This matter was easy to investigate, without even using the resources of the Xu family. Just by sending a few people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to inquire around the streets, and by asking some experienced merchants in this industry, Chen Wenjing knew that Xu Ziwen had not deceived him.
How could Chen Wenjing let go of such a good thing, not only speaking up for these innocent people, but also repaying the favor of the benefactor's family, and once the job was done, she could clear her name.
However, Chen Jingwen is very careful. He has been ups and downs in the officialdom for so long. He knows what things can be touched and what things cannot be touched. He is honest and wants to do things, but he is not confused. People who are not clear-minded, in this county.
There may be quite a few officials at this level, but at the level of Fucheng, it is extremely rare. As for someone who can reach the fourth rank and still run rampant in the officialdom like a dazed man, it is absolutely impossible to exist.
Such a person will fall either in the hands of his opponents or in the hands of his colleagues, without exception.
In fact, Chen Wenjing was born a little early. Thirty or twenty years later, the Ming Dynasty really had such a strange thing, Hai Rui Haigangfeng. Unfortunately, Chen Wenjing was not Hai Rui. He really cared about his own head.
This official hat.
Following Jin Yiwei's lead, he easily found the source. He really didn't care about Jin Yiwei, but the huge thing behind Jin Yiwei made him a little troubled.
Sihailou! Is this all the fault of Sihailou?
He seemed to feel that he understood a little bit why the Jinyiwei were involved. As for the Jinyiwei, he was not worried about this. He impeached them with one paper, and then found a few Qingliu from the same year in the court to support them. The Jinyiwei was just that, and the cabinet did not
Why should we not be loyal to them if we are the civil servants like them? I really thought that the current Jin Yiwei was from the Taizu era, huh! However, this Sihai Tower seems to involve the guarding eunuch Wang Yue, so this matter is not easy to handle.
Yes, Chen Wenjing is afraid of Wang Yue. The so-called county magistrate should take charge first. Since he is serving in Nanjing, he cannot get around this guard eunuch no matter what. Don't think that all officials are so moral. In the past few years,
When Liu Jin was in power, how many people in the world were fighting to curry favor with Liu Jin? The eunuchs were vicious and would retaliate. It was okay to impeach the Jin Yiwei for their misdeeds, but bringing Wang Yue along with him, Chen Wenjing asked herself, I am afraid that some of the consequences would be for him.
Can't bear it.
But it doesn’t matter. You can give it a small try first to see what Eunuch Wang is doing. Chen Wenjing smiled slightly. The Xu family can’t stand it, so let’s make a fuss first! See Eunuch Wang’s reaction before deciding.
How to do it!
Lying down in front of the case, Chen Wenjing picked up her pen.
"Who is in Mr. Chen's hands again?" The door was pushed open with a creak, and a man walked in with a smile.
Chen Jingwen didn't even raise his head. He treated things related to Wang Yue so carefully. He had to some extent absorbed the lessons of this man. He offended Liu Jin, and then walked around in the dark cell and came out. He was still so lively.
not much.
"Disturbing the market price and hoarding?" The visitor looked at the few lines he wrote on the paper: "You are finally bored, and you even take care of such things. These things should be assigned to the Tianfu Yamen."
!”
"Does Yingtian Mansion dare to take care of this matter?" Chen Wenjing said calmly: "Does Yingtian Mansion dare to take care of Jin Yiwei's affairs?"
"Jinyiwei!" There was a complicated expression on the visitor's face. It was difficult to tell what this expression meant.
"By the way, Bo'an, do you want to join in the fun? After all, the two of us are the left and right envoys of the Du Procuratorate. Didn't the Du Procurator jokingly say that we are the second generals of the Du Procuratorate?
You have dealt with people like Jin Yiwei before, so you know yourself and the enemy more or less!" Chen Jingwen raised her head and looked at the person in front of her.
This is Wang Shouren, the imperial envoy of Zuo Qiandu who was transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate this year, and the son of Wang Hua, the Minister of Civil Affairs in Nanjing. This man was previously in charge of the Civil Affairs Bureau in Nanjing. Later, he was convicted for something and was escorted to the capital for questioning. I didn’t know this later.
Liu Jin fell into the trap of someone else. He walked around outside and returned to Nanjing. However, his father was also transferred from the capital to Nanjing. It was probably because of his drag.
In order to avoid suspicion between the two fathers, he was transferred from the Ministry of Civil Affairs to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
After what happened, Wang Shouren seemed to have finally calmed down a lot. He came to the Yamen every day, either with a scripture in hand and a cup of tea until dark, or to find some acquaintances and study some knowledge.
Something, looking depressed.
Naturally, Chen Jingwen would not despise his behavior, but he always believed that this official, who was receiving a salary from the imperial court, should always pursue his own affairs in his position, wasting his time like this, especially this man who once dared to fight for injustice and peace.
It is a pity that the colleagues who were challenged by the giant officials on the spot were so depressed.
"I'm not dealing with them. I'm obviously being chained to Beijing by them, okay!" Wang Shouren waved his hand, seeming to be very interested: "Tell me what's going on. It sounds good to disgust them!
