After a fierce ideological struggle, Hu Ze decided to vote.
Ding Wei said that for this reason, he had to vote if he didn't want to.
Although Ding said that he was no longer the powerful prime minister at this time, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse. Ding said that he was not demoted because he was out of office this time.
But invite yourself!
From the prime minister to the magistrate, the official position has indeed changed, but taking the initiative to go to the magistrate's place and being forced to go to the magistrate are completely different things.
If Ding Wei was demoted, Hu Ze would not be so easy to talk to.
At this time, Hu Ze had already made up his mind and insisted that he had only embezzled five thousand guan.
Anyway, all the original ledgers have been burned, and no one can find out how much he has embezzled.
"good!"
Seeing that Hu Ze was willing to plead guilty, Ding Wei's expression suddenly changed, and he helped Hu Ze up with a smile and said in a gentle tone.
"Zizheng, don't worry, I will never treat you badly in the future."
Now that he had decided to plead guilty, Hu Ze simply sent Buddha to the West, but when he saw him holding Ding Wei's sleeves with a moved face, he choked with sobs.
"Zizheng dare not forget the kindness of the prime minister!"
"well."
Ding Wei sighed softly: "You cry this time and bear the stigma first. I will definitely make it up to you one day."
"Thank you, Mr. Xiang!"
Hu Ze dusted his sleeves and bowed his head.
"Why do you and I need to do this?"
Ding Wei smiled and then led Hu Ze towards the inner courtyard.
"Calculating the time, we haven't seen each other for two years. If we meet again today, I won't come home until I'm drunk."
Afterwards, the two came to the backyard. When they arrived, the banquet had already been arranged.
Hu Ze drank the wine very happily.
Recently, Hu has been having trouble sitting still, can't eat well, and can't sleep well.
Now, the knife has fallen, and he has also been relieved of a heavy burden.
It didn't take long for Hu Ze to get drunk.
However, just when he was about to get drunk, Ding Wei's words made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Zizheng, you will be staying at Shibosi Yamen in the past few days."
What?
Hu Ze looked at Ding Wei with drunken eyes. In a daze, he thought he heard wrongly.
"how?"
Ding Wei frowned slightly when he saw this.
"You don't want to?"
"Well……"
For a moment, Hu Ze was at a loss for words and didn't know how to answer.
It doesn’t make sense!
Why did Prime Minister Ding ask himself to live in Shibosi Yamen?
Even if he decides to plead guilty, there is no need to do so!
Suddenly, Hu Ze thought of a possibility.
Unless Prime Minister Ding intends to continue the investigation and asks himself to stay at the Shibosi Yamen, the purpose is to monitor himself.
"Isn't this bad?"
"The prime minister is busy with official duties..."
"Hey, what are you busy with?"
Before Hu Ze could say anything, Ding Wei waved his hand.
"It's not urgent, it's not urgent."
Hu Ze's mind was racing and he said hesitantly: "But...but there are still many things that need to be dealt with in the Yamen of the Prefecture."
"It's okay, let them send the documents to Shibosi Yamen."
After hearing this, if Hu Ze still doesn't understand what Ding Wei means, then he is in vain.
"Master Xiang..."
Hu Ze said with a sad face: "Didn't we agree?"
"It's agreed."
Ding Wei suddenly said: "But there is something I forgot."
"You still remember that I just left the table for a while, right?"
Hu Ze nodded repeatedly.
"Do you know why I left the table?"
Hu Ze shook his head blankly.
"The envoy has arrived."
After saying that, Ding Wei said with regret.
"Beijing already knows about the affairs of Shibosi Yamen. After learning about this matter, His Majesty immediately sent an envoy to Hangzhou day and night."
"Your Majesty knows?"
As soon as the news reached the imperial court, Hu Ze immediately panicked.
"What do you do here as a modern science and technology scholar?"
Ding Wei glanced at Hu Ze indifferently: "There is a fire in the Shibosi Yamen. It is such a big thing. I need to inform His Majesty. Is there any problem?"
"By the way, the new Jinshi who came to Hangzhou is named Zheng Jian, right?"
"Yeah."
Hu Ze quickly asked: "Master Xiang, do you also know him?"
"Of course I know."
Ding Wei glared angrily: "A scholar from Suzhou has passed the exam, how can I not know?"
"My lord, please forgive me."
Hu Ze patted his head and apologized.
"I drank a few glasses of wine, and my brain became confused."
"fine."
Ding Wei chuckled, not taking it seriously.
"Come on, keep drinking."
"Okay, I'll give you a drink, Mr. Prime Minister."
Immediately afterwards, the two started drinking again, but Hu Ze's mentality now was completely different from before.
After a while, Ding Wei could only sigh at the romance, while Hu Ze couldn't help scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously.
"Master Prime Minister, where is the envoy?"
After hesitating for a long time, Hu Ze finally decided to go straight in.
"Lieutenant, you have rested."
In one sentence, Ding Wei easily revealed the matter.
At this point, Hu Ze let go. He didn't want to continue playing riddles, but decided to break the casserole and ask the question.
"Uh, Prime Minister, I...I mean, what's the attitude of the envoy?"
"Don't worry, I will intercede for you."
Ding Wei was still looking at him and said: "I am responsible for everything, Zizheng. Just wait for the result with peace of mind."
In fact, when Ding Wei saw the person coming, he knew one thing.
This time, Hu Ze is dead!
It was indeed Zheng Jian who reported the fire at Shibosi Yamen to the imperial court, and it was not through the channels of knowing about Zhou Yamen.
At a critical moment, if something goes wrong at a critical node, you will know what happened if you think about it with your buttocks.
certainly.
Hu Ze had no intention of hiding the matter, and the purpose of burning the warehouse was just to conceal the real figures.
Therefore, as soon as Guan Gou of the Royal Pharmacy School saw this secret report, he immediately submitted it to the official desk.
Li Jie almost laughed out loud when he learned about the fire at the Hangzhou Bosi Yamen.
He is very familiar with this matter.
He remembered that when he was a child in the orphanage, he watched a TV series called "The Granary of the World".
Although the story of this TV series is fictional, the fire in the warehouse before the inspection came has become a classic that will be passed down forever.
After laughing, Li Jie didn't laugh it off.
Fire cases must be investigated strictly and thoroughly!
The City Ship Division is a matter of great importance for a century, and there is no room for failure.
Even if important officials in the DPRK are involved, there will be no tolerance!
Finally, if he finds that the roots are rotten, he doesn't mind uprooting them and just starting over from scratch with a new team.
Because of Li Jie's attention, Liu Maoqin took the initiative to take over the job.
Liu Maoqin is also anxious!
Seeing that Zhang Mao went to Hebei Road and won a great victory, when Zhang Mao returned to the court, he would surely rise sharply.
And he is still in the palace.
Although he could be closer to the official family in the palace, but he had no merit, how could he compare with Zhang Maoze?
That's why Liu Maoqin couldn't wait to take over the matter and traveled day and night to Hangzhou.
In less than three days, Liu Maoqin rushed all the way from Beijing to Hangzhou.
