After being manipulated by He Gujin, Xue Pan put down his complaint and left.
As soon as he left, Chen Xuanyi appeared in the garden, standing in front of He Gujin with a serious expression.
"Your Excellency, you left the complaint because you want to take over this case."
Sighing, He Gujin said helplessly, "I'm afraid I won't accept it."
< p>"Who else can force you?""What do you think?" He Gujin asked back.
Chen Xuanyi was stunned for a moment. He thought of a lot in an instant and had a rough idea of the situation.
The two were silent for a while, but Chen Xuanyi spoke first, "Now is the time for the government treasury to be inspected, and all levels of government offices are focused on making up for the shortfall. If Hu Jinan is singled out for blackmailing wealthy households, do you know what the consequences will be?"
The natural consequence is that he will be regarded as an enemy by Jinling officials, and he will no longer be an official.
He Gujin understood the truth, but his previous conversation with Zheng Xianlin made him give up the idea of escape.
It was a good thing for He Gujin that he took the case forward and was dismissed from office when things got serious.
What’s wrong with leaving the whirlpool of Jinling and going back to your hometown to spend your remaining years in peace.
"Let me think about this matter again"
Putting away the complaint, He Gujin walked outside the hospital. He planned to discuss it with Zheng Xianlin before making a decision. Decide.
However, he did not know that Xue Pan's lawsuit against Hu Jinan had gradually spread to Jinling official circles under the promotion of thoughtful people.
It was evening, and there was a large farm thirty miles southwest of Yingtianfu City.
The manor is full of pavilions and pavilions, making it a good place to relax and recuperate.
In one of the attics, an old man in green robes was standing on the railing, looking deeply at the bright moon in the sky.
This person is Qian Ruiming, the counselor to the Chief Secretary of Jinling and the Taoist priest in charge of Changzhen Branch. He is one of the few high-ranking officials in Jinling.
Although he is a fourth-grade official, Qian Ruiming's face is full of sadness because he has encountered difficulties recently.
As an official who supervises the money and food of the two governments in Zhenjiang and Changzhou, these two governments have a deficit in money and food, part of which is related to Qian Ruiming. How can he not feel anxious?
The shortfall will definitely not be made up in a short time. How can he really report the true situation? If he does that, the national law will not forgive him.
The two local governors pretended to be deaf and dumb, and a group of censors ignored everything. If Qian Ruiming didn't want to sit back and wait for death, he had to do something.
"Master, the guests are here"
"Please"
After a while, a man wearing a blue round-neck robe and a Dongpo scarf appeared. The old man appeared under the attic.
"Master Qian, you are so laid-back, I really admire you"
"Master Liu, please stop teasing me, we are both ants on the hot pot now"
“An ant on a hot pot, if things continue like this, I’m afraidWe will really be burned to death by this fire."
Qian Ruiming sighed, waved to the people downstairs and said, "Okay, come up and talk."
This is an extremely private conversation. , so there were no maids to serve them up and down the attic, so the two old men had no choice but to pour the wine and pick up the food themselves.
"Master Liu, what's going on over there?"
After a drink. , Liu Deyan put down his wine glass and said, "It's almost the same, what else can happen?"
"Can you think of a way to let the Japanese pirates burn some treasury, that's how we do it"
Upon hearing Qian Ruiming's bold decision, Liu Deyan immediately interrupted him, "Old Qian, are you crazy?"
"The treasury is in short supply. We are greedy for money. We will be dismissed from office or exiled, or else we will be cut off." "It's just a head"
"If he colludes with Japanese pirates, he will be punished as treason and will be punished by the nine tribes"
As a prosecutor, Liu Deyan supervised the criminal names of the two prefectures in Songjiang, Suzhou, and the Ming Dynasty Lu naturally understood this.
Hearing this, Qian Ruiming sneered and said, "As long as the plan is thorough, it may not be known by others."
