Chapter 258 Peeling the skin and filling the grass(1/2)
Chen Sihai looked at Chen Qiyu deeply. He finally knew why the county magistrate had asked him to the brothel.
This is to let yourself come here and see what this Henan prefect is doing here.
"Leave the evidence in your hand to me." Chen Sihai looked at Chen Qiyu calmly and said in a deep voice: "You don't need to ask about other things."
These words made Chen Qiyu stunned and said hesitantly: "Don't I have to do anything?"
"You are just a magistrate." Chen Sihai said patiently when he saw that he was puzzled: "You have fulfilled your responsibilities. You have done your best, and I should do the rest. This is my responsibility."
After saying this, Chen Sihai stood up, turned around and walked out.
Chen Sihai stopped again when he walked to the door, turned his head slowly to look at Chen Qiyu, and said with a gentle smile: "What you do today is a role model for the Ming officials. Your Majesty appreciates it, and the officials admire it. I don't want to come to you one day, so I can do it myself."
After saying this, Chen Sihai stopped stopping and turned around and walked out.
Only Chen Qiyu and Master Li Fang were left in the room.
Compared to Chen Qiyu himself, the expression on Li Fang's face was a little unfavorable. He hesitated and said, "This Lord Chen is really a little arrogant."
Chen Qiyu smiled, reached out and picked up the teacup and took a sip. The fragrance of tea instantly filled the entire mouth.
He smiled and said, "He is protecting me."
"I am a magistrate of Luoyang, and it is enough to do this. If I continue to do it, I am afraid that it will become the target of public criticism. I like this person very much. If the officials of the Ming Dynasty have this responsibility and responsibility, why worry about the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty?"
"Your Majesty's wisdom in using people today can be seen; the slander of your Majesty in the court and the people can also be seen."
After saying this, Chen Qiyu also stood up, turned around and walked out.
Compared to when he first came, his steps seemed extremely light and brisk at this time.
Luoyang City has always been a place of prosperity and hustle and bustle.
It is a little quiet in the northwest of Luoyang City. There is an inconspicuous yamen here, and there are very few people coming and going on weekdays.
Even if someone passes by, he still has to hide far away. If possible, many people will choose to detour.
This is the Jinyiwei Yamen in Luoyang.
It was originally a very peaceful day and there was nothing much to do, but on that day, a group of people came to the door of the Jinyiwei, which looked a little weird.
The doorkeeper couldn't help but look at them twice.
The leader was a man in his forties, wearing a long robe and elegant temperament.
There were several men following him, each with a different expression, but there were also several people who caught their attention because they smelled the same kind of breath.
A man walked quickly to the steps and said to the Jinyiwei who was guarding the door: "The Tongzheng Department inspected Shi Chen Sihai and Lord Chen, I want to see your thousand households."
Luoyang is just a prefecture, so the Jinyiwei is equipped with a thousand households.
The person guarding the door was stunned and saw the other party’s driving letter. He quickly reached out to pick it up.
He reached out and opened the driving post, took a quick look, or he took a quick look at the signature behind.
"The fourth-rank inspection history of Tongzhengsiji."
Although I don’t know what official position this is, I can’t afford to offend the fourth rank. Moreover, they are from the capital, which is even more extraordinary.
The guardian didn't dare to neglect and quickly said, "I'll go in and report immediately."
After saying this, he turned around and ran inside.
Inside the Jinyiwei Qianhu Yamen.
Chen Baili, a thousand households of the Jinyiwei in Luoyang, was drinking tea.
For him, it was a free afternoon, and there was not much in the Jinyiwei Yamen, so he came to have tea when he had time.
Looking at the person who was running in hurriedly outside, Chen Baili couldn't help but frown and scolded: "What do you think? Be safer, be safer. I have said this many times, don't be so anxious when encountering anything. We are the Jinyiwei, which represents the face of the royal family. Be steady! Stabilize!"
The visitor stopped panting, bowed to Chen Baili, and said, "Mr. Qianhu, a group of people came outside, saying that they were inspectors of Tongzhengsi. This is their letter of duty."
Hearing the words "Hang" post, Chen Baili immediately sat upright.
Obviously, the other party’s official position is higher than that of himself, otherwise he would use a prayer post. Now he is using a driving post, which proves that the other party’s identity is much higher, because if it is similar, he will also use a prayer post, which seems more polite.
In addition, the name that caught Chen Baili's attention was the inspector of Tongzheng Department.
If the Tongzhengsi Department was mentioned at this time, it would be very frequent, but it had little to do with the Jinyiwei, so they were not very concerned about it.
However, a few days ago, a document came from the Jinyiwei North Town Fu Office, informing the local Jinyiwei that when encountering the inspectors of the Tongzheng Office, they must cooperate well and not ignore them, otherwise they will be dealt with in accordance with family laws.
Such documents are unusual. Chen Baili didn't care about them either. Who knows when and whether these inspectors will come?
Unexpectedly, this is coming.
