After the fourth master and I wear each other [Qing wear]

Prayer is useless!

Yinzhen immediately remembered that the gods and Buddhas in the sky had unilaterally blocked him.

It is better to ask for yourself than for others.

In order to prevent Wu Fuyi from opening the bookcase, he immediately acted out what it meant to be not active at work and having problematic thinking.

"I don't need you, I will write."

Yinzhen took the job directly.

"I just listened to the relationship network of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and now I will sort it out. Wait for a while, you can check for omissions and fill in the vacancies."

Wu Fuyi stopped walking towards the bookcase, turned around and looked at Yinzhen suspiciously.

"If my memory is okay, just a few sentences ago, you complained that there are too many notes piled up on the desk."

"No complaints, just stating the facts. Doing business, I think it's fine."

Yinzhen can't admit that he is also lazy.Anyone who goes out to live freely for two and a half years will be uncomfortable after suddenly returning to a state of work like a mountain.

This is beyond words.

Originally, I wanted to bargain with the old ghost, and the workload balance between the two needed to be adjusted slightly.Even if he can't reduce his work, he still wants to fight for benefits, and now it's all in vain.

Whether he has a ghost in his heart or wants to cover it up, he dare not let that "picture of the true face of an old ghost" be shown in front of others.

If the painting is not done well, the lie has already been thrown out.

There is always a price for lying.

Yinzhen walked towards the bookcase quite naturally instead of Wu Fuyi, and then he didn't forget to tease her.

"Why are you standing there stupidly? I'm here to write the relationship network of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so can you be lazy and stare blankly? There is no such thing as such a good thing. The third booklet from top to bottom on the right side of the desk, quickly take it out and have a look. "

Wu Fuyi smirked.

What is a workaholic? There is a typical example in front of you.

Yinzhen acted flawlessly, and continued, "A few days ago, you mentioned that you should look after your children's marriage partner, and I have already made a preliminary choice. It's all in this booklet."

Wu Fuyi heard that the range of candidates for finding a mate for the children had been delineated, and he became a little interested in gossip.

She didn't look at the bookcase any more, walked to the table and sat down, took out the roster and flipped through it.

There are three kinds of marks "△, ○, √" on it.

This is not a grade, but corresponds to the range of marriage candidates for Hongying, Honghui, and Mo Yaqi.

It is conceivable that this roster is quite thick.

Considering all three children's marriage partners at once, the workload is not small.

Wu Fuyi felt that Yinzhen's taking time out from his busy schedule should be used for this purpose.

A few steps away, Yin Zhen was extremely tense.

He faced Wu Fuyi sideways, tried his best to breathe steadily, and opened the bookcase with a calm expression that changed his face and heartbeat.

Immediately, the "Old Ghost's True Face Picture" was stuffed into the corner with the momentum of being unable to catch the thunder.He took out a stack of blank papers, quickly locked the cabinet door from the outside, and put the key next to him.

After completing this series of movements, he dared to breathe a sigh of relief, and his back was a little cold sweat.

Fortunately, the overly perfect painting was not exposed; fortunately, he did not have to face the embarrassment of lying and being exposed on the spot.

In the study room, the atmosphere was harmonious for a while.

One person flipped through the booklet, while the other sat down and began to silently write the list.

When Shuang Shuang finished the work at hand, the clock chimed to point to Xuzheng.

Wu Fuyi put down the roster, and she has no further suggestions for the range of marriage candidates Yinzhen selected for the children for the time being.

From the point of view of family background, this wave of selection is in line with the standard, and the selected objects are low-key and unobtrusive.However, getting married in the Qing Dynasty couldn't just require that the family be right, and the character of the daughter-in-law/son-in-law must also be inspected.

Good character is rare.

A virtuous and benevolent person like the Crown Princess Guerjia is really blind to marry the Crown Prince.

Not only did the prince dislike her, but more importantly, he was blatantly unkind to his wife.

It is not an exaggeration, if Yinreng can succeed to the throne, there is a 90.00% chance that the Guarjia family will not be able to be the queen.

Good people are hard to find, so we can only draw the bottom line first.

The daughter-in-law of King Yongjun must not be as arrogant and domineering as Bafu Jin, and the son-in-law must not be as irresponsible as Tong Jiashun Anyan.

There is no need to say these bottom-line standards.

If Yinzhen can't even think about these things, he can be thrown into the Hucheng River to wash his mind.

Cough cough, accidentally a little violent.

Wu Fuyi didn't think about it either, and attributed it to busy work stress syndrome.

Although the emperor is not in the capital, there is no need for an early court, but Yongjun Wang Jianguo means going to the cabinet every day.Don't let her actively strive to be the No. 1 clock in at work, but she can't wait until she arrives.

For this reason, the work and rest time should be adjusted, and you should go to bed no later than ten o'clock at night.

