Moreover, he went to visit Wang Tingxiang first because Qin Dewei had a clear understanding of Wang Tingxiang's political stance and knew that Wang Tingxiang and Master Xia were relatively close and could be regarded as people from his own side.
Looking at Wang Tingxiang's resume, we know that after the heroes of the Dali Conference represented by Zhang Cong (Zhang Fuking) came to power, Wang Tingxiang's strong qualifications and reputation should have returned to the capital as a minister.
However, he was either serving as local chief or governor, or serving as minister in Nanjing. He was nearly sixty years old, and he could not return to the imperial court until Zhang Fijing's power gradually declined. This was definitely not the right move for Zhang Fajing.
Although Wang Yiqi was closer to Wang Yiqi in terms of family ties, Qin Dewei had no understanding of Wang Yiqi's political stance, so it was risky to visit him rashly.
The first day in the capital passed like this. After a night's rest, Qin Dewei explained the situation to the Feng family and then set off from the Sanwu Guild Hall.
Although he didn't know where Wang Tingxiang's family lived, he knew where the Ducha Yuan was. The three law departments, the Du Cha Yuan, the Criminal Department, and the Dali Temple, were not together with the other yamen. Because of Feng Shui reasons, they were all concentrated in Xicheng.
A hard-working old-school cadre like Wang Tingxiang would definitely not skip work to drink and have fun during the day, so it was right to go to the Procuratorate where he worked to find him.
So Qin Dewei spent nearly an hour traveling from the southeast of the capital to the west city and found the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
He also gave some money to the clerk guarding the gate, saying that he was an old friend of Wang Zongxian, the director of the court, and asked someone to send his name card inside.
The censor of the capital is also honored as Zong Xian.
Wang Tingxiang's personal disciples and long-term followers naturally remembered who Qin Dewei was, and also knew that their master had close contacts with Qin Dewei when he was in Nanjing. After all, he had only left Nanjing for a year, and the impression had not dissipated yet.
So they didn't waste any time and reported it to Wang Tingxiang. Then they sent a message to the gate and immediately brought Qin Dewei in to pay their respects.
This surprised the clerk in the foyer. He did not expect that this ordinary young man was actually an old friend of Wang Zongxian, and he did not deliberately exaggerate.
The layout of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is different from that of Pechu. It occupies a large area and has many small courtyards. After all, there are nominally thirteen and one hundred and eighty censors. How can other yamen have so many officials.
Although Qin Dewei is here for the first time, anyone who likes to read online articles will be familiar with the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Can the protagonist who wants to improve his reputation leave the cooperation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate system?
Mr. Wang is wrong. It should be said that Wang Zongxian is not in the main hall now. He is sitting in the flower hall on the east side to meet guests. There are three or four officials sitting at the bottom.
Qin Dewei ignored others, went in to see the gift, and then presented the gift. Of course a person with high emotional intelligence like Qin Dewei understood that when he visited again after a year, how could he not bring a gift?
There is nothing about the gift that cannot be shown to outsiders. It is a handwritten book written by Qin Dewei, which is also a custom among literati.
When everyone visits each other and doesn't know what gift to give, they write a book in their own hand and give it to each other to express their feelings.
Wang Tingxiang took a look at the handwritten book. The two large characters on the cover were "University", and the small characters in the lower left corner were "Copied by Qin Dewei".
He was very dissatisfied and said: "Why is it just "University"? We haven't seen each other for a year, but we are still so sneaky and sneaky!"
Qin Dewei was speechless. Sending a handwritten book was just a courtesy! Why do you care about so many details?
After all, among the classics, "The Great Learning" has the smallest number of words, less than 2,000 words, so it takes the most effort to copy by hand.
Wang Tingxiang said again: "Aren't you studying the Spring and Autumn Classics? Next time I look at the copy of Zuo Zhuan, I may not have read the Zuo Zhuan in a long time."
Qin Dewei: ""
This is a book of 200,000 words! I have only heard that Hu Zongxian hand-copied "Zuo Zhuan" and gave it to Yan Song!
Of course, Wang Dazhongcheng, if you can fish out Mr. Feng, it is not impossible to copy it for you. Qin Dewei thought about it again and again, and counter-offered, "How about I give you a poem?"
