, so the Metropolitan Procuratorate can just send an imperial envoy or deputy imperial envoy to come forward.
In other words, there is no need for the chief officer of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to come forward today, but the second-rank right imperial envoy actually came in person. However, relatively speaking, since Shang Ming, the admiral of Dongchang, has appeared, then the Metropolitan Procuratorate has
It's not difficult to understand if the official comes forward, otherwise it would be too disrespectful.
Fang Yingwu looked at Eunuch Shang Mingshang, then at Dai Jin and Dai Zhongcheng, feeling increasingly weird in his heart.
The ceremonial supervisor, eunuch Bingbi and the governor of the East Factory, plus the chief officer of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the imperial envoy Youdu, this lineup is simply a high-standard, super luxurious lineup. Just for myself, a small sixth-grade county magistrate? Even if you include that
The second-rate honorable minister Yong Pingbo is not enough!
What makes Fang Yingwu even more horrified is that from what he has heard and heard and from some historical records, Eunuch Shang and Dai Zhongcheng are not of good character... A man of his own kind has fallen into this situation.
There was something vaguely ominous about the situation.
PS: Just like last night, I started to feel dizzy and sick again. Could it be that I ate in a hurry and the cold wind blew? I'll go find a hot water bottle first... The next chapter will be around 12 o'clock, if I can't fall asleep.