Right now, there are only two hours left.

I don't have time for leisure and entertainment today, so I have to continue to exchange information.

Shicai himself mentioned the relationship network of the Ministry of Internal Affairs obtained from Yinxuan, but Yinzhen hasn't talked about whether there is anything worth noting in the memorial.

Wu Fuyi asked: "Did you see any new news that you should pay attention to today?"

"There is one thing."

Yinzhen took out a copy from a pile of memorials, "There is news from Dingzhou, Hebei that Chen Rubi has passed away."

Wu Fuyi accepted the memorial, she remembered Chen Rubi, this man is not young, he should be about 60 years old this year.The reason why I remember this person is because a major case happened to him two years ago.

In the 44th year of Kangxi, Wang Yuan impeached Chen Rubi for taking bribes and perverting the law, and reported him for taking bribes of 3000 taels of silver.

The Ministry of Punishment took over the case for trial. The evidence for the initial conviction of corruption was conclusive. Chen was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging.

Chen Rubi shouted that he was wronged, never pleaded guilty, and insisted on appealing.

Officials from the Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate all came to the Ministry of Punishment, and the three judicial divisions held a joint trial together, and the ministers of state affairs also attended the hearing.

The trial was deeply divided.

Zuodu Yushi Shuge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate believed that An Bulu, then Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, made the correct verdict and that Chen Rubi should be sentenced to death.

Li Zhenyu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, also attended the case. He also had the experience of serving as Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment in the early years.Arguing with reason, pointing out many doubtful points in this case, the so-called evidence of Chen's bribery is not sufficient.

Chen Rubi was a Jinshi in the 18th year of Kangxi.

He has served as magistrate of Henan County, director of Shanxi Division of the Ministry of Punishment, doctor of the priest of the Ministry of Rites, and doctor of Ren Jiangnan Division of the Ministry of Punishment.

During his tenure, he was stern and selfless, and repeatedly solved strange cases.

He was highly praised and praised by Kangxi, so he was specially appointed as the chief examiner of the Jiangsu Provincial Examination, hoping that he could select more talents who serve the people.

Later, he was promoted to the official department.The official department can be said to be the head of the six departments, because it controls the promotion of officials.

Chen Rubi worked in the Wenxuan Department of the Ministry of Officials, and his main responsibility was to manage the transfer of local officials in various places.

Needless to say, this is a luscious position, and it is a lucrative position where money can be paid or hand paralyzed, but almost everyone knows that Chen Rubi will never accept bribes.

Kangxi mobilized the secret agents of the court and China to conduct a thorough investigation from the beginning.

After some twists and turns, there was a shocking reversal.

It was not Chen Rubi who accepted the bribes, but dozens of people, including An Bulu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and Shuge, the censor of Zuodu.

To put it simply, the top three judicial institutions of the imperial court and a group of high-level officials joined forces to falsely accuse Chen Rubi.

As long as Chen Rubi, who selected officials impartially, is gone, and he is kicked out from the position of the Department of Literature and Selection of the Ministry of Officials, then the door of convenience will be opened for cronyism.

"Two years ago, we heard in Hunan that the end of this case was that the senior officials of the three courts were replaced."

Yinzhen was recalled by the news of Chen Rubi's death. At that time, he was out of town and couldn't understand the details of the Ministry of Criminal Justice's trial.

Today, when I reviewed the case again, I found two things.

The 50 people who were dismissed two years ago, led by Shu Ge and An Bulu, were almost all princes.

An Bulu, who served as Minister of the Ministry of Punishments after Suo'etu was given to death.During his four years in office, the Chen Rubi case broke out and he was dismissed.

After that, Ashan took over as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.Not long after Ah Shan took office, a river construction case broke out to deceive the king.

When Kangxi appointed Minister of the Ministry of Justice, An Bulu and Ashan had not yet shown clear political inclinations.

The fact is that for five or six years, the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice has been dominated by the prince, who can say that Yinfeng has no intentions.

Yinzhen was very sure, "The Ministry of Punishment is very unclean. Even if the two Ministers of the Ministry of Punishment were dismissed and some officials were dismissed, it can be concluded that there are still problems that have not been discovered."

Wu Fuyi frowned slightly, "Five or six years is enough to form a chain of asylum, which is the fundamental reason why it is difficult to solve abduction and trafficking cases."

"exactly."

Yinzhen was very regretful, "Khan Ama asked the fourth supervisor to stabilize the situation in the capital in order to solve the abduction case. But the secrets of the first-line investigation cannot reach our hands, and we have no way of knowing the real progress of Jiangnan."

Kangxi sent people to Jiangnan to investigate the trafficking case, not only to combat illegal human trafficking, but also to realize that a huge network of interests was formed behind the incident.

The existence of this large net threatened the emperor's rule.It has penetrated into the Ministry of Internal Affairs and entered the inner court of the imperial palace, how can it not be uprooted.

