In three years, he had reached a position as an official that some people would never be able to reach in their lifetime. In addition to Zhou Xianlang being indeed a talented person, he also had a good apprenticeship.
In other words, Zhou Xianlang was promoted this week because of his connections with Wang Boduan, otherwise even if he took a plane, he would not be able to do so quickly.
Hang Tianyi stood in front of the gate of Zhou Mansion, looked up at the rather spectacular Zhou Mansion, and thought to himself, how much money would it take to build such a mansion?
The reason why honest officials are precious is indeed because there are too few honest officials. No matter which dynasty or higher in the court, officials themselves cannot believe that they are clean.
But there are two types of officials in the court: one is corrupt, but can still do something, and the other is corrupt, unable to do anything.
If it's the first type, as long as it doesn't go too far, the royal family will turn a blind eye and ignore it.
The second type of people who can still survive usually have a backer.
It is true that Zhou Xianlang was a disciple of Prime Minister Wang Boduan, but he was indeed capable of doing things.
Over the years, he has been dealing with the emperor and Wang Boduan, getting both sides, but he has prospered.
Above the court, countless officials were envious.
"Excuse me, I'd like to inform you that Hang Tianyi, the head of the Kyoto Prefecture, is here to visit Mr. Zhou!" Hang Tianyi stepped forward, and he must have the proper etiquette. This is his consistent principle of life.
Zhou Xianlang is from Wang Boduan. He heard Hang Tianyi's name because of his scary family, so he took a look at Hang Tianyi.
This guy has repeatedly opposed the Prime Minister's Office. They actually don't want to go in and report it. They just want to teach Hang Tianyi a lesson.
But as soon as he remembered his master's instructions, he went in.
According to the usual time, Zhou Xianlang, as the Minister of Rites, was in the morning court.
But his son disappeared, and he was busy looking for his son in order to ask for leave from the emperor.
Not long after, Zhou Xianlang came out along with the servant who went in to report. This was a man in his thirties.
He has a mustache and looks extremely elegant, but his face has a slightly tired look, which is obviously due to the disappearance of his son.
"Captain Hang came to see me. What advice can I give you?" Zhou Xianlang obviously would not look down upon Hang Tianyi. He came out to see him just out of politeness. In addition, there was his son's case.
Hang Tianyi cupped his hands and saluted: "I don't dare. I came here this time because of my humble position to deal with the disappearance of my son!"
After several cases, Hang Tianyi has become a famous detective. After hearing these words, Zhou Xianlang's expression obviously relaxed a lot.
"Please come into the room to talk!" Zhou Xianlang made a polite "please" gesture.
Naturally, Hang Tianyi would not go in front. After all, his status is here, and he is just a small catcher who is not even an official.
After entering the Zhou Mansion and sitting down in the hall, Hang Tianyi said: "Master Zhou, can you tell me in detail about the process of your son's disappearance?"
Zhou Xianlang recalled everything, with a hint of pain in his eyes, and then briefly told the story of his son's disappearance.
It turned out that yesterday, Zhou Xianlang's wife took her son to Lingzhen Temple to burn incense, and her son also went with her. When she was about to leave, Zhou Xianlang's wife discovered that her son was missing.
In this way, the Zhou family almost turned over Lingzhen Temple, but they could not find their son.
In this way, Lingzhen Temple is naturally in trouble, but Lingzhen Temple is a temple under Pudu Temple. It has always been the most famous temple around the capital. It is protected by the imperial court, so Zhou Xianlang can't do anything.
After Hang Tianyi heard this result, he couldn't help but feel a little confused. The child actually disappeared in Lingzhen Temple. This should be very different from other situations.
"Captain Hang, your Kyoto Prefecture must solve this case as soon as possible. It's not just Quanzi that is involved. There are also many missing children. I suspect that someone is deliberately abducting children!"
There seems to be nothing wrong with Zhou Xianlang's words, but the edge hidden in them can be heard by anyone who is not a fool.
If Kyoto Prefecture cannot find the missing children as soon as possible, there will definitely be big trouble.
When Hang Tianyi heard such gentle words, he looked calm and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Don't worry, Sir, I and others will definitely try their best to solve the case and find the missing children!"
"It's not about trying your best, it's about being determined and must!" Zhou Xianlang has been an official for three years, and his official prestige is indeed not small.
Hang Tianyi still looked indifferent: "Everyone's ability is limited. If you change the position and the adults do this, can you guarantee that it will be done? Above the court, there are hundreds of civil and military officials, and every official has
When you have the opportunity to put forward opinions, can your Excellency guarantee that what you put forward must be the best? Or do you think that as long as it is put forward by you, His Majesty will adopt it?"
These few words were spoken very gently, without any sharpness, but the fierceness hidden in them made Zhou Xianlang, a man who could talk to all the scholars, speechless for a moment.
"Hang Baotou, who are you talking to?" Zhou Xianlang's voice was much louder and his brows were furrowed.
Hang Tianyi said: "Even your Majesty, who is in a humble position, says this. Does Mr. Zhou think that you are smarter than your Majesty?"
"You..." Zhou Xianlang's expression suddenly changed. He was really angry, but at this time, he couldn't find any words to refute Hang Tianyi.
"As I said before, I will definitely try my best to get my son back, but if it is beyond my ability, even if His Majesty orders me to blame him, I will have no choice but to admit it!"
When Hang Tianyi said this, he paused and continued: "If you don't have any instructions, I will resign from my humble position!"
"No!" Zhou Xianlang was obviously very angry at Hang Tianyi.
Hang Tianyi came out of Zhou Mansion and looked back. None of Wang Boduan's lackeys seemed to be simple.
Above the court, among the civil and military officials, there are countless people vying to be his lackeys. Perhaps, just because a dog of the Wang family lives more like a human being than ordinary people!
Thinking of this, Hang Tianyi just shook his head slightly. Although he was not a gentleman, he was definitely not a dog wagging its tail to beg for mercy.
Doing things for the emperor and kneeling before him is a natural thing in this world, but for Hang Tianyi, it is just like going to the grave and kneeling during the Qingming Festival in his previous life.
No, maybe it's not even close to that. When he kneels to his ancestors on Qingming Festival, at least Hang Tianyi is sincere.
After thinking wildly for a while, Hang Tianyi turned around and left. Calculating the time, Li Chunlai, Zhang Chenyu and others should also go back!
What news will they bring? At this moment, Hang Tianyi has a little more expectation in his heart.
