Chapter 2: Integration (2)
Since taking office, Wang Shaowei, the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture, has been the same as his predecessor Chen, who is trying hard to make money. However, he has not done too much. This is the fief of two royal palaces. The first two prefects have been paid to King Xin. Although he has the important task of surveillance of the Xinwang Mansion, he is just surveillance. He dare not act rashly, because he had just received a report from the court that Chen Jiuhui, who was demoted to a small county town in Jiangxi to commit suicide overnight. He would not believe it.
In my heart, the only murderer of Chen Jiugong and his son's death was probably the master he surrendered to, but the instructions he wanted to get to go to King Xin to try to cover up the evidence that he had embezzled the silver in the treasury and sent someone to assassinate Chen Jiugong and his son. Moreover, the case was closed by Chen Jiugong for a false accusation, and now it is taken out again. It is obvious that he wants to kill King Xin, Factory, what are you selling in this gourd? While the prefect was sighing, the dusty drum at the yamen was suddenly knocked to the sky.
Wang Shaowei rushed out of the second hall in panic, and the fourth consultant said, "Who is playing the drum? Who is playing the drum?"
The past two days, the magistrate Fan Fuzi was planning to resign and go home to farm. One corrupt official after another. He Tengjiao came in between. He thought he could show his ambitions and do his best for the people of Kaifeng. However, he knew that such a young and promising good official had not yet been hot, and offended Prince Xin and resisted the deficit of Guanyin. He was demoted to Liaodong to guard the border. Another one came. This person was not as arrogant as the Chen father and son, but he was also full of bad water. He was a bird of a feather. He heard that he had been a grandson for Wei Zhongxian, and he didn't know whether it was true or false. Anyway, he wouldn't serve him anymore. If the prefect shouted outside, he wouldn't go out.
When someone beats the drum, he has to go to the hall. Wang Shaowei reluctantly put on his official uniform and walked into the lobby. He slapped the wood of the awakening hall, yawned, and sat down softly and said, "Get to the hall!"
Fan Fuzi stood aside and looked at Wang Shaowei with a sneer. This was the last time he had stood in this court. From today on, we won’t be able to serve him anymore. I really didn’t expect that before leaving, I could still go back to the court under the plaque of justice and integrity, which would be considered as a good thing for me.
"Wei...wu..." Two rows of yamen runners shouted listlessly. They had not been promoted to the court for one day, and they were a little unfamiliar. They shouted with ups and downs, which made people fall asleep.
"Come on, bring the drum beater to the hall!" Wang Shaowei turned a blind eye, too lazy to care about these things, and directly ordered.
Xiong Zhaolian was already impatient waiting outside the government office. Hearing that the drum-beating man came to the hall, he walked in without waiting for the yamen runners to lead the way. When the yamen runners came to lead the way, they saw that they were the clothes of the guards of the Xin Palace. Who dared to come forward to stop him, so they had to let him enter the lobby.
"Who is in the hall, why are you playing the drum?" Wang Shaowei didn't see who it was, and asked with his eyes narrowed. Fan Fuzi beside him was surprised. He knew the clothes of the guards of the people in the palace and had seen them. He thought to himself, the prefect Wang might have done his best, so he couldn't help but feel happy and watched the development of things coldly.
"In Xiaxiongda, he is the chief guard of the Xinwang Mansion!" Xiong Zhaolian didn't even look at the prefect Wang Shaowei.
Wang Shaowei immediately opened his eyes, his eyelids twitched, and he looked at Xiong Zhaolian with a smile on his face and walked down, "I don't know why the guard of the horse beats the drum, and I can tell you what effective things can be done!"
Xiong Zhaolian looked at Wang Shaowei's humble eyes with disgust and said, "Actually, there is nothing to do. I will send a few big thieves to the Lord of the Mansion at the command of my prince."
"The thief in the Yangtze River?" Wang Shaowei was shocked.
"Yes, these thieves have been scouting places near my prince's villa for several days. My prince learned that they sent people to capture them. However, the capture of the bandits is the matter of the prefect's office, and the prince's office is not convenient for setting up a private court, so I just sent it to the Lord of the Mansion."
The more Wang Shaowei heard, the cold sweat broke out on his head. Now he was basically sure who the so-called thieves were.
Xiong Zhaolian ignored the change in Wang Shaowei's face. After explaining, he shouted outside: "Come on, bring those thieves in!"
Huh, more than a dozen people were taken into custody at once. Wang Shaowei fainted on the spot when he saw this. Aren’t these people the Jinyiwei and the spies from the East Factory sent from the capital? How many of them have seen them with their own eyes?
Xiong Zhaolian ignored these things and handed over the criminals and handed them over the paper. This matter was done.
Wang Shaowei was awakened by the yamen runners with cold water, and at this moment, his housekeeper ran over in panic. When he saw the trapped people in the hall, his face changed drastically. He quietly walked to Wang Shaowei's ear and muttered a few words. Wang Shaowei immediately turned off again. It turned out that the two people who were deliberately let go by Xiong Zhaolian came to find Wang Shaowei a day later, but they actually landed behind Xiong Zhaolian.