Now look back at the court's highest judiciary.

The Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate's three judiciaries unexpectedly appeared in a conspiracy to turn black and white.

Even if a group of officials were dismissed, the problem of concealment still exists.

Otherwise, two years ago, there would not have been a sudden suicide by a middleman in a human trafficking group, and the clues of the case would have been interrupted.

Where is the source of a series of problems?

The answer is a sentence that cannot be said in public, as the saying goes, "If you celebrate your father's death, Lu's disaster will never end."

Not getting rid of the chief culprit is tantamount to capturing the thief but not the king, and now a group of officials who are doing evil have gathered around the prince.

Whether it is a party struggle, or a struggle with the imperial power, as time goes by, there are almost no noble and capable ministers around the prince.

Some of the virtuous people that the prince had befriended were demoted by Kangxi, some retreated bravely and left the princeling party, and most of the rest were greedy and powerful.

Wu Fuyi also hoped to take a look at the secret book. She didn't have clairvoyance, so it was impossible to know the progress of Jiangnan's investigation into the abduction case out of thin air.

However, the reason why the secret book is a secret book is that only the emperor reads it.

Zhezi did not go to Beijing through conventional channels.

King Yong couldn't see it, and neither could the other ministers in the cabinet, and he had no way of knowing who wrote the secret book.

Before Kangxi left Beijing, he mentioned that some students from the School of Science were arranged to enter the officialdom in Jiangnan, and they were responsible for investigating all matters in Jiangnan.However, Li Wei and others are still young after all, and there must be other local officials secretly investigating.

who?

Everyone can guess that Jiangnan weaving Cao Yin and Suzhou weaving Li Xu, these two must be Kangxi's eyeliner, but it is uncertain which other officials are there.

Sheng Jia went to Mulan Paddock for half a month, and there was no landslide and tsunami in the capital.

Everything was very peaceful, so peaceful that it seemed like the years had been quiet.There were no large-scale natural disasters, and no man-made disasters that shed blood and cried out for injustice.

Wu Fuyi felt more and more that this was the calm before the storm.

Just from the case of Chen Rubi, it is enough to see that the officials are not clear, how can the world be safe.

"Tell me, is there any clue?"

Wu Fuyi looked at Yinzhen, since he mentioned the news of Chen Rubi's death, he must have a plan.

Yinzhen asked back, "Are you sure I have something new?"

"I think there is, otherwise you will eat half of your dinner."

Wu Fuyi was sure that Ah Si's mood today was acceptable.

This person can sneak in his busy schedule to delineate the scope of his children's relatives, so it's impossible for him to have no clue about Jiangnan affairs.

Yinzhen did discover something, but it was just a suspicion.

Then I found a notebook, "Wu Cunli, the prefect of Suzhou, he handled a case in October last year, cracking down on robbers who robbed boys."

“Is there something wrong with this? Or is there something wrong with this person?”

Wu Fuyi took it over and saw that the case was clearly written and there was nothing wrong with it, but he had some impressions of Wu Cunli.

Wu Cunli once served as the county magistrate in Guangzong County, Hebei.In order to cure the flood of the Zhang River, he made great efforts to thoroughly investigate the waterway and river engineering, and rebuilt the dikes and dams that had been abandoned for many years.

This kind of thing sounds like what parents officials should do, but in fact many county officials will turn a blind eye.This person's evaluation in the official department has always been good, and he has been personally praised by the emperor, saying that he does practical things for the people.

Wu Fuyi waved his pocketbook, "Are you trying to tell me that people can change?"

"It's still doubtful."

Yinzhen pointed to the big box on the ground, "The illegal human trafficking case happened two years ago, and these are old cases related to human trafficking that you moved back from the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

An Bulu and Ah Shan, who served as ministers of the Criminal Ministry, knew the law and broke the law, and even framed and murdered their colleagues.

No one can guarantee the authenticity of the files brought back from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and there is a high probability that there will be unjust, false or wrongly decided cases.

Yinzhen has not discovered unjust, false or wrongly decided cases for the time being, but it made him discover something interesting.

"Wu Cunli has been an official in the south of the Yangtze River in recent years. He has cracked five cases of human trafficking in succession. I heard that he is good at river engineering, and he has experience in arresting human traffickers since he went to the south of the Yangtze River."

Illegal human trafficking has been cracked down every year, but it has been repeatedly banned.

It is not surprising that local officials investigate and handle such cases, but Wu Cunli's time to solve the case was concentrated in the past five years, which was the time period when the senior officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs had problems.

"The files in the mansion are limited, you go to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow."

Yinzhen suggested, "The year before last, Chen Rubi resigned after experiencing the frame-up case. Last year, Wu Cunli was promoted to the prefect of Suzhou. When Chen was still in the Department of Literature and Selection of the Ministry of Officials, what about Wu's performance appraisal record?"