Unexpectedly, Liu Deyan stood up directly, gloomy. He said with a face, "If you ask me to tell you this later, let's end it here." Seeing Liu Deyan was about to leave, Qian Ruiming quickly said, "It's not that there is no other way. Why don't you sit down?" Listen."
Glancing at Qian Ruiming, Liu Deyan sat back again, looking a little impatient.
"There is a saying that unites as one, and there is also a saying that there is no accountability. Everyone, how many officials are like us in the entire Jinling and how many are there in the entire Ming Dynasty?"
"If Master Thirteen is asked to investigate like this, I'm afraid everyone inside and outside the court will be in danger."
"So?" Liu Deyan asked coldly
"We have no control over other places. As long as we gather people in Jinling and go directly to the palace to petition for the abolition of the bad government, we will surely make the prince compromise with the momentum. ”
“Why did the prince compromise?”
“Let’s just say that forced investigation will definitely lead to boiling public dissatisfaction and the danger of local changes. At that time, one or two counties will be arranged to create trouble for the people.” If there is trouble, the prince will definitely retreat."
After hearing this, Liu Deyan felt that it was feasible. He asked with a gentle expression, "But what we are doing, the people in the court are not blind. Your Majesty is a sage, and inciting the people to chaos is a capital crime."
"You don't have to worry about the court, there will be someone to speak for us."
"Who?" Liu Deyan looked scrutinized. .
While pouring the wine, Qian Ruiming smiled and replied, "Who else?"
He nodded, the answer was self-evident, and Liu Deyan did not continue to ask.

After clinking glasses with Liu Deyan, Qian Ruiming continued, "Actually, it's not just Prince Rui. There are many people in the court who don't want to cause trouble in the country, and they will also speak for us."
"Really? ”
“The money and food cannot be counted. What’s the problem? Apart from the corruption of officials, should we check the land or the population?”
Pointing to the sky, Qian Ruiming said solemnly, "Now that Xie Ge is old, the cabinet battles are becoming more and more fierce."
"Zhao Ge is determined to innovate, and these things may be used as excuses."
The imperial court is in chaos. The combination of accounts and local small accounts is the performance of an outstanding local official, and Qian Ruiming is undoubtedly particularly outstanding.
"In that case, Mr. Zheng and Mr. He, why don't you also go and talk about it?" Liu Deyan said in a deep voice.
"I have been to Mr. Zheng's place, but I was blocked back before I could even speak." At this point, Qian Ruiming was extremely unhappy and drank another glass of wine.
Nodding, Liu Deyan said helplessly, "I also went to see Mr. He the day before yesterday, but he had a business-like attitude. I really don't know what they were thinking."
Qian Ruiming said, "They have their own concerns, they can only say different things."
Only relatively clean people can choose to keep things official, otherwise they would have been like the two of them.
When it comes to Anchasi, Liu Deyan suddenly remembered something.
"Today, we encountered a case at the Bureau of Investigation. The eldest son of the Xue family sued Hu Jinan, the official of Yingtian, saying that he oppressed Liangshan and extorted money."
What happened at this juncture Such a strange thing immediately aroused Qian Ruiming's thoughts.
Of course he is a smart man, and he realized that things were not simple without Liu Deyan's reminder.
The two chatted for a while and finally reached an agreement. The next step was to recruit people to join the team.
"There are eleven prefectures and seventy-two counties in Jinling. Everyone who can be brought in will be brought in. The more people there are, the safer we will be."
Standing up, Liu Deyan cupped his hands and said "That's it, you go south and we go north, let each go his own way."
"That's great, when are you going to petition?" Qian Ruiming said solemnly.
Liu Deyan thought for a moment and then said, "We will gather in Jinling in three days, and then we will act accordingly."
"That's it," Qian Ruiming said solemnly. Please remember to collect it. The website is the latest and fastest without anti-theft. To find books and add books for free, you can join the qq group 952868558