Now the whole hall is full of spies from Jinyiwei and Dongchang. They cannot be arrested, and they cannot be released, and they cannot be tried. Can Wang Shaowei not be dizzy? He also collected evidence to frame others, but was actually presented by others in advance.
The death of Chen Jiugong and his son was long as Zhu Yinglong expected. Even if Wei Zhongxian didn't kill them, he wouldn't let them go. Now, Wei Zhongxian is working for him and wants to take the opportunity to overturn the case and attack him. His abacus is good. Didn't they have used such a poor method long ago in the matter of abolishing the queen? Why did the same trick repeat it? It's really hard to figure it out!
"Prince, we will be very passive when Chen Jiugong and his son die like this." Shi Kefa's injuries have long been cured. He is now Zhu Yinglong's confidant, so he will discuss it with him if he has something to do.
"Don't think about these things first. Now the royal family is full of talents and more and more things are happening. The burden on your shoulders is getting worse and worse. There are not enough people, and even one person has a value. Now we have more people, so I want to hold a roundtable enlarged meeting to discuss future work assignments and action programs. What do you think?" Zhu Yinglong avoided that topic and put the most important things on the agenda.
Shi Kefa knew very well about Zhu Yinglong. Knowing that Zhu Yinglong said this, he must have a general idea in his heart. The reason why he said it to himself was to ask him to help him improve his idea. He smiled and said, "Did the prince have any ideas?"
Zhu Yinglong glanced at Shi Kefa, laughed and said, "Those who know me are brother Xian!"
"The prince treats Kefa's great kindness, Kefa will definitely serve the prince's work." Shi Kefa's nose felt sour, and the scholar was a close friend. Zhu Yinglong gave Shi Kefa a brand new stage. Can he not be grateful?
"Oh, Brother Xianzhi has gone where he said it. I think you are a friend and a relative. It's too indifferent to say these words." Zhu Yinglong couldn't help but feel moved.
"Prince, young lady is asking for a meeting!" Zhu Yinglong was about to tell Shi Kefa what he had in mind, and Xu Yingyuan came in and told him.
"Prince, Kefa takes his leave first!" Shi Kefa stood up to avoid it.
"No need, Xianzhi and Yingyuan, please come in." Zhu Yinglong held Shi Kefa and ordered Xu Yingyuan to do so.
Xu Ruying walked in with a frosty face, looked at Zhu Yinglong coldly and asked, "Would Ruying call you Mr. Shen, or should I believe in the prince?"
Zhu Yinglong knew that paper could not keep the fire, and what should come was still coming. Fortunately, this was in the villa, so there was no need to worry about anything going on. Zhu Yinglong looked at Xu Ruying calmly and said, "You should know that my identity is extraordinary, and you are already my king's person. I like you very much and treat you very well. Even if you kill someone from the Zhu family in the world, what can you do? Can your father survive? Can you get happiness? If you follow me, I can not only give you happiness, but also help you fulfill your father's last wish. Think about it carefully."
Compared to Zhu Yinglong's calmness, Shi Kefa was feeling like he was sitting on pins and needles at this time. When he didn't come, he heard such a big secret. You should know that the superiors were very taboo to their subordinates know their secrets. Even if Zhu Yinglong didn't mind, he could not calm Shi Kefa, because this was in feudal society, and no one shared his secrets with his subordinates for the reason. Moreover, Zhu Yinglong asked him to stay. In this era, Shi Kefa had only obedience, and Zhu Yinglong's original time and space could still be rejected. This may be the progress of the times.
"Zhu Youjian, you bastard, I, Xu Ruying, don't want the people from your Zhu family to be pitiful. You are a devil!" Xu Ruying cursed with a pale face and screamed loudly.
"Enough, Xu Ruying, killing your father is not my king. Besides, your father rebelled. If the court doesn't kill him, wouldn't he let him go? I treat you very well and I am even more favored with you. Think about how you harmed me." Zhu Yinglongteng stood up and blurted out.
"You, you..." Xu Ruying's lips trembled, her face burst into tears and could not speak.
"Dad, my daughter is unfilial, and she actually gave you all your life to the enemy who killed you!" This sudden news hit her so much that she couldn't stand it mentally, and she fainted in an instant.
"I'm here, take the princess down to rest!" Zhu Yinglong saw something was wrong and hurriedly asked someone to take Xu Ruying down to rest. He knew that things would always come, but he didn't know how to deal with it. And it was suddenly there. He thought that at least a while later, he would tell her personally, so he could only take Xu Ruying down temporarily, hoping to wait until she wakes up and calms down before telling her well.
"Prince, we still..." After the maid helped Xu Ruying down, Shi Kefa couldn't help asking.
"Okay, Xianzhi, you go out first, let me be quiet, hold the first round table enlarged meeting tonight, and notify everyone to attend!" Zhu Yinglong waved his hand tiredly.
"Yes, Prince, I will inform you now!" Shi Kefa sighed and left Tingyuxuan sadly.
