Wang Zhi still didn't understand what Fang Yingwu said, and said in confusion: "Pretending? What kind of pretense?"
Fang Yingwu ordered: "First, lock me up; second, dispatch Dongchang Fanzi to investigate the rumors. It's that simple." Then he discussed various details with Wang Zhi in a low voice.
Wang Zhi raised her head and sighed: "Every time a person slaughters dogs for justice, most of them are scholars with bad intentions. I believe it! But there is one more thing. What should I do with the Wu family after it is deposed? Should I go there in the future?"
Fang Yingwu tried his best to make a devilish smile: "You said no, but your body is quite honest. Do you also understand that making friends with Empress Wu Fei will be good for you in the future?"
Wang Zhi always felt that this sentence was strange, as if something was wrong, but she couldn't explain it, so it was very confusing.
Fang Yingwu didn't give Wang Zhi much chance to make connections, and quickly added: "Okay, I'll write a few poems, and you can send one over every once in a while, so that we can become familiar with each other first. If it doesn't work or someone finds out,
Just ask for advice, since you are studying recently."
After the discussion was over, Wang Zhi returned to her true self as a powerful eunuch and shouted to the young eunuch outside the door: "Come here! Take Mr. Fang under custody for the time being, but don't wait any longer!"
Then when Wang Zhi went to the court again to arrange things, he saw that the expressions of everyone under his command seemed to be full of admiration for him. Apparently, it was because Mr. Wang had dared to detain Fang Yingwu without the imperial edict.
Although the factory guards can be considered unscrupulous to some extent, Fang Yingwu is a well-known thorn in the factory guard system. On the one hand, he is a rising star of the Qingliu forces, and the branches behind him are very loud; on the other hand, he is coercing
If you don't understand public opinion, you can easily gather hundreds or thousands of people to cause trouble;
In addition, he himself is too cunning and clever to deal with. In addition, there are many precedents such as the dismissal of the West Factory and the downfall of Shang Ming. Therefore, in the factory security system, there are many taboos against the sixth-grade magistrates such as the other party, and they are not willing to provoke them.
Just imagine that during the peak period, both West Factory and East Factory Admiral Shang Ming were helpless with Fang Yingwu, but they were in trouble. Who else could be stronger than West Factory and East Factory Shang Ming?
"This is an unexpected gain..." Eunuch Wang looked calm and calm, but he secretly muttered in his heart: "In the future, should I just call him here to beat him up and gain some reputation?"
Let’s not mention any gossip, but as the exam day was approaching, amidst all the rumors, a shocking news broke out:
The magistrate of Wanping County, Fang Yingwu, could not bear the harassment of rumors, so he went to Dongchang in person and asked the factory owner Wang Zhi to investigate the rumors. The factory owner Wang Zhi refused, saying: "It is better to guard against the people's mouth than to guard against the river. Why bother others? Besides, who knows what the rumors are.
Is it true or false?”
Fang Yingwu repeatedly requested, but the factory boss still refused. Fang Yingwu was angry and asked himself to go to Dongchang Prison. He cut off all news from inside and outside until after the interrogation to prove his innocence.
The factory official was moved by this and sighed: "I have always known that your father and son have always been honest and upright. Now that you want to avoid suspicion, how can you not allow it?" So he temporarily left Fang Yingwu in the East Factory, cutting off all communication inside and outside, and at the same time, he made a large official.
Rumors about the detective examination outside the school.
According to Fang Yingwu's opinion, Eunuch Wang gave this operation a very funny name, called "Chenghua 20-Year Special Operation to Combat Rumors in the Examination Hall."
However, everyone understands this. Eunuch Wang has just arrived in Dongchang, and it is normal for him to be eager to perform and eager to make contributions. It is not a bad thing to combat the widespread rumors in the examination room.
To this end, Eunuch Wang dispatched 300 fans, each with three people in a team. They were divided into 100 teams and scattered in the southeastern area of the capital for investigation.
Because rumors about the examination center are mainly spread among the candidates. Most of the candidates gather in the southeastern area of the capital, which is very close to Chongwenmen and Gongyuan. And because there are many developed businesses and hotels, it is the most convenient place for candidates to live. There are five to six thousand people.
Among the candidates, at least 80% live here.
For example, Fang Yingwu's good friend Hong Song did not live in his uncle's house, but rented a separate courtyard near Gongyuan.
On this day, he was chatting with several officials from the province in a tea shop, exchanging news and experiences. Suddenly there was a commotion at the door. Hong Song looked sideways and saw three well-dressed men coming in.
Then I saw the person in charge showed his waistband, cupped his hands to everyone in the hall and said, "No need to disturb you, gentlemen. We are from the Dongchang Official School. We are here specifically to track down rumors. We will leave after asking a few questions."
Then the officers and schools randomly selected a few tables in the lobby for questioning. Then one person came to Hong Song's table and asked kindly: "I wonder if you have ever heard the rumors about Fang Qingzhi and his son?"
Hong Song replied: "I have indeed heard it, but it must be a rumor!" The other party asked again: "Then where did you hear it?"
Hong Song replied: "I overheard it during the discussion between the waiter and the guests in the store." The official school continued to ask: "Which store is it? What is the waiter's name? What does he look like?"
Hong Song recalled it carefully and told the truth as truthfully as possible. Before leaving, the official school nodded and said: "Thank you for your cooperation. If you don't believe the rumors, don't spread them."
Hong Song turned around and looked around. The same scene happened to others. However, he heard another official standing at the table next to him and asked the person on the table: "I wonder if you have ever heard this before?"
, the rumor that the examiner leaked the test questions? It is said that the first three test questions came from..."
The person who was questioned was shocked on the spot, "What? There are still such rumors?"
There was another official standing at the corner seat and asked carefully: "I wonder if you have ever heard that the deputy examiner and a certain examiner are from the same province, colluded with each other, and planned to work together to lift the examination paper in the examination room.
rumors?"
The person who was asked was also shocked on the spot, "What? There are still such rumors?"
Hong Song was stunned when he heard two new rumors within a few breaths. Is this kind of question checking rumors or spreading rumors?
Three hundred officers, like passing through a sieve, swept through the restaurants, tea shops, and inns near Gongyuan one by one. All the information they asked were simply registered and summarized in a unified manner. In two days, at least they carefully inquired to the top of the list.
Thousands of candidates.
The inside and outside of Gongyuan are completely isolated. No news from outside can pass in, and no news from inside can come out. Therefore, it doesn't matter that the examiners in Gongyuan don't know about the rumors from outside, but the courtiers outside are extremely speechless about this.
It’s been so many years since we last seen each other, and it’s true that eunuch Wang’s style of doing things is still so exaggerated! It’s understandable that he’s eager to show off and eager to achieve great results, but he can’t be so reckless!
Is Dongchang's investigation method to suppress rumors or to help spread rumors? Originally, the number of rumors may have been one, but after two days of investigation by Dongchang, it became ten... If the investigation continues like this, it will become
There are no good people in Hongdong County!
So all the ministers couldn't stand it, and they all petitioned the emperor to restrain Eunuch Wang's actions! It is a good thing to suppress rumors, but you must also pay attention to skills and not expand them!
Wang Zhi felt a lot of pressure and pointed at the "detained" Fang Yingwu and shouted: "Master Fang! If I am tricked by you this time, you will never get any help from me in the future!"
Fang Yingwu replied lazily: "What are you afraid of? Doesn't this just show your ability to act to the emperor? The emperor only cares about whether you dare to do something, and doesn't care whether you are right or wrong...
"(To be continued...)