Chen Baili's face was not very good. She had nothing to do before, but now she was fine.
He reached out and took the driver's post, took a quick look, and stood up suddenly.
The Chief of the Inspection Department of Tongzheng Department, the fourth rank.
Chen Baili knew very well what this official position represents, which means that the Supreme Commander of the Inspection Department has arrived.
Originally, the inspection department was extraordinary, but now the highest commander has come, so there is something big about it.
After sorting out his clothes, Chen Baili quickly said, "Go out and greet him quickly."
After saying this, Chen Baili walked out quickly.
The Jinyiwei who came in to report the news had a strange expression on his face. Just now, Lord Qianhu himself said he should be steady and steady, but why is he unstable now?
But this complaint can only be kept in mind, and I will never dare to say it.
When Chen Baili rushed out of the yamen, he saw a group of people at the door at a glance.
Chen Baili quickly smiled and clasped his fists and said, "I wonder which one is Mr. Chen Sihai?"
"Chen Baili, the Qianyiwei of Luoyang Jinyiwei, is here to welcome him late, and I hope Lord Chen will forgive him."
Chen Sihai stood there, and smiled and hugged his fists and said, "I am Chen Sihai."
At the same time, Chen Sihai's heart was a little strange. Why are there people with the surname Chen everywhere?
The magistrate of Luoyang is named Chen Qiyu, and another Jinyiwei Qianjia named Chen Baili came out here. Fortunately, the magistrate of Henan is not surnamed Chen.
"It turns out that it was Lord Chen in front of him." Chen Baili said with a hurried smile: "Please come from Lord Chen."
Chen Sihai nodded and followed Chen Baili in.
Everyone came to the back hall, and after the guests and hosts sat down, the tea was also brought up.
Chen Baili said politely: "The Jinyiwei Yamen is a little simpler, I hope Lord Chen will take care of it."
He waved his hand gently and put down the teacup in his hand. Chen Sihai smiled and said, "As an official, he is honest and self-reliant; the yamen is magnificent, but not beautiful."
"Mr. Chen is far-sighted and right." Chen Baili quickly said with a smile.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Chen Sihai did not hide it anymore, but continued: "This time I came to Luoyang, I came to Luoyang to follow the imperial edict of His Majesty to thoroughly investigate the case of corruption and bribery by the Henan Prefect."
"After several days of investigation, I have already had tangible evidence in my hands. This time I came to the Jinyiwei Yamen, hoping that Chen Qianhu could allocate some Jinyiwei's staff and follow me to seek prisoners."
When Chen Sihai said this, Chen Baili was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "There is naturally no problem."
"The Jinyiwei North Town Fushi has written a document, and the Jinyiwei in various places should cooperate with the Tongzhengsi. So if you have any needs, it doesn't matter." Chen Baili said with a smile.
It’s just that it’s just a magistrate who arrested a prefect, which is not a difficult task for the Jinyiwei.
However, Chen Baili was not at ease and wanted to arrest Henan prefect Liao Zhong.
They were all mingled on the ground in Luoyang. Chen Baili naturally knew Liao Zhong's character, but this was not his responsibility, and it was not his turn to take care of it.
Luoyang's Jinyiwei has its own responsibilities, and watching King Fu is the key. If King Fu has rebelled and the Jinyiwei does not notice it, it is their negligence. Other matters are not under their control.
However, Chen Baili also had some doubts in his heart. Just arresting a prefect, why is this so?
You should know that the Tongzhengsi's yamen was able to dispatch Jinyiwei, which shows how powerful it is.
Chen Sihai in front of him is also a selected person in the Tongzheng Department, and he is in charge of the inspection department. Is it necessary for him to take action personally when checking a prefect?
After thinking about it for a moment, Chen Baili knew that something was wrong here. But he didn't know what was going on and didn't ask.
"That's great." Chen Sihai nodded and said, "Then let's take people with us."
After saying this, Chen Sihai stood up and looked like he was about to leave.
Chen Baili said hesitantly: "Can you go now?"
Hearing Chen Baili's words, Chen Sihai stopped, turned his head and stared at Chen Baili. The smile on his face slowly disappeared, and he said with a calm face: "Is there anything inconvenient for Chen Qianhu?"
Chen Baili shook his head quickly, "No, I'll prepare the manpower immediately."
Chen Sihai just looked at this, and Chen Baili felt heartbroken.
This guy was not a good guy at first glance, and when he asked himself, it was obvious that there was a pitfall. If he said it was inconvenient, he would probably have caught him together.
"It's so good, let's go." Chen Sihai nodded and said.
In fact, Chen Sihai did this in order to keep it secret and not give Henan prefect Liao Zhong a chance to react. Otherwise, if there is a mistake, he would not be able to afford it.
You should know that although Liao Zhong is a prisoner, he is also a very important witness. Once the news leaks out, do you know if Liao Zhong will commit suicide?
If Liao Zhong dies, how can I check it down?