The reason why Chen Rubi was harmed by the top officials of the three judicial departments was that he insisted on not accepting bribes and guarded the level of fair evaluation by the Ministry of Officials.

It would be best if Wu Cunli's evaluation records were consistent.

But assuming that Chen Rubi failed to give a high score, when he resigned and Wu Cunli was promoted to the magistrate, this matter needs to be considered.

Don't forget, there is a word called thief shouting catch thief.

The prefect of Suzhou is located in the south of the Yangtze River. He has contacted countless wealthy businessmen and is also a necessary place in the chain of illegal human trafficking.

How to cover up a crime?

A thief shouting and catching a thief might be a way.

Even if he was a good official who pleaded for the people, it doesn't mean that people will not change.

Like Chen Rubi, his upright life is worthy of admiration.But there are not many such people, and Chen Rubi was also tired of being squeezed by the officialdom, and finally retired.

Yinzhen is very suspicious, and he understands the fickleness of people's hearts.

Even he himself can change from a workaholic to not wanting to be overwhelmed by paperwork every day. How can he be sure that Wu Cunli has not changed?

Wu Fuyi wrote down this matter, and went to the Ministry of Officials the next day to check the old files.

This matter was really hit by Yinzhen.During Chen Rubi's tenure in the Ministry of Officials, the evaluation of Wu Cunli was only mediocre, far inferior to the later excellent.

Look at the details.

Looking at it from the beginning, Wu Cunli has been an official for more than 20 years. The first ten years were indeed very outstanding, but after he was transferred to the wealthy Jiangnan, his political performance began to be mediocre.If Chen Rubi hadn't resigned, based on the test scores he gave Wu Cunli, he would have to wait another ten years for promotion.

Wu Cunli, is this person one of the umbrellas in the illegal human trafficking network?

Yes or no need evidence to speak.Regardless, this is an entry point.Write a letter to Li Wei in Jiangnan, keep an eye on Wu Cunli, and you may be able to gain something by following the vine.

In the summer of the capital, the climate is scorching hot, but this year there has been no disturbance in the court.

Until the autumn of September, Kangxi Sheng drove back to Beijing, and the court meeting was held peacefully.

This kind of quietness is very rare, and some jokes have even been passed on.Why is no one doing anything?Because he didn't want to offend King Maoyong, the impeachment would wait until Kangxi returned to Beijing.

When the king of Yongjun was in charge of the country, he carried out impeachment. Maybe the plaintiff would be found out to be a false accusation, and finally put himself in it.But don't forget, the fourth master didn't even give face to the emperor's mother clan, the Tong family, and sentenced Long Kedo to death three years ago.

A joke is just a joke.

The more eerily quiet the capital is, the more it proves that something is about to happen.

At this time, the river officials played, and the Grand Canal was completely dredged.

The construction was not rushed this time, and it took ten months to do it steadily. If the emperor wants to make a southern tour, he can go to Jiangnan by boat.

to go or not to go

Kangxi quickly issued a decree to set off in October, but this time the fifth and seventh sons were left to supervise the country, and the rest of the princes went to Jiangnan together.

Wu Fuyi was not surprised that Kangxi would insist on going.

If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you get a tiger cub, Kangxi is exactly this kind of character.

Three days before departure, Yinzhen was finally able to draw a "true picture of the old ghost" that satisfied him.

Don't ask him how many paintings he repainted.

The question is that the artistic conception of one picture after another is wrong, such as "I see a gentleman, I don't like it", or "When the golden wind and the jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless people in the world" and so on.How can these artistic conceptions be revealed.

Therefore, these paintings were put into the "cold palace".

Yinzhen carefully locked all the portraits of the so-called wrong artistic conception in the cabinet.

There are also leaves in the cabinet that the old ghost played in the Mulan paddock, peach blossom specimens presented by the old ghost in Guangzhou, etc., so let them stay quietly in this secret corner.

"Look."

Yinzhen gave the final draft to Wu Fuyi to watch, "According to your description, I drew you alive. Do you look like it?"

"It's not easy. After four months of painting, you finally got it out."

Wu Fuyi spread out the scroll.Soon, her eyes froze and the corners of her mouth froze.

In fact, she is very capable of art appreciation, but she doesn't usually mobilize her artistic talents.

So, the portrait in front of me is like a "Wanted Warrant". What does it mean?

That's right, Yinzhen drew her previous appearance based on her description.

But, pay attention, here comes the turning point, the temperament of the person in the painting is completely wrong!

Wu Fuyi pointed at the portrait, "Ah Si, explain clearly why your painting expresses this meaning—extraordinary, extraordinarily high price, a reward of 100 million taels of silver is offered to bring this person to justice, regardless of life or death. You say Understood, how did I develop in the direction of the number one devil in Jianghu?"