When the other officials here heard this, how could they not understand?
Wang Zongxian's exchange with this young man was so casual and informal, so there must be something personal to say later. Why are they still here to be an eyesore? So everyone stood up and left.
After others had finished leaving, Wang Tingxiang's face straightened and he said with emotion: "I didn't expect that you would come to the capital for Feng En."
Qin Dewei asked doubtfully: "I haven't explained my intention yet, why are you so sure?"
Wang Tingxiang replied: "In order to protect Feng En's family on the road, you also beat up Eunuch Qin's family. How can you still not know what you did?"
Qin Dewei was surprised that the matter spread to Wang Tingxiang so quickly? It is not surprising if he thinks about it carefully.
What the Metropolitan Procuratorate does is that it is a place where people can hear what is said. If the information is not well-informed and the soup is not hot enough, then what is the purpose of hearing about it?
"Actually, I was also beaten by Quan Jun's family." Qin Dewei didn't know how to respond, so he just gave up.
Wang Tingxiang, who knew Qin Dewei very well, expressed his attitude with "haha", then nodded and said: "At a young age, you can uphold justice and not be afraid of power. You have the same demeanor as I did back then."
Qin Dewei was speechless. The first half of the sentence was very good, but the last sentence changed.
After Wang Tingxiang nodded, he shook his head again: "It's just that eunuchs are not very good now, they are too weak. I think back then, when Liu Jin claimed to be the emperor, he was so arrogant. I, a gentleman, fought to the death with Liu Jin."
Old people are like this and like to reminisce. Qin Dewei came to pay homage to the pier, so he could only listen patiently.
I don’t know how long it took, but I finally heard Wang Tingxiang talk about the glorious history of inspecting Liu Jin’s hometown when he was the inspector of Shaanxi Province. This should be the end.
Finally, while Wang Tingxiang was drinking tea, Qin Dewei quickly asked: "How is Mr. Feng's current situation?"
Wang Tingxiang introduced the situation and said: "When he was sent to prison last year, he was tortured by the Jinyi guards. I heard that he suffered a lot of crimes, but he carried it to the end and refused to confess anything. In the past few days, he was transferred from the prison to
The Ministry of Punishment is in jail."
Having said this, Wang Tingxiang raised his finger and pointed in the direction: "The Ministry of Punishment is right next to him. His situation should be much better now. He won't suffer much in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment."
Qin Dewei quickly asked: "Can I go visit you?"
Wang Tingxiang replied: "Feng En is an imperial prisoner after all. Of course it is not allowed for outsiders to visit him openly."
Qin Dewei begged again: "Please, Sir, please think of a way."
Wang Tingxiang sighed and said: "Fortunately, we are in the Ministry of Justice now, and they are all civil servants. Maybe we can arrange an opportunity to visit secretly. I will tell you when I think about what to do and I have an idea."
Qin Dewei was already satisfied with what he could say, so he could only write down Wang Tingxiang's thoughts first.
At this time, Chang Sui took a post and stood outside the flower hall and said: "Master! There is a cultural gathering tonight, and I invite you to participate!"
Wang Tingxiang is the only one of the former seven sons who has made great achievements in the court. It is normal for him to be invited to such an occasion to discuss literature and art.
But Wang Tingxiang said in disgust: "I won't go!"
This makes Qin Dewei very strange, Wang Dazhongcheng, as a big literary figure, why are you so tired of hearing about literary conferences? This kind of occasion should be the time for you, as a senior figure in the literary world, to show off? Are there any literati who are tired of showing off?
The Changsui reminded him again: "Wang Shenzhong is also going this time!"
So Wang Tingxiang didn't want to go anymore. Qin Dewei couldn't help but ask: "Why is this?"
Wang Tingxiang didn't know how to explain this problem. After thinking for a long time, he said: "I look at Wang Shenzhong, just like Nanjing Gu Dongqiao looks at you, do you understand?"
Qin Dewei immediately understood that seniors who were not as good as their peers were beaten repeatedly by juniors who were more talented.
However, looking at Qin Dewei in front of him, Wang Tingxiang suddenly changed his mind. It seemed that he had a plan to drive the tiger and swallow the wolf!