"
Chen Jingwen rationalized her thoughts and explained in detail what she had learned. The Metropolitan Procuratorate could inspect hundreds of officials, but Jin Yiwei was not among the hundreds of officials. All he could do was to take "
"Impeachment" is a matter of fact, but in this case, the matter is somewhat bigger. The impeachment of the dignified fourth-rank right minister cannot be so worthless. If hundreds of thousands of people are arrested and included in the memorial, at least this is
He also wants to impeach officials at the same level as the Nanjing Zhenfusi Yamen. He does not have a father who is the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs in Nanjing, so it would be best if someone can share the pressure with him.
"Is it a rumor?" Wang Shouren nodded slightly after hearing this.
"It's not just hearsay. I also sent people to verify it, and it's all true!"
"Oh!" Wang Shouren shook his head: "Such a big thing, when it comes to it, there should be a lot of complaints. Why don't I seem to have heard many rumors?"
"This group of Jin Yiwei is intimidating and intimidating. They use all possible methods and are so vicious that the victims dare not speak out, especially when they are right, most of them are ordinary people in the city. They are not so bold to harass the officials and gentry, and they are actively harassing them.
The sand becomes a tower, and each person exploits some of it, and the cumulative amount will be huge!"
"Well, wait a minute, I have to find out more about it before I say it!" Wang Shouren nodded, neither agreeing nor objecting, "If it is really true, even if the two of us jointly signed this statement, it has been rare for us to do it after being in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for so long.
Something serious for once!”
"I don't plan to just hand over the paper right now!" Chen Jingwen smiled: "Bo'an, do you think I'm such a reckless person? It's just a draft. Bo'an, just send someone to check, you and I
Let’s work together to give justice to the people of Yingtian!”
…
Wang Shouren left the Metropolitan Procuratorate very early today, but no one asked about it. This is basically the style of the major yamen in Nanjing. It only needs someone in the yamen to handle things, although there is nothing to do in the yamen. The capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate
Inspector, it is possible for ten and a half months not to be seen in the Duchayuan Yamen. Here, if you want to do something, no one will stop you. If you want to be lazy, no one will stop you.
He was really interested in what Chen Jingwen said. Of course, it was not because of Jin Yiwei's notoriety, but because this matter involved Sihai Tower.
Compared with Chen Jingwen, who has never had the opportunity to work in the capital, Wang Shouren is slightly better informed than him. At least, he knows that Sihai Tower has the name of Huangshang. Since it has the name of Huangshang, then so
Things that ruined the reputation of the royal family were done so grandly by the Jinyiwei. Either the commander of the Jinyiwei was really dissatisfied with the position under his buttocks and didn't want to do it anymore, or there was something mysterious in it.
Qian Wubing, the current acting commander of Jinyiwei, has some connections with him. To be precise, Wang Shouren still owes him a small favor, and Wang Shouren boasts that he still has some discernment in looking at people. If Qian Wubing
The disease is really ferocious and cruel, and it is as stupid as a pig, so it cannot bear the words he has given to the other party.
Wang Shouren has two judgments about this matter at the moment. Either he is a member of Jinyiwei who is misbehaving without telling the superiors. If this is the case, there is no need to go through such a troublesome impeachment process and just give Qian Wubing a letter. These misbehaving guys will definitely not
What will happen? Of course, he also returned this small favor by the way.
If the above situation is not the case, then it should probably be the business strategy of Sihailou. Wang Shouren is very curious as to what method Sihailou uses to lower the market price without letting these businessmen make noises everywhere. Well, this
It can be confirmed that if the businessmen started to make trouble, Nanjing would be in trouble already, and he wouldn't have to learn about it from Chen Jingwen's mouth.
Wang Shouren doesn't believe in the rhetoric he talks about caring about people's livelihood and caring for the people. Only the real benefits that the people get can be seen and touched. Sometimes, good governance may not really be good governance, and bad governance
It's not necessarily that the people don't like the government. Just like the Jin Yiwei, those who hate them want to put all the dirty words in the world on them. However, from a fair point of view, although the Jin Yiwei has gone too far from time to time, for the imperial court, for the
Sheji, they are not completely useless.
At least, Wang Shouren knew that in the army, there were many Jinyiwei who served in front of the army, doing the most dangerous work on the border, and there were even more Jinyiwei who went into the desert and wilderness incognito to inquire about the military situation for the court. The intelligence they exchanged with their lives
, became the basis for decisions on the cabinet desk in the hands of the general. These people may have died in a foreign country, and their identities are unknown, but who can deny that they are all good and strong men of the Ming Dynasty?
So, Wang Shouren decided to go and see for himself! Go and see what was going on. Of course, he wouldn't want to do like Chen Jingwen, who would send a few people out to ask a few random people and then draw his own conclusions. He would just
Believe in your own eyes, believe in your own heart.
He waved over a green cloth sedan parked at the corner of the street and got in: "Go to the Niu Market, Sihai Tower!"
